Chapter 413: Chapter 275: I Take the Good, You Handle the Bad
"Do you intend to challenge Tian Quezi on your own? Ye Huli, you really are a dark horse. Come clean, are you also highly skilled as a martial artist? How skilled are you? Could you possibly be a Martial Saint too?" Yun Sheng was overjoyed inside.
Why hadnât she thought of it before, to simply have someone go and slit Tian Queziâs throat?
As long as Tian Quezi can no longer compete, then it will no longer be Yun Baheâs problem.
One-fourth of Great Zhouâs Purple Gold Vein would also be preserved, and Emperor of Great Zhou would no longer have grounds to pick on the Yun Residence.
However, Ye Beiming was not pleased. He couldnât help but rap Yun Shengâs little head, his phoenix eyes half annoyed, half dissatisfied.
"Little Wildcat, youâre not being fair. Iâve been entirely open and generous with you, always thinking of you first when it comes to good opportunities. Yet look at you, pushing me forward when it comes to a suicide mission."
Ye Beiming felt sour inside.
Yun Sheng held her head, scooted to the side, and stuck out her tongue: "Youâre one of us, why should I stand on ceremony with you? Besides, it was your own suggestion. You canât blame me for this. Who asked you to be so defiantly powerful? If you donât step up, thereâs simply no one else suitable for the job. It canât be that youâd want my second uncle and Vice Director Zhan to team up for a sneaky assassination, right?"
Ye Beiming, although still a bit upset, instantly brightened up when he heard the words "one of us" coming out of Yun Shengâs little mouth.
Well, that comment was indeed pleasing to hear.
Ye Beiming stroked his chin, "Although I canât personally join the fray, thereâs someone right beside you who would be a very suitable candidate right now."
He glanced at the Life Magic Artifact beside her.
"Rich Man Gold? You want it to assassinate Tian Quezi? That doesnât seem very reliable," Yun Sheng looked at the Life Magic Artifact beside her.
In the past few months, Rich Man Gold had indeed grown a lot, but it had only advanced to become an Intermediate Life Magic Artifact.
According to the descriptions in the Magic Artifact Encyclopedia, while an Intermediate Eternal Magical Artifact can emulate any combat skills or magic, it canât fully utilize the original power of the mage.
An Intermediate Eternal Magical Artifact can, at most, exert fifty percent of the combat skills or magic power.
So for ordinary martial artists or mages, Rich Man Goldâs power can sweep through armies, but if it encounters the true powerhouses of the continent, Rich Man Gold would be inadequate.
"Whether itâs reliable or not, I have my own judgment. If youâre at ease, you can hand it over to me, and you donât have to worry about this matter. On the day of the competition, Tian Quezi will definitely not show up," Ye Beiming spoke with an indescribable, astonishing presence.
That was absolute confidence, the kind of dominance that only true powerhouses could emanate.
Yun Sheng looked at Rich Man Gold, then at Ye Beiming. The wealth of Ye Huli was much more substantial than hers.
Although Rich Man Gold was precious, compared to Yun Bahe... Yun Sheng quickly made up her mind and agreed to hand over Rich Man Gold to Ye Beiming for three days.
"However, I also have a condition. Iâve helped you with such a huge favor, you should give me something in return," Ye Beiming shifted his tone, reached out his long arm, and very smoothly scooped Yun Sheng into his embrace.
Yun Sheng was angry, but all she could do was glare!
This was not the first time Ye Beiming had been handsy with her.
But she was still no match for this guy.
In terms of Qi Power, Ye Beiming was like an iron fortress, and Yun Sheng suspected that even Bobbie would be in pain if it met him.
When it comes to magic... well, okay, her magic was no match for him. Although Ye Beiming did not use a Magic Wand, he was always able to easily break Yun Shengâs magic.
Since using force was no use, she might as well lie back and enjoy it.
After all, Ye Beiming was born well, and his physique was quite impressive.
From Yun Shengâs perspective, Ye Beimingâs face was flawlessly perfect, without the slightest imperfection; even his eyelashes were thick and black, fluttering slightly, accelerating oneâs heartbeat involuntarily.
Being held in his arms felt not bad, Yun Sheng considered herself as if holding a human-shaped pillow.
But why was he holding her for no reason?
As Yun Sheng came back to her senses, she discovered Ye Beimingâs handsome face getting closer and closer to her, his lips with perfect lines almost touching her cheek.
In her previous life, she had dated Liu Minglang, but because of her personality, she rarely engaged in intimate gestures with him, at most just kisses.
But she had never felt anything like what Ye Beiming was making her feel now.
How old was this body of hers? Surely Ye Huli wouldnât suddenly turn into a big bad wolf.
It shouldnât be a matter of paying back with her body just for helping out.
Yun Sheng hurriedly turned her face away, her body rigid.
Ye Beiming noticed Yun Shengâs unusual behavior, a trace of mischief flashing in his eyes.
His gaze fell upon Yun Shengâs half-exposed fair neck and beautifully shaped tender earlobes, revealed through her struggle.
With a slight tightness in his throat, an impulse surged in Ye Beimingâs heart and his lips suddenly landed on Yun Shengâs ear, his hot breath skimming across her earlobe.
Yun Sheng felt as though her earlobes were boiled, burning hot, and she began to struggle fiercely with her arms and legs.
If this continued, she would really be devoured raw by the fox.
"Little Wildcat, stop wriggling, or this king really will devour you alive," Ye Beimingâs lips grazed Yun Shengâs earlobe, lightly touching it. He knew that Yun Sheng didnât have romantic feelings for him yet, so he couldnât be too hasty.
Sooner or later, Little Wildcat would be his, and when she grew a bit more, he wouldnât let her off so easily.
"Help this king forge a batch of Weapons, integrating Purple Gold into them," Ye Beiming said slowly.
He had noticed Rich Man Gold, capable of forging Life Magic Artifacts, and it seemed Little Wildcat was not only adept at Alchemy, but her skills in Artifact Refining were also much more impressive than he had imagined.
Not making use of resources would not be consistent with Ye Huliâs behavior.
Most of the Purple Gold Ore at Ye Beimingâs disposal had already been crudely refined.
The smelting techniques of those Mages were far inferior to Yun Shengâs, and as for Ye Beimingâs so-called repayments, he wished for Yun Sheng to help him forge a batch of Purple Gold weapons.
After Ye Beiming mentioned it, Yun Sheng remembered that the primary use of Purple Gold Ore wasnât to be smelted into Purple Gold Coins, but rather it was the highly-coveted Purple Gold Artifacts on the continent for both Martial Artists and Mages.
Ye Beiming and Yun Sheng had both acquired quite a number of Purple Gold Ores in the previous Purple Gold Vein.
One thing they had in common was that neither of them was short on money.
Yun Sheng knew how to refine pills, and Little Ciâen Hall was gradually beginning to make a profit; the business of the Sky Hunting Corps was also booming, with money rolling in continually.
Ye Beiming had a series of organizations at his command, including the Wanlong Gambling House.
Both were masters of wealth, so after acquiring the Purple Gold Vein, they didnât immediately refine it into Purple Gold Coins.
Ye Beimingâs request was simple; he would provide Purple Gold Ore and the corresponding weapons, armor, and Magic Wands, while Yun Sheng was responsible for helping him forge Purple Gold Holy Weapons.
