Yang Fei widened his eyes in shock, "You…"

Xiao Xuanya smiled enchantingly and finished the red wine in her stemmed glass in one gulp.

"Brother Fei, I'm back. How have you been lately?"

In the living room, Su Yinxue hadn't returned yet; only Zhang Lifang and Lin Xueyi were there.

The two women rushed over happily, bombarding Yang Fei with questions.

Yang Fei's mind was filled with doubts about Xiao Xuanya.

He responded vaguely to Lin Xueyi and Zhang Lifang.

Finally, he managed to coax the two beauties, Lin Xueyi and Zhang Lifang, to sit in front of the television and continue watching it.

He walked to the side of the living room, keeping his distance from Lin Xueyi and Zhang Lifang, and gestured to Xiao Xuanya.

"Come here, let's have a good chat. Why have you come back?"

Xiao Xuanya walked over with her charming catwalk and winked at him.

"Our contract period isn't over yet, did you think you could default on it?"

"You are now my Chief Bodyguard," she said.

Yang Fei then remembered.

Officially, Xiao Xuanya was still a client of Changfeng Security Company, with a contract term of three months.

That meant, for these three months, Yang Fei was still Xiao Xuanya's Chief Bodyguard.

Yang Fei's head began to hurt, like being pricked by needles.

Dammit, having such a female assassin at home was worse than keeping a venomous snake.

At least, the danger of a venomous snake was manageable.

Xiao Xuanya looked at Yang Fei with longing, oozing charm from her gaze.

"You have to save me, I've leaked the secrets of Blood-cloth Tower, and now headquarters wants me dead."

Yang Fei scoffed.

"Who believes you? You better leave before I get angry."

A look of immense grievance appeared on Xiao Xuanya's face.

"It's true, I divulged the secrets of Blood-cloth Tower to you, now they want to kill me to silence me."

"You're an assassin too, you know the rules of an assassin," he said.

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves to show Yang Fei.

"On my way back to the country, I was already targeted twice."

"The last time, I was almost killed by a poison needle."

Yang Fei looked carefully.

On her pale arm, there indeed was an ugly scar, and the skin around it was discolored.

Yang Fei knew at a glance that this was a sign of localized skin poisoning.

Seeing this scar made Yang Fei half-believe her story.

"Where is your brother Lang Lun? With his skills, can't he protect you?"

Xiao Xuanya sighed.

"Brother Lang Lun had already retired from this circle, and after this failure, he turned even more disheartened."

"My brother decided to move to Australia to become a farmer. He asked me to seek refuge with you."

Honestly speaking, a thrilling sniping episode in the Birch Forest made Yang Fei highly respect Lang Lun.

To compete in a moving sniping match for half an hour yet never be defeated was rare.

And Lang Lun had managed just that.

This gave Yang Fei a feeling of mutual sympathy toward Lang Lun.

Xiao Xuanya noticed Yang Fei's changing expressions.

She pursed her lips and coquettishly pouted.

"Brother Lang Lun said, he owes you his life."

"If you ever need him, be it a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, he will come. He asked you to take me in."

Yang Fei nodded, still hesitant about whether to shelter Xiao Xuanya.

Seeing that Yang Fei hadn't agreed, Xiao Xuanya's pretty face tensed.

"Oh, I thought Changfeng Security Company was competent and responsible with its bodyguards."

"Who knew that upon hearing the name Blood-cloth Tower, you'd be scared shitless, rushing to push clients out the door, afraid of bringing trouble upon yourselves."

"With such an attitude, why bother running a security company at all? Might as well just shut it down."

Although Yang Fei knew she was using reverse psychology, he couldn't help but snort heavily.

"Who said we at Changfeng Security are afraid of Blood-cloth Tower?"

"It's just you, always so good at hiding and terribly dangerous, so I have to be extra cautious."

At this point, Yang Fei had made up his mind.

"Just stay put, since we've signed a contract, and during its validity, I assure you that you'll be safe."

"As for after three months, that's none of my business."

Xiao Xuanya laughed melodiously, her eyes seductive, as she coyly looked at Yang Fei.

"I knew it, you wouldn't bear to let me go."

At this, she took out a check and flashed it at Yang Fei.

"Look, what have I brought you?"

Yang Fei saw that in Xiao Xuanya's hand was a check for one billion US Dollars.

He couldn't help but be startled, "Where did this money come from?"

Xiao Xuanya laughed again, her eyes curving like crescent moons.

"You killed Ao Gunning, the Legion Commander of the October Song Legion. His life is worth one billion US Dollars on the Netherworld list."

"When I left the Land of Chaos, I took Ao Gunning's head along, and collected the bounty for you."

"Now, I've dutifully brought it back to you. Isn't that thoughtful?"

Having said that, Xiao Xuanya giggled like a true fox spirit.

Honestly, Yang Fei had completely forgotten about the bounty.

For him, killing Ao Gunning was just a minor sidelight in a duel with a Blood Slave.

He was neither a bounty hunter nor a professional assassin.

He had no intention of making money off someone else's head.

Yang Fei looked at the exceedingly crafty laughing Xiao Xuanya, paused for a moment, then suddenly asked a question.

"A billion-dollar bounty can last you a lifetime, why aren't you taking this money and making a break for it?"

Xiao Xuanya snorted.

"What do you take me for, a greedy person?"

"Brother often tells me, 'Loyalty and righteousness are worth their weight in gold'..."

Yang Fei cut her off immediately, "Speak plainly."

Xiao Xuanya rolled her eyes at Yang Fei and sighed helplessly.

"Alright, Blood-cloth Tower wants me dead, even if I run to the ends of the earth, they would still find me."

"What's the use of having one billion US Dollars if I lose my life?"

At this point, Xiao Xuanya said proudly, "Besides, is one billion US Dollars all that rare?"

"We Blood Slaves don't consider that kind of money significant."

Yang Fei listened to her fairly honest words and nodded, "That sounds more like it."

"Alright, I've said what needed to be said, and I've returned the bounty from Ao Gunning."

"Now, can you continue to be my bodyguard?"

When Xiao Xuanya wasn't smiling, she looked incredibly stunning.

But when she did smile, she could make any man's heart burn in an instant.

Facing such an alluring fairy, Yang Fei felt somewhat helpless.

He hesitated for a moment and Xiao Xuanya hummed.

"Of course, you could also break the contract, but don't forget, I'm a columnist for 'Dark Corner'."

"I could expose Changfeng Company's breach of contract to the public tomorrow, see how your business survives?"

At the mention of this, Yang Fei's face was all smiles.

"How could we break a contract? Our company is reputable, with customer satisfaction as our priority. Just settle down without worries."

"Whatever about Blood-cloth Tower or White Clothing Tower, I'm ready with a big Wolf Fang Club to handle it."

This guy was acting all aloof and reserved just a second ago.

But with Xiao Xuanya's threat, he immediately softened, nodding and bowing.

Xiao Xuanya was dumbfounded, then giggled coquettishly.

"Brother Fei, it seems you also play tough but fear the hard. I really overestimated you."

Yang Fei disdainfully sized up Xiao Xuanya.

"What's tough about you? Why don't we compare and see who's tougher?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together,

as if ready to drop his pants and settle it once and for all.
