The next day, Jing Xi was awakened by Xiao Hong’s urging.

Asking for the time, it was already almost 8 o’clock.

There was still a pile of reports to be done today.

Jing Xi moved slightly, finding someone hugging him deathly tight, sleeping soundly.

Waking up in the arms of the person he liked felt really good.

If not for Xiao Hong constantly urging in his brain, Jing Xi would have wanted to sleep in a bit longer.

“Chi Yao?” Jing Xi pushed him gently.

Waited a moment; no reaction at all.

If he didn’t get up, he’d be late.

Jing Xi pulled his hand away, stealing a kiss on his cheek while getting up.

Rustling sounds came to his ears; a moment later, footsteps faded away.

Only after hearing the door close did Chi Yao open his eyes.

This room wasn’t the guest room he slept in before.

Black, white, and gray tones, simple decoration lines, no photos to be found anywhere. A weapon corner was set up near the small study. Except for the larger area, this was completely a military dormitory.

Limited edition sniper rifles, collector’s edition pistols, military knives, and various models of accessories and uniquely shaped weapons.

Chi Yao casually picked up a pistol to play with in his fingers, examining other guns with interest.

At least half of these were out of print.

“This spendthrift.”

Although the power of ordinary mechanical firearms couldn’t compare with light-energy weapons at all, many people were still fascinated by them.

Apart from this wall of weapons, there was nothing special in the room.

Jing Xi locked the room and wouldn’t let him in; was it just fear of him stealing weapons?

When putting the pistol back, Chi Yao caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye and took the gun back.

This gun was matte pure black throughout, with a row of steel stamps on one side of the barrel—phoenix.

Chi Yao’s eyes flashed, examining this gun carefully.

No wonder it looked so familiar; wasn’t this the Xuanfeng (Cockatiel/Black Phoenix) snatched away at the black market auction eight years ago?!

Black market auctions often had auctions for unique items like this.

Most gun makers weren’t arms dealers but skilled mechanics.

He would go look around when free, but mostly just looked.

After all, watching a bunch of people fight over trash was quite interesting.

Rarely took a fancy to this Xuanfeng, but had little disposable money on hand, so watched helplessly as it was won by someone else.

At that time, he felt the person competing with him must be a fool with more money than brains. A good gun falling into the hands of someone who didn’t understand guns would be wasted.

Result was it being here—

Chi Yao inexplicably felt a bit guilty, taking a velvet cloth to wipe the Xuanfeng carefully.

When he went downstairs, Jing Xi had already gone to work. Breakfast was on the dining table, along with a note.

[I’ll come home at noon to eat with you.]

The sandwich and coffee were both hot.

Chi Yao picked them up and walked to the back hall.

Light shone in obliquely through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In the backyard, Yao Yao and a certain wild cat were squatting in the cat palace Jing Xi made, licking each other’s fur.

Drinking coffee made by his lover, watching the family cat show off affection.

Even restricted to the house unable to go out, this stable and peaceful life was something Chi Yao dared not even dream of before.

The terminal suddenly rang. Chi Yao swiped it open casually.

[Chun Qin: Sure about releasing Li Bo?]

Chi Yao tapped his fingertips lightly on the tabletop, replying a moment later.

[Released.]

At noon, Jing Xi walked out of the conference hall after the morning meeting.

“Old Jing.”

Huang Hao ran up quickly from behind and put his arm around his shoulder: “Why no reaction when I called you?”

Jing Xi brushed his hand away like dusting off dirt.

“Something up?”

Huang Hao looked injured: “Can’t call you if nothing’s up?”

Jing Xi walked forward with a cold face: “Get to the point.”

“Go to the training room after eating,” Huang Hao said excitedly. “Recently I got guidance from an expert, strength increased sharply, definitely won’t lose to you.”

“No time,” Jing Xi said calmly. “I’m going home at noon.”

“Going home for what?” Huang Hao gave him an extra look. “Didn’t you used to wish you could live in the office?”

Jing Xi: “Have business.”

Huang Hao rested his chin and pondered, leaning in with a “hehehe”: “Rushing home so eagerly, you didn’t get a partner, did you?”

Jing Xi paused slightly, continuing forward.

“Not telling you.”

Huang Hao: “…”

Truly a hard bone.

When Jing Xi arrived home, Chi Yao was cooking in the kitchen.

