The heatwave swept away the fishy smell of the sea, drifting along with the sound of the raging waves hitting the shore. A black Mercedes-Benz SUV was like a runaway wild horse, roaring and sprinting on the coastal road with the roar of the engine.
However …
As the four black Land Rover SUVs gradually caught up from behind, Tan Xiu in the black Mercedes-Benz SUV looked confused.
"Do you want me to deal with those cars, Boss?"
Ghost sat in the front passenger seat with his legs crossed. Ever since he came out of the Time Matrix, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He was very jumpy and very belligerent. It was as if he had become a particularly impulsive hooligan.
Tan Xiu glanced at him and indifferently said, "If you think you have plenty of time, find a woman to fall in love with. I think you have too much anger inside and need to vent it out. "
"Ugh …"
Spectre's frivolous expression instantly froze. He looked at Tan Xiu with a hollow smile and directly turned his head to look out the window. Inwardly, he snorted and muttered, "Who said I didn't find one? Three days ago, I talked about life and ideals with six beauties, and then rolled the sheets. "
In the driver's seat, Gu Tao gripped the steering wheel with eyes gleaming. As the car sped up, a few minutes later, he turned his head and reported, "Boss, there are four cars in front of us. They are the same type of cars that are chasing us."
"Stop the car!" said Tan Xiu.
Gu Tao nodded and slowed down the car to stop the car on the roadside. Zhang Jue, who was sitting next to Tan Xiu, quickly got off the car and went to the other side. After opening the door for Tan Xiu, he said in a low voice, "Boss, there are eight cars and 16 people. Judging from their appearance, they should be martial arts practitioners. "
Tan Xiu got off the car. After lighting a cigarette, he looked at the 16 people coming from the front and the back. His eyes finally fell on the leader of the eight people in front.
"Mr. Tang."
The person who came was a gentleman, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, holding a briefcase in his hand, and wearing a designer suit that fit him very well. The way he looked at Tan Xiu was also very respectful.
Tan Xiu sized him up a few times before looking at the turbulent sea and indifferently said, "Are you looking for trouble by blocking me on the coastal road with such fanfare? Or did he come to ask for help? Let me say this first, if you want to cause trouble, then come at me. If you want help, then get the hell out of here. I don't have time. "
The refined middle-aged man chuckled and said, "We're not looking for trouble or help, Mr. Tang. It's my wife who wants to see you. "
"I'm busy."
Tan Xiu was in a hurry to go to Country T. How could he have the leisure to see Madam?
The middle-aged man's expression turned stiff and he immediately let out a dry smile. "Mr. Tang, I'm Sun Bo, the General Manager's Assistant of the Ouyang Group. My Madam is just a few kilometers away by the seaside. We naturally won't dare to stop you if you don't want to see her. I'll immediately go back and report to her."
Ouyang Group?
Madam?
With a strange expression, Tan Xiu asked, "Who is she to Ouyang Lulu?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "She is the Eldest Miss's mother."
"Fuck!"
Tan Xiu cursed inwardly. If it were someone else, he would absolutely be disinclined to pay attention to them. But this Madam was Ouyang Lulu's mother, his cheap mother-in-law. Even if he was more powerful, he couldn't not give her face! After stuffing out the cigarette butt, Tan Xiu forced a smile and said, "You should've told me who she is earlier. Would I have dared to say I don't want to see her? But tell me in advance, why is she looking for me? "
"I'm just an errand boy, Mr. Tang. How would I know this kind of thing?! You're the future son-in-law of our Ouyang Family. If I knew, I would've told you in advance! "
Cough, cough …
Tan Xiu coughed a few times and waved his hand. "Get in the car and lead the way."
A few minutes later.
The convoy stopped on the coastal road a few kilometers away. After Tan Xiu got off the car, he saw a woman in a plain white dress standing on the beach not far away. It was impossible to tell her age from her back. But she stood there with her arms folded, as if she was integrated with the world in front of her, looking very harmonious.
She's an expert.
Tan Xiu secretly praised her inside. He came behind her alone and said, "You … want to see me?"
Mu Qinxin gently turned around and appeared in front of Tan Xiu. A graceful and elegant face with a smiling expression appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Ouyang Lulu, but a lot more mature. As the bell on her wrist rang, a somewhat magnetic voice said, "Nice to meet you, Tan Xiu."
"It's my first time meeting you, Auntie. You're really younger than I imagined," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
Mu Qinxin smiled and suddenly raised her arm to point at the sea, asking, "What do you think about it?"
Tan Xiu stared blankly. He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Mu Qinxin was selling in her gourd. She inexplicably looked for him and even talked about an irrelevant topic. However, he still said, "The sea contains hundreds of rivers and is vast and boundless. It's full of auspiciousness and crisis. It contains infinite treasures and also has endless killing traps. "
"What else?" asked Mu Qinxin with a faint smile.
What else?
Tan Xiu really couldn't figure out what she was thinking about. He thought for a moment and asked, "Which aspect do you mean, Auntie?"
