Beauty and the Bodyguard - Chapter 1034
Urgent News for All Kenyans
Chapter 1034: Chapter 1033 – Be Feng Xiaoxiao’s Soulmate
“Sure, note down my phone number and address, call me when you arrive in Songshan city. I’ll go pick you up!” Lin Yi gave his mobile number and address to Er Goudan after that.
Er Goudan found a paper and noted down the details and put them into his pocket.
Lin Yi had reached the villa by the time the call ended. The Miss and Shu were still lying on the sofa watching TV.
“Shield bro, did I do well today?” Seeing upon Lin Yi’s return, Yushu went to claim her rewards happily, “Feng Xiaoxiao and I are good friends now!”
“En…..but you have to keep working on it and try to get even closer!” Lin Yi said.
“Even closer?” Yushu asked.
“Yeah, the best is to become her soulmate, just like Yaoyao,” Lin Yi said.
“Soulmate, that is impossible. She’s my love rival, after all!” Yushu shook her head, troubled.

Lin Yi didn’t say anything as he took out his phone, opened the gallery and showed Yushu the wish card Feng Xiaoxiao wrote, “Feng Xiaoxiao has a few wishes since her life is ending soon, so I would like to help her out….”
“Oh?” Yushu froze and took the phone over, there was a picture filled with words in the image, “I wish I had a soulmate, I can tell her all my loneliness, I can share my happiness and sadness with her on the same bed…. But it’s destiny, I couldn’t find any real friends in this life, I don’t want my best friend to be hurt after I leave…”
Mengyao, on the other hand, was curious too and also joined in, looking at the image in Lin Yi’s phone. She frowned, “Lin Yi, where did you get this?”
“From Xiaoxiao’s phone,” Lin Yi wasn’t trying to hide, either. Feng Xiaoxiao’s wish had shaken Chu Mengyao’s heart. It was natural for a person to have a soulmate but things were different in Feng Xiaoxiao’s situation, it was an unreachable and extravagant wish!
Chu Mengyao felt especially bitter at Feng Xiaoxiao’s reason! To avoid putting her friends in grief, she chose not to make friends at all, what a brave decision!
“Shu, we have to become Feng Xioaxiao’s soulmate!” Chu Mengyao raised up her fist, fired up, and said the words one by one.
“Oh…okay,” Chen Yushu saw that Mengyao had agreed, she could only nod at this point.
To tell the truth, what she did today was just to get on Feng Xiaoxiao’s side but now that they had to become her soulmates- it was not as simple as getting on her side. She had to interact with her full-heartedly now, otherwise, it wouldn’t be called a soulmate, would it? Besides, Feng Xiaoxiao only wanted to become Lin Yi’s concubine- it was no threat to her position as a small wife, either. On top of that, she was about to kick the bucket soon, so Yushu didn’t think that it was an issue to be concerned.
After both of them had reached the same conclusion, while they were about to leave things aside, Yushu found that the image was not the last photo in his gallery so she continued to swipe…

Lin Yi started to panic and wanted to stop her but it was too late. Chen Yushu’s hand was faster, she had already swept to the left! Lin Yi snatched back his phone in the next second, it showed that he was hiding something behind them!
Lin Yi couldn’t help but regret his previous decision of capturing one of the wishes down- Xiaoxiao wanted a “3P” experience!
Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao were both reading at Feng Xiaoxiao’s other wishes, but they weren’t interested in her dream of being a racer as it had zero connection with them but when both of them saw the 3P wish, both of them had their eyes widened, staring at the screen, flabbergasted!
“I’ve decided to allow my boyfriend to carry on with my toughest dream, I’ll let my boyfriend to push me down and then we will play 3P together….. Hahaha…. Xiaoxiao, you’re a genius! But it seems like you’re daydreaming, doesn’t it?
Chen Yushu and Chu Mengyao stared at the content of the image, speechless!
After a long while, Chen Yushu sighed, “Damn, this Feng Xiaoxiao is crazier than me? She even wants to have 3P with the superstar? I only wanted to have it with Yaoyao sis…..”
“Shu, what nonsense are you talking?” Mengyao glared at Yushu, out of nowhere, a feeling of regret started building inside….
One Shu was already enough to make her headache, and she had just accept to be Feng Xiaoxiao’s soulmate. Xiaoxiao and Shu were almost similar, if she were to make her as her other soulmate, could she really withstand the both of them? Would she collapse one day?
If these two were to get together, would the idea of having 3P get even intense? This Feng Xiaoxiao already wanted to try 3P, perhaps if she were to work with Chen Yushu, even 4P or 5P would be possible!

“Hehe, but this wish is indeed a good one, Xu Shihan is Yaoyao sis’s and my idol. Shield bro you’ve got to work harder now!” Chen Yushu raised her hand up, “I don’t mind having a 3P with the superstar…. Hu…. it’s 4P, adding Yaoyao sis would be 5P….”
“….” Lin Yi was literally palm facing, speechless. His heart was beating so fast, it was about to explode, it sounded super exciting but…. Why did Lin Yi feel like he was setting the whole world on fire….
Chu Mengyao was slapping her forehead with her hand too, almost fainted from the words. Her thoughts of Yushu saying that just came true instantly, it was as shocking as she had imagined it would be…. What was she supposed to do from now on?
“I’ll go have a look at Uncle Fu….” Lin Yi got back his phone from Yushu and headed to Uncle Fu’s room.
“I’ll have a shower and go to bed….” Mengyao retreated too.
“I’m joining!” Yushu followed Chu Mengyao happily, like a follower.
Lin Yi walked towards Uncle Fu’s room, his door wasn’t locked so he entered the room directly.
Uncle Fu was practising on his bed when he felt Lin Yi’s presence- he opened his eyes gradually, “Lil’ Yi, you’re back?”
It was obvious that the conversation they had in the living room wasn’t heard by him- he could only detect a certain area.
How to Become Rich in Kenya
“En, how’re you doing, Uncle Fu?” Lin Yi nodded.
“I’ve already started practising the art of my sec, golden class peak late phase, this is a good start, I’m truly contented!” UNcle FU was serious when he said this, no trace of reluctancy could be heard from the sentence.
“Uncle Fu, I wish to try again today!” Lin Yi hadn’t given up yet.
He couldn’t understand why Uncle Fu was able to absorb the pure qi from the natural world but not the pure qi from the jade through his body as a vessel?
“Hehe, sure!” Uncle Fu nodded, didn’t reject his offer. His life was already dedicated to Lin YI- of course he would be happy to cooperate!
Chapter 1035: Odd Case
Without another word, Lin Yi walked to Uncle Fu and put his hands on his nerves, channeling the Art of Dragon Mastery…
Uncle Fu started chanelling the art of his sect as well…
Ten minutes later, Lin Yi decided to give up. Nothing was happening at all, it was the same as before! Lin Yi wasn’t able to transfer his own energy to Uncle Fu, and Uncle Fu couldn’t absorb the energy he was sending!
It seemed like Elder Jiao was right, there was a level limit on this sort of energy transfer, and he was only able to transfer energy to a practitioner until they were one entire class lower than him!
This meant that, as long as he wasn’t at Earth class, he wouldn’t be able to turn Uncle Fu into a Mystic!
Lin Yi was thinking that being able to mass produce masters like this was already a big deal, but it didn’t seem so powerful anymore!
After all, golden class masters- despite being an extreme rarity in the common world- was not enough for his problems! Lin Yi’s enemies now came from noble familities, and those were different from comon world ones! Golden class fighters were normal there, and most of them were Mystics, with even Earths!
In front of people like this, Uncle Fu and Weiwu weren’t of use at all! Lin Yi had to rely on himself!
He decided to let it go. Some people couldn’t even reach golden class, but he was able to mass produce them, it was better than nothing.
At that thought, he gave up trying to level up Uncle Fu and returned to his room…
Songshan these days, was peaceful. On the surface, the security and safety was great- the thieves’ group was captured, the kidney cutting organization was destroyed, and the underground powers of Li Cihua were quiet and calm!
Normally, under a peaceful atmosphere such as this, Song Lingshan should be happy. And the truth was, the leader did indeed praise her multiple times! Ever since she became the captain of the criminal police, Songshan was a lot safer. Her case-solving was also the fastest in history!
Lingshan, however, felt at unease. Many precedents have shown that peace only signalled a greater imminent evil!
She was also thinking this because a couple of missing persons cases had begun popping up these last few days- seemingly normal cases, but with far more to it than met the eye!
