Chapter 666: Daredevil

Inside the VIP Private Room No. 2, someone placed a bid of 250.5 kilograms of celestial jade for the little black mangy dog.

“Damn it,” cursed Huang Dinggou. He was so angry that his teeth ached. “Just 0.5 kilograms more than ours, isn’t that clearly picking a fight?”

Li Xiaofei looked through the one-way floor-to-ceiling glass at the VIP Private Room No. 2 directly opposite them.

“Who’s in there?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” Huang Dinggou shook his head and said. “But anyone who could enter VIP Private Room No. 2 must be a noble in the city. Their status and position were certainly not low.”

After pausing for a moment, Huang Dinggou shook his head sullenly. “Forget it. I won’t bid anymore.”

Li Xiaofei was greatly shocked.

This hidden dragon actually backed down.

“It’s just a dog. There was no need to clash with those nobles over it,” Huang Dinggou said with conviction. “Besides, I was also thinking about you, Brother Chen. You just took office. There’s no need to make enemies for no reason.”

Li Xiaofei had to admit that what he said made a lot of sense. But in that case, how could they get the little black dog back?

“However...” said Huang Dinggou, suddenly letting out a sly laugh. His smile was filled with lewd cunning. “We can’t just admit defeat like this. We have to hold out for two more rounds to put on a show. After all, our Hall Master Li just took office. He needs to save face and can’t back down too quickly.”

Li Xiaofei didn’t know what to say.

This guy actually had some wits after all.

"225 kilograms."

"225.5 kilograms."

"300 kilograms."

"300.5 kilograms."

"325 kilograms."

"325.5 kilograms."

"Fuck it, 500 kilograms."

In the end, Huang Dinggou lost his cool and raised the price to five hundred kilograms. The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

Although no one knew exactly what kind of big shots were inside Private Room No. 2 and Private Room No. 13, everyone could tell that the two sides had started butting heads. This was no longer about a little black mangy dog. It had turned into a contest of pride.

Li Xiaofei stared at Huang Dinggou in shock.

"Didn't you say we were just putting on a show?" he asked.

Huang Dinggou’s face was flushed red, and his veins bulged on his neck. He replied, "Fuck, I’ll fucking—

Li Xiaofei secretly laughed in his heart.

Oh dear. He has really lost it.

With this, I’ll surely get my dog back.

At that moment, the glass window of the VIP Private Room No. 2 suddenly slid open. A pale, tall, and slender young man jumped onto the balcony outside. He pointed directly at Private Room No. 13 and started cursing loudly, “Where did this bastard come from, daring to act tough in front of me? Believe it or not, I’ll get someone to beat you to death right now!”

The entire venue erupted in an uproar once again. Those with sharp eyes immediately recognized him.

Someone said, “That’s Nan Renyi, the only son of Nan Wushuang, the president of the Azure Swallow Merchant Guild. They are one of the Four Great Merchant Guilds.”

The Azure Swallow Merchant Guild! It was the leading force among the Four Great Merchant Guilds in Chongque City and a true behemoth in the business world.

President Nan Wushuang was a legendary figure. He had come to Chongque City a hundred and forty years ago, starting from nothing, and built the number one merchant guild, Azure Swallow, from the ground up.

If there was one major stain on his record, it was that he had a worthless son. His wife had died during childbirth, giving birth to a frail and sickly baby boy. Nan Wushuang had cherished him to the bone, spoiling him endlessly.

Now, this young master named Nan Renyi had become one of the most notorious scoundrels in Chongque City. He bullied men, harassed women, and committed all kinds of misdeeds. He had even been locked up by the Internal Affairs Bureau several times. Yet, each time, he had walked out unscathed, protected by his father’s power and wealth.

The moment Huang Dinggou saw Nan Renyi, he panicked a little. To be honest, he wasn’t afraid of provoking the true big shots. Many of those big shots cared about their reputations and would weigh the pros and cons before acting.

But dealing with a scoundrel like Nan Renyi was different. People like him often acted without thinking. They were petty and vengeful. Once provoked, there was no telling what insane and ruthless things they would do.

When he saw that there was no response from Private Room No. 13, Nan Renyi became even more arrogant.

He shouted, “Fuck your mother. Weren’t you acting tough just now? What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”

Standing on the balcony, he turned his back on Private Room No. 13, stuck out his buttocks, and slapped them provocatively. He shouted, “So gutless. What are you afraid of, huh? Hahaha. Go back and drink your mother’s milk.”

After saying that, he raised the bid to 500.5 kilograms of celestial jade.

Countless eyes in the venue shifted back to Private Room No. 13. Huang Dinggou had many flaws, but by far his biggest flaw was that he couldn’t handle being provoked. For the sake of saving face, he would put on any kind of show.

So, he didn’t hesitate for a moment before opening the glass window of Private Room No. 13 and jumping onto the balcony.

“Our Hall Master said that you’re just a good-for-nothing second-generation wastrel who only knows how to eat, drink, and play. Yet here you are, showing off like a damn fool. If we let you win this dog today, he’ll write his surname Li backward!” shouted Huang Dinggou.

Huang Dinggou immediately placed another bid and raised it to 1000 kilograms of celestial jade.

Li Xiaofei was shocked and confused.

When did I ever say that?

Opposite them, Nan Renyi was clearly driven mad with anger. He started trading insults with Huang Dinggou across the auction hall. Both of them lost their cool and began frantically raising their bids.

