Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 75: Farewell, Never to Meet Again

Bai Xiaotang felt a bit tense in front of Fu Yuanxuan and couldn’t quite lie, her voice tinged with guilt, "No, my good friend came back, they’re living downstairs, I want to go over and stay with them."

Before Fu Yuanxuan arrived here, he had already investigated the ownership information for the top two floors of building number 8. The top floor belonged to Bai Xiaotang, while the floor beneath belonged to Lin Yuanyang. The two girls had always lived on the top floor with Bai Xiaotang before.

Bai Xiaotang saw Fu Yuanxuan pressing his lips and staying silent, bit her lip, lowered her head. Lin Yuanyang, noticing her reaction, glared at her begrudgingly and looked up at Fu Yuanxuan, "Mr. Fu, your identity is special, it’s best not to let too many people know. Those two are outsiders, so it’s inconvenient to live together."

Fu Yuanxuan was somewhat surprised by Lin Yuanyang’s attitude.

Lin Yuanyang had always been very intelligent from a young age, dealing with matters and people with rationality and maturity, never easily assisting anyone, not even getting involved in Bai Xiaotang’s matters. He didn’t expect these two girls could make him speak in their favor.

Fu Yuanxuan discreetly assessed him for a moment, then nodded slightly, "You don’t need to move, I’ll move downstairs."

"Really..." Bai Xiaotang felt happy inside, unwittingly revealing it in her tone. After receiving a glare from Lin Yuanyang, she quickly lowered her head to conceal her feelings, "Brother Fu, wouldn’t this be troublesome?"

"Then should I not move?"

"Huh? No!" Bai Xiaotang raised her head, meeting Fu Yuanxuan’s somewhat teasing gaze, she quickly responded, "I mean, the three of us are usually very noisy and often cause chaos till late, which might disturb your rest..."

Whenever Bai Xiaotang lied, her face would turn red. Fu Yuanxuan watched her skin turn red all the way to the tip of her ears, unknowingly a smile surfaced in his gaze.

"Let them come back, I’m moving over now."

"Oh, okay."

Soon, Ji Ning and Ye Tong encountered Fu Yuanxuan again, this time both sides nodded slightly, acknowledging each other. Ji Ning didn’t hide her habits, carrying her luggage bag directly over Fu Yuanxuan and into Bai Xiaotang’s house.

Ye Tong felt a bit embarrassed, since they had just returned and yet were kicking someone out. It didn’t feel quite right, she wanted to say something, but upon seeing Fu Yuanxuan’s stern face, she swallowed her words, slightly lowered her head and swiftly followed Ji Ning inside.

Bai Xiaotang quickly said to Fu Yuanxuan, "Brother Fu, Xiao Yang will take you downstairs, I won’t be going along. If you have any issues, just tell Xiao Yang... and me. I’m heading in first. Goodbye Brother Fu."

The pleasant mood was almost saying outright: If there’s anything, find Lin Yuanyang, don’t find me. Goodbye, never see again.

Fu Yuanxuan watched the closed security door, suddenly a peculiar feeling surfaced in his heart.

"Mr. Fu, let’s go." Lin Yuanyang adjusted his glasses, leading the way to the elevator.

Lin Yuanyang’s home was identical in structure to Bai Xiaotang’s place, even decorated the same way, but it lacked the lively atmosphere of Bai Xiaotang’s home, clearly uninhabited for a long time.

"The quilt is in the cabinet, toiletries in the bathroom. I’ll bring the everyday items down for you later. If you need anything, just contact me directly."

"You’re not living here?"

After surveying the environment, Fu Yuanxuan looked towards Lin Yuanyang at the door.

Lin Yuanyang paused slightly, replied somewhat awkwardly, "I can’t cook..."

"I can’t either."

"I’m still young, they don’t trust me being alone. If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first, your meal will be delivered shortly."

Without waiting for Fu Yuanxuan to respond, Lin Yuanyang swiftly opened the door and left, fearing he might get detained.

