"Master, they're all waiting for you, including Sachiko!" Ito Sachiko had also stripped off her clothes, her perfect body trembling with excitement. Every physical reaction indicated her extreme excitement, even her nipples were swollen to their largest and most beautiful shape.
However, her expression, like the other blue demons, was one of sacred and joyful anticipation, without a trace of lewd allure. In that expectant expression, a warm glow of familial affection shone faintly.
As Wang Xiaoyin entered the water, the surface suddenly trembled, the clear water abruptly turning azure, just like the Azure Pool where they obtained the beast spirits, an eerie blue that seemed to make even the clouds churn. The blue demons stood in the water, their blue hair swaying, their necks outstretched, their cries soft and gentle, like venomous snakes whispering sweet nothings to their lovers, lingering for a long time.
Wang Xiaoyin seemed both shocked and moved by the scene. His blue hair suddenly unfurled in the water, letting out a long, mournful cry, just like theirs. However, his voice was loud and powerful, like an emperor summoning his concubines in the harem, perfectly harmonizing with their soft moans.
The entire pool stirred. Their bodies, supple as snakes, scrambled towards Wang Xiaoyin, their long, dark blue hair reaching him before their bodies, entwining around his hair. They moaned, laughed, and screamed, moving freely through the water, their bodies caressed by Wang Xiaoyin's long blue hair. They
all moved, all swam, a thick layer of blue mist shrouding the pool, gathering and thickening until the snow-white flesh within was no longer visible. Only the joyful cries pierced the thick mist, soaring into the hazy blue sky.
A strange layer of colorful clouds had gathered in the sky, obscuring the gentle sun. The clouds gradually thickened, becoming a dark, oppressive mass, losing their initial alluring beauty. Suddenly, the dark clouds were torn apart by blinding fire dragons, and dozens of bolts of lightning roared towards the group playing in the azure pool.
"Boom!" The thunder roared, startling everyone in the pool. They looked up at the power of the lightning, then relaxed. This scene was common at their gatherings, like a legendary heavenly tribulation; whenever a powerful force gathered, these colorful clouds would appear. This had been a recurring theme in legends spanning thousands of years.
The fierce, crimson lightning inexplicably stopped a thousand meters in the air, blocked by layers of misty water, like a barrier. Through the conductivity and decomposition properties of water, it successfully decomposed the lightning into invisible electricity, storing it. This device for absorbing lightning was beyond human capability. Wang Xiaoyin had asked Xingzi about it, but she only pointed to her head, unable to explain the true reason.
Wang Xiaoyin knew she could communicate with the lustful spirit within her, but as Xingzi said, the true meaning could only be understood through personal perception, and was difficult to explain in words. Therefore, he was no longer surprised by strange occurrences. After
playing in the water for a long time, they all came ashore and entered a secluded courtyard in an orderly fashion. There were the most spacious and comfortable bedrooms, a place where hundreds of people could fondly reminisce. Hundreds of snow-white, youthful bodies were no longer as agile and carefree as they had been in the water; some of the blue demons needed the support of their companions to walk, their faces etched with lustful desire.
This fierce battle didn't end until dusk. The first to run out was Lan Jiu, completely naked, her eyes red, angrily crying as she left. The second was Wang Xiaoyin, who chased after Lan Jiu with a face full of apology. Then came the languid and alluring Xingzi, who barely had the strength to stand, but still gritted her teeth and strangely chased after Jiu. The other blue demons were all soundly asleep in the house.
"Why doesn't Master want me? Waaah! He even took advantage of the young 207, why won't he touch me? Why?" Lan Jiu ran into a small garden, climbed onto a smooth bluestone in the middle of the flowerbed, and wailed. "I received the same training as them, even more diligently than them, why is it that only Lan Jiu is rejected? Do you know how painful it is for me... Waaah!"
Among the Blue Demons, Lan Jiu was definitely a special existence. She was spoiled, willful, mischievous, and adorable. She dared to tease anyone, wanted to learn everything, and had tried every kind of punishment. Instructor Xingzi punished her the lightest and least. Master Wang Xiaoyin spoiled her the most, covering up for her strange mistakes and often sleeping with her naked, but they never crossed that final line.
Many people didn't understand, and Wang Xiaoyin didn't understand either. He attributed this feeling to the hateful lustful spirit within him. He was clearly interested in this sexy and beautiful little girl, but he couldn't bring himself to do anything lewd or sadistic. Therefore, every gathering was both the one Lan Jiu looked forward to the most and the one that disappointed her the most. This time, she finally couldn't bear the torment and rejection of her desires and ran out crying.
Wang Xiaoyin, who followed closely behind, heard everything, and he knew that Lan Jiu was deliberately saying all this to him. "Sigh, Xiao Jiu, there are so many things that can't be explained clearly. So many things are strange, aren't they?"
"I don't care, punish me, kill me, anyway, none of you like Lan Jiu, I'm the only one who likes to cause trouble for you, boohoo, none of you like me!" She said this because she heard Xingzi's footsteps, and compared to Xingzi, she was still a little afraid of Xingzi's role as an instructor.
"The bluestone is too cold, let's go back to the room with me." No matter how much she acted up, Wang Xiaoyin couldn't feel annoyed. This magnanimity and tolerance was something he had never experienced with others, and he felt that his emotions were very great. As he spoke, he hugged the naked Lan Jiu who was crawling on the bluestone.
"No, I won't listen to you anymore! Get rid of me, you..." Lan Jiu kicked and bit him playfully, but without any real force, just pretending.
"Come back to Paradise City with me tonight," Wang Xiaoyin said to her.
Lan Jiu immediately stopped her tantrum and her nonsensical ramblings, but said, "Hmph, I don't care!" When she was angry, she never called herself "slave," and she always threatened to leave Lan Yao, but she never actually did it.
Seeing that they were alright, Xingzi said, "Take her to my room. I have some things to discuss with my master."
"Okay," Wang Xiaoyin nodded in agreement. He still needed to learn the skills of invisibility and concealing a knife. Although he had heard about these things from the Lan Yao, he would feel more at ease if Xingzi guided him when he actually learned them.
Lan Jiu pretended to be asleep, holding Wang Xiaoyin tightly. Listening to Xingzi's demonstration and explanation, Wang Xiaoyin quickly understood the trick. When Sachiko taught the other Blue Fairies, she only told them how to do it, never explaining the underlying principles. Therefore, Wang Xiaoyin never learned the true essence of this skill from the Blue Fairies.
"The master asked Sachiko to investigate some of his former lovers, but we haven't found them yet. However, based on the current information, the situation isn't very optimistic..." Sachiko cautiously glanced at Wang Xiaoyin's expression, and seeing that he hadn't changed at all, she continued, "After all, they didn't have a deep relationship with the master. In today's city, this kind of situation is very common. Fortunately, the women the master cares about still yearn for him and haven't done anything improper."
"Hehe, that's good. It saves me a lot of trouble. You must be wondering why I'm not sad?"
Sachiko nodded, puzzled. This didn't fit her possessive master's personality.
“Without emotional investment, there is no heartbreak from betrayal!” Wang Xiaoyin tilted his head and laughed. “So, I feel no sadness at all; instead, I feel a sense of relief. But if the woman I love most betrayed me, well, like Sachiko, I would be unable to sleep, unable to eat, and even want to kill, to destroy the world…”
“Ah? Master…” Upon hearing Wang Xiaoyin’s words, the still naked Sachiko trembled with emotion. She crawled towards him, licking his feet and thighs with her soft tongue. “I am merely Master’s plaything and property. Knowing how much Master cares about Sachiko, I will definitely work harder to share Master’s burdens.”
She never said anything like "I would never betray you," because she had never even considered what betrayal meant. From birth, she received orthodox sex slave training, destined to have only one master in her life. However, due to a series of coincidences, before she could recognize a master, she encountered something unacceptable and incomprehensible, leading her to escape Japan and be taken as a pet by Wang Xiaoyin, who was possessed by a lustful spirit.