Chi Yao was wearing his shirt. His back was broad and straight, cuffs rolled up to his forearms, revealing tight and slender arm lines.

Two fat cats sat side by side on the island counter, heads moving with Chi Yao, simply like two supervisors.

Hearing footsteps, Chi Yao was about to turn his head when he was hugged from behind.

“What did you cook?” Jing Xi asked.

Chi Yao: “I pulled vegetables from the garden; they looked not bad.”

Jing Xi: “Grandma made me plant those, afraid I’d have no food alone.”

Chi Yao: “But looks like you haven’t eaten them; they’ve grown into old stumps.”

Jing Xi: “I was afraid of poisoning myself.”

Chi Yao chuckled: “Very self-aware.”

Being mocked, Jing Xi was unwilling, holding back for a long time before whispering: “When I’m free, I’ll learn cooking properly and cook for you.”

Chi Yao: “I want to live a few more years.”

Jing Xi: “…”

This topic couldn’t continue. Jing Xi glanced at the cat licking its paws on the island.

“You allowed it in?”

Chi Yao snorted: “What use is it if I don’t allow?”

Hearing a muffled chuckle by his ear, Chi Yao turned to look at him: “You still laugh at me?”

Jing Xi leaned in slightly, kissing him on the lips: “Think on the bright side. Having many more kittens at home, isn’t it good?”

Chi Yao opened the pot lid, still unhappy: “If that wild cat family dares come ask for kittens, I’ll serve them cat meat.”

Jing Xi: “…”

At the dining table, Chi Yao watched Jing Xi pouring vinegar into the soup. Disliking the small bottle opening, he unscrewed the cap directly to pour.

“This habit of yours kills.”

“It won’t.” Jing Xi put down the half-empty vinegar bottle. “This is brewed from pure grain, no effect on health.”

“Kills me.” Chi Yao shook his head.

Station staff receiving the notice were all nervous.

The military couldn’t let Extreme Shadow’s spaceship fly directly into Capital Star’s airspace. The current method was to have Extreme Shadow’s spaceship dock at the furthest Station No. 1, then have Flying Dragon go over to pick people up.

Jing Xi: “When the crops on 0520 are harvested, we can brew a cellar full of vinegar.”

Seeing his delighted look, Chi Yao: “…”

Seems he’s coveted it for a long time.

After eating, Jing Xi gave the temporary pass to Chi Yao.

Appearance was no different from ordinary people’s terminals, but this one had a time limit.

“Give it to you first. Your matter will be discussed in a meeting tomorrow at the latest.” Jing Xi buckled it on him. “I will detain you at home on grounds of surveillance.”

Chi Yao held his hand back.

“What about Chen Bingfeng?”

“Zhao Hongyi is trying his best to protect him; currently just suspended pending investigation.” Speaking of this, Jing Xi’s face wasn’t very good. “He has been in the military for many years, wings fully grown (powerful). Just relying on this matter probably won’t make a splash.”

Chi Yao: “Have to get him inside.”

Jing Xi: “Unless the investigation shows he voluntarily gifted the armaments to you, the probability of going in is almost zero.”

“Passive rescue?” Chi Yao looked at him. “No punishment from the military for this behavior?”

“There is punishment.” Jing Xi looked calm. “But this matter is too easy to manipulate.”

Chi Yao frowned: “If really not possible, then Extreme Shadow will kidnap again.”

Jing Xi: “The cost of kidnapping on Capital Star is too high.”

Chi Yao gave a peck on the back of his hand, chuckling: “Before, you would definitely say ‘Dare to kidnap officers under my nose, looking down on me or thinking too highly of yourself?'”

Jing Xi: “…”

He kept a wooden face and didn’t respond, changing the topic: “Why so anxious?”

“Do you remember that monster in the cave?” Seeing him nod, Chi Yao whispered, “It said it saw a Lieutenant General appear in the laboratory where it was born on S810, and he was a leader there.”

Jing Xi was stunned.

“You think it’s Chen Bingfeng?”

Chi Yao nodded: “Regardless of whether it’s him, control him first to see the situation. If there’s someone behind him, there will definitely be movement.”

After Li Bo was caught, Chen Bingfeng was like a cat with its tail bitten.

If Chen Bingfeng was also caught, who would be next?

Chi Yao: “I’ve already let them go first. After meeting Qiu Tianlin, I’ll go over too.”

