Chapter 431: Why Bother
Gurgle...
Watching the heart-shaking scene unfold before him, Xia Liu forcefully swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva.
What did he see!
Zhang Xiaoman, like Liu Lanxin, was also running towards the mattress and, on the way there, she tore off her top.
Another expanse of pale, striking, and tender, attractive skin.
Xia Liu could clearly feel the blood in his body speeding up, even reaching a boiling sensation.
At this moment, the room was filled with the smell of alcohol, and the youthful scent of two distinct sources.
Xia Liu secretly channeled the Five Elements Mantra, using spiritual energy to guide and calm his boiling blood.
Sharing the same mindset and similar figures, the two women turned over just as Xia Liu was regulating his energy and purifying his mind.
Pfft!
Because he pulled out the second Spirit Stabilizing Needle, Xia Liu's blood was extremely vigorous, and the moment he saw what was revealed, blood sprayed from his nose.
Suddenly, Xia Liu saw the corners of the women's mouths turn up slightly, and he frowned, "Are you two playing with me!"
"It's over, it's over, just keep pretending!" Both women thought to themselves at the same time, then writhed on the bed, acting as if they were as unconscious as drunkards.
"I'm out, you two should get some rest."
Bang!
The room door closed, and both women opened their eyes at the same time, all looking dumbfoundedly at the door. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
Xia Liu actually left!
He left in front of two girls!
And these two girls were drunk, acting over-the-top, yet he still left!
Was this an example of a gentleman's utmost self-control, or could it be thought of as impotence?
"It's all your fault!" Zhang Xiaoman pointed at Liu Lanxin and shouted angrily.
"Hmph! If it weren't for your stupidity, would Xia Liu have left? It's all your fault!" Liu Lanxin retorted undaunted.
"Brother Xia Liu has been interested in me for a long time, and he even said he would marry me after I graduate. What about you? The other woman! No, that's not right! You're probably the Nth woman!"
"What a joke! You may have known Xia Liu earlier, so what? I witnessed Xia Liu's growth. His love for me is countless times more than for you."
"Oh please, with those two fried eggs of yours, no wonder Brother Xia Liu isn't interested!"
"Pah! Clearly, you're the one obstructing my relationship with Xia Liu! Also, some of your 'indescribableness' is already turning purple!"
"What! I'm going to strangle you!" Unable to endure Liu Lanxin's excessive jest, Zhang Xiaoman angrily made a move.
How dare she speak of her purple! If so, she would make sure Liu Lanxin couldn't get any more purple!
"Sigh... why bother." Outside the room door, Xia Liu shook his head helplessly.
Indeed, why bother, not just saying it to Zhang Xiaoman, or to Liu Lanxin, but also to himself.
Why all this trouble, was it because he was afraid?
Perhaps.
Although Xia Liu was very excited, sometimes when one needs to be restrained, one must be restrained.
Currently, he already had six girls by his side.
If he hadn't come out just now, that number would have become eight.
It didn't matter to him whether there were ten or eight, what he cared about was that Liu Lanxin and Zhang Xiaoman might face unpredictable dangers because of their deep interactions with him.
The Underground Assassin World had already taken notice of him. Those hidden in the shadows would surely not miss any opportunity to kill or threaten him.
```
Setting aside the world of assassins, the two martial artist families in Yanjing would definitely seek him out.
Though they were merely third or fourth-tier families, in a place like Huaxia with numerous rules and regulations, being entangled by them would also bring a considerable amount of trouble.
Having just graduated, they were still in their youthful prime, and perhaps they would soon meet someone suitable, who deeply loved them.
Not experienced with society, he couldn't ruin their lives right away.
Even if he did want to take them in, he would have to wait until the recent troubles had calmed down.
Perhaps during this time, they might find someone truly suitable for themselves…
Musing, Xia Liu wandered into his room. Sleeping was out of the question now. The troubled man sat cross-legged and began to cultivate the Five Elements Mantra, hoping to break through to the pivot level soon and remove the third Spirit Stabilizing Needle. By then, maybe he would be able to do as he pleased…
At dawn, Xie Liu opened his eyes.
It was early, yet there was already noise downstairs. Xia Liu washed up and went downstairs to see Mo Wanqing, apron tied, making breakfast.
"Xia Liu, didn't you sleep last night? You're up so early?"
"I slept well. Is it that Aunt Qing, you came back from overtime work in the morning?" Xia Liu's gaze swept over Mo Wanqing and sensed that her body seemed a little weak, her steps faintly unsteady.
This was a sign of staying up late. Although she tried her best to hide it, she couldn't escape Xia Liu's discernment.
"You've noticed. There was indeed a bit of a problem at the company yesterday, but it's okay, I can handle it. I came back and on a whim decided to make you breakfast," Mo Wanqing said with a slight smile, carrying a tray out of the kitchen.
"Hm? What happened at the company?" Xia Liu felt that the issue was unusual. A troublesome matter that made Mo Wanqing stay up all night must be significant.
"It's nothing to worry about. I've almost dealt with it. Let's eat first. I'll go check on Xiaoman and Lan Xin."
"Alright then." Xia Liu felt somewhat helpless. He wasn't boasting—when it came to business, he knew a thing or two, and he was certain he could help Mo Wanqing if he put his mind to it.
If it involved something shady, then it would be even easier to handle.
"Wait, Aunt Qing!" Just as he was eating his noodles, Xia Liu suddenly remembered Zhang Xiaoman and Liu Lanxin's actions from the previous night. He immediately called out to Mo Wanqing, fearing what she might think if she saw the state of the room.
However, his voice was a bit too late. Mo Wanqing had already knocked on the bedroom door a few times, and after hearing no response, she reached out and turned the doorknob…
"This…"
When Mo Wanqing saw the disarray in the room, the clothes strewn all over the floor, and even the fragments of undergarments.
A wave of embarrassment instantly surged through her.
Fortunately, she was quite experienced and regained her composure in less than ten seconds.
"Not bad, Xia Liu. But I still need to remind you, although it's great to be young, if you don't know restraint, you'll regret it when you get older." Seeing the two women still hugging each other and sound asleep, Mo Wanqing quietly closed the door and finally looked at Xia Liu with a laugh.
"Aunt Qing, do I look like that kind of beast to you?" Xia Liu knew it would turn out this way. If he had realized Mo Wanqing was about to open the door earlier, he wouldn't have said anything.
Now he felt a frustrating sense of a thief crying 'stop thief.'
"No, you don't," Mo Wanqing seriously nodded her head, then added, "Yeah, right."
…
Xia Liu didn't respond to the topic anymore and shifted his attention to the problem Mo Wanqing faced yesterday.
This topic indeed shifted Mo Wanqing's focus, but she only responded vaguely, revealing no relevant clues.
Xia Liu was helpless about this.
After Xia Liu finished his noodles, sharp cries erupted from the room where Liu Lanxin and Zhang Xiaoman were sleeping.
After hearing this, Mo Wanqing gave Xia Liu a resentful look and quickly headed to the room.
"Liu Lanxin! You actually held me while sleeping!"
"You did the same to me! So disgusting!"
