Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1558 Testing the Waters

Ye Qing looked at the boy, his expression shifting slightly. The boy's eyes were extremely bright, staring longingly at the bag of spicy strips in Ye Qing's hand, his throat bobbing.

He was dressed in white, and it was clear that he was one of the employers.

"Want some?" Ye Qing asked.

"Can I?" The little boy quickly jumped in front of Ye Qing, then wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and asked.

Ye Qing handed him the spicy strips, and he happily took them, took one out, and put it in his mouth just like Ye Qing did.

No child can escape the taste of spicy strips.

The little boy in front of me clearly didn't eat spicy food much; he only took a bite, and soon after, he made a series of noises.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

He kept making that sound, but his eyes lit up as he said, "It's so delicious!"

Ye Qing looked at him with a smile and asked, "Little friend, what are you going to do on Qiuya Star?"

"I don't know!" the little boy said.

"Mi Xiu!" Just then, a voice rang out from afar, "What are you doing there!"

"I'll ask him for some food!" the little boy said quickly.

At that moment, a woman rushed over, grabbed the little boy, and slapped the spicy snack in his hand to the ground. She then glared at him and said, "How dare you give him such garbage!"

Ye Qing raised an eyebrow at the woman, then said calmly, "We're eating here. He wanted some, so I gave it to him! If you don't want him to eat, then mind your own business. If you can't, don't blame us!"

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, the woman's pupils suddenly contracted, and she exclaimed, "What did you say? How dare you speak to me like that?"

Beside them, Yan Song and Fu Sang's expressions shifted slightly. They exchanged a glance and simultaneously prepared to make their move.

In their view, Ye Qing was using this as an excuse to make trouble, perhaps as an opportunity to escape from here.

"So what!" Ye Qing said, pouting.

"You're asking for death!" The woman's eyes flashed with rage. She stared intently at Ye Qing, and at the same time, she raised her hand, about to slap Ye Qing!

"Stop!" Just then, a delicate shout rang out.

At the same time, a figure appeared in front of Ye Qing and the others. She looked at the three of them sitting on the ground, then glanced at the child, pinched his cheek, and then looked at the woman and said, "What's going on!"

As she spoke, she picked up her pipe and took a drag of smoke into her mouth!

Then he exhaled a cloud of smoke!

It was that tall woman from before!

"This person has offended me!" the woman holding the child said, pointing at Ye Qing.

"I offended you?" Ye Qing said calmly, "Not to mention, your child asked me for food, and I gave it to him. You then casually knocked the food away from him. Isn't that disrespectful? You knocked it away, and you even called him trash? When I said you couldn't control your child, that was an offense!"

"Besides!" Ye Qing said, "You interpret this as an offense, so what if I am offended? I am your employee, not your slave. Your condescending attitude won't work on me!"

Hearing Ye Qing's words, the woman looked at him with interest and said, "Interesting little fellow, do you know what our strength is?"

"So what?" Ye Qing asked. "To be honest, I'm really unhappy about what this woman said, and I don't want to do this anymore."

The tall woman looked at Ye Qing with great interest and said, "Our people should have told you what the consequences would be if you dared to escape after we came up here."

"This isn't about me wanting to run away!" Ye Qing said. "She disrespected me first! Either make him apologize to me, or let me leave! As for..."

At this point, Ye Qing grinned at the woman and said, "If you want to kill me, you can try. Let these people who came with you know that we are not employees, but slaves in your eyes. Let's see what they think!"

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, the tall woman frowned, and after a moment, she looked at the other woman and said, "Apologize!"

"Sir, he..." The woman holding the child's expression changed slightly, but seeing the tall woman's expression, he gritted his teeth and said to Ye Qing, "I'm sorry, I was too anxious about the child just now, so I spoke rudely. I hope you don't mind!"

The tall woman looked at Ye Qing and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

"Almost!" Ye Qing said.

"What's your name?" the woman asked, looking at Ye Qing.

“Su Liuyun!” Ye Qing said.

"Alright, I'll remember your name. You do have quite a bit of arrogance!" the tall woman said, turning around and walking away into the distance.

The woman holding the child glanced at Ye Qing, then turned and walked away.

Once they were far away, Ye Qing thought to himself, "What a pity!"

Yan Song said, "Ye Qing, aren't you being a bit too impulsive? What if he really makes a move?"

"Ye Qing is probably testing the waters!" Fusang said.

Ye Qing nodded and said, "I know who they are now!"

"Hmm?" Yan Song and Fusang's expressions shifted. "You know their identities now?"

“Yes, when that woman addressed the child earlier, she called him Mi Xiu. If nothing unexpected happens, these people are very likely from the mysterious Mi clan in the universe!” Ye Qing said.

"The Mi clan, the group of people you mentioned before, the ones you encountered in the Taixi Mountains?" Yan Song asked curiously.

"Most likely!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "I was indeed a little annoyed just now, which is why I confronted that woman. Of course, there was also a test involved. These people certainly acted arrogantly. Besides, I also wanted to see if they would really tell us to get lost!"

“However, his choice was to make the other party apologize to me. It seems that they are also worried about something, or rather, that none of the people who came here can be missing. In this case, the probability of it being a sacrifice is higher!” Ye Qing said, “In any case, we need to consider the problem of getting away on the way there.”
