“Watch what you say! Xu Gong is here!”

Lan Mengcheng looked embarrassed.

“Don’t worry, President Lan! I’ll leave now! I won’t get in your way! I will make sure to tell the others not to come in and disturb the both of you so that you can enjoy your own time…”

Before he left, Xu Gong gave Chen Xiaobei a thumbs up and said, “Chairman, you’re incredible!”

“Xu Gong! Don’t go! It’s not what you think!” blurted Lan Mengcheng, blushed.

The fact was that she and Chen Xiaobei had merely been holding hands, and only shared the occasional peck. They had yet to graduate to that deeper level of intimacy!

“You idiot! Where am I supposed to hide my face if you say things like that?” Lan Mengcheng was normally very calm and collected but when it came to things like that, she was as shy as a mouse.

“I did it on purpose!” shrugged Chen Xiaobei while smiling playfully at her. “So that it will pass from ears to ears and lips to lips until everyone will know that you’ve been taken! Then no one will come and bother you anymore!”

“You’re… right…” Lan Mengcheng quickly changed the topic. “You haven’t told me yet! Why would the Wulin Chief Alliance listen to you?”

“If you really want to know, I’ll just tell you then. As I have told you, Liu Xiuyuan and I were enemies. He was involved in the attack of Bei Xuan faction. A few of the powerful factions were on a mission to destroy my faction. But in the end, I had not only spared Liu Xiuyuan and Liu Chunyi’s lives but I also helped them resolve some issues so that they could reunite as a family! Because of that, Liu Xiuyuan was very thankful to me. Even though it was not publicly announced, Liu Xiuyuan has already submitted to my command, and he’s loyal to a fault!”

Chen Xiaobei explained everything in detail, keeping nothing from Lan Mengcheng. There was no need to keep secrets in this relationship.

Telling her would help her realize that Chen Xiaobei was not weak, which in turn, would help lessen her anxiety.

“If this is all true…” It was going to take a while for Lan Mengcheng to digest the shock. “If this is true then how strong are you now?”

“100,000 combat power!” revealed Chen Xiaobei without even trying to be modest. “Other than the ancient faction, no enemy can beat me! If anyone bullies you next time, you don’t have to swallow it! Just tell them to f*ck off and die!”

“Er…”

Lan Mengcheng looked at Chen Xiaobei, feeling a little estranged.

She knew Chen Xiaobei the longest. They went all the way back to when Chen Xiaobei was just a weak and poor little peasant boy.

She knew how hard Chen Xiaobei had been working to continue improving himself.

But he was only human to her eyes, not a demi-god. No matter how hard he worked or whatever progress he made, it could not have escalated so quickly.

That was exactly why Lan Mengcheng always thought that Chen Xiaobei was not strong enough. Every time Chen Xiaobei had to fight, she would always start panicking like a headless chicken!

Now that Chen Xiaobei had shone light on his actual strength, Lan Mengcheng was blown away!

“Why? You don’t believe it?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“I do… I know that you won’t lie to me…” Lan Mengcheng nodded as if to convince herself; a hint of uncertainty in her voice. She had obviously yet to recover from the shock.

Chen Xiaobei said nothing, He just smiled, believing that it was only a matter of time before she would eventually swallow that truth.

True enough, after a while, Lan Mengcheng was no longer hanging on that question. “You mentioned Xuanxin. Is she the Liu Xuanxin, one of the two Dragon City’s legendary beauties?”

“Er… Yes…”

Chen Xiaobei started to feel a little queasy. When Lan Mengcheng mentioned Liu Xuanxin, Chen Xiaobei had this sudden feeling of guilt like a child caught with hands in the cookie jar.

Unlike Song Qincheng and Linxiang, Lan Mengcheng had never expressed her approval of Chen Xiaobei having other women.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Why are you suddenly so nervous?”

Lan Mengcheng was very observant, immediately noticing Chen Xiaobei’s discomfort.

“No… I’m not.”

“Humph!” Lan Mengcheng raised an eyebrow. “The other Dragon City beauty is Luo Puti, right? I heard that the two of you share quite a special relationship!”

“Er… You know about that?” Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt unnerved.

“You really are quite something!” The expression on Lan Mengcheng’s face was difficult to read. “Back in University, you dated three of the most beautiful girls. Now in Dragon City, you’ve pocketed both Legendary beauties into your harem! You really are quite the expert in women-hood!”

“Only three? I thought I dated all four of the most beautiful woman in school.”

“I didn’t agree to join your harem!”

“I…” Chen Xiaobei found himself speechless.

He had a lot of girl-friends but he had only bedded Song Qincheng and a mysterious Lady Goddess.

How did that even qualify for a harem? Chen Xiaobei felt that it was undue.

Ding Ring Ring

Chen Xiaobei’s phone suddenly rang.

“Yue Changkong?” Cheng Xiaobei read the name on the screen and said, “Mengcheng, I have to take this call! Something terrible must have happened or this idiot wouldn’t be calling me!”

“Go ahead. You’re the chairman, you don’t need my permission!” shrugged Lan Mengcheng.

“Hello?” Chen Xiaobei picked up the call.

“Bro Bei! Your’re back! That’s great! That’s really good! I called Old Jiang earlier and he told me that you’re back… I called you immediately…”

Yue Changkong sounded distraught and even a little incoherent.

“Get to the point! What happened? What is it that’s making the leader of Mount Hua Faction lose his cool?” furrowed Chen Xiaobei’s brows in concern.

Mount Hua may not have been a top-tier ancient faction, but they had a very solid foundation and powerful influence. Yue Changkong only needed to stomp his feet for the cities around Mount Hua to tremble in fear!

Chen Xiaobei could not place his finger on whatever it was that would cause Yu Changkong to get all worked up.

“It’s Ms. Luo! She went away to Western Liang Black Desert on her own!”

“Puti? Western Liang Black desert? Why is that? Tell me everything in detail!” Chen Xiaobei could feel his body tense up.

“Ms. Luo has been investigating her missing parents’ case here in Mount Hua. She came across a lead connecting the Western Liang Black Desert! I tried to stop her, telling her to wait for you and then come up with a plan! She stayed for a few days but today, the girl serving her found a note that said she had already taken off!”

“What kind of place is Western Liang Black Desert? Is it because it’s very dangerous? Is that why you don’t dare go?” asked Chen Xiaobei as his grip around his phone tightened.
