Chapter 916: Obedien (2/2)

Qianye patted his shoulders. “I’m not the one who should be careful.”

Qianye left the teahouse on his own and strolled slowly through the city, taking in the views along the way. He eventually arrived at a rather silent alleyway. There was a blood-colored X drawn on the wall at its entrance, a ghastly sight to behold. Looking into the alley, one could see small groups of fierce-looking people sitting about and playing with their daggers.

This small lane was definitely not a good place, but Qianye didn’t seem to mind as he simply strolled. He had just entered when a dagger appeared out of thin air, brushing past Qianye’s throat and nailing itself to the nearby wall.

He halted his steps and said indifferently, “I’d stop playing these boring games if I were you.”

A tall woman walked out from behind the opposite wall. “You almost died in my hands, yet you still dare to speak in such a tone!”

Qianye completely ignored her ticks. “If you think that the one who nearly died just now was me and not you, then just believe what you wish. I have no time to waste on you.”

The lady was almost spewing flames from her eyes. “If it wasn’t for the good price you’re offering, I wouldn’t have missed.”

“Are you prepared for the transaction? Otherwise, I’m leaving.”

The woman pointed into an alleyway. “Follow me, I’m just afraid you’ll lose the guts in a while.”

Qianye followed her deeper in without saying a word. There was no shortage of fierce characters along the way, either showing off their tattooed bodies, flexing their muscles, or glaring at Qianye in a bid to intimidate him. However, how could someone like Qianye—who had experienced numerous wars—even pay them any attention? He couldn’t even be bothered to spare them a second glance.

The woman shot Qianye a sideways glance. “Who would’ve thought? You really do have some guts. I’m called Black Lily, remember my name or I’ll be very unhappy. I rarely tell people my name.”

Black Lily was as tall as Qianye, and her black clothes could hardly hide her curvaceous figures. She moved as silently as a female leopard, but was full of explosive strength that would erupt and cause injuries—the ideal target for men who liked to conquer their partners.

But Qianye had no interest in her fiery figure, neither looking at her intentionally nor looking away. Even if his gaze passed over her hips or chest, he would simply look past them, as though he had just seen a rock or a tree.

Black Lily clenched her teeth secretly. She increased her lithe movements noticeably, causing her chest and hips to undulate with each step. Her black suit hugged her body even tighter at this point—one would be inclined to believe that she wasn’t wearing anything if they only saw her silhouette.

It was just that none of this had any use on Qianye. The latter simply followed her into the depths of the alleyway and finally entered a small courtyard.

Two faint figures appeared at the entrance of the alley after the gates were closed behind Qianye—it was Li Kuanglan and Ji Tianqing. The latter was clad in common mercenary-use light armor, while the former was in a billowy martial-artist attire.

“That slut is so hateful, don’t you think?” Ji Tianqing’s eyes were actually fixed on Li Kuanglan.

“People like her are dime a dozen, what’s the point of paying attention?” Li Kuanglan’s reply was calm.

Ji Tianqing’s eyes shifted about. “What if she sleeps with Qianye? She’ll definitely do such a thing, look at how hard she’s twisting her behind.”

Li Kuanglan’s expression remained wooden. “Just kill her if you don’t like her, why waste words with me?”

Ji Tianqing stretched lazily, saying, “Why should I do that? It’s your man she’s about to bed, it has nothing to do with me.”

Li Kuanglan snorted. “Nothing to do with you? Then why are you here?”

“Why are you here then?” Ji Tianqing retorted.

Li Kuanglan stood calmly with her hands behind her back. “I came to protect Qianye and the goods at Song Seven’s request. So, there’s nothing strange about my presence here.”

Ji Tianqing wasn’t willing to back down. “I’m his aide, so I naturally have to come.”

She couldn’t even finish speaking before she paused to size Li Kuanglan up. Clicking her tongue repeatedly, she said, “Wait, when did you start listening to Song Seven’s words? Don’t tell me you’re so obedient because it’s related to him? Something is fishy here!”
