Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Chapter 421: Poseidon’s Plan Comes Together

Chen Xiaobei had stayed conscious thanks to Seven Treasury Fragrant Pouch while he and Wu Tianhe were transported with the SUV.

He heard everything that Lin Yufei told the chief inspector. It was true that one could get a lot of things done in one night – Poseidon’s plan had come together… and so did Chen Xiaobei’s!

At the entrance of the hotel.

“Argh…” Luo Puti needed every bit of strength she had left to push herself off the floor. Lin Yufei would have been terrified if she saw her alive – it was a miracle for anyone to survive a sniper’s bullet!

“This bellyband… It’s simply amazing… And I really thought that was it…” Luo Puti exclaimed. She took a careful look and found that there was not even a scratch on her bellyband – it was nothing less than magical. She would have considered anyone a lunatic if they told her a bellyband could block bullets, but she was no longer skeptical. Anything was possible with Chen Xiaobei.

“Are you alright?” A tall, muscular man came to her and ask.

“I’m alright…” Luo Puti shook her head and looked around like a lost puppy, before finding Bai Libin who laid still on the floor.

“I’ll avenge him.” The man said with a deep voice.

“Yes, all of us will. By the way, Chen Xiaobei wanted me to give this to you.” Luo Puti took out a container that stored toothpaste from her bag.

The man took it. “Alright,” he said. “Let’s go!”

Luo Puti jumped into Chen Xiaobei’s Bugatti Veyron with the man to chase after Lin Yufei’s SUV.

“Shit… We lost them!” Luo Puti had floored the pedal but had no means of tracking them down; she had no idea where to go!

*Shiiing*

Suddenly, the container was cut open by something sharp. A blood red, tiny sword hovered in front of the man.

“This tiny sword is connected to Xiaobei,” the man explained. “He can control it within a thousand meters. We just need to follow where it’s pointing to, just don’t get too close!”

“Is… Is that a Taiji Spiritual Sword?” Luo Puti asked in shock. She recalled the image of the blood sword that killed two of their assailants yesterday.

……..

The SUV arrived at the designated harbor where a private yacht came to pick them up. Chen Xiaobei and Wu Tianhe were cuffed and locked inside one of the cabins, with the latter still unconscious.

Along the way, Chen Xiaobei focused on controlling the flying sword to lead Luo Puti. He must stay concentrated on his efforts since the Chaos Sword Essence was the only thing that kept him connected to his allies.

After some time, the yacht stopped. It was obvious that they were now on international waters as Lin Yufei mentioned before. Someone then came inside the room to carry him and Wu Tianhe out of the yacht. Chen Xiaobei kept feigning unconsciousness as he kept his Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes on everything happening outside.

They were being dragged into a big cargo ship that appeared ordinary. However, Chen Xiaobei found that it was a completely different world inside. After being carried through a hidden door that required biometric authentication under one of its floor they arrived at spacious room filled it with advanced technological equipment, just like one of those spy headquarters in the movies.

There were dozens of displays that were showing various statistics and highlights about everything going on in China. Without question, this room was a surveillance center over the whole nation!

‘I never thought there was an intelligence center like this that exists in our peaceful nation…’ Chen Xiaobei felt disturbed, and soon became determined. ‘I have to eliminate this tumor once and for all!’

He would have stayed ignorant of all this if he did not get captured voluntarily. It was now clear that Poseidon’s influence extends beyond the Six Doors Organization!

Around thirty people were working in the room, appearing more to be professional gamers than data analyst as they pored over the computers. Chen Xiaobei quickly figured out that there that only another country could gather all these talents – and judging from their skin tone and hair color, they were Asians. It was even more telling that they spoke in Japanese!

‘F*cking Japs! You lot sure are putting a lot of effort to bring down our country!’ Chen Xiaobei kept still as fury blazed in his heart.

It took decades to build a clandestine information network, a secret base, as well as recruit trustworthy talents for such an operation. This was an atrocity that would outrage every Chinese national!

‘I won’t just stop at killing Poseidon. I will wipe out this nest and destroy this operation for good!’ Chen Xiaobei thought, eager to beat up and murder every single one of them! And he would have already done so if not for the fact that he had to wait for Poseidon to show his face.

“Master Poseidon! Chen Xiaobei and Wu Tianhe are here.” Lin Yufei announced as they arrived outside a metal door.

*Whine*

The metal door quickly opened. Lin Yufei led the way while two burly men carried Wu Tianhe and Chen Xiaobei behind her.

They entered what appeared to be a biological lab. Liquids of all colors were bubbling in test tubes, while different organs were preserved in containers with formaldehyde. There were also a few cages of white lab rats.

There was a table at the other end of the laboratory. A middle-aged, muscular and powerful man who stood by the left side of the table; his outfit told Chen Xiaobei that he was a Six Doors Organization officer. Another man with the sharp, piercing gaze of a raptor stood on the right; he had two katanas tied to his waste.

And then there was that old man who sat on the chair between the two men. He looked like a pervert.

“Finally!” He beamed. “After all that hard work, I now have the bargaining chip. The Poseidon plan finally comes together!”

Chapter 422: I Just Want to Slap You

“Wake them up.” The old man commanded.

“Yes, sir!” Lin Yufei uncorked a small bottle and let both Chen Xiaobei and Wu Tianhe sniffed it. Chen Xiaobei had been conscious all along; he calmly opened his eyes.

On the other hand, Wu Tianhe was beside himself with anger. “Lin Yufei!” He screamed. “What have you done?! Why did you kill Luo Puti? Why did you bring us here?”

“Shut up! You have no right to talk!” The man in the Six Doors Organization uniform spoke with a deep voice.

“Chief inspector?!” Wu Tianhe’s wrath quickly turned into shock and confusion – the leader of the Six Doors was the last person he would expect to see here. “Why are you here? Were you behind Lin Yufei?”

“Why are you still calling him chief inspector? He’s just a traitor; he has no claim on that position anymore!” Chen Xiaobei said with contempt.

“What? Traitor? How could this be?” Wu Tianhe was stunned. The chief inspector was the one man that he truly respected in Six Doors – the veteran would never imagine that the well-respected chief inspector would betray his own organization!

However, the truth was clear as crystal. The highest order has assigned Wu Tianhe and several others on a mission to escort the children of a VIP, only for Lin Yufei and the chief inspector to sabotage it. It was treason, plain and simple!

“Huangfu Lengshan!” Wu Tianhe kept screaming. “What the hell happened here?”

“He’s so noisy…” the old man scoffed.

*Whoosh*

That samurai swung his hand, his palm unleashing True Qi into the air.

*Pow!*

The samurai landed the True Qi on Wu Tianhe’s face as if a sledgehammer, throwing him some distance away. His face completely bruised, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and teeth.

It was True Qi Materialization. The samurai was really close to True Nirvana Phase; he must be at Half-Step True Nirvana Stage as well!

Ding!

[Cultivation: Pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 20000. Combat power: 20000 (+5000)!]

“How did you reach such cultivation at such an age… You can’t be older than forty… Could- Could you be the prodigy from Japan, Cangjin Gu?!” Wu Tianhe cried out between grunts of pain. His old wounds were yet to fully recovered and that blow just now gave him several new ones – him staying conscious was already a miracle.