Wang Lie was a farmer, and because of some salary problems three days ago he had a fall out with his boss- he beat him up, and then disappeared!
From what the details said, Wang Liu was a strong farmer, and was able to easily trample over the boss and his few bodyguards!
The boss didn’t even report the case, and it was a store vendor nearby who saw the whole thing that called the police.
They only assumed Wang Lie ran because he was afraid of charges, and so people didn’t care. The boss himself was fine with it, and didn’t even want to press charges, so the whole thing could be seen as a simple brawl between citizens. Even the victim didn’t care, so why would the police do anything?
The injuries weren’t even severe, either, and the boss was fine.
So, the police only did a simple recording of the events before leaving.
If it weren’t for similar things happening in a recent preiod, this wouldn’t have been noticed or picked up by Lingshan at all! It was due to them appearing repeatedly that put a frown on her face.
Wang Li beat up the boss, but the boss wasn’t actually heavily injured at all, with only some bruises and a bit of skin chipped off on his head- the bodyguards, too. They didn’t even have any broken bones!
Wang Lie had no reason to run at all, in a situation like this! Even the police weren’t thinking of getting him, why did he run? From the boss’ perspective, the guy made it clear already that he just thought of it as bad luck, and didn’t want to press charge! Wang Liu would have access to this information just by asking, but he ran!
The second case was similar.
Sun Kaoli was a furnisher from a moving company, and he accidentally broke one of the glass made items. His boss didn’t say anything, and wasn’t even planning on cutting it from his slaray, but Kaoli disappeared!
Just why on earth did he run?
His disappearance made the boss suspicious- that was why he called the police in the first place, but he realized that nothing had been stolen from his company… The only reason he might’ve ran at this point might have been a company confidential reason…
Of course, that wasn’t much. If it were just these two cases, one could call them coincidences… Then what about those today?
Yang Maolin was a bit of a gangster, a rough guy around his parts. He wallked around the market and collected protection money, and met some resistance from one of the vendors. And so, he used a plate to smash his face open!
Him smashing the face open, however, only drew blood from the nose- after washing your face off you couldn’t even tell! The others thought this would be over just like that, and the guy who got smashed would pay up tomorrow.
Maolin had beaten up his share of vendors before, to a much heavier degree than this. This was nothing to him!
But, this guy was pissed and called the police, who came to sort things out a bit. After all, Maolin’s official title was manager of this market, and collecting protection money could be understood as collecting business rent! He was pretty enthusiastic when he collected those fees, but it was legal!
And so, there wasn’t much one could do to put Maolin in jail or anything. The beating, on the other hand, would only be considered fighting between citizens…
But the weird thing was- Maolin disappeared! He wasn’t seen again!
It seemed like he was worried that he’d beaten the guy up too bad, and so he ran fearing the consequences… But the guy he beat up was perfectly fine
!
If these three cases were to be looked at individually, it wouldn’t raise an eye- but put them together? It was odd!
In just a few short days, three of these ‘running from fear of crime’ cases had appeared, as all of them recorded. What about the ones the police didn’t record?
Chapter 1036: I Miss You

Chapter 1035 – I Miss You
Lingshan felt that there was a problem here, but she didn’t know what!
Why were these people running, and where were they running to? What was the purpose? The series of questions gave Lingshan a headache!
On the surface, there was nothing wrong at all- and this would make Lingshan seem paranoid if she obssessed on it. After all, she was the type of person who become really suspiciously if something wasn’t logical.
“Fuu…” Lingshan put the files aside and massaged her head. Apparently being a leader wasn’t that easy- her days as a lowly soldier were easier, since she didn’t have to worry about things like this. She didn’t want the peaceful Songshan to be in trouble again.
Hopefully she was just being sensitive, and that this was just a coincidence.
She wondered what Lin Yi was doing now? This past while Lin Yi had lost contact with her, and she wanted to call him to ask where he was- but there was no reason for her to. She didn’t have any excuses since there weren’t any cases she needed help with, so she had nothing to say to him!
She knew what had happened in the last few days in Songshan. Someone in her position should be in the know for all of these things.
House Yu, House Xiao, and even the hidden house Zhao’s, Zhao Qibin had went to Pengzhan’s to rob him- she knew about all those events, but she had no power to do anything about it. She was from a noble house, too, and knew about the things of the highest class, but the rules of that world restricted her power to do anything to them.
She wanted to help, but remembering that she was a late phase golden class made her realize that she’d cause trouble instead of help, since she couldn’t fight them at all. As a result, she gave up on that thought! She was, however, still worried when she heard that Lin Yi lost his strength and was forced into a corner!
She didn’t know why, but she had complicated feelings for Lin Yi! Lin Yi was the first one who was cocky in front of her, the first man- the other boys from other noble houses had only praises for Lingshan, but Lin Yi called her braindead all the time!
While this angered her, it produced an odd feeling! She couldn’t resist, and didn’t dare to resist- this made her completely helpless, and could only endure it! Yet, as time went by, she started to like this feeling of being dominated!
She sometimes even wondered if she might have masochistic tendencies? Lingshan shook her head- she actually wanted to fight back, okay? It was just that she wasn’t able to resist, and so she had no choice but to take it, and that became a habit! That was all!
Just thinking about Lin Yi took her peace away. She quickly tidied up the documents on her table and looked at the clock- it was past nine at night already.
She yawned and turned off the lights, locked the door, and entered the office.
She was single, and due to the nature of her busy work, she sometimes just slept in the office directly if she worked until too late.
She brushed her teeth and washed her face and laid on bed. She wanted to give Lin Yi a call, and couldn’t sleep as she rolled about.
It was already ten. Lin Yi was probably asleep.
But, as if she couldn’t control her hand, she took her phone and called Lin Yi.
Lin Yi wasn’t asleep- he had just finished trying to level up Uncle Fu to no avail, and had finished a shower when Lingshan called.
“Hello?” Lin Yi picked up.
“It’s me…” Lingshan said hesitantly and carefully.
“Oh, is something the matter?” Lin Yi asked. Lingshan always called him for negative reasons- if it wasn’t some bad guy she couldn’t handle, it was some trouble she needed him to solve.
“No… Nothing,” Lingshan was feeling a little awkward- she didn’t know what she was thinking, but she called, and the call went thorugh… And now she didn’t know what to say.
“Nothing? Then why’d you call me for?” Lin Yi was confused, on the other hand. From his experience, Lingshan calling him could only mean trouble, and if he was able to help, he’d help her. But, looking at the way she was acting… Could it be that something big had happened?
“Do you need me to help you with something?”
“No… I don’t…” Lingshan was brave these few days, but that was temporary. After not contacting Lin Yi for so many days, she couldn’t find any words.
“Then I’m hanging up?” Lin Yi didn’t know where this was coming from. If she had something she needed to say, she could just say it. If not, then why did she call?
“Don’t hang up…” Lingshan hesitated- hearing Lin Yi about to hang up gave her a boost of adrenaline. In that rush, she didn’t care anymore, “I… I miss you!”
“Wha??” Lin Yi paused, “What did you say?”
“I… Miss Braindead here misses you!” Lingshan, not caring anymore.
Lin Yi frowned. He didn’t have too many pleasant memories with Lingshan, and while there was some admiration there, it was only admiration towards her body. He didn’t like her personality too much, and even though Lingshan changed a lot, he never thought of her as a potential partner or anything like that!
As far as he was concerned, he and Lingshan were different people, and she would never understand his life. As a result, he intentionally kept a distance between them! This was also why Lin Yi didn’t do anything when they were at the underground base of the kidney thieves, why he held back when Lingshan was straight up seducing him!
Obviously, he had that urge- but he didn’t let his body control his mind. He was a strong person, able to hold back and stop his impulses. Otherwise he wouldn’t still be alive.
But Lingshan’s actions were getting a little obvious, and this made Lin Yi have a headache! He decided to find a chance to have proper talk with her!
He didn’t think that she had fallen in love with him, but with the toughness in her personality, Lin Yi could more or less guess why she was interested in him! Admirers like Chen Yutian and other suitors were all compliant and praising her, trying to win her favor- but Lin Yi was completely different, and instantly stood out! This made Lingshan find him fresh and unique!
And she couldn’t beat him even if she tried to resist, so she only accepted it! As time went by with that mentality, she naturally felt that someone with Lin Yi’s personality would fit her more, and, using her words, she needed a man stronger than her- this was why she leaned towards Lin Yi!
Chapter 1037: Help Me Level Up

Chapter 1036 – Help Me Level Up
But, these reasons weren’t enough for her to fall in love with Lin Yi. The two had limited contact, and he had even spent more time with Xiaoxiao than Lingshan! Of course she should not have developed feelings toward him.
