Chapter 457: Chapter 455: Saving Qian Duoduo

An hour later, Xiao Yifeng finally finished his cultivation practice, and the power within his body was fully restored. His complexion returned to normal.

Sigh~

Xiao Yifeng exhaled a turbid breath, his eyes flickering with sparkling sharpness. The aura around him became even more formidable, his fists clenched, his body crackling with popping sounds!

He walked up to Elder Qiu’s body, waved his hand, and a wisp of Crimson Earthfire fell upon him. In an instant, the fire enveloped the old man’s corpse and burned it to ashes.

Afterward, Xiao Yifeng returned to the hotel.

Just as Xiao Yifeng was about to return to his room, his gaze flickered, and a playfully amused smile curved at his lips. His body flashed and vanished from the spot.

On the topmost floor of the hotel, this was where the presidential suite was located. Outside one of the suites stood four solemn-faced bodyguards, dressed in black suits.

With a click, the lights in the hallway suddenly went out, plunging it into darkness. The four bodyguards immediately looked around alertly, their expressions wary.

Thwack, thwack, thwack!

In that moment, streaks of cold gleam flashed through the pitch-black corridor, followed by the sounds of blood spurting.

In the darkness, all four bodyguards lay on the ground, each with a bloody line across their throats. Beside them stood a man in black clothes and a masked face, holding a blood-dripping blade in his hand.

The man fiddled with the door for a moment and quickly opened it, darting inside.

In the room, on a large bed, Qian Duoduo was deeply asleep, snoring comfortably, oblivious to the black-clothed, masked man who had crept in quietly.

Approaching the bed, the man’s eyes flashed with terrifying murderous intent. He swung the blade in his hand with ferocity, aiming straight down in a stab.

Qian Duoduo, who had been dreaming sweetly, suddenly felt a chill enveloping him and instinctively jerked awake. His eyes popped open only to see a man standing before him, wielding a knife.

Ah!

Qian Duoduo screamed, nimbly rolled away, and the knife grazed his body and struck the bed. Qian Duoduo rolled under the bed and didn’t recover for a while.

The man leaped over the bed in a single bound, landing in front of Qian Duoduo, his eyes simmering with cold murderous intent as he stared down at him, the blade in his hand still dripping with blood.

”Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?”

Qian Duoduo watched the man, his face not displaying much panic, surprisingly calm.

”Dead men don’t need to know too much. All you need to know is that today is the anniversary of your death,” the man in black said coldly, waving his hand, ready to strike Qian Duoduo with the blade again.

”Coming to murder someone in the middle of the night, quite professional, aren’t we?” a teasing voice suddenly filled the room, causing the man in black to jerk his head around, his expression changed dramatically when he saw a young man by the door, none other than Xiao Yifeng.

”Boss!”

”Boss, you finally showed up. If you hadn’t come, you wouldn’t see me again!”

Seeing Xiao Yifeng, Qian Duoduo put on a pitiful face.

”Shut up!”

Xiao Yifeng glared at Qian Duoduo, who closed his mouth with a look of grievance.

”Who are you?”

The man fixed his gaze on Xiao Yifeng.

”Killing someone so late at night, you’re really dedicated. Unfortunately, you’ve disturbed me, so I have no choice but to interfere,” Xiao Yifeng said, hands in his pockets as he strolled leisurely over.

”Seeking death!”

The man in black’s eyes narrowed, a flash of murderous intent fleeting past as he sprang towards Xiao Yifeng, the blade in his hand aimed lightning-fast at Xiao Yifeng’s throat.

Thump!

But before the man could get close, Xiao Yifeng kicked him away, sending him crashing heavily against the opposite wall.

A dull sound was heard as the man spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his mask falling away to reveal a pale face.

”Boring!”

Xiao Yifeng muttered with a curl of his lip, walking straight over.

”Boss, I really can’t thank you enough!”

Qian Duoduo looked at Xiao Yifeng excitedly as he scrambled up from the ground, his plump body surprisingly agile, his arms wide open, ready to embrace Xiao Yifeng.

”If you don’t want to be kicked by me, you’d better not touch me!”

Xiao Yifeng said indifferently, Qian Duoduo glanced at the man in black, shivering and taking a few steps back in fear.

”Boss, no matter what, I have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, my little life would have been gone. I haven’t flirted enough, haven’t slept with enough beauties. Dying like that would have been too regrettable.”

Qian Duoduo pouted, going on and on with his rambling.

”How should we deal with this guy? Just kill him?”

Xiao Yifeng’s gaze swept toward the man in black.

”This guy dared to kill me, definitely can’t let him off so easily.”

Qian Duoduo walked over, squatted down, patted the man’s face, and said coldly, ”Tell us who sent you.”

The man’s face was emotionless, and he remained silent.

”Yo, still not talking, huh!”

Qian Duoduo picked up a blade from the ground and viciously stabbed it into the man’s palm, piercing through it, and the latter grimaced, biting back a grunt.

”You still won’t talk, huh?”

Qian Duoduo said resentfully, about to stab down again.

”Your method won’t work, watch me!”

Xiao Yifeng grabbed Qian Duoduo and pulled him aside, then walked over to the man, grabbed his head.

Soul-Capturing Eyes!

A purple halo shimmered in Xiao Yifeng’s eyes, and the man’s expression turned vacant, his pupils dilated, his mind captured by the Soul Capture.

”Who sent you?”

Xiao Yifeng asked coldly.

”I was sent by Duansan, ordered to kill Young Master Qian!”

The man said in a dull manner.

”Duansan?”

Hearing this name, Qian Duoduo’s expression slightly changed, and a peculiar light flashed in his eyes.

”Anything else?”

Xiao Yifeng continued to ask.

”Boss, no need to ask further!”

Qian Duoduo interrupted, stepping forward, taking the blade, and stabbing it into the man’s chest, killing him on the spot.

Seeing Qian Duoduo take action, Xiao Yifeng didn’t say anything, his eyes coolly sweeping over Qian Duoduo, he said, ”You seem to have quite the nerve yourself, don’t you?”

”He wanted to kill me; naturally, I couldn’t let him go. But if it hadn’t been for you showing up in time, Boss, I might really have died.”

Qian Duoduo spoke.

”I’m someone who doesn’t like owing favors. You helped me out with a little trouble at the antique fair before, so consider this as me returning the favor.”

Xiao Yifeng said bluntly.

”Boss, let’s not stand on ceremony with each other.”

Qian Duoduo’s face was all smiles, his small eyes squinting until they were nearly a slit.

”You’re the Young Master of China’s First Consortium, why would you acknowledge a nobody like me as your boss? Isn’t that embarrassing?”

Xiao Yifeng looked at him, unamused.

PS: I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about being double-charged for Chapters. Let me say this, it has nothing to do with me, it’s an issue with your phone app; normally, you wouldn’t be double charged. Also, many say the updates are slow. All I have to say is, go ahead and see how many books in the bookstore update ten thousand words a day. My updates might not be the most frequent, but they are certainly not few. Of course, I’ll burst update when I have time!
