Pretending To Be A Boss

Tang Xian once again felt that a woman's intuition could sometimes be classified as a superpower at certain times.

His acting and mental endurance were undergoing a tremendous test.

Akasi felt it was a moment of life and death, but the hardest time had not yet come.

He was somewhat nervous.

Qiao Shanshan and Dong Ran were somewhat confused, as the conversation between Tang Xian and Qing JiuYu seemed abrupt to them.

After Dong Ran's first encounter with Li Xiaoyu, the task Li Xiaoyu had entrusted her with to surveil Tang Xian was canceled.

The reason was that Dong Ran was easily swayed, which wasn't a matter of being disloyal to the Li family, but rather that she was too easily led by the nose by Tang Xian.

Nevertheless, Dong Ran still agreed to help the second young miss keep an eye on whether Tang Xian had other women outside. At the same time, she would also find an appropriate opportunity to inquire about the object of Tang Xian's affections during his school days.

"The past few days? Let me think, I saw a fascinating beast migration in the south, a spectacular sight, do you know the reason for the beast migration?"

Tang Xian showed a very interested expression, Qing JiuYu shook her head, her flirtatiousness unabated, but her smile was somewhat indescribable.

"You're changing the subject."

"Not at all, I just find this topic more interesting. After all, the Fox Tribe is at a disadvantage now, and the vast areas of the Blood Barren Plains, Waning Time Valley, and White Bone Mountain Range are all vacant. I do not know where the beast migration has gone, but now these places lack a master."

Tang Xian continued:

"The weather too far south is not suitable for the Nvwa Snake, sometimes retreating can lead to a boundless horizon. In the upcoming negotiation, you can actually make concessions, because making concessions might turn out to be even better."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Being caught changing the subject was no big deal; it was amateur behavior to awkwardly laugh and switch back to the topic at hand.

One must be firm and continue changing the subject and delve deeper into the new topic.

Qing JiuYu had always thought Tang Xian was quite wise, even smarter than the long-eared ancient apes of the Myriad Beasts Court. When it came to tribal issues, her mind was really pulled back to the conversation.

Today was for negotiation.

Qing JiuYu nodded her head and said:

"But I always feel like we are losing."

"Losing is not shameful."

"Why?

"Even if the Nvwa Snake Clan had a few more White Phosphorus Serpent Demons, they wouldn't compare to a nine-tailed fox demon that the Fox Tribe might give birth to in the future. Going to fight when you can't win is the unwise decision, especially when the Fox Tribe's future holds the potential for greater things."

Tang Xian was referring to Tang Xiaojiu.

No matter why Tang Xiaojiu was being shunned by these foxes, one day, she would become one of the most powerful beings in the world.

If a Fox Tribe had two Calamity-level boss creatures, the Snake Clan would naturally find it extremely difficult to resist.

Qing JiuYu nodded, thinking Tang Xian made a lot of sense.

"However, during the conversation, you cannot lose in presence, even though the leaders of both sides probably know the outcome of the negotiations, whether the Snake Clan has any cards up their sleeves, what the Fox Tribe's cards are, no one is sure. Therefore, in some areas, even if you could concede, you need to pretend to be strong."

Qing JiuYu was very smart, and with just a hint from Tang Xian, she understood the implications.

Dong Ran and Qiao Shanshan were not stupid, but neither of the two girls had a tragic past like Akasi, nor had they had experiences as bizarre as Tang Xian's.

Their imagination was ultimately bound by common sense.

Words like Fox Tribe, Snake Tribe, and leader, when spoken by two human beings, all sounded half-understood.

Even at this moment, they hadn't realized the identity of the woman before them.

Both were merely amazed at how well-behaved these foxes seemed.

Dong Ran could at least comfort herself a bit; if Tang, a big brother figure, could capture the heart of someone like the second young miss, the other women he knew were likely also significant figures.

If Akasi, the number one hunter, was part of the team, then perhaps this stunningly beautiful woman was also an important person.

After some thought, Tang Xian said weakly:

"I'm a bit tired, so I will take my companions and leave first. The negotiation is nothing more than a matter of giving and taking and overreaching. As for how to grasp the scale in between, you figure it out yourself. You're such a smart woman, there shouldn't be any problem."

Qing JiuYu's beautiful eyes shifted as she smiled and said:

"You're quite the sweet talker. I like people like you, clever and pleasant to listen to. That Bai Mansheng little demon is also a beauty, you sure you don't want to stay and have a look?"

Tang Xian immediately realized this was a trap, another probing statement.

"No thanks, women all look about the same to me."

Qiao Shanshan frowned and thought to herself that many of those diagnosed with face blindness were indeed notorious womanizers.

For example, a certain entrepreneur from a thousand years ago was infamous for not recognizing his own wife's beauty.

Tang Xian was really a scumbag!

But Qing JiuYu was persistent because a dilemma that had been troubling her might finally be resolved by someone.

Seeing that Tang Xian's gaze did not carry a hint of lust, Qing JiuYu felt very comfortable.

So, some questions were particularly suitable to ask Tang Xian. Because he was objective.

"How about this, you rest for a while in the shade behind the pointing locust tree, not too far away. If something really happens later on, it will be easy for me to find you immediately."

When such a woman proposes a compromise, it is often the final declaration.

Tang Xian couldn't be bothered to decline further, as further refusal would seem like hiding something emblematic of guilt.

"Alright."

He then led his companions to a spot in the shade, from where they could hear the negotiations between the leaders of the two tribes.

But without being exposed to view.

Tang Xian felt today was probably not going to be very peaceful.
