Lin Dong remained motionless, as if he hadn't reacted.
The tip of the ice spear stopped two centimeters from Lin Dong's eyeball.
"Why don't you stab?" Lin Dong smiled indifferently, blowing out a smoke ring.
Xia Qingyou withdrew her ice spear, letting out a deep breath: "I can't kill you, there's no point in stabbing."
"You are quite clever." Lin Dong praised the big star's quick wit.
If she had really dared to stab, what awaited her would have been a frozen fish.
Xia Qingyou's expression was incredibly forlorn as she sat back on the bed, lost in thought.
"Can you tell me your strength? S-Grade? Or... SS-Grade?"
At that moment, she had felt a powerful confidence and a fleeting killing intent from this man. This was not posturing; it was the man possessing enough strength to easily instantly kill her.
Combined with the fact that Jiang Zhu, who had brutally beaten her, listened so obediently to this man, it wasn't hard to guess.
This man was excessively powerful!
"S?" Lin Dong raised an eyebrow: "It seems you have your own grading system. What grade are you?"
Xia Qingyou answered honestly: "I am A+ Grade."
Her tone carried a deep self-mockery.
She had endured so much hardship, finally breaking through her limits to achieve A+ Grade strength, but today she had suffered a major blow.
Being easily defeated by Jiang Zhu made her realize she had been short-sighted before.
"A+ Grade? What about that Xia Jian? How much is he?"
"Xia Jian? It seems he died by your hand. His grade was C."
"I see!" Lin Dong understood.
C-Grade equals 3, so B equals 4, A equals 5, and A+ Grade equals 6.
So that's how it is.
"As for me, you can understand it as above SSS," Lin Dong gave a vague answer.
Xia Qingyou's pupils constricted, her heart greatly shaken. Her first reaction was,
Impossible!
Even in a powerful organization like the Foundation, an enforcer in a city is only A+ Grade. How could there be such a powerful man in this world?
But then she thought that even Jiang Zhu could easily defeat her, so it was reasonable that this man would be even stronger.
Do I truly have no chance to control my own destiny after all?
Just as I gained power, I encountered an even greater power!
Thinking of this, Xia Qingyou suddenly looked up: "Did Jiang Zhu get her power from you?"
Lin Dong nodded: "Yes!"
Pressing her lips together, Xia Qingyou stood up and said, "Can you also share some power with me? I'll do anything, what Jiang Zhu can do, I can do too!"
"Oh? Are you sure?" Lin Dong slowly revealed a cold smile, stepping forward and grasping her fair, tender chin, greedily inhaling the fragrance from her body.
This wasn't perfume; it was the unique body scent of a woman.
"You wouldn't think that you only need to become my woman to gain power, would you?"
Suddenly being so close to a strange man, Xia Qingyou instinctively resisted and tried to break free, but she couldn't.
"Isn't that so? Isn't Jiang Zhu your woman?"
Lin Dong sneered and shook his head: "Of course not. She's just a maid. Do you know what a maid means? It's..."
The last sentence was whispered into her ear.
Xia Qingyou's pupils slightly contracted.
No?
Playing such perverted games?
The fiancée of the CEO of the dignified Xia family, her status is so low in your eyes?
In an instant, Xia Qingyou fell into an internal struggle.
She was tired of her father's coldness and harshness, tired of being mercilessly exploited by the Xia family, tired of being treated as a pawn and manipulated at will. She was tired, she was really tired!
She just wanted to control her own destiny.
Why was it so difficult?
Even if she submitted to the man in front of her, would her destiny truly change?
It would just be that the controller changed from her father to him.
Lin Dong was very patient, playing with Xia Qingyou's beautiful hair, letting her consider slowly.
This woman was very smart, and he believed she would make a wise choice.
After a long time, Xia Qingyou closed her eyes, which were red-rimmed, then opened them a moment later, filled with ruthless determination.
"I'm willing, but I have one condition!"
"Oh? You dare to bargain with me? But since I'm in a good mood today, tell me!"
"Give me power, and allow me... to destroy the Xia family!"
Lin Dong raised an eyebrow, "Big star, this move of yours really surprises me. Others gain power to protect their families, but you immediately want to destroy your own family?"
Good, good, bad enough!
I like it!
Xia Qingyou had resigned herself.
She understood that from the moment she was defeated by Jiang Zhu, she no longer had a choice; she could only submit to him.
This was her fate!
She knew Jiang Zhu. Jiang Zhu's relationship with her younger brother Xia Beichen was quite good, and all her attempts to stop it had failed.
But now she was devotedly following this man, which meant this man must have used unconventional means to force her to submit.
Since the outcome was submission anyway, why suffer an extra layer of torment?
Since she had made her choice, the Xia family could not remain.
After all, the dignified Xia family would never allow the Xia family's eldest daughter to be someone else's dog; their dignity wouldn't permit it. The final result would inevitably be the Xia family's destruction at this man's hands.
Anyway, she hated the Xia family to death, so it was better to destroy it herself and get some satisfaction.
Let that arrogant father see how pathetic he was!
"Congratulations on joining my maid ranks. Now, I will take a little trouble to bestow power upon you!" Lin Dong smirked.
Xia Qingyou was startled, then asked in surprise: "What method will you use?"
"The most primitive method!"
"......"
"Ah!!! This question is too hard, too hard!!!" Chong Di hugged his head and roared towards the sky, his eyes bloodshot, his expression incredibly twisted.
He had had enough!
He had really had enough!
He used to think he was a pervert, but now he thought these question setters were the real perverts!
For example, a math problem: 8 people sit at 1 square table, how many people sit at 3 square tables?
Answered 24.
Got scolded by the beautiful teacher.
For example, a Chinese language problem: Arrange the words 'white', 'small', 'I', 'am', 'eat' into a sentence.
Answered 'I am a little fool'.
Got mocked by the beautiful teacher.
For example...
There were too many, too many such situations.
Not a single one was a normal question; this wasn't a primary school question, it was a death trap!
Qin Shuyao tilted her head: "Hmm... it's not your fault. These questions are indeed a bit obscure and really test logical thinking. It's normal if you can't do them right away, don't be impatient.
You just finished two books, and now there are... uh... 19 more. Let's continue."
"I'll do your mom!!!" Chong Di completely broke down. Are you f*cking calling me stupid?
With a flick of his finger, the little ant instantly rushed towards Qin Shuyao's jade-like neck.
Damn woman, my little darling will bite through your neck, crawl into your head, and eat your brain.
That's for abusing children!
But the next second, he was dumbfounded yet again.
The little ant, shooting out like a bullet, hit the other party's neck, and then there was no 'then'.
The fair, tender neck was as hard as a copper wall and iron fortress; the little ant put all its strength into it but couldn't break through the defense.
"How is this possible?" Chong Di's small face instantly turned pale.
Slap!
Qin Shuyao felt an itch on her neck and slapped it, leaving a circle of blood on her palm.
"Hmm? Mosquitoes in such cold weather?"