"Good girl! Get up and call Lan Wu and Lan Shi in. They need to handle things in the jewelry industry in Paradise City. It's getting late; we have to go back to Paradise for a banquet. I promised that little girl." Wang Xiaoyin patted Xingzi's pert, snowy buttocks, urging her to get dressed.
"Okay. Lan Shi has been acquiring strange, mutated stones all over the world these past few days, spending hundreds of billions. According to her, she's already hidden all the most promising gemstones in the world, destined to become tomorrow's jewelry stars, in her master's jewelry warehouse." Xingzi smiled happily, donned a semi-transparent black robe, and went to the courtyard to call Lan Wu and Lan Shi.
"Little Jiu, still pretending to be asleep? Are you not bringing any luggage? Or do you like stealing other people's underwear?" Seeing she was still pretending, Wang Xiaoyin grabbed her plump breasts and said, "Wearing other people's underwear will deform you, and it'll make you unbearably itchy all over, haha!"
"Ah! How did Master know?" Lan Jiu clearly remembered the time she stole Lan San's underwear, the unbearable itching all over her body. Everyone was angry that she stole underwear and didn't tell her how to relieve the itch, leaving her soaking in the pool for three or four days.
"Hurry up! Even if you don't bring anything, you should at least put on some clothes. I won't wait for you if you're late!" Wang Xiaoyin had no choice but to use her trump card. Lan Jiu was indeed frightened and jumped up, running towards her bedroom at an unprecedented speed.
The setting sun—when you see it, it's dusk every day.
Wang Xiaoyin took Lan Wu, Lan Shi, and Lan Jiu back to Paradise City. At the maglev train station, the crowd surged, but Lan Jiu clung to Wang Xiaoyin like a leech, acting like a spoiled child. But she was no longer a child; voluptuous, alluring, and radiant, she was a graceful young woman.
"Hmph, Master is biased! He insists we sisters hide, yet he clings to Lan Jiu!" Lan Wu pouted from the shadows, very proud of her figure. Hiding in the shadows was cruel. Although her words were somewhat defiant, her tone was as sweet and soft as honey, making it impossible for any man to be angry with her.
Lan Shi quietly tugged at her, urging, "Quickly apologize to Master! Being by Master's side is a great blessing; why are you still not satisfied!"
"That's just how it is! I won't apologize!" Lan Wu's voice was soft and gentle, completely devoid of her previous fierceness; these words were clearly an apology and a plea for forgiveness.
"Sigh!" Wang Xiaoyin sighed bitterly, somewhat bewildered. What was the reason for all this? And why did these blue demon sex slaves exist? If they were to break free from their control, each of them would be a stunningly talented and extraordinary beauty, capable of causing chaos and upheaval in the world. Their unruly upbringing has long made them a dangerous force in society. Unlike other women who are jealous and competitive, this is a consequence of Sachiko's upbringing. However, their inherent feminine nature cannot be eradicated, as evidenced by their current comparisons.
Hearing her master's helpless sigh, Lan Jiu was startled and secretly blamed herself for her willfulness. She quickly said sweetly, "Fifth Sister, it's because your figure is too perfect that Master is afraid other men will have nosebleeds when they see you, so she made you hide. Tenth Sister is noble, gentle, elegant, and graceful, like a princess. If meddlesome reporters saw her, they would think she was a princess from the Southeast Islands visiting heaven! I'm the smallest and ugliest here, so Master felt comfortable letting me run around, right, Master?" Lan
Wu regretted her decision upon hearing Wang Xiaoyin's sigh, blaming herself for being too demanding. It was already incredibly difficult for other blue demons to be transferred to Master's side, and even then, it depended on their individual performances. Now, having just finished a gathering, being summoned to her master's side was indeed, as Lan Shi had said, a tremendously happy thing. Hearing Lan Jiu's words now, she felt they made perfect sense, and her slight displeasure vanished, replaced by a great deal of self-reproach and panic.
"Sigh, what a hassle. You all have a point. Women are all troublesome creatures. It would be better to raise a few dogs or cats… uh, cats are out of the question, I hate cats!" Wang Xiaoyin muttered, pointing to a blue Coral sports car not far away. "That's Lan San's sports car. You three can go back to your place in the city center. I'll walk by myself!"
"Master?" The three blue demons panicked. This was not a good thing. Were they disliked by their master? Were they about to fall out of favor?
"Alright, stop bothering me!" After each gathering, perhaps after the most important condition was met for her beast spirit, Wang Xiaoyin would sleep for a while, clearly reverting to her original personality—a quiet, solitary type.
Just like when he was a child, he would sit quietly in the house tending the fire, walk alone by the stream, secretly shed tears, foolishly wait for his senior sister's smile, and anxiously endure punishment in the cave. He needed to walk alone now. If he had followed him quietly like the Blue Demons before, none of this would have happened.
"Master?" The three Blue Demons were all annoyed. "Master rarely gets angry!"
Wang Xiaoyin hailed a taxi, ignoring the Blue Demons' pleas from the shadows, and slipped inside alone. "Heavenly Vault!" He casually gave an address, the place where he stored his things.
He had just learned the secret arts of invisibility and concealing weapons from Xingzi, and it was time for him to take out his defensive weapon. His weapon was a black short sword, only a little over a foot long, without a blade, but with an extremely sharp point. It also had a strange concealment property: wounds inflicted by it were difficult to heal.
Wang Xiaoyin held the black dagger and smiled with satisfaction. That familiar feeling had returned; after all, this dagger had been with him for over ten years, from when he could barely walk, from his first day chopping wood, to his first time carving ornaments. There was no scabbard; near the hilt were two ancient golden characters, strangely beautiful like patterns. Only now could Wang Xiaoyin recognize them—the two characters were—"Godslayer."
Wang Xiaoyin bit his index finger, using his blood to draw a talisman on the Godslayer dagger. A flash of blood, and it vanished without a trace. He closed his eyes, seemingly feeling the bloodthirsty, violent spirit of the dagger merging into his body. Opening his eyes, it was indeed gone. With a thought, the Godslayer dagger suddenly appeared in his hand. "Haha, now I can carry weapons with me! Damn it, those old bastards from the Illusion Sword Sect never taught me any of this. They wouldn't even teach me such a simple spell, and they even ruined my years of hard-earned internal energy. Humph, one day I'll slaughter them all!"
Among a pile of gems, one thing caught his eye: the "Retro" game helmet. It was unbelievable that something he'd paid a high price to store in the Heavenly Court's vault could be so cheap. Wang Xiaoyin wanted to replay "Retro," so he casually picked it up.
Most of these gems were things Wang Xiaoyin had picked up in caves near the Azure Pool. He usually used them to practice his carving skills and didn't care much about their value. Among them was a pair of jade bracelets—dragon and phoenix feather patterns—which he would stroke for a moment every time he came. He could feel the powerful energy fluctuations within, but he could never control them. He had tried various methods to unlock the bracelet's secret: burning, freezing, putting it in the toilet, kicking it, even smashing it with a hammer—but nothing had changed the bracelet in the slightest. In the end, nothing was done, and it was left to languish in the warehouse once more.
Realizing it was getting late, he grabbed the helmet and left. The separate safe deposit box locked automatically, and after going through hundreds of security checks, he finally stepped out of the Heavenly Vault. The setting sun hadn't yet faded, but the full moon had already risen. Remembering Su Feifei's instructions, Wang Xiaoyin suddenly felt anxious. He hailed a taxi and hurried to the Su residence. He turned on his phone along the way; there were over ten messages, all from Su Feifei scolding him for not turning his phone on.
Upon entering the Su residence, the first person to pop out was surprisingly Hou Ci. He had just returned from vacation, his smug grin unchanged, and he chuckled as he stopped Wang Xiaoyin: "Boss, I'll sell you two pieces of information. Good news for $1000, bad news for $500. Which do you want to hear first?"
Wang Xiaoyin saw that he had become smarter, specifying the currency before negotiating; otherwise, throwing him a few thousand dollars would have been quite a treat. He immediately sneered, "Hmph, so poor you can't even afford underwear, but you can't afford condoms?"
