Chapter 174 Thirst

Sitting on his lap, Guan Ya glanced at him and said with a smile, "You can still regret it now. It's not too late."

"Too late!" Zhang Yuanqing pinned Guan Ya to the sofa, his entire weight pressing down on her voluptuous and soft body. He inhaled her delicate fragrance, looking at her enchanting face close at hand. This mixed-race face had Western three-dimensionality and refinement, yet her skin was delicate and fair, her beauty mixed with exotic scenery, greatly enhancing her charm. "Sister Guan Ya, you're so beautiful..." Zhang Yuanqing murmured. Guan Ya's cheeks flushed red, her eyes tender and charming, staring straight at him.

Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and held her warm, supple lips, sucking them greedily. Guan Ya cautiously responded. At this moment, the door to the study suddenly opened.

Young Master Qian, dressed in a snow-white suit, stood at the door, his face as cold as frost, his voice like the wind and snow of winter.

"What are you doing?"

Zhang Yuanqing sprang up from Guan Ya's body, his expression unchanged.

"Chief is back. Sister Guan Ya and I were testing if the sofa was comfortable enough for you..." Guan Ya said seriously, awkwardly adjusting her clothes, neckline, and hair. "My study is not a place for your trysts. If I see anything like this again, forget about this year's bonus!" Fu Qingyang said coldly. He felt that his study had been defiled.

"Chief, you used the wrong word. We were just being intimate." Zhang Yuanqing diligently poured tea for his boss, gesturing for him to come and sit at the desk. Fu Qingyang took a sip of the tea.

"Guan Ya has a fiancé." The faces of the two young lovers changed simultaneously.

Fu Qingyang offended both of them with one sentence, affecting their mood and ruining the sweet atmosphere.

*The Fu family is still wavering. Besides, it's just an intention to marry, not an actual engagement. What kind of fiancé is that? At most, a competitor. Tsk, such a strong desire for revenge, so petty..." Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart, then said,

"What does Mr. Bill want to see Chief about?" Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment and said,

"A high-level member of the Dionysus Club may infiltrate Songhai recently. He hopes I can represent the Five Elements Alliance to deal with those evil foreign Professionals." He told Zhang Yuanqing about the grudges between the Dionysus Club and the Merchant Guild.

"That Void Adept, the strongest one, is in Songhai?" Zhang Yuanqing was taken aback, thinking that such a small Songhai actually hid so many big shots.

"The Void Adept is good at stealth and concealment. Can the Dionysus Club find him?" Guan Ya frowned, sitting on the sofa. "Theoretically, no!" Fu Qingyang shook his head first, then added,

"But since they dare to come, they must be confident. These are not within our scope of consideration. What the Songhai branch needs to do is to expel the Dionysus Club from the country, or, when conflicts occur between the two sides, to minimize the impact." Guan Ya thought for a few seconds, then said helplessly, "This is not something the Songhai branch can do."

"That Void Adept is a powerful existence comparable to the Alliance Leader. If the Dionysus Club wants to achieve its goal, it must at least send someone of the same level. This is obviously beyond the limits of the Songhai branch's capabilities." Fu Qingyang said indifferently,

"So I reported the news to that trash and let her come and handle it herself." Guan Ya pouted. "You disturbed her mood of eating sweets and watching dramas. The first thing she'll do when she comes to Songhai is beat you up." Zhang Yuanqing stood beside them blankly, not understanding the conversation between these cousins at all. Fu Qingyang seemed to have had a sore spot revealed, and snorted coldly.

Tuesday morning, outside the Fu Family Bay residential area.

A white car stopped in front of the gate and was stopped by the stern-faced gatekeeper. A queen with smoky makeup and silver earrings poked her head out and shouted, "I'm looking for a friend!" The gatekeeper left the guardhouse, glanced at her, and did not change his attitude because of the expensive car or the beauty of the female driver. He said sternly, "Please contact your friend!"

"The security is quite tight..." The queen grabbed her phone, exited the navigation, and sent a message to Yuanshi Tianzun: "I'm at the gate of the Fu Family Bay residential area. The security won't let me in."

