Chapter 3: The Art of Controlling Subordinates and the Conflict over Favored Pets
After Pingguo Xinshan and Xu Rener returned, they found that there was a very long queue at the yamen. When they noticed Pingguo Xinshan and Xu Rener coming back, or strictly speaking, Xu Rener coming back, their eyes lit up instantly.
Xu Ren'er couldn't help but shiver, and her body's alertness made her subconsciously take two steps back.
Sure enough, not long after she retreated, the originally well-organized team fell apart and all rushed towards Xu Ren'er.
Xu Rener:? !!
Seeing this, Apple Xinshan immediately stood in front of Xu Ren'er, her eyes became particularly sharp. She raised her left hand, and a long, big, peeled apple peel immediately appeared in her hand.
She just waved her hand, and the apple peel instantly wrapped up the group of people opposite her, controlling their movements.
"What are you going to do?!"
Apple Xinshan scolded coldly.
Faced with Apple Xinshan's cold words, the group of people on the opposite side immediately broke out in cold sweats. After a long while, one of them came out tremblingly and explained:
"Apple... Mr. Apple, that... notice... so we... want to claim it..."
Apple Xinshan frowned. What nonsense is this?
"Apple Xinshan, please let them go."
Durian Lifeng slowly walked out of the yamen gate. He was not at all surprised by the scene in front of him.
"This morning, I posted a lost and found notice for the dog next to you. After seeing its portrait, these people all claimed they had lost it and lined up to claim it."
Having said this, Durian Lifeng glanced at Xu Ren'er, then looked at the group of people tied up by Apple Xinshan, and continued:
"Now that the real owner is here, who among you can make it stick to you, I will confirm whose dog it is."
The corner of Apple Xinshan's eye twitched. She glanced at Durian Lifeng, who instantly understood the meaning in her eyes:
Are you serious? She's seen 80% of the people trapped here. If it was one of them, how could she not know?
In response, Durian Lifeng smiled helplessly and returned a look: Of course he knew it, but these were the people he wanted to protect, and he was really embarrassed to just drive them away.
Apple Xinshan pursed her lips and silently took back the apple peel she had thrown away.
"Just do as Master Durian says."
Don’t!!!
Xu Ren'er screamed wildly in his heart, his eyes filled with fear.
Although her memory is not complete now, she still has a vague impression that the people who accompany her are all highly skilled in martial arts, and it is impossible for them to avoid an attack of Apple Xinshan's level.
There is absolutely no one in this group who knows her!!
——
"Hello hello! Come here, Xiaobai! Here are your favorite super peach dog food bars! Zu! Zu! Zu!"
Xu Ren'er stared expressionlessly at the woman in front of him who was about twenty years old and dressed in light pink clothes. As expected, a pink peach pendant was hanging around her waist.
At this moment, she looked cheerful, bent over, with her right hand facing Xu Ren'er, holding a pink bone with a peach-like shape carved on it, trying to use this bone to attract Xu Ren'er.
Xu Ren'er raised his dog paw. The woman thought there was hope and her eyes lit up. Under the woman's sparkling gaze, Xu Ren'er retracted his paw and gently pushed away the back of the woman's hand with his furry paw pad to express his refusal.
I thought this action would make the woman sad. After all, the dozens of men who had been rejected before all showed disappointed expressions.
However, the result was exactly as she expected. Instead of looking sad, the woman had an expression of having gained something and was full of happiness.
What shocked her even more was that when the people queuing in the back row saw it, their faces were instantly filled with envy and determination to win. Even those people in the front row who had just been rejected quickly lined up again.
Xu Rener: ???!
Durian Lifeng shook his head and sighed.
Dogs like Xu Ren'er are rarely seen in the Fruit Kingdom. His fur is fluffy and soft, full of fleshiness, and he has a pair of bright eyes. It is hard to imagine that any fruit lover can resist such a cute creature?
You know, it’s not that there are no pets in the Fruit Kingdom. Unfortunately, in most cases, the pets in the Fruit Kingdom have hard fur or no fur at all, and their paw pads are no different from stones, and some even have no body temperature.
Among those pets, any one with Xu Rener's characteristics would be regarded as a treasure by the people of the Fruit Kingdom, not to mention that Xu Rener has all of them.
Durian Lifeng raised his chin helplessly in the direction of Apple Xinshan. Apple Xinshan nodded and immediately used an apple peel to pull out those who had secretly queued up again.
"Those who have been rejected by it should either leave or I will let you taste my apple whip!"
After saying that, Apple Xinshan took back her apple peel, and the apple peel flew up into the air. Then, in full view of everyone, the two ends of the apple peel rotated in opposite directions, forming a long whip.
Everyone immediately trembled with fear, and the next second, all those who had secretly lined up ran away like frightened birds.
Xu Ren'er pretended to glance at Pingguo Xinshan casually. Although they had only known each other for a short time, she had discovered very early on that Pingguo Xinshan seemed to be particularly intimidating in this town. Xu Ren'er hardly saw anyone who was afraid of her.
