Was Lin Xiao a pervert?

Of course, he was.

If he weren't, with his cultivation and willpower, how could he have been so easily pushed over by Su Qingning when they first met?

If he weren't a pervert, why would he be so obsessed with the thought of seeing Su Qingning in black stockings, a short skirt, and high heels?

But was Lin Xiao really a pervert?

Of course not.

If he were, how could he have remained indifferent when Chu Xiangxue and Shao Mei'er threw themselves at him?

The reason he suddenly said such a thing was simply to ease the subtle, tense atmosphere between him and Su Qingning.

Yes, Lin Xiao didn't want Su Qingning to be so subservient around him. In his eyes, love should be a partnership of equals. Although Su Qingning had been deeply distrustful of him before, she was slowly starting to change her impression of him. Many things just take time, and Lin Xiao was willing to give her that time.

As expected, Lin Xiao's sudden condition practically fried Su Qingning's brain.

She couldn't keep up with his train of thought at all.

Just a moment ago, he was the man who had filled her with guilt, yet in the next second, he had turned back into a scoundrel.

However, Su Qingning had to admit that his words had instantly lifted her spirits.

She wiped away her tears and said haughtily, "Hmph, in your dreams!"

"Dammit, I knew you'd say that!" Lin Xiao grumbled, looking utterly defeated.

Seeing his expression, Su Qingning felt a sudden urge to laugh.

But she didn't.

Instead, she stood on her tiptoes and whispered something in his ear.

Lin Xiao's eyes bulged like saucers before lighting up with unconcealed delight. He looked at Su Qingning in amazement.

"Honey, are you serious?"

With a blush on her cheeks, Su Qingning nodded slightly.

"When that happens, I still want you in high heels and a miniskirt!"

Flustered, Su Qingning gave him a light, playful punch.

Lin Xiao just chuckled slyly.

"Alright, go on in and have fun. Remember to drink less. Your body can't handle it right now."

"I know, I'm not drinking!"

Lin Xiao boldly wrapped his arm around her and planted a smacking kiss on her fair cheek.

Then, whistling a tune, he strode down the stairs.

Watching his retreating figure, Su Qingning suddenly smiled.

A sweet feeling completely filled her heart, though even she didn't know why.

After leaving the bar, Lin Xiao was stunned by the scene before him.

Damn, Chu Xiangxue's charisma is really incredible.

The entrance to the massive bar was now a sea of people. It was so crowded there was barely any room to stand. Normally, Lin Xiao would be thrilled to see so many customers. After all, this was all money.

But he was a little worried. There were simply too many people. It was so dense that it was enough to trigger anyone's claustrophobia.

Lin Xiao squeezed his way out of the crowd and called Chu Xiangxue.

She answered quickly.

"You... Master, any instructions?" Chu Xiangxue's enchanting laughter came through the phone.

"There are too many people outside the bar now, and they're most likely here to see you. I'm afraid that if this continues, there's going to be trouble. And if something happens, it'll be a serious issue. You should show your face and say hello. After all, they came for you!"

"Good point! I'll go greet them now!"

"Right, but whatever you do, don't come down. I'm worried these crazed fans will swallow you whole!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

After hanging up, Lin Xiao walked over to Pei Donglai, who was nervously trying to maintain order.

"Good work," Lin Xiao said.

"Captain, you're too kind. This is my duty!" Pei Donglai replied respectfully.

"Yeah, there are too many people. Tell the guys to be on high alert!"

"Understood!"

As he spoke, Pei Donglai was already relaying the orders through his headset.

"Oh, by the way, how did those three scumbags disappear?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

Pei Donglai smiled. "Captain, I have a potion. It's magical stuff."

Lin Xiao understood immediately. He had heard of such things from his fourth master, the Sect Master of Immortal Medicine, so he wasn't surprised.

Patting Pei Donglai's shoulder, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "You handled that well. I'll give you a raise for this later."

Just as Pei Donglai was about to respond, the window to Su Qingning's office suddenly swung open.

A moment later, Chu Xiangxue's head popped out.

"Hello, my friends! How are you all doing?" she called out with a smile to the fans gathered at the bar's entrance.

The previously noisy entrance fell instantly silent.

But a second later, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted.

Countless people raised their phones, tilting their heads up to look at Chu Xiangxue.

Excitedly, she waved to the crowd with both hands.

Just then, a few overzealous fans suddenly tried to rush into the bar. The security guards at the door were quick on their feet, immediately shutting the main entrance. A few fans getting in wasn't a problem, but it would be a disaster if everyone charged inside.

Chu Xiangxue clearly saw the commotion at the entrance. She knew all too well what terrifying consequences such a situation could lead to.

She quickly shouted again, "Hey, can you all behave, please? If you behave, I'll sing you a brand-new song that I'm about to release."

Another wave of thunderous cheers rolled through the crowd.

An idol's influence was truly powerful. With just one simple sentence, Chu Xiangxue successfully calmed the unruly mob. Though everyone was still looking up at her with immense excitement, the chaos subsided.

True to her word, Chu Xiangxue began to sing.

The moment she opened her mouth, Lin Xiao was floored.

I have to admit, fate has been incredibly kind to Chu Xiangxue. It gave her a nation-toppling beauty, a smoking hot figure, a background as solid as a mountain, and a heavenly voice.

Even though it was a cappella, Chu Xiangxue's voice was ethereal and enchanting. Even Lin Xiao, who didn't usually listen to music, found himself completely captivated.

No wonder Pei Yanzi considered Chu Xiangxue's songs to be her light in the darkness.

When the song concluded, the crowd erupted with thunderous applause, cheers, and shouts. Many began begging her to sing another.

Chu Xiangxue didn't disappoint them.

She began to sing again. This time, it was a love song—not about sweet romance, but about the agony of unrequited love.

Chu Xiangxue was clearly pouring her emotions into it, and her performance was even more moving than the first. Many in the audience were brought to tears.

For the first time, Lin Xiao realized that music possessed such magical power.

As the song ended, Chu Xiangxue shouted, "I'm going home now! You all should head home early, too. Thank you for coming to see me! I love you all!"

Of course, the fans didn't want her to leave just yet.

Chu Xiangxue said coquettishly, "Promise me you'll all be good, go home obediently, and eat your meals, okay?"

"Okay!" thousands of voices shouted in unison.

Chu Xiangxue smiled, waved one last time, then pulled her head back inside, vanishing from sight.

Lin Xiao had expected some of the more fanatical fans to try and storm the bar anyway. But to his complete surprise, not a single person tried to force their way in. The scene didn't devolve into chaos. Instead, someone started singing a line from what must have been a Chu Xiangxue song.

Then, countless others joined in.

Suddenly, the large area in front of the bar felt like a concert venue.

I have to admit, I kind of like this atmosphere, Lin Xiao thought. Too bad I don't know her songs, or I'd definitely join in.

As Lin Xiao was enjoying the moment, his phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Xiao Shixiong.

Lin Xiao answered it.

Xiao Shixiong's grim voice came from the other end.

"Boss, we have a problem."