Even if there were emotions, it was probably produced in that chaotic scene back in the underground base- Lingshan would be fine once she understood that.
“You miss me?”
“Yes,” Lingshan nodded without hesitation.
“Why do you miss me?” He asked back.
“I… I want you… to come help me level up…” Lingshan said, blushing.
If this had come from someone else’s mouth, it would be a normal sentence. Like Uncle Fu, asking Lin Yi to help him level up- yes, that was just that, leveling up his strength class! In fact, Lin Yi had been doing that the past while.
Lingshan saying this, however, had different implciations!
Remembering how Lingshan had broken through to golden class late phase last time, Lin Yi and Lingshan knew perfectly well what that had meant!
This sort of leveling system gave him a headache- Lin Yi just happened to be the fantasy target Lingshan decided on when she did the deed, and she broke through just like that! This seemed ridiculous, but it really did happened!
Of course, Lin Yi didn’t think that that was the source of the breakthrough- if that had been the case, then Lingshan could just sit around all day touching herself, touching herself until she became a Sky class!
Evidently, that wouldn’t work. Lingshan was probably almost at the breakrhough point last time, and that thing just happened to occur at the right time. Lin Yi didn’t go deep into researching it, since this wasn’t something he’d understand. Every house used a different practitioning method, he couldn’t analyze them all.
“Okay, when?” Lin Yi said after thinking about it.
“Uh…” Lingshan wasn’t expecting that direct an answer. He said yes, just like that?
“What’s wrong?” Lin Yi asked when Lingshan was quiet.
“Nothing- then this weekend, can you come to my house?” Lingshan said, her emotions hightened.
“Sure,” Lin Yi nodded.
“I’ll wait for you then…” Lingshan’s heart was beating really fast- Lin Yi said yes! This made her very happy.
Her breathing was getting more rapid as well, due to her emotions- and as she held onto her phone, she felt her body heat up, and remembered that special feeling she felt in the basement… Her hand, without her consent, went for under the blanket…
After hanging up, Lin Yi didn’t think too much about it. He went into a practitioner’s state. The situation now wasn’t too good, after all. House Yu and Xiao were held at bay for now, but who knew what would come next after this momentary period of peace?
And so Lin Yi couldn’t take too much time- he had to train and breakthrough earlier. Only if he had enough strength would he be able to hold these impulsive houses at bay!
Tonight, he would spend in training.
Tonight, Uncle Fu would spend in training as well.
Tonight, the Miss and Shu fell asleep as they talked, talking about Xiaoxiao, about best friends, about how you couldn’t just suddenly accept a third person in without discussion…
Tonight, Tang Yin was resting peacefully, happy. After two days, she would enter into a new house, and, after persuading her mother, was preparing to purchase some bamboo charcoal.
Tonight, Xiaoxiao spent another sleepless night. She thought about the future, for the first time in her life… Her future with Lin Yi. She felt lost, and didn’t know if she should be feeling hesitant…
Tonght, Lingshan fell into a dream after her experiencing some excitement, and outside, rain started dripping and falling. In her dreams, Lin Yi wore pajamas…
The rainy night made Songshan look quiet, more than usual. The beggars and homeless people were all gone to who knew where, and the restaurants had closed early.
But, there was a place still filled with life and noise, despite the rain-
It was An Jianwen’s underground arena!
Yang Maolin looked at the fighter who had won two in a row- he frowned.
Why was this guy so tough? When someone came to scout him out they only said it was an underground fighting tournament, and they would get a hundred thousand… That was a hundred thousand, and he didn’t have to win!
Maolin couldn’t hold back! He was a gangster in the first place and earnt his money by bullying people into submission, but that was only two or three thousand max from the venodors! These guys were offering him a hundred grand, of course he’d accept!
And so he pretended run from a crime, that was what Little Scorpion told him to do! The reason was simple- if you didn’t win, you get a hundred thousand. If you won, you would get an extra three hundred thousand! If you killed the opponent, then his hundred thousand was yours as well- you’d have five hundred thousand!
But if you killed someone, you had to run, of course. If you had just disappeared without a reason, there’d be suspicion, but if you ran because of something small thing then people would just glaze past you, not giving you much thought!
A little bit of trouble wouldn’t turn you into a fugitive, after all, and that was what Maolin thought too! He was a gangster, fighting all the time with his gangster body- if he really did kill someone accidentally, that’d be completely plausible!
Plus, an extra three hundred thousand if he won? He knew that this was the type of arena where you fought to the death- most people wouldn’t give up easily, it was three hundred thousand after all!
And so, in order to win, you had to fight to the death! Only then would you also get the opponent’s hundred thousand!
He was a gangster in the first place, and didn’t care about human life much, especially in an arena like this. The arena boss wouldn’t want things to go out of control once someone died, and he just had to leave for a couple of years until things died down, and he’d be fine!
But, that was just a thought. Reality was cruel.
One look at that short muscle guy on the stage who’d won two matches in a row, Maolin wasn’t so confident anymore!
Chapter 1038: Plot in the Arena
He may just be a gangster, but he had seen his share of fights before. This short man was packed with muscles- he was good! If Yang Maolin was right, then this person was someone who became a dark martial artist after a long time of fighting underground fights! His moves were all killer moves, meant to kill!
This was a world of difference between the fights Maolin got himself into! He was used to fighting, but that was fighting- he aimed to injure, to put someone down… But this man was trying to kill! Every hit was aimed at the vitals, at the head and at the chest, each of them with the potenaital to kill!
Looking at the opponent who the short muscled guy had just destroyed, Maolin started sweating. The short man was dragging him away from the stage like he was a dead dog!
He was regretting it! He really did! He shouldn’t have believed what Little Scorpion told him, he shouldn’t have dreamed an impractical dream!
The short man sent another hit- with a burst, he caved his fist into the side of the opponent’s head- it collapsed inward, and popped out again, forming a massive hump!
The bear like man twitched twice before falling down, not one trace of life was left.
Another victory for the short man!
He raised his hands, basking in the cheers of the crowd!
Two matches- that was one million yuan! Three matches today and he’d be able to get one and a half million, this was the biggest pay in his life of illegal fighting tournaments! He wouldn’t have come all the way to Songshan from Thailand otherwise!
He was a master of Thai boxing, and used to be a professional sportsman before retiring and turning to underground arenas. A lot of retired fighters got weaker with age, but the short man was different. His strength now was even stronger than the peak moment of his legal fighting career!
Especially after he learned some killer moves from a third rate assassin- he became even stronger!
Of course, that wasn’t all- he was also stronger because he had walked up the path of practitioning as a physical practitioner, soon to be a golden class fighter! This was the secret of his power!
“Scorpion Bro… I don’t want to fight anymore…” Maolin said as he realized the direness of the situation. He wanted money, but he didn’t want to die!
“You’ve signed the life and death agreement. You have one choice, and that is to fight!” Little Scorpion said coldly.
“I won’t, what are you going to do? Life and death papers? I’m just some gangster, but I know that this sort of thing doesn’t work in court! I go up there now, I die!” Maolin had no choice but to go into conflict with Scorpion, even though he knew just how big the strength supporting this arena must be.
“Oh?” Scorpion smiled coldly as he pointed his gun at him. “Then you can die now!”
“Wha?!” Maolin froze with the gun on his head, shaking. “You… You guys…”
“Fight, and you might live and even win money,” Scorpion said, “Don’t fight, and you die now.”
Maolin didn’t know what to say. He was the lowest of gangsters, so of course he’d never seen a gun before! He shook uncontrollably with the gun at his head, not doubting that Scorpion would kill him- he’d just seen the short man kill two people!
So, that meant that people dying here wasn’t a problem at all!
So he knelt, “Scorpion Bro, I really don’t want to die, please, I don’t want to die, I haven’t lived enough yet!”
“You don’t want to die?” Scorpion sighed, putting on an act, “Then wait a moment, let me talk to my boss.”
“Okay, okay!” Moalin nodded instantly.
The Scorpion only went behind the door just to walk back. The plan was set, so nothing could be changed! He only showed the fights to Maolin on purpose to make him scared, otherwise, if they really wanted him to go on stage and die, they wouldn’t have shown him the fights at all!
“Boss said he can guarantee your win, but your five hundred thousand will only be three hundred thousand. You okay with that?” Little Scorpion said.
