Chapter 147

Editor: Sahloknir

Shi Qing hovered at Song Xiabing’s side. His handsome face was twisted with anxiety.

“Say something, won’t you? What’s happening to you? Fuck, is it some sort of internal injury?!”

Song Xiabing gritted his teeth. He glared at the man in front of him like he wanted to eat him alive.

“You, you were actually…”

“What? What did you say? Speak up, I can’t hear you.”

The man even caringly put his ear near Song Xiabing’s lips.

The young man struggled to suppress the flames of fury burning him alive. Vivid scarlet adorned the corners of his lips.

“Was the Phantom Fox in you the only reason you were so nice to me?”

Was there not even a modicum of love?

Even just a bit.

Shi Qing blinked. “Of course not, ah.”

He patted his firm chest with a proud look on his face.

Who knew why he was proud of himself.

Anyways, he happily answered, “Human hearts are all made of flesh. Even if I looked down on you before, how could I not have developed some feelings for you after spending so much time together?”

Song Xiabing’s eyes lit up a little.

His heart also settled down somewhat.

He knew it.

Of course this was the case.

How could there possibly be nothing at all…

As soon as the young man’s mood eased, Shi Qing patted him on the shoulder with a big grin.

“I sincerely think of you as my little brother now.”

Song Xiabing: “…”

Zhou Xuanxuan exclaimed, “Crap he’s spitting up more blood!!!”

The man’s eyes widened as Song Xiabing spewed out blood like a faulty ATM. Droplets of vivid scarlet dripped from the corners of his mouth.

Shi Qing was so scared he couldn’t smile anymore. Like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand, he put a hand over the young man’s mouth to try and block the outflowing of blood.

No one felt up to laughing at the silly sight.

Shi Qing was in a real panic. His eyes were glued to the blood gushing from Song Xiabing’s mouth. While plugging the orifice, he looked at Zhou Xuanxuan who was by the door.

“What are you still standing around for? Hurry up and get a doctor!” Shi Qing roared before turning back to yell some more at Song Xiabing. “Why’s that head of yours filled with all this nonsense? Trash like you should just stay put and relax! Now you’ve even made yourself spit out blood. For Christ’s sake, can’t you just live normally so Laozi doesn’t have to worry about you all the time? Why are you so damn weak, ah!”

Zhou Xuanxuan was about to die of fright.

Grandpa, read the atmosphere, okay?!!

Haven’t you noticed Song Xiabing giving you a glare like he wants to hack you to death?!

His body’s radiating dark mist, okay?!!

As in literally radiating dark mist, ah!!!

And these tendrils of dark mist seemed to have a mind of their own. Outside, the areas they &#k2018;swallowed’ began disintegrating at various paces.

Zhou Xuanxuan was too scared to move, much less go find a doctor.

If he wasn’t careful, the black mist out there would ‘swallow’ him next.

The corners of Song Xiabing’s mouth stopped leaking blood.

He moved his fingers slightly and looked at the man who was nervously patting him all over. The surrounding black mist responded to his anger and rose.

By now, the room was completely bare. The roof was the only thing left.

He had advanced.

He had literally advanced a level out of sheer rage.

His body became lighter after advancing, but the fury in his heart weighed it down just as much as before.

“What are you looking at? Say something already! What the hell is wrong with you??”

Shi Qing’s mood worsened when he noticed how Song Xiabing was coldly glaring at him. Things got worse when he turned and saw Zhou Xuanxuan was still standing there.

“Come on! Just because you like pretending to be a woman doesn’t mean you have to be as indecisive as one! Didn’t Laozi tell you to go find a doctor?!”

Zhou Xuanxuan trembled in place, not daring to move a muscle. He carefully glanced at the black mist surrounding him and gulped.

“Um…Shi Qing, ah…”

The black mist violently surged in front of his face. Zhou Xuanxuan hastily closed his eyes and changed his wording. “Boss, Boss!!”

“Boss…I think you should carefully reflect on your relationship with Song Xia…Song-ge.”

The man had question marks all across his face. “What the hell???”

Zhou Xuanxuan kept his eyes closed as he spouted a bunch of nonsense. “Don’t you think Song-ge is handsome and good tempered? He’s been pretty nice to you too. Why don’t you just oblige him?”

After hearing that, Song Xiabing slowly closed his eyes and suppressed his anger. When he opened them again, he was that calculating and calm young man once more.

He had never been fooled like this before.

And the most pathetic part was that Shi Qing didn’t even intend to mislead him.

Song Xiabing’s first reaction was to kill him.

But he couldn’t bear to.

Shi Qing…

How could he let go of the warmth once he had experienced it?

“Boss, he’s right.”

Song Xiabing’s voice was once again gentle. He withdrew a tissue from his lapel and gently dabbed the blood coming from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, the black mist that filled the entire room also dissipated.