“Tomorrow night we’ll go see Grandpa. As for Chen Bingfeng—” Jing Xi looked serious, “It’s almost the 15th. If everything goes smoothly, someone will take care of him for us.”

Putting aside other grudges, just inaction on the battlefield and disregarding public safety were enough for Chen Bingfeng to suffer.

“Currently, Pei Zhenyue seems sensible enough.” Chi Yao looked at Jing Xi. “Just don’t know what thoughts he’s hiding. Better be careful.”

Just arrested an officer, a space pirate who snatched armaments appeared under his nose, yet he could nonchalantly give a pass and drink until dead drunk. If not big-hearted, Chi Yao temporarily couldn’t see what abacus he was calculating.

Jing Xi grasped his hand tight: “Mm. After the ceremony on the 15th, I’ll go back to Cetus Constellation with you.”

Pei Zhenyue’s attitude toward Chi Yao, in Jing Xi’s view, probably had another layer of relationship.

There were many Imperial Admirals, but few held real power.

For thirty years, the Commander-in-Chief position was vacant. The military was basically jointly controlled by Pei Zhenyue, Zhao Hongyi, Bai Yi, and another rarely seen Admiral Lin Chengde.

But twenty-five years ago, Lin Chengde suddenly disappeared from public view. A few years later, Bai Yi also declined most affairs due to illness, leaving only Pei Zhenyue and Zhao Hongyi contending as equals.

There were many candidates for Commander-in-Chief, but it could only be chosen from the four of them. This was something everyone tacitly understood.

These four people originally managed their own forces, but that code broke this balance.

Shadow Department (Anbu)—this was a code name long circulating in the military, but in fact, no one knew what that hidden massive force was called.

Many speculated this army was controlled by Lin Chengde, but couldn’t find evidence or his trace.

When first seeing that number, Jing Xi only had some guesses. After all, this force was too mysterious; he only heard of it and never saw it.

But after seeing Zhao Hongyi’s reaction, he was sure.

He didn’t know what relationship Chi Yao had with the Shadow Department. Shadow Department acting might just be lending a hand because they couldn’t stand it.

But in the eyes of Zhao Hongyi and Pei Zhenyue, it was far from simple.

Zhao Hongyi would definitely suspect Lin Chengde and Pei Zhenyue joined forces, and Pei Zhenyue would definitely seize this opportunity to leave the opponent with no room to fight back.

He and Chi Yao might just be tools in this smokeless war.

But he still had one question he hadn’t figured out.

How did Pei Zhenyue know Chi Yao was connected to the Shadow Department?

Just started work in the afternoon, Jing Xi received a meeting notice to continue discussing problems appearing on the Planet 333 battlefield.

In front of all general-rank officers, Pei Zhenyue opened his notebook.

“Before talking about the next things, I want to first praise Flying Dragon’s performance this time. Decisive in killing, orderly in advance and retreat, doing very well in both rescue and clearing, not inferior to established legions at all.”

Being watched by everyone, Jing Xi reluctantly stood up and nodded slightly.

“Thanks to the Chief’s teaching.”

Pei Zhenyue nodded seriously: “Mm, just the eye for choosing a partner still needs improvement. Pay attention to this point.”

Jing Xi: “…”

Are you still not sober?

Others applauded expressionlessly: “…!!!”

Jing Xi has a partner?! Holy shit!

Pei Zhenyue let him sit down, continuing: “The scale of this beast tide was the largest in a century, and the number of high-level mutant beasts was also the most. Needs close attention—”

Many images and data recorded by surveillance during the war appeared in the middle of the round table.

For this kind of post-war review meeting, the longest could last a month.

When talking about northern rescue situation, Pei Zhenyue suddenly snorted coldly, drawing a few circles on the dense beast herd areas in the south.

“These areas had highly dense beast herds, far from residential areas. Flying Dragon solved most of them, but rescue and clearing speed in the north was so much slower than in the south!”

Most people in the military had seen the disturbance online, but many also didn’t believe Cygnus would passively slack off.

Although Commander Li Bo was only a few years older than Jing Xi and counted as very young among generals, the Cygnus Legion had existed for nearly a century. Its system and personnel replacement were the most perfect.

How could such an established legion do such a thing?

But the data displayed on the huge virtual screen forced everyone to believe.

Such a big Cygnus Legion stayed there for a week, resulting in transferring only about ten thousand refugees. If Extreme Shadow hadn’t forcibly opened its “granary”, the amount of supplies distributed would also be seriously lower than average level.

