Incident At Xi Family’s Restaurant

Xi Qiye wasn't purposely ignoring them, but rather he was focusing on two powerful auras coming towards them.

Creak!

The door opened, and the two people entered the restaurant. It was a scruffy looking middle-aged man, and another was a veiled woman with shiny, silver-colored hair. The Qi of the Sovereign Realm permeated from their body.

All three women all noticed their arrival.

"I am sorry, mam, but we don't allow guests without reservation." A fearful staff at the reception desk stuttered her words out.

"What? Do you know who we are?" The middle-aged man roared at the girl, scaring the fuck outta here. Even though she was in the Qi Condensation realm, her knees went limp with just a shout.

"It's fine. Let her in." Xi Qiye, who was drinking wine while watching everything like a theatre, said lazily.

The manager had already arrived after the yell, and while he was trying to appease the middle-aged man, he heard Xi Qiye's voice. He obviously knew who Xi Qiye was and respected his words.

"Okay. Since young master says so."

"Young Master?" The middle-aged man looked at Xi Qiye and said arrogantly. "Little boy, you are the young master of this place. Very good, come here and kowtow three times and serve us food yourself. After that, if I felt like it, I will accept your apology."

"Fei Li. It's fine; it was our fault anyway. And he even allowed us to stay." The woman beside the middle-aged, who didn't look offended at all from the receptionist's words earlier, said.

Her cotton-soft tone really was something no ordinary mortal could withstand. Just a line made every man's bone in the scene go limp. Other than Xi Qiye, who was still eating.

Fei Li was under her command, so he couldn't ignore her words, but Xi Qiye's lackadaisical attitude irked him to no end.

Just when everyone calmed down, and the stiffness in the area was easing, Xi Qiye began.

"You didn't seem to hear what I said earlier correctly. I only allowed you, not him."

Fei Li's aura bursted, and the next second, he was standing next to Xi Qiye. The distance of fifty-odd feet was covered in an instant.

"Little boy, looks like you have stayed holed up in this Kingdom for so long that you forgot that there is a world outside to it. Don't take Miss's kindness for weakness; otherwise, there will be nothing left of you." The cold grizzly Qi oozing out of Fei Li's body intensified, gripping everyone's heart in fear.

The three girls had already stood up and took their weapons out, ready for a fight to break out any second.

While everyone was sweating cold bullets, Xi Qiye was finally done with his food.

The next moment, a growl from the eighteenth hell resounded in everyone's ears. "Scram."

The stifling air froze completely. Glowing globes of blood peered into Fei Li's eyes, sending a shiver through his back.

Suddenly his expression turned ugly, loud screeching from gritting his teeth in pain reverberated in the air before he spits out a mouthful of blood. His body went limp, falling on knees.

A hand gripped his shoulders, the same voice from earlier entered his ears. "Scram." His soul felt like it would split; he wasn't experiencing the difference in cultivation but in their soul strength. An attack on the soul is much more painful, cruel, and threatening than compare to physical attacks.

The veiled lady's eyes beneath the cover flashed in astonishment. She could clearly feel the pressure emitted from his soul. But more than that was the malignant Qi that surrounded him. She had met tons of people in her century-old life but never encountered someone with this much bloodlust. It even felt like he was purposely restraining. A monster like him shouldn't be in a faraway country like this.

Experiencing the blanket of death over his shoulder, Fei Li stood up and lifelessly plodded away outside.

"My offer is still available to miss. If you want, you can even eat with us." Once Fei Li's shadow disappeared, Xi Qiye suddenly transformed back into a normal, handsome looking young man.

The veiled woman slowly shook her head, "I would have liked to know more about you, but it's about time I depart. It's a pity; I don't think we will ever meet again."

"Is that so? Too bad. But contrary to miss's thought..." a small mysterious smile formed on Xi Qiye's lips, "I have a feeling we will meet very soon."

"I don't know what mister's intuition is based on, but I certainly hope that comes true." She bowed a little, and her snow-white hanfu waved gracefully along with her as she left.

The manager thanked Xi Qiye, looking at him different light. After that, the group ate the leftover in silence while the girls took sporadic compelling peeks at him.

...

"Isn't it about time you tell us what you did?" Yuxin finally couldn't hold in the curiosity after fifteen minutes of silence in the carriage.

She was tagging along with them because she would stay in Royal Castle for the next few days.

"Hmm..." Xi Qiye rubbed his imaginary stubble while looking up, deep in thinking. The girls held their breath. After a second, he smiled brightly. "Nope. Call it a man's secret."

"You... why are you so..."

"Handsome? Thank you."

"No!"

"Anyway, after stuffing my face with those fatty things that YOU trios ordered and left, I am getting sleepy again. Ms. Crown Princess, I will be taking my wife you have been hogging this entire day. Xueli, come here."

"Yunxi, and what do you do want from her?" She grabbed Xueli tightly.

"Xueli." He said simply.

Chu Xueli sighed after a pause and sat beside him elegantly, leaving bummed out, wronged Yunxi.

He slid on the seat, putting his head on Xueli's thighs and his legs on Yawen's. "Perfect." The carriage was big enough, and he was finally taking its full advantage. Xueli face was stiff, yet a ripple of sweetness surfaced in the depths of her golden eyes.

"Honestly, Ms. Crown Princess, I still don't understand how are you best friends with Xueli? One is so ladylike while the other is... didn't you learn anything?"

Yunxi lips twitched fiercely, she seems to reach the limits of what she could endure.

"Then, aren't you lucky then that Xueli is your wife?"

"Oh that I truly am. But I would have been more happy if both of you were to be my wives."

A faint unnatural pinkness spread on Yunxi's cheeks. She harrumphed angrily, "Humph. Dream on."

"That I will do." Xi Qiye closed his eyes, and his breathing turned rhythmic in another ten seconds.

"How fast!" Yunxi studied Xi Qiye's face, then promptly looked outside in a hurry, seemingly thinking about something.
