Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Can’t Even Beat a Thug

After a moment of silence, Su Xiaoxi pushed the detoxification pill back in front of Tang Ming again:

"Then I really can’t accept this elixir, now is the most difficult time for you, as a friend, I can’t add to your troubles! And I don’t need you to pay back the eighty million either! You’ve lost your cultivation, you need to keep these pills to protect yourself!"

"I have more, just take it!"

Listening to Su Xiaoxi’s words, Tang Ming knew it was impossible not to be moved, he hadn’t expected that Su Xiaoxi, his fake girlfriend, would be so loyal, seemingly just like Xia Wei’er.

"Why don’t you just not leave!" Su Xiaoxi looked at Tang Ming unwillingly to let him go.

"Even though you’ve lost your cultivation, I can still ensure your safety! I can have the Su Family send someone to protect you. Neither the Qin Family nor the Poison Sect would dare to casually mess with a person protected by the Su Family! I’ll also try my best to find a way to help you restore your meridians!"

"Forget it, in my current state, Sun Zhuangjia would be able to smash me to death with one slap! It’s more dangerous for me to stay by your side!"

Tang Ming shook his head and sighed, "I know you want to help me, but I must go! My enemies are not just the Qin Family and the Poison Sect, there’s also the powerful overseas Yang Family, I don’t want to drag you down!"

"Is that so..."

Su Xiaoxi looked at Tang Ming pitifully.

"Alright, I’ll try to find a way to restore my strength when I get back, and if I really can restore it, I will naturally come back. Is that okay now?"

Tang Ming was really frightened by this woman, who would just look at you without speaking, it was truly unnerving.

"You said that, so it’s a promise! I won’t try to keep you here longer. But you must agree to one condition,"

Su Xiaoxi’s eyes turned with a hint of threat in her voice: "Once you restore your cultivation, you must continue to pretend to be my boyfriend... don’t refuse right away, or return my money now, I don’t want the elixir."

"Aren’t you putting me in a difficult position? Right now, apart from the elixir, I have no money!"

Tang Ming shook his head glumly and sighed, "Fine, I promise you, if my cultivation truly can be restored, then I will continue to pretend to be your boyfriend in the future... but let’s get this clear, I expect to be paid."

"Heh, you’re such a moneygrubber."

Su Xiaoxi glanced at Tang Ming and said earnestly, "Sure, but the first ninety-nine times have to be free, as interest on the eighty million yuan. You can start to charge after the hundredth time."

"Ninety-nine times... you’re planning to make me pretend for a lifetime, huh!"

Hearing this, Tang Ming was speechless. With once a month, a hundred times would take many years.

"A lifetime isn’t too bad, who knows, it might even become real," Su Xiaoxi said playfully, finally putting away the detoxification pill, not troubling Tang Ming further.

"Forget it, if you insist on this, I won’t argue with you anymore."

Tang Ming was stubborn but too tired to argue now; what the future held, he didn’t know, whether he could return was uncertain.

"So, is this meal our farewell meal?" Su Xiaoxi thought of Tang Ming soon leaving and became somewhat sad:

"There’s no feast that doesn’t come to an end, but I didn’t expect ours to end so soon."

"Partings are for a better reunion next time, if you don’t eat, I will! I’m starved!"

Tang Ming didn’t want to make the atmosphere so sad and immediately spoke up loudly.

In fact, Tang Ming knew very well that he was not hungry at all and could not eat anything.

Afterward, Tang Ming and Su Xiaoxi had their meal together, Tang Ming ate slowly, and Su Xiaoxi quietly watched. Although Tang Ming had no appetite, Su Xiaoxi did not ask.

Presumably, with her intelligence, she could guess some clues. At that moment, Su Xiaoxi suddenly thought of a saying, if a bad person does one good thing, it doesn’t mean he’s a good person, but if a bad person does good things his whole life, then he is a good person.

By the same token, if Tang Ming pretended to be her boyfriend once, that wouldn’t make him her boyfriend, but what if he always pretended to be her boyfriend, could the real from the fake still be distinguished?

Su Xiaoxi was convinced that Tang Ming would come back one day and fulfill his previous promise.

Half an hour later, Su Xiaoxi held a red wine glass and sincerely looked at Tang Ming, saying,

"I know you’re leaving. Let’s hope we meet again!"

"Yes, let’s hope we meet again." Tang Ming nodded and walked out of the Jun Tianhao Hotel under Su Xiaoxi’s gaze.

Once out of the hotel, Tang Ming immediately dialed Xia Wei’er’s number:

"Wei’er, I’ve finished everything on my end. I’m coming to see you now, is that okay?"

"It’s okay, I’m prepared!" Xia Wei’er responded shyly:

"Snack Street Express Hotel, room 307."

"I should get there in about twenty minutes, what have you prepared?" Tang Ming asked, puzzled.

"You’ll know when you get here."

Xia Wei’er said and then hung up the phone.

Tang Ming put away his phone and walked towards the parking area.

He had settled Su Xiaoxi’s matter, and after seeing Xia Wei’er for the last time, he could go on the road free of worries.

In the Snack Street Express Hotel, room 307, Xia Wei’er sat on the edge of the bed with her phone tightly clenched in her hands, her expression anxious yet determined.

"Tang Ming, I really do like you," Xia Wei’er whispered to herself with a blush on her face:

"In this lifetime, I only recognize you. If you can’t return someday, then I will definitely come to find you. Before you leave, I want to give myself to you, to let you know my feelings."

It turned out that when Xia Wei’er parted with Tang Ming the day before, she had already decided to offer her body to him before he left, to prove her sincerity, which was why she insisted Tang Ming come to see her one last time.

At this moment, Xia Wei’er felt extremely nervous, but there was an unwavering determination in her eyes.

After a moment of silence, Xia Wei’er resolutely stood up, stripped herself of all her clothes, and walked naked into the bathroom.

Tang Ming was unaware of Xia Wei’er’s thoughts at that moment. As he entered the parking lot of Jun Tianhao Hotel to retrieve his car and see Xia Wei’er, something unexpected happened...

"Are you Tang Ming?" Just as Tang Ming used his key to unlock his car, three burly men suddenly appeared.

"Who are you?"

Tang Ming looked them over in confusion, as he did not recognize these men.

"Someone paid us for one of your arms. We’re here to deal with you," said one of the men, who had an Azure Dragon tattooed on his arm, reaching into his waistband to draw a steel knife as he spoke coldly.

"Just you guys, dare to come after me?"

Tang Ming laughed in disdain. Even without his cultivation, he could easily take care of these thugs.

"That’s right, take this!" The man roared and swung his knife at Tang Ming without further explanation.

But in the next moment... Tang Ming’s expression shifted slightly, and he quickly moved his body to dodge the attack.

"Are you a Martial Artist?"

After steadying his stance, Tang Ming’s expression turned serious as he stared down his opponent.
