Chapter 1658: An Jiuyue’s Inaction
“Uh.”
Su Tang was truly choking.
Feeding so many poisonous snakes, how much demonic beast meat would that require? They would have to kill even more, right?
Besides, is the real problem whether or not the snakes are fed? Even if the snakes were fed, they had lived on Jade Cloud Mountain for years and had developed spiritual intelligence.
If they wanted to harvest the Cold Soul Flower Core at the peak, they would have to see whether the snakes agreed to it or not, right?
“Forget it, let’s think of another solution. The meat should be ready, let’s go have our meal first,” he shook his head, saying helplessly.
They would think of a solution after filling their bellies. There would always be a way. Perhaps, after they had eaten, they could come up with a good idea. He wondered whether King Qian and the Princess Consort had thought of any solutions.
As the two mulled over this, they made their way back. Initially, they wanted to ask Qian Jiyun and his partner first, but who knew, upon their return, they would see Gu Qingyu, that maliciously scheming woman, sitting alone amidst the guards, chatting away with them eagerly.
Seeing this, Su Tang’s face turned pitch black, and he felt the urge to slap those guards to death.

Especially after hearing those guards flattering Gu Qingyu, gossiping about Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue, speaking nastier than the next.
Did they think that Qian Jiyun and his wife couldn’t hear them? It wasn’t very far away, and they were powerful individuals. How could they possibly not hear?
“Hey, you handle it yourself.”
Zhan Beiye chuckled lightly, patted Su Tang’s chest, and after speaking, he headed over to Qian Jiyun.
Su Tang took a deep breath and strode toward those fools.
“Big Brother Su, the demonic beast meat is ready. This piece is for you, you…” Gu Qingyu saw him coming and immediately greeted him with a smile.
She knew that these people had to listen to Su Tang, so pulling him into her camp was the best strategy.
Although she didn’t think he would show her any kindness, as the saying goes, one does not slap a smiling face, right? As long as she was thick-skinned enough, she could surely win these people over.
With a beaming smile, she handed the roasted meat in her hand to Su Tang.
“Have you nothing better to do?”
Su Tang didn’t bother with the pretentious Gu Qingyu and his cold eyes gazed at the guards.
“All of you with so much energy, why not go and kill more demonic beasts and find the Cold Soul Flower Core for your master? You can’t think to do a single important task, and yet have the face to chat here?
What, you’re very close to her? Just because she gives you a smile, you lose all sense of direction, daring to gossip about the friends of your master?”
“Leader Su, we didn’t…”
“Big Brother Su, we didn’t say anything, everything we said was true,” the guards stammered with embarrassed looks, trying to deny it, but then they heard Gu Qingyu’s voice beside them. She didn’t think she was simply gossiping—what they had said was the absolute truth.
An Jiuyue, on the way, except for helping out once, had not exerted any effort at other times; it was they who had cleared the way for her, right?
Was it so that An Jiuyue could be inactive, yet they were not allowed to speak of it?
“Who do you think you are to spread rumors and cause trouble in front of me?” Su Tang’s sharp gaze swept towards Gu Qingyu, his voice dark and questioning.
“What the Princess Consort intends to do is our business, and none of yours. You are someone who could only come to the Zhedu Sea Area by taking advantage of us, and you still have the face to criticize the Princess Consort?
Who do you think you are? Don’t forget, without us, you would have died hundreds of times over in the Zhedu Sea Area.”
