1228 Western Liang Black Deser (1/2)

”Watch what you say! Xu Gong is here!”

Lan Mengcheng looked embarrassed.

”Don't worry, President Lan! I'll leave now! I won't get in your way! I will make sure to tell the others not to come in and disturb the both of you so that you can enjoy your own time…”

Before he left, Xu Gong gave Chen Xiaobei a thumbs up and said, ”Chairman, you're incredible!”

”Xu Gong! Don't go! It's not what you think!” blurted Lan Mengcheng, blushed.

The fact was that she and Chen Xiaobei had merely been holding hands, and only shared the occasional peck. They had yet to graduate to that deeper level of intimacy!

”You idiot! Where am I supposed to hide my face if you say things like that?” Lan Mengcheng was normally very calm and collected but when it came to things like that, she was as shy as a mouse.

”I did it on purpose!” shrugged Chen Xiaobei while smiling playfully at her. ”So that it will pass from ears to ears and lips to lips until everyone will know that you've been taken! Then no one will come and bother you anymore!”

”You're… right…” Lan Mengcheng quickly changed the topic. ”You haven't told me yet! Why would the Wulin Chief Alliance listen to you?”

”If you really want to know, I'll just tell you then. As I have told you, Liu Xiuyuan and I were enemies. He was involved in the attack of Bei Xuan faction. A few of the powerful factions were on a mission to destroy my faction. But in the end, I had not only spared Liu Xiuyuan and Liu Chunyi's lives but I also helped them resolve some issues so that they could reunite as a family! Because of that, Liu Xiuyuan was very thankful to me. Even though it was not publicly announced, Liu Xiuyuan has already submitted to my command, and he's loyal to a fault!”

Chen Xiaobei explained everything in detail, keeping nothing from Lan Mengcheng. There was no need to keep secrets in this relationship.

Telling her would help her realize that Chen Xiaobei was not weak, which in turn, would help lessen her anxiety.

”If this is all true…” It was going to take a while for Lan Mengcheng to digest the shock. ”If this is true then how strong are you now?”

”100,000 combat power!” revealed Chen Xiaobei without even trying to be modest. ”Other than the ancient faction, no enemy can beat me! If anyone bullies you next time, you don't have to swallow it! Just tell them to f*ck off and die!”

”Er…”

Lan Mengcheng looked at Chen Xiaobei, feeling a little estranged.

She knew Chen Xiaobei the longest. They went all the way back to when Chen Xiaobei was just a weak and poor little peasant boy.

She knew how hard Chen Xiaobei had been working to continue improving himself.

But he was only human to her eyes, not a demi-god. No matter how hard he worked or whatever progress he made, it could not have escalated so quickly.

That was exactly why Lan Mengcheng always thought that Chen Xiaobei was not strong enough. Every time Chen Xiaobei had to fight, she would always start panicking like a headless chicken!

Now that Chen Xiaobei had shone light on his actual strength, Lan Mengcheng was blown away!

”Why? You don't believe it?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

”I do… I know that you won't lie to me…” Lan Mengcheng nodded as if to convince herself; a hint of uncertainty in her voice. She had obviously yet to recover from the shock.

Chen Xiaobei said nothing, He just smiled, believing that it was only a matter of time before she would eventually swallow that truth.

True enough, after a while, Lan Mengcheng was no longer hanging on that question. ”You mentioned Xuanxin. Is she the Liu Xuanxin, one of the two Dragon City's legendary beauties?”

”Er… Yes…”

Chen Xiaobei started to feel a little queasy. When Lan Mengcheng mentioned Liu Xuanxin, Chen Xiaobei had this sudden feeling of guilt like a child caught with hands in the cookie jar.
