Villain Seized the Assassin Heroine at the Start! - Chapter 22

It was Su Qingyue!

Li Mubai had almost forgotten about this woman whom Murong Bing had earlier brought back along with him.

“Are you looking for me for something?”

Staring at Su Qingyue, Li Mubai asked.

“Young Master Li, I wanted to ask you… if you can help release Ye Xuan from the station…”

Gritting her teeth, Su Qingyue spoke.

At this moment, she already came to know that ‘Ye Xuan’ was the same Ye Xuan she knew!

It was her old classmate, Ye Xuan whose Ye family was annihilated five years back!

Although she didn’t know how Ye Xuan survived, she was very angry at Ye Xuan for lying to her in the beginning.

But as he was now in a dire situation, she didn’t continue to be angry at him.

So, she came here wanting to beg Li Mubai to help release Ye Xuan from the station.

Although the incident in the banquet hall was the ‘consequence’ of what Ye Xuan himself had done, she was also responsible for him since she was the one that brought Ye Xuan over there.

She was also partly accountable for what happened.

Even if she decided to ignore it, her conscience kept haunting her.

“Ugh.. Why should I help him?”

Li Mubai amusedly asked back in a rhetorical manner.

“As long as Young Master Li can help release Ye Xuan, I… I am willing to…”

Gritting her teeth, Su Qingyue spoke.

However, when she was at the latter half of the sentence, she couldn’t let out any words.

“You’re willing to do what?”

Seeing this, Li Mubai couldn’t help but flash her a teasing smile.

“I… I can do anything… I can…”

Su Qingyue lowered her head. Her voice was almost the same as a mosquito mumbling.

“You’d do anything? Are you sure?”

Li Mubai asked playfully.

“I…”

As she heard Li Mubai’s teasing tone, Su Qingyue gritted her teeth hesitating for a moment.

“Think it over before coming back to me.”

Li Mubai looked at her with a smile and threw her his business card and turned to leave.

He just devoured Murong Bing who had 98 charm points.

So, he wasn’t in a hurry to devour Su Qingyue, the little white rabbit at this moment.

“Young Master!”

On the side, Xie He, after receiving a message from Li Mubai, drove a car to pick him up.

“Return back to the villa.”

After Li Mubai got into the car, he gently instructed.

Xia He drove the car back.

Su Qingyue who was left behind froze for a moment.

Deep in her heart, she kept asking a question.

What was Ye Xuan to her? In the end… Is he worth it?

It was just that she and Ye Xuan shared a classmate relationship.

It was her who under a lot of criticism and risk collected the remains of Ye Xuan’s parent’s and buried them five years back.

It was because she pitied Ye Xuan, and couldn’t bear herself to see his parents buried in the wastelands.

But now, she was about to sacrifice herself to save him.

Is he even worth it?…

Su Qingyue fell into a deep self-contemplation…

*****

“Young Master, Master is already aware of the news of you coming out alone.”

In the car.

Xia He, who was driving the car, spoke softly.

“Master said that this time there was no accident as Young Master was lucky. But Young Master mustn’t repeat it again. After all, the Young master is the future of the Li family. Young Master’s status is noble, and must not…”

“Well, I know.”

Li Mubai, in the back seat, gave a slight nod.

His eyes were on the small stone in his hand.

This piece of stone was the forbidden zone stone that he snatched from Ye Xuan.

According to what was told in the book, Ye Xuan followed his Master and essentially learned the art of medicine, alchemy, and martial arts cultivation.

After his return to the city, he’d accidentally awaken the Forbidden Zone Stone.

He’d then receive a heavenly inheritance from it.

With his gradual rise in cultivation, he’d finally be able to get the entire city under his control!

To put it simply, this stone contained many cultivation methods and inheritances.

However, as Li Mubai now had the existence of the system, he doesn’t have the leisure time to cultivate on his own.

He was also sure that this stone would only fuse with Ye Xuan’s blood.

Even if Li Mubai wanted to use this for himself, he couldn’t.

It was because once Ye Xuan’s blood drips on the stone, it’d get fused with Ye Xuan and was inseparable.

Li Mubai now planned to give this stone to his system to harvest some points.

It was because his system happened to have a function that could melt some rare items making him obtain the villain points from them.

“System, scan this stone.”

Li Mubai told his system in his mind.

[Ding! Scan successful! Melting the Ye family’s ancestor inheritance, the stone of the forbidden zone would yield 100,000 villain points!]

One hundred thousand villain points!

Although Li Mubai didn’t underestimate the points that this stone would bring him, he was nevertheless a little surprised.

This stone was actually worth five Murong Bing…

Ahem…

Li Mubai slowly straightened his collar and recited in his heart, “System, melt it!”

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully melting. Rewarding 100,000 villain points!]

“System, purchase Innate (Sovereign) level Combat Prowess!”

Seeing that he received the villain points, Li Mubai added.

With the now one hundred thousand villain points, plus the previous thirty-seven thousand points, he now had more than one hundred thousand villain points with him!

With his status, he wasn’t in shortage of anything else!

The only thing he now lacked was cultivation!

The realm above the Hua-Jin was the Innate (Sovereign) Realm!

In addition to excess release of the aura of an Innate (Sovereign) Master, the exclusive feature of Innate (Sovereign) Masters was that they could walk through the air!

Their life expectancy would be increased by 300 years!

[Ding! 120,000 villain points consumed. Innate level Combat prowess is purchased successfully. It is in the process of binding with the host!]
