Xiao Ya invited Li Xiaoyao to sit by the poolside on a sun lounger and said, "Mr. Li, please rest here for a while, I am going to change my clothes."
"Hmm."
Li Xiaoyao lay on the chair, enjoying the comfort of the sun shining on him, and slightly squinted his eyes.
Despite the passing by of swimsuit-clad won with striking figures, Li Xiaoyao paid them no attention.
Xiao Dingguo, dressed in beach shorts and a floral shirt, walked over and sat down beside Li Xiaoyao. He said, "Mr. Li, tonight, let’s dine outside with fine wine and barbecue, what do you think?"
Li Xiaoyao had no particular opinion on where to eat or what to eat.
His purpose for being here was not food and drink but rather dicinal materials.
As long as he got the dicinal materials, even just drinking water would not matter.
At that mont, Ji Yutao lay down on the other side of Li Xiaoyao and struck up a conversation as if they were old friends, asking, "I’ve never had the chance to ask, Mr. Li, where are you from?"
As soon as this question was raised, Xiao Dingguo and Cheng Dongliang, who was walking towards them, both looked over.
Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and reached for the pendant around his neck, a hint of bewildernt flashed in his eyes.
It was a tiger tooth pendant that had been with him for as long as he could rember.
The old guy who had picked up Li Xiaoyao said that when he found him, the pendant and a piece of paper were on his neck, and the paper only had the character "Li" written on it. So, the old man guessed that Li Xiaoyao’s family na was likely Li.
Thus, Li Xiaoyao was actually an orphan, not even knowing whether his parents were still alive.
Li Xiaoyao had originally thought that after so many years, when facing this matter again, he would be very calm.
But he suddenly found that, faced with this matter, he could not maintain an indifferent state of mind.
Why did his parents abandon him?
And to do so in a foreign land, were they really that heartless?
Li Xiaoyao had considered many reasons and eventually felt that his parents might have given birth to him while traveling in Yun Country but didn’t want to keep him, so they abandoned him.
Li Xiaoyao was silent for a long ti and sighed deeply.
Seeing that his mood was not right, Ji Yutao secretly wondered if he had asked sothing he shouldn’t have.
Xiao Dingguo said to a lady, "Bring over so barbecue and wine."
The lady, swinging her ample hips, walked over to the grill and ca back carrying a plate of at and a bottle of wine.
The lady knelt halfway in front of Li Xiaoyao, handing out wine and at to everyone, but they didn’t pay much attention to her, thwarting her attempt to charm them.
The so-called banquet was actually a barbecue pool party.
Whether it was Xiao Dingguo or Ji Yutao, both were high-ranking authorities, and at heart, they shared a strong sense of male dominance. They were quite interested in this gathering that was exclusively females, with themselves as the only exceptions.
After a few drinks, everyone got rry.
It was normal for Xiao Dingguo and Ji Yutao, being ordinary people, to be affected by alcohol.
They hugged from the left and held from the right, having the ti of their lives.
Cheng Dongliang and Li Xiaoyao leaned back on their chairs, discussing matters related to Cultivators.
"Mr. Li, when I was purchasing dicinal materials this ti, I heard that the Ghost Market is about to start."
"The Ghost Market? What’s that?"
Cheng Dongliang explained, "The so-called Ghost Market is a term used within our Cultivation community. It’s a market that only Cultivators and Martial Artists are qualified to attend. There, one can buy and sell all sorts of things, as long as you have sothing that the other party is interested in."
"You can think of the Ghost Market as a place where Cultivators exchange items. However, in the market, many rules are nullified, and everything depends on one’s strength. Therefore, every ti the Ghost Market opens, quite a number of Martial Artists and Cultivators perish within it."
Li Xiaoyao nodded and asked, "When is the Ghost Market set to open?"
Cheng Dongliang said, "It should be soon, during this period of ti."
Li Xiaoyao then asked, "What are the requirents to participate in the Ghost Market?"
Cheng Dongliang said, "Indeed, there are requirents, but they’re not worth ntioning for you. When the Ghost Market opens, I’ll notify you. You can just co with ."
"Okay."
The Ghost Market was definitely a rare opportunity. Only Martial Artists and Cultivators could enter it, which would be an opportunity for Li Xiaoyao to interact with many insiders.
Li Xiaoyao wasn’t curious about Cultivators; he only cared if he could find the things he needed at the Ghost Market.
For example, dicinal herbs or so Magic Artifacts.
"Eh..."
Suddenly, Cheng Dongliang sighed.
Li Xiaoyao asked, "Why do you sigh, Old Cheng?"
Cheng Dongliang shook his head with a bitter smile, then turned to Li Xiaoyao and said, "Mr. Li, there’s sothing I’m puzzled about, and I hope you can help clarify it."
Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Cheng Dongliang said, "Ever since you detoxified that day, my daughter Yiyi has been acting strangely, and she would not tell what’s on her mind. The next day, she left."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao’s heart skipped a beat, feeling sowhat embarrassed.
He, of course, knew why Cheng Yiyi had changed so much—it was all his doing.
But Li Xiaoyao couldn’t tell him that.
"Perhaps she has so personal issues," Li Xiaoyao said without giving anything away.
Cheng Dongliang nodded emphatically, believing this was true, "You’re right, Mr. Li. That’s what I thought as well."
"Old Cheng, you can just call Xiaoyao. You’re older than I am; there’s no need for formalities," Li Xiaoyao suggested.
Cheng Dongliang was delighted inside, but kept his composure, "Is that okay?"
"There’s nothing wrong with that. We can be considered friends despite the age difference. Always using formal titles is too estranging." The so-called friendship despite the age gap was all about screwing his daughter and then becoming brothers with him.
"What are Mr. Li and Old Cheng discussing? May the young lady have the pleasure of joining?" Xiao Ya’s voice rang out.
The two n looked over to see Xiao Ya dressed in a black bikini, her explosive figure on full display, compelling a second look.
Cheng Dongliang’s heart clenched and he subconsciously searched for Xiao Dingguo, seeing him engrossed in play with a girl, he wondered if the old man also intended to offer his daughter as he did?
Although this tactic was contemptible, he had to admit, it was effective!
With a twist of her waist, Xiao Ya approached Li Xiaoyao, her fair, taut legs in full stride. She turned slightly, bent down, and sat next to Li Xiaoyao, the scent of a young girl stirring his senses.
Li Xiaoyao was no desireless Monk; he too would take an extra look at a beautiful woman, especially one as charming as Xiao Ya.
If it was just about appearance, Xiao Ya might not be the most beautiful; if it was about figure, she definitely wasn’t the most voluptuous.
But it was Xiao Ya’s background, her sowhat dominant personality, and the intelligent aura she emanated that stimulated n, giving them an impulse to conquer her.
Both may be won, but there’s a vast difference between an ordinary white-collar worker and a multi-national corporation’s female CEO.
Given the choice, the sense of achievent from conquering the latter is far more intense than from the forr.
Now, it was exactly this feeling Xiao Ya gave Li Xiaoyao, a feeling he had only experienced with Lan Cai.
If he could dominate such a woman, who in every aspect could be considered an exceptional beauty, the satisfaction and sense of achievent would be sothing ordinary won could never give.
