Chapter 1231 - No Need for Introduction
Panda Novel
“Ms. Luo, do you know this man?” Zhuo Qunfeng’s eyes narrowed at Chen Xiaobei, studying him.
“Yes… He’s my… best friend!” nodded Luo Puti.
The best of friends, the one and only!
Clearly, Chen Xiaobei had a special place in her heart that was irreplaceable by anyone else!
“Please do introduce us! I would like to get to know Ms. Luo’s friend!” Zhuo Qunfeng smiled cheerfully but his eyes were filled with disdain. To him, Chen Xiaobei was a desperate wannabe. He was merely a regular friend of Luo Puti but he called himself her husband. How flagrant!
What Zhuo Qunfeng did not know was that Chen Xiaobei had been calling Luo Puti his wife for nearly half a year already. Even though Luo Puti denied it verbally, she was secretly pleased, and had never actually tried to stop him from calling her that.
“Mm, let me introduce you. This is Chen Xiaobei. He’s the new champion on China’s Hero of War Leaderboard! Surely, you have heard of him before?”
As soon as she said it, Luo Puti regretted her last line. Zhuo Qunfeng was the grandson of the elder of the Supreme Ancient Faction of Kunlun. If he made light of Six Doors and the government, why would he care for the champion of a Martial Arts Leaderboard?
“No, I’ve never heard of it.” Zhuo Qunfeng shrugged. “What is Hero of War Leaderboard? Does the champion have 50,000 combat power?”
“Er…” Luo Puti was lost for words.
This was embarrassing. Luo Puti was selected to be a seed fighter even though her combat power at that time was only 30,000.
She recalled that at that time, Chen Xiaobei only had a little over 30,000 and less than 40,000.
Back then, Luo Puti was very impressed by Chen Xiaobei but right now, in front of Zhuo Qunfeng, 30,000 felt like nothing!
Of course, Zhuo Qunfeng was not trying to act in an arrogant manner. He was after all powerful enough to make such a claim.
Ding!
Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial Cultivation.
Lifespan: 232.
Health: 100,000.
Combat power: 100,000.
Chen Xiaobei was using his Netherspirit Battlescouter to spy on Zhuo Qunfeng’s strength.
With combat power as monumental as his, Zhuo Qunfeng had every right to hold the Hero of War Leaderboard in low regard.
However, what he did not know was that in the short two months after the competition, Chen Xiaobei’s combat power shot up to 80,100!
When combined with the the Divine Skill ‘Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training Manual’ that the Prime of Tongtian had given to him, Chen Xiaobei could wield 100,500 combat power, limited only by the range of his health.
This put him one step above Zhuo Qunfeng!
But because Luo Puti did not know anything about Chen Xiaobei’s current strength, she avoided embarrassing herself by changing the topic, “Xiaobei, what are you doing here?”
“All I did was wave my finger and I immediately knew where you were , so I stepped on my rainbow cloud to come after you.” chuckled Chen Xiaobei.
Showoff! Zhuo Zhufeng did not say it aloud but his eyes were filled with contempt.
“Ms. Luo! You haven’t introduced me yet!”
Zhuo Qunfeng smoothened out his suit, a victorious look over his face. He was waiting for the moment that Luo Puti announced his identity so that he could savor Chen Xiaobei’s shocked look.
“There’s no need for that. Even if you did, I wouldn’t remember.”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged.
“You…” Zhuo Qunfeng was shuddering with rage.
There were so many people in Jianghu who were dying to know him! But this guy Chen Xiaobei said that he would not even remember him! He was basically dismissing Qunfeng’s status as the core disciple of Kunlun Faction!
This was the first time in his entire life that Zhuo Qunfeng was shunned away like that. If it was not for saving his face in front of Luo Puti, he would have already attacked Chen Xiaobei.
“Ms. Luo! Why are you friends with such disreputable people? I’m so disappointed!” Zhuo Qunfeng got up from his seat, his expression dark. “If you still want to go on an expedition to the Black Desert, then come to my special-class car! Come alone! Vermin and dogs are not allowed to enter!”
Zhuo Qunfeng clicked his heels and walked away.
He had obviously seen through Luo Puti. He understood that she was determined to get to Black Desert so he used it as bait for the beautiful mermaid Luo Puti! Only back in his special-class coach where Chen Xiaobei would be separated from them, could he make romantic advances towards her.
“Xiaobei! What do you think you’re doing? Do you know who that person is?” Luo Puti started to panic.
“I do. He’s the pervert who was trying to hit on my wife!” Chen Xiaobei said, pursing his lips.
“Yes, he’s a pervert but he is the key to finding my parents! Offending him would mean that it will be a hell lot more difficult for me later in the search!”
“With me here, everything will go smoothly!”
“When are you actually going to stop causing me trouble? This is a dangerous expedition. The chances for survival are very low! I won’t let you come with me! You should go back now! I will go talk to Zhuo Qunfeng myself!”
“I won’t let the two of you be alone together! You’re in over your head. You let your heart get the best of you! Let me be curt with you. Your IQ right now is zero! If you try to negotiate with that guy, you will be at the losing end!”
“That’s my own problem! It has nothing to do with you!” Luo Puti said stubbornly. “Let me remind you, even if you can’t think for yourself, at least think about your parents! If you die, what will happen to them?”
“Silly girl! Do you think that I’m still the same guy I was at the martial arts competition?” Chen Xiaobei laughed. “I’m not bragging but that guy just now could not even handle one of my strikes! The places that he could bring you, I could bring you there too!”
“What? Zhuo Qunfeng won’t be able to… what?” Luo Puti frowned. “Do you really think that I would believe that lie?”
“I…” Chen Xiaobei was about to explain when his phone rang.
Ding!
[Xiao Tianquan sent you a message!]
Chen Xiaobei’s train of thoughts were cut off.
“Don’t follow me! I can handle my own business! I don’t need you!” Luo Puti said, with a splash of acid in her tone, and left.
She actually felt a stab of pain when she said this. She did not want to treat Chen Xiaobei like this but she could not bear the thought of bringing Chen Xiaobei with her to such a dangerous place.
She did not even know if she herself could ever return.
As long as Chen Xiaobei was safe, she could then leave the world peacefully.
“I’ll check the message first…”
Chen Xiaobei looked at his phone. They were reaching their stop soon anyway, so Zhuo Qunfeng could not possibly do anything stupid.
Xiao Tianquan, on the other hand, had texted him privately. It must be something urgent!
