Chapter 1662: Chapter 720: Agent Kim: There’s No Man More Handsome Than My Husband! Absolutely Impossible!

“San Miyairi invited me to be her partner to go to Dragon Palace Island!”

The guy with the high ponytail was a good buddy, nothing to hide from him.

Xia Hongyao was directly shocked: “Really?”

“Anyway, that’s what she said!”

Lin Baici could imagine through the phone how surprised the face of the guy with the high ponytail must be.

“But that’s Dragon Palace Island, except for the Dongying people, even those who join their nationality and mixed-blood people are not allowed to go up there.”

Xia Hongyao explained.

Not only the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, but various God Hunter organizations worldwide have tried to land on Dragon Palace Island, but all have failed.

“Most of the top-level people in Dayao are strong ones who returned from trials on Dragon Palace Island!”

Xia Hongyao completely didn’t understand San Miyairi’s behavior: “Doing this will cause public outrage, maybe even the title of Snow Princess will be lost!”

Lin Baici wasn’t going: “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up now!”

Xia Hongyao called sweetly.

Lin Baici was startled; a sporty girl like Xia Hongyao shouldn’t use such a cute voice.

It was very out of place!

“If San Miyairi really can get you atop Dragon Palace Island, you must persuade her to take me along too!”

“If I could go, I’d fetch water for you all to wash your feet, make beds, fold quilts… whatever you say, I’ll do!”

Xia Hongyao’s only passion in life was exploring God’s ruins.

If she really got on that island, she’d be the most striking figure in the Huge Dragon Soul Group…

The most striking gal!

Lin Baici was speechless; Xia Hongyao was really taking risks without regard for consequences.

Hanging up the phone, Lin Baici checked the time, too lazy to go to class, went straight out the school gate, bought some fruits and ingredients at Yonghui Supermarket, and headed straight to the counselor’s house.

As soon as he entered the house, his phone rang.

“Little Bai, when are you coming to the bar to have fun, Aunt Shu misses you so much!”

Nangong Shu’s voice was full of magnetism, so sexy that without even seeing her face, just hearing the voice would make many men stand up.

Lin Baici wanted to inquire about the Sky God Club.

Nangong Shu threatened: “If you don’t come, Aunt Shu will come to your house and spank your bottom!”

After a few more exchanges, they hung up the phone, and feeling bored, Lin Baici cleaned up the place, prepared the ingredients, and got ready to cook a sumptuous dinner to surprise Gu Qingxiang.

But by 6:30, with all dishes prepared, the counselor still hadn’t returned.

Lin Baici made a call.

“Qingxiang, are you working overtime?”

“A friend of mine is heartbroken, I’m comforting her!”

Lin Baici felt a bit disappointed: “Then, you’re busy.”

“By the way, I made dinner for you, heat it and eat it when you get home tonight.”

On the other end, there was silence for a dozen seconds, then a voice came: “I might not be back for a few days, need to stay with her, otherwise I’m afraid she’ll commit suicide!”

Lin Baici was shocked: “Is it that serious?”

After gently advising the counselor a few more things, Lin Baici ended the call, got a bowl of rice, and started eating dinner.

People’s Park, the pavilion halfway up the artificial hill.

The wind blew, bringing a bit of chill.

Gu Qingxiang’s face was cold as she stared at the middle-aged man sitting on the bench opposite the pavilion.

The middle-aged man ignored Gu Qingxiang’s gaze, puffing on a cigarette.

He was dressed in a silk Tang suit, with a golden five-clawed dragon on the front of the jacket, its slow and subtle movements visible if watched closely.

The middle-aged man explained: “I know Haijing is your territory.”

Gu Qingxiang didn’t respond.

“I came to this city because the Dawn Foundation is hosting an auction, and there’s an item I want there!”

The middle-aged man tossed the cigarette butt, crushed it with his cloth shoe, grinding it out.

“To us, those Taboo things are no different than toys, right?”

Gu Qingxiang questioned.

“Indeed, Gods don’t need them, but a friend of mine does!”

The middle-aged man sighed.

Gu Qingxiang understood, the middle-aged man’s friend must be a human, either sick or in trouble, and he needed that Taboo thing to help them.

“What will you do if you can’t get that auction item?” Get full chapters from NoveIＦire.net

Gu Qingxiang was concerned; things the Gods wanted had to be obtained.

“If I said I wouldn’t take action, you wouldn’t believe me either.”

The middle-aged man shrugged: “I can assure you, I’ll only act after the person with the Taboo item leaves Haijing City!”

If he could handle this woman, the middle-aged man would never have said such cowardly words.

The relationship between Gods wasn’t exactly harmonious, which gradually led to an unspoken rule.

And that was avoidance.

If a God arrived in a place first, other Gods would proactively steer clear.

Of course, for bustling metropolises like Haijing, Shangjing, New York, and Hawaii, all the Gods wanted them, so it comes down to a battle of strength.

