# Chapter 704: Careful, I'll Sue You for Defamation
Jiangnan pulled the Evil-Averting Hat out of the exquisite wooden box and knocked off the dirt clumps stuck to it!
His face was mysterious: "See that? The color on this hat?"
Hans and the others: (٥≖_≖)
We're not blind!
No matter from what angle you look at it or analyze it, there's no changing the fact that this is a green hat!
Jiangnan's expression turned serious: "This is green — the sacred color, full of vitality, constantly interpreting the true meaning of life!"
"The Abyss is cold and dark, and now it's shrouded by the shadow of the Seven Deadly Sins' curse. What does this touch of green represent? It represents vitality and hope!"
"As the saying goes, 'If you want life to go smoothly, you've got to wear a little green on your head.' I think this current situation is the most perfect interpretation, right?"
Hans and the others swallowed hard. That actually sounded kind of reasonable?
For a moment, they didn't seem to hate green as much!
But Ling Feng and the others were about to burst from holding back their laughter!
As expected of the Southern God, who started out as a street vendor — when it comes to fooling people and hawking products, one word: incredible!
A broken green hat dug up from who knows where, and he managed to elevate it to the level of life itself?
What a load of nonsense!
At this moment, Tao Xinyi was itching to correct him. Her lecturing instincts kicked in!
Hey hey hey, that's not what the saying means!
How can you go around leading people astray like this?
Maybe Little Nan really did need her to give him some tutoring tonight.
Hans's heart was in his throat: "How the hell does this thing work? Just tell me!"
Jiangnan's expression turned solemn: "When you put on the Evil-Averting Hat, you have to find a place with no one around, just you alone!"
"If someone sees you, the Original Sin Punishment might come knocking on your door immediately, because the punishment definitely doesn't want something like the Evil-Averting Hat to exist!"
"Every person is an eye of the Original Sin Punishment!"
Hans nodded seriously, committing it to memory. He really couldn't take a fourth time!
"Then what do I need to do?"
Jiangnan said solemnly: "You need to wear the Evil-Averting Hat for a full hour!"
"During that hour, the treasure will take effect. It will absorb the bad luck inside your body and then condense it into a blade of grass that grows out of the top of your head!"
The moment these words came out, Ling Feng and the others couldn't stay calm. Their expressions were full of weirdness!
Hadn't Jiangnan had a blade of grass growing out of his head before?
And as soon as he plucked it off, they all felt angry just looking at him and wanted to beat him up?
Xia Yao suddenly realized. What Original Sin Punishment? What negotiation? It was all fake!
Little Nan's real goal was probably to get Hans to willingly put on that hat, right?
Hans was stunned: "You're saying that after wearing the Evil-Averting Hat, a grass will grow out of my head?"
Jiangnan spread his hands: "Of course. This is a treasure from the eighth layer of the Abyss. I even suspect it's not from our world!"
"The grass that grows out of your head is called the Bad Luck Grass. It's formed from the bad luck condensed inside your body!"
"The moment the grass grows, you have to pull it out! That way, you remove the bad luck. When grass stops growing from your head, it means the bad luck inside you is completely cleansed!"
"Then the Original Sin Punishment can never find you again!"
Zhong Yingxue was madly pinching her own thigh, her body trembling slightly!
(⑉ԾжԾ⑉)
I clearly remember that after pulling out the grass, it made people become annoying!
Little Nan is so bad～
Hans was horrified: "Is it really that miraculous?"
Jiangnan affirmed: "It's that miraculous. Remember, you must pull out the Bad Luck Grass the moment it grows!"
"Otherwise, the Bad Luck Grass will turn into a lightning rod that attracts the Original Sin Punishment!"
"If you can't pull it out yourself, you can have your underlings supervise and help. You only have one chance, so cherish it!"
With that, he tossed the Evil-Averting Hat in his hand to Hans!
Hans licked his dry lips and held it in his arms like a treasure!
"This thing had better work, or you know the consequences!"
Jiangnan stood up and smiled: "Just do as I say, and I guarantee the Original Sin Punishment will never bother you again!"
Inside, he was going crazy with laughter!
Go ahead and keep pulling grass! As long as you keep pulling, the grass will never bloom!
Hahahaha!
That way, the side effect of the Forgiveness Hat won't just last 24 hours!
When the Queen throws the banquet later...
Hehehe～
With that, Jiangnan led his people out of the headquarters building. His own Forgiveness Hat time was almost up.
If he stayed any longer, a fight might really break out!
In the conference room, Hans looked at the Evil-Averting Hat in his hands with eager anticipation!
And the underlings were all red-eyed!
"Boss, are you really just letting him go like that? Jiangnan totally doesn't take you seriously!"
"Not just not taking you seriously — he's trampling on you!"
"That was two slaps to the face, Boss! Where's your temper?"
At this moment, Hans recalled what had just happened. He nearly choked on his own blood from anger, looking utterly despondent.
