Chapter 505: Longing and a Kiss Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter
An hour later, Maisa, his legs broken, scurried away with some troops. Although in charge, he hadn’t dared order an attack without clearance; he’d only meant to threaten and apply pressure. He hadn’t expected CEO Ye to be so decisive, killing almost everyone without hesitation. He’d intended to assert dominance by killing one man, but all his men were killed instead. He’d be dead too, if he weren’t needed to deliver a message.
This wasn’t what frightened him most. He was most shocked by how CEO Ye had killed his men—he hadn’t even seen it happen. It was too eerie and frightening. He had to report this to the president.
Yu Miaodan remained shocked for a long time. Although she knew Ye Mo was strong, she hadn’t expected him to be this strong. He’d merely waved his hand, and more than ten men were dead in the blink of an eye. He was much stronger than when she first met him.
Of course, she wasn’t most shocked by his strength, but by his audacity in killing Lu Se’s soldiers.
“CEO Ye, this will infuriate Lu Se. Won’t they start a war with Flowing Snake? We have no fighting power,” Yu Miaodan finally spoke. No matter how powerful Ye Mo was, what if their entire army came, or if they launched airstrikes?
Ye Mo smiled. While war was possible, he wouldn’t let it happen. He could kill the invading army, but that wasn’t his goal. Even if he killed, he’d target the general or highest-ranking officer in Lu Se.
“Don’t worry, I’ll deal with Flowing Snake. Sister Yuehua will need large amounts of materials, so you and CEO Zang should cooperate with her.” Ye Mo decided to go to Lu Se himself.
It was best to resolve this early. He truly didn’t want war; it would benefit Flowing Snake nothing. This matter was best settled without alarming international organizations. Luo Yue was just a company; it wasn’t smart for a company to oppose a country. Even if he were powerful enough to reach foundation establishment, that would be fine, but Ye Mo wasn’t that strong yet.
Ye Mo planned to visit Lu Se at night, so he needed to speak with Ning Qingxue beforehand. He didn’t even have time for intimacy.
As Ye Mo returned, Ning Qingxue was waiting.
“Qingxue—” Ye Mo had barely entered when Ning Qingxue embraced him, silencing his words with a kiss.
Ye Mo hugged Ning Qingxue tightly. They’d been apart more than together. Ning Qingxue couldn’t resist her longing. Ye Mo lost himself in her softness and warmth, a power that made her irresistible. The kiss lasted half an hour before they gasped for breath and looked at each other.
“You have to go somewhere again?” Ning Qingxue didn’t want to let him go. She didn’t want him always running around; she wanted him with her. Although she wanted a peaceful home, if it meant Ye Mo had to work this hard, she’d rather not have it.
“Sorry, Qingxue—” Ye Mo felt guilty about spending so little time with her and about his affair with Song Yangzhu.
Ning Qingxue blocked his lips with her finger. “I just want to be with you. If building a city is too hard, then forget it.”
“No, building a city isn’t hard for me, and I want a place of my own. I can’t just bring you deep into the mountains like the hidden sects, so we need to build a city,” Ye Mo said firmly.
Ning Qingxue didn’t argue. She nodded.
“In fact, I’m sorry about something else. The other day, I…” Ye Mo hesitated, but told her about Song Yangzhu.
“Where is she now?” Unexpectedly, Ning Qingxue asked.
Ye Mo shook his head. “She probably left; I don’t think she’ll come again. I just feel guilty toward you and Luo Ying.”
“Mhm…” Ning Qingxue didn’t press further and simply lay in Ye Mo’s arms. Ye Mo didn’t know if she was angry and didn’t know what to say.
After a while, as darkness fell, Ning Qingxue’s soft voice sounded, “I want to stay with you tonight.”
Ye Mo felt warmth in his heart. He understood. She was conservative; for her to say this meant he meant everything to her. She hadn’t even mentioned Song Yangzhu.
Ye Mo lifted her face and kissed her again. “Qingxue, I said I’d marry you gloriously. If I can’t find Luo Ying, then when we build Luo Yue City, it’ll be our moment.”
“Mhm…”
There was something Ye Mo didn’t say. He wanted intimacy with Ning Qingxue, but he also wished to find resources so everyone could reach foundation establishment. But that was very hard. Out of 1000 cultivators in Luo Ying, only one reached foundation establishment. Ning Qingxue was talented, but if he took her virginity before she reached foundation establishment, it would be harder for her. He didn’t want to rob her of that opportunity. But he didn’t want to burden her yet.
“By the way, did those mutants come for you again?” Ye Mo remembered his question.
“No, but one went to Yu state, and Yi Fei found out, but didn’t capture him,” Ning Qingxue said.
Ye Mo nodded. This wouldn’t end, but since he’d returned, he didn’t need to worry.
After dinner with Ning Qingxue, Ye Mo left Flowing Snake. He went to the border and saw the army showed no signs of leaving. He killed the scouts he encountered without hesitation.
…
Security was extremely tight outside the president’s office. The atmosphere was tense. Marshal Mohanse, Secretary of National Defense Youjin, and Maisa were present.
Youjin, short and with bulging eyes, stared at Maisa. “Is what you said true? He really killed twelve of our troops in less than a second and said he’d be coming tonight?”
Maisa was sweating. “I didn’t lie. He really is that sort of person. I suspect he’s a wizard. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it’s true.”
“Hmph, he wants us to retreat within 24 hours? Although our country is small, no mere merchant can abuse us. We won’t retreat; tomorrow, we move in! Secretary You, do you believe this wizard bullsh*t?” the tall, bulky Mohanse commented.
He was annoyed at Youjin’s questioning. It was just a strong fighter. He’d heard of many strong fighters in China, but could they face an army?
President Hai Modan frowned. “That President Ye probably came from China…”
Youjin nodded. “That’s right, we’re still investigating.”
