Wang Qiumin swaggered along with two followers and dropped the unconscious Wang Chuci off at the entrance of Narcissus Pavilion, the headquarters of the black market.
The guard at the door: "What are you doing? Why did you leave someone here?"
Wang Qiuming unfurled his folding fan with a swish, fanning himself with it in a self-proclaimed, uninhibited manner. "This man is a traitor to our Wang family. He betrayed us just to join your black market. Now I'm leaving him here. You can do whatever you want with him. Our Wang family won't take care of him anyway."
What happened in front of Narcissus Pavilion quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers.
"Tsk, that's so miserable to watch."
"Why is this kid so stubborn? The Wang family is one of the five great families. Others fight tooth and nail to get in, yet he, a member of the Wang family, actually wants to betray them. The Wang family has raised an ungrateful person."
"Haha, where are the five great families now? The Zhou family has collapsed, and the others have also gone downhill."
"If you ask me, this kid is very courageous. No matter how good the Wang family is, can it compare to the black market? Can the Wang family produce those cultivation techniques and elixirs on the black market?"
"That's true. If I continue to stay in the Wang family, there won't be many benefits, and I can't buy things on the black market. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"This kid reminded me, is the black market still recruiting people? If so, do you think I'm suitable?" Someone immediately recommended himself to the two guards at the door of Narcissus Pavilion.
Others, fearing to fall behind, also rushed forward.
They almost drowned Wang Chuci who was thrown to the ground.
The two guards shouted in unison, "Stop! Don't come any closer! The black market isn't hiring right now, everyone, go away!"
Qing Yuan, who was in charge of personnel and miscellaneous matters in the black market, came out to check after learning that Wang Chuci was thrown at the door of Narcissus Pavilion. Seeing that he was seriously injured, he ordered two guards to carry him in.
Xue Huan had just finished a magic class when she came out and received a jade slip message from Qing Yuan.
Qing Yuan recounted the story and said at the end, "Do you think you could come over?"
Xue Huan: "Okay, I'll get ready and go over right away. You help him take care of his external injuries first."
After hanging up the jade slip, Xue Huan returned to the Yaoguang Tower, intending to refine a meridian-repairing ointment that could repair damaged tendons and veins, as well as a recovery pill that could repair the dantian.
Yuan Xi sat under the flower tree in the yard, leisurely playing with a cat. The cat was snow-white all over, without a trace of other colors, just like the finest silk. Its eyes were pure blue and very spiritual.
Xue Huan couldn't help but ask when she saw it, "Where did this cat come from?"
She squatted down and touched the cat's head. The cat was very docile and friendly. It rubbed against her hand and made a soft "fei fei" sound.
Xue Huan: “???”
Aren't cats supposed to meow? Why does this cat's meow sound so different?
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the little animal looked like a cat at first glance, but in fact it also looked very similar to a fox, like a combination of the two creatures.
Yuan Xi stroked the little beast and said, "This is Xixi. I caught it from Huoshan in the Mountain and Sea Realm. This little beast has a gentle temperament. Keeping it by your side can relieve your worries. Do you like it?"
The Mountain and Sea Realm is the ancient world described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It is a vast world with a vast territory. Various wild beasts, demon beasts, and divine beasts roam everywhere, as well as various magical plants and trees.
Xue Huan looked at the adorable little cat-like creature in front of her, and remembered what he had said before: Xuan Ling's wild nature had not yet been eliminated, and he should catch her a new cat. She was speechless, "You didn't go all the way to the Mountain and Sea Realm just to catch me a 'cat', did you?"
Although the Xumi Mirror can indeed allow people to travel through time and space, such an amazing skill also causes huge losses when used. Even the Tongtian Monument in her space requires a lot of merit points to take her through space.
Speaking of the Tongtian Monument, she suddenly thought of the Tower of Babel. They are both named "Tongtian". Could there be any connection between them?
However, the Babel Monument is in her space, while the Tower of Babel has existed in the outside world since ancient times. It should be a coincidence.
Yuan Xi brought her over and kissed her on the lips. "Why not?" He asked her again, "Do you like it? If not, I'll catch you another one."
Xue Huan quickly said, "I like it. No need to catch more. This one is good enough."
She held Feifei on her lap and touched her again and again.
Seeing that she really liked it, Yuan Xi gave up.
After not seeing her for half a day, he missed her so much that he held her shoulders and kissed her enchanting red lips.
Xue Huan kissed him back for a while, then pushed him away, "I have something else to do."
Yuan Xi chased her lips and kissed her, not letting her go, "What's the matter?"
He was kissing so tightly that he couldn't distinguish his lips and tongue from each other, so he asked this question using his spiritual sense.
Xue Huan hit him on the shoulder and turned her face away.
Yuan Xi sighed, let go of her helplessly, and walked out.
Xue Huan finally had a chance to catch her breath and recounted the whole story.
Yuan Xi frowned, "They can't even handle such a small matter, and you have to make a trip?"
Yuan Xi never intervened in the matter of Xue Huan joining forces with the black market to deal with the aristocratic families. In his opinion, these disputes in the small world were just children playing house. Since she liked to play, he let her do it. If he intervened, the matter would be resolved too quickly and the fun would be greatly reduced.
But when this "toy" becomes too annoying and affects their relationship, he has the urge to destroy it.
As he thought of this, he moved his fingers, and a wisp of power enough to destroy the entire spiritual world gathered at his fingertips, then dissipated like smoke.
Xue Huan was unaware of anything, only Feifei, who was lying on her lap, noticed something. The whole beast was in a state of distress, not daring to move, with its ears tightly closed and pressed against its head.
Xue Huan poked Yuan Xi's face. "What do you mean by this little thing? That person's tendons and veins are broken, and his dantian is destroyed, okay? They came to me because they couldn't solve the problem. This shows that they have great confidence in me. How can I let them down?"
When she said this, her little chin was raised, and her smug little expression was cute and smart. Yuan Xi loved her so much that he caught her and kissed her again.
Finally, when he saw that she was about to get angry, he reluctantly let her go.
"Okay, let me go. I'm going to make the elixir. You are not allowed to follow me and make trouble." Xue Huan jumped off his legs, straightened her skirt, and finally glanced at him warningly.
That glance, filled with shimmering and charming feelings, made Yuan Xi's heart feel numb and itchy, and he wished he could hold the person in his arms and love her freely.
Seeing that his eyes were not right again, Xue Huan quickly picked up Feifei and ran away.
Yuan Xi was about to catch up when a black figure gathered behind him like smoke and knelt on one knee: "Emperor."
Yuan Xi waved his hand to cast a barrier. When he turned around, his expression had turned cold: "Who allowed you to come here?"
This man in black was Ming Hong, the subordinate who had been with Yuan Xi the longest and was the most loyal to him before he was exiled to Luoshen Abyss.
