My Top-Tier Tycoon Wife

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Luo Xiu naturally lost the urge to kill and even planned to rescue the blonde beauty.

He picked up the blonde woman from the ground, dispelled Fei Xiao's Body of the Dark Land, then retrieved Fei Xiao's soul and took Zhang Yi with him into the Land of Lawlessness.

The blonde's injuries were serious. Without treatment, it was feared she would breathe her last within half an hour. But as long as she wasn't completely dead, it wouldn't be so easy for her to die on Luo Xiu's watch.

Under Luo Xiu's treatment, the blonde's condition soon stabilized, and she slowly regained consciousness. Upon seeing Luo Xiu, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and her delicate body trembled as she attempted to struggle.

Zhang Yi quickly reached out to hold her down.

"Don't move. We won't harm you. Your injuries are very serious right now."

Hearing this, the blonde looked at Zhang Yi blankly. She remembered a terrible explosion had occurred earlier, though she didn't know what exactly had exploded. Before she could escape, she was swept into the sky by the terrifying blast wave and lost consciousness.

Seeing her staring blankly, Zhang Yi thought she might not understand the language of Hua Country and added, "Your injury is very serious."

The blonde replied, "I understand the language of Hua Country."

Zhang Yi felt a bit embarrassed and stuck out her tongue. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? My pronunciation isn't very good."

The blonde said, "My name is Wendy. Was it you who saved me?"

At that moment, Luo Xiu spoke up. "Girl from M Country, all your teammates are dead."

Hearing this, Wendy's gaze sharpened, and she glared angrily at Luo Xiu. "What exactly did you do? Why was there an explosion?"

Luo Xiu adjusted the glasses on his nose and said with a smile, "Your life is in my hands right now, so I would appreciate it if you paid attention to your tone."

Wendy still glared at him, teeth clenched, completely unafraid.

"I am a princess of Country Y, with the noble bloodline of the Elizabeth family flowing through my veins! I am the future Queen of Country Y. If you dare to harm me, my mother, the Queen, will never let you off!"

Luo Xiu was surprised and exchanged a glance with Zhang Yi. I didn't expect her to be Her Highness the Princess. No wonder she's so prim and proud.

Luo Xiu said, "If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't be lying here talking to me. What I want to know is, why did you repeatedly save my teammate?"

At his words, Wendy quieted down. She glanced at Zhang Yi, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, my master is from Hua Country. I didn't want to see that guy, Mark, harm members of the Hua Country team, so I secretly helped this lady."

"I see," Luo Xiu nodded lightly, then asked, "Who is your master?"

Considering her current situation, Wendy decided she had to reveal her background to survive. She suddenly raised her head, looking at Luo Xiu with pride.

"The head of the Inspection Bureau of Hua Country, Ai Hongye. You know of her, right? She's my master!

"Her Majesty the Empress of Hua Country is my grandmaster!

"The White Skirt Medical Immortal is my third Martial Uncle!

"And let me tell you, my master's junior brother—my youngest Martial Uncle—is the Descendant of Ghost Valley! So if you dare harm me and they find out, you will pay an even more painful price!"

Hearing Wendy's words, Luo Xiu fell silent. As he looked at her now, his gaze grew gentler.

If what this foreign girl says is true, then she's my martial niece. I can't believe Ai Hongye secretly took on a disciple, and the princess of Country Y at that.

Zhang Yi laughed. "So your background is really powerful. I guess there aren't many people in this world who would dare to touch you."

"But I'd still advise you to watch your attitude. Our Gentlemanly Doctor here has a pretty bad temper. You don't want to provoke him."

Wendy scoffed lightly, as if in disdain.

Luo Xiu asked, "Since you're the princess of Country Y, why did you join the M Country Team?"

Wendy replied, "My third Martial Uncle arranged it. She wanted me to keep an eye on the M Country Team's movements and closely monitor a woman named Grenna."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu fell into deep thought. The M Country Team had four men and two women. Now, the men were all dead, leaving just the two women. So, the one they hadn't found in the crater must be the woman Wendy called Grenna. The fact that she could escape Fei Xiao's self-destruction proved she was no ordinary person.

Wendy looked up at Luo Xiu. "We're practically on the same side. Are you still going to harm me now?"

Luo Xiu shook his head gently, his gaze tender as he returned her competition tag and thanked her.

She is my martial niece, after all. I certainly won't make things difficult for her. Although he still had doubts about Wendy's claimed origins and didn't fully believe her, the fact that she had saved Zhang Yi was indisputable. For that alone, he wouldn't make things difficult for her.

