Chapter 647 - Dungeon Boss

Chapter 647: Dungeon Boss

“Don’t worry, I understand how to get the best deal. You’re definitely getting a virgin body. I’ve not even held the hands of another man before.” Su Qingyao continued explaining. Her soft body almost pressed against Ye Lingchen, bringing a scent of a different perfume to his nose.

‘This woman is a pro!’ Ye Lingchen appraised internally.

It was scary to meet a professional. As they say, it’s fine to be ignorant, but comparison kills. At that moment, Su Qingyao was undoubtedly a model mistress, knowing full well how to make use of his advantageous situation.

‘This is just f*cking weird!’

Ye Lingchen could not help but recall his elementary school days where his teacher had him write an essay titled, My Dream. Scientists, musicians, singers, and so on were hot picks. Now look at this, someone’s dream was to be a mistress to another, to rely on the strong.

Ye Lingchen felt his mouth go dry. He forced himself to move his vision away from Su Qingyao’s alluring face.

In the end, he was just a kid in his early twenties with raging hormones. He couldn’t stay calm in that situation. Moreover, Su Qingyao was exceptionally seductive.

A perfect mistress. That was most likely what every regular man dreams of.

Not only was he a regular man, but his pent up energy was also a lot stronger than regular men.

He was surrounded by women, but at the same time…lacked an outlet as Zhang Yunxi was her only officially attached partner.

That was because he had considered the restriction of social norms. He had to consider the feelings and stance of Xiao Feifei, Zhao Liangying, and others while being responsible for them.

He was able to attract women, but he would not lose himself over them, nor would he let all that power go to his head and end up as a villain. That went against his principles.

However, it was a different issue when one delivered up to his doorstep for free.

Staying out of his life and requiring no commitment on his part, attractive and elegant. All she was after was to ride on his influence. No matter how one cut it, Ye Lingchen was the one reaping the most benefits.

With Ye Lingchen’s current body, he couldn’t be satiated with Zhang Yunxi alone. He had been suppressing his desires. Now that he had a chance to go wild, that was the crux of the matter.

“Y-y-you can stay here tonight,” Ye Lingchen stated.

‘Logically, with my current status, it shouldn’t be too much to have a mistress right? Is it too much? Will that be too corrupted?’

To do, or not to do? That is the question.

While he hesitated, the sun had set and rose. It went from dusk to dawn.

Su Qingyao laid in the bed, looking at Ye Lingchen resentfully. She had stripped all her clothes and laid in bed for him, yet Ye Lingchen did not come over no matter how long she waited. In the end, she fell asleep.

When she woke up, Ye Lingchen was unexpectedly sitting there quietly with a book in his hands. He was not even reading it. Who knew what he was up to?

Regardless, she said nothing and quickly brought some warm water for Ye Lingchen to freshen up. Meanwhile, she stood behind Ye Lingchen and continued to massage him.

Seeing Ye Lingchen place the book down, she hurriedly dried a towel and passed it to him.

“I didn’t expect the young miss of the Su family to be so good at serving others.” Ye Lingchen received the towel, noticing the temperature was just nice and comfortable.

“I’m a professional that has to look after my benefactor.” Su Qingyao made a seductive smile. “Meanwhile, I can be even more professional.”

With that said, she even licked her red luscious lips while fully exhibiting the perfect shape of her body. “Being sexy doesn’t mean I’m a slut.”

Ye Lingchen rubbed his nose and looked away. If he continued staring, mistakes would be made.

That reminded him of his other maidservant, Miyako of the Sun Nation’s King of Gamblers. ‘Damn it, I let her off on a holiday and she never came back.’

When compared to Su Qingyao, that was just too unprofessional.

“What do you want for breakfast? I’ll prepare it for you,” Su Qingyao asked.

“Just some noodles,[1]” Ye Lingchen answered innocently.

Su Qingyao thought he was hinting at something, “Do you want eggs?”

“Sure.”

…

As Ye Lingchen left the room, many eyes immediately focused on them. To be more accurate, they were all gathered on Su Qingyao. After all, nobody dared to let their gaze linger on Ye Lingchen over three seconds.

The edge of Su Qingyao’s lips curled into a smile. She wrapped her hands around Ye Lingchen’s arm, enjoying being the center of attention as she walked.

A man and woman spending an entire night in the same room. Nobody would believe them even if they claimed nothing happened.

Meanwhile, Ye Lingchen could not be bothered to explain. He then whispered to Su Qingyao, “How does it feel?”

“Very good. I enjoy this feeling very much,” Su Qingyao replied excitedly.

“You’re a member of the Su family. You’ll be well received wherever you go.”

“That’s not the same!” Su Qingyao held onto Ye Lingchen’s arm. “How can you compare a normal person to an authoritative figure? These people used to look at me while plotting my demise, or filled with disgust. However, they are now looking at me with respect. Even those elders didn’t dare to look me straight in the eye!”

Her voice was trembling from the excitement.

“Go summon the masters of the four great families and the slightly better families over.” Ye Lingchen did not mind letting her flaunt a little.

“Yes!” Su Qingyao nodded, then immediately hurried to her task.

Upon receiving Su Qingyao’s invitation, the masters of those families dared not act lofty. Instead, they were extremely courteous and rushed over as soon as they could. Even Su Tianhong behaved humbly.

