"Holy crap!"
"Second sister-in-law is amazing!!"
Lu Tong and Zhang Zitain stared blankly at the school's chat group, which had exploded. Damn it, Second Sister-in-law had done what they wanted to do but dared not. Truly a formidable Second Sister-in-law, daring to be the first.
With a BANG~
Just then, the door to the dormitory where Xiao Ming and the other two were staying was pushed open. Lin Yuxi, wearing slippers, barged in. Fortunately, Lu Tong and Zhang Zitain were wearing enough clothes, otherwise, they would have definitely been beaten up by Second Sister-in-law.
"Xiao Ming, I've caused a huge problem!"
Upon arriving at the dormitory, Lin Yuxi immediately sent out a distress signal, full of survival instinct. Lu Tong and Zhang Zitain twitched their mouths, as expected, had they overestimated their Second Sister-in-law after all?
Xiao Ming, "........."
"Third, Fourth, do you have any good ideas?"
Xiao Ming's forehead was covered in black lines, wishing he could just grab that girl and teach her a lesson. Damn it, had this woman's brain been kicked by a donkey?
"Uh, this..."
Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Lu Tong and Zhang Zitain exchanged glances. Feeling the death stare from Second Sister-in-law, both of them shivered.
Zhang Zitain coughed dryly, "Second Sister-in-law, I think the best solution now is for you to call the boss and admit your mistake."
"After all, isn't there a saying, 'Confession leads to leniency, resistance leads to severe punishment'?"
"That's right, I think Fourth's idea is pretty good," Lu Tong chimed in, showing his concern for Second Sister-in-law's situation.
"Yuxi, I think..."
Xiao Ming paused upon hearing this and felt the idea was feasible. "You should call the boss, after all, this matter started with you."
"This... alright."
Lin Yuxi thought about it. She couldn't think of any other way, so she could only brace herself and call the boss. She told him about her momentary oversight. The long underground "relationship" between the boss and his wife had been directly exposed by her. It was her fault for causing such a big problem.
Soon, Lin Yuxi nervously dialed the number and confessed the big mess she had caused. However, when she heard Ye Xuan's response, Lin Yuxi was stunned.
"Uh... Okay, boss."
"I understand."
A few minutes later, after hanging up, Xiao Ming and the other two immediately crowded around, looking at Lin Yuxi with a strange expression. Xiao Ming curiously asked, "How was it?"
"Yeah, Second Sister-in-law."
"Hurry up and tell us, how did the boss scold you? Tell us so we can be happy."
Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes at the three of them, "You might not believe it if I tell you. The boss didn't blame me at all. He even thanked me for helping him expose it and announce their marriage."
Xiao Ming, "???"
Lu Tong and Zhang Zitain, ".........."
"Is that true?"
"No, that can't be right."
"Second Sister-in-law, are you sure you heard correctly??"
The continuous suspicion drew a sharp glare from Lin Yuxi, "What are you looking at? Are you happy only if I get scolded by the boss?"
Xiao Ming, "Cough cough... No way."
"Exactly, not at all."
Lu Tong and Zhang Zitain said in unison, as if to express their loyalty. They didn't dare to provoke the wrath of Second Sister-in-law, as the three of them combined were no match for her.
The Principal's Office.
Xu Zimin looked at the news spreading like wildfire in the school's chat group: Young Master Ye proposed to Luo Tianyi, and... they might have been together for over a year.
"This... they hid it pretty well."
Xu Zimin looked at the heated discussions in the chat group and then thought about Ye Xuan being the owner of Tianhai University. A smile appeared on his lips. "If these brats knew that the protagonists of their heated discussion were the owners of their Tianhai University, I wonder what the scene would be like."
"The first campus belle in Tianhai's history. I have to say, the two are quite a match."
...
Tianhai, Jiulong Yihao Villa.
Ye Xuan, after showering, went to the balcony to enjoy the breeze, listening to the dripping sound of water from the bathroom. It was Luo Tianyi showering.
Jingle bell~
Just then, a phone rang. Seeing that it was Baili Wushuang's call, he answered it casually.
"Hello, Palace Master, I'm not disturbing your rest, am I?"
Upon answering the call, Baili Wushuang's tentative voice came from the other end. Ye Xuan glanced towards the bathroom, "No, what is it? Go ahead."
"Oh, it's like this, Palace Master."
Baili Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that he hadn't disturbed the Palace Master's rest. "The Underworld Hall is developing faster and faster. I wonder if we should have a headquarters. This would be more convenient for future development."
"Underworld Hall headquarters?"
Hearing Baili Wushuang's words, it was undoubtedly in line with what Ye Xuan had been thinking about recently. "I've been thinking about this too. I'll handle this matter."
"Oh, alright, Palace Master."
"Then... Wushuang won't disturb you and the Palace Mistress's rest."
Dudududu~
After speaking, Baili Wushuang hung up. Hearing Baili Wushuang's last sentence, Ye Xuan suddenly thought of the saying: "The Killer Is Not Too Cold."
Then he browsed the system mall, looking for some potentially suitable locations.
After a while, a redeemable item called "Best Duchy Ownership" caught Ye Xuan's attention. "Duchy ownership, wow, the system even has this."
This meant that if he redeemed this item, he would become the owner of this Best Duchy from now on, the Duke of Best Duchy as the outside world called it.
However, the price for redemption was a bit steep, requiring a full 300 billion RMB. One must know that Ye Xuan's current wealth was only a little over 350 billion.
But if he redeemed the Best Duchy, he would not only gain a duchy but also be able to act without the constraints of China for the Underworld Hall in the future.
Furthermore, there was another point. If the Best Duchy were truly auctioned, it would fetch far more than 300 billion.
After much consideration, Ye Xuan still chose to redeem it. Although he would lose most of his wealth, it would return to this figure quickly, and the development of the Underworld Hall would be completely different.
"Redeem."
With a glint in his eyes, Ye Xuan muttered, deciding to proceed with the redemption.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully redeeming the ownership of [Best Duchy], consuming 300 billion RMB from the host!"
Listening to the system's voice in his ear, a slight smile curved Ye Xuan's lips. This meant that from this moment on, he was the behind-the-scenes boss of the Best Duchy, the Duke of Best Duchy.
Next, a description of the Best Duchy appeared before Ye Xuan's eyes: Best Duchy, with a land area of 200,000 square kilometers, is one of the few neutral duchies in the world, with an annual GDP of 20 billion US dollars, a population of 80,000, and an average annual income of 140,000...
Looking at the introduction to the Best Duchy, Ye Xuan licked his lips. "The tourist resort, Best Duchy, I've become a duke now?"
