Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Xiao Ya invited Li Xiaoyao to sit by the poolside on a sun lounger and said, "Mr. Li, please rest here for a while, I am going to change my clothes."

"Hmm."

Li Xiaoyao lay on the chair, enjoying the comfort of the sun shining on him, and slightly squinted his eyes.

Despite the passing by of swimsuit-clad women with striking figures, Li Xiaoyao paid them no attention.

Xiao Dingguo, dressed in beach shorts and a floral shirt, walked over and sat down beside Li Xiaoyao. He said, "Mr. Li, tonight, let's dine outside with fine wine and barbecue, what do you think?"

Li Xiaoyao had no particular opinion on where to eat or what to eat.

His purpose for being here was not food and drink but rather medicinal materials.

As long as he got the medicinal materials, even just drinking water would not matter.

At that moment, Ji Yutao lay down on the other side of Li Xiaoyao and struck up a conversation as if they were old friends, asking, "I've never had the chance to ask, Mr. Li, where are you from?"

As soon as this question was raised, Xiao Dingguo and Cheng Dongliang, who was walking towards them, both looked over.

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes and reached for the pendant around his neck, a hint of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

It was a tiger tooth pendant that had been with him for as long as he could remember.

The old guy who had picked up Li Xiaoyao said that when he found him, the pendant and a piece of paper were on his neck, and the paper only had the character "Li" written on it. So, the old man guessed that Li Xiaoyao's family name was likely Li.

Thus, Li Xiaoyao was actually an orphan, not even knowing whether his parents were still alive.

Li Xiaoyao had originally thought that after so many years, when facing this matter again, he would be very calm.

But he suddenly found that, faced with this matter, he could not maintain an indifferent state of mind.

Why did his parents abandon him?

And to do so in a foreign land, were they really that heartless?

Li Xiaoyao had considered many reasons and eventually felt that his parents might have given birth to him while traveling in Yun Country but didn't want to keep him, so they abandoned him.

Li Xiaoyao was silent for a long time and sighed deeply.

Seeing that his mood was not right, Ji Yutao secretly wondered if he had asked something he shouldn't have.

Xiao Dingguo said to a lady, "Bring over some barbecue and wine."

The lady, swinging her ample hips, walked over to the grill and came back carrying a plate of meat and a bottle of wine.

The lady knelt halfway in front of Li Xiaoyao, handing out wine and meat to everyone, but they didn't pay much attention to her, thwarting her attempt to charm them.

The so-called banquet was actually a barbecue pool party.

Whether it was Xiao Dingguo or Ji Yutao, both were high-ranking authorities, and at heart, they shared a strong sense of male dominance. They were quite interested in this gathering that was exclusively females, with themselves as the only exceptions.

After a few drinks, everyone got merry.

It was normal for Xiao Dingguo and Ji Yutao, being ordinary people, to be affected by alcohol.

They hugged from the left and held from the right, having the time of their lives.

Cheng Dongliang and Li Xiaoyao leaned back on their chairs, discussing matters related to Cultivators.

"Mr. Li, when I was purchasing medicinal materials this time, I heard that the Ghost Market is about to start."

"The Ghost Market? What's that?"

Cheng Dongliang explained, "The so-called Ghost Market is a term used within our Cultivation community. It's a market that only Cultivators and Martial Artists are qualified to attend. There, one can buy and sell all sorts of things, as long as you have something that the other party is interested in."

"You can think of the Ghost Market as a place where Cultivators exchange items. However, in the market, many rules are nullified, and everything depends on one's strength. Therefore, every time the Ghost Market opens, quite a number of Martial Artists and Cultivators perish within it."

Li Xiaoyao nodded and asked, "When is the Ghost Market set to open?"

Cheng Dongliang said, "It should be soon, during this period of time."

Li Xiaoyao then asked, "What are the requirements to participate in the Ghost Market?"

Cheng Dongliang said, "Indeed, there are requirements, but they're not worth mentioning for you. When the Ghost Market opens, I'll notify you. You can just come with me."

"Okay."

The Ghost Market was definitely a rare opportunity. Only Martial Artists and Cultivators could enter it, which would be an opportunity for Li Xiaoyao to interact with many insiders.

Li Xiaoyao wasn't curious about Cultivators; he only cared if he could find the things he needed at the Ghost Market.

For example, medicinal herbs or some Magic Artifacts.

"Eh..."

Suddenly, Cheng Dongliang sighed.

Li Xiaoyao asked, "Why do you sigh, Old Cheng?"

Cheng Dongliang shook his head with a bitter smile, then turned to Li Xiaoyao and said, "Mr. Li, there's something I'm puzzled about, and I hope you can help me clarify it."

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Cheng Dongliang said, "Ever since you detoxified me that day, my daughter Yiyi has been acting strangely, and she would not tell me what's on her mind. The next day, she left."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

He, of course, knew why Cheng Yiyi had changed so much—it was all his doing.

But Li Xiaoyao couldn't tell him that.

"Perhaps she has some personal issues," Li Xiaoyao said without giving anything away.

Cheng Dongliang nodded emphatically, believing this was true, "You're right, Mr. Li. That's what I thought as well."

"Old Cheng, you can just call me Xiaoyao. You're older than I am; there's no need for formalities," Li Xiaoyao suggested.

Cheng Dongliang was delighted inside, but kept his composure, "Is that okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. We can be considered friends despite the age difference. Always using formal titles is too estranging." The so-called friendship despite the age gap was all about screwing his daughter and then becoming brothers with him.

"What are Mr. Li and Old Cheng discussing? May the young lady have the pleasure of joining?" Xiao Ya's voice rang out.

The two men looked over to see Xiao Ya dressed in a black bikini, her explosive figure on full display, compelling a second look.

Cheng Dongliang's heart clenched and he subconsciously searched for Xiao Dingguo, seeing him engrossed in play with a girl, he wondered if the old man also intended to offer his daughter as he did?

Although this tactic was contemptible, he had to admit, it was effective!

With a twist of her waist, Xiao Ya approached Li Xiaoyao, her fair, taut legs in full stride. She turned slightly, bent down, and sat next to Li Xiaoyao, the scent of a young girl stirring his senses.

Li Xiaoyao was no desireless Monk; he too would take an extra look at a beautiful woman, especially one as charming as Xiao Ya.

If it was just about appearance, Xiao Ya might not be the most beautiful; if it was about figure, she definitely wasn't the most voluptuous.

But it was Xiao Ya's background, her somewhat dominant personality, and the intelligent aura she emanated that stimulated men, giving them an impulse to conquer her.

Both may be women, but there's a vast difference between an ordinary white-collar worker and a multi-national corporation's female CEO.

Given the choice, the sense of achievement from conquering the latter is far more intense than from the former.

Now, it was exactly this feeling Xiao Ya gave Li Xiaoyao, a feeling he had only experienced with Lan Cai.

If he could dominate such a woman, who in every aspect could be considered an exceptional beauty, the satisfaction and sense of achievement would be something ordinary women could never give.