Su family meeting room…

Ye Lingchen took the main seat while Su Qingyao and Su Qingxue sat by his sides. The masters of those families were all influential figures that dominated a region. However, at that moment, they seemed extremely reserved.

“Everyone please remain calm. I’m only trying to make a business deal with you!” Ye Lingchen announced.

After a momentary silence, Su Tianhong asked, “May I know what business deal is Mr. Y talking about?”

“The rabies’ cure required a large amount of raw materials! Meanwhile, The Sichuan-Tibet region produces a lot of them. You can be my supplier,” Ye Lingchen replied, “moreover, I need your help to plant some medicinal herbs.”

Miracle Island was just an island after all, and Ye Lingchen’s allocation for the herb garden was limited, limiting its scale. It was mainly used to cultivate rare herbs, prioritizing quality over quantity. He had to supply medication to the rest of the world. Just the Miracle Island alone was insufficient to meet his needs.

Everyone exchanged glances and saw the dubious looks in each other’s eyes.

They could understand the need to supply him with raw materials for the rabies cure. Moreover, it was a good thing for them. However, what did he mean by planting medicinal herbs for him? Was he turning the Sichuan-Tibet region into his own herb garden?

“Mr. Y, our Sichuan-Tibet region is supplying medicinal herbs to the rest of the world,” Master Chen braved a statement. In that, he was hinting that their medicinal herb production volume was sizable.

“Hehe, you think I’ll only be making one type of medicine?” Ye Lingchen chuckled. “The pharmaceutical industry needs to grow, and I’ll be the one leading the way. If you follow me, I’ll be your biggest client! If you don’t want to work with me, you may leave now. I will not force you.”

Miracle Island’s resources were limited. Meanwhile, the Sichuan-Tibet region’s families inherited the resources of their ancestors. Moreover, they were rather powerful as well, capable of surviving harsh times. If he managed to have them work for him, Ye Lingchen would not need to worry about the supply of medicinal herbs. That way, the production of his medicine would be much smoother and hassle-free.

The masters of those families exchanged glances, unable to decide on such short notice.

If they agreed to his demand, their fate would be tied to Ye Lingchen. In other words, they would have to plant their medicinal herbs according to Ye Lingchen’s requirements.

“I’ll say this again, the rabies cure is just the beginning. In the future, there will be a cure for cancer, pandemic[2], bubonic plague, and so on. Apart from that, there will also be supplements and beauty products as well. I will monopolize the pharmaceutical supplies in the world. Today is your chance. If you missed this opportunity, it will be impossible for you to join me in the future.” Ye Lingchen was completely calm with his statement. The contents, however, shocked everyone.

Although it was like a pipe dream, the crowd somehow heard complete confidence in his tone. It was as though everything he said would become reality.

Gulp!

Even as the masters of their family, some of them could not resist swallowing hard as they struggled with their scepticism.

Ye Lingchen’s words were too incredible. If it were true, then a big portion of the medication out there would be phased out!

That was not just a fanfaronade. Take the rabies cure for example. Once the cure is produced, the existing rabies’ vaccine would be worthless!

Once the medication is phased out and Ye Lingchen monopolizes its production, then the suppliers of these materials would be able to jack up their price according to the demand, rising as giants.

“Mr. Y, are you confident?” One of the family leaders asked with a rough voice.

“It’s up to you if you want to join me.” Ye Lingchen shrugged without care. He then looked at Su Qingxue and instructed, “Qingxue, record the families that are willing to join us. There will be no second chance.”

Ye Lingchen’s words gave the masters of the families more pressure. On one hand, they were considering the feasibility of Ye Lingchen’s claims. On the other, they were fearful of Ye Lingchen’s abilities. Who knew what would await them should they refuse?

“Our Su family agrees!” Shortly, Su Tianhong was the first to voice out. He then held his hands and greeted Ye Lingchen ingratiatingly. “Mr. Y, my Su family will be willing to stick by your side even through death!”

The other family heads’ expression darkened.

‘Motherf*cking bootlicker!’

‘No wonder your daughter is also a bootlicker!’

The next moment, Master Chen stood up as well. “Mr. Y, we’ll be in your care in the future.”

With two of the great families making a move, the other families could not wait any longer. One by one they voiced their agreement to Ye Lingchen’s demands.

“You won’t regret this.” Ye Lingchen chuckled. “If there are any issues, you can have Qingxue and Qingyao notify me. If there’s anything you can’t handle, I’ll sort it out for you.”

Although that statement seemed friendly, it caused their hearts to skip a beat.

There were two meanings to having an issue. One was them being targeted by outsiders. The other would be internal issues.

That also meant that Su Qingxue and Su Qingyao were his supervisors. It was as though they were given a divine weapon.

With them agreeing, Ye Lingchen laughed satisfyingly. ‘Coming here this time was the right decision. What a haul.’

Not only did he increase his understanding of the world of martial arts, but he also solved the issue of his medicinal herb supply. Moreover, he had also collected several rare herbs and martial arts techniques. That was just like clearing a dungeon boss…

[1] 下面 (Xia Mian) – This term can be understood as either cook noodles, or down there. You smart readers get the drift.

[2] 瘟疫 (Wen Yi) – This directly translates to pandemic. However, from the text, it seems the author is treating this as a specific disease. Perhaps in IAP’s universe, pandemic is a disease.