However, his question was left unanswered. The samurai was so arrogant he barely batted an eyelid at the wounded man!

The old man then started to laugh. “Hehe… Not bad at all, special inspector! I’m surprised that you know about Cangjin Gu – he is indeed a rare martial arts prodigy from our country. He might be weaker than Huangfu Kun now, but he is ten years younger. Just think! Would Huangfu Kun be able to defeat him after ten years? Or twenty years? By then none of you could hold a candle to him! Hahaha…”

Cangjin Gu raised his chin slightly at the compliment from the old man. There was pride in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Huangfu kept groveling. “Master Poseidon, you’re right! No one China who would be able to defeat Cangjin Gu twenty years later!”

“That’s right! That’s right!” Even Lin Yufei was chiming in.

Those two turncoats!

Ding!

[Cultivation: Pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 20000. Combat power: 20000 (+8000)!]

Chen Xiaobei watched Huangfu carefully. ‘This man is quite powerful for a middle-aged man…’ He thought. ‘He must have been a genius in his heyday – but he lacks pride. What a traitor, killing comrades and joining the enemy! Utterly despicable!’

“Allow me to introduce myself. ” The old man stood up and spoke with a snobbish tone. “I am Poseidon, the legendary genius from Japan! How are you enjoying the pleasure of being captured by me?”

Ding!

[Cultivation: None. Health: 3. Combat power: 3!]

Chen Xiaobei was shocked. He never expected Poseidon to be so weak! Even dust in the air could probably hurt him.

Still, it was possible that his IQ was extraordinary. From the electronic messages to biological experiments and from building a vast intelligence network to creating Heart Burning Pills that control Six Doors Organization officers. Such things were beyond human capability and yet Poseidon had done it all by himself!

He might be arrogant but he was a genuine genius – and that was why Japan was willing to send their most powerful martial artist to protect him!

“Mr. Chen! Is there anything you’d like to say?” A slightly baffled Poseidon asked as he stood up and walked over to Chen Xiaobei. “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

“Why should I be? Do you even have the balls to kill me?” Chen Xiaobei glared at Poseidon fearlessly.

His words left everyone stunned.

“Bastard! Are you insane?!” Lin Yufei screamed. “This is Master Poseidon’s domain! Huangfu Lengshan and Cangjin Gu are here as well, killing you is easier than squashing a bug!”

“Is that right? Touch me then!” Chen Xiaobei probed her cheekily.

“I’m going to f*cking touch you! Acting cocky when you’re a hostage!” Lin Yufei raised her hand, ready to land one big slap on his face.

“Idiot!” Poseidon yelled in rage.

*Whoosh*

Cangjin Gu gave Lin Yufei a backhand of his own in a flash and sent her flying!

*Pow!*.

*Blaaargh*

Forcefully ejecting a mouthful of blood, Lin Yufei trembled in fear and held her tongue in fear of upsetting Poseidon again.

“Mr. Chen, you are brilliant. You’re right. I won’t hurt you before I get what I want because you’re are the key to my plan!” Poseidon laughed coldly.

“What do you want?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Hehe… I don’t believe you are aware of what your father really does. He is the leading researcher in Super Material. It’s the element that China uses to create invisible military coating for their submarines. Those warships would stay undetected if the research was successful.”

“You shall be my leverage to get the Super Material, and Japanese submarines would then be able to sneak into China, catching all of you off-guard! Boom! Boom! Boom! The day China falls is near! Hahaha!” Poseidon seems get more animated and passionate the more he spoke.

“Boom? Boom? Boom? Do you know that I want to Slap! Slap! Slap! your face right now?” Chen Xioabei said, lifting his eyebrows.

Chapter 423: A Pile of Shit

“Idiot! You bastard! How dare you spit such insolence at Master Poseidon? You must be thirsting for death!” Cangjin Gu roared angrily before Poseidon could reply; his tremendous Qi aura plunged the temperature in the room.

“Such terrific Qi aura!” Wu Tianhe inhaled sharply. He was an old Jianghu elite who had been through much in his whole life, but Cangjin Gu’s angry bellow made him felt a pang in his chest and made it difficult for him to breathe.

*Blaaaargh*

Lin Yufei, who was much weaker, felt an invisible force crushing her. She coughed a mouthful of blood.

“Huh?” Slightly baffled, Poseidon narrowed his eyes. “Aren’t you afraid of Cangjin Gu? Your mental fortitude is quite formidable for your age!”

Cangjin Gu was as shocked as he was angry. He always considered himself one of the greats in Qi refinement. Though his aura was powerful enough to stun even elites like Wu Tianhe, he failed to immobilize the young man in front of him. It felt like a slap from Chen Xiaobei, especially given that he was under restraints!

“What the hell is a Cangjin Gu? Such a thing isn’t even worth mentioning!” Chen Xiaobei replied with a snobbish poker face but he was not trying to act tough. It was the truth that he did not fear Cangjin Gu.

The reason behind that was because a person’s mind has nothing to do with his combat power or age – experience was the only thing that matters. For example, a person would not be afraid of an earthquake if they had experienced the apocalypse. And Chen Xiaobei had his apocalyptic when he gutsily slapped the Primeval Lord of Heaven! Would such a person even fear Cangjin Gu?

“Son of a bitch…” Cangjin Gu seethed in fury, every bit of him desiring to strike the young man down.

“Cangjin Kun, calm yourself.” Poseidon commanded, and pointed at Chen Xiaobei. “Brat, you’re quite the cocky one. That being said, I could make you submit without killing you. I’m the legendary genius in Japan, my friend – there is just so many ways I could make you yield.”

“Is that so?” Chen Xiaobei retorted.

“Yes, and Huangfu Lengshan here is the best example. Even the chief inspector of the Six Doors Organization and the brains of China chose to be my loyal servant! What do you even have over me?”

“Him?” Chen Xiaobei glared at Huangfu. “He’s just a shameless, despicable and ungrateful traitorous cunt. He’s worse than a pig, my friend – so please don’t compare me with that pile of shit.”

“You! You…” Huangfu Lengshan was in cloud nine after Poseidon complimented him, only to have Chen Xiaobei’s insult plunged him back to earth and boiled his blood.

Even Wu Tianhe and Lin Yufei were stunned by his mockery. Huangfu Lengshan was one of the most influential men in China, treated like a deity in Jianghu – but somehow Chen Xiaobei thought that he was just feces.

Poseidon had seen a lot of arrogant fools, but not one quite like Chen Xiaobei.

“Amazing! Just amazing!” He laughed icily. “Chen Xiaobei, you surprise me! It seems that I need be more creative to deal with you!”.

Cangji Gu quickly took out a test tube with purple liquid and handed it to Poseidon.

“Do you know what this is? I don’t think you do! I’ll let you see its effects!”

Poseidon kept laughing while Cangjin Gu walked over to Lin Yufei, squeezed open her mouth and poured the purple liquid into her mouth.