This wasn’t a first-class legion at all; even a team of new recruits this year would have better results than this.

Speaking of Cygnus, Zhao Hongyi, who hadn’t spoken, began to speak sarcastically.

“Isn’t he already suspended pending investigation? What more do you want?”

Pei Zhenyue ignored him, looking at everyone: “Everyone here, you must constantly reflect on the duties of a soldier. If you think having backing allows you to do whatever you want and disregard the masses, I advise you to dismiss the thought early. As long as I’m here one day, don’t think about succeeding.”

Who these words were for, everyone present knew clearly. One by one held their breath, watching nose and heart, afraid the fire would burn to their own heads.

Zhao Hongyi gritted his teeth, enduring: “You all heard it, right?”

Everyone agreed hurriedly.

“Speaking of this, regarding the snatching of armaments, I have already spoken with Extreme Shadow.” Pei Zhenyue crossed his hands in front of him. “The other party only admitted to snatching supplies to distribute to refugees but knew nothing about snatching armaments.”

“Bullshit!” Zhao Hongyi couldn’t bear it. “If it wasn’t them who snatched so many armaments, who did?”

Pei Zhenyue made a gesture to calm down: “This matter involves complexities. The person in charge of Extreme Shadow has promised me to come to Capital Star for a face-to-face confrontation.”

Everyone including Zhao Hongyi was shocked.

That Chi Yao was coming to Capital Star?!

Capital Star in danger, Legions in danger.

Is it still too late to apply for an expedition now?

“No! Too risky!” Zhao Hongyi vetoed directly. “How can a space pirate step onto the land of the Capital?!”

Jing Xi frowned slightly, hands resting on his legs slowly clenching.

“If the Capital is afraid of even one space pirate, then the problem is definitely not the space pirate, but us.” Pei Zhenyue said calmly. “Moreover, Extreme Shadow contributed to the rescue this time, public reaction is strong. The military should also investigate the facts as soon as possible to give positive feedback to the masses.”

Officers supporting Pei Zhenyue echoed one after another—

“Indeed, first time seeing a pirate group doing good deeds.”

“This is a very good opportunity. If we guide properly, maybe we can change the circle of space pirates.”

“Right, facing disaster we should unite against outsiders. Maybe we can issue corresponding reward and punishment policies to encourage civilian organizations to join rescue and clearing, expanding living space for some special groups, essentially reducing crime probability.”

Zhao Hongyi’s face was very bad: “Putting such a person on Capital Star, if something happens, who can bear the responsibility?!”

“I will supervise.” Jing Xi stood up, unhurriedly saying, “I am responsible for twenty-four-hour supervision.”

Zhao Hongyi sneered: “Rumors online say Flying Dragon colluded with Extreme Shadow, and you supervise? You—”

“Jing Xi understands Extreme Shadow and Chi Yao better than all of us. I think it’s quite suitable.” Pei Zhenyue interrupted Zhao Hongyi directly, looking at Jing Xi. “Then trouble you.”

Jing Xi agreed calmly and sat back.

Both completely ignored Zhao Hongyi.

After receiving Jing Xi’s notification, Chi Yao looked at the message received on his terminal, put the newly made mask on his face, and drove Jing Xi’s hovercar to the military headquarters.

When he arrived, Jing Xi was already waiting.

Huang Hao was notifying the legion to hold an emergency meeting. Chi Yao, that demon king, was coming; no amount of wartime preparation was exaggerated.

Don’t want to be stripped down to underwear then; really nowhere to cry.

Driving out of the garage, he just saw Jing Xi talking to someone. The other was a tall alpha with extraordinary bearing but ordinary looks, a face he hadn’t seen before.

Huang Hao honked: “Old Jing, who’s this? Haven’t seen him.”

Jing Xi glanced calmly: “Newly promoted adjutant assistant.”

Huang Hao was shocked: “Your Old Jiang has more assistants than you, the commander!”

“Then I’ll strive to be the commander’s assistant.” Chi Yao smiled at Huang Hao.

Huang Hao paused, chuckling: “This assistant is nice, I like him.”

Chi Yao’s business smile hadn’t faded when he heard Jing Xi say expressionlessly: “Mine even if you like him.”

Chi Yao: “…”

You are childish, wifey.

Huang Hao: “…”

This mouth is truly annoying.