“Yes, yes!” Maolin said, overjoyed that not only was he going to win, he was still going to get three hundred grand! He just wanted to keep his life, he didn’t care about money at that point- this was a bonus!
“Before you go on stage later, I’ll give you an injection- this will strengthen you for thirty minutes, gtiving you immense strength!” Scorpion said, “But you need to kill the opponent in thirty minutes- otherwise, you’ll have to rely on yourself after that!”
“Is… this injection really that good?” Maolin said, doubting him, thinking that Scorpion was lying to make him go on stage.
“Do I have a reason to lie? This injection is quite expensive- boss said that the short man had already won two, messing up the balance of the bets for the third one. If he wins again, the boss will suffer a great loss, that’s why he’d even use such an expensive injection on you!” Little Scorpion said. “Cutting that two hundred grand from you isn’t even enough to cover this injection!”
“I see! Okay, he heh, I know!” Maolin was instantly filled with confidence.
Scorpion was rtight- the boss made bets of the house other than organizing the fights. Now that the short man had won two, the third bet would have a peak- everyone would bet on the short man, not some guy called Maolin!
So, if the short man won again, it’d be a loss for the arean!
The thought turned Maolin’s heart dark and alert. He had decided- once he won this fight, he’d take the money and leave, and never come back to an arena like this again!
After all, if he kept winning, and the bets on him grew, the boss of the areana would want him dead as well!
The third fight started, and the injection had entered Maolin. He went up to stage- it was the short man who was his opponent!
The man seemed to still be full of energy, as if his previous two matches were just warm ups! He stood on the stage, looking down on the green haired Maolin!
Chapter 1039: Injection Stops Working
The injecion started working, and Maolin felt his body fill with overflowing energy!
Scorpion didn’t lie- it really did work! He felt like a superhuman right now!
Looking at the short man, who didn’t seem to be afraid of Maolin- he struck first, sending it at the short man!
A slam sounded, and he hit it onto the short man- but the short man did the same to his chest!
Eh?
Maolin paused!
This fist from the shot man was packed with immense strength- but in reality, it didn’t hurt at all!
Yes, from Maolin’s senses, he felt as if he’d just gotten pushed a little, not punched!
Maolin didn’t understand. What did this mean? Was the short man having mercy on him, or did he pull off a fluke?
But he pushed that thought aside!
Mercy? Of course not! One look at this man and he knew he had no mercy. He had already killed two people, why would he let him live?
No way it was a fluke either- no one did that in black fights, they just fought to the death in places like this! Flukes would get you killed!
Also, Maolin’s strenghtened punch seemed quite strong as he hit on the short man, and he felt it filled with much energy than usual…
And the short man even staggered a bit!
He didn’t expect this Maolin to be so powerful, coming at him with a trade of punches! His punching power was also strong, too, even though the short man was almost a golden class, he still felt pain from it!
“I’ll kill you!” A trace of anger flashed in his eyes as he sent another punch.
It hit Maolin, and Maolin hit back at the same time!
The way these two were fighting made the crowd cheer! The majority of the crowd, however, were thinking that the short man would win for sure, and Maolin trading blows like this would not end well for him.
They cheered, ‘Red Dragon, go!’ for the short man who was wearing a red dragon mask.
Maolin wore a grey dog mask but the mask, itself, didn’t cover all of his hair, revealing some of his green hair. No one gave him any calls of encouragement, for as far as they were concerned, this man was a dead man!
Red Dragon had already won two games seamlessly, and this Maolin had nothing special to him, yet still he was trading blows with Red Dragon! No one thought he would win.
Yet Maolin was really starting to wonder. This second fist felt like some girl slapping him or something, this was beyond unusual!
If the first attack was a fluke, what about now? No way he’d be fluking again, right?
Could it be that this injection even gave him defensive properties? Otherwise, why would he be feeling nothing when this short man punched him? He felt extreme joy at the realization.
So he was now imprenetrable! That meant that he had the upper hand! Not only was he extremely strong, his body could take strong hits as well! He was superman!
With that, he roared loudly and launched attacks at the short man, not a care in the world!
No matter what the short man did to him, he didn’t care- he kept punching and punching!
The audience didn’t know what they were seeing- what was going on? Did this man not fear death? What sort of fighting style was this?!
Maolin’s chest was already caved in from the short man’s attacks, but it was as if he didn’t feel it- he kept rushing the short man!
An Jianwen, who was watching the game, frowned. He looked at Scorpion, “Can this guy do it? Why does it feel like he’s gonna get killed?”
Scorpion was starting to get a little doubtful, “All the other fighters we injected this with were all able to win…”
“It looks like he’s about to die before even killing his opponent!” Jianwen felt that something was wrong. He turned to Doctor Yin. ‘Professor, Yin, what’s going on?”
“This opponent is too strong. This medicine is only in its initial testing phase, and it would be able to beat any normal man with no problems. But this man in front of him might be a practitioner!” The professor frowned, “We should get Fighter Li to ask him what’s going on.”
“Practitioner? No way, a practitioner entering an illegal arena?” Jianwen paused. He turned to Scorpion, “Go get Fighter Li, ask him what’s the matter with this guy!”
“Yes!” Scorpion said before leaving.
He came back with Fighter Li a moment later, “Master Bin, you were looking for me?”
“Yes. Take a look at this guy- why is he still unable to win even after the injection?” Jianwen said as he pointed at the ongoing fight.
Fighter Li looked at the screen. “From what I can see right now, this person seems to be a physical practitioner, not yet reaching golden class. Professor Yin’s injection wouldn’t be enough for him… Unless the injection entered into someone who had very strong constituion in the first place…”
“Oh? So you’re saying that this Maolin can’t win?” Jianwen frowned.
“Indeed!” Fighter Li said certainly.
“Fuck!” Jianwen cursed. “They betted almost twenty million on Red Dragon already, if he wins again it’d be one to one, I’d have to pay up so much!”
“Don’t worry, Master Wen! I’ll go in the arena the next fight!” Fighter Li said, waving his hand, “With my strength, killing this Red Dragon is easy.”
“Hm… Okay! The bets would be higher if Red Dragon wins again, then the fourth one would get me rich if he loses!” Jianwen nodded, relaxing.
Maolin was dead! He didn’t even know how he died- he couldn’t feel pain, and just rushed and rushed with attacks, not realizing that his ribs had already been completely shattered, his heart had been punctured and burst out blood!
Chapter 1039 – Fighter Li
Even as he fell down to die, his brain was filled with thoughts of attacking and attacking- that he would win three hundred grand if he just kept hitting!
Even though Maolin seemed to be a stronger fighter than the previous two, Maolin didn’t care! The injection was strong, but it was still in its testing phase, unable to create someone with the strength of a practitioner! They were more than enough to deal with normal people, but they lost all advantages when it came to fighting a practitioner!
This wasn’t a smooth win on Red Dargon’s part, and it took some difficulty, along with multiple extra injuries compared to before… But he wasn’t hurt! He was a physical practitioner, and was already with a strong body in the first place. Maolin wasn’t bad, but he didn’t hit any of his vitals at all, so Red Dragon simply raised his hands to welcome the crowd’s cheer!
They cheered- the one they betted on won again!
“Mister Li, how much did you bet today?” A fat boss asked the boss beside him.
“Not much, heh, five million!” The boss said it wasn’t much, but he was still happy.
“Then you’d win ten million right away! Congratulations!” The fat boss said, envious. “I only put in three hundred grand- if this Red Dragon comes on stage again I’d bet five million- no, ten million!”
“OH? You’re not worried that you’d lose all that ten million?” The boss asked hesitatntly.
“Lose it? Why? Red Dragon would win for certain- just look at his strength!” The fat boss said, “Look at what happened today- his opponents weren’t weak at all, it was just that Red Dragon was too strong!”
“Hm… That’s true, but they might make Red Dragon fake his fight and lose on purpose!” The boss said, worried.
“Lose on purpose? Impossible!” The fat boss said, “Look at the previous fights, all of them had one death per match! The one who wins always kills his opponent, so of course they wouldn’t fake it! Unless Red Dragon was an idiot, pretending to lose even though he’s so strong- he’d die if he faked the fight! What was the point of all his benefits if he died?”
“You’re right!” The boss said, “Then I’ll put in more tomorrow- but I’ll have to see how many games he’s fighting tomorrow. If it’s still three, then I’ll bet on the later ones and look at the situation!”
“Heh heh, that’s quite cunning!” The fat boss said, “I won’t be looking at the situation though, I’ll be betting right away! Then if he really kept winning three in a row, my ten million would turn into eighty million by the end! Hahaha, eighty million, I’ll buy a yacht and get some mistresses, that’d be great!”
