Beauties. A room full of beautiful women in revealing clothes.

Five or six of them, all dressed in cool, revealing attire, were in the middle of a drinking game in the private room. Chu Xiangxue's arrival was met with a chorus of cheers, which grew even louder when they saw Lin Xiao.

He instantly felt like he'd walked into the Land of Women.

Chu Xiangxue giggled and said to Lin Xiao, "They're all my best friends. I wanted to introduce you!"

Lin Xiao laughed and shot back, "You don't want to introduce me, you're putting an old soldier to the test! What kind of old soldier could withstand an ordeal like this?"

PFFT!

The women all burst out laughing, tumbling about on the sofa. Chu Xiangxue herself was doubled over, so amused she couldn't keep her legs together.

Once the laughter died down, she said, "Don't worry, a few real men will be here later. You won't feel awkward!"

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, if it really was just a bunch of women, he wouldn't have a clue what to do.

To be fair, Lin Xiao wasn't someone with social anxiety, but the sheer number of beautiful women was overwhelming. And each one was dressed more revealingly than the last.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang. The call was from Su Qingning.

A jolt of joy went through him. He waved his phone at Chu Xiangxue and stepped out of the private room to answer. The moment he picked up, he heard Su Qingning's incredibly tender voice.

"Darling, what are you doing? Have you eaten?"

"I'm at a bar. I've already eaten. What about you?" Lin Xiao asked softly.

"Ah? You're at a bar? Did Chu Xiangxue take you?"

"Yes!"

"Hmph, you're not allowed to look at any other women, or I'll get jealous!" Su Qingning said with a cute pout.

Lin Xiao was amused. It was the first time he had ever heard her say something like that.

"You silly girl, my eyes and my heart only have room for you. I wouldn't even look at another woman. Besides, you're the most beautiful woman in the world. After you, who else could possibly be called a beauty?"

"Hmph, you sweet-talker!" Su Qingning chided playfully.

Despite her words, her heart felt as sweet as honey.

"Have you eaten yet?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"Mhm, I have!"

"What about Shen Jingzhe?"

"She's right here beside me!"

"Good. No matter where you go, even to the restroom, take her with you. Understand?"

"I know, I know! I'm not a three-year-old!" Su Qingning protested.

Lin Xiao chuckled. "Of course, I know you're not a three-year-old, but I can't help it that you're so beautiful. What if some creep tries to bully you?"

"Hmph, you're the biggest creep of them all! No one but you would dare bully me!"

"Fine, since you put it that way, you just wait until I get home. Then we'll see how I bully you!" Lin Xiao said with a wicked grin.

"Okay! Then you'd better hurry back so you can bully me!"

Holy crap. Her words sent a jolt through him, making him want to rush home right that second. If she was this captivating over the phone, what would she be like in bed? How unbelievably wild would that be?

He didn't dare let his thoughts stray any further.

"By the way, darling, how is Xiang Xue's grandfather?"

"He's fine now, of course. Take a look at who was on the case!" Lin Xiao said proudly.

Su Qingning giggled. "I knew my darling was the best!"

This is too much. Lin Xiao was really struggling to resist her allure. She was an absolute siren.

"Honey, how many more days until your period's over?" he couldn't help but ask.

Su Qingning let out a playful laugh. "You want to know? Then you'll have to come home. I'll tell you when you get back!"

He really couldn't take it anymore. The urge to go home was getting stronger and stronger.

Just then, Su Qingning's tone shifted. "Alright, darling, I have to get back to work. Take care of yourself over there!"

Lin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, you be safe. Call me anytime if you need anything!"

"Mhm, I will!"

Just as Lin Xiao was about to say something else, he heard a distinct *smack* from the other end of the line.

Damn. A blown kiss.

Lin Xiao's heart hammered in his chest.

"When you get back, I'll give you a real one," she purred, and promptly hung up.

Standing at the entrance to the private room, Lin Xiao took several deep breaths to force down the fire she had ignited within him.

He was just about to go back inside when he heard someone call his name.

Lin Xiao looked toward the voice and saw Cheng Shaoshang, whom he had met just that afternoon. He was striding over with several other well-dressed young men.

When the group reached him, Cheng Shaoshang pointed at Lin Xiao and announced with a laugh, "Come, come, you animals! Let me introduce you to a badass miracle doctor, Lin Xiao! He saved Xiang Xue's grandfather with a single needle. His medical skills are nothing short of divine!"

This was no exaggeration. Several of the rich kids immediately began showering him with praise.

However, one person remained silent. A handsome young man in the crowd did not join the chorus of flattery. He waited until the others were more or less finished before speaking in a flat, indifferent tone. "Xiang Xue really is thoughtless. She had a true divine doctor like my grandfather available, but instead she let some beggar treat Grandpa Chu. Wasn't she afraid he'd botch the treatment?"

Lin Xiao just smiled, his gaze landing on the speaker. "Your grandfather is also a doctor?"

"That's right. My grandfather isn't just a doctor, he's a member of the Immortal Doctor Sect!" the young man declared proudly.

"Your surname is Huang?" Lin Xiao pressed.

There weren't many people in all of Shengjing who could enter the Immortal Doctor Sect, and even fewer from wealthy families. Aside from the Huang Family, he couldn't think of any others.

The young man paused for a moment. "You know my grandfather?"

Although he didn't answer directly, it was a tacit admission.

Lin Xiao didn't answer his question either, instead posing one of his own. "What is Huang Xingcheng to you?"

"He's my older brother. Why?" the other replied arrogantly.

Lin Xiao smiled. "No reason. Let's go in. The ladies are getting impatient."

Cheng Shaoshang slung an arm around Lin Xiao's shoulder, grinning. "Brother, Huang Xingdong is just a prick. Don't pay him any mind!"

Lin Xiao calmly removed Cheng Shaoshang's hand from his shoulder. He scoffed dismissively, "Why would I? He's just a piece of trash, not even worth my time."

That remark struck a nerve. Huang Xingdong instantly exploded.

"Fuck! You stinking beggar, who the hell are you calling trash?"

"Whoever answers, that's who I'm talking to."

"Fuck, are you looking to die? Some damn beggar from who knows where dares to act tough in our Shengjing? Who the hell do you think you are!" Huang Xingdong roared.

Lin Xiao shot him a cold glance. "You know, your words are really starting to piss me off. How about this: get on your knees and kowtow a few times. If I'm in a good mood, I might just let this slide."

Those words were like gasoline poured on the fire in Huang Xingdong's heart. He instantly looked like a cornered, enraged beast. Staring at Lin Xiao, his fury was palpable.

"Fuck! You stinking beggar, I dare you! Touch me and see what happens!"

"You sure?" Lin Xiao asked with a cold smirk.

"Fuck! Go on, touch me! I dare you!"

SLAP!

Lin Xiao whipped a backhand slap across his face.
