Chapter 234: 0234: Successful Enlightening _1
Otherwise, why would she ask such a question?
A satisfying life, my ass. We haven’t even had one.
“We’ve never had a marital life,” Yang Xinyi replied with difficulty.
Du Yuehua was stunned.
Under her relentless questioning, Yang Xinyi laid out the whole story.
When Du Yuehua heard that after they got married, they had only tried once, and even then, it was when Ye Xiong was drunk and unaware, she was dumbfounded.
“You’ve slept together for so long, and he hasn’t touched you. Can you tolerate that?” Du Yuehua was utterly flabbergasted.
“I hid a pair of scissors under my pillow. If he dares to touch me, I’ll cut him off.”
Du Yuehua was completely speechless.
“I really don’t know what to say about you. Men have a rebellious streak. The more you threaten him, the more resistant he’ll become. A man like him could have any number of women throwing themselves at him if he just stepped out. Aren’t you just driving him to cheat?” Du Yuehua said.
“He thinks he can touch me without registering our marriage? He’s dreaming,” huffed Yang Xinyi.
“But didn’t you already have a relationship with him? Why are you being so stubborn.”
“That’s different. He was drunk then.”
“Anyway, I think if you use marriage as a condition to let him into your bed, he might be displeased. Tell me, which man likes to be blackmailed into marriage by a woman?”
“So, am I supposed to let that jerk get the better of me?” Yang Xinyi was somewhat unresigned.
After sending Du Yuehua back, on the way home, Yang Xinyi’s mind was filled with what she had said and she didn’t expect that a car was stealthily following her from behind.
Returning to the villa, just as she parked her car, she suddenly felt a pain in her back and fainted.
…
Three days later.
A thunderous Beast Roar emanated from the basement.
Success!
He had finally mastered Transformation.
Ye Xiong looked at his own arms, he could feel the boundless strength coursing through his body. At that moment, he felt like a god, a god capable of destroying everything, invincible.
He stretched out his massive right hand and, from between the iron bars, reached out his fingers to grasp the key, then unlocked the cage.
Since his intelligence had just been awakened, he was as clumsy as a child learning to walk, not very coordinated with his limbs.
It took him several minutes to unlock it, then he burst out of the iron cage.
Whoosh!
He rushed out like a ferocious giant beast.
Deep footprints remained on the ground.
Ao hou.
He stretched his arms and struck the stone wall, causing stone chips to fly everywhere. The granite wall was quickly punched through with large holes by his fists.
Such astonishing strength!
Next, the transformed Ye Xiong ran quickly in the cave, getting accustomed to his body.
Fifteen minutes later, Ye Xiong’s body began to regress, returning to a normal human size.
He collapsed to the ground, coughing desperately, enduring the side effects that followed Transformation. It took a full two minutes for the pain to subside. Then he lay on the ground, gasping for air.
“After a preliminary test, the Transformation time is approximately fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, it automatically reverts to human form within five seconds; after reverting, there are about two minutes of post-Transformation sequela, which means, I have around two minutes and fifteen seconds of zero combat ability,” Ye Xiong concluded from the training data.
“The longer the Transformation time, the lengthier the sequela period. If the Transformation does not exceed three minutes, the body can handle it, and there won’t be any post-Transformation effects.” Ye Xiong etched these data firmly in his mind because they might significantly affect his future combat.
Checking the time on his phone, Ye Xiong realized he had been in seclusion for three days.
One day longer than the originally planned seclusion time.
He immediately called He Mengji, intending to ask her to get going because the Blood-devouring Gu in her could not be delayed any longer.
But to his surprise, after several attempts, he could not get through.
He had no choice but to call Chen Xiao.
From Chen Xiao, he learned that He Mengji and Thirteen had set off the day before. They had tried calling Ye Xiong all day yesterday but didn’t get through. He Mengji thought she had been deceived by him.
“Book the fastest flight immediately, we’re leaving at once,” he ordered.
After giving the instructions, Ye Xiong called Vermilion Bird and asked her to get ready.
A moment later, Chen Xiao called back to say that the earliest flight was not until tomorrow night.
After hanging up, Ye Xiong called Yang Xinyi. Upon learning that he was all right, Yang Xinyi was very excited.
“Did you succeed?” she asked.
“Yeah, there has been progress,” Ye Xiong replied before asking, “Where are you now?”
“At the company.”
“I’ll come and pick you up.”
Before long, Ye Xiong arrived at the entrance of Xinyi Group, and Yang Xinyi came out from inside.
“Let’s find a place to eat first. I’ve been surviving on instant noodles and dry bread these past two days, and I’m about to throw up,” said Ye Xiong with a laugh.
“Whatever,” said Yang Xinyi indifferently.
Yang Xin didn’t show the surprise Ye Xiong expected upon seeing him, and he noticed a look of worry on her face.
“Is something wrong?” Ye Xiong asked in confusion.
“Oh, it’s nothing. Let’s go eat,” Yang Xinyi said.
Having not seen her for two days, Ye Xiong missed her quite a bit and was about to take her hand to express his longing.
However, Yang Xinyi withdrew her hand and said indifferently, “There are too many people here.”
Ye Xiong thought she was just being shy and didn’t think much of it.
He was set to leave for Miaojiang the next day, and while he missed Du Yuehua and Luo Weiwei, he had just finished his seclusion and needed to spend time with Yang Xinyi. If he mentioned leaving now, it would surely upset her.
After having dinner with Yang Xinyi and sending her home, Ye Xiong told her about his business trip.
“I made a promise to He Mengji to help her. One has to have principles in what they say, so I have to leave tomorrow,” Ye Xiong explained.
When she heard about the poison in He Mengji, Yang Xinyi became nervous too; after all, He Mengji was her middle and high school classmate. Although they rarely spoke, they both valued each other highly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
During He Mengji’s hospitalization, Yang Xinyi often visited her while taking care of Ye Xiong, and their relationship warmed up quickly. Yang Xinyi never imagined she was stricken with such severe poison.
After the meal, Ye Xiong made an excuse about going out to buy something.
Yang Xinyi knew even without his saying that he would be leaving on a trip tomorrow and was surely going to see Du Yuehua.
She felt a bit choked up but couldn’t bring herself to address it, so she simply sighed in silence.
Climbing into Du Yuehua’s villa, Ye Xiong shared his plan to travel to Miaojiang with her. The two enjoyed a brief moment of affection before Ye Xiong left.
Even though he desired her, as Du Yuehua hadn’t fully recovered and wasn’t able to withstand his advances, they only shared a moment of intimacy before Ye Xiong departed.
Driving alone on the midnight streets, Ye Xiong suddenly thought of the busty woman, Luo Weiwei.
He wondered how she was doing now.
They had not been in contact for a long time since their last intimate encounter.
He thought about calling her but decided against it.
Returning home at around ten at night, he entered the room and found Yang Xinyi lying on the bed, her face awash with tears.
The sight of her was heartbreakingly sad.
What woman wouldn’t be heartbroken and shed tears over her dearly beloved visiting another woman?
Ye Xiong walked over and embraced her, whispering gently, “I’m sorry. I promise you, once I return from Miaojiang, we will register for marriage.”
A surge of emotion overcame Yang Xinyi, and she took the initiative to kiss him.
Ye Xiong responded to her, and they tumbled onto the bed together.