“Heh heh, I may not be betting on the first match, but I’ll be betting on the later ones! I’ll put in a hundred million!” The boss made up his mind- that was how he was. If someone were to encourage him while he was indesisive, he’d make a big decision without a pause.
“Hmph, then I’ll bet twenty million! That’s all my money!” The fat boss said.
In truth, all the audience members were having similar conversations, all of them were people who had just won money. They discussed whether they should bet tomorrow as well.
Of course, among the crowd were some of An Jianwen’s men, lsitening to the situation of the bets…
Although, one didn’t need ears in the crowd for this information. It was obvious now that everyone would bet on Red Dragon tomorrow!
Jianwen was quite pleased with that. He would lose a lot today, but tomorrow he’d earn it back tenfold and even a hundredfold!
“Fighter Li, I’ll be relying on you tomorrow!” Jianwen said to the fighter, “If you win tomorrow, I’d be able to get a godly amount of money!”
“No need to thank me, Master Wen. This is all for the Firewolves!” Fighter Li said with a wave of his hand, “But, I do have one request. Can you help me with something?”
“Oh? What request- do tell, Fighter LI!” Jianwen said.
“You see, there’s this girl I have an eye on…” Fighter Li said with a laugh.
“Haha, that’s within our nature! Not a problem, since it’s someone you like, I’ll ask Little Scorpion to send some men to get her for you!” Jianwen said casually, thinking that it was no big deal.
“Master Wen, this girl is from a proper family, there might be some problems if we just snatch her!” Master Li wasn’t an idiot- if doing it like that was an option, he’d have done it himself!
“Oh?” Jianwen paused. “What’s wrong? She has a background?”
“Not a background,” Fighter Li shook his hea.d
“Then what are you worried about?” Jianwen didn’t understand, “It’s not the first time we’ve kidnapped someone, we’ve done it multiple times, and we’re still fine!”
“This is different!” He shook his head, “Master Wen, we’re getting this girl for me to play with, and I can’t kill her before I’ve had my fun! This girl looks really special, and I really want her to be my mistress for the long term. What I’m worried about, however, is if she ran out and told the world about this business we have running!”
“Hm, you’re right!” Jianwen nodded, “Then we’ll use money.”
“Master Wen, this is what I’m thinking- we could let LIttle Scorpion make her father come to our arena to make bets, and make him be in a huge debt to the point where he can’t pay it back. We’ll have him offer his daughter on his own at that point! Then the girl would be here voluntarily, and she wouldn’t be able to run!”
“Ha, you’re quite the cunning one, Mister Li! Just like me!” Jianwen started laughing at the idea. He was thinking of taking advantage of Pengzhan when he was forced in a corner, and Fighter Li was intending the same thing!
Chapter 1041: Wu Chentian’s Return

Chapter 1040 – Wu Chentian’s Return
“Alright, leave this matter to me!” Scorpion said with a pat on his chest. He was someone who always walked among the people of the common world, and it was his field. This was a job for him. “What is this girl called? What is her father’s name?”
“The girl is Yu Yuanyuan, she works at a burger shop close to a primary school, and her father sells stuff in the market nearby, called Yu Ren. They’re poor people, and haven’t seen the world- a few words will be enough to hook them in!” Fighter LI had already investigated Yuanyuan’s background already.
Fighter Li may often think about girls, but the females he always interacted with were always the girl type, not the women kind. He preferred pure and innocent girlies, and he was eating at that burger shop yesterday when he felt attracted to Yuanyuan, prompting him to do a background check. He was thinking about how he should approach this topic with An Jianwen, and since he just so happened to ask him to fight tomorrow, he might as well just make the request then and there!
As expected, Jianwen agreed- since it wasn’t a big deal in the first place!
Wu Gonggao of House Wu had finally left the hospital- but the incident that put him in the hospital was actually a blessing in disguise, for he had broken through to Mystic mid phase! This made him overjoyed- perhaps it was true that you needed to break before you can grow.
If that was the case, then maybe Gonggao should get so pissed he’d faint and get sent to the hospital… Two more times! Perhaps then he’d reach Earth class?
Of course, that was just a thought. Getting into a hospital may have some relation to his breakthrough, but that was mostly due to the fact that he was about to breakthrough in the first place! He just hadn’t reached the wall to go past into mid phase yet!
He always trained without rest at home, but couldn’t do so at the hospital. He only calmly rested his body, and after a while, when he recovered and started his training again- he burst right into Mystic mid phase!
He thought about it afterwards- this breakthrough could be because of the readjustment of his body’s health this past while. It was posible that was what made him breakthrough when he restarted his training!
In the end, it was for certain that house Wu would be even stronger now that he had broken through!
Wu Chentian, upon seeing that his grandfather had recovered and had even broken through, he quickly charged to Songshan from House Wu to look for Sun Jingyi, enthusiastically wanting to spill the beans about her relationship with Lin Yi!
Back in Yanjing, Lin Yi, Xiaoxiao, and him had a meal together- knowing that the two of them were a couple meant that Lin Yi couldn’t be Jingyi’s boyfriend, of course, unless Lin Yi wanted to cheat on Xiaoxiao!
But that didn’t matter- Chentian wanted to take Xiaoxiao, Jingyi, and Lin Yi all out for a meal, and if Lin Yi really had been cheating then Jingyi would be able to see Lin Yi’s true face once and for all! Of course, whether this ruined Lin Yi’s relationship with Xiaoxiao was of no concern to him.
He went back to Songshan during the night, and he held back from calling Jingyi, going for Xiao Wangba instead.
“Hello? Wangba, this is Wu Chentian!” Chentian said.
“Chentian Bro, hello!” Wangba was happy that he got this call. House Xiao wasn’t in that great a shape after all, so if there was something they could do to help support House Wu, they might not be removed from their status as a noble house just yet! After all, now that the old man at House Wu was a Mystic mid phase, reaching Earth class was quite the possibility! They had bigger authority now!
“How did it go, that task I left to you?” Chentian naturally didn’t know what had happened to House Xiao, since he had been busying with stuff regarding his old man recently.
Gonggao had just broken through, so he had to spread the news! Who had time to go listen to other people’s news?
“It’s done, the company’s registered and the building’s contracted. The employees and everything are taken care of too, but because we’ve just come to Songshan we don’t have any customer source. There hasn’t been any customers even after so many days!’ Wangba said.
Songshan’s trading companies were extremely large in number- one would be dreaming if they expected people to just walk in to their new opened business!
But Chentian didn’t care- it didn’t matter if they had customers or if they were earning money! Gonghao had broken through, and Chentian had just gotten himself something he could hit on girls with! Gonggao’s wish was to make him marry Sun Jingyi into House Wu, so as to improve its standing!
This company was made for the sake of making him look cool- he wanted the status of manager! It didn’t matter if it earned money or not!
He was recently learning how to act cool, and he felt that he was getting better at it! He realized after that meal with Xiaoxiao- girls nowadays liked guys who knew how to act cool! That was the only way to get girls to like you!!
And so he quickly mended his shortcomings- this company he started was only the first step to his plan! He wanted to be able to be equals with Jingyi, and since she had a company and was a chairman, he had to have that position as well to pursue her!
The second step was to get Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao together with Jingyi, to let Jingyi know just what sort of a person he was! Then, he’d show off his coolness there at the table, and Xiaoxiao would also support him when he demonstrated how great he was! Two birds with one stone!
“It’s okay if it doesn’t earn money, this is just for me to hit on girls! Let it run first, if you need money just tell me!” Chentian said casually.
“Alright, alright!” Wangba said happily. He was still worried that the company wasn’t earning money, after all it was Chentian who asked him to prepare it for him! He thought Chentian would be unhappy, but it seemed that he didn’t care about profits at all! Then fine, since there’s money to be given to employees by Chentian anyway, they could just keep it running!
Chapter 1042: Sun Jingyi’s Truth
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 1041 – Sun Jingyi’s Truth
“You finished the business cards right?” Chentian asked.
“It’s done! Just as you said, golden! It looks very high end!” Wangba quickly said.
“The sports car? Bought it?” Chentian asked.
“Yes, as you said, an Audi TT!” Wangba said, “It’s a new car, without a licence plate yet!”
“Oh, no need for the plate, it’s a gift!” Chentian said, “I’ll come get it tomorrow morning! But you need to tell people that this car is earned through company money, got it?”
“Got it!”
Chentian hung up and dialed Jingyi.
