Chapter 34: An Unexpected "Guest"

After leaving the conference room, Yuan Ting exhaled a breath and suddenly felt the pressure ease.

This young master of the Fu family, whether it's his own level or his prominent family background, is beyond the reach of others. When facing him, one often feels the pressure of facing a superior, rather than regarding him as a rich second-generation.

Yuan Ting's gaze swept over two bunny girls as they walked past. They were in their twenties, with curvy figures and beautiful faces. There were seven or eight bunny girls in the villa, and each of them was a beauty.

Although there were many beautiful women around, Yuan Ting knew that this young master from a wealthy family was not interested in women.

Compared with the beginning, the bunny girls in the villa had been replaced twice. Those girls who were recruited thought they had the opportunity to rise in status and couldn't hold back their restless hearts. They tried to flirt with the young master of the Fu family.

All of them were dismissed.

Now the girls remaining in the villa were very obedient. They did their jobs properly and no longer had unrealistic thoughts.

The bunny girls in the villa were like a configuration to show one's status, or perhaps Fu Qingyang's personal hobby.

Leaving the villa and getting into his own private car, Yuan Ting reminisced about the content of today's meeting. He first reported important information such as the death of the Ghost Eye Judge to the Taiyi Sect.

After finishing the official business, he sent a message to his friend Jian Ji: "Something big has happened in Songhai. The Ghost Eye Judge is dead, and his confidant, the Black Impermanence, is hiding with the Holy Grail and the roster..."

Jian Ji: "I'm so shocked that I can't speak. Did the Ghost Eye Judge just die for no reason? It's like waking up one day and finding that a certain country has been removed from the map."

The two of them lamented with each other, and then they worried about what to do if the fallen ones listed in the roster went out of control collectively, and so on.

Jian Ji: "Is there anything else?"

Yes, there is. That Night Watcher who cleared the Sheling Tunnel just killed a Level 3 Demonic Enchantment Demon... I can't say this. If it gets out, Elder Sun will kill me.

Yuan Ting's expression twisted for a moment, and he typed the message: "There is another piece of news. Just listen to it and don't spread it. Elder Sun is so muddled. That Night Watcher he didn't want..."

...

In a certain dark bedroom in Songhai.

The lights were not on. The only source of light was three candles on the table. They were placed in a triangle, and in the middle was a red-lacquered box. On the surface of the box was a strange insect relief.

A figure wearing a silver mask knelt and sat beside the table. He used a small knife to cut the pulp of his finger, and bright red blood oozed out.

He brought his blood-stained finger to the mouth of the insect relief. The insect came to life and greedily sucked the blood. The color of the paint on the wooden box became even more scarlet.

Whoosh... The wind suddenly rose, and the candles turned blood-red. The scarlet flames shot up high, forming a blood-colored whirlpool above the wooden box.

"What's the matter?"

An indifferent and majestic voice came from the red flame whirlpool.

"Your subordinate has followed your instructions and set the bait. The Five Elements Alliance will search for the Black Impermanence regardless of everything. However, your subordinate can't guarantee that the Black Impermanence will keep hiding in Songhai."

The majestic voice slowly said, "I divined that the Black Impermanence is in Songhai. He must have a purpose for hiding in Songhai, and the specific reason still needs to be verified."

"What else do you need your subordinate to do?"

"Secretly cooperate with the Five Elements Alliance to search for the Black Impermanence. Notify me immediately if there is any news. During this period, I will be in the Lingjing and may not be able to respond in a timely manner."

"Do you have a mission?"

"No, I'm looking for the place where the Ghost Eye Judge died. Coincidentally, I met that person from the Taiyi Sect. Hehe, there is indeed a deeper内幕 behind the death of the Ghost Eye Judge..."

The voice gradually lowered, and the whirlpool formed by the blood-colored flames went out.

...

"Knock, knock..."

The door was knocked twice, and Grandma's voice came into the bedroom: "Yuanzi, it's time for dinner."

There was a bit of lightness in her tone, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes. The bedroom was pitch-black, and the curtains blocked the light outside.

It's so comfortable. The consumption during the day has finally been made up for. It's a pity that the moon is rarely seen in Songhai. Otherwise, it would be perfect to bask in the moonlight... Zhang Yuanqing yawned, put on his cotton slippers, turned the doorknob of the bedroom, and came to the living room.

A strong aroma wafted into his nostrils. The dining table was filled with dishes, such as sweet and sour pork, braised pork, Peking duck, black-bone chicken soup, asparagus, spring bamboo shoots, and so on.

Grandma was wearing an apron and running back and forth between the living room and the kitchen.

His cousin was helping in the kitchen.

Grandpa with white hair was sitting on the sofa in the living room, sitting upright and watching TV intently.

A middle-aged couple was sitting at the dining table, and they were Zhang Yuanqing's uncle and aunt.

His aunt had delicate features and fair skin. Although she was no longer young, she was well-maintained. She was wearing a white dress with a cinched waist, and her hair was draped in waves. There was a hint of coquettishness between her eyebrows and eyes.

