100: Goodbye Aunt Qu
The sun had not yet risen.
Mo Xueer woke up with a stretch.
"Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?" Ling Xian looked at Mo Xueer's alluring figure, his eyes burning.
"No, I still have things to do. I should have known Wu Yueyue was so useless; I shouldn't have let her help." Mo Xueer pouted, got up, and put on her clothes. "Not only did it not increase my strength, but it increased yours instead."
After the Body Tempering Pill transformation last time, Mo Xueer's figure had become exquisitely curvaceous.
"This is a beauty enhancing pill for you. Also, there's the Body Tempering Pill from last time; please give it to Taohua."
Ling Xian spent 20,000 villain points from the system to exchange for these two pills and handed them to Mo Xueer.
Mo Xueer knew the terrifying effects of the Primary Body Tempering Pill. As for the Primary Beauty Enhancing Pill, she had seen Taohua take it, and Chi Taohua immediately became as beautiful as a celestial fairy.
She immediately nodded and accepted them.
Mo Xueer's beauty was undeniable. The once cold and aloof assassin had now become docile and obedient.
Her only flaw was her peculiar habit; she was almost like a pet constantly clinging to Ling Xian.
"Oh, right, there are also healing pills." Ling Xian added, looking at the injuries on Mo Xueer's back.
The healing pills were taken by Ling Xian from the Living Dead. They could quickly heal wounds and prevent scarring.
Therefore, he didn't spend any villain points to exchange for them.
"Thank you, Master, for the reward!" Mo Xueer threw herself into Ling Xian's arms, took a deep breath, and left contentedly.
Afterward, Ling Xian carefully observed Wu Yueyue, who was still sound asleep.
"This girl is good in every way, but she's too fragile. I need to quickly find a way to improve her cultivation, otherwise, she won't be able to perform to her fullest with anyone."
Ling Xian muttered to himself, gently tapped Wu Yueyue's forehead, and then got dressed.
He still had important matters to attend to, which was to make Xu Feng kick the bucket.
At this moment, Wu Yueyue's face was full of smiles, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, occasionally letting out a few sleep-talked phrases, "Brother Ling Xian, no!"
"I was wrong, Brother Ling Xian~~"
"Sister Taohua, help~"
...The sky was faintly bright.
In Jiangnan, within the largest stone gambling base.
Ling Xian had changed into a custom casual suit, followed by the cold and enchanting Mo Xueer.
And his secretary, Xu Xinyou, who had just been woken up by Ling Xian's phone call.
The combination of one man and two women was particularly eye-catching.
But if one observed closely, they would notice that Mo Xueer's walking posture was slightly awkward.
A strange blush also appeared on her charming and aloof face.
However, the murderous aura deep in her eyes could not be concealed, as if she could go berserk at any moment.
And Xu Xinyou was even more exaggerated, yawning repeatedly after a few steps, looking utterly listless.
She hadn't slept all night, her mind filled with thoughts of Ling Xian. This morning, just as she wanted to get some sleep, Ling Xian's notification came.
Crucially, as Ling Xian's secretary, she really couldn't not come.
This was a secretary's duty: on call twenty-four hours a day!
Ling Xian's target this time was none other than Xu Feng.
Currently, there weren't many people in the stone gambling base, especially in the central area where Ling Xian was headed, which was the territory of the Jiangnan Yang Family.
On the stone gambling stall, three people were observing.
Leng Yunyan, Qu Shuiyun, and an old man.
Ling Xian also stood curiously behind Leng Yunyan and abruptly asked, "How's the viewing going?"
Leng Yunyan was startled, patted her chest, and turned to look. "Ling Xian? Why are you here?"
Immediately, Qu Shuiyun and the old man also looked at Ling Xian.
Qu Shuiyun's eyes were full of pleasant surprise, while the old man frowned slightly, seemingly displeased that Ling Xian's arrival interrupted his observation of the stones.
Leng Yunyan observed Ling Xian's surroundings and noticed two beautiful figures.
She naturally didn't recognize Mo Xueer, but the other woman, who was covering her face, looked more and more familiar to Leng Yunyan.
"Damn Ling Xian, he's hooked up with more beauties again."
Just as Leng Yunyan was complaining, Xu Xinyou was also stunned, not expecting to meet Leng Yunyan in such a place.
Leng Yunyan suddenly stepped forward and saw Xu Xinyou. The two women's eyes met, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Leng Yunyan blinked her eyes, seemingly signaling a secret code only the two of them knew.
As if saying, "Didn't you say you resigned? Why are you still Ling Xian's secretary?"
Xu Xinyou also blinked in response, as if saying, "Isn't this me watching Ling Xian for you, afraid he'll mess around behind your back?"
"Uh, are your eyes very dry?" Ling Xian couldn't help but laugh a little watching the two women communicate like this.
"Ahem, President Ling, my eyes are a bit dry." Xu Xinyou quickly explained upon hearing this.
"What are you doing here? Ling Xian, I told you that I have nothing to do with you anymore." Leng Yunyan said this to Ling Xian, and even more so to herself and Xu Xinyou.
Meaning, Xu Xinyou, listen carefully, you don't need to watch Ling Xian for me. I have no relationship with him, and whatever romantic escapades he has outside are none of my business.
"Tsk tsk tsk... how heartless. But I have a good relationship with Aunt Qu! Right, Aunt Qu?" Ling Xian said with a smile, his eyes meeting Qu Shuiyun's.
A subtle, invisible hint of ambiguity was revealed.
"That's right, Yunyan, Little Xian and I have a very good relationship." Qu Shuiyun covered her mouth and chuckled.
"President Qu, this one will do!" The old man pushed up his reading glasses, inappropriately interrupting their conversation at this moment.
"Alright, I trust Master Li's judgment." Qu Shuiyun nodded in agreement.
She turned to Ling Xian and explained, "You know my Leng Family. A portion of our company's business involves jewelry, but the suppliers are unstable. So this time, I came personally to select suitable stones, hoping to find good merchandise."
"Also, I hope to buy enough stones to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Young Master Yang and form a stable supply channel."
Ling Xian understood completely. The Leng Family's industry was expanding into jewelry. Their previous small suppliers were unreliable, so they came to Jiangnan to find large suppliers.
Actually, this Yang Family was not a local prominent family in Jiangnan, but had come from Southern Xinjiang to develop. Therefore, relying on the resources and connections from Southern Xinjiang, they easily established themselves in the Jiangnan stone gambling market.
"No sales today, please come back another day!" Suddenly, the Yang Family member in charge of the stone gambling stall looked at the message on his phone and waved his hand.
"Huh?" Old Li was stunned. Having been in the stone gambling circle for many years, this was the first time he had heard of a business not doing business.
Even Qu Shuiyun was a bit puzzled. She still wanted to use this opportunity to reach a cooperation with the Yang Family, but now, let alone meeting a Yang Family member, she couldn't even buy a single stone.
Ling Xian, however, knew that Xu Feng, whom he was waiting for, was about to arrive.
This Young Master of the Yang Family, after learning of Xu Feng's powerful abilities, hoped to befriend him.
