Chapter 811: The Beginning of the Chess Game

Luo Xuan was simply dumbfounded. The Eldest Miss had absolutely no barrier communicating with this white ape.

"Luo Xuan, its name is Dun Dun," Ye Qianning said.

Luo Xuan snapped back to his senses. His large hand subconsciously rubbed against his clothes before he reached out to shake Dun Dun’s little paw.

It was so soft...

Dun Dun waved its paw. After the physical contact, it was no longer afraid of the human in front of it. Its beady eyes stared at him, clear and innocent.

When had Luo Xuan’s rough, large hands ever held such a soft paw? He could feel the fleshy paw pads—soft and warm. Even he felt the urge to give them a good rub.

Dun Dun retracted its paw, curled up, and looked up at Ye Qianning as if seeking praise.

Ye Qianning habitually rubbed its head.

Luo Xuan stared at Dun Dun with a hint of delight on his face. The little thing was truly cute.

"Luo Xuan, come with me. I need you to do something for me," Ye Qianning said, withdrawing her hand and looking up.

"Yes."

Ye Qianning found a private room in the corner. Upon entering, her Inner Strength instantly dispersed, blocking out all outside noise.

Sensing the powerful Inner Strength, Luo Xuan was quietly shocked. The Eldest Miss’s Inner Strength was actually this formidable. Ten years ago, they were no match for her. Ten years later, she was even further beyond their reach.

"I want you to deliver this into the largest black market of the Four Nations." Ye Qianning retrieved a ball-sized fruit from her spatial realm.

The fruit was black on the left and white on the right, separated by a curved line down the middle, perfectly resembling a Taiji symbol.

Luo Xuan’s eyes widened in utter horror and astonishment. "Is this the Yin-Yang Genesis?"

"Correct."

"Eldest Miss, the moment this item appears, it will definitely cause a sensation across the Four Nations." The Yin-Yang Genesis before his eyes was more than twice the size of the one given to the old man back then.

This Yin-Yang Genesis still had its branches, leaves, and roots attached, looking as if it had just been plucked fresh from the soil.

"I want to shock the world. I want this Yin-Yang Genesis to appear naturally in the martial world. No matter how many twists and turns it takes, in three months, I want it to show up at the Bai Mu Xun black market of the Four Nations."

"Yes, your subordinate will definitely get it done," Luo Xuan said, dropping to one knee.

Ye Qianning handed the Yin-Yang Genesis over to him.

Luo Xuan took it, stood up, and walked over to the table. He pulled off the tablecloth to tightly wrap the Yin-Yang Genesis, bowed, and exited the room.

Ye Qianning’s eyes darkened. The chess game was about to begin. The Yin-Yang Genesis was merely a stepping stone; it all depended on which nation took the bait more eagerly.

After arranging several matters, it was nearly noon.

Zhan Chi managed to steal a moment of leisure from his busy schedule, rushing over to the Immortal Sea Building to have lunch with Ye Qianning.

During the meal, if he wasn’t cursing the East Shu envoy Wang Li, he was cursing Beili’s Li Mu. After cursing them, he started on Nanyuan’s Old Prince Feng. When that wasn’t enough to vent his anger, he began cursing the entire populace of Nanyuan.

"Dad, take a break and have some tea." Ye Qianning didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she raised her hand to serve him tea.

Zhan Chi took it and downed it in one gulp, slamming the cup heavily onto the table. "With an emperor and citizens like that, Nanyuan deserves to be poor! Poor for a lifetime! They destroyed the port themselves, and now that we’ve stopped buying their seafood, they’re cursing us behind our backs for not leaving them a way to survive. It’s truly disgusting."

"An upright person doesn’t fear a crooked shadow. Let them say what they want. Whether they cry or laugh in the future has nothing to do with us." Ye Qianning picked up the teapot and poured him another cup.

"I didn’t even want to pay them any mind, but do you know what they just did? They actually went to Li Mu and asked Beili to buy up their current seafood stock. Buying the seafood is one thing, and cursing Gu Shuo is bad enough, but they actually dared to curse you! How could I possibly tolerate that?"