“No… No… What did you just give me? Master Poseidon… Master…” Lin Yufei struggled in agony for a while. Eventually she stopped moving and peered at Poseidon with milky eyes.

“This is the Hypnosis Elixir!” Poseidon explained before starting a lame mime routine. “Dad! Help me! Use your research to save me!”

Lin Yufei nodded and imitated Poseidon: “Dad! Help me! Use your research to save me!”

“What do you think?” Poseidon giggled darkly. “It’s one of my many inventions! You may not submit to Cangjin Gu’s and Huangfu Lenghsan’s force, but you will definitely submit to a genius like me. That’s the power of knowledge! Hahaha…”

“Shit… The mission is fucked beyond recognition… There’s nothing we can do if Mr. Chen is hypnotized…” All hope escaped Wu Tianhe. The Hypnosis Elixir was such a cheat!

“Master Poseidon is almighty!! It’s my honor to serve our greatest scientist!” Cangjin Gu bowed.

“I’m in awe of my master as well. It’s my honor to serve him!” Huangfu Lengshan joined the worship too.

Poseidon became even more full of himself after hearing the compliments of his followers. “Chen Xiaobei!” he said. “Are you impressed by my invention? Don’t worry, I will let you have a taste of it soon!”

“Stop being so proud of yourself over some dumb ass solution! My Hypnosis Elixir is hundreds of times more powerful than yours!” Chen Xiaobei shot back.

“What? You? An elixir hundreds of times more powerful than mine? Hahaha…” Poseidon burst out in laughter. “That’s definitely the worst joke of the year!”

“Laugh all you can now. You won’t be able to laugh anymore after I slap your fucking face!” Chen Xiaobei warned chillingly.

“You’re really crazy. Dream on! You’ll be my puppet soon; you won’t even be able to walk towards me!” Poseidon said.

“Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint. “Chen Xiaobei lifted his hands as if he would break his restraints.

“Brat, you’re too damn na?ve! This handcuff is made of special metal – not even I can break free from it! Keep dreaming!” Cangji Gu laughed.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Lengshan glanced at Wu Tianhe. The chief inspector was certain that even the veteran could not unlock his own restraints either.

*Crack*

*Crack*

That was when everyone glimpsed a golden light flash. When it cleared, Chen Xiaobei was free.

“Oh my God… What… What the hell just happened?” Poseidon gasped. It was like facing a beast that was suddenly free from its cage – and what was worse, his combat power was only three. He would be devoured with just a slap!

*Slap!*

Without any hesitation, Chen Xiaobei landed his palm on Poseidon’s face!

Chapter 424: Kill!

*Boom!*

Poseidon’s frail body was flung into the air, spinning so many circles that he turned a total of 1800 degrees before landing perfectly on the desk, face-first.

“Shit!” Huangfu Lengshan and Cangjin Gu were still frozen, unable to figure out how Chen Xiaobei broke his restraints. The damage was already done before they realized what happened.

However, the youth was not satisfied. He quickly charged up to Poseidon, grabbed him by his hair and started to unleash his legendary slaps on him.

“That’s for spying against our country!”

“That’s for using the Heart Burning Pill to control the Six Doors Organization!”

“That’s for using hostages to threaten my country to acquire the Super Material!”

“That’s for trying to start another war!”

“Lastly, that’s is for acting so cocky in my face! Keep saying that you’re a legendary genius! I dare you! I double dare you!!”

Chen Xiaobei may have said ‘lastly’, but there was no sign of him stopping. Still, though he was using just 1% of his strength, Poseidon might still die since his health was only three!

“Chen Xiaobei…Stop it…Let Master Poseidon go!”

Huangfu Lengshan and Cangjin Gu could only look on despite their power. None of them could bear the consequences if Poseidon was killed!

As his bodyguard, Canjin Gu knew Poseidon’s importance. Japan’s technology, intelligence, special forces, and many other foundations of the country would tumble without him. As for Huangfu who was still affected the Heart Burning Pill, there would be nobody left to supply him with the antidote.

In short, Cangji Gu and Huangfu Lengshan would be lost without the old man! And yet they could not lift a finger against Chen Xiaobei as long as Poseidon was in his “care”.

“Mr. Chen is a genius!” Wu Tianhe looked on in disbelief. He believed the game to be over as Poseidon prepared to hypnotized Chen Xiaobei, but the youth had completely turned the tables on the old man!

*Blaaargh*

Poseidon spat out a pool of blood “Please… Don’t slap me anymore…” he pleaded. “I’m going to die if you keep this up… Sob… Sob…”

“Are you in any position to make a bargain?” Chen Xiaobei said haughtily.

“Uhm…” Poseidon’s body shook with fear. He shut up immediately.

“Xiao’er!” Chen Xiaobei called, and a golden flash streaked towards Wu Tianhe and freed him as well. Everyone gaped as the same phenomenon recurred!

And what the hell is a Xiao’er? All of them save for Chen Xiaobei was left baffled as they struggled to figure out what that golden light was.

“Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving my life again!” Wu Tianhe praised as he ran towards the younger man.

“Chen Xiaobei! Release Master Poseidon or I’ll turn you into mincemeat!” Huangfu Lengshan said darkly “Wu Tianhe knows how I deal with enemies. Just ask him!”

Wu Tianhe gulped at Huangfu Lengshan ‘s threat. He was genuinely afraid of his former leader.

*Slap!*

Chen Xiaobei, however, responded with another smack on Poseidon!

“Ouch… Stop slapping me… Stop slapping me please…” Poseidon’s face was split open – streams of evil dark purple blood started to gush out from it like a broken faucet. He was in pure agony!

“Please. I really want to see how a pile of shit plans to make me suffer!” Chen Xiaobei glared at Huangfu darkly in return.

“Huangfu Lengshan! You idiot! Are you trying to kill me?” Poseidon yelled through his broken face. “Apologize to Mr. Chen right now or you will never get the antidote for the Heart Burning Pill!”

“I…” Huangfu Lengshan was really frustrated. He was the chief inspector of the Six Doors Organization, the brains of a nation and a Halfstep True Nirvana elite. There was no way he would apologize to a lowlife like Chen Xiaobei!

“Idiot! Why are you just standing there?” Poseidon screamed fearfully, afraid that Chen Xiaobei might slap him again.

“Mr. Chen, I’m really sorry.” Huangfu’s face turned black.

*Slap!*

Chen Xiaobei landed another hit on Poseidon.

“Argh… Huangfu Lengshan! What kind of attitude is that?” Poseidon squealed. “Apologize to Mr. Chen properly or I’ll drag you along to my death!”

Huanghu Lengshan gritted his teeth. He had no choice but to squeeze a fake smile and say gently but audibly: “I’m really sorry, Chen Xiaobei! I’m sorry that I have offended you!”

“Get lost! You disgust me!” Chen Xiaobei was really disgusted by traitors like Huangfu Lengshan – a scumbag who was no different from Poseidon.

Huangfu Lengshan did not say another word and quickly moved aside immediately. How much he wanted to slice Chen Xiaobei into pieces right then!