"Hey, boss, don't be so blunt! You know I just got back from home. My wife likes to mess around, and she spent all my money in the blink of an eye. That's why I'm here to ask for some money for cigarettes!"
"I've never heard of you having a wife. When did you rob her?" Wang Xiaoyin knew he liked to mess around and certainly didn't lack the thousand-plus dollars on him, so with the same playful attitude, he tossed him 2000. "Give me 500
in change!" [Hou Ci from Wan Juan Bookstore immediately darted back several feet after receiving the money, keeping a wary distance from Wang Xiaoyin, then laughed triumphantly: "It's 2000! I won! All of you come out! Haha, according to the 1:5 odds, the three of you get 10,000 each. Hurry up and give it to me!"
Sophie, Ruth, and King Kong emerged from behind the flower bushes, looking dejected and unable to lift their heads.
Seeing their expressions, Hou Ci became even more smug: "Haha, do you know where you went wrong?"
The three shook their heads, then raised their heads, staring at Hou Ci with questioning eyes.
"Let me tell you, it's curiosity. Wang Xiaoyin's curiosity is a hundred times more terrifying than a three-year-old's. So, I'm sure I'll win this bet!" Hou Ci laughed loudly, stretching out his hands to collect the money.
"Is that so?" Wang Xiaoyin's sinister voice came from behind Hou Ci, feeling something cold and uncomfortable pressed against his neck. "Is my curiosity really that strong? Tell me, who used this to make the bet?"
Hearing Wang Xiaoyin's unfriendly tone, the other three immediately pointed at Hou Ci in unison, casually stuffing their wallets back in, seemingly not intending to pay.
"Boss, when did your... your lightness skill become so amazing? I'm completely defeated. Cough cough, please take the knife away. If I accidentally lose my head, my wife will be heartbroken." Hou Ci pleaded lewdly, completely lacking his initial arrogance.
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me, what were the good news and bad news you mentioned earlier?" Wang Xiaoyin glared at Hou Ci, pressing him urgently.
Sophie, Ruth, and King Kong were about to faint. Even at this point, he was still asking about good and bad news; his curiosity was extraordinary. They felt they hadn't lost in the end; having spent so much time with Wang Xiaoyin, they had never noticed this trait of his.
Hou Ci's eyes darted around, and he immediately chuckled, "Hehe, it's like this. The bad news is, I'll use your curiosity to win a bet; the good news is, we'll split the winnings fifty-fifty. I'm telling you the truth, boss!"
"Hmm, I'd be a fool to believe you!" Wang Xiaoyin sheathed her God-Slaying Blade and gave Hou Ci a sharp flick on the head. "Why are
you only coming back now? You didn't even call?" Su Feifei pouted and retorted, "That's what I should be asking you! Why are you only coming back now? Your phone was off!"
"Hey, silly girl. I'm talking to Hou Ci, don't presume to interrupt!" Wang Xiaoyin squinted, watching Su Feifei's face quickly turn red, thinking she was about to get angry. But instead, she shyly lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes.
Su Feifei was about to explode in anger, but upon hearing the words "presume to get angry," she was momentarily stunned, as if her most secret thoughts had been discovered, and she couldn't muster any temper.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Hou Ci escaped a little further away from Wang Xiaoyin, laughing as he replied, "Haha, you didn't hit me either, so we're evenly matched. Besides, what if my wife hears your voice or accidentally sees your picture and gets seduced by you? So, I've decided I'll never call you from home again. And, from now on, we'll keep a safe distance. Tomorrow I'll be transferred back to the Arbitration Department of the Sky Shield Bodyguards, and maybe I'll even become your boss!"
"Hehe, this poor kid, I've beaten him silly! King Kong, how come you're willing to come out of the training room?" Wang Xiaoyin ignored the laughing and jumping Hou Ci and glanced at the honest King Kong.
"Boss, I refined the energy released by the beast spirit, and my martial arts improved a bit. Now I'm back to normal, so I don't have to stay in the room all the time." King Kong scratched his head and smiled modestly.
Wang Xiaoyin looked closely and was greatly surprised because he could no longer detect King Kong's level. He was much higher; King Kong's current power was level 6, and he could release an aura, while Wang Xiaoyin was only level 5, so of course he couldn't detect him. Wang Xiaoyin felt a pang of bitterness. Why wasn't the beast spirit within her helping to improve her skills? She first gave Mi Xiang a good scolding; it was Mi Xiang who had broken her newly achieved balance, pinning her hopes on the next full moon to regain it through that twisted method.
"Heh heh, damn it, martial arts these days are developing in leaps and bounds; I can't keep up." Wang Xiaoyin's expression was strange, whether it was praise or self-deprecation.
"Xiao Yin, hurry up and come inside to change your clothes. We've prepared everything for you. This is an important banquet, so we can't be too shabby. Fei Fei and I have been busy with this all day, hurry up!" Ruth reached out and snatched the game helmet from Wang Xiaoyin's arms. "Still holding a game helmet? What time is it? If you don't get ready soon, it'll be too late."
"Yeah, yeah. Thanks to Sister Ruth for reminding me, I almost missed it. This is my best friend's most important ceremony. Come on, Ruth and I picked out a tuxedo for you. It's very beautiful, and it will definitely suit you." Su Feifei happily grabbed Wang Xiaoyin's other hand and skipped and hopped into the house.
Hou Ci rolled his eyes, staring at their backs and chuckled, "Tsk tsk, I've only been home for a few days, and their relationship has already developed to this point. Boss really knows how to handle women, but, hehe!"
Jin Gang quietly slipped back to his room. He didn't want to be alone with Hou Ci; he might remember the bet and ask him for the money. Ten thousand yuan could buy good things; back in their small mountain village, that was enough for their family to live on for over ten years. So, King Kong saved wherever he could, and ran away when he couldn't.
Sure enough, Hou Ci realized what was happening and roared in anguish, "King Kong, you haven't paid yet! And there's Fei'er and Ruth! Don't run, give them to me now!"
He unleashed the full power of the Tianji Sect's lightness skill, like a natural whirlwind, sweeping towards King Kong. King Kong's martial arts had recently improved dramatically, making him not so easy to deal with. Reaching the door, Hou Ci saw the man's claws closing in and suddenly stopped. His hands moved as if plucking flowers—a combination of the Immovable King Mudra and the Flower-Plucking Finger. More than ten arms materialized behind him, each finger poised to strike. Hou Ci was so frightened he flew several meters backward, screaming in mid-air, "Damn it, how do you know Zen hand gestures?"
"Hehe!" King Kong chuckled, not answering, then abruptly turned and fled back to the bedroom, locking the two alloy doors behind him. "Just kidding!"
Hou Ci was utterly bewildered. He was always the one fooling King Kong; he never imagined he'd be fooled by someone who knew how to use martial arts. Could it be that higher martial arts skills lead to higher intelligence? Hou Ci shook his head, dismissing the strange and terrifying thought. Dejected, he flew to the rooftop to ponder his future plans. He was returning to the Tiandun Company's arbitration department tomorrow; many plans were already underway, some unavoidable.
When Wang Xiaoyin heard about the tuxedo, she sensed something was amiss. A simple suit would suffice for an ordinary banquet; why the need for a classically aristocratic tuxedo? Wearing these things is no match for a few sets of ancient Eastern robes and scholar's gowns. Upon seeing the tailcoat, Wang Xiaoyin immediately swallowed back the sarcastic remarks he had prepared. It seemed that Su Feifei, usually so frugal, had spared no expense, preparing for him a genuine Italian designer suit—Valentino, a European brand renowned for its opulent luxury.
Valentino favors the purest colors, with vibrant hues being a hallmark of its brand. Valentino's craftsmanship is exquisite, with every detail meticulously crafted. Valentino symbolizes a luxurious and extravagant lifestyle, highly favored by celebrities who strive for perfection. Moreover, Wang Xiaoyin's suit was semi-handmade, with many details hand-sewn by master craftsmen. This semi-handmade style is highly sought after by the middle class who crave luxury, offering both a price advantage and the prestige of handcrafted designer clothing.
