My Core is the Boss

Qi Yuan asked, "What kind of cooperation?"

Cold sweat formed on Marquis Blue Sea's forehead. "As long as you forgive us, the higher-ups are willing to coexist peacefully with you. However, you'll need to hand over some of your cultivation techniques. In return, we will provide you with cultivation resources."

Qi Yuan smiled. "If I give them, do you dare to take them?"

Marquis Blue Sea's heart was in turmoil. "I am sure the higher-ups will gladly accept them!"

At that moment, a young man behind the marquis stepped forward. "Mr. Qi, please think carefully. Your strength is indeed astonishing. You wiped out the Guiran military camp on your own. But the Seven Martial Stars control the Eye of the Sky. In this kingdom, we hold the power of life and death over all living beings.

"Anyone who offends Qin Yuan will be punished, no matter how far away. Even Brilliant Star couldn't graze us. If anyone stirs trouble within our borders, don't blame us for being ruthless."

His tone was stiff, his threat unmistakable.

Qi Yuan remained cheerful, as if he hadn't heard anything. "I always obey the law and enjoy helping others. I even help old ladies cross the street. If you had Young Troopers here, I'd definitely be the captain, wearing a little red scarf every day."

His words left them speechless. They exchanged glances, unsure how to continue. Before arriving, they had profiled Qi Yuan. Someone as powerful as him should've been decisive and intolerant of threats. Hence, they especially provoked him.

And yet, not only was Qi Yuan unfazed, but he also spoke of helping others. If things ended on a peaceful note, it would mean their mission had failed. That was not what Young Master Mu wanted. If they failed, their families would not be spared. They had to provoke him, but not too obviously.

Marquis Blue Sea's thoughts were in chaos. What am I supposed to do?

At that moment, the perfect opportunity appeared. Though, it was far more terrifying than expected.

With a loud bang, a body fell from the second floor of the jewelry store, landing right in front of the marquis. The man's gold-rimmed glasses were shattered. Blood flowed from his face. His throat was crushed, and his internal organs were in disarray.

Seeing the lifeless body, Marquis Blue Sea's face changed drastically. "Young Master Mu!"

The dead man was indeed Young Master Mu. They were supposed to deal with the difficult Qi Yuan, while Young Master Mu would handle the harmless girlfriend. Yet he was dead.

Footsteps echoed. Canary smiled as she descended the stairs. She wore a black-and-white knit top, complete with black stockings.

"He was showing off his wealth, asking if I'd ever seen a house made of gold," she said lightly, wrapping her arm around Qi Yuan's. "He also said he wanted to show me how the most beautiful weapon in the world—the Eye of the Sky—would shine."

"Oh." Qi Yuan nodded. "With your move, he shouldn't have even left a corpse."

"If I didn't leave a body, how would they know I killed him?" Canary's eyes were filled with killing intent. "Husband, let my sword clear away all the dregs of this world for you!"

Over the past few days, she had noticed many eyes watching them. They had simply ignored it. Yet today, the trash dared to come to their door. Especially that Mu fellow, who was simply too arrogant and overbearing. He even tried to win her over with money.

The final straw came when Young Master Mu talked about using the Eye of the Sky on Qi Yuan. At that point, she sent him straight to the King of Hell.

Marquis Blue Sea collapsed, his eyes lifeless. "He's dead... Young Master Mu is dead... We're finished... All of us are finished..."

It was the worst possible outcome. If only he died, his family could've survived.

Once, someone had murdered a member of the Seven Martial Stars in a city. In response, they had sent troops and wiped out the killer's entire family, and even those connected to them.

A direct heir like Mu was beyond noble. His death would shake the entire Longtai.

Qi Yuan smiled, still looking extremely carefree.

Canary then said, "Where is his home? Give me a location."

Everyone froze.

"Kill her!" one uniformed man shouted, firing his gun.

Unfortunately, guns were meaningless against someone like Canary. She didn't even move, and all her assailants died on the spot.

Fragments of memory flooded her mind. "So, it's there."

She had obtained the location of the Mu family. Next, it’s time for...

Just then, she narrowed her eyes, as if gazing beyond the sky. Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "That's the Eye of the Sky? Had I encountered it in the Flowing Wind World, it would've been troublesome for sure. But now? Husband, I'll take you to watch fireworks!"

Meanwhile, in a hotel, Mu Longxian's face was filled with shock and grief. Mu Jue, his only son, had been killed. Mu Longxian had watched everything through surveillance footage. That woman killed his son!

Even the old master favored his son. Now, everything was gone.

He had lost all reason. "How dare they... They must die! Fire the Eye of the Sky!"

In the hall, the officials' expressions changed.

Han Kang stepped forward to persuade him, "Master Mu, calm down. We can't use the Eye of the Sky recklessly. Everyone in that area will die !"
