“This only proves that you make a pretty good venting outlet.”
Ye Xiong’s gaze swept over her without restraint, but he still made no move.
“What else do you want?” An Le asked in surprise.
“Those who want to stay by my side must meet two requirements. First is loyalty—I certainly don’t want to keep two bitches that might bite their owner at any time,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.
“How dare you call us bitches.” An Le stepped back several paces, her eyes showing a furious expression.
Anyone with dignity would be furious if called a dog.
“So you want to bite me now, do you? It seems your loyalty is completely inadequate!” Ye Xiong sneered.
“You…”
An Le knew that her plan to use her beauty to seduce this man in order to protect herself had utterly failed.
She walked over to the bed, put on her clothes, and then sat down: “What exactly will it take for you to agree to protect us?”
“I will go to the Lingnan Divine Doctor to get some gu poison. If you truly want to stay by my side, then take the gu poison; it is your chance to prove your loyalty. Rest assured, as long as you do not betray me and remain faithful, I will provide the antidote on time,” Ye Xiong stated.
Angel and An Le looked at each other, all silent, not daring to agree on the spot.
“The second requirement is capability. There are plenty of loyal people in this world. If every Ah San, A Si, cat, and dog wants to stay by my side to be protected, what’s the difference between here and an orphanage? If you stay, I will assign you tasks that you must complete for me. These are the two requirements I need; think it over carefully and come to me once you’ve made up your minds.”
The sisters hesitated and did not immediately agree.
“I have things to take care of now, so please step out for a bit,” Ye Xiong commanded.
“This is our room.”
“I’m requisitioning it for ten minutes; please leave now.”
The sisters found this strange but didn’t dare to go against his will, as they only had two choices: to leave on their own accord or to be thrown out by Ye Xiong.
After the two women left, Ye Xiong closed the door.
“What should we do now, sister?” An Le inquired.
“I knew this guy wouldn’t take us in that easily,” Angel cursed.
“What if we don’t ask for his help? Ghost may have forced us to do bad things, but at least he didn’t feed us poison. Now this guy wants to put a gu in us—wouldn’t our lives be completely in his hands?” An Le said.
“Actually, we can’t blame him. We were his sworn enemies before, and now we’re surrendering. If it were us, would we believe us? Think about it; when you tried to seduce him just now, he clearly could have taken you. If he had taken advantage of you, then kicked you away or killed both of us, we wouldn’t have been able to do anything. But not only did he not take advantage of you, he even gave us a choice, which shows he’s not the kind of man who breaks his word. I feel like we can trust him,” said Angel.
An Le nodded, feeling that her sister made sense.
In her life, she had seduced and killed countless men with her body, and no one had ever been immune to her charms—Ye Xiong was the first.
“Sister, then we shall serve him from now on,” An Le declared.
Angel nodded in agreement.
Inside the room.
Ye Xiong drew the curtains, crawled under the bed, and tried to find the thing Skeleton had left for him.
Unfortunately, the bed was too small; he could only reach in with one hand, unable to search properly.
Ye Xiong thought about lifting the bed, exerted a little force, and, to his astonishment, found that it weighed several hundred pounds.
Applying his Inner Strength to his hands, Ye Xiong let out a low shout and, putting all his strength into it, finally managed to lift the bed and lean it against the wall.
After thoroughly searching beneath the bed, he finally found a tiny crack that, had he not known something was hidden there, Ye Xiong would never have noticed it.
He pried up a plank with a dagger and took out a small pouch from underneath.
After putting the bed back in its place, Ye Xiong sat on the bed and opened the pouch.
Inside, there were only two items.
An esteemed letter written by Du Yuehua herself, and a small booklet made of parchment.
On the booklet were written five golden characters: Nine Palaces Mystic Step.
Upon seeing these five words, Ye Xiong was instantly overjoyed.
This was the Skeleton’s secret technique!
Ruan Jingyang, hailed as the top expert in the intelligence sector, owed his unpredictable (movements|performance) to this enigmatic Nine Palaces Mystic Step.
When fighting against Ye Xiong, despite Ye Xiong’s superior strength, Skeleton, without undergoing a transformation, remained undefeated for a short duration under Ye Xiong’s full-force attacks, all due to this unpredictable and miraculous footwork.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Ye Xiong was so excited that his hands trembled.
If he could master the Nine Palaces Mystic Step, combined with his own Dragon Spiral Inner Power and the unrivaled might of the Peerless Divine Weapon Leng Mo, even if he were to face Long Tianya and Long Zaitian again, without undergoing a transformation, he would still be capable of putting up a fight.
The warrior, although formidable, had too many unstable factors, and no one could guarantee what the future would hold.
Nothing was more important than increasing one’s own innate strength.
After putting away the Nine Palaces Mystic Step and the letter personally penned by Du Yuehua, Ye Xiong went over and opened the door.
The An Family Sisters entered the room, looked around, seemingly guessing what Ye Xiong had been doing inside.
“I’ll be leaving first, tell me when you’ve made up your mind,” Ye Xiong said, ready to leave.
He couldn’t wait to get home to study this extraordinary technique.
“Wait a moment,” An Le’er called out to him.
“Is there something else?”
“We sisters have discussed it and have agreed to your request; we consent to having you implant Gu poison in us,” An Le’er said.
“What’s your phone number?”
Ye Xiong took out his phone, entered An Le’er’s mobile number, and then said, “When the Gu poison is ready, I’ll notify you. Wait for my message.”
With that, he hastily left.
By the time he got home, it was already past nine o’clock.
Upon entering his house, Ye Xiong saw Tang Ning cuddling Xiao Baibai while watching TV, and Yang Xinyi sitting far away.
Neither woman spoke a word, occasionally glaring at each other, appearing as if they had just had a big fight.
Seeing Ye Xiong return, Tang Ning ran over, huffing and said, “Cousin-in-law, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Just now I had an argument with cousin; she told me to get rid of Xiao Baibai and not to allow Xiao Baibai to live in the villa. The dog is yours, the villa is yours, and so is your wife. You make the decision; I’m staying out of it.”
Ye Xiong started to get a headache.
Yang Xinyi sat on the sofa, with Xiao Baibai lying in Tang Ning’s arms; both woman and dog occasionally glanced at each other, their gazes filled with flames.
Seeing Yang Xinyi’s demeanor, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but laugh.
“Xinyi, you’re an adult, why are you being so hard on a dog, and even throwing a tantrum over it!”
“Exactly, Xiao Baibai is just a dog. It hasn’t done anything to offend you; do you need to bear such a deep grudge against it? Besides, cousin-in-law went through a lot of trouble to bring it back from Miaojiang. To say to throw it away like that, isn’t that a bit too inhuman?” Tang Ning chimed in.
