Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

At first, she didn't recognize Zhao Dong. A second later, her expression changed drastically as she exclaimed in shock, "How could it be you?!"

Zhao Dong coughed out a mouthful of bloody spittle and gave Ye Qingxuan a grim smile. "We meet again..."

Sun Feichen, who was standing nearby, asked in astonishment, "Miss Ye, you know this man?"

A flash of anger appeared in Ye Qingxuan's eyes as she shot a cold glance at Sun Feichen. "What exactly is going on?"

Sun Feichen was so scared he nearly wet his pants. How could Zhao Dong know Ye Qingxuan? That's impossible! Who is Ye Qingxuan? She's someone even our Governor has to show deference to, a member of the Huaxia Dragon Group! The Huaxia Dragon Group only has twelve members, an entity that stands entirely above the Kunlong Bureau! How could she possibly know Zhao Dong?

Sun Feichen swallowed hard and said fearfully, "Miss Ye, this man is a murderer! Yesterday, he publicly killed a cultivator from the Provincial City. I am merely enforcing the regulations of the Kunlong Bureau."

Ye Qingxuan looked at Zhao Dong and frowned. "Zhao Dong, you tell me what happened."

Nearby, Han Qingtian and Xu Yafei were also stunned. Sun Feichen was a Commander in the Kunlong Bureau, yet he was acting so respectfully toward this woman. It was truly unbelievable. What was even more unbelievable was that she also knew Zhao Dong.

For a moment, Xu Yafei felt a sour pang of jealousy. How does this guy know so many women who are not only beautiful and noble but also have powerful backgrounds?

All eyes turned to Zhao Dong, who said hoarsely, "I was injured yesterday because that man from the Provincial City provoked me at the banquet. I acted in self-defense. Killing him shouldn't be a capital offense, but this Commander Sun first tried to kill me, and then he tried to destroy my Dantian. If you hadn't shown up, I'd be a cripple right now..."

Ye Qingxuan's gaze was terrifyingly cold. When she met Zhao Dong yesterday, her intuition told her he wasn't a bad person. She had even expended a significant amount of Spiritual Energy to completely heal his meridians, yet now he had been beaten to a pulp once again.

She turned to Sun Feichen, her tone glacial. "Commander Sun, give me an explanation."

Sun Feichen fell to his knees with a THUD.

"Miss Ye, I didn't know he was your friend! If I had known, I wouldn't have dared to touch him, not even on pain of death!"

Ye Qingxuan said coldly, "This has nothing to do with him being my friend. If Zhao Dong truly committed an unforgivable crime, then I won't interfere with his punishment. But if you dare to abuse your authority to carry out a private sentence, I won't let you off. Speak. What happened?"

A cold sweat broke out all over Sun Feichen, and he looked like he was about to burst into tears.

"Miss Ye, Zhao Dong killed someone. The man's name was Wei Wu, from the Wei Family in the Provincial City. He held a grudge against Zhao Dong, so he tried to kill him at the banquet yesterday but was killed by Zhao Dong instead..."

"Casualties are normal in clashes between cultivators. So why did you try to take Zhao Dong's life and destroy his Dantian?"

"I... I was pressured into it. The Wei Family and the Xiao Family... they asked me to kill Zhao Dong. Miss Ye, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have abused my authority. Please, I beg you, forgive me..."

As he spoke, Sun Feichen prostrated himself, banging his head on the floor repeatedly as tears streamed down his face.

This is a member of the Huaxia Dragon Group! Her power is beyond measure, and her status is supreme. Even if she killed me on the spot, there would be no consequences, for they have special privileges.

With a wave of her slender hand, Ye Qingxuan sent Sun Feichen flying. He crashed heavily into the wall, breaking several bones and spitting out a mouthful of blood, yet he didn't dare utter a single word of complaint.

Ye Qingxuan then looked back at Zhao Dong, her gaze softening slightly. She traced a finger through the air, and instantly, Zhao Dong's handcuffs and shackles shattered into dust.

She brought two fingers together and pointed lightly at Zhao Dong's forehead from a distance.

Threads of invisible Spiritual Energy entered Zhao Dong's body, and his broken meridians slowly began to mend.

Seeing this, Sun Feichen's heart sank into despair. It's over. Zhao Dong isn't going to die now, and I've made a mortal enemy of him. The future...

A sinister, murderous glint flashed in Sun Feichen's eyes. Regardless, with Ye Qingxuan here today, I can't touch Zhao Dong. But she can't be by his side forever. When that time comes...

Zhao Dong quickly felt much better and managed to push himself to his feet. "Thank you. I owe you two lives now," he said with a bitter smile.

Ye Qingxuan's expression was calm. She glanced at Zhao Dong without a word, then turned back to Sun Feichen, who immediately began begging for mercy.

"Miss Ye, this subordinate knows his mistake. Please, give me another chance..."

