Li Xiaoyao rolled his eyes, he had co to realize that if he truly showed interest in her, she would unquestionably hesitate to offer her body.
His strength might be part of the reason for her presence, but more so, Li Xiaoyao believed that this woman truly had feelings for him.
A woman like Xiao Ya, once she falls in love, not even the gods could stop her.
Li Xiaoyao withdrew his hand and took out a white jade bottle, placing it on the table, "This is the Marrow-Cleansing and Bone-Refining Pill, take it when you go back."
"Can I beco a cultivator after taking it?" Xiao Ya asked curiously.
"No," Li Xiaoyao replied, "This pill can only purify the impurities in your body, making you healthier than the average person. If you want to beco a cultivator, you will need to nourish your body with my spiritual power."
Xiao Ya's eyes sparkled as she inquired, "Then may I trouble Mr. Li to nourish my body for ?"
When Xiao Ya learned that she had the chance to beco a cultivator, she truly did not want to let go of this opportunity.
How exalted the status of a cultivator is, Xiao Ya understood better than anyone.
Once she beca a cultivator, would the Xiao Family still need to look at others' faces to act?
However, Li Xiaoyao shook his head, "No."
"Why?"
"I have to kill Yang Tianren, I don't have the ti." How long would it take to nourish a body? The reason Li Xiaoyao refused was because nourishing a body required genuine mutual trust, and he did not intend to develop his relationship with Xiao Ya any further.
"Alright," Xiao Ya said dejectedly, lowering her head. She picked up her glass and downed her Long Island iced tea in one gulp.
After a few minutes to compose herself, Xiao Ya returned to the matter at hand, "Yang Tianren is returning to Jindu tonight; tomorrow is the day the Zheng Family and the Wu Family have their engagent ceremony. He must be coming back specifically for this event."
"The Zheng Family and the Wu Family are having an engagent?" It had been only two days; Li Xiaoyao had just taken Lan Cai back from the Zheng Family, and now they had imdiately sought another family for an alliance? That was rather too quick.
Xiao Ya nodded, "Yes, the Zheng Family and the Wu Family are also considered long-ti friends, and besides, the two families are well-matched. An alliance is beneficial for both sides."
Li Xiaoyao toyed with the glass in his hand, whispering, "Where is the engagent ceremony taking place?"
A bad premonition welled up in her heart; instead of answering, Xiao Ya replied with a question, "What are you planning to do?"
Setting down his glass, Li Xiaoyao enunciated every word, "Kill Yang Tianren!"
Xiao Ya's body shook slightly. Li Xiaoyao thought she would persuade him, but instead she smiled beautifully, "I'll take care of the hotel security."
"Oh?" Li Xiaoyao looked at her in surprise and asked, "Are you not afraid of the Zheng Family's retaliation afterward?"
"If I were afraid, I wouldn't be here eting with you now." Xiao Ya, at this mont, was as bold as a man, "Fortune cos with risk, I know that to gain your trust, I must give up sothing. Since you are not interested in my body, let's swap in another way, a fair exchange."
Li Xiaoyao observed her with interest, he had to admit, Xiao Ya's personality really suited his taste.
"No, you're mistaken," Li Xiaoyao held up a finger and waggled it, "In fact, I am very interested in your body, I want to f-ck you right now, but I can control myself because I am a human, not a beast."
Even with her steady disposition, Xiao Ya was taken aback upon hearing Li Xiaoyao's rather crude words.
Li Xiaoyao personally sent Xiao Ya ho, then returned to the hotel.
On the way, he received a phone call from Lan Cai.
"Xiaoyao, I'm leaving."
"Leaving? Where to?" Li Xiaoyao was sowhat bewildered.
"To Yun Country, to manage all of Xiao Ya's international affairs," Lan Cai said with reluctance in her voice, "The ticket was originally set for tomorrow, I wanted to tell you when you just left, but you left too hastily."
"International affairs?" Li Xiaoyao sneered.
What overseas affairs, he could guess with his butt that it must have been the decision of the old man of the Lan Family, Lan Shanwen. The reason for this, he feared, was because Lan Shanwen wanted to distance the Lan Family from himself.
As for why they wanted to disassociate from him, it probably had to do with what he said at noon about dealing with the Zheng Family, which alerted Lan Shanwen.
He was afraid of retaliation from the cultivators behind the Zheng Family.
Indeed, Lan Shanwen had planned just that. Since he couldn't prevent Li Xiaoyao from dealing with the Zheng Family, it was better to disassociate from him as soon as possible to preserve himself wisely.
A surge of anger swelled, and the veins on Li Xiaoyao's hand gripping his phone bulged.
"Xiaoyao, can you co to see off? I want to see you," Lan Cai's voice was filled with reluctance and longing.
The plane ticket that was originally for tomorrow had been changed to tonight.
Lan Cai really wanted to refuse to go to Yun Country, but in the face of her grandfather's expectant gaze, she just couldn't bring herself to voice the refusal.
"Wait for ."
After hanging up the phone, Li Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with violence; if Lan Shanwen wasn't Lan Cai's grandfather, he would have killed him.
There were not a few who sought self-preservation, concerned only with themselves, and these people were irrelevant to Li Xiaoyao.
But when such things happened to him, if Li Xiaoyao could still tolerate it, then he wouldn't be Li Xiaoyao.
However, Li Xiaoyao was not impulsive, because he knew that impulsiveness wouldn't solve any problems, only making the situation worse and irreparable.
He was indeed a genius cultivator, with a vast potential for developnt.
He understood this, and so did Lan Shanwen.
Yet, despite that, Lan Shanwen was still willing to risk offending him, sending Lan Cai to Yun Country—why?
Because Lan Shanwen had seen too many stories of so-called geniuses dying young.
Most of these people were highly prideful, yet their lives were as fragile as paper.
Lan Shanwen did not believe that Li Xiaoyao could withstand the Zheng Family's wrath on his own, nor did he believe that he could kill Yang Tianren in a direct confrontation.
Li Xiaoyao also knew that his cultivation level was indeed powerful, but there was always soone stronger out there; this world never lacked geniuses and mighty ones.
He certainly possessed the Mysterious System, but his cultivation level was limited. He may be able to hold sway in Ling City, but in the Imperial City, he was still sowhat lacking.
When Li Xiaoyao arrived at the Lan Family's place, a driver was waiting outside the villa. Old man Lan Shanwen sat inside the car, while Lan Cai stood outside, standing gracefully, waiting for Li Xiaoyao.
"Cai'er."
Li Xiaoyao approached from a distance.
Lan Cai ran swiftly a few steps and plunged into his arms.
"Xiaoyao." With her head against his chest, holding him tightly, Lan Cai truly didn't want to leave.
"If you don't want to go, then stay," he said.
Lan Cai shook her head with a bitter smile, "I want to do sothing for the family. Although I really don't want to leave you, I must go. Xiaoyao, will you bla ?"
"No bla." Caressing her cheek, Li Xiaoyao said affectionately, "Wait for in Yun Country. Once I'm done with things here, I'll co find you."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lan Cai tiptoed and kissed him willingly.
Beneath the night sky, with a faint halo of the moon enveloping them, a stationary car, and a couple embracing each other, unable to let go, ford a beautiful picture.

Inside the car, Lan Shanwen shook his head in silence.