Mu Qinxin smiled and said, "What is it in your eyes? Is it big or not? "
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Water is the foundation of man, and the sea is the container of water. Be it this sea in front of you or all the oceans on Earth, they are all pitifully small in my eyes. "
"Pitifully small?" asked Mu Qinxin. "Can you conquer it?"
Mu Qinxin asked. "Time. I need time," said Tan Xiu proudly. "Give me some time. Let alone this sea in front of me, even the entire Earth is just a drop in the ocean in my eyes."
Mu Qinxin nodded and said, "If I want the entire Earth to be just a drop in the ocean in my eyes, what do you think I can do?"
"Ugh …"
Tan Xiu instantly understood and looked at the smiling Mu Qinxin in front of him. He forced a smile and took out an ancient cultivation manual from his interspatial ring as well as two jade bottles, saying, "Auntie, you can break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao and ascend to the Immortal World if you can cultivate the cultivation technique in this ancient manual. These two bottles contain 20 Essence Amassing Pills, which I've spent a lot of effort to concoct. Please don't think it's too little. "
Mu Qinxin's eyes lit up and she looked at Tan Xiu with praise. She then softly said, "Lulu, you really have a good eye. I, Mu Qinxin, have a good daughter! I never thought that I'd need to rely on her light one day. Tan Xiu, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I need your promise. "
Tan Xiu was silent for a moment and then said, "I'll take care of her for 10,000 years if she doesn't betray me."
"You've passed my test," said Mu Qinxin with satisfaction. "But I still need to ask something from you. If you can give it to me, you'll be the son-in-law of the Ouyangs from now on."
"What is it?"
Asked Tan Xiu.
"Any one of the zodiac jade carvings," said Mu Qinxin.
Tan Xiu's expression changed and he replied without hesitation, "There are a total of 12 zodiac jade carvings. It won't be of much use to me even if I have one or even 11 of them. Only by collecting a complete set of the zodiac jade carvings will it be of great use to me in the future. Auntie Mu, the zodiac jade carvings are too important to me. They're thousands of times more important than the cultivation technique and pills I gave you. I'm sorry. "
Mu Qinxin shot a deep look at Tan Xiu and slowly opened the bag on her shoulder. She then took out a red and lifelike jade dog and handed it to Tan Xiu with a smile. "I'm afraid our Ouyangs can't be compared with you in terms of wealth. I'm sure you won't be interested in Lulu's dowry. So, I'll use this jade dog to replace Lulu's dowry. What do you think? "
Jade dog?
A look of ecstasy flashed in Tan Xiu's eyes. After receiving it, he inspected it and confirmed that it was one of the 12 zodiac jade carvings. He looked up at Mu Qinxin's faint smile and seriously said, "Thank you, Auntie. That's enough."
"I've given Lulu's dowry to you, but I need to ask for something that I haven't found yet," said Mu Qinxin with a smile. "Lulu's father likes antiques and cultural relics. If you have something suitable, can you show your sincerity?"
Tan Xiu gave it a thought and gently spread out his hand. The huge Golden Dragon's head instantly appeared in his hand. Even though the Golden Dragon's head was very heavy, it didn't put any pressure on him at all. He then asked, "What do you think of this Golden Dragon's head, Auntie?"
"This …"
Mu Qinxin was scared. She had heard about the origin of this Golden Dragon's head and knew that it was a national treasure. This Golden Dragon's head had caused a lot of bloodshed in the past. Suddenly, she didn't dare to accept it.
Tan Xiu looked at Mu Qinxin's expression and thought that she wasn't satisfied with it, so he immediately said, "If Uncle isn't satisfied with it, I'll …"
Mu Qinxin hurriedly raised her hand to interrupt Tan Xiu and forced a smile. "That's enough. I just hesitated because I felt that this thing is too precious and … too hot."
Tan Xiu smiled and said, "This Golden Dragon's head is indeed very precious, but it's worthless compared to Lulu's. Since I'm going to give this Golden Dragon's head to Uncle, I believe no one will dare to cause trouble for the Ouyangs because of it. Besides, you've already obtained a cultivation manual, so the Ouyangs' strength will only skyrocket in the future and won't be defeated. "
Mu Qinxin thought about it and felt that what Tan Xiu said was very reasonable. This Golden Dragon's head was indeed precious, but it was far from being comparable to the cultivation manual. She even dared to accept a cultivation manual, let alone this Golden Dragon's head?
"Put it down, Tan Xiu!"
After putting down the Golden Dragon's head, Tan Xiu was about to speak, but Mu Qinxin took out something and handed it to Tan Xiu, saying, "This is a map fragment. Legend has it that it's a treasure map to a hidden treasure trove, but I'm not sure whether it's true or not. I'll be in seclusion for some time after returning to the clan today, and I don't want to look for treasures anymore. Hence, I'll give it to you! You can look for it later if you're interested. "
Treasure map?
Incomplete map?
Tan Xiu looked at the many patterns on the sheepskin scroll and his expression suddenly moved. He faintly felt that the terrain marked on this sheepskin scroll was somewhat familiar.
