Chen Tianba, who has traversed the underworld for many years, quickly clenched his fist. With his energy sunk in the Dantian, his voice resonated like a mighty bell: "It seems you are a turtle eating a weight, set in your determination. Today, Chen Tianba will meet you and see what skills make you so arrogant at such a young age."
Just as the words were spoken, a white shadow flickered in his eyes.
The one standing in the bathroom, Xu Xiangbei, rushed over in a flash.
With the force of thunder, as fast as lightning.
Chen Tianba didn't even have time to react before Xu Xiangbei's hands, like iron pliers, had already gripped his shoulders.
With strength that could rival the force of pulling up mountains, Xu Xiangbei effortlessly lifted Chen Tianba.
Bam!
The fifth sandbag finally let out a dull sound, landing on the distant ground, motionless.
Not a worthy opponent!
Xu Xiangbei leaned against the door, shook his head, sighed, and asked softly: "Brother Ba, was it fun?"
Chen Tianba lay like a dead dog on the ground, recalling how Xu Xiangbei's hands gripped his shoulders moments ago. He clearly felt a mighty force, like Mount Tai, pressing down on him.
His entire body felt as if every nerve and vein had snapped.
Defeated!
Ultimately, still ended up defeated inexplicably.
A chill ran down his spine as he looked up at Xu Xiangbei's bright smile at the corner of his mouth.
This young man is simply a demon!
"After all, it's my house. Taking someone from here requires my consent. Do none of you have the basic decency?" Xu Xiangbei rambled on, sounding like a motivational speaker.
Gu Xiangyi stood at the doorway, gazing at Chen Tianba and his five men on the ground. Her face was full of surprise, her small cherry mouth agape, almost capable of fitting an egg inside.
Only she knew how terrifying Chen Tianba, as Chen Ban City's number two warrior, was. How could it be? Knocked out in one move in front of this lazy young man?
Chen Tianba toughly swallowed a mouthful of blood and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"Xu Xiangbei, heading north all the way." Xu Xiangbei still had a sweet smile at the corner of his mouth and lazily replied: "I'll still be here. If you want revenge, feel free to come. But in today's society, economy is supreme. You have to pay a visit fee every time you come. Right?"
Chen Tianba looked at Xu Xiangbei, puzzled, and asked, "What visit fee?"
"Money, do you need money to eat at a restaurant or travel to a scenic spot?" Xu Xiangbei spread his hands, squinting and smiling: "If there's nothing else, pay this visit fee and you can roll out."
Chen Tianba was enraged, lying incapacitated here. This Xu Xiangbei audaciously and shamelessly turned the tables, extorting from him.
Is he really unafraid of the behind-the-scenes Chen Ban City?
As the saying goes, a good man doesn't eat a loss in front of him.
Chen Tianba took the lead in pulling out his wallet, shaking it a bit. Stacks of hundred-yuan bills fell to the ground.
The four brothers beside him also took out their wallets and shook them.
In the room, red bills scattered all over.
Judging from the sight, at least fifty to sixty thousand.
Xu Xiangbei's eyes lit up, this time the loot seemed good.
"This is all our money." Chen Tianba stood up with help from his brothers: "Now can we leave?"
"Please, did I say you can leave?" Xu Xiangbei raised his eyebrows, coldly retorted: "I said, pay the visit fee, then you can roll out. Remember, it's roll! Brother Ba, you really should go to the hospital, check your ears. Maybe you really have something stuck in them!"
Chen Tianba dared not speak, unclear about what intentions this seemingly good and evil young man had.
Exchanging a look, five men rolled out the door like balls.
"Now this is fun!" Xu Xiangbei walked towards the stacks of bills, bent down, and started picking up the hundreds, muttering: "One hundred, two hundred, three hundred…"
Gu Xiangyi widened her eyes, looking at this little money-grubber Xu Xiangbei.
For a moment, like a monk at a loss, she couldn't fathom.
This seemingly good and evil man, making her speechless with laughter and tears.
Once Xu Xiangbei had counted all the money on the ground and held it in his palm, he finally looked up and saw the stunning beauty Gu Xiangyi still standing like a statue at the doorway.
"By the way, miss. Your visit fee is already paid in the bathtub." Xu Xiangbei widened his eyes, looking at the drenched Gu Xiangyi. His gaze still openly admired Gu Xiangyi's impressive figure.
Gu Xiangyi blushed a little, the term visit fee sounding odd.
Moreover, just moments ago in the bathtub, this man's mischievous hands on her slender waist made Gu Xiangyi, now safe, feel a bit shy.
"By the way, wearing a white shirt, it's better not to get wet." Xu Xiangbei couldn't help but remark, seeing the black allure revealed once Gu Xiangyi's white shirt was soaked: "Otherwise, I fear I may lose control. I'm only twenty-three, utterly unable to resist this black-and-white combination…"
No man has ever dared, before Gu Xiangyi.
To blatantly scrutinize her voluptuous figure and shamelessly comment on it.
Yet, now after surviving the ordeal, listening to this man's prattle, Gu Xiangyi found herself blushing. Her pretty face turned red, almost bleeding.
"Thank you for saving me today." Gu Xiangyi composed herself, finally looking up at Xu Xiangbei, speaking boldly.
Xu Xiangbei merely smiled, saying: "No need for thanks, if you really do, I hope you'd repay the debt with flesh, by offering yourself in return!"
Haha.
Gu Xiangyi looked at the amusing Xu Xiangbei, smiled once, and then shifted to the serious matter: "By the way, you truly don't know Chen Ban City?"
"Does he know me?" Xu Xiangbei countered, eyeing Gu Xiangyi.
Clearly, Chen Tianba doesn't recognize Xu Xiangbei. So, Chen Ban City wouldn't either.
Gu Xiangyi didn't understand why Xu Xiangbei asked such a question but still answered: "Probably doesn't know."
"Then why should I know him?" Xu Xiangbei grinned, countering again.
Gu Xiangyi shook her head, finding Xu Xiangbei somewhat baffling. She kept quiet for a bit before speaking: "Anyway, thank you for saving my life today. I'm leaving now, take care!"
After all, everyone has their own path.
Gu Xiangyi still had a big pile of issues to resolve.
Like, how to escape Chen Ban City's entanglement.
Xu Xiangbei watched Gu Xiangyi walking away slowly, with the wet skirt clinging tightly to her hips. Her shapely silhouette lit a spark in his eyes.
This stunning beauty Gu Xiangyi, from her swaying waist, long legs, to graceful figure, all highlighted through the curves and elasticity of her hips.
"Oh, miss, would you like a bath before you go?" Xu Xiangbei finally couldn't resist asking, invitingly.
Gu Xiangyi turned, looking at Xu Xiangbei's cheeky expression.
Surprisingly, she smiled sweetly, showing a set of white teeth, and responded cleanly, "Okay."
