"Of course not. The Master does not permit us to do such things."
"Master? Who is your Master?
Then aren't you liberated by coming here?
You should be happy.
Why do you still hate Yangzi so much?"
"It's not something I can explain to you.
From now on, I can only be with you sisters. There's no thinking of going back."
Ye Zi said while eating.
The little bit of beef from last night hadn't been enough to fill her stomach.
It could only be considered a snack.
Today, she needed to eat a proper meal.
And honestly, the food in this world was truly delicious.
Ye Zi's words brought a shock to the women present, completely refreshing their worldview.
They had never imagined that such existences could be found in the outside world. Ye Zi could be considered an extraterrestrial life form.
A bona fide alien.
And so beautiful, with all the right curves in all the right places, her willow-like waist seemed like it could be snapped with a single grip.
What was most infuriating was that she was so young, younger than all the women present.
What is a baby face with a voluptuous figure? This was it.
The women felt a pang of envy. No wonder there was such commotion last night, disturbing the sleep of several of them.
"Sisters, let's go. We can all go back home now." Li Minxi said, waving her hand.
"What's wrong? Little Xi Jie?" Guo Yiyang asked, grabbing Li Minxi's hand.
"Haven't you seen Yangzi's eyes? They're entirely on Ye Zi.
What's left for us? Let's go, everyone go back."
Guo Xuyang ignored Li Minxi's sarcastic tone.
He was currently devouring the lamb soup from the thermos.
Nothing else mattered right now; the priority was to fill his stomach.
The two fierce battles yesterday had taken a tremendous toll on his stamina. He hadn't expected Ye Zi to be so formidable.
"I have to go to the capital tomorrow. If you're going back, I can take you along." Guo Xuyang said after a burp, wiping his mouth.
"To the capital? What for?
Brother Hui is getting married soon, why are you going to the capital?" Li Minxi was stunned by this.
"I have business. President Jiang called me.
You said you wanted to go back, I can take you with me."
"I'm not going back. I still have important matters to attend to."
"Important matters? You have important matters? This is the first time I've heard such a thing, like a young lady getting married."
"Aren't the decorations for Brother Hui's new house and the hotel important matters?
What do you remember? You were just too preoccupied with carnal desires."
Guo Xuyang was speechless. He couldn't do anything about this kind of woman.
She dared to say anything and didn't hold back at all.
It was she who had previously said she would consume him and then discard him.
"Well, since you're not going back, perhaps you could tidy up this courtyard too.
My parents will be coming over then." Guo Xuyang said, rubbing his nose.
"Auntie is coming? When are they coming? Do I need to pick them up?" Li Minxi asked.
"She doesn't know you, so why would you pick her up? Just tidy up this courtyard.
I've spoken to President Cheng about the swimming pool in the back.
I've asked him to arrange for green carpets to be laid over the cover, and to buy some frost-resistant green plants and some fake trees.
Have your people tidy it up when the time comes."
"This is our profession, you don't need to worry about it. Just wait to see the results."
"Decorate the villa on the west side as well. If it's necessary, relatives attending the wedding can rest upstairs."
"There are raw stones and security inside, wouldn't that be inappropriate?" Xiao Yun said.
"What's inappropriate about it? Just lock up all the raw stones then.
By the way, why don't I see President Wu and Fatty today?"
"President Pi and President Wu have gone to the Jinbaolai Jade specialty store. They said they wanted to see how business is there." Xiao Yun replied.
"I see. You and Xia Li go to the King's Villa in a bit, see if Old Xu has finished carving. Isn't today the fifth day of the Lunar New Year?"
"Are you confused? Today is the fourth day." Li Minxi corrected him.
"I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days, so I genuinely forgot what day it is.
The fourth day is even better, there's still time. I was afraid I wouldn't make it back in time for the capital."
"Arrange for people to tidy up the courtyard, and you few go buy some clothes.
You need to look presentable then, so your future mothers-in-law can have a good look."
"You're just dreaming! Auntie will probably spank you and slap your mouth, for always being a philanderer." Li Minxi retorted.
"My mother will be overjoyed. If she really had such a group of beautiful daughters-in-law, she'd be smiling from ear to ear every day."
"Who's your daughter-in-law? You're so annoying." Li Minxi, in a rare display of girlish shyness.
"What? You disagree? Xiao Yun and the others are already lining up."
"How dare you?" Li Minxi roared like a tigress. Seeing everyone looking at her, she stamped her foot.
"You only know how to bully me."
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Get to work.
Ye Zi, from now on, you'll be active with Xiao Yun and Xia Li.
I still need to get you an ID card, so don't wander off for now."
Guo Xuyang said as he moved aside and made a call to Xiao Yu.
"Captain Xiao, I need your help with something."
"What is it?" Xiao Yu's somewhat tired voice came through the phone.
"I have a girl here who doesn't have an ID card, and I'd like your help processing it."
"What's the specific situation? Tell me in detail. What's her name? How old is she? Where is she from?"
"Her name is Ye Zi, she's twenty years old. I can't provide any other information, it's similar to Guo Yiyang's situation.
Brother Liang used to find people to help with these things.
He's not here now, and besides you, I don't know anyone else who can help with this."
"Where did you kidnap this one from?"
"I didn't kidnap her. She followed me herself, you've met her."
"I have. Which one?"
"The mermaid from that world. The one you and Xiao Yun met for the first time."
"How did she follow you? Is she planning to harm you? Do you need me to bring people over?"
"It's hard to explain this in a few words.
She can't go back after coming to our world, so we need to find her an identity.
For now, I've asked her to stay with Xiao Yun and Xia Li, so she can get used to our living environment here."
"Alright. I'll get it done as soon as possible. Make sure you don't let her hurt Xiao Yun and the others."
"It's fine. They are united now and are presenting a united front."
"United front? Against whom? Me?"
"Who else besides me? Alright, I have some things to do here, I'll talk to you later."
"I'll contact you when it's done. Goodbye." Xiao Yu hung up the phone and muttered—
Scumbag.
There was nothing Guo Xuyang could do; he would never escape this label in his life.
The little good impression Xiao Yu had of Guo Xuyang was slowly disappearing.
She didn't want to be involved in the swarm of women around Guo Xuyang anymore.
She just wondered how Lv Liang was doing.
Since Ye Zi could follow, Lv Liang must be able to return as well.
