elighted by this prospect.“Of course.” Xia Tian chuckled, turning his head to look at Ye Mengying. "Sis Beauty, please leave first. Don't let anyone enter before we come out."“Okay,” replied Ye Shaoyo...Chapter 1469: The Elixir Society
"Why didn't you send me a gift" Qiao Feng'er pouted.
"Sure, I can give myself to you," Xia Tian chuckled.
"Then I'll also give myself to you!" Qiao Feng'er retorted不服氣地。
"Alright, then let me check the gift now." Xia Tian naturally didn't hesitate and started unwrapping the gifts, checking them leisurely.
The next morning, in the conference room of Shen Yi Group, several stunning and sexy women were seated. They weren't all from Shen Yi Group, but they were all Xia Tian's women. Besides the president of Shen Yi Group, Ye Mengying, Qiao Xiaoqiao, Sun Xinxin, and Liu Yunman were also present.
"Recently, our company has encountered some issues, so let's discuss how to deal with them together since they seem to be targeting us." A hint of concern appeared on the beautiful face of Ye Mengying. "All operations of Shen Yi Group have been comprehensively obstructed, both in domestic and international markets. These days, we've been greatly affected, and two days ago, a senior executive from our group was lured into custody by the FBI in America; they haven't released him yet."
"My Chao Foundation has also been hit by a massive financial attack. The opponent's financial resources are so雄厚, leaving us far behind."
"Recently, my charity organization has faced many plots and schemes, with even rumors circulating that we're trafficking children. Overall, there have been quite a few troublesome issues."
"My Blue Sky Technology Company is somewhat better off, but from overseas, our company has been accused of training hackers, pinning all sorts of cyberattacks on government and commercial websites in foreign countries onto us."
"Actually, I've already uncovered the identity of the opponent," said Qiao Xiaoqiao after glancing at the other three women. "A group called Eternal Life Society is behind these events. Their real target isn't us but my husband. The initiator of this organization is Ding Xiang, who was once the richest man in Yue Nan City. He hoped that my husband would bestow upon him the elixir of immortality, but when my husband refused, a few months ago, Ding Xiang threatened me, saying he'd go to any lengths necessary. At that time, my husband had something else on his mind, so I didn't pay much attention. But now, it turns out he's really causing us such great trouble."
"Who exactly are the members of this Eternal Life Society" Ye Mengying asked Qiao Xiaoqiao.
"Mostly they're wealthy individuals and some high-ranking officials. A common trait among them is that they are all relatively older, or facing death, and none of them want to die. Ding Xiang lures them with the promise of eternal life and organizes them into this society. The majority of its members are now in America, and their financial strength is quite astonishing—reportedly at least a trillion dollars. Given that each of them has various social networks, there's no doubt it’s an extremely powerful organization," said Qiao Xiaoqiao with some concern. "I've calculated our total liquid assets combined from all of us, including what Money-Money can mobilize and what the Dark Team can use, but we still only amount to about a trillion yuan, which is less compared to theirs. If we were to engage them in a commercial battle, I don't think we'd have much chance of winning."
"Actually, there's still a possibility of us winning. Although our funds are limited, it’s not impossible for us to triumph with fewer resources," Ye Mengying said after some thought.
"Should we talk to Summer about it" Sun Xinxin asked.
"For business matters, I think it's better not to trouble my husband. We can handle it ourselves," said Ye Mengying with a shake of her head.
"Sis Beauty, how is this related to business" Summer’s voice suddenly appeared, and he instantly materialized in the meeting room, one arm around Ye Mengying and the other around Qiao Xiaoqiao. "You two don’t need to worry about this. The previous Sister Isabella was keeping an eye on those guys, but there were some issues a few days ago, causing her to lose track of them. Now, Fairy Veil has taken over and will locate the headquarters of Eternal Life Society. Once they find it, I’ll swoop in."
After pausing for a moment, Summer added, "Sis Beauty, this isn’t about business. Old Ding Xiang merely used his most proficient methods to deal with me, so naturally, I will employ my own most adept methods against him. There’s no need to use our weaknesses against their strengths. I’ll also make it clear to everyone that they shouldn’t have any thoughts about eternal life here because otherwise, I’ll shorten their lives even further!"
“My husband is right. We should indeed teach those people a lesson; otherwise, we'll encounter endless trouble in the future.” Qiao Xiaoqiao thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
"Alright then, dear, leave it to you to handle this. Once Eternal Life Society is taken care of, all our current troubles will naturally disappear." Ye Mengying no longer insisted on resolving things through business tactics alone.
