Chapter Index

    Hit him?

    Gu Shenyuan’s intense headache eased in that instant. He couldn’t believe his ears, staring blankly at Ye Qingyun. Ye Qingyun’s eyes were full of seriousness, without a hint of nostalgia.

    The smoking man laughed loudly, “Hahaha, beautiful, your chosen helper is completely unreliable. Can this pretty boy protect you? Why don’t you come to me? I’ll treat you to tea, take you horseback riding. How does that sound?”

    Ye Qingyun frowned. He looked at Gu Shenyuan’s complexion and belatedly realized, “Are you feeling unwell?”

    This was terribly inconvenient. He was feeling unwell precisely when they ran into trouble, and their opponents had powerful experts. What if Gu Shenyuan couldn’t win?

    Fortunately, these people’s target was him, not Gu Shenyuan. He could block the trouble first, and once Gu Shenyuan recovered, he could come back and rescue him.

    Ye Qingyun made his plan, shielding Gu Shenyuan behind him and facing the two men. At the same time, he used the hand behind his back to push Gu Shenyuan, signaling him to take the opportunity to escape.

    “You?” Ye Qingyun looked at the man with an arrogant expression. “What kind of tea do you offer? If it’s not the most expensive, top-tier tea, I won’t drink it.”

    “Hahaha, don’t worry,” the smoking man’s eyes flashed with interest. “How could anything but good tea be worthy of you? As long as you behave, I’ll let you enjoy the wealth and treatment of royalty every day.”

    Ye Qingyun gave a reserved yet spoiled huff on the surface, while pushing Gu Shenyuan again behind his back.

    Push… couldn’t move him!

    Gu Shenyuan’s strength was still immense. But Gu Shenyuan was so smart, why didn’t he understand his intention to retreat immediately?

    Ye Qingyun felt an arm wrap around his waist. Gu Shenyuan pressed close to him and spoke in a husky voice, “Alright, hit him.”

    A gloomy black mist condensed in mid-air, then swarmed forward, surrounding the two men and brutally beating them.

    The man in black released his ice Ability to resist, but it was instantly dissolved by the black mist. The black mist struck hard at his abdomen, making him grunt in pain.

    Damn it, he was a famous assassin across the entire galaxy, yet he was defeated by an unknown pretty boy in this small place!

    Ye Qingyun felt greatly relieved, and mocked them, borrowing Gu Shenyuan’s power, “Peh, weaklings! You wanted me to drink your tea? Go eat dirt!”

    Ye Qingyun turned around and swaggered away with Gu Shenyuan.

    The feeling of having a strong leg to hug was truly wonderful!

    ————

    The handsome youth watched Ye Qingyun leave, a flicker of jealousy in his eyes.

    Why? Why could that person be protected while he could only be bullied?

    He looked good too. What that person could possess, he could possess as well!

    The youth gritted his teeth, about to chase after them, when he heard the bruised and battered man lying on the ground speak.

    “Wait, I can cooperate with you!” The black mist had dissipated. The smoking man spat out a mouthful of blood and said through clenched teeth.

    The youth took advantage of their injuries and ran far away without looking back. Once he reached a distance he felt was safe, he sneered, “Cooperation? What is there to cooperate on between us? Why should I trust you?”

    Not long ago, this man was his enemy, and now he was talking about cooperation?

    “Because you want one of them, and I want the other,” the man said coldly. “You don’t think chasing after them like this will work, do you? Heh, that person is much better looking than you. Without some special methods, how could you snatch someone from his hands?”

    This sentence struck the core of the youth’s insecurity. He had little real capability. Since childhood, he had relied solely on his face to live smoothly and obtain everything he desired. Now, facing someone even better looking than himself, even if he pretended to be confident and believed he could successfully snatch the person, he was fundamentally nervous inside.

    The youth was tempted, but still questioned, “What methods could you possibly have? You couldn’t even touch a single one of his fingers!”

    The man sneered, “What if his Ability is strong? I have plenty of methods.”

    In the Interstellar Era, technology was advanced, and many things had been researched to prevent those without Abilities or with weaker Abilities from being helpless against powerful Ability users. However, these methods all required huge expenses, which ordinary people could not afford.

    But who was he? The heir of a top wealthy family. He lacked everything but money.

    “I will give you a temporary Ability Agent. This agent can briefly and significantly boost your charm, making your body look doubly seductive. As long as that person shows the slightest waver… Hmph, I don’t need to teach you what comes next, do I?”

    Heh, by then, the beauty would see the pretty boy cheating and tearfully throw himself into his arms. By the time that guy sobered up, he would have already taken the heartbroken beauty and left this place, leaving that guy filled with regret.

    Dare to hit him? Then be prepared for him to steal your love!

    The youth was moved.

    The person being protected clearly looked like someone who had no tricks in bed, only lying there to enjoy. If he could successfully have relations with the powerful Ability user, he would surely make that person addicted to the taste, and then…

    By then, the person held protectively in the arms would be him.

    The youth immediately said, “Deal. I will cooperate with you this one time.”
