Chapter 575: A Master on Par with Huang Quan
It seems Kristina and Sun Shixin don’t have a very good relationship.
Ye Xiu didn’t continue following the black Mercedes, instead finding a coffee shop nearby. After ordering a coffee, he replayed his encounter with Kristina in his mind over and over, trying to analyze her personality based on that one meeting.
In fact, Kristina had guessed wrong. Ye Xiu hadn’t hit Sun Shixin to lure her into making a move, but rather to test her relationship with him. However, from beginning to end, Kristina remained expressionless, and her azure eyes showed not the slightest flicker of emotion. This made Ye Xiu realize that Kristina was no simple character.
"May I sit here?"
At that moment, a gentle and calm voice sounded in Ye Xiu’s ear—a voice so enchanting it could make one’s bones go soft and hormones surge.
Ye Xiu was greatly alarmed. Someone had gotten close to him, and he hadn’t noticed at all.
Just as he was about to see who it was, the speaker sat down opposite him without invitation. She gave Ye Xiu a gentle smile and said, "Thank you!"
"There are plenty of empty seats in this coffee shop. Why choose my table?" Ye Xiu asked, sizing up the beauty sitting across from him.
This was a mature woman, as fully blossomed as Jin Lian. With an oval face, a ponytail, and skin as fair as cream, her looks were merely on par with someone like Jin Lian. She fell short when compared to a beauty on Qin Qing’s level, let alone Gong Jin or Kristina. But this woman possessed a captivating aura. With just one glance, Ye Xiu nearly fell under her spell.
The woman had a charming figure and was dressed very casually in loose-fitting jeans and canvas shoes.
"I like to sit with handsome men," the woman said with a faint smile. Her phoenix eyes roamed brazenly over Ye Xiu’s face and body, like a she-wolf lusting after his looks.
Being looked at like that made Ye Xiu’s heart race and his breath quicken. His mind reeled, and the experience thoroughly spooked him. This woman was actually able to make him lose his composure and put him on the defensive.
I have to take back the initiative!
"I won’t argue with that," Ye Xiu said with a shrug, already treating the woman as a worthy adversary and bracing himself.
The woman chuckled. "You’re not just handsome, you’re also quite funny."
"Everyone is tired. Go home and rest now."
As soon as she spoke, Ye Xiu watched in shock as all the staff and customers in the coffee shop left with vacant expressions.
Hypnosis? Or Special Abilities? For the first time in ten years, Ye Xiu felt like he had met his match. This woman is completely unfathomable!
"Now that everyone’s gone, let’s begin our spar," the woman said. "Since it’s a spar, there will be a winner and a loser. How about we bet on something?"
Ye Xiu’s mouth twitched.
Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!
Ye Xiu took three deep breaths to steady himself before asking, "Alright, what’s the bet?"
"If I lose, I’m at your disposal. If you lose, you give me the Dragon Sparrow Sword," the woman said.
Ye Xiu’s expression changed instantly. "You..."
"Don’t deny it. I can sense the aura of the Dragon Sparrow on you," she said, reaching out to cover his mouth and cut him off.
"You..." Ye Xiu’s gaze sharpened. It turned out their meeting here wasn’t a coincidence; she had been following him all along.
Impressive. In ten years, she was the first person to track him without being discovered.
He asked, "You were on your way to the airport to pick up Kristina but arrived late. On the road, you saw my conflict with Sun Shixin, and then you followed me all the way here, right?"
This time, it was the woman’s turn to be surprised. "Not only are you handsome, but your mind is also sharp and your logical thinking is extraordinary. That’s right. Everything you said is correct."
So it’s true! This woman is really from one of the three Judicator Families! It seems I’ve underestimated them.
"What’s wrong? Now that you know who I am, are you afraid to bet with me?" the woman challenged, her fingers provocatively lifting Ye Xiu’s chin.
"The word ’afraid’ isn’t in my vocabulary. Let’s do it!"
Looking as if she had Ye Xiu completely in her grasp, the woman took out a revolver, emptied it of all its bullets, and then loaded a single one. She gave the cylinder a spin and said, "Six chambers, one bullet. We’re betting our lives. Do you dare?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Ye Xiu snatched the revolver, pressed the muzzle to his temple, and pulled the trigger five times without a shred of hesitation. Then, he handed the gun back to her and taunted, "Your turn."
The composure finally vanished from the woman’s face. She stared at Ye Xiu in shock. "You’re far too bold! Firing five times in a row... weren’t you afraid you’d kill yourself?"
Heh. Even if I pulled the trigger six times, the bullet wouldn’t fire... Ye Xiu chuckled to himself, but said aloud, "The next shot has the bullet. Are you going to concede, or are you going to commit suicide?"
"You win," the woman conceded, adding a word of caution. "The Dragon Sparrow Sword is a Demon Sword. Don’t use it."
The woman turned and fled, but just as she reached the door, her vision blurred, and Ye Xiu was there, blocking her path.
"You’re not getting away," Ye Xiu said with a cold laugh.
