Chapter 813 Thousand-Faced Enchantress
After lunch, Xi Youmi took Qin Haodong to Lincoln Centre for the final rehearsal. To his surprise, the female model partnering up with him was the girl with long legs.
“Qin, glad to meet you again, and I’m even gladder to be your partner.”
The girl with long legs came over and gave Qin Haodong a big hug. Although Qin Haodong didn’t reach out to touch, he still sensed that her b.r.e.a.s.t.s were plump and springy.
This made him secretly exclaim. “How come these foreign girls are so gorgeous? This one is over 1.8 meters tall, and her bosoms are magnificent.”
“Qin, my name is Katia. Let’s get started.”
Then, the two of them started to rehea.r.s.e. After a brief run-in time, they quickly became well-coordinated.
Xi Youmi was very satisfied with the two’s performance. As the compet.i.tion drew near, there were many things she had to attend to. Thus, she left Qin Haodong there to keep practicing and went off to take care of other issues.
During the break, she led Qin Haodong to a corner backstage and said, “Qin, you are the most brilliant man I’ve ever seen. You have excellent medical skills, remarkable martial practice, as well as so much money. Now, you’ve even nailed the runway. You are just superb.”
Qin Haodong smiled and said, “I think so too.”
“Let me be your girlfriend, won’t you? I really like you very much. In your Huaxia language, it’s love at first sight. I have fallen in love with you since we met yesterday. I can’t help it.”
Beaming, Qin Haodong said, “Miss Katia, thank you for liking me, but I already have many girlfriends.”
“I don’t mind. Many successful people in our M Country have many girlfriends. I don’t care.”
After saying that, the girl with long legs directly wrapped her arms around Qin Haodong and boldly kissed him.
Her height was 1.8 meters, so she was almost as tall as Qin Haodong. Adding that she was wearing a pair of 10-centimeter-high heels, she seemed to be more domineering while performing this kiss.
The kiss was intense and pa.s.sionate. However, abruptly, Katia’s expression changed. She now stared at Qin Haodong in horror.
Qin Haodong looked at her with a smile and said, “How is it? Are you surprised? I really don’t understand why you killers are so stupid. You already saw my martial practice yesterday. Then how dare you come to a.s.sa.s.sinate me?
“To quote a phrase of our Huaxia, what you’re doing is putting your life on the line for money. You think you can get me with your little tricks?”
As he spoke, he yanked out the hand that Katia had placed on his back, which was holding a s.h.i.+ny scalpel.
A tinge of panic streaked across Katia’s eyes. This kind of knife was made of special steel and was extremely sharp. Normally, it could cut into a person’s body without any difficulty.
Her acting had been perfect before. She prepared to use this knife to pierce Qin Haodong’s back, giving him the deadly blow. Sadly, despite all her scheming and calculating, she did not expect that the scalpel could not penetrate Qin Haodong’s protective Genuine Qi.
Katia pleaded, “Qin, please let me off this time. There won’t be a next time.”
“There’s an old saying in Huaxia. The more beautiful a woman is, the more untrustworthy her words are. Do you think I can trust you?” Qin Haodong reached out and tapped her cheeks. “Tell me, are you the Thousand-Faced Enchantress?”
She put on a pitiful look and said, “No, I’m really not. I’m just an ordinary killer. I was tempted by the bounty of 100 million dollars.
“You can punish me however you want. I can even be your slave. But please don’t kill me, okay?”
“You’re a pretty woman, yet you have to be evil. You have a promising career as a model, and you can already make enough money. Why do you have to be a killer?” Qin Haodong looked straight into Katia’s eyes and said, “I was wondering if you were a professional killer doing modeling as a part-time job or the reverse.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. Now you’ve intended to kill someone, you should be prepared to be killed.”
With that, he raised his hand and tapped Katia’s chest. The Green Wood Genuine Qi instantly shattered her coronary artery. Her long legs gave way and she fell to the ground with a thud.
