Chapter 375: Problem of the Century! (1/2)
After Yun Jingshuang and Han Qianye left, Bai Xiaofei’s pace slowed to a crawl for the rest of the road. Despite him deliberately stalling for time though, he still couldn’t cook up a decent resolution for the present deadlock. He considered hiding, but he knew the result of that would be worse than anything else.
As Yun Jingshuang had said, the Demon of Illusions was currently very lively! And this ‘liveliness’ definitely didn’t just include the original residents. Bai Xiaofei didn’t even dare to think of everyone that would be there.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. If he counted less than the actual number, preparations would be inadequate…
“Damn it! You’re finally back, Xiaofei! There would have been a fight soon if you didn’t return!” Yun Sheng’s anxious voice rang out while Bai Xiaofei was still in a daze. It wasn’t difficult to judge the situation from his tone. The word ‘fight’ made Bai Xiaofei shudder.
If those fight, it’d be a battle of the century!
“How many are there?” Bai Xiaofei asked weakly as his heart leaped to his throat.
“Eh… this… I didn’t count, but quite a few!” After pondering for a moment, Yun Sheng simply gave up on counting and pulled on Bai Xiaofei’s arm. “You’ll know when you go in. Anyway, you can’t run. Since you’ll have to face this sooner or later, just go and have a look!”
That was the truth, Bai Xiaofei could not escape!
Letting Yun Sheng drag him all the way, Bai Xiaofei arrived at the dining place, which had become an exhibition hall of beauties at the moment. Looking around, there was no one there who wasn’t pleasing to the eye…
Hu Xian’er, Chu Liuyun, the Leng sisters, Lin Li, Xue Ying, Qin Lingyan, Zhen Qi, and even Rui Mengqi who was there to watch the show. Everyone was sitting there quietly, drinking tea, chatting in groups of two or three, or simply had their eyes closed in wait.
“Boss, you are back!” exclaimed Rui Mengqi in delight, as everyone looked over.
The feeling of being the focus of all attention made Bai Xiaofei’s scalp tingle. If being watched by a beautiful woman was a blessing, what about being watched by a group of beautiful women?
Bai Xiaofei couldn’t explain it in words, but it was definitely no blessing.
“Boss, did you take your medicine? Are you sick? Let me check!” Rui Mengqi, as always, failed to read the room. As she talked, she didn’t even give Bai Xiaofei a chance to react and just rushed over anxiously. Then, in front of all eyes, she gently touched Bai Xiaofei’s forehead then her own before a pleased look appeared on her face. “Mhm, our boss really behaved and took his medicine. There’s no problem at all!”
Rui Mengqi gently patted Bai Xiaofei on the head, and this intimate action immediately drew a series of murderous glares. Unfortunately, the girl didn’t feel anything at all while Bai Xiaofei took this attack head-on!
Oh f*ck, nooo! You can be my ancestor, alright?! Just please, stop trying to get me killed!
With an intense urge to cry, Bai Xiaofei hurriedly organized a speech as he gently removed Rui Mengqi’s hand.
“I’m fine. Now I have something to deal with, just quietly wait aside, okay?” Trying to say this as calmly as possible, Bai Xiaofei never feared more that Rui Mengqi would act up again.
For once, Rui Mengqi actually nodded. However, she had already done more than enough damage. When Bai Xiaofei looked around at the rest of the people in the room, if looks could kill, the dagger-like glares were enough to kill him several times over…
“Err… well, long time no see.”
Bai Xiaofei forced out a greeting, but no one responded. The embarrassment with a capital E was suffocating.
“Say, the second round will start tomorrow, I bet you are all well-prepared!”
