Chapter 896 I will spare no expense
"We've found the small fish, now we just need the big fish. And after the big fish, there's the even bigger catfish."
"When you get to the battlefield, how will you change the course of the battle?" Orange asked.
Xu Tianran wants to start a war, and plans have already been drafted within the upper echelons of the Sun Moon Empire.
"Don't worry, I will contain the spread of this war. Trust me." A look of determination flashed across Ye Nanxiao's face.
Looking at Ye Nanxiao's resolute expression, the three women all felt a deep sense of worry.
Ye Nanxiao's current power, whether it's the incredibly wealthy Aodu Chamber of Commerce, the Shadow Stream cooperating with Xingluo, or the Jade Balance Tower rooted in Tianhun, the combined power of these three can influence an empire, but cannot stop it.
Let alone an army in war.
Once a clash occurs with the army, the empire can quickly cut off all of the Audu Merchant Guild's supply lines. Without resource support, the hunters cannot stop the army.
Not to mention that the Empire also possesses a large number of war-grade soul tools.
After a long silence, Ju Zi stood up and said, "Now that the matter is settled, let's head back."
"You bastard fox, I believe you. You won't lie to me, right?"
Ye Guyi silently looked at Ye Nanxiao. She, who was usually not good at showing her emotions, was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
"I, Fox, never lie to my own people," Ye Nanxiao replied with a faint smile.
"Leaving so fast, aren't you going to leave a kiss?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Orange's feigned calmness shattered instantly. She turned and glared at Ye Nanxiao, then casually put Little Illusion Fox on the sofa and snuggled into Ye Nanxiao's arms.
"Eek!"
The little fox started to protest; she also wanted hugs and kisses.
It was simply ruthlessly suppressed by the oranges.
Ye Nanxiao rubbed the teeth marks on his face, wondering if he had provoked a little orange cat, or if it would bite when it was angry.
Ye Guyi picked up the little fox, walked to Ye Nanxiao, blushed, stood on tiptoe, and lightly kissed Ye Nanxiao's other intact face. Then she dragged Ju Zi away quickly.
"Hey, didn't Xiaoguyi just ask what kissing feels like? You need to try it out, mmm!"
After seeing Ju Zi and Ye Guyi off, Ye Nanxiao rubbed his knees, wondering why he hadn't thought of slacking off when he was condensing the ice keyboard.
Will I develop arthritis in the future?
"Boss." Feng Shiyi walked up to Ye Nanxiao and looked at him quietly.
"What's wrong? If you want a raise, write it yourself. You have all my stamps." Ye Nanxiao said, turning his head.
Feng Shiyi stared at Ye Nanxiao's face for a few seconds, her gaze shifting between his left and right cheeks. Finally, she sighed and muttered to herself, "It's a pity they all beat me to it."
"what?"
Feng Shiyi walked away, sat on the sofa, and asked, "Boss, I don't recall having any plans to stop the army, and we don't have enough trusted men for this."
Although the hunter organization of the Oto Chamber of Commerce has the largest number of members among the three major forces, it has few confidants and core members, and most of its loyal members are members outside the hunter program.
Only one-third of the hunter squads are die-hard fans with the team's name, and only two of the top ten squads have that name, one of which is the Valkyrie of Otsu, whose position is already locked.
Most of the other hunter teams were in an employer-employee relationship, exchanging benefits with the Audu Chamber of Commerce. Since they could agree on the benefits, they had no intention of betraying the Audu Chamber of Commerce, but they also lacked the determination to go to the battlefield for Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao touched his face, seemingly realizing what Feng Shiyi had been trying to do.
This girl is getting better and better at talking back to the boss!
"Hunters don't need to confront the army head-on. As long as their lives aren't in danger and the benefits are big enough, they'll be tempted. Just like this time, Night Peacock agreed without hesitation."
"The hunters only need to gather information and respond when conditions permit; I'll handle the rest."
Ye Nanxiao sat down on the sofa, slowly brewed two cups of tea, and handed one to Feng Shiyi.
Feng Shiyi took the teacup, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes—disappointment in herself.
The hunter organization of the Oto Chamber of Commerce has been established for quite some time, and it has recruited many people to become hunters in Oto. However, in terms of cultivating loyal followers, the progress is not very optimistic.
However, the elders of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, Scorpion Tiger Douluo and Crow Douluo, became the ones with relatively high loyalty.
Ye Nanxiao noticed that the girl was blaming herself and smiled, "There's no need to blame yourself, it's not a serious matter."
Upon hearing this, Feng Shiyi glared at Ye Nanxiao. This fox was a bastard, always thinking of risking his life for her.
Faced with his secretary's glaring attack, Ye Nanxiao just smiled and didn't say anything.
There are some things that only he is suited to do, such as finding clones to act as suicide infantrymen and carry out precision strikes.
"Boss, is there some plan you haven't told me?" Feng Shiyi asked bluntly when she saw Ye Nanxiao pretending to be silent.
"No, don't overthink it." Ye Nanxiao immediately made his escape.
Deep within the Demon Forest, at Ye Xishui's rocky base.
"Bang!"