She was reporting for duty today. She had submitted her transfer application a few days ago, and her personnel relations had been transferred to the Songhai branch. When her immediate superior signed the application, he had a smiling face, completely different from his previous indifference.

Yuanshi Tianzun asked her to report to the Fu Family Bay villa, saying that it was the headquarters of the Songhai branch's patrol team, Young Master Qian's territory.

Before coming, the queen had checked the price of the Fu Family Bay villa and was shocked. Each villa built in the city required a small fortune, with the cheapest costing seventy to eighty million.

With her salary and benefits, she wouldn't be able to afford a villa here even if she worked her whole life. Soon, Yuanshi Tianzun replied: "Wait a moment."

After another ten minutes or so, a girl wearing a long trench coat arrived at the gate of the residential area on the property's shuttle bus. "Are you Ms. Queen?"

The girl with rabbit ears on her head revealed a gentle smile. The queen was stunned. "Yes, I am..." She glanced at the rabbit ears without leaving a trace. The bunny girl took out her access card, swiped it to open the gate, then opened the car door, got into the car, and said, "Go straight, I'll give you directions."

The queen lightly stepped on the accelerator and drove into the villa area. Along the way, her eyes darted around. The villas here were magnificent and luxurious, and the gardens were beautiful and elegant. One could imagine that the people who lived here were either rich or noble.

"I wish I could live here..." I wonder where Yuanshi Tianzun's "office" is located. It should also be in Kangyang District. I'll report today and find an agent to rent a house tomorrow. The queen held the steering wheel, driving slowly, her thoughts running wild.

Before long, under the guidance of the bunny girl, the car drove to the most luxurious and magnificent villa in the villa area.

"This is the Young Master's residence, your headquarters," the bunny girl introduced. The queen stepped on the brake and heard the bunny girl in the passenger seat say, "Please continue forward. Your residence is not here."

"Jiahe Si Sihua Lianfu County."

"The small villa next to it is the residence that Mr. Yuanshi has prepared for you. You will live there from now on. I am responsible for housekeeping." The queen's mouth formed an 'o' shape. "This is the residence that Yuanshi Tianzun arranged for me. I'll live here from now on?" She asked incredulously, "Really? Really!" The bunny girl smiled and nodded.

The queen's heart was filled with excitement. She stepped on the accelerator and quickly passed Fu Qingyang's big villa, stopping the car in front of the "small" villa.

The iron gate of the villa was open, and Yuanshi Tianzun, wearing a white t-shirt and light-colored capri pants, stood at the door, young and handsome, with fair skin, a smile on his face, and a mysterious and otherworldly temperament.

This was completely different from the eerie and noble aura in Yin-Yang Town. "Welcome!" Zhang Yuanqing opened his arms, like an old friend reuniting after a long separation.

After many days, she was still dressed as she was, an urban beauty with an oval face, smoky makeup, and big earrings, with a bit of a bad older sister vibe. The queen didn't come forward, tut-tutting, "You're giving me such a good house to live in, Lord Tianzun, are you keeping me?"

Zhang Yuanqing was about to tease her when Guan Ya's soft laughter came from behind.

"Yes, he's not only going to keep you, but there's also a minor he's keeping in the house. Hurry up and go in to get to know each other. Discuss how to serve Lord Tianzun." "Ah, Guan Ya!" The queen bypassed Zhang Yuanqing and rushed over happily, acting like they were sisters. "I didn't hear anything you just said." Guan Ya also warmly hugged the queen, as if the joke was a normal joke between sisters.

"This villa is my property and will be used as our team's office. Queen, you will live here from now on. A team member has already arrived in advance. Let me introduce you." Zhang Yuanqing interrupted the reminiscing sisters, led the queen through the small garden, and entered the villa.

The villa was not a shell, but was elaborately decorated and furnished, ready to move in. The villa had three floors, with an area of ​​about 160 square meters on the first floor. The first floor had a large living room, a "bedroom," a small living room, and two bathrooms.

At this time, six or seven workers were busy with tools, carrying equipment, and converting the small living room into a gym.

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was solemnly directing the workers. She was small, her eyes were like lacquer, her nose and mouth were small. She was still young, not mature enough, not charming enough, but extremely beautiful and lovely.

She was a little beauty that caught the eye.

