Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 362 - : The Deal
Chapter 362: Chapter 362: The Deal
This area resembled the ruins of the apocalypse, surrounded on all sides by police, who had tightly sealed it off.
Li Xiaoyao moved like a phantom, slipping through the police cordon, and arrived in front of Second Master’s shop.

The building had collapsed, and rubble and splintered wood littered the area. Li Xiaoyao approached the obscured entrance.
The stones and wooden boards at the entrance slowly levitated, revealing the entryway beneath.
Li Xiaoyao’s figure flickered as he jumped down, and the stones and wooden boards slammed down with a bang.
His mind was ahead of his physical presence.
The upper and lower levels of the Spirit Stone Vein had been breached, and the already spacious area seemed even more expansive.
Li Xiaoyao landed and his gaze instantly locked onto the woman and the giant serpent.
The giant serpent, with its enormous body coiled into a circle, lay submissively by the woman’s side. The woman, perched on a coffin, was still completely naked, her long, straight legs swinging on the coffin lid, dazzling to the eyes.
Facing the serpent, Li Xiaoyao’s muscles tensed as he stood still, right palm clutching a piece of Talisman Paper.
This was a Teleportation Array Simple Talisman that could instantaneously transport him to any location within a thousand miles once activated.
This was the only countermeasure Li Xiaoyao could think of. The giant serpent was too powerful; a direct confrontation offered no advantage.
The atmosphere turned somewhat eerie. Li Xiaoyao took the initiative to speak, “What do you want me to do?”
The giant serpent’s red lips parted slightly, “Find me a Seventh Grade Alchemist.”
“A Seventh Grade Alchemist?” Li Xiaoyao’s eyelids twitched fiercely. He said, “Do you think a cultivator of my level could know such a high-profile person? You really overestimate me.”
“That’s your problem, not mine,” the serpent replied coldly. “I’ll give you one month. If you can’t find one, I’ll kill those little girlfriends of yours.”
Li Xiaoyao was instantly enraged. He said, “Do you think Seventh Grade Alchemists are as common as cabbages on the street? Even if you kill me, it’s impossible for me to find one for you in just one month.”
The giant serpent pondered for a few seconds, seemingly realizing that its demand was quite difficult for Li Xiaoyao.
“One year, that is my bottom line.”
“One year?” Li Xiaoyao felt that a year’s time did hold some hope. Besides, within that year, his Cultivation Level would certainly increase, and by then, even if he couldn’t find a Seventh Grade Alchemist, at least he would have the power to protect himself.
“Fine, one year. I agree,” Li Xiaoyao nodded and asked, “May I leave now?”
“Leave?” The giant serpent laughed a few times, scornfully looking at him. “If you take those girls and escape to the ends of the earth, wouldn’t I be powerless against you?”
A sense of alarm struck Li Xiaoyao’s heart. Could it be that the giant serpent was planning to do something to him?
The body of the giant serpent twisted, moving in front of Li Xiaoyao. Its young eyes exuded a seductive charm, and Li Xiaoyao was under the illusion that facing him was not a serpent but the woman seated upon the coffin.
With this thought in his mind, Li Xiaoyao’s gaze subconsciously shifted to the woman.
Seemingly feeling Li Xiaoyao’s gaze, the woman jumped down from the coffin, and as she moved her legs, a myriad of charms flowed. Her body, which seemed to have been sculpted by a god, made it difficult for Li Xiaoyao to look away.
The woman approached Li Xiaoyao, her spirited eyes blinking as she parted her red lips and asked, “Do you like what you see?”
Uh…
“Yes,” Li Xiaoyao replied firmly, as he could not go against what he truly felt.
“Keep looking, and I’ll gouge out your dog eyes,” the serpent enunciated each word with a palpable threat.
Li Xiaoyao hurriedly looked away; Qing Snake let out a light hum and said, “Look back this way.”
When his gaze returned, he noticed that the woman had donned a thin, cyan robe at some point, through which her fair, taut skin was clearly visible and alluring beneath.
Li Xiaoyao was somewhat puzzled: What exactly was the relationship between this man and snake?
“Is she your master?”
Qing Snake hummed lightly and said, “We were originally one and the same, but due to a great battle thousands of years ago, my soul scattered. As I was on the brink of death, that baldy sealed me here. That baldy really was spineless; if he had killed me back then, would he be having these troubles today?”
“For all these years, I’ve been searching day and night for my scattered souls. Finally, today, my Three Souls and Seven Spirits are reunited, only it’s a pity…” Qing Snake suddenly stopped, piquing Li Xiaoyao’s curiosity.
“Only what’s a pity?”
“Enough, you don’t need to know so much,” said Qing Snake. “Starting today, I will stay by your side to supervise you.”
“Stay by my side?” Li Xiaoyao almost cursed out loud. Had she got it wrong? Having such a dangerous person by his side, he wouldn’t be able to sleep in peace, let alone do anything sneaky.
Qing Snake’s voice was ice cold as she asked, “Is there a problem?”
Is there a problem? Of course, there was a problem, a big problem.
But Li Xiaoyao couldn’t refuse, or rather, refusal was futile.
“No problem,” Li Xiaoyao said dejectedly, looking at Qing Snake’s huge body and making one last struggle: “If you follow me around like this, do you think I would still have a chance to meet a Seventh Grade Alchemist?”
“Is that so?” Qing Snake laughed softly, suddenly a cyan light bloomed from her body, and her massive form vanished in an instant, replaced by a small green-scaled snake one finger in length.
Qing Snake wiggled its little tail, floating in front of Li Xiaoyao, and said, “Does this work for you?”
Li Xiaoyao knew he could not avoid this and sighed, “That will do.”
Qing Snake turned to look at the coffin and said, “That baldy sealed me here with impure motives.”
Qing Snake slipped next to the coffin and closed her eyes as if feeling something. After a while, she said, “What a scheme to kill two birds with one stone; he used my power to suppress him!”
Li Xiaoyao was startled; what was the origin of this Qing Snake, and who was the baldy she was referring to?
From her words, Li Xiaoyao acquired several pieces of useful information.
It seemed that beneath the ground beneath his feet, a mysterious power was hidden—a power that had been in existence for thousands of years.
Qing Snake flew back in front of Li Xiaoyao and said, “Let’s go, leave this place.”
“What about the Spirit Stones here?”
“Take them all if you like,” Qing Snake said dismissively, seeing Li Xiaoyao’s dithering, considering it a mere Spirit Stone Vein.
However, what was merely an ordinary Spirit Stone Vein to her was the very foundation of Li Xiaoyao’s existence.
Li Xiaoyao saw the Spirit Stone harvesting machine not far away and tried to sense it. Hmm, it wasn’t broken and still usable.
“Well then… let’s go.” Li Xiaoyao looked at the woman draped in a translucent long robe and asked, “What about her? And by the way, my name is Li Xiaoyao. What’s your name?”
“Xiao Qing.” After Xiao Qing spoke, she flickered and dove into the sleeves of the woman’s robe and said, “Let’s go.”
Xiao Qing led the way upwards, and Li Xiaoyao glanced back at the coffin before following after her.
