Chapter 4677
“Don’t worry. Even if I leave, I’ll ask General Xing to take care of you and your sister,” Kai said hurriedly. “With General Xing’s protection, what are you afraid of?”
“That’s different,” Xiong Ying replied. “If Mr. Chen accepts me as his woman, General Xing will surely treat us with respect. But if I’m just your friend, the treatment will not be the same.”
She paused, looking up with tears in her eyes. “And… I really like you. I just want to be yours…”
Her pleading gaze, filled with desperation, made Kai hesitate. Looking at her tear-streaked, delicate face, combined with her beauty, Kai felt his self-control slipping.
“In that case, I won’t hold back,” he said softly.
Lifting Xiong Ying into his arms, Kai carried her to the bed and laid her down.
A night of passion followed, like peach blossoms in spring…
Meanwhile, outside Kai’s room, the youngest sister was quietly crying.
She didn’t harbor romantic feelings for Kai, but she was deeply grateful to him. Yet, as a woman, the sting of rejection was hard to bear.
She had spent a whole night with Kai, but he hadn’t touched her. And now, with Xiong Ying, he acted like a man starved.
The youngest sister admitted that she wasn’t as beautiful as Xiong Ying, but Kai’s favoritism still left her heart aching.
What would happen to her when Kai left? Her brother was gone, leaving her all alone in the world. How would she survive?
Wiping away her tears, she steeled herself, her eyes filled with determination.
“No matter where you go, whether you want me or not, I will follow you,” she vowed silently.
Yaomei had made up her mind—no matter where Kai went, she would follow him.
After all, she was alone in the world, with nothing left to lose and nothing to fear.
Having resolved this, Yaomei turned and returned to her room.
When Kai opened the door later, Yaomei was no longer in the courtyard. He had no idea she had spent the entire night listening outside.
The next day, Kai met up with Xing Daorong, and together they headed to the prison. With Xing Daorong leading the way, they entered the prison without issue.
Standing beneath the ancient tree, Kai placed his hands on its trunk, closed his eyes, and allowed his consciousness to enter the ancient tree space.
This time, his conversation with the city lord went remarkably well. Whether the city lord had secretly investigated Kai or not, his attitude was polite and cooperative.
The city lord agreed to transfer his authority to Xing Daorong, placing the entire Beast City under his control, with one condition: the ancient tree must remain undisturbed.
Kai readily agreed to the request. With Xing Daorong as city lord, the entire Beast City would essentially fall under Kai’s influence.
After leaving the ancient tree space, Kai relayed the city lord’s decision to Xing Daorong, who was so overjoyed he could barely contain his laughter.
That same day, an official city lord’s decree spread throughout Beast City.
For the first time in years, the city lord, who had long been absent, issued an order transferring his position to Xing Daorong. When Yan Shuangying saw the decree, he was equally shocked but didn’t dare to question it. After all, it was the city lord’s will.
With everything settled, Kai prepared to leave Beast City. Before departing, Xing Daorong handed him a magical artifact resembling a compass. This item would allow Kai to enter and leave Beast City freely. It was the same artifact the old man Zang had used to bring him in initially.
After bidding farewell to Xing Daorong, Kai said his goodbyes to Xiong Kuo and his sister. However, when he tried to find Yaomei, she was nowhere to be seen.
Though puzzled, Kai didn’t dwell on it. He left the Xing Mansion and exited Beast City. But shortly after leaving, he sensed someone following him.
Frowning, Kai stopped in his tracks. He couldn’t imagine who would dare trail him at this moment.
“Who’s there? Show yourself!” Kai demanded coldly, his voice sharp and commanding.
