Xuannu's ambition is too great

Ye Chen nodded. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he walked into the Safe Zone.

In the pavilion of the Safe Zone, Golden Eyes was sitting inside, drinking tea.

The few of them took turns working one-day shifts, handling various matters inside.

"Golden Eyes, you're quite leisurely, haha!" Ye Chen walked over and laughed.

Golden Eyes was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ye Chen. The moment he saw Ye Chen, he was overjoyed: "Brother Ye Chen! Why are you here! Come, come, sit down quickly!"

Golden Eyes greeted Ye Chen with a chuckle.

Ye Chen sat down to the side.

"Are Fire Feather and the others all out?"

Golden Eyes poured a cup of tea for Ye Chen and said: "Yeah, they went out early in the morning. With the world about to undergo a great change, they've all gone out to hunt monsters, hoping to level up a few more times."

Ye Chen also noticed that Golden Eyes had reached Level 25 and smiled: "Not bad. It seems you haven't been idle during this time; you've all reached Level 25. That's very good."

Golden Eyes laughed: "Haha, isn't it because there are more monsters in Qing County? It's much more convenient for us to hunt them. Plus, since we hunt monsters every day, the more we hunt, the higher the drop rate for the hell secret realm key fragment, so leveling up has been quite fast."

Ye Chen nodded.

These hell secret realm key fragments were indeed very difficult to obtain; getting one for every twenty monsters killed was already quite good.

There was no way to compare with a monster like Ye Chen; Ye Chen could collect a whole hell secret realm key by hunting just 20 monsters.

After chatting for a while, Ye Chen asked: "Is Xuannv here?"

"Are you talking about Lady Xuannv?"

Golden Eyes unconsciously lowered his voice significantly.

Ye Chen nodded and gave a grunt of affirmation.

"She is. By the way, Brother Fire Feather has something to tell you. He was planning to go to your place in the next couple of days, but I didn't expect you to come today. I'll have Brother Fire Feather come back now."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was a bit curious and asked: "What is it?"

Golden Eyes shook his head: "I don't know either. It seems to be about Xuannv. I'll have him come back and talk to you now."

"Hmm!"

Golden Eyes picked up his phone and called Fire Feather.

Half an hour later, Fire Feather came running over in a rush.

"Haha! Brother Ye Chen, you actually came! It's been such a long time!" Fire Feather opened his arms, intending to give Ye Chen a hug.

Seeing that Fire Feather was in high spirits, Ye Chen felt relieved.

After Fire Feather sat down, he laughed: "Brother Ye Chen, you are truly too awesome. You have no idea how many people here are clamoring to go to the Aggregation Zone to join you. On the very first day you went to the Aggregation Zone, you killed the General Commander Jin Bing, and then beheaded so many ministers and Elders as a public warning. This matter has been spreading like wildfire around here; this is something only you could pull off! Haha!"

Ye Chen felt a bit embarrassed; he hadn't expected the news to spread so quickly.

But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, members of the Star Alliance were present at the time. After such an event occurred, they would definitely tell the people here in Qing County, and they couldn't help but brag about it a little.

"By the way, how is my cousin? Is she doing well?" Fire Feather was still quite concerned about his own cousin, Chen Ruxin.

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Very well. She is still the leader of the Tiandao Alliance and has broken free from the control of the Law Enforcement Alliance."

Fire Feather nodded in relief and said: "Then I can rest easy. I suppose with you there, nothing will happen to her."

As soon as Fire Feather said this, Ye Chen felt a bit embarrassed, as this sentence had multiple meanings.

When Chen Ruxin had asked Fire Feather to help Ye Chen back then, she had already told Fire Feather about their relationship.

Although he was Fire Feather's leader, if they talked about seniority, Fire Feather was his brother-in-law!

"By the way, Golden Eyes just said you had something to ask me?" Ye Chen asked, effectively changing the subject.

Fire Feather nodded repeatedly and said in a low voice: "Come, let's go somewhere else to talk."

After saying that, Fire Feather pulled Ye Chen to a room.

Upon entering the room, Ye Chen discovered that it was actually a secret chamber, which made him a bit curious.

Fire Feather noticed Ye Chen's confusion and explained: "We just set this up. After all, some matters need to be discussed privately. Who knows if Xuannv might be eavesdropping? It's better to be careful when discussing things that aren't convenient for Xuannv to know."

Ye Chen understood.

After sitting down, Fire Feather said: "Ye Chen, I feel that this person, Xuannv, is very complicated."

"Hmm? What do you mean by that?"

Fire Feather said: "I feel that Xuannv has a very great ambition, and it's not just a normal level of great! You should have noticed when you came that many strangers have arrived in Qing County, and they aren't from our Star Alliance."

This was exactly what Ye Chen wanted to ask Fire Feather about.

"Those people are all from the Sixth Region next door. They are completely a mob. Compared to those people from the Azure Alliance before, they are even worse! I caught one of them and asked; the evil deeds they committed before were even more excessive than the Azure Alliance!"

Looking at Fire Feather's angry expression, Ye Chen could imagine their evil deeds.

"Why did they appear here?"

Fire Feather recounted what had happened before to Ye Chen.

"Hmm? There was actually such a thing? You mean those people were all kept by Xuannv?"

Ye Chen frowned and said.

"Yeah, that's also the reason why I say Xuannv's ambition is great. She must have some purpose in keeping these people. As for what she's doing, I can't guess!"

Ye Chen nodded and asked: "Then has she done anything to you, or rather, made those people do anything to you?"

Fire Feather shook his head directly: "That hasn't happened. Currently, Xuannv treats us quite well, and those people are all within our jurisdiction."

Ye Chen nodded in relief: "That's good. As long as she hasn't done anything to you, that's fine. As for how she acts or what she does, don't ask."

"But what if she...?" Fire Feather was still a bit worried. Even if Xuannv had a good relationship with Ye Chen, ultimately, Xuannv was still a monster, and the two were simply not of the same race.

"It's fine. With me here, she won't dare to do anything to you. Alright, I still have things to do. I need to go find Xuannv."

Ye Chen stood up and walked toward the door.

"Hmm, alright!"

Fire Feather watched Ye Chen leave.

Ye Chen leaped up and hovered in the air.

On top of a tall building, Xuannv was lying on a rocking chair, sunbathing.

Ye Chen slowly landed.

Xuannv got up, sat straight, and looked at Ye Chen with a smile.

Xuannv was not curious about Ye Chen's arrival, as if she knew Ye Chen was coming.

Xuannv was wearing a cyan dress today with her hair tied up. Ye Chen noticed that there was an extra cyan mark on Xuannv's forehead.

Xuannv smiled: "This mark is the sign of my Awakening talent."

"Congratulations!" Ye Chen smiled and found a chair to sit down on.

"Don't take what Fire Feather told you too much to heart. I can guarantee that what I do will absolutely not be detrimental to you in any way," Xuannv said indifferently.
