Chapter 3976: Chapter 3976: Killing Intent (Seventh Update)
He raised the envelope in his hand and said, "A friend wants to invite me to dinner, and I, as the young lord, feel embarrassed to refuse."
The charming woman puckered her cherry lips and said, "What kind of friend could make Your Highness happier than we do?"
Xi Xunlu laughed heartily, and as he walked towards the exit of the hall, he said, "If it were someone else, it wouldn’t matter, but the number one beauty of the North Sea, really, you can’t compare with her."
Upon hearing this, the charming woman’s beautiful eyes turned cold, and she gritted her teeth secretly, saying, "Qin Hongyue? Heh, I thought Miss Qin was so chaste, but in the end, isn’t she just trying to pique the His Highness’ interest? Now, she’s revealing her true nature?"
Suddenly, she coldly looked at a somewhat frightened young girl nearby and said, "Come with me into the tent."
The girl was taken aback, just about to say something, but before she could open her mouth, she was pulled into the tent by the charming woman. Immediately, a scream echoed throughout the entire palace.
Xi Xunlu scratched his ear and nonchalantly walked towards the exit of the hall. As he left the palace, he whistled, and suddenly, there was a flash of golden light beside him. A giant wolf with sleek fur and a golden body appeared before Xi Xunlu.
This giant wolf exuded a strong demonic energy and was clearly a powerful beast of the Sixth Level of the Qiankun Realm. However, its eyes were dim, and its expression was rather dazed. Evidently, its divine soul was imprisoned in some way, rendering its intelligence almost lost, only able to act on its master’s orders.
Xi Xunlu showed a slight smile, moved his body, and mounted the wolf’s back. The giant wolf instantly turned into a streak of golden light and rushed out of the hall, galloping away swiftly and in the blink of an eye, it dived into the sea!
An eerie scene unfolded!
This golden giant wolf walked on water, swiftly heading towards the distant horizon, its speed several times faster than many warships!
This giant wolf was a unique beast found in the Chenyue Sea, known as the Chenyue Golden Wolf!
The Chenyue Golden Wolf was not only incredibly powerful but also possessed the superpower to walk on water, making it extremely suitable for use as a mount.
However, the Chenyue Golden Wolf was extremely rare, making one imagine how high its price must be!
Almost only the royal families and top-tier forces in the Chenyue Sea had the privilege of riding the Chenyue Golden Wolf!
The Chenyue Golden Wolf had almost become a symbol of status!
"Ride on!" Xi Xunlu cheered as he galloped across the sea, heading in the direction of the restaurant Qin Hongyue had indicated.
Before long, Xi Xunlu arrived at a hotel named Snow Building.
This Snow Building was also a very upscale restaurant, with three floors in total. The guests who could afford to dine at the Snow Building generally had extraordinary wealth!
However, when they saw Xi Xunlu and the Chenyue Golden Wolf appear outside, their expressions changed, and they hurriedly bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness!"
The shopkeeper of the restaurant quickly appeared before Xi Xunlu and said very respectfully, "Your Highness, you have arrived."
Xi Xunlu casually waved and said, "Let the guests all leave; I will cover their bills. Today, I am booking the entire Snow Building."
With that, he proceeded straight to the third floor. Xi Xunlu had been to the Snow Building before, and the third floor was exclusively reserved for VIPs, with only one table for the entire floor.
The shopkeeper smiled wryly upon hearing this, knowing that this would offend many guests. However, he had no choice but to comply.
Offending ordinary guests was better than offending Xi Xunlu.
After a bit of commotion, the guests gradually left the Snow Building. Although their faces showed anger, they dared not truly defy Xi Xunlu’s wishes.
Soon, the entire Snow Building became quiet, and at this time, Xi Xunlu and the Chenyue Golden Wolf finally stepped onto the third floor.
The third floor had only one large round table covered with a white tablecloth.
Xi Xunlu had just taken his seat when the shopkeeper came over again, smiling, "Your Highness, the guests have all left."
Xi Xunlu waved his hand, saying, "Alright, prepare the meal; my friend will be here shortly."
Then he pointed to the golden giant wolf lying at his feet and said, "Also, serve my Golden Wolf some top-tier ferocious beast meat."
"Yes!" After the shopkeeper left, it wasn’t long before several beautiful women in cheongsams arrived on the third floor. Each of them was holding a platter of dishes, which were placed before Xi Xunlu.
These dishes naturally would not have any issues with being cold, always maintaining the best taste!
A large plate was also placed in front of the Chenyue Golden Wolf, filled with ferocious beast meat heavy with spiritual pressure.
...
At this time, several figures appeared in front of the Snow Building, including three late-stage Qiankun Realm individuals, among whom were Qin Hongyue and her group!
Qin Hongyue said, "Elder Huang, Tributor Tang, you stay downstairs while Ye Chen and I go up."
Ye Chen also said to Lin Jianqing, "You stay downstairs too."
Lin Jianqing nodded, having no objections.
Then, Qin Hongyue led Ye Chen towards the third floor, knowing that Xi Xunlu was waiting for her there.
The welcoming shopkeeper greeted Qin Hongyue with great respect, "Fairy Qin, please, His Highness has been waiting for a long time."
Qin Hongyue nodded, said nothing, and proceeded upstairs.
The shopkeeper watched their backs, his smile vanishing, and a hint of shock appeared in his eyes. He hadn’t expected Qin Hongyue to bring a man to dine with Xi Xunlu?
Qin Hongyue’s eyes flashed slightly; she brought Ye Chen along to prove Ye Chen’s value to Xi Xunlu!
Although future transactions would be conducted through the Beihan Commerce, the first negotiation required Ye Chen’s presence because without him on site, the royal families wouldn’t be willing to do business with him.
As Xi Xunlu was waiting for Qin Hongyue, he suddenly frowned slightly, sensing two auras coming upstairs!
What is going on?
Qin Hongyue was here to dine with him, yet she brought someone?
Soon, a stunning woman appeared before Xi Xunlu, none other than Qin Hongyue, the North Sea’s number one beauty whom Xi Xunlu longed for day and night!
Xi Xunlu stood up, ready to greet Qin Hongyue with a smile, but in the next moment, his smile froze!
He saw a young man with an aloof expression following Qin Hongyue, slowly walking up to the third level.
In the next moment, Xi Xunlu’s eyes were fixed on Ye Chen, with spiritual energy swirling furiously around him, his aura growing more and more intense!
Xi Xunlu was obviously enraged! Even to the point of having murderous intent!
Why?
Because there was virtually no distance between Ye Chen and Qin Hongyue. Even though the two were just walking normally, to the eyes of the discerning, they seemed incredibly close!
With his abundant experience in relationships, Xi Xunlu instantly saw what had transpired between the two, and it was something that happened recently!
In an instant, Xi Xunlu’s eyes were filled with bloodshot rage!
His gaze toward Ye Chen even showed murderous intent!
