99: Chapter 99 Okay, stop crying, or I'll hit you.

The two women's cheeks flushed slightly, but they still whispered, "Naturally, it is to serve the Marquis with his bath."

"A bath, is that proper?"

Kang Dalei teased them again. The disciples of Yuanchu Mountain were all geniuses from various places; they basically went up the mountain in their teens and then focused solely on cultivation. How could they withstand the teasing of a lecher? Soon, the two women's cheeks were as red as apples.

"Marquis, you can't do this."

"Be good. No one else will know, and I won't say anything."

"It's not allowed, Marquis. Before we leave the mountain, we aren't allowed to do such things. If our Master finds out, we will be expelled from the sect."

The two women finally managed to break free from Kang Dalei's embrace and hurriedly explained, fearing they might displease this newly appointed Marquis.

Yuanchu Mountain had strict hierarchies. Outside, they might be high and mighty Divine Venerables, but here, they were merely the lowest-ranking white-robed disciples.

"Oh, so Yuanchu Mountain has this rule? Is Mountain Lord Qin Wu still a virgin then?"

Kang Dalei suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but burst into laughter. However, before he could even laugh out loud, an indifferent voice drifted in from outside the room.

"If you still want to be this Inspector, you had better behave yourself."

A handsome man in a black robe with white hair, who looked three times as handsome as Kang Dalei, walked in from outside the door.

Upon seeing the man for the first time, Kang Dalei's heart broke.

He's actually even more handsome than me!!!

"Who are you!"

"Greetings, Master."

Seeing that it was Mountain Lord Qin Wu, the two women immediately bowed respectfully.

The man waved his hand, signaling the two women to leave.

After the two women left, his expression immediately changed as he said, "Kang Dalei, so you are Kang Dalei."

"Mountain Lord knows me?"

"I know, of course I know. The people complaining about you are going to drown me. If it weren't for Shuanger's sake, I would have already..."

At this point, Mountain Lord Qin Wu couldn't help but glare at Kang Dalei again, finally letting out a long sigh.

"You and that girl from the Bai family really know how to cause trouble for me. Killing Danyun and killing an Undying Realm Divine Venerable was one thing, but this time you even dared to kill a Marquis. Do you have any idea what the situation is like in our Cangyuan World?"

Mountain Lord Qin Wu was truly frustrated and disappointed. Killing some low-level Divine Venerables could still be suppressed given his status as the Mountain Lord of Yuanchu Mountain. But now, they had killed a Marquis. The key was that killing him was one thing, but they had also exposed all of his secrets, which directly threatened the interests of those aristocratic families. One had to know that behind those families stood the Imperial Court.

"Sigh..." After a few more sighs, Mountain Lord Qin Wu looked at Kang Dalei, feeling a wave of worry in his heart.

"If it weren't for your rapid growth, to be honest, even with Shuanger protecting you, you would have died hundreds of times over. Do you know that?"

Glaring at Kang Dalei again, Mountain Lord Qin Wu took out a small, pitch-black token and said, "Stop causing so much trouble for me. Also, don't think that just because you insta-killed my Marquis-level puppet, you're off the hook. Bring me back one hundred Demon King cores, otherwise, I will still take back the token."

The token was thrown out, and Kang Dalei caught it casually.

"Many thanks, Mountain Lord."

Mountain Lord Qin Wu didn't even bother to respond.

"If there's nothing else, get off the mountain immediately. Remember, without those Demon King cores, one year from now, I will definitely take back the token."

With a wave of his hand, space shattered. In the blink of an eye, Kang Dalei had already been sent to a small villa in Bu Ye City, beneath Yuanchu City.

"Creation Realm, so impressive. Kicking people out before they even finish speaking, what kind of hospitality is that?"

Thwack!

Just as Kang Dalei finished cursing, a package landed right on his forehead.

"Who is it, throwing trash around!"

Picking it up to look, it was the purple robe that the maid had brought when he was at Yuanchu Mountain, along with a token marked with the character 'Marquis'.

