Balala the Magic Fairy

Chapter 343 Fisherman's Cage (73)

After several days of tracking, Yan Lili and others finally found Xiang Huaqiang's trace in a valley. They hid in the dark and quietly approached an exquisite courtyard here. Outside the courtyard wall, Xiang Huaqiang was accompanying her attendant Wang Chuanjun. The two talked and laughed, and were affectionate, snuggling with each other under the wall.

Wang Chuanjun stared greedily at the persimmons on a tree in the yard.

He whispered to Xiang Huaqiang, "Master, I want that persimmon."

Xiang Huaqiang smiled slightly, with a hint of doting in her eyes: "Whatever Chuan Jun wants, I will naturally get it for you."

After that, her figure disappeared like a ghost, and when she appeared again, she had sneaked into Guo Biting's private courtyard. She moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye she picked the largest persimmon on the tree. When she was about to leave, she was discovered by the guards in the courtyard.

"There's a thief!" The guard's shout broke the tranquility of the courtyard, but Xiang Huaqiang was not in a hurry. Her figure quickly shuttled through the garden and easily escaped the guard's pursuit.

She returned to Wang Chuanjun and handed him the persimmon, her eyes full of pride: "Baby, I have already got what you wanted for you."

Wang Chuanjun took the persimmon and showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Master, you are so kind to your servant."

However, this heartwarming scene did not last long.

Guo Biting's attendant Cheng He heard about this and was very dissatisfied with Xiang Huaqiang's behavior. Cheng He's eyes flashed with resentment. He found Guo Biting and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, Xiang Huaqiang is too much. She actually stole the Halloween persimmon you gave me. You must help me and take the persimmon back from Wang Chuanjun."

Guo Biting frowned, she was also very angry about Xiang Huaqiang's behavior. She comforted him softly: "Hehe, you don't have to argue with her. It's just a persimmon, it's not worth making a fuss. Next year, I will plant persimmon trees all over Eluosi for you."

Cheng He was unyielding: "Your Majesty, this is not just a matter of persimmons. This is disrespectful to you. I cannot tolerate it."

Guo Biting sighed. She knew Cheng He's temper. Once he made a decision, it would be difficult to change it. She could only nod: "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Therefore, Guo Biting sent a team of elite female soldiers to Xiang Huaqiang's secret residence to ask her to return the persimmons. After Yan Lili and others learned about this, they decided to follow secretly and look for opportunities to negotiate with Xiang Huaqiang to completely resolve the crisis of the men of the Eluosi Empire.

The female soldiers soon came to Xiang Huaqiang's courtyard and shouted at her to return the persimmon. However, Xiang Huaqiang didn't care and sneered, "It's just a persimmon, Guo Biting is so stingy."

The two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. At this moment, Yan Lili and others suddenly appeared.

Yan Lili said: "Xiang Huaqiang, it is not worth starting a conflict over a persimmon. Why don't we sit down and talk to solve the real problem of the Eluosi Empire."

Xiang Huaqiang's eyes flashed with hesitation, but she quickly returned to normal: "Humph, if you are here for those men, then there is nothing to talk about. All this is the punishment they deserve."

Xiaoyue said hurriedly: "In the final analysis, all of this is your own fault. You can't blame others. You want everyone to live in pain just for your own personal grudge. You are so vicious!"

Xiang Huaqiang was silent for a moment, seeming to be touched.

At this time, Wang Chuanjun said, "Master, don't believe them, they are all here to deceive you. Whatever you do is right. If you can't get what you want, then no one else can get it. Master, you are not wrong! It's all their fault."

Xiang Huaqiang's face became gloomy again. She waved her hand to signal the female soldiers and Yan Lili and others to leave quickly. She did not want to kill anyone.

Yan Lili was helpless. They knew the gap in strength between themselves and Xiang Huaqiang, so they could only retreat temporarily with everyone else.

On the way back, Zhu Bajie muttered, "This woman is really stubborn. I, an old pig, am at a loss for words."

Yan Lili pondered for a moment and said, "It seems we have to find another way."

Everyone nodded and began to plan their next move.
