Chapter 74 There is no kindness
Que Shiwen chuckled, his expression natural, "Of course we're at home. Xiaoxi, you've been in a bad mood these past few days, how could we possibly run out and cause trouble?"
Que Shiwen and Hu Xi also knew that Sang Tian's memory had been extracted.
Hu Xi frowned and pretended to be calm while agreeing with Que Shiwen's words.
"Xiao Xi, you wait at home. Shiwen and I will go out to see what's going on." Hu Xi reacted quickly. He left Shen Jinxi at home and asked Que Shiwen to follow him out.
Que Shiwen asked, "What's going on?"
"The orcs from the black market surrounded our house."
"The black market will definitely not let this go after encountering such a huge problem. Xingduan has already proven Sang Tian's innocence, so they will definitely not let up on finding the real culprit. Zuo Ya just posted some negative comments about Xiao Xi on the cloud a few days ago, so it's normal for her to suspect us. Don't panic."
After listening to Que Shiwen's words, Hu Xi felt that it made sense.
What the two men didn't expect was that the orcs from the black market would be guarding nearby so openly, not even bothering to hide. More than a dozen pairs of eyes with different pupils were staring at them closely.
"The worst ones are at level B. We are no match for them. Let's go back first." Que Shiwen felt a murderous intent. The orcs around him were not easy to mess with.
After returning to the house, Que Shiwen relayed what he had just said to Hu Xi to Shen Jinxi, and told her to reveal it when it was safe.
Shen Jinxi nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but the feeling of being watched made her very uncomfortable.
While she was distracted, a message popped up on the cloud.
[He Zi invites you to join the Valerian trading group]
Seeing the profile picture that had been gray for a long time become bright again, Shen Jinxi's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but get nervous. She looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention before she dared to open the cloud to reply to the message.
[Sister He Zi, why are you online? ]
The group leader of this group is quite interesting. The items he sells start at S-grade and he even sold twenty red desert flowers the day before yesterday. I suspect his ability is most likely wood-related, allowing him to control plants.
Shen Jinxi remembered that Zuo Ya had recommended this group to her before.
[I seem to remember Sister He Zi, one of your abilities seems to be a wood-related ability.]
[No, she's more powerful than me. The soil on the continent is now completely polluted, so my abilities are useless.]
Jin Xi never thought that a small herbal medicine selling group leader could make He Zi, who had retired from the mainland for a long time, appear. She didn't understand what was so special about her.
Soon, He Zi sent another message, [Her wood-type ability may include purification.]
Seeing the word "purification", Shen Jinxi felt like she was electrocuted and couldn't sit still.
"By the way, I heard about you and Sang Tian exchanging husbands. You don't like her, so why are you helping her out?"
Shen Jinxi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, [She doesn't like it, but after all, she grew up with me, so I feel a little bit sorry for her.]
"Chen Jinxi, can someone like you still be kind? I thought our kindness died the day we destroyed her supernatural powers. Compared to you, I'm still too vicious. No wonder I was banished to the Desert Continent."
Shen Jinxi's face turned pale, and she quickly deleted the cloud message and logged off in a hurry, not daring to reply to He Zi.
Her hands were shaking, and she regretted that she shouldn't have replied to He Zi. This woman was a lunatic, and no one who got involved with her could get rid of her.

A week after the incident, Sang Tian woke up from his nap and went downstairs to find that no one was home.
She opened the refrigerator and took out the ice cream. Just as she opened the package, Wu Lanyuan pushed the door open and their eyes met.
"Where are the others? Why are you home alone?"
Wu Lanyuan shook his head, "I don't know."
"Are you going out too?" Sang Tian noticed that Wu Lanyuan was not wearing home clothes, so it was obvious that he was going out too.
"Don't go out now." Wu Lanyuan didn't know that the others had gone out. Now that he knew, he was ready to stay and protect Sang Tian's safety.
It's time for Bi Jingyan to go out to buy groceries, Bao Zeming is a person who can't sit still, so what about the other three?
Sang Tian took another ice cream from the refrigerator and walked over to Wu Lanyuan. She extended her hand and asked, "Did something happen that I don't know about?"
Wu Lanyuan lowered his eyes and took the ice cream after hesitating for a moment. The ice cream exuded coolness through the thin wrapping paper.
“There’s a trade fair today, I’m not sure if they’re going to the trade fair.”
He was going to the trade fair anyway.
Hearing about the trade fair, Sang Tian instantly became interested and quickly swallowed the ice cream in her mouth. "What is this for? I want to go too."
"It's similar to a market, five times the size, but it's not safe over there. I'm worried that people from the black market might follow us there."
Wu Lanyuan refused Sang Tian's request, worried that he would not be able to protect her in a crowded place.
"It's okay. It's been a week. I'll take the Flame Bow with me." Sang Tian thought for a moment and reached out to hold Wu Lanyuan's hand. "We can't get separated like this."
The man's expression changed slightly. Beneath his calm exterior, his heartbeat quickened, and the red tips of his ears betrayed his inner feelings.
The sound of her heartbeat drowned out the sound of her voice. All he could see was her lips stained with ice cream moving in and out. Wu Lanyuan didn't hear a word she said.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sang Tian took it as her agreement and let go of him. "Then it's settled. I'll go upstairs and change my clothes. You eat your ice cream and then we'll go out."
"There is ice cream at the corner of your mouth." Wu Lanyuan clasped her wrist with his big hand and pointed at the corner of her lips with his eyes.
She was eating chocolate ice cream, and there was a brown stain on the corner of her lips.
"Okay, then let me go first?" She still held the ice cream in her other hand.
Wu Lanyuan immediately let her go.
Sang Tian licked the corner of her lips with her tongue. Her action was playful and cute. Sure enough, she tasted the flavor of chocolate at the corner of her lips. Fortunately, Wu Lanyuan reminded her.
Wu Lanyuan's eyes gradually became hotter and hotter as he looked at her.
"If you don't want to eat the ice cream, put it in the refrigerator first. It should have melted a little by now." The temperature was high now, and the air conditioner was not turned on because no one was in the living room. Sang Tian's attention was focused on the ice cream in his palm.
"Okay." Wu Lanyuan withdrew his gaze.
Sang Tian went upstairs to change clothes. Wu Lanyuan was sitting on the sofa waiting for her. When he saw her come downstairs, he stood up.
This time at the trade fair, Sang Tian didn't plan to sell anything. She just went there to take a look, hoping to find some good stuff.
After arriving at the trading market, Sang Tian got off the car and saw the crowded trading market. This was the first time she saw so many orcs and females in the Beast World Continent. There were at least thousands of them, and the scale was so large that it was endless.
Sang Tian was still watching when suddenly a hand wrapped around hers, clasping their fingers tightly.
She turned to look at Wu Lanyuan, her bright eyes flashing with surprise. Was the weather too hot to melt the iceberg?
"Didn't you say that if you hold my hand like this, I won't get lost?" Wu Lanyuan noticed her gaze and explained calmly.
Sang Tian nodded, that was correct.
"Let's go and see if there's anything you like."
Sang Tianhui held his hand, feeling elated and her steps became lighter.
A black car pulled up next to Sang Tian's car. The driver picked up the intercom and said, "Sang Tian has entered the market. Everyone, be alert. She's accompanied by an S-class black tiger. It's extremely powerful. Don't confront it head-on."
