Chapter 293: Chapter 292: Encounter with Qiuyue Again
"Boss, you’ve made a na for yourself again—the Underground Boxing Emperor! That’s a throne countless underground boxers and desperados dream of. You’re the boss for a reason; with your strength, anywhere you go becos your throne!" He Yu exclaid, sidling up to Ye Fan with a fawning expression.
"The Thailand Underground Boxing Emperor tournant is over," Ye Fan said. "When are you planning to return to the Divine Land?"
In truth, Ye Fan was also getting impatient and planned to head back in two or three days.
"Very soon," He Yu replied. "But I need to take over the shares of the Underground Boxing Ring in Thailand before I can leave."
Ye Fan nodded. "Alright, then I’ll relax in Thailand for a few days."
Thailand was a magical place, ho to ancient arts like the Buddha Talisman Technique and the Ghost Suppressing Technique—spells so notorious they struck fear across the land. Ye Fan, however, had never witnessed them before.
His first stop after leaving the Divine Land had been Thailand. He spent three months there recuperating from his injuries before the fear of pursuit from the Divine Dragon forced him to head to the Western World. Though it had only been three short months, Ye Fan considered it the place where he had been reborn.
Soon after, Ye Fan and He Yu arrived in a Thai city and checked into a luxurious hotel.
Around nine o’clock that evening, Ye Fan grew bored of watching a movie in his room and decided to go for a walk. As he reached the hotel lobby, however, he spotted a familiar face: Shangguan Qiuyue, who was in the middle of checking in with her bodyguards.
Just as Shangguan Qiuyue turned around, she saw Ye Fan looking at her. She was instantly stunned to see the man she loved in a place like this. For a mont, she wondered if her eyes were playing tricks on her, but Ye Fan was standing right there.
She walked up to him. Her bodyguards, knowing this was the man their young mistress fancied, did not follow.
Ye Fan smiled. "I didn’t expect to see you here!"
"I know! I didn’t expect to run into you here either!" Shangguan Qiuyue replied with a laugh.
Today, she was dressed as a stylish urban professional, her business attire giving her the aura of a powerful queen of comrce. "What brings you to Thailand?" she asked.
"Just sightseeing. You?"
"Sightseeing, and you didn’t even call ! I’m here on business!" Shangguan Qiuyue pouted. The man she loved had ti for a vacation but didn’t even think to invite her. She was quite annoyed.
"In that case, why don’t we go for a walk?" Ye Fan suggested.
"I was thinking the sa thing!" Shangguan Qiuyue imdiately agreed.
Just as they stepped out, they saw He Yu walking in with a top-notch beauty on each arm, two won he had clearly invited from a high-end club. He spotted Ye Fan but didn’t see Shangguan Qiuyue at first.
"Boss, not bad, huh!" he said with a leer. "Here, this curvy one’s for you!"
Ye Fan didn’t dare look at Shangguan Qiuyue’s expression. He just kept winking desperately at He Yu. My pristine reputation is completely ruined by this guy.
"Boss, why are you winking? Not enough for you? I can call for more! As many as you want!" He Yu exclaid, completely misunderstanding the situation.
Ye Fan finally snapped, "Am I that kind of person? Stop tarnishing my na!"
He Yu had no idea why the Boss was suddenly so furious. But then he saw Shangguan Qiuyue approaching Ye Fan and froze. He was instantly overco with envy. Here was Ye Fan, accompanied by a peerless beauty even in a place like this. He glanced at the two won with him; while not bad, they were completely outclassed.
He quickly adopted a serious expression. "My apologies, I’ve mistaken you for soone else! My boss is waiting upstairs!" He then hurriedly escorted the two won away, scurrying up the stairs.
Ye Fan quickly tried to explain, "He mistook
for soone else. Do I look like that kind of person?"
But Shangguan Qiuyue just said sarcastically, "So, our great King of Heaven has such unique tastes. A preference for won from clubs, is it?"
"That’s not it, I’m really not like that!" Ye Fan said awkwardly. Even if he were, he couldn’t possibly admit it. It was all He Yu’s fault for being so impatient, calling won over the mont they had checked into the hotel.
"Hmph! I’m going to change. You wait for ," she said.
"Okay!" Ye Fan readily agreed, sitting in the hotel lobby to wait for her.
Half an hour passed, and Shangguan Qiuyue still hadn’t co down. Won are so much trouble, taking this long just to change clothes, Ye Fan griped internally.
It was nearly an hour in total before a completely refreshed Shangguan Qiuyue finally appeared. She was wearing an expensive designer dress that, on top of her already stunning beauty, made her look absolutely ravishing.
"Let’s go," she said, picking up her handbag.
As they left the hotel, Ye Fan offered, "Let
carry your bag for you."
"Okay," she agreed, then unconsciously reached out and took his hand.
They looked exactly like a fashionable, modern couple. In that mont, Shangguan Qiuyue felt a wave of happiness wash over her. She had always been an independent woman who walked her own path, and aside from Ye Fan, no one had ever managed to catch her eye. Now, she felt they were closer than ever.
It looks like I’ll have to create an opportunity for you! Shangguan Qiuyue thought to herself. Her eyes fell on a nearby bar. "How about we go for a drink?" she suggested.
"Now?"
"Yes!" she nodded.
"Is that a good idea?" Ye Fan said. "If I get drunk and do sothing... inappropriate, wouldn’t that be awkward?"
"I’m just afraid you won’t dare!" Shangguan Qiuyue retorted bluntly, leaving Ye Fan speechless. She was right; he really didn’t dare.
The two entered the upscale bar. Shangguan Qiuyue ordered so wine and began drinking with an elegant posture. After she’d had quite a bit, her head began to feel dizzy.
"I think I’m drunk," she told Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was at a loss for words. The bar was quite unique, offering not just wine but also cocktails and champagne. Shangguan Qiuyue had tried a little of everything, so it would have been stranger if she wasn’t dizzy. Even Ye Fan found that the potent mix of alcohols was giving him a headache. He rembered the last ti Qin ngyao had gotten him drunk with a similar concoction; he still had no idea who the woman he had spent that night with was.
"It’s okay," he said to her. "I’ll take you back."
They returned to the hotel, and he escorted her to her room, which was filled with a pleasant fragrance. "You should get so sleep," he told her. "Don’t move around when you’re drunk."
"Wait, let
make you a cup of tea!" she said.
"I don’t really like tea," Ye Fan replied.
"You’ll definitely like this one. It’s my Shangguan Family’s unique floral tea. One cup will calm your nerves and help you sleep."
Although insomnia was a non-issue for a Martial Artist of his caliber, the idea of a tea that could aid sleep intrigued him, so he decided to try it.
Shangguan Qiuyue, though a bit dizzy, didn’t seem truly drunk. She took out the floral tea, placed it in a cup, and then added about five grams of a fine powder. She then handed the cup to Ye Fan, who was t with a strong, pleasant floral fragrance.
He had to admit, he liked the scent. But he didn’t drink.
"Afraid I’ve poisoned it?" Shangguan Qiuyue asked. "I’ll drink first." She imdiately took a sip from the cup.
Ye Fan laughed. "How could I be afraid of you poisoning ? You have no reason to harm ." With that, he drained the cup in one gulp.
At that mont, Shangguan Qiuyue smiled seductively, leaving Ye Fan completely clueless as to why.
