Chapter 339 Seducing the Big Villain to Make Him Recognize You

Xiao Tang wasn't sure if it was because she mentioned Du Juan that the man was unhappy.

His face darkened rapidly.

In addition, the dim light made it even harder for Xiao Tang to see the old man's expression clearly.

The woman in the pool slowly approached them, the chains clanging and echoing in the enclosed space.

After a long silence, Xiao Yichen's extremely deep voice rang out, echoing with displeasure: "What do you mean by that? Du Juan is in Western Qin?"

There was no denial, no feigned ignorance; the question was simply about the whereabouts of the cuckoo.

Xiao Tang began to have some doubts about this guy.

He looked him up and down.

It's a pity we can't see his real appearance.

However, I have also seen his portrait.

My guess was not much different from what I had imagined.

"General Xiao, I really wandered in by mistake, I am just..."

Suddenly, the man lit the tinderbox in his hand, and the dim light instantly illuminated the entire warehouse.

As the light came on, Xiao Tang could finally see the deep green pool, which seemed to be bubbling with steam.

The woman lay by the pool, gazing longingly at Xiao Yichen.

Those beautiful eyes, whether reflected in the deep green pool or naturally so, had pupils that appeared azure blue.

The woman stared at the man intently, "Your fiancée has followed you all the way here."

When these words were spoken, even Xiao Tang, who didn't understand, could sense the bitterness in them.

It tastes sour.

Xiao Yichen stepped to the edge of the pool, squatted down, and grasped the woman's chin.

"What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"No, why would anyone be jealous?"

As an observer, Xiao Tang suddenly felt like a third wheel, and the biggest one at that.

She had reason to suspect that Du Juan herself had misunderstood.

This man probably doesn't want to marry Du Juan either.

The man pinched the woman's chin in the pool, then stood up, his gaze towards Xiao Tang extremely sharp.

He sneered, "No matter what Du Juan wants to do, since you recognize this general, do you think this general will still let you live?"

The threatening tone, as if to kill someone and silence them, did not frighten Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang still had a slight smile on her lips.

The light from the tinderbox shone on the man's angular face, making his features clearly visible.

She does resemble Xiao Yiran somewhat.

However, Xiao Yiran's handsome features had a touch of effeminacy.

The man before me had sharp, angular features, like a sword about to be drawn from its sheath.

Every feature of his face is a strong, defined line.

Such a man truly possesses the demeanor of a great general, making him far more likely to intimidate the enemy than Yang Defu.

Yang Defu looks too innocent and delicate.

Seeing that she could still laugh, Xiao Yichen frowned and asked unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

"General, you're raising poisoners, are you trying to detoxify someone? I see you don't have any illness or poison on you, so it must be for your family?"

"If you'd like, I can help you."

"Besides, Dujuan came to find you only to break off the engagement. Since you don't like each other, there's no need to delay each other."

After Xiao Tang finished speaking, he glanced at the woman in the pool out of the corner of his eye.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, but her face was pale and she looked so fragile that she seemed like she could be crushed at the slightest touch.

Even so, she could still smile as she lay by the pool.

That smile, it was a smile that could break your heart.

She may be beautiful, but she's just a tool.

The system's beeping continued to echo.

Xiao Yichen sneered: "Why should I believe you? If you really have that ability..."

Thinking of this, he glanced at Xiao Tang.

"Tomorrow, the General will meet with two important guests. If you can diagnose their illnesses, then I will trust you."

Xiao Tang pouted.

"Alright then, may I stay here and keep this beautiful lady company?"

Xiao Yichen glared at her, "Get back to your warehouse!"

That's so fierce.

Xiao Tang shook her head, genuinely thinking that this guy might not be very bright.

She left.

Before leaving, she glanced back at the beauty in the pool.

Poor girl.

Soaking in the medicinal pool like this, it's unlikely that his lifespan will be extended anytime soon.

The electric shocks only disappeared after I got away from the warehouse.

Because the electric shock punishment wasn't strong enough, she could almost ignore it.

[Damn system, it seems your little electric shock punishment won't do me any good.]

[Host, the system has detected that the girl is beyond medical help, therefore, the system will not impose a severe punishment.]

【hehe……】

He's really something.

They did not impose a severe punishment.

Come to think of it, this huge Xinu Market was actually opened by Xiao Yichen.

With Xiao Yichen siphoning the money of a wealthy young man from the Western Qin Kingdom and pledging allegiance to the Emperor of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, it's no wonder the Xiao family of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom holds such a powerful position.

Then think about the Xiao family of the Great Sheng Dynasty, they are simply...

She must ask Yan Shi to investigate whether the two Xiao families have any connection when she gets back.

The next day.

The warehouse door was slammed open.

Two burly men entered the warehouse and shouted, "Get up! Get up, both of you!"

"Take away those dancers from last time and go prepare. Also, you, come with us."

The burly man pointed his long whip at Xiao Tang.

This was requested by the boss, after all.

They naturally dared not neglect their duties.

Xiao Tang got up and followed the burly man to the pavilion outside the Xinu Market.

That pavilion was the most luxurious and expensive restaurant in the Western Qin Kingdom, and from the second floor upwards, you could see the bustling scene of the Western Slave Market just by standing by the window.
