Protect Our Chief-Chapter 626 - 61 "Tianyan Fairy

...

The aura of the Celestial Human Realm Puppet Wang Shouzhu suddenly surged, firmly locking onto the elder of the Huangfu Family. It seemed as if any slight movement from the opponent would trigger an attack, even at the cost of self-destruction to take the opponent down with it.

The elder of the Huangfu Family, being battle-hardened, had a keen sense of danger.

A chill ran through his heart as he sensed the crisis and hurriedly retreated several feet, sternly saying, "Friend from the Wang Family, what intentions do you have towards our young lady? Could it be you wish to incite conflict between the Wang Family and the Huangfu Family?"

Though his words were bold, the expression on his face betrayed a hint of bravado concealing fear.

At this point, he no longer dared to underestimate Wang Shouzhe in the slightest.

To possess a Celestial Human Realm Puppet as a guardian was no trivial matter. Even without considering cost-effectiveness, in terms of absolute value, he, as a Celestial Human Realm Elder, was far less valuable than a Celestial Human Realm Puppet.

"Defender Master, do not be discourteous." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "The elder is merely overly protective, acting in a moment of urgency. Stand down."

"Yes, Master."

Only then did Wang Shouzhu retract his terrifying aura, retreating behind Wang Shouzhe and resuming the demeanor of a low-key brawny man, as if nothing had happened.

However, after this incident, no one dared to underestimate that seemingly inconspicuous "big man".

After all, buying a Celestial Human Realm Puppet from the Celestial Workshop would cost three or four million Qian Gold, not to mention the long-term maintenance and Spirit Stone consumption expenses.

For a Purple Mansion Family, wouldn’t spending those three or four million Qian Gold to cultivate some outstanding family members to ascend to the Celestial Human Realm be more valuable?

"Thank you, Fourth Grandfather, for resolving the situation." Wang Shihai swallowed and nervously greeted Wang Shouzhe.

At this point, he no longer dared to hold any contempt towards Wang Shouzhe.

Dispensing a Purple Gold Ticket casually, effortlessly subduing a fellow Celestial Pride, Huangfu Feifei. Having a Celestial Human Realm Puppet as a bodyguard, what manner of person could this be?

Wang Shouzhe glanced at him curtly.

Why couldn’t you just accept a beating quietly? Why drag me into this?

He truly couldn’t be bothered to deal with this youngster and simply left him aside, turning to Huangfu Feifei with a cupped hand gesture, "Just now, in the moment of urgency, Shouzhe acted rashly."

He knew in his heart, this young lady likely held no ill intentions. After all, she had just warned him to be careful earlier.

With that, he waved his hand slightly. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

The wisteria net woven from the Witch’s Long Hair quickly withered, turning into ashes.

While Wang Shouzhe felt nothing as he did this, in others’ eyes, he appeared gentle like jade, graceful and charming, indescribably elegant.

Many young girls by the roadside were left starstruck.

Huangfu Feifei was momentarily stunned before realizing she was free, staggering to stand firmly on the ground.

The previous arrogance and fierceness inexplicably transformed into demureness and shyness.

She slightly lowered her head, her cheeks a bit flushed, "This, this is not Young Master’s fault. It was Feifei who was presumptuous, not knowing the heights of the heavens. Young Master merely administered a small reproach, it’s already kind of you not to blame Feifei’s arrogance."

"Hiss~~" Wang Shihai took a deep breath, looking at Huangfu Feifei incredulously, "Huangfu Feifei, has your mind been beat silly? Where did that fierceness go?"

"Wang Shihai, if you haven’t had enough beatings, just let this girl know." Huangfu Feifei raised her eyes at the sound, glaring fiercely, "This girl loves to perfect others."

"Phew~" Wang Shihai patted his chest, breathing a sigh of relief, "Now, that’s more like the usual you. This young master was really afraid Fourth Grandfather might have beaten you silly, and your Huangfu Family would come seeking a quarrel."

Before Huangfu Feifei could explode in anger, Wang Shihai eagerly looked at Wang Shouzhe, "Fourth Grandfather, it’s getting late. Since things are settled here, we should head to Dongchachah Lake’s dock soon to see if we have a chance to board the Celestial Splendor Boat and experience it."

"..." Wang Shouzhe looked at him incredulously, this young chap’s mind seemed quite different indeed. He was just beaten like a dog by the girl, yet as his injuries were still fresh, all he could think about was visiting the Celestial Splendor Boat.

Huangfu Feifei cast a disdainful glance at him as well, not such a disgrace to call him a Celestial Pride of the Southern Desert Wang Family... Yet he too learned from the vulgar people, running to curry favor with those flowerboat girls.

