As Bai Ye's words fell, the bartender had already served a cocktail. However, the woman did not appreciate it. She didn't even look at Bai Ye and directly said, "Give me another whiskey."

"Beautiful lady, do you have something on your mind? If you don't mind, can you tell me? I think I would be a good listener. Talking about it might help you relax. What do you think?" Bai Ye prepared himself, ready to play the role of a caring big sister. This was the best approach he could think of. After all, Bai Ye was not good at romance and didn't understand it. He preferred straightforwardness, or money, or force!

Putting aside his somewhat slender build, Bai Ye was still quite handsome. He had a sunny appearance and deep, captivating eyes. If given time, with a good physique, he would undoubtedly be a heartthrob to countless girls.

"Get lost!"

Without any unnecessary words, she didn't even turn to look at him. Direct and concise, one word represented all her feelings.

Bai Ye smiled awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed. Are women nowadays all so tough? If it weren't for the fact that I value you for your potential to aid my cultivation, I wouldn't even talk to you.

Feeling embarrassed, Bai Ye decided to keep quiet. This wasn't the right time. Once he figured out the woman's movements and residence, there would always be an opportunity. As a Xuanxiang Lingti, she was too valuable for him to give up easily.

Such a beautiful and exceptional woman naturally attracted attention. Soon, someone in the bar approached. Three men, dressed in trendy outfits, came over.

One of them forcibly inserted himself between Bai Ye and the woman, while the leader on the other side boldly covered the woman's glass with his hand.

Seeing this, Bai Ye immediately frowned. Just as the man reached out, he had slipped some powder into the woman's glass. Was he drugging her? Hmph. How could I let you take the woman I have my eyes on? Moreover, this is a Xuanxiang Lingti, whose value to me is no less than the earth's qi. Bai Ye's face darkened, and a murderous intent appeared. If it came to a conflict, so be it. Cultivation is a competition. Without competition, how can one succeed?

"Beautiful lady, how about we have a drink together?" The man smiled wickedly, his eyes aggressively scrutinizing the woman.

At the same time, he looked at the bartender with a domineering tone, "Awen, give this beautiful lady a Passionate Kiss."

"Sure thing."

Soon, another cocktail was pushed in front of the woman. But she still said one word: "Get lost!"

However, this man was not as easy to deal with as Bai Ye. He didn't get angry but instead laughed and raised his Passionate Kiss, making a toast. "What? Not giving me any face? At least have a drink, right?"

The two lackeys also chimed in, "Beautiful lady, you can't refuse our Big Brother Qiang, can you?"

Thug? This word echoed in the woman's mind. She suddenly understood. These were the kind of people who frequented nightclubs and bars, living a life of debauchery, always looking for women. You could refuse their advances, but it was clear they had a bit of a forceful attitude.

The woman hesitated for a moment and finally gave in. She picked up the glass, lightly clinked it with the man's, and was about to take a sip. At that moment, Bai Ye reached out and took the glass.

His movements were quick, and the woman looked at him with surprise. Her large, alluring, and sexy eyes also had a hint of cuteness. Bai Ye inwardly praised, "A Xuanxiang Lingti truly embodies all the essence of the world."

How could I let you, a bunch of scumbags, ruin my chosen woman with such despicable means? This is no joke.

Remember, the importance of a Xuanxiang Lingti is no less than that of the dragon vein's qi. The earth's qi will eventually run out, but a Xuanxiang Lingti is a continuous source. Although its effects are weaker, it accumulates over time.

"Kid, which family didn't secure their underpants, letting you run out?" The leader said in a deep voice. Just as he was about to succeed, someone interfered, making him furious.

The lackey closer to Bai Ye shouted, "F*ck, do you want to die?"

"Slap!"

A loud and clear slap landed on the lackey's face. Although Bai Ye's physical condition was not great, he still had some skills.

At the same time, Bai Ye said, "Get lost. Some things are understood, no need to spell them out."

The lackey's face changed. Drugging a stranger in a bar is illegal. Even if the bar owner found out, he would be in trouble. Business relies on customers.

If there were no rules, the bar would turn into a hangout for thugs. As long as it was consensual, the owner wouldn't interfere. Whether you used money or charm, it was your business. But drugging someone is absolutely not allowed.

The man glared at Bai Ye and said, "Kid, you wait. I'll get you."

Bai Ye was very calm and didn't take them seriously, smiling, "Sure, I'll look forward to it."

The thugs left, and the bar returned to its calm. The woman softly said, "Thank you."

Her voice was pleasant and had a wild allure. Indeed, a woman favored by heaven is always outstanding.

Bai Ye smiled, "No problem, since you're the woman I have my eyes on."

The woman was taken aback, her expression freezing. She didn't expect Bai Ye to be so straightforward. Then she smiled, "Why didn't you force me earlier?"

As she spoke, her eyes scrutinized Bai Ye, "Although you look weak, as a man, you should be able to easily overpower a woman, right?"

Bai Ye was speechless. Indeed, being weak is a hard flaw. Half a year of chaos has left me with some imperfections. Is it really that easy to look down on me?

He smiled and said, "Some parts aren't weak. Isn't that enough?"

The woman's eyes widened again. This gentleman, saying such lewd words so openly and confidently. Can you have a bit of shame?

But regardless, Bai Ye had helped her out. Even though she didn't care or fear, she still needed to thank him.

Bai Ye smiled, "Let me introduce myself, Bai Ye!"

She smiled, "Suxuan. Although I'm not in a good mood today, I'm glad to meet you... uh, such a scoundrel."

Bai Ye wasn't upset. Hypocrisy, is there a need for it? Darwin's theory of natural selection and survival of the fittest is the essence of competition. In any world, it's the strong preying on the weak. Without competition, human development would be painfully slow.

"Suxuan! A beautiful name, fitting for you... uh!" Bai Ye was speaking, looking at Suxuan, and suddenly shouted.

At that moment, Suxuan had already downed the remaining whiskey in one go.

Seeing Bai Ye's expression, Suxuan was taken aback, "What? You've never seen a woman drink boldly?"

Bai Ye was speechless and shook his head, "Do you know why I stopped you from drinking? Because those men drugged your drink. It's definitely not something good."

This made Suxuan's face change. It was clear she came from a good family, her clothes and accessories exuding wealth and luxury.

But what good is wealth when faced with such a situation? Suxuan panicked, "Ah, what should I do? Will I..."

She couldn't continue, her face turning red. Clearly, she was thinking of some scenes that would make her blush and feel embarrassed.

Bai Ye shook his head, sighing, "Let's go. Since you just drank it, we can try to induce vomiting and then soak in cold water for a few hours. It should be fine."
