Chapter 265: Sharp Tongue, Soft Heart
Over there, Lin Xiang'er, who felt like she had escaped death, was so frightened that her legs went limp. If she hadn't been surrounded by a group of gigolos, she would have probably fallen to the ground.
As for the pretty boy who had dared to point at Wu Xingyu just now, he had now collapsed to the ground, limp like a puddle of mud. He was even less courageous than Lin Xiang'er.
However, after hearing Yun Qimu's words, a gleam of light flashed across Hong Mei's beautiful eyes.
It seems that her previous plan was not completely in vain. At least Miss Yun seemed to have some good intentions towards her.
No matter why Yun Qimu expressed his kindness, Hong Mei did not intend to miss this opportunity.
Thinking of this, she took the initiative to walk out and call out to Yun Qimu.
When Yun Qimu turned around, she generously and clearly provided the specific location of Lin Qiu's treasure house and the correct way to turn on the switch.
All these years of her management of Blood Devouring were not in vain. Naturally, she knew that Lin Qiu had built a hidden dark room and had mastered all the switches. However, she did not know what was inside, and she did not dare to send anyone in to investigate, for fear that Lin Qiu would become suspicious and her plan to replace him and take the position would fail.
She originally thought that it would not be too late to go in and find out after she succeeded, but now that Yun Qimu already knew about it, the treasure hiding place would naturally not fall into her hands. It would be better for her to tell her what she knew and do her a favor.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, the smile on Yun Qimu's face became more genuine, and he asked caringly, "Sister Hong Mei, what do you think of Xue Shi?"
Hong Mei didn't act pretentiously. She tucked her curly hair behind her ear with her fingers and raised her red lips with a domineering smile. "To be honest, I have wanted to kill Lin Qiu and take the throne for many years. This is a rare opportunity. I wonder if Miss Yun will let me do what I want?"
Yun Qimu also smiled brightly, "Hahaha, Sister Hongmei, that's a good idea. You are so capable, but it's really a waste of your talent to be inferior to a man like Lin Qiu. Since Sister Hongmei wants to be the master of the house and bring honor to us women, I will naturally not stop her."
Hong Mei felt relieved and the smile on her face became even more intense.
He even offered an olive branch in return. "I wonder if Miss Yun is still short of slaves. There are a large number of Blood Devourers, and there are two teams hunting outside. After I finish cleaning up the Blood Devourers, I'm afraid there will be many more who will refuse to obey and need to be dealt with. I want to send them to Miss Yun's Global Village as slaves, and spare their lives. How about that?"
Yun Qimu's eyes sparkled, and he nodded with a very satisfied smile, "Of course, our Global Village welcomes all slaves sent to us. Since Sister Hong Mei and I have such a good understanding, I believe that our Global Village and Xue Shi will also have a good cooperative relationship in the future."
Hong Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she felt even more surprised.
It would be great to establish a relationship with Global Village and become a long-term partner. In the future, she won't have to worry about Xue Shi not being able to survive without Lin Qiu's supply channel.
So she smiled repeatedly and said, "It's our honor to cooperate with Xueshi. And Xiang'er, I will also keep a close eye on this girl and let her work hard to strive for promotion and strengthen our cooperative relationship with Global Village."
Yun Qimu and Hong Mei looked at each other, their eyes curved with smiles, and they said it was comfortable to talk to smart people.
So after the two women reached a tacit agreement, one of them took Wu Xingyu and Duluk, Liu Shaoqi and Branno, who had to follow, to find the treasure house.
Yuan'an, Yunhe and the people from Molan City were left behind to help Hong Mei. Even the restless Pei Yu did not clamor to see the treasure house. Anyway, the things in it were nothing more than energy coins and nutrient solutions, and he would not get any of them. It would be more interesting to stay and watch the interaction between Lin Xiang'er and the gigolos.
Yun Ting took the initiative to stay and chat with his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for several days, and to lend a hand.
Yun Qimu and the others came to Lin Qiu's private room as Hong Mei said. They turned the pen holder and sure enough, a secret door appeared after the wall rumbled.
Yun Qimu's eyes lit up, "Let's go in and take a look."
Wu Xingyu nodded, "Yes."
Then the two of them walked into the door side by side, and at a glance they saw boxes of nutrient solution piled up in this huge dark room, including intermediate, advanced, and top-level ones.
Considering the situation on the Exile Star, Lin Qiu is ridiculously wealthy.
However, in the eyes of Yun Qimu and Wu Xingyu, these things are really useless and are not even as good as a piece of meat. They can be sold directly in exchange for some energy coins as before.
Branno walked to the freezer, fished out an apple, took a bite, and said with a smile, "This blood-devouring guy named Lin Qiu is quite well-connected. These fruits are quite fresh. We tried to get some in the elven land of Ciceri before, but it wasn't that easy."
He took another bite and found it tasted pretty good. Then he casually picked up two and threw them to Du Luke and Liu Shaoqi, then turned around and asked Yun Qimu and Wu Xingyu if they wanted some.
Yun Qimu shook his head and refused with a smile, "No thanks."
Branno didn't expect that there would be a woman who could refuse the fruits of the elves, but when he thought of the information he had inquired about the merchants Miss Yun and Mr. Wu in Chaos City before, he knew that they could sell fruits themselves, so he thought that Yun Qimu had some special source of fruits. He didn't say anything else, but called Duluk and Liu Shaoqi to come over and pick together.
They looked so happy and like country bumpkins that Wu Xingyu felt it was too embarrassing. He frowned and raised his hand to throw a "hidden weapon" as big as his head at them.
"What the hell?"
Branno was startled, but fortunately he reacted quickly and turned around urgently, and then the "hidden weapon" fell into his arms.
He looked down, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stammered, "Peach, peach? A peach bigger than my head, is it mutated?"
Even the conscientious and serious Druk and the cold and grim Liu Shaoqi looked over curiously, and then revealed surprised expressions.
Wu Xingyu snorted, his dark eyes swept over them, and he said in a proud voice, "Eat now. Don't look like you've never seen the world. It's embarrassing."
"Is it edible?" Branno immediately smiled and was not angry at Wu Xingyu's tone. He was used to it anyway. Their Third Prince had a sharp tongue but a soft heart and treated his subordinates very well.
So he found a box, cleaned it, put the big peaches in it, and invited Du Luke and Liu Shaoqi to eat together.
Wu Xingyu raised his chin to the two people who were still following him and ordered, "You go too. There's no danger here."
"yes."
Only then did Duluk and Liu Shaoqi put down their guard work and walked towards Branno.
