Chapter 275: I Take the Good, You Handle the Bad
"Do you intend to challenge Tian Quezi on your own? Ye Huli, you really are a dark horse. Come clean, are you also highly skilled as a martial artist? How skilled are you? Could you possibly be a Martial Saint too?" Yun Sheng was overjoyed inside.
Why hadn't she thought of it before, to simply have someone go and slit Tian Quezi's throat?
As long as Tian Quezi can no longer compete, then it will no longer be Yun Bahe's problem.
One-fourth of Great Zhou's Purple Gold Vein would also be preserved, and Emperor of Great Zhou would no longer have grounds to pick on the Yun Residence.
However, Ye Beiming was not pleased. He couldn't help but rap Yun Sheng's little head, his phoenix eyes half annoyed, half dissatisfied.
"Little Wildcat, you're not being fair. I've been entirely open and generous with you, always thinking of you first when it comes to good opportunities. Yet look at you, pushing me forward when it comes to a suicide mission."
Ye Beiming felt sour inside.
Yun Sheng held her head, scooted to the side, and stuck out her tongue: "You're one of us, why should I stand on ceremony with you? Besides, it was your own suggestion. You can't blame me for this. Who asked you to be so defiantly powerful? If you don't step up, there's simply no one else suitable for the job. It can't be that you'd want my second uncle and Vice Director Zhan to team up for a sneaky assassination, right?"
Ye Beiming, although still a bit upset, instantly brightened up when he heard the words "one of us" coming out of Yun Sheng's little mouth.
Well, that comment was indeed pleasing to hear.
Ye Beiming stroked his chin, "Although I can't personally join the fray, there's someone right beside you who would be a very suitable candidate right now."
He glanced at the Life Magic Artifact beside her.
"Rich Man Gold? You want it to assassinate Tian Quezi? That doesn't seem very reliable," Yun Sheng looked at the Life Magic Artifact beside her.
In the past few months, Rich Man Gold had indeed grown a lot, but it had only advanced to become an Intermediate Life Magic Artifact.
According to the descriptions in the Magic Artifact Encyclopedia, while an Intermediate Eternal Magical Artifact can emulate any combat skills or magic, it can't fully utilize the original power of the mage.
An Intermediate Eternal Magical Artifact can, at most, exert fifty percent of the combat skills or magic power.
So for ordinary martial artists or mages, Rich Man Gold's power can sweep through armies, but if it encounters the true powerhouses of the continent, Rich Man Gold would be inadequate.
"Whether it's reliable or not, I have my own judgment. If you're at ease, you can hand it over to me, and you don't have to worry about this matter. On the day of the competition, Tian Quezi will definitely not show up," Ye Beiming spoke with an indescribable, astonishing presence.
That was absolute confidence, the kind of dominance that only true powerhouses could emanate.
Yun Sheng looked at Rich Man Gold, then at Ye Beiming. The wealth of Ye Huli was much more substantial than hers.
Although Rich Man Gold was precious, compared to Yun Bahe… Yun Sheng quickly made up her mind and agreed to hand over Rich Man Gold to Ye Beiming for three days.
"However, I also have a condition. I've helped you with such a huge favor, you should give me something in return," Ye Beiming shifted his tone, reached out his long arm, and very smoothly scooped Yun Sheng into his embrace.
Yun Sheng was angry, but all she could do was glare!
This was not the first time Ye Beiming had been handsy with her.
But she was still no match for this guy.
In terms of Qi Power, Ye Beiming was like an iron fortress, and Yun Sheng suspected that even Bobbie would be in pain if it met him.
When it comes to magic... well, okay, her magic was no match for him. Although Ye Beiming did not use a Magic Wand, he was always able to easily break Yun Sheng's magic.
Since using force was no use, she might as well lie back and enjoy it.
After all, Ye Beiming was born well, and his physique was quite impressive.
From Yun Sheng's perspective, Ye Beiming's face was flawlessly perfect, without the slightest imperfection; even his eyelashes were thick and black, fluttering slightly, accelerating one's heartbeat involuntarily.
Being held in his arms felt not bad, Yun Sheng considered herself as if holding a human-shaped pillow.
But why was he holding her for no reason?
As Yun Sheng came back to her senses, she discovered Ye Beiming's handsome face getting closer and closer to her, his lips with perfect lines almost touching her cheek.
In her previous life, she had dated Liu Minglang, but because of her personality, she rarely engaged in intimate gestures with him, at most just kisses.
But she had never felt anything like what Ye Beiming was making her feel now.
How old was this body of hers? Surely Ye Huli wouldn't suddenly turn into a big bad wolf.
It shouldn't be a matter of paying back with her body just for helping out.
Yun Sheng hurriedly turned her face away, her body rigid.
Ye Beiming noticed Yun Sheng's unusual behavior, a trace of mischief flashing in his eyes.
His gaze fell upon Yun Sheng's half-exposed fair neck and beautifully shaped tender earlobes, revealed through her struggle.
With a slight tightness in his throat, an impulse surged in Ye Beiming's heart and his lips suddenly landed on Yun Sheng's ear, his hot breath skimming across her earlobe.
Yun Sheng felt as though her earlobes were boiled, burning hot, and she began to struggle fiercely with her arms and legs.
If this continued, she would really be devoured raw by the fox.
"Little Wildcat, stop wriggling, or this king really will devour you alive," Ye Beiming's lips grazed Yun Sheng's earlobe, lightly touching it. He knew that Yun Sheng didn't have romantic feelings for him yet, so he couldn't be too hasty.
Sooner or later, Little Wildcat would be his, and when she grew a bit more, he wouldn't let her off so easily.
"Help this king forge a batch of Weapons, integrating Purple Gold into them," Ye Beiming said slowly.
He had noticed Rich Man Gold, capable of forging Life Magic Artifacts, and it seemed Little Wildcat was not only adept at Alchemy, but her skills in Artifact Refining were also much more impressive than he had imagined.
Not making use of resources would not be consistent with Ye Huli's behavior.
Most of the Purple Gold Ore at Ye Beiming's disposal had already been crudely refined.
The smelting techniques of those Mages were far inferior to Yun Sheng's, and as for Ye Beiming's so-called repayments, he wished for Yun Sheng to help him forge a batch of Purple Gold weapons.
After Ye Beiming mentioned it, Yun Sheng remembered that the primary use of Purple Gold Ore wasn't to be smelted into Purple Gold Coins, but rather it was the highly-coveted Purple Gold Artifacts on the continent for both Martial Artists and Mages.
Ye Beiming and Yun Sheng had both acquired quite a number of Purple Gold Ores in the previous Purple Gold Vein.
One thing they had in common was that neither of them was short on money.
Yun Sheng knew how to refine pills, and Little Ci'en Hall was gradually beginning to make a profit; the business of the Sky Hunting Corps was also booming, with money rolling in continually.
Ye Beiming had a series of organizations at his command, including the Wanlong Gambling House.
Both were masters of wealth, so after acquiring the Purple Gold Vein, they didn't immediately refine it into Purple Gold Coins.
Ye Beiming's request was simple; he would provide Purple Gold Ore and the corresponding weapons, armor, and Magic Wands, while Yun Sheng was responsible for helping him forge Purple Gold Holy Weapons.
