Bao Bao, Let Go, Okay? (Request Recommendation Tickets)

In an alley of Heavenly Water Holy City, Ye Tianyi ran all the way here before finally stopping, gulping down air.

Jackpot!

An Earth Grade One-Star Martial Skill. The Heavenly Showoff System's Ultimate Task had been completed beyond the required standard, and the Task Reward would be doubled. But what could be doubled? His realm was originally going to rise by five stages; doubled, that made ten stages—a whole Major Realm. Awesome! Even a genius would need several years of cultivation to cross from the Qi Foundation Realm to the Enlightened Aperture Realm, right?

The second Task Reward, Heaven-Defying Cultivation Talent... if that got doubled too...

What would doubling heaven-defying even be?

Could it be...

Aotuman?

Ye Tianyi's eyes suddenly lit up.

The First Mall had opened. How could that be doubled? Could it open two malls or something?

But he would not find that out until an hour later. Right now...

Bai Hanxue appeared beside Ye Tianyi.

Deep in her eyes were disgust and fury.

Ye Tianyi knew he would have to face this sooner or later, but there had been no other way for the task.

"Sorry. Let me apologize to you."

Ye Tianyi looked at her and said.

Ye Tianyi was scum, but the Ye Tianyi who had come from Earth truly was not. What happened today would definitely affect Bai Hanxue, and he knew it. Perhaps she wanted to kill him right now. He had to protect his life.

"Temporarily cancel the Contrary Card's effect."

Ye Tianyi said to the system in his mind.

Why temporarily?

What if she really wanted to kill him? Then he could activate it again—at least make sure he did not die first. Besides, it lasted an hour anyway.

"I really feel it wasn't worth it for Xian'er!"

Bai Hanxue spoke, then froze in shock. She had actually said what was in her heart! Not the opposite! She was back to normal!

Ye Tianyi rubbed the tip of his nose and nodded.

"Mm, I agree."

Bai Hanxue instantly appeared before Ye Tianyi, seized him by the throat, and slammed him against the wall. Her breathtaking face was filled with anger, while her eyes brimmed with disgust and contempt.

"I won't kill you today, but I'll break one of your arms to vent the rage in my heart!"

If not for Ye Xian'er, she truly would have killed Ye Tianyi. Breaking his arm did not mean cutting it off—just fracturing it so he could taste some suffering.

"Hey, I'll give you three seconds to let me go. Otherwise, do you believe you'll turn back into how you were just now?" Ye Tianyi said without the slightest panic.

Bai Hanxue's delicate brows furrowed sharply, but she did not let go.

She did not believe him.

"Three, two, one!"

Ye Tianyi curled his lips into a smile and activated the Contrary Card again.

"Bao Bao, could you let go?"

Ye Tianyi said with a smile.

Don't let go...

Then she released him.

Bai Hanxue: "..."

What exactly was wrong with her?!

Ye Tianyi smiled, lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and took a long drag.

"Curious about what I did to you? Don't you see me as scum? I am scum, indeed. Otherwise, why would I use this trick on you?" Ye Tianyi took another puff, looked at her, and said, "If I told you to take off your clothes, you'd have to strip completely naked right now. Do you believe that?"

Bai Hanxue panicked. Truly panicked.

Ye Tianyi laughed and continued, "Forget it. I won't take advantage of you. Just remember this—if there is a next time, I won't let you off so easily."

With that, Ye Tianyi walked away.

"Deactivate the Contrary Card."

What shocked Ye Tianyi was that the Contrary Card lasted an hour, but once deactivated, the remaining time stopped. There were still forty-three minutes left. In other words, no matter what day it was in the future, he could activate it on her anytime, anywhere... That was a little perverse!

Bai Hanxue stood there, watching Ye Tianyi's retreating figure as she clenched her teeth.

Beast!

She had to figure out what was wrong with her, what Ye Tianyi had done to make her become like this. Yet she seemed to have grasped a clue: everything she said and did was the opposite of what she truly thought. Then what if she reversed it?

It was only a guess, and she did not dare be certain. She truly did not know what Ye Tianyi might do to her. He was capable of anything. That night, he had even wanted to...

At that moment, Lin Changtian ran over, followed by a group of lovestruck idiots who had charged out of Heavenly Water Academy intending to kill Ye Tianyi.

"Hanxue, are you all right?"

Lin Changtian ran up to Bai Hanxue and asked worriedly.

Bai Hanxue was not in a good state of mind and did not answer.

After two seconds, she came back to herself, her cold beautiful eyes sweeping over the crowd.

Lin Changtian was unwilling to accept it. Truly unwilling. Why? He wanted to know.

"Hanxue, do you really like that trash Ye Tianyi?"

Lin Changtian looked at Bai Hanxue and asked.

Bai Hanxue's delicate brows knitted together.

She could not be bothered to answer, but clearing things up with a single sentence was no big deal.

If she answered that she did not like him, she should end up saying that she did. So she should say she liked him, and then she would say she did not...

Bai Hanxue considered it, then said flatly, "I like him."

Bai Hanxue: ???

Could the effect have worn off again?

She truly needed to go back and calm down.

Everyone: "..."

"Wuwuwu... The goddess admitted it. My youth is over!"

"Quick-acting heart pills! Hurry, give me quick-acting heart pills..."

"..."

"Why?! What does he have that makes him worthy of your affection? He's a notorious scum and good-for-nothing! Forget me—can he even compare to anyone here?"

Lin Changtian's voice rose several notches as he struggled to control his emotions.

He truly could not understand.

Bai Hanxue took a deep breath.

She could not be bothered to explain.

Then she turned around and left without saying a word.

Lin Changtian clenched his fists tightly.

He could not understand it, but he no longer needed to. He knew everything now!

"Ye Tianyi! You dare steal a woman from me? You should take a look at your own weight first! Your Ye Family is no longer one of the Four Great Families. Without that sister of yours, you're not worth shit! Even with Ye Xian'er, you're renting your house now! I'll make you regret this!"

Lin Changtian roared viciously in his heart.

"Young Master Ye, come play..."

Ye Tianyi was walking down a street in Heavenly Water Holy City when he passed the entrance of a rather nicely decorated foot massage parlor. A woman in a White Jacket, her long legs exposed, sat at the entrance and called out to him.

This was a place Ye Tianyi frequented. Of course, it was the former Ye Tianyi who frequented it. Whether it was legitimate or not went without saying.

There was good reason to call him scum. The Ye Family had collapsed, its funds had shattered. Though they were all dead, they had left behind several hundred million in external debts. In a small-to-mid-sized empire like the Heavenly Water Empire, several hundred million was roughly one-tenth of a Top Family's assets. That was no small sum, and Ye Xian'er had to repay it too. She had truly worked hard to pay off the debt. Aside from staying with Ye Tianyi, she spent most of her remaining time in the Demon Beast Domain, killing Demon Beasts for Demon Crystals or gathering precious crystals and Spirit Herbs to sell for money, all while having to live...

Even so, she still gave Ye Tianyi some spending money, while Ye Tianyi put on airs as if he were loaded...

Thinking of this from the memories, Ye Tianyi could not help but sigh.

"Sister Hong, let me Ask you something."

Ye Tianyi then walked over.
