My Core is the Boss

Half an hour later, Han Xianyun arrived at the hotel. Before even parking, he spotted a familiar figure. "Brother Qi?"

Without hesitation, he got out of the car and ran over. He froze when he got closer. Beside Qi Yuan stood a charming young woman in a black, waist-cinching dress.

Her pale skin was a striking contrast to her dress. Beneath the hem was slender, shapely legs wrapped in black stockings. Her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. It was as if the woman had come from a different era, embodying both classical and modern beauty.

Han Xianyun had once thought Princess Huansha was already stunning, and here was another woman who made even her seem ordinary.

"This is Han Xianyun. Hmm, just some guy I know. He has unique tastes. He likes very 'wow' women," said Qi Yuan to the girl before turning to Han Xianyun. "This is Ning Tao, also called Canary. She's my... mm... we're about to get our marriage certificate."

Qi Yuan paused slightly on the last words.

The petite girl in black, delicate and cute, blushed slightly. She playfully wrapped her arms tightly around Qi Yuan's. "Hehe, Blood Drop, I thought you liked men."

Qi Yuan glanced at Han Xianyun. "Don't talk nonsense. I'm perfectly straight."

Han Xianyun, on the other hand, could be considered straight in a strange way.

Qi Yuan added casually, "Since you're here, why don’t you take us around? You know the area, and Canary has just arrived. We're planning to buy some clothes and stuff."

After all, this was a casual life game. What would be the point if he didn't buy nice outfits for his wife and admire her? She would certainly be a feast for the eyes.

Han Xianyun replied anxiously, "Brother Qi, forget shopping! This is urgent! According to my brother, someone from the Seven Martial Stars has set their sights on you!"

Due to their unshakable position, the Seven Martial Stars were a taboo in the Qin Yuan Kingdom.

As soon as Han Xianyun finished speaking, he felt the atmosphere grow frigid, as if he were standing in the middle of winter, but the feeling disappeared just as quickly.

Realizing the aura likely came from the girl beside Qi Yuan, his heart shook. Could she be another powerhouse?

Canary asked sweetly, her voice like honey, "Where are the Seven Martial Stars?"

Qi Yuan held her small hand. "It's just a game. Don't take NPCs seriously; it's a waste of emotion."

Canary just smiled.

Han Xianyun hesitated. "Brother Qi, I know you're strong, but the Eye of the Sky is terrifying. You might..."

Qi Yuan laughed. "I might be weak and helpless now, but my wife is here. If they hit me, she will step in. I'm not afraid!"

He was the embodiment of a spoiled young master. Hit the small one, and the big one would show up. With Canary around, he could jaywalk across Arch Star.

Canary clung to his arm tightly and nodded. "Hehe, I've got your back, Blood Drop!"

Han Xianyun looked at her suspiciously, full of doubt and confusion. Could she be even stronger than Qi Yuan?

A day later, in a military base, a dossier lay on the table. Marquis Blue Sea stood nearby, maintaining a respectful look.

A man with gold-rimmed glasses sat before him. He glanced at the file, amazement flashing in his eyes. "Power really is everything. Even such a woman is willing to devote herself to him."

He had seen many beautiful women of all kinds. However, none was as splendid as the one beside Qi Yuan. If she was breathtaking even when captured by an ordinary camera, without any filters or enhancements, how stunning would she be in reality? And yet, such a woman leaned obediently against Qi Yuan.

A trace of jealousy rose in the man’s heart.

Marquis Blue Sea asked cautiously, "Young Master Mu, what should we do?"

He had investigated Qi Yuan and stolen his information under Mu's orders. However, Qi Yuan discovered him and even sent a coffin, which terrified the marquis. After all, he was facing a man who had wiped out a military camp by himself.

Though Guiran's forces were weak compared to Qin Yuan's, Qi Yuan was undoubtedly formidable. Only a few weapons in the kingdom were capable of killing such a man.

Arrogance filled Young Master Mu’s eyes. "It’s simple: you'll personally apologize to him tomorrow. As for me, I'll go meet his little girlfriend. If he's sensible, he'll know what to do. If not, his end will be miserable. That little girlfriend of his will become a widow, and I just happen to like that sort of thing."

The Seven Martial Star families had ruled this land for over a thousand years. No matter how emperors changed or rebellions arose, it was always the same people at the top. Such stability inevitably bred arrogance.

No matter how frightening Qi Yuan was, could he compare to Brilliant Star? Even a single warship of theirs could annihilate Qi Yuan. That same powerhouse had failed in its attempt to invade Arch Star, a testament to the unshakable rule of the Seven Martial Stars.

Hence, Young Master Mu had every reason to be proud, especially when they had learned considerably about the revival of the immortal dao. To them, Qi Yuan was merely a variable.
