Chapter 709: A Storm Of Jealousy

Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze

Tang Xiu had hatred toward Xue Qingcheng, and Han Qingwu’s identity was a complicated matter inside his heart. However, he did not want her to die on the underground fighting arena, for he was hoping that she would regain her memory about what had happened in the Immortal World and then settle the matters between the two of them thoroughly.

“Alright. I’ll go.”

Tang Xiu replied with an expressionless face and directly walked away. He did not want to spend more time idling with Han Qingwu, for it would make his mind keep recalling the years he spent together with Xue Qingcheng in the Immortal World. Those years of blissful and sweet times were now like a sharp knife shearing his heart.

A few minutes later, Tang Xiu came to the dining building of the Paradise Manor. He picked the spot by the window on the second floor at random, took out a cigarette and lit it up. He wondered why Han Qingwu wanted to become stronger. Even if that incident in Jingmen Island was the one that drove her to do so, it should not be a sufficient enough reason for her to participate in the underground fighting arena in a life and death combat to temper herself.

What is exactly the true reason?

The more he thought about it, the more he became confused and the more his expression turned serious.

“What are you thinking about now?”

A fragrant scent came fluttering as Lulu, donned in a black leather jacket, approached with her loose long hair elegantly flowing. She asked the question after taking a seat on the opposite side of Tang Xiu.

Tang Xiu stretched out his brows, shook his head and said, “I’m just thinking over some small things. That reminds me of something. I’m also waiting for a friend to come here, and his name is Ji Mu. Tell your people to bring him here after he arrives.”

Lulu nodded, then took out her mobile and made a call. She then held her chin while staring at Tang Xiu, and said, “Tang Xiu, you gotta teach me how to cultivate. You can’t just favor one more than the other.”

With brows slightly pressed down, Tang Xiu asked, “I’m fine teaching you a cultivation technique, but why did you say I favor one more than the other?”

“Since I saw that vampire, Shanjenna, I realized that you also know how to cultivate. Not only you, but even Xiaoxue knows about it, thus I called Kang Xia,” said Ouyang Lulu.

“Why did you call her?” Tang Xiu blanked, baffled.

“Ugh, do you think I’m stupid?” Ouyang Lulu groaned. “I’m not sure if the other women have a vague and indescribable relationship with you, but I’m hella sure of Kang Xia. Because she would not have gone all out to manage the Magnificent Tang Corporation if it weren’t for you. I can even tell that you’re not managing all the affairs in the company at all since she’s the one who does it all.”

Tang Xiu already knew that Lulu was smart, but not to this degree. She definitely made a conjecture herself after calling Kang Xia, else with the latter’s ability and intelligence, it was absolutely impossible for her to speak out this statement easily.

Nonetheless, he never understood how a woman’s brain worked either. He, however, could faintly feel the many troubles he had with women, since one did not need to experience something first hand when examples were already there—like those Emperors in the olden times who housed 72 imperial concubines in the three palaces and six manors, which then led to wonderful scenes and plays in the imperial court for one generation after another. Didn’t those figures who had three wives and four concubines eventually have fires break out in their backyards?

Looking at Tang Xiu who fell silent, Ouyang Lulu’s heart suddenly jolted and she quickly said, “Honey, I’m not complaining about it, neither am I going to compete with Kang Xia about my status or whatever. As long as you care about me and remember that I’m your woman, it is already enough for me. Just like cultivation…”

She said that, but her hands under the table were clenched tightly. Lulu realized that Kang Xia’s position in Tang Xiu’s heart was quite firm. Her helping Tang Xiu to manage his business empire was already something she could not compete with. She firmly believed, however, that she could create a hole in the stone by dripping water on it constantly. Tang Xiu might have a frozen heart sealed by ice, but she could use her warm love to melt it and carve herself inside.

“I’ll stay here tonight,” said Tang Xiu after slowly raising his head.

Lulu’s eyes lit up and immediately looked full of joy while repeatedly nodding her head. She understood what Tang Xiu meant, and she could also notice the change in his attitude.

In the past, Tang Xiu always repelled her. Even if they did have sex a couple days ago, it was because she was the one who goaded and lured him to act. And yet, Tang Xiu never touched her again since two days ago. Saying that she did not feel at a loss inside was absolutely a lie, but she was also a woman who had her own restraint. She could not always resort to using aggressive means to lure him, neither she could act like she was desperate.

Sure enough. He does have a soft heart. Forcing him too excessively will only make me lose everything, and the losses will definitely outweigh the gains. For men, one must use a roundabout way to make his heart open a little before you want to capture his heart. Only then a woman can constantly deepen the relationship in the future, and eventually make him accept her until he cannot separate from her again.

At this time, Lulu’s smile was particularly brilliant, making her eyes turn into a crescent moon.

On a road near the Paradise Manor, a Maserati vroomed and rushed toward the venue, while Ji Mu, who was the driver, was filled with a pleasantly surprised mood after learning from Chi Nan that Tang Xiu was willing to see him.

He could not forget the scene he saw in Laoshan that night two days ago, neither could he erase the magical means Tang Xiu displayed from his mind. Certainly, he also saw the ruthless side of Tang Xiu when he ordered to kill those six monsters. Though he did feel somewhat disturbed inside, the enthusiasm to go all out in his life was entrenched deep inside his bones, and the very reason that made him decide to go forward.

He wanted to be stronger. He wanted to possess terrifying power like Tang Xiu. He was willing to take a risk and try even if he could only learn how to fly. Hence, he came to Shanghai after spending an enormous time and energy to prepare an extravagant gift, yet it was only a stalk of a two thousand years old wild ginseng that he bought for nearly one billion yuan from his grandfather’s good friend.
