Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 140 My underlings are awesome!

Yunyi frowned. First, there was the Illusion Star Daoist who could bring people back to life, and now there's this fairy's Jade Complexion Pill. Just from the name, it sounds like it can reverse aging.

And such things, including the nobles in the capital they mentioned, are obviously related to the royal family without any investigation.

Clearly, things are getting more and more complicated.

Sixteen, all I wanted was to retire, relax, and enjoy a carefree retirement. And what happened? Now you've given me all this trouble. Can I just give up?

"Boss, now that you've become Fang Yunyi, you're entangled in karma. You can quit, but even if you avoid these things, you'll definitely encounter other problems, perhaps even more troublesome and annoying ones."

Yunyi: ...

"Boss, don't you always say 'since you're here, make the best of it'? Think about it, in this world, there's no such thing as truly being able to lie down and relax. Humans are social animals; wherever there are people, there will be trouble—that's an eternal truth."

So, you're implying that I still have to manage things, right?

"Hey buddy, let me explain. They say it's rare for someone to live to seventy. In this day and age, even if you live to seventy, that's still half a century, right? You can't just lie around all the time, can you? You can use the first twenty years to settle everything, and then spend the next thirty years enjoying your grandchildren and living a leisurely life, can't you?"

[Sixteen, you've already been removed from the Quick Transmigration System, how come you're still so good at manipulating people? What you said was indeed quite good, but please don't say it again.]

sixteen:……

Just then, someone rushed over and reported at the door, "Madam, something has happened."

Upon hearing this, the two people who were deeply in love inside the room quickly separated. After dressing properly, Du Rumei opened the door and asked, "What happened?"

"It's that guy who arrived just two days ago, who injured our guards and ran away."

"Useless." Du Rumei kicked the man. "Quickly bring him back."

Yunyi's eyes lit up. If she wasn't mistaken, she was referring to He Wei. Since he had escaped, she had to help him. She adjusted her mask, took out a black handkerchief and covered her head with it, leaving only her eyes exposed, before jumping down.

At this moment, in the backyard of the villa, He Wei held a dagger to the neck of a maid in front of him, surrounded by guards.

“Brother Wei, wouldn’t it be better to be with me?” Du Rumei swayed her hips as she walked over. “I can give you everything you want.”

"Pah!" He Wei spat. "What the hell? Tonight, it's either me leaving or me dying."

"Hehe." Du Rumei suddenly laughed. "To be honest, I really like your looks and your body. It would be such a pity if you died, but... you're so ungrateful. Since that's the case..."

"If you dare to move, I'll kill her." He Wei used his dagger to cut the old woman's neck.

"Madam, please save this servant..." The old woman was Du Rumei's wet nurse, a person of status, and one of the more influential people He Wei could come into contact with.

However, He Wei overestimated Du Rumei's kindness. She was just a wet nurse; how could she possibly become a handle to threaten him? So, the moment the wet nurse opened her mouth to ask for help, an arrow pierced her forehead.

Brain matter and blood splattered all over He Wei's face, freezing him in place.

Although he has been fighting all these years and people have died, nothing has ever been this tragic.

Yunyi couldn't help but utter a phrase about national essence. Just as she was about to throw the silver needle in her hand, screams suddenly came from the surrounding walls, followed by the squeaking of monkeys. There was even a cry of an eagle in the air. Then, someone was grabbed by Nineteen and thrown to the ground.

[Boss, how's my little brother doing? Still pretty capable, right?]

Yunyi: ...

Can you connect with them on a deeper level?

[After all, we were once the same kind, and now there's a trace of my consciousness within Monkey Sixteen, so we can synchronize.]

【Good.】 Yunyi gave her approval.

He Wei originally thought he was going to die here, but when he saw the eagle in the sky and the monkey that hopped up to him, he immediately smiled. He knew that Sister Yun would definitely not abandon him.

Because of the mischief caused by Monkeys Sixteen and Nineteen, the courtyard was thrown into chaos. Four experts who were hiding in the shadows were all ruined.

The guards in the courtyard were no match for him; He Wei could take on two of them by himself. Led by Monkey Sixteen, he quickly climbed over the wall and then jumped down in full view of everyone.

But the guards quickly realized what was happening and rushed out to chase after them.

He Wei had only taken two steps when someone tugged at him and dragged him up to a large tree nearby.

"Sister Yun, I knew it..."

Shhh!

Yunyi made a shushing gesture.

He Wei quickly covered his mouth.

The servants and guards darted past under the tree.

The experts had recovered by then. They tried to catch the monkey, but it had disappeared. They tried to shoot the eagle, but it had vanished. In the end, they could only endure the pain on their faces and try to catch He Wei.

After watching everyone run away, Yunyi picked up He Wei from the tree and hurriedly returned to the Yun residence.

"Big brother..." Xu Zhuzi and the others burst into tears of joy when they saw He Wei. "It's so good that you're alright."

"What could he possibly want?" Yunyi chuckled. "It's a great opportunity that I couldn't be happier with."

"Sister Yun, please stop making fun of me." He Wei scratched his head. "That woman is a pervert."

"Big brother, you... you did that?" Ge Niu looked at He Wei with curiosity.

"You son of a gun," He Wei kicked him. "Why are you guys so excited that I got arrested?"

"How could that be? We're just envious. Look, it's because you're prettier than us, so..." Fang Liang raised an eyebrow slightly, "Everyone understands."

"Alright, stop joking around." Yunyi interrupted the group's teasing. "What do you think about this, Brother Wei?"

“There’s something wrong with the Du family.” He Wei’s face darkened immediately. “That Du Rumei has kidnapped a lot of men, all young, who should be in their prime, but I’ve seen two of them, and they’re both pale and thin, just like…” He scratched his head, “just like…”

"It's like someone has sucked all your energy out of you."

“Yes.” He Wei nodded.

"Isn't that just like in those storybooks, where spirits and monsters replenish their yang energy by absorbing yin?" He Miao exclaimed. "Could it be that Du Rumei isn't human?"

*****

He Wei: Hey, it's almost the end of the month.

Sixth: So what?

He Wei: I almost got raped, shouldn't you do something for me?

"Six": How to express this?

He Wei: It's up to you. Watch a video? Give it five stars? Leave a comment? Whatever you want.

Sixth: ...
