604 Here I Am! (2/2)

Liu Jingning also came closer and, embarrassed, said, ”Jiang Hongyan, I lived up to my promise. But this little brat didn't listen to my advice and came here finding the way himself. I just can't stop him. It might be hard for you to believe that he found the way by repeatedly tossing his shoes!”

Hearing that, Jiang Hongyan was surprised. By tossing his shoes?

Dong Genji was also confused. However, he didn't take the story seriously. It was bullsh*t that someone could find their way by tossing their shoes.

For him, Xu Que must have gotten the information of Jiang Hongyan's whereabouts and come here by using a teleportation device.

However, none of these issues mattered now. He was quite curious about the relationship between Xu Que and Jiang Hongyan.

When he heard Xu Que said ”my Hongyan,” he hadn't taken it seriously. But Jiang Hongyan's attitude toward Xu Que was really unexpected.

From his perspective, Jiang Hongyan seemed gentle and nice. But she was apathetic in a way that usually pushed people away. Now, however, Jiang Hongyan was being really gentle and nice to Xu Que.

”Building Head Dong, I really appreciate your protection just now.” Jiang Hongyan turned to Dong Genji and spoke with a faint smile on her face.

Although she was in cultivation condition, she was aware of her surroundings.

Before the arrival of Xu Que, the cultivators were trying to attack Jiang Hongyan. However, they abandoned this effort when Dong Genji appeared.

Of course, Jiang Hongyan knew these people couldn't pose a threat to her even Dong Genji wasn't here.

Dong Genji smiled. ”Hongyan, you are always welcome! Based on our close relationship—”

”Genji,” Xu Que interrupted with a grin. ”Eh, Brother Dong, we still have some family affairs to discuss. How about you go and I will chat with you over dinner some other day!”

Xu Que's dismissal was so obvious that Dong Genji couldn't stop his face from darkening. Xu Que had mentioned ”family affairs,” which was obviously provocative as a declaration to everyone that he'd set up a family with Jiang Hongyan.

Jiang Hongyan didn't react to Xu Que's words and just silently glanced at Dong Genji.

Dong Genji understood Jiang Hongyan's attitude immediately, so he forced a smile and folded his hands. ”In that case, I'll see you later!”

After saying that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

He knew humiliation was all he would get if he remained here. However, after Jiang Hongyan crossed her tribulation tomorrow she would become his toy!

And Xu Que would be first on his kill list!

…

”Little brat, you offended a troublesome man, so you have to be careful in the future!” Watching Dong Genji from behind, Jiang Hongyan warned Xu Que quietly with furrowed eyebrows.

Xu Que smiled with an indifferent expression. Dong Genji? He's nothing for me!

Liu Jingning smiled wryly. She didn't have the heart to tell Jiang Hongyan that Xu Que had offended almost all the big families and sects in the East Continent!

”If nothing goes wrong, I will cross my Heavenly Tribulation tomorrow. Little brat, you leave here with Jingning now and wait for me in the South Continent!” Jiang Hongyan smiled at Xu Que, but her gaze was still quite serious to convey that she wasn't kidding.

”I'm already here, and I'm not going to leave you. Well, just put on the equipment that can protect you during the tribulation tomorrow. I'll set up several spells so that we can have fun with those guys!” As he spoke, Xu Que purchased a Spirit Visage and a Banshee's Veil from the System, which were both pieces of equipment to enhance magic resistance.

Jiang Hongyan shook her head and didn't take the equipment. Instead, she looked at Xu Que seriously and tried to urge him to leave. ”You don't understand! Tomorrow's situation will be out of your control—”

Xu Que bent over and placed the equipment in Jiang Hongyan's arms. Before she had time to react, he patted her head and, with an affectionate smile, said, ”Be good and obedient! Put them on first and wait here until I finish setting up the spells!”

Xu Que turned around and left in a handsome, domineering way, Jiang Hongyan and Liu Jingning staring dumbfounded in his wake.

This is definitely the aura of an overbearing president, right?

How could the King of Tough Acting keep failing at teasing girls?

Xu Que was very delighted. He opened the System Mall and started to search for the advanced spells!

He'd developed a well-thought-out plan to kill those guys.

This time I will not only upgrade my cultivation stage, but also act tough by making those guys spit blood!

I will definitely be the King of Tough-Acting and the one who has the last laugh!