A faint explosion was heard, followed by a plume of black smoke.
Ye Xishui, who was observing the operation of the soul tool on the stone platform, turned her head helplessly upon hearing the sound.
"Xiaoyao, did you forget to add oil again?"
His voice was calm, without the slightest sign of agitation.
This is actually Ye Xishui?
In another room that had been carved out, Long Xiaoyao emerged covered in soot, carrying a large pot that was emitting black smoke.
"Oops! The heat was a little too high this time! But at least it's an improvement, right?" Long Xiaoyao said, wiping the soot off his face.
Inside the large pot was a charred fish, half of which was completely blackened and unrecognizable.
Looking at the fish that was half charred, Long Xiaoyao scratched his head in frustration. He had followed the recipe given to him by his grand-disciple this time, so why had he still failed?
The recipe given by the grand-disciple must be the problem!
Would a dignified Dragon God Douluo be unable to cook a dish?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Looking at Long Xiaoyao's face, which was covered in grime and black spots, Ye Xishui felt a warm current flow through her heart and reached out to wipe the grime off his face.
Long Xiaoyao's face showed resentment, just like that stubborn, inexperienced young man back then.
Ye Xishui didn't use her soul power, but slowly wiped the dust off Long Xiaoyao.
Her gaze softened, and her heart grew ever more tender.
The stubborn guy said he wanted to experience life like an ordinary couple, living a simple, down-to-earth life.
So this guy went to cook, unaware that he had absolutely no idea how to cook.
Long Xiaoyao has blown up the kitchen countless times in his efforts to learn how to cook.
Fortunately, only Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao were at this base.
The latest novel is first published here!
Otherwise, if it were any other members of the Holy Spirit Cult here, seeing Ye Xishui so peaceful and gentle, they would probably feel as if they had fallen into some kind of illusion, experiencing a virtual world.
Even if the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult were to come, he would feel as if he had been tricked and trapped in an illusion.
The Death God Douluo, who is unpredictable and absolutely will not allow anyone to disturb her experiments, also has such a gentle side?
Besides, she was never gentle with her own son.
Long Xiaoyao was initially annoyed that the fish he had just caught were gone again, but when he saw Ye Xishui's gentle gaze, he was momentarily captivated.
Once upon a time, when the three of them were all powerful figures on the mainland, he was fortunate enough to have Ye Xishui's gaze.
However, a subsequent misunderstanding plunged all three of them into endless regret.
"Xi Shui..." Long Xiaoyao called out softly.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xishui smiled slightly, her eyes no longer dull and lifeless, but filled with tenderness.
Long Xiaoyao couldn't hold back any longer, so he put his arm around Ye Xishui and leaned down to look down.
Ye Xishui had been waiting there for a while, and as soon as she saw Long Xiaoyao make a move, she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.
At that moment, she felt that time should stop.
Two dormant hearts seemed to have rediscovered the days when he was full of vigor and she was breathtakingly beautiful.
After the kiss, Long Xiaoyao, in a playful mood, smeared some ash on Ye Xishui's pretty face and then ran away.
Ye Xishui paused for a moment, then reached out and touched her face, noticing a speck of ash on her fingertips.
Her exquisitely beautiful face was smudged with soot from the edge of the pot, making her look like a celestial being who had fallen to earth after being touched by the dust of the world.
That touch of gray belonged to Long Xiaoyao.
Ye Xishui's lips curled into a beautiful smile, and a sense of joy and happiness began to well up inside her.
She took off chasing after the mischievous old man, without using her soul power, simply using her legs to chase after her husband.
"Long Xiaoyao! You stop right there!"
"If you're so capable of smearing dirt, then don't run away!"
"Gotcha! I'll smear your face with ash!"
Long Xiaoyao was just trying to make Ye Xishui happy, but of course he couldn't outrun her. He was caught after only two steps and had Ye Xishui grope his face.
"You're wrong, you're wrong! It's your loss if my handsome face gets ruined!"
"Hmph! I don't care, handsome or ugly, they're all mine!"
Looking at Ye Xishui, who was as lively as a young girl, Long Xiaoyao felt that all his efforts during this period had been worthwhile.
Xi Shui should look like a young girl like this. I, an old man, will protect this smile at all costs.
After playing around for a while, the two lay down on the stall as if they were tired.
Ye Xishui played with Long Xiaoyao's large hand and asked, "Xiaoyao, is cooking difficult? I'd like to cook for you too."
"Haha, it shouldn't be too difficult, right? I'll eat anything you make!"
"Where did you learn to be so cheesy!"
Long Xiaoyao eventually cleaned up the kitchen and cooked a meal in a proper manner.
After finishing his meal, Long Xiaoyao washed the dishes, wiped the table, and casually picked up a shopping basket. "I'll go see what good dishes we have! I'll cook a nice meal tonight!"
Ye Xishui, her eyes as clear as water, sat by the stone window, quietly waiting for Long Xiaoyao to return.
Long Xiaoyao walked out of the forest along the path, glanced back at the stone house, waved, then turned around, his eyes filled with a determined light.
"Moun, let's do it!"
