493: Chapter 0493: Hellfire and the Queen 493: Chapter 0493: Hellfire and the Queen As soon as he returned to the Tingxiang Shuixie villa, Mada Wang was the first to greet Ye Xunhuan.
By now, Ye Xunhuan had beco completely accustod to this, even though he had told Mada Wang many tis to ignore him and just go about her business!
But Mada Wang had never listened even once, saying sothing about the distinction between master and servant.
This left Ye Xunhuan feeling quite helpless and without any way to stop Mada Wang, so he just let her be.
In the villa’s living room, Qiu Ruoxi was sitting on the sofa, leafing through a finance magazine.
Even when Ye Xunhuan ca back, she didn’t look up at him once.
As if the finance magazine in her hands was far more charming and attractive than Ye Xunhuan.
Qiu Ruoxi ignored him, and he ignored Qiu Ruoxi in return.
In this way, under such a suffocating atmosphere, they continued until Mada Wang finished cooking dinner, and they ate together!
At the dinner table, Qiu Ruoxi ate silently.
Perhaps this was a habit of Qiu Ruoxi’s, to seldom speak during als, or rather to dislike speaking.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much either but ate voraciously like a starving ghost, which was quite unseemly.
“Son-in-law, eat slowly, there’s no need to rush!” Mada Wang said cheerfully with a smile, “Lest you choke yourself!”
“Mada Wang, your cooking is just too delicious; I simply can’t control myself!” Ye Xunhuan replied with a grin, looking up at Mada Wang.
When dinner was nearly over, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly said, “I heard you received an invitation today?”
“Mhm!”
Ye Xunhuan wasn’t at all surprised that she knew about the invitation, since he had run into Qiu Ruoxi’s secretary!
After Ye Xunhuan responded with a light uh-huh and then fell silent, a wave of discomfort surged inside Qiu Ruoxi; this jerk, she had asked him, yet he didn’t even know to tell her who it was from!
With no other choice, Qiu Ruoxi asked again, “Who is it from?”
“It’s signed by Pei Zhencuan and He Sichan, but as to who it’s really from, I have no idea,” Ye Xunhuan said quietly.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s face revealed a look of surprise.
Pei Zhencuan issuing Ye Xunhuan an invitation was like a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken—there was certainly no good intention!
“What do you plan to do?”
“Of course I’ll go.
I can’t just decline soone’s invitation,” Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation, “And wife, you have an invitation too, right?
We could go there together!”
Qiu Ruoxi’s eyebrows imdiately knitted together, her eyes instantly filled with a layer of frost.
This bastard clearly knew she was not asking about that, yet here he was, playing dumb!
“I would advise you not to go.
The Pei family doesn’t have the magnanimity to let bygones be bygones about the past,” Qiu Ruoxi said slowly!
“Wife, I know you’re concerned about , but rest assured, I will be fine, you don’t have to worry about becoming a young widow,” Ye Xunhuan said.
Seeing that Ye Xunhuan was bantering with her again, Qiu Ruoxi snorted coldly and didn’t say anything more, heading straight upstairs.
This jerk, she had asked him kindly and sincerely, but who would have thought he’d start babbling on at her!
Qiu Ruoxi was in no mood to banter with Ye Xunhuan at the mont.
After Qiu Ruoxi left, Ye Xunhuan didn’t stay sitting there either, but returned to his own room.
Ever since Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong left, Qiu Ruoxi had kicked Ye Xunhuan out of her boudoir with a single kick, casting him once again into the cold palace.
After returning to his room, Ye Xunhuan lit a cigarette and started smoking while opening his computer.
The dense smoke billowed from Ye Xunhuan’s mouth, enveloping his face in clouds that made his expression seem complex.
He then took a deep breath with the cigarette in his mouth and, opening the browser, his fingers flew across the keyboard.
After entering the website address, Ye Xunhuan hit the enter key, and a video call popped up imdiately.
On the computer screen, a fierce fire blazed, with white bones piled beneath the flas, making the whole scene look like a special effect from a magical 3D video.
Above the flas, several eerie blue characters indicated “Video call connecting!”
About a minute later, the video call connected, and the characters slowly vanished, but the fierce fire continued to burn.
In the video appeared a Caucasian man with yellow curly hair, brown pupils, and a goatee, looking very rough and formidable!
As soon as the man saw Ye Xunhuan in the video, his face imdiately showed an incomparable excitent, “Herman, greets the King!”
Herman!
If these three words were heard by those in the underworld, no doubt many would be fearful, especially in countries plagued by perennial wars!
That’s because this man was a rcenary, and not just any rcenary, but the commander of the Hellfire rcenary Legion!
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Herman’s face was not only filled with excitent, but his eyes also revealed an intense fla.
It was the fla of worship for a powerful figure.
“Long ti no see, how’s everything going?”
“Thanks to the King’s concern, Herman is doing very well.
It’s just…
where are you now, my King?
We all miss you terribly!” Even though Herman was excited to face Ye Xunhuan, he also seed sowhat nervous.
“Buddy, don’t be so tense, be more relaxed,” Ye Xunhuan noticed Herman’s inner nervousness, “I’m not going to eat you!”
“King, I’ve tried to relax as much as possible, but your identity is just too noble, I have to maintain enough respect for you…”
Ye Xunhuan let out a bitter smile, “Alright, then maintain enough respect for .”
“King, where are you now?” Herman couldn’t help asking, “When you left without a word, we all thought you had abandoned your subjects!”
“I’m in Huaxia!”
“OH, MY GOD!” Herman looked at Ye Xunhuan with disbelief, “My King, why did you go to Huaxia?
That place isn’t fun at all!”
“This is my country!” Ye Xunhuan said faintly, “I had to return eventually!”
“Although I don’t like that country, if it’s the King’s country, then I will make myself like it.”
Seeing Herman’s earnest deanor, Ye Xunhuan smiled, “Old pal, I contacted you today because I need your help with sothing.”
“My King, whatever you want to do, just command !” Herman said respectfully.
Ye Xunhuan did not speak imdiately but thought seriously for a mont, “Send a few people to Jiangzhong City in Huaxia for .
I need rcenaries with the strength of mid-level warriors.
Of course, if you could send a high-level warrior, that would make even happier.
But there’s one more thing – the ones I want must be good at hiding.”
“My King, if Herd may be so bold to ask, what are you planning to do?
Huaxia’s laws and regulations are very strict, and the Hidden Dragons would not allow any of the Hellfire people to set foot there…”
“I’ve run into so trouble recently and am worried that soone might harm my wife, so I need so people to ensure her safety…”
“OH, MY GOD, my King, have you found us a great Queen?” Herd interrupted Ye Xunhuan excitedly, “I think everyone would be very happy if they knew this news!”
“My King, Herd will get on it at once, and will send the finest warriors to protect the Queen!”
