"What's up?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

His first master rarely spoke to him like this. Usually, he would just give a direct order. For him to mention negotiating, it seemed that what he was about to say was no small matter. Therefore, Lin Xiao was especially curious about what his master wanted to talk about.

"Considering what happened to Su Qingning today, a few of us discussed it. You should tell her that if she's willing to sleep with you, we're willing to give her a company worth no less than five hundred billion!"

Lin Xiao was somewhat speechless.

"Old man, is this what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"What else? If you weren't dilly-dallying and being so ineffective, would we have to resort to such a desperate measure?" the master replied, disgruntled.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "Don't you guys rush me. I intend to spend a lifetime with her, not just one night. What's the point of sleeping with her once? I want to sleep with her for a lifetime!"

His master instantly flipped out. "Kid, are you out of your mind? You're passing up a girl from such a prestigious family and insisting on marrying one with no background?"

"You've been single your whole life, so you don't know squat. What I'm after is love, understand? Love. Besides, I'm already one of the most powerful men in the world. Do I still need to form an alliance with some so-called distinguished family?"

His master was left speechless by Lin Xiao's retort. He desperately wanted to argue, but he just didn't know how. Because he felt there was nothing wrong with what Lin Xiao had said. The kid indeed had an extraordinary background now. There was no one in the whole world with a more exceptional standing than him. If that was the case, then he truly didn't need to seek marriage with someone from a so-called distinguished family.

"Fine, forget I said anything. But I must warn you, Su Qingning is a juicy piece of meat right now. Many people still don't know your cultivation is within her Dantian. If they find out, countless top-notch experts will come to fight for it. Take her down while you still have the situation under control."

"I know. You don't need to worry about this. If you have time for this, you might as well go make more money for me."

"Damn it, I'm not your servant!" the master cursed.

"Yes, yes, you're not my servant, you're my master. Happy now?"

"Hmph, that's more like it. Get a move on!"

Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to waste any more words with him and hung up the phone. He glanced at Su Qingning and saw that she was still ordering takeout.

Lin Xiao continued to wash the dishes, but his master's words lingered in his mind.

That old man wasn't wrong. If others learned that my cultivation was now within Su Qingning's Dantian, the entire martial world would instantly be thrown into bloody chaos. After all, if someone could acquire my cultivation, it would truly be a meteoric rise. They might not become invincible, but they would undoubtedly become a terrifying existence. It looks like I really do need to get my cultivation back as soon as possible to prevent things from getting complicated. If someone actually managed to steal it, I'd be miserable for the rest of my life.

After some thought, Lin Xiao decided he would speed things up as soon as her period was over.

Having made up his mind, Lin Xiao quickened his pace washing the dishes. After a busy half-hour, everything was finally tidy. Su Qingning was still placing her order. Lin Xiao sat down beside her and pulled her into his embrace.

"Still not done ordering?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Almost!" Su Qingning replied.

"Don't order too much. We might not be able to finish it all!"

Su Qingning obediently agreed and then continued with her task.

Lin Xiao wasn't concerned with that anymore; his attention was now focused entirely on her. After all, with such an enticing beauty in his arms, it would be a crime against the heavens to care about anything else.

Initially, Su Qingning didn't notice anything unusual. She was just thinking about properly celebrating with Chu Xiangxue tonight. But soon, she sensed that something was off. That scoundrel Lin Xiao's hand was roaming all over her body.

By the time she realized what was happening, Su Qingning's face instantly flushed red, and she quickly grabbed his hand, stopping the rascal from continuing his mischief.

"Honey, you focus on your business, don't mind me!" Lin Xiao said with a smile near her ear.

"You're so annoying!" Su Qingning pouted. "How can I focus on anything else with you doing that!"

"Then how about we take a break?"

"No, I'm almost done. Besides, it's that time of the month for me. Can you please stop?" Su Qingning pleaded, her face full of bashful embarrassment.

Seeing her pitiable expression, Lin Xiao didn't have the heart to make her uncomfortable. So he said, "Honey, I can agree to that, but you have to promise me one thing in return!"

"What is it?"

"After your period is over, we're going to finish what we started today, okay?"

Su Qingning's face instantly turned as red as an apple. Of course, she knew exactly what Lin Xiao meant by 'unfinished business.' To put it plainly, it was what they were doing in bed before her period started.

"You're terrible! No! I'm tired, I'm going to go rest!" With that, she tried to bolt.

It wasn't that Su Qingning didn't want to be with Lin Xiao. She just knew that being with this scoundrel was a dangerous affair. She didn't want to put herself in an uncomfortable position while on her period, so she tried to escape.

But Lin Xiao wasn't about to give her that chance. He grabbed her arm.

"Honey, don't go. Don't worry, I'll behave. Let's talk about your bar, shall we?"

Hearing Lin Xiao mention the bar roused Su Qingning's interest. After all, that bar was her everything right now, and she naturally wanted it to thrive.

She settled back down again, her peach-blossom eyes fixed on Lin Xiao. "What do you want to say?"

"It's like this, honey. Are you still planning on using the bar to take back the Su Corporation?"

Lin Xiao had given the matter of the Su Corporation some thought over the past couple of days. He felt that the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it wouldn't be worth much even if Su Qingning managed to get it back. It would be better for her to let it go sooner rather than later and not waste any more time on it. After all, she was a talented businesswoman.

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Su Qingning nodded. "That's my biggest goal right now."

Lin Xiao was about to continue trying to persuade her, but Su Qingning went on, "I know what you're going to say. I also know that the Su Corporation might not be as glamorous as it seems right now. I've even heard that its financial situation is terrible. But Lin Xiao, the Su Corporation was founded by my parents. No matter how bad things get, it's still my parents' child, and I have to get it back. I think that's what my father would want to see!"

With her having said so much, Lin Xiao could only nod helplessly.

Su Qingning seemed about to say something more, but her phone suddenly rang. The call was from her mother.

Su Qingning quickly answered it. "Mom, where are you?"

There was a hint of panic in her mother's voice. "Ning'er, I'm in Jinhai City. What's wrong?"

"I—I'm fine, Ning'er. You need to find a place to hide, hide where..."

Before she could finish, the line from her mother went dead.
