The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 376 - 346: Don’t Interrupt My Barbecue

"Honey, I miss you."These words melted most of the ice around Gu Yanjing’s heart.

He looked at Qiao Yuxian, feeling helpless with her, and could only pinch her chin and gently rocked it.

Qiao Yuxian held his hand and smiled at him, "Did you miss me a lot?"

"Mm." Gu Yanjing touched her little face.

Qiao Yuxian laughed happily, her eyes curving, and handed him the juice.

Gu Yanjing took it and drank a bit, "Weren’t you going to M Continent."

Before Qiao Yuxian went to M Continent, she had mentioned it to Gu Yanjing.

She didn’t give specifics, just said she had some business there and was taking Yuan Wei, not Su Qi and Meng Yan.

She didn’t go into details, so Gu Yanjing didn’t ask further, just gave her a number to call if needed.

"Yes." Qiao Yuxian put on her sunglasses, smiling as she said, "The place I went was relatively close to here. I heard it’s great for barbecues here, so I came over."

Gu Yanjing listened to her explanation.

"Of course, it’s mainly because you’re here." Qiao Yuxian added.

Gu Yanjing nudged her nose with a finger.

Qin Xia and the other two, seeing that they had almost finished their conversation, came over.

Qiao Yuxian stood up and greeted them.

Lin Huai Shu looked at her, his features distorted with surprise, wanting to say something but finding himself momentarily speechless.

Chu Zhengran remained relatively calm, having gotten some hints from Qin Xia and Gu Yanjing, but her sudden appearance still surprised him.

Qin Xia pulled Qiao Yuxian aside, asking quietly, "Why did you come in person?"

"Yan Ting forced me to come." Qiao Yuxian whispered back, "I had no other choice."

"Then where is he?" Qin Xia asked.

"I tricked him to M Continent." Qiao Yuxian said softly, "I first went to M Continent, and after getting off the plane, switched clothes with Yao Guang in the airport bathroom. I came here while Yao Guang diverted him."

Qin Xia looked at her, at a loss for words.

Qiao Yuxian had her own forces in M Continent.

Yao Guang was under her command.

The name was a code name.

Initially, Qiao Yuxian recruited her because this person had a physique very similar to hers.

The resemblance reached up to ninety-nine percent.

Moreover, she had intentionally had her practice, enhancing her temperament to resemble hers in every aspect.

Blinded, there was virtually no difference from Qiao Yuxian.

They could easily be confused.

Qiao Yuxian came to M Continent with this plan in mind. Yan Ting was successfully deceived.

Additionally, after deceiving him, Qiao Yuxian had someone block him.

Qin Xia watched her for a while and gave a thumbs up, "Yan Ting must be losing his mind."

"Who cares." Qiao Yuxian said coldly, "He made the first move."

"Aren’t you two planning to reconcile?" Qin Xia asked.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t respond.

"Lack of reconciliation isn’t good for the peaceful development of Yao Mountain Island, you know." Qin Xia added.

"If Yao Mountain Island splits, I’ll come back to seize power." Qiao Yuxian said, "Who’s afraid of whom."

Qin Xia: "......"

Qiao Yuxian nudged her shoulder, "Go to the Qin Family already. The sooner you solve it, the sooner you can relax."

"Alright." Qin Xia hugged her shoulder, "Sister, I’ll remember the favor you did for me today."

Qiao Yuxian glanced at her, speaking lightly, "Don’t be moved, I got paid for it."

Qin Xia chuckled. Qiao Yuxian was the final amulet left by her parents for her.

Qiao Yuxian also chuckled softly.

Finished with their whispers, they returned to the group.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Rest assured as you go. Yao Mountain Island’s people won’t interfere."

Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu looked at her but didn’t move.

Qiao Yuxian stared back at them.

After two seconds, Gu Yanjing pulled Qiao Yuxian behind him.

Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu couldn’t see her anymore: "......"

Qin Xia chuckled and said, "Let’s go."

