The night is deep and dotted with stars.
Under the cover of night, a figure stalked quickly like a ghost.
He seemed to be extremely familiar with the surrounding environment, walking through every alley and climbing over every low wall with ease.
Until a certain moment, the black figure suddenly stopped, and a helpless voice slowly sounded.
"Come out."
Not long after, a small figure appeared on the courtyard wall.
With the dim starlight, you can see this small figure, which is a wild cat with shiny hair.
It's just a lot bigger than an ordinary wild cat.
This wild cat's eyes emit a green light, which looks extremely weird in the night and makes people shudder.
"If you don't just stay at home, what are you doing here?"
The voice continued to sound under the black robe.
「Meow~」
The bone-clawed cat demon let out a soft cry, jumped up, and jumped directly towards the figure.
"Okay, but you'd better be honest and don't cause trouble."
Fang Chen said: "Otherwise, I'll be rude to you."
"Meow, meow, meow!"
The bone-clawed cat demon nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, looking extremely well-behaved.
Fang Chen looked around and saw that no one noticed him. He swayed, disappeared into the darkness again, and left quickly.
Half an hour later, Fang Chen changed routes in several directions before arriving at the entrance of a small courtyard.
Just as Fang Chen was about to knock on the door, a magnetic voice came from the courtyard.
"The door is unlocked, come in."
Hearing this voice, Fang Chen took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
In the courtyard, there is a table, a chair and a tree.
It looks like it is similar to Fang Chen’s own small courtyard, but it is in two different directions.
At this time, a woman was sitting under the tree.
Wearing a purple cheongsam and holding an embroidered fan.
The tassels on the fan handle swayed gently as the slender jade hand shook.
As for the woman's other hand, she was pouring water to make tea.
This woman is the auctioneer whom I met at Zijin Auction House during the day, and is known as the commercial queen of Qingzhou City—Egret.
"Brother Fang Chen, come and sit."
Seeing Fang Chen standing at the door, the corner of the egret's mouth lifted into a smile from the bottom of his heart.
Fang Chen closed the door and did not approach, but looked at the egret in front of him.
"What? Are you afraid that your sister will eat you?"
Seeing Fang Chen standing still, the egret scolded, seeming displeased.
She changed her posture, with her two slender legs stretched out over each other.
Standing where Fang Chen is, you can see the slit of the cheongsam, which goes straight into the thigh, forming a mysterious and alluring gap.
However, Fang Chen was expressionless and unmoved.
With vigilant eyes, he looked around without any trace.
"Don't worry, I'm the only one, sister."
The egret seemed to have seen through Fang Chen's thoughts, and curled his red lips, making him even more displeased.
"Come here, sit down!"
Different from before, this time the egret's tone was more commanding.
Fang Chen slowly walked towards the stone table and sat down in front of the egret.
Have a taste.
The egret picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to Fang Chen. She looked at Fang Chen with a pair of peach blossom eyes and said with a smile, "This is a good tea specially brought by my sister. Don't be disrespectful."
That delicate touch clearly makes people nostalgic and obsessed with it, but it only makes Fang Chen feel fearful.
Fang Chen took a sip of tea without revealing any traces. While swallowing it, he wrapped it with the Earth Core Dragon Flame, which seemed to be overly cautious.
"How is it?"
Egret leaned forward, propped up his chin, and looked at Fang Chen expectantly.
“Not bad.”
Fang Chenyan nodded insincerely.
"Tea is good, or sister is good."
Egret's peach-blossom eyes blinked slightly, and his smile became even wider.
Now that the new person is better than the old person, why should he be asked to take charge of things? "
Bailuyu clenched his fists against his chest, made a hurt expression, and said with a resentful face: "Brother Fang Chen, you really hurt my sister's heart."
Seeing Bailu like this, even the most hard-hearted people have to soften their hearts.
Fang Chen said in a dumbfounded voice: "Boss Bai, I was ignorant and didn't know your identity. Please forgive me."
Who would have thought that the head of the Zijin Chamber of Commerce in front of him, the business queen of Qingzhou City, would actually dress up as a bounty hunter and enter the Derivative Mountains to hunt monsters.
At that time, Fang Chen happened to be chasing a monster beast and met the egret. The two of them joined forces to kill the monster beast.
But Fang Chen never thought that the egret would poison the water, food, or even himself.
Although the poison was unknown, it was extremely itchy and made Fang Chen suffer a lot.