Fu Yuanxuan watched the closed security door, chuckled helplessly.

Since he was young, because his grandfather was the head of the Fu Family, he enjoyed being the center of attention, with countless people eager to get close to the Fu Family, wishing to serve him 24/7. He didn’t expect now to be disliked and disregarded.

One of them even had an informal engagement with him.

Fu Yuanxuan put down the bag he had been carrying, and sat down by the sofa.

He took out a black box from the bag and put the earphones inside his ears, then tapped the Smart Brain on his wrist.

Hissing sounds filled the earphones; he adjusted the knobs on the black box again, and the sound became clearer, revealing a cheerful female voice.

"Sister Ning, Sister Tong said you brought presents for Xiao Yang and me, what are they?"

"Are they in these bags?"

"Let me see what’s here... zz—"

Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound appeared, Fu Yuanxuan quickly pulled out the earphones.

The screen on his Smart Brain displayed [Disconnected].

Fu Yuanxuan looked up at the ceiling, a trace of gloom crossed his gaze.

Meanwhile, Ji Ning poured the black powder in her hand into the sink, listening to Bai Xiaotang’s continuous screams from the living room, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Wow—what a beautiful necklace!"

"Oh my, this jade is imperial glass quality..."

"This is... this is premium sapphire..."

"Did you... rob a jewelry store?"

Bai Xiaotang looked at the dozens of opened wooden boxes in front of her, her expression shifted from amazement to shock to disbelief, she gazed at Ji Ning and Ye Tong in a daze.

"How could we, these were brought back from Nanling by me and Sister Ning." Ye Tong smiled, continuing to pull out wooden boxes from her bag.

"Nanling is rich in gemstones?" Bai Xiaotang’s eyes lit up, as if discovering something remarkable. Just as she was about to ask more, she heard Ji Ning’s voice from behind, "They’re all antiques."

"An...antiques?" Bai Xiaotang’s eyes widened, her breath became lighter.

As a Bai Family member, she naturally has seen many antiques. The Bai Family also collected quite a few. She knew the market value of some antiques, but didn’t expect there were so many in front of her?

Bai Xiaotang suddenly became uneasy, her eyes filled with urgency: "Where did these come from? Could they be obtained illegally? How much did you spend?"

Lin Yuanyang, who had just entered the room, overheard and rolled his eyes helplessly. Bai Xiaotang was too trusting, and when faced with these questionable antiques, her first reaction was wondering if Ji Ning and Ye Tong had been swindled.

Ye Tong glanced at Ji Ning, seeing she nodded slightly, then spoke the truth to Bai Xiaotang: "We didn’t spend any money, these antiques were found in the tomb..."

Bai Xiaotang was so shocked upon hearing that she almost dropped the Emperor’s glass jade box.

Ji Ning added, "Not Netherworld Artifacts."

Lin Yuanyang came over, frowned slightly and asked, "You entered the Pollution Zone?"

"Pollution Zone?" Bai Xiaotang exclaimed, her concern deepened, she stepped forward pulling Ye Tong’s arm, carefully checking, "Are your bodies okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Though Bai Xiaotang didn’t know what Nanling was, she certainly knew what the Pollution Zone was. The danger within the Pollution Zone is such that even superpower users dare not venture into it alone for missions.

How could they dare enter the Pollution Zone?

"Were you gathering herbs for me?" Lin Yuanyang’s eyes blazed as he looked at Ji Ning.

Ye Tong nodded, "Besides herb collecting, Sister Ning wanted to train me, help me find the right feeling to better portray the War God role."

"What’s the Pollution Zone like? Is it dangerous?" Bai Xiaotang’s curiosity was peaking.

"Dangerous, we encountered Mutant Beasts." Ye Tong pulled out two large rolls of animal hide from the bag and placed them on the ground.

The hides were heavy, creating a dull sound as they landed on the ground.
