Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 34 Capturing Qingqing's Heart (Part 1)

"It's me all along. What, Miss Qingqing, don't you recognize me?" Ye Xiaofeng smiled slightly at Qingqing.

"I know him, but I never expected that Young Master Ye would become a boss, and I knew nothing about him," Qingqing said with a self-deprecating laugh.

"Don't you know now?"

"I don't know whether to call you Boss or Young Master Ye," Qingqing said, creating a distance between herself and Ye Xiaofeng, unlike before.

"You can call me Xiaofeng, or you can call me Young Master Ye like everyone else. You can call me whatever you like." Ye Xiaofeng was not putting on airs at all, speaking as if he were talking to a friend.

"I'd rather call you Young Master Ye, just like the manager and the others do," Qingqing said softly, then took out the card Ye Xiaofeng had given her and returned it to him.

"Qingqing, may I invite you for a cup of tea now?" Ye Xiaofeng smiled and looked at Qingqing, whose curvaceous figure constantly attracted Ye Xiaofeng's attention.

"Mmm," Qingqing nodded slightly in agreement.

Qingqing wanted to make tea for Ye Xiaofeng, and Ye Xiaofeng had the same idea. Just then, the two of them grabbed the teapot at the same time, and Ye Xiaofeng held Qingqing's hand.

"Uh, sorry," Ye Xiaofeng said politely, quickly withdrawing his hand.

"It's okay," Qingqing blushed immediately, but still poured tea for Ye Xiaofeng and herself.

"Why are you standing? Sit down and talk," Ye Xiaofeng said amiably, but he still maintained a smile on his face.

Luo Shaotian waited outside for three hours, wondering what was happening inside. He couldn't help but fantasize that three hours was enough for a young boy and girl to spark a romance.

"Manager Luo, come in." Upon hearing Ye Xiaofeng's call, Luo Shaotian quickly opened the door and went in.

In fact, Ye Xiaofeng could tell through the Eye of Gods and Demons that Luo Shaotian had been waiting at the door for his message.

"Manager Luo, effective immediately, Qingqing will be the deputy manager of the Great Soul Arena!" Ye Xiaofeng said gently as he looked at Qingqing.

"Young Master Ye, this is absolutely impossible. I don't understand anything about this," Qingqing quickly refused.

"Young Master Ye, I think this is inappropriate," Luo Shaotian said to Ye Xiaofeng.

"Luo Shaotian, what do you mean?" Ye Xiaofeng didn't expect that at this crucial moment, someone would dare to disobey him.

"Young Master Ye, you misunderstood. What I meant was that it would be more suitable for Miss Qingqing to be the general manager. I can be the deputy manager. I will wholeheartedly assist Miss Qingqing. No, it should be Manager Qingqing." During the three hours that Luo Shaotian was outside, he kept fantasizing about the passionate scene between Ye Xiaofeng and Qingqing.

"Manager Luo, you absolutely mustn't!" Qingqing was startled by the sudden turn of events.

"Luo Shaotian, are you serious?" Ye Xiaofeng asked coldly.

"Young Master Ye, my life is yours. I, Luo Shaotian, swear to serve Young Master Ye to the death." When Luo Shaotian saw Ye Xiaofeng's expression change, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look Ye Xiaofeng in the eye. The last time he saw those eyes that looked like the Grim Reaper had left him with a psychological trauma.

"Alright then, we'll do it your way. Of course, you won't be shortchanged; your salary will double." Ye Xiaofeng talked with Qingqing for three hours and learned a lot about her. Their relationship gradually became closer.

"Young Master Ye, you can't!" Qingqing hurriedly refused, but the more she refused, the more determined Ye Xiaofeng became.

"You don't need to do anything. Manager Luo will handle everything for you. Manager Luo, you agree, right?" Ye Xiaofeng turned to look at Luo Shaotian.

"Yes, yes, Manager Qingqing, you don't need to worry about anything. I'll handle everything for you. You can just be a figurehead. Spend more time with Young Master Ye. After all, you're the same age and have more in common." Luo Shaotian was an experienced person and couldn't be too direct. After Luo Shaotian said this, Qingqing stopped refusing.

"By the way, Manager Luo, my suite office can be used by Qingqing as her office," Ye Xiaofeng decided to go all the way and be a good Samaritan.

During Ye Xiaofeng's conversation with Qingqing, Qingqing gradually revealed her true feelings.

She grew up in Soto City and lost her parents at a young age. However, she was a strong girl who worked multiple jobs to survive. She would take any job that could earn her money. During this time, she worked as a model, a trainee in a dance troupe, and a waitress at the Soto Grand Arena. She also used her martial spirit to heal the injured in exchange for some compensation.

She haggled with the vegetable vendor for ages to buy a single vegetable, all to raise the money so she could buy a suitable spirit ring. Currently, she's level 23, with the spirit Azure Bird, a healing type with little offensive power.

When she broke through to the Great Soul Master realm, she came to the Imperial Capital Great Soul Arena and chose a job she was good at. However, her life remained simple, and she earned more money than she had when she broke through to the Soul Venerable realm.

All the happiness came too suddenly, as if it were a dream. Ye Xiaofeng also noticed Qingqing's unusual behavior.

"You're not dreaming, it's all real." Ye Xiaofeng walked up to Qingqing and brushed aside her bangs.

But no matter how Luo Shaotian looked at it, he felt that the two of them were just showing off their affection to him, and he really couldn't stand watching them anymore.

"Young Master Ye, I'll arrange to tidy up the room right away," Luo Shaotian said before Ye Xiaofeng could reply, quickly leaving the room and closing the door.

"Young Master Ye, why are you so good to me?" Qingqing still couldn't believe the sudden happiness she was experiencing.

"As long as you're happy," Ye Xiaofeng replied to Qingqing with a smile.

"And then?" Ye Xiaofeng's answer was not what Qingqing wanted.

"If you're happy, I'll be happy too," Ye Xiaofeng replied again, as if he were a block of wood.

"Oh, I see," Qingqing said, her face showing a hint of disappointment.

"Of course, I'm a little tempted by your appearance, hehe," Ye Xiaofeng smiled innocently at Qingqing.

"Ugh, I'm ignoring you!" Qingqing blushed and ran out of the office.

"Qingqing, wait for me!" Ye Xiaofeng followed closely behind.

Afterwards, Ye Xiaofeng accompanied Qingqing shopping, buying her all sorts of things. Fortunately, Ye Xiaofeng's soul tool storage ring could hold them all.

After shopping, it was still early, so Qingqing wanted to go back to her old place to pick up some things, and Ye Xiaofeng accompanied her.

When they arrived at Qingqing's place, the house was barely enough to keep out the wind and rain. Ye Xiaofeng looked at the house and then at the smiling girl in front of him. He felt a pang of sadness and an urge to protect her.

"Young Master Ye, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought you to a place like this. I'm so sorry you had to see this." Qingqing blushed with embarrassment.

"It's okay, it won't happen again, it will never happen again," Ye Xiaofeng suddenly said out of the blue.

"Young Master Ye, what are you saying?" Qingqing was confused by Ye Xiaofeng's inexplicable words.

"Pack your things, let's go." The longer Ye Xiaofeng sat there, the more upset he felt.

"Young Master Ye, let me pour you a cup of tea. Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon." For some reason, Qingqing suddenly became flustered and poured Ye Xiaofeng a cup of water, but the water was still cold.

"It's okay, I was just thirsty and I like to drink something cold." Seeing Qingqing's embarrassed and shy blushing face, Ye Xiaofeng picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp so as not to make Qingqing feel awkward any longer.
