King of Assassins
Chapter 120 - 115: Meeting Too Late
CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 115: MEETING TOO LATE
Gao Xuan’s handsomeness has surpassed logic, almost inhuman.
Even though Hong Anfu is a man, he could see how valuable Gao Xuan’s looks are.
He bought Gao Xuan and first extracted his genes to clone hundreds of clones.
As long as the clones have half of Gao Xuan’s looks, they could sell for a good price.
The original Gao Xuan is even more valuable. The underground fight arena has all kinds of noblewomen, and these people are extremely empty inside, with many perverse needs.
Even if they slice up Gao Xuan to eat him, he could probably still fetch a lot of money.
After all, Hong Anfu is a businessman. At first, he was very envious of Gao Xuan. When he returned to his office, he quickly calmed down; such a special Gao Xuan is surely worth a lot.
So, Hong Anfu directly offered Bai Yutang a very sincere price.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that the elites spend tens of millions or billions so easily. In reality, their spending includes a lot of padding. The situation inside is quite complex.
For example, in auctions, the price has at least a 50% margin. The bidding parties usually have private discussions beforehand; the prices are for outsiders to see.
Some do it to avoid taxes, or to flaunt wealth, or to scam newcomers, or to manipulate the market; various forms of underhanded operations are the norm.
Hong Anfu pulled out a solid five billion right away, which is a huge sum.
Bai Yutang’s jade-like face turned somber: "Boss Hong, didn’t you hear what I said?"
Hong Anfu was startled by Bai Yutang’s somber gaze and waved his hand, saying, "If you won’t sell, you won’t sell, just don’t get agitated."
Hong Anfu wasn’t afraid of Bai Yutang; if he dared to run an underground fight arena, he obviously had his skills.
But Bai Yutang was quite wild, clearly backed by a massive organization, and he didn’t want to fall out with Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang also lost interest in the conversation; she stood up and headed out.
As she was leaving, Bai Yutang turned back to say to Hong Anfu, "Boss Hong, Gao Xuan is my person; you mustn’t touch him. Do you understand?"
"The way you say it, with our relationship, how could I do anything rash?"
Hong Anfu chuckled twice and made a very loyal promise.
Facing Bai Yutang’s departing figure, he added, "Yutang, when you’re tired of playing, remember to sell him to me. Don’t let others get a bargain. Prices are always negotiable."
Bai Yutang returned to the suite with a cold face and took Gao Xuan’s hand, "Let’s go."
Gao Xuan curiously asked, "Sister Tang, what’s wrong? You don’t look too good."
"Angry with a toad."
Bai Yutang was indeed a bit upset; Hong Anfu having those wicked thoughts about Gao Xuan was unbearable for her.
She never cared about strangers unrelated to her. But she couldn’t accept someone wanting to harm Gao Xuan.
Thinking of Gao Xuan possibly being given to some ugly woman as a plaything, or being chopped up, filled her with extreme anger.
Bai Yutang could accept evil, accept darkness. But she couldn’t accept others treating Gao Xuan that way.
At some point, she had already truly seen Gao Xuan as her closest friend.
Ever since she joined the Blood God Association, she hadn’t had any friends.
People like Jiang Haoran were just targets for her. There was absolutely no possibility of them becoming friends.
Although she hadn’t known Gao Xuan for long, Bai Yutang felt a special connection with him.
Not only because Gao Xuan was incredibly handsome, but also because being with him was relaxing, comfortable, and easygoing.
Although Gao Xuan was young, he was very wise. His humor was always just right. Even when there were occasionally some lowbrow jokes, they only made him more endearing.
Hong Anfu’s crudeness and savagery made Bai Yutang suddenly realize the weight of Gao Xuan in her heart.
Bai Yutang took Gao Xuan out of the underground fight arena and drove straight home.
By the time they got home, it was already past eleven at night.
Bai Yutang left Gao Xuan in the living room and went to shower and change clothes.
When Bai Yutang came out wearing a robe, she was holding a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.
The silky robe was soft and close-fitting, the deep purple color further highlighting Bai Yutang’s snow-white skin. Her hair was still slightly damp, casually tied in a bun.
Crucially, she seemed to be wearing nothing underneath, the robe casually tied with a belt, the soft draping effect completely outlining her figure.
Now Bai Yutang had lost the anger from earlier, her brows and eyes were filled with the lazy nonchalance of someone fresh from a bath, every gesture full of enchanting allure.
Gao Xuan joked, "Sister Tang, dressed so coolly and holding red wine, are you trying to seduce me?"
Bai Yutang nonchalantly said, "I figured it out. You can’t see anyway."
"But I can actually see..." Gao Xuan protested.
Bai Yutang said, "If your mental sensing can see, then clothes don’t matter."
"Wow, Sister Tang, you’re really smart; no one else ever thought about that."
