Liu Yuan left one blue pill, stuffed the rest back in, and cleaned up the traces he had left behind. Just as he stepped out of the room, he heard a scream from the bathroom!

"Holy crap, is Li Canyang this good?"

But soon the girl's voice stopped abruptly, and there was no more sound, only the beast-like growl slowly fading away in the bathroom.

Liu Yuan quickly closed the door gently and ran back to his room.

He had a premonition that if he stayed any longer, he might end up like the girl... The voice he had just heard was completely abnormal; it sounded more like the girl's screams before she died.

What exactly happened in the bathroom?

About half an hour later, there was a knock on Liu Yuan's door.

Liu Yuan mustered his courage and opened the door. Li Canyang, dressed and standing in the doorway, had a livid face, but his hair was still wet.

"That woman is dead."

"died?"

"Ah."

"..." Liu Yuan lit a cigarette, trembling. "I understand. Brother Li, you can leave now. I'll have someone from the company handle it."

Li Canyang gave Liu Yuan a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the elevator.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Liu Yuan slumped against them.

If he had given himself away just now, Liu Yuan felt that his life would have been in danger.

After a short while, he took out his communicator and called two bodyguards upstairs. These were specially provided by his family to help Liu Yuan clean up some messes.

After two burly men in black suits and sunglasses came up, Liu Yuan led them into the bathroom where the incident had occurred.

Water was still dripping from the showerhead, and the girl inside was already dead. She was only covered by a white bath towel, which concealed her beautiful body and her completely broken neck.

"Grass!"

Liu Yuan punched the wall.

He never expected it would result in a death!

The bodyguards began handling the scene with expressionless faces; it was their profession.

Looking into the girl's unseeing eyes, Liu Yuan reached out to help her rest in peace.

"Send more money to this girl's family."

Back in the corridor, stepping onto the red luxury carpet, Liu Yuan took out the blue pill and examined it carefully.

He had previously considered secretly trying the drug, but after seeing the girl's miserable condition, that idea vanished.

He even felt that the small blue pill was incredibly heavy.

"Just how many lives are still inside this little thing?"

……

Glacier Warrior plopped into the Porsche, but instead of starting the car immediately, he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

"Fuck you!"

He slammed his fist on the steering wheel and threw a candy box at the passenger seat.

"Thud! Splash!"

The candy box was smashed open, and the white chewing gum inside spilled all over the floor.

"How many times has this happened already!"

The glacier warrior's bloodshot eyes were fixed on his trembling hands.

After a long while, he finally calmed down and then awkwardly picked up the white chewing gum pieces one by one from the passenger seat and put them away.

"Where's the last one?"

Li Canyang searched for a while longer but still couldn't find it. He figured it must have fallen into the crevice.

"Forget it, the next transaction is in a few days anyway, so it doesn't matter if I get one more or one less."

After staring blankly at the exquisite candy box for a while, Li Canyang started the car expressionlessly.

The next day.

Kunlun Heroes Economic Company.

Mechanical Warrior put down the report in his hand while drinking coffee.

"Ah Yuan went out with the Glacier Warrior, and a girl died?"

The staff member standing nearby nodded.

"Hmph!" The mechanical warrior slammed the coffee onto the table, spilling half of the black coffee liquid.

Seeing this, the dragon, whose body was wrapped in bandages, pulled out a few napkins and wiped away the coffee.

“Father, I’ve looked into this matter, and it actually has little to do with A-Yuan.”

He tried to extricate his brother from the matter.

"You don't need to explain for him. I thought this kid had grown up and knew how to help us win over the A-level heroes under our command. I never expected him to cause a death!"

"You should know how much the company paid to resolve the incident where Glacier Warriors affected civilians last time. We even gave away several spots in this year's Hero Trainee selection. If this incident gets out, how much damage will it do to Glacier Warriors' image? How much will it affect the company's stock price!"

A beam of light flashed in the mechanical warrior's palm, instantly vaporizing the newspaper.

"If it weren't for the fact that Glacier Warrior can still bring good profits to the company, I would definitely send this guy to Hero Prison by myself."

The dragon remained silent. He knew his father well; as long as there was still profit to be made after weighing the options, he would not give up on the Glacier Warrior.

"Go and give that guy a good warning, and make sure it doesn't happen again!"

