Chapter 496: Chapter 0496: Do I Need Your Consent?
"Dragon Lady..." Xuanjizi greeted the woman with a face full of respect and courtesy.
"Senior Xuanjizi," the woman responded courteously and then turned her gaze to Ye Xunhuan. "Marshal, could you do me a favor?"
Ye Xunhuan let out a sigh from his mouth and glanced at the Night Hawk in his hand, then threw it out as if it were trash!
"Dare to talk nonsense in front of me again, and she can’t save you!" Ye Xunhuan coldly warned Night Hawk.
Night Hawk did not speak, but his gaze swept over Ye Xunhuan with sheer malice, clearly filled with hatred towards Ye Xunhuan!
Seeing Ye Xunhuan release Night Hawk, the woman’s face showed a slight smile. "Thank you!"
"They..."
"Senior Xuanjizi, take your people and leave. You don’t need to interfere with the Hellfire mercenaries; I’ll handle it!"
"Okay!" Xuanjizi agreed without any hesitation.
Deep down, Xuanjizi did not want to be an enemy of Ye Xunhuan, nor did he want to engage in a fight with Ye Xunhuan. This guy was simply too terrifying. Now that Dragon Lady was willing to intervene, he had no reason to interfere.
Moreover, Dragon Lady’s status within Hidden Dragon was much higher than his. Even if something happened at that time, it wouldn’t involve him.
Xuanjizi was ready to withdraw, but upon hearing Dragon Lady’s words, Night Hawk immediately said, "Dragon Lady, are you really going to let him bring the people of Hellfire in..."
"Night Hawk, do you want to stop him?" Dragon Lady said indifferently. "Since that’s the case, you make your move; however, if you die, don’t blame anyone of us!"
Upon hearing Dragon Lady’s words, Night Hawk’s face immediately turned the color of a pig’s liver. Stopping Ye Xunhuan was like courting death!
The sense of oppression and the feeling of death that Ye Xunhuan had just brought him, he had not forgotten.
He had only dared to speak out because he saw Dragon Lady appear; otherwise, he would definitely not dare. But who knew that Dragon Lady had no intention of taking action at all.
"Senior Xuanjizi, take everyone back," Dragon Lady said, neither light nor heavy. "Since the Marshal has said that he can restrain them, he will certainly restrain them. They won’t cause trouble here!"
As she spoke, Dragon Lady looked at Ye Xunhuan.
Afterward, Xuanjizi didn’t say anything else and directly led everyone to retreat.
Once Xuanjizi and the others had all left, Xiao Jiu immediately walked toward Dragon Lady, his face wearing a fawning smile. "Sister Qingcheng!"
Qingcheng!
Yes, the Dragon Lady in Hidden Dragon was Liu Qingcheng, the Empress!
In Huaxia, she was Dragon Lady, Liu Qingcheng, the nation’s sharp blade. In the underworld, wearing a mask, she was the infamous Empress who made countless people wary!
Liu Qingcheng glanced at Xiao Jiu. "You’re doing quite well, Xiao Jiu!"
Xiao Jiu chuckled and scratched his head. "Sister Qingcheng, stop teasing me!"
"Alright, Xiao Jiu, you go back with the others first. I’ll come to find you later!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Everyone, come out!"
No sooner had Ye Xunhuan’s words fallen than nine people emerged from the darkness!
Seven men and two women!
All of them were dressed very modernly, looking like foreign friends, with no sign of any dangerous aura on their bodies!
"King, Hellfire mercenary squad leader Frank, with all the team members, reporting to you!" The first Caucasian to reach Ye Xunhuan’s side, full of respect and admiration, immediately bowed and said to Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan chuckled softly, "There aren’t so many rules here. It’s been a long day for you; follow my friend Xiao Jiu back for some rest. I’ll come see you later!"
Frank knew it was not the time to talk with Ye Xunhuan, so he did not say much but left with Xiao Jiu.
After Frank and his group had left, Ye Xunhuan turned to Liu Qingcheng and inquired, "Had you arrived earlier?"
"Not really, I just got here and saw you in action," Liu Qingcheng replied quietly. "But you have improved a lot, not killing people willy-nilly anymore. That’s a nice change!"
Ye Xunhuan laughed, "You make it sound like I was an executioner!"
"You were a butcher!"
Ye Xunhuan smiled again, "Aren’t you afraid that the people of the Hidden Dragon will have opinions about you helping me like this?"
"They seem to have been dissatisfied with me for a while," Liu Qingcheng said nonchalantly. "But what does that matter? Moreover, I quite enjoy seeing them annoyed at me yet unable to do anything about it!"
Ye Xunhuan was at a loss for words!
"You requested them to protect Qiu Ruoxi, right?" Liu Qingcheng asked faintly.
Ye Xunhuan nodded, not hiding anything, "Yes, Qi Jieyu seems to have hired mercenaries, and I was a bit worried, so I had Herd send some people over."
"Do you have any news?"
Liu Qingcheng, aware that Ye Xunhuan was asking about Qi Jieyu hiring mercenaries, shook her head, "No clues at all, perhaps this group of mercenaries isn’t within our strict monitoring range!"
"Of course, we cannot rule out that the other side’s tactics are very cunning, eluding us."
Ye Xunhuan could understand, as after all, the Hidden Dragon was just an organization, unable to monitor everywhere.
"By the way, about the incident with the Mysterious Stone last time, what was going on with the Hidden Dragon? I heard from Wu Mei that you were attacked?"
Liu Qingcheng chuckled softly, "No, that was just a rumor I let out. I had moved the people of the Hidden Dragon elsewhere, so they weren’t there!"
"You weren’t deceived too, were you?" no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
"I just knew that the Hidden Dragon couldn’t be on the decline!" Ye Xunhuan’s face showed a look of realization. "But weren’t you afraid that if He Luo really appeared, the situation would become uncontrollable?"
Liu Qingcheng shook her head, "It looks like you haven’t used your brain for a long time!"
"What do you mean?"
"The Hidden Dragon has secretly killed a lot of people. Otherwise, do you think there would be only a few of them?" Liu Qingcheng explained. "At that time, with you, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi, and me there, the situation was absolutely under control, so there was no need for the Hidden Dragon’s personnel to get involved!"
"Besides, your identity is too sensitive!"
Ye Xunhuan, seeming to understand why Liu Qingcheng had acted as she did, said gratefully, "Thank you!"
"Alright, it’s getting late, I’ll head back first. Your people are still waiting for you!"
"Be careful, and contact me if you need anything!"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t say more and turned to leave the place.
Not long after Ye Xunhuan had left, Xuan Jizi and Night Hawk hurriedly came to Liu Qingcheng’s side.
"Dragon lady, what do you mean by letting Hellfire’s people station in Huaxia? Don’t you know how dangerous they are?" Night Hawk immediately questioned Liu Qingcheng angrily.
Upon hearing Night Hawk’s angry question, Liu Qingcheng’s beautiful face slightly stiffened, and her phoenix eyes shot out a fierce light: "Do I need your approval for what I do?"