Gao Xuan laughed heartily, "Sister Tang, don’t tell anyone about it. Otherwise, I’ll be beaten to death."
"Can you really see?" Bai Yutang tightened her robe, feeling a bit nervous.
"I can see, but I won’t look. I always maintain normal sensing. I’m a very moral person."
Gao Xuan wasn’t lying; his mental sensing had no blind spots within its range. He could observe the world from various angles.
If he wanted to, most clothes couldn’t prevent his mental sensing.
Of course, Gao Xuan generally wouldn’t do that. It didn’t align with his aesthetics.
The human body is hard to perfect, always having various flaws. Clothes, accessories, cosmetics, appropriate attire—all of these make people look comfortable.
If everyone appeared naked at a glance, it wouldn’t be a pleasing sight. There wouldn’t be much excitement in it either.
"I’ll trust you this once then."
Bai Yutang relaxed, opened the wine bottle, and poured two glasses of red wine.
The rich aroma of the wine immediately dispersed, filling Gao Xuan’s nose.
"This wine smells so good."
Bai Yutang gave Gao Xuan a sidelong glance: "This is thirty-year-old Dragon Blood Red Wine. Just one bottle is worth millions. I can’t bring myself to drink it at home."
"Why are you willing to open it today, planning to get me drunk and do something improper?"
Gao Xuan took the wine, swirling it lightly, and the aroma was released in layers.
The wine fragrance even carried a texture, like the smoke from burning incense, making the presence of the aroma distinctly felt.
Gao Xuan hadn’t even drunk yet, but the Source Power within his body was already stirred to activity by the fragrance, giving him a slightly tipsy feeling.
In his past life, Gao Xuan hadn’t drunk such fine wine often.
Primarily because when his power was weak, he lived very poorly. By the time he grew strong, such Dragon Blood Red Wine had no effect on him.
Drinking this kind of red wine at the right time allows one to enjoy all of its pleasures.
"Your mind is always on these things. Be healthier. Come, cheers."
Bai Yutang lightly kicked Gao Xuan with her foot. Her jade-like foot was painted with a bright red, the small red embellishments making her foot look like a delicate piece of art.
Gao Xuan couldn’t help but reach out and touch it, casually responding, "Cheers."
Bai Yutang quickly withdrew her foot, speaking with a mixture of amusement and annoyance, "There you go again."
"It’s too beautiful, I can’t help myself, can’t help myself."
Gao Xuan raised his glass and clinked it with Bai Yutang’s, "My mistake, I’ll penalize myself with a drink."
With a gulp, he downed the Dragon Blood Red Wine, and his cheeks turned slightly red.
No matter how strong his Spiritual Power was, his constitution was only 22 points. This level of Dragon Blood Red Wine stimulated his body, making his blood boil and Source Power nodes pulsate.
The nourishing Dragon Blood Red Wine was a powerful stimulant for the body.
Bai Yutang’s physical constitution was a level weaker than Gao Xuan’s. After a glass, her chest turned a little red too.
Her skin, exceptionally fair, now had a rosy tint, adding a tempting allure. Especially with a sheen of fine sweat on her body, she looked even more radiant.
Bai Yutang’s bright eyes carried a touch of mistiness, and her gaze held an indescribable ambiguity.
"Pretty strong."
Gao Xuan took the wine bottle from Bai Yutang’s hand and drank several more big swigs from it.
Bai Yutang gently kicked Gao Xuan, "Are you going to leave any for others to drink?"
"Does Sister Tang want to drink? I’ll feed you."
Gao Xuan mischievously laughed, took a big sip of wine, and leaned toward Bai Yutang’s mouth, motioning for her to open up.
"Ah Xuan, don’t do this,"
Bai Yutang softly refused, gently pushing against Gao Xuan’s chest with her delicate hand, yet her push lacked strength.
Such a refusal was more like an invitation.
Gao Xuan wasn’t so innocent; Bai Yutang’s "no" in words was contradicted by her tone, expression, and posture, all conveying the opposite. He naturally understood and pounced forward.
Bai Yutang, realizing she couldn’t hold back Gao Xuan, resigned to her fate and began to cooperate submissively...
After the rain of passion, there was another rain of passion. After one round of intimacy, another followed.
The early morning sunlight poured in through the window, softened by the curtains, illuminating the bedroom gently.
Bai Yutang woke from deep sleep, and her first reaction was to open her eyes to see the person next to her. Gao Xuan was still there.
From her angle, Gao Xuan’s profile was so charming. He no longer had his usual frivolous and unruly demeanor; his calmness made him appear more mature and full of allure.
Bai Yutang couldn’t help but reach out to gently caress Gao Xuan’s cheek, and she sighed softly, murmuring, "Why weren’t you born twenty years earlier, why didn’t we meet when I was at my best..."
