Chapter 1: Xia Jin: VIA Calaihong

Red Palm Islands, Top of the Storm, Coral Lighthouse.

The Coral Lighthouse is actually located on a small volcanic island in the southwesternmost part of the archipelago, known as Spark Island.

Spark Island is located in the tropical monsoon climate, where the four seasons are pleasant, there is no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, and the scenery is breathtaking. Although it covers an area of only 57 square kilometers and the throughput of the Spark Wharf is not large, it is full of large and small merchant ships and fishing boats throughout the year, and it is bustling from morning to night.

If it weren't for the daily noise, whistles and shouts of the island, the occasional sound of gunfire, artillery and screams would have made it a tourist attraction.

More than eighty percent of the passenger and merchant ships that travel to and from the docks are related to the business of the Udinei family, and with the plantation only eight kilometers from the docks, it is the preferred place for Shakin.

This is not the Udinei family. After Shakin married Kenmula, he asked the prince to give her the lighthouse, and during the honeymoon, Kenmula did not hesitate to put the heads of the original owner, a free family of seven who were no less powerful than the Udinei family, on the lookout of the lighthouse, and finally won the smile of his wife.

Shakin's desire is not a whim, this coral lighthouse is the "three most precious treasures" of the Vilogosa continent It is not only one of the three existing crystal grinding lighthouses, but also the only two-color grinding lighthouse, one side is a penetrating red crystal prism specially used for stormy days, and the other is a white crystal triangular prism for daily use, and it also has the farthest 360-degree all-round range of the entire continent: up to 35 nautical miles, and finally it is also the tallest lighthouse, with a total height of 177 meters at the base and the tower, with a total of six floors and more than 70 rooms.

The lighthouse is made of coral-coloured granite stones, and when the red crystal grinding mirror rotates, it resembles a glowing giant red coral standing above sea level.

Xia Jin's favorite thing to do is to stand on the observation deck outside the crystal lamp hall when the typhoon makes landfall, and she is like a king of the sea standing between heaven and earth in the storm, far more unshakable and powerful than those who live in the castle in power.

All the rooms in the lighthouse are fully utilized, and three of them are full of herb storage rooms, mixing rooms, dosing rooms, and guinea pig rooms, and Xia Jin is an excellent toxicologist and chemist herself, and the poisons she uses are all carefully blended by herself, and they are unique in the market. Like other women who love to watch their loved ones taste their own food, Shakin also enjoys the process of using these various poisons and the symptoms that are gradually developing by the poisoner, and her works seem to be different avatars of her continuation, controlling everything that is seen and unseen.

Xia Jin has always believed that beautiful and stupid women are the definition of the patriarchal world, and if wisdom and beauty can only be one, she must choose the former, because beauty can be obtained by a variety of means by innate or acquired, while wisdom is innate and cannot be forced.

God is so unfair, beautiful and stupid women and women who are neither so beautiful nor stupid occupy ninety percent, and of the remaining one, I am afraid that there is not even half of the absolutely beautiful and not stupid ones, Xia Jin undoubtedly belongs to this kind of heavenly things.

With long black hair, light blue deep phoenix eyes, a straight nose, well-defined and thin lips, beautiful and elastic chestnut skin, and a well-proportioned and explosive healthy body, there are almost no other words to describe the feeling that Xia Jin brings to people except for extreme sexiness.

Shakin's charm does not come from scratching her head or showing her breasts, on the contrary, she loves to wear a well-cut plain black bodycon dress, which she does not need with a fishtail, a low neckline, lace, diamonds, etc., because she herself is the deadliest ornament. Most women may pretend to be stupid in order to survive in the patriarchal world, but for Xia Jin, her existence tells people that a truly intelligent woman does not need to hide her cleverness, because she always has a way to break the world and turn disadvantages into advantages.

There's nothing sexier than being smart itself.

On a gloomy morning at the end of December, Xia Jin sat in a laboratory on the fifth floor of the lighthouse, which was also where she met guests.

Her desk was littered with bottles, jars, and glassware, and torn envelopes scattered haphazardly in front of a row of reagent bottles, Xia Jin's face became gloomy as she stared at a text message in her hand.

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of footsteps, followed by a voice that was full of satisfaction, "Madam, when will the cable in this place be installed?"

Xia Jin narrowed her eyes and stared at the door, and the moment the door was opened, she immediately changed into the most touching and bright smile in the world.

"The storm at the docks was rough today, and I thought you weren't coming, Quincy. ”

"Tsk, you've always underestimated me, ma'am," it was a young man with uninhibited dark brown shawl curls, about the same age as Xia Jin, or at most a year or two older, and a relatively handsome appearance, but that smug look and pretentious conversation always made one want to squash his face full of hateful smiles, "I'll let you treat me one day," Quincy detoured behind Xia Jin's back, and pressed her lips close to her ear and exhaled softly, "impress me—"

Xia Jin stood up suddenly, and Quincy hurriedly dodged back, but when he saw the charming smile on her face, he went from momentary alertness to momentary loss of soul.

"Quincy, you know that I have always valued you," said Shakin, "you are my husband's most trusted assistant, and he depends on you, so I depend on you," she sighed bitterly, "why do you say such things that I almost think that you see me as a powerful and selfish woman?"

