Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2188: Chapter 2189: Playboy Young City Lord (First Update)

With the end of the sentence, a radiant light swiftly approached, and as the figure emerged, it was remarkably a young nobleman dressed in splendid robes.

Although this young man had a handsome appearance, there was a latent malice between his brows, especially when he saw Yue Qinghuan. A deep desire surged in his eyes as if he wanted to devour Yue Qinghuan whole.

Even though it was just a fleeting moment, returning to normal quickly, Xue An still caught sight of it.

However, Xue An said nothing, only a playful smile curling at his lips as he quietly watched from the side.

Upon seeing this youth, the distant crowd began to stir.

"Young City Lord!"

"It’s the Young City Lord!"

Many whispered in astonishment.

Others looked at Yue Qinghuan with eyes full of sympathy and pity, as if they already foresaw her tragic fate.

For in the whole of Bead City, who wasn’t aware of the Young City Lord’s peculiar tastes?

At this moment, the young man approached with a beaming smile and politely cupped his hands.

"I wondered why I could faintly smell the unique fragrance of Miss Yue since I woke up today. It turns out it was a sign you would return today!"

A man eagerly says to a girl that he smelled her unique scent. No matter how you hear it, it sounds like teasing.

It felt like deliberate provocation.

At least Yue Qinghuan’s eyes flashed with cold light upon hearing it, but she quickly regained her composure, responding with a charming smile.

"Oh? In that case, the Young City Lord is very thoughtful!"

Indeed!

This young man was none other than Zhang Jinju, son of Zhang Pengtian, the City Lord of Bead City.

This person lived a debauched life, indulging in women and particularly enjoying cruelty. The women he toyed with were often left either dead or maimed.

That’s why the onlookers had gazed at Yue Qinghuan with sympathy.

In their eyes, Yue Qinghuan had clearly become the prey targeted by this playboy Young City Lord.

At that moment, upon seeing Yue Qinghuan’s smile, Zhang Jinju couldn’t help but be slightly dazed.

No matter his exposure to various beauties, Zhang Jinju realized at this moment that compared to the girl with light purple eyes and bare feet before him,

the so-called beauties he had seen were nothing but mediocre and vulgar, unworthy of mention.

So quickly, Zhang Jinju’s eyes filled with increasing greed and desire, though fleetingly suppressed, Yue Qinghuan noticed it, her smile gradually chilling.

It should be known that when she passed through Bead City on her way to The Multiverse, Zhang Jinju had been mesmerized at the sight of her and immediately pursued her relentlessly.

With Yue Qinghuan’s sharp wit, how could she not discern his intentions?

But back then, Yue Qinghuan was eager to reach The Multiverse, and the only path was to contact the Shadow Turtle Race through Bead City.

Hence, Yue Qinghuan had forced herself to curb her anger and feign engagement with Zhang Jinju.

Unexpectedly, a few teasing words made Zhang Jinju, already entranced, overjoyed, believing he had once again won a heart.

He thought that upon Yue Qinghuan’s return, he would be able to bask in her favor.

Since Yue Qinghuan’s departure, Zhang Jinju had practically visited the city gates daily to await her return.

Patience rewarded him for today; he finally awaited Yue Qinghuan’s return.

If not for the many present, Zhang Jinju wished he could bring "justice" to Yue Qinghuan on the spot.

At this moment, suppressing the lust in his heart, he considered himself genteelly smiling, "Miss Yue is too kind, just call me Jinju in the future."

With that, he stepped forward with feigned intimacy and asked with a smile, "Can I call you Qing Huan from now on?"

Yue Qinghuan nearly gagged at the suggestion.

No one had dared speak to her so rudely since childhood.

Her eyebrows furrowed, ready to erupt.

Now without need from Bead City, she saw no reason to endure.

But just then, Xue An’s calm voice whispered in her ear.

"Do not lose your temper yet; just humor him a little longer!"

Yue Qinghuan was startled.

What did this mean?

Why should she humor him further?

Did it mean she still needed to put on an act with this creep?

Anger surged through Yue Qinghuan, and she shot accusing eyes at Xue An, questioning him silently.

Why?

Xue An smiled faintly, lips unmoving, yet his voice again sounded in her ear.

"Just do as I say; why all the fuss?"

Yue Qinghuan’s anger flared higher.

Who did this guy think she was?

Was she someone to be trifled with?

At this moment, Zhang Jinju noticed Yue Qinghuan’s abnormal behavior. Looking in the direction of her gaze, he then saw Xue An standing aside.

Upon seeing Xue An, clad in white with eyebrows like blades and exceedingly handsome features, Zhang Jinju felt a natural revulsion.

Especially noticing Yue Qinghuan looking at Xue An, this aversion grew stronger.

Yet, he disguised it well, soon smilingly asking, "Qing Huan, who is this...?"

He deliberately addressed her warmly, subtly challenging Xue An.

But before Yue Qinghuan could respond, Xue An smiled and said, "I am Miss Yue’s friend, merely passing by together."

Speaking, Xue An’s voice once again whispered in Yue Qinghuan’s ear.

"Say nothing. If you want to uncover the whereabouts of the missing Shadow Turtle Race and maintain relations with the Shadow Turtle Emperor, do as I say!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Qinghuan’s mouth shut immediately.

If through this event she could maintain the Bing Family’s ties with the Shadow Turtle Race, it would be most fortunate.

Thus, she held her silence.

At this moment, Zhang Jinju nodded arrogantly.

"Oh, just a friend!"

Zhang Jinju realized this white-clad youth’s cultivation level was only a Half-step Immortal Venerate.

Moreover, judging by his aura, he seemed to have just recently ascended.

Relieved greatly by this, seeing this youth as a trivial character in Bead City.

With that thought, he deliberately ignored Xue An, smiling slightly at Yue Qinghuan.

"Qing Huan, I recently acquired a few high-quality Treasure Beads, saved especially for you. Come and see if any catch your fancy?"

Understanding her role, Yue Qinghuan put on a flawless performance, smiling sweetly and responding.

"Since Jinju is so thoughtful, how could I refuse such a kind offer!"
