Chapter 257 The Bound King
The land of jade.
Manager Liao already knew Bai Li was coming and was waiting at the door.
When Bai Li finally came into view, his eyes lit up instantly. He strode forward, his face beaming with smiles: "President Bai, I've been waiting for you like the stars and the moon, and you've finally arrived."
Manager Liao's exaggerated way of welcoming her successfully brought a smile to Bai Li's face.
She had already experienced Manager Liao's style before, so she was still accepting it well. She chuckled and said, "Stop with the pleasantries and lead the way."
"Okay, sure," Manager Liao replied loudly, beaming with a smile.
As he turned around, his gaze inadvertently swept over Bai Li's back, where several burly men came into view, clearly her bodyguards.
One of the men immediately caught his eye.
His professional instincts compelled him to take a few more glances.
This person is definitely not a bodyguard.
With an abstinent appearance, an elegant figure, and a unique temperament, she is the epitome of perfection!
Based on Manager Liao's extensive experience in judging people, if this person were to come to their Emerald Kingdom, he would be absolutely a top performer!
The only drawback was that it was too cold; those distinctive blue eyes were fixed on him, as if carrying endless chill.
The moment their eyes met, Manager Liao felt a chill run down his spine and he couldn't help but shiver.
He muttered timidly to himself: Why did President Bai bring his little lover with him when he came to the land of jade?
Judging from his expression, he's clearly in a bad mood. I hope he doesn't spoil Mr. Bai's mood.
After a moment's hesitation, Manager Liao cautiously asked, "President Bai... are they coming in too?"
"What? Is that not allowed?" Bai Li raised an eyebrow and asked, her gaze landing on Manager Liao with a half-smile. "I'll feel more at ease if I bring more people. I don't want to go through what happened last time again."
Mentioning the previous incident, Manager Liao shuddered again, cold sweat dripping down his back. He quickly forced a smile and drawled, "President Bai—you can rest assured! What happened last time was purely an accident. I guarantee it will never happen again!"
As he spoke, he led the group into the Emerald Land, no longer dwelling on Bai Li's extra entourage, and instead enthusiastically began to introduce the place:
"We have upgraded our security system in every aspect, and each booth uses the most advanced protective measures. Mr. Bai, if you are still concerned, you can inspect our work now!"
Bai Li waved her hand casually: "Not going to the booths today, where's Luo Nan?"
Manager Liao smiled mysteriously and bowed, gesturing for him to enter: "Luo Nan has been waiting for you in the VIP room for quite some time. Mr. Bai, this way please!"
-----------------------------
The moment the private room door opened.
The warm orange glow of the wall lamp, carrying the scent of incense, wafted towards us.
White Pear and Flax were stunned.
What did she see?!
No wonder the man surnamed Liao had such a mysterious smile on his face.
The moment Bai Li saw the scene inside the private room, she subconsciously touched her nose to make sure that her nose wasn't bleeding.
She took a deep breath and looked away, then blushed and looked back, only to be shocked again, letting out a curse:
"I rely on..."
This is amazing, baby.
The entire wall of the private room was covered with gold-embossed vine-patterned silk, which shimmered under the reflection of the crystal chandelier, resembling a desert palace bathed in moonlight.
In the center is a huge throne, carved from a single piece of obsidian, with tiny diamonds inlaid on its surface that gleam coldly in the dark.
The agate tassels hanging from the gilded dome trembled slightly in the airflow, cutting the figure on the throne into flowing golden-brown spots of light.
—On the throne is a bound king.
He was dressed head to toe in traditional Arabic-style gold clothing, with his chest exposed, wearing a crown that covered his eyes, and a gold chain wrapped around his chest at a suspicious location.
The man's bare chest rose and fell with his breath, the rubies on his earrings swayed gently with his movements, his bronze skin was faintly visible under the thin gauze embroidered with gold thread, and water droplets condensed on his collarbone slid down the winding gold chain.
The dark brown skin contrasts sharply with the gold accessories, creating an exotic and extravagant look.
He was clearly a king, yet he was in a state of utter disarray on his throne.
The silk robe was torn, the arms were chained to the armrests of the throne, and the feet were shackled to copper rings on the ground.
He appeared to be waiting for someone to rescue him.
But who knows what awaits him?
Is it relief, or even more severe retaliation?
After all, this king is now powerless.
Bai Li was so shocked by the scene before her that she dared not step inside.
Seeing Bai Li covering her face and not coming back to her senses for a long time, Manager Liao thought that the scene was too realistic and had frightened the distinguished guest. He quickly explained, "President Bai, this scene was specially made for you. All the props have been made safe. Teacher Luo's restraint device is magnetic, so you can rest assured."
Bai Li slowly came to her senses and for the first time felt that the buyout price of 500 million per day was very worthwhile.
As expected of the land of jade, their success is well-deserved.
The entire scene setup is clearly meticulous, making you feel like you're actually there at first glance.
Looking at Luo Nan's makeup and styling, Bai Li can only say that it suits him very well.
He was originally dark-skinned with beautiful muscles all over his body, and this makeup and styling brought out all his advantages and charm.
It's just too explosive...
What have they done to this innocent little brother?!
It's unclear how Jade Kingdom convinced Luo Nan to dress like this, but he must be extremely embarrassed, as he hasn't even given Bai Li a second glance yet.
Fortunately, Bai Li hadn't forgotten her purpose in coming to the Land of Emeralds. She quickly glanced back at Jing Ye.
Jingye looked at the decorations in the private room and smiled very gently.
Bai Li secretly thought to herself that something was wrong.
She quickly blocked Jingye's view, turned around and waved Manager Liao away: "Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and do your work. I need to talk to Luo Nan alone."
Manager Liao chuckled and, understanding the implication, withdrew, saying, "Then I wish you a pleasant time, Mr. Bai."
Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief after Manager Liao had walked away.
"Ahem." Bai Li coughed awkwardly twice. "Ah Hu, you guys wait at the door. Jing Ye, come in with me."
If I didn't bring Jingye along, and went into this "sinful" private room alone, I'd be bursting with jealousy the next second.
Bai Li took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart, and slowly stepped inside, trying to make her voice sound calm: "Luo Nan, is it convenient for you to come down now?"
Hearing the noise at the door, Luo Nan's fingertips, which were hanging on the armrest of the throne, unconsciously curled up, and as his Adam's apple bobbed, the gold chain in the hollow of his collarbone made a soft rustling sound.
Hearing Bai Li's question, he looked up, revealing his puppy-dog eyes beneath his crown, and asked uncertainly, "President Bai, there's more to the story, don't you need to watch it?"
Bai Li felt the almost tangible low pressure emanating from Jing Ye behind her and quickly waved her hand: "I'm not watching anymore, you should come down first and put on a coat! I'm here to tell you something important today."
Upon hearing this, Luo Nan slowly nodded, then gently pulled off the chains binding his hands and feet. He then turned around and tore off a long strip of exotic cloth from the throne, wrapping it around his body: "I don't have an overcoat, is this alright?"
Bai Li nodded: "That works too."
At least we're no longer in a state of bare-chestedness; we can finally have a proper discussion.
