Chapter 37: Unparalleled Beauty

Compared to Ye Tian's strength, it was his age that truly alarmed Zhang Wenping.

Ye Tian's prowess was indeed frightening, easily defeating Yang Guan, who was almost invincible in Yangcheng. However, it was his seemingly 20-year-old appearance that was more daunting and even terrifying.

Even with only superficial knowledge of ancient martial arts, mostly learned through hearsay, Zhang Wenping understood what it meant for someone so young to be at the dark energy phase.

The old saying "scholars grow poor, warriors grow rich" wasn't just talk. The force capable of nurturing such a young powerhouse must be incredibly strong.

"Uncle, you..." Du Haiming, unable to believe what he was hearing, stared wide-eyed, never expecting his affectionate uncle to say such things. Others in the club also exchanged looks, speculating about Ye Tian's background.

"Shut up!" Zhang Wenping shouted at his nephew and then turned to look at Ye Tian.

"Since Brother Zhang has spoken, I naturally can't ignore his request. Let's consider today's matter closed. We'll have a drink together another day," Ye Tian said with a smile.

Recognizing Zhang Wenping's tact, he didn't want to offend him further.

"Thank you, Brother Ye. I'll definitely arrange a banquet to apologize to you," Zhang Wenping, seeing that Ye Tian had preempted his intention to build a connection and understanding that Ye Tian didn't want too much interaction, instructed the security guards:

"What are you waiting for? Take this beast away with me. He needs an unforgettable lesson today!"

After bowing to Ye Tian, Zhang Wenping left with his men.

The security guards, escorting Du Haiming, glared at Ye Tian with venomous eyes, clearly not ready to give up on revenge.

Ye Tian, unconcerned, smirked and didn't take Du Haiming seriously. He turned to the beautiful anchor and said:

"This isn't a good place to chat. Let's go somewhere else."

Ye Tian grabbed the anchor's delicate hand and headed for the club's exit.

The anchor, still in shock from the recent events and overwhelmed by the rapid turn of events, didn't refuse. Her face flushed, and she felt like a deer running wild in her heart.

"Could he like me? Is he going to confess? How can I gently refuse him without hurting his feelings?"

Remembering Ye Tian's heroic actions, her cheeks grew even hotter. She discreetly turned off her live stream and let Ye Tian lead her away. It wasn't that she had fallen for Ye Tian after his heroic rescue, but she definitely saw him in a new light.

Thinking of the help he offered, she decided not to hold a grudge for the earlier inconvenience. Maybe she could give him a chance to pursue her. It was definitely not because she liked him – it was just her way of saying thanks!

While she thought this, her face grew even more flushed.

Ye Tian, holding the anchor's hand, listened to the alerts from the live stream in his ear, feeling quite smug.

The cliche of a hero saving the beauty never gets old. After the recent face-slapping incident, followed by the anchor allowing him to hold her hand, it was like throwing dog food (showing off affection) to the live stream viewers. The sudden surge in viewership and dog food value was thrilling, with tens of points increasing every second.

"I'm getting rich! This is an unprecedented fortune. If this continues even for a short while, I could dominate just by relying on the lottery."

Suddenly, the alerts stopped, puzzling Ye Tian. He saw the anchor turning off the live stream.

"Why did you stop the live stream?" Ye Tian felt a huge disappointment. His dog food value had just reached an unprecedented four-digit number and now had come to a halt.

But with the stream off, he couldn't force her to continue. Though regretful, he had no choice but to let go.

Instantly feeling dejected, Ye Tian lost his interest in flirting.

"What's with that expression?" The anchor, seeing Ye Tian's disappointed face, was taken aback.

"Don't you like me? Weren't we going somewhere else to talk?" As soon as she turned off the live stream, his attitude changed completely.

The anchor recalled Ye Tian's earlier actions – how he took advantage of her and threatened her with the live stream.

Could it be that his real intention wasn't to like her, but to get back at her for teasing him on the live stream?

Thinking of this, her cheeks burned with embarrassment.

How embarrassing! She had just been thinking about how to gently reject his advances, but his real motive was to retaliate for her teasing. She had been utterly presumptuous! This despicable guy!

The anchor, angered and embarrassed, kicked Ye Tian in the leg and glared at him with her beautiful, watery eyes.

"What's wrong

 with you! Why did you kick me?" Ye Tian exclaimed in anger. Already feeling down, getting kicked out of the blue only worsened his mood.

"Did you deliberately hug me and hold my hand because you knew about my bet with the fans, and wanted to get back at me?"

The anchor kept her intense gaze on Ye Tian, questioning him. Every beautiful woman is obsessed with her own charm, and the more beautiful they are, the more they care.

"So, it's because of that. We're in the street now, you know. I was considering your reputation! If you really don't want me to let go, I'll hold your hand again," Ye Tian said, reaching for her hand once more.

"You jerk!" The anchor, not believing Ye Tian's excuses, pushed his hand away and walked off.

Ye Tian touched his nose regretfully, sniffing the faint scent lingering on his fingers. He contemplated whether to convince Su Mei to start a live stream and show off their affection. Even if they sat there silently, the audience would shower them with dog food value. Although each point from the live stream was only one or two, the sheer number of viewers made it the best way to earn them.

"Ye Tian!" Deep in thought, he was interrupted by a sweet shout. Looking up, he saw the anchor turning back to him.

"My name is Lin Yufei. Remember that!"

In that moment, her smile was like a painting, breathtakingly beautiful.
