Chapter 208 Extortion Attempts to Target Ye Fox
"Remember to keep your hands and feet clean, so as not to attract Xu Tianran's attention," Ye Nanxiao reminded him.
Xu Tianran is a cunning fellow who is not easy to deal with. It's not worth playing him if you don't have good cards in your hand, especially since Xu Tianran is good at kicking people away after they've served their purpose.
Orange's face darkened, and instead of answering, she fell silent.
Admittedly, Ju Zi's wish is revenge, to kill Duke White Tiger. If Xu Tianran hadn't saved Ju Zi back then, Ju Zi wouldn't be where she is today.
Seeing Ju Zi's unpredictable expression, Ye Nanxiao quickly understood her concerns. "It seems that Ju Zi won't make a move against Xu Tianran until she is completely disappointed in him."
He then changed his tune, saying, "Give him a surprise after you've taken care of it. He might be so happy that the reward could double, since it's a rare metal."
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi raised an eyebrow, swung a purple orange at Ye Nanxiao, and said irritably, "You're obsessed with money, aren't you?"
Hey! Fruit delivered!
Ye Nanxiao caught the purple-skinned orange and naturally put it into his storage ring. He wanted to focus on the plan now and eat it later.
"Gather more information about the Ordinary Alliance, especially about that woman Shangguan Weier. Wait for my news from the Aodu Chamber of Commerce." Ye Nanxiao held up a finger and brought it close to Ju Zi's face.
Orange didn't back down. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you want?"
"I want Shangguan Wei'er alive!" Ye Nanxiao chuckled.
"I didn't realize you were this kind of person," Orange sneered.
"Read more books when you have time, don't let your mind be filled with these bad thoughts. This woman is shrewd, she'll be useful if you keep her around." Ye Nanxiao reached out and flicked Ju Zi on the head.
"Ye Nanxiao!" Ju Zi covered her forehead with one hand and threw dozens of purple-skinned oranges with the other, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
"Good timing!" Ye Nanxiao pulled out a burlap sack and held it in front of him, then packed up the fruit and took it away.
Putting away the sack, Ye Nanxiao took out a soul guide battery.
Ju Zi stared coldly at Ye Nanxiao without asking any questions.
"This thing is called a Soul Guidance Battery. It's my masterpiece, the key to a new era, the greatest invention of this time..."
"Get to the point!" Orange coldly interrupted Ye Nanxiao's self-praise.
"Alright, an important component of the rechargeable soul tool." Ye Nanxiao put down the battery, took out another rechargeable soul tool cannon, opened the magazine, inserted the soul tool battery, closed the magazine door, and handed it to Ju Zi.
"Just like the soul tool you made before, it can be used by commoners without soul power?" Ju Zi examined the soul tool in her hand, gently stroking the cannon with her delicate hand.
"It can even self-destruct. When it runs out of soul power, it can be thrown out as a soul-guided cannonball. It's an essential hidden weapon for home, travel, and killing!" Ye Nanxiao crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and waited for Ju Zi's praise.
"A self-destructing hidden weapon? I haven't trained any suicide soldiers." Upon hearing the word "self-destruct," Ju Zi immediately placed the soul-guided cannon on the experimental table and pushed it towards Ye Nanxiao.
"It's just an insurance policy. You need to keep a close eye on the emperor's condition recently. If necessary, keep him alive." Ye Nanxiao said as he took out a magical herb.
The herb is pale yellow all over, with the largest flower in the center and eight smaller flowers in addition. Each petal grows in one direction, and each flower looks like a small vortex.
"Nine-Heart Rejuvenating Grass, a top-quality healing and nourishing herb. Just crush it and squeeze out the juice. I only have this one precious herb, so remember to use it only when it's absolutely necessary," Ye Nanxiao said with a pained expression.
"Hmm, looks good. Do you have any more? Want some more?" Orange took the Nine Hearts Rejuvenating Grass and held out her hand to Ye Nanxiao. She didn't believe that Ye Nanxiao really only had this one herb.
"?"
Ye Nanxiao looked puzzled. They were extorting money from the extortion leader?
"Ally, I've been staying up quite late lately, how about some herbal remedies to replenish my energy?" Orange said with a smile. "Establishing friendly cooperative interests is part of your plan."
