Chapter 76: Counter-Devour!!

  "Pei Ping, today's matter will be let go like this. In the future, I hope that when you flatter people, you'll make sure to get it right first. As for Zheng Yang, I will truthfully report your actions to your superior, and how they choose to handle it is their business, I won't interfere again." Madam Lei continued to say.

  Pei Ping, who heard this, finally felt relieved in his heart, what a close call!

  Looking at Zheng Yang, he was already sweating profusely. His superior was a stubborn old man who did things meticulously and would never tolerate subordinates doing anything wrong. If today's events were to be known by his superior, there was no doubt that he would first be dismissed from office and then handed over to the judicial department for handling.

  He has been charged with bribery, abuse of power and dereliction of duty. With so many charges against him, he will probably spend four or five years in prison.

  Just thinking about it, Zheng Yang's legs had already begun to soften, but at this point, there was nothing else he could do. Coming on strong, Xiao Hong's abilities were not ordinary, and he sat beside him, so how could he just sit idly by?

  Even if Baiyan makes another move, it's not necessarily a good outcome. That being said, Xiao Hong may not be able to beat him, but don't forget that there is still the entire Bi'an team outside the door, and in this room, there are also Li Le, Lin Zi and seven or eight others.

  Even if we still can't win, we can at least drag it out until the security guards arrive. More importantly, in a public place like this, using violence on Mrs. Lei would be unwise, unless they're tired of living.

  "But as for you, I don't want to say anything more to you. Later, I will explain everything clearly to Lei Rongxuan and let him decide how to handle it. However, the house where your pharmacy is located belongs to the Zelei family, and now I have decided to take it back." Madam Lei said softly, then took the mirror handed over by Xiao Hong, looked at herself, and saw that the mark on her forehead had returned to normal, without a single trace of any injury.

  "As for the empty house, you can use it, Xiao Hong." Madam Lei said with a smile.

  Everyone who heard this was moved in their hearts, and unexpectedly, Fuyan's scheme to destroy Dahongmei's core ended up being counterproductive, and instead, Dahong Pharmacy swallowed it whole.

  "Then thank you, Mrs. Lei." Xiao Hong smiled and said in a calm tone. As for the specific area of Chunyan Medicine House, Xiao Hong was not clear for the time being, but just from the front hall, the area was basically more than twice that of Dahongmei Center. It happened that Xiao Hong was preparing to expand, but didn't want to leave here and lose old customers. The Chunyan Medicine House across the street was absolutely an excellent choice.

  As for Pei Yan's life or death, it had nothing to do with Xiao Hong anymore, and he wouldn't feel any sympathy or ask for mercy. In his heart, Xiao Hong couldn't wait for Pei Yan to die sooner.

  "Tomorrow, I'll send someone to take away the things from Chunyan Medicine House. From then on, you can do whatever you want. And starting from today, I choose to invest in Dahongmei Center." Mrs. Lei said, taking out a silver coin from her pocket and placing it on the table.

  Such an action, people around can naturally see clearly, what can a silver coin do? Obviously, the stock is fake, and the real one is the center of Dahongmei. From now on, whoever dares to move the center of Dahongmei will undoubtedly be equivalent to infringing on Leifu's interests. Although this interest is only one silver coin, it can serve as an excuse.

  Half an hour later, after Zheng Yang and Pei Ping left, this farce can be considered as coming to an end.

  Mrs. Lei picked up her daughter and signaled to Pei Yan to follow him, preparing to leave, but was stopped by Xiao Hong, who was extremely vigilant.

  "Lei sister, don't go with Fuyan, be careful of being pushed to the wall." Xiao Hong whispered in Lei's ear, reminding her that in his opinion, Fuyan was now desperate and wouldn't dare make a move in public, but once he got into the car with Lei, who knew what would happen to this widow and orphan. After all, Fuyan was already a first-class driver, and it would be easy for him to get rid of Lei.

  Mrs. Lei's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, and then nodded in agreement with Xiao Hong's idea.

  "Ren Xiang, trouble you to take Lei Jie home, don't stop along the way." Xiao Hong instructed Ren Xiang.

  "Alright, Auntie Lei... no, I mean, Big Sister Lei, this way please." Ren Xiang paused for a moment and made a welcoming gesture. He himself was also very clear that if he were to call Madam Lei "Auntie", wouldn't that make him Xiao Hong's nephew?

  After Madame Lei left, Fu Yan didn't stay for long either. He gave Xiao Hong a fierce glance before turning around and leaving.

  Looking at the figure of Pei Yan leaving, Xiao Hong's relaxed expression had vanished, replaced by endless vigilance. He was very clear that although the problem in front of him had been solved, he had suffered a great loss today and even lost Chunyan Medicine House. It was likely that as long as Pei Yan didn't die, he would come back for revenge sooner or later.

