Chapter 453: Chapter 323: Covetous Intent, Reaching an Agreement

When Tian Yushi walked into the bar, she immediately drew countless covetous gazes.

The reason was simple: she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her pure, lotus-like aura, in particular, set her in stark contrast to the heavily made-up, provocative women scattered around the bar.

The people in the bar had never seen anything like it, and they all stared at her, dumbfounded.

Despite being stared at by so many predatory eyes, Tian Yushi showed not the slightest hint of shyness or panic.

She strolled gracefully to the bar, tapped lightly on the counter, and said to the equally stunned bartender, "Get me a drink!"

"Uh... Right!" The bartender snapped out of his daze and hurriedly began to prepare it.

Just then, a skinny young man with hair dyed a rainbow of colors sidled up to her.

"All alone, sweetie?" the man said with a sleazy grin, his eyes filled with amazement at her beauty.

Up close, he could truly appreciate Tian Yushi’s astonishing beauty.

Her delicate, palm-sized face alone was enough to make one’s heart ache with protectiveness.

Her slender waist and long, straight legs only added to the powerful visual impact.

Tian Yushi’s gaze shifted, and she glanced at the man.

"I am. What of it?"

That one glance sent a jolt through the man, making him go weak in the knees. He felt a wicked fire ignite within him, and his eyes filled with greedy lust.

He couldn’t wait to sit down next to Tian Yushi. He called out to the bartender, "Get me a drink—your best. And put her drink on my tab, too."

As he spoke, he shot the bartender a meaningful glance.

The bartender understood immediately and quickly brought over two drinks.

"Here. A toast to you, from me."

The man took one glass and handed the other to her.

As he did, his finger brushed lightly against the rim of her glass.

The move was extremely subtle and incredibly fast. In the dim light of the bar, it would have been nearly impossible for anyone else to notice.

It was a move the man had used to prey on countless women, ruining who knows how many of them.

But compared to the woman before him, with skin as white as snow, all his previous conquests seemed plain and vulgar.

’If I could get her into bed... I can’t even imagine how incredible it would feel.’

’I could even sell her for a good price after I’m done with her.’

At the thought, a fiery heat surged through the man. He wished he could force the drink down her throat right then and there.

In response, Tian Yushi simply smiled. She reached out with a pair of delicate, slender hands and picked up the glass.

"Well, thank you, then!"

"Don’t mention it, don’t mention it! It’s just a drink." The man’s face was a mask of pure enchantment. He didn’t even notice the faint red line that had appeared in the whites of his eyes.

He was completely fixated on Tian Yushi. When she finally downed the entire drink in one go, he was overjoyed.

"Sweetie, it’s too noisy in here. I know a much better place. Want to come with me?"

"Alright. Where to?"

"Just come with me!"

Excitedly, the man grabbed the tall barstool in front of him. To everyone’s astonishment, he began to grope it, a look of pure obsession on his face.

"Sweetheart, your waist is so slender... just like a pole! I’m crazy about you!"

With that, the man eagerly began to strip, putting on a truly eye-searing performance for all to see.

The commotion drew everyone’s gaze. Even the male stripper on stage stopped dancing. They all stared in shock as the man "played."

A moment later, with a low grunt, a foul-smelling spray of blood erupted from him.

In the blink of an eye, the already skinny man shriveled up as if he were a skeleton, his cheeks hollowed and his eyes devoid of light.

And yet, his face was still frozen in a look of bliss.

"Sweetheart, I like you so, so much..."

With those last words, he collapsed to the floor, dead.

At the same time, cries of alarm erupted from outside the bar.

"AAAAAH! SOMEONE’S DEAD!"

It turned out that just moments before, the two hulking guards at the door had suddenly put on a show of their own for everyone, a sordid gay spectacle. The result was the same as the man inside: they died of depletion.

The bizarre deaths made everyone’s hair stand on end. No one dared to look at Tian Yushi again; they all gave her a wide, respectful berth.

Anyone who could make it in a place like this was no fool. They understood that these two sudden, bizarre deaths had to be connected to the woman before them, the one who looked as pure as a white lotus.

Beauty was tempting, but not as tempting as staying alive.

Tian Yushi’s smile never faltered. She turned to the bartender, who was now scared out of his wits, and said, "Another drink, please."

Sweat poured down the bartender’s face. He didn’t dare utter a word, simply beginning to mix the drink with trembling hands.

Just then, thankfully, the sound of footsteps approached, followed by a voice as solid as a mountain. "You’re dismissed."

The bartender looked as if he’d received a royal pardon. He gave Xue Zhanhu a nod and then scurried away.

When Xue Zhanhu appeared, the once-raucous bar fell silent.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief and quietly backed away.

Xue Zhanhu walked straight behind the bar. His nearly three-meter-tall frame made him look like an iron tower.

Tian Yushi wasn’t tall to begin with, and standing next to Xue Zhanhu, she seemed even more petite and fragile.

This contrast was beyond ’Beauty and the Beast.’ It was more like a loli and a troll.

Even so, Tian Yushi showed no fear. She simply raised her head and looked up at Xue Zhanhu with a smile.

"Gang Leader Xue, would you care to buy me a drink?"
