The Trouble Zhu Yindong Couldn't Avoid

Whenever Lin Yifei lost her temper and let her presence fill the room, she could be pretty intimidating.

The temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.

Most of the women who had gathered around had actually come to thank them. But when Lin Yifei snapped at them, the fear ingrained by years of abuse took over. Their faces changed at once, and they scattered like startled birds and beasts.

Only after every last woman had left did Lin Yifei turn to Jiang Yue with a cheeky, self-congratulatory grin. "Little Jiang, see? Being the bad guy isn't so hard, is it?"

Jiang Yue rubbed his nose. "So I should thank you, then?"

"Of course! I just solved a huge headache for you." Lin Yifei looked thoroughly pleased with herself.

Jiang Yue smiled and said no more.

Ding Lei trusted Jiang Yue completely, so she accepted it without hesitation.

He continued directing the White Bones Monsters, ordering them to haul away every last brick and broken tile from the ruins.

Clearing away a building like this would have been exhausting work in the Sunny Era if done by hand, even with machinery. But these thousands of White Bones Monsters were free labor, and every one of them was astonishingly strong.

They cleared the ruins with incredible speed, soon leveling the site into a flat expanse.