"Hey, Fei'er, whose young lady's coming-of-age banquet is this today?" Wang Xiaoyin stood there as the two women dressed him up. He could see that the two women had really put a lot of effort into dressing him, and the clothes fit him perfectly, as if they were all handmade.
"Hehe, don't be scared if I don't tell you. She's the only daughter of Wang Yuanzhe, the richest man in Heaven, a super-duper beauty that all the wealthy young masters in the entire Coral Kingdom want to pursue, the hot-tempered, eccentric, and super-infatuated Miss Wang Qinghe. How about it, scared now?" Su Feifei carefully observed Wang Xiaoyin's expression. It's always better to be prepared for some things, like matters between women.
"Uh... Fei'er, is that how you introduce a friend? I'm scared by your expression... It's like you're introducing a ripe poppy, and I'm like a drug addict, afraid I'll pick it." Wang Xiaoyin smiled and tilted her head.
Ruth chuckled and muttered beside her, "She is the ripe poppy, and you are the complete drug addict. Sigh, Fei'er miscalculated a bit." Fortunately, her voice was very soft, and the two who were verbally attacking each other didn't hear her.

"Hurry up and put them on! Do you expect me to put your shoes on for you? Don't forget, I'm the mistress of this house. You're just my bodyguard and a temporary actor. Humph, if it weren't for the green-headed flies at the banquet bothering me, I wouldn't have taken you!" Su Feifei's thoughts had been guessed again, and she angrily rambled on. She felt that she couldn't hide anything from Wang Xiaoyin, and that she was a failure as a woman.
"Oh? Green-headed flies? Does that mean Miss Fei'er is going to a human flesh feast? That's great! And the main character of this banquet, Miss Wang Qinghe, must be a demon queen from the ancient tomb, hahaha." Wang Xiaoyin joked nonchalantly. He vaguely felt that this banquet was very important, but also very troublesome, as if it would be terrible if he didn't go.
“Those aristocratic young masters are worse than greenbottle flies! They’re all slick with oil and powder, but their minds are filthy. They’re all so self-important, looking down on actresses and treating us like playthings. Humph, I hate them the most!” Sophie rambled on, expressing her hatred for the aristocratic young masters.
Wang Xiaoyin, impeccably dressed, stood up from the sofa and walked to Ruth with a gentlemanly smile, saying, “It’s a pleasure to see you here, my most beautiful princess. May I invite you to dance?”
The two women were stunned the moment he stood up, their beautiful eyes sparkling with countless tiny hearts and moons. “Infatuated” wouldn’t even begin to describe them; “obsessed” would be more accurate. Clothes make the man. This was the first time Wang Xiaoyin had worn genuine designer clothes in front of them. This outfit was a hundred times more beautiful than his tattered bodyguard uniform. He looked like a prince from a fairy tale, stepping out of a painting—stunning and unsure how to react.
Wang Xiaoyin considered himself a gentleman, assuming the open and passionate Ruth would pounce on him for a dance. However, after bowing for a while without any movement, he sighed in frustration. Then, he heard both women scream simultaneously, rush towards him, blink their eyes, stare at him blankly, and then remain motionless.
"Stop! What are you doing?" Wang Xiaoyin was annoyed. Wearing this outfit made him uncomfortable, but for Su Feifei's sake, he'd endured it for the night. He hadn't expected to encounter these two idiots so soon after getting dressed, clinging to him without saying a word.
"Um, um, I'm dancing with you!" Hearing Wang Xiaoyin's shout, the two infatuated girls finally half-awake, mumbling incoherently, but speaking in unison.
"Stop fantasizing! You haven't moved an inch!" Wang Xiaoyin stared at their beautiful faces, slowly nodding, finally understanding the reason. This expression was exactly the same as it had been years ago when he first accompanied Mo Xin to a private banquet for wealthy socialites. All those beautiful, haughty women wore the same look. "Ugh, never mind, it's not your fault!"
Wang Xiaoyin fumed, making his blue hair even more disheveled, but the smooth, shiny, tousled strands added a touch of untamed charm to his noble bearing. Every time he managed to look presentable, many bold and beautiful women would swarm like moths to a flame, burning with desire. Now, he no longer possessed the smugness of his youth; he was troubled by this kind of lust. After hearing Xingzi's report that nearly half of his former lovers had betrayed him, he became even more cautious about such matters. Fortunately, he was now facing Fei'er and Ruth, whom he still liked. If it were at the banquet today…
After much persuasion, he finally managed to bring them back to their senses and continue tidying Fei'er's evening gown. Fei'er wore a black evening gown with a pretty satin bow tied at the waist. The small bow, full of sweet reverie, seemed to dance with the woman's thoughts, presenting a uniquely charming style. She wore only the double-faced angel pendant given to her by Wang Xiaoyin around her neck, without earrings. Her pink curly hair cascaded naturally, perfectly matching Wang Xiaoyin's free-spirited style.
Because it was a full moon night, Ruth couldn't go out. Disappointed, she looked at Wang Xiaoyin's devilishly handsome figure, fantasizing about dancing with him at a banquet with thousands of people—how many women would be jealous and envious! But then again, there would be other opportunities, and thinking of this, she smiled happily.
Wang Xiaoyin was driving, but he frowned and said to Su Feifei in the back, "Feifei, we're dressed alright, but this car looks like an antique! It's a pink, girly car, manufactured twenty years ago. I'm afraid it'll be embarrassing to drive it into the Wang family home."
"My mom gave it to me. The company took back my last Lincoln, and now I'm saving up some money to hold a concert, so this is it. I'm not planning on changing cars anytime soon," Su Feifei said nonchalantly. She felt the car was a minor issue; as long as she and Wang Xiaoyin got out of the car, no one would dare look down on her.
"Since it's a gift from your mother, you should take even better care of it. You should put it in the garage and treat it like a precious treasure. We'll change cars tomorrow!" Wang Xiaoyin said.
"That sounds nice, but where would I get the extra money? Unless you extort another 2 million for me, I'll have to wait until I become famous before I can get a new car. Hehe, maybe by then a big company like Tianmei Entertainment will try to sign me and give me a Thunderbird or a Divine Phoenix..."
Wang Xiaoyin shook his head, focusing on driving and letting her daydream in the back. However, when it came to extortion, Wang Xiaoyin laughed. That was his specialty, and he might actually find a few more unlucky guys to help Fei'er get a new car!
The Wang family mansion wasn't far from here; following the flow of luxury cars in the upscale villa area, he could easily find the right address. Five years ago, the Wang family's assets, according to a Forbes report, ranked third on the Coral Country's rich list with an astronomical figure of several hundred billion. Many people believed that this was a very conservative figure, and Wang Yuanzhe's true assets might be several times higher than the published figures. In any case, his assets firmly held the top spot in the world.
The banquet tonight was packed with people, so much so that the wide highway nearby, built specifically for villas and luxury homes, was completely jammed. The cars stuck in traffic were mostly world-famous luxury vehicles like BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, and Ferraris, with even some high-performance models like the Volkswagen Jeep, Volkswagen Coral, and Volkswagen Thunderbird among them. Even the Shenfeng RV was stuck. Wang Xiaoyin's antique car, worth tens of thousands of yuan, was an anomaly, its pink exterior adorable, but unfortunately, it looked somewhat dejected and lifeless amidst the other luxury cars.
The sheer number of attendees clearly exceeded the Wang family's expectations. Hundreds of traffic police were on high alert, busily directing traffic through the congested streets. The two large parking lots they had prepared were already full, and the temporary parking space in the community square was almost completely filled.
Wang Xiaoyin, bored, chuckled at Su Feifei, "Fei'er, we might as well walk! The Wang family has so many guests, thousands of cars alone, and the people inside... hehe, we might not have enough for dinner, I'm starving!"