Ye Nanxiao was about to refute, but then realized that Ju Zi was expressing her own opinion, so he reluctantly took out another fairy herb and slapped it into Ju Zi's hand.
"Take it, take it. Remember to watch out for Xu Tianran." Ye Nanxiao turned Ju Zi around and pushed her towards the laboratory door.
"Seven-colored moon orchid, clears the meridians, strengthens bones and muscles, moisturizes the skin, you've got a lot of good stuff, huh?" Orange put away the magical herbs in her hand and slapped Ye Nanxiao's hand away.
"Look, to establish merit in front of the Crown Prince, you need a lot of things. Besides your charged soul tool, you must have other good things, right?" Ju Zi said with a smile, extending her jade hand and raising it towards Ye Nanxiao.
"Here you go!" Ye Nanxiao took out a large box that was two people wide and one person tall and slapped a small booklet into Ju Zi's hand.
"What is it?" Orange flipped through the booklet, and she could understand each word of the various terms on its own.
"I originally planned to keep the floating seat for myself, but you can use it as a wheelchair." Ye Nanxiao covered his face, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe.
"It's alright. Since it's something you plan to keep for yourself, it seems to be a good thing." Orange's eyes curved into crescents, and she was in a great mood. She put away Ye Nanxiao's large box, but her jade hand still lifted it up a little.
Ye Nanxiao's eyes widened immediately. "Are you a glutton or a mythical beast? You want more?"
Orange tilted her head slightly, smiling as she looked at Ye Nanxiao, her palm bent, her thumb and index and middle fingers rubbing back and forth.
"Who taught you that gesture? It wasn't me, was it?" Ye Nanxiao sighed, pounding his chest, as he looked at the "more money" gesture.
"Hmph, I'll have to pay more," Orange said smugly, shaking her little head with her eyes closed.
However, this adorable scene full of girlish liveliness was an extremely terrifying sight in the eyes of Ye Nanxiao, who was born under the sign of Pixiu.
"For the sake of cooperation, for the sake of cooperation, I'll just have to bear with it." Ye Nanxiao sighed, clutching his chest, and quickly searched his storage ring for something he could give away that he wouldn't be too heartbroken about.
"Take it! If you don't have it, I'll give you my life!" Ye Nanxiao slammed an oval white plate onto Ju Zi's hand.
Orange's eyes widened as she smashed a purple orange on Ye Nanxiao's head. Rubbing her hand, she cursed, "Can't you be a little gentler?!"
Ye Nanxiao picked up the purple orange that had been thrown at him and said irritably, "Hurry up and go. Contact me if anything happens. That thing is a defensive soul tool, similar to your invincible shield, but it needs to be charged."
Ju Zi looked at the oval disc in her hand for a while. Even with just a cursory glance, the technology contained in the disc made Ju Zi take a deep look at Ye Nanxiao.
"I'll keep an eye on Xu Tianran. The plan is underway." After saying that, Ju Zi left.
Looking at Ju Zi's stunning figure from behind, Ye Nanxiao muttered to himself, "This business deal is a huge loss. I hope Ju Zi won't let my investment fail."
A clone was created, which quickly disguised itself and released an ice mirror to refract light before leaving.
"I need to go to Mingde Hall. The Shrek Academy tour group will be arriving in Mingdu soon, and then the Hongchen siblings will leave Mingdu." Ye Nanxiao finalized his plan to infiltrate Mingde Hall.
Whether it's the various high-value rare metals in Mingde Hall or the soul tool technology that leads the entire continent, it's all worth Ye Nanxiao going inside to take a look. Not to mention, there's something inside that drives most soul masters crazy.
The soul beast sealed within the Conferred God Platform.
Ye Nanxiao had planned to approach Mingde Hall before, but Meng Hongchen was like a radar, and she would detect him every time he got close to Mingde Hall.
Being discovered by Xiao Hongchen would be better; at most, Xiao Hongchen would drag him into a sparring match with his soul tools, or he would put a sack over Xiao Hongchen and beat him up.
Meng Hongchen, that woman, only lusts after his body. Unfortunately, Ye Nanxiao can't fool this woman. If he runs away, Mingde Hall will become suspicious. If he doesn't run away, Meng Hongchen will drag him around Mingdu for a whole day. At night, this woman even said she was worried about Ye Nanxiao going back alone and wanted him to stay overnight.