“Mr. Chen, let’s make a deal.” Cangjin Gu tried his best to negotiate with a soothing tone. “I’ll release you and Wu Tianhe if you let Master go. A fair trade, isn’t it? Wouldn’t things just go bad for both sides if this continues?”

*Slap!*

Another slap landed on Poseidon’s face.

Cangjin Gu was stunned. “I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?” he exclaimed. “I was even being nice! Why would you slap Master for that?”

“Why am I the only one getting hurt? Sob…” Poseidon complained between tears.

Chen Xiaobei glared at Cangjin Gu darkly. “Do I need your permission to leave?”

Cangjin Gu gulped and considered the question for a while. “That… That’s right?” He said gingerly. “Do you think you can leave without getting past Huangfu Lengshan and myself?”

“I see. Then do you believe I will kill Poseidon?” Chen Xiaobei grinned.

“What did you just say?” Cangjin Gu and Huangfu Lengshan were stunned; they thought that their ears may be playing tricks. In their minds, Chen Xiaobei would at most maim their Master. He would never bring himself to kill the old man and waste his one bargaining chip!

Even Poseidon had the same thought. That was the reason he never once begged for his life – he banked on the fact that Chen Xiaobei would never kill him.

Nevertheless.

*Crack*

Without a shred of hesitation, Chen Xiaobei snapped Poseidon’s neck.

Chapter 425: Sword! Come!

“Ack…” It was a last, pathetic utterance, but also Poseidon’s very last word in life. His body became motionless and he dropped to the floor exactly like a pile of cow dung.

The super genius was dead as a doornail.

“Chen Xiaobei! Are you crazy?!” Cangjin Gu and Huangfu Lengshan were left dumbfounded. They stared at Chen Xiaobei as if he was a complete maniac!

Even Wu Tianhe was left shaken. His eyes welled with fear immediately in a flesh; he knew that Huangfu Lengshan and Cangjin Gu would tear them apart without their bargaining chip.

There were two options: fight or death – and Wu Tianhe knew that it was impossible for him to defeat them.

“Son of a bitch! Do you know what you’ve done? I’ll grant your fucking death wish!” Huangfu Lengshan roared in pent-up fury. He channeled his True Qi to both hands and formed two extremely sharp blades!

“I’m going cut off your head and bring it back to Japan! And your body will be left in pieces!” Cangjin Gu was also the picture of pure rage. He drew both his katanas and imbued them with his concentrated True Qi – the blades appeared as if burning, and the room quickly heated up.

“Shit…”

Wu Tianhe froze as the two super elites prepared to cut them into ribbons. Dealing with one of them would have been troublesome – but both of them were coming up simultaneously! There was no way this would end well for them, and, knowing that, Wu Tianhe despaired.

Chen Xiaobei, however, stayed calm even in the face of death. He acted as if he had everything under control, and that gave both Huangfu Lengshan and Cangjin Gu pause.

They looked at each other and, baffled at how Chen Xiaobei was simply standing there, glaring back at them fearlessly. “F*cking brat! Where did you get the balls to stay on your feet with both of us coming at you? Do you really think you can defeat us?”

“Is it possible that Mr. Chen is powerful enough to defeat them? But how…” Wu Tianhe choked on his own words.

Then, he suddenly remembered that Chen Xiaobei once told him to respect him like a god. Wu Tianhe decided that he would start worshipping Chen Xiaobei if he managed to turn the tide!

“Sword!” Chen Xiaobei called, pointing towards the sky. “Come!”

*Rumbling*

The room trembled. A flash of crimson punched through the roof of the room and dyed the entire room a bloody crimson – it was a sword that fell from the heavens!

Blood aura and Black Dragon ravaged the room, freezing the air. Huangfu Lengshan and Cangjin Gu could feel their hearts thumping, their breaths becoming uneven. The weaker Wu Tianhe was suffocating.

The crimson light stopped in front of Chen Xiaobei, and everyone finally saw it: a sword that made of the legendary blood jade! Nine streams of blood Qi flowed like flying dragons atop the blade. There was another black line too – the blood of the Black Dragon!

“Fly… Flying Sword? Is that the legendary Taiji weapon; Flying Sword?” Huangfu Lengshan gaped, his eyes bulging, unable to believe he eyes. As the chief inspector of Six Doors Organization, Huangfu Lengshan came to learn about many Taoist legends – the Flying Sword being one of the most interesting of them all!

The tales went that it could cut off a target’s head from thousands of miles away. Huangfu had not seen one before, but a part of his flabbergasted brain told him that the small blood red sword was the legendary Taiji Flying Sword!

‘Who the hell is this youth? Where did he learn how to use a Flying Sword?’ Huangfu thought.

On the other hand, Cangjin Gu was not as knowledgeable as Huangfu Lengshan was. “Brat, don’t play stupid tricks!” He laughed as his eyes narrowed. “The speed and power of that Flying Sword is around fifteen thousand. Could you even scratch us with that toy? Na?ve!”

“Maybe. But I never said a thing about fighting you two. Your opponent is right behind you!” Chen Xiaobei said calmly with a shrug.

*Whoosh*

*Whoosh*

Two figures jumped through the crack that the Chaos Sword Essence opened.

One of them was an incredibly gorgeous woman, while the other was a tall and well-built man!

“Luo Puti?! You’re alive?!” Huangfu Lengshan could not believe his eyes.

“Hmph! Did you actually believe your plans were perfect?” Luo Puti laughed calmly. “All of you were outplayed by Chen Xiaobei! Your schemes were doomed to fail the moment he was captured! Even your god Poseidon was destined to lose the moment he went against him!”

“Bitch! Don’t mock the Master!” Cangjin Gu screamed furiously. Poseidon was highly respected in Japan, and no Japanese person would be able to accept the fact that he was killed by a brat! That slap in the face was infinitely precious!

“Cangjin Kun, calm down! There’s no need to argue with them because they will all die soon!” Huangfu Lengshan said darkly and turned his attention to Chen Xiaobei. “Chen Xiaobei, did you believe that Luo Puti could get you out of this?”

“Hehe… My honey is not going to fight, but we’re not running either… Bro Yu, I’m leaving them to you!”

“Not a problem.” The handsome man standing beside Luo Puti nodded.

“Bro Yu? I don’t even remember coming across your name in Jianghu!” Huangfu Lengshan laughed fearlessly, comforted by his knowledge of the field. “I’m an elite at the Halfstep True Nirvana Stage, and I know the name of every elite who achieved True Nirvana Stage. There is no way that he can defeat me! You bunch of-”

*Pow!*

Huangfu Lengshan took a punch before he could finish; he flew and sunk deep into a wall! His Dantian was turned into a pile of mush and his cultivation was completely destroyed. Blood gushed out from his wounds.

“My apologies, but I’m at the Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana!” The handsome man said, flexing his fist.

One punch, and Huangfu Lengshan was out of the game!

Chapter 426: The Prime Minister and the Emperor

“Blaaargh*

Huangfu Lengshan was knocked out.

“Oh my God… Such… Such power is horrendous!”

Everyone save for Chen Xiaobei and Xiangyu exclaimed at the latter’s carnage. Wu Tianhe gaped, petrified, his eyes almost bulging.

