“You asshole! Why did you drag me here?” Luo Puti was blushing violently although the toilet was otherwise unoccupied.
“We’ve been husband and wife for so long,” Chen Xiaobei said as he forced her into one of the cubicles. “Why are you still so shy?”
“Tut! I’m not your freaking wife!” She retorted angrily. “Don’t try to take advantage of me!”
“I have seen your whole body and touched the naughty bits as well. What advantage is there, still?” Chen Xiaobei replied, his mouth twitching.
“You… You f*cking asshole…” Luo Puti snarled, her teeth gritting and her face a bright crimson.
She had grown just a little fond of Chen Xiaobei after he stood up for her at the airport just now. However, after being pushed inside a cubicle against her will she had an urge to charge and bite Chen Xiaobei. Unbeknownst to her, he had taken out the bellyband from his treasure chest when she was not really paying attention.
“Don’t be mad. I really do have something for you!” Chen Xiaobei offered her the bellyband, holding it out reverently with both hands.
“What’s this?” Luo Puti reached out to the item in curiosity, before exploding once she touched the bellyband. “You bastard! Deviant! You’ve been carrying a woman’s underwear with you all this while?! Tell me honestly, where did you steal it from?”
In present day China, there are specialized thieves known to aim for women’s underwear – and it was clear that Luo Puti had quickly lumped him together with those lowlifes.
“Honey, that’s uncalled for!” Chen Xiaobei said innocently. “I didn’t steal it, it’s a magical item crafted by a powerful Daoist!”
“Stop calling me honey!” Luo Puti glared at him furiously, before calming herself and look at the bellyband carefully. It was beautiful aqua blue bellyband, and one which material escapes her. She held it – it felt thin, almost weightless, cool to the touch and smooth like water!
“It’s… extraordinary!” Luo Puti had seen and came across many things in her life, but nothing compared to this bellyband. She could not stop herself from admiring its quality.
“It is. Quick, put it on! Not only would it nourish your body, it also protects you from physical harm. Things would get wilder after the DNA results – I’ll be less worried if you have this bellyband on you!”
Luo Puti pursed her lips. She was hesitant about wearing an underwear especially when it was given by a man; she had a reputation to protect as the Ice Demon Queen after all!
Nonetheless, every girl in this world cherishes beauty – and Luo Puti was one of them. That was why she wanted to wear it while satisfying her own curiosity about its special effects.
“I’ll trust you this time… Wait outside!” She pushed him out of the cubicle before trying it on.
“This feels cozy…” Luo Puti uttered in surprise when she finally put it on. Her skin could feel the comfort of the silky sheet and the light breeze produced by the Qing Lian Divine Silk, revitalizing her as if she was at a hot spring bath. It was as if her worries and anxieties were gone too!
Furthermore, the breeze from the bellyband resonated with her ice attribute cultivation. Her body, mind, and true Qi melded with the piece of clothing, and she quickly decided that she would never take it off until she died. Arguably, the only flaw of the bellyband was that it made the wearer ridiculously seductive. As if a second layer of skin, it accentuated her voluptuous to greater heights – any man who saw her wear it would turn into a beast.
Luo Puti put on her shirt before leaving the cubicle and stuffed her own bra into her bag. It was very likely that she would never put it on again.
“Honey, you look even more beautiful now!” Chen Xiaobei beamed when she finally left the toilet.
“Rubbish! How would changing clothes change my looks too?” She stared at him incredulously.
“My goodness! So, a woman really needs to be nourished by man… Just a short while in the toilet and Shijie Luo’s skin looks so much better!” Lin Yufei said in surprise.
“Nourishment? Stop fooling around!” Luo Puti shot back, but was stunned when she took out a mirror to look at herself. Gaping, she saw that her fair skin was had somehow improved! Luo Puti turned to Chen Xiaobei and simply stared at him, astounded and speechless.
“Well, anyway… Sorry to say this but your hubby is quite weak – I mean, he only lasted for three freaking minutes… He is the Flash when it comes to lovey-dovey stuff!”
What the hell!
Chen Xiaobei was stunned. Lin Yufei apparently thought that Chen Xiaobei had a romp with Luo Puti in the toilet, and it only lasted for three minutes!
“Oh god! My reputation is ruined!” Chen Xioabei wanted to find something to bang his head on and die.
*Pfft*
Luo Puti completely forgot to explain herself when she saw his reaction; she started to giggle before bursting out in raucous laughter.
“Why are you laughing?! She thinks your hubby is the Flash!” Chen Xiaobei was frustrated; he was completely unable to explain his innocence.
“I have the results.” A doctor wearing a white laboratory coat walked towards them with a clipboard in hand. Wu Tianhe and Bai Libin quickly joined them and gathered around the doctor.
“The DNA result proved that the owners of these two sets of DNA are family,” the doctor announced before handing the report to Luo Puti.
Luo Puti glanced at the report before showing it to the others. “Everyone, please verify the results.”
All of them did, and confirmed that Chen Xiaobei was indeed their objective’s kin – although only he and Luo Puti knew that Lin Xiang and Lin Nan were the real progeny.
“From now on, we need to protect Chen Xiaobei whatever happens.” Luo Puti said gravely as she put away the report. “We’ll face a lot of threats on the way back to Dragon City. So let bygones be bygones, and focus on the mission!”
Wu Tianhe and the rest nodded, showing their intention to work together and protect Chen Xiaobei. They soon left the hospital and headed towards the airport.
Unbeknownst to the others, one of them had already sent a message to the chief inspector of the Six Doors Organizations.
[Target confirmed! It’s Chen Xiaobei!]