"Hehe, don't worry," Su Feifei replied, "they have an open-air plaza, specially prepared for large banquets, capable of holding tens of thousands. They have everything, you definitely won't go hungry. With the Wang family's wealth, it would be a joke to let their guests go hungry!" Su Feifei wasn't worried at all, covering her mouth and giggling. She even imagined Wang Xiaoyin's miserable state of screaming and yelling because he couldn't find food at the Wang family's banquet plaza.
Wang Xiaoyin had no idea what Su Feifei was thinking. Seeing her laughing incessantly, he was about to ask when he suddenly saw the cars ahead move forward, so he followed, joining a tributary of the convoy and heading towards a newly rented parking lot.
Wang Xiaoyin chose a parking space close to the road, thinking it would be convenient to retrieve his car after the banquet. Just as he was about to park, a sudden, powerful impact came from his left rear, knocking his car out of position. Unable to control the force, he crashed into a black Shenfeng limousine in front of him.
"Ah! The car Mom gave me?!" Su Feifei, of course, felt the strong impact. Even a fool could guess what had happened. In her panic, she didn't have time to recover from the shock; her eyes filled with tears as she hurriedly got out to check the damage.
Wang Xiaoyin didn't know what to say. On the way here, he had been thinking about how to extort money, but he hadn't expected the opportunity to come so quickly. He wondered if fate was kindly helping him or deliberately causing trouble. If it was kind, a light touch would have sufficed; why such a violent collision? This was a keepsake from Feifei's mother, priceless.
And to top it off, he had crashed into the black Shenfeng limousine. While those RVs weren't afraid of gunfire or light tanks, even a scratch on the paint would be incredibly valuable—at least more expensive than his own car. What's even more troublesome is that the people inside the car are generally not easy to mess with, definitely not some nouveau riche with billions in assets.
Seeing Su Feifei's eyes slightly red as she staggered out of the car, fearing something might happen to her, he quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and followed her out. The culprit who caused the accident, after taking the parking space, actually walked away with his female companion as if nothing had happened, showing no intention of apologizing. Wang Xiaoyin understood that in this day and age, to gain respect, one needed to have a show of force and intimidation. That young man was driving a silver-gray Thunderbird sports car, naturally looking down on his antique car worth tens of thousands of yuan. But that guy was too arrogant; based on his attitude alone, Wang Xiaoyin wouldn't let it go.
He saw Su Feifei painfully examining the dented left rear light area, where a large patch of paint had peeled off, the beautiful yellow taillight shattered into dust, and the alloy bodywork tragically torn into a polygonal dent. Afraid she would cut her fingers, Wang Xiaoyin grabbed her hand, preventing her from going over there. He yelled at the elegantly dressed young couple who were about to leave, "Stop! Are you just going to run away without a word?"
The man glanced at Wang Xiaoyin contemptuously, then revealed a hint of jealousy and disdain, arrogantly saying, "Are you talking about me? I'm leaving openly and honestly, who dares to say I'm running away!" The woman he was holding stared intently at Wang Xiaoyin, her expression clearly like an ant drawn to honey, subtly adjusting her posture to create a small gap between herself and the man, her amorous almond-shaped eyes scanning Wang Xiaoyin with burning passion.
At this moment, the people in the black phoenix car also got out. Leading them was an elderly man with silver hair, and beside him was a young woman with smooth black hair, straight bangs that reached her delicate eyebrows, making her bright and clear eyes appear even more beautiful. Her face was fair and elegant, exuding the demeanor of a noble family.
Protecting them were two martial arts experts who quickly inspected the car's dents and reported back to the two leaders. Wang Xiaoyin immediately recognized the imposing aura of a martial arts practitioner, and one with considerable skill. He couldn't gauge the bodyguard's abilities. He vaguely recognized the old man and woman, but couldn't recall where he'd seen them before.
"Young man, hitting a car and running away is immoral. Whose child are you?" The old man's voice held an underlying authority, even though his words were calm and amiable.
Wang Xiaoyin assumed the old man was referring to him. Thinking it made sense, regardless of the reason, he was the one who had crashed into their phoenix car. So he coughed awkwardly and said, "Old man, I'm sorry! I didn't run away. I'm arguing with the guy who actually tried to escape! Don't worry, once I've settled things, I'll definitely compensate you for your losses!"
"Hehe, young man, I can tell right from wrong. I was just talking to that kid who tried to escape; he's the real culprit, am I right?" The old man chuckled, instantly allaying Wang Xiaoyin's unease.
"Hmph!" The young man who was about to escape felt a little uncomfortable after hearing what the old man who got out of the phoenix car said, but he couldn't afford to offend him, so he said, "I wasn't trying to escape. His beat-up car isn't worth much, I'll pay him. As for your phoenix car, I didn't hit it, so don't falsely accuse an innocent person."
Su Feifei was furious. She wanted to explode when she saw the man's contemptuous look, and when she heard him call it a "beat-up car," she couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "That was a gift from my mother! Can you afford to pay for it? I just want the car to be intact, no amount of money will do, you have to pay me!"
Cars passing by carefully avoided this troublesome area, and many people were curious and stopped their cars to watch from a distance.
"Hmph, miss, are you desperate for money? You're just trying to get me to pay more! No problem, I, Li Juncheng, have plenty of money. 100,000, that's enough, enough to buy three new cars like yours." Li Juncheng smiled contemptuously, pulled out his wallet, casually wrote a check, threw it on the ground, and was about to leave.
"I don't want your stinking money! If you don't pay for my car, you'll regret it!" Su Feifei looked at the check at her feet, disgustedly stomping, kicking, and crumpling it until the paper was a black, grimy mess.
The woman who had been standing beside the old man without speaking finally said, "You're the second young master of the Li family, aren't you? Although you have a good eye and the money you've given is enough to buy three cars like this, that was more than ten years ago. Do you even know the model and name of that car?"
Li Juncheng shook his head, seemingly unconcerned. However, seeing that his companion was clearly beautiful and elegant, he stopped in his tracks, saying, "Hmph, even ten years ago, she wouldn't have lost out. Do you know the meaning behind the car's name?"
The woman smiled gently, like a rose in the moonlight, solitary and aloof, and said, "There's a set of cars like this, 366 different models. Each one represents a day of the year, and each day represents a flower. It's usually the first car that elders give to their children. The flower language represented by each car expresses the elders' blessings for their children. Your insincere apology is disheartening."
"Hmph, so what! I've already paid for it. Should I give her mother money so she can buy her another car... Haha, that's ridiculous." Li Juncheng had clearly lost patience and didn't know who the person in front of him was, so he had no time to chat about topics he wasn't interested in.
Wang Xiaoyin gently hugged the nearly frantic Su Feifei, telling her not to rush, and then glared coldly at Li Juncheng. He'd heard of this man before, and the person Ghost Sword had tried to kill a few days ago was him. His wife, who was about to be married, was snatched away, yet he still came to the banquet. His skin was truly extraordinary.
He coldly said, "Not funny at all! Let's not even talk about how this car is no longer in production. Even if it weren't, you wouldn't be able to get her mother to give her a gift again... Uh, never mind that. Let me be blunt with you idiots like you, this car represents the Christmas rose, whose flower language is contradiction. It has been a very precious herb since ancient times, but on the other hand, it contains a deadly poison, which perfectly fits the element of contradiction. So, whether you choose the spear or the shield is your own choice!"
The last sentence was a blatant threat, and even if Li Juncheng was stupid, he could understand it.
"Kid, who are you cursing? I don't quite understand what you mean, but if you're trying to threaten me, then you're making a big mistake. Hmph, our Li family has never been afraid of anyone in Paradise City!" He was quite handsome, but in his anxiety, his face turned red, completely ruining the little bit of his good looks.
The old man's Shenfeng car was now parked neatly in the parking space by the driver, the scratches on the side and rear were very obvious, indicating that the collision was quite serious. The banquet was approaching, and all the nearby cars were parked, except for Wang Xiaoyin's damaged pink girly car, which remained parked outside the space.
