My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 350

Chen Baixiang looked over, her eyes instantly lighting up. When it came to handsomeness, Chuyun Xiong and Yang Qi were on par with each other. But in terms of presence and status, Yang Qi was leagues behind Chuyun Xiong.

Grandpa, oh grandpa, I admit I was wrong about that Yang Qi. But the one you should be currying favor with is Chuyun Xiong, not him. It seems you really are getting senile. I'll be the one to befriend Chuyun Xiong in your place.

A surge of pride, tinged with a romantic fantasy, welled up in Chen Baixiang's heart. She even began to imagine marrying Chuyun Xiong. What a prestigious match that would be! In comparison, what would Yang Qi amount to? And Lei Yingying? What would she be?

"So handsome!"

"Exactly, and he's from a major family too!"

"I heard he has Western heritage as well!"

"He's truly so noble!"

Tian Lili and the other girls were almost completely captivated.

At this moment, Zhang Gong gently nudged Chen Baixiang, and together they approached Chuyun Xiong.

"Young Master Chuyun!" Zhang Gong bowed deeply. "Long time no see. You're as dashing as ever."

"Teacher Zhang! You're looking great as well." Chuyun Xiong also bowed slightly, but his eyes shifted to Chen Baixiang beside him. "And who might this beautiful lady be?"

"Oh, my name is Chen Baixiang, granddaughter of Chen Guo, the vice president of the Jingnan Prefecture National Medicine Association! I'm so honored to meet you!" Chen Baixiang was so excited she was nearly incoherent, her hands trembling uncontrollably.

Chuyun Xiong only needed a brief glance to know she was interested in him. I've seen plenty of women like her. And toyed with them, too. Chen Baixiang is reasonably attractive, and she's the granddaughter of the National Medicine Association's vice president. I could have some fun with her.

With this in mind, he smiled and said, "A pleasure to meet you." Instead of bowing this time, he took Chen Baixiang's hand.

This is how I always test a girl. Will she pull her hand back, and if so, how quickly? It tells me how much effort I'll have to put in to conquer her.

Chen Baixiang's cheeks flushed crimson, but her heart was pounding with excitement. I fell for him at first sight. He's handsome, wealthy, and of noble descent. Of course, I like him. I didn't know what his intentions were, but now I think I understand. He's holding my hand and not letting go... could he like me too? Because of this, she made no move to pull her hand away. In fact, she wished he would hold on even longer, as if it were a great honor. To encounter such an outstanding man and not pursue him would truly be a loss.

"Miss Chen, I'm not very familiar with this estate. Shall we take a look around?" Chuyun Xiong casually wrapped an arm around Chen Baixiang.

She didn't resist, her heart merely racing faster. I might actually be on the verge of soaring to new heights, of becoming a phoenix perched on a high branch! My family is well-off, but compared to the Hanfang Association, we're nothing. And compared to the Chuyun Family, the difference is like that between heaven and earth. The Chuyun Family is said to have royal blood from Kappa Country!

Just like that, Chuyun Xiong and Chen Baixiang walked off together. Tian Lili was incredibly excited. She and Chen Baixiang were close friends. If Chen Baixiang could really marry Chuyun Xiong, she would certainly benefit from it as well. Several others close to Chen Baixiang were equally thrilled, feeling that this relationship had a real chance of succeeding.

Along the way, Chuyun Xiong repeatedly tested Chen Baixiang's boundaries. Fortunately, she wasn't completely naive and managed to stop his more excessive advances.

The group arrived at the contestants' lounge for the finals. When Chen Baixiang saw Yang Qi, she proudly tightened her grip on Chuyun Xiong's arm, as if she were trying to declare or show off something.

Yet Yang Qi paid her no mind at all. He sat there with his eyes closed, deep in meditation. What elixir should I refine in the finals? And how should I go about refining it?

At this moment, Song Ruize entered. His face darkened instantly upon seeing Yang Qi. He leaned in and whispered a few words into Chuyun Xiong's ear.

Chuyun Xiong sneered and looked over at Yang Qi. "So, you're the one who refined the Energy Pill? You concoct one worthless elixir and suddenly you're this conceited? You don't even have any regard for President Song anymore, do you?"

Yang Qi's eyes remained closed, and he didn't respond.

"Bastard! I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me? Are you playing dead?" Chuyun Xiong was enraged. Yang Qi's blatant disregard was a public humiliation, and he couldn't stand to lose face.

While Yang Qi showed no reaction, Chen Baixiang was completely taken aback. Just a moment ago, Chuyun Xiong was so well-spoken and carried himself with such elegance. How did he become so crude and vulgar in the blink of an eye? Could it be that his polished exterior was all just a facade? She suddenly recalled her grandfather Chen Guo's words: some things really can't be judged by appearances.

"Young Master Chuyun, you're hurting me!" Chuyun Xiong's grip had tightened in his anger, turning her hand red. The pain was so sharp that Chen Baixiang was on the verge of tears.

"Damn it! Still playing dead? Wake him up!" Thoroughly infuriated, Chuyun Xiong waved his hand. Two Samurai standing behind him charged forward and moved to attack Yang Qi directly.

Chen Baixiang was horrified. This Chuyun Xiong is completely insane! Now I understand what Grandpa meant by 'unreasonable.' This world is far more complex than I ever imagined.

"Don't!" Chen Baixiang cried out. "He's a friend of my grandfather! Young Master Chuyun, for my sake, please let him go."

SLAP!

Chuyun Xiong struck Chen Baixiang across the face. "Who the hell are you to ask me for favors?" he snarled. "You dare to plead for him? Today, I'll kill him right in front of you! Don't hold back. Kill him now!"

His arrogance was boundless. To come to Dragon Country and try to kill one of its citizens was the very height of hubris.

Just then, Yang Qi's eyes snapped open. Two tangible beams of light shot forth, and the two Samurai instantly clutched their heads in pain before collapsing thunderously to the ground. Yang Qi was no Martial Artist; he was a Cultivator. Cultivators not only train their physical bodies but also their Primordial Spirits. Those two beams were two projections of his Divine Thought, which had pierced directly through the two men's neurons. Though the Samurai appeared alive on the surface, they were, in fact, brain-dead. Since they had intended to kill him, he saw no reason to show mercy.

"People from Kappa Country, coming to our Dragon Country to fight and kill? And you'd even strike a woman from our country? Don't you think that's going too far?" Yang Qi said coldly. It was Chen Baixiang's cry for help that had slightly improved his impression of her, prompting him to speak up on her behalf.

"Hahaha, so what if I hit a woman from Dragon Country? I'm still going to toy with her!" Chuyun Xiong roared with laughter. "Besides, it's the women of Dragon Country who have no self-respect, throwing themselves at me. She's already the eighty-seventh one since I arrived. I was starting to get bored, actually. But you want to protect her? That makes it more interesting. I insist on playing with her now! What are you going to do about it?"

Chen Baixiang's face turned deathly pale. She could never have imagined that Chuyun Xiong was this kind of person. How lucky that I found out early. Otherwise, to be toyed with and then discarded... the outcome would have been truly miserable.
