"Security guard?"
Min Ziqiong was stunned.
She didn't understand how her father had formed such a cognition, thinking that Ying Chen was a villa security guard.
She was about to explain, but then she thought: If her parents really believed Ying Chen was a security guard, would they stop bothering him?
After all, a mere security guard wouldn't offer much benefit. People like her parents, who enjoyed associating with the powerful, wouldn't "willingly degrade themselves" by interacting much with a low-level security guard.
Ying Chen, on the other hand, would gain some peace.
As for the supposed kidnapping, letting Min Ziqing make a video call to explain would suffice.
With this in mind, Min Ziqiong stopped the words that were about to escape her lips and chose to remain silent.
"Daughter, tell me about the villa owner. What's his identity? Don't misunderstand, Dad is just purely curious. After all, no one in the entire Jianghai knows, and if I'm the first to know, I'll have something to brag about with my old buddies."
At this moment, Min Ziqiong's father asked in a low voice.
Min Ziqiong sighed helplessly, knowing that her father would not give up without an answer, so she could only reply ambiguously, "I'm not too sure about the villa owner's identity. I only know one thing: this villa was bought from someone else. The previous owner of the villa was surnamed Yan and came from Mingzhu."
"Surname Yan? From Mingzhu?" Min Ziqiong's father fell into thought upon hearing this.
After a moment, he slapped his thigh in realization, "Damn it, could it be Yan Yang?"
Min Ziqiong said nothing.
But Min Ziqiong's father immediately understood, "It's really him! He's a real big shot! Even Old Hu wouldn't dare to put on airs in front of him! I was worried we had offended Old Hu, that he wouldn't outwardly blame us but would find an opportunity to deal with us sooner or later. Now it's great, with such a powerful figure protecting us, even if Old Hu turns hostile, we won't be afraid!"
Min Ziqiong shook her head helplessly.
Old Hu turning hostile?
She didn't know about the distant future, but it was absolutely impossible in the near future!
Because Ying Chen had completely got Old Hu under his thumb!
Old Hu's condition couldn't be completely cured within three months; it could only be prolonged. To cure it and save his life, he could only continue to curry favor with Ying Chen!
Where would Old Hu get the nerve to turn hostile?
"Dad, you can say whatever you want to me, but you absolutely must not say these things anywhere else! Otherwise, if they reach the ears of Old Hu or Old Yan, neither of them will be happy!"
Min Ziqiong's father quickly nodded, "I understand, I understand. You've finally latched onto a powerful figure, how could I sabotage you? Don't worry, I absolutely won't reveal a single word to the outside world!"
However, Min Ziqiong's father, who had just vowed not to reveal a word, immediately turned his head to look at Min Ziqiong's mother, who was still unconscious in the back seat.
"Old woman, did you hear that? Our daughter has succeeded! She even knows someone as influential as Yan Yang! Didn't you always think our daughter was no good? Even when the family company she managed was flourishing, you always belittled her. Do you still think she's no good now?"
"If you could wake up right now, your first words would probably be, 'My good daughter,' wouldn't they?"
Obviously, Min Ziqiong's father knew his wife very well and had predicted her reaction in advance.
Min Ziqiong's mother's middle finger twitched, it was unclear whether she was agreeing or cursing.
Finally, the car arrived at the Min family residence.
Father and daughter carried Min Ziqiong's mother into the house and made an appointment with a family doctor for an examination.
After confirming that she was physically fine and only needed to sleep for a while, Min Ziqiong returned to the Shouyang Mountain villa.
By this time, it was already getting dark.
Min Ziqiong had expected Ying Chen to be angry and had prepared to apologize.
To her surprise, Ying Chen merely glanced at her calmly, asked her to put the purchased items in the backyard, and instructed her not to leave her room after nightfall. He didn't say anything else.
Min Ziqiong was very surprised as to why she couldn't leave her room, but she still agreed.
It wasn't until she entered the backyard that Min Ziqiong was greatly startled.
She almost dropped everything she was holding!
In the backyard, a giant snake, tens of meters long, was coiled up!
The snake was already dead, only its skeleton remained.
But precisely because of this, the giant snake appeared even more ferocious and terrifying!
The bone spurs like giant swords, the dense and sharp teeth, the hollow and deep eye sockets, were all presented to Min Ziqiong without reservation, causing her immense visual shock!
It took Min Ziqiong a good few minutes to recover.
With a sense of fear, she placed the props Ying Chen needed on the stone table in the backyard and tiptoed away.
It was as if the snake skeleton still possessed life and would awaken if she disturbed it.
After doing this, Min Ziqiong had intended to ask Ying Chen what he wanted to eat for dinner so she could cook.
But now she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Taking Nannan with her, she returned to her room, closed the door, and became isolated from the outside world.
Even if the heavens and earth were to turn upside down outside, she vowed not to come out.
Soon, it was the middle of the night.
At this time, a bright moon hung high in the sky, and the sea below seemed to be stimulated, roaring wildly.
Nine dragon-shaped waves surged and rushed along the sea surface, with spray reaching the height of six or seven stories!
Anyone who witnessed this scene felt an inexplicable shiver.
Because in the many years Shouyang Mountain had existed, such huge waves had never appeared!
Even the giant waves in the deep sea were only twenty-something meters high!
Yet, this small body of water in Shouyang Mountain was almost comparable to the deep sea!
The nine dragon-shaped waves roared continuously, surging towards the summit of Shouyang Mountain, as if preparing to climb the mountain and impact something on the summit!
At this moment, in the backyard of the villa on the mountain top.
Ying Chen stood before the skeleton of the Xuan Yin Hook Serpent, his expression calm.
This was in stark contrast to the clamorous winds and waves outside.
Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the Xuan Yin Hook Serpent's skeleton was emitting faint rays of light.
It seemed to be echoing the nine surging dragon-shaped waves.
It was as if the nine dragon-shaped waves had found their kin and were attempting to awaken this already dead Xuan Yin Hook Serpent!
At the same time, a large amount of moonlight descended from the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, wisps by wisps, seeping into the skeleton of the Xuan Yin Hook Serpent.
Around the Xuan Yin Hook Serpent, complex and bizarre patterns were etched.
It was precisely these patterns that had triggered the frantic surge of the nine dragon-shaped waves and the descent of moonlight from the night sky!
Watching the increasingly bright glow on the snake's bones, Ying Chen nodded with satisfaction.
"The most difficult part of the 'Dutian Qilu Formation' is finding a magical artifact that can serve as a formation stone. And this snake skeleton perfectly solved this problem."
"Heaven's killing intent manifests, dragons and snakes rise from the land;
Man's killing intent manifests, heaven and earth are overturned!"
"Once this formation is complete, it is equivalent to stealing life from heaven! Heaven's killing intent will be transformed into man's killing intent!"
"Man borrowing heavenly power will naturally lead to accelerated cultivation and being unstoppable!"
