Chapter 233 Orange's Decision
Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, Soul Guidance Experiment Zone, Third Experiment Joint Zone.
Jing Ziyan handed a glass of water to Ye Nanxiao.
Reaching out to take the cool boiled water, Ye Nanxiao curiously surveyed the interior layout, remarking as he did so, "I never imagined Jing Ziyan, you're both a wealthy young woman and a genius student! You already own your own private laboratory!"
Having been at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy for quite some time, and under the rigorous training of Ju Zi, Ye Nanxiao had basically memorized the important areas of the academy.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy has three important experimental zones, each consisting of hundreds of laboratories of varying sizes.
Only the most outstanding students are granted a private laboratory to conduct their own research on soul tools.
Faced with Ye Nanxiao's praise, Jing Ziyan smiled slightly and looked tenderly at Ji Juechen, who was sitting to the side meditating with his sword in his arms.
"Ah Chen likes quiet, and he just happened to have enough credits and achievements to exchange for a small laboratory, so he simply changed it. I also don't like overly noisy environments," Jing Ziyan said with a smile.
Ye Nanxiao blinked, and suddenly felt something being forcibly stuffed into his mouth.
Noticing the expression on Ye Nanxiao's face, Ji Juechen, who was wiping the iron sword in his hand, couldn't help but feel amused, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Jing Ziyan went inside the laboratory to prepare some snacks.
She has transformed this small laboratory into a structure similar to Xuan Ziwen's research-obsessed villa.
"You're really lucky, kid. Not only do you practice swordsmanship all day, but you also have someone who's willing to take care of you." Ye Nanxiao spat out the dog food in his mouth and joked.
Upon hearing this, Ji Juechen stopped wiping his hands, looked up, and asked in confusion, "Admitted? What are you impressed by?"
Holding the glass of cool boiled water in his hand, Ye Nanxiao took a small sip, forgetting that Ji Juechen was a person with negative emotional intelligence.
Ignoring Ji Juechen's expression, which seemed to be trying to find out the truth, Ye Nanxiao took out two documents from his storage ring and placed them on a small table.
Ji Juechen glanced at it once and then looked away, continuing to wipe the iron sword in his hand.
Ye Nanxiao had anticipated Ji Juechen's reaction, understanding that this guy's mind was full of swords.
Jing Ziyan placed a plate of snacks on the small table and reached out to take two documents.
After casually glancing at the contents, Jing Ziyan was slightly shocked.
Ye Nanxiao's offer is several times more than what she currently receives. The key is that she is now a Level 2 Researcher, and the amount of rare metals she can obtain each month is not a small sum.
The treatment Ye Nanxiao offered was very sincere.
"This is no small sum, Ye Nanxiao," Jing Ziyan said with a smile as she placed the documents back on the small table.
Ye Nanxiao took out a purple-skinned orange, and while eating it, he turned his gaze to Ji Juechen.
He understood that although Jing Ziyan was the owner of this small laboratory, Ji Juechen was actually in charge.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's actions, Jing Ziyan blushed slightly, then turned her gaze back to Ji Juechen.
"Ah Chen, what do you think?" Jing Ziyan asked.
Remembering what Ye Nanxiao had promised him, Ji Juechen didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded, saying, "I'll join."
For a sword fanatic, as long as it can help his sword cultivation, he would choose to join even if Ye Nanxiao was an unscrupulous businessman.
The moment Ji Juechen finished speaking, Jing Ziyan chimed in, "I'm joining too!"
After successfully recruiting two high-end combatants into the Tang Sect, Ye Nanxiao smiled and took out two more documents from his pocket.
"Since you two have chosen to join, there is a confidential contract here that I would like to share with you."
Upon hearing this, Jing Ziyan looked at the two documents Ye Nanxiao had taken out again, her brows furrowing slightly as she softly read the two large characters on them: "Shadow Flow."
Hidden deep within the underground world of Mingdu.
Orange, dressed in a long black dress, slowly walked into a high-end restaurant. Her beautiful face, adorned with makeup, exuded a gentle and charming aura.
There were only receptionists in black suits and masks in the restaurant; there were no other customers.
Upon seeing Orange, a tall receptionist wearing a bat mask and high heels immediately came to greet her.
"We are waiting for you, sir. My master has been waiting for quite some time." The receptionist's voice was soft and charming, but she deliberately lowered her voice.
Orange glanced at the receptionist but didn't say anything.