Wendy was momentarily stunned by Luo Xiu's sudden gentleness and care.

"What's the matter, Hua Country man? Looking at me with eyes like that, are you thinking of sleeping with me?"

"PFFT…"

Hearing that, Zhang Yi immediately snorted.

Luo Xiu felt dark lines forming on his forehead. This foreign girl is unbelievably bold.

"You're thinking too much," he said, reaching out and placing his hand on Wendy's shoulder.

Wendy's body trembled, and she said angrily, "You just said I was thinking too much, and now you're trying to take off my bra! All you Hua Country men are hypocrites!"

Veins throbbed on Luo Xiu's forehead. This foreign girl is unbelievable.

"Who the hell wants to take off your damn bra? I'm healing you!"

After speaking, he quietly infused a strand of Qi Huang Medicine Power into her, then withdrew his hand. He took a deep breath and said, "You two stay here and recover. Don't wander off. I need to get going."

Zhang Yi followed him. "Gentlemanly Doctor, I want to go, too."

Luo Xiu responded, "Forget it. You're injured, and it would be too much trouble to bring you along. Just stay here and take good care of our saucy princess. Now that you have company, you shouldn't be scared, right?"

Zhang Yi sighed helplessly. "That makes sense."

"Wait a minute, you despicable doctor!" Wendy called out again.

Luo Xiu stopped and turned to look at her. "Is there something else?"

Wendy said, "I almost forgot to tell you… you need to be careful of Team Sakura Country."

"I recently received news that Team Sakura Country is full of ninjutsu masters."

Luo Xiu asked, "How skilled are they?"

Wendy replied, "They used a Secret Technique to alter their ages and cultivation auras to infiltrate the Shi Wu Great Reef. Their purpose is to assassinate contestants from other countries, thereby weakening those nations' Martial Way strength."

A cold light gleamed in Luo Xiu's eyes. Those little devils have a disgusting strategy. To weaken a nation's Martial Way, they target the younger generation.

Wendy continued with a serious expression, "In particular, their main target is the Hua Country team."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi grew anxious. "Gentlemanly Doctor, we have to find our captain and the others quickly! I'm afraid they might really… really run into those disgusting bastards!"

Luo Xiu nodded.

Just then, Wendy took a yellow talisman folded into a triangle from her battle suit pocket and tossed it to Luo Xiu. "This is a Soul Pursuing Talisman, a secret technique my master taught me."

"When I made contact with Team Sakura Country, I secretly placed a child talisman on one of them. With this mother talisman, you can find them."

Luo Xiu stared at the yellow talisman in his hand. The symbols drawn on it with cinnabar felt familiar. This calligraphy really matches Ai Hongye's style, although it's slightly different from the talismans she draws herself. Still, this is enough to confirm that Wendy is indeed Ai Hongye's disciple. Otherwise, the talismans she draws wouldn't have Ai Hongye's flair. Besides, this talisman is a Ghost Valley Supreme Knowledge; Ai Hongye would never have taught it to an outsider.

"I understand. Wendy, Xiao Yi, take care of yourselves and heal up."

"Hey, despicable doctor, do you even know how to use this Soul Pursuing Talisman?"

Luo Xiu simply smiled and said nothing. I learned how to use it back when I was a teenager. I'm just not as proficient as Ai Hongye.

「」

In the vast desert, Luo Xiu set forth once more. Following the guidance of the mother Soul Pursuing Talisman, he found Team Sakura Country a day later. Along the way, he had encountered the corpses of many contestants from other countries, as well as signs of fierce fighting.

These sons of bitches really stop at nothing.

BOOM—!

The sudden explosion of a nearby hill snapped Luo Xiu's thoughts back to the present. His figure flashed as he immediately changed position, finding a new spot to hide.

This aura… It must be close to the Mahayana Realm. It seems Wendy was right; these Sakura Country bastards really did use a Secret Technique to alter their cultivation auras to sneak into the Shi Wu Great Reef. In that case, I can only hide in the shadows and wait for the right moment to ambush them.

Muttering to himself, Luo Xiu saw several figures flashing within the roiling dust.

Suddenly, a weak but indignant shout came from within the smoke: "Xiao Xue, run! Don't worry about me!"

"If this goes on, we'll both die at their hands!"

Luo Xiu's expression lit up. That's Xu Qianqing's voice!

He no longer cared about hiding and dashed forward at full speed.
