"My dear husband, come on, it's time for a big meal!"
The two, having reconciled, quickly developed a warmer relationship, and even their way of addressing each other became incredibly sweet.
Jiang Yuan looked at the table full of dishes, somewhat bewildered. He asked curiously, "Xiaoyu, where did all this come from?"
"It's a complimentary gift from the hotel. It's a suite that costs tens of thousands of Holy Spirit Crystals a day, so it's normal for them to give us some food!" An Xiaoyu picked up a large crab, chopped off five of its legs in a few quick movements, and then handed it to Jiang Yuan. "Eat up."
Jiang Yuan: "..."
He didn't quite understand the operation. He could understand if you were to crack open the shell and take out the crab roe, but what did it mean to leave only three legs?
"Self-reliance leads to abundance, so eat up!" An Xiaoyu rested her chin on her hand, ready to watch him eat.
Jiang Yuan's lips twitched, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and asked, "But what does it mean to cut off its five legs?"
“With so many legs, I was afraid it would go to hell with eight boats under its feet after it died, so I decided to give it a physical send-off. Look!” An Xiaoyu pointed to the crab’s big pincers and three legs very considerately and said in a serious tone, “Now it can only have three boats under its feet at most, no more than that.”
Jiang Yuan: "..."
You might as well just give me my ID card number directly. This isn't some kind of metaphor; it's a direct and explicit statement.
"Ahem, that's really true!" Jiang Yuan had an "I understand" look on his face. He immediately put the crab aside and said, "By the way, is the miniature array core we just brought back from upstairs useful? Let's eat and see!"
"That's right, eat while watching!"
An Xiaoyu then took the item out. This miniature array core has a similar function to the recording stone, so when it was activated, it also projected video and sound.
...
"Taishi Feng, our lord has a close working relationship with your Taishi family, so I don't need to say more!"
"Don't worry, I, Taishi Feng, know what to do. I will be waiting for you all at the Xishan Mine at midnight tomorrow night."
"Haha, your Taishi family really knows how to get things done. Otherwise, you'd be just as indecisive as the Zhao family, unable to seize great opportunities. What future do you have to talk about!"
"My lord, I have another question. Since the Taishi family and the Zhao family are helping us, why did you send three sacred mountains to attack the East City? Isn't that a waste of resources?" Taishi Feng's expression was full of flattery. He was still thinking of making money from both the Holy Spirit Clan and the Human Clan. If the Holy Spirit Clan attacked too fiercely, wouldn't he miss this opportunity?
"Look at your greedy face! Don't worry, Dongcheng won't be destroyed. We only sent three sacred mountains this time for the super divine vein beneath Dongcheng. After taking a portion, we will withdraw from Dongcheng and then hand over the remaining super divine vein to you friendly humans. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?" The Holy Spirit Clan laughed arrogantly.
"That's good, that's good. But in the end, the super divine veins are indeed not something the human race should dabble in. After all, we've only occupied one source, and the rest are outside the safe zone. It's not reasonable to just occupy them like this." Tai Shi Feng had clearly completely abandoned his race; all he cared about was profit.
"This time, the Holy Son of the Spirit Array Clan will bring the core of the array. The source controlled by the City Lord's Mansion won't be able to cause any major trouble. You can just stay in the city and wait to take over the divine vein!"
...
The miniature array core contains large chunks of chat history, but only these are useful.
"It seems we misjudged the situation!" An Xiaoyu said solemnly.
Jiang Yuan frowned and said, "The Holy Spirit Clan was defeated in Hancheng just a few days ago. How come they've made a comeback now? And they've sent three divine mountains to target Dongcheng alone. This is too outrageous."
"What do we do now?" An Xiaoyu asked with a worried expression.
The attack from the three sacred mountains is definitely beyond their ability to withstand. Whether the mission can be completed is secondary; the safety of Dongcheng is more important.
“Let’s prepare for both scenarios. We’ll send the intelligence up first, and then the higher-ups can decide what to do. As for us, we’ll proceed according to the original plan. We’ll find some trustworthy people in the East City, and then ambush them in the West Mountain mine. At least we should annihilate one wave of the Holy Spirit Clan’s vanguard to complete the mission.” Jiang Yuan took out the recording stone he had obtained from the Liu family and handed it to An Xiaoyu, saying, “You can hand it over. I have enough merit points.”
He had earned enough merits in the Altai defense zone, which he didn't need for the time being. Moreover, he didn't want to be too conspicuous; being low-key would be better for his survival when surrounded by enemies.
“Okay, I’ll upload it.” An Xiaoyu didn’t refuse. At this moment, the most important thing was to deal with this matter as soon as possible and give Tianfu enough time to mobilize.
"Xiaoyu, when you go out later, take the opportunity to scout out the Xishan Mine, so we can set up an ambush tonight!" Jiang Yuan said.
"And what about you?"
An Xiaoyu understood that Jiang Yuan meant they should split up, but since they had just gotten together, she really didn't want to leave his side.
"Now that we've confirmed the Zhao family are spies, there's nothing to hold back. We'll use whatever means necessary to find out their route for transporting the Holy Spirit Clan!" Jiang Yuan's tone was filled with sharp killing intent.
Previously, he couldn't ascertain the positions of the Zhao and Taishi families, so he didn't resort to violence. However, now that he was certain, things were different. A living person might keep a secret, but a dead person will never lie.
An Xiaoyu leaned forward, her lips and tongue covering Jiang Yuan's, and she nestled into his arms. After a long, tender few minutes, she breathed softly and said, "Promise me that you will always prioritize your own safety in everything you do."
"Don't worry, with you guys around, I wouldn't dare to die!" Jiang Yuan took the initiative to kiss her, unwilling to let go of the charming and lovely girl in his arms.
An Xiaoyu's appearance made it clear to everyone that Jiang Yuan was a scumbag.
