Chapter 1422 -1406: Offering Strategies (Part 2)

Huyan Lie heavily patted Song Xiaodong’s shoulder and said, “Alright! This matter is entirely up to you, but if it can’t be done, you must protect yourself. As long as you can come back safely, I don’t care about the rest.”

Song Xiaodong nodded, then clasped his fists toward the others and said, “I will go back and prepare now. I will set off tomorrow, and whether in two or three days, or at most five days, I will definitely return.”

Huyan Lie said, “Wait, is Mr. Song going to bring anyone with you on this trip?”

Song Xiaodong replied, “I won’t take anyone. Going alone is enough. I hope Lord Huyan will take good care of my family.”

Huyan Lie nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will protect your family for ten days. Within ten days, I guarantee their safety.” Then his gaze swept to the Old Master of the Cao Family.

Implicitly, if Song Xiaodong doesn’t return within ten days, then Huarui and Huaqing, along with those Family Guards given to him, will have to be withdrawn.

Simultaneously, this was a warning to the Cao Family, not to think of targeting Huarui and Huaqing just because Song Xiaodong isn’t home.

Song Xiaodong understood this completely, nodded, and said, “Then wait for my good news.” He then strode out.

Chapter 1407

Returning to his home, Song Xiaodong first found Zhang Long and several team leaders in the front yard. He informed them he would be out for a few days and asked them to lead the team properly.

After the last great battle, Zhang Long had somewhat the demeanor of a leader, quickly agreeing, though his eyes revealed a desire to go with Song Xiaodong. But since Song Xiaodong hadn’t mentioned it, and he’s also considered a leader at home, Song Xiaodong leaving meant he had to take charge of the household.

Going to the backyard, Huarui and Huaqing quickly approached. These two young girls, having been nourished by Song Xiaodong these past few days, seemed increasingly radiant, coupled with their unique obedience to men, which added another flavor.

In terms of looks, the two young girls were indeed quite beautiful, but they didn’t seem prettier than the women in Song Xiaodong’s family. However, the women in his family were modern and, even kind to Song Xiaodong, weren’t entirely submissive to him; they had their own thoughts and ways of handling things.

But Huarui and Huaqing lived in a place wholly ruled by men, and to Song Xiaodong, they were utterly obedient, genuinely good to him to their core; their gaze and hearts were solely for Song Xiaodong, even losing themselves.

“Huarui, Huaqing, I will be gone for a few days.” Song Xiaodong pulled the two to sit by the bed.

“Alright, sir.” They both agreed in unison without asking where Song Xiaodong was going, though their eyes showed a hint of reluctance.

Having just tasted the sweetness of love, they were eager to be with Song Xiaodong every day. Now facing separation, even just for a few days, was still hard to bear.

Looking at their expressions, Song Xiaodong thought of the people at home, wondering how they must miss him now. He had told his family he could return in half a month, yet in this world, it’s already been nearly ten days, and who knows how long it will be before he can go back.

“Why is sir sighing?” Huarui cautiously asked.

Song Xiaodong gently shook his head and said, “I miss my family.”

“Is sir missing his wife?” Huarui asked again.

“Yes!” Song Xiaodong nodded; he indeed missed his wife, but the wife he referred to wasn’t Qingluan, but those at home.

“Sir, the wife…” Huaqing hesitated but wanted to speak.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “You want to ask why my wife left, and I neither search for her nor worry about her?”

Huarui and Huaqing both nodded.

Song Xiaodong said, “In our world, women have their own affairs and careers; they don’t entirely respect men. My wife felt bored here, so she went out to explore the world by herself.”

“Ah?” Both Huarui and Huaqing were stunned, what Song Xiaodong described as normal was like a fairy tale to them.

Song Xiaodong continued, “My wife is skilled in kung fu, so I don’t worry about her encountering any accidents. This matter, I haven’t told anyone, so you mustn’t tell anyone else.”

Huarui hurriedly said, “Yes, yes! We won’t tell anyone; we are your people. Even if the City Lord asks us, we won’t say anything.”

Huaqing also nodded vigorously, saying, “Sir, rest assured, if we reveal this matter, we’ll feed ourselves to the Python God.”

Song Xiaodong trusted the two young girls but still didn’t share the matter of his departure, considering the impact might be too overwhelming and potentially cause unnecessary trouble.

Song Xiaodong then asked, “By the way, when you say feeding the Python God, can you also see the Python God?”

Huarui shook her head and replied, “We’ve never seen the Python God, but we’ve heard there’s a passage leading to the Python God, though it can’t come out from there. Anyone who commits a grave mistake is sent through that passage to feed the Python God as the heaviest punishment.”

“I see.” Song Xiaodong nodded, feeling this might be similar to the passage he entered, although his passage was smaller and hadn’t been discovered by the locals.

“Sir…” Huarui shyly whispered.

“Hmm?” Song Xiaodong, lost in thought, looked at Huarui questioningly.

Huarui gently bit her lip and said, “Sir will be leaving tomorrow; should we… serve sir well today?”

Song Xiaodong’s heart fluttered, laughing heartily, he tightened his arms, pulling both into his embrace, saying, “Naturally.”

The two young girls immediately snuggled into Song Xiaodong’s arms, and soon the three were rolling on the bed.

Song Xiaodong indulged to his heart’s content today, with Huarui and Huaqing doing their utmost to please, from day to night, resting when tired, then resuming once regained strength—no one knew how much affection they exchanged, nearly to the point of ridiculousness.

The next day, Song Xiaodong quietly left the backyard without waking Huarui and Huaqing.

“Sir!” Just arriving in the front yard, people immediately came to greet him.

Song Xiaodong was quite satisfied with these people, each very diligent, probably owing to him defeating Cao Lian and resisting Falcon Country’s hundred men with just twenty of his own, earning him significant prestige among them.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “I’m heading out, don’t slack in training, I’ll inspect upon return.”

“Yes!”

Under the gaze of two Family Guards, Song Xiaodong left this world’s home.

This place wasn’t particularly large. After walking for over two hours, Song Xiaodong barely covered twenty kilometers and had left Black Dragon City’s territory to reach White Tiger City’s domain.

This was because he detoured from the side; otherwise, his appearance obviously coming from Black Dragon City would easily raise suspicion.

In this undeveloped communication place, Song Xiaodong wasn’t worried that news from Black Dragon City would reach White Tiger City, so arriving here, he didn’t conceal his identity.

However, due to the sparse population in these areas, Song Xiaodong wandered White Tiger City’s domain for quite a while before finally encountering people.

This was a group of people hunting, totaling over ten. Seeing Song Xiaodong, they immediately rushed over and surrounded him.

Looking at Song Xiaodong’s shoulder lacking tattoos, their eyes were clearly filled with confusion, unable to discern where Song Xiaodong came from.
