Awoo—
The Walker, sliced in half, let out a death rattle. As blood sprayed, a gray light suddenly shot out from his body.
The gray light condensed into the shadow of a huge wolf, roaring at Ye Kunlun with immense fury!
Ye Kunlun's gaze sharpened. He hadn't expected that after he killed the Walker, the latter's spiritual energy and soul would remain unscattered!
He knew that the sword strike he just delivered was enough to scatter the souls of even those in the Foundation Building realm.
"So you're thick-skinned and your soul is different from humans!"
Ye Kunlun stared at the roaring Walker and said, "Then here's another strike!"
Whoosh—
Before Ye Kunlun could draw his sword, the Walker's soul, after its roar, seemed to be summoned by some power and vanished from his sight.
Just now, Ye Kunlun had sensed that mysterious summoning power, and it was extremely far away.
Ye Kunlun pursued the mysterious power but it vanished without a trace after a few breaths.
The Walker's soul disappeared along with it.
Ye Kunlun raised an eyebrow. "It seems the ancient werewolf tribe is more mysterious than I imagined."
The werewolf tribe was the first Western race Ye Kunlun had encountered.
Besides werewolves, the West also had mysterious races like the bloodline descendants, summoners, and witches.
Compared to forces like the Holy See and the Knights Templar in the Western human world, these mysterious races always hid in the darkness.
Ye Kunlun retracted the coldness in his eyes. If the werewolves didn't know their place, he wouldn't mind going to their homeland and wiping them out.
Qian Rou Rou looked at the huge corpse lying on the ground, her face a little pale.
"Mr. Ye..."
Qian Rou Rou called out to Ye Kunlun. The bloody corpse and the smell of blood in the air made her stomach churn.
As soon as she spoke, Qian Rou Rou turned aside and vomited.
Fortunately, she hadn't eaten much breakfast, just like Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun waved his hand, directly burning Walker's corpse to ashes.
A few minutes later, Qian Rou Rou's complexion improved slightly. "Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry to have delayed you."
Qian Rou Rou looked at Ye Kunlun apologetically.
In her opinion, if she hadn't come to find Ye Kunlun early in the morning.
Ye Kunlun wouldn't have wasted time being held hostage by the Walker because of her!
"How are you feeling?" Ye Kunlun asked.
Qian Rou Rou nodded and replied, "Much better."
"It's not far, let's walk. Your car..."
Ye Kunlun checked his phone. It was still three kilometers to Huichun Tang.
"It's okay, I'll have someone come pick it up."
Qian Rou Rou quickly interjected. At this moment, she preferred to stay by Ye Kunlun's side.
After all, what had just happened left her feeling a bit shaken. Only by staying by Ye Kunlun's side did she feel safe.
Ye Kunlun walked slowly with his hands in his pockets.
Qian Rou Rou kept pace with him.
The pedestrians and vehicles on the road gradually increased.
Qian Rou Rou felt a sweet sensation in her heart. This chance to be alone with Ye Kunlun made her feel like they were a couple taking a morning stroll.
However, Ye Kunlun's next words shattered her fantasy.
"Miss Qian, you and I are not suitable." Ye Kunlun saw through Qian Rou Rou's thoughts.
For an ordinary girl like Qian Rou Rou, his life was unstable and couldn't provide her with a stable life.
Ye Kunlun's abrupt words made Qian Rou Rou suddenly nervous.
But Qian Rou Rou was the daughter of China's richest man after all. Despite her nervousness, she summoned the courage to confess to Ye Kunlun, "Mr. Ye, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to stay by your side."
Ye Kunlun sighed lightly. "I can't give you a stable life. You saw the scene just now; it's quite normal for me."
"You are a good girl, but I'm not suitable for you."
Ye Kunlun felt he had to make things clear and didn't want Qian Rou Rou to fixate her affections on him.
Qian Rou Rou was different from Yun Chuxue.
When he met Yun Chuxue and they ended up in bed, they were strangers, just looking for immediate pleasure.
What happened later was a natural development.
But Qian Rou Rou was different. They had known each other for a long time.
Ye Kunlun had no romantic feelings for Qian Rou Rou.
Facing Ye Kunlun's rejection, Qian Rou Rou's face turned pale.
Since childhood, as a pampered daughter, countless excellent men had vied for her, even fighting amongst themselves.
Yet, no man had ever made her heart flutter.
Until she met Ye Kunlun. She couldn't help but want to approach him, understand him, and become his woman.
"I... I understand."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye."
Qian Rou Rou met Ye Kunlun's gaze, her voice trembling slightly, "I was too presumptuous."
Ye Kunlun sighed lightly and said to Qian Rou Rou, "Since there's nothing else, you should go home first."
Ye Kunlun had already noticed several people following them from the shadows.
They appeared shortly after Qian Rou Rou called someone to pick up her car, clearly bodyguards sent by the Qian family.
After speaking, Ye Kunlun disappeared from Qian Rou Rou's sight.
Qian Rou Rou stood there stunned.
Four bodyguards stepped forward, and the leader asked, "Miss, are you alright?"
Qian Rou Rou came back to her senses and shook her head. "Yes, I'm fine."
She gazed in the direction Ye Kunlun had disappeared and murmured, "Mr. Ye, until we meet again..."
She shook her head self-deprecatingly, recalling the arrangements made by Qian Dongchao, and murmured, "Perhaps we won't meet again."
—
Ye Kunlun knew Qian Rou Rou had a reason for seeking him out, but since she chose not to say it, she had her reasons.
Ye Kunlun didn't press further.
After parting ways with Qian Rou Rou, Ye Kunlun appeared at Huichun Tang.
He had initially thought Huichun Tang was a pharmacy, but it turned out to be a courtyard house.
The black gate was tightly shut, clearly not open yet, but a fresh herbal fragrance drifted out, invigorating the senses.
Ye Kunlun walked forward, intending to knock, but to his surprise, the door opened with a gentle push.
Thinking about it, Ye Kunlun walked straight in.
The courtyard was large, with medicinal gardens on both sides, containing dozens of common medicinal herbs, all within three years of age.
Ye Kunlun became a little interested in the owner of the courtyard.
To have such a large courtyard in Beijing, a place where every inch of land was precious, and to use it for growing medicinal herbs, the owner must be an interesting person.
Passing through the medicinal gardens, Ye Kunlun saw a middle-aged man practicing a set of health-improving exercises, the "Five Animal Frolics."
The man noticed Ye Kunlun but didn't stop his movements.
Ye Kunlun didn't disturb him, watching him intently.
The man's Five Animal Frolics were perfected, flowing smoothly with a trace of spiritual energy from heaven and earth.
However, Ye Kunlun realized the man was not a cultivator.
A few minutes later, the man finished his movements and his gaze fell upon Ye Kunlun. He asked loudly, "Young man, are you here to buy medicinal herbs?"