Grudge points were refreshing like crazy!
Putting up with this humiliation? How had he managed not to strike back yet?
Was that cowardly old man just now really me?
What the hell!
Hans gritted his teeth: "Let him be arrogant for a while. Once I use the Evil-Averting Hat and deal with the Original Sin Punishment, I'll slowly settle the score with him!"
He was truly afraid of being punished again!
He slipped away to the headquarters' vault, locked himself inside!
With great solemnity, he put the Evil-Averting Hat on his head, his face full of anticipation!
One hour from now, the moment I step out of this vault door, a happy life begins!
Jiannan! Wait for me to shake your world!
Outside, the Black Claw underlings were all frustrated!
"What a cowardly boss! How can he forgive someone after being beaten like that? Useless!"
"I bet if I slapped the boss, he wouldn't even fight back!"
"Following a boss like this is suffocating. I want to quit and go join the Dandelions. They seem more domineering over there!"
"I wonder if Dandelions are hiring. Is the interview easy to pass? I'll go dig up my resume later..."
...
Meanwhile, in the car, everyone looked at Jiangnan suspiciously!
Ling Feng: "How can you guarantee that after Hans wears that broken hat, he won't get the Original Sin Punishment anymore?"
Gong Lin rubbed her chin thoughtfully: "Scheming! The Original Sin Punishment is probably you, isn't it?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!"
"I'm Jiangnan. What does the punishment have to do with me?"
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue nodded repeatedly!
Yeah, yeah, of course it has nothing to do with you!
It was Jiang the Punisher who did it, not Jiangnan.
We all understand!
At that moment, Jiangnan took off the Forgiveness Hat, and a green blade of grass popped out of his head with a "bUi" sound!
Wang Ba's eyes lit up: "Damn! Bad Luck Grass? I've got to pluck it for you!"
Jiangnan teleported away from Wang Ba's hand and quickly used a spatial barrier to protect the grass on his head!
He glared: "Today you dare to pluck my grass, tomorrow I will hit your...!"
Wang Ba shuddered. No matter how high his defense, he was afraid of being hit there!
Everyone covered their faces. This grass really couldn't be plucked. They silently mourned for Hans!
Jiangnan turned to Yao Hong and instructed: "Contact those underground channels in Nightless City that Hans gave us. Get ready to take over!"
Yao Hong smiled bitterly: "It's not that easy. The Queen's side..."
Jiangnan grinned: "You just make the contacts. Let those partners wait for news. I'll handle the Queen!"
"You all go back first!"
With that, he teleported out of the car!
Yao Hong was stunned and leaned out the window: "Boss, where are you going?"
Jiangnan waved without looking back: "Rainbow Lighthouse!"
Everyone in the car was shocked. He was going to see the Crimson Queen?
By himself? Just like that?
That's the master of Nightless City! Southern God's balls are really fat!
But worry crept into their hearts...
...
At this moment, at the entrance of Rainbow Lighthouse, hundreds of Nightless City guard troops blocked Jiangnan's way!
Their eyes were full of vigilance, but when they saw the grass on Jiangnan's head, their expressions twisted!
They really wanted to pluck it off!
Meanwhile, Mei had a cold expression, her body surging with spiritual energy, but her eyes were full of conflict!
She really wanted to ask Jiangnan why there was a blade of grass on his head, but it wasn't the right time!
Finally, she said coldly: "Why are you here at Rainbow Lighthouse? This isn't a place you can just walk into!"
Jiangnan's spatial ability was tricky. Even if he was only Gold rank, she had to be on guard!
This was the Queen's lair. They absolutely couldn't let a spatial user roam around freely inside!
Jiangnan helplessly rolled his eyes. It wasn't like he'd never been here before. Did they have to be this guarded?
Was his main account really this unwelcome here?
But this matter had to be handled with his own identity!
Jiangnan grinned brightly: "Sister Mei, I want to see the Queen. I'd like to talk to her about the magical beans."
Mei's eyes turned icy cold: "Who are you calling sister? Don't try to get chummy. Am I that familiar with you?"
"The Queen has already retired and isn't seeing anyone. If you want to see her, make an appointment. Wait a few months and you'll get a reply!"
Jiangnan: (｡˘•～•˘｡) Hmph!
How could they turn their backs on him like this?
The famous double standard, huh?
Looked like if he didn't get tough today, he wouldn't even get to see Mi Ye!
Jiangnan's face turned cold: "I don't have that kind of free time to make appointments!"
"If I want to see the Queen, none of you can stop me! Even if you're Starlight rank!"
With that, intense spatial fluctuations radiated from his body!
Mei was furious: "You—!"
Just then, a clear, cold voice came from above the lighthouse!
"Let him up!"
Mi Ye, wearing a black shirt, stood on the balcony, holding a glass of crimson wine, staring coldly at Jiangnan!
