The old man they called Boss Ye simply waved his hand lightly.

Since getting off the bus, he has barely given Lin Xu and Yu Dong a second glance.

Instead, all their attention was focused on Junyao, who was standing on the steps in the front yard of the garden.

It's as if he came back to China specifically to see Junyao.

Through the man's gray and cloudy eyes, Jun Yao did indeed see a hint of fervent expectation that was difficult to decipher.

But she didn't understand—this was the first time she had met this person, what was he hoping for?

Just then, Zhou Yichuan and the others also came out of the house.

Upon seeing the situation outside, Zhou Yichuan seemed to understand the situation instantly.

"Fourth Uncle, Grandpa Ye, please come in and sit down. Let's talk slowly."

His attitude and expression were polite enough, but his cold words seemed to keep people at arm's length.

Uncle Zhou and the old man named Ye Xiao were invited into the Linshui Mansion.

But Junyao noticed that Ye Xiao had only just stepped into the front yard of the mansion when he quietly clutched his chest.

I feel very unwell.

Junyao was still some distance away from him, but after he made this move, she could smell an even stronger stench of decay and decay emanating from him.

It's like a late autumn forest after a torrential downpour.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of damp, withered leaves, and the mixture of dust and mold created a sticky, lifeless mess.

Every corner I see is rapidly disappearing and decomposing.

Like the body of a giant whose exterior is still shiny and bright, but whose interior is already festering and oozing pus.

Jun Yao couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her nose, "This person has such a heavy aura of death about him."

Not only did she notice that something was wrong with Ye Xiao.

As the owner of the waterfront mansion, Zhou Yichuan seemed to be able to sense all the abnormalities in the house immediately.

He was walking along just fine, but the instant Ye Xiao silently clutched his chest, he turned around and stared at this visitor from afar who should have been treated with courtesy.

"Grandpa Ye, if you're really not feeling well, we can find another place to talk."

"Otherwise, I would also worry that you would die in my house before you could explain your conspiracy."

"My wife is a very hygienic person. If someone in the family has died, she might really not want to come back and live with me in the future."

Zhou Yichuan's words were sharp and pointed, not much different from slapping Ye Xiao across the face.

Ye Xiao had no time to argue with him over words.

Because he really felt suffocated.

The weight of Mount Tai pressing down on him gripped his heart tightly!

But he could also sense a gentle stream of relief within this intense discomfort.

This trickle of water comes from Junyao.

Therefore, Ye Xiao's face turned pale, and he only looked at Jun Yao.

He wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.

While the rest of them remained silent, Yu Dong eagerly took the initiative to show off.

Even though he was still standing outside the iron gate, not qualified to be invited into the mansion, he seemed completely unashamed and shouted loudly, "Boss Ye! Are you having heart problems again? I have some medicine here that specifically treats oxygen deficiency and suffocation. Take it and take it! If it works for you, you can order more from me later!"

Ye Xiao raised his left hand, saying nothing, but that was enough to stop Yu Dong's shouts.

Before today, he really liked the various medicines that the demon refiners provided him.

After all, these things could prolong his life.

May he live longer without suffering.

But right now, all he wants is to receive that warm, gentle flow from Jun Yao.

That is true vitality.

To achieve this goal, he was willing to do anything to make Jun Yao happy!

The light in Ye Xiao's eyes instantly turned into madness.

"Young Madam."

Ye Xiao smiled gently. His white hair and age spots of varying shades on his face could not conceal his superior appearance, which surpassed that of most men.

"Do you really dislike these two demon refiners?"

"Do you want to arrest them and hand them over to the relevant authorities the moment you hear them speak?"

"If they really make you feel uncomfortable, I can help you! Because I have both of their criminal records."

Yu Dong: "...Boss Ye, what are you saying? We're both here, and we're not deaf; we can hear everything you're saying!"

Lin Xu's face revealed an even more obvious expression of anger.

"Boss Ye, every time we create a new product, we deliver it to you immediately so you can experience it first! If it weren't for the fact that you're a valued long-term customer, given your current behavior, you could easily be removed from our customer list!"

Ye Xiao gave a cold laugh, "Then go ahead and remove them!"

Yu Dong and Lin Xu are in trouble again.

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond to him.

Ye Xiao, however, seized the opportunity presented by the two men's humiliation and continued to fawn over Jun Yao: "Young Madam, they have indeed committed countless evils, indiscriminately taking only resources that are useful to them! In their eyes, there are no other life forms besides humans... let alone any respect for those non-human demons..."

When Ye Xiao said these words, Baxi, who was bound to Jun Yao, had reached the peak of her anger.

"Boss, don't just listen to this one-sided capitalist nonsense!"

"Although I also hate demon refiners and know they're all scoundrels... I also understand that without market demand, this industry wouldn't have existed!"

"It is precisely because of people like Ye, who keep offering high prices to lure these demon refiners into risking their lives, that they fall into the trap of greed and unleash the darkest side of their nature!"

To put it bluntly, neither side is a good person!

"He's trying to win your favor by betraying others! That old bastard must have some disgusting motive!"

Junyao touched the purplish-red lines on her right wrist.

They gave Baxi a little bit of spiritual energy as a form of appeasement.

She then extended an invitation to Yu Dong and Lin Xu.

"Didn't you two just say you wanted to talk in private? Now I've thought it over, and I think we can talk alone. You two can come in too."

She had a radiant smile and a kind face, but Yu Dong and Lin Xu only wanted to run away!

Who believes her now?!

They're not three-year-olds!

The waterfront mansion is now like a giant cage; if they dare to step inside, it will lock them both inside firmly.

Who knows what awaits them?

When winter comes, my subconscious urge is to run away.

However, the Zhou family bodyguards acted swiftly, having already completely cut off the two's escape route without their knowledge.

"Since we're already here, how can we leave so soon?"

Jun Yao smiled innocently, but the way he looked at the two of them was as if they were two turtles in a jar.
