The Old Fortune Teller shook his head helplessly.
“Since you don’t believe me, young friend, then just pretend this old Taoist never cast this divination!”
The Old Fortune Teller immediately started packing up his things to leave.
But Ye Chen blocked his path.
“You’re not going anywhere. Today, I’ll cast a divination for you too: you have a calamity of bloodshed!”
The Old Fortune Teller naturally understood what the other party meant; he was about to get beaten up.
A joke—was he some random nobody who could just be beaten up?
The old coot retorted defiantly, “You’re the one who has it!”
Ye Chen: “You have it!”
Old Coot: “You have it, ptooey~, you have it!”
“Dammit, you spat on me!”
Ye Chen was so furious he swung a punch right at him, determined to make the man’s bloodshed calamity a reality.
To everyone’s surprise, the Old Fortune Teller dodged it instantly, then focused his energy: “Ahem… ptooey~”
A glob of old phlegm landed on Ye Chen’s clothes. The Old Fortune Teller turned tail and ran.
As he ran, he cursed, “I’ll throw in an extra line for you: A branch, who sent it? In melancholy, I lost Meng Xi.”
“Youngster who doesn’t know the rules, disrespecting your elders. When you become a ghost, you’ll eat shit! You’ll definitely regret this!”
“Dammit… this old coot, spitting on me, and it’s so yellow!” Ye Chen took out a tissue with disgust and wiped at the stain.
Ye Chen was also fuming. Dammit, he’d forgotten to cast a divination for himself before leaving the house today.
To encounter this old coot, it really soured his mood.
After cursing a few more times, Ye Chen continued onward.
But at that moment, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from one of his subordinates.
“What is it?”
“Dragon Lord, the forces around the Dragon Gate have assembled!”
Ye Chen smiled. “Good. Get everything in place. I’ll head over this evening!”
Ye Chen knew well that many in the Dragon Gate weren’t fully convinced by him as the new Dragon Lord.
But to truly win them over, he had to appear in person and suppress them, make them submit!
“Rest assured, Dragon Lord. Your subordinate has prepared everything. We await the Dragon Lord at the West Tower in the city’s west end!”
Ye Chen replied with an affirmation, then hung up the phone.
He had originally planned to go and deal with those two pieces of trash, Liu Tiantian and Wu Kai.
But after hesitating, he didn’t go. Instead, he headed straight for the Cloud Dream Tech.
The woman he had met the night before, Yun Mengxi—Ye Chen had cast a divination for her. She was extremely compatible with him.
Whether it was the Eight Characters, the Chinese Zodiac, or even the stars!
Every aspect revealed they were a match made in heaven.
It also revealed that a union with her would bring smooth sailing in all things, a hidden dragon nirvana rushing to the clouds.
A woman like this had to be his.
Besides, Ye Chen had truly fallen for Yun Mengxi at first sight the previous night, deeply in love.
It was no exaggeration to say that in his dreams last night, they had even… hehe!
……
On the other side, Bai Jinghong did not go to the Cloud Dream Tech. Instead, he went directly to Yun Mengxi’s home.
Based on the events of the previous night, it was highly likely Yun Mengxi wouldn’t go to the company today.
When the car reached the area near her parents’ home, sure enough, through the glass, he saw Yun Mengxi limping around the living room.
Bai Jinghong parked the car properly and waved toward the living room.
Coincidentally, Yun Mengxi also saw Bai Jinghong.
She hurriedly made her way toward the villa’s entrance.
Bai Jinghong also walked inside.
Soon, the villa’s main door opened.
Yun Mengxi was somewhat shy, but still had a smile on her face. “Young Master… Young Master Bai, what brings you here?”
Bai Jinghong smiled. “I just came to see you. How’s your foot?”
“Mm, it’s fine. I still have to thank Young Master Bai for his help. Please, come in!”
Yun Mengxi quickly stepped aside and invited Bai Jinghong into the villa.
Bai Jinghong looked around and found that there was no one else in the villa.
Yun Mengxi’s parents were probably both out.
“Young Master Bai, have a seat for a moment. I’ll go get you some water.”
Walking was very inconvenient for Yun Mengxi, so she moved somewhat slowly.
Bai Jinghong quickly pulled her back. “I’ll get it myself. You sit down!”
Saying this, Bai Jinghong acted very casually, directly lifting Yun Mengxi into a princess carry.
“Ah~”
Yun Mengxi let out a startled cry, her face turning red in an instant.
When had she ever been this intimate with a man?
Yesterday, when Bai Jinghong did it, it was an emergency; she couldn’t worry about too much then.
But now…
After Bai Jinghong placed her on the sofa, he simply made himself at home, pouring two glasses of honey water.
