Chapter 1842 - 1843: To Kill You, Why Need a Treasure?
Indeed, after the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus matures, its whereabouts become unpredictable.
At that time, the struggle for the Blood Lotus won’t just be countless factions clashing head-to-head. More often, it will be each relying on their own abilities, searching in the vast Snow Mountain. It’s possible that once found, it will be taken home quietly, and no one would know who has obtained the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus.
But just in case, with plenty of time available now, it’s naturally best to first examine the strength of the various groups.
Who knows if there will be a fight then?
As they say, know yourself and know your enemy, and you’ll never be defeated in a hundred battles!
With Ye Xiaoying’s suggestion breaking the silence, the room was suddenly filled with the flattering voices of several people.
"Sister Ying, you’re brilliant!"
"Sister Ying is so considerate."
"Sister Ying, you’re amazing!"
"..."
Ye Xuan was speechless, his head full of black lines.
I know you guys are competing with me, but there’s no need to mindlessly praise your new leader in front of me like this, is there?
As for Ye Xiaoying, she was quite satisfied with Chi Lian and the others’ performance. Subtly and somewhat smugly, she even glanced at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan pulled the corner of his mouth, feeling a toothache.
Ye Xiaoying continued, "You’ve been in the Northwest for some time now. Do you know where the different groups show up the most?"
Chi Lian shook his head, "Sister Ying, no, we don’t! Brother Black Emperor told us to be honest and stay put these days. We were even told not to leave our doors, so how would we know where those people like to hang out!"
Xiong Shan nodded along, big-headed, "Yeah, we’ve been really obedient!"
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes. Okay, not only are you throwing shade at me, but you’re also trying to pin the blame on me. You little brats sure hold a lot of grudges against me!
At this moment, Ye Lang scratched his head, sneaking a guilty glance at Ye Xuan, and weakly chuckled, "Actually, um, I haven’t been all that well-behaved these past few days..."
Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Ye Xiaoying looked at Ye Lang, "Continue."
"Um, alright then, I’ll continue."
Ye Lang laughed heartily, "You know men, not everyone is like that big dummy Xiong Shan, right? I don’t have a wife or girlfriend, and staying indoors for days is really boring, so I went out to have some fun last night.
Well, those chicks were really something, each with their own skills, and with such distinctive local ethnic charm. I still remember them today."
Ye Xiaoying frowned, "Get to the point!"
"The point?" Ye Lang thought for a moment and said, "The point is that after a fight lasting more than an hour, I was drained and now my waist still hurts!"
Everyone was speechless, black lines all over their faces.
Ye Xiaoying and Chi Lian both wanted to draw their swords.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, mockingly glancing at Ye Xiaoying and saying, "Being their leader isn’t that easy. If you can’t handle it, just step down."
Ye Xiaoying glared at Ye Xuan, "You think you can handle it?"
"Of course I can," Ye Xuan boasted with a smile, "I’ve been the boss for many years, especially with this kid Ye Lang, I even know what he’s thinking from a fart."
Ye Xiaoying: "Heh, heh."
Ye Xuan said pouting, "You don’t believe me?"
Ye Xiaoying crossed her arms, the meaning clear.
Ye Xuan shrugged, then looked at Ye Lang, lazily asking, "Just tell us, what happened last night wasn’t the main point?"
"The unimportant part?" Ye Lang tilted his head, thought for a moment, and finally had a realization, "Oh, I remembered. Last night at the bar, besides me, there were many weird guys there too, and quite a few of them got into fights over pretty girls. The scene was so bloody, it was almost like a battlefield!"
Ye Xiaoying: "..."
Chi Lian: "..."
Oh my gosh... This should be the main point, right?
Men, none of them are any good!
But Ye Xuan was quite relieved, looking smugly at Ye Xiaoying, "Did you see that? This is the proper way to understand Ye Lang!"
"No one understands me better... except the boss, uh no, Ye Xuan!" Ye Lang earnestly laughed.
Ye Xuan wanted to kill this brat.
Only then did Ye Xiaoying come to her senses, glaring discontentedly at Ye Xuan, and asked, "So... last night’s bar is probably the place where the various groups frequent the most?"
"Not exactly!" Ye Lang shook his head, "To be exact, almost every bar in this city is where the various groups frequent the most. After all, we’re all men!"
Ye Xiaoying also felt like killing this brat.
Chi Lian always thinks about it.
Only Xiong Shan stood dumbfoundedly on the side, feeling out of place among the men.
What’s so fun about bars? He couldn’t understand.
"Alright."
Ye Xiaoying nodded, "There’s still more than a dozen days before the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus matures. In the coming days, we’ll visit one bar each day... How many bars are there in this city?"
"Not many, just eight or nine!" Ye Lang clearly had already checked them out.
Ye Xiaoying felt even more like killing him.
This guy, relying on his good looks, how many decent young girls had he ruined?
Scumbag.
Compared to this, Ye Xuan is like a super sweetheart!
Unfortunately, Ye Xiaoying didn’t have the habit of killing teammates.
"Let’s go, tonight, we’ll start with the bar you went to last night." Ye Xiaoying stood up.
"Alright! I’ll lead the way!" Hearing they were going to a bar, Ye Lang immediately brightened up, itching to instantly teleport there.
The others stood up as well.
Of course, Xiong Shan didn’t need to.
They were all about to head out with Ye Lang.
"Hey, hold on!"
Ye Xuan seemed to suddenly remember something, grabbing Ye Xiaoying to question: "Didn’t you say you were here for the treasures? Why are you suddenly fixated on the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus?"
"I suddenly lost interest in treasures and prefer the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus. Is that not okay?" Ye Xiaoying’s attitude toward Ye Xuan was as bad as ever.
Ye Xuan frowned, "But don’t you want to get stronger? You came for the treasures to become stronger and then kill me, didn’t you?"
"To kill you, who needs treasures?" A flash of guilt crossed Ye Xiaoying’s beautiful eyes as she pouted, "Treasures are too dangerous. At worst, I’ll spend a few more years and still kill you!"
With that, Ye Xiaoying lifted her foot to leave the room, giving Ye Xuan no chance to ask more questions or ponder further.
Watching Ye Xiaoying’s quickly disappearing figure, Ye Xuan was bewildered, "Is she crazy?"
If she’s not crazy, what is she?
Ye Xuan wanted to come to the Northwest, and Ye Xiaoying insisted on following, claiming she wanted to get stronger. But actually? From start to finish, Ye Xuan never felt she was that eager for the treasures.
Unconsciously, this woman even directly took over Ye Xuan’s position, leading Ye Xuan’s crew to do what Ye Xuan wanted to do.
Is this someone who wants to kill him?
This clearly is someone going all out to help him, sparing no effort to save him worries and energy!
If you hadn’t said it was impossible, I’d suspect you’ve fallen in love with me!
