313 Little Missys Animosity! (2/2)
Wang Baole gasped when he heard that. He realized Li Yi must want something really important from him very badly. Any other reasonable person would not have done what she had done.
Even though I am an immensely charming man, so attractive that she'd fall head over heels for me, I'm not so charming that she'd go to this extent… Wang Baole frowned. A cold glint flashed in his eyes before he immediately sent a message to Lin Tianhao and got the latter to quickly verify Li Yi's appointment on Mars.
Lin Tianhao dared not keep Wang Baole waiting. He hurriedly sought the help of people he knew and soon got back to Wang Baole. When Wang Baole found out that Li Yi was serving as an assistant to the giant tree, alarm bells started ringing, and his wariness of her spiked.
He narrowed his eyes and considered his options. After a long while, he decided to decline meeting Li Yi. Just as Wang Baole was about to turn Li Yi down, Little Missy's voice rang clearly in her head. There was a hint of hostility in her cool voice as she spoke.
”Let's go meet this vampish woman. I want to find out what exactly she is plotting!”
Wang Baole immediately sensed the clear enmity in Little Missy's words. He blinked, then coughed. He was secretly pleased. After thinking a while longer, he replied Li Yi and agreed to meet her for lunch at the Dao Mountain Mist Academy canteen.
Li Yi was presently sitting in the Deputy Governor's office building, and her eyes flashed when she read Wang Baole's reply. She smirked, pleased.
This horrible fatty looks exactly like a pervert. I don't believe he can resist my charms! Li Yi had full confidence in herself. In reality, she had been both pleased and troubled during this period.
She had been troubled by Trilunaris Corporation's Jin Duoming and his relentless attempts at courtship. She barely felt anything for him, not even dislike. However, his behavior was affecting her practice of the Heartless Willow Art.
This displeased her greatly. On the other hand, she was also pleased. Jin Duoming had been a boost to her self-confidence in her own appeal.
Men are all pigs! Li Yi pulled out her mirror and started gazing at her reflection. She sighed and lamented at how beautiful she was. Then, she made herself even more presentable, rose to her feet, and trotted over to the Dao Mountain Mist Academy.
Li Yi soon arrived at the Dao Mountain Mist Academy canteen, her voluptuous figure once again drawing the attention of all students. Her confidence grew as she felt the scorching stares directed at her.
When she sat down, her back made the perfect silhouette of an exquisite hourglass. Many students dining in the canteen were swallowing their saliva and staring at Wang Baole, who was sitting opposite Li Yi, with envy.
Li Yi smiled demurely and with coyish eyes, pulled out a storage bracelet and placed it before Wang Baole.
”Baole, these are the snacks I bought you…”
Wang Baole stared at the snacks, then at Li Yi, his eyes lingering on her shapely curves. Little Missy snorted coldly in his head, and the sudden ringing almost deafened Wang Baole.
”That's quite interesting. It hadn't been so obvious the last time, but it's a lot stronger this time. This little witch is practicing the Heartless Willow Art, and she intends to use you to master it,” Little Missy's voice rang out clearly in Wang Baole's head. Wang Baole froze when he heard what she had said. Little Missy then started to explain what that particular mystic art entailed.
After hearing the requirements for mastering the mystic art, Wang Baole's eyes widened. He stared at Li Yi with incredulity and disbelief.
Li Yi clearly misunderstood his stare. Her pretty face blushed, and she seemed to recall something and hastily lifted her head. She leaned towards Wang Baole and whispered.
”Baole, besides delivering snacks to you, I also have some news for you…
”Zhuo Yixian's been deployed to Mars as well, he'll be here in a few days. He's been appointed to the Colony Disciplinary Order. There's also Kong Dao… do you still remember him? He's the president's godson. He's actually been deployed to the Martian military a while back.
”The two of them are holding actual political power, especially Zhuo Yixian. I know they're not exactly friendly with you. I was afraid you didn't know about them and would be trapped in an unfavorable situation. That's why I've come here to inform you.”