The two walked inside one after another.

Jing Xi: “They will arrive at Military Space Station No. 1 at midnight. We set off in two hours.”

“Okay.” Chi Yao said.

Just speaking, an old man in uniform walked toward them.

The old man looked kind, seemingly smiling even without expression, adding a bit of friendliness.

Seeing him, Chi Yao paused slightly.

“Admiral Bai.” Jing Xi signaled Chi Yao, who immediately understood and saluted with him.

“Xiao Jing, still not going back so late?” Bai Yi said smilingly.

Jing Xi: “Extreme Shadow people are coming tonight; have to make some preparations.”

“Old Pei is too much. You just came back from fighting and get no rest, too hard on you.” Saying so, Bai Yi looked at Chi Yao. “This young man is spirited. This year’s new recruit?”

Chi Yao looked straight at him without answering.

Jing Xi hurriedly said: “Jiang Feng has too much workload. This is a newcomer I recently scouted, preparing to be an assistant for Jiang Feng.”

Bai Yi nodded meeting Chi Yao’s gaze, smiling: “Jing Xi is an excellent officer. You are lucky to follow him. Work hard.”

Chi Yao nodded slightly: “Mm.”

Back in the office, seeing Chi Yao thoughtful, Jing Xi asked in a low voice: “What’s wrong?”

Chi Yao shook his head: “Seem to have seen him somewhere.”

Jing Xi: “He is called Bai Yi, bedridden at home for years. Time spent at the military headquarters doesn’t exceed a month a year. Hasn’t appeared in public view all these years. Impossible for you to know him.”

“Mm.”

Chi Yao leaned against the desk. “But he still looks familiar.”

Jing Xi’s eyes flashed: “Maybe in childhood—”

Chi Yao looked at him: “Hmm?”

Jing Xi shook his head: “Nothing.”

Midnight, Flying Dragon’s spaceship docked at Station No. 1.

Working in the military space station for so many years, first time receiving space pirates! And it’s Extreme Shadow!

Won’t be made to fold clothes later, right?!

Jing Xi stood at the agreed docking port with people waiting.

A moment later, another non-military spaceship approached, docking slowly.

Five levels of pressure chamber doors opened in sequence. Jing Xi led a group of people inside.

“You guard here.” Jing Xi ordered subordinates, leading Chi Yao through the metal passage to the main cabin.

“You are Flying Dragon’s boss? Where is our boss?” A pink buzz-cut alpha ran over.

Chi Yao tore off the mask and threw it to him casually, walking toward the small lounge.

“Where are my clothes?”

“Re, ready!” Pink-head lackey followed hurriedly.

Accustomed to wearing uniforms recently, suddenly changing back to his own clothes, Chi Yao was slightly unaccustomed.

He buttoned up facing the mirror, unbuttoning to the chest a moment later.

“Still looks better this way.”

Opening another lounge door, there was a person wrapped in black cloth inside.

Chi Yao walked over in a few steps, pulling off the black cloth on his head, looking down at him.

The person under the black cloth shook, shrinking back subconsciously.

Greasy matted hair, stubbly beard, emitting a strange smell.

Not long ago he was a high-spirited legion commander.

“Li Bo, long time no see.”

Li Bo glared over with vicious eyes.

“Chi Yao!”

Chi Yao didn’t care much about his hostility, putting on gloves unhurriedly.

Li Bo paused, dodging back subconsciously.

“What do you want to d—mmph!”

Chi Yao grabbed his neck, injecting a tube of reagent into his arm.

“Listen to me well, understand?”

Station No. 1 staff stretched their necks to look, but after waiting and waiting, Major General Jing still didn’t come out.

Wouldn’t be detained there, right?!

Already folding clothes?

Everyone looked at each other, hesitating whether to send a distress signal to headquarters, when Jing Xi finally came out.

The alpha walking beside him was not inferior in either bearing or looks, not overshadowed even standing beside Jing Xi.

This is Extreme Shadow’s boss, the recognized Demon King Chi Yao, right?

Truly fucking—handsome!

Everyone finally moved their eyes from his face, only then realizing belatedly that the person behind them was actually the kidnapped Major General Li Bo!

The other party was neatly uniformed, hair slicked back, looking like he had been living quite well?

Chi Yao noticed these gazes, deliberately turning to smile at Li Bo: “Major General Li, what a pity. If a few days later, I could have taken you to play on Neptune.”