  He had fully experienced the terror of Xiao Hong, a Rider-level cultivator, and he was very clear that if he wanted to stand undefeated in his confrontation with Fu Yan, he must seize every opportunity to improve his strength. Once he reached the level of a Rider, Fu Yan would no longer be something to fear.

  After everything calmed down, Xiao Hong came to Li Le's side and gave him a physical examination. He was fine, just a small cut on the corner of his mouth.

  Similarly, Xiao Hong also checked his right hand, the collision just now was not light, fortunately, Fu Yan did not major in battle tattoos, and the examination result showed that nothing was wrong.

  After checking the time, it was already five o'clock, and after operating for another hour, Xiao Hong chose to close the door.

  After dinner, returning to his own bedroom, Xiao Hong's internal driving force was still not small, and the cyan-black magic bead had not been used.

  Xiao Hong practiced the Body State Training Method again, then picked up the Second Generation Yu Xiang Magic Pattern. He sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to continue improving his control over the Yu Xiang, but just as he was about to start, Xiao Hong suddenly remembered what Mu Xi'er had told him before - why not use the Mo Nai auxiliary pattern?

  Thinking of Muxi's sweet appearance, Xiao Hong couldn't help but reveal a smile, and then took out the Mo Nai Fu pattern and drove it.

  Mo Nai Fuwen consumes very little energy, only one-twentieth of the energy consumed by Mo Xiang's magic pattern, which is almost negligible.

  With the activation of Mo Nai Fuwen, Xiaohong suddenly felt that the driving force consumed by the second-generation Xiangmo pattern had decreased significantly, and the effect of the second-generation Xiangmo pattern had also increased significantly, at least by 10%.

  Undoubtedly, such an application has made Xiao Hong's practice twice as effective. The flexible use of Mo Nai Fuwen must be the essence of "not letting it down" in "De Shi Ao Mian Wen".

  After a brief excitement, Xiao Hong made an effort to calm his mind and sat cross-legged on the bed, wholeheartedly cultivating his driving force. Due to Fu Yan's provocation, Xiao Hong, who was already extremely crazy in his cultivation, became even more frantic.

  As usual, Xiao Hong would often feel tired and stop to make some low-level magic patterns that were not too energy-consuming but very interesting according to the introductions in various books. But now, whether it was burning money or hard work, Xiao Hong didn't care about anything anymore, just focusing on upgrading his driving force.

  Along the way, he only stopped once to see if Mo Nai's auxiliary pattern had any effect on the magic pattern, but found that it had no effect at all. This discovery did not make Xiao Hong too disappointed, as he had expected such a result beforehand.

  Due to the limited power of Mo Nai's auxiliary pattern, it is aimed at driving the magic pattern. The production of the magic pattern is a direct infusion of power, and there is no need to drive the magic pattern, which is ineffective and normal.

  Until midnight two o'clock, Xiao Hong's physical strength was almost exhausted, and he fell asleep drowsily.

  The next morning, get up early and continue practicing for an hour before doing anything else.

  Thanks to the assistance of Mo Nai Fuwen, after just one night, Xiao Hong's driving force increased by 22 units. At this rate, in less than five days, he can upgrade to the ninth level of driving skills. This is also thanks to Mu Xi'er's reminder. More importantly, with the help of Mo Nai Fuwen, Xiao Hong will also save a lot of driving force during business operations.

  As Dahong Pharmacy opened for business, Xiao Hong could clearly see that Chunyan Pharmacy across the street had closed its doors, and several members of the Zelei family were dismantling the signboard and helping to move things inside.

  At the same time, on the official information platform of Taiwu City, an official explanation was also given for the battle near the stadium's streets yesterday: Interstellar fugitives infiltrated Taiwu City, and the Bellon Military pursued them here, causing chaos. The situation is now under effective control, and citizens are asked not to panic.

  Such an explanation might be convincing to those who didn't witness the scene, but having seen it with my own eyes and even participated in a small part of Xiao Hong's battle, I couldn't be easily deceived. Although I don't know their specific background, judging from the mysterious people's combat skills and the tactics they used, it was absolutely not something that interstellar fugitives could achieve. The feeling it gave me was more like it was done by an army no less powerful than Belo's. As for who they were and what their purpose was, Xiao Hong knew nothing about it.

  But such things are not what Xiao Hong can concern himself with, at the moment, what Xiao Hong is most concerned about is the staff opposite him, to quickly vacate Chunyan Medicine House so he can move in, especially since Lin Zi and others have already made great progress and just need a bit of training to master it.

  The current Dahongmei center is unable to accommodate so many people working at the same time, and facing the explosive customer source, they can't do their business due to insufficient staff and area, which is a great pity.

  However, Xiao Hong himself did not think much about it and focused on attending to customers as usual, after all, this was his source of livelihood.

  At the same time, in a humble courtyard near the city hall in downtown Taiwu City, the atmosphere was not so relaxed.

  Mo Xuan's face was stern as he stood in an empty room, the entire space devoid of windows except for a thick iron door, with walls that had become impenetrable.
