Chapter 425: Dressing up (Second Update)_1

Just as the two were about to leave the break room, Ye Xiong had a sudden inspiration and said, “Hold on.”

“What’s wrong?” Phoenix asked curiously.

“If I’m not mistaken, Long Lan must be lurking around, monitoring our every move. She knows full well that Ye Tongtong is no match for me but still sent her to kill me. There’s only one reason for that—the plan is to prompt my transformation to kill Ye Tongtong and then take the opportunity to kill me when I suffer the genetic consequences.”

“So you want to turn her plan against her and lure her out?” Phoenix asked.

Ye Xiong nodded, “In a moment, I’ll let out a Beast Roar, then pretend to be fighting someone. Afterwards, you help me out. If Long Lan is hiding somewhere, she’ll definitely think I’ve transformed and will come out to kill me.”

“Then let’s do that,” Phoenix agreed.

...

Ye Xiong sank his energy to his Dantian and let out a roar with his inner strength through his mouth, just like the sound he made after a transformation.

Then, he vigorously smashed things inside, creating loud thuds against the wall. After the noise had carried afar, he stopped and said to Phoenix, “Come on!”

“What for?”

“Help me out!”

“Can’t you walk?”

“It seems you don’t realize how severe my genetic consequences are at the moment. Last time in the provincial city, after killing Kassoff, I had only transformed for a few seconds, but I almost couldn’t walk afterwards. If I can still walk now, do you think Long Lan would be fooled?”

Finally, Phoenix understood why this guy was so excited when he suggested the plan earlier—because he’d already premeditated it all.

“What are you waiting for, hurry up,” Ye Xiong urged.

A twitch crossed Phoenix’s lips as she walked over.

Ye Xiong clutched her neck with one hand, pressing his body close to hers.

Back during their time in Dragon Group, Phoenix had been the object of Ye Xiong’s erotic fantasies. He didn’t know how many boring nights he had spent stripping her of her clothes countless times with the power of his imagination.

Unfortunately, Phoenix, the first belle of Dragon Group, had never shown any interest in him.

Every time he saw her, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but flirt, for which he didn’t know how many times he’d been confined to the punishment cell.

“What are you doing?” Phoenix snapped, clearly annoyed.

It was bad enough that his body was pressed against hers, but why was his face moving closer?

“An accident, just a mishap,” he said.

Ye Xiong quickly moved a bit further away, not daring to act rashly again.

The last time he offended Phoenix, she gave him the cold shoulder for over a month. He vividly remembered that incident and didn’t want to make the same mistake again.

With Phoenix’s assistance, the two of them walked out.

Phoenix wasn’t tall, standing at about 1.68 meters, but her figure was very slender. The golden ratio of her body was quite appealing, making her appear slightly taller than her actual height at first glance.

Her hair was cut in a bob that reached her ears, black and lustrous, just covering half of her ear. This style made her look efficient and decisive.

Ye Xiong’s right hand rested on her shoulder; with their shoulders pressed together, he was close enough to catch a faint scent from her.

It seemed like a mix of perfume and body fragrance.

He examined Phoenix up close and noticed her skin was in great condition. Although it wasn’t as pale as the typical office manager, her complexion was healthy and flawless. The pores of her skin were very delicate, giving it the appearance of being quite elastic.

Ye Xiong stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch her cheek to see if it was as elastic as he guessed.

As soon as he reached out, Phoenix’s phoenix eyes glared at him, sending him a ‘try it and see what happens’ warning look.

“There’s some dust on your hair,” he said.

Without a change in expression, Ye Xiong reached toward her hair and lightly patted it a few times before saying nonchalantly, “Let’s go!”

Little rascal, can’t I still fool you?

Phoenix actually let him deceive her, halfway believing him, and refrained from blowing her top.

Leaving the break room behind, they walked towards the outside.

During this time, Ye Xiong had been pretending to be powerless, and his act was very convincing.

But as the two of them walked all the way down from the third floor, Long Lan still did not appear.

“Could it be that we guessed wrong, and she’s not nearby at all?” Ye Xiong whispered.

“It’s hard to say.”

“Is it because we’re not acting convincingly enough?”

Just then, Ye Xiong’s phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.

“You’re acting quite convincingly.”

It was Long Lan’s familiar voice on the other end of the call.

Ye Xiong straightened up and looked around, but he didn’t see Long Lan.

“Stop looking, you won’t be able to find me even if you keep trying.”

From her words, Ye Xiong could tell that Long Lan was hiding nearby and watching him like a hawk.

“How could you tell?” Ye Xiong asked.

“I didn’t see, I heard,” Long Lan laughed heartily, explaining, “I planted a bug on Ye Tongtong and knew everything.”

Ye Xiong hadn’t expected this move from her, and he no longer needed to pretend, so he stood straight up.

“Long Lan, what exactly do you want?”

“I want you.”

Ye Xiong: “…”

“Before, I thought Chun Peng was pretty good, but ever since I met you, I’ve realized you’re the most powerful young man I’ve ever seen. I can’t even count how many of our Beast Organization’s elites you’ve taken down. I began to realize that I might have feelings for you. I should hate you, but I just can’t seem to manage it.”

Ye Xiong: “…”

“How about this, if you join the Beast Organization, I’ll talk to my father and let bygones be bygones. Rest assured, once you join the Beast Organization, you’ll find that here, you can have everything you want, including gold, power, influence, and women,” Long Lan said with a laugh.

“The woman you’re talking about, that wouldn’t be you, would it?”

“If you like, I’m available anytime you want.”

“I’m afraid that seeing you would leave me limp.”

Long Lan: “…”

“Reaper, I’ve said what I needed to say. If you insist on being an enemy of the Beast Organization, your end will be very miserable.”

“I’m waiting.”

After hanging up the call, Ye Xiong found Phoenix staring at him, her face and neck flushed with a mix of shame and anger.

“Talking so lewdly with an enemy, do you even qualify as a man?” Phoenix angrily said.

“If you want to verify whether I’m a man, be my guest,” Ye Xiong asked with a smile.

“Get lost.”

Ye Xiong called Murong Ruyin and learned that she had already returned home with Yang Dingguo and his family, along with Yang Yueru and Su Zhentian, to help treat Yang Xinyi.

Afterward, Ye Xiong and Phoenix split up. Phoenix stayed behind to wait for Dragon Group’s people to take Ye Tongtong away, while Ye Xiong hurried to Yang Yueru’s house.

Upon returning to Yang Yueru’s house, Ye Xiong found Yang Dingguo and his wife, Yang Yueru, and Su Zhentian all present, their brows deeply furrowed, looking very worried.

The door to the room was tightly closed; Murong Ruyin was presumably inside, helping treat Yang Xinyi.

An hour later, Murong Ruyin finally came out.

“Ruyin, how did it go?” Ye Xiong asked anxiously.