“Mm-hmm, I’ll be going now.” Summer came and went swiftly; the four women felt as though they had each been kissed on their faces and pinched somewhere high up. After that, he vanished without a trace.
The four women's faces were slightly flushed, and they looked at each other helplessly; their husband was becoming more and more shameless.
In the evening, in the capital city.
In a villa courtyard, on the lawn, the once famous first-generation Dark Emperor Lu Ren was sitting in a rattan chair. Next to him, a woman named Wenrou was feeding him grapes gently.
"Third Master, your life seems pretty good!" A lazy voice suddenly rang out. In the Dark Emperor's line of sight appeared a young man—Summer.
"Kid, how can you still find time to come to the capital city As far as I know, you've taken all your women to Jianghai City; not a single one of those four famous beauties in Beijing is left. Even that girl named Mei’er from Dark Group has been taken by you. What brings you here then Are there any women left in the city worth looking at" Lu Ren looked at Summer with some surprise, clearly somewhat surprised to see him here.
"Third Master, I've come especially for you today," Summer stretched out his arms and legs. "This is it: You spent twenty years on the mountain wasting your youth; I'll make up for that by extending your life by a hundred or two hundred years."
"Why live so long" Lu Ren shook his head, "Do you expect me to be a lonely old man for decades"
"Well, Third Master, although I won't come to visit you often, I can still drop by occasionally. As you see, my disciple is quite capable, right" Xia Tian chuckled mischievously, "Besides, you could always find more wives."
"Forget it." Lü Ren shook his head. "Kid, I know your capabilities and that you're able to do this for me. However, I don't wish to live forever like those immortals; unlike you, who have so many lovely companions around to keep you company, living for a thousand years wouldn’t make you feel lonely. If you truly want to help me out, then just let me add another thirty years onto my life. That way, I'll be exactly 30 years older than Wenrou, and we’ll both depart from this world at roughly the same time."
"Alright." Xia Tian didn’t insist; he took out a small bottle and handed it to Lü Ren: "There's a pill in here. Once you take it, your lifespan will be extended by thirty years."
Lü Ren accepted it and then asked: "Kid, I suppose you've also approached Ghost Doctor and God of Death regarding the matter; how did they decide"
"The First Master doesn't want to extend his life, as for the Second Master, he hopes to add twenty years," Xia Tian replied.
"As expected, it's not far from what I guessed." Lü Ren smiled calmly. "We are all still ordinary people in the end; immortality is something beyond our reach."
"Third Master, if you change your mind later on, remember how to find me," Xia Tian left with a fleeting remark.
The next second, Xia Tian was back on Immortal Island. The current Immortal Island was like a palace on the water, combining ancient charm with modern flair,堪稱完美。 This truly was a divine land.
In the lake, Anxin was playing in the water with Ji Qingying while standing beside them was a tall and sexy figure—Yè Yumei. At this moment, Yè Yumei’s expression had an odd look as she stared at Ji Qingying.
"Leggy girl, you don’t actually want to hit her again, do you" Xia Tian casually hugged Yè Yumei's incredibly slender waist and looked a little worried. "She’s just like a clueless little girl. If you really want to hit someone, shouldn’t you hit the other Ji Qingying In any case, I think you should thank her because without her, how would you have found such an amazing husband as me"
"You’re the one who should thank her." Yè Yumei let out a cold snort. "Don’t think I don’t know about your perverted thoughts. Although you didn’t know at that time, if she really talked to you about it, you’d definitely agree."
“Uh…Leggy girl, don’t dwell on past events. In any case, you’re my wife and I’m your husband. As for her, she’s just our matchmaker. It’s not right to hit a matchmaker.” Xia Tian hurriedly said.
"You rush back here so quickly because you were worried that I would hit her" Yè Yumei glanced at Xia Tian. "Actually, I’m a bit puzzled why you didn’t create another clone of yourself and return to Immortal Cloud Continent with her."
“That’s impossible.” Xia Tian shook his head. “I am Xia Tian, the one-of-a-kind Xia Tian. There will never be another person like me in this world, nor would I ever create a clone. I am unique, and you all belong to me alone.”ore clearly I’m a bit confused," Xia Qiao asked."Oh right, simply put, those three guys might have been hypnotized," Xia Tian explained, "Once new memories were implanted in them, they would believe t...