Over time, any deity who can reside in a big city is a powerful figure.

The young woman in front of him was wearing a cotton dress, a base shirt with a sleeveless sweater, square glasses, and her hair in a braid—she couldn’t look more rustic, yet the middle-aged man in a Tang suit dared not be careless.

“Remember what you said!”

She was annoyed because these deities had made her take time off to deal with this, and now she was even missing Lin Baici’s return home.

Only after Gu Qingxiang left and he no longer felt her presence did the middle-aged man let out a long sigh of relief.

This woman exuded such a powerful sense of oppression!

The middle-aged man’s expression darkened, and he took out another cigarette, lighting it up.

He wasn’t there for the Taboo things; instead, a few like-minded deities planned to use this auction to send a message to those God Hunters.

Deities are here, ruling supreme.

Without a deity’s permission, exploration of God’s ruins was forbidden; using God’s bones for experiments was banned, and all God’s bones must be handed over.

Unexpectedly, the plan hit a snag before it even started.

They wanted to win over the deities living in Haijing, but the most powerful woman was not interested at all and even forbade them from causing trouble.

“Damn, how did she become as foolish as a human after acquiring a human body?”

The middle-aged man took a long drag from the cigarette, the ash falling onto his Tang suit without him bothering to brush it off: “The more humans understand God’s bones, the more knowledge they extract from it.”

“Once those two-footed reptiles fully grasp it, deities will lose their mystery, lose this new-found habitat, and begin to be enslaved by them!”

The middle-aged man thought this Gu Qingxiang was too oblivious to the crisis.

In a hundred years, or even a few decades, deities might no longer have an overwhelming advantage over humans.

“No, I have to find more deities quickly and get them all to join this alliance!”

As the middle-aged man pondered, he suddenly remembered how gently Gu Qingxiang seemed while answering a phone call earlier: “Who was calling her?”

“It must have been a human, but what was their relationship?”

The word ‘lover’ suddenly popped into his mind, but he immediately dismissed it. How could a deity fall in love with a two-footed reptile?

Yet her expression really was gentle just now!

The middle-aged man decided to investigate.

That person might just be Gu Qingxiang’s weakness.

Having resolved the funding issue, Mi Qin returned to the company, humming a tune, and threw herself entirely into her work.

At quitting time, she rubbed her eyes and glanced up.

Why is everyone working so hard?!

Mi Qin looked towards Agent Jin.

The company was just starting up, and everyone was like-minded young people with a bit of equity, so working hard was no problem. But it was strange that Agent Jin, who always left on time, still hadn’t gone.

Mi Qin grabbed her water cup and wandered over to look at Agent Jin’s computer screen.

“Why aren’t you leaving yet?”

Mi Qin took a sip of coffee, noting how adeptly Agent Jin was operating the keyboard!

“I know you take good care of Little Cutie and me, so I decided to work an extra hour every day.”

“Aren’t you going to look for your husband?”

She knew this woman from Goryeo came to Jiuzhou to find her husband.

Agent Jin requested, “So I hope when your company gets on track, you can make up for my extra hours!”

“Not only will I compensate you, but I’ll also give you a raise then!”

Mi Qin laughed; she really meant it and wasn’t just making empty promises.

Agent Jin’s typing had a rhythmic sound.

“You keep saying your husband is super handsome, and today I saw a really handsome guy too!”

Mi Qin turned around, leaned on the desk, and took a sip of coffee.

Among the guys she had seen, Lin Baici might not be the best looking, but his physique was definitely the best.

“No one could be more handsome than my husband! Absolutely impossible!”

Agent Jin pouted, full of disdain.

How could those trashy men compare to my husband?

Even your boyfriend, boss, wouldn’t stand a chance.

“I planned to invite you today, but you turned me down.”

Agent Jin’s constant bragging about her husband had piqued Mi Qin’s curiosity, wanting to compare.

Given that Goryeo excels at cosmetic surgery and there is no shortage of good-looking men, if Agent Jin came to Jiuzhou to find her husband, he must be incredibly handsome, surpassing many boy band idols, right?

Lin Baici could also surpass them.

“Don’t invite me for those social events anymore; I’m only interested in my husband!”

Agent Jin focused straight ahead, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

“When you find your husband, I’ll treat you to dinner!”

If it turns out your husband isn’t as handsome as Lin Baici, I’ll definitely roast him.

Mi Qin felt that since her curiosity had been piqued so high, it would be disappointing if the other man wasn’t stunning.

Mi Qin went back to work.

She helped Agent Jin because she sympathized with her and her sister, and also because Agent Jin was good-looking with a great alcohol tolerance.

Running a company meant unavoidable social engagements, and bringing along Agent Jin could help refuse drinks. Moreover, her looks could make negotiations go twice as smoothly.

At 7 o’clock, Agent Jin left work and rode her newly bought electric scooter home.
