Chapter 422: Chapter 422 Suggestions

Having dealt with Teacher Peng, someone immediately appeared and carried away his corpse.

Li Xiaoyao turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone’s faces one by one.

Every person that met his gaze immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

“My name is Li Xiaoyao, and these women are mine,” he announced. “Whoever has designs on them, let Hong Dali serve as a warning.”

“If you’re not afraid of death, come find me, and I’ll show you various ways to die.”

…

...

The charity donation segment of the day was exceptionally lively, with the average donation per person approaching five million Renminbi, far exceeding the expectations of the women.

Toward the end of the charity banquet, Lin Yuanyuan suddenly made her appearance. She exchanged brief greetings with the women and then found Li Xiaoyao: “Come with me, I need to ask you something.”

Seeing Lin Yuanyuan dressed in a beige dress, Li Xiaoyao was momentarily dazzled and followed her to a service corridor.

“Got a cigarette?” Lin Yuanyuan turned and asked.

Li Xiaoyao took out a cigarette, handed her one, and lit it for her.

Lin Yuanyuan’s smoking posture was very feminine, which contrasted starkly with her usual style, but this conflicting combination was particularly alluring.

Between red lips, a small mouth opened, and a whiff of smoke slowly exhaled.

Li Xiaoyao didn’t ask her what was the matter, although he knew that Lin Yuanyuan might not actually have anything she needed to discuss with him—it was possible she just wanted to talk to him.

“Cai’er has gone to Yun Country,” Lin Yuanyuan climbed up two steps and turned around to sit on the ground.

“Hmm, I know,” he responded.

“Cai’er already told me. It seems her grandfather doesn’t think very highly of you, otherwise he wouldn’t have sent her to Yun Country at the last minute,” Lin Yuanyuan suddenly tilted her head, propping her cheek with one hand, her eyes forming a seductive curve as she asked, “Tell me, have you and Cai’er… you know?”

Li Xiaoyao feigned ignorance, blinking as he asked, “Done what, exactly?”

“Hmph, don’t play dumb with me. Out with it, have you two slept together?” Lin Yuanyuan became visibly excited, leaving Li Xiaoyao speechless.

“That’s private, and not something I can disclose,” Li Xiaoyao replied, taking a drag on his cigarette.

Lin Yuanyuan pouted: “Still talking about privacy? Don’t think I don’t know; Cai’er has told me everything.”

Li Xiaoyao was taken aback: “She even told you about that?”

“Of course, we’re close girlfriends who share everything,” Lin Yuanyuan changed the subject, her eyes suggestively wandering over certain parts of him before she said, “Is being in bed with Cai’er very thrilling? Is her body very supple? Did you last five minutes?”

“Five minutes?” Li Xiaoyao’s eyebrow twitched: “You’re insulting my integrity.”

“Isn’t it said that men are very quick their first time? Many don’t last until they’re inside before they finish,” Lin Yuanyuan didn’t really understand these things, having only read about them on the internet.

Li Xiaoyao looked at her with disdain: “You’re talking about the average person. Do you think I’m average? I’m not afraid to tell you, the first time Cai’er and I did it, it lasted this long.” Li Xiaoyao held up a finger.

Lin Yuanyuan blinked: “Ten minutes?”

“An hour!”

“Holy crap, are you a Teddy bear?”

Li Xiaoyao: “…”

“Is there anything else? If not, I’m going to leave,” Li Xiaoyao didn’t want to stay another moment, fearing he might inadvertently be driven crazy by this madwoman.

“Hey, don’t go, I still have something to ask you.” Lin Yuanyuan called out to him.

Li Xiaoyao turned around and asked, “What is it, tell me.”

Lin Yuanyuan threw her spent cigarette butt on the ground and said, “The Lin Family is now at a developmental bottleneck, and I wanted to ask for your suggestions, if you have any good ones?”

“You want business advice from me?” Li Xiaoyao was truly defeated by this woman, but on the other hand, he felt a small sense of pride in his heart.

This indicated that Lin Yuanyuan was starting to show signs of dependency on Li Xiaoyao in some aspects.

“None?” Lin Yuanyuan said with disappointment, “Then never mind, I’ll think of something else myself.”

“You really do underestimate me, Li Xiaoyao.” He said with a proud smile, “Go back first, wait for my call in a few days.”

Lin Yuanyuan stared at him, asking seriously, “You’re not just trying to string me along, are you?”

“My time is very valuable, fooling you would be a waste.”

“Go to hell…”

…

Li Xiaoyao had an immature idea in his mind, something he had thought of early on but kept postponing due to various reasons.

In Muze City’s Little Peach Garden Mountain, he hadn’t yet utilized the land containing spirit soil, despite the time that had passed.

Although time was tight, he could just manage to do it.

If he were still alone, it wouldn’t be necessary. But now the situation was different; Lin Yuanyuan needed a new direction to lead the Lin Family through a transformation. This transformation was crucial and would directly affect her status and prestige within the Lin Family.

Even though she had Li Xiaoyao’s support and the Lin Family members didn’t dare to mistreat her, it was not ideal for her to always rely on Li Xiaoyao’s prestige to intimidate them.

Moreover, Lin Yuanyuan indeed yearned to lift the Lin Family to new heights with her own ability. Once the transformation was successful, she planned to leave the business entirely to her parents. At that time, she would naturally seek out Li Xiaoyao to teach her cultivation.

Only by resolving worldly affairs could she cultivate without concerns, undistracted by these dragging issues.

That night, Li Xiaoyao had Jiuyin stay with the ladies to protect them, while he himself went to the Zijinshan Mansion.

After his conversation with Cheng Dongliang the previous night, Cheng Dongliang immediately sent him a list of all the cultivators in Ling City along with their contact information.

Li Xiaoyao sent a mass text to these people. As for letters, he didn’t have the time or effort to prepare them.

Of course, the method of text messaging might make people feel disrespected. But so what?

Respect has to be earned. Without ability, one won’t gain respect for a lifetime.

There were a total of 327 cultivators in Ling City, the highest among them being at the Seventh Rank of the Spirit Cultivation Realm.

When Li Xiaoyao arrived at the Zijinshan Mansion, he discovered through his psychic probing that most people had already arrived in the grand hall of the sprawling mansion.

Walking into the mansion, the crisp click of his heels on the tiles drew a flurry of gazes his way.

Among the crowd, there were those who had seen Li Xiaoyao before, and those who had heard of him.

But nobody knew that Yun Feiyang’s death a few days prior had been by Li Xiaoyao’s hand. After Yun Feiyang was killed, Cheng Dongliang immediately had the information locked down, and he strictly warned the cultivators who were at Xuan Ming Lake that day that anyone spreading the word would be criminally pursued by the authorities.

Cheng Dongliang’s actions were, on one hand, to protect Li Xiaoyao, and on the other hand, to avoid unrest among the cultivator community because of this incident.

After all, it was not a good reputation for cultivators to kill one another.
