385: Chapter 380: Not a Companion Fruit…
Ye Tian noticed that Wang Bingbing’s attitude was somewhat milder today, so he wrapped his arms around her slender waist.
“Little maid, would you keep your master company today?”
As he spoke, Ye Tian brought his mouth close to Wang Bingbing’s and gently kissed her on the face, to which Wang Bingbing did not resist.
“However, I still hope you can be more sociable!
Stop being the Ice Queen.
When you have the time, you should go camping with friends.
If you stay in the ice bar all the time, your breasts will sag, and your figure will warp, you know!”
Ye Tian said this with a smile, and Wang Bingbing was now somewhat displeased.
“What about my breasts is any of your business?”
“How is it not my business?
The image of a little maid decides the face of her master.
I do hope my little maid will wear leather outfits and carry herself like a queen—don’t sell yourself short!”
“…”
Faced with Ye Tian’s teasing, Wang Bingbing didn’t stop him, and Ye Tian took the chance to get a bit closer to her.
After leaving the Ice Bar, Ye Tian returned to the villa.
Haste makes waste.
Since Wang Bingbing had already said that she could find the person who took the Companion Fruit tomorrow, there was no need for him to rush.
After staying at the villa for a while, Yun Xinyan finally came back…
“Ye Tian, you actually skipped work today, I’m going to dock your pay!”
Although the poison from the Seven Emotions Fruit had not yet taken effect, Yun Xinyan’s mental state was somewhat affected, making her mood less than ideal.
As soon as she got home and saw Ye Tian lying lazily on the couch, she couldn’t help but scold him.
“Good wife, every man has a few days each month when he’s tired!” Ye Tian smiled and replied.
Knowing that Ye Tian had started being absurd again, Yun Xinyan ignored him.
She was already very tired and went to take a bath.
After the bath, Yun Xinyan came out wearing a nightgown, her exquisite figure making Ye Tian green with envy.
“Wife, you look so beautiful!” Ye Tian complimented her.
“Thank you.”
Yun Xinyan still responded coldly to Ye Tian, who stepped forward and gently kissed her, then went to the kitchen to cook.
“It seems the sun is rising from the west today!”
Yun Xinyan was a bit astonished, not expecting Ye Tian to actually make dinner for her.
“Everything for my wife!
Everything for my wife!”
Ye Tian said as he went into the kitchen to get busy.
Yun Xinyan hadn’t believed that Ye Tian could cook anything tasty before, but when they went camping in the mountains, Ye Tian perfectly handled a tiger and grilled unforgettable delicious tiger meat.
Only then did she realize that Ye Tian’s culinary skills were indeed brilliant.
This time was no different—Ye Tian personally cooked two dishes and a soup for Yun Xinyan, which she found even more delicious than those made by the highly paid chefs at Yun Corporation.
“Ye Tian, what can’t you do?”
In the eyes of women, a man who can cook is the most charming.
At this moment, Yun Xinyan too was attracted by Ye Tian.
“Hmm, let me think…”
Ye Tian pretended to ponder seriously, then, he came up with an answer!
“Now it seems there’s one thing I can’t do, so wife, you have to help me with this!”
“What thing?” Yun Xinyan asked, curious.
“Having twins, wife!
Let’s settle on that!”
“Drop dead!”
Yun Xinyan glared fiercely at Ye Tian.
The guy just couldn’t say anything nice—his mind was full of filthy thoughts…
However, because Ye Tian was wary of the poison from the Seven Emotions Fruit inside Yun Xinyan’s body, he didn’t do anything to her that night, and they went to sleep early.
Meanwhile, in a secret room in Jiang City, Lin Tao, the third master of the Lin Family, was discussing plans with his subordinates.
“Master Lin, the family has responded.
A master can arrive within three days, and by then, we guarantee that Ye Tian won’t have a plot of ground to be buried in!”
Behind Lin Tao, a bodyguard reported the details carefully, and as he listened, a murderous look flashed in Lin Tao’s eyes.
“Finally, I can get my revenge!”
As the third master of the Lin Family, Lin Tao had been hiding in this secret room for quite a while.
He had never experienced such humiliation in his life.
And all this humiliation was caused by Ye Tian—so Lin Tao couldn’t wait to tear him to pieces!
“Congratulations, Master Lin!
That guy is as good as dead now!”
Bei Dong, whose Chinese was not very standard, egged him on at Lin Tao’s side.
He was well aware that there were many masters within the Lin Family, each with formidable combat abilities, even capable of confronting armies.
No matter how powerful Ye Tian was, he couldn’t possibly compete with the masters of the Lin Family!
“But I can’t just keep waiting, I wish that guy would die right now!”
Lin Tao said fiercely.
In his view, even a deadline of “within three days” seemed too slow; if possible, he wished Ye Tian were already torn apart.
“Go!
Arrange for some assassins!
Kill Ye Tian!”