"Xie Lingxi, the Qianjin young miss of the Xie family in San Zhuang Province. She actually joined the patrol team too?" The queen was a little surprised.

She had seen this girl during the arena competition, calling him "Brother" all day long. Guan Ya didn't seem to like her very much.

"The official patrol team has a much higher risk factor than the garrison team. It's hard to imagine that the Xie family would let such a Qianjin young miss born with a silver spoon join the patrol team. The Xie family attaches great importance to Yuanshi Tianzun, otherwise they would never be willing to send Xie Lingxi here..." The queen thought to herself. "Ah, it's Sister Queen!"

When Xie Lingxi saw the queen coming in, she happily greeted her and said coquettishly, "Hello, Sister Queen. Let's live on the same floor. Sister Guan Ya is going to live on the same floor as Brother Yuanshi. I have no problem!" The queen responded with a smile, glancing at Guan Ya and Zhang Yuanqing.

"Uh, I don't remember Guan Ya saying she wanted to be on the same floor as me..." Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing that the little green tea was starting to act up.

With this understated sentence, she classified herself and the queen into the "outsider" camp, while the description of Guan Ya wanting to live on the same floor as Brother Yuanshi was actually implying the relationship between him and Guan Ya.

If the queen had a good impression of him, she would inevitably be hostile to Guan Ya. Even if she didn't have a good impression of him, she would realize that Guan Ya was the "boss's wife" and she and Xie Lingxi were employees. A class opposition was created.

As everyone knows, no matter how good the relationship between the boss and the employee is, they are ultimately opposing classes.

"Xie Lingxi seems to have a strong hostility towards Sister Guan Ya. As soon as the queen came, she secretly formed factions. I'd better come here less often in the future..." Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, unable to help but turn his head to look at Guan Ya.

The old driver narrowed her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Brother Yuanshi, I want to turn the idle study on the second floor into a theater, okay?" Xie Lingxi said in a sweet voice. "Whatever you want." Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, "Go ahead and transform it, it will all be mine in the future." He then said,

"If you have any questions, just find the housekeeper. You don't need to tell me. I'll talk about the work of the patrol team first. Patrol members must have three months of outside time each year. This is the baseline, but I heard that the outside time for most patrol teams actually doesn't exceed three months, so it's not busy."

"Our main job is to hunt down wanted criminals, accept requests for help from colleagues in the jurisdiction, and assist in handling problems when the garrison team is short of personnel." "The branch and headquarters will arrange tasks for us, and we can also take the initiative to apply for handling a certain task. Our bonuses and KPIs are closely related. I have inquired with several other patrol captains in Songhai. The annual income of patrol teams that meet the performance standards is 3-5 times that of the garrison team, but it is also more dangerous."

"What's more dangerous is leaving Songhai; losing the protection of the elders. With my reputation and ranking on the wanted list, once I'm too flamboyant, I'm likely to be hunted down and ambushed. I have an obligation to inform you of these dangers in advance." The queen and Xie Lingxi listened with serious expressions.

If such a thing really happened, given the "importance" of Yuanshi Tianzun, the enemies who took action would definitely be at the God General level. The two of them, who were small fries in the Extraordinary Realm, would die in minutes. Zhang Yuanqing changed the subject and said,

"However, joining my team will have benefits in terms of items. You are both level 3. When you enter the Slaughter Instance, I will lend you items. In addition, I will also distribute a few items to you during normal missions to enhance your strength and enhance your ability to protect yourself."

Xie Lingxi was the Qianjin young miss of a wealthy family, possessing four jade-grade items. She was very happy about the benefit of being able to use Yuanshi's items, but she wasn't too surprised. The queen was different. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she couldn't wait to say, "Tianzun, can I take a look at what items there are to understand?" Seeing Guan Ya, she changed her tone to "Captain". Xie Lingxi also looked forward to it.

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a while and agreed to the queen's request. He immediately took out the "Observer's Glasses," "Bloodthirsty Blade," "Lucky Necklace," "Beast Speaker" bracelet, "Hypnotic Box," "Swordsmanship Master," and "Perfect Human Skin" and placed them on the coffee table.

