At the entrance of a VIP room under Yutian's name.
A young man dressed smartly was animatedly recounting a story, with several security guards around him listening in astonishment.
"No way, Boss Max is down?" one security guard doubted.
The young man gave him a disdainful look. "Do you think I'd make up a story about Boss Max to fool you?"
The guard thought about it and nodded.
"But according to your description, it's just a student, right? That's too exaggerated. We're talking about 70-proof liquor here," another guard said, clicking his tongue.
"I heard about this. A waitress fainted from the smell of alcohol while cleaning the room. Could it be the same one?" a skinnier guard chimed in.
The young man nodded and smacked his lips.
"That's simply inhuman."
"Hehe, he must have some background. I saw his girlfriend—wow, she's so pure and innocent, way out of Claire's league," the young man praised.
The guards were skeptical. Claire was the top hostess at Crown Nightclub, renowned for her unbeatable purity and fresh, ethereal temperament. She was the kind of girl who could make anyone feel tender and protective, unmatched even by the most famous actresses on TV.
The young man smiled and took out a photo he secretly took the previous day. It captured Lily Lin watching Leon Chen drink with a worried yet clear gaze, which left the guards in awe.
"What pure beauty could get you guys so worked up?" a soft voice came from the side.
The group shivered, seeing a crowd approaching. The leading man was about 6 feet tall, with a model-like physique and handsome features, though his eyes carried a hint of wickedness. It was the man's female companion who spoke.
The woman was an absolute stunner, with eyes like clear springs, exuding purity beyond words.
"Claire," the young man, Yang, said awkwardly. The guards instantly showed fear, carefully plastering smiles on their faces, knowing they shouldn't speak further.
"darling, you want to meet her too, right?" Claire, who had been in nightclubs for years, maintained an exceptionally pure smile.
The man with the peculiar name, Chase Wei, remained silent as Claire took the photo.
At first glance, Claire was stunned. Her meticulously maintained facade of purity briefly gave way to an unexpected jealousy, but she quickly recovered.
"Chase, she's really pure and adorable. I really want to meet her," Claire said pitifully.
Chase Wei's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment. "What's her name?"
"I don't know. I just happened to see her yesterday..." Yang hurriedly explained.
"And Max Tu?" Chase Wei asked nonchalantly.
"Ah," Yang remembered and immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Our boss drank too much last night. Lili and Shasha are using hot and cold treatments to sober him up."
Chase sneered disdainfully. "Useless. I'll be waiting in the Throne Hall. Tell him to get over there quickly."
Daring to order the local boss around in his own territory, Chase Wei was indeed bold. However, Yang and the others nodded repeatedly, as if it was only natural.
Chase gave a satisfied and dismissive look, handing the photo to someone behind him. "Find her for me," he said casually. Hearing this, Claire pursed her lips sinisterly.
A man, not one to be trifled with, took the photo.
Once their backs were turned, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Goodness, no wonder he's the prince of the West Capital's emperor. Spending even one more second with him felt like sitting on pins and needles. Unfortunately for that boy's girlfriend, being noticed by him usually didn't end well.
Yang clicked his tongue in pity. "Let's quickly inform Boss Max. The young master of the Wei demon king has no patience."
Leon Chen felt he was becoming less like a student. After a fruitless day investigating the stunning beauty at H University, he took another leave, following Lina's clues to find "Seamless Healing," located just a few thousand kilometers away in South Sea Province's coast.
Following the watch's boundary prompts, Leon finally stood on the beach of coast. Gazing out, the South Sea's waters caressed the shore like a gentle mother, while people on the beach laughed and chatted. Leon frowned: the watch's prompt indicated the critical point was here, but with so many people around, pinpointing the target was giving him a headache.
Using the watch's scanning function would only attract attention.
Leon sat aside, pondering a solution.
Although it was winter, South Sea Province's climate was still as hot as summer, with the beach filled with bikini-clad beauties showing off their curves.
Leon could only use his eyes to spot any suspicious behavior, as those hostile to him might carry a special ability chip.
While thinking, he heard a teasing voice. "Kid, what are you staring at?"
Leon was startled and looked up. In front of him stood a graceful, mature woman, around twenty-five or twenty-six, wearing a retro two-piece swimsuit. What caught his eye most was the pure white swimsuit. White is generally a taboo in swimming because of its transparency issues when wet.
However, upon seeing the swimsuit brand, Leon was disappointed. It was made of a material called "Snow Foam," known for staying buoyant and being non-transparent, even appearing dazzling to onlookers.
What attracted Leon's attention even more was the necklace around the woman's neck, a white transparent stone with a red chip inside that occasionally sparkled in the sunlight.
The ability chip!
Leon was speechless.
"You still look like a boy," the woman said with a seductive smile, pushing out her ample chest.
"Your necklace is beautiful," Leon said.
The woman laughed, taking it as Leon's attempt at flattery. Seeing his honest appearance, she couldn't help but want to tease him.
"Do you want it? I can give it to you," she said.
Leon Chen was still contemplating how to retrieve the chip when her words caught him off guard.
"Really?" Leon was taken aback.
"I wouldn't lie to an honest boy. Besides, this pendant isn't worth much—" she said with a coquettish smile, handing him a bottle of sunscreen. "Help me apply some sunscreen."
Leon knew it wouldn't be that simple.
"No pain, no gain. You don't mind, do you?" she giggled. "You won't lose out."
"Hurry up, the sun's rays are quite intense," the woman said with a mischievous expression, laying down on a towel.
Leon sighed softly. Since the person involved had no complaints, he had no reason to object.
Taking a deep breath, Leon prepared himself.
Her skin was incredibly white, almost dazzlingly so in the sunlight. As he calmed himself, his heartbeat quickened.
Despite everything, Leon was just a normal young man, without any vices, and the woman's allure was undeniable. This was his first time being so intimate with the opposite sex, which filled his lungs with a sense of suffocation. Of course, there was the incident with Sienna Tang, but Leon had little memory of that.
"Is this really okay?" Leon repeated his question.
"You're so talkative, hehe." She closed her eyes with a charming smile, her long eyelashes fluttering with happiness. "Call me Liang."
Leon realized he was being overly cautious. Since she was willing, why hesitate? Besides, he needed to get the chip back.
Without further ado, he started applying the sunscreen to her smooth back.
As his fingertips touched her pristine back, a current seemed to run through him.
However, Leon was good at controlling himself. After a brief moment of discomfort, he suppressed the tantalizing thoughts in his mind and focused on applying the sunscreen.
Liang slightly opened her eyes, casting a sly glance back at him before closing them again and murmuring, "You're quite skilled. I thought a straightforward boy like you would have clumsy hands."
"Ah," Leon chuckled, "just the right balance of pressure. I think I'm doing okay." After all, under the guidance of Saint Night Nobles, Leon had changed significantly. Applying sunscreen was a simple task.
Liang laughed. "You make it sound so easy. Others would probably go crazy."
Leon felt a ripple in his heart, realizing her allure was just a notch below Sienna Tang's.
Thinking of Sienna, Leon remembered she was returning to the country soon. Their recent conversations indicated the investigation into the ruins was nearly complete. Thinking of her, he naturally recalled the enchanting allure of Sienna, whose seductive charm was lethal compared to the woman before him.
With these thoughts, Leon gradually calmed down and smoothly finished applying the sunscreen.
It was only when the woman, covering her ample chest with one hand, reminded him to tie her bikini top that he snapped back to reality.
After helping her tie the strings of her swimsuit, Leon noticed she was looking at him with a curious and intrigued expression.
