Chapter 670: Chapter 670 Equilibrium Trade (3)_1

Xiao Muli, upon taking another look at Baibai’s smug expression as it looked at him, felt as if it was saying, "Humph, that’ll teach you to get fresh with my master."

And truth be told, the message that Xiao Muli read in Baibai’s eyes was indeed what Baibai was muttering to itself at that moment.

Earlier, Baibai had followed Xiao Muli and Situ Xin through the door, and the first thing it saw was Xiao Muli with his arms around Situ Xin, about to lower his head and kiss her. At the sight of this, Baibai felt a rush of heat to its head and charged straight to Xiao Muli’s side, extending its paw and taking a swipe at him.

If Baibai hadn’t been considerate of its master Situ Xin and hadn’t held back, Xiao Muli wouldn’t have just slightly toppled over, let alone fallen on the couch.

Xiao Muli hadn’t anticipated that the White Tiger raised by Situ Xin could be so human-like—even to the extent of ruining his private, intimate moments with Situ Xin. Moreover, this culprit stayed by Situ Xin’s side afterward, staring intently at Xiao Muli without blinking, as if it were ready to pounce the moment he made a move.

Xiao Muli also stared back at Baibai, his gaze not only warning but also continuously emitting a chilling aura. However, Baibai was utterly unaffected by it.

Situ Xin eventually realized that something was off between the man and the tiger. Xiao Muli’s face had turned as dark as that of a grim enforcer, while Baibai was on high alert, watching Xiao Muli closely.

Nevertheless, Situ Xin had no intention of intervening in the affair between the man and the tiger; in her view, this was part of the process of Xiao Muli and Baibai getting to know each other.

For the time that followed, Xiao Muli could only touch Situ Xin’s hand. If he made any other move, Baibai would bare its teeth and leap at him, forcing him to abandon the attempt. This continued until a phone call from Che came through.

On the side, Situ Xin was thoroughly enjoying the contest of wills between the man and the tiger.

In his heart, Xiao Muli resolved that if given the chance, he would definitely teach, no, train this White Tiger properly. To make it understand what it should and shouldn’t do.

Baibai, on the other hand, was thinking it would have to guard its master well, lest it look away for a moment only to find its master bullied by certain people.

Each harboring their own thoughts, the man and the tiger would occasionally test each other in the days to come: one on the offense, the other on defense, with the final outcome depending on their respective abilities.

It was Situ Xin who changed Xiao Muli’s mind about handling the arms deal in person.

Xiao Muli had already declined, but when Situ Xin mentioned going to erase the memory of their encounter from Edward’s group, Xiao Muli remembered the look Edward had given Situ Xin, and a sour feeling of discomfort washed over him.

Had it not been for the business partnership with Edward, he would certainly have gone up and taught Edward a lesson right then and there to show him that there are some people in this world you cannot covet.

When Xiao Muli, Situ Xin, and Baibai arrived at the arms warehouse, Edward’s eyes lit up. He wanted to step forward to greet Situ Xin, but after taking just one step, he halted under the influence of Xiao Muli’s formidable presence.

Xiao Muli looked coldly at Edward, and the icy gaze sent shivers down Edward’s spine, leaving him without the courage to take another step forward.

"Now that everything has been inspected, let’s begin the transaction," Xiao Muli said as he took a step forward, positioning himself to block Edward’s view of Situ Xin.

Che and Xuan were well aware of Xiao Muli’s special regard for Situ Xin and exchanged knowing glances. They were now sure that this extraordinarily beautiful Fairy had a unique relationship with their master.

What they were absolutely certain of was that their master treated this Fairy differently.

"Mr. Edward, you are aware of the Xiao Family’s rules for arms sales, right? Hand to hand, cash for goods, and we only accept cash," Xiao Muli said, now completely uninterested in exchanging pleasantries with Edward, especially after seeing the intense way Edward’s group looked at Situ Xin.

"Bring the money." Under Xiao Muli’s dominating presence, Edward dared not overstep, instructing his men to bring over the cash they’d brought. "Mr. Xiao, please count it."

Xiao Muli didn’t take it, but Che and Xuan quickly stepped up to take the case with the money, along with their subordinates, to inspect it. After verifying the amount, they came over and whispered to Xiao Muli, "Master, it’s all there."

"Then Mr. Edward, the contents of this place are now yours; please help yourselves." Now that the deal was done, Xiao Muli felt there was no need to stay any longer, but he immediately remembered Situ Xin’s mention of erasing Edward’s group’s memory. He asked Situ Xin, "Baby, about that thing you said... "

"Let’s go first. I’ll erase their memories when we get to the door."

"All right." Xiao Muli’s arm was loosely around Situ Xin’s waist as they walked towards the door.

This action left Che and Xuan’s eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. They weren’t hallucinating—was their master holding the Fairy close? To them, his actions seemed like a declaration of ownership.

Baibai, meanwhile, watched through gritted teeth, cursing inwardly at Xiao Muli for his shamelessness, always looking to take advantage of its master. If Baibai knew that Xiao Muli’s intentions for its master went beyond hugging; that he had already kissed her little mouth, who knows how it would have reacted.

As Xiao Muli and Situ Xin reached the door, with his arm still around her, she stopped, released her Divine Sense to envelop Edward’s group, and silently recited words from the Jade Token in her mind, which resembled a spell to erase memories.

In an instant, Situ Xin opened her eyes and said to Xiao Muli, "Let’s go."

"Is that it?" Xiao Muli had assumed that erasing a person’s memories wouldn’t be an easy task, so he asked, rather surprised, when Situ Xin said they could leave.
