Li Se, unaware that someone had entered his room, walked towards the bathroom. Through the bathroom door, he could see the graceful figure inside. He couldn't help but swallow, then cautiously tried to open the door. He discovered it wasn't locked.
It made sense, after all. This was Tang Xi's room, and they were at the Tang family's estate. Who would dare to barge into this room?
As Li Se stepped into the bathroom, he was greeted by a faint fragrance. Following it, he saw the well-proportioned Tang Xi. It wasn't the first time he had seen this exquisite body. Back in Qingyun City, he had seen her once after scaling a wall. Seeing her again now, he felt somewhat intoxicated.
"Ah…" Tang Xi, noticing Li Se, let out a sharp scream.
Fortunately, Li Se was quick. He lunged forward and covered her mouth. Feeling the soft, tender skin beneath his hand, he almost couldn't resist pushing Tang Xi down. However, he managed to suppress the burning desire in his abdomen and quickly said, "Don't scream, it's me!"
Tang Xi's eyes widened, and anger surged within her. She broke free from Li Se's hand and said indignantly, "Why are you here?"
"Didn't you ask me to come?" Li Se blinked.
Tang Xi nearly kicked the man to death. She pointed towards the door and ordered, "Get out!"
About five minutes later, Tang Xi emerged, dressed. Her hair was still slightly damp from her shower, making her look like a water lily emerging from the water.
"Xi Xi, you're truly beautiful!" Li Se couldn't help himself. He walked up to Tang Xi and embraced her. The two soon began to kiss.
Originally, Tang Xi had come out to confront him, but she inexplicably ended up kissing Li Se. After the kiss, she melted into Li Se's arms, completely weak.
Li Se's hands were also quite unruly, having roamed all over Tang Xi's body. This made Tang Xi let out a soft moan, her voice filled with temptation, easily igniting a beastly desire.
"Don't…" Just as Li Se was about to proceed further, he was stopped by Tang Xi.
Li Se looked crestfallen, but he respected Tang Xi's choice. Reluctantly, he released her and said, "Xi Xi, at this point, you're actually asking me to stop? I'm suffering."
"Hmph, you have two beautiful wives at home, don't pretend with me!" Tang Xi snorted. Her pretty face was flushed crimson from what had just happened. Thinking about Li Se sneaking into her house in the middle of the night, she angrily asked, "Why did you come to my house in the middle of the night?"
"Didn't you ask me to come?" Li Se replied innocently.
Tang Xi knew it was useless to question him; he would never admit it. She snorted, "I'm not just any woman for you. If you want my body, it's simple: marry me. If you don't marry me, you'll never have my body in this lifetime. And…"
At this point, her expression became a little downcast. She continued, "Ye Bowen's marriage is hard to refuse. The Tang family can't possibly break off the engagement. If they do, it will only cause the Ye family to lose all face!"
Li Se said, "Ye Bowen wants to marry you? Let him dream. Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to lay a hand on you!"
A flicker of worry crossed Tang Xi's eyes. Then, as if remembering something, she reached out and twisted Li Se's ear, asking angrily, "Explain, what's going on between you and Tang Rou?"
"This is bad!"
Li Se inwardly cursed. Had Tang Xi found out about what happened that night? That damned Tang Rou, her mouth was indeed unreliable. It was highly likely she had come specifically to provoke Tang Xi.
However, in such situations, remaining calm was key. He had to deny it vehemently!
"Xi Xi, what are you talking about? I have no relationship with her," Li Se said with feigned seriousness, though he felt extremely guilty.
It was true that he and Tang Rou had nothing, but they had been intimate, and that couldn't be denied.
"Still denying it? Didn't I see you two looking quite intimate at the reception earlier?" Tang Xi snorted.
Hearing this, Li Se breathed a sigh of relief. So that's what she was talking about. He said helplessly, "Tang Rou has been harassing me lately, but I have no interest in her. That woman is a bit twisted."
"Is there really nothing?" Tang Xi sounded doubtful.
"Absolutely nothing!" Li Se answered truthfully.
"I hope that's the case!" Tang Xi snorted.
While Li Se and Tang Xi were talking late into the night, across town, at the Capital International Airport…
Many members of the Ye family were present, led by Ye Bowen. Chen Bao was by his side.
"Chen Bao, how much longer until your master arrives?" Ye Bowen inquired.
"About ten more minutes," Chen Bao replied, glancing at his watch.
"If Master Xiang Ding Tian makes a move, then this Li Se is destined to lose!" Ye Bowen said excitedly.
"Naturally!" Chen Bao was also full of confidence. "My master is a Grandmaster-level expert. While Li Se's strength is considerable, he hasn't reached the level of founding a sect!"
Ye Bowen's eyes were sharp. "As long as Master Xiang Ding Tian makes a move, I want this Li Se dead!"
The hatred of a stolen wife, true hatred for a stolen wife. He had been humiliated by Li Se several times. Ye Bowen was determined to repay all these grievances. The reason Xiang Ding Tian would act this time wasn't just because of Chen Bao; Ye Zhizuan had also intervened.
Therefore, Xiang Ding Tian was bound to make a move. Li Se would surely die in this battle!
About ten minutes later, an elder around sixty years old emerged. He was tall and straight, with light footsteps, giving an impression of agility like a flying swallow. As soon as he appeared, he exuded an aura of power.
Even at sixty, he looked incredibly formidable. The muscles on his body were also visually striking!
Only his long white hair suggested that this elder had aged, otherwise, it would be difficult for anyone to tell that he was sixty years old.
This person was none other than Xiang Ding Tian.
"Chen Bao!" Xiang Ding Tian looked at Chen Bao. "I heard you were defeated by someone?"
"Master, yes!" Chen Bao said with a hint of shame. He then immediately introduced Ye Bowen to Xiang Ding Tian.
"Oh, you are Young Master Ye?" Xiang Ding Tian glanced at Ye Bowen and nodded. "You do have some foundation in martial arts."
"Thank you for your praise, Grandmaster Xiang," Ye Bowen said, cupping his hands. "I've invited Grandmaster Xiang here this time mainly to ask you to make a move!"
"Master, please make your move!" Chen Bao seconded.
Xiang Ding Tian nodded slightly. His demeanor suddenly shifted, and the stone slabs beneath his feet cracked. This made Ye Bowen and the others gasp. Truly a master of his generation!
"Issue the challenge tomorrow. I want to duel at the peak of the Forbidden City!"
