God of Pets

Chapter 649 The lion opens its mouth

Ji Nanhong hadn't slept so soundly and easily in a long time. After waking up, she stretched comfortably, but then felt as if she had bumped into something.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Guan's smiling face and her hand resting on his face.

Ji Nanhong seized the opportunity to grab Chen Guan's ear and said angrily, "Explain yourself clearly, where have you been all this time?"

"This is a complicated explanation, and we have to start from the Supervision Department..." Chen Guan smiled and wanted to explain to Ji Nanhong, but then he heard hurried footsteps outside.

When the guards were changing shifts, they discovered the guard who had been hit by the crippling punch and rushed over.

"Wait a minute." Ji Nanhong realized what had happened and quickly got up and went out the door to reassure the guards.

When Ji Nanhong returned, it was quiet outside, and all the guards had left.

"Won't the techniques used on those bodyguards harm their bodies?" Ji Nanhong asked.

“No problem, I won’t hurt my own people,” Chen Guan said.

Ji Nanhong checked the time and said, "Wait for me here. I need to chair the morning meeting right now. I'll arrange your status after I get back. You're not allowed to go anywhere before I return, or I will never forgive you this time."

"No matter how far I fly, I can't escape your grasp. Don't worry," Chen Guan nodded with a smile.

Ji Nan Hong rolled her eyes at him before turning and leaving.

Chen Guan lay on Ji Nanhong's bed, taking a nap.

During the morning meeting, everyone noticed that something was off about Ji Nanhong's expression.

Since Chen Guan died, people like Shi Zhimen, who had always followed Ji Nanhong, have rarely seen a smile on her face.

But during today's morning meeting, Ji Nanhong had a smile on her face the whole time, and she would occasionally smile for no apparent reason.

Even when calling their names, they seemed to soften considerably.

"It's over!" Shi Zhimen and An Yiqi exchanged a glance, both seeing the helplessness and lament in each other's eyes.

Ji Nanhong's situation clearly indicates that she's in love again, which means their old friend Chen Guan is going to be cuckolded.

But then they thought there was nothing they could do. After all, Chen Guan was dead. They couldn't expect Ji Nanhong to remain a widow for the rest of her life, especially since Ji Nanhong and Chen Guan were never married.

"Alas!" Shi Zhimen sighed deeply.

An Yiqi took a sip of tea, then slammed the teacup down on the table, feeling frustrated but helpless.

Ji Nanhong realized something, forced herself to suppress her smile, and began to discuss the issue with them.

Having finally finished today's morning meeting, Ji Nanhong couldn't wait to rush back to her room.

She was greeted by a passionate embrace, and after the door was closed, wave after wave of pleasure followed.

When Ji Nanhong was completely exhausted and collapsed in Chen Guan's arms like a lump of mud, there was no time for them to talk anymore; it was time for Ji Nanhong to go to work.

Ji Nanhong dragged her aching body out to work; her legs were weak as she walked. But she couldn't stop working. After finishing her work, she arranged for Chen Guan to become her bodyguard, and then there were other things to do.

By the time she finished her work and returned, it was already late at night, and Chen Guan was already asleep.

Ji Nanhong curled up next to Chen Guan, hugging his waist from behind, her cheek resting against his back, and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning, while Ji Nanhong and Chen Guan were having breakfast, news came that Zhang Yujian had invited Huang Tianming back.

Ji Nanhong dressed Chen Guan in the bodyguard's uniform. Since he was wearing a face mask, no one could see his face, so she had Chen Guan replace another bodyguard and follow her.

Ji Nanhong is in a great mood right now. Chen Guan is not dead, which is great news for her.

Now that Huang Tianming has been invited back, it can be said that this is a double blessing. The situation that was originally in trouble seems to have suddenly become smooth.

Ji Nanhong personally went to welcome Huang Tianming; one should naturally treat talented people with the same attitude.

Chen Guan didn't know who Ji Nanhong was welcoming. In the past two days, when he was with Ji Nanhong, they didn't have much time to talk about anything other than serious matters.

"Commander, this is Huang Tianming, the King of the Southern Heaven Kingdom, whom I told you about. He's my childhood friend," Zhang Yujian introduced the middle-aged man at the head of the group.

"It's so kind of you to come and help us," Ji Nanhong said sincerely, without any formalities.

Huang Tianming said, "Commander Ji, I promised Yu Jian I would help you, and I will do my best to fulfill my promise. However, there are conditions for my help, and we need to make that clear first."

“Of course, we won’t let you, Mr. Huang, have worked for nothing,” Ji Nanhong nodded.

This is normal. If Huang Tianming were to help with something so big for free, Ji Nanhong would really have to think twice about whether she would dare to use him.

Getting paid for doing things is a matter of course.

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll be frank. I will help you kill the Nine Rocks Old Turtle King, and I hope that Commander Ji can bring Turtleback Gorge under the jurisdiction of my Southern Heaven Kingdom,” Huang Tianming said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Nanhong frowned, and even Zhang Yujian's expression changed.

“Huang Tianming, we didn’t say that before, did we?” Zhang Yujian said, looking at Huang Tianming.

Huang Tianming laughed and said, "Yujian, don't be in a hurry. Didn't you tell me before that Commander Ji wouldn't treat me unfairly? Compared to Thousand Turtle Valley, Turtle Back Gorge should be considered insignificant, right? I helped you conquer Thousand Turtle Valley, and Commander Ji gave me Turtle Back Gorge. That should be a fair trade, right? Besides, Turtle Back Gorge is right next to my Southern Heaven Kingdom, but it's far from your Crimson Blood Legion's headquarters, making it inconvenient to manage. Why not just give it to me? That way, we'll all be happy."

“Mr. Huang, I cannot give you Turtleback Gorge. I have prepared some pills and various resources as payment. Please take a look; you might be interested.” Ji Nanhong had someone bring Huang Tianming a list.

Huang Tianming took the jade slip, glanced at it, and tossed it back to the soldier. Then he looked at Ji Nanhong and said, "Commander Ji, I'm the only one who can help you kill the Nine Rocks Old Turtle King right now. If you ask me for help now, I'll only ask for Turtleback Gorge out of consideration for the jade slip. If you think I'm asking for too much, that's fine too. You can ask others for help, but if others can't help you, then you can come to me again, and it won't just be about Turtleback Gorge."

“Huang Tianming…” Zhang Yujian was furious.

“Yu Jian, calm down. Business is business. I can’t do a losing deal, right? For your sake, Turtleback Gorge will belong to my Southern Heaven Kingdom. That’s my bottom line,” Huang Tianming said calmly.

Ji Nanhong and the core members of the Crimson Blood Legion all looked grim. They all knew that Huang Tianming was taking advantage of their misfortune and making exorbitant demands.

However, at present, they don't have many options, unless Ji Nanhong is willing to humble herself and ask someone from the Heavenly Court army.
