Wolf Head Muli, You Have Courted Death

Although Muli had been rebuffed by Xiao Yi Xian, he was fairly good at controlling his emotions and quickly composed himself.

After all, this was not the first time Xiao Yi Xian had rejected him, nor was he the only one she had rejected.

If Xiao Yi Xian had not been so difficult to win over, he would not have gone to such lengths to conquer her.

It perfectly illustrated the saying: what one could not have was always the best.

In an instant, the gloom on Muli's face turned to sunshine. He naturally put the pendant away and sighed. "Since you are so resolute, then forget it. But I had this pendant specially made for you, and I will never give it to anyone else. Xiao Yi Xian, so long as you are willing, you may take it at any time. It will always belong to you."

By the end, Muli's face had once again assumed an affectionate expression.

However, Xiao Yi Xian had already caught the fleeting shadow of gloom on his face. Seeing his hypocritical act now, she felt sick from the bottom of her heart.

Even if that little pervert Xiao Ce was awful, he was still a hundred times better than this hypocrite.

The moment she thought of Xiao Ce, Xiao Yi Xian froze and could not help looking past Muli.

A tall, handsome figure with an air of carefree unruliness was walking over from the distance.

A flicker of delight passed through Xiao Yi Xian's eyes.

That little pervert had finally come!

Beside her, Muli had yet to notice anything unusual and switched tactics, extending an invitation to Xiao Yi Xian.

"Xiao Yi Xian, you do not have to accept the pendant, but allow me to invite you to dinner. It is only a meal together. You would not refuse even that, would you?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian glanced toward Xiao Ce in the distance. An idea struck her, and a sly glint flashed through her eyes.

A smile blossomed upon her exquisitely beautiful face like a white camellia in bloom.

Even Muli stood there dumbstruck for a moment.

But Xiao Yi Xian's next words struck him like a bolt from the blue.

"Young Commander Muli, I am afraid that will not work either, because my fiancé has come to pick me up."

With that, Xiao Yi Xian rose with a beaming smile. Passing the thunderstruck Muli before he could react, she jogged toward Xiao Ce and threw herself into his arms, saying coquettishly, "Xiao Ce, why did you come to pick me up so late?"

The moment Xiao Ce saw the situation, he understood.

Oh, she was using him as a shield!

Then he absolutely had to take full advantage of it.

Xiao Ce instantly got into character, wrapping an arm around Xiao Yi Xian's slender waist and giving it a gentle rub.

At that moment, he clearly felt the girl's body stiffen slightly, only to relax again at once. Apparently, their interactions over the past two days had raised her threshold. She merely lifted her head and glared at him.

Xiao Ce placed his other hand on Xiao Yi Xian's back and lightly patted it, playing along perfectly as he said in a somewhat doting tone:

"Alright, alright, it was all my fault."

"However you want to punish me later, I will accept it."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce winked at Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian had not expected Xiao Ce to cooperate so seamlessly, though that little pervert was most likely enjoying himself.

She also sweetly said in a coquettish voice, "You said it, so you are not allowed to take it back."

"Of course."

The two were a perfect match, their eyes meeting as smiles lingered on their lips. Outside Wanyao Pavilion, many passersby were immediately drawn to the scene, stopping to watch as discussion erupted.

After all, this was Xiao Yi Xian!

She was the goddess in the hearts of countless people in Qingshan Town, yet now she was embracing an unfamiliar young man, inseparable from him.

On the other side, the ignored Muli finally came to his senses, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

He stared fixedly at the hand Xiao Ce had around Xiao Yi Xian's waist, fire nearly shooting from his eyes as his teeth ground with a creak.

"Xiao Yi Xian," Muli said in a low, chilling voice, unable to suppress his anger, "when did you get a fiancé? How come I did not know?"

No matter how many times Xiao Yi Xian rejected him, he did not take it to heart, because he knew she treated everyone this way.

But things were different now. Some so-called fiancé had suddenly appeared and instantly shattered the balance.

Muli had long regarded Xiao Yi Xian as his private property in secret. Seeing how intimate the two were, jealousy immediately surged within him.

Xiao Yi Xian turned around from Xiao Ce's embrace, the sweetness on her face vanishing in an instant. She said coolly and distantly, "Young Commander Muli, this is my private matter. I do not believe I need to report it to you."

Muli's cheek twitched slightly as he inwardly cursed, Bitch.

He had painstakingly tried to please her, yet she had acted lofty as a fairy. But toward a fiancé who had appeared from who knew what backwater corner, she was so intimate.

With that thought, Muli could no longer be bothered to keep up his false pleasantries. He immediately revealed his true colors, shifting his gaze from Xiao Yi Xian to Xiao Ce, his eyes filled with jealousy.

"Kid, I do not care where you came from or who you are." Muli lowered his voice, his threat completely undisguised. "Qingshan Town is the territory of my Wolf Head Mercenary Group. If you are a dragon, coil up. If you are a tiger, lie down. Xiao Yi Xian is not someone you can covet. If you know what is good for you, get out of Qingshan Town immediately, lest you suffer a disaster for no reason."

A vicious glint flashed through Muli's eyes.

By nature, he should have directly crippled this pretty boy and stomped him beneath his feet before taking Xiao Yi Xian by force right in front of him.

But reason told him he could not do that.

Leaving aside Wanyao Pavilion behind Xiao Yi Xian, even the aura this pretty boy carried did not seem ordinary. Humiliating him and driving him away would be enough.

More and more passersby gathered around Wanyao Pavilion.

When they saw Xiao Yi Xian being held in a young man's arms, they immediately felt as though the sky had fallen.

This was the goddess of their dreams!

Yet when they saw Muli's furious expression, they could not help secretly shaking their heads.

As one of Qingshan Town's three major mercenary groups, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group could certainly be called the local tyrant of Qingshan Town.

And as the young commander of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group, if Muli wanted to kill the young man before him, the latter would most likely never make it out of Qingshan Town.

Although Xiao Ce carried himself with extraordinary poise, he was too young. No one believed he could be very strong. At most, he was a Dou Zhe, incapable of stirring up any waves in Qingshan Town.

Yet Xiao Yi Xian was not worried in the slightest.

Though she did not know Xiao Ce's exact strength, the Wolf Head Mercenary Group was certainly not someone they could afford to provoke.

"Xiao Ce, look, he is threatening you!"

Xiao Yi Xian smiled playfully, adding fuel to the fire.

She had long been fed up with Muli's harassment. Now that her "fiancé" was backing her up, she naturally would not let go of this chance to teach Muli a lesson.

Yet Xiao Ce did not spare Muli a single extra glance from beginning to end. He merely looked at Xiao Yi Xian with doting affection.

"If he threatens me, I will only take him for a clown."

"But if he dares harbor covetous thoughts toward my Xian'er, then he..."

"Has courted death!"
