49: Crazy Beauty

Grace was a standard West Continent beauty.

Golden hair and blue eyes.

Fair skin.

A high nose bridge.

If she were in the entertainment industry, her looks would definitely be considered top-tier.

Yet, this very beauty had another nickname in the dark world!

—Ghost!

Meaning a top-tier assassin who kills without a trace!

Feeling the gazes of the two people beside her, her expression didn't change much.

Only the look in her eyes as she gazed at Qi Lin burned with fanaticism!

However, few people knew that what she truly pursued was not Qi Lin, but power!

Only power greater than hers could make her submit!

When Qi Lin single-handedly crushed her assassin group during a mission, Grace became deeply infatuated with his formidable strength!

Qi Lin, when he took Grace under his wing, also realized that this girl was a complete madwoman.

From beginning to end, she had never truly pledged allegiance to anyone; she only submitted to superior strength.

When he had crushed their opposing faction, Grace actually still had some people with her.

If she had seized the opportunity to organize a counterattack, everyone else would have likely died at their hands, except for him.

If she had wanted to escape, even Qi Lin couldn't guarantee he could catch her.

Her agility, earning her the nickname Ghost, was no joke!

However, to Qi Lin's surprise, Grace turned around and killed everyone on their side!

She walked out herself, expressing her desire to follow by Qi Lin's side!

At that time, Qi Lin could tell that there was something mentally unstable about this woman.

However, considering their urgent need for manpower, and her public pledge of allegiance, coupled with his strength being sufficient to suppress Grace, he agreed to take her in.

Since then, Grace would seek out Qi Lin for one-on-one fights whenever she had the chance.

However, as a child of destiny, Qi Lin possessed the blood of a Qilin, making him a born martial arts prodigy!

In just three short years, he broke through the Ming Jin (Initial Stage) realm!

He stood at the pinnacle of the dark world!

Although Grace's talent was good, she was no match for Qi Lin.

After being defeated for a long time, she eventually stopped looking for trouble.

She quietly settled down and began to honestly help Qi Lin with his tasks.

Over time, everyone thought that Grace had been subdued by their boss!

Coupled with the fervent look in her eyes when she gazed at Qi Lin, almost everyone believed that Grace harbored special feelings for their boss!

However, Qi Lin's heart only held the woman named Qu Huaixuan, leaving no room for anyone else!

......

Seeing that the time had come, Qi Lin took his luggage and walked towards the airport.

The third brother beside him couldn't help but say, "Grace, are you just going to watch Boss go back to that woman?"

"Once he leaves this time, who knows when he'll return!"

The taller second brother beside him didn't speak, but he also looked at Grace, his meaning clearly the same as his companion's.

They had not failed to investigate Qu Huaixuan.

With Qi Lin constantly mentioning her, they easily obtained her information.

She was just an ordinary person; how could she be worthy of their boss?

More importantly, she knew nothing about the dark world; the two were simply not a good match!

Regarding this matter, these subordinates had not said little.

However, Qi Lin was very firm.

Helplessly, they could only pin their hopes on Grace, hoping she could keep their boss.

Grace glanced at the two of them and said in broken Alliance language, "There's nothing I can do to change what he wants to do."

With that, she turned and left.

She didn't care what Qi Lin did.

Her goal was to defeat him!

To become stronger!

Other matters had nothing to do with her!

......

Modu, Chen Family.

Bai Muning leaned against Chen Tianming, wearing the reward she had received from the system's gacha draw: cat ears, a cat tail...

A bell hung around her neck, and she wore a pair of claws on her hands.

Leaning against Chen Tianming's shoulder, her entire body trembled as if she had been electrocuted...

After a long while, Bai Muning's body suddenly relaxed.

Her eyes, like silken threads, said, "Husband, that electric current just now made my soul feel like it was flying..."

At this moment, she looked at Chen Tianming's finger with great curiosity.

Chen Tianming's lips curved slightly upward.

"Your husband can do more than just discharge electricity..."

As he spoke, he extended his finger, and before Bai Muning's astonished eyes, vines, barely thicker than yarn, slowly appeared and grew, intertwining and extending...

Bai Muning was now his woman, and he had long since taught her ancient martial arts cultivation techniques.

It was fine to let her witness his current ability, which currently only served for entertainment.

Bai Muning's small mouth gaped in shock, saying, "This... Husband, is this your superpower?"

"Not just that!"

Chen Tianming's lips curved upward.

Metal manipulation.

Although he currently couldn't cause large deformations in metal, such as turning a random piece of metal into a long sword, he could still manage some subtle changes...

Chen Tianming grabbed the cat tail.

Bai Muning hadn't understood what he meant.

The next second, her eyes widened...

......

Later, Chen Tianming drove Bai Muning home.

After a session of ancient martial arts guidance, the Female Lead's legs trembled, and she could barely walk on her own, so he had to take her home.

When he dropped Bai Muning off at the Bai family home, Bai Fu (Bai's father) warmly invited him to stay for dinner.

Over such a long time, he had naturally heard about Chen Tianming.

Previously, Bai Fu (Bai's father) had thought his daughter was too much of a homebody!

Unless he forced her, she usually didn't attend any gatherings and didn't get to know some excellent young people from prominent families.

If she hadn't been a girl, it wouldn't have been impossible for Bai Fu (Bai's father) to simply kick her out.

Who knew that in the blink of an eye, his daughter had become the woman by the Chen Family Young Master's side!

When he found out about this, he almost split his sides laughing!

For these great families, to put it bluntly, both men and women, once they reached a certain age, were tools for family alliances.

Since Chen Tianming didn't intentionally conceal it, people from these great families all knew that Chen Tianming had many women by his side, and all of them were stunning beauties!

However, even so, as long as they could establish a connection with him, it was a gain!

The Chen family's power was simply something other families in Modu couldn't even compare to!

Even the Four Great Families—no, it should be called the Three Great Families now—all combined were the same!

The world's largest financial conglomerate was not to be trifled with!

However, in Chen Tianming's eyes, only Bai Muning mattered.

Now that Bai Muning was asleep, eating here would be a complete waste of time.

Therefore, after some pleasantries, he drove away alone under Bai Fu (Bai's father)'s reluctant gaze.

Giving the Bai family some benefits for Bai Muning's sake was fine, as it was mutually beneficial.

But if they wanted to completely tie him down, that could only be called wishful thinking...
