Chapter 72: Be My Woman
At the moment when she raised her hand, Qi Bei felt his body being immobilized by an invisible force, and in the next second, two distorted space blades appeared in front of him.
Space magic!
Qi Bei’s dantian surged with internal energy, and his eyes flashed with a hint of gold. Suddenly, there was a loud noise around him, and he forcefully broke free from the space imprisonment. His hand reached toward Murong Xingchen like lightning.
Murong Xingchen’s eyes flashed with surprise. She didn’t foresee Qi Bei breaking free from her space imprisonment so easily. Originally, she wanted to counter Qi Bei, so that his advantage would be lost, and even if she couldn’t control him, she could at least strive for an equal cooperative relationship.
However, plans are one thing, and reality is another. She did not expect Qi Bei’s personal strength to be so strong. Her space magic was only one step away from reaching the King-grade, and she was also a Senior Mage, but she still couldn’t hold him down. The poison in the tea seemed to have no effect on him either.
In an instant, Qi Bei’s hand reached Murong Xingchen’s throat. Although he didn’t trigger Dragon Transformation, the golden light emitted by Wild Dragon Battle Qi combined with the internal energy of Divine Dragon Art was enough to break through any obstacle.
The space in front of Murong Xingchen froze, and at the same time, a spiritual piercing attacked Qi Bei’s consciousness.
“Break!” Qi Bei roared, and his hand pierced through the stagnant space. But at that moment, his head was hit by a sudden wave of pain.
Qi Bei’s spiritual power was also incredibly strong. When Yao Ruo wanted to hypnotize him before, she failed in the end.
Two golden lights burst from Qi Bei’s eyes and instantly shattered the spiritual attack.
Murong Xingchen groaned and her beautiful eyes dimmed. A trace of blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, staining her veil with a faint red color. This was the consequence of being backlashed by spiritual magic.
Her injury also made the space wall in front of her fragile. Qi Bei’s hand had broken through the spatial wall and was about to reach her throat.
Murong Xingchen gritted her teeth and twisted the space.
Qi Bei’s hand suddenly changed direction and slid past her face. The veil that had covered her tightly slipped off, revealing an exquisitely beautiful face.
Qi Bei’s eyes flashed with amazement. Such a beautiful woman existed in this world. Her snow-white skin was smooth and flawless. Her straight nose was as sharp as a knife, and her rosy lips were still stained with blood, exuding a kind of mesmerizing beauty.
As the veil slipped off, Murong Xingchen’s usually calm eyes became frantic. When facing Qi Bei’s gaze that was staring straight at her, she forgot to use magic and slapped him as an ordinary woman would.
Qi Bei raised his hand and grabbed her small hand wearing black gloves. Suddenly, he leaned down and kissed her on the lips.
Murong Xingchen’s pupils dilated and her mouth opened in surprise, which Qi Bei took advantage of by sliding his tongue past her lips.
“Mmm…”
For a moment, Murong Xingchen’s starry eyes lost focus and her mind went blank. She never imagined that Qi Bei would kiss her in this situation, considering they were enemies who were just fighting each other.
Qi Bei’s agile tongue easily slipped into her mouth and teased her small tongue. Meanwhile, the tea he had sipped earlier now passed back to her mouth.
Murong Xingchen never expected such a situation. She had never had direct physical contact with a man, let alone a kiss like this.
Suddenly, Qi Bei felt his tongue numb as strange poisonous gas surged through his body. He used his internal energy to wrap around the gas, but it was difficult to suppress, and it quickly invaded his internal organs.
However, just as Qi Bei panicked, a golden aura flowed out of the Dragon Seal on his left hand. This golden aura seemed to be no different from the internal energy of the Divine Dragon Art, but it obviously did not belong to it. All the poisonous gas dissipated when it encountered this golden aura.
After a while, Murong Xingchen regained her senses but found herself unable to push away Qi Bei, feeling weak all over her body. At this moment, Qi Bei’s hand went toward her chest.
A woman’s chest is a restricted area, and Murong Xingchen’s body stiffened. She fiercely bit down on Qi Bei’s tongue with her teeth. Qi Bei, however, was cunning and sensed her intention. As she bit down, he retracted his tongue and moved his lips away.
Qi Bei stepped back two steps and looked at Murong Xingchen with a smile, as if admiring his own work of art.
Her eyes were now filled with watery tears, and she appeared bewildered. Her alluring face was red as she blushed, and her lips were slightly swollen, displaying a touch of feminine charm.
Suddenly, two teardrops fell from Murong Xingchen’s beautiful eyes.
Qi Bei was taken aback and reached out to catch the teardrops.
“Zi…” His finger suddenly felt a sharp pain, and black smoke emanated from it.
Fortunately, the golden aura from the Dragon Seal on Qi Bei’s body emerged once again and dispelled the poison.
“Your…your tears are poisonous?” Qi Bei asked in surprise.
“Are you okay? How can you be okay?” Murong Xingchen murmured, looking at Qi Bei in a daze.
Qi Bei looked at her hands covered in black gloves and seemed to understand something.
“I’m immune to all poisons. What’s wrong with your body?” he asked.
Murong Xingchen did not answer Qi Bei and a layer of gray light covered her beautiful eyes. Then, the gray light disappeared, and the watery and charming look in her eyes was gone. She then covered her face with her veil, as if the previous kiss had never happened.
“You win. What do you want me to do? Complete withdrawal from West Spirit City?” Murong Xingchen said calmly.
“Be my woman,” Qi Bei stared at her and said with a smile.
“Release Yan Ling, Ru Feng, and Piao Xue, and Starfall can withdraw from West Spirit City,” Murong Xingchen said.
“I’m serious.”
“Star Mercenary Corps can be disbanded or brought under your command…”
“Kissing you feels good…”
Murong Xingchen’s beautiful eyes finally showed a hint of anger. She turned her wheelchair away from Qi Bei and didn’t want to see his intoxicated smile anymore.
“Okay, let’s do this. Starfall can continue to stay in West Spirit City, but in the future, Starfall’s share of the profits will only be twenty percent,” Qi Bei suddenly returned to the serious negotiating topic.
Twenty percent!
Murong Xingchen was surprised. Even before this, she was only given thirty percent of West Spirit City’s profits, with Blood Wolves and Shadow Clan receiving twenty-five percent each, and the remaining twenty percent divided among other major and minor forces.
After taking over West Spirit City, Qi Bei would actually allow Starfall to have twenty percent of the profits?
