Chapter 45: Quarreling Over Trifles (Part 1)

  Yu Huan said slowly, "No, this is not contradictory at all. White Leng indeed controlled the political situation of Irina, but he has not completely eliminated the power of his opponents. Many people, or rather, many families, are only forced to rely on him due to the military strength of White Leng, and they have no choice but to surrender to him. However, in secret, they are all enduring humiliation and waiting for an opportunity to rise again. Feng Xuan is the same, she is the high-ranking queen of Irina, and also one of the beauties on the Jiangshan Absolute Beauty List, being painted by people and having her portrait spread around is a very humiliating thing, even more unbearable than suffering. But she still gritted her teeth and persisted, this shows that she still has hope in her heart, and the desire to survive and seek revenge. Otherwise, she could have chosen to die with dignity. And what exactly is her hope, what is supporting her to have the courage to continue living in that dark palace, will definitely make White Leng very worried."

  Yang Shuangfen listened with a seemingly understanding yet puzzled expression, and after a long while, she subconsciously nodded her head.

  Yu Huan smiled faintly and said, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, lest your face turns red like a monkey's butt. Aren't you deeply opposed to the slave trade? Why did you come here today and even bought hundreds of slaves from Guo Longyang? That's really a big deal! If you want to buy slaves, why didn't you come directly to me? My goods are much better than those street vendors, from the strongest men to the most beautiful women, I have everything." As she spoke, she casually smoothed her raven-black hair, her movements elegant and refined, instantly attracting the attention of passersby, with many people even colliding into each other as they turned to look.

  Yang Shuang's eyes involuntarily fell on Yu Huan-yu, who was still wearing a black leather jacket that accentuated her mature womanly curves and swaying figure. Her full breasts rose and fell in rhythm with her walking, making Yang Shuang feel dry-mouthed and tongue-tied, as if there was an inexplicable fire burning throughout his body. He spoke stiffly: "How do you know all about my affairs?"

  Yu Huan's smile was faint, seemingly aware of Yang Shuangfeng's greedy gaze lingering on her towering chest, but she didn't mind at all. She said casually: "I saw you just went into Guo Longyang's place. Oh, this painting is what Guo Longyang gave to you, no wonder, if it were another man, he would never be willing to give such a painting to you."

  Yang Shuang asked dazedly: "Why?"

  Yu Huan said faintly: "Because he only likes men and doesn't like women."

  Yang Shuangfeng was taken aback, his emotions uncontrollable for a moment.

  Yu Huan-yu smiled again and said lightly, "Every normal man who sees such a painting will absolutely not let it go to others. Of course, they won't show you as obviously as this, but just stare at those two places on the woman. To put it bluntly, you're still young, after playing with several women in the future, you'll gradually get used to it."

  Yang Shuangfeng's face turned red again, and she didn't dare to speak, stuttering. Yu Huanxuan, on the other hand, was completely unbothered by her own straightforwardness, and even her expression didn't change a bit. She pointed at a magnificent building in front of them and said: "Since you're here, I'll take you for a walk around. If you want to buy some better slaves, come here. This is the Grand Hall of Jialande. Don't look down on its appearance; it's actually the high-end slave market."

  Yang Shuangfeng only felt his face burning fiercely, subconsciously following Yu Huaiyuan's back. When he entered the building, he didn't have the mind to look around, but simply followed Yu Huaiyuan's instructions and paid five gold coins as the entrance fee. After entering, he instinctively felt that the interior was very luxurious, but in the subtle details, he had no mind to observe. Since seeing that painting, he has been in a state of confusion, sometimes normal, sometimes confused.

  "Hey, isn't that Miss Su you saved? What is she doing here? Did you two come together?" Yu Huan-yu suddenly said in a strange tone and stopped in her tracks. Yang Shuang-feng, who was following behind her, accidentally bumped into her back, and suddenly a strong feminine scent filled his heart and lungs, making him feel even more restless and infatuated.

  Yang Shuang Feng finally managed to control her emotions, and following the direction of her finger, she saw that among the large crowd of people, Su Yun Ruo's figure stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens, easily recognizable from afar. She was wearing a pure white dress with a pink belt around her waist, a small white rabbit hat on her head, and a pair of white boots on her feet, looking calm and beautiful. By her side were several men surrounding her, eagerly vying for her attention. Among them was a tall and handsome young man in an elegant tailcoat, softly explaining something to Su Yun Ruo. Next to the young man stood a fiery girl dressed entirely in red, with a long sword hanging from her waist, its hilt also bright red, as if fresh blood was about to drip down.

  Yang Shuang's gaze was somewhat deep and cold, staring at Su Yunruo, who seemed to feel the chill of this gaze, and turned back indifferently, only to find it was Yang Shuang, but disdainfully sneered and shifted his gaze, continuing to chat and laugh with the young man in a swallowtail coat.

  "That young man is Xue Yan, also from your Meini region, the new lord of the Xue family in Gan Chuan Dao Zi Lan Fu. He was also sent back to the Meini region." Yu Huan said calmly.

  Yang Shuangfeng's eyes suddenly sank deeply, and he walked over slowly.

  Su Yunru saw him coming over, her face changed slightly, and she wanted to speak but hesitated.

  Xue Fu looked at Yang Suo with a hint of surprise, seemingly guessing his background, but still politely greeted him first.

  "He is... Yang Suofeng, the leader of the Yang family in the Nanhai area of Zichuan Dao."

  Xue Fu immediately smiled very friendly and said with great courtesy: "I've long admired you, Brother Yang was awarded the rank of Navy Lieutenant General? That's really rare, among us, only Brother Yang has such an honor..."

  Yang Shuang's face wore a smile that was not quite a smile, and he said lightly: "I'm just a barefooted naval lieutenant general walking on land, how can I compare to you, a true-to-form army lieutenant general? Oh, right, aren't you going to introduce your beautiful sister to me?"

  Xue Fugan smiled and said, "I thought Brother Yang had come for me, but it seems my sister is the most attractive one after all! How disappointing. Why don't you go talk to my sister yourself, Brother Yang? Maybe that would be better."

  Yang Shuangfen nodded, ignoring Su Yunru's face which was turning pale and then red again. He turned around to look for Xue Siqi. But when he saw her, she didn't even glance at him, yet he heard Su Yunru sniffle unnaturally. Xue Siqi finally looked at Yang Shuangfen, sizing him up from head to toe, and said in an unwelcoming tone: "Who are you?"

  Yang Shuang Feng said faintly: "I was introduced by your brother, my name is Yang Shuang Feng..."

  Before he could finish speaking, Xue Siqi's face turned cold and she swiftly drew her sword, holding it against his neck. "Are you Yang Suofeng?" she asked sternly. "Did you bully my sister Su? Is that true? Is that true?"

  Yang Shuangfeng's face didn't change at all, and he said lightly: "Miss Xue, you misunderstood..."

  Xue Siqi said coldly, "I won't misunderstand! Yang Suofeng, I'm warning you, Su sister likes my brother, not you! I advise you to disappear from my sister's side immediately and never show up again! Get out of here now! Did you hear me?"

  Her voice was loud, immediately attracting the attention of everyone around her. They were all obviously fans of Xue Siqi and they chimed in to help, telling Yang Shuangfeng to leave quickly. Some people even cursed, baring their teeth and wanting to help Xue Siqi beat someone up. Su Yunru's expression was wooden, but a cold smile spread across the corner of Xue Feng's mouth.
