Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Cherish the Last of Life

“Distant cousin?” The women’s eyes held a strange expression as they studied the delicate beauty of Xiaoqing’s face over and over.

They had known Li Xiaoyao for so long but had never heard him talk about his family. So how could it be that suddenly he had a distant cousin? And this cousin was, perhaps a bit too beautiful, right? @@novelbin@@

She was indeed beautiful, and she possessed an extraordinary temperament, ethereal and transcendent, untainted by the mundanity, as though speaking to her with even a slightly heavier tone would feel like a sin.

“Hello, Xiaoqing. I am Tang Tiantian, Xiaoyao’s… girlfriend.”

“Hello, I am Zhu Xiaoyue, Xiaoyao’s…”

Li Xiaoyao proactively said, “They are all my girlfriends.”

Seeing that the three women had no objections, Li Xiaoyao felt somewhat happy inside.

Ye Qinglian expressed her dissatisfaction, “They may be, but I am not, don’t drag me into this.”

After the brief introductions, Xiaoqing simply nodded indifferently, her face showing no emotion. She uttered an “Oh” and said to Li Xiaoyao, “Prepare a room for me.”

Knowing her disposition, Li Xiaoyao wasn’t displeased and led her upstairs.

The women looked at Xiaoqing’s receding figure with a peculiar gaze, and once she had gone upstairs, they said, “Why do I feel that this Miss Xiaoqing is somewhat…”

“Acting all high and mighty, right?” Zhu Xiaoyue pouted, “I don’t believe she’s really Xiaoyao’s cousin; she’s probably someone he picked up somewhere.”

Tang Tiantian shook her head, “It shouldn’t be the case; Xiaoyao isn’t that kind of person. He wouldn’t deceive us.”

“That’s true,” Zhu Xiaoyue said, looking puzzled, “but that girl really doesn’t seem like his cousin. What kind of cousin would treat her cousin like that?”

Upstairs, Xiaoqing sat in the modern room, surveying it and unable to hide the amusement on her face.

“If there’s nothing, don’t come up and disturb me,” Xiaoqing said. “You can go now.”

“If you need anything, just look for me.” With that, Li Xiaoyao turned and left.

…

That night, at Jiang Tian Number One Private Club.

On the rooftop terrace, thousands of meters high, tables for a buffet were neatly arranged, and over a hundred cultivators gathered there.

The initiator of today’s meeting was none other than Yun Feiyang, known as the number one person in Ling City.

Dressed in a simple robe, Yun Feiyang held a glass of red wine and went to the center of the terrace. He tapped his fingers lightly on the glass a few times and said, “I have asked you all to come today because there is an issue we need to discuss.”

All eyes turned to him, and they heard Yun Feiyang continue, “You must have all heard about what happened this afternoon.”

“A powerful demon beast appeared in Ling City. Its roar alone caused the collapse of buildings within hundreds of meters. Its cultivation level is feared to have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, or even higher!”

This revelation left everyone utterly astonished.

A demon beast of the Nascent Soul Realm—what sort of terrifying entity was that?

If such a creature were to rampage unchecked in the city, it could potentially cause nationwide panic.

“Such a powerful demon beast is not something we can handle.”

“The news of a formidable demon beast in Ling City has already spread. It won’t be long before it draws the covetous eyes of those stronger beings.”

His gaze swept across the faces of all those present, finally settling on Cheng Dongliang’s face, “So, I suggest that we deal with this Demon Beast before they do.”

Someone asked, “How do we deal with it?”

“The military!” As soon as these two words were uttered, almost everyone turned towards Cheng Dongliang.

Cheng Dongliang raised his eyebrows and said, “Once the military makes a move, that Demon Beast will have nowhere else to go but death.”

Yun Feiyang cracked a slight smile and said, “Then let it die. A beast like this is beyond our capture alive with our current Cultivation Level. But even a dead beast would bring us plenty of benefits.”

The crowd pondered, seemingly contemplating the feasibility of the plan.

“Elder Cheng, we would need your help with this matter. But rest assured, once the Demon Beast is killed, as the one with the greatest merit, you will have the first right of choice over the beast’s remains.”

With a light smile, Cheng Dongliang said, “It seems that Daoist Yun has overlooked the involvement of the state.”

“A Demon Beast of this realm, such rare encounters only happen once every hundred years. Do you think the state would just ignore it?”

Yun Feiyang said, “Heh, which is why we require the assistance of Daoist Cheng. Modern weapons are so powerful that I think even if the beast is strong, it could be reduced to ash under the onslaught of modern weaponry. Daoist Cheng, wouldn’t you agree?”

It was a massive temptation, and Cheng Dongliang had to admit that he was moved.

“Tomorrow, I will personally lead troops to the beast’s haunt and obliterate it. There will be a fifteen-minute window for you to take away the beast’s corpse,” Cheng Dongliang said seriously, “Remember, you only have fifteen minutes.”

…

Li Xiaoyao found an excuse to leave the house. Nowadays, the streets of Ling City were sparsely populated. Although the government kept issuing statements to reassure the public, it was clear that these measures had little actual effect.

Pulling out his phone, Li Xiaoyao scrolled through his contacts, his finger pausing on Lan Cai’s name, her pretty and gentle visage coming to mind.

For some reason, Lin Yuanyuan’s face also surfaced in his thoughts.

“This crazy woman.” Li Xiaoyao chuckled and directly called Lin Yuanyuan’s mobile phone.

“Beep beep~ beep beep~”

After a few rings, Lin Yuanyuan’s phone was answered.

“Crazy woman, where are you? Come out for a drink.”

“Li Xiaoyao, you’re still alive?” The voice was that of a man, filled with sarcasm and surprise.

Li Xiaoyao, with a clear memory of that voice, narrowed his eyes and said, “Lin Langtian?”

“It seems you still remember me.” Lin Langtian’s voice was vicious as he said, “Li Xiaoyao, after you crippled my Cultivation Level back then, I swore I would kill you. Now it looks like I won’t have the chance, since the Li Family is going to kill you soon. It’s truly a pity that I won’t be the one to end you.”

“Why do you have Yuanyuan’s phone?” That was the crux of the issue.

“Yuanyuan? Hah, you sound quite affectionate.” Lin Langtian said, “Before long, she’ll be my woman. When we go to the bridal room, I’m going to tie her up, bind her to the bed, then slowly tear every piece of clothing off her body. And once I tire of her, I’ll find other men to join in.”

“It seems I shouldn’t have spared your life back then.” Taking a deep breath, Li Xiaoyao showed no excessive anger because anger was futile.

Besides, Li Xiaoyao knew that as long as he was around, Lin Yuanyuan would never suffer any harm. Lin Langtian might seem to have the upper hand now, but in a few days, he’d be kneeling before him, begging for mercy in a pitiful and tragic state.

“Cherish these few days, because they will be your last,” Li Xiaoyao said. “I’ll shatter every bone in your body, destroy your flesh and soul, and show you what it means to wish for death.”
