She thought that there would finally be someone who wouldn’t resort to violence and robbery. This person from China had done extremely well, but she didn’t expect that he did it so well that he gave face to their brothers. Instead, he waited for Shen Xiaoxiao to take everything back into her hands. Only then did he settle the score with her.
It turned out that Yan Kuan’s Dark Empire really made people so fearful. Even this person from China had to take it in their hands. However, he knew quite a lot, even the Obsidian Star.
“Yan Kuan, what is the Obsidian Star? You have given me so many things. How do I know which one is the Obsidian Star? Do you mean this necklace? You were the one who put it on with your own hands back then. You said that I wouldn’t be able to take it off if you put it on. I don’t have the ability to take this off. What do you think?”
Shen Xiaoxiao deliberately misled him. She found Yan Kuan’s appearance funny. The Obsidian Star, other than the Four Hall Masters, Dark 1, Dark 2, and 19, no one knew what it was exactly. Would the Four Hall Masters tell Yan Kuan the truth? It all depended on what Yan Kuan had done to get the information without others finding out.
However, she also believed that as long as he asked, they would definitely be suspicious. Hence, she bet that Yan Kuan would not ask.
The reason why she was willing to call this person Yan Kuan was because regardless of appearance, voice, temperament, and personality, they were all imitated very similar. The clone made by China… Was much stronger than what the old woman herself had researched. And for him to be able to imitate his personality like this, even his emotions could be added in. Except for that person from the Jiang family who knew Yan Kuan very well, there was absolutely no other person in this world.
It was just a pity that Shen Xiaoxiao knew that this person was a fake from the first meeting. Grandma Lin also knew that this was a fake. It really was Long Xi, but he was locked up in the dungeon by himself, and absolutely no one could find him. No matter how powerful the Jiang family was, they still felt that it was impossible to find him. This was because the place where he was imprisoned made people feel that it was inconceivable.
It was actually very easy to understand that the Jiang family wanted the Dark Empire, an organization that could control the entire world. After all, the temptation was too great, especially after Shen Xiaoxiao took over the Dark Empire for a few months, she understood it even more thoroughly. Not to mention the entire world, it was not impossible to destroy a country.
In the past, with Yan Kuan in the Jiang family, they might not dare to make a move. However, something happened to Yan Kuan and he went missing. Even though they appeared to be taking care of her, the things they wanted were definitely not vague. This was a person who could truly rule a country. Without any ambition, could he achieve such a position? Could she?
On this end, after Yan Kuan heard Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, he carefully looked at the necklace around her neck. After a long while, he said, “Xiaoxiao, you’d better think it through.”
After saying this, he turned around and walked out of the room. Shen Xiaoxiao picked up the milk cup and sipped on it. It was as if she was a lazy kitten that no one could guess what she was thinking.
Yan Kuan had left so quickly. He must have gone to report to that person. It seemed that she really had to step up her protection. She really cherished her life now.
“He left?”
“He left. He doesn’t even know what the Obsidian Star is, yet he can still be so arrogant.”
“Alright, don’t bother about him. Have you put away the Black Ganoderma?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already put it away.”
Shen Xiaoxiao drank the milk in one gulp. The Suoyin flower, the Yin-Yang Fruit, and the Black Ganoderma. Among the three items, the old lady had one, she had one, and she also had the key to open the door. If she wanted the Yin-Yang Fruit… Unless she nodded, no one could touch the Shen family’s foundation.
…
“Why did your grandfather say that he wanted Shen Xiaoxiao’s finger? What exactly is that ring of hers for?”
The moment Liu Yufei returned to the room, she asked Pei Li. Pei Li hugged the pillow and rubbed it non-stop. This was already a habit of his. As long as he stayed in the room, he liked to rub things that were similar to the ones in the pillow. That kind of ruthlessness sometimes caused Liu Yufei’s entire body to go numb when she saw it.
“You don’t need to care what it is. I only know what I want. I can complete the mission by cutting off her hand.”
“That’s a nice way of putting it. Shen Xiaoxiao is very skilled and has a secret guard by her side. How can we get close to her? It’s easier said than done to chop off her hand.”
“We can’t do it, but there are people who can. For example, the person you love the most. If it was the person you love the most who chopped off her hand, it would be fun. It would be so fun.”
Pei Li said it gently, even with a hint of a smile. However, Liu Yufei felt that it was very strange. His actions made people even more afraid.
“But, Yan Kuan is the Black Emperor. How could he help me cut off her hand? Moreover, your grandfather said that we should keep a low profile and not reveal this matter. If it wasn’t because we have some relationship with Shen Xiaoxiao, this matter wouldn’t have been left to the two of us. Please don’t mess it up.”
“Hmph, mess it up? You don’t understand. No man is willing to see his woman cuckold him. Yan Kuan is even more unwilling to see that Long Xi appear at the right time.”
Liu Yufei was extremely unhappy. What Pei Li meant was that he had never loved her. Otherwise, even though she had cuckolded him so many times, she had never seen him show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
As expected, no man was good.
“What exactly is that ring? Is It related to opening the life-saving fund?”
“Who knows? But it’s still very important.”
“How are we going to get in touch with Yan Kuan?”
Pei Li smiled as he threw a magazine to Liu Yufei. The woman on the cover made Liu Yufei understand immediately. So this was where they would start. The singer, Nan Ya.
…
Pei Dongguo sat in the study room and looked at his daughter’s resentful look. He shook his head helplessly.
“Haven’t you always been fearless? Why are you so afraid of a little girl?”
Pei Tianai looked at Pei Dongguo’s aging appearance. Why did he have to provoke Shen Xiaoxiao instead of enjoying his old age? That girl looked harmless, but she was definitely more powerful than they had ever seen. Provoking her… Even the Pei family had to pay for it.
“Father, I’m doing this for the Pei family’s sake.”
“I’m also doing this for the Pei family’s sake. I spent a lot of money to get the news. The thing that the Jiang family is looking for is that girl’s ring. It’s just that no one knows about this. If I get the item and exchange it with the Jiang family, the Pei family will become the second Ouyang family.”
Hearing Pei Dongguo’s crazy thoughts, Pei Tianai felt her scalp go numb. Not only did he involve Shen Xiaoxiao, he even provoked the Jiang family. He even wanted to be the second Ouyang family? He must be crazy. Was the Jiang family that easy to scheme against?
“Father, are you confused? How could the Jiang family possibly trade with you? Don’t destroy the Pei family.”
“Am I confused? Hmph, if you’re afraid, then go back to your foreign country. You don’t know what that ring is. As long as we get that ring, the Jiang family will definitely trade with us. Just wait and see.”
“Dad…”
“Get out.”
