Pretending To Be A Boss

Song Que and Tang Xian were both very efficient people.

Song Que promised to return to Baichuan City to help manage it, but he had to go back to the first fortress first to bid farewell to his family.

Tang Xian, worried about Bai Mansheng due to Qing JiuYu being ambushed by the court, decided to visit the mining area.

After both had their journeys planned, they didn't chat for long and began their preparations.

Though Song Que's strength had somewhat recovered, he was ultimately no longer gifted, and Tang Xian arranged for Akasi to escort him.

The distorted system of hundreds of years had caused people inside the Pyramid to develop some habits that were difficult to change.

Without his talents, Tang Xian was certain that Song Que would encounter many troubles.

Having Akasi there to help in secret, he felt more at ease.

What surprised Tang Xian before leaving was that Qiao Shanshan actually raised objections.

And her attitude was very strong.

Her main point was that Song Que still exhibited many strange symptoms that needed observation, and after being weak for so long, he should at least recuperate for a while.

Tang Xian found it amusing, after all, his own royal physician from Shengtang had never been so earnest about anyone.

After Song Que showed a grateful and gentle smile, Qiao Shanshan's blushing face finally convinced Tang Xian— Find exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

This older doctor, two years his senior, was probably longing for love.

In the end, Song Que still left with Akasi.

Tang Xian also took Tang Feiji with him, preparing to head for the mining area.

As he was about to leave, Qing JiuYu wanted to accompany him.

"Tang Xian, I haven't seen Miss Bai for such a long time. Why don't you take me with you?"

If it weren't for Tang Xian holding Tang Xiaojiu, Qing JiuYu would have decided to hook her arm around Tang Xian's neck to annoy Li Xiaoyu, who was glaring beside them.

"I refuse," Tang Xian said.

"Why? Am I not more interesting than Bai?"

Tang Xian said,

"Based on your behavior, I have every reason to believe you're just trying to make trouble for me. Your likely motive is to find it amusing to annoy Bai Mansheng."

Qing JiuYu seductively smiled, not denying it.

Even though Li Xiaoyu's jealousy was greater than Bai Mansheng's, she couldn't stand against Tang Xian's partiality in the end.

It was always Li Xiaoyu who won, which was becoming a bit dull.

So, teasing Bai Mansheng was more entertaining.

Tang Xian paid no mind, gave a few instructions to Li Xiaoyu, and without further delay, left with Tang Feiji for March Marsh.

Tianque Plains.

The Myriad Beasts Realm had been restless lately, with rumors of many powerful creatures being devoured by some unknown terrifying entity, causing a sense of crisis in the lives above purple ranks.

The court also issued a summoning order.

Migrations of beast tides were becoming more frequent, all heading towards several sacred lands of the court.

It seemed like a major action was about to occur, or perhaps they were bracing for something.

The Nvwa Snake clan, on the other hand, remained unchanged, unaffected by these abnormalities.

After the cosmetics plundered from the humans ran out, Bai Mansheng could no longer practice her makeup skills by the stream as before.

Instead, she often stood by the small streams on the Tianque Plains, looking north.

She was a lover of silence, and while artistic men often had varying personalities, most artistic women were similar.

Bai Mansheng had also heard many rumors lately.

About the fox clan.

The fox clan was now waging war in all directions, with many three-tailed and six-tailed foxes being deployed to engage others in the Myriad Beasts Realm.

The three and six-tailed packs were not very strong.

But the new leader of the fox clan showed bravery, subduing many beast clans for the court.

The flames of war ignited in the northern continent, and the court's ambitions grew increasingly apparent.

Many beast species had disappeared. In the Tianque Plains region, not many species remained.

When thinking about this, Bai Mansheng would always frown slightly.

She still disliked Qing JiuYu, but in comparison, Qing JiuYu was much more well-behaved than this new leader of the fox clan.

The current fox clan, inside and out, had gone through a purge. Their aggressiveness was not like that of foxes, but more like wolves.

Fortunately for them, the ceasefire between the fox clan and snake clan was arbitrated by the court.

Thus, the snake clan was spared from the strife.

Every afternoon, Bai Mansheng, like a literary girl, basked in the atmosphere of peaceful times by the stream, pondering various thoughts.

Then, as on several previous occasions, someone arrived uninvited, escorting a self-conceited dragon.

Bai Mansheng glanced over and found that the dragon indeed had grown more and more arrogant.

Strutting as if it had no kin in the world, as if it was the best around.

Tang Xian was curious as well, how Tang Feiji had naturally learned such a walking posture that, in ancient times, would've earned it a beating every time it stepped out.

Could it be that after the Dragon Origin Blood Oath was lifted, it felt free and became even more inflated?

Regardless, Tang Feiji finally stopped its infuriating strut. It couldn't be bothered with the odd conversation of the man and woman, and watched the water by the stream instead.

Upon seeing its reflection in the water, Tang Feiji immediately showed an expression of admiration.

"This big master is really good-looking indeed."

Tang Xian ignored the ego-inflated foolish dragon and approached Bai Mansheng:

"It seems that I can always find you here?"

Bai Mansheng furrowed her brows, looked at Tang Xian, and said:

"The stream is quiet with motions within, time will pass regardless, and watching the water seems to reveal its path. I like it very much."

Without waiting for Tang Xian to respond, Bai Mansheng continued:

"Where has Qing JiuYu gone?"

Tang Xian gave a bitter smile.

He roughly knew the direction the conversation was heading.

"I rescued her and arranged for her to go elsewhere."

"Elsewhere to where?"