In order not to let this affect Xi Youmi’s compet.i.tion, Qin Haodong knew he had to do a full set of acting. He picked Katia up and hurried into the infirmary nearby.
“Doctor, take a look at her. She suddenly fell.”
The doctor quickly carried Katia into the ambulance. After taking all the emergency measures, the doctor confirmed that Katia had died despite the rescue efforts. She was overly nervous before the compet.i.tion, which eventually gave her a heart attack that caused her death.
Katia’s death made the atmosphere even more grave before the compet.i.tion. But shortly after that, Xi Youmi sent another model to be Qin Haodong’s partner.
At nine o’clock in the evening, the first match of the Fas.h.i.+on Week officially began. Qin Haodong walked to the runway in the men’s outfit carefully designed by Xi Youmi.
After entering the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, Qin Haodong had already mastered the way of nature and integrated himself into nature. His temperament was completely in line with this men’s outfit.
In addition, he was very good-looking. As he walked on the runway, the rich girls and n.o.ble ladies below the stage all screamed with excitement and started to inquire about him.
Although this was the first time he had ever been on the runway, his performance was undoubtedly a success. After he stepped down from the stage, Xi Youmi dashed over happily, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him hard on the cheek.
“Haodong, your performance was amazing. I love you so, so much.”
She took Qin Haodong’s hand and led him to his private locker room on the side. “To celebrate our success, let’s make a toast.”
Xi Youmi picked up the bottle of red wine she had prepared for this moment and poured a gla.s.s for Qin Haodong and another for herself.
“Darling, come on, let’s drink a toast!”
Then she raised her gla.s.s, clinked gla.s.ses with Qin Haodong, and drained her wine.
Qin Haodong glanced at her and drank up the wine in his gla.s.s as well.
Xi Youmi said, “How is this wine? Isn’t it good?”
“It’s really good. The wine mixed with the corroding powder does have a special flavor.” Qin Haodong stared at Xi Youmi and said with a playful expression, “If you added a little more deadly poison, it would taste even better.”
To Xi Youmi’s dismay, Qin Haodong had noticed the poison in the wine. Her expression changed drastically. A s.h.i.+ny dagger darted out from her right hand and rapidly stabbed at Qin Haodong’s throat.
Although this woman had never cultivated internal strength, her movements had already been so swift as to rival those Inner Strength Masters. If Qin Haodong were an ordinary person, he would definitely be killed by her first strike.
But this kind of cultivation was too ridiculous in front of a Saint. Stretching out two fingers, Qin Haodong tightly clamped the dagger in Xi Youmi’s hand.
Xi Youmi’s face paled a little. She immediately let go of the dagger. Then, as if doing a magic show, two short knives appeared in her hands. Without hesitation, she thrust the knives at Qin Haodong’s lower abdomen.
“You just wouldn’t accept your defeat until you see your own doom.”
Qin Haodong lifted his leg. Before the two knives could reach his belly, his foot had already kicked Xi Youmi in the chest.
Like a cannonball being fired, Xi Youmi was sent flying before she hit the wall behind with a loud bang and fell hard on the ground. The two short knives were also thrown into the air.
She spat a mouthful of blood. Knowing that things were not going well. she bounced up from the ground and raced toward the door. Before she could run any farther, a big hand grabbed her neck and pinned her against the wall behind her.
“You’re Thousand-Faced Enchantress, aren’t you?”
While speaking, Qin Haodong withdrew his hand from the woman’s neck. Then, he raised his hand and tapped the Tanzhong acupoint in her chest.
Thousand-Faced Enchantress cried in horror, “How did you find out?”
She had been a killer for most of her lifetime and had never suffered a setback. This time, she impersonated Xi Youmi to carry out the mission. She thought that her pretense was flawless. Thus, she was dying to know how the man in front of her saw through her.
