Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Reverse Bounty _1
After careful consideration, Xia Ningning took advantage of Ye Ming’s inattentiveness, and sneaking into the bathroom with her cell phone, she made a video call to Xu Lele.
"Le Le, if I post our travel selfies with Ye Ming, will it cause an even bigger stir?"
Xu Lele showed a shocked expression, and then smiled and said, "That would be fantastic, your social media feed is definitely going to be lively!"
"But it seems like you and Ye Ming have gotten along quite harmoniously these past few days!"
Xia Ningning’s face turned red without any reason, and she hurriedly explained, "Not at all, Le Le, can you please not spout nonsense?"
Seeing her expression, Xu Lele already had a clear understanding.
She said nonchalantly, "Ningning, you need to keep it up, tonight’s your last chance with him, you need to seize the opportunity!"
"In the future we..."
"Alright Le Le! Stop talking nonsense, I’m just posting on social media, what are you thinking?" Xia Ningning’s face was already burning, and she quickly stopped Xu Lele, covering her face.
The two of them chatted about the recent events in Ningjiang City, and Xu Lele was somewhat surprised but felt it made sense considering how Ye Ming had caused chaos there.
After ending their chat, Xia Ningning hung up the video call and carefully selected two selfies to post on her social media.
Within just a minute, Xia Ningning’s cell phone began to ring nonstop.
"Ningning, how could you agree to go on vacation with that jerk?"
"Ningning, where exactly are you? I need to see you when you get back."
After a few messages came through, a series of phone calls began bombarding her.
Xia Ningning couldn’t be bothered to explain, so she simply turned off her phone and went to sleep properly.
At the same time, Ye Ming accessed a website with his own phone.
This website listed a variety of bounties and was used by all the hitmen in the hitmen community.
On the website, as long as you had money, you could post a bounty.
Upon opening the website, the most eye-catching bounty was the assassination bounty on Ye Ming himself, worth a whole billion.
Ye Ming smiled faintly and said, "Only a billion for my bounty? Isn’t that a bit too little? How about we double down! Go big or go home."
Then, Ye Ming registered an account on the website and posted a bounty.
He compiled a list of the person who had originally offered a bounty for his life, as well as the competitor companies that had targeted him, and he posted a final bounty, with a reward of fifty billion.
Instantly, the website’s servers crashed under the influx of countless hitmen rushing to see this astronomically high bounty; how could they not be tempted?
Moreover, all the names listed on this bounty were high-level executives who couldn’t fight to save their lives.
Under the cover of night, numerous hitmen swarmed out, initiating a frenzied slaughter.
All who had targeted Ye Ming, all who had sent assassins to kill Ye Ming, that night they died untimely deaths, and the underworld was swept by a bloody storm.
As for the outcome, Ye Ming was too lazy to bother with it; he simply paid out the bounties and went straight to sleep.
...
The next day, after a lot of hustle and bustle, the group finally returned to Yanjing.
Ye Ming immediately tried to contact Xu Lele as he wanted to see her most urgently.
However, Xu Zhendong had already received the news and promptly blocked Xu Lele’s communications, cutting off their contact.
Ye Ming called several times, but no one ever answered.
Undeterred, he kept calling until the phone was finally answered on the fifth attempt.
Instead of Xu Lele’s voice, it was Xu Zhendong’s warning that came through slowly.
"Ye Ming, I have already made it very clear to you before, you have provoked the Poison Sect of Nanjiang, and they are certain to hunt you down. Being around you is extremely dangerous, and I will not let my daughter follow you anymore."
"You also know the dangers you will face in the future. My daughter being by your side will only lead to endless danger, unless you can reconcile with the Poison Sect of Nanjiang. Otherwise, you should never see Le Le again."
Xu Zhendong wasn’t joking.
His tone was grave as he said seriously, "I am Le Le’s father, and I cannot stand by and watch my daughter walk to her death. So, the rest is up to you!"
With that, without waiting for any explanation from Ye Ming, Xu Zhendong hung up the phone.
Ye Ming felt a wave of melancholy; he hadn’t expected the Poison Sect to become the biggest obstacle between him and Xu Lele.
"What exactly is the Poison Sect of Nanjiang?" he muttered to himself.
Xia Ningning explained, "The Poison Sect of Nanjiang is a terrifying existence."
"Uncle Xu’s concerns are not unreasonable. You killed their young master, and they definitely will not let it go. They will keep attacking you relentlessly."
"It will not be easy to reconcile with them."
As she spoke, Xia Ningning’s face showed a look of worry.
Ye Ming said calmly, "They have harassed me time and again. I do not plan to reconcile with them, but neither will I allow the Poison Sect to become an obstacle between me and Le Le."
"Since they refuse to let me be, I might as well take the fight to their doorstep."
Xia Ningning sighed and said to Ye Ming, "I don’t want to undermine your confidence, but with your current strength, the only outcome if you attack them head-on would be death without a complete corpse!"
"You can hardly imagine the strength of the Poison Sect of Nanjiang!"
Ye Ming frowned and asked, "Is it really that powerful?"
In fact, Ye Ming had already experienced the combat methods of the Poison Sect. The Magic Artifact that Ning Changsheng had previously revealed made Ye Ming shudder with fear, leading him to believe that there must be other, even more sinister Magic Artifacts within the Poison Sect.
Xia Ningning patiently explained to him, "To think that way, you would need to at least reach the Peak Earth Rank in strength to even qualify!"
"Otherwise, you’ll simply be courting death!"
"Peak Earth Rank?" Anticipation shone in Ye Ming’s eyes.
Xia Ningning continued, "There was once an Intermediate Earth Rank warrior who was humiliated by the Poison Sect and thus harbored thoughts of destroying it. He led three Lower Earth Rank experts to the Sect, but after an epic battle that lasted three days and nights, all three disappeared from sight."
"Until today, no one has found any trace of them."
"If you can reach Peak Earth Rank, you might be able to protect yourself and avoid being killed by the Poison Sect’s people, but to destroy the Poison Sect, I think it’s still far from enough."
"You’d better not indulge in wishful thinking; otherwise, no one will be able to save you."
