Liu Jing

Chapter 328 There Is No Most Beautiful, Only More Beautiful

The back of the head is the most vulnerable part of the human body and a vital point. If hit, one would die or be turned into an idiot. Ma Liang's immediate attempt to kill Ning Beichen enraged him.

Furthermore, this was happening without Ning Beichen having any prior enmity with him. Simply out of jealousy, he had attacked an unrelated person with such lethal force. It was highly probable that many innocent people had suffered and died at his hands before.

"Ma Liang, how dare you!"

Chen Mingyue also hadn't expected Ma Liang to resort to such a vicious attack. She immediately moved forward and, with a wave of her palm, blocked Ma Liang's punch aimed at Ning Beichen.

Ning Beichen, with the two of them on his back, had a grim expression. After a moment's thought, he ultimately decided not to retaliate.

"I was just playing a joke, Mingyue. Why are you so angry?"

Blocked by Chen Mingyue, Ma Liang ceased his attack and said with a smile.

"A joke? If I hadn't timely flicked your hand away, Ning Beichen would be dead by now."

Chen Mingyue said, her expression filled with anger.

"How could that be? I was just trying to scare him a little, to let him know what he should and shouldn't do."

Ma Liang stepped forward, glanced at Ning Beichen, and spoke with ill intentions. His smile carried a clear threat.

"Ma Liang, you don't need to meddle in my affairs."

Chen Mingyue understood Ma Liang's intentions perfectly. Any man who got close to her, he would regard as a rival, and many had suffered because of it.

If it were anyone else, Chen Mingyue would have already turned hostile. However, this Ma Liang was the head of the Ma family, one of the four great families of Suhang, and his martial arts prowess was no less than Chen Mingyue's. Even the Chen family of Gusu was unwilling to offend him.

"Beichen, what's wrong?"

Just then, Liu Yilin, hearing the sounds of fighting and arguing from outside, came out of the house to check the situation.

The moment Liu Yilin stepped out, she saw Ma Liang's eyes light up, his gaze fixed on her, seemingly unable to look away.

In Suhang, Chen Mingyue could be considered a rare beauty. But as soon as Liu Yilin appeared, her radiance instantly overshadowed Chen Mingyue's.

If it were the Liu Yilin of the past, she might not have been this captivating. But after cultivating the Star Attraction Art, she possessed an ethereal aura that, combined with her inherent coldness, made her seem like an immortal from the Heavenly Mountains.

Seeing Liu Yilin's beauty, it wasn't just Ma Liang; even Chen Mingyue felt a pang of jealousy.

She had previously believed that her beauty, if not the best in the world, at least surpassed that of very few.

But the moment Liu Yilin appeared, even she felt eclipsed. This began to pique her interest in Ning Beichen.

"It's nothing. This is Miss Chen Mingyue from the Chen family of Gusu."

Ning Beichen gestured for her to come closer.

"Hello, Miss Chen. My name is Liu Yilin. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Upon seeing Chen Mingyue, Liu Yilin was also surprised by her beauty. She approached gracefully and greeted Chen Mingyue.

"Hello, Miss Liu."

Chen Mingyue withdrew her slightly astonished expression. This was the first time she had felt overshadowed by another woman.

"Esteemed beauty, my surname is Ma, and my given name is Liang. I'm from the Ma family of Suhang. Might we get acquainted?"

Ma Liang was utterly captivated by Liu Yilin, his soul seemingly drawn away by her. He could only stare at her, unable to snap back to reality.

Previously, Ma Liang had viewed Chen Mingyue as a star in the sky. But this Liu Yilin was like the bright moon, in no way comparable to Chen Mingyue.

"Such a beautiful woman, I must have her."

Ma Liang's heart was filled with excitement.

"Hello."

Liu Yilin hadn't witnessed the earlier scene, but Ma Liang's gaze made her feel disgusted. She responded faintly and said no more, standing by Ning Beichen's side.

Ning Beichen cast a cold glance at Ma Liang. He had seen countless men with such intentions before.

Liu Yilin's beauty was renowned throughout the new city of Haizhou. After her cultivation, her beauty had become even more striking.

However, Ning Beichen was never short of beautiful women around him. While he found Liu Yilin captivating, he could still maintain a normal demeanor with her.

If it were any other man, few could truly resist her charm.

"Miss Chen, could you give me your contact information?"

Ma Liang, becoming increasingly audacious, asked.

"No."

Liu Yilin coldly refused.

She had encountered many men like Ma Liang and paid them no mind.

Seeing Ma Liang's embarrassment, Chen Mingyue inwardly scoffed. Even she didn't think highly of Ma Liang; how could someone like Liu Yilin? Ning Beichen was indeed fortunate.

Although Chen Mingyue and Liu Yilin were not at all familiar and had never met before, they were both considered rare beauties, never lacking suitors. Their mindsets were naturally quite similar.

However, compared to Liu Yilin, Chen Mingyue was more familiar with Ma Liang. She knew he was a scoundrel who would undoubtedly try every means to obtain Liu Yilin.

"Ning Beichen, Miss Liu should be your girlfriend, right?"

Chen Mingyue spoke at the opportune moment, primarily to point out that the flower was already taken, so Ma Liang should not harbor unrealistic fantasies, thus preventing him from persistently bothering Liu Yilin.

"Miss Chen misunderstands. Miss Liu is my boss, not my girlfriend."

Ning Beichen stated calmly.

Ning Beichen's words surprised Chen Mingyue, but Ma Liang was even happier.

"Miss Liu is really not your girlfriend?"

Chen Mingyue asked Ning Beichen for confirmation again, deliberately emphasizing her tone.

She was actually hinting at Ning Beichen and also trying to help him.

If Liu Yilin were his girlfriend, Ma Liang, however roguish, would still have some reservations, even if not significant.

But if Liu Yilin were not Ning Beichen's girlfriend, then Ma Liang would no longer be polite and would undoubtedly try every way to get Liu Yilin.

Don't talk about mutual affection or simplistic notions like love conquering all. Chen Mingyue knew that not many girls in this world could resist Ma Liang.

It wasn't that Ma Liang was exceptionally handsome, but it was his family background.

The Ma family was a prominent elite family in Suhang.

Marrying Ma Liang meant achieving instant status and never having to worry about money again for the rest of one's life.

Even if divorced later, one could easily receive hundreds of millions in assets. Few girls could resist such temptation.

However, not all girls in this world were so materialistic. Chen Mingyue, for instance, was not.

But there was a condition: Chen Mingyue's family background was not inferior to the Ma family's.

Of course.

If it were solely about wealth, the Chen family of Gusu could not match the Ma family's extensive fortune. The Ma family had risen by adapting to the internet age, while the Chen family of Gusu had accumulated wealth over generations, possessing deeper roots.