Li Bo clenched his back molars, pulling a stiff smile at the corner of his mouth.

“No need, played enough recently. Can’t delay your serious business.”

They intended to send Li Bo back first and go to the military headquarters tomorrow, but Zhao Hongyi sent people to intercept halfway.

2:00 AM, Military Headquarters Conference Hall.

Chi Yao sat in the middle, surrounded by a group of officers.

He rested his chin and yawned: “Say what you want quickly, sleepy to death.”

In front of everyone including Pei Zhenyue, Zhao Hongyi had subordinates play footage recorded by Cygnus surveillance.

“These are ironclad proofs of Extreme Shadow snatching armaments!”

Chi Yao glanced indifferently.

“Just this? Anyway, whoever snatches things is Extreme Shadow people. So Imperial Admirals are unreasonable too.”

Zhao Hongyi slapped the table in anger: “If not Extreme Shadow, who is it?!”

Chi Yao: “How would I know?”

Zhao Hongyi: “I think you are—”

Chi Yao interrupted him: “You can’t just dump any shit bucket on Extreme Shadow’s head just because Extreme Shadow appeared. Losing so many armaments, never thought someone might be stealing from inside?”

Zhao Hongyi choked, retorting louder.

“These warships in the footage are all Extreme Shadow’s, no room for your quibbling!”

Chi Yao leaned back, crossing hands in front.

“This kind of non-military Type 95 warship can be bought as long as you have enough money. Not Extreme Shadow’s patent.”

Zhao Hongyi: “Then what about these people! Red and green hair isn’t Extreme Shadow’s tradition?!”

Chi Yao spread his hands: “These hair colors are long outdated. If Extreme Shadow people dare dye these colors, wages will be deducted.”

Zhao Hongyi pointed a trembling finger at him: “You—you—!”

Extreme Shadow had a huge number of people; the military had very few precise data files.

If Chi Yao and other main members didn’t appear in the surveillance footage, the military couldn’t judge if it was Extreme Shadow just by surveillance.

But the difficulty was, these warships appeared for the first time, without any markings or releasing any signals related to Extreme Shadow.

Having no choice, Zhao Hongyi pointed at Li Bo: “What about him? How do you account for kidnapping an officer?”

“What kidnapping? Saying it so ugly.” Chi Yao smiled, looking at Li Bo. “I just appreciate Admiral Li very much, invited him back to play for a while. Understanding us vulnerable groups more will also help his future career, right?”

Zhao Hongyi: “Bullshit!”

Receiving Chi Yao’s gaze, Li Bo endured and endured, whispering: “Indeed gained a lot.”

Zhao Hongyi was dumbfounded.

Li Bo this kid wasn’t made stupid by Extreme Shadow, was he!

An hour later, Chi Yao walked out slowly with hands in pockets, yawning.

At the door, he glanced at Zhao Hongyi glaring at him, corners of his lips rising slightly.

—Blocking the sky with one hand isn’t only you.

Half an hour later, the sky-blocking Demon King was humming a song squatting in front of the litter box scooping poop.

When Jing Xi went downstairs after reporting work, Chi Yao was sitting on the floor fiddling with something. Yao Yao squatted on the sofa armrest, extending claws to watch him indifferently.

“Still not sleeping?” Jing Xi walked over.

Chi Yao: “Couldn’t sleep after being disturbed by those old men.”

Jing Xi sat beside him, picking up a wooden box to examine.

Chi Yao made four, palm-sized, open, one side board higher, like a shoehorn.

“What is this?” Jing Xi asked.

Chi Yao whittled bit by bit with a military knife.

“Guess?”

Jing Xi turned it over and over: “Coffin?”

Chi Yao: “…”

Didn’t know whether to say this imagination was poor or rich.

Chi Yao: “Guess again.”

Jing Xi looked seriously for a few minutes.

“Small coffin?”

Chi Yao: “…”

Facing Chi Yao’s gaze wanting to hit someone, Jing Xi pointed at the “shoehorn”, face wooden: “This is a tombstone.”

Chi Yao: “……”

Jing Xi rested his chin thoughtfully: “If this thing comes from your hand, it is indeed very deterring. But sending them coffins right away, isn’t it drawing too much hate?”

Chi Yao: “Them?”

Jing Xi turned to look at him: “Isn’t it for Zhao Hongyi and them? Exactly four.”

Chi Yao: “…”