Zhou Xuanxuan’s whole body sagged as he sighed with relief. Only now did he realise that his back was already completely drenched with sweat.

He hastily shielded his hair and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. “That’s right, that’s right, Boss! Just be with him. There’s no point in resisting.”

“What? What do you mean by ‘be with him’??”

The man wrinkled his eyebrows, looking between Zhou Xuanxuan and Song Xiabing.

Then a look of dawning realization crossed his features. He immediately roared, “No way!!”

Flames circled around Shi Qing’s body. The man in the flames had disdain on his handsome face. “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

When Song Xiabing saw that the man now understood, his heart was strangely comforted.

He had already known that Shi Qing would never agree. With a gesture, black mist emerged from thin air and headed straight towards Shi Qing.

It ever so carefully engulfed the flames around him without touching the other party.

“You! How could this be?!!”

Shi Qing seemed shaken as he looked at Song Xiabing incredulously. “I’m level seven. How could you possibly…”

The expressionless young man approaching him sent Shi Qing into a panic. He quickly summoned more flames.

But no matter how much he brought out, they all ended up devoured by the black mist.

Shi Qing could only watch as Song Xiabing walked step by step towards him.

Ruthlessness flashed across the tall man’s eyes. His hand reached across his waist before suddenly stabbing towards Song Xiabing’s shoulder. However, his opponent quickly caught his wrist with ease.

—Clink!

The knife in Shi Qing’s hand fell to the ground.

Not discouraged, Shi Qing glared defiantly at the young man before him. His wrist was held in an iron grip by those slender and seemingly weak fingers. He was unable to break free no matter how hard he struggled.

Song Xiabing looked at the man in front of him. Shi Qing’s always arrogant eyes were now filled with rage, disbelief and betrayal.

“Song Xiabing!! What do you think you’re doing! Have you gone insane?”

He’s still acting tough at this point?

The young man smiled coldly as he commanded a wisp of black mist to head for one of the support beams in the room.

Shi Qing could only watch as a hole appeared soundlessly in that beam. It was large enough to see the stars at night.

The Blazing Thunder Company’s captain: “…”

The young man’s lips quirked up at his subdued expression. His cold smile became gentle. Even his voice quietened as he coaxed, “Boss, don’t you value your life above all else? The only way you’re leaving alive today is if you cooperate with me. It’s your choice.”

He could clearly see the fear appearing on Shi Qing’s face.

Immediately afterwards, a look of resignation and humiliation crossed the features of the man he had firmly restrained. Shi Qing turned away slightly, saying through gritted teeth, “Fine. I’ll cooperate.”

—Ba-dum, ba-dum!!

It was like his heart started beating again at this moment.

Song Xiabing settled down at a rate visible to the naked eye. At the door, Zhou Xuanxuan relaxed as well.

Finally. Shi Qing had agreed.

His hair was saved.

Then he noticed the indignant look on Shi Qing’s face. “I’ll let you be the boss and follow you from now on! Is that what you want?!”

“Fuck, looks like I’ve gotten rusty. How come Laozi didn’t see how much of a white-eyed wolf you are…”

Zhou Xuanxuan: “…”

He could only watch as the recently stabilized Song Xiabing blanked out before laughing out of anger.

Fuck me.

To try and salvage this situation, Zhou Xuanxuan quickly shouted, “Shi Qing, are you an idiot?! Song Xiabing isn’t after your position, he’s after your body!!”

The man was confused.

Then his eyes widened.

He started struggling desperately.

“Fuck you, you’re into men! Laozi’s not having any of this!! Not even if you castrate or kill me!! Zhou Xuanxuan, you bitch, stop standing around and come help me, ah!!”

Zhou Xuanxuan: “…”

He felt that he was definitely going to die today.

On the other hand, Song Xiabing didn’t react much.

Maybe he was numb from being pissed off too many times.

He stared as the man he subjugated squirmed and twisted wildly. From this angle, he could briefly see the other’s honey coloured skin from time to time.

Song Xiabing reached out and took hold of the big, fiery-red tail that was struggling along with its owner.

“Wu!!”

The man who was struggling like a fish out of water just moments before stiffened before crumpling bonelessly.

Song Xiabing smoothly caught him.

Shi Qing: [Heeheeheeheee. It’s time for my favourite part again. Tongtong, you can go back now.]

“Boss, don’t be afraid.”

This time Song Xiabing didn’t hold back at all. He brushed the tail this way and that until all the fur had puffed up.

“Get lost!! Get lost…ugh!”

Naturally, the man in his arms could only struggle and roar sporadically. With one last hoarse cry, Shi Qing was completely drained of energy.

The seemingly weak young man picked him up effortlessly. There was an insane look in his bloodshot eyes as he leaned in close to the man’s ear and whispered

“Don’t worry, you’ll still be the Boss of Blazing Thunder from now on.”

“But never try to leave me again.”
