Chapter 49

"I-I changed my dress..."

Xiao Yingxia walked to Li Mubai's side and said softly to him.

As she had found out that the exceptionally handsome man dressed in white clothes before her was the Li family's Young Master, Li Mubai, her posture seemed to have stiffened a bit.

On one hand, as her Xiao family had once offended Li Mubai, she couldn't afford to offend him again...

On the other hand, there was a great disparity between their identities.

With such a great disparity between their identities just like Cinderella and the Royal Prince, Xiao Yingxia deemed herself unworthy of Li Mubai.

"You look great in this dress..." Li Mubai said and smiled faintly as he got the reaction that he wanted from Xiao Yingxia.

He then stepped forward signaling her to take his arm and leaned over her ear and whispered, "You look gorgeous tonight... I love it..."

Though Xiao Yingxia's face turned beet red, she still obediently took Li Mubai's arm and followed him closely to the center of the banquet hall.

"Good evening, Young Master Li!"

"Good evening, Young Master Li!"

"..."

On the way there, when many celebrities and bigshots saw Li Mubai, they politely offered their greetings and stared at Xiao Yingxia in revere.

Xiao Yingxia nestled her head against Li Mubai's shoulder.

She could see many influential figures of Jinghai that she used to look up to before now treating her with respect.

None of them now even dared to look at her with greedy eyes but with endless revere and dread as if afraid they'd arouse Li Mubai's misunderstanding.

Xiao Yingxia shifted her gaze to the banquet hall and saw many celebrities whom she could've never gotten to meet in the past.

The way the celebrities now stare at Xiao Yingxia was quite different from before. Though they were envious, they had no choice but to watch her from a distance.

With how things currently turned out, Xiao Yingxia felt equally overwhelmed and awkward.

Everyone's attention was directed to Xiao Yingxia when she showed up in the evening gown.

And now with her holding Li Mubai's arm, she was in the spotlight!

This was the first time everyone was being so nice to her.

She was also aware that all of it was due to Li Mubai's presence.

At that moment, Xiao Yingxia couldn't help but turn her head to Li Mubai, her limpid eyes staring at his handsome face.

With Li Mubai's identity, many beautiful women would be more than willing to accompany him...

Deep down, Xiao Yingxia had mixed feelings.

Xiao Yingxia couldn't understand why Li Mubai wanted her to accompany him and also wanted her to change into such an expensive evening gown...

"Um..."

Suddenly, a man with a mask in the crowd caught Li Mubai's attention.

Li Mubai's eyes flashed and an attribute panel surfaced before him.

[Character]: Han Qiansan

[Identity]: Second Young Master of the Han family in the Imperial Capital. (Protagonist)

[Age]: 25

[Charm]: 79

[Height]: 174

[Qi luck]: 2200 (attained maximum Potential. No room for growth.)

[Cultivation]: Late stages of Dark-Jin

[Cheat]: The second Young Master of the Han family in the Imperial Capital who was forced to leave the Han family. Though everyone believes him to be good-for-nothing trash, he has been secretly building up his strength to prove himself to the Han family.

[Class]: A

"Never have I expected him to attend this charity auction..."

Li Mubai flashed a cold smile in amusement.

Li Mubai was actually a bit surprised seeing Han Qiansan belong to A-Class.

After all, Ye Xuan, whom he had put to death not so long, belonged to an SS-Class.

It was also to be noted that compared to Ye Xuan whom Li Mubai had dealt before, Han Qiansan didn't really have any overpowered cheats.

So, it was quite normal for Han Qiansan to have no growth potential.

With Han Qiansan's cultivation base at the late stages of Dark-Jin, if not for the Protagonist Halo, Li Mubai could bet that a random Li family secret guard of his could put Han Qiansan to death!

[Ding! Host's villainous behavior succeeded in enraging Han Qiansan, rewarding 500 villain points!]

Li Mubai had villain points instantly credited into his account.

As Li Mubai heard the system prompt, he let out a faint smile and paused his footsteps.

If a man saw his wife holding someone else's hand in public, he'd definitely be pissed off!

Li Mubai was looking forward to seeing how the Xiao family's 'trash' son-in-law would vent his rage...

"Is there something wrong?..."

Xiao Yingxia stared at Li Mubai, who suddenly paused, a puzzled look on her face.

"Your hair is in a mess..." Li Mubai whispered to her.

He then stretched out his right hand and pinned a few strands of hair that were scattered down by her cheeks, behind her ears.

For an instant, Li Mubai's intimate action made Xiao Yingxia's blushing face even redder.

[Ding! Host's villainous behavior succeeded in enraging Han Qiansan even further, rewarding 700 villain points!]

In the crowd, Han Qiansan clenched his hands into fists.

However, he didn't dare to stand and reveal his identity in such a place.

Was that it?

He could even endure this, huh?

Li Mubai playfully thought to himself in contempt.

Letting go of his left hand that was being held by Xiao Yingxia, he instead clung to her soft willow-like thin waist...