Sometimes Ye Nanxiao suspected that Meng Hongchen had installed some kind of tracking device on him, because Meng Hongchen would discover his disguise every time he tried to disguise himself. This made Ye Nanxiao wonder if he hadn't learned the disguise course at Shrek Academy properly.
Left with no other choice, Ye Nanxiao had to postpone his plan to infiltrate Mingde Hall and instead turn his attention to the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
Although the Aodu Chamber of Commerce controls the underground thieves and assassin groups in Mingdu, its own strength is not high, and there is no unity among its members. It is only because the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, An Litong, uses his cultivation level to suppress the dissent.
According to Ye Nanxiao, the Aodu Chamber of Commerce is an egg-themed chamber of commerce that is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
An Litong, the president of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, was only a Title Douluo and had not yet reached the Super Douluo level. He just happened to have a military relative from the Sun Moon Royal Family as his backer.
"If the military is being used as a backdrop, then we can't just bomb it away. We have to pull it up along the vines." Several ideas flashed through Ye Nanxiao's mind, but he rejected them all in the end.
"A Title Douluo? At least, I can't confront one head-on right now," Ye Nanxiao thought, stroking his chin.
"I'm going to create another pseudonym. What should I name it this time?" Ye Nanxiao was struggling to come up with a name.
On the other side, Ju Zi, who had successfully extorted Ye Nanxiao, returned to her palace and immediately summoned her men, dividing them into three groups. One group infiltrated the royal family, another group served the emperor under the guise of the crown prince, and the last group, with the same goal as Ye Nanxiao, spied on the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
"Either uproot it completely, or take it for yourself." Orange's expression was indifferent as she toyed with the oval-shaped plate in her hand, her eyes fixed on it.
After a long while, Orange gently patted her fair forehead and muttered to herself, "I forgot to ask what this thing is called. Since Ye Nanxiao gave it to me, I'll call it Fox."
"The Crown Prince has arrived!" A long shout from outside the door brought Ju Zi back to her senses.
Ju Zi quickly stood up, straightened her wrinkled clothes, and hurried to the courtyard gate to greet Xu Tianran.
Xu Tianran's face was sickly pale, his long hair was casually tied up, he wore a black robe with a white outer garment draped over his shoulders, a blanket was draped over his knees, and he sat on a specially made soul-guided wheelchair being pushed by a maid.
After Xu Tianran entered the courtyard, the maidservant bowed and withdrew.
Ju Zi walked behind Xu Tianran, pushing his wheelchair, and said gently, "Your Highness, what brings you here to Ju Zi's place today?"
Xu Tianran smiled gently and said, "I was tired of reading, so I thought I'd come and visit you."
As Ju Zi pondered, she was unsure of Xu Tianran's true intentions and dared not guess.
Xu Tianran said, "In a few days, the Shrek Academy exchange group will arrive in Mingdu. Please keep a close eye on the Shrek students, especially their promotion of the Soul Master philosophy."
"I understand, Orange." Orange nodded in agreement.
"Mingdetang has been making some moves lately, and the leader's target is probably Ye Nanxiao," Xu Tianran said gently.
Ju Zi was startled. As Xu Tianran's loyal right-hand woman, Ju Zi knew very well how much murderous intent was hidden beneath those gentle words.
Orange took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her fluctuating emotions. At this moment, she became the calm girl hidden deep inside again.
Ju Zi knew very well that Xu Tianran was extremely intelligent and also very cunning; if she wasn't careful, he would become suspicious.
After thinking for a moment, Ju Zi cautiously said, "Ye Nanxiao and the siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen are on good terms, and Meng Hongchen has shown great interest in Ye Nanxiao. Moreover, neither of the siblings is hostile towards Ye Nanxiao, who is a student of Shrek Academy. The hall master may have taken a liking to Ye Nanxiao's extremely high talent in soul tools."
Xu Tianran tapped the handle of his wheelchair lightly with his right index finger and said, "A person who can gain the attention of the Hall Master must be someone important, Orange."
"Is this a move to target Ye Nanxiao?" Orange's emotions, which had just calmed down, began to surge again.