"Are you still a pure and selfless angel?" said Quincy, like a poppy-stricken peak, and couldn't help but touch the tip of her nose to her seductively scented hair, "You have bewitched the Prince, and the other idiots of the Udinei family, but you don't want to confuse me, for I know what kind of person you are from the first time I see you." ”

"But you still can't live without me," Xia Jin smiled lightly, his pale blue phoenix eyes closed and slanted, this expression could make everyone go crazy in an instant, "As long as you haven't seen me for more than three days, you can't help but come to the lighthouse to find me, won't you?"

Quincy was really crazy, one second he wanted to chop her up, the next he wanted to swallow her.

He jerked his hand over her—

"Smack!"

Quincy's whole body was slammed, and the test tube, measuring cup, Erlenmeyer flask, etc., were crushed by him, and the table was full of them, and he raised his head suddenly, and the green tendons bulged out of his neck and began to roar.

"You're a-ah!!"

"What am I, Quincy-" Shakin pressed his left elbow against the nape of Quincy's neck and grabbed his long forehead with his right hand, "Do you want to finish what you just said now?"

"No, no—" He blushed and his throat clicked.

"Do you want to call me a bitch? no, no one in this world can describe me except my husband, and don't forget that I am Madame Udeni, the wife of your boss," Shakin's gentle voice did not change at all, the seductive smile before disappeared, and her expression was instantly cruel, "and you are just a deputy, so you are working for me; if you want me to impress, show some manly appearance, and do things beautifully before coming to see me, otherwise, I promise you—this," Shakin twisted a broken round-bottomed flask, "This is what happened to the thing in your crotch—got it?"

"Ahem, ahem, understood······"

"What? I can't hear—" Shakin approached his mouth with an innocent expression, "Did you just say you're a bastard who didn't eat breakfast?"

"I—I understand! Quincy raised her voice with difficulty.

Xia Jin shook his head and looked at Quincy's embarrassed appearance, with an almost pitiful smile on his face, as if to say that you still want to be the boss lady just like you, this time your subordinates really can't take it.

She slowly pulled out a long glass syringe from under the table, filled with yellowish liquid, and Quincy saw that her eyes were straight, and she kicked her legs desperately to break free, but when the terrifying needle pierced deep into his neck, his tense muscles suddenly relaxed, and his stiff neck hung down, and the left side of his face was honestly attached to the sharp glass shards on the table.

Xia Jin sat back in the swivel chair, and when she threw the empty needle with a thud, she said lightly, "This is a small punishment for you, as long as you don't make today's mistakes again, and listen to me obediently, I won't make your life too sad, otherwise the next dose will be tripled......" She looked up, a bright smile on her face again, "Got it?"

"Understood. Quincy said submissively.

"What are you looking for me today?"

"My people have received a letter from VIAPH. Quincy pulled a thick envelope out of his pocket and placed it on Shakin's desk.

She tore open the envelope and pulled out a piece of parchment from inside—

"If, within three days from the time of delivery of this letter, the three hostages are not returned unharmed to our warship at the time and place specified in the letter, the recipient and all his henchmen and their nests will be devastated by the multinational coalition. ”

The next line is the exact time and place of the hostage, and the letter is not signed or dated at the end, but it bears the lion and snake coat of arms that no one can mistake.

"Where did you get this letter?" asked Shakin.

"The three men sent by Via Heycap captured one of my men in the Philip Bay," Quincy said, "and he was there to contact a batch of morphine. They didn't know where they came from, so they caught him, knocked him unconscious, unloaded him with an arm and a leg, and threw him back on the ship. When the people on board checked to see if he was still alive, they found him carrying the letter on his chest. ”

"Who told you to go to Scarlet Bay to buy morphine?" Xia Jinfeng's eyes were sharp, "Didn't I warn you to go around everything that Weisheng Kai has?"

"Because there's no time," Quincy said in a low voice, "and the goods over there are cheaper······

"Bang-"

A glass tube flew over and smashed on Quincy's head, and blood instantly flowed down his forehead, and he knew that he was wrong, so he didn't say a word.

"Look at this, idiot," Shakin tossed a ball of paper in Quincy's face, "Look how much trouble you and your stupid asses have gotten me into!"

He picked up the paper ball and opened it tremblingly to look at it.

"He, they ······" Quincy said horrifiedly, "They······ raped the bride-in-waiting of Remassa's fiancée?——"

"Yes, that woman called Hidden Eyebrows!" Xia Jin smiled meaningfully, "Remassa loves her so much, he wants me to give him an explanation," her breathtaking eyes rolled, and the sarcastic words in her mouth did not match the innocent expression on her face at all, and her tone was soft and mournful like that of a lovelorn woman, "How can I explain it? We haven't fought the Morris family for almost three years, and do you know how many Liberty families have defected to their side in the past three years?

"Oh my God······" Quincy trembled with fear.

"Get out!" Xia Jin stood up, his face instantly changed to a vicious and vicious expression, and his coral-like ruddy and charming lips barely moved, "Don't let me see your stupid face again until I finish what I told you!"

Quincy crawled out on the ground.

Xia Jin leaned on the edge of the window, staring through the glass at his back as he fled into the wilderness, his lips curled with satisfaction, and his charming smile was like the sweetness of a lover in love when he saw his lover leave.

"If you want to impress me, I'm afraid it won't be possible when you're alive. ”
