My Pretty Campus Queen

The two originally thought it was the villagers, scared to come out, but after hearing Chen Tianlong’s shout, they slowly came out. Chen Tianlong couldn’t help but smile bitterly; these two were really cautious.

No time to waste, Chen Tianlong didn’t linger and directly asked Tan Xianglan to call Swift Phoenix over.

Tan Xianglan nodded, called out "little chick," and suddenly a little head poked out from her small bag, startling Chen Tianlong. Moments later, Swift Phoenix jumped to the ground and began to transform.

The four of them, having experienced it once before, immediately climbed up, and with a flap of its wings, Swift Phoenix soared into the sky.

When the villagers came chasing, seeing Swift Phoenix flying in the sky, they all thought it was Divine Phoenix and hurriedly knelt down to worship it. Watching Swift Phoenix leave, the thrilling scene finally ended.

Swift Phoenix soared in the sky, flying in the direction Chen Tianlong pointed. Soon, they arrived at the stronghold of Xiao He, the king of the West Suburb Dong Race. After the four dismounted from Swift Phoenix, Xu Ke finally returned home, exhaling deeply.

At this moment, a large group of people came out of the stronghold, and Xu Ke hurriedly inquired about Xiao He’s condition, learning that it had worsened, he became quite worried.

Chen Tianlong smiled bitterly in his heart; the acupuncture points he pressed could not be released for a long time, surely the condition worsened — did he need to explain that?

"Chen Tianlong, you’ve got what you wanted, please spare our king." After interacting with Chen Tianlong over the past two days, Xu Ke knew this person’s abilities were extraordinary and now wouldn’t dare confront him.

"Haha, I said that you helping me get the things would surely lead to saving him." Chen Tianlong said lightly.

"Alright, thank you very much, Chen Tianlong." Xu Ke expressed his gratitude.

Hence, Chen Tianlong and Tan Xianglan were led into the stronghold. Only now did Chen Tianlong truly realize the vastness of the stronghold; it was akin to a fortress, no wonder Xiao He feared death so much. With such land, if he could be self-sufficient, it would allow them to sustain themselves, eliminating the necessity for robbery.

"Xianglan, what do you think of this stronghold?" Chen Tianlong suddenly asked.

Tan Xianglan was taken aback, not knowing what Chen Tianlong meant; could he be planning to stay here permanently?

If that were the case, Tan Xianglan truly would be willing. Living together with Chen Tianlong in such a peaceful place, having children, watching the sunrise and sunset daily, was quite alluring, without the need to return to bothersome matters.

But, Tan Xianglan knew this was impossible. Not to mention that this stronghold wasn’t theirs, though it was serene, could they truly reside here long-term?

Evidently not; accustomed to the urban conveniences of computers, smartphones, internet, various hotels, karaoke bars, bustling cities brimming with lights and luxuries, they thought this way simply out of exhaustion from city noise.

"Not bad, the scenery is beautiful!" Tan Xianglan replied casually.

"Great, then I’ll buy it for you!" Chen Tianlong said, smiling lightly.

"Huh? Buy it? For me?" Tan Xianglan’s face turned red; Chen Tianlong’s meaning was evident. Was he thinking of marrying her? But then upon second thought, it seemed he was merely jesting to please her, saying, "Humph, just trying to make me happy; aren’t you already surrounded by wives? How could I compete?"

"Hehe, we can live together; this stronghold is like a castle. People together are lively; I’ll renovate the inside to include everything — network, bars — turning it into our own urban paradise, exclusive and populated only by my followers."

Chen Tianlong began expounding his grand plans, which were feasible given his current assets exceeding two billion.

His main subsequent endeavor was building Dream City, relocating Ice City and his company there, aiming for a high-tech talent hub, planning to merge Chen Group with World Medicine Group, already settling on the name Changsheng Pharmaceutical Group.

Then, he might become the richest person in South Sea City.

"Okay, your dreams are really grand." Tan Xianglan pouted; the offer to buy the place for her was delightful, but sharing him with many women was not.

After all, what woman wants to share her man with others?

Talking as they went, they arrived at the stronghold hall where dozens of people stood tensely awaiting. In one room, a woman emerged.

The woman looked quite nice, well-rounded, seeming around twenty-three or twenty-four, with a gentle and delicate appearance. Chen Tianlong was puzzled; how could such beauty exist here unless Xiao He had kidnapped her?

Indeed, but as Chen Tianlong passed by her, he distinctly sensed her sadness.

Seeing Chen Tianlong, the woman was momentarily stunned, but she mistook him for being part of the stronghold’s group and didn’t linger, walking past directly.

"Why are you staring? Go do your own thing." The housekeeper Xu Ke spoke up.

"Housekeeper, what does this woman do?" Chen Tianlong deliberately asked.

"Oh, she’s one of our servants, mainly serving the king." Xu Ke’s eyes flickered while saying this, as if lying. Seeing this, Chen Tianlong knew there must be something fishy behind it.

However, there was no time to investigate now, and he followed Xu Ke into the room.

"Cough, cough... Chen Tianlong, you’re finally back; I’ve been waiting forever, quickly, give me the antidote!" Xiao He’s spirits lifted upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s return.

Watching him being gleeful about being deceived, Chen Tianlong felt great disdain. Nonetheless, fulfilling promises was necessary. To avoid others seeing through the façade, Chen Tianlong asked the housekeeper to escort everyone out.

Soon, Chen Tianlong relieved Xiao He’s blocked acupuncture points and then deliberately took out silver needles, inserting them into Xiao He’s body, then pressed hard on his back, causing a mouthful of blood to spew from Xiao He’s mouth.

At this moment, Xiao He suddenly felt an incomparable lightness, as if something inside him was cleared, feeling very comfortable.

"Done." After finishing everything, Chen Tianlong smiled lightly.

"Haha... wonderful, I’m finally cured." Xiao He was elated, promptly standing up, and the two departed the room.

Outside, the people seeing their leader well again all breathed a sigh of relief.

But just as everyone was reveling, a servant hurriedly came to report: "Chief, it’s bad, a large group of police has appeared outside, approximately twenty to thirty of them, led by a female officer. They are quite formidable, and many of our brothers guarding the area have been injured seriously; we’re struggling to hold them off."

"Damn, a female officer? Excellent, I’ve wanted a policewoman as a wife for the stronghold; now she’s delivered herself to me!" Xiao He, having just recovered, was facing an immediate challenge and retorted angrily: "Call all the brothers urgently, gear up, and follow me out."

"Yes!"

Advisor Xu Ke received the command and immediately liaised with henchman Wang Du to deploy forces.

Hearing the news, Chen Tianlong, Tan Xianglan, Zhang Li, and the others realized that the stronghold must be engaged in criminal activities, attracting police confrontation.