Qin Haodong looked at her and said with a smile, “You have three flaws. First, although you look no different from the real Xi Youmi, you don’t exude the innate charm she has. Others may be fooled by you, but I can see through you at a glance.
“Second, you’ve mistaken my relations.h.i.+p with her. Although we live together, we are just friends. She’s never called me darling. This is a fatal mistake for a killer.”
Speaking of this, he cast a quick look at Thousand-Faced Enchantress’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s and remarked, “Although your fake b.o.o.bs are about the same size as Xi Youmi’s, you’ve stuffed too many unnatural materials there so it doesn’t look springy at all.
“If you have a chance to be a killer in the future, remember not to impersonate a woman with bigger b.r.e.a.s.t.s than yours. But it no longer matters. Because you will never have that chance again.”
Qin Haodong reached out. As his fingers slid across Thousand-Faced Enchantress’s face, a human skin mask was taken off, revealing a hideous face.
Beneath the mask, Thousand-Faced Enchantress’s real face was covered with freckles and pockmarks. What was more, there was a long scar stretching across her left face, which looked really disgusting.
“I was worried that I wouldn’t have the heart to kill this beautiful woman. Looks like my worry is totally unnecessary.”
After saying that, Qin Haodong directly smashed her heart with a punch. He dragged her body to the bathroom of the dressing room, took out the Body Melting Powder, and corroded her body away. After that, he washed the floor and wiped out all the traces of her existence.
After doing all this, he returned to the locker room, opened the wardrobe, and rescued Xi Youmi from the inside.
At this time, Xi Youmi had been drugged and was in a deep coma. Qin Haodong tapped her body a few times and used Green Wood Genuine Qi to expel the drug.
Xi Youmi slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Qin Haodong by her side, she asked with a confused look, “What happened? Why did I suddenly fall asleep? Is the compet.i.tion over? How was your performance?”
Qin Haodong said, “A killer had come by. She drugged you and pretended to be you to a.s.sa.s.sinate me.”
“What? Another killer?” Xi Youmi looked at Qin Haodong with unease in her eyes and said, “What did the killer do? Are you all right?”
Qin Haodong helped her straighten her messy clothes and rea.s.sured her, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Xi Youmi exhaled in relief and said, “What about the killer? Should we call the police?”
“No need. The killer has run away. The police can’t help us with this. We can only handle this by ourselves.”
Xi Youmi nodded understandingly. She held his hand and said, “I don’t know much about all the fight going on. All I care about is that you’re safe.”
“Don’t worry. These killers can’t do anything to me.”
As soon as Qin Haodong finished speaking, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
“You rest. I’ll go take this call.”
He then grabbed his phone and went out. Behind him, a complicated look flashed through Xi Youmi’s eyes.
Qin Haodong pressed the answer b.u.t.ton. Ma Wenzhuo’s excited voice came from the other end of the line; “Haodong, I’ve arrived in N City. As you’ve requested, I’ve brought 30 fellows of the Daddy Security Company, all of whom are above the seventh level of the Supreme Power Realm.”
“Nice. You should take a rest today. Tomorrow, I’ll give you orders.”
After encountering the killers in the bar yesterday, Qin Haodong came up with a strategy. Since those men in Angel Pharmaceutical planned to hide behind the scene, he would need to force them to show up. Therefore, he made a called and summoned Ma Wenzhuo and 30 masters above the seventh level of the Supreme Power Realm here from Huaxia.
After the first round of the Fas.h.i.+on Week ended, Qin Haodong returned to the apartment with Xi Youmi.
The next day, Xi Youmi went to Lincoln Centre again to partic.i.p.ate in the rest of the compet.i.tion. Qin Haodong alone went to the building of the Angel Pharmaceutical.
This building was Angel Pharmaceutical’s headquarters known to the public, and all their businesses were conducted here. Since the hidden force refused to show up, Qin Haodong decided to start from here and make the people behind the scene show their faces.
