illicit relationship

"Congratulation, young master Xiao." Lan Ruoxi walked closer towards him while clapping her hands. "Your speed is now in the category of the high-level master stage."

Even though Lan Ruoxi was smiling, but actually, she was surprised. Xiao Tian broke through to the mid-level master stage not long ago.

Not only that, he even managed to raise his speed to the high-level master stage category in less than a month.

This was something challenging to achieve. Not anyone could do something like him.

"Thank you." Xiao Tian responded as he smiled.

"With your reflexes and speed already in the category of the high-level master stage, it almost can be said that any martial artist at the high-level master stage is no big deal for you." Lan Ruoxi dared to say something like this because Xiao Tian still had two trump cards.

With the help of battle instinct and his secret techniques, Lan Ruoxi believed he could even defeat extraordinary martial artists at the high-level master stage.

"But I'm still not satisfied because this is not enough to defeat you." Xiao Tian knew that he was still too weak to fight Lan Ruoxi. "My goal is to defeat you."

"You should not set your goal on me." Lan Ruoxi responded, "There are many martial artists who are stronger than me in China. You just haven't met them yet. You should aim to be the strongest martial artist."

"But I don't want to be the strongest martial artist. I only want beauty." When Xiao Tian said this, he was telling the truth.

He indeed had no intention of becoming the strongest martial artist as it would be troublesome.

Xiao Tian was a simple man. He only wanted money and beautiful women. As long as he could protect the people he cared about, it was enough for him.

He did not care whether he would become the number 1000th or something like that because his dreams were to have a harem and make his predecessor's dream come true.

"Hehe. As expected of a playboy, your answer is exactly what playboy would say." Actually, Lan Ruoxi had guessed that he would say something like that because he had told her that he had no desire to become the strongest martial artist.

"Let's go to that old man's house now." Xiao Tian uttered,

"Alright." Lan Ruoxi answered.

Then Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi went straight to Lian Xun's house.

------

As usual, Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi rested at the waterfall after doing their tasks. Currently, they were sitting under a tree and enjoying the beautiful scenery in front of them.

At this moment, Xiao Tian's smartphone suddenly rang.

'Crystal?'

Xiao Tian was startled when he found out the person who was calling him was none other than Crystal.

'Does she have something he wants to say to me?'

Xiao Tian wasted no time and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Xiao Tian, do you have free time today?" Crystal inquired,

"Yes. What's wrong?" Xiao Tian actually had no idea whether he would have free time or not later.

However, because he thought it was something important, he decided to say something like that.

"Good," Crystal responded. "Let's go on a date later."

"….Alright. What time are we going on a date?" actually, Xiao Tian was startled by her words.

However, he instantly understood the reason why Crystal suddenly wanted them to go on a date. He believed that she was forced by her master to go on a date with him.

Because he had agreed to be her fake lover, he could not refuse, or else her master would be suspicious later.

"Let's meet at Shanghai River at 04:00 pm later." the reason why Crystal wanted them to meet at Shanghai River was that she only knew a few romantic places.

Until now, she only focused on her job as an assassin or practiced martial arts. That was why she only knew a few romantic places.

"Alright." Xiao Tian responded.

Because she had nothing to say to Xiao Tian anymore, Crystal hung up the phone.

"As expected of a playboy, it seems like you have a new lover now." even though Lan Ruoxi was not sure whether Crystal was Xiao Tian's lover or not, she still said that because Crystal and Xiao Tian would go on a date later.

"lady Lan, how about you become my lover too?" because Xiao Tian could not tell the truth, he did not deny it.

As usual, Lan Ruoxi's answer was the same. "You have to beat me in a fight fir-"

Before Lan Ruoxi had finished her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Tian. "You are going to say I have to beat you first, right?"

'Sigh. I'm tired of hearing these words.'

Xiao Tian added in his mind.

"That's right. Hehe." After saying that, Lan Ruoxi giggled because Xiao Tian's expression was funny in her eyes.

Xiao Tian pretended to be sad. "If we started practicing martial arts at the same time, I would definitely be stronger than you by now."

"You are just unlucky." Lan Ruoxi replied.

"This is the first time a woman keeps bullying me." In his two lives, he had never experienced anything like this.

However, he could not do anything because he was still weaker than her.

"Hehe." like before, Lan Ruoxi giggled. "I will continue bullying you as long as you keep saying these words. That's why I recommend you not to say it if you are still weaker than me."

Xiao Tian touched his chin and spoke, "Mmm. Maybe I should buy a gun later. With this, I'm sure I can beat you later."

Black lines formed on Lan Ruoxi's forehead after hearing his words.

Xiao Tian turned his head towards her and uttered, "That's not against the rules, is it?"

Lan Ruoxi did not say anything. She finally remembered that Xiao Tian was someone who would do anything as long as he could achieve his goals.

"Hahaha." Xiao Tian could not help but burst into waves of laughter after seeing her expression.

He didn't expect that Lan Ruoxi would take his words seriously.

"Don't worry. I was joking. I will fight you fairly in the future." Xiao Tian then rose to his feet. "Let's go see that old man."

"All right." Lan Ruoxi answered.

-----

Time went by quickly, and without realizing it, it was already 03:00 pm. Currently, Xiao Tian was in his office.

Because Shanghai River was not far from his Star Clothes company headquarters, Xiao Tian kept working.

At 03:20 pm, Xiao Tian traveled to Shanghai River.

'It's still 03:50 pm.'

Without waiting for another second, Xiao Tian headed to the gate of Shanghai River. It was the place where they agreed to meet earlier.

To his surprise, he saw Crystal standing near the gate. "Crystal, you have arrived?"

Crystal turned her head to the source of the sound. "I just arrived."

"Let's go." Xiao Tian uttered,

"Un." Crystal nodded her head.

As Xiao Tian and Crystal were walking, they talked about many things. Even though it was their first date, they enjoyed it so much.

They were laughing, chatting, and joking together. Sure, they still saw each other as friends, but they looked like lovers at that time.

'I'm glad she is happy.'

As Xiao Tian was looking at her, Crystal suddenly did something unexpected.