Even Luo Puti could not believe her eyes. Despite knowing that Xiangyu’s cultivation was practically inhuman, to see him in action was another matter entirely. The person he just pummeled was not some kind of low-life thug either – he was the chief inspector of Six Doors Organization!

Chilling tendrils of fear gripped Canjin Gu. His pupils contracted, his heart thumped rapidly as if in a race, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

‘What the hell? I can’t take a punch from him if he can destroy Huangfu Lengshan with one hit!’ He thought. ‘Such fearsome power… Since when did such a powerful being exist? He doesn’t look above thirty but he’s already at the Pinnacle Phase of True Nirvana? He might as well be a god!’

“Klang*

The Japanese martial-arts prodigy tossed both of his katanas on the ground, kneeled in front of Xiangyu and started to beg. “Mercy… Mercy please… I’ll be your loyal servant if you would spare my life!”

“You’re talking to the wrong guy,” Xiangyu replied placidly. “Xiaobei is the boss here. You should beg him, not me…”.

“I…” Everyone was left dumbfounded again by Xiangyu – none of them expected that a super elite like Xiangyu would be Chen Xiaobei’s follower instead. It was utterly preposterous – it was like seeing a dragon obey an ordinary human! Luo Puti stared at Chen Xiaobei with her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open like she was his greatest fan. She felt that she could never get a read.

“Mr. Chen… What a great man!” Wu Tianhe gulped, feeling liberated after changing his attitude towards Chen Xiaobei earlier. He shuddered to think what might have ended if he kept treating the youth like a rival!

“Mr. Chen… Please spare my life… Please…” Cangjin Gu turned around and started to beseech him instead. “I was blessed in martial arts and also trained hard for thirty years to reach where I am today… I don’t want to die like this… Spare my life, and I will serve you – I will show my most sincere gratitude…”

“Sure, I could do spare a bodyguard who had nothing to do with the conspiracy…” Chen Xiaobei said. “But I can’t really trust you, so I’ll decide your fate with the Red Envelope I’m about to snatch!”

“Snatch… Red Envelopes?” Cangjin Gu gaped in incredulity, realizing that his life was about as important to Chen Xiaobei as some stupid Red Envelopes.

“Mr. Chen… You don’t have to snatch Red Envelopes… I could just give you all my money…” Cangjin Gu sobbed – he might lose his life just because Chen Xiaobei failed to snatch a Red Envelope!

“Shut up! You have nothing I want!” Chen Xiaobei stared daggers Cangjin Gu and silencing the man.

“Xiaobei… Stop messing around! Priorities! We need to capture everyone on this cargo ship, and hand it over to the government! I believe everything here is extremely valuable to our intelligence service!” Luo Puti frowned.

“Honey, you can go ahead and do whatever you like. I’ll come help once I’m done here…” Chen Xiaobei smiled. It was reasonable too – other than Cangjin Gu, the others aboard were mostly geeks. Luo Puti alone could deal with them.

“Don’t call me your honey!” Luo Puti pouted before leaving the room.

“I’ll go help her…” Wu Tianhe, aware that Chen Xiaobei was onto something secret, was smart enough to make his exit.

All the while, Chen Xiaobei was poring over his cellphone. He wanted an item from the Red Chat Group to make Cangjin Gu absolutely loyal to him.

Xiao Tianquan: God Chen, ‘sup?

Chen Xiaobei: Emergency! I’ll be blunt. I need some Heavenly Dog Biscuits; I’ll send sausages to you later…

Xiao Tianquan: (Salivating) Okay, okay. You have great timing! I’ve just made three, I’ll send them to you right now!

Chen Xiaobei: Thank you so much! I need to deal with something first; I’ll send the sausages to you later!

Xiao Tianquan: Hahaha! I’ll just sit tight and wait for the delicacies delivered to my doorstep!

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have snatched a Red Envelope from Xiao Tianquan! You have received three pieces of Heavenly Dog Biscuit! It has been stored in your treasure chest!]

Knowing the usage of the item, Chen Xiaobei quickly took a piece out from his treasure chest.

“Eat this!” He handed a piece of Heavenly Dog Biscuit to Cangjin Gu, who was stunned to see him obtain a piece of biscuit out of nowhere. He had his suspicions that Chen Xiaobei might be a sorcerer, but none of that mattered right now! Without a word of protest, he ate it immediately.

“Master…”

Cangjin Gu turned into Chen Xiaobei’s loyal servant instantly, and one who never betray him.

Ding!

[Cultivation: Pinnacle phase of Qi refining stage. Health: 20000. Combat power: 20000 (+5000)!]

Chen Xiaobei examined Cangjin Gu’s cultivation after he identified him as his master. ‘A Half-Step True Nirvana elite is my servant now!’ He thought. ‘This is awesome! Bahahaha…’

Initially, Chen Xiaobei wanted to make Huangfu Lengshan his servant as well, but the man’s treason against China meant he needs to be brought back to his country and punished. On the other hand, Cangjin Gu who was just an innocent samurai bodyguard doing his job. He would even prove useful when Chen Xiaobei brings him along when he travels to Japan!

“Little Cang, who are the most powerful figures in Japan?” Chen Xiaobei asked with a grin.

“The prime minister and the Emperor.” Cangjin Gu answered immediately.

“What a coincidence!” Chen Xiaobei smiled darkly. “I have two more Heavenly Dog Biscuits left to feed them when I reach Japan! Hehehe…”

“They’ll be honored to become your servants!” Cangjin Gu agreed.

“Xiaobei… Where is Japan” Xiangyu asked, puzzled.

“It’s another country. But!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed, beaming as he pointed at himself. “It will soon become my backyard!”

Ding!

[Congratulations…]

Chapter 427: Coquette

Ding!

[You have eliminated a fifth-generation baddie. You have received 50000 merit points!]

Ding!

[Congratulation! You are now Philanthropist the Second!]

Ding!

[Your current merit points are 50000! You need another 40000 to reach the next level. (Charm: 5000. Luck: 5000)!]

“Huh. These merit points must be from killing Poseidon!” Chen Xiaobei said excitedly. “So that bitch is a fifth-generation bad guy… Fantastic! Now I have fifty thousand merit points now. It’s still a cry from the three hundred and thirty-three thousand merit points I had before, but this is definitely progress!”

“I’m not far from the top of the world, and my merit points would definitely multiply when I travel to Japan and kill those sons of bitches. I shall control your prime minister and Emperor since all of you got Poseidon to control our Six Doors Organization!”

Cangjin Gu knew everything happening aboard cargo ship. He told Luo Puti all she needed to know, including the number of crews onboard, their whereabouts and how to shut down communications with Japan. The cargo ship then set course for the nearest military port, where all the staff and equipment aboard would be moved to Dragon City. It was definitely a big score for Chinese Intelligence!

Chen Xiaobei had planned for a travel to Dragon City too, but he still had things to deal with. He took Cangjin Gu along with him back to Green Vine City after saying goodbye to Luo Puti; he did not need to worry about her safety now that Xiangyu was with her.

Before heading home, Chen Xiaobei brought Cangjin Gu to a shopping center for some new clothes, as well as a Guqin container to store his katanas.

