Chapter 594 Preparing to Catch a Big Fish

Chapter 594 Preparing to Catch a Big Fish

Heavenly Soul Empire, Zhengtian City, Ye Family Main Residence.

Ye Nanxiao's consciousness slowly returned, but before he could even open his eyes, a violent wave of dizziness hit him, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

"Oh? You've fainted from hunger, kid?" Elder Xuan suddenly appeared beside Ye Nanxiao and reached out to support him.

"Are you starving? How about trying my newly developed pig intestines? They're made using a brand-new method of being cooked nine times!"

Although he spoke casually, the concern in Elder Xuan's eyes warmed Ye Nanxiao's heart.

"Large intestine? It's not like it's a Nine-Turned Intestine with a bit of original flavor added, is it?" Ye Nanxiao steadied himself, took a deep breath, and stood up.

The cost of merging his spirit into his clone was higher than he had anticipated.

His spiritual power had long since reached a tangible and substantial level, and his spiritual sea was boundless. However, more than two-thirds of it had been drained, which was enough to show how terrifying the consumption of Ye Nanxiao's main spiritual will was when it was connected to his clone.

"Can't you speak in a way that this old man can understand?" Old Xuan looked at Ye Nanxiao's head, barely suppressing the urge to slap him.

"Let's get down to business! What happened to you that made you look so disheveled?" Elder Xuan asked.

"I connected my mental will to my clone. Just now, I left a clone in the Sun Moon Empire. It was my first time connecting mentally, and I wanted to test the limits. So it turned out like what you see here." Ye Nanxiao put his hands on his hips, closed his eyes, and slightly curled the corners of his mouth upward.

Seeing Ye Nanxiao's "I'm so awesome" attitude, Elder Xuan finally couldn't resist and pulled out the chicken leg bone.

"I was wrong!"

Ye Nanxiao sat obediently in front of Elder Xuan, looking exceptionally well-behaved, if one ignored the large bump on his head.

Elder Xuan stroked his gray beard and said, "You were in a meditative state for at least four hours. Judging from your appearance, although you expended a lot of energy, it shouldn't have come at a price you couldn't bear?"

"My mental energy is being depleted quite quickly. I set up a warning in my mind beforehand. When my mental energy reaches the warning point, I will be forced to disconnect to prevent myself from running out of mental energy and collapsing upon returning. In addition, my clone cannot withstand my mental energy descending for an extended period." Ye Nanxiao rubbed the large bump on his head, and the Frozen Flower on his neck glowed faintly, assisting Ye Nanxiao in recovering quickly.

"You're quite the daredevil! You dare to keep using your soul skill to this extent on your first try? But at least this is an insurance policy for you. As long as your clone doesn't perish, you can use the clone to descend into the will of your main body and enter the Sun Moon Empire unnoticed to confront Xu Tianran." Elder Xuan touched the small wine gourd at his waist, and the gloom between his brows dissipated considerably.

His concern about Ye Nanxiao stemmed from the fact that Ye Nanxiao needed to re-enter the Sun Moon Empire. Now that Ye Nanxiao had suddenly mastered the skill of projecting his mental will, it significantly reduced the risk.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the fox doesn't do anything reckless.

Ye Nanxiao stroked his chin, completely oblivious to Elder Xuan's serious gaze, and said, "While clones are certainly more convenient, they are still just aliases. Plus, their combat power is limited, and their personalities are merely clones of mine. There are still some things that might be inconvenient, and I'll still need to do them personally."

As he was speaking, Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt the light above his head being shrouded in a shadow, and then a large hand grabbed his head.

"You little brat, you're a genius at courting death! I'll just have to put up with this for the next few days and keep an eye on your cultivation. When you break through to Soul Douluo, then you can go to the Sun Moon Empire! That way you won't be left behind when I'm on my way out!" Elder Xuan said through gritted teeth, his grip tightening.

"Ouch! O ...

What the hell is this manual version of the headband?!

Ye Nanxiao struggled frantically, but he couldn't break free from Elder Xuan's iron claws.

Just then, Ye Ling Shuang knocked on the door. "Boss, there are some things I'd like you to look into."

The old man, the young man, and Ye Ling Shuang stared at each other, and the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Excuse me, I'll come back later!" Ye Ling Shuang decisively stepped out and closed the door, not even glancing at Ye Nan Xiao, whose head was being pinched.

Ye Nanxiao: "!!"

"Wait!!!!" Ye Nanxiao shouted hurriedly.

"Say it face to face! This is a small matter!"

Xuan Lao released his iron claws and tapped Ye Nanxiao's head with a chicken leg bone.

"Old man, I'm off to play with that kid Shen. You'd better remember to cultivate!"

After Elder Xuan left, Ye Ling Shuang peeked her head out from the crack in the door, her usually cool face now filled with curiosity. "Boss? You're done beating up?"

Ye Nanxiao was immediately speechless. What did he mean by "he's been beaten up"?

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Ye Nanxiao said impatiently.

Ye Ling Shuang squeezed in, holding a list in her hand, and said, "Boss, Yuheng Tower has a huge reputation. Almost all the nobles in the city want to communicate with us. They are even willing to pay money just to see you. I can't make a decision about this."

Ye Nanxiao took the list from Ye Ling Shuang and glanced at it.

"The visiting cards of the eldest daughter of Xuanwu Gate, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and the young mistress of the Cui family... Why are they all from women?" Ye Nanxiao looked up in confusion.

