Chapter 6: Someone in the Villa
Chapter Six: Someone in the Villa
Dragon King Xu?
Jin Lanzhi froze at the name. Being in Tianhai, she naturally knew who this well-deserving underground emperor was!
It's just that the two of them rarely crossed paths in ordinary times — so what was he doing here?
"Please, come in quickly!"
Huangfu Hai came rushing down from upstairs. Wealthy as he was — the richest man in Tianhai — he had no wish to offend this underground emperor.
"Good timing — that Ye fellow, your friend might even know him, heh!"
A sneer curled at the corner of Jin Lanzhi's lips. Ye Fusheng, that worthless ex-con who'd barely walked out of prison, still needed a cellmate to come pick him up — of everyone in Tianhai City who'd ever done time, how many weren't one of Xu Dragon King's lackeys?
When his friends come and see Xu the Dragon King, they'll probably be scared to death!
"Heh!" Ye Fusheng let out a cold sneer.
Just as that thought crossed my mind.
Uncle Fu showed Xu Sandao in.
Huangfu Hai immediately clasped both fists together and stepped forward to greet him, saying with a smile: "Dragon King Xu, your esteemed presence graces this humble dwelling with glory — it is truly a great honor for me, Huangfu."
Jin Lanzhi followed at his side and said respectfully, "Welcome, Dragon King Xu."
Xu Sandao smiled as well, raising both hands to return the gesture with a cupped-fist salute.
"Don't bother with them. I find them repulsive."
Ye Fusheng suddenly spoke up, pressing once more: "It reeks here too—drive, quick. I don't want to stay a moment longer!"
The moment these words were spoken.
Huangfu Hai and Jin Lanzhi were stunned. Since when was it his place to speak up at a moment like this? And what on earth was he even talking about? They were just about to erupt.
Xu Sandao gave a startled shudder and said respectfully: "Yes, this humble one knows his mistake. Mr. Ye, please follow me this way — I'll bring the car around at once."
Having said that, she opened an umbrella and walked over to Ye Fusheng's side, shielding him with it as they headed out the door.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Huangfu Hai and Jin Lanzhi stood there dumbstruck, rooted to the spot like wooden chickens, rolling thunder crashing through their minds, eyes wide and mouths agape, their very scalps gone numb!
Dragon King Xu had come to fetch Ye Fusheng?
This underground emperor called himself a lowly servant in front of Ye Fusheng?
"H-...Honey, what does Ye Fusheng do?" Jin Lanzhi asked in terror.
"I-I-I don't know either!" Huangfu Hai's words came out in a stutter — what had just happened was simply mind-shattering!
The two exchanged a glance.
At the same time, he rushed upward and ran toward Huangfu Qing's room.
……
"Mr. Ye, Huangfu Hai has offended you — do you need me to...?" Xu Sandao asked tentatively. This was a distinguished guest personally entrusted to him by the Hall Master; he had to be handled with the utmost care.
"Whatever." Ye Fusheng couldn't be bothered with them, and soon left Tianhai — they would never meet again in this lifetime.
"So, where are we going now?" Xu Sandao asked again.
Ye Fusheng was caught off guard by the question. According to the original plan, she would find a hotel to spend the night, then head to Dijing tomorrow to call off the engagement with Gu Ziqi—yet Gu Ziqi was actually coming to Tianhai.
There's no harm in waiting a few days.
Staying in a hotel for a few days straight wouldn't do—too uncomfortable.
"Drive first, I'll tell you in a bit." Ye Fusheng replied offhandedly, taking out his phone to call the warden and asking him to find out if anyone had a place in Tianhai where they could stay for a few days.
In less than a minute, the warden replied: there was an inmate known as the "Emperor of Working Men" — a financial criminal — who owned a villa in Tianhai called Yunding Tiangong, reportedly the most impressive villa in all of Tianhai.