The three turned and headed back.

But after only a few steps, suddenly Yan Jiu called out, "Stop!"

As he spoke, the people behind him pointed their guns at Qin Xia and Chu Zhengran.

Wan Ying also directed his men to aim their guns at them.

Lin Huai Shu and the others stopped and turned to look at Yan Jiu.

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing also turned to look at him.

Yan Jiu walked up to Qiao Yuxian, just about to speak when Qiao Yuxian cut him off, "Is there something you need, sir?"

This left Yan Jiu flabbergasted.

The words stuck in his throat, even swallowing his address for Qiao Yuxian.

He looked at her, unsure of what to call her.

Gu Yanjing watched Qiao Yuxian.

He could clearly feel that the Qiao Yuxian here exuded more flamboyance.

A flamboyance hidden beneath her obedient liveliness.

"What is it?" Qiao Yuxian asked again.

Yan Jiu’s lips moved but he ultimately didn’t address her, instead stating, "They’re going to the Qin Family."

"And?" Qiao Yuxian looked at him, "What does that have to do with you?"

Yan Jiu stared at her for a few seconds, then rigidly repeated, "They’re going to the Qin Family."

"So?" Qiao Yuxian said, "You’re not allowing it?"

Yan Jiu didn’t speak, but his silence was acknowledgment.

Qiao Yuxian slightly lifted the corner of her mouth, her eyes filled with intimidation. She dragged a chair forward, sat down, and said, "If you go past me, I won’t stop you."

Everyone silently watched her, even their breathing softened.

Qiao Yuxian crossed her legs, her sitting position somewhat defiant, with her hair blowing back in the wind, fully exposing her delicate face, emitting pressure inch by inch.

Not just Yan Jiu, others were also affected by her aura.

In Yan Jiu’s previously respectful and cold demeanor, fear appeared.

Qin Xia glanced at them and led Chu Zhengran and Lin Huai Shu away.

Lin Huai Shu hesitated, glanced at Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing, and then caught up with Qin Xia, asking, "Are we really just leaving like this? Will Yanjing and his girlfriend be safe? Is his girlfriend from Yao Mountain Island? Won’t she be punished for returning to Yao Mountain Island like this? I heard the rules there are very strict and cruel."

Faced with her series of questions, Qin Xia replied, "It’s fine. Yan Jiu wouldn’t dare."

Lin Huai Shu’s pupils trembled, exchanging looks with Chu Zhengran.

The both of them didn’t say anything.

To make Yan Jiu afraid, what kind of status did someone have to have on Yao Mountain Island?

Wan Ying and Shang Chen listened to their conversation, silently following behind.

"No wonder Yanjing said he’d go to the Qin Family and have us cover here." Lin Huai Shu’s mind started turning, gradually understanding, "Turns out he was afraid of offending his wife by conflicting with Yao Mountain Island."

"Mm." Chu Zhengran added, "He had us take the hit, regardless of our safety."

Lin Huai Shu paused, heartbroken until his expression twisted in pain.

On Yan Jiu’s side, seeing them leave, he instinctively wanted to advance, and his people seemed ready to shoot. But once Yan Jiu saw Qiao Yuxian, meeting her casual gaze, he paused.

Qiao Yuxian just sat on the chair, watching him, which made him afraid to order, afraid to move forward.

Yan Jiu understood that if he took one step further, Qiao Yuxian would take action against him.

If she lost a single hair.

He shouldn’t expect to get out alive today.

Even his family would face consequences.

"Sir, if there’s nothing else, please take your men and leave." Qiao Yuxian said seeing he was silent, "Don’t interrupt our barbecue party here."

Gu Yanjing, dressed in black, watched Yan Jiu’s frustrated yet fearful reaction. Chapters fırst released on novel•fire.net

A silent pause ensued. Yan Jiu looked at Qiao Yuxian, then at Gu Yanjing, before finally bending slightly and retreating with his men.