The Japanese martial arts prodigy looked normal after the transformation, which in turn spared Chen Xiaobei from his parent’s curiosity. He simply told them that Cangjin Gu was the elder cousin of Yap Liangchen. His recent increase in charm points helped him fool his parents easily.

Nevertheless, Chen Xiaobei did not need to worry about the safety of his parents anymore since both Yap Liangchen and Canjin Gu were there to protect his parents.

He also did not plan to contact Lin Nan and Lin Xiang anytime soon since only Luo Puti and himself were privy to their true identities. Both of them were traveling to Dragon City as ordinary citizens, and any excessive security measures on his part would only raise suspicions.

Chen Xiaobei did not stay at home for dinner because Wenyuan and Xiaoyao had been calling him for a while, saying that they wanted to meet him as soon as possible. Both girls did not know how to cook, which was why they chose to eat out with him at a western restaurant.

Wenyuan had been staying with Xiaoyao after the cruise incident; both of them had quickly become best friends.

“Xiaobei!”

Wenyuan sprinted towards Chen Xiaobei when she saw Chen Xiaobei walk into the restaurant and held on to his arm tightly with her breasts pushing up against him. She was wearing t-shirt too – Chen Xiaobei almost had a massive nose bleed because of Wenyuan’s flirting.

“Wenyuan, come back here!” Xiaoyao exclaimed. “That animal is trying to take advantage of you, don’t you know that?”

“Hehe… Sister Xiaoyao, calm down. I don’t mind Xiaobei taking advantage of me – in fact, I’m the one who wants to eat him up!” Wenyuan spoke without restraint since they were no strangers

Chen Xiaobei gulped and stared at Wenyuan’s bust. ‘Well, I think this pair of fair and bouncy fun bags must be very delicious too!’ He thought.

“Silly girl… Stop spewing nonsense, Wenyuan. Come here!” Xiaoyao quickly barked when she saw his lecherous gaze. “You are too na?ve! That animal just wants to take advantage of you. As your sister, I can’t just sit by and watch you jump into a pit of fires!”

“Okay, okay… Xiaobei hubby, come sit with us…” Wenyuan pulled him to the table. It was a small round table, decorated in a classical European fashion with tablecloth and cutleries.

“Eh?” Chen Xiaobei felt a jolt in his body before he could say a thing. A soft and gentle hand was drawing circles on his thigh. It must be Wenyuan’s hand – she was trying to make him as aroused as possible.

“Silly girl, don’t joke around when it comes to sex… And it’s inappropriate for intimacy between men and women in public! Understand?” Xiaoyao kept cautioning Wenyuan about being taken advantage by men as if she really were her elder sister.

“Okay, understood… Sister Xiaoyao, let’s order some food – I’m famished! Let’s talk about the serious stuff over dinner!” Wenyuan nodded.

“Alright… Waitress? We would like order now!” Xiaoyao took the menu and started to read it.

Meanwhile, Wenyuan became even bolder; she slid her hand into Chen Xiabei’s inner thigh.

*Cough*

*Cough*

After faking a few coughs to hide his embarrassment, Chen Xiaobei moved close to Wenyuan and whispered: “Stop fooling around… This is a public place, we will be humiliated if others catch us doing this stuff…”

“But it’s exciting! Hehehe….” Wenyuan grinned.

She may look like a cute and innocent child on the surface, but Chen Xiaobei himself knew how much of a coquette she was. She was the first to steal a kiss from him, the first who dressed up as a maid to seduce him as well as the first to mention eating him up! There was no question that she would do the latter without any hesitation too, given the right time and place.

Xiaoyao was oblivious of Wenyuan’s true nature – meaning that she was the actual ‘silly girl’ here.

Soon, the dishes came and Wenyuan finally shifted her attention from him and assaulted the steak in front of her. Chen Xiaobei was relieved – he might have turned into a beast if Wenyuan sexually harassing him.

“So, why did you two call me out to day?” He asked.

“Uhmm…” Wenyuan could not speak with her mouth full, and so Xiaoyao spoke instead.

She looked around before leaning in to ask: “I want to talk about saving my father. Have you forgotten?”

“How could I forget? Just tell me. How do I rescue him? I’ll go immediately if it’s within my power!”

During the incident of the Emperor Yan’s tomb, Chen Xiaobei had acquired Emperor Yan’s Unwavering Body Fortifying Skill Book and Emperor Yan’s body while also cultivating his Chaos Sword Essence. He would never forget what Murong Tian gave him.

“My dad used to be the disciple of Golden Dragon Temple,” Xiaoyao explained. “And to leave that faction for good, the disciple needs to challenge the Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies.” Xiaoyao said.

“I see. And what is that labyrinth thing?” Chen asked.

Translator’s note

Chapter 428: A Small Foot

“The Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies is the hardest test in Golden Dragon Temple. Only those who clear it can leave the faction.” Xiaoyao elaborated. “Initially, people not from the Golden Dragon Temple were prohibited from challenging it. However, since we handled the Emperor Yan’s tomb incident perfectly we could talk to the head of the Golden Dragon Temple to make an exception. That could work!”

“So…you’re asking me to enter the Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies?” Chen Xiaobei asked in surprise.

“Stop flattering yourself. You don’t stand a chance!” Xiaoyao replied bluntly. “The Golden Dragon Temple is a holy place for martial artists in China, and the Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies had been designed with their disciples in mind. It’s impossible for anyone to clear it without ten thousand combat power and considerable skills!”

“I see. Then why bother asking me to come here? You’re wasting my time…” Chen Xiaobei rolled his eyes.

“No, but I need Xiangyu. I think he would easily pass the Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies with his power!” Xiaoyao pouted.

“Bro Yu doesn’t have the time. I’ll conquer the Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies myself after I’ve increased my combat power!” Chen Xiaobei shot back.

‘How dare this girl underestimate me?’ He thought. ‘Whatever happens, I’ll save her father by myself. And it’s not like Bro Yu is free – handing the cargo ship over to the government should be his priority right now!’

“Why wouldn’t he have the time?” Xiaoyao frowned.

“Bro Yu just joined the military not too long ago. The discipline is really tight over there!” Chen Xiaobei made up a story on the spot.

Technically, it was true that Xiangyu joined the military – Chen Xiaobei only lied about the part about discipline. When he was caught by Poseidon, a superior officer in the Thunder Kirin Special Forces did not permit Xiangyu to leave Dragon City to help him. Xiangyu, however, simply beat up a few officers before walking away.

“Joining the military? Why so sudden… I guess I have to wait…” Xiaoyao said dejectedly.

“You don’t have to wait for long. With enough Spiritual Qi I could reach ten thousand combat power soon!” Chen Xiaobei said confidently.

“Enough with the tough-guy act!” Xiaoyao rolled her eyes and pouted. “The Labyrinth of Wooden Dummies is not a joke. I would have to care for you until the day you die if you get crippled!”

“Oh, my!” Chen Xiaobei beamed. “So, you weren’t underestimating me, but was worried that I might get hurt… Flatboard, you’ve changed! And you’re willing to take care of me? I’m so touched I could cry! What should I do?”

