Chapter 564 At least trust your boss!
"My dear boss, why don't you come back and do the mountain of work piled up here, instead of making us spare a hand to help the new organization?"
Through the soul communication, Feng Shiyi's voice, as cold as a blizzard on a frozen plain, came through. Even though Ye Nanxiao himself was the epitome of ice, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
"Haha, well, good news! I, the boss, have conquered another empire for you! Our great enterprise has grown by another twenty percent!" Ye Nanxiao skillfully forced a smile, trying to quell the anger of his important employee.
"Oh, twenty percent? That would be a huge breakthrough for any other organization or sect, but for you, boss, it's a bottomless pit! Just tell me when you want to unify the continent, raise your arms and call out, and Ning'er and I will sew you a dragon robe!"
Feng Shiyi squeezed the soul communication device in her hand so hard it made a cracking sound, causing Shen Ciyuan, who was sitting and watching the show, to immediately roll up his little stool and obediently stand at the door, squeezing between the two guardians to become a door god.
Su Rang and Xu Zhen: "Is this guy blocking the doorway because he thinks Captain Eleven has too good a temper?"
Hearing the sound of the mechanical shell deforming through the soul communication, Ye Nanxiao's right eyelid twitched violently twice. Should he stay a while longer before returning to the Aodu Building?
Or you can just walk around outside.
He didn't want to go back and be used as a moving target by Feng Shiyi to train his dart accuracy.
Feng Shiyi's temper towards Ye Nanxiao flared up and subsided quickly. After a couple of sharp retorts, she reverted to her best employee demeanor. "A batch of supplies approved by Aodu is expected to be transferred from the Third Trade Route to the territory of the Tianhun Empire today. They should arrive today. However, Aodu is short-staffed. The specific personnel list is not available. If we were to transfer them, it would trigger a large chain reaction. You should come back and make the transfers yourself. Anyway, we need your signature authorization."
The three door gods, standing ramrod straight, had two members, except for Xu Zhen, who quietly pricked up their ears.
Shen Ciyuan's eyelids and eyebrows twitched incessantly, sending out his self-created eyelid messages to Su Rang.
Shen Ciyuan: Why is Feng Shiyi asking for the boss's authorization? Isn't this place usually managed by him and the Blue Team?
Su Rang: Hey! You don't understand! The boss hasn't been back for a while, and there hasn't been a single message or instruction during that time. He only came today. Although Captain Eleven was furious, he still missed the boss!
Shen Ciyuan's eyes widened. He actually heard such gossip?
Xu Zhen: You haven't been here long, so it's normal that you don't know.
Xu Zhen: After all, the boss saved the Eleventh Captain's life and most cherished possessions. Isn't it normal for a young girl to be in love?
Feng Shiyi hung up the phone, blew hard on the strands of hair that fell beside her face, and turned the soul-guided communicator in her hand over to check it. She seemed to have used a bit too much force this time. Fortunately, the thing was sturdy enough that it didn't break, just slightly deformed.
"Sigh, what a terrible boss. He forgot the rule he set for holding a meeting once a month. I almost thought he was being chased by that old hag Xie Feng again. What an idiot." Feng Shiyi put away her soul-guided communicator. Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary.
She was just pretending to be tired and complaining; she simply hadn't checked if her boss was still online for a while.
Turning around, Feng Shiyi saw the trio standing at the doorway, winking and making faces at each other.
Although it's unclear what's gotten into these three again, they're clearly not behaving normally.
A cross-shaped sickle appeared in his hand, and Feng Shiyi rolled up his sleeves.
"You guys seem to be having a good chat, how about I join you?"
"Holy crap!" *3
"Huh? I see." Before Ye Nanxiao could say anything, Feng Shiyi on the other end of the line suddenly had to end the call due to work.
The Aodu Chamber of Commerce is short-staffed again; this is a big problem.
Ye Nanxiao was somewhat troubled as he looked at the investment and development. The Aodu Chamber of Commerce was growing bigger every day, and the high-speed money-making machine was constantly expanding its territory, determined to cover all aspects of life and academic research. It not only wanted to be a leading benchmark enterprise, but also the biggest one.
This also led to the rapid development of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce, which made it difficult to recruit employees.
Every employee needs to undergo a detailed investigation, including their family history for three generations and their life story. This is a basic investigation to prevent the infiltration of spies and traitors.
The spies sent by the Xishui Alliance are a huge infection bomb; if not handled carefully, they could disrupt the interests of the Aodu Chamber of Commerce.
The fact that evil spirit masters have no limits to their abilities only adds to the pressure on Feng Shiyi.
Standing behind Ye Nanxiao, Ye Ling Shuang witnessed the entire incident.
Ye Nanxiao and the senior on the other end of the phone surprised her with their behavior.
This kind of boss-employee relationship seems to be the first time I've ever seen one.
Ye Ling Shuang initially thought Ye Nanxiao's previous statement about the friendly relationship between the boss and the employees was just polite talk, but now it seems that it really is true.
"The supplies should arrive in Tianhun today. Have a few trustworthy people meet them then. Remember to use the correct code, or you'll be eaten alive and your soul will be gone." Ye Nanxiao rummaged through his storage ring, took out a few marked material boxes, and assembled a soul-guided communicator on the spot for Ye Ling Shuang.
He will later establish a signal network in Zhengtian City, connecting it to a dedicated long-distance communication technology.
"Thank you for your trouble, boss." Ye Ling Shuang took the soul communication device, put it into a new storage ring, and then hung the storage ring on her chest like a necklace.
