Chapter 240: Castrate You

The meal left Ye Qinglian feeling very displeased, as Li Xiaoyao seemed to purposely bring up the least welcome subjects.

Although Team Leader Zhang had looked after her for a whole year, Ye Qinglian didn’t think it was something worth mentioning.

After finishing the meal, the two of them walked out, and once they were in the car, Li Xiaoyao asked, "Where do you live?"

Ye Qinglian casually mentioned a residential community, and Li Xiaoyao turned on the navigation to find a route, only to discover that Ye Qinglian lived on the outskirts of town.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Why do you live so far away?"

"Poor," she said simply.

Li Xiaoyao was left speechless and drove on dutifully.

After driving for about forty minutes, the car stopped outside an old residential community.

From afar, the community looked utterly like a ghost town.

Despite it being late at night, there were no street lights.

The community did have people, mostly migrant workers; it was a mixed bag, all sorts of people.

"Aren’t you afraid of danger, living here alone as a young woman?"

Ye Qinglian sneered and said, "What if I am scared? With my monthly salary of a few thousand yuan, do you expect me to live in a villa?"

Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and then said, "I have an empty apartment in the city..."

Before he could finish, Ye Qinglian interrupted, "I definitely can’t afford that."

Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes, "I’m offering it to you for free."

Ye Qinglian looked at him skeptically, "Really? Are you that kind-hearted?"

"Why can’t I be kind-hearted?" Li Xiaoyao’s teeth clenched with an audible grind.

Ye Qinglian still didn’t believe it and suspiciously asked, "Li Xiaoyao, do you have ulterior motives for me? Are you planning to lure me to your apartment and then come over in the middle of the night to do something dirty and disgusting?"

Li Xiaoyao had a face full of black lines, "Do you have a persecution complex or something?"

"As a girl alone in a foreign place, I definitely have to protect myself," Ye Qinglian didn’t care what Li Xiaoyao thought of her. As she said, a girl alone could easily encounter danger.

"Hey, did you mean what you said just now?" Ye Qinglian asked.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at her and said irritably, "Aren’t you afraid I will have ill intentions?"

"If you dare to do anything improper, I’ll castrate you." Ye Qinglian was dead serious when she said this, causing Li Xiaoyao’s mouth to twitch uncontrollably.

"I’m not that desperate to lay a finger on you," Li Xiaoyao said, "I’ll have someone clean up the place in the next few days, then I’ll call you."

"You better keep your word, no backing out," Ye Qinglian was in high spirits finally being able to move out of this shabby place.

As for living rent-free without paying, Ye Qinglian didn’t feel a bit embarrassed.

In order to help him solve his problem, after all, she had offended the Liang Family of Muze City, so his providing a place to stay could be considered as compensation to her.

Thinking this, Ye Qinglian felt the last bit of guilt disappear from her heart.

Li Xiaoyao dropped Ye Qinglian off at her home and then drove away.

At night, as usual, he was cultivating in his shop, looking at the tens of millions of Spirit Stones in the System, Li Xiaoyao grinned.

"No need to worry about Spirit Stones anymore."

"The only concern is whether that giant serpent will suddenly wake up. Once it awakens, harvesting Spirit Stones won’t be that easy anymore."

To prevent the Spirit Stone Vein from being overtaken by the giant serpent, Li Xiaoyao bought five more Spirit Stone Harvesting Machines 2.0 and worked furiously to harvest Spirit Stones.

...

In the Presidential Suite of the Wanhao Hotel.

A young and handsome man lay on the bed, with two voluptuous women in his arms.

The man was none other than Liang Wenshuo, who had arrived in Ling City yesterday.

Liang Wenshuo went to find Zhu Xiaoyue early this morning, waited for her to get off work, planning to invite her to dinner and secure their relationship.

However, Zhu Xiaoyue didn’t give him the time of day, let alone go out to eat with him.

Being rejected left Liang Wenshuo feeling quite displeased.

Unwilling to take no for an answer, Liang Wenshuo went straight to the Zhu Family’s home.

Unfortunately, Zhu Haishan wasn’t home; only Zhu Xiaoyue’s mother was there.

Zhu’s mother wasn’t particularly fond of Liang Wenshuo, but since he had come all the way there, she couldn’t very well send him away and reluctantly invited him to stay for dinner.

When Zhu Xiaoyue came home from work and saw Liang Wenshuo there, she said bluntly, "I have a boyfriend, whom Uncle Liang has met. Moreover, I don’t like you, so you might as well give up. There is nothing between us."

After speaking, Zhu Xiaoyue didn’t even stay for dinner and went straight upstairs.

Thinking about tonight’s events made Liang Wenshuo fume with anger.

Li Xiaoyao was the guy who had snatched Zhu Xiaoyue right from under his hands.

"Idiot with a death wish, even daring to steal Liang Wenshuo’s woman," a fierce glint flashed in Liang Wenshuo’s eyes.

He had already had people look into Li Xiaoyao today and found out he was just a security guard at a large company.

However, this was no ordinary security guard; it was said his salary was exceptionally high, at five million a year.

"Five million a year, so what? The Liang Family is akin to the emperor of Muze City; five million isn’t even enough pocket money for my month," he scoffed.

He learned that Li Xiaoyao had opened an antique store in Chaotian Palace and, using the Liang Family’s influence in Ling City, had contacted some police officers and thugs to go to Li Xiaoyao’s shop tomorrow and shut it down, teaching him that there are some people he just can’t afford to offend!

The very next morning, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes.

At eight o’clock, Zhang Meng drove to the shop, bustling about, and put up a couplet on the two large doors of the shop.

Zhang Meng had planned to buy some flower baskets, but Li Xiaoyao stopped her.

What a joke, he had sent out so many invitations, and he was waiting for them to bring flower baskets to him. Read latest stories on empire

At nine-ten, the first person to celebrate the grand opening arrived.

Long Feiyang and his son.

Since witnessing Li Xiaoyao’s capabilities, Long Feiyang no longer harbored any thoughts of resistance.

Upon receiving Li Xiaoyao’s invitation yesterday, he was thrilled.

This was a great opportunity to display loyalty, and he had to seize it well.

Knowing that his son had offended Li Xiaoyao, he brought him along this time, intending to put the past behind them.

Long Feiyang drove a deep blue Rolls-Royce, parking it right in front of the shop and drawing the attention of the nearby shopkeepers.

The shopkeepers were all internally shocked, noting that this man was extraordinary.

Long Feiyang got out of the car with Long Zaitian, who carried a large flower basket and placed it beside the shop.

Li Xiaoyao was already standing at the entrance, alongside Zhang Meng.

"Mr. Li!"

From afar, Long Feiyang called out loudly with a smile on his face, striding forward quickly and handing over an exquisitely wrapped gift box, saying, "Congratulations on the opening of Mr. Li’s shop, this is a little something from me."

Li Xiaoyao nodded without much expression, Zhang Meng reached out to take the gift box, expecting it to be light, but once she held it, it suddenly felt heavy.

Long Feiyang said gleefully, "Mrs. Li, why not open the gift? The shop looks rather empty, not much in it."

Zhang Meng felt inward delight at being addressed as Mrs. Li, with a shy expression on her face, she looked to Li Xiaoyao, and with his nod, she said, "Open it."

Zhang Meng unwrapped the gift box to reveal glittering gold, a golden dragon cast in yellow gold, standing proudly.