"Heh heh, the Li family? It's the Li family again!" Wang Xiaoyin chuckled inwardly. It seemed impossible to let the Li family off the hook. He even considered whether to postpone his foray into the jewelry industry and switch to real estate. On the surface, he remained calm, saying, "Alright! Since it's your choice, we have nothing more to say." He
then comforted Fei'er in his arms, "Don't worry, I'll park the car first. We still have important business to attend to. Besides, these things can be repaired; we can definitely restore it to its original condition tomorrow." Although he said this, a low-end car that had been out of production for several years wasn't so easy to repair.
Wang Xiaoyin parked the car and quickly checked the right headlight; the damage there was minor and could still be repaired. As he got out, he saw the beautiful woman comforting Su Feifei; the two seemed quite familiar with each other. Li Juncheng, however, had already left with his female companion.
Taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, Wang Xiaoyin summoned his black God-Slaying Blade. The tip of the blade was incredibly sharp. With a light tap on Li Juncheng's Thunderbird tire, the tire, capable of withstanding light machine gun fire, punctured, slowly deflating without a sound. He circled the tires, puncturing all four, finally feeling satisfied.
The two bodyguards of the white-haired old man wore strange expressions, watching Wang Xiaoyin's destructive actions. They wanted to speak but dared not, and couldn't help but glance at the short knife in his hand, looking like thieves caught in the act.
"Fei'er, what are you two talking about?" Wang Xiaoyin sheathed his blade, returned casually, and smiled at Su Feifei and the woman.
“We’ve met this lady before, she is…” Su Feifei’s eyes were no longer red. Although she was still sad, she excitedly took the woman’s hand and introduced her to Wang Xiaoyin, but was interrupted by the woman.
“Don’t say anything yet, let him guess!”
“Ah, you can guess that? I’ve only ever heard of thinking about it, how can I guess?” Wang Xiaoyin tilted her head, feeling that the woman looked familiar, as did the white-haired old man next to her, but she didn’t really have a deep impression of her.
The serene woman chuckled, "Then think of me... Pshaw!" She suddenly realized how inappropriate that sounded, spat lightly, and added, "I almost fell for his trick. Just as Sister Fei'er said, he's incredibly cunning!"
The silver-haired old man beside her laughed heartily, "Listening to you young people's antics is truly delightful. Looks like today wasn't a wasted trip; so many interesting things have happened before we even parked the car."
Wang Xiaoyin, noticing the old man's slightly injured right leg and the resolute look in the serene woman's brow, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and chuckled, "Oh, I remember now, we met at the Hilton Hotel in New York. You're You'er? Is this old man's leg any better?"
"Hehe, you passed! You don't have to pay for the scratched car!" You'er's heart skipped a beat at his intimate address. Little did she know that Wang Xiaoyin had long forgotten her full name, and this intimate tone was a tactic he used on any woman. "But you should introduce yourselves properly!"
Wang Xiaoyin chuckled lightly, spouting lies as he first introduced himself as an employee of Tiandun Company. This status, though humble, allowed him to live openly in society. If he revealed his true identity, he'd be out of the game and should hide somewhere. Finally, he asked, "It's your turn to introduce yourselves!"
"Mr. Wang, you saved my granddaughter and my life..."
Wang Xiaoyin interrupted the white-haired old man, laughing, "Just call me Xiaoyin, that's what close friends call me. As for the life-saving grace, let's not mention it again. In that situation, hearing the voice of a fellow countryman, anyone would help." If Lan Yao heard him say this, she'd laugh herself silly. Those who knew him understood he was attracted by You'er's voice.
"Hehe, then this old man will take the liberty of calling you Xiaoyin. This is my granddaughter, Lin Xiaoyou, the future successor of Fengsheng Bank, and as for me..." The old man paused slightly, secretly observing Wang Xiaoyin's expression, watching for his reaction.
Disappointment, utter disappointment, because Wang Xiaoyin's expression remained completely unchanged. Wang Xiaoyin had heard of Fengsheng Bank, as he always went there to withdraw money and apply for credit cards. But Lin Xiaoyou? He'd never heard of her, and he had no idea who this old man was. Anyway, anyone who could afford a five-star hotel wasn't poor. So, he was waiting for the old man to continue his introduction. "Grandpa Lin, who are you?" Wang Xiaoyin couldn't help but ask when he remained silent for a while.
"Pfft!" Lin Xiaoyou covered her mouth and laughed. She knew that her grandfather always introduced himself like this to strangers, and when the other person heard "And me…", they would always blurt out, with extreme surprise and respect, "Ah, you are Mr. Lin Zezhong, the director of Fengsheng Bank!"—But this time, it had no effect on Wang Xiaoyin; the other person seemed to have never heard of him before.
Wang Xiaoyin indeed hadn't heard of him. This wasn't Wang Xiaoyin's fault; he was always unaware of things that didn't concern him. Especially with so many wealthy people in Coral Country, how could he possibly remember them all? He only asked Ito Sachiko for information on the city's wealthy when he was thinking about getting involved in that kind of business. The Lin family headquarters wasn't in Paradise City, so it was normal for Wang Xiaoyin not to know. Besides, he had never taken out a loan and didn't need to inquire about such matters.
The white-haired old man had no choice but to smile wryly and say, "I am Lin Zezhong, the current director of Fengsheng Bank!"
Although Wang Xiaoyin felt they were someone important, he simply hadn't heard of them and couldn't very well offer empty words like "I've heard so much about you!" Just as things were getting a little awkward, they arrived at the Wang family mansion. The main gate resembled a military fortress, guarded by dozens of professional bodyguards. Inside the gate, there were dozens of security detection devices, capable of detecting firearms, biological weapons, micro-pulse weapons, and the like. Anyone with knowledge would be amazed; this equipment was similar to that of the Stone Palace in Thousand Stone City, where the president would receive visiting guests who would undergo such checks.
However, ordinary, single solid metal objects would be allowed to pass. Wang Xiaoyin carried a dagger, protected by a secret incantation, making him undetectable even by the most sophisticated machinery. He knew that many people used this method, at least some powerful sects were aware of it.
Lin Zezhong and his group displayed golden VIP invitations, while Su Feifei held a specially made red VIP invitation. The Wang family's reception staff immediately understood that Lin Zezhong was a distinguished guest invited by the Wang family head, while Su Feifei was a guest invited by the Wang family's young lady, usually a close friend of hers.
Lin Zezhong glanced curiously at the red card in Su Feifei's hand and smiled, "The Wang family is really strange, using all sorts of colorful invitations, and some white ones too. I wonder what that means?"
Su Feifei, having heard Wang Qinghe mention it, immediately replied, "Those people are optional, unimportant people. When sending out invitations, if someone mentions having relatives who enjoy a lively atmosphere and want to attend, they'll send out some white cards for them to give away."
"Oh!" Lin Zezhong nodded, indicating he understood. He knew that other families had similar customs at important banquets, but none were as blatant as the Wang family's, so clearly dividing the crowd into several categories.
Su Feifei didn't like interacting with strangers, and after chatting with Lin Xiaoyou about her trip to New York, she had nothing else to say. She took Wang Xiaoyin's hand, keeping a distance from them.
The Wang family's mansion covered over two hundred acres, its buildings and vegetation subtly incorporating the Five Elements theory. Under the full moon's light, the interplay of light and shadow cleverly concealed the guards' positions. A skilled expert could easily detect the small formations within the Five Elements structure, and these formations, as a whole, were harmonious and unified, shrouding the entire Wang family mansion in a mysterious state of spiritual energy accumulation.
If one considered the Wang family's mansion within the context of the surrounding neighborhoods, one would be amazed to discover that the Wang family was situated in a Feng Shui treasure land, a place where the Nine Stars offered sacrifices to the moon. This kind of Feng Shui was even more peaceful and perfect than the renowned Panlong Cave, Baibao Nachuan, and Yunyu Confluence, etc., harmless to the surrounding neighbors while still receiving the blessings of this auspicious land.
