"When did you get back? I thought you'd end up dying out there."

Quickly getting dressed, she asked Yang Yan with a stern face.

Yang Yan sat nearby with his back to the woman, rubbing his somewhat numb wrist and said with a wry smile:

"I've been back in Huaxia for a while now. But I've been in East Sea City, only arrived in the Imperial Capital last night. And here I am, coming straight to see you. Are you dressed? I've got some friends waiting downstairs."

"Alright then, let's go!"

The woman said.

Yang Yan turned around to glance at the woman, and then he couldn't take his eyes off her.

She was wearing a tight-fitting black dress, her curves accentuated perfectly.

The most critical part was that her waist was slender.

Moreover, she was very beautiful.

"What? Stunned by my beauty? Want to come up and give it a try? I sure wouldn't refuse you!"

The woman teased with a mischievous smile, beckoning with her finger.

"Haha! Don't tempt me; I can't handle temptation right now."

Yang Yan swallowed and said with his eyes closed.

"Oh? Our virgin chicken got taken by someone else? Who has such skills?"

The woman exclaimed in surprise.

Then she glanced Yang Yan up and down, a trace of disappointment flickering in her eyes.

"Alright, let's go down! Or else, I'll really gobble you up."

Finished speaking, Yang Yan hurriedly walked out.

The woman watched his back, chuckled softly, then caught up with his steps in a flash, walking out side by side with him.

Outside, Zhou Hanyun was looking at various weapons, while Zhou Hanyu was still examining the two swords.

Cai'Er and Ruyi were squatting nearby, eyeing a kobold scepter.

"Let me introduce, these two are Zhou Hanyun and Zhou Hanyu. These little ones are Ruyi and Cai'Er."

Yang Yan gestured towards Zhou Hanyun and the others, giving a brief introduction to the woman beside him.

Then he said to Zhou Hanyun and the others:

"This is the owner of this shop, and a very good friend of mine, Qi Wutong, Miss Qi."

"Hello."

As soon as Zhou Hanyun saw Qi Wutong, she was stunned for a moment, then generously extended her right hand.

"Hello."

Qi Wutong also locked her eyes on her, extending her hand for a gentle shake.

"Dad, this auntie is so pretty!"

Cai'Er said.

Ruyi, beside her, also nodded heavily in agreement.

"Dad? You're married? Already a father? Wow, these two girls are something special!"

Qi Wutong looked at Cai'Er and Ruyi in surprise.

"Long story, I'll tell you later."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

...

"Young master, I saw for certain that those guys are in the Phoenix Lady's shop, I watched them go in with my own eyes."

Not far from Strange Tales, a few people said to a young man.

The young man was none other than Mr. Wang, who tried to get Yang Yan's room the previous evening.

"Phoenix Lady, huh? That woman is not easy to mess with. Young master, why don't we wait for them to come out?"

Someone suggested to Mr. Wang.

Mr. Wang couldn't help but furrow his brows and asked the people beside him:

"How do they know Phoenix Lady? Are you sure they are outsiders?"

The leading man quickly said:

"Sure! I've already called to confirm. That woman's name is Zhou Hanyun, and she has a sister named Zhou Hanyu. Both sisters are from East Sea City. Their family has some assets, recently started Zhou's Jewelry, which is quite noteworthy."

"Oh, and there's an old man in their family who's near death, used to be a Red Hat Merchant. Other than that, they don't have much background. But that guy couldn't be identified, though it's certain he's not some big shot."

Hearing this, Mr. Wang smirked coldly:

"In that case, let's just go find them. Remember not to damage anything that belongs to Phoenix Lady. And keep your eyes in check. We must give Phoenix Lady her due respect."

...

"What are you planning to do here?"

Qi Wutong looked at Yang Yan, asking seriously.

"Planning to open a jewelry store here in the Imperial Capital. Besides, there's going to be quite a commotion here soon, and I want to see it."

Yang Yan said as he picked up the kobold's scepter, twisted it lightly, then handed the exquisitely carved, antique-laden kobold to the excited Cai'Er and Ruyi.

"A commotion? What kind of commotion could there be here? Though recently, quite a few Hidden World people have poured into the Imperial Capital, they've been quite well-behaved."

Qi Wutong asked in confusion.

"Someone's planning something, I'll tell you more in a couple of days. Today, I came to see you, and secondly, I want to ask you to help me buy a shop here."

"Preferably a large one, as I'm planning to open a high-end jewelry store here. As long as the price is reasonable, money won't be an issue."

Yang Yan said.

Just as Qi Wutong was about to say something, a group of people suddenly barged in from outside.

Leading them was Mr. Wang.

He glanced at Qi Wutong, then swallowed hard, forcibly turning his gaze to Zhou Hanyun and Zhou Hanyu.

"We meet again."

He looked at Zhou Hanyun, saying with a grin.

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Zhou Hanyun looked at the familiar-looking Mr. Wang, frowning.

From his eyes, she could already sense that this guy had bad intentions.

"Haha! You don't know me now, but you will soon. Come on, let's go out and have some fun, and bring her along."

Mr. Wang looked at Zhou Hanyun, then nonchalantly pointed at Zhou Hanyu.

"Is this the way all your spoiled brats in the Imperial Capital behave?"

Yang Yan turned his head, asking Qi Wutong.

"Wang Lun, what do you intend to do?"

Qi Wutong didn't answer Yang Yan, instead, she looked at the young man coldly and said.

"Phoenix, it's none of your business. I'll just take this girl and be on my way, leaving the little one behind, so as not to cause you trouble."

Wang Lun said with a cheeky grin.

"Haha! Grabbing people in my shop, you have some guts. Even your brother Wang Bo wouldn't dare to be so bold."

Qi Wutong's tone suddenly turned menacing.

At this, Wang Lun's face changed a couple of times.

Though he liked to mess around, he was no fool.

Seeing Phoenix's demeanor, he instantly realized that there was some relationship between her and these people.

Damn!

This is a bit tricky.

How on earth did these outsiders know Phoenix?

"Sorry! My mistake, Phoenix, we'll leave, we'll leave right away."

With these words, Wang Lun glanced at Zhou Hanyun, then turned and walked outside.

"Tsk tsk! What's that guy's deal?"

Yang Yan asked Qi Wutong calmly.

"The young master of the Imperial Capital Wang Family, his dad is the head of the Imperial Capital Guard Division, very powerful. And he's pretty smart too, knows who he can mess with and who he can't, so he's been able to stir things up in the Imperial Capital."

"But it's worth mentioning, he has an older brother who's a captain in the Elephant Division, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to come here and grab people."

Qi Wutong said with a cold smile.