“Asshole! I’m not flat at all! Your whole family is flat!” Xiaoyao retorted.

Since Wenyuan moved in, Xiaoyao had been eyeing Wenyuan’s ample bosom constantly and became even more conscious of her own chest. She would give anyone who had the guts to criticize her poor endowment one hell of a beating!

“I told you I could help enlarge your bosom!” Chen Xiaobei clicked his tongue.

“You’re just going to take advantage of me! How could I agree to that?” Xiaoyao growled.

“So big!” Wenyuan exclaimed. She had dropped her fork and knife while staring at the entrance of the restaurant in shock.

“So huge…” Every man in the restaurant were entranced. Chen Xiaobei turned to look too – it was a woman whose ravishing looks and perfect body who would grip the hearts of all men! Her majestic bust alone could crush any man’s resolve!

“Chen Xiaobei, you degenerate! Your mind went blank as soon as you saw those breasts!” Xiaoyao barked, but was left dumbfounded when she saw another pair of huge breasts bouncing in front of her.

She began to consider Chen Xiaobei’s offer to enlarge her breasts!

“Qincheng!” Chen Xiaobei called out and waved at the perfect specimen of a woman, who smiled and walked towards him. Every man in the restaurant were unbelievably envious of him.

“Why are you here?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“That’s a funny question. I’m a human and I need to eat too!” Song Qincheng smiled, and her young vixen aura quickly stuffed the restaurant.

“Do sit down with us. We’ve barely started!” Chen Xiaobei offered cheerfully.

“Sure, but would these two beauties here mind?” Song Qincheng asked politely.

Wenyuan and Xiaoyao were taken aback. They could not believe that Chen Xiaobei had so much luck with women.

On the other hand, Song Qincheng also thought that the both of them had the looks of idols. She was already thinking about recruiting them into her company so that she could train them into stars!

“We don’t mind at all! Please have a seat, big sister!” Wenyuan grinned and pointed at the seat across Chen Xiaobei.

“Please have a seat…” Xiaoyao nodded. She was a really friendly preson towards anyone, except Chen Xiaobei.

Song Qincheng ordered a bowl of fruit salad after introducing herself – the very manner in which she ate it was extraordinarily elegant.

“Eh?”

Chen Xiaobei twitched again. Something moving under the table had quickly engorged him! He gulped, and slipped his hand quietly under the table to feel around. It did not take long for him to find a foot wrapped in stockings, that was stroking his rigid member passionately.

It was Song Qincheng’s foot!

Goodness!

Chen Xiaobei was aroused once more. A woman’s foot had always been men’s favorite – ancient poets would always compare fair and soft feet to a bottle of good wine!

Although Chen Xiaobei himself was unsure where he stood at the spectrum of foot fetishes, but he enjoyed it well enough. It was just so perfectly shaped and soft! Her foot must have been the stigma of a flower – anyone who kissed it would get the sweet taste of nectar.

“Xiaobei… What are you swallowing? You keep gulping but you’re not eating,” Wenyuan asked innocently, cocking her head.

“No… Nothing…” Chen Xiaobei’s face turned red immediately.

He quickly unhanded Song Qincheng’s foot. However, she clearly has no intention of stopping anytime soon although she was still eating her fruit salad stylishly and pretending that nothing was happening under the table.

To others, she was a chic lady. But for a lover, she was an irresistible succubus! A legendary female that every man craves for!

“I need to go to the bathroom…” Unable to hold it in, Chen Xiaobei quickly stood up, but Song Qincheng stopped him before he could leave.

“Such a coincidence!” She exclaimed, before putting down her cutlery and rising like a queen. “Me too!”

After dabbing her mouth with a napkin, she followed Chen Xiaobei to the bathroom.

Chapter 429: Sanshi Martial Art Competition

“Lady!” Chen Xiaobei exclaimed as soon as they reached the toilet. “I’m gonna eat you if you tease me again!”

“Can’t wait! I was even afraid that you wouldn’t do it!”

She was all over him even before he could turn around. Her hands were wrapped around his waist, and her soft, red lips were gnawing his earlobes.

“Si…” Chen Xiaobei could feel every bit of his strength evacuating his body. He knew she was a tease, but he never expected that she would make a move on him like this!

“Surely you haven’t forgotten about me? Even though I’m not as young as the two girls out there, I’m still a lady. And only I can give you what you need!” She whispered with a mesmerizing voice.

Stunned, Chen Xiaobei took a few heartbeats to recover. “Forget you? How could I? There’s just… too many urgent businesses these two days… I would’ve come straight to your doorsteps otherwise!”

“Don’t bother trying to trick me.” Song Qincheng purred. “You and I have already touched each other intimately. It’s only because of you that I’m still alive – if you don’t want me anymore, you may as well kill me!”

Feeling her soft breasts pressing against him, Chen Xiaobei started to feel himself grow flaccid. “It’s easy to eat you up, but why the rush?”

“I’ve promised Fan Tong that I’m returning to Crimson City in three days. Tomorrow is the last day and I’ve already got the plane tickets,” Song Qincheng lowered her voice. “If you don’t take my virginity tonight, there is a nine out of ten chance that I will be sent to an old fart!”

“Oh, so that’s why,” Chen Xiaobei mumbled as he realized the reason behind her insatiable lust – her limbs were all over him because of her circumstances.

Cupping her hand gently, he told her: “I’ll go to Crimson City with you tomorrow.”

“What?! You want to go with me?” Song Qincheng could not believe her ears.

“What? Do I look like the kind of man who abandons his lady after making out?” Chen Xiaobei said as if he had thought long and hard about it. “Don’t worry, you are my woman and I will do anything for you. If anyone dares to cause you trouble and pain, I’ll make them regret it forever!”

Song Qincheng was completely speechless. After seeing the ugly face of society at her meager age, she came to think of Chen Xiaobei as just another man who coveted her body – the sort of man who was only into one-night-stands.

She thought that they would simply become strangers and never cross paths ever again after the fact, which was why she never expect him to offer to travel to Crimson Cloud City with her!

It was no laughing matter either. The Fan Family was the most powerful family in Crimson Cloud City; they could do whatever they wanted at their turf. For Chen Xiaobei to travel to Crimson Cloud City was like Fan Tong going to Green Vine City – there was no way he would return in one piece. They would only let him leave after breaking him, and yet here he was, making his decision without thinking twice!

Song Qincheng’s eyes reddened at its corners. A soft, fleshy part of her heart was deeply touched. She had to endure a sham of a marriage that brought her terrible pain for so many years. The man who was supposed to protect her like Chen Xiaobei was now was just a cheat and a bastard! Because of those terrible memories, she cherished Chen Xiaobei’s devotion to her even more.

“You can’t go, Fan Family is too powerful! Fan Tong would never spare you!” She protested, chewing on her lower lip. Despite her terrible experience, she was definitely not a selfish woman – there was no way she would put Chen Xiaobei in an awkward situation.

But Chen Xiaobei merely smiled. “Don’t worry, it’s just the Fan Family! They aren’t a big deal. If I can’t even handle this problem, how could I call myself your man?”