The receptionist immediately bent down and led the way, carrying the oranges to the crystal staircase.
As Orange stepped onto the stairs and went up to the second floor, a large number of women wearing crimson protective leather armor poured in.
Faced with the sudden appearance of a large number of Soul Masters, the bat-masked receptionist remained calm and directed the other receptionists in the hall to retreat, while he stayed in the hall himself.
A middle-aged woman with an orange leaf pattern engraved on her chest armor stepped forward and said to the receptionist wearing a bat mask, "Have your people leave. We're taking over this place. Don't have any other ideas, or you won't want to know the consequences."
The middle-aged woman's voice carried an undisguised threat.
The receptionist in the bat mask nodded and patted the door a few times.
Soon, a woman dressed in full-body soul-guided armor walked up to the middle-aged woman and whispered a few words to her.
After looking around and seeing that the other receptionists had all left, the middle-aged woman nodded in satisfaction, waved her hand, and told the team members to take their assigned defensive positions.
The bat host stood quietly to the side, head bowed.
After going up to the second floor, Ju Zi immediately saw a room with its door wide open, and inside the room sat a woman wearing a long gold dress.
The woman had waist-length hair, and her golden dress perfectly accentuated her alluring curves. Her voluptuous figure, slender waist, and ample bosom exuded an irresistible charm.
However, the woman's face was filled with a holy look, like an angel's appearance, which made people feel that they dared not desecrate her.
Ju Zi glanced at the woman, then sat down directly opposite her, her red lips slightly parted. "I wonder what business Alliance Leader Shangguan has with me?"
The woman in the long golden dress was none other than Shangguan Wei'er, the leader of the Ordinary Alliance.
A smile appeared on Shangguan Wei'er's face, her voice as clear and melodious as an orchid in a secluded valley, "Your Highness the Crown Princess is a wise woman, so I won't beat around the bush. Why did Xu Teng dismiss his subordinates, sever all ties, and confine himself to his home? Is it related to Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Xu Teng was an important backer of the Ordinary Alliance within the royal family.
Most of the Ordinary Alliance's business was facilitated by Xu Teng's secret intervention. In return, Shangguan Wei'er had to hand over not only rare metals and gold soul coins, but also send the girls she had painstakingly nurtured to the palace.
Although Xu Teng's appetite was growing, Shangguan Wei'er knew his weaknesses and secretly eroded the resources in his hands. Just when the plan was about to take effect, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.
Ju Zi used incredibly powerful methods to expose Xu Teng's years of secret plans that harmed the interests of the Sun Moon Royal Family. Before the elders of the Sun Moon Royal Family could react, she swiftly crushed the group that Xu Teng had built.
Given the substantial evidence Ju Zi possessed and Xu Tianran's attitude, the elders of the Sun Moon Royal Family could only manage to save Xu Teng's life.
With her plans ruined and her biggest backer gone, Shangguan Wei'er was immediately subjected to fierce attacks from both the Xi Shui Alliance and Ju Zi.
Upon hearing Shangguan Weier's words, a smile appeared on Ju Zi's pretty face, and she said coldly, "What, did you only guess now? Everyone says that Alliance Leader Shangguan is a very clever person, but it seems that he is nothing special."
Despite the orange's mockery, Shangguan Weier showed no anger whatsoever.
Under the barrage of attacks from Ju Zi, she was on the verge of collapse and had no choice but to sue for peace.
"Since that's the case, then I won't say any more. How does Your Highness intend to deal with my Ordinary Alliance?" Shangguan Wei'er placed her hands on her lower abdomen, crossed her long, fair legs, and placed her left leg diagonally over her right.
With every gesture, Shangguan Weier exuded amazing charm, and even Ju Zi couldn't help but take a second look.
"A combination of allure and sanctity, no wonder that fox wanted to deal with this woman himself." A hint of resentment suddenly arose in Orange's heart.
Although Shangguan Weier is very charming, I am not bad either. Why does that fox Ye Nanxiao never show me any mercy?
Cursing Ye Nanxiao in her heart, Ju Zi reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear, then smiled and said, "Since Sect Leader Shangguan is a sensible person, then I will be frank. From now on, the Ordinary Alliance will submit to me and obey His Highness the Crown Prince, and will hand over two-thirds of its rare metals as tribute each time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Wei'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Wei'er has guessed the Crown Princess's purpose, but isn't the Crown Princess's appetite a little too big?"
"Then let's start fighting." After saying that, Orange got up and left without any hesitation.
