174: Chapter 174 You're not even worthy to carry their shoes

At this time, facing Cui Shuxian's questioning, Chen Qi patted Piao Xiuying's hand, both as a comfort and a warning, warning her not to speak too much.

Then he looked at Cui Shuxian with a slight smile, "You aren't lacking in any area. You saw it too, that guy just now was the Du Family's Eighteenth Young Master; his Family is no worse than yours."

"His vision is no lower than yours, yet he still drooled when he saw you."

"Then why did you..." Cui Shuxian lowered her head, her ears burning hot. A breath was stuck in her chest, yet she couldn't say it.

Chen Qi used his toe to lift her chin, forcing her head up to reveal a harmless smile. "Still don't understand? Because there are people better than you. In my heart, you aren't even worthy of carrying their shoes."

"Who?"

"I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"A woman like you, if you knew their names, you would definitely curse them in your heart. I don't want you cursing them, especially not because of me."

"Are they really that good in your heart?"

"It's not 'she', it's 'them'. Although they are currently other people's women, however..."

Speaking to this point, Chen Qi paused, his eyes darkening. "I want to correct what I just said. It's not that I don't want to; it's that I absolutely will not allow anyone to curse them."

"So, telling you their names would mean your end has come, understand?"

Cui Shuxian's eyelashes drooped. She wanted to lower her head like before.

But her chin was held up by Chen Qi's toe, so she couldn't.

Chen Qi smiled slightly and withdrew his foot as if nothing had happened.

Piao Xiuying, behind him, saw the two finally finished talking and only then dared to ask, "Young Master Chen, what kind of person is that Yun Zhuo you mentioned?"

"That's more like it. Your current task is to study how to kill him. As long as you kill him, you'll be free, instead of thinking about unrealistic things all day."

Then his tone shifted, "That kid Yun Zhuo is just an ordinary commoner, as ordinary as they come. If it were two months ago, the dogs raised by your Family would be more precious than him."

"But now, his Rank should be in the thirties, but at most not exceeding Rank thirty-five. At the same time, he should have a wingman, estimated to be between Rank twenty and thirty."

"Then don't we have no chance?" Piao Xiuying was shocked. With such strength, and Chen Qi calling so many people to kill him, where would it be her turn to act?

"I haven't finished yet," Chen Qi said nonchalantly. "That kid's talent is very strong, and his luck is also very good. The Awakening talent skill he got is Gravity Manipulation."

As he spoke, he looked up at Piao Xiuying behind him. "Auntie Pu, you should know how rare manipulation-type talent skills are, right? Isn't that kid's luck very good?"

"But even so, his Rank is right there. How could he possibly survive the hands of those people?"

"Don't worry, I guarantee that of the people I called, not one will be able to kill him."

"Why?"

"Because that kid is ruthless enough, despicable enough, and has high Comprehension Ability and good talent. In a one-on-one fight, absolutely none of those guys are his match."

"If it's only like that," Piao Xiuying glanced at her two daughters, "there's absolutely no problem for us to kill him. Why bother using others?"

"In case that kid's luck is bad and he dies at their hands, what do we do?"

Chen Qi gave a cold laugh, "That would be a good thing for you."

"A good thing?" Piao Xiuying frowned, unable to see how it was good.

Chen Qi stretched. "You would be completely free. With your ability, do you think any of those guys you've seen, besides me, could control you?"

Piao Xiuying's heart stirred, and her eyes suddenly brightened. "You would really let us go?"

"I have never gone back on something I've promised."

"This isn't my guarantee to you; for a Family to grow strong, reputation is extremely important."

"Do you think it's worth ruining my Chen Family's reputation for the sake of you three women?"

After he finished, the courtyard was silent for a while. Chen Qi raised his hand to block the sunlight, checked the time, and felt it was about right, so he asked, "Have you thought about who you'll give yourselves to?"

Piao Xiuying was stunned. "How did you know I was thinking about that?"

"Tell me, I'll help you consult. After all, I know them better than you do, and I can pick a better household for you."

"In the end, you still don't want to set us free, right?"

"Freedom requires an exchange of equal value. Buying you cost me a lot of money; I have to get my investment back, don't I?"

"Shen Zhao. His mind is the simplest and easiest to manipulate."

"But the Shen Family is only a Second-rate Family, and a simple-minded person is often more likely to cause trouble. For such a person to still be valued in the Family, it only means he has a powerful mother."

"If you want to handle him, you first have to handle his mother. How much of a chance do you think you have of handling a woman who can make a Second-rate Family submit?"

"Then Gong Lei. Although this person has some schemes, he's too green. Such a person is easily led by the nose."

"The starting point for a Second-rate Family is too low. Don't you want to be a bit more ambitious? If you keep picking second-rate Families, when will you ever pay off your debt to me?"

"You want me to choose Du Mingxing?"

"Heh, you finally got to the point. The Du Family is not only a First-rate Family but also a Subsidiary Family of my Chen Family. When the time comes, we can watch over each other and grow strong together—wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"In the end, you still want to use us as your pawns."

"Pawns? In the future, you'll find that being a pawn for me, Chen Qi, is also a kind of honor."

"Also, the above are just my personal suggestions. No matter who you eventually choose, as long as he can kill Yun Zhuo, I will give you to him along with your Indenture Contracts."

...

Twenty tasks—it only took Yun Zhuo eight hours to finish them.

It was mainly because Teacher Su's speed was fast enough. You should know that at Rank twenty-three, she could already outrun ordinary artillery shells.

With her current speed, running a circle around the city five hundred kilometers out would take four hours at most, not to mention that the locations of these twenty tasks didn't require running a full circle.

When they reached a task location, if there were few Mutated Beasts, Yun Zhuo would handle it himself.

If they encountered a pack, he would summon Sister Zhenzhen and the others.

Seven wingmen lined up, full firepower unleashed. Yun Zhuo didn't even need to lift a finger; a single volley turned all the Mutated Beasts into sieves.

After finishing one task, he let them wait. When Yun Zhuo and Teacher Su reached the next task point, he would summon them again.

After finishing all the tasks directly, he opened a Space Gate to send them back to Nun Village.

The only thing Yun Zhuo had to expend was psionic energy. Simultaneously enjoying the service of seven War Princesses put a bit of a strain on his Mental Energy, and he also had to open the Space Gate to send them back.

Yun Zhuo had never used Recovery Potions before, but now he felt it was better to have some on hand for protection.

When the two returned to the Imperial Capital, it was already six in the evening.

"Xiao Zhuo, are we going straight back to school now?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"I heard there's a good restaurant in the Imperial Capital, the very romantic kind."

"What about your sister? She doesn't seem to know how to cook."

"In all these years I wasn't by her side, I didn't see her starve to death."

"Alright then, you decide."

"Never mind, never mind. Let's just go buy groceries."
