CHAPTER 968: CHAPTER 255: SO BEING A KEPT MAN IS THIS SWEET?

"Your Bai Family has been a prestigious noble family for fifty years!"

"Think of how many resources that must be!"

Talking about this, the two of them got excited!

Although neither of them were the type to be greedy, when it comes to improving their abilities, obviously the more resources they have, the faster they can progress.

But Bai Zhi was thinking even further. During this time, she had been staying under Fang Ze’s protection, and the resources for her cultivation were provided by the Si Family or Bai Ling.

She had always felt a bit uneasy in her heart.

After all, although the Si Family belonged to Fang Ze, the Si Family also had many elders and subordinates!

Since Bai Zhi hadn’t married Fang Ze yet, using the Si Family’s resources before marriage, even if Fang Ze had no objections, others might gossip in private. By then, even if she married into the Si Family, she might not be respected by the vassals and subordinates.

But now, with such a substantial dowry...uh, with such substantial assets, she no longer had to worry about that!

Thinking of this, Bai Zhi became confident, raised her head slightly, patted Fang Ze on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for reminding me of this inheritance."

"Don’t worry, once I go back and inherit the family fortune, I’ll settle Bai Ling’s debt myself!"

Speaking of which, Bai Zhi paused and continued, "I remember that night you wanted to borrow 3 billion Lini from Bai Ling?"

"No need to borrow from her anymore! Once I inherit the family assets, I’ll help you pay it off directly. Even if I have to sell everything, sell the territory, I’ll ensure you have enough money!"

When Fang Ze heard Bai Zhi’s generous words, he didn’t feel much touched, only a sense of...the joy of being a kept man.

So...is being a kept man really this enjoyable?

Sister, the doctor says my teeth aren’t good, can I eat a little more?

...

Meanwhile, as Fang Ze and Bai Zhi were being affectionate in the Late-Night Investigation Room.

Under the night.

In Qinyang City and Central City, various streets were filled with shouts, "Quick! Quick! This way!"

"I’m telling you! If any of you fall behind and miss it, when the enemy comes and there’s a city massacre, you can only hope your necks are strong enough!"

"Boo hoo hoo, mom, I want to find mom."

"Ouch, who stepped on my foot?"

"Damn, don’t push, don’t push."

With suppressed chatter, groups of residents were led to a leveled open space, where squads of soldiers were waiting, instructing the incoming civilians to line up and enter in order.

When the open space gradually filled up, someone would stop other civilians from entering and activate the array.

With the activation of the array, a faint golden light flickered, and the group of people in the open space was directly transferred away.

Such a scene was continuously replayed in eight areas of the two cities.

Although each transfer could only move about 5,000 people, since there was enough time, it was estimated that by tomorrow morning, nearly 10 million people from the two cities could be fully transferred away.

At this time, on the top floor of the Central City Government Hall, two people were standing with their hands behind their backs, observing the scene of people being transferred, while whispering,

"This plan is a bit risky."

"If we don’t take risks, do we have a chance of winning?"

"But the enemy may not fall for it."

"With Chairperson Fang Ze’s intelligence, even if they don’t fall for it, we’ll have gains. So this deal is not a loss! At worst, we’ll completely abandon the cities and use the military base for guerrilla tactics. I believe, no matter what, victory will belong to our Human Race!"

With the second person’s resolute words, the moonlight just happened to illuminate his face.

It was none other than the military advisor named Huo Xian.....

...

The next morning.

After getting up, Fang Ze went to visit Bai Ling.

With the Treant Essence sustaining her life, Bai Ling’s injuries hadn’t worsened.

However, she did look quite unwell: at this moment, she was swollen like a balloon, even her watery big eyes seemed to have lost their light.

Fang Ze gently touched her face, feeling a bit heartbroken, eliciting a weak "mhm" sound from Bai Ling.

Fang Ze couldn’t understand what she was saying, but she was probably trying to comfort him?

After checking on Bai Ling, Fang Ze and Bai Zhi had a simple meal before preparing to set off for the Bai Family’s subsidiary city.

However, due to Bai Ling and Bai Zhi’s insufficient ranks, coupled with the current wartime situation, Fang Ze couldn’t take them through the magical teleportation channel.

Fortunately, before setting off, Fang Ze had called the Council in advance to check, confirming that although the Bai Family had dissolved, their noble status, territories, resources, and shares were all intact, just waiting for Bai Zhi to inherit.

This reassured both Fang Ze and Bai Zhi significantly: at least they wouldn’t be making a trip for nothing!

So, in the end, the only decision left for Fang Ze and Bai Zhi was the choice of travel tool.

After studying for over ten minutes, they successfully eliminated vehicles, magical artifacts, sedans, and other tools, opting instead for... Fang Ze.

Yes, after their research, they found that the fastest way to the Bai Family’s subsidiary city was for Fang Ze to carry Bai Ling while Bai Zhi ran alongside him!

Given their speed, they estimated it would take just half a day of running to reach the Bai Family’s subsidiary city, faster than driving.

Mm...of course, this was all just a way to avoid suspicion.