Seeing that Ju Zi got up and left directly, Shangguan Wei'er was also stunned. She had simulated countless possible outcomes of the negotiation in her mind, but she never expected that Ju Zi would get up and leave directly.
Shangguan Wei'er quickly stood up and called out, "Your Highness, please wait!"
Upon hearing this, Ju Zi stopped in her tracks, turned her back to Shangguan Wei'er, and slightly curled the corners of her lips upward.
The method Ye Nanxiao taught was actually somewhat useful.
At this moment, Shangguan Weier could no longer maintain her calm expression. After a brief struggle, she nodded gently, "Then, please take good care of me, Your Highness. This is a losing proposition for me."
Orange sat back down and placed a document on the crystal table.
Without even glancing at the contents, Shangguan Wei'er directly used her soul power to engrave her name on it.
Orange nodded in satisfaction, put away the documents, and got up to leave.
"The Ordinary Alliance will obey the Crown Princess from now on, but has the Crown Princess ever thought of holding such a sharp knife in her own hands?" Shangguan Wei'er said with a faint smile.
Since she was already under the control of the Crown Prince's faction, she could only secretly sow the seed of disloyalty.
Rather than being a worthless henchman who can only obey orders, it's better to wield a sharp knife.
"Mind your own business!" Orange said coldly, but a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.
Shangguan Wei'er's words stirred something within Ju Zi. Deep-seated hatred fueled Ju Zi's intense desire to gain power.
Watching Ju Zi's departing figure, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Shangguan Wei'er's eyes.
After subduing the Ordinary Alliance, one of the three giants of the Mingdu underworld, Ju Zi immediately went to the Crown Prince's residence to report to Xu Tianran.
Looking at Ju Zi, who was wearing a long black dress and kneeling on the ground, showing off her beautiful curves, Xu Tianran felt a surge of irritation and a hint of hostility flashed in his eyes.
My gaze slowly swept over the slender curves of the orange, taking in the girl's youthful charm.
Listening to Ju Zi's report, Xu Tianran's mind conjured up Shangguan Wei'er's pure and holy face, as well as her fiery curves.
"Ordinary Alliance, has Shangguan Wei'er already agreed to offer rare metals as tribute and obey the royal family? That's not enough. It's not enough until she has complete control!"
Suddenly, a surge of anger arose in his heart, and the physical disability caused Xu Tianran to lose control of his emotions.
"I understand. Do your job. Kill those who need to be killed, discard those that are worthless. Unless it's something major, you don't need to report to me!" Xu Tianran said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Orange stopped reporting, a look of hesitation on her pretty face.
Xu Tianran's sudden change in attitude startled Ju Zi. Knowing the saying that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, Ju Zi stopped reporting on the Ordinary Alliance.
However, a series of actions targeting Shangguan Weier and Xu Teng severely weakened the limited forces available to Ju Zi.
Taking a deep breath, Orange said, "Your Majesty, my squad has suffered some serious losses. Could you please provide some equipment so I can rest and recuperate?"
Xu Tianran's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on Ju Zi's pretty face, his inner heat growing stronger, but his body showed no reaction.
The image of Shangguan Weier flashed through his mind again. Back when he was still healthy, how obedient this woman who drove the entire Mingdu crazy was to him!
"Your Highness?" Orange asked softly.
Hearing Ju Zi's voice, Xu Tianran snapped out of his reverie, glanced at Ju Zi again, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Go down first. We'll arrange this matter later. The most urgent task is to deal with those old guys in the royal family."
Orange was slightly taken aback, a hint of resentment on her pretty face. She understood that Xu Tianran didn't care about the lives of his men at all.
Xu Tianran's icy expression sent a chill down Ju Zi's spine.
"Yes, Ju Zi will take her leave now." Ju Zi suppressed her resentment, bowed, and turned to leave.
She suddenly realized that the power she held in her hands was not enough.
"From now on, the Ordinary Alliance will obey the Crown Princess."
Shangguan Wei'er's voice rang in Ju Zi's ears again.
Hearing the sound of Ju Zi's footsteps fading away, Xu Tianran suddenly opened his eyes, his right hand gripping his prosthetic leg tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, and a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Why! Why do you have to do this to me! Why can't my bloodline continue!" Xu Tianran roared.
The prosthetic limb, specially made by Mingdetang, made a sound of being unable to bear the weight, and was eventually crushed by Xu Tianran.