Speaking of which, it’s Young Master Wang who’s good, with a demeanor like glacial jade, quality like gentle jade, with a grace like a celestial being, making one yearn... Compared to him, Wang Shihai was like filthy stinking mud.

But never thought.

Wang Shouzhe pondered for a moment, "Well, being idle is being idle anyway, let’s go see for ourselves."

"..." Huangfu Feifei’s face froze, but quickly thought, "How could Young Master Wang be like mundane people? He must be going to uncover the true nature of this Tianyan Fairy."

"Young Master Wang is from the same clan as the Southern Desert Wang Family, he must have come from afar." Huangfu Feifei thought for a moment and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll accompany Young Master Wang for a walk, fulfilling my duty as a host..."

"Huangfu Feifei, this is my family’s same clan member." Wang Shihai gazed at her quietly.

"Joke, everyone knows that our Southern Desert Family is most hospitable and generous." Huangfu Feifei declared boldly, "As they say, a visitor from afar is a guest. Since Young Master Wang has come from afar to the Southern Desert, he’s an esteemed guest of our Huangfu Family. Naturally, I, Huangfu Feifei, must entertain him."

"Huangfu Feifei, in this Southern Desert County City, aren’t there countless visitors from all over the country, why haven’t you entertained them?" Wang Shihai guardedly said, "Do you have some conspiracy?"

"Wang Shihai, I see your skin is itching, come, let this girl’s Fire Spirit Battle Halberd give you a tickle."

"Afraid of you? Dare not bring your bird~"

"You dare bring your bird too."

"..." Wang Shouzhe.

...

At the end of dusk, the night gradually turned blurry.

Aboard Dongchachah Lake, the lights of the painting boats began to light up, bringing an exotic charm to the dim night.

On the boat docks, heads bobbed as they belonged to dignitaries from various noble families or wealthy merchants, roughly estimated to be no less than hundreds of people.

Among them, a massive painting boat slowly sailed over the waves, causing the crowd to stir a bit. Fortunately, many guests were "elegant individuals" with status, refraining from loud chatter.

"Fourth Grandfather, you may not know." Wang Shihai introduced softly beside, "The rules of the Celestial Splendor Boat are grand, receiving only one wave of guests each day. As for whom they host, it all depends on the boat’s quiz of the day, and whoever answers the quiz first will be the guest for the night. Others must not interfere with the Celestial Splendor Boat’s choice, or they’d be blacklisted and never be hosted."

"However, occasionally, the Celestial Splendor Boat may not pose a quiz and leave it to the Tianyan Fairy to decide whom to host until she ultimately decides whom she’s willing to become a concubine of."

"Hmph, just a trick to raise her status." Huangfu Feifei sneered disdainfully, "It’s pathetic how these dignitaries of Southern Desert County have all been smitten by her beauty. That woman surely has issues. Only those low-tier families would go fawning over her, all just a bunch of shameless, lustful scoundrels!"

Just as Huangfu Feifei finished speaking.

A proclaiming voice rang out, "Patriarch Huangfu Chengping from Southern Desert Huangfu Family has arrived. Our Patriarch invites the Tianyan Fairy ashore for a chat at the Huangfu Mansion tonight."

"...What what what~" Huangfu Feifei’s eyes widened in shock, surprise written all over her face, wasn’t Huangfu Chengping her father?

"Hahaha~" Wang Shihai, slightly stunned, then laughed heartily, "Feifei, oh Feifei, who are you saying is low-tier now? Ha~~"

But before Wang Shihai could finish his laughter.

Another voice echoed from the boat docks, "Patriarch Wang Zonghao from Southern Desert Wang Family has arrived. Our Patriarch says the Tianyan Fairy is of noble lineage, and our Patriarch is willing to marry the Fairy as a concubine, to cherish for a lifetime."

Wang Shihai’s smile immediately twisted into one of awkwardness, his eyelids twitching as he mumbled, "What kind of weird turn of events is this? Could it be the woman I, Wang Shihai, admire might become my own stepmother?"

Wang Shouzhe, however, squinted slightly, realizing that Tianyan Fairy might indeed be no ordinary figure. Noble lineage? Seems like both Wang Zonghao and Huangfu Chengping, those two foxes, have caught a whiff of something.

Nevertheless, the concocted hype around Tianyan Fairy also seemed suspiciously deliberate, with likely ulterior motives.

Just at that moment.

A female voice emerged from the painting boat, "We are grateful to both Patriarchs for their kindness, but today, our young lady has already chosen someone to host."

"May I know if Lord Wang Shouzhe is present? Our young lady invites you to enter the boat for a chat~"