"Yes."

The dragon slowly rose to his feet, sensing that something fishy was going on.

Although he longed to have a heart-to-heart talk with his younger brother, the dragon knew it was impossible.

Let me warn Glacier Warrior: it's fine if he likes to court death, but don't drag my brother into it!

……

Fan Peng was driving, and Yang Xi was in the passenger seat.

"I really don't understand. No normal man would be willing to move out of that paradise-like apartment, right? Are you out of your mind, Lao Yang!"

Fan Peng couldn't help but feel regretful when he thought that he could no longer use visiting Yang Xi as an excuse to experience the atmosphere of the apartment, which blurred certain boundaries and satisfied certain male fantasies.

My buddy is really oblivious to how lucky he is.

Yang Xi rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the roadside trees receding outside the car window. "That's all your imagination. Do you know how inconvenient it is to live with a bunch of women?"

Fan Peng curled his lip, "Tch, the inconvenience you're talking about is the essence of that apartment, okay!"

"..." Yang Xi was speechless. "Old Fan, sometimes I really think you're pretty weird."

"What a coincidence, I also think you're pretty weird, Lao Yang."

"We actually agree quite well on each other's assessments."

The car was parked at the entrance of an upscale residential community in Lukang City.

Fan Peng asked Yang Xi, "By the way, where did you get the money to rent such a nice apartment?"

Yang Xi said, "It was a gift from my godson."

"Fine, forget it. You must have won the lottery. Enough about the other brothers, we have to make sure tonight's dinner is all set."

Yang Xi was also helpless; sometimes, when he told the truth, no one believed him.

……

As night fell, after Fan Peng left, Yang Xi lay down alone on the large bed.

This large, single-level apartment, with a monthly rent of 10,000 yuan, is fully furnished and ready to move in. For an extra fee, hotel-style cleaning services are also provided. However, it is not very suitable for special groups like Yang Xi who need to keep their privacy confidential.

"Now I'm finally all alone, and it feels rather lonely."

Yang Xi rolled over on the big bed.

"Speaking of which, I haven't used the summoning-type [Snow Woman] ability since that battle."

Yang Xi activated the C-grade Snow Maiden Ability Bead within his body.

Activating his superpower consumed some of Yang Xi's mental energy, and a six-pointed star summoning circle appeared on the wooden floor of the bedroom.

A flash of red light appeared, and a delicately beautiful little girl appeared on the summoning circle.

The little girl was wearing a cherry blossom kimono, her chubby little hands were crossed a little nervously, she secretly looked at Yang Xi with her ruby-like eyes, and timidly called out.

"Master...Master."

Yang Xi, who hadn't activated his fiery superpower, was shivering from the cold.

This...this...can someone tell me why the C-rank Yuki-onna is so small?

044 The Snow Woman Who Likes to Warm Up by the Fire

After a while, Yang Xi recovered from the surprise of the "mature woman turning into a loli". Fortunately, he didn't plan to do anything shameful to the snow woman. If she turned into a loli, so be it.

After activating his fiery power, Yang Xi's body temperature gradually rose. The Snow Maiden keenly sensed the change in the surrounding temperature, and her gaze towards Yang Xi held a faint...longing.

Yang Xi found it very strange: "You...you're not afraid of the heat?"

The snow woman nodded obediently and said, "Master, may I move a little closer? Little Snow likes warm places."

Halfway through her sentence, the Snow Woman became a little disappointed, "But the people that Snow Girl encounters immediately become very, very cold."

Huh! Yang Xi suddenly realized he'd been a bit reckless. Those people who got touched by the Snow Woman were probably frozen solid!

But Xiaoxue's chubby hands had already grabbed Yang Xi's clothes, and she just pounced on the bed like an idiot, her two little legs dangling in the air.

She closed her eyes comfortably, "It's so warm! Master is amazing, he won't get cold!"

The little girl was comfortable, but Yang Xi's body heat was constantly being lost. If it weren't for the E-level raging fire constantly providing heat to his body, he would have turned into an ice pop!

"Fortunately, this seems to be just a passive attack by the Snow Woman, otherwise even the raging fire of an E-rank ability wouldn't be able to withstand the heat absorption of a C-rank Snow Woman."

Hey, hey, hey, don't come any closer!