He even handed one to Yun Mengxi.
Yun Mengxi kept her head down, not daring to look at Bai Jinghong.
“Take it. This is your home. Are you being polite with me?” Bai Jinghong laughed.
Yun Mengxi was also amused by Bai Jinghong. Right, this was her own home!
And then, Bai Jinghong noticed a faint trace of blood seeping out near where her foot rested.
“Ah, look at you. Your foot isn’t healed yet, why do you keep walking around?”
“Huh?” Yun Mengxi was startled and looked down to check.
Sure enough, the gauze on the sole of her foot had blood seeping through again.
She felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Bai Jinghong glanced around and saw that the medical kit was still in the living room.
So he directly grabbed it and crouched down beside Yun Mengxi.
While Yun Mengxi was still in a daze, Bai Jinghong had already opened the kit and taken out the gauze and other supplies, laying them out.
“Lift your foot!”
He said to her.
“Huh?” Yun Mengxi was stunned again.
Bai Jinghong smiled. “If you don’t lift your foot, how am I supposed to treat the wound on the sole?”
“You… you’re going to personally…”
Yun Mengxi hurriedly waved her hands. “No, no, I’ll do it myself!”
Bai Jinghong glanced at her. “The rubbed-raw spot is on the sole of your foot, isn’t it rather inconvenient to handle yourself?”
“Did you just do it casually by yourself yesterday?”
“Or do you find me very repulsive? Afraid my hands, a stinky man’s hands, might touch your body?”
“No, no, how could that be?” Yun Mengxi quickly waved her hands again, but then felt her reply wasn’t quite right.
Her face flushed again, brilliant like autumn leaves, dazzling like flowing rosy clouds, very alluring.
The words were already spoken, so she could only agree. She hurriedly lifted her foot slowly, as if resigning herself.
After lifting her foot, she suddenly realized her house dress had also ridden up, like an air vent.
Bai Jinghong was crouching in front of her. Wouldn’t a single glance go right up her skirt to see her panties?
Thinking this, she quickly pressed her legs tightly together.
Bai Jinghong saw all of this. Her shyness instead gave Bai Jinghong an unparalleled sense of achievement.
And an even greater desire to conquer!
Yun Mengxi was a goddess-level beauty in the first place.
And Bai Jinghong was an old lecher.
What he wanted to do now was naturally conquer!
Bai Jinghong reached out and placed Yun Mengxi’s foot on his knee.
They say a man’s head and a woman’s foot can only be looked at, not touched. A woman’s foot is truly a sensitive place.
As soon as Bai Jinghong’s hand touched Yun Mengxi’s foot, he felt her body involuntarily tremble.
He looked up and saw Yun Mengxi’s face had become even redder, her gaze flickering, looking very nervous.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Jinghong asked.
“N… nothing!” Yun Mengxi turned her head away.
It was impossible that it was really nothing. Having her foot held by Bai Jinghong, her body felt numb and tingly.
But she naturally couldn’t let Bai Jinghong know these reactions of hers, or she’d truly die of embarrassment.
Bai Jinghong didn’t pursue the question. After unwrapping the gauze, he looked down at that perfectly delicate and dainty foot, a slight admiration in his gaze.
Then he carefully disinfected it again and wrapped it with fresh gauze.
“Is it tight?” Bai Jinghong asked.
“I’m not nervous!” Yun Mengxi quickly shook her head.
Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but laugh. “I was asking if the gauze is wrapped too tight. Is it uncomfortable?”
“N… no!” Yun Mengxi was greatly embarrassed, truly wishing she could disappear.
Bai Jinghong then picked up her other foot and examined it. This foot was even more badly chafed.
He put on a feigned look of regret and sighed. “You really ran a long way yesterday.”
Yun Mengxi nodded and murmured an “Mm” in agreement.
She also noticed Bai Jinghong’s pained expression. Her heart couldn’t help but tremble. This young master Bai Jinghong felt sorry for her?
How could he feel sorry for her?
For a moment, her thoughts trembled. She didn’t even know what kind of feeling this was.
Bai Jinghong disinfected the chafed spots on this foot too, wrapped it with gauze, and then let out a long breath.
“Alright, there, it’s done!”
“Thank you!” Yun Mengxi quickly said.
Bai Jinghong swept his gaze over her long, shapely legs pressed tightly together and gave a faint smile. “Are you that nervous? Pressing your legs together so tightly, like a virgin!”
“I’m not lecherous enough to sneak a peek at your panties while I’m at it!”
“I originally am…”
Yun Mengxi subconsciously started to respond, but then her face turned bright red, and she hastily shut her mouth.
Bai Jinghong smiled. “Don’t be nervous, I was just joking!”