Ye Ling Shuang looked at Ye Nan Xiao with a standard smile on her face. "Why is she a woman? Boss, you can't ask me that."

"I've never shown my face, and Ye Chuan and the others haven't revealed my existence either. Besides, you're the official head of the Ye family. Why would these nobles send their young ladies here so you can get married?" Ye Nanxiao couldn't understand the thought process of these aristocratic families. He had clearly hidden himself very well, and now the Ye family mansion was patrolled in shifts by three teams of Stinging Bees, so even flies couldn't get in.

Upon hearing Ye Nanxiao's words, Ye Ling Shuang was somewhat surprised.

"Does the boss really not understand?" Ye Ling Shuang asked.

"What am I supposed to understand?" Ye Nanxiao stared with dead fish eyes. He wasn't from a prestigious family; he was just a lowly office worker. How could he possibly understand?

Seeing that Ye Nanxiao really didn't understand, Ye Ling Shuang patiently explained, "These aristocratic families are after the boss. Although the boss is well hidden, these families have been established for so many years, so they naturally have ways to deal with it. The purpose of sending out the young ladies is to guess that if the boss is a man, then the young ladies can flirt with him. If the guess is wrong, then the young ladies can approach him under the guise of being women from aristocratic families. In this way, they can deal with both situations."

"This is an open attempt to win them over and curry favor. Even if the other party is an old man, these young ladies have to smile obsequiously."

After hearing this, Ye Nanxiao felt a chill. He disliked the feeling of being schemed against, especially being dragged into the vortex as a trading partner.

After a moment of silence, Ye Nanxiao slammed the list on the table. "They want a piece of Yuheng Tower's pie? Let them come! I'll rip them off until they're completely broke!"

Do they want to forcibly acquire investment in Yuheng Tower?

Let's have a showdown then.

The latest novel is first published here!

Evening.

Upon receiving Ye Ling Shuang's personal reply, the noble families had their young ladies dressed up in their finest attire and selected the most beautiful girls in their families to accompany them as they set off in a grand procession by carriage towards Yuheng Tower.

"Ye Yichuan, can I borrow your face?" Ye Nanxiao put on the newly made disguise mask and casually put a black and white mask on a boy next to him.

"Boss, I don't mind if you use my face, but you absolutely can't go and flirt with those noble ladies! If you succeed, how will I ever be able to go out in public again!" Ye Yichuan, who was standing to the side, said earnestly.

"I know, I know. Besides, this is for serious business! Just say it's the clan leader's order, and that'll be fine, right?" Ye Nanxiao said, sporting the face of a bright-eyed young man.

His youthful face and sparkling eyes even stunned Ye Yichuan, who muttered to himself, "Wow, I can be this handsome! I'll dress like the boss from now on!"

"Come on, Ye Yichuan, it's the boss's eyes that are good-looking. Otherwise, with a face like yours, you'd have a hard time even hooking up with an old lady on the street!" A girl with pigtails standing behind Ye Ling Shuang laughed.

After Ye Ling Shuang reorganized the ten branches of the Ye family, the five branches that were previously neglected have now become Ye Ling Shuang's loyal followers. Ye Yi Chuan and Ye Xuan are Ye Ling Shuang's trusted confidants.

"Alright, the big fish have arrived, time to fish!" Ye Nanxiao followed behind Ye Ling Shuang, just like Ye Yichuan usually did.

One after another, luxuriously decorated carriages followed the road signs and staff into the underground parking lot in an orderly manner.

A group of elegantly made-up young ladies got out of their cars and curiously looked around the underground parking lot.

Greedy Wolf and Stinging Bee crouched in the shadows, watching the dignitaries who alighted from their carriages.

"Using horse-drawn carriages? That's so primitive," Stinging Bee said, shaking his head.

Greedy Wolf had a blade of grass in his mouth, and as he nodded, the grass swayed and danced. "It's not as good as the hoverboard that the old man sweeping the floor in the building uses. This kind of carriage, although it has a defensive core array, is half successful as long as you flip the carriage over."

"In the textbook, there are at least fifteen ways to deal with carriages like this. Although soul tools are not popular in the Heavenly Soul Empire, I wonder if these fat nobles have any life-saving trigger-type protective shields." Stinging Bee idly stretched out a finger and moved it over the vital points of each noble.

"Let's keep up, they've gone up. Hopefully, there'll be a good show tonight. I spent 500 credits to get this position from Fist Tiger, a whole 500 credits! That kid is practically robbing us!" Greedy Wolf said, pursing his lips.

He was originally supposed to lead a patrol at the Ye family's main residence tonight, but Quanhu suddenly approached him and said that the boss was going to deal with the nobles at Yuheng Tower tonight. He offered to exchange positions with Quanhu for 500 credits, and Quanhu would take over the patrol duties.

Tanlang agreed without hesitation. He hated aristocratic families and was eager to witness his boss personally dealing with these people tonight.

So he spent 500 credits to swap positions with Quanhu for tonight.

"Five hundred credits, you're really generous. That's the reward for a level seven mission. I didn't realize you were so rich. You've taken on quite a few missions, haven't you?" Stinging Bee rolled her eyes at Greedy Wolf.

"Stop talking, it'll break my heart! Hurry up and catch up! I need to ask the boss to let us record this with a sphere tonight!"
