Tonight, not only did I have an exhilarating battle with Lin Jingying and claim this celebrity’s first time, but I also obtained the Power of the Solar Terms associated with her body—Xiaoman.

This is just so satisfying!

With this, out of the twenty-four types of Power of the Solar Terms, Li Qianfan is now only missing Dongzhi, Autumn Equinox, Li Qiu, Start of Winter, Spring Equinox, Jingzhe, and Major Snow.

And the Power of Major Snow is within Ah Hua. Sooner or later, Ah Hua is going to be Li Qianfan’s woman.

Which means Li Qianfan is truly only missing six!

He’s taken another step closer to gathering all the Power of the Solar Terms, and Li Qianfan’s grin couldn’t be wider.

Before he realized it, a few days had passed, and finally, the day of the superstar Lin Jingying’s concert arrived.

It was now dusk, but Dadong City’s Central Grand Theater plaza was already packed with people.

When the theater doors opened, the fans who had been waiting for ages flooded in like a tidal wave, instantly throwing the on-site order into chaotic disarray.

Second floor of the theater hall, at the VIP seating section.

Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan were already seated here, quietly waiting for the concert to begin.

Looking at the bedlam unfolding on the first floor of the hall, Liu Ruyan smiled and said, “Lin Jingying truly is wildly popular, isn’t she?”

“Naturally, she’s a superstar after all,” Li Qianfan replied with a chuckle.

About ten minutes later, the concert finally officially began.

Explosive music blared, fireworks erupted around the stage, resembling fiery orange fountains.

Lin Jingying hadn’t even appeared yet, but her singing already filled the venue.

Talk about hearing her voice before seeing her!

Not long after, Lin Jingying emerged from backstage along with a dozen backup dancers. The audience erupted with thunderous applause, screams, and shouts ringing out one after another!

“Lin Jingying! Lin Jingying! Lin Jingying!”

“I will always love you, always support you!”

“Lin Jingying, you’re my goddess!”

Facing the crowd’s cheers and cries, Lin Jingying smiled radiantly on stage, singing while waving to greet the audience below.

“No wonder so many people dream of becoming a celebrity. This kind of adoration really must feel incredible,” Liu Ruyan remarked.

“It really is,” Li Qianfan nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, a bald, muscular man in a suit strode up before Li Qianfan.

“You’re Li Xiang? Our boss wants to see you.”

The bald man stared at Li Qianfan expressionlessly as he spoke.

“Who’s your boss? If he wants to see me, why doesn’t he come himself?” Li Qianfan responded bluntly.

“Our boss is Dahai City’s richest man, Zhao Changsheng,” the bald man replied.

Li Qianfan’s eyes narrowed immediately.

Liu Ruyan’s brows furrowed deeply as well.

“Your boss is pretty bold, daring to step into Dadong City. It seems he’s tired of living.” Li Qianfan scoffed.

Then, Li Qianfan stood and said to Liu Ruyan, “Ruyan, wait for me here. I’ll be back soon.”

“Let me go with you,” Liu Ruyan insisted.

“Don’t worry, we’re just talking about Dahai City’s richest man. He’s nothing special to me. You don’t need to worry about me.”

With that, Li Qianfan followed the bald man from VIP Section A to Section B.

There, a towering and overweight middle-aged man entered Li Qianfan’s line of sight.

“You’re Zhao Changsheng?”

Li Qianfan took a seat next to Zhao Changsheng without hesitation.

“You’re Li Xiang?” Zhao Changsheng asked.

“I’m the one asking questions here,” Li Qianfan retorted.

With a sneer, Zhao Changsheng replied, “Young man, you’ve got quite the temper. But mind your manners when talking to me.”

“Manners? I’ll skip them. What are you gonna do about it?” Li Qianfan provoked.

Anger flared on Zhao Changsheng’s face, but he didn’t pursue the matter further and instead asked, “Lin Jingying hired you as a bodyguard. How much did she pay you?”

“Why are you asking that?” Li Qianfan countered.

“No matter how much she’s paying, I’ll double it!” Zhao Changsheng declared confidently.

“Sorry, I’m not interested in money. I’m protecting Lin Jingying not for money,” Li Qianfan said with a grin.

“Then what for?” Zhao Changsheng pressed.

“For her body, obviously. To be frank, she’s already given her virginity to me. She’s now my woman,” Li Qianfan stated.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Changsheng’s fury exploded, veins bulging on his forehead.

Lin Jingying, the celebrity he had his eyes on, had her first time taken by Li Qianfan and was now his woman. How could he tolerate this?

“You bastard, you’re asking to die!” Zhao Changsheng snarled through gritted teeth.

“The one asking to die isn’t me—it’s you! If you’d stayed put in Dahai City, I wouldn’t have bothered coming after you. But to think you’d dare come to Dadong City—you must really be tired of living!”

With a cold chuckle, Li Qianfan continued, “Zhao Changsheng, do you dare to gamble with me?”

“What kind of gamble?” Zhao Changsheng demanded.

“Let’s bet on who survives until midnight tonight! If you’re alive after twelve, I’ll hand over Lin Jingying to you. But if I make it past twelve, then Lin Jingying stays mine!”

Cold light flashed in Zhao Changsheng’s eyes, seething hatred etched across his face.

“Fine! I accept your gamble! Rest assured, once the concert is over, I’ll ensure you disappear from this world—forever!” Zhao Changsheng roared.

“I’ll be waiting.”

With that, Li Qianfan rose and left without looking back.

Watching Li Qianfan’s retreating figure, Zhao Changsheng was enraged beyond words, his teeth grinding near to pieces.

“After the concert, go kill that punk and bring me his head!” Zhao Changsheng ordered.

“Yes, boss.” The bald man replied.

Li Qianfan returned to his seat. Liu Ruyan immediately asked, “You saw Zhao Changsheng? What did you two talk about?”

“Nothing much, just made a little bet,” Li Qianfan replied casually.

On stage, Lin Jingying had just finished one song. Smiling, she addressed the audience, “This next song is one I wrote for a special someone. In recent times, he’s helped me a lot—saving my life more than once. Without him, this concert wouldn’t have been possible, and I wouldn’t be here tonight to meet all of you.”

“So I want to dedicate this song to him, and I hope he likes it.”

The moment Lin Jingying spoke, the crowd erupted into chaos.

“Who’s this person Lin Jingying is talking about?”

“Is it a guy or a girl?”

“Could it be that Lin Jingying has a boyfriend?!”

“No way! My heart’s going to break!”

“Maybe the person Lin Jingying is thanking is a woman. Don’t overthink it!”

The audience below was abuzz, speculation running wild.