In the blink of an eye, the price for the little black mangy dog had soared to two thousand five hundred kilograms of celestial jade. The audience in the tiered seating was stunned. This was far more entertaining than a beast fight.

Suddenly, a lazy yet haughty female voice came from within VIP Private Room No. 2. She said, “You can’t even win a little mangy dog, and you say you’re willing to give me everything? Trash. Get lost.”

As her voice faded, a tall woman in a black palace-style long dress stepped onto the balcony. Her wine-red hair was styled into loose waves. Her makeup was wild, with smoky eyes and bright red lips. Her already delicate features were made even more stunning by her fierce makeup, giving her the appearance of a blooming rose. Her look was bold and enchanting, yet never vulgar.

But her figure was even more remarkable. She had the kind of body that was tall but not lanky, voluptuous but not overweight. Her entire being exuded a luscious, seductive charm.

A wave of commotion erupted throughout the hall. Even Huang Dinggou was a little surprised.

“Brother Chen, it’s her, it’s her!” exclaimed Huang Dinggou. He frantically winked and made exaggerated facial gestures at Li Xiaofei. “What do we do now?”

Li Xiaofei was momentarily stunned before he suddenly realized the identity of that fiery beauty. It was Si Kongxue, the daughter of the president of the Fengyu Merchant Guild.

She was the very same woman the real Li Qingchen had once pursued madly. He had to admit, Si Kongxue indeed had the kind of allure that made men obsess over her. Just from those eyes, that figure, that chest, those hips, that waist, and those long legs...

Tsk, tsk. One glance, and she was clearly the type who could bear children and stay luscious. Her fertility potential was maxed out.

Moreover, it was said that she had been brought up with strict family discipline even though she was widely known for her beauty and had a reputation for behaving rebelliously. To this day, there had never been any scandal about her. She was still a virgin.

So, her virtue as a woman was also impeccable. It was no wonder the real Li Qingchen had chased after her so desperately.

When he saw Huang Dinggou’s eyes, Li Xiaofei knew that the moment to step up had arrived. If he was still indifferent after seeing his ‘dream lover’, his whole persona would crumble.

The fact that Li Qingchen had suddenly displayed overwhelming martial prowess had already made many people suspicious. If he showed that he had also given up his desire for women, people would definitely start to seriously doubt him.

So, Li Xiaofei made his move. He leaped into the air and soared across like a plump bird. He landed directly on the balcony of VIP Private Room No. 2.

Pa!

A resounding slap landed squarely on Nan Renyi’s face. The man had no time to react. His body spun two thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight degrees, with an additional seven hundred and twenty-degree flip, before plummeting off the balcony. He crashed heavily into the crowd in the ordinary seating area below.

“Miss Sikong, we meet again,” said Li Xiaofei with a serious expression.

“It’s you?” exclaimed Si Kongxue. She looked surprised at first, but then a trace of disdain and disgust flashed across her beautiful eyes. “You fat pig, you still haven’t given up?”

Li Xiaofei said, “Why should I give up? There are so many people who want to sleep with you, but I am the only man willing to have children with you. Doesn’t that show my sincerity?”

“Have children with me? You think you deserve that?” Si Kongxue showed no intention of sparing Li Xiaofei’s dignity before so many onlookers. She raised her chin proudly and said, “If your family doesn’t own a mirror, then go piss somewhere and take a good look at yourself. Stop daydreaming.”

“Daydreaming?” replied Li Xiaofei, maintaining his serious expression. “I wouldn’t do that, rest assured. I will take responsibility for you.”

Si Kongxue didn’t want to continue the conversation. At that moment, Nan Renyi’s bodyguards finally arrived. They were four Planet level experts, handpicked by Nan Wushuang himself to protect his son. Each of them was a top-tier warrior even by underworld standards.

Two of them immediately went to help their young master up. The other two charged straight toward Li Xiaofei.

Pa! Pa!

Li Xiaofei casually slapped twice and the two bodyguards were sent flying.

“I’m serious about you.” Li Xiaofei continued, “I advise you to behave yourself and think it over carefully. Being able to bear a child for my Li family is the greatest blessing of your life. It is an honorable and noble duty. Don’t fail to appreciate what’s good for you.”

The crowd below erupted into an uproar. Although they had long heard that this Li Qingchen was a weirdo who scoured the land seeking women with high standards to bear children for his bloodline, those were only rumors.

Witnessing it with their own eyes and hearing it with their own ears now was enough to shatter their worldview. He was so fat, so ugly, and so ordinary. So why was he so confident?

Even Si Kongxue herself was momentarily dumbfounded. When she examined this chubby white man, who was so serious and so matter-of-fact, his expression even seemed somewhat sacred and sincere under the light...

For just a brief moment, Si Kongxue actually spent a few seconds subconsciously reflecting on whether she had truly failed to appreciate a good opportunity.

“You fucking believe I won’t...” Nan Renyi charged up again, cursing furiously.

Pa!

Li Xiaofei impatiently slapped Nan Renyi away once again.

“Speak. What are your conditions?” Li Xiaofei gazed at the thorny rose before him and said, “What must I do to make a child with you?”

Si Kongxue suddenly laughed and said, “If I name any condition, can you fulfill it?”

A strange glint flickered in her beautiful, seductive eyes. It was a sign of danger.

Li Xiaofei said, “Of course. In this little Chongque City, there is nothing I, Li Qingchen, dare not do.”

“Then kill him for me,” said Si Kongxue as she raised her slender finger to point at someone.
