Chapter 130

Yue Linglong frowned, her beautiful eyes sweeping toward Blue Phoenix. Though it was the first time the two women had met, the air was thick with palpable tension.

"Nothing else. I came here today to find my man!"

Blue Phoenix’s gaze did not linger on Yue Linglong for long; instead, she turned her focus to Chu Tianhe.

This single sentence struck a nerve with Yue Linglong. Everyone in the Pantheon knew that Yue Linglong had feelings for Chu Tianhe, though she had never breached that final barrier due to their professional standing. Now, with Blue Phoenix boldly stepping up to claim him as her man right to her face, how could Yue Linglong possibly endure it?

"Where did this wild woman come from? What are you spouting?"

Murderous intent radiated from Yue Linglong’s body, subtle yet undeniable. Were it not for the need to maintain their cover in front of Chu Tianhe, she would have struck already. Someone like Blue Phoenix wouldn't have lasted three seconds in her hands.

"Spouting nonsense?"

Blue Phoenix was no pushover. Unfazed by the icy killing intent, she stepped forward, positioning herself directly in front of Chu Tianhe. She stood so close that her chest was nearly pressed against him.

"Chu Tianhe, don't you dare tell me you don't remember what happened at the bar yesterday!"

Blue Phoenix was a woman of unwavering resolve; when she set her sights on a man, she was relentless. Ignoring the murderous glare from Yue Linglong, she locked her gaze onto Chu Tianhe’s, her eyes filled with aggressive intent.

"Brother Tian, you... you went to a bar yesterday?"

Hearing this, Yue Linglong’s eyes darted toward Chu Tianhe, her heart skipping a beat. Everyone knew that bars were breeding grounds for trouble, and Chu Tianhe had a penchant for drinking that had led to plenty of complications in the past. She feared this time was no exception—that he had somehow ended up with a wife.

"I did."

Facing the aggressive Blue Phoenix, Chu Tianhe remained as calm as ever. He spoke indifferently, "I was only there for a drink. We had no significant interaction. Is it that I didn't pay enough for the drinks?"

Seeing Chu Tianhe’s dismissive attitude, a flash of annoyance crossed Blue Phoenix’s pretty face. "We may not have had much interaction, but you know exactly what you did when you left, don't you?"

"I just taught a few pieces of trash a lesson. How does that concern you?"

Chu Tianhe waved a hand dismissively and turned to sit on the sofa in the acupuncture clinic. Seeing this, the corners of Blue Phoenix’s lips curled upward. Ignoring Yue Linglong entirely, she took two quick steps, spun gracefully, and sat right on Chu Tianhe’s lap. She then draped her arms around his neck, a move so bewitching and provocative that the air turned heavy with ambiguity.

"What do you think you’re doing!"

Yue Linglong shouted instinctively, truly shocked by Blue Phoenix’s audacity.

At that moment, she could barely keep her hand off the dagger at her waist. Her fury surged; she could think of ten thousand ways to kill Blue Phoenix, and not a single one was the same.

"What am I doing? I'm just holding my own man. Why such a big reaction?"

Blue Phoenix still didn't take Yue Linglong seriously. As a woman, especially one of her temperament, she could tell at a glance that there was no intimate relationship between the two.

Disregarding the lethal glare, she continued to provoke her. "This is a private matter between him and me. It has nothing to do with you. What happens next might not be suitable for children, so you’d best excuse yourself."