Lin Tao commanded his bodyguard, and the bodyguard immediately nodded in acknowledgment.
“At your command, Young Master Lin!”
Bei Dong hurried to curry favor, saying, “Young Master Lin, it seems that there is no need for the experts to make a move, these few assassins will be enough to take him down!”
“Humph, humph, humph, humph~~~~~~~~”
Lin Tao couldn’t help but sneer.
“Even if that guy is formidable, is he more so than an assassin?
I’ll just hire a few formidable assassins, set an ambush on the road he’ll pass, and be able to kill him!
…
Of course, if the guy is lucky enough to dodge this calamity, I won’t worry, because by that time, the Lin Family’s experts will have arrived too.
Once an expert takes action, they will be able to eliminate Ye Tian!
Whatever happens, I won’t let that guy off easy!”
As Lin Tao spoke, he slammed his hand on the table forcefully, causing his broken arm to ache once again due to the exertion.
While Lin Tao and his men were secretly plotting to get rid of Ye Tian, Ye Tian had already gotten up early.
Yun Xinyan had gone to the company, and after waiting a while, Ye Tian received a phone call from Wang Bingbing…
“The person has arrived, come to Ice and Snow Bar as soon as possible!”
“Okay!”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Tian immediately made his way nonstop to the Ice and Snow Bar.
Since it was early, the roads were clear and there was no traffic congestion.
Upon arriving at the Ice and Snow Bar, Wang Bingbing immediately took Ye Tian down to the basement.
There, Ye Tian saw the young man from the photo yesterday.
“Are you the one who went to the deep mountains near Jiang City to pick the Companion Fruit a couple of days ago?”
Ye Tian asked coldly.
The young man seemed terrified by Ye Tian’s aura and hurriedly replied, “Big brother, I don’t know what’s going on, but I really didn’t do anything bad!”
It was evident from the young man’s panicked expression that he was telling the truth.
It appeared he had accidentally wandered into the deep mountains and, just as unwittingly, picked the Companion Fruit.
After leaving Jiang City for other places, he had been brought back by Wang Bingbing’s people.
Given his age, he naturally assumed he had committed a crime or offended some powerful figures.
“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you, but you need to hand over the fruits you picked in the mountain!”
Ye Tian continued, and the young man quickly handed several fruits to Ye Tian.
“These are the ones I picked…
I’m a botanist.
I thought the fruit looked novel, couldn’t find it in any identification guide, so I picked it to study it…”
The young man explained further, and Ye Tian learned the whole story.
However, when Ye Tian saw the Companion Fruit delivered by the young man, his expression darkened…
Although they looked nearly identical to the real Companion Fruit, they were not the genuine Companion Fruit but just a similarly looking fruit.
They were ineffective as an antidote for the Seven Emotions Fruit’s poison.
“What’s wrong, is there a problem?” Wang Bingbing noticed Ye Tian’s concern and asked anxiously.
“No, the search for the Companion Fruit must continue!” Ye Tian stated coldly.
“What about this person?”
Wang Bingbing pointed to the young man who was now scared senseless.
“Let him go, but tell him to head back to the outside regions immediately.
He cannot stay in Jiang City a moment longer, nor can he speak of today’s events!”
Ye Tian said coolly.
Wang Bingbing nodded and whispered a few words to the young man.
Upon hearing this, the young man nodded quickly and dashed out of the Ice and Snow Bar’s basement…
Ye Tian walked out of the Ice and Snow Bar feeling somewhat disheartened.
Two days had passed, yet there was still no trace of the Companion Fruit.
If this continued, Yun Xinyan’s poison from the Seven Emotions Fruit would take effect, and not even gods could save her then!
Before he knew it, Ye Tian found himself on the main street.
“Stop right there!”
Someone said fiercely, prompting Ye Tian to halt.
Out of nowhere, a few burly men surrounded Ye Tian, with the ringleader being none other than Lin Tao’s henchman Bei Dong!
“Ye Tian, today, I’ll see where you can run to.”
Bei Dong stood in front of Ye Tian arrogantly, proclaiming his intent.
“…”
At this moment, Ye Tian, not in the best of moods, didn’t say a word upon seeing Bei Dong leading a group of tall and strong assassins to corner him.
Seeing Ye Tian silent, Bei Dong’s smugness grew even more!
“Realized how formidable we are, huh?
Humph, humph, humph, humph~~~~~~~~ This is what happens when you cross the Lin Corporation, when you cross me!
Today, I will surely beat you to death right here!”
Being out on the main street didn’t stop Bei Dong from boldly declaring his intention to kill, naturally drawing the disapproval of the onlookers.
In a society governed by law, under the light of day, how could someone kill another person on the street?
“What are you looking at?
Keep staring, and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs!”
Bei Dong, who was not from this country and accustomed to acting with impunity in his own, where killing was commonplace, directly threatened the onlookers.
The crowd was intimidated by Bei Dong; who would dare to stop this group of killers from taking a life?
