Chapter 656 - The Suspicion of a Pig Teammate

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“There’s such a thing?” Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect such a thing. She was curious about that Banxia, but the d*mn Long Xi had snatched it away. He was really her nemesis.

“There are many things like this in the Ouyang family. If you let your godly doctor study something that even the Nine-Tailed Snake is afraid of, it will definitely be able to help you.”

“Alright, thank you for your kindness. I will think of a way to get it back.”

“You have to be careful. Long Xi is like a mad dog now.”

“Don’t worry, he doesn’t have the ability to hurt me yet...”

After hanging up the phone, 19 was already a little excited. The nemesis of the Nine-Tailed Snake. Just this alone was enough to know that it was effective against the Suoyin Flower Tears. The most important thing now was to get Banxia back.

“I’ll inform Dark 2 and the others right away and get Banxia back as well.”

“Be careful. Save your brother first. I don’t think Long Xi will put that thing in an obvious place. I think he’s still wondering what that thing is. Don’t alert the snake. Save him first.”

“Yes, I understand. I’ll remind Dark 2 to be careful. At least we have to know where he put it. That way, it’ll be easier for us to find it when we need to find it.”

...

No one knew how carefree Shen Xiaoxiao was when speaking. On the other hand, when Long XI opened the box, he saw a black wooden box. It looked extremely mysterious.

When he opened it, there was only a dried flower with a faint fragrance. Could this be considered a mysterious item?

Was there a need to make such a big fuss about it?

This flower looked similar to kapok, but there was nothing outstanding about it. What was this?

Long Xi held the wooden box for a long time, but he still could not understand it. He looked at it again. This box was an antique, and the ebony was quite old. Could it be that he was buying a casket to return a pearl?

It could not be that bad, right?

Since he could not figure it out, Long Xi did not waste his energy to think about it for the time being. He put the dried flower back into the wooden box and finally locked it in the safe.

Long Xi did not know that when he opened the box, the faint fragrance of the flower spread out, and all the snakes within a radius of a hundred miles, no matter how poisonous or small, all shrank back into their holes in fear.

In Southeast Asia, where snakes, insects, rats, and ants were the most common, not a single snake had appeared that night.

...

Long Xi had too many things to do now, and he did not have the energy to spend other time studying what this thing was. He only knew that this thing must have something to do with Shen Xiaoxiao. As long as it had something to do with Shen Xiaoxiao... He wanted to get it.

It was like a child snatching a toy. The more you don’t let me get it, the more I want it. Not only that, I also want to attract your attention, even if you hate me.

Although this idea was very strange, Long Xi did not do it every day. For a time, he was even unable to be in two places at once.

Not only did he have to properly deal with all the relationships in Golden Mountain Corner, he also had to control the remaining forces in the Dark Empire, and finally, he had to deal with the matters in China.

However, he didn’t know what kind of tricks the Jiang family had up their sleeves. They actually took a fancy to his Multi-Treasure Group at this time. He really had no time to spare.

Moreover, Shen Xiaoxiao had also stepped in at this time. This woman really didn’t leave any face when she was ruthless.

Taking advantage of your illness to take your life, this trick was really quick.

However, what made Long Xi curious was that Shen Xiaoxiao had already had a change of heart a long time ago. All the elite forces of the Dark Empire had been taken away by her. Now that she had already stabilized herself, she wasn’t nearly as flustered as he was.

Initially, he had planned to panic both sides. When the time came, he might even be able to fish in troubled waters and attack her, thus obtaining the forces of both sides. He did not expect that she had already made up her mind.

This woman, Shen Xiaoxiao, was becoming more and more difficult to see through.

“Boss, those two have arrived.”

Long Xi raised his eyebrows. They had arrived rather quickly. As soon as this news was spread, two of the Four Hall Masters of the Dark Empire immediately came knocking on their doors. With such speed, he wondered if they would be very surprised when they saw him?

Feng Hao and Huo Gui knew that their expectations had diverged from his after they had stepped into Golden Mountain Corner. The Dark Empire had never touched drugs, so the sudden order to come here was a bit strange.

“Feng Hao, is there a mistake? Are you sure it was Boss’ Obsidian Star who gave the order? Our Dark Empire has never touched such things.”

“The order isn’t wrong. I’m worried that there’s something wrong with those people.”

“There’s something wrong with those people? What do you mean?”

“I don’t know. We’ll find out when we get there. Don’t ask me anymore. I’m feeling annoyed.”

The uneasiness in Feng Hao’s heart grew stronger. He wasn’t as simple as Huo Gui. After the Yun Qi and Lei Lie had betrayed them and chosen Shen Xiaoxiao, the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.

This was especially so after he received the news that Boss’ performance at the banquet was too embarrassing. The Black Emperor of the Dark Empire had lost all his face. If it were not for the fact that they had repeatedly confirmed that the weakling was Yan Kuan... They even suspected that he had been swapped again.

Yan Kuan, Shen Xiaoxiao, and Long Xi had disappeared. They had immediately set out to search for them. However, they had clearly received the news that Yan Kuan had been rescued and returned to the country. Why had Boss suddenly issued an order? They were from the Dark Empire... In the early days, the Dark Empire had made a statement that everything was based on the orders of the Obsidian Star. That was why they had come to Golden Mountain Corner.

Why would someone as smart as Yun Qi and Lei Lie choose a woman? Wasn’t it also because of the Obsidian Star in Shen Xiaoxiao’s hands?

Therefore, no one knew whether their trip here was a blessing or a curse.

The moment they entered the stronghold, even Huo Gui sensed that something was amiss. Feng Hao immediately whispered into Huo Gui’s ear, “You’re too impulsive. No matter who you see and what happens later, don’t speak carelessly. Just follow my instructions.”

“I know. Don’t worry. We still have this bit of tacit understanding. I won’t be vague at critical moments.”

That was the good thing about Huo Gui. He trusted his brother very much at critical moments. Moreover, he was very hot-tempered, and he knew it himself. Therefore, he would not say anything and just do whatever he was told to do.

“D*mn, it’s really him.”

Feng Hao’s guess was indeed correct. He even subconsciously looked at the ring on Long Xi’s hand. Once the Obsidian Star recognized its master, unless the finger was broken or the master died, the ring would never be removed. However, it was not that easy to break the finger. The mysterious Obsidian Star also had the function of protecting its master.

Therefore, even Huo Gui started to guess. Could it be that they had made the wrong choice in the beginning?

Could it be that they had seen through it when they first started?

Because they had been with their Boss for the longest time, they had grown up together. That was why they had believed Yan Kuan when he had told them so many secrets about their childhood. But now, looking at the Obsidian Star.... They were beginning to wonder who was real and who was fake.