Jingyi was currently enjoying her bathtub, basking in peace and warmth.
One girl managing an entire company in Songshan by herself was stressful! She had to put on a front, act as if she were a cold female CEO. In her heart, however, she was a bit of a frail girl!
Taking off her mature makeup, the Jingyi now didn’t even look past twenty, her big eyes and long eyelashes, along with her casually let down hair and bubbles in her bathtub made her look like some princess from a fairytale!
If Lin Yi were here, he’d be shocked into wide eys! This was Sun Jingyi? It looked like some girl next door!
Of course, Lin Yi’s eyes were always accurate. He didn’t know what she looked like without makeup, but he could guess that she had been putting on a front. This shocked her considerably.
She lived her life being fake all the time, but she had no choice if she wanted to survive. She wanted to prove to her family that she could create something big, that she wasn’t someone who relied on her family, not some tool for them to use for marriage alliances!
But, without the background and support of House Sun, she was just like any other businessman, quietly managing their small company among the heavy competition, advancing slowly!
As for the forced alliance marriage by her house, or, certain members of her house, Jingyi decided with determination that she would walk this hard path and become successful!
Taking out her phone, she went through her gallery and saw some pictures of Lin Yi- it put a frown on her face. It had been a while since she was in contact with him, but without Chentian causing her trouble, she had no excuse to contact him…
She was extremely curious towards him, after all. Did she like him? Not really- Jingyi knew that, even though she rejected the marriage, she couldn’t just get some random boyfriend. If she did, it would piss her grandpa off!
House Sun didn’t have too many young ones, and those who broke through into the first stage through practitioning was few in number as well. If House Sun didn’t get support soon- while they wouldn’t get kicked out of the noble house society- they would still deteriorate!
So Sun jingyi’s target was specific. She needed to like the person she married, and he needed to be powerful! She wanted her aunt and uncles to know that she didn’t need them to find a perfect boyfriend!
Currently, she had only curiousity towards Lin Yi. Perhaps a little bit of interest, but that was all. She was a logical person, and just from how she faked her life, one would know that for certain.
“Fu…” She sighed slowly. Lin Yi had entered her sights, but from her perspective, he wasn’t good enough. He was a good fighter, but that was far from those practitioners…
Jingyi’s information flow was restricted- she didn’t contact her family nor the noble families much, and had nothing to do with the police, and so she didn’t know about the things that had happened recently, and didn’t even know that Lin Yi almost had to run back to his old home.
Thinking about these thigns, a sudden ringtone interrupted her, giving her a jump! Looking at who was calling, she frowned, but picked up regardless.
“I’m Sun Jingyi,” Jingyi said dully, as if she didn’t even see who called.
“Jinyi, it’s Wu Chentian!” Chentian was clearly excited, “I’m back in Songshan!”
“Oh, you’re back,” Jingyi said flatly.
“Yeah, I’ve invested in a company here, ahha, it seems like I will have to come to Songshan more often now, but that means we’ll have more chances to interact!” Chentian said, acting cool.
“Oh…” Jingyi had absolutely no interest whether or not this guy was starting a company. Some rich guy from a noble house, using his house’s money and connections to do business? That was not difficult at all, of course he’d earn a huge amount of profits. Jingyi wouldn’t be able to compete!
From what she could see, only an idiot would be unable to earn money with all the connections and money he had.
“Haha, it’s been a while- let’s have brunch tomorrow?” Chentian said excitedly.
“Tomorrow? I have to go to work, might not have time,” She rejected flatly.
“Haha, come and chat! Get Lin Yi, too, it’s been a while!” Chentian said intentionally, thinking that if Lin Yi was going, Jingyi would go as well. This would let her see the ugly truth behind Lin Yi’s double-timing.
“Lin Yi?” Jingyi paused, and something changed inside her as she put aside her ideal boyfriend- true, Lin Yi was quite a nice person, but he was a Great Thief… How would her grandpa react if she brought home a Great Thief?
“Yeah, back in Yanjing I met with him, and even bought him and his friend dinner, we had fun!” Chentian said, “So I was planning on having a meal with him again in Songshan, let’s go together?”
“I… Alright then…” Hearing that Lin Yi was going as well, Jingyi barely said yes. She had less and less care regarding Chentian, even though her family wanted her to spend more time with him. She was avoiding him all the time.
“Alright, I’ll go to your company to get you tomorrow!” Chentian was annoyed that the mere mention of Lin Yi’s name was enough to get Jingyi to agree, but the thought that he would be exposed for two timing tomorrow gave him peace as he endured.
“K,” With that, Jingyi hung up.
Chapter 1043: You’re Very Cute
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Chapter 1042 – You’re Very Cute
Lin Yi went to the hospital to fetch Tang Yin, as usual. Upon entering the car, she looked at him. “Let’s go to Ningshi Road and get Xiaoxiao…”
“Oh?” Lin Yi blinked.
“She said that, when she woke up, she saw that there wasn’t any gas left for school, so she wanted you to fetch her…” Tang Yin said, “She just called me.”
“Isnt’ there a gas station in front of her house?” Lin Yi found the excuse a little funny.
“Really?” Tang Yin blinked, and laughed, “This Xiaoxiao… I should get her to make a better excuse next time…”
“You knew she was lying?” LIn Yi smiled.
“Yeah, she admitted it…” Tang Yin smiled back. “You wouldn’t blame me for hiding it, right?”
“Nope,” Lin Yi shook his head. With Tang Yin’s personality, it was only natural she’d want to help Xiaoxiao more after learning the truth, which was why she teamed up with her to fool him.
With that, Lin Yi drove speedily to Xiaoxiao’s area.
Xiaoxiao stood there under her building, dressed very nicely as she waited with a smile at her door. Her posture and that bag over her shoulder gave off a strong sense of youth.
Lin Yi would never believe that this was someone soon about to die if he didn’t know firsthand just how odd her body was.
The Xiaoxiao now, smiled as usual, and excitedly ran over when she saw Lin Yi’s car!
Tang Yin and Xiaoxiao sat at the back of the Beetle, and the front seat was empty.
“Heh heh, sorry, out of gas- you had to fetch me!” Xiaoxiao said a little apologetically once she got on the car.
“Oh, okay,” Lin Yi nodded.
“Okay?” Xiaoxiao didn’t know what Lin Yi was up to. What did he mean?
Tang YIn covered her mouth, smiling.
Xiaoxiao didn’t understand.
Lin Yi drove the car to Xiaoxiao’s door and turned to the alley nearby, and soon reached a gas station.
“I’m almost out of gas too, wait a second,” Lin Yi said faintly, not exposing Xiaoxiao’s lie at all.
But Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was blushing intensely! She was someone who lied without blinking, but that was when she was messing with people- now it was Lin Yi she was dealing with! She wanted to bury herself in the ground!
Lin Yi didn’t expose her directly, but what difference did that make? She never expected for Lin Yi to know that there was a gas station so close, since it was hidden and out of sight- only locals knew about it! Outsiders wouldn’t be able to find it!
But Lin Yi did, and he was pumping gas right now!
Lin Yi walked out and got to work while Xiaoxiao heated up, her face red as she fidgeted, “Aaaah…. What do I do, Yin Yin sis, does he know I lied?”
“Haha…” Tang Yin looked at the fidgeting Xiaoxiao, “That’s not a big deal right?”
“Then he wouldn’t believe what I say in the future…” Xiaoxiao said, worried.
“Haha, it’s okay, he guessed it already,” Tang Yin smiled.
“He guessed it already?!” Xiaopxiao was even more flustered- so Lin Yi had known all along!
After finishing, Lin Yi got back in the car and drove to school, not saying anything.
But that only made Xiaoxiao even more flustered! If Lin Yi were to say something and tease her a bit, or anything at all- she’d feel more at ease.
“So there was a gas station there, I didn’t even know! I’ll go there for gas tonight.” Xiaoxiao said, pretending, “Husband Lin Yi , you’re so good at finding these hidden spots in alleys!”
“Oh, not really, I just noticed it,” Lin Yi said with a smile.
“Haha, I couldn’t notice it…” Xiaoxiao said with a haha.
“Oh, I only noticed it because I saw a receipt from a gas station in your car, so I memorized the address on it,” Lin Yi said.
“Ha?!” Xiaoxiao’s eyes were wide as she stared, her mouth gaping open as she almost hit her head on the ceiling of the car. She stared at Lin Yi, her face burning up- she was going crazy!
