"They're great at playing the victim, but when it comes to actually fighting, they're ruthless!"
Jiang Yuan didn't stand on ceremony and took away her eight cores without hesitation. He then said, "Do you want me to help you unlock the cores? After all, these are the first cores you've obtained since entering the Void Spirit Realm. You might reap great rewards."
"Do you need money? I'm very poor!" Leng Yue chuckled.
"Hiss, you're obsessed with money, aren't you? I remember you've collected at least a million Holy Spirit Stones, so why do you keep saying you're broke?" Jiang Yuan asked, puzzled.
"Fine, if you don't want to open it, then don't!" Leng Yue said dejectedly.
Jiang Yuan shook his head helplessly. He then took out a set of sportswear and handed it over, saying, "Don't wear these night clothes. If we go to the Liu family later, people will think we're thieves!"
"Go to the Liu family? What for!" Leng Yue asked in surprise as she took the sports jacket.
"Don't worry about all that, just tell me what treasure you want, and I'll unlock its core for you!" Jiang Yuan felt unlucky to encounter such a stingy girl. If we're talking about generosity, Liu Zhaodi was truly generous. No matter how much she had, she would give him whatever she had.
"real?"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I might change my mind!"
"No, no, no! We've come out at night, we can't go back empty-handed!"
"Then stop talking nonsense!"
...
"Hey, you didn't bring me along as a third wheel to your secret rendezvous with your lover, did you?"
When Leng Yue reached the square, she looked extremely unwilling. She said hesitantly, "Let me tell you, I've already been loyal enough by helping you cover this up! If you ask me to do anything that would betray Ning Yanlan, I really can't do it!"
"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm here to see Liu Zhaodi. If you're bored, you can wander around. There's no need for you to follow me!" Jiang Yuan warned, then glanced at her and added, "But don't go back too early. I'm afraid Yanlan will misunderstand!"
“What could possibly be the reason for you coming to see a woman so late at night!” Leng Yue looked unconvinced.
Jiang Yuan ignored Leng Yue. He had come here for the super spirit mine that Wan Jie Yuan Long had mentioned. The spirit mine was located below the plaza, which was the territory of Ji Chen and Liu Sanjia. Although he could use force to seize it, Nancheng was already in chaos. If he caused any more trouble, it would easily attract the covetousness of warlords and other forces, making things even more difficult to resolve.
As Jiang Yuan entered the air-raid shelter, a faint smile played on his lips. Putting everything else aside, Liu Zhaodi was indeed an outstanding person, because even though it was late at night, she was still working in the office.
"I never expected that such a high level of modern facilities would still be preserved here!" Leng Yue couldn't help but exclaim as she entered the air-raid shelter. After the catastrophe, having electricity, water, and complete living facilities was already considered a special privilege. However, everything here was just like the world before the catastrophe, so how could she not be surprised?
"My little dumpling has been lingering here for ages!" Jiang Yuan said helplessly, looking at the dazzling array of air-raid shelters.
Before, the little dumpling only watched cartoon movies with Liu Zhaodi, but later he started going to the food and entertainment areas, spending tens of thousands of yuan a day. How could he not be helpless!
Fortunately, Liu Zhaodi was there to take care of the little one, so Jiang Yuan wasn't too worried about the little one's safety.
"Alright, I'll go shopping for clothes, so I won't disturb your rendezvous with your lover!" Leng Yue's gaze was drawn to a clothing store. Although it sold ordinary clothes, the key was that they were all nice-looking.
"Just keep in touch!"
Before Jiang Yuan could finish speaking, Leng Yue had already disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to find Liu Zhaodi.
"General, you've arrived!" The tomb maiden had been waiting for Jiang Yuan outside.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Jiang Yuan nodded to the Tomb Maiden. These past two days, he had been worried that something might happen to the Liu family, so in addition to leaving behind a Primordial Qi clone, he also left the Tomb Maiden by Liu Zhaodi's side.
"Should we notify Miss Liu?" the tomb maid asked after glancing around the office.
"No need, I can go in myself!"
Jiang Yuan pushed the door open quietly, and Liu Zhaodi said without turning her head, "Sister Tomb Maiden, I'll be there in a while, please wait a little longer!"
Jiang Yuan smiled faintly, and without answering, walked straight behind Liu Zhaodi.
Liu Zhaodi, used to the tomb maiden's aloofness, grumbled as she kept accounts, "Two of the oath-taker have already broken through to the Void Spirit Realm, I wonder if your heartless general has reached the Void Spirit Realm yet!"
"Then why don't you go find him yourself?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.
“Girls should be reserved, I…” Liu Zhaodi’s pen suddenly stopped because she realized that the person speaking was not the Tomb Maiden. She recognized the voice and exclaimed in surprise, “How come it’s you?”
"How big is your heart? You didn't even notice someone walking up behind you! If it were a bad guy, you'd be in big trouble today!" Jiang Yuan leaned back on his desk, his face full of accusatory intent.
"Jiang Yuan!"
Liu Zhaodi dropped her pen and excitedly hugged him, and Jiang Yuan did not resist. The two embraced tenderly.
"Why are you here!" Liu Zhaodi wrapped her arms around Jiang Yuan's waist, tilted her delicate face up, and said with a grin, "Did you miss me too much?"
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then honestly replied, "Actually, there are other things too!"
Liu Zhaodi said with a look of indignation, "Can't you just tell a lie or say yes? Why do you have to be so honest!"
"I want this piece of land below the square. Do you have a way to get it?" Jiang Yuan asked bluntly.
"Huh?" Liu Zhaodi's expression turned strange, and she asked again to confirm, "You want the land under the square? Is it the area around the air-raid shelter?"
“Yes, I need it, so I want to buy it!” Jiang Yuan nodded.
Liu Zhaodi looked troubled, "This... is not easy to handle, because this place is jointly operated by three companies!"