"You can apply to use these items at any time. In addition, I also have four or five Saint-grade, special-function items that can be applied for use in special times." Xie Lingxi and the queen couldn't wait to grab the items and check their attributes one by one. "They are all top-quality items..."

"Wow, Brother Yuanshi, you are so rich. You have so many top-quality items at such a young age! This doesn't even include your robe, the championship reward from the Fu Tai Competition, and the reward for clearing the Slaughter Instance. I only have two items now, one of which is an auxiliary item that is not very valuable. Captain, keep me!" The two beauties, one big and one small, swallowed hard, their beautiful eyes shining brightly.

The queen couldn't put down the Observer's Glasses, Lucky Necklace, and Beast Speaker bracelet, playing with them non-stop and putting on the glasses. Xie Lingxi stared at the "Perfect Human Skin", silent and thoughtful, not knowing what she was thinking. The queen, wearing the glasses, looked excited on the surface, but secretly scrutinized the colleagues around her. "Lord Tianzun is a little proud, hey, this little boy... Guan Ya doesn't like Xie Lingxi very much, but not because of jealousy, there is disdain hidden in her eyes. Well, after all, she is still a minor and is small in all aspects. She is a little wary of me, but not to a high degree. Tsk tsk, Guan Ya is very confident in her charm... Xie Lingxi seems to have some trick up her sleeve. The Perfect Human Skin gave her inspiration. Oh, she wants to disguise herself as Guan Ya."

The queen swept over the three of them without leaving a trace, then took off her sunglasses and continued to play with other items happily. "Cough cough."

Zhang Yuanqing took back the items and cleared his throat, "I'm going to the bathroom." "They are not easy people..." Turning around, he muttered in his heart.

I'll go and ask my life mentor later how to maintain balance among the female team members. Entering the bathroom, while emptying his bladder, he thought about the art of checks and balances. He suddenly thought of Asano Ryo, who was about the same age as Xie Lingxi.

Asano Ryo was a disciple of the deputy leader of the Thousand Crane Group. The master behind the Thousand Crane Group was the Heavenly Punishment Organization. The Miller family was one of the large families within the Heavenly Punishment Organization. A certain young master of the Miller family was Guan Ya's prospective fiancé.

Then, he could completely collect and inquire about the Miller family's information through Asano Ryo. Although he could get the information he wanted by directly asking Fu Qingyang, it was not a bad thing to have an extra channel, and he did not want to completely rely on Fu Qingyang on the issue of Guan Ya.

In most things, he could bow down without any psychological obstacles.

Only on the matter of Guan Ya, Zhang Yuanqing did not want to rely on others for everything. Frequently asking Fu Qingyang about this matter would disappoint Guan Ya and Young Master Qian, and it would also make him seem incapable. He couldn't do anything without Young Master Qian.

Swallowing.

Furthermore, the purpose of his establishing "Return of the Dead" was to expand channels. The Thousand Crane Group was a good stepping stone, allowing him to learn more foreign information. Thinking of this, Zhang Yuanqing opened the gang warehouse, clicked the "Recruit" option in the upper right corner, and used his finger as a pen to write Asano Ryo in the pop-up dialog box!

Tokyo. Thousand Crane Group headquarters, deputy leader's office.

Asano Ryo, wearing a white kendo suit, was sitting on a soft cushion, drinking tea with her teacher, Ryuzaki Ichi, who was also wearing a white kendo suit. "Ryo, the leader just returned from the Federal Empire and heard about your experience in the Slaughter Instance. He hopes that you can contact Yuanshi Tianzun and maintain contact with him in secret." Ryuzaki Ichi put down his teacup and said in a deep voice.

"But I don't have Yuanshi Tianzun's contact information..." Ryo thought. "Teacher, the leader must have been angered in the Federal Empire again. They criticize the leader like a father scolding his son." "Gah!" Ryuzaki Ichi scolded, "This is something you have to apologize for by seppuku."

"I'm sorry, teacher..." Ryo quickly lowered her head to admit her mistake, suddenly stunned, and suddenly raised her head, staring straight at Ryuzaki Ichi.

To be precise, she was staring at the void in front of her. A dialog box that only she could see popped up: [Yuanshi Tianzun invites you to join "Return of the Dead".]

Typos will be corrected later.
