One person: After starting with the academic atmosphere, I'll take down Xia He!

Zhao Fangxu was also in a bind. Ever since Ma Long's Salvation Palace was established, there had been constant troubles in the world of supernatural beings.

I just handed Feng Baobao over to him a while ago, and today, for some reason, he's gotten involved with Chen Duo again.

Zhao Fangxu is now in a difficult situation; let's see how Ma Long resolves this.

Chairman Zhao!

You know the situation better than I do!

What has the company done for Chen Duo over the years? Is it truly without any regrets?

Is there really a fundamental difference between him and the legendary Medicine Immortal of yesteryear?

If these things get out, the company will probably face a media storm!

'Heh, you underestimate the company and the power!'

Tell me what you want to do!

Does this mean they're going to take over Chen Duo's ownership?

Is putting her in that little cage you made with good intentions really for her own good?

Chen Duo is pitiful. She is different from others, and we can't truly understand her, but we must never let her harm our society.

This is my bottom line!

Zhao Fangxu stated his bottom line, also hinting at a message to Ma Long: 'As long as you can guarantee that Chen Duo won't pose a threat to society, you can have her.'

In comparison, Chen Duo's allure is far less than Feng Baobao's.

"I want to gain ownership of her?"

Hahaha!

Chairman Zhao, you underestimate me!

Ma Long walked over to Chen Duo and put his arm around her shoulder: "Come here, Duo Duo!"

"Why don't you talk to the chairman of this company and tell him your demands?"

"Hum!"

I don't want to stay at the company anymore.

That's it!

What's the reason?

No reason is needed!

She wants to leave, what right do you have to stop her?

Ma Long retorted, and Zhao Fangxu remained silent for a moment.

'Alright, I won't ask for the reason, but how do we deal with her potential Gu poison?'

"Easy!"

None of you understand Chen Duo; you're exploiting her poor communication skills to manipulate her.

"Come on, Duoduo, as long as you promise not to use poison to harm innocent people, they have no reason to restrict you!"

"Hmm, I never intended to take revenge on society."

I just don't want to stay at the company anymore.

"Chairman Zhao, did you hear that?!"

If you're still not reassured, I can give you another guarantee.

Chen Duo will be with me for a long time to come. I will protect her and prevent her from causing trouble!

Ma Long added fuel to the fire, and at this point, Zhao Fangxu had no reason to refuse.

In fact, given the chairman's personality, even if he acts ruthlessly and unreasonably...

Ma Long was helpless, but Zhao Fangxu always showed great tolerance towards him.

'All right!

Ma Long, as you wish, you may take Chen Duo with you.

Remember your promise to me, remember your original intention!

"Hehe, don't worry, Chairman Zhao!"

I'm still the same boy I always was!

"It's good for young people to have drive, but they need to be careful not to go too far!"

"Know!

Goodbye!

After Ma Long finished speaking, he ignored what Zhao Fangxu was saying next.

"The character 'separation' will ignite a wildfire!"

He tossed the walkie-talkie high into the air, unleashed his inner energy, and instantly transformed it into a fiery phoenix that attacked the walkie-talkie in mid-air.

"boom!"

The smoke dissipated in an instant, and he was in a great mood.

Only then did they notice that Liao Zhong and the others were still tied up on the ground.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about you guys."

What are you going to do?

Take Chen Duo away, but don't hurt us!

They already knew that Ma Long had reached an agreement with the company headquarters, so naturally they wouldn't stop him anymore.

Although Liao Zhong knew what had happened, he was stunned by the Heart-Cleansing Mantra and couldn't speak.

Ma Long chuckled and waved his hand again, releasing the men from their restraints.

Liao Zhong slowly got up from the ground. Now that Chen Duo was out of danger, he was no longer as excited as he had been at the beginning.

"Duo'er, congratulations! You're finally free!"

Liao Zhong looked aggrieved and couldn't stop sobbing.

"Hmm, Uncle Liao, you don't understand me at all!"

What I've never wanted is freedom.

Chen Duo looked helpless, but as she looked at this man who was like an old father to her, a trace of humanity also flashed through her heart.

Liao Zhong looked up, feeling wronged, his eyes filled with confusion. He didn't understand what Chen Duo meant. Had all his efforts been in vain?

"Old Liao!"

"That must be hard on you. Let me explain it to you!"

Seeing that Chen Duo didn't like to explain, Ma Long spoke up for her.

"You've been helping her fight for a normal life, and that's not wrong."

But even if she can return to an ordinary life, she will never have the mindset and emotions of an ordinary person like us, because that is determined by her experiences.

All she ever wanted was to be treated with equal respect, to have her choices respected!

Actually, it's very easy to get along with her. Don't see her as an oddball. You can joke around and tease her. She's just an ordinary Chen Duo.

Over time, they will blend in.

......"

After Ma Long finished speaking, Liao Zhong seemed to be thinking about something, and then looked him up and down.

Seeing Ma Long made me a little uneasy.

"Hmm, what you said seems to be right."

Well, thankfully the matter is resolved, and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

"I should thank you, really."

Liao Zhong's change of attitude dispelled the gloom of the day.

"By the way, Malone, I must say I admire you."

They might even envy you or be jealous of you!

Outstanding strength, superior intelligence, unparalleled ability, and exceptional appearance!

From any angle, you are flawless!

But you and Chen Duo can't be together!

The primal poison within her is something no one can withstand!

Liao Zhong suddenly spoke seriously, seemingly regretting that he had missed out on a good son-in-law.

"Uh...this!"

Lao Liao, you're overthinking it. I really didn't have any such thoughts.

You can ask around and find out what kind of person I am, I…

Ma Long trailed off halfway through his sentence, admitting that while he was a decent person, he might make some minor mistakes when it came to women.

He then spoke of his confidence in curing Chen Duo's Gu poison and his certainty in overcoming the original Gu poison.

Liao Zhong glanced at her with disdain and said, "You still say you have no other intentions? What was the point of all that trouble you went to to cure her Gu poison?"

"Ouch!

"Can't I help others?"

……

After chatting with Liao Zhong for a few minutes, Ma Long and Chen Duo began their journey home.

Returning to Biyou Village, the two traveled the route with ease and moved at a considerable speed.

"Duoduo, if we go back to the village and Baobao asks me why I didn't invite her when I went out, please remember to explain it to me."

Ma Long's heart skipped a beat. He felt that sneaking out was not a good thing. Although Bao Bao was not as good as Xia He, she still made him a little scared.

"Hum, how do you explain that?"

You came out without telling them.

Are you trying to get me to lie for you?

Uh!

Malone suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.

Feeling completely flustered, she awkwardly pursed her lips and asked, "Would you be willing to lie for me?"

"I don't want to!"

Especially deceiving Bao'er!

Chen Duo resolutely refused without the slightest hesitation.

It's over, it's all over.

Malone realized he had invited another god back and inwardly groaned.

It looks like I'm in for a tough time in the future!