“AAAAAAAAH! I can’t live anymore, this is so embarrassing!” Xiaoxiao was going mad, “Can’t you just not expose me, can’t you just let me off the hook! I… i- I’m gonna kill myself…”
“You’re pretty cute,” Lin Yi said with a soft smile as he looked at the rampaging Xiaoxiao.
“Oh? Really?” Xiaoxiao was instantly happy again, her eyes narrowing happily, “Really? Hahaha, Yin Yin sis, did he say I was very cute?”
“Yeah…” Tang Yin gave a smile as well, finally understanding why Mengyao agreed to let Yushu be a small wife- having someone so cute and lively like this in her life- that’d be pretty nice…
Gradually, Tang Yin realized that she had accepted Xiaoxiao! If she were to be able to spend her life with her, that’d be a pleasant thing, except… This was only a thought… Xiaoxiao’s ending would be fatedly tragic…
She couldn’t help but feel sad at the thought.
Xiaoxiao, as if she didn’t know anything was wrong, kept giggling to herself, her eyes and lips all curved in happiness.
Lin Yi really couldn’t connect this Xiaoxiao with the one who made all those wishes in her phone- she was a happy girl in front of everyone, as if she’d be happy anytime, anywhere, and cause others to be happy with her… Behind their backs, she was a fragile girl, bound to a cruel fate…
Lin Yi parked behind the food alley, and when Xiaoxiao got off and saw that messed up Lambo, she couldn’t help but burst out into laughter.
She didn’t want to draw too much attention at school, since a weird trio couple like this would stand out too much. Since she didn’t need to fight Tang Yin for anything anymore, she might as well let Tang Yin and Lin Yi hold hands. She took Tang Yin’s hand instead.
Chapter 1044: Cake Filled With Love
From an outsider’s view, she would look like Tang Yin’s best freind. They wouldn’t suspect she had anything to do with Lin Yi.
It wasn’t until they reached the school building and after Tang Yin went into her classroom did Xiaoxiao become more intimate with Lin Yi. They were almsot entering their classroom soon, and there weren’t many people in the halls, so she didn’t care and put her hand in front of Lin Yi.
“?” Lin Yi blinked, “What?”
“We should hold hands! I stayed back when the big wife was here, but now that she’s gone I should get some attention!” Xiaoxiao said, hasty, “Quickly, quickly, it’s my turn!”
“Ha…” Lin Yi smiled and took her hand. It was only a few steps before they reached the classroom, at which point he would let go.
But that short distance alone was enough to make her happy. She sang a soft tune as she walked in happily with Lin Yi, sitting after Lin Yi like an obedient housewife.
One look at how easily she was satisfied made Lin Yi feel sympathy for her, but there was nothing he could do! He wasn’t medically skilled enough to heal her…
“Lin Yi, honey, I’ve brought something good for you!” Xiaoxiao said happily as she undid her bag and started mumbling to herself.
“Oh?” Lin Yi realized that he was starting to like Xiaoxiao from his heart now. It was also why he wasn’t angry when she lied about her car running out of gas. If it were in the past, however, Lin Yi wouldn’t let her do whatever she wanted like this.
“A homemade cake filled with love!” Xiaoxiao was full of glee as she happily took out a food storage bag, “Here it is, heh heh, my cake of lov- huh?”
Xiaoxiao was enthusiastically about to show Lin Yi her cake of love when she realized it was all squashed! The originally heart shaped cake was now flattened to a completely different look, along with the peaches and strawberries she put!
“Aaaaaah!” Xiaoxiao was going crazy, “I woke up at three to make this, come on!”
Xiaoxiao slapped herslef in the forehead, feeling down. She was a little sleepy when she finished baking, so she just put the cake in her bag and accidentally slept on it- unintentionally using the bag as a pillow!
The cake was still in the bag, so of course this would be the outcome! She forgot about it when she woke up and called Tang Yin, busying herself with makeup…
And of course she wouldn’t remember that she had used a bag as her pillow, along with the cake in it!
Lin Yi felt genuine happiness when he looked at Xiaoxiao- he was touched.
Although Xiaoxiao wrote in her phone that she wanted to make him fall in love with her and die so she could make him sad, Lin Yi didn’t believe that anymore. Who’d go and bake a cake at three in the morning just for this?
“Whatever, I’ll throw it away and make it tomorrow. I’ll use a container this time. Hm, looks like I’ve learned my lesson!” Xiaoxiao said, troubled, “I’m such an idoit, putting it in the bag and using it as a pillow… man.”
“Haha!” Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh after hearing that.
“Hey!” Xiaoxiao pouted.
“Why throw it away? The shape is messed up, not the taste,” Lin Yi took over the food storage bag and opened it, stuffing the cake into his mouth, “I didn’t eat this morning, anyway- I’m pretty hungry. Hey, this tastes good!”
With that, Lin Yi quickly finished the cake she made, not caring about the shape and design.
“Ah?” Xiaoxiao didn’t expect Lin Yi to just eat it like that.
“Still have more?” Lin Yi asked.
“Uh… No, I’ll make more tomorrow,” Xiaoxiao was happy once more. The eyes she looked at Lin Yi with now held a trace of gentleness to them- Lin Yi feeling touched would only make her touched as well.
She herself, wouldn’t eat the cake after it got squashed like that, but Lin Yi didn’t even care and just ate the entire thing, even asking if she had more… This made Xiaoxiao feel that Lin Yi was really, really nice to her. She’d never felt anybody treat her this well since when she was younger, and she never had a relationship before, so now that she’d fallen in love she felt that everything was so perfect! If possible, she really didn’t want to die…
She was really scared now- the more she developed her relationship with Lin Yi, the heavier it got! Their parting would really hurt if they went on like this, and she didn’t want that! She didn’t want to feel pain, and she didn’t want Lin Yi to feel pain!
Before, when she refused to make friends or get into a relationship, it was because she feared the sadness that would follow on that last day, but now… Things changed. Without realizing it, she had friends- Tang Yin, Yushu, these were her friends now… And she had a boyfriend as well, and it felt like the two of them were getting more and more intimate…
She didn’t know what to do.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, wasn’t thinking about those things. After finishing the cake, he gulped down some water and tossed the bag into a trash bin.
“No need to wake up so early to make this, it’s a lot of tourble.” Lin Yi worried for Xiaoxiao’s body, too- she didn’t have long to live for in the first place, and waking up at three in the morning to bake would worsen it.
“It’s alright, I’m happy to make it!” Xiaoxiao shook her head, “I’ll prepare it tonight, and tomorrow morning I’ll bake it, so it’ll be a lot faster since I didn’t prepare it beforehand last time…”
Lin Yi didn’t say anything, not when she insisted like this. If she was happy doing that, then sure.
“Did you contact the racing tournament for Friday night?” LIn Yi changed the topic.
“Yeah, I did!” Xiaoxiao became happy again, “I contacted the people I played racing with before and they helped me sign up, but don’t lose okay, I can’t afford two hundred thousand!”
“Haha, you don’t trust my skill?” Lin Yi wasn’t worried about the races between citizens at all.
“I don’t trust my car…” Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, “Their cars are modified and everything, but mine isnt’!”
Chapter 1045: Wu Chentian’s Invitation
“As long as you trust me,” Lin Yi teased.
“Oh? Of course I trust you, but the car isn’t good enough!” Xiaoxiao said.
“It’s a mountain road- their modiefied cars won’t help them too much there,” Lin Yi shrugged.
“That’s true- they can’t just accelerate on a path like that!” Xiaoxiao relaxed.
Wu Chentian went to get the car from Xiao Wangba the next morning, pleased at the sight of his company on the street which was also two stories high. The sign was great, too, ‘Chentian Trading Company LL’, it really did look cool! He slapped Wangba on the shoulder, “Not bad, good job! Give me the name card.”
“Here!” Wangba didn’t expect that Chentian didn’t care whether the company was earning money- the guy just cared about appearances, and that made him drop his worries. He gave him a golden business card, “Chentian Bro, is it to your liking?”
“Yes, not bad!” Chentian gave it one look before putting it in his pocket. He got on the car and drove to Sun Jingyi’s.
He parked it under her building, and called her. He wanted to give her a surprise, since this was a gift for her, after all. He also remembered that she said once that she liked Audi, but didn’t want one that stood out too much, so she got an Audi A41. In a big city like Songshan, where there were tons of rich people, an Audi A41 was considered commonplace.
After around half an hour, Jingyi came down- but without the usual heavy makeup. Her makeup now put her towards to cute girl look, and this wasn’t what Chentian expected!
He knew that the mature woman look wasn’t her real face, but he didn’t expect for her to be so cute! It’d been so long since he saw her in this style.
