Chapter 300 - 270: Settle It
"..."
Even with the mentality of a minor rich girl, upon hearing Tao Yu’s words, she seemed to be struck speechless.
Then, she appeared to have a slight headache as she tapped at her own head.
"Explain clearly, which Han Ya?"
"The one you’re thinking of, the external affairs supervisor of the new Development Zone base."
"You killed him? Are you alright? Any injuries?"
The minor rich girl got up and circled Tao Yu, prodding here and there, pinching now and then, and only after confirming he wasn’t missing any flesh did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"What happened? How were you able to kill him? Okay, never mind that for now, start from the beginning and tell me what caused all this."
Sun Shiyu let out a sigh, her pretty face seemingly conflicted.
When Tao Yu saw her concern for his safety before discussing the matter, he felt warmed inside. Hugging her waist and smelling the delicate fragrance at the tip of his nose, he felt unusually clear-headed, and he explained everything from beginning to end.
From the time he was chased by Beast Tamers instigated by boar people to his plans to return for a show of strength by targeting them as shooting practice, and then to their ambush for him, ending with Han Ya’s intervention.
"What? He actually harbored those thoughts towards Shiqing?!"
Sun Shiyu was almost at a loss for words.
On a normal day, Han Ya acted so appropriately that she wouldn’t have chosen him to assist on this side of the task.
"Their power’s side effects, huh…"
Sun Shiyu pondered for a moment as if she thought of something, then she finally spoke up,
"You did well. I’ll go over there later and take care of things. Don’t worry about being found out. Han Ya has artifacts for communication with the secular world on him, so his family regularly checks in with him. I’ll issue an assignment for him to go out on a reconnaissance mission, and they will only sense something is wrong when they fail to reach him at the regular check-in.
It’s not a big problem."
Sun Shiyu thought quickly, and then gave Tao Yu a strange look,
"You rascal, how many of the Pioneers’ experts in this base have you rubbed the wrong way? Even Floating City has started to notice you."
If it had been just Han Ya’s issue, Sun Shiyu could have used the excuse that he had improper thoughts about Sun Shiqing to create trouble for him, but now, it was a fact that Tao Yu had killed him, so she needed to use this safer method.
Even the Suns couldn’t kill a legitimate member of a subordinate family without cause, or else the unity would break down, and the teams would be hard to manage.
"I’ve even set my sights on you, so this is nothing."
Tao Yu finally heaved a sigh of relief and his hand slipped under the T-shirt, truly unable to resist.
"Alright, I still need to tie up loose ends for you."
After patting the hand that was causing trouble, she deftly slipped off a pair of black underwear from under her T-shirt and tossed it to Tao Yu,
"Handle it yourself for now; I’m heading over there. Don’t worry, I’ve got your back if the sky falls."
With her back towards Tao Yu, she waved her hand. Sun Shiyu’s figure flashed, she got dressed in her battle gear with the aid of telekinesis, swiftly flew out the window, and disappeared into semi-transparency in a blink.
And Tao Yu, holding the warm and fragrant ’gift’ in his hands, stared in the direction where the minor rich girl had left, his eyes slightly unfocused.
Initially, he was truly panicked about having killed someone from Floating City, but now he was filled with a sense of security. Oh no...
Tao Yu didn’t have to wait long; in roughly half an hour, Sun Shiyu flew back in through the window, giving Tao Yu an OK gesture.
"It’s taken care of, just don’t blab about it and you’ll be fine."
"Do I need to do anything else?"
"Business as usual. Didn’t you kill two of the Beast Tamers? Just let that slip accidentally later. You’ll have to rely on your own strength to handle the trouble when it happens. You can make a big deal out of it if necessary. If needed, I’ll administer a symbolic punishment to you, so have a good plan ready."
Sun Shiyu’s words caused Tao Yu’s eyes to light up with understanding.

"Keep the two matters separate?"
"Yeah, I used a prop. Han Ya never came back; after all, he was in charge of external affairs."
"Then I’m relieved."
Seeing Tao Yu relax, the minor rich girl proudly puffed out her chest,
"Don’t worry, I will protect you."
However, she then thought of Tao Yu’s strength in killing Han Ya and said with some hesitation,
"But did anything strange happen after you killed Han Ya? Be careful not to be entangled by that thing."
Tao Yu knew she was referring to the eerie blood garment and the power it held.
"There was a blood-colored garment, what about it, will it leave any marks or scent on me?"
Tao Yu brought up his concerns once more.
"I don’t know actually, let me take a good look..."
Sun Shiyu flashed a charming and slightly evil smile, resembling a little demon.
"Wait, didn’t you say it would alert those below?"
"When I came back, I saw Treya had already left, only Shiqing and Long Er are there, it’s fine."
"Wait a second..."
"Relax, Long Er is very innocent, she won’t think too much..."
...
Downstairs, Sun Shiqing was drinking honey water, felt the vibrations from above, and was also curious; she really wanted to go up and have a look.
Little Dragon Girl was also holding her cup of honey water, somewhat confused as she looked up,
"What’s happening?"
"Probably sister is disciplining him."
"Ah? Discipline him that harshly?"
"Yeah, maybe he didn’t behave, don’t worry, my sister will be reasonable about it."
Sun Shiqing watched Little Dragon Girl’s innocent appearance, laughed softly to herself, but she also liked her simplicity very much.
Such character can only stay nearby for protection, otherwise it would be dangerous outside.
"Should I go up there and persuade her?"
Little Dragon Girl hesitated; after all, she had taught the young mistress quite a few things and thought maybe she could persuade her a little bit.
"No, if you go up there, you would definitely get more upset and make things worse. Let’s leave it like that, besides, I need to learn too. You teach me first, umm... but there are some ways in which I’m different from humans, not sure if it would be a problem."
Sun Shiqing blinked, readied to give support once again.
"Alright..."
Little Dragon Girl showed a glimpse of sympathy for Tao Yu but sighed and decided to no longer pay attention to the upstairs.
Young Master Tao sometimes really does ask for trouble, being disciplined might actually be good for him to focus...
...
Tao Yu, his face somewhat pale from punishment, came downstairs without disturbing Sun Shiqing, who was sitting in meditation, and nodded to Little Dragon Girl, who was by her side watchfully.
Little Dragon Girl, seeing Tao Yu’s drained appearance, sighed. The hits were heavy, indeed, but with no visible injuries, it was controlled. She wondered what he had done wrong.
After a thought, Little Dragon Girl, with her bare feet, tapped lightly and floated to the side, picked up a teacup, and tiptoed over to Tao Yu, handing it to him. She whispered,
"Honey from the Jade Bee, have some to regain your strength."
"Uh, thanks, thank you..."
Tao Yu, seeing Little Dragon Girl offering something for recovery, almost thought she knew what happened, but looking at her pure, unblemished eyes, he knew he had probably misunderstood.
He finished in one gulp; the warm water mixed with honey was immediately sweet and fragrant upon entering his mouth, soothing as it went down his throat and settling in the stomach, spreading a warm sensation.
No wonder Little Dragon Girl could be reared on honey, this stuff is rich in both nutrients and energy.
After expanding the breeding operations, it’s going to be a good thing. When I have time, I need to see Li Mochou, the little rich girls may not fancy it, but I can take it for use in the company. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
