Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Tang Tiantian was startled by Li Xiaoyao's actions and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"

Li Xiaoyao closed his eyes, contained his rage, and said, "Something's happened to Meng Meng."

…

They only gave him three days.

If he didn't get to the Qianye clan within three days, they would kill Meng Meng.

Li Xiaoyao booked a flight to Shui Country for that very day, and three hours later, the plane landed at Dongdu International Airport.

Ye County is located east of Dongdu, about two hundred kilometers away.

Counties in Shui Country are equivalent to provinces in Xuan Country, and the Qianye clan is located in Ye County.

That a city would be named after a family highlighted how powerful that family must be.

After getting off the plane, Li Xiaoyao didn't immediately head to Ye County; instead, he checked into a local hotel in Dongdu.

Not long after entering the hotel, there was a knock on the door. Li Xiaoyao went to answer it, and a beautiful, fair-skinned, long-legged woman stood outside.

"Hello, General Li, my name is Bing'er. Here is the information you requested," said Bing'er, stepping into the room as she spoke.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at her, took the information with a word of thanks, then turned and sat back down on the sofa to start reviewing it.

As Bing'er approached, she said, "General Li, I was ordered to go undercover in Shui Country to gather intelligence. However, I've been here too long and have attracted the attention of many powers. I claimed I came here to see my boyfriend, so, may I stay here tonight?"

"You sleep on the sofa," Li Xiaoyao said indifferently, without taking his eyes off the material.

Hearing this, Bing'er pouted and said in a coquettish tone, "The sofa it is, then."

Li Xiaoyao didn't pay her any more attention; the information was very detailed. It recorded all the major and minor events that had happened in Shui Country over the years. Except for some family secrets that might be unattainable, everything else was now in Li Xiaoyao's mind.

The Qianye Family was indeed very powerful.

During the fifties, their main business was shooting action movies, through which they sought profit for decades. In the eighties, the then Family Head of the Qianye, with great audacity, expanded the family's business to the Tongnan Continent region, mainly in Zhu Island City.

The first batch of erotic content in Zhu Island City was introduced by the Qianye Family, causing quite a sensation at the time.

The cost of printing erotic content was very low; a few provocative pictures of scantily clad women were enough for one book. Then, printing thousands of copies to be sold at newsstands.

At that time, besides the newspapers fully funded by the Qianye Family, the magazines printed by these newspapers couldn't compare to those of the Qianye Family.

The Qianye Family's magazines featured famous Shui Country actresses, with sweet looks and seductive poses, on moderately thick paper with clear pixels. In contrast, other newspapers' publications were roughly made and generally disposable after one use.

Eventually, the Qianye Family's business encountered crackdowns from the Mist Country Government, and most of their operations were withdrawn back to Shui Country, with only a few family members remaining in Zhu Island City to seek new business opportunities.

During the nineties up until the turn of the millennium, Zhu Island City's property market boomed, netting the Qianye Family another hefty sum. Even now, they earn billions a year from their Zhu Island City commercial real estate holdings.

Closing the materials, Li Xiaoyao felt a poignant respect for the intelligence and audacity of the last Clan Leader of the Qianye Family.

From the materials, it was clear that the Qianye Family wasn't only influential in business; they were also consistently training Cultivators within their ranks.

The three individuals from the Qianye Family he had encountered in Muze City's club were Cultivators.

Having gleaned a general understanding of the situation within the Qianye Family, Li Xiaoyao felt no particular worry.

The Qianye Family is indeed powerful, but it still falls short of the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country by a level.

In the deep silence of the night, Li Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in his room, cultivating. Bing'er was bustling about, engaged in some activity or other.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a cry from Bing'er rang out.

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed, and he walked over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Bing'er, who was wearing almost transparent sleepwear, clung to him, her face showing fear as she said in a weak voice, "General Li, I'm so scared."

Li Xiaoyao frowned and asked, "What are you scared of?"

Bing'er looked up with her pretty face looking pitifully endearing.

"I just watched a horror movie, and I'm really scared."

Horror movie...

Li Xiaoyao was somewhat speechless but still comforted her by saying, "If you're scared, then don't watch them. Sleep with the lights on."

But Bing'er clung tightly to his robust waist, and in a soft voice asked, "General Li, can I... sleep with you?" she added quickly, "I promise I won't do anything to you."

"Just sleep with the lights on." After saying that, Li Xiaoyao pried her hands off of him and turned to head back to his room.

"General Li!" Bing'er called out in urgency. When Li Xiaoyao turned around, he saw Bing'er pulling back on her transparent sleepwear, revealing a body as perfect as if sculpted by God.

Shedding her clothing, Bing'er approached him with what seemed like shyness and said, "General Li, Bing'er has always admired your legend. I have kept myself pure for twenty-six years, only wishing to offer myself to a hero like General Li. I hope General Li can fulfill this wish. Please be assured, Bing'er will not cling to you afterwards."

Li Xiaoyao looked at her nearly perfect body, a cold sneer in his heart, and with an indifferent glance, without a word, he turned and entered the room.

"Bang!"

The firmly closed door represented Li Xiaoyao's stance.

Bing'er stood at the door, a bit stunned, and then a sense of humiliated anger surged within her.

Even though Li Xiaoyao hadn't uttered a single word, this behavior made her feel even more humiliated.

Bing'er had always had great confidence in her own body, believing that once she undressed, Li Xiaoyao would pounce on her like a hungry wolf. However, he was so indifferent. She could clearly feel the coldness emanating from Li Xiaoyao's eyes just now.

It was as if her body had no attraction for him at all, as inert as wood or stone.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

Li Xiaoyao, as a cultivator, opened his eyes and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Below was a dense jungle of modern buildings, the roads congested and the pedestrians hurrying.

Li Xiaoyao could guess the reason behind Bing'er's actions the night before without much thought.

Women with strong utilitarian motives do not hesitate to use any means to get what they want. Even if obtaining these things comes at a significant cost, they consider it worth the price.

Li Xiaoyao, a young Major General at only 28, was also a powerful cultivator; either identity was worth Bing'er's sacrifice.

As for her claim that she would not entangle him afterwards, that was pure nonsense. By saying this, she aimed to lower Li Xiaoyao's guard so that once the deed was done and the rice had become porridge, Bing'er's autonomy would become evident.