He still assumed that she had put all that effort into dressing up for him! It made him extremely happy. He quickly walked over. “You’re so pretty today, Jingyi!”
“Oh…” Obviously, she didn’t dress up for him. As for whom, she knew it herself in her heart… Women dressed up for men they favored – who did she dress up for?
Wu Chentian was already used to the cold attitude Jingyi always treated him with, so he didn’t mind. He quickly walked to his car and opened the door for her, “Jingyi, please get in!”
“?” Jingyi paused, looking at the Audi TT, “This is your car?”
“Yeah, the company earned money, so I bought a car!” Chentian said, feeling proud and satisfied as he showed off his coolness. He didn’t study it or anything, but he did read a book called So Pure So Flirtatious in which the main character was someone who acted cool very effectively. He forgot one thing, however- you can only act cool if you can back it up with strength. If you didn’t have anything to back it up with, then you’d look like an idiot.
“Oh, I’ll drive my own car,” Jingyi rejected, walking to her own car.
Chentian blinked, but remembered that she had never been in his car before. But, after he gave the car to her, she’d want it, right?
He wanted to give it to her now, but thinking that if he gave it to her during lunch, along with Xiaoxiao’s flattering words, he’d look so cool! With that thought, he held himself back from giving it to her now.
If it weren’t for Lin Yi getting invited as well, Jingyi never would’ve accepted Chentian’s invitation. She’d say that she was too busy, and postpone meeting with Chentian.
But Lin Yi’s involvement made her hesitate. It had been so long since she saw him, and now she really wanted to see him- after all, he could be considered as somewhat her partner, and she had interest in him. Meeting him occasioanally like this made her happy.
The two cars went for Songshan High.
Jingyi drove in front, while Chentian drove behind her. She parked the car in the food street at Songshan High- it was here where she first fetched Lin Yi, and she assumed that he just lived around here. She didn’t expect him to actually be a student here.
Jingyi’s car parked beside the Beetle, and Chentian parked his Audi TT beside Jingyi’s Audi A41.
The two got off their cars.
“I’ll call Lin Yi? Where is this place, do we wait for him here?”
“Okay…” Jingyi frowned and subconsciously walked faster when he leaned in. As for why they parked here, it was because she didn’t want to wait at her house with him! This was the place where she fetched Lin Yi last time, true, but she really didn’t want anybody seeing her with this man, it felt like it’d be emabrrassing for her.
But Chentian didn’t feel those emotions of disgust, but only walked by her side as he called Lin Yi.
Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao had just reached the classroom a while ago, and the phone rang. It was an unkown number, but he picked up regardless, “Hello, who aer you?”
“Is this Lin Yi?” Chentian a sked.
“I am. You are?” Lin Yi didn’t recognize his voice- this sort of person wasn’t someone left impressions on him.
“I’m Wu Chentian, I just came to Songshan, with Jingyi! I’d like to have lunch with you and your grilfriend, do you have time? Chentian said.
Jingyi? Girlfriend? Lin Yi paused, and understood that Chentian was probably talking about Xiaoxiao.
He wanted to reject him, but considering Xiaoxiao’s personality, she probably really liked feasts, “Wait, I’ll ask Xiaoxiao.”
“Okay!” Chentian was happy once he knew it was possible. He only needed Xiaoxiao to help him look cool- if it were just Lin Yi, he wouldn’t want that! After all, Lin Yi wouldn’t help him with his coolness act, and would even try to snatch Jingyi away!
Chapter 1046: Destroyed Car
“Xiaoxiao, Wu Chentian called and said he wants to treat us to a feast. Wanna go?” Lin Yi looked at Xiaoxiao.
“Wu Chentian?” Xiaoxiao took a moment, but remembered him. “That Iron Fist Wu? He wants to buy us lunch? Sure, let’s go, let’s go! I love feasts! When?”
“When?” Lin Yi said to Chentian on the phone.
“Right now, we’re at the food street behind Songshan High, I hear you’re nearby?” Chentian said.
“Now. Wanna go?” Lin Yi asked, ignoring the question.
“Yeah!” Xiaoxiao had no interest in school nor studying- she was about to die, she had no time to study! She couldn’t even do college applications!
“Then you guys wait, we’ll come right now.” Lin Yi said to Chentian and hung up.
He didn’t have any positive feelings nor negative feelings when it came to him. He was just some suitor of Jingyi’s, and if there were some conflict between them, it’d just be that instance where he stole his wallet. Although, Lin Yi had also stolen the wallet back as well and Chentian’s loss was bigger! Xiaoxiao also messed with him so hard in Yanjing by making him pay so much for that dinner!
Lin Yi was troubled- what was wrong with this Chentian? Was the lesson last time not enough, now he wanted to buy Xiaoxiao dinner again?
But Jingyi was with him, so Lin Yi thought that he probably just wanted to show Jingyi how he had a girlfriend already, to let her know that he was two timing.
But Lin Yi didn’t care- both Jingyi and him were clear on what their relationship was, he was just pretending to be her lover, and they actually had nothing going on between them.
And so he didn’t mind bringing Xiaoxiao there, as long as she was happy eating. That’d satisfy him, to see her happy and full.
Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao packed up and left. He sent the Miss and Tang Yin texts, telling them that he was bringing Xiaoxiao to eat with a friend, and since both the girls knew the thing with Xiaoxiao, they had no qualms with him bringing her out himself. They only told him to be careful, and to look after Xiaoxiao.
Yufeng, being the practitioner he was, was able to walk after his injured butt was treated. He was from House Yu, so naturally he had Miracle Doctor Kang and Miracle Doctor Guan’s injury medicines.
But Panghu lost one of his testicles, so there was no saving that. He would have to be a man with one ball from now on.
The three left the hospital this morning, and with Miracle Doctor Kang’s golden creation medicine, they were recovering fast, though time was still needed to go back to their healthy state.
Yufeng was worried about his car, however- that was a new Lambo he just bought, without even a licence plate- what if those vendors scratched it back at the food street?
And so the three quickly got on a taxi and headed to the Lambo.
But, the car that was parked in his spot wasn’t his Lambo, but an Audi TT!
“Where’s my car?” Yufeng blinked.
“Master Xie, it’s over there…” Congmin said weakly as he pointed to the wall.
“Wha?!” Yufeng froze as he looked at his car- it was riddled with dents and holes, squeezed at he wall with the paint all messed up! This wasn’t a new car, this was destroyed metal!
“My Lamborghini!!” Yufeng quickly ran over, his heart aching! He was rich, but his wealth was finite! He wanted to get some girls using this car, but he hadn’t even used it for one day and it got all messed up! “Who did this? Who? Who destroyed my car?!”
“Master Xie, I think it’s proabably the owner of this Audi TT…” Congming said, analyzing, “These three parking spots are the only proper parking spots, so now that they’re full the only place left was the spot at the wall, and our car probably came afterwards and blocked it, so they had to move the car over there…”
“Oh? Isn’t this Audi TT Feng Xiaoxiao’s? Did she mess my car up, is she that strong?” Yufeng felt that the analysis made perfect sense, but how did she break his car?
“It was probably Lin Yi! Lin Yi’s a practitioner, so he would’ve been able to do this, and Feng Xiaoxaio was probably the one who ordered him to do so!”
“Fuck! I haven’t even punished him yet, and now he’s stepping all over me! Feng Xiaoxiao, sooner or later I’m gonna push you onto my bed and mess you up!” Yufeng gritted his teeth, “Break this car! Destroy both Lin Yi and Xaixoaio’s car! That Beetle is Lin Yi’s!”
“Wait!” Congming waved his hand, stopping the raging Yufeng, “Master Xie, please, calm down!”
“Oh? What, I can’t fight back even when they’re stepping all over me?”
“No, Master Xie, I think that Lin Yi’s car would be better left alone!” Congming said, “Master Xie, Lin Yi is a practitioner- he wouldn’t just let things go if you destroy his car!”
“He’s a practitioner, so am I! He’s just an early phase Mystic, I’m already early phase peak- I’m not scared of him!” Yufeng hmphed coldly.
“But you’re hiding your strength right now, Master Xie! You can’t let him know, it’d ruin your plans!” Congming said.
“Oh right- I almost messed up!” Yufeng said. That was true- if Lin Yi came to him to cause trouble after his car got messed up, they’d have to fight- he couldn’t let that happen after just two days, it wouldn’t benefit his family! Even if he were to kill Lin Yi he had to make sure they understood the background that was supporting him, for his family’s sake!
