Chapter 345: Be my man

Chapter 345: Be my man

Ye Zhongming was stunned but still let Xia Lei into the room.

This beautiful woman showed shocking commanding ability and high combat strength during the Ying City operation.

Without Ye Zhongming, she could coordinate with the two other factions in Ying City, intercepting Soul Merchant. Xia Lei did that all on her own. In the apocalypse without communication devices, this wasn’t an easy matter.

If not for the accident happening to Ye Zhongming, Xia Lei would have led Renxing Battle Squad and Star Beauty Company to consume the three saints.

Moreover, Ye Zhongming was quite surprised when she managed to kill Abyss Mountain. Soul Merchant consolidated resources to nurture the saints. But Xia Lei was just nurtured by Ye Zhongming with one job scroll and one level-three potion. Ye Zhongming was impressed with such a woman.

Ye Zhongming even felt like if she was a four-star evolved, could he defeat her without using his equipment?

“I wanted to hand it to you tomorrow, but you came at the right time.”

Ye Zhongming took the notebook from Bai Feng and passed it to Xia Lei.

This thing would be much more useful in her hands when he wasn’t here.

She took the book and tossed it aside without looking at it all.

He frowned and didn’t say anything.

“Why don’t you say where you are going? Why don’t you tell us how long? Do you think I can’t tell that you are arranging for your final rites?”

She exploded. The strength of her aura shocked Ye Zhongming.

“Do you think that is being responsible? Do you think you are doing good for us? You can leave happily?”

She wasn’t afraid of Ye Zhongming, and now that she was worried and felt like he was lying to her, she was even more aggressive.

“Tell me the truth!”

Ye Zhongming touched his nose and said helplessly, “I am going to tell you when I am about to leave; who knew you would be so anxious?”

Ye Zhongming coughed as he looked at her furious gaze, “I bumped into the evil dragon, and it was level-six. I could only open this thing.”

Ye Zhongming showed the opened Secret Realm Key and showed it to Xia Lei.

The key shone gently, but Xia Lei knew it wasn’t stable.

“This is...?”

“This is the Secret Realm key, a... Space that is different from Earth. I wasn’t the match of the dragon, so I opened it and sent the dragon in. As I have the key, I have time to prepare.”

Xia Lei’s expression changed, and she wanted to touch the key. But she was afraid it would react, so she retracted her hand.

The two of them were silent, and a while later, Xia Lei stood up and walked outside.e

“What are you doing?” Ye Zhongming stood up and asked.

“Gather the troops; we are going to follow you in!”

Xia Lei didn’t stop and was at the door. Ye Zhongming hurriedly grabbed her arm.

“No need, I can just go in alone!”

“Let go!” Xia Lei hollered and she got emotional.

“It is very dangerous inside that you don’t know you can survive. You might even bump into the level-six dragon immediately, so why can’t we follow you? We started as a team, so why can’t we continue now?”

Xia Lei tossed his hand aside, “It is hazardous. You think you might die, so you don’t want us to die with you, right?”

Ye Zhongming didn’t say a word. The truth wasn’t hard to guess.

“Should I be grateful? Did you pass me your base? It is as if I benefited from you?”

Ye Zhongming could only smile bitterly.

“How confident are you in surviving?”

Xia Lei panted and then calmed herself down. She asked suddenly.

Ye Zhognming thought about it, “I had a 10% chance. But I asked Bai Feng and got some news from Ying City; I think I have a 30% chance.”

Xia Lei heaved a sigh of relief. 30% didn’t seem like much, but it was better than certain death.

“You know that I am always lucky. Now that I am stronger, I will be careful. So be confident in me and help me care for this home.”

Ye Zhongming smiled and consoled her. This woman was an essential helper of his, and it was important for her to lead Cloud Peak.

Xia Lei bit her lips and looked at Ye Zhongming in a daze.

“You leave and let me take over. I will help protect the base. Once you return, you return as a king, and everyone will cheer. You will become the leader again, right?”

Ye Zhongming blinked.

“I will continue to support you and listen to your orders. I will go from the leader to a subordinate, is that it?”

Er... Ye Zhongming scratched his head, “This, I will repay you.”

“Repay? How to repay?” She laughed and mocked him, “Isn’t it better that I use Cloud Peak’s resources to obtain what I want? Why should I wait for you like a dog?”

“That isn’t...”

“It is to me.”

Xia Lei interrupted his words and stepped forward. Her chest was on his.

“I will only serve one person.” Xia Lei pressed his collar.

“En? What person?” His eyes flashed, and his breathing became rushed.

“My man.”

She raised her head and looked at his eyes. Her white cheeks turned red.

“I can help you defend the home, and I can help you expand Cloud Peak; I can return everything to you when you are back...”

“But you need to be my man. Only then will I serve you; if not, forget it!”

Although she had always been a tough lady and even disrespected his power, at this moment, he felt warm.

Being her man was just an excuse. She was using the strength and pride she had previously to cover her unwillingness in him leaving.

She unbuttoned her shirt and showed her chest that every guy would stare at. She lifted his hand and placed it in between. The warmth made his blood heat up.

There was a scar there.

“This was left because of you. You need to explain; then I can give Cloud Peak an explanation, give myself an... Explanation.”
