Lin Que got halfway through his “tut” when he met his Ninth Brother’s icy, snowy eyes. He immediately closed his mouth and shut up.

  The man enveloped by ice took a deep breath and wanted to suppress the storm that wanted to engulf him, but this time, he actually failed…


  He stared at the girl in front of him, his tone barely concealing his fury. “I heard President Bai went to China. Why are you back so soon?”


  Jiang Yan was shocked when he saw his Lord starting a conversation with Bai Feng out of his own volition.

  His Lord had never acknowledged Bai Feng much.

  Ye Wanwan appeared to become more elated from Lord Asura’s words. Her curved and shimmering eyes caused her naked face to look extremely radiant and alluring.

  Ye Wanwan mockingly teased: “I originally wanted to stay in China longer, but unfortunately, I turned sick from longing for a person, so I couldn’t help but come flying back.”


  She intentionally emphasized the words “turned sick from longing” and cheerfully stared at his face.

  Big Dipper:

  Seven Star:

  I knew it! The President would definitely talk without thinking as soon as she saw Lord Asura!

  Didn’t she see how Lord Asura looks extremely displeased? Why couldn’t she rein it in a bit?

  Next to Si Yehan, Lin Que grumbled quietly, “Eh? Turned sick from longing for a person? Who?”


  As the atmosphere grew tenser, a gentle voice appeared from behind them. “President Bai.”


  Ye Wanwan turned to the source and felt her little heart warming a few degrees from Lord Asura’s chilly breeze when she saw the newcomer’s kind and gentle face. She waved her hand and greeted him. “Ah, Emperor Ji! What a coincidence!”


  She then added casually, “I’ve missed you from our long days apart.”


  Lin Que’s eyes shot open, and he blurted, “He’s that girl’s reason for ‘turning sick from longing’?”


  Don’t tell me that girl really took a fancy to Ji Xiuran?!

  Of course, she could also covet both Lord Asura and Ji Xiuran…


  Lin Que kept glancing at Lord Asura with trepidation as he grumbled.

  What a sin! Regardless of this girl’s reason for returning to the Independent State, the grassland above Ninth Brother’s head was so fertile that horses could stampede across it…


  Ji Xiuran imperceptibly glanced at Lord Asura before looking at Ye Wanwan and said with a smile, “A coincidence indeed. Are you also here to attend the banquet, President Bai?”


  Ye Wanwan heard the surprise in Ji Xiuran’s voice and explained, “Yeah! There happens to be something I’m interested in amongst tonight’s auction items.”


  “Something you’re interested in?” Ji Xiuran asked.

  Ye Wanwan coughed lightly. “Hehe, yeah!”


  “May I ask what item struck President Bai’s fancy?” Ji Xiuran looked intrigued.

  Ye Wanwan’s lips twitched. It wasn’t like she could say “I want your closely worn ring”, right? It sounded weird no matter how she said it.

  “Ahem, nothing, nothing…” Ye Wanwan couldn’t make herself say it.

  “Ahem, um, Ninth Brother…”


  Lin Que wanted to say something but discovered Lord Asura had disappeared from his side and started entering the banquet hall already, so he hastily followed.

  “Hmph, vixen!” Jiang Yan also quickly followed.

  Ye Wanwan exasperatedly glanced at Jiang Yan. “Pft, can’t this guy… use a different name? Can’t he be more creative? One day, I’ll make you change it to Madam Asura…”


  Chapter 1892: She can’t be here to crash the banquet, right?

  Ye Wanwan’s voice wasn’t that quiet.

  Seven Star’s face was utterly dark. “President! Speak carefully!”


  “Ah, life is unpredictable and anything could happen. Who knows, right?” Ye Wanwan soothingly patted Seven Star’s shoulder.

  Seven Star didn’t want to say anything.

  All the leaders and powerful figures of the Independent State gathered inside the banquet hall.

  A glance across the room revealed that the majority of the guests present were “prestigious and upright” figures.

  Although the four great clans had good intentions, some atypical groups and organizations didn’t buy it and regarded an event like this disdainfully and wouldn’t attend it.

  When Ji Xiuran appeared, everyone turned to him.

  The Ji family dabbled on both sides of the law and thrived in every area, so they attended this event every year.

  A wave of whispers and discussion ran through the venue.

  “Have you heard? This time, Emperor Ji donated the ring he wears every day!”


  “Really? Emperor Ji has been wearing that ring for as long as I’ve known him!”


  “Usually, a closely-worn ring like this is either a keepsake or holds some special meaning, but Emperor Ji actually donated it for the charity auction. He seriously shelled out a fortune! No wonder he’s Emperor Ji; he’s too sincere!”


  “Ahhh! I must win Emperor Ji’s ring tonight! No one is allowed to fight with me!” a girl wearing an aqua blue gown exclaimed enthusiastically.

  The girl in pink next to him couldn’t help but rain on her parade. “Just forget it! I heard Third Miss Shen also has her eyes on this ring! Who can compete against the Shen family in terms of wealth? Moreover, her family happens to be the organizer and host of this year’s charity banquet, so the winner of this ring will definitely be Third Miss Shen!”


  “How could she?! Isn’t that too much? She’s crushing us with money!”


  “What can we do? We can’t stop the Shen family from being wealthy!”


  The other socialites who also wanted to bid for this ring all complained with dissatisfied expressions.

  In the banquet hall, all the big shots and celebrities were gathered in groups and conversing amongst themselves when someone suddenly cried quietly at the entrance. Silence enveloped the hall as though it had frozen.

  A pair of slender legs entered their sight as a man in a black suit encased in frost slowly walked in.

  Isn’t… isn’t this Lord Asura?

  Why did Lord Asura come to this charity banquet?

  Are we blind?

  Even the organizer, the Shen family, was startled. The plump Patriarch Shen was in the middle of receiving Ji Xiuran. It took him a while to regain his wits before he hastily walked toward the entrance. “You honored us with your presence, Lord Asura!”


  “You’re too polite, Uncle Shen.”


  While everyone was immersed in their surprise about Lord Asura’s arrival, a girl in frayed and loose black clothes languidly strode in with a pair of flip-flops on her feet…


  “D*mn… Bai… Bai Feng!”


  “Bro Flattop!”


  “What’s going on with this charity banquet? Even Bro Flattop is here? This is a joke, right?! Why is she here?”


  “She can’t be here to crash the banquet, right?”


  Although Asura had a more vicious and cruel reputation than the Fearless Alliance, Asura was an organized and disciplined savage group. On the other hand, the Fearless Alliance didn’t act according to logic or reason and were willing to do anything.

  There was no question that it was the latter group that induced a bigger headache and that most people were unwilling to provoke.