"What is this?"

"The Marquis's Purple Robe, the Marquis's Token."

An exclamation came from Bai Xuaner, who had just walked out of the room. She looked at Kang Dalei in disbelief, her hands covering her mouth.

"Rumor has it that only those who can reach the King-rank are bestowed with a purple robe, or a token. Kang Dalei actually has both; doesn't that mean..."

Thinking of something, Bai Xuaner's small mouth opened wide.

"Great-grandfather, did you know this guy would reach that realm, which is why you, why you asked me to marry him?"

Hearing Bai Xuaner's voice, Kang Dalei's eyes immediately lit up. Isn't there a well-connected person right in front of me?

"You know what this is?" Kang Dalei asked.

Bai Xuaner originally didn't want to pay him any attention. He had treated her like that earlier, and if she answered just because he asked now, wouldn't that be too spineless?

"I..."

Seeing Bai Xuaner turn her face away, hesitating to speak, Kang Dalei thought she was still angry about yesterday. So, he grinningly took out the rewarded xuanyuan armor, walked up to Bai Xuaner, and said, "Little Xuaner, don't be angry. Come see what your good brother has brought you."

Bai Xuaner reluctantly raised her head. Just as she was about to ask what he was doing, the yellow armor, radiating the pressure of a King-rank, made it impossible for her to look away.

"I, you, what is this?"

"Want to know."

Bai Xuaner nodded. Kang Dalei smiled triumphantly and began to brag.

"This is an ancient artifact from my hometown. It can enhance cultivation, and it can defend against thirty full-power attacks from a King-rank. I don't even show this to just anyone."

"Stop bluffing. Do you take me for a fool? It's xuanyuan armor, a top-grade divine artifact, not some item from your hometown."

Bai Xuaner huffed, pointed her finger at a line of small text engraved on the side of the xuanyuan armor's chest, and said angrily.

Seeing that she had seen through him, Kang Dalei awkwardly scratched the back of his head, but immediately returned to normal.

For Kang Dalei, being embarrassed for half a second was already giving plenty of face; this person's skin was already thick to the point of lawlessness.

"Little Xuaner, don't be angry. This is something I searched for a long time to find for you. Only you deserve such a good thing."

"Hmph, you know how to talk."

Bai Xuaner didn't hesitate at all. She snatched the xuanyuan armor from Kang Dalei's hand and stored it in her storage bag, as if afraid he would go back on his word.

Kang Dalei could only shake his head helplessly at this.

"It seems you have a deep misunderstanding of me."

"Let go of your hand." Bai Xuaner glared at Kang Dalei.

Kang Dalei happily removed his hand from Bai Xuaner's waist.

"I'm just apologizing to you."

"Apologizing." Mentioning this, Bai Xuaner felt incredibly aggrieved.

"I am a dignified young lady of a King-rank family. I accompanied you to this Yuanchu City and offended all the aristocratic families under heaven for your sake. Yet, for the sake of a, a bad woman, you made me wait outside the door for you all night. And you, you spoke to me like that. Do you have any conscience at all?"

The more she said, the more aggrieved Bai Xuaner felt.

"I have no spine, being bullied by you like that and still waiting here for you to return. Do you know how, how sad I was that night?"

"I know, of course I know." How could Kang Dalei not know about Bai Xuaner waiting for him outside the room all night?

"It's just that if I didn't do that, how would I know you were so sincere? Alright, stop crying, or I'll spank you."

"You dare."

Bai Xuaner glared angrily at Kang Dalei again, then suddenly threw herself into his arms and started crying.

"I thought, I thought you, you really didn't want me anymore. Your eyes at that time were so heartless; it hurt, it hurt so much."

Another burst of aggrieved crying. Bai Xuaner finally admitted that she had fallen for Kang Dalei.

It was just that Kang Dalei had acted this way only because he didn't want her to get too deeply involved in this matter. If Bai Xuaner went up to Yuanchu Mountain with him, it would mean declaring herself an enemy of the aristocratic families.
