"Hmph, making excuses." On the phone, Ouyang Xiaoya's voice was frosty. Yesterday, she thoughtfully turned ham sausages into a meal, ready to ask Lin Hai if he was hungry, only to have him disappear without a word.

After waiting a whole day and night, the guy actually didn't come home, and his cell phone had been turned off all day yesterday, unreachable.

Finally getting through to him, he still tried to muddle his way through, saying he was busy with something.

That whole night, Ouyang Xiaoya couldn't sleep well, tossing and turning on her fragrant little bed, her mind involuntarily filled with thoughts of Lin Hai. Her woman's sensitive nature made her a little paranoid, saying that it would be better if Lin Hai didn't return, yet deep down, she was afraid Lin Hai might be out doing something dirty.

The thought of Lin Hai hugging those women reeking of erotic massage scents made her little heart full of jealousy.

"Wife, I really had something to deal with, cross my heart." Lin Hai explained with a guilty conscience, as last night he did not return but was actually at Beauty Su's place.

Beside him, Broken Water Sword was grinding his teeth in anger, wanting to step forward, but bound by the rules of the competition, he could only wait helplessly.

Watching Lin Hai going on and on explaining to the phone, completely ignoring him as an opponent, was nothing short of an immense humiliation for him.

"Hmph, very soon, I will make sure you'll have no burial, as a vent to my frustration."

"To be distracted by a phone call even during a duel, a person like this, even with strength, will never become an expert."

Broken Water Sword couldn't stop inwardly criticizing Lin Hai.

"Hmph, when you return, this CEO will conduct a thorough check. If I find anything, Beast Lin, you better brace yourself for a cruel cleanup, guaranteed to be a hellish, intensified upgraded mode," Ouyang Xiaoya's angry voice came through.

"Uh, wife, I'll strip down for you to check anything you want when I get back, I'm really in the middle of something right now," Lin Hai whispered.

"Get lost, who asked you to strip? Why didn't that lighter from Huadu burn you last time?"

"Damn, how vicious. Wife, if I'm broken, you won't be happy for the rest of your life."

"Beast Lin, remember to buy me cold medicine when you come back. I waited for you all night yesterday, you didn't return, and now I've caught a cold because of you!" Ouyang Xiaoya grew even more angry.

"Ah? Waited for me all night? CEO, did you last night... Oh no, did I miss a golden opportunity? I'll come back after I finish what I've got to do, and make up for what we didn't do yesterday? My little engine is very powerful," Lin Hai chuckled.

"Hmph hmph, don't think I don't know what you're up to. Beast Lin, even if I did agree, my physical condition wouldn't allow it, your CEO is on her period."

Lin Hai almost choked.

After a long while, he spoke faintly, "I see, a cold meeting the period, even a tiger would turn into a cat."

"Animal, trash, your brain is full of unhealthy things, you are the tiger, you are the cat," Ouyang Xiaoya got even madder, sitting on the villa's sofa, her jade feet kicking out in frustration.

"Beast, this is your last chance, where exactly are you? I'm going to catch you red-handed, hmph," Ouyang Xiaoya said vengefully.

"What? CEO, what are you saying? Why can't I suddenly hear you clearly?"

"Hello? The signal is bad, oh dear, this place is remote, CEO, the signal is really bad, I can't hear clearly at all what you're saying." Hearing Ouyang Xiaoya wanted to come, Lin Hai quickly pretended to have bad phone reception, hoping to bluff his way through.

Xiaoya is unaware of her true identity, and besides, she's a celebrity in Huadu. If she really showed up and got exposed under the public eye, my hidden identity could be easily revealed by those with ulterior motives. Moreover, there's Yu Halin upstairs scheming in his booth—things would definitely get messy at that point. I might even have to leave Huaxia for good. So, there's no way I can tell the CEO.

On the other end of the phone, hearing Lin Hai play dumb, Ouyang Xiaoya's face, which could be described as devastatingly beautiful, was filled with murderous intent. She clenched her silver teeth tightly and said word by word, "You beast, are you deaf? Do you want this CEO to buy you a megaphone?"

"What? Holy crap, CEO, your tastes are getting more extreme. You're still young, why would you need to buy that kind of... device? You should cherish your body. You can't sacrifice a lifetime of sexual bliss for a moment's excitement."

"You beast, what nonsense are you spouting? What lifetime of happiness? I was talking about a megapho..." Ouyang Xiaoya stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing something. Hearing the barely concealed sleaziness in Beast Lin's tone, she understood that this guy was never one to spit ivory out of his dog mouth.

"How dare you say I need a megap... You beast, I swear you're dead meat. Just wait until you get back to kneel on ants, sit on nails, and drink foot-washing water. If I don't make your life hell, then I'm not Huadu's number one ice queen CEO!" Ouyang Xiaoya was so enraged she was nearly exploding, panting rapidly with her neck stretched out.

"Beep beep beep beep—"

Her reply was the busy tone of the call. The CEO, Beauty Su, was so angry she almost ate her phone.

After hanging up, Lin Hai realized that everyone around him was just standing there dumbfounded, looking at him with strange, complex expressions.

Lin Hai smirked to himself, "These clowns only know their Martial Arts, training all day, without a hint of emotional intelligence. No wonder they can't become Experts."

"Are you done?" Broken Water Sword asked.

"Hey, watch your language. What do you mean, 'am I done'? I was just making a phone call," Lin Hai said.

Broken Water Sword's face almost turned black with indignation, his teeth clenched in fury, "Then let's begin. My sword is already starving for blood and eager to drink."

"My Dabang is also starving and eager. Broken Water Sword, you know what I mean."

Lin Hai winked, realizing that the sudden phone call had disrupted Broken Water Sword's previously concentrated battle intent and momentum, and now, with a few more provocative words, he guessed his opponent wouldn't be able to muster up the will to kill.

"You're asking for it."

Enraged, Broken Water Sword charged at Lin Hai swiftly, with sword lights crazily flashing, making whistling sounds as they cut through the air.

"Thwack, thwack—"

The ground was left with thumb-sized sword marks where the sword's power tore through.

Lin Hai's body surged with Gang Qi, his movement technique swift as lightning, charging forth with the force of thunder, fighting openly and powerfully, his Fist Technique and Palm Skill combined in a ferocious counterattack. His aura was entirely that of a tough guy, starkly different from the sleazy tone he had on the phone.

With a loud thud, their knees collided, making a painfully screeching sound. The stone slabs of the floor in the arena started to break apart, with broken pieces flying about, as sword lights turned the debris to dust.

"Hmph, those pharmaceutically enhanced Potion Experts have such poor stamina; is your Gang Qi running out?"

Lin Hai's voice was icy, his eyes lucid. Without hesitation, he grabbed that metal-slicing Broken Water Sword with both hands, Gang Qi rushing fiercely into his arms as he exerted force, snapping it with a fierce twist.

"Crack—"

The Broken Water Sword broke into three pieces.

At the same time, he kicked out, sending Liu Yinyang flying back, vomiting blood.
