After ninety-nine online romances, I finally met my ex in person when school started.

The voice just fell.

"squeak--"

The Maybach slammed on the brakes. The tires left long black tracks on the road.

Thirty meters ahead, around the corner, several huge rocks were cut across the middle of the road, completely blocking the way.

A dozen or so shirtless, burly men emerged from the woods. They carried old-fashioned rifles and machetes, their eyes fixed fiercely on the convoy.

Xia Wanying frowned slightly and took out her phone with her slender fingers.

"Bad people come from poor and remote places." Xia Wanying swiped the screen. "I'll make a call to the top officials of the Southwest Department of Commerce. They have an obligation to clear the obstacles for me with an investment of 10 billion."

Zhu Xun Chuan reached out and gently pressed her phone screen.

"This is nothing to worry about," Zhu Xun Chuan said calmly.

He pressed the window button. A mountain breeze, carrying the earthy smell of the ground, rushed into the car.

The lead brute raised his rifle and, from a distance of thirty meters, arrogantly pointed the muzzle at the Maybach's windshield.

Zhu Xun Chuan took out a one-yuan coin from his trench coat pocket.

Press your thumb down on the second joint of your index finger. The coin is stuck at your fingertip.

Finger.

"call out!"

The coin tore through the air, emitting an extremely sharp whistling sound.

"Snapped!"

Thirty meters away, the scope of the rifle in the lead barbarian's hand shattered instantly. Shards of glass embedded themselves in his right eye.

"ah--"

The brute dropped his gun, clutching his blood-soaked face and screaming in agony.

The entire area fell silent. The surrounding savages were all stunned by this move, and for a moment they even forgot to raise their guns.

Zhu Xun Chuan leaned back in his leather chair and dusted off non-existent dust from his cuffs.

"Go back and tell your Third Master," Zhu Xun Chuan said in a cold voice, not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears, "I've come to take your new family head home."

After a brief silence, the barbarian who had been covering his eyes finally caught his breath.

Through his fingers, he could just see Qu Feiyan leaning out of the back window of the Maybach.

Instead of retreating, the barbarian's face contorted with extreme madness.

"Third Master has ordered!" the barbarian roared hoarsely, ignoring his injuries, "The young master is suspected of patricide! Execute him on the spot!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

A strange noise burst out from the dense bushes on both sides of the road.

A dozen or so jet-black steel crossbow bolts instantly emerged from the branches and leaves. Each arrowhead was coated with a strange, dark green venom.

The next second, all the poisoned arrows were aimed at the Maybach's bulletproof glass. The killing intent instantly blocked all escape routes.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

A dozen or so steel crossbow bolts tore through the air, carrying a foul stench as they hurtled toward the Maybach's windshield.

Zhu Xun Chuan didn't move. Xia Wan Ying sat upright beside him, her slender fingers still resting on her knees. Only Pei Yan Rou covered her eyes in fright and shrank back.

"Clang clang clang!" Several muffled sounds.

Several light-colored scratches were left on the bulletproof glass specially made for the Maybach. All the poisoned arrows bounced off and fell onto the asphalt road.

Just as the barbarian ambushed in the woods was about to nock his second volley of arrows, the treetops overhead suddenly emitted a chilling rustling sound.

A petite figure descended from the sky.

Xiao Bai was like a ghost lurking in the shadows. She gripped the short knife in both hands, her figure blurring as she plunged into the bushes.

Hand up, knife down.

The bolts of the old-fashioned rifles were all destroyed, and the bowstrings of the crossbows were all cut off.

In less than three minutes, the dozen or so savages didn't even get a touch on the enemy's clothes before their wrists were dislocated and their Achilles tendons were severed, with screams of agony filling the air!

"Let's go." Zhu Xun Chuan knocked on the soundproof glass without looking back.

The driver floored the gas pedal, and the Maybach sped away, crushing the gravel on the road and leaving behind only a trail of wailing.

The convoy drove into a town on the outskirts of the Qu family's territory. As dusk fell, it stopped in front of a quaint Miao-style stilted house inn.

Stepping out of the car in her red-soled high heels, Xia Wanying frowned immediately as she looked at the blackened wooden staircase in front of her.

I went up to the second floor of the inn. The wooden planks creaked under my feet.

Pushing open the guest room door, Xia Wanying frowned as she looked at the rather flimsy wooden bed.

"Even the worst budget hotel under Dinghe Group is a hundred times cleaner than this." Xia Wanying turned around, her burgundy business suit looking out of place in the dilapidated room.

Qu Feiyan leaned against the door frame, arms crossed, chin raised.

"You pampered young lady. There's no five-star presidential suite for you in these mountains. If you think it's dirty, go sleep in a Maybach. The mosquitoes in the mountains only bite people with delicate skin like you."

"Where I sleep is none of your business, you runaway young master." Xia Wanying sneered, walking directly to Zhu Xun Chuan's side and taking his arm. "Boss, clear out your biggest and cleanest room. Brother Chuan is sleeping with me tonight, and nobody's allowed to disturb us."

Qu Feiyan's expression changed, and she immediately strode over and grabbed Zhu Xunchuan's other arm.

"Why should I sleep with you! This is Miao territory, my domain. The remaining poison in his body has just healed, and I need to protect him closely. Do you even know how to cure the poison?"

Two stunningly beautiful women, one on the left and one on the right, secretly exerted their strength.

Pei Yanrou stood in the corridor, carrying her luggage bag. Seeing this scene, her cheeks flushed red, unsure whether to go forward or retreat.

Zhu Xun Chuan felt like his arms were about to be dislocated. He sighed, then reached back and wrapped his arms around Xia Wan Ying's waist with his left hand and Qu Fei Yan's shoulder with his right.

"What's all the noise about?" Zhu Xun Chuan was quite strong, leading the two directly to the largest room at the end of the corridor. "The bed is big, let's sleep together. No one is allowed to cover themselves with blankets or fight for a spot tonight."

"Bless Xunchuan!"

"Damn scumbag!"

Both women cried out simultaneously, but neither could break free from his large hand. They were half-pushed and half-reluctantly led into the room by him. The door slammed shut.

In the middle of the night, the mountain wind howled.

Several jet-black centipedes silently slithered into the guest room through the cracks in the window.

They huddled against the wall, crawling quickly toward the bed.

Qu Feiyan, who was sleeping on the outermost side of the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

She didn't get up. She lightly flicked her finger on the silver necklace around her neck.

A small, fleshy worm, its body radiating a pale golden light, emerged. Its natal Golden Silkworm.

The golden silkworm flapped its wings and took flight at incredible speed, leaving a golden trail in the air. Before the venomous flying centipedes could even get close to the bedside, the golden silkworm chewed them up and swallowed them whole.

After swallowing the venomous insects, the golden silkworm's light brightened slightly. Following the scent left by the flying centipede, it flew through the window crack into the night, intending to poison the spies hiding on the outskirts.

After doing all this, Qu Feiyan turned around.

Zhu Xun Chuan slept in the middle, his breathing steady. Xia Wan Ying on the other side was fast asleep.

Qu Feiyan mustered her courage and snuggled closer to Zhu Xunchuan. She stretched out her slender fingers and drew circles on his firm chest.

"I killed all the bugs." She lowered her voice, her tone full of a kitten's smugness, as if seeking praise. "Isn't this young master amazing?"

In the darkness, a large hand accurately caught her mischievous fingers and then gently rubbed the back of her head twice.

"Impressive." Zhu Xun Chuan said in a low, hoarse voice, his eyes closed. "Go to sleep now."
