Xiao Zhi locked his eyes on Zhou Yi, feeling that his aura made him uncomfortable. He glanced at Chen Yin and asked, "Where did you get it from?"

Always bringing people home, what are your hobbies?

Chen Yin glanced at him sideways and turned to Zhou Yi without paying any attention, pouring him a glass of water personally.

He was stunned, then quickly took it, his ears slightly red, and said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chen Yin casually pointed to a seat for him and asked him to sit: "Don't be so reserved, there are no such rules. This time, thanks to you. To be honest, I was a little worried that you would betray me at the last minute."

Zhou Yi chuckled, "Your Highness is clear about gratitude and resentment, and I am sincerely convinced."

Xiao Zhi felt a chill, glanced at him coldly, and frowned in disgust.

The sun is bright and warm, pouring in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Chen Yin looked straight ahead, "What are your plans next?"

This question successfully stumped him. Zhou Yi's eyes wandered as he recalled the days he had spent in the palace. He was trembling with fear, with his superiors and subordinates bullying him in front of him and Shen Qiangwei and Ji Mingxuan eyeing him covetously behind him. But even so, compared to the life as a hostage under the sea, it was actually good.

Zhou Yi's Adam's apple rolled, and he forced a smile and said, "I want to stay and be His Highness's guard!"

He knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you for not abandoning me, Your Highness. I am willing to die for you!"

The young man's eyes were firm, neither humble nor arrogant, he looked directly at Chen Yin, the determination in his eyes was moving.

Even Xiao Zhi couldn't help but look over, inwardly marveling. Young children are easily deceived by females. They have only known each other for a short time, but she is already ready to die. Chen Yin is an interesting female, and she is quite capable of winning people's hearts.

Chen Yin was a little surprised. She paused, her eyes moving and her gaze fell on Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi suddenly felt a chill down his spine and frowned, "Why are you looking at me?"

"This guard is the prince of the underwater mermaid tribe. His father has been imprisoned for many years, and he has been controlled and used as a tool. I promised him that after I finish the matter with Shen Qiangwei, I will help him rescue his father. But now the Queen Mother is furious, so I can't speak."

Chen Yin said bluntly, "I'm not a good swimmer. My physique is different from yours, so I can't live on the seabed for long. And I can't use my strength."

After listening to this, Xiao Zhi said in a deep voice: "You want me to help you?"

As if hearing a huge joke, Xiao Zhi laughed angrily, "Chen Yin, I promised to be your bodyguard, not your thug, and I also brought outsiders. Although my tribe is stronger than the mermaids, a war between the two tribes would bring heavy losses to my tribe. Forcing the mermaid leader to hand over the beast husband is like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth, a great humiliation. With a C-level potion formula, and a year later, Chen Yin, don't dream."

Xiao Zhi sneered, with an expression that said, "Little girl, don't treat me like a fool," and his eyes were full of contempt.

Zhou Yi frowned and gritted his teeth, "Your Highness, if he doesn't agree, we can look for another opportunity later, but we don't have to do it right now."

Although he was eager to save his father, he didn't want to implicate Chen Yin, so he could find another way.

According to the plan, Xue Mei and Shen Qiangwei, mother and daughter, would have to spend their lives in jail, but Xue Mei unexpectedly took the risk and exchanged one for one.

The empress was furious. If the matter of the underwater mermaids was mentioned now, she would most likely turn hostile and would most likely vent her anger on Shen Yin. It was not advisable to rush into danger.

Chen Yin gave Zhou Yi a soothing look and said, "Sit down."

After that, he turned to look at the unruly Xiao Zhi again, "If you rescue Zhou Yi's father, within a year, I will give you the formula for the C-level potion on the spot!"

Chen Yin smiled, "Zhou Yi's father has no connections and is not highly valued in the Mermaid Tribe. With your clan leader Xiao's SSS-level mental power, this should be easy for him to accomplish."

Xiao Zhi's expression froze as he spoke, slightly surprised. He narrowed his eyes, "The risk is too great. You give me a recipe, and then ask me to fight an entire tribe. Why should I go? Isn't it better to just lie back and wait for a year?"

Chen Yin didn't care. "I'll have Huo Xun and Quan Yue cooperate with you. They'll provide arms support. You can figure out how to do it. If you can't negotiate to rescue Zhou Yi's father with this kind of firepower support, then you're a good-for-nothing. I can't help you. The C-level potion is like giving it to you for free. You can do a lot of things with the six months you save instead of being my bodyguard."

These words made sense. Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows, his mind clear as a mirror. Chen Yin was sure of him.

Xiao Zhi laughed out of anger. He had lived for hundreds of years, but was controlled by a little girl.

"That's not enough! I also want the formula for the B-level potion!"

Chen Yin fell onto the sofa and said, "Forget it, I'll let Quan Yue do it."

Quan Yue is an old hand at this kind of thing, but Xiao Zhi has the home advantage, so he just doesn't want to do it.

"Zhou Yi, go back and rest first. I'll keep you informed if there's any news about your father. I'll contact Quan Yue immediately and won't let Ji Mingxuan hurt him."

Zhou Yi also knew how troublesome this matter was. Seeing that the C-level potion formula was given without blinking an eye in order to rescue his father, he felt a bittersweet gratitude in his heart. Looking at Chen Yin, he nodded solemnly, "I trust Your Highness's character. I thank Your Highness on behalf of my father."

Chen Yin smiled and nodded, watched him leave, and got up to go upstairs.

"etc!"

Xiao Zhi watched coldly, holding the teacup, and spoke before Shen Yin stepped into the elevator.

Chen Yin turned around: "What's wrong?"

He gritted his teeth, a dark light flashed in his eyes. The little girl was full of evil intentions.

"Stop pretending. You've already figured me out. What else is there to say? I'll contact Quan Yue and work together to handle this matter. I'll make sure the person is completely in your hands."

Xiao Zhi was very unhappy, but he had to take the bait. "But you have to promise to give me the formula for the C-level potion. You can't regret it!"

Chen Yin nodded. "Okay, it's your own wish. I didn't force you. Although I, Chen Yin, can be shameless sometimes, I always keep my word. I'll deliver on my promise. Rain or shine, the palace will wait for you!"

Pointing at Xiao Zhi's nose, Chen Yin chuckled, walked into the elevator and disappeared.

Xiao Zhi crushed the teacup in his hand, his eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth secretly.

A cunning girl.

Without delay, Xiao Zhi left.

…

Late at night, Shen Qiangwei sat alone in front of the French window of the large flat, distraught, pale, trembling all over, and extremely angry.

He slammed the bottle open and flew into a rage: "Bitch Chen Yin, you've put me in this situation. I'll fight her to the death!"

The six beastly husbands had complicated expressions. They had lost their homes and could only live in properties under Su Linye's name, ranging from luxurious manors to large flats. Shen Qiangwei's assets were frozen and she was penniless. Xue Mei's property was confiscated and she was abandoned by her relatives and friends. No one even attended her funeral after her death.

Ji Mingxuan's expression was gloomy. "I've already sent a message to the clan, asking them to deal with Ling Shuang. Ji Chengxi has suddenly turned against us, and I will make him pay with blood!"

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. Shen Qiangwei, who was in a rage, had no intention of paying attention to him. When she heard his voice, she instantly stood up and slapped him: "What an idiot! You're hurting others and yourself. I might as well throw 4.1 billion into the water to hear the sound. Instead of buying a scumbag like you!"
