The room was pitch-black.
But for Lin Xiao, it was as if the darkness didn’t exist at all. That’s right, he could clearly see everything inside the room. Such a thing didn’t shock him in the slightest. After all, ever since he ate that dragon, he had possessed this ability.
What truly shocked Lin Xiao was Shen Jingzhe.
The stark naked Shen Jingzhe lying on the bed. Yes, the girl wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing.
In her usual long dresses, her figure was not apparent. But at this mont, Lin Xiao could see everything with crystal clarity. Who would have thought that this girl, who seed so slim, had such a voluptuous and fiery figure?
Those dazzling headlights, those sexy long legs, that...
Lin Xiao was aroused. He was truly aroused.
Such an erotic scene not only made his heart pound wildly, but a wicked heat also rapidly grew within him. Lin Xiao knew Shen Jingzhe did this to better expel the toxins during her treatnt. But while it was convenient for her, it caused him great distress.
He quickly summoned the Xuantian Needle and, with a wave of his hand, inserted it into the area over Shen Jingzhe’s heart. Then he turned his head aside, not daring to take another glance.
The treatnt process was excruciating. Shen Jingzhe covered her mouth tightly, refusing to make the slightest sound. She had no choice; she knew all too well that the sounds she made out of pain were just too "strange."
The treatnt soon ended, and Lin Xiao removed the Xuantian Needle.
He practically fled toward the door. Just as he reached it, however, he suddenly stopped. Turning to Shen Jingzhe, who lay on the bed as if she had completely collapsed, he said, "You should probably wear sothing tomorrow night. I can’t handle it!"
Having said his piece, Lin Xiao left the room.
Shen Jingzhe, however, shivered all over.
What does that an? Could it be that he can see without my clothes on? But how is that possible? The room is so dark you can’t see your hand in front of your face. Even standing face to face, you might not be able to make out the other person’s features. So what did he an by that?
The more Shen Jingzhe thought about it, the more she felt sothing was wrong. She realized Lin Xiao had seen her completely nude.
BOOM!
Her mind went completely blank.
The pain from the treatnt had not yet subsided, but Shen Jingzhe couldn’t care less about that now. She was so mortified she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. Not only had that scoundrel seen her true face, but now he had seen her entire body.
Shen Jingzhe suddenly rembered what her master had said. "The first one who sees your body will be your destined one."
As this thought crossed her mind, Shen Jingzhe trembled, her gaze becoming exceedingly complicated.
「A silent night passed.」
The next day, after getting up, before he even went downstairs, Lin Xiao could hear people talking below. And the voice was sharp and cruel.
He listened intently for a mont and recognized that the voice belonged to none other than Su Qingfeng.
"Su Qingning, this villa is only temporarily lent to you. Once I marry my husband from a prestigious family, you will obediently get the hell out of here," Su Qingfeng sneered.
"I never planned on staying here long anyway!" Su Qingning replied coldly.
Su Qingfeng said with arrogant triumph, "Glad you get it, Su Qingning. Marrying that beggar is your destiny. Unlike , who is fated to marry into a prestigious family!"
Lin Xiao quickly descended the stairs and, sure enough, saw Su Qingfeng in the living room. The woman was dressed in an extrely flashy manner. Even though she was wearing designer brands, they looked incredibly cheap on her.
Su Qingning sat opposite her, her devastatingly beautiful face covered with frost. She was obviously furious.
Lin Xiao walked over quickly and sat down beside Su Qingning.
"Su Qingfeng, what are you doing here?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Naturally, I’m here to deliver an invitation. Tomorrow is my wedding, and I hope you two pieces of trash can attend together. Then, you can keep your pathetic eyes wide open and see just how impressive the man I’m marrying is!" Su Qingfeng said haughtily.
Lin Xiao held back his laugh and said, "Alright. Where will it be?"
"Of course, a wedding for a prestigious family like ours has to be held at Chunyu Pavilion. And, to curry favor with us, the Shao Family has waived all costs for the event!" Su Qingfeng boasted proudly, as if she were really marrying so scion of a great house.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingning’s expression grew even more somber.
Is the man Su Qingfeng marrying soone even the Shao Family doesn’t dare to provoke? Otherwise, why would they waive all the fees? It wasn’t that she envied Su Qingfeng’s good marriage. Instead, she was starting to worry again about how Su Qingfeng might humiliate her and Lin Xiao once she was married.
"So, have you t your husband yet?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
Su Qingfeng shot Lin Xiao a glare. "What would a stinking beggar like you know? The marriages of prestigious families are ridiculously complicated. Do you think it’s like you marrying this cheap wench, Su Qingning? So pathetic you didn’t even have a wedding ceremony!"
Lin Xiao was taken aback. Indeed, he had never held a wedding ceremony with Su Qingning.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to. On the day they got their marriage license, Su Qingning had told him at the hospital that their marriage would only last for six months. Besides, Lin Xiao didn’t have strong feelings for her back then, so he never organized a ceremony.
However, things were different now. After spending so much ti together, Lin Xiao felt they did have feelings for each other. Having a wedding ceremony wouldn’t be out of the question. Besides, it would be a good opportunity to show Su Qingning his powerful background.
"Honey, how about we have a wedding ceremony, too?" Lin Xiao quickly asked.
Su Qingning, however, shook her head with a dim expression. "Forget about it. I’m not in the mood."
Of course, she wasn’t in the mood. It wasn’t that she was afraid of being embarrassed, nor did she not want one. What girl wouldn’t want to marry the man she loves in a grand ceremony? But her marriage to Lin Xiao was just too complicated. Besides, they had a six-month pact. What would it an to hold a ceremony now?
Lin Xiao didn’t press the issue. He smiled and was about to speak when Su Qingfeng gloated again, "Su Qingning, you know your place. You know holding a wedding would only make you a laughingstock!"
"Su Qingfeng, if there’s nothing else, you can leave now!" Su Qingning said coldly.
A ruthless look flashed in Su Qingfeng’s eyes. "Oh, getting scared now? Don’t be so hasty, Su Qingning. This is just the beginning. Just you wait. After I’m married to my husband, you’ll see how I deal with you two pieces of trash!"
Su Qingning’s face instantly turned pale. Even though she had long expected that Su Qingfeng wouldn’t let her and Lin Xiao off easily, hearing the words co directly from her still made her heart ache.
Lin Xiao, however, just laughed scornfully. "Don’t be in such a hurry, Su Qingfeng. What if the man you marry tomorrow turns out to be a beggar?"
At these words, Su Qingfeng snorted, then burst into laughter.