"Economic criminal…"
Ye Fusheng couldn't help shaking his head. Among the economic offenders in Dragon-Suppressing Prison, those at the very bottom had Little Earthworm — founder of the Divine Dragon Hall — scrubbing their toilets. As for this so-called Emperor of Workers, he probably wasn't even fit to scrub Little Earthworm's toilet.
Casually tossed out a remark that he should eat his fill for a month.
Very soon.
Arriving at the Yunding Villa District on Yunding Mountain, there were thirty-six villas in total — the numbers grew larger toward the foot of the mountain and smaller as one ascended, and above Villa No. 1, at the very summit of South Mountain, stood Yunding Heavenly Palace!
One could look out over the entire city of Tianhai.
Ye Fusheng sent Xu Sandao on his way, then keyed in the passcode and stepped inside the villa. The interior was furnished with extravagant opulence — antiques greeted the eye at every turn, and the hand-crafted chandeliers alone spoke of staggering value.
"Hm?"
Ye Fusheng's ears twitched. He instinctively glanced upward — a faint sound of running water drifted down from the floor above. Barely audible as it was, he caught it nonetheless. He drew in a quiet breath and sniffed.
Instantly rendered speechless.
A faint, delicate scent of a girl lingered in the air.
If my guess is right, this was arranged by that wage-earning emperor. Though letting someone lodge here for a few days — he really does know how to... curry favor.
He sat down on the sofa, intending to wait for her to finish bathing and then send her away. Though the natural fragrance she exuded proved she was still… nevertheless, Master had said that without his permission, one must never carelessly lose one's primordial yang.
*"Hurry up and get here — don't keep me waiting too long. I've still got six betrothals to call off, and I need to get back to prison early to wait for Master."* Ye Fusheng thought silently to himself.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, he sensed a figure on the stairs.
Ye Fusheng looked over on instinct, and the sight that greeted him on the stairs hit him like a blow to the head.
At that very moment, a woman stood on the staircase — her skin fair and tender, her features sculpted and striking, her beauty rivaling the finest blossoms. Her hair hung damp and wet, and her face still carried the rosy flush of a beauty fresh from her bath.
Most importantly, she wasn't wearing a single stitch of clothing — one could even make out the water droplets beading on her skin!
The woman was also staring at him.
Their eyes met!
Whoosh!
Ye Fusheng quickly turned his head away. See no evil.
He immediately said, "Get dressed first, then leave at once."
The woman's face turned crimson—so deeply flushed it looked ready to bleed. She fixed her gaze on Ye Fusheng, waves of murderous intent rising in her eyes. After a few seconds, she silently turned and walked back upstairs.
Ye Fusheng heard the approaching footsteps and only then let out a long breath, unable to keep from grumbling inwardly: even if you were arranged to come here, that was far too bold — what if someone else had walked in?
After waiting a moment, footsteps sounded on the stairs once more.
Ye Fusheng looked over and found her wearing a wine-red sleeping robe, utterly alluring.
Frowning, [she/he] said: "Why are you in pajamas? I don't need any service — get out, now!"
A flicker of murderous intent crossed the woman's eyes, but it dissolved just as quickly, giving way to an expression full of seductive charm. She descended the stairs with unhurried grace, smiling as she spoke.
"Your mouth says no, but your body is quite honest. Little brother, you've given yourself away — heh."
Ye Fusheng instinctively looked down, then wished he could find a crack in the floor to disappear into. No matter how forceful his words might sound, he was, at the end of the day, still inexperienced in the ways of the world—and this being his first time seeing a woman, he simply couldn't help himself.
Steeling himself, he said, "Enough talk—just go!"
"But this is my home…"
The woman had already moved to Ye Fusheng's side, her eyes languid with seduction: "You may not need the service, but I do. Little brother, looking at you like that — don't tell me you've never touched a woman before? How about this: serve your big sister well tonight, and your big sister will make you the lord of Yunding Heavenly Palace. What do you say?"
Ye Fusheng was completely baffled: "Your home?"
