The dragon vein of Kunlun Mountain?
Ye Qiu’s heart jolted, and he hurriedly asked, “Old man, you really found it?”
“Would I lie to you?” Master Longbrow said excitedly, “I’m telling you, little rascal, the dragon vein of Kunlun is insanely powerful. Compared to it, the Tai Mountain dragon vein is a weakling.”
“I reckon, if we tap into Kunlun’s dragon vein, our cultivation will skyrocket.”
“Hurry to Kunlun Mountain!”
Ye Qiu sensed something off. Master Longbrow was greedy, if he’d truly found the dragon vein, would he kindly invite Ye Qiu to share it?
There must be a catch.
“Little rascal, I’m warning you, if you’re late, the dragon vein’s mine. Don’t blame me for hogging it.”
Unbeknownst to him, these words only deepened Ye Qiu’s suspicions.
Daoist Chongxu was also at Kunlun. If the old man had really found the dragon vein, would Chongxu let him keep it all?
Just then, Daoist Chongxu’s voice came through the phone.
“Ye Qiu, don’t listen to this old fool. Yes, we found Kunlun’s dragon vein, but it’s elusive, vanishing right after appearing.”
“This old coot tricked me into searching with him in this icy wasteland, and we found nothing.”
“Who knows when we’ll see it again.”
Hmph!
Ye Qiu snorted, “I knew it. If you’d really found the dragon vein, why would you call me?”
Master Longbrow’s voice came again.
“Little rascal, don’t listen to that nosy priest. Get to Kunlun quick, together we’ll find that dragon vein.”
“Once we harness it, our cultivation will break past the King’s peak. We won’t need to wait a year, we can enter the cultivation world early.”
“Aren’t you worried about Wushuang’s safety? Come to Kunlun, don’t miss this chance.”
“You old fool, keep tricking me, and I’ll end you,” Ye Qiu, seething with anger, roared and hung up.
He stormed over to Baihua Fairy, glaring coldly, “Forgot what I told you?”
Baihua Fairy retorted, “Which part?”
Ye Qiu said, “I warned you before, in the mortal world, you follow its rules, no causing trouble. Did you take my words as nothing?”
Baihua Fairy replied, “If that punk hadn’t spewed filth, would I have killed him? He deserved it.”
“Even now, you won’t admit your mistake? If I hadn’t shown up, you think you’d walk out of here?” Ye Qiu said, “You may be powerful, but don’t forget, the mortal world has experts too.”
Baihua Fairy didn’t back down, “So what? Didn’t he deserve it?”
Furious, Ye Qiu slapped her below the waist.
“Ah—”
Baihua Fairy yelped in pain.
At the same time, a strange sensation stirred in her, a flush spreading across her face.
“You bastard, how dare you hit me, I’ll fight you!” She swung a palm at Ye Qiu.
As the master of Baihua Palace, sixth on the cultivation world’s beauty list, she’d never been so disrespected.
Worse, by a mortal.
Seeing her attack, Ye Qiu grabbed her wrist, pulling her toward him.
Baihua Fairy lost her balance, stumbling into Ye Qiu.
He sidestepped, raising his knee, and she fell across it.
“Smack!”
Ye Qiu slapped the same spot again, barking, “Will you cause trouble again?”
“You can’t control me…” Baihua Fairy snapped.
Smack!
Another slap, Ye Qiu shouted, “Did you hear what I said?”
“Let me go!” Baihua Fairy struggled, saying, “How I act isn’t your business.”
“If I don’t control you, who will?” Ye Qiu fumed. This woman, not only unrepentant for killing but also ruining his plans, deserved punishment.
“Smack!”
This slap was harder, and Baihua Fairy’s eyes welled with tears from the pain.
“Bastard, let me go, or I’ll make you pay.”
Humiliated in public, her beautiful eyes burned with rage.
Luluo, feeling for her, pleaded, “Young Master Ye, stop hitting the Palace Master, hit me instead!”
Qin Wan urged, “Ye Qiu, maybe let it go…”
Ignoring them, Ye Qiu slapped Baihua Fairy again, saying, “I don’t care who you are, in the mortal world, you listen to me. Cause trouble again, and I won’t let you off.”
“Let me go!” Baihua Fairy roared.
Ye Qiu released her.
Pointing at him, she shouted, “You bastard, don’t think I’m scared just because this is the mortal world. Unless you never enter the cultivation world, just wait and see how I deal with you.”
“Want another beating?” Ye Qiu raised his hand.
Though furious, Baihua Fairy knew she wasn’t his match and hid behind Qin Wan.
“I’m warning you, behave,” Ye Qiu said, “Next time you cause trouble, it won’t just be a beating.”
“I’ll strip you bare and whip you!”
Ye Qiu’s face was fierce.
Baihua Fairy shrank back, silent but glaring angrily.
“Sister Wan, take them out to have fun, come to the Ye family for dinner tonight. Since you’re in the capital, you should visit the old man,” Ye Qiu said gently.
“Okay,” Qin Wan nodded.
Ye Qiu left without looking back.
Still thinking of Tangtang, he drove back to the hotel.
But when he reached the top floor, the door was locked, and no one answered the bell.
He called Tangtang, “Are you still at the hotel?”
“What’s up?” Tangtang asked.
Ye Qiu said, “I’ve sorted things out, and now I’m craving some… sugar.”
Tangtang giggled over the phone, then said, “You’re out of luck today, I’ve left the hotel.”
“I signed a luxury brand deal, and I’m off to shoot an ad abroad. I was supposed to leave in a few days, but they just rushed me, so I’m at the airport now.”
“Don’t worry, when I’m back, I’ll let you have your fill, okay?”
“Fine,” Ye Qiu hung up.
She was gone, what could he say? He cursed Baihua Fairy again in his mind, “You wretched woman, just wait, I’ll deal with you yet.”
