At this moment, the Queen, who had drunk quite a bit of red wine, suddenly became anxious. There was no bathroom in the wooden house.
She was about to look for Su Yang when she heard bursts of panting and slapping sounds from inside.
"Didn't you say you'd just stay outside?"
...
Her Majesty the Queen thought about it and decided not to knock, turning around and leaving silently.
At the same time, a series of system sounds echoed in Su Yang's mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully caring for Duan Linglong, gaining ten years of life! ]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully caring for Duan Linglong, rewarded with 100 Dragon Blood Warriors, bringing the total number of Dragon Blood Warriors to two hundred. ]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, Duan Linglong's satisfaction with you is 100%, rewarded with the right to use one thousand square meters of land on Songnan South Street. ]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission, caring for the leaders of the nine major departments of the Dragon Kingdom, rewarded with a special item (Sky Silk Flying Shoes). ]
[Currently, three of the seven Duan family sisters have been won over. Upon reaching seven, a special gift package will be awarded. Please continue to strive! ]
Su Yang was stunned. This was the first time he had cared for a woman and received so many rewards.
There were even more missions to come. The remaining four Duan sisters would likely require considerable effort.
Currently, there were Duan Linglong and Duan Wanjun, as well as Duan Yujiao who had actively offered herself.
Taking advantage of the post-coital clarity, Su Yang asked, "What are the uses of the Sky Silk Flying Shoes?"
[Host, wearing the Sky Silk Flying Shoes, you will gain a 50% movement speed boost! ]
This was a treasure, allowing for both offense and escape.
The next morning.
Shangguan Yi, lying in the hospital, wore a distressed expression. He had thought that coming to Songhai as the Director of the Security Bureau would be smooth sailing.
Who would have thought that Su Yang, this local troublemaker, would be so aggressive, not only targeting him, the legitimate director, at every turn but also arresting his strategist, Lin Feng.
Early this morning, he received a message from Prison Warden Qin Li, stating that the Lin family patriarch, Lin Baimo, had inexplicably died in prison.
Shangguan Yi didn't know how to explain this to the Lin family.
After all, they were his allies, and two core figures of the Lin family were now dead or missing.
Shangguan Yi knew that with his personal strength alone, he could not continue to develop his network and influence in Songhai.
Therefore, after much thought, he dialed his father, Shangguan Zhongtang's, phone number.
A few seconds later.
A deep and powerful voice came from the other end.
"Yi'er, what is it so early in the morning?"
"Father, my progress here is not going smoothly. Can you send some people to support me?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, likely having heard about the recent events in Songhai.
"Yi'er, I can send people over, but you need to learn to be more ruthless. This time, your Uncle Wang will lead the team. He will help you kill Su Yang."
Shangguan Yi was surprised. The Uncle Wang his father mentioned was the Shangguan family's top personal bodyguard, a martial arts master.
With him here, Shangguan Yi would be much safer in Songhai and could eliminate some of the troublesome individuals.
"Father, if I kill Su Yang, won't Master Shi Wuzun and his disciple go mad? After all, they are both leaders of the nine major departments!"
"Don't worry about that. Zong Ze is not allowed to return to the mainland without orders and must guard the border. As for Shi Wuzun, I have bribed some people, and I believe they will act soon."
"That's good. I've disliked them for a long time!"
Shangguan Yi was overjoyed. If it weren't for Master Shi Wuzun and his disciple backing Su Yang, he would have made a move long ago.
"Father, I heard that Zhou Budao and his son have a good relationship with Su Yang. Will they jump out and cause trouble?"
"He is too busy with his own affairs to worry about you!"
Shangguan Yi nodded. Among Su Yang's important connections, the only one left was Duan Linglong, the president of the Cultural Relics Association.
The Cultural Relics Association had no real power and was merely a money-making tool for the Dragon Kingdom, so it could be disregarded.
"Alright, be careful yourself. I'm hanging up!"
Shangguan Zhongtang finished his instructions and hung up the phone.
Shangguan Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the ceiling. Now, all he had to do was wait for Uncle Wang to arrive, and he could make his move.
...
Su Yang, who was far away in the children's playground, woke up to find that Duan Linglong had already left.
Her fragrance lingered on the pillow, and a few plum blossoms bloomed on the sheets.
Duan Linglong had stayed up all night. Compared to Yang Mange and the others at home, she was more resilient.
Su Yang tidied his clothes and walked out of the wooden house. The Queen and the Princess were already waiting.
"You're really early!"
Lilianni said, "Not too early. I'm sober."
The Queen had dark circles under her eyes. "It was too noisy last night. You young people really know how to have fun."
The soundproofing of the wooden house was very poor, and the two had been making noise all night.
Su Yang felt a little embarrassed. "Alright, it was my oversight. Let's go somewhere else today."
"Okay, we'll follow Mr. Su's arrangements!"
After a simple packing, the group drove to the New Year's Goods Street.
As the end of the year approached, the people of Songhai began preparing New Year's gifts.
On the street, in addition to New Year's goods, there were many fun games.
For example, ring toss games for cigarettes, alcohol, and fruits.
Su Yang parked the car and walked up to ask the stall owner.
"How much are these rings?"
"Twenty rings for one hundred yuan!"
"What about the large ceramic items and plush dolls?"
Su Yang pointed to the items on the ground. Some were very large, and the rings couldn't possibly fit.
"You just need to get the head!"
"Very good, give them twenty rings each first!"