After passing through two layers of security checks, the reception staff led them to the aerial cable car area. Due to the vast size of the mansion, pollution-free cable cars were the preferred choice for many prominent families. Six or seven meters above the ground, with double-bar suspension cables, it was safe and stable. Wang Xiaoyin and his group arrived relatively late, and there were few other guests nearby. There were many cable cars available, and passengers could usually board and disembark without waiting. A
typical cable car could hold thirty or forty people, but they had just encountered one that hadn't yet been raised, with only a dozen or so people inside. Lin Zezhong disliked waiting and walked in with them, chatting and laughing.
"Oh, Chairman Lin, you've come too..." Exclamations erupted from inside, as if everyone recognized Lin Zezhong, and compliments abounded.
Wang Xiaoyin, holding Su Feifei's hand, was looking for a secluded spot to get a good view of the Wang family mansion when they bumped into an acquaintance.
"Brother Xiaoyin!" Qiu Linlin exclaimed in surprise, jumping and skipping towards him, giving him a warm hug.
"Brother... Little Yin!" Ni Xiu wanted to call him "Boss," but felt that would sound like a gangster, which didn't fit his current identity. After all, he represented the military and Mayor Li Yun's executive bureau.
"Hehe, little girl, you're taking advantage of me again. Be careful your husband gets jealous!" Wang Xiaoyin's mentality gradually improved, and she stopped trying to guess Qiu Linlin's motives using common sense. She and Ni Xiu had a good relationship. Although she was a little overly excited every time she saw him, it was acceptable to treat it as a friendly gesture.
"Hmph, narcissist! If it weren't for my husband's sake, I wouldn't bother with you! You're so beautiful, wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't take advantage of you a little, haha!" Qiu Linlin ran into his arms, rubbed against him a couple of times, and then ran away, retreating to Ni Xiu's side.
Ni Xiu made a bitter face, patted Wang Xiaoyin's shoulder, and muttered softly, "Boss, I shouldn't have let her see you in the first place... Waaah, the pressure is too much. Every time I see her rush into your arms, I worry. Tell me, have you been fantasizing about my Linlin?"
"You bastard! Don't get any ideas, little brat. This girl is quite devoted, treat her well! If you make any mistakes, hmph, I won't be so polite. Leopard, eat them all!" Wang Xiaoyin threatened viciously. After saying this, his tone suddenly changed. He glanced at the dignified and elegant Li Yun not far away and lewdly said, "That woman Li Yun is quite feminine, so hot she's practically dripping with moisture. Has she sexually harassed you?"
Hou Ci shuddered in fright and quickly stole a glance at Li Yun. Seeing that she was busy talking to Lin Zezhong, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "My boss, don't say anything like that. Don't even mention that woman..." "How shrewd she is! Hey, sexual harassment? If she sets her sights on someone, they can't escape her pursuit even if they hide in a mouse hole. A few of our execution bureau members were blind enough to send her a few bouquets of red roses, and those unlucky guys either couldn't open their holsters or forgot to load their bullets during missions... Even ghosts know what happened. From then on, the nickname 'Poisonous Rose' spread like wildfire. Shh, whatever you do, don't let her hear it!"
Wang Xiaoyin shook his head secretly at his fearful and pathetic appearance. He had met Li Yun once, but the unlucky guy that time was none other than Li Yun herself. There were still over a thousand pictures of her in a sorry state, and even some of them showing too much skin. Hmph, Wang Xiaoyin let out a malicious smirk. Seeing his expression, Ni Xiu immediately darted to Qiu Linlin's side, even hiding behind Qiu Linlin.
"What have you two been whispering about for so long? You haven't introduced me yet... Humph!" Su Feifei pouted her pink lips, feeling neglected by Wang Xiaoyin and excluded from her circle of friends. Adding to her grievances, her beloved little car had just been damaged, leaving her feeling incredibly wronged, and tears were about to fall.
"Oh! Baby, don't be angry!" Wang Xiaoyin smiled apologetically, dramatically patting his head. He had wanted to make Fei'er happy today, but before he even parked the car, she had already ruined her mood. Now, of course, he had to do as she pleased. "Come on, let me introduce you. This is the beautiful Qiu Linlin, and the guy behind her, who looks like an eel, is her future husband, Ni Xiu. They work in the Enforcement Bureau of the Municipal Government, the friends that King Kong was shouting about on TV. Aren't they very important?"
Su Feifei's previously cheerful face showed surprise, and she even started to become a little reserved. Of course, Wang Xiaoyin couldn't let her have any reservations, so he called out to them with a grin, "This is the future famous singer, Miss Su Feifei. You two, come over and get an autograph, or you'll miss it!"
"Ah?" Su Feifei, having forgotten her initial reserve, became nervous and shy, quickly saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense, there's no such thing as becoming famous. Besides, now is not the time for autographs."
Qiu Linlin, pulling Ni Xiu along, chuckled and said to Su Feifei, "We've heard your songs. Ever since Brother Xiaoyin became your bodyguard, I've been collecting your songs. Your singing is excellent, but you lack good melodies and lyrics. If you had good melodies and lyrics, you would definitely become famous, oh no, a hundred times more famous than you are now." [Wan Juan Shu Wu
] "Yes, yes!" Ni Xiu then mentioned some of Su Feifei's most representative songs, and the atmosphere immediately eased.
Wang Xiaoyin had been watching Li Yun closely. Seeing her approach, he hurried over, grinning wickedly, "Wow, Mayor Li, you have such a great figure! This evening gown suits you perfectly. Hmm, the silk fabric really suits your skin; it's so white, smooth, and has a healthy glow..." He circled Li Yun twice, her body stiff and slightly flushed and breathless, commenting on her clothes and shamelessly eyeing her exposed, supple skin.
"Wang Xiaoyin, you..." Li Yun was usually calm and collected, but she couldn't tolerate a well-dressed, elegant man, like a traditional English gentleman, speaking to her in the tone of a lewd, vulgar street thug harassing a young girl.
This shout drew all eyes to her. What was most infuriating was that before she even opened her mouth to yell, Wang Xiaoyin had already become perfectly respectable, like a prince from a fairy tale, kind and innocent, with a sweet smile, as polite as a diplomat on the evening news. Finally, the image everyone saw was of Wang Xiaoyin, smiling handsomely, while Li Yun, her face flushed, reached out to grab Wang Xiaoyin's collar. It was like a shrew catching her good-for-nothing husband gambling, but the man opposite her was a noble and handsome prince.
Image, she had to maintain her image. Li Yun suppressed her anger, immediately regaining her composure and dignity, coughing twice, and said with a smile, "Wang Xiaoyin, you… hello. Long time no see, I've missed you!" The last sentence was uttered through gritted teeth.
"Hehe, I've missed you too. Since that night, I've been thinking of you, and I can't forget you even in my dreams." He took Li Yun's outstretched hand in an extremely ambiguous and shameless manner, bringing it to his lips and kissing it lightly. His words left much to the imagination. That night? After that night? What exactly happened that night?
Endure! Endure again! I'll endure it all! Li Yun's beautiful eyes seemed to blaze with fire as she said in a trembling voice, "Don't keep...kissing me like a police dog." The trembling sounded like excitement, or perhaps a lazy, coquettish tone, and her words were clearly flirtatious babbling.
"Oh, yes, you always say that to me! But I just can't change!" Shameless, despicable, Wang Xiaoyin continued his conversation with her as if no one else was around. After saying this, he released Li Yun's soft, delicate hand and took a half-step back to avoid a slap on his face. "Wait for me!
" Just as the atmosphere became extremely strange and awkward, a young, refined voice rang out from outside. A figure flickered and leaped onto the cable car, which was already halfway up the mountain. "Phew! Thank goodness!" He exaggeratedly wiped his forehead after getting on, but there wasn't a single bead of sweat on it.
This person was none other than Xiao Ling, the eldest grandson of the Xiao family. He held a white invitation card in his hand, his clothes were quite formal, and even his bow tie was perfectly straight. Ignoring everyone's astonished gazes, he calmly and quickly scanned the people in the car, only to be quite shocked afterward.
"Hehe, hello Grandpa Lin, You'er's here too. Oh, Mayor Li, Wang Xiaoyin, you... uh, Lin-meimei, what a coincidence..." Well, he recognized everyone inside. He quickly mentally listed the important figures and greeted them one by one. He began to regret his impetuousness; perhaps being a little late wouldn't have been so tiring of greeting them.
