Chapter 305: The Breakdown of Chen Long
Watching Ye Lin's tea-flavored, passive-aggressive remarks, Chen Long remained silent.
His vision was currently filled with purple—not deep purple, not light purple, but a completely screwed-up purple.
Chen Long couldn't fathom what kind of massive sin he had committed to end up running into a freak like Ye Lin.
Looking at Jiao Bai Bai's corpse, Chen Long walked to the side in silence and then contacted Xie Hong.
"My lord, are you there?"
"What is it?" Xie Hong's voice came from the other end.
"That... something happened..." Chen Long said.
"Hm? Did something happen to Ye Lin?" Xie Hong felt a jolt in his heart.
"That didn't happen... but something happened to someone else." Chen Long answered truthfully.
"As long as he's fine, let whatever happens to the others happen. By the way, who is it?" Xie Hong let out a sigh of relief.
"Jiao Bai Bai."
"Oh... Jiao Bai Bai... Hm? Jiao Bai Bai?!" Xie Hong sat up abruptly, as if rising from a deathbed.
"Yes, and he also burned down the Tiandu Beast Arena with a single fire," Chen Long replied.
"Damn it!" Xie Hong's eyes widened. "Didn't you stop him? What are you even good for?"
"I tried to stop him... but I couldn't."
Listening to Xie Hong's accusations, Chen Long felt incredibly aggrieved. He had tried his best to stop him, but how could he possibly stop a beast like Ye Lin?
"Aren't you already Level 90? You can't even stop a Level 68?" Xie Hong grew angrier as he spoke.
The Tiandu Beast Arena generated an extremely high annual profit and was one of their important economic sources. Now that it had been burned down by Ye Lin, it was equivalent to throwing his Xie family's money into the water!
"I..."
Chen Long couldn't find the words. Ye Lin's Level 68 was fundamentally different from an ordinary Level 68!
That guy could even one-shot Jiao Bai Bai; how could an ordinary Level 68 class-advancer do that?
"My lord... I don't think I'm very capable of handling this job of monitoring Ye Lin. Why don't you transfer me back and send someone else?" Chen Long couldn't help but say; he was truly terrified.
Chen Long felt that if he continued to stay by Ye Lin's side, he would definitely go insane sooner or later.
"No! I don't trust anyone else!" Xie Hong took a deep breath. "Don't worry, I will handle the matter of the Tiandu Beast Arena properly! You just keep watching him for me!"
"I'm busy with the marriage alliance with the Student Zhuge family lately. If there's any emergency, you can handle it yourself!"
Chen Long: "......"
After hanging up, Chen Long took dozens of deep breaths before he finally calmed his nerves.
Afterward, he walked silently in front of Ye Lin.
"What are you planning to do about those hundred-plus demon children?"
"Send them to where they belong. I said it before: I want them to have full bellies."
Ye Lin contacted Father Ji, who was far away in Qingcheng. He planned to send these demon children to Father Ji first, and once he shook off the Xie family's surveillance, he would find an opportunity to send them to Bai Siyou.
Money makes the world go round. With the power of his bank account, the hundred-plus demon children were quickly sent to Qingcheng via the Kyoto teleportation array. Along with them went a large sum of ill-gotten gains Ye Lin had scavenged from the Tiandu Beast Arena and Jiao Bai Bai.
Before leaving, those demon children stared fixedly at Ye Lin, as if they wanted to carve his image into their hearts.
The expression under Chen Long's mask was complex. He was very familiar with that look; when he was rescued by Xie Hong back then, he had looked at Xie Hong with the exact same gaze.
After resolving the destination for the demon children, a look of loneliness appeared on Ye Lin's face.
"Chen Long, can I ask you for a favor?"
"What is it?"
Chen Long retreated half a step in vigilance. He was almost developing PTSD from Ye Lin; as soon as Ye Lin opened his mouth, he felt that nothing good was coming.
"The Xie family... won't let me go. If one day I really die, can you help me take care of these demon children?"
Ye Lin looked at Chen Long, his eyes clear and sincere, without any ulterior motives.
"Just treat it as... taking care of your former self."
Chen Long remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding. He was starting to find Ye Lin hard to understand.
It was like finding out that a streamer who shows skin for views donated all the money she earned from it to impoverished mountain areas.
"Don't worry, you won't be in trouble for the time being. The Xie family has no plans to make a move on you recently; the lord has more important things to handle," Chen Long explained.
"Oh? What things?" Ye Lin asked curiously.
"The marriage alliance with the Student Zhuge family."
"Oh, how many daughters does that old geezer Xie Hong have again?"
"One."
The smile on Ye Lin's face slowly faded, and his eyes sharpened.
"You mean, Xie Hong's only daughter, Xie Xiaoxiao, is going to marry into the Student Zhuge family?"
"Yes, why?" Chen Long was a bit puzzled by Ye Lin's strong reaction. The Xie family's investigation hadn't shown any relationship between Ye Lin and Xie Xiaoxiao.
"Nothing. Let's go, we're moving to the next location." Ye Lin turned and walked away.
Upon hearing this, Chen Long felt a jolt of alarm and hurriedly grabbed Ye Lin: "Where are you going??"
"Don't get excited. I'm not going to kill anyone this time. How about you come with me to the Xie family?" Ye Lin grinned.
Chen Long's eyes widened, as if he hadn't expected Ye Lin to dare go to the Xie family!
But soon, he realized what was going on. In the current situation, even if Ye Lin entered the Xie family, no one in the Xie family would dare do anything to him, unless they wanted to completely offend the Human Emperor.
"What are you going to the Xie family for?" Chen Long had a bad premonition.
"Nothing much, just paying a visit to the Xie family head to express my intentions."
Ye Lin's smile was brilliant. Chen Long hurriedly followed, fearing Ye Lin would stir up some new trouble.
However, Ye Lin didn't cause trouble this time, though what he did left Chen Long completely baffled.
Ye Lin first bought a second-hand "Ghost Fire" motorcycle from a dealer on Gui Street—the kind covered in colorful, flashy RGB lighting.
Afterward, Ye Lin went to a store and bought two large 2L bottles of iced black tea and two large bottles of green tea.
Immediately after, Ye Lin drove the glowing Ghost Fire to a barbershop. The moment he pushed the door open, a Tony-teacher in tight pants wearing a headset revealed a smile.
"Hello, handsome. What kind of hairstyle do you want?"
Ye Lin combed his hair with both hands.
"I want to dye this thing green." ===== CHAPTER 306 =====
