Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Purple Night Bar (3 more)

Translator: 549690339

Purple Night Bar was situated in the bustling heart of Lingnan City.

When Xue An arrived, he found that the entrance was already filled with various luxurious cars.

Ma Cheng obsequiously introduced, “Mr. Xue, this is Purple Night Bar. Tsk, tsk, there are always a lot of fancy cars here, but there are even more today. It seems the power of a beautiful woman is truly astonishing!”

Xue An nodded noncommittally, preparing to enter, when he heard a voice coming from behind him.

“Oh, if it isn’t Manager Ma?”

The voice was full of mockery, making it quite disagreeable to the ear.

Ma Cheng turned his head and saw a well-dressed man with an arrogant demeanor standing not far away.

An awkward and apprehensive expression flashed across Ma Cheng’s face, and then, lowering his head, he said with a forced smile, “Oh, it’s Manager Cui Qi, I just didn’t notice you there.”

Cui Qi nodded haughtily, and then said with a mocking tone, “What, is Manager Ma also here to join in on the fun?”

“Hehe, I’m just accompanying someone for a look-see,” Manager Ma said, nodding and bowing.

Cui Qi let out a slight scoff, glanced at Xue An and Yu Ran standing in the shadows behind him.

Seeing that Xue An was dressed unremarkably and was not some wealthy young master, he couldn’t help but lift his chin proudly and walked into the bar.

Ma Cheng finally let out a sigh of relief and then quietly explained to Xue An, “That Cui Qi is one of the main business rivals of the Qin Family here in Lingnan, and the man has quite some backing.”

Xue An nodded indifferently, “Are you very afraid of him?”

An embarrassed look appeared on Ma Cheng’s face, “Well… when I first arrived in Lingnan, I offended him. It took quite some effort to smooth things over eventually.”

Xue An smiled and stepped inside.

The Purple Night Bar, truly worthy of being ranked first in Lingnan, had top-notch equipment and decoration.

The place was usually bustling, but today’s patronage had doubled.

And almost everyone there sporadically cast their gazes towards the woman behind the bar.

The woman wore an off-shoulder dress, her delicate collarbone alluring under the flickering lights.

But what truly rendered men incapable of diverting their gazes was the hint of a smile on the woman’s face.

No matter from which angle you looked, it seemed as if she was smiling at you, causing one’s heart to skip a beat involuntarily.

The woman was smoking at the moment, her posture so graceful it made the act of blowing smoke rings seem stunningly beautiful.

Ma Cheng was mesmerized, and it took him a good ten seconds to exclaim, “So beautiful! No wonder she’s caused such a stir. If it were me, I reckon I wouldn’t be able to resist either.”

At this time, Xue An’s eyes held a playful light, and he uttered a small smile, “Very beautiful? I think she’s just average.”

No sooner had he spoken than Cui Qi beside them snickered derisively, “Really a bumpkin who’s never seen the world.”

Then Cui Qi said to Ma Cheng, “What? A toad lusting after a swan’s flesh? You think someone like you is worthy of approaching her?”

Ma Cheng stood there, not knowing how to respond.

At that moment, Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, “Oh? So, you’re implying that you’re not a toad?”

Cui Qi snorted coldly, “Whether I am or not isn’t something for people like you to decide. Though this woman only arrived last night, she has already earned the nickname ‘Cold Rose’—indifferent to the approaches of mere men. But I believe they just haven’t used the right methods!”

With that, Cui Qi, his eyes burning with intensity, stepped forward, his greedy gaze intensifying as he approached the woman.

From close up, she was so breathtaking it seemed one’s breath might stop.

Especially that flirtatious air about her, it was truly maddening.

Thinking this, Cui Qi sat down with the air of a gentleman and snapped his fingers at the waiter.

“Bring out the most expensive wine. A beautiful woman deserves to be accompanied by the finest of liquors!”

When the waiter heard this, he swiftly opened a bottle of Royal Salute and poured two glasses, then Cui Qi, holding up his glass, said with a smile, “To the beautiful miss, may I have the honor of inviting you for a drink?”

This woman was, of course, Shi Xueqing.

She lifted her head to glance at Cui Qi, and then the corners of her mouth lifted, revealing a trace of a smile.

Cui Qi was overjoyed.

Many people had come forward to flirt, but not one had even seen a smile.

It seemed he had successfully moved this woman.

Just as he was feeling proud, Shi Xueqing took the glass, swirled it, and then suddenly splashed it out.

Cui Qi, caught off guard, was splashed in the face with the alcohol.

Then Shi Xueqing said a single word indifferently.

“Scram!”

Cui Qi’s expression became dark and terrible, his gaze flickering uncertainly as he stared at Shi Xueqing.

At that moment, Shi Xueqing took a drag of her cigarette, exhaled, and then said coldly, “Didn’t you hear what I said? Scram!”

Cui Qi stood up, his face ashen, and turned to leave.

Many people had already anticipated this scene.

After all, since the beginning, no fewer than forty had tried to chat up Shi Xueqing.

Twenty-one of them had been splashed with alcohol, ten hit with bottles, and the rest had fled in panic under Shi Xueqing’s cold gaze.

In summary, this woman was simply terrifying.

In her fiery moments, she was like last night, driving everyone mad.

And in her icy moments, she was like a perennial, unmelted iceberg, deterring anyone from even daring to draw near.

Just then, another figure slowly approached the bar.

Many people sneered slightly, thinking here was another seeking death.

Ma Cheng and Yu Ran’s eyes, however, widened in disbelief.

Because the one approaching was Xue An.

Yu Ran was the most shocked of all.

So… he liked this type of woman?

Cui Qi also saw this scene and couldn’t help but sneer slightly.

It was as if he could already see the disheveled retreat of Xue An in a little while.

Xue An walked up to the bar, casually sat down, and didn’t speak, just silently observed Shi Xueqing.

Xue An, now at the cultivation level of a Half-step Loose Immortal, could perfectly control his own aura, making him appear just like an ordinary person, with nothing out of the ordinary showing when he concealed his vital energy.

Shi Xueqing, feeling observed, slightly furrowed her brow and raised her eyes, meeting Xue An’s gaze head-on.

Shi Xueqing’s heart shook involuntarily.

What kind of eyes were these?

Pure and clear, yet they carried a trace of haughtiness, like that of an emperor’s demeanor.

She couldn’t help but be stunned.

At that moment, Xue An smiled lightly, “Won’t you offer me a drink, scion of the Hidden Immortal Sect?”

That sentence struck like a thunderbolt, exploding next to Shi Xueqing’s ears.

Her gaze became sharper than a blade’s edge, “Who… are you?”

Meanwhile, Shi Xueqing was readying herself for all possibilities.

Xue An smiled faintly, revealing a pair of pearly white canine teeth, “No need to be tense, because it’s useless even if you are. If I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead!”