The man beside his aunt had facial features quite similar to Chen Yuanjun's. He was wearing a purple suit, purple slim-fit pants, a rose-colored shirt, and was as flashy as a nightclub host, no, a nightclub master.

Zhang Yuanqing's uncle was unreliable. When he was young, he played in a band. He said he wanted to pursue his dreams and yearned for poetry and the distance. So he carried a backpack, wore flared pants, and ran away from home with a few "like-minded" friends to become a wandering singer.

A few years later, he didn't find his dreams. He came back bruised and battered by society. He didn't go out to work either. He carried a tape recorder around all day and acted like a loafer. He would dance wherever he went. He was either singing karaoke all day or hanging out with his cronies.

Of course, young people in the city were like this in that era. They just fooled around.

Because he was good-looking and could talk nicely, he married his aunt who came from a well-off family. After getting married, he really settled down for a few years. But after his aunt gave birth to his cousin, he soon revealed his true colors.

He was idle all day long. Anyway, he didn't work. He just played around.

"Yuanzi, have you missed your uncle?" Uncle was very happy to see his heir.

Uncle liked singing, dancing, and rapping. His favorite song was "Yo yo, check it out. A jianbing guozi, please," and he would match it with his self-created dance.

Except for Zhang Yuanqing in the family, no one was willing to accompany him to sing, rap, and dance awkwardly.

So Uncle attached great importance to Zhang Yuanqing and regarded him as his heir.

"Aunt!" Zhang Yuanqing greeted her and then responded to Uncle perfunctorily.

"Uncle brought you a gift back." Uncle said.

"Oh, my dear uncle, you're finally back. Why didn't you tell me in advance? If you had told me in advance, I would definitely have gone to the airport to pick you up. God will be my witness."

Zhang Yuanqing's attitude took a big turn to express his strong emotions.

The uncle and nephew laughed and shook hands, bumped shoulders. Uncle put his arm around the shoulder of his heir and sat down: "Yuanzi, I've been traveling abroad recently. I specifically went to learn rapping skills from the chimpanzees. When we sing, we should add tongue-twisting and lip-quivering. This will make it more imposing..."

I know about tongue-twisting, but what the hell is lip-quivering... Zhang Yuanqing was dumbfounded. "Amazing. You're really my uncle. You have amazing talent. Uncle, I'm short of pocket money recently."

"No problem. Your aunt has money. I'll ask her to give it to you later."

Soon, his cousin and Grandma brought the last few plates of dishes and invited everyone to have dinner.

"Why didn't my aunt come back?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"She said there was something going on at the hospital and she would be back later." Grandma replied.

Uncle raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Something going on at the hospital? Is she on a date with her boyfriend?"

Grandma sneered, "Then I really thank heaven. Looking at her, she won't get married until she's 30. What's wrong with young people nowadays? One after another, they don't want to get married."

Grandma was very dissatisfied with this world.

Uncle then said, "Come to think of it, Yuanjun is still single. Yuanjun, bring your boyfriend back someday and let Dad take a look."

The serious and steady cousin was stunned for a moment. "What?"

Uncle shrugged, "You're already 30 and still don't have a girlfriend. Then Dad can only look forward to a boyfriend."

As soon as he finished speaking, Grandma rolled up her sleeves and was about to teach Uncle a lesson.

"Mom, Mom, I'm just kidding." Uncle quickly stopped her. "Why don't you have any sense of humor? Forming male couples is popular now. Young people really like this kind of thing."

Aunt bowed her head and ate without saying a word.

She didn't have a good relationship with her mother-in-law. There were rarely harmonious relationships between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the world.

Grandma had a hot temper, and Aunt had a strong personality. One thought the daughter-in-law couldn't do housework, and the other thought the mother-in-law meddled too much.

When Zhang Yuanqing was still young, Aunt and Grandma often quarreled. Whenever they had a fight, his little aunt would watch the show while munching on melon seeds.

Zhang Yuanqing would try to mediate the fight. He would say, "Stop arguing, please," while taking melon seeds from his little aunt's hand.

His cousin usually did his homework while munching on his little aunt's melon seeds.

Now Aunt had passed the impulsive age and was too lazy to argue with her mother-in-law anymore, but their relationship was still lukewarm.

At this time, his cousin looked over and said, "I heard something happened at your school today?"

"Ah? I don't know. I came back early to sleep..." Zhang Yuanqing pretended not to know.

Grandma quickly asked what had happened. Chen Yuanjun briefly explained. After hearing that a criminal had sneaked into the school, Grandma was even more dissatisfied with this world.

Just as they were talking, there was a "beep" sound from the anti-theft door, and then the doorknob was turned.

Zhang Yuanqing, who was sitting at the end of the table and close to the entrance, turned his head and saw that his little aunt was back.

Little aunt's outfit today was a one-shoulder hollowed-out sweater, revealing her round and fair shoulders. She was wearing a black camisole underneath. Her pants were light white jeans for spring and summer, and she was wearing a pair of small white shoes on her feet.

Zhang Yuanqing's gaze stopped at the position of her calf, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Hanging on Jiang Yu'er's calf was a chubby little baby.