"Abusing your authority for personal revenge, with such vicious and malicious intent... If I hadn't appeared today, a promising young cultivator would have been crushed by your hand. Do you think a simple 'I was wrong' can settle the matter?" Ye Qingxuan's voice was frighteningly cold.

Sun Feichen's heart skipped a beat, his face contorting in terror. "Miss Ye, I truly know I was wrong. I beg you, please give me a chance."

Ye Qingxuan was unmoved. With a flick of her wrist, a longsword materialized in her hand. She slashed it through the air toward Sun Feichen.

A sharp Sword Qi shot directly at him!

SPLAT!

Sun Feichen's right leg exploded into a mist of blood!

"AHHH!!!"

His eyes looked ready to split as he let out a soul-tearing scream. His right leg had been completely destroyed.

"In light of your many years of service to the Kunlong Bureau, I will spare your life. But if I ever discover you doing something like this again, you will be killed without mercy!"

Tears of agony streamed down Sun Feichen's face as his entire body trembled. "Yes, Miss Ye. This subordinate understands."

Ye Qingxuan shot Sun Feichen one last cold look before turning and walking out of the interrogation room without another word.

Xu Yafei moved to support Zhao Dong, and they all walked out together.

Once outside the Inspectorate building, Ye Qingxuan stopped and turned to face Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong smiled at her. "Miss Ye, I can never repay your kindness. If you ever need me for anything in the future, just say the word. I would climb a mountain of knives or plunge into a sea of fire for you."

Ye Qingxuan's expression was placid. "I don't need you to do anything for me. I only saved you because I think you have talent and might amount to something one day. Your talent is decent, but don't let it go to your head. Remember to keep a low profile until you are strong enough. Otherwise, you might not be so lucky next time."

Zhao Dong gave her a cheeky look. "Meeting you twice proves my luck is pretty good, don't you think, Miss Ye?"

As he spoke, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to her perfect figure. He glanced at the snowy-white expanse of her chest before quickly looking away. It's not my fault. Everyone appreciates beauty.

Ye Qingxuan immediately noticed his wandering eyes. The image of Zhao Dong's misbehaving hands on her peaks last night flashed through her mind. She suddenly felt awkward, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks.

She glared coldly at Zhao Dong and, without another word, turned and walked away. Her graceful figure soon disappeared.

After Ye Qingxuan left, Han Qingtian and Han Chuxue said their goodbyes to Zhao Dong and departed as well.

The fact that the Han Family had stepped in to help him meant he now owed them a great favor. Zhao Dong decided he would pay them a formal visit soon to express his gratitude.

Now, only Xu Yafei and Zhao Dong remained. He looked at her, scratched his head, and smiled. "I really didn't expect you to come."

Xu Yafei rolled her eyes. "What, I shouldn't have?"

"That's not it. Your coming here is a pleasant surprise. I'm very touched."

"You can save your touching sentiments," she said, rolling her eyes again. "I didn't do much. It was Miss Ye who helped you."

Zhao Dong detected the sour note in her voice and said with a grin, "Hmm, why do I smell something sour? Is someone jealous?"

Xu Yafei's face instantly turned red. She glared at Zhao Dong, turned on her heel, and got into her car. Grinning, Zhao Dong followed her in.

She stomped on the gas, and the car shot forward.

Soon, they arrived at Xu Yafei's apartment. Without a word to Zhao Dong, she grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. A moment later, the sound of the shower started.

Zhao Dong's heart leaped with joy. Has it only been a few days? Xu Yafei has become so thoughtful, even taking the initiative to bathe!

Shortly after, the water stopped. Xu Yafei emerged in a nightgown, a healthy blush on her cheeks from the hot water. Her damp, dark hair cascaded over her shoulders, and tiny, glistening droplets of water dotted her face.

Beneath the burgundy silk nightgown were her long, slender legs, as was the alluring valley of her deep V-neckline. The stunning, voluptuous silhouette made Zhao Dong swallow hard.

Noticing his gaze, Xu Yafei spoke, trying to hide her shyness. "The pain in my body has started again these past two days. I think the Bone Corrosive Poison is acting up. Can you take a look?"

Zhao Dong cleared his throat and adopted a serious tone. "Simple. My medical skills have improved greatly recently, especially my acupuncture. I'll just give you a few good pokes with the needle, and you'll be fine."

Xu Yafei bit her lip, a crimson blush spreading across her face. She felt there was a hidden meaning in his words but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Shooting him a glare, she turned and walked into the bedroom, leaving a fragrant scent in her wake. Zhao Dong was no fool; he stood up and followed her.

He entered the bedroom and froze, stunned by the scene before him.

Xu Yafei was sitting on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window. The curtains were half-drawn, filling the room with a soft, dim light.

She was completely naked, her long legs crossed and dangling languidly over the arm of the sofa. Her gaze was intense as she stared at him...

Zhao Dong swallowed hard. I'm going to explode!