Thinking of this, she quietly glanced at Durian Peak again, and a specific guess came to her mind:
One plays the bad guy, the other plays the good guy, using both soft and hard tactics, which is indeed a way to control people.
Sure enough, the next moment, Durian Lifeng quickly stepped forward and persuaded Apple Xinshan in a soft voice, successfully winning the love and recognition of everyone present.
"Hello!"
After the peach girl left, the next person to come was a boy of about fifteen years old. He was arrogant, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and walked in front with an arrogant manner, like a young master from a wealthy family.
He wore an orange pineapple pendant around his waist. He looked down at Xu Ren'er with disdain. He raised his hand, and a pineapple hovered in his hand.
"If you don't agree to come with me, this will be your fate."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pineapple floating in the air suddenly exploded. If Xu Ren'er had not dodged quickly, he would have been splashed.
Where Xu Ren'er dodged, the ground was covered with pineapple juice. The juice corroded the ground, gradually turning it black and emitting white bubbles.
"Good response, suitable to be my new pet."
Seeing this, the young man raised his chin and said arrogantly.
Durian Lifeng's face turned dark on the spot.
Even without Apple Xinshan taking action, the people behind them became instantly angry when they saw the usually kind-hearted Durian Lord's face turn black.
"You little brat, who do you think you are? How dare you talk like that?!"
"I hate arrogant people like you the most. Get out of here!"
"Haha! With that attitude, it's a miracle if he actually owns this dog!"
The boy was furious as he heard the curses coming from his ears.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?!"
After he finished speaking, a bunch of pineapples popped out from behind him, ready to teach all those who accused him a lesson.
Unfortunately, before he could do anything, a middle-aged man with a green grape pendant on his waist suddenly appeared in the crowd.
He attacked directly at lightning speed, and in an instant, all the pineapples on the boy's body fell to the ground like deflated balloons.
"Go away! Considering your young age, I won't bother with you for the fact that you made Lord Durian look unhappy!"
Uncle Qingti looked at him coldly and said.
His thick eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he lifted the boy's collar with his strong arms. Before leaving, he nodded slightly to Durian Lifeng, then quickly took the boy away without leaving any trace.
"As expected of Lord Qingti, he is the epitome of maturity and stability!"
"Lord Qingti is so reliable!"
"No wonder Master Apple and Master Green Grape can become Master Durian's right-hand men. Look at their powerful abilities and their remarkable wisdom. With them around, I feel safe!"
A group of people looked at Qingti Yaoming with starry eyes. Durian Lifeng couldn't help but smile at this.
He was very lucky to have these two reliable subordinates at the same time.
The farce ended here. Xu Ren'er looked at the remaining group of people with gleaming eyes who were still trying to seduce her. She thought for a moment, ran to Pingguo Xinshan, pulled Pingguo Xinshan's trouser legs, and pretended to be scared.
Apple Xinshan raised her eyebrows. For some reason, she felt very happy about Xu Rener's behavior, so she didn't push Xu Rener away and let Xu Rener stay beside her.
After the boy, others still tried to approach and seduce Xu Ren'er, but Xu Ren'er ignored them and just buried his head in Pingguo Xinshan's clothes.
The light fruity scent was particularly pleasant. After smelling it for a long time, Xu Ren inexplicably had the illusion that he had suddenly become healthy and energetic.
Xu Ren'er's attitude of refusing to cooperate completely melted the hearts of the people in the row behind him. They were not the pineapple boy, and they were reluctant to force Xu Ren'er to do something he didn't want to do for the time being.
Staring at the hiding Xu Ren'er with reluctance, everyone sighed helplessly, and at the same time felt resentful towards the pineapple boy in their hearts.
If it weren't for that idiot, they wouldn't have missed the opportunity to get up close and personal with such a cute little puppy.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and Xu Ren'er followed Pingguo Xinshan and Durian Lifeng into the yamen. Pingguo Xinshan and Durian Lifeng were talking seriously about work.
Every profession has its own expertise. Xu Ren'er didn't know his stuff. His head was buzzing, so he simply closed his eyes and lay on the ground pretending to take a nap.
After a long time, Xu Ren'er's ears moved, and she heard footsteps of different frequencies coming towards her.
He quickly opened his eyes, stood up and looked outside the door, only to see Qingti Yaoming stepping over the threshold with a serious face and stepping in.
I have to say that Qingti Yaoming's timing was just right. He appeared just as Durian Lifeng and Apple Xinshan finished their conversation.
Durian Lifeng: "Is it done?"
Qingti Yaoming: "It's a bit tricky, I need to discuss it with you in detail."
Durian Lifeng: "Where are the others?"
Qingti Yaoming: "She was placed in a side room and two reliable people were assigned to guard her."
Durian Lifeng nodded and gave Apple Xinshan a look. Apple Xinshan understood, walked to Xu Rener, picked her up, and left the conversation room.
