Li Xiaoyao circulated the Eight-Nine Mystical Art, and the gentle spiritual power in his Dantian instantly sharpened as it followed the trajectory of his sword technique.

Li Xiaoyao could clearly sense that the spiritual power in his veins had, in that moment, transformed into sharp Sword Qi, circulating within his body.

After completing a minor circulation, Li Xiaoyao immediately felt that the spiritual power in his Dantian had become more robust and, compared to its previous gentleness, now possessed more offensive power.

In the deep of night, Li Xiaoyao's body, seated cross-legged on the ground, slowly levitated into the air, appearing extraordinarily mystical.

Outside the door, Zhang Meng, wearing a thin, semi-transparent nightgown, slowly approached. She extended her hand to push open the door, emitting a soft creak.

Hearing the noise, Li Xiaoyao immediately opened his eyes.

In the darkness, Li Xiaoyao's eyes emitted a gleaming light; despite it being night, his vision was as clear as day.

Li Xiaoyao caught sight of Zhang Meng peeking her head in and looking around, and he couldn't help but smile slightly before getting up and walking over.

Your next read awaits at empire

Zhang Meng hadn't reacted yet when Li Xiaoyao had already embraced her, causing her to let out a soft exclamation before quickly covering her mouth.

"You little minx, what are you doing in my room in the middle of the night?" Li Xiaoyao playfully slapped her buttocks, feigning ignorance.

"I… I just…"

Before she could finish, Li Xiaoyao had already bent down to kiss her lips, slowly moving towards the bed.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

...

The next day, in the early morning.

Li Xiaoyao got up from the bed, got dressed, and then washed up.

Zhang Meng had been up until midnight with Li Xiaoyao, and then dragged her weary body back to her own room.

After washing up, Li Xiaoyao went downstairs and saw that Zhang Meng had already gotten up and made a sumptuous breakfast.

While eating breakfast, Li Xiaoyao said, "If you have time today, go take a turn at Chaotian Palace and see which stores are looking to sublet or sell."

"Okay."

After breakfast, Li Xiaoyao left the house.

No sooner had he left the residential community than his phone rang.

It was Zhu Xiaoyue calling.

Since returning from Zhangshan County, Li Xiaoyao and Zhu Xiaoyue hadn't seen each other.

On one hand, Zhu Xiaoyue's shoulder was injured. Treating the wound and recuperating took time.

On the other hand, the drug traffickers captured from Zhangshan County needed her personal attention.

Li Xiaoyao hailed a taxi, got in, and asked, "How's the shoulder injury?"

"What's it to you if my shoulder is hurt? Humph, you didn't even bother to call me once you got back. If I hadn't taken the initiative to call you, were you planning on never looking me up?" Zhu Xiaoyue said resentfully.

Li Xiaoyao touched his nose and replied, "I've been quite busy these past few days. See, I was just about to call you when you beat me to it."

"All talk," Zhu Xiaoyue muttered, then continued, "The matter with those drug traffickers from Zhangshan County is settled. I lay in the hospital for two days and I'm getting discharged today. Come and pick me up this afternoon."

"Sure, I'll wait for you at the hospital," Li Xiaoyao agreed without hesitation.

"I want to eat hot pot, you're treating," Zhu Xiaoyue said, slightly coquettishly.

Li Xiaoyao grandly declared, "Today you're the boss, we'll eat whatever you want."

Out of the blue, Zhu Xiaoyue asked in a low voice, "You're going to treat me to food, what if your girlfriend finds out?"

Li Xiaoyao was all exasperation as he said, "Are you sure you want to know the answer to that question?"

"Hehe, just kidding, we're good bros, even if your girlfriend finds out it's no big deal." Zhu Xiaoyue said this intentionally for her own ears, she probably felt a bit guilty about doing so.

"Let's talk when we meet up this afternoon, I have to get to work." After hanging up, Li Xiaoyao rubbed his face.

Maintaining relationships with several girls at the same time was something Li Xiaoyao found perfectly acceptable.

As for whether Li Xiaoyao felt any guilt or remorse,

Li Xiaoyao genuinely did not.

As his power grew stronger, Li Xiaoyao's way of thinking had also drastically changed.

When it came to women, Li Xiaoyao always held an attitude of mutual willingness—if they could accept that, then they would continue; if not, then they'd go their separate ways.

Arriving at the company, Li Xiaoyao got into his car and half an hour later, he parked outside Lin Yuanyuan's villa.

Li Xiaoyao made a phone call, saying, "I'm at the gate."

Lin Yuanyuan's sleepy voice came from the phone, "Huh? What gate?"

Three lines of frustration appeared on Li Xiaoyao's forehead as he asked, "Aren't you up yet?"

"Li Xiaoyao! Ah, you're here!" Lin Yuanyuan jumped up from her bed and said, "Wait for me for ten minutes," before hanging up the phone.

A woman's words, especially Lin Yuanyuan's, were obviously not to be taken at face value.

She said it would be ten minutes.

But in reality, Li Xiaoyao sat in the car and ended up waiting for an hour without a sign of Lin Yuanyuan.

If it weren't for Li Xiaoyao occasionally using his spiritual power to check, he would have really thought Lin Yuanyuan had been kidnapped.

Just as Li Xiaoyao was about to lose his patience, the villa's gate finally opened, and Lin Yuanyuan, dressed in a black long dress and looking exquisite, gracefully stepped out of the villa and walked towards Li Xiaoyao.

At that moment, Li Xiaoyao was stunned.

This woman was indeed pretty capricious, but at this time, even Li Xiaoyao had to admit that Lin Yuanyuan was like a goddess.

Her figure was the golden ratio, the black dress outlined a perfect curve, and the skin beginning to be exposed from the thigh up had a bizarre energy that made men's gazes involuntarily focus on her.

Li Xiaoyao was initially quite upset, but upon seeing Lin Yuanyuan dressed elegantly like a princess, his mood immediately improved.

Indeed, beautiful women always have a therapeutic effect.

As soon as she got into the car, Lin Yuanyuan asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"I have," Li Xiaoyao started the car.

"Ah, you already ate, but I haven't yet, I'm so hungry," Lin Yuanyuan looked at Li Xiaoyao with her big eyes, pitifully pleading.

Li Xiaoyao was not falling for it; others might not understand this woman, but he knew her all too well.

Her tender and pitiful act was just that—an act. Being a shrewish woman was her true nature.

But breakfast was still necessary, so Li Xiaoyao stopped the car randomly at a roadside breakfast stall and said, "Get whatever you want to eat yourself."

Lin Yuanyuan glanced at the roadside stall and was immediately on the verge of exploding, but the words came out in a coquettish tone, "I want to eat something else, this place is dirty and unsanitary, eating here could give you diarrhea."

Li Xiaoyao remained unfazed, "I eat here every day and have never gotten diarrhea."

Lin Yuanyuan was so infuriated she wanted to grind her teeth, but knowing Li Xiaoyao's temperament, she had to compromise and said, "Fine, I'll have some potstickers, please get me a serving."

Li Xiaoyao took out a cigarette and lit it, "Help yourself, there'll be plenty to eat."
