C7 First Meeting with Lee Yanran
"The astonishment points keep racking up..."
After a moment, three muffled thuds emanated from Bai Piao's body.
Martial Master Five Star!
Zhang Koulai coughed up a mouthful of blood, his once dashing and suave demeanor now in shambles.
"Impossible, how could this nobody..."
He murmured in disbelief, his face a picture of shock.
"In this world, nothing is impossible. Better hurry and tend to your wounds!"
"I can hardly stand to look at you in this sorry state."
Bai Piao dusted off his hands as if he were flicking away dirt.
A group of attendants scrambled to lift Zhang Koulai and made a hasty retreat.
The Third Young Master of the Zhang family had been reduced to spitting blood by Bai Piao!
"Doggie, let's move on and keep exploring."
Bai Piao stood tall, the epitome of elegance. With a folding fan in hand, he'd be the picture of perfection.
Passing by a fan shop, he purchased a folding fan and continued his leisurely stroll.
"Astonishment points +20..."
The tally kept climbing. It looked like Zhang Koulai had been whisked away to the Zhang household.
With over 100 astonishment points to his name, Bai Piao intended to return and examine them at his leisure.
Come lunchtime, Bai Piao chose a particularly opulent restaurant and strode in confidently.
"Young Master Bai, we welcome you upstairs."
The proprietor greeted Bai Piao personally, beaming with hospitality.
"Serve me all your specialties."
Embracing his rich second-generation status, Bai Piao was eager to sample the restaurant's finest.
The street food had been delectable, but the fare at this grand establishment promised to be a cut above.
"Right away!"
The manager's smile masked his inner curses towards Bai Piao.
Bai Piao was notorious for never settling his tab.
Yet the manager dared not refuse Bai Piao's command and reluctantly instructed the staff to prepare the feast.
A server attended to Bai Piao, pouring him a cup of tea.
"Not bad at all."
The tea appeared unremarkable, yet its flavor was exceptional.
Bai Piao drained his cup in one gulp, and the server promptly refilled it.
Suddenly, a disturbance arose from below.
"Doggie, can you check out what's going on downstairs?" Bai Piao requested.
Doggie dashed out for a quick peek and hurried back.
"Young Master, Miss Lee has arrived."
His words had barely settled when a stunning figure graced the staircase landing.
With her elegant curves and radiant face, her beauty was so breathtaking it nearly swept Bai Piao away.
Was this the Miss Lee?
How could anyone be so enchanting?
Catching her fleeting glance, Bai Piao swiftly regained his poise, though his heart continued to race.
Could this be love at first sight?
Lee Yanran offered Bai Piao a mere cursory look before averting her eyes, leaving him feeling a void.
She might not approach him for a chat, but did she have to be so aloof?
Lee Yanran selected a table one removed from Bai Piao's.
Her voice, soft as she ordered, sent Bai Piao's heart adrift.
With her meal chosen, Lee Yanran engaged in conversation with a companion, their laughter as melodious as their talk.
Bai Piao noticed her friend too; she was only a shade less stunning than Lee Yanran, yet still a great beauty.
"Doggie, what's Miss Lee's full name?"
"Master, she's called Lee Yanran."
"And the lady with her is her close friend, Wang Shiqi."
Bai Piao shot Doggie an approving glance.
