Murong Xingchen turned around, while Qi Bei’s expression became serious.
“Starfall gets 20%, then what about the Blood Wolves and Shadow Clan?” Murong Xingchen asked. She didn’t believe that Qi Bei would just hand over this big piece of cake without reason.
“Blood Wolves is already under my control, and as for Shadow Clan, I haven’t dealt with them yet, but I think that day will come soon enough.” Qi Bei smiled lightly, with the meaning of prosperity for those who followed him, and destruction for those who opposed him.
Murong Xingchen was silent for a moment, unable to guess Qi Bei’s intentions.
“You’re suspicious even when I give you benefits. Well, let me tell you the truth. On one hand, I like you…” Qi Bei’s serious expression turned ambiguous again after a short while.
Murong Xingchen instantly looked away and gazed outside the window.
“On the other hand, you still have a trump card. You have the strength to get a share of these benefits,” Qi Bei said. He remembered Yan Ling’s words that if he angered the Star Master, he would regret it. Facing her now, he felt that Yan Ling’s words might not have been a threat because he felt a sense of danger.
“Do you want to know my trump card?” Murong Xingchen asked.
Qi Bei laughed and shook his head. “I don’t want to. We are not enemies now, we are partners. Perhaps, if you want, we can go further.”
Murong Xingchen’s eyes curved, it looked like she smiled.
Qi Bei walked forward and pushed her wheelchair downstairs. Under the astonished gaze of the patients, he led her out of the clinic.
Outside, the snowstorm had stopped at some point, and warm sunlight broke through the thick clouds and fell on the silver-white snow.
Murong Xingchen squinted her eyes slightly, feeling the rays of light shining on her. She realized that she had not appeared in the sunlight for a long time.
Thirteen and Xiao Jiu’s figures appeared in front of the window on the second floor, staring at the figures of Qi Bei and Murong Xingchen.
“She’s an elf, and a rare dual elemental mage of space and spiritual magic. Unfortunately, her physique…” Xiao Jiu whispered softly.
“Is poisonous, right? Every part of her body, including every strand of hair, contains a deadly poison. Master kissed her and was fine. Could it be that the True Dragon Bloodline can really resist all poisons?” Thirteen said.
“Perhaps.” Xiao Jiu nodded.
“Master is really a sentimental person. He has never lacked women around him, hehe.” Thirteen laughed.
“Shut up, they are going far away.” Xiao Jiu whispered, and disappeared into the air.
Thirteen was not really angry since he ranked lower than Xiao Jui, so he also followed suit by disappearing.
When the snowstorm stopped, the West Spirit City gradually came back to life from the dead silence. Each shop opened its door, busy cleaning up the snow in front of the store, and there were more pedestrians on the street. The biggest difference between West Spirit City and other cities was the identity of the pedestrians. These pedestrians were basically not ordinary people, but adventurers and mercenaries with considerable strength.
Therefore, the probability of conflicts was much higher than in ordinary cities. Everyone here was hot-blooded and quick to fight. A word could start a fight, and a fight could draw blood. As such, it was normal for people to die in West Spirit City.
Qi Bei pushed Murong Xingchen down a street and saw over a dozen conflicts, with five people dying on the spot. It was clear that the chaotic nature of this place was not a myth.
A city without strong governance is destined to be chaotic.
“Someday, I will make West Spirit City the safest and most peaceful city, where no one dares to fight or cause trouble,” Qi Bei’s eyes contained a flame, a flame of ideals and ambitions. He wanted to build a city that was his dream, and this place was just his starting point.
Murong Xingchen’s heart trembled slightly, and her beautiful eyes were a bit uncertain. Was there really such a place in the world? Even the elves, who were known to be the most peace-loving, were they really peaceful within their own kind? Was it really equal? Was there really no discrimination?
In a medical store by the street, Lei Ming was teasing a pretty female clerk.
“Lei Ming, you’re cheating on me right after I left for a while. Aren’t you bored of life?” A sturdy leopard tribe woman lifted Lei Ming’s ear and said through gritted teeth.
“Xiya, please let go, you’re going to pull my ear off.” Lei Ming begged for mercy with a bitter face.
The female clerk who had just been teased by Lei Ming covered her mouth and giggled. This kind of scene often happened in Starfall’s medical stores.
“Will you dare to do it again next time?” Xiya, the leopard woman, said menacingly.
“I won’t dare, I won’t dare,” Lei Ming looked pitifully at his wife.
“You won’t dare? I think you’re pretty bold. Didn’t you go to the brothel with Bisha and the others the night before last, thinking I wouldn’t find out?” Xiya was furious.
“They dragged me along, I swear… Oh, Star… Star Master…” Lei Ming suddenly exclaimed and stuttered, as if he had seen a ghost.
“Bullshit, don’t lie to me,” Xiya said sharply.
“It’s true, Xiya, look, there’s a man pushing her wheelchair. Am I hallucinating?” Lei Ming hurriedly said.
Xiya turned her head to look outside the shop and her eyes widened in surprise.
Xiya and Lei Ming were both members of the eight Star Generals of Starfall. Seeing such an incredible thing, they were naturally shocked to the point where their hearts almost stopped.
The Star Master never interacted with the outside world and only stayed in the clinic in the slums. Even the eight Star Generals rarely had the chance to meet her, except for the three elf girls, Yan Ling, Ru Feng, and Piao Xue. Today, seeing her being pushed around by a man on the street was like seeing the sun rise from the west.
“Let’s follow them,” Lei Ming said.
Just then, Murong Xingchen’s gaze turned towards them and gave them a warning look.
“Love is truly great. The Star Master has also found her happiness,” Xiya murmured, her eyes suddenly becoming gentle as she held Lei Ming’s face. “Lei Ming, I will definitely treat you well.”
Lei Ming was moved and thought that his wife was really good to him.
“But if you dare to go out and flirt with other women, I’ll castrate you,” Xiya said, her gaze turning fierce as she pinched Lei Ming’s chin.
Qi Bei pushed Murong Xingchen slowly down the street, with Jin Gang and Lone Eye following behind. No one dared to provoke them, after all, the intimidation of the two big guys was still quite significant.
“Take me to see Yan Ling and the girls, okay?” Murong Xingchen suddenly spoke up.
“Okay,” Qi Bei readily agreed and led her toward Du Shou’s yard. At this point, there was no need to keep the three elf girls imprisoned anymore.
They entered the yard, and Qi Bei pushed Mu Rong Xingchen directly toward the tent where the elf girls were held captive.
“Star Master!” The three elf girls exclaimed excitedly when they saw Murong Xingchen come in. Ru Feng and Piao Xue were in tears, like children who had suffered a great grievance but had just seen their parents.
Murong Xingchen turned around, while Qi Bei’s expression became serious.
“Starfall gets 20%, then what about the Blood Wolves and Shadow Clan?” Murong Xingchen asked. She didn’t believe that Qi Bei would just hand over this big piece of cake without reason.