The cable car was smooth and fast, and the sudden appearance of Xiao Ling made the car lively. Seeing an opportunity, Wang Xiaoyin retreated to Su Feifei's side, ignoring her glare, and dragged her to a corner to watch the moon.
Ni Xiu hadn't expected Wang Xiaoyin to dare flirt with his boss—the Poison Rose Li Yun—in public. He immediately pulled Qiu Linlin away, distancing himself from him. "So audacious, always stirring up trouble!" That was Ni Xiu's assessment of him. Qiu Linlin giggled incessantly, clearly admiring the scene, and like Wang Xiaoyin, dragged Ni Xiu to look at the moon.
The plaza, though called an open-air plaza, was actually quite open; a layer of highly transparent glass covered the high sky, making it impossible to see any gaps if one's eyesight was poor, as if standing under an unobstructed canopy. The full moon hung high, soft music drifted through the air, and thousands of elegantly dressed guests chatted and laughed, raising their glasses in toasts.
Su Feifei held Wang Xiaoyin's hand tightly, as if afraid he would get lost. Seeing the envious glances from other women, she puffed out her chest proudly, her expression like that of a victorious rooster.
Seeing Xiao Ling clinging to Lin Xiaoyou, Wang Xiaoyin understood his intentions and quickened her pace, deliberately getting separated from them. By the time Su Feifei realized it, she was surrounded by elegantly dressed strangers, and the only person she recognized was Wang Xiaoyin.
"Xiaoyin, I'm hungry too! Let's go get something to eat! Humph, it's all because of that bastard surnamed Li, otherwise I wouldn't be so hungry. I'm still waiting to eat Qinghe's birthday cake!" Su Feifei shook Wang Xiaoyin's arm, rubbing her stomach expectantly. This posture was quite unladylike, but it suited her cute expression perfectly.
"Hehe, I heard that already! So, I'm going to the bartending area now. Grab your drinks, turn left and the food service area is there. Otherwise, why would I bring you here? To watch these fat men and old women's grating laughter?"
"Oh! Hehe!" Su Feifei carefully avoided the men. She used to hate men, and although there was an exception now, she still felt disgusted by other men and didn't want to touch them at all. "But you've never been here before, how do you know?"
"This is a common layout for large open-air banquets, convenient for guests, and this arrangement has gradually become a habit. Otherwise, if everyone had a new arrangement for their banquet, wouldn't it be chaotic? Everyone would be searching for wine glasses, drinks, desserts, barbecue... Hehe, you can imagine the scene at a vegetable market, and you'll know how terrible it would be!" Wang Xiaoyin exaggeratedly explained as he walked to one of the cocktail areas.
This was one of the cocktail areas on the edge of the square, where about thirty beautiful young female bartenders were busy, their barware flying as they mixed brightly colored cocktails. There was also a dedicated liquor counter, with several waiters busily carrying trays of drinks, moving between customers and the counter.
"Miss, a glass of Bordeaux red wine and a glass of Canadian ice wine!" Wang Xiaoyin said with a grin to the lady at the liquor counter. Su Feifei didn't usually drink, but she couldn't resist Wang Xiaoyin's indulgence and temptation, and was persuaded by him to order a glass of low-alcohol red wine.
When it was Wang Xiaoyin's turn, there was a small problem. Wang Xiaoyin requested a larger glass, but how large exactly? He ultimately chose a narrow-mouthed glass vessel for the ice wine. He poured two whole bottles to fill the large glass.
Su Feifei was bewildered. While ice wine was expensive, typically sold in half-bottles and costing several times more than gold, this extravagant display of indulgence in front of the guests was hardly appropriate. Ignoring Su Feifei's pinching, twisting, pulling, and shaking, Wang Xiaoyin winked at the stunned wine-pouring maid and pulled Su Feifei away.
"Your glass is too big. People will laugh at us. I don't even dare walk with you anymore," Su Feifei muttered, her face flushed from just a couple of sips of red wine, resembling a shy expression.
"Hehe, I'm setting a trend. At the end of the banquet, I want them to be proud to hold this kind of cup, and ashamed to not be. Fei'er, you know, this is the effect, a kind of idol worship effect. After you become famous, every move you make will become a trend, just like the Fox band. Their fox masks became the symbol of various trends." Wang Xiaoyin took this opportunity to instill in her all sorts of knowledge about what it's like to be famous, and also took the opportunity to test her mentality. If she really felt embarrassed when she saw Wang Xiaoyin holding a clumsy and tall cup, and didn't want to walk with him anymore, then Wang Xiaoyin would most likely not care about her future affairs, and they would go their separate ways as soon as the contract ended.
"Really? I saw that they were all very surprised, and some people were even laughing!" Su Feifei carefully observed the other guests, sensitively probing their emotional fluctuations, but she still held Wang Xiaoyin's hand tightly, not letting go at all.
"Stick to your own style! On your road to fame, you'll encounter all sorts of challenges. Only by staying true to yourself can you forge a unique style. Success lies in perseverance." Wang Xiaoyin, oblivious to the strange looks from others, continued to smile and raise his glass, still exuding the air of a prince on an inspection tour, noble and mysterious.
"Oh!" Su Feifei gradually realized he made a lot of sense. Although it was a bit strange, no one had ever taught her these things. Just then, they arrived at the barbecue area. Most of the hundreds of clean tables and chairs were occupied, indicating there were quite a few hungry people. Seeing the golden-brown roasted camel meat, she couldn't help but swallow hard, regardless of how big Wang Xiaoyin's glass was.
"I want this, this, and this..." Su Feifei pointed wildly, unable to name anything, and finally, she stupidly pointed at the charcoal-grilled African python, asking what it was, and then, without waiting for the waiter's answer, demanding a piece.
"Hmph, poor people are poor people, ordering so much meat, they might choke to death!" A discordant voice rang out at the most inopportune moment. Li Juncheng, accompanied by his female companion, stood beside Wang Xiaoyin with a sneer, mocking their lack of worldliness.
Hearing his voice, Wang Xiaoyin wanted to smash his wine glass in his face, slice him into pieces with the shards, and then roast the meat on a steel rack. Then she'd coat him with natural rapeseed oil, sprinkle on various spices, and roast human flesh—a perfect dish.
Just as she was about to erupt in anger, a strange, similar voice chimed in, "Second brother, that's not right. If they can't finish it, they can take it home. How could they choke to death? Haha!" This was the voice of Li Junqi, the eldest son of the Li family, even more sinister than his second brother. He stood on the other side of Wang Xiaoyin and Su Feifei with his wife.
Last time, the bodyguards he sent to track Wang Xiaoyin and Lan San saw them walking with Xiao Wen and assumed Wang Xiaoyin was someone important, which was why they let Lan San go unpunished. However, upon investigation, it turned out that Wang Xiaoyin was merely an employee of Tiandun Bodyguard Company, nameless and powerless, and had only recently arrived in Paradise City. He had only met Xiao Wen by chance. Afterwards, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, unable to forget Lan San's serene and graceful figure, and her alluring, unclothed appearance. Yet, despite using all his resources, he couldn't find Lan San's whereabouts, so he could only vent his resentment on Wang Xiaoyin.
"Bored stray dogs smell meat and go mad, biting indiscriminately. It's not good if they bite people. Fei'er, let's go inside, don't let the stray dogs touch us!" Wang Xiaoyin laughed happily, not taking their aggressive words seriously at all. In reality, he had long wanted to draw his knife and chop them to pieces. This mentality was similar to the scene of beasts tearing each other apart when their power was out of control during the moonlight. Although Wang Xiaoyin had already vented a lot of resentment on Lan Yao today, the sudden provocation still made his blood boil.
"You...who are you insulting?" The two brothers couldn't believe he was so audacious as to dare insult a member of their Li family; it was tantamount to courting death. In Paradise City, making a few insignificant figures disappear was incredibly easy.