The reason why the egret did this was just to swallow up the monster beast.
Therefore, when Fang Chen saw the egret again at the Zijin auction, he seemed surprised and surprised.
He saw the egret tonight, of course, because he had a reason to come.
But you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must not have the intention to guard against others.
"Pfft!"
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the egret couldn't help laughing.
As if he felt that this action was not ladylike enough, Bailu quickly covered his face with a fan and rolled his peach-blossom eyes at Fang Chen.
"Sister didn't know at the beginning that you, little bastard, were really the eldest son of the Fang family, and thought..."
Said Bailu, he glared at Fang Chen, with an indescribable emotion flashing in his eyes.
Fang Chen also touched his nose in embarrassment.
Who knows, that damn monster would actually get into the water, causing him to encounter the egret taking a bath.
, My sister has been sad about this for a long time, but who would have thought that in just three years, you would have become a blockbuster without even complaining."
Egret narrowed his eyes and said: "Even the Sirius mercenary group was tricked by you, losing troops and generals, and suffered heavy losses. An ordinary person would not be able to do this."
This incident, each one, even Egret found it incredible.
"It's all luck."
Fang Chen said: "Compared with Bai Guanshi, it's nothing."
Others only regard it as an egret, a vase that can only make money.
But only Fang Chen knew that three years ago, Bailu's strength had reached an incredible level.
They stayed in the mountains for nearly half a month.
Fang Chen saw with his own eyes that the egret killed a fourth-level monster with just one move.
Three years have passed, and Bailu's strength has grown to such an extent that even Fang Chen can't see through it.
But at least, he will not be weaker than the head of each family.
"Okay, let's stop flattering each other."
Egret put away his smile, his expression became serious, and said: "My sister asked you to come here tonight because I have something to ask for."
"Bai Guanshi, I don't understand." You will need my help."
"This is sister's private matter, and it is not easy to borrow the help of the Chamber of Commerce."
Egret raised her long legs and said playfully: "Of course, as long as brother Fang Chen helps me handle this matter, sister will not treat you badly."
Fang Chen said nothing.
What the egret said is certainly not simple.
Fang Chen is already in trouble, and he really doesn't want to cause trouble.
But in the message sent to him during the day, Egret said that he had a secret to tell him.
Fang Chen really wants to know about this matter.
Fang Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "Do I know what Guanshi Bai needs me to do? I need to think about it."
"In fact, the matter is not difficult."
Egret said: " My sister has a shipment that will arrive in Qingzhou City soon, but now it has been targeted. I need your help to hand over this shipment. "
"Who dares to target the Zijin Chamber of Commerce's goods."
Fang Chen frowned.
"Speaking of which, I am still your old friend, brother."
The egret slowly said two words.
「Sirius Mercenary Group?」
Fang Chen was a little surprised and said, "Is the news true?"
"Brother, do you think my sister would use this kind of thing to deceive you?" I won't find you. After all, this cargo is very important to me, sister."
"I need to know all the information."
Fang Chen said: "Including the guards escorting the cargo, and the strength of the Sirius mercenary group."
"The guard is one of mine, one is in the Spiritual Sea Realm, and the rest are in the Tongmai Realm."
Egret said: "The Sirius Mercenary Group will send out a small team, led by the Guardian."
Fang Chen frowned again and said, "Steward Bai, you didn't tell the truth."
A protector of the Sirius Mercenary Group, he is just a cultivator in the Tongmai Realm.
Fang Chen didn't believe that Bailu needed his help.
"Okay."
Egret said: "In addition to this protector, there is also a mysterious strong man who will take action. I believe brother Fang Chen can guess who it is."
"You mean...the breeder?"
Fang Chen's eyes flashed, and his expression became solemn.
That demon feeder is a strong man in the cave heaven realm.
"But Manager Bai thinks too highly of me."
Fang Chen said: "That is a strong man in the cave world, who can also drive monsters to fight. Do you think I can do it?"
"I said you can do it, you can do it."
Fang Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"What? Brother Fang Chen doesn't want to know the whereabouts of your grandfather?"
Seeing Fang Chen's hesitation, Bailu said calmly: "My sister found out this news with great difficulty."
"But how can I trust you."
Fang Chen said: "After all, including this time, we have only met three times."
"Because..."
h Egret looked directly into Fang Chen's eyes and said unhurriedly: "I was the one who told Mr. Fang about the Linglong Immortal Grass."