"Next, put your hand here so I can see how serious your injuries are." Ye Nanxiao's eyes flashed with blue light.
Ye Nanxiao remembered what the remnants of the Ye family had said before: Ye Ling Shuang's current strength was achieved by excessively squeezing out her internal potential and shortening her lifespan.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling Shuang hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand on the table and said, "Boss, the injuries in my body have accumulated too much. When I was a child, I consumed the Dragon Grass and the Chaotic Nether Longevity Pill, and cultivated while bathing in the juice of the Bone-Locking Flower. This has already completely exhausted all of my body's potential and even squeezed out my lifespan. These are irreversible injuries."
Ye Nanxiao gently pressed two fingers into Ye Lingshuang's palm, carefully sensing the condition inside her body.
The longer he perceived it, the more Ye Nanxiao frowned.
If you continue to overdraw on your body's potential after excessively exploiting it, you will only increase your strength at the cost of depleting your lifespan.
A body that has been squeezed dry can still be nourished and replenished with rare and precious herbs, but if lifespan is shortened, ninety percent of the chance of treatment is lost.
The rarest and most precious natural treasures that can extend lifespan are extremely rare, and can be counted on one hand across the entire continent.
"Both the Dragon Grass and the Chaotic Nether Longevity Pill are herbs that extract life force and stimulate potential. If you take them together, the price will be ten years of lifespan." Elder Xuan appeared behind Ye Nanxiao, his tone heavy, and looked at Ye Ling Shuang.
Based on Ye Ling Shuang's appearance and bone age, Elder Xuan judged that Ye Ling Shuang was at most around twenty years old, or even younger.
A Soul Saint at the age of twenty is extremely rare. Even if one has broken through, it must be due to an extremely powerful Martial Soul and abundant resources, coupled with top-notch talent and meticulous teaching. It takes a lot of manpower and resources to cultivate one.
These conditions are clearly impossible for the Ye family to meet.
Elder Xuan had observed Ye Ling Shuang's battles and judged that Ye Ling Shuang's martial arts talent was not strong, and that after using her Martial Soul True Body, her soul power fluctuations were extremely unstable and her soul power circulation was rusty.
Frosty Jade Willow is not at the top of the plant-type martial souls; it is merely at the bottom of the first tier and the top of the second tier of the plant-type martial soul pyramid.
The latest novel is first published here!
A Soul Saint's lifespan is generally around one hundred to one hundred and twenty years. If Ye Ling Shuang were to cultivate normally and break through to the Soul Saint level, she could live for at least another hundred years.
But in Elder Xuan's eyes, Ye Ling Shuang was already beginning to be enveloped by a faint aura of death.
"This girl probably doesn't have much time left, at most ten years."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Nanxiao's brows furrowed into a deep frown. Through his senses, he noticed that Ye Ling Shuang's blood and qi were showing signs of decline, and her soul power was fluctuating wildly even when she was not in combat, with many of her meridians aging.
In other words, Ye Ling Shuang is now only an intact shell; her body is riddled with holes.
"Yes, I don't have much time left, but I will use all the time I have left to create a powerful Jade Balance Tower for you, Boss. I only ask that you allow my mother to live an ordinary life and grow old peacefully. I, Ling Shuang, kneel down to thank you, Boss." Ye Ling Shuang stood up, took a step back, knelt down before Ye Nanxiao, and made her request.
She wanted to give her own life to ensure her mother's peace of mind for the rest of her life.
Ye Nanxiao turned to the side, pursed his lips, and lowered his eyes, making it impossible to see the light in them.
Elder Xuan frowned, slowly closed his eyes, turned around, and swayed away.
"I agree, get up," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Relax your body's defenses and let me check how many of your meridians are intact." Ye Nanxiao helped Ye Ling Shuang up and pressed her into a chair, gently placing his left hand on Ye Ling Shuang's back.
Ye Ling Shuang closed her eyes, a blush rising on her face. This was the first time she had been touched by a man. A warm feeling came from her back, which made her calm down and control the soul power in her body, trying not to disturb Ye Nan Xiao's investigation.
Ye Nanxiao rummaged through his storage ring, then held a pale red flower in his right hand and waved it gently.
A calming floral fragrance filled the air between the two, helping Ye Ling Shuang better control her soul power.
Ye Ling Shuang's powerful mental perception allowed the meridians within her body to appear in Ye Nan Xiao's mind.
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Nanxiao withdrew his hand and placed the Tranquilizing Flower on the table.
Ye Nanxiao's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and he let out a soft sigh of relief.
Ye Ling Shuang's condition was not yet so bad as to cause despair. The meridians around her heart were still intact, and the meridians in the other parts of her body did not show any signs of complete necrosis and could still be treated.
Ye Ling Shuang slowly opened her eyes, looked at the pale red flower in front of her, and reached out to pick it up.
"Boss, don't waste your energy. I can maintain my activity with banned drugs." Ye Ling Shuang gently pressed the small flower in her hand to her face.
Ye Nanxiao glanced at Ye Ling Shuang, then tapped her on the head with his right hand, forming a sword-like finger. "All you talk about is death. Young people should have some vigor. As long as you're alive, there's always hope."
"Once you sign the contract, don't even think about running away. Even if death comes to claim you, I'll do my best to kick you back from the brink of death. There's still time, let me try my best."
Ye Nanxiao patted Ye Ling Shuang on the shoulder. "At least trust your boss."
"From now on, you can be yourself."
