evening.

Inside Ye Fan's villa, his driver, Xiao Bai, rushed over to deliver the message.

"The strategist Qi Linglong has been abducted by Wei Tianci."

Ye Fan was wide awake and hurriedly asked for details.

Xiao Bai reported everything in great detail, and Wei Tianci was parachuted into Longteng Group.

He had a secret chat with Qi Linglong in her office, and finally lured her away with half a mysterious parchment scroll.

The two left together, seemingly on some important treasure hunt mission.

According to well-informed sources, they apparently went to a tropical rainforest in the remote suburbs.

Ye Fan's face immediately turned ugly: "That bastard Wei Tianci, he's trying to poach my girlfriend?"

Xiao Bai was taken aback; the boss's words were rather naive.

Competition among industry leaders is a free-for-all, with everyone displaying their unique abilities.

Boss, didn't you also bribe Wei Tianci's people several times?

However, he dared not say those words aloud.

Xiao Bai chimed in, "Yes, boss, you're the head of the Dragon Emperor Palace, and the strategist is the second-in-command."

"You two are a perfect match; only by joining forces can you grow bigger and stronger."

"Wei Tianci went too far this time."

Ye Fan's face turned ashen as he said, "You have no idea what happened."

"Qi Linglong has half a treasure map, which is said to point to extremely high-level cultivation resources."

"She has always wanted to make progress and achieve something in her cultivation, so she has been tirelessly searching for the other half of the map."

"Now it seems that the other half of the treasure map is actually on Wei Tianci. What a coincidence."

Ye Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "We absolutely cannot let them succeed in finding the treasure."

"If Qi Linglong obtains the legendary opportunity, she will definitely be grateful to Wei Tianci, which will be detrimental to me."

"Furthermore, after her strength increases by leaps and bounds, she will become even more powerful in the Dragon Emperor Palace, which is also a threat."

"At least until she becomes my woman, this situation must not be allowed to happen."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ye Fan's eyes: "Come with me to prepare. We're going into the rainforest too. We must find a way to kill Wei Tianci. We can't delay any longer."

Xiao Bai was taken aback: "So urgent?"

He asked doubtfully, "Boss, once Empress Leng makes her move, Wei Tianci will naturally be finished. There shouldn't be any cause for concern, right?"

Ye Fan gave him an angry look: "What do you know? A lone man and a lone woman in the deep mountains and forests, it's too easy for things to go wrong, understand?"

Xiao Bai suddenly understood and immediately followed the boss as he hurriedly left.

This is not an isolated incident.

At the same time, in the tropical rainforest.

Qi Linglong's face also showed regret, realizing that she had acted impulsively.

How did I end up following Wei Tianci so unwittingly into this mess?

Here, no one answers to your pleas.

If Wei Tianci harbors evil intentions, she will be played to death and won't even have a grave to cry to.

Qi Linglong simply did not believe that Wei Tianci would be so kind as to rush to give her a gift.

So Qi Linglong gradually slowed down her pace, walking cautiously behind Wei Tianci, feeling a little safer that way.

However, as their relationship deepened, Qi Linglong became increasingly confused, realizing that she might be overthinking things.

Because Wei Tianci behaved perfectly normally in the rainforest, he led the way with a serious expression and without complaint, carrying the heavy load.

Qi Linglong carried only a small backpack containing food and water for the two of them.

Especially after she accidentally dropped her backpack into a deep pit at the bottom of the canyon.

Wei Tianci didn't complain at all, and even after setting up camp that night...

He actually left alone and brought back a lot of wild game to fill the two people's stomachs.

After they sat down around the campfire, Wei Tianci smiled slightly: "People know about delicacies from land and sea, but when it comes to eating and drinking, they always talk about things from the sea. In fact, compared to seafood, delicacies from land are even better!"

"You're in for a treat today."

He then set out pots and pans, and put the colorful plants and animals into the boiling pot to simmer.

Out of curiosity, Qi Linglong picked up a wild mushroom and prepared to try it.

Upon seeing this, Wei Tianci knocked her chopsticks back into the pot.

"The food in the mountains is good, but you can't just eat it casually. Be careful of poisoning, it's a lot of trouble."

As he spoke, he picked up the wild mushroom and began to eat it.

After tasting it, he nodded slightly: "This wild mushroom is not poisonous, you can eat it."

Qi Linglong is now a precious darling.

If he were to die from eating the wrong things, Wei Tianci's plan to acquire a thousand top-grade spirit stones would be a pipe dream.

Therefore, he attached great importance to Qi Linglong's personal safety.

Wei Tianci then said, "Tell me what else you want to eat, and I'll taste it to see if it's poisonous before you eat it."

His constitution is naturally immune to all poisons.

Qi Linglong was stunned when she heard this, then her eyes lit up. Could this guy be playing the victim?

Is this some kind of tactic used by playboys to win over girls?

She immediately distanced herself from him, saying no, and that she would eat whatever she liked herself.

Unexpectedly, Wei Tianci was very persistent and determined to become Qi Linglong's poison-testing ambassador.

The meal left Qi Linglong bewildered and questioning the meaning of life.

What kind of tricks is Wei Tianci playing?

She then looked thoughtfully at the only tent beside the two of them, and her gaze suddenly sharpened.

'Is this guy perhaps playing the long game?'

A cold glint flashed in Qi Linglong's eyes.

If Wei Tianci were to invite her to share a tent later, she would rather die than comply!

Although Qi Linglong had never been in a relationship, she had heard about it.

When a man wants to win over a woman.

That was when he was most diligent and enthusiastic; isn't that exactly Wei Tianci right now?

'Hmph, all men are the same.'

Qi Linglong immediately put down her chopsticks and said calmly, "Wei Tianci, there's only one tent. Where will you sleep?"

Wei Tianci casually said, "You sleep in the tent, I won't."

Qi Linglong was surprised again: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

She never expected Wei Tianci to make such an arrangement.

Wei Tianci nodded: "I studied the treasure map all night."

He found himself deeply involved, his mind a jumbled mess that needed sorting out.

Qi Linglong nodded with some doubt.

In the blink of an eye, it's the dead of night.

Qi Linglong woke up after sleeping fully clothed in the tent, unable to sleep all night.

Through the crack, she discovered that Wei Tianci was indeed leaning against a large tree in the moonlight.

He was looking intently at the two treasure maps in his hands, sometimes pondering, sometimes frowning, and sometimes lost in thought.

Qi Linglong frowned slightly as she looked at Wei Tianci's sharply defined profile.

She felt she knew too little about this man, and that she had underestimated and underestimated him.

Qi Linglong then felt the urge to urinate.

She quietly left the tent, walked lightly to a patch of grass, and quietly took off her pants and squatted down.

Suddenly, a king cobra lunged forward and bit down on her little white buttocks.

Qi Linglong screamed in surprise and then collapsed.

Wei Tianci, who was listening from a distance, was startled and activated his Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to rush over.
