Lin Xiao grinned.

"Get lost? You mean tumble in the sheets?"

Su Qingning was so furious she wanted to bite him.

"You scoundrel! From now on, you're the security guard for this bar!"

"I won't do it!" Lin Xiao flatly refused.

Damn it. I'm wealthy enough to rival nations and powerful enough to dominate the world. I'm only one step away from being invincible, yet this woman actually wants me to be a security guard.

"Hmph, then let's get a divorce!" Su Qingning said coldly.

Lin Xiao felt so angry he could spit blood, but he didn't dare to lose his temper. He could only respond with a forced smile. "Actually, I've always aspired to be a security guard. Honey, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

Seeing Lin Xiao fuming but unable to retaliate made Su Qingning feel incredibly satisfied. That's what you get for harassing me, you scoundrel.

"Hmph, go report to Xue Long!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

After leaving the bar, Lin Xiao was about to find Xue Long when his phone suddenly rang. The call was from his second master, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

"Second Master, you miss me already?" Lin Xiao asked cheerfully.

"You brat, you got married?" an ancient and ethereal voice came from the other end of the phone.

Lin Xiao wasn't surprised that his second master knew about this. After all, the Heavenly Machine Pavilion was the world's foremost intelligence organization. They were naturally well aware of his every move.

"Yeah. So, what wedding gift are you planning to send me?"

"A gift? My ass! Do you not know you have a marriage agreement? Or have you forgotten what kind of constitution you have?" his Second Master demanded angrily.

Lin Xiao whined, "Second Master, you think I wanted this? I was forced into it."

"Bullshit! You're a prodigy in both medicine and martial arts. The seven of us old geezers combined are no match for you, so how could some girl drugged with an aphrodisiac possibly threaten you? I think you just saw a pretty face and got ideas."

"Second Master, what kind of person do you take me for? I, Lin Xiao, am a man of integrity! How could I be swayed by mere beauty?"

"Hmph. Divorce her. Divorce her immediately. Otherwise, we'll tell Xiao Man you got married and let her deal with you."

Lin Xiao shivered. That girl is my senior brother's daughter—the Human Emperor's daughter! She isn't old, but she's an absolute little terror.

"Second Master, I was wrong! It's not that I don't want a divorce, it's just that I can't right now."

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten about my constitution?"

On the other end of the line, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion trembled. "You little rascal, don't tell me ninety percent of your cultivation has already entered Su Qingning's body."

"You're a genius, Second Master!"

"What a disaster! In that case, just come clean with her. Reveal your identity and tell her to offer herself to you. Tell her she'll receive an astronomical sum as compensation if she's willing."

Lin Xiao said gloomily, "If only it were that simple. But Second Master, I promise you, as soon as I get my cultivation back, I'll divorce her."

"And when will that be?"

"It should be very soon. After all, with my immense charm, what woman could resist?"

His Second Master chuckled. "That's true. Well, hurry it up."

"Understood!"

His Second Master hung up, and Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn it, I'd better not find out which bastard told Second Master about this. If I do, I'll beat the crap out of him.

「The King of the Southern Town suddenly sneezed.」

Lin Xiao turned and entered the security room, where several guards were playing poker.

"Who is Xue Long?" Lin Xiao asked.

A brawny man's gaze fell on Lin Xiao. This was Xue Long, the security captain for Su Qingning's bar. He looked Lin Xiao up and down with disdain before asking indifferently, "What's up?"

"You're Xue Long?" Lin Xiao inquired with a smile.

"That's right."

"Oh, I'm here to report for duty."

"Report? What do you mean?" the man asked again.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "It means that from now on, I'm a proud member of our bar's security team. Please look after me, Captain Xue."

Xue Long let out a sinister laugh. "Look after you? No problem. But buddy, how can I do that when you've come empty-handed?"

"What do you mean, Captain Xue?" Lin Xiao asked, feigning ignorance.

Xue Long grinned. "Here's the deal. Go across the street and get me two cartons of Imperial Nines. After that, I'll be sure to *look after* you."

"No problem," Lin Xiao replied, holding out his hand.

"What's this for?" Xue Long asked, his voice turning cold.

"You asked me to go buy cigarettes, didn't you? Where's the money?"

The room erupted in thunderous laughter. Everyone stared at Lin Xiao as if he were an idiot. Xue Long, in particular, laughed so hard his stomach ached.

"Kid, you don't know how things work, do you? If that's the case, I can't look out for you. In fact, I'm afraid our humble little security team has no room for you."

Lin Xiao was secretly delighted. He didn't want to be a security guard anyway.

"Are you serious, Xue Long?"

"Yes, I'm serious!" Xue Long sneered.

Lin Xiao smiled. "Alright, I'll go talk to Manager Su right now!"

At those words, a cold glint flashed in Xue Long's eyes.

"Stop right there!"
