Once, I wanted to be a good person
Chapter 831 - 831: 207. The second subordinate to achieve Mortality-Shedding breakthrough!_2

And upon recalling Fang Ze's several questions earlier, as well as what he had just said, she hesitated for a moment, involuntarily retracting her hand before asking, "Young Master, what do you mean by asking me to allocate? Ying is slow, I don't understand."

Having said that, she paused, then added, "Do you mean for me to keep it for myself, or give it to Granny Hei Po?"

While Fang Ze was stuffing the Mortality-Shedding Fruit into her hand, he said, "It's entirely up to you."

"You could give it to Hei Po. She's the eldest among you and has made the most significant contributions, and she takes great care of you all the time."

"Of course, you can also keep it for yourself. But you have to ensure that your future is worthy of this fruit."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Ying held the Mortality-Shedding Fruit in her hand and seemed momentarily lost in thought.

After a moment, she seemed to mature quite a bit in an instant.

She said to Fang Ze, "Young Master, I understand."

Having said that, she stood up, bowed to Fang Ze, and said, "Thank you, Young Master."

That night, a nine-tailed fox apparition blossomed over the entire Provincial Government, drawing the gaze of countless people.

At the same time, Hei Yu also approached Fang Ze and reported in a soft voice, "Young Master, Ying has asked me to relay a message."

"She says... her future is worth the fruit. But because Hei Po needs the fruit more right now, she has decided to give it to her."

Upon saying this, Hei Yu paused, then added, "Oh, and she also said... the future has already arrived."

Hearing Hei Yu's words, Fang Ze, who was reading a book, smiled and without lifting his head, said, "Oh? Where is she now?"

Hei Yu responded, "She has taken Wu and a team of people to Congyun City. She said she will get the lay of the land in Yun City for you before you go, so that you can take control directly."

Hearing Hei Yu's words, Fang Ze nodded with a smile...

It seems... the child has grown up, ah.

.....

After seeing off Hei Yu, Fang Ze continued reading in the study.

When it was almost 10 o'clock at night, just as Fang Ze was preparing to go to bed, Miss Li Xiang suddenly paid a visit.

Although unclear about why this girl had come to him so suddenly, due to the alliance between their families, Fang Ze still put on his clothes to meet her.

Entering the villa's living room and taking a seat, Fang Ze then had Hei Yu bring Li Xiang over.

It wasn't long before Li Xiang arrived in the living room of Fang Ze's villa.

Perhaps because they were not in the Security Bureau, their attitudes were much more sincere and straightforward.

Fang Ze looked at Li Xiang, then opened his mouth to ask, "Miss Li Xiang, what brings you here so late at night?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Li Xiang bowed respectfully to him, then said, "Family Head Fang Ze, my father has sent me to submit the signed cooperation agreement for your review."

As she spoke, Li Xiang opened the document bag, took out the files, and handed them over to Fang Ze with both hands.

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Fang Ze gave her a curious glance.

Submitting documents late at night? The Jia Family is quite eager, aren't they?

Thinking this, Fang Ze took the documents, then casually passed them to Hei Yu for examination.

Hei Yu took the documents, read them in silence, then finally bent down and whispered in Fang Ze's ear, "Young Master, the agreement has no issues. And it has also been certified by the Noble Court's law."

Seeing that Hei Yu had finished checking the contract, Li Xiang then said, "Additionally, my father has asked me to convey his congratulations to you. Congratulations on the emergence of the second Mortality-Shedding-level expert under your command."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ze instantly understood the Jia Family's reason for coming late at night: it was undoubtedly because of Hei Po's advancement, making them restless and wanting to secure cooperation quickly.

With this in mind, having understood everything, Fang Ze nodded slightly, then said with a smile, "It appears Uncle has kept himself well informed even after returning to Tang State."

Li Xiang gave a slight smile and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, Family Head Fang Ze."

Having given thanks, Li Xiang also stood up, then said to Fang Ze, "Family Head Fang Ze, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave now."

"My father said he looks forward to your affiliated city coming down soon, so he can formally begin cooperation with you."

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Fang Ze nodded, then said to Hei Yu, "See Miss Li Xiang out."

Hei Yu nodded respectfully, "Yes."

After that, she went to Li Xiang's side and gestured, "Miss Li Xiang, this way, please."

Li Xiang nodded, then followed Hei Yu towards the villa's front door, but just as one of her feet stepped out, she suddenly turned back.

Looking at Fang Ze, Li Xiang gave him a sweet smile, revealing two dimples, "Brother Fang Ze, I'll be going now. Get some rest early, we'll meet tomorrow~"

All day long, Fang Ze had been dealing with the professionally formal Li Xiang, almost forgetting about the ambiguous nature of their relationship. Now, suddenly hearing her sweet address, he unconsciously froze as he was getting up.

He couldn't help but turn his head towards Li Xiang, only to find that right after she finished speaking, she walked out the door with Hei Yu, leaving him with just a beautiful silhouette.

Fang Ze: ...

This girl...

"Director" "Director Fang" "Family Head Fang Ze" "Brother Fang Ze"... each title represented a different identity and relationship.

Through three meetings, Li Xiang managed to separate business from personal matters clearly, appearing open-hearted and candid while also conveying her intentions. She was both alluring and stopping just short, leaving much to the imagination...

She was nothing short of... a siren.

Unfortunately...

Fang Ze shook his head, puzzled, and shrugged, "Is the girl foolish...? No matter how stunning she acts, she's the Jia Family's Demigod seed and can never leave the Jia Family."