After receiving the money, the owner handed the rings to the Queen and the Princess, thinking that Su Yang was another lovesick fool trying to impress a girl.
He figured the man would miss and then frantically buy more rings to try again.
The Queen waved her hand, tossing the rings away.
Unsurprisingly, she missed. Lilianni did the same.
"Mother, I want that red rabbit."
Lilianni's eyes fell on a cute rabbit plush toy.
The Dragon Kingdom was about to celebrate the New Year, the Year of the Rabbit, and rabbits were the most popular item at this time.
The Queen tossed several more rings, but they rolled to the side, and she didn't catch anything.
The owner smiled. These clumsy customers were great; if he got ten or eight like them every day, he'd be rich.
Lilianni, unwilling to give up, tossed a few more rings, but still missed.
Su Yang shook his head, watching. Ring toss required both luck and skill.
After the Queen had used up all her rings, she asked the owner for twenty more.
"Beautiful ladies, how about you buy sixty rings, and I'll give you five more for free?"
The Queen nodded in agreement, handed over the money, and the mother and daughter shared sixty-five rings.
Lilianni sighed, "Why is it always just a little bit short? This rabbit is so hard to get."
The owner, with a smile, used a bamboo pole to retrieve the rings on the ground. In just this short time, he had earned five hundred yuan.
In less than ten minutes.
After the mother and daughter had thrown all their rings, they still hadn't caught anything.
The owner, afraid that his two money bags would leave, immediately suggested, "Why don't you let your boyfriend try? He seems to have nothing to do anyway."
The Queen and the Princess looked at Su Yang. "Why don't you give it a try too? Get us some souvenirs."
"Okay, let's start with three hundred yuan worth of rings."
"Alright!"
The owner happily received another three hundred yuan, thinking that if this continued, he could earn several thousand a day.
Su Yang took the rings and casually tossed one. It landed perfectly on the red rabbit.
The owner smiled, "Good luck!"
"Mr. Su is amazing, he caught the rabbit with the first toss!"
Lilianni played with the rabbit plush toy. It was hand-embroidered, soft, and fun to hold.
Su Yang looked at the items on the ground. The most valuable was a mobile phone, placed in the farthest position.
The Queen pointed to the goldfish ceramic ornament in the distance. "I want that one, get it for me."
"Okay."
Su Yang flicked his wrist, and with a swish, he caught it.
"And that lucky cat."
A money-saving lucky cat jar, with a paw shaking.
Su Yang casually tossed another ring, and it landed precisely on the lucky cat jar.
The owner's expression was surprised, but he figured that since they had spent eight hundred yuan, it wasn't unreasonable to win something worth only a few dozen yuan.
"Handsome guy, your luck is really good!"
Su Yang then caught a toad-shaped wallet. "Yes, the luck is really good!"
Before the owner could react, Su Yang threw several more rings in quick succession, catching multiple prizes simultaneously.
The owner's face turned green. He knew he had encountered a master today.
Unlike the two women, Su Yang was completely accurate with every toss.
In an instant, about ten of the prizes on the ground were gone.
"Handsome guy, why don't you stop? How about I buy back the remaining rings at their original price?"
Su Yang chuckled, "What? You can't afford to play anymore?"
"No, it's just that my small business will go bankrupt if you keep playing like this..."
The owner was scared. As he spoke, Su Yang caught a few more.
The space on the ground was instantly halved.
"No, I haven't finished throwing my rings yet. There's no such thing as buying them back."
Su Yang quickly threw his rings, and one after another, they landed on the prizes.
The Queen and the Princess were stunned. It was like he was cheating, hitting every single one.
Only a few prizes remained on the ground, including the mobile phone.
Su Yang looked at the last ring and casually tossed it towards the mobile phone.
Without surprise, he hit it again.
The owner's face turned dark. "Handsome guy, this is not fair."
The owner calculated that Su Yang and the two women had spent eight hundred yuan on rings, but the prizes they had won were worth nearly two thousand yuan.
"Handsome guy, why don't you leave the mobile phone? At least I won't lose so much!"
Su Yang found it amusing. "If you lose money, you ask the customer for a discount. When you make money, why don't you give refunds to others?"
"I suggest you keep the mobile phone. Otherwise, none of you three will be allowed to leave!"
The owner's tone turned hostile, and he waved his hand, signaling several middle-aged men.
These men were from the neighboring stalls selling miscellaneous goods. They clearly hadn't paid much attention to the news.
If they had known the identities of Su Yang, the Queen, and the Princess, they would have gladly handed over the prizes long ago.
The owner, holding a bamboo pole, stepped forward and said again, "Leave the items, and the three of you can get lost!"
"You resort to violence when you can't afford to lose?"
"So what?"
The owner winked at the men, who raised their fists and swung them at Su Yang.
The next moment.
Su Yang retaliated with heavy punches. The men couldn't last for even a minute before they all fell to the ground.
The owner, hit several times, his face bruised and swollen, begged for mercy.
"Stop hitting, stop hitting... I know I was wrong..."
"What? You don't want the items anymore?"
"No, take it all away..."
"Spoilsport!"
Su Yang clapped his hands and moved all the prizes into the car.
Only after he had driven away did the middle-aged men dare to get up.
"Wang Laosan, you've angered someone and gotten us beaten up. Hurry up and compensate us!"
The owner was on the verge of tears. He had tried to trick others but ended up losing his own possessions.