“I know you’re not an ordinary person, but Fan Tong knows people — dangerous people!” Song Qingcheng exclaimed in panic. “Ever since he started practicing martial arts, he made connections with many Jianghu folks. Those guys are powerful and brutal! Killing is just a game to them!”

“It’s fine, I’ve already decided. Quick, book me a ticket. I want to sit next to you!” Chen Xiaobei replied calmly and gave her well-rounded, tight buttocks a slap. The sensation was simply amazing.

“Stop joking around! I protest!” Song Qincheng scolded. She was no longer smiling. “Even if you aren’t intimidated by the Jianghu folks, don’t forget that there is still that old prick! That old man has scary powers; he was even rumored to control evil spirits that could kill his enemies. Not even the master from Golden Dragon Temple could lift a finger against him!”

“Golden Dragon Temple?” Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. “The Golden Dragon Temple is in Crimson Cloud City?”

“He might as well not be there even if it was. The three cities of Jiangdong – Crimson Cloud, Baihe, and Zijiang has roads leading to the Golden Dragon Temple, but it’s located at a zone where all three passageways from the city intersect. Therefore, it doesn’t belong to any city.”

Chen Xiaobei flinched. “Speaking of which, I recall some major headlines last year about those three cities fighting for the title of Martial Art City,” he said. “The incident was so serious that the authorities of the entire province had to step out to settle the mess.”

Song Qincheng nodded. “They were trying to fix the images of those cities, but the Jianghu folks from those three cities keep making a huge fuss. Now, they are even organizing a secret Sanshi Martial Art Competition annually.”

“Martial Art Competition?” Chen Xiaobei’s curiosity was piqued. “What is that?”

“A martial art competition to determine the most powerful person in Jianghu. The winner would be given absolute authority over decisions that could shape the world of martial arts, and they would be greatly rewarded too!”

“Reward? What kind of reward?” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes twinkled with interest. It was highly likely that the reward was not something tacky like money – getting rich does not appeal to most martial artists after all.

“I’m not too surea about that; I only know whatever Fan Tong talk about with his friends when they gathered at his house. They did mention that the reward could be either a martial-art manual, a weapon or a Spirit Stone…” Song Qincheng looked up as she thought about it.

“Spirit Stone?!” Chen Xiaobei’s face lit up. The Spiritual Qi from Spirit Stones was what he needed the most. With the Scripture of Heaven and Earth and the Indestructible Body Enhancement Skill of the Eternal King, he could raise his cultivation exponentially if he had enough Spiritual Qi!

It was also of the utmost urgency that he rescues Murong Tian. He must improve his cultivation quickly to complete the mission!

“What is it? Why are you so excited?” Baffled, Song Qincheng cocked her head, and strands of her silky hair fell off her snow-white shoulder.

“When is this Tri City Martial Art Competition usually held?” Chen Xiaobei swiftly asked, ignoring her question.

Song Qincheng considered it for a while. “If I’m not mistaken, it should be in a few days.” She replied. “Why?”

“Hurry, book my ticket! I must go to Crimson Cloud City to have a look!” Chen Xiaobei was so animated he wanted to kiss her right then. “I would have you once you’ve booked the ticket!”

Chapter 430: Who’s the First

” Hubby Xiaobei, what were you guys doing in the toilet? You guys were gone a long time!” Wenyuan quickly ran to Chen Xiaobei and held his arm tightly, while shooting a wary glare at Song Qincheng.

“We were discussing some serious business.” Chen Xiaobei simply made made up something. It was fortunate that Song Qincheng was booking flight tickets on her cellphone when they were found – he would have a hard time explaining why he had his hands all over Song Qincheng otherwise.

“You’re lying! Just look at your face, it’s just so red! I’m pretty sure you had some sexy time with her in the toilet!” Wenyuan pouted, clearly getting jealous of Song Qincheng.

Knowing that shallow answers would not work on Wenyuan, Chen Xiaobei quickly switched gears. “I’m not lying. Remember when you told me about your dream?”

“That’s right, my dream is to enter the entertainment industry and become a superstar! Hehe…” Wenyuan smiled innocently, her envy quickly vaporizing.

“Then let me introduce Qincheng to you again. She’s the boss of Qincheng Entertainment Agency at Dragon City, I was talking to her about recruiting you!” Chen Xiaobei lied blatantly with a straight face.

“Really?!” Wenyuan was delighted. She quickly pushed him aside and clung onto Song Qincheng’s arm immediately. “Sister Qincheng. Can you please recruit and train me to become a superstar?! Just look at me, I have such a pretty face, and such a sexy body. I’ll admit that I can’t compare to you, but there’s space for me to grow – am I right?”

“Yes! What a coincidence, I was just going to recruit you and that other little girl… I’m pretty sure I could make superstars of you both!” Song Qincheng smiled despite her surprise. While she already did have the intention to recruit them in the first place, she did not know how to start the conversation.

“Oh my god. My dream is about to come true! From today onwards, Sister Qincheng will be my agent. When are we heading to Dragon City? I really can’t wait!” Wenyuan hoped around excitedly, beaming from ear to ear.

“Cool down first,” Chen Xiaobei told her. “Qincheng has to go back to her hometown to deal with some serious matters before heading to Dragon City.”

“That’s fine. Hubby Xiaobei, will you be going to Dragon City as well?” Wenyuan asked, one hand clutching on Song Qincheng’s arm and the other on his.

“I’ll definitely go. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll travel to Dragon City after I rescued Xiaoyao’s father.” Chen Xiaobei said.

“Perfect! Perfect! I have a good hubby, a best friend, and now an agent! From today onwards, we are one big happy family!”

The best friend mentioned was Xiaoyao.

The hubby and agent were…

Chen Xiaobei and Song Qincheng stared at each other with an inexplicably bizarre feeling.

“I’ll tell Sister Xiaoyao!” Wenyuan floated to her best friend like a butterfly.

“I hope I didn’t trouble you?” Chen Xiaobei asked Song Qincheng

“You didn’t. Wenyuan is more than qualified to become a superstar – in fact, thank you for helping me recruit her!” Song Qincheng fiddled with her own hair before chuckling. “Hmmm. So, I’m Wenyuan’s agent, and I intend to bang her hubby… A little shameless, aren’t I!”

“Haha… You aren’t the only one who wants to bang me,” Chen Xiaobei smiled. “And certainly not the first. I could also assure you that you won’t be the last either… So, don’t think too much about it!”

“Don’t you feel embarrassed, saying something like that?” Song Qincheng pouted and blushed.

“It’s a crazy world. Why should I act innocent? A handsome man like me is destined to be surrounded by beautiful women! It’s my fate, it’s unavoidable…” Chen Xiaobei sighed and made a pose.

“My word! You sure talk highly about yourself… But if so many women want to jump you, why are you still a virgin?”

“I… Woman! You’re playing with fire!” Chen Xiaobei grinned, his eyes narrowing.

“Don’t you know? Women like me love playing with fire…” Song Qincheng whispered, biting down on her own luscious red lips. “After that, we’ll put out the fire too!”

“Brother Zhao asked you to help me with so
