Chapter 401: Third-Party, the Globe Merchant Group! (1/2)
“Sometimes you need to take responsibility for your words.” Imperial Concubine Qing’s voice suddenly turned frosty, the threat it contained was obvious.
“I know exactly what I am talking about. You are at least Master Rank; I just don’t know what your ability is,” Bai Xiaofei repeated.
However, the reaction of the imperial concubine was completely different from that just now. She clapped her hands. Full of smiles, she directly turned around.
Immediately turning away, Bai Xiaofei dodged a bullet.
“Come and help me comb my hair.”
Stunned, when Bai Xiaofei looked over, he found that she was no longer in front of him. He turned around to see that Imperial Concubine Qing, wearing only a loose robe, was already seated at the dressing table. Her wet hair was quickly dried with the help of a special energy appliance.
The topic was once again interrupted like that. Bai Xiaofei reluctantly walked up behind her.
“I don’t know how to comb hair,” he said as he stood behind her like a piece of wood.
“Everything has a first time. Now that I’m letting you use my hair for practice, what are you afraid of? But be gentle, I will get hurt.” Imperial Concubine Qing looked back at him, her expression exuding an unspeakable temptation.
Out of excuses to refuse this time, Bai Xiaofei silently took the comb from her hand and gently held her silky long hair.
“Tell me, what do you think of the current situation?” They finally got back to business, and it was surprisingly Imperial Concubine Qing who spoke first.
“The Bright Road Merchant House is just a pawn. Someone wants to use them to lure out the Thunderstorm Bandits, but I don’t know who. Moreover, I’m curious why the Ancient Yue royal family’s attitude is so ambiguous. Under normal circumstances, you guys can’t just sit idly, right?” Bai Xiaofei put forward his questions after summing up the event. This time, his attitude was much more relaxed. He didn’t keep probing whether Imperial Concubine Qing was a puppet master. She obviously blew up when he mentioned this.
Bai Xiaofei didn’t want to let his hard-earned communication opportunity slip away.
“You’re actually so outstanding. I really underestimated you.” There was a hint of surprise in the imperial concubine’s voice.
“Please elaborate?” Bai Xiaofei frowned a little, he could hear the implications in her words.
“You were able to find such a thin line within so much trivial information without any mistakes, shouldn’t I be surprised?”
Upon her answer, Bai Xiaofei’s eyes lit up. His guess was right! However, this was just the beginning. It was too early to be happy until he got more information out of her.
“Without mistakes or not, no one will know until the end. I won’t believe everything you say. I’m just here to know what I need to know,” Bai Xiaofei said indifferently. In the mirror, Imperial Concubine Qing smiled.
“Very wise, you really can’t believe everything I say. The most deceptive thing in the world is beauty, right? Then again, do you think I’m beautiful?” She stroked her fine clear skin and looked into Bai Xiaofei’s eyes through the mirror.
“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?” Bai Xiaofei’s hand stopped briefly at this and he looked back at her.
“The truth, of course.”
“Beautiful. You are very much worthy of this word. You have the kind of beauty that when men see you, they can’t suppress their impulses. Time leaves no traces on your face, and only increases your charm,” Bai Xiaofei paused a little and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. “Moreover, you know men so well that you know how to fully arouse their appetite.”
Indeed…
