"Beauty, would you marry me? If not, I'll ask you again later."

When Qiao Bing, known as the coldest beauty in Jiang City, heard these words, she almost exploded into a hot beauty. Her porcelain white face instantly blushed, her beautiful eyes aflame, glaring at the one who uttered these words.

Sport shoes, jeans, a bleached white T-shirt, a shoulder bag, in his twenties, looking hopelessly out of fashion.

Yet, this country bumpkin was audaciously raking a gaze over her while proposing an utterly ridiculous question.

"Scram!" Qiao Bing spat out coldly, an icy aura emanating from her. The hot July suddenly seemed to cool down.

"36C, 173, 104, uh, perfect, except for small breasts. You must be a picky eater, need to eat more." Instead of leaving, the country bumpkin continued to stare at Qiao Bing earnestly.

The usually composed Qiao Bing felt slightly aggravated. This was her private villa, her swimming pool a no-entry zone. Nobody was allowed here, it’s only in this place she could wear a bikini.

However, having just emerged from the pool, her beautiful figure was now exposed before a strange man!

She quickly grabbed her clothes, thoroughly covering her body, and coldly spits out again, "Scram!"

The same word, yet with a different flavor. When Qiao Bing uttered 'scram' the first time, it was purely out of anger and instinct. Now, there was a tint of embarrassment in her voice. This uninvited bumpkin appeared, and in an instant, accurately described her figure.

Everything from her bust size to her height to her leg length, he didn't miss a thing!

"Uh, it's a pity, can't see it anymore," The country bumpkin murmured to himself, looking genuinely regretful. He then flashes a radiant smile at Qiao Bing, "Beauty, since you wouldn't be my wife, I shall take my leave. I'll ask again later."

With that, he turned to leave. However, after a few steps, Qiao Bing shouted, "Stop!"

Upon hearing Qiao Bing's voice, the country bumpkin immediately turned around, "Beauty, are you willing to marry me now? There are many benefits to being my wife. Not everyone gets this opportunity..."

"Who are you?" Qiao Bing interrupted his words, "How did you get in?"

"You might not believe me, but I just walked in here," said the bumpkin with a serious expression on his face. "My name is Xiao Shen, with Shen meaning divine like a divine doctor, and Xiao isn't small, so you can call me Great Divine."

Psycho, right? What do the guards actually do around here, letting all kinds of lunatics in?

"Would you just get ou..." She was just about to ask him to leave when she saw this bumpkin named Xiao Shen suddenly pounce on her. His handsome, sunny face was moving towards her at a speed that she could not prevent.

"Ah!"

She could only let out a short scream before he tackled her into the swimming pool, creating a massive splash in the water.

"Oh, glug, glug, glug, glug..."

Submerged underwater, Qiao Bing couldn't say anything. She could only release a bunch of bubbles angrily, glaring at the young man clinging to her with her beautiful wide eyes.

If looks could kill, she would've killed this bumpkin countless times already.

Whoosh... whoosh...

She suddenly felt a chill at the back of her neck and quickly turned around, only to widen her eyes in horror.

She saw several streaks rushing towards her underwater. What could that be?

Whoosh!

Another wave gushed by, speeding straight towards her face and just grazing past her nose. Only then did she realize it was a bullet, the waves being the result of its high speed underwater.

Assassins!

Qiao Bing desperately tried to hide at the bottom of the pool, but the bumpkin forcefully dragged her out to the surface.

She didn't have time to scold the crazy guy, took a deep breath, and looked at the other side of the pool.

A man dressed in black and wearing sunglasses was holding a pistol.

Looking at the black muzzle, Qiao Bing felt a chill down her spine. It was not her first time encountering an attack, but it was the first time she was in such a dangerous situation.

What am I going to do? Am I going to die here today? Where is the security?

"Hey, do you have any clothes for me to change into? Mine are soaked," a voice of complaint came from the country bumpkin behind her.

"I don't!"

At that moment, Qiao Bing had no concern whether his clothes were wet or not, her beautiful eyes were nervously staring at the killer.

"Actually you should eat more, you're too light, there's no feel when I hold you." He said it earnestly, "If you were a bit more plump, it would be even more suitable for you to be my wife."

"Shut up!"

Qiao Bing was about to go crazy. Didn't this lunatic see the killer? Still babbling nonsense here!

"Miss Qiao, are you waiting for someone to save you? Hahaha, the security outside has already been dealt with by me. You should give up hope. Go die!" The killer said with a sneer.

Qiao Bing's heart immediately sank, ice cold.

No wonder that country bumpkin who called himself Xiao Shen could walk in so easily. It turns out that the security had been taken out by this killer!

"Oh, so it was you who killed those people!" Xiao Shen's voice came from behind, "You idiot! How dare you have designs on my substitute wife! I can't tolerate this. I'm going to take you out!”

Qiao Bing was about to break down. What kind of lunatic is this? Being pointed at with a gun and still bragging. Is he tired of living?

The assassin burst into laughter as if he'd just heard the funniest joke in the world, "Haha, die!"

Laughing, he pulled the trigger.

Bang, bang, bang.

Qiao Bing's beautiful pupils contracted in an instant, her long eyelashes fluttered shut, bracing herself in utter fear for the impending doom.

I'm going to die!

The world was so quiet now that all she could hear was the beating of her heart, her mind went blank, she had never felt so close to death.

Thud, thud.

The sound of a heavy object falling echoed from not far away.

"Idiot! You thought you could kill me?" the familiar voice of the country bumpkin resonated in her ears.

I'm not dead yet?

Qiao Bing, dumbfounded, gingerly opened her eyes, looking ahead.

The assassin was sprawled on the ground, his gun fallen by his side; he seemed to have ceased to breathe.

She incredulously turned her head toward the bumpkin, "You... killed him?"

Xiao Shen smiled cheekily, "Didn't I tell you? I am a divine healer, a healer who can save lives, naturally, can also take them."

Qiao Bing fixed him with a hard gaze, then gracefully clambered out of the swimming pool to examine the assassin's body.

No obvious wounds or traces of blood were visible on the assassin's body, yet he was evidently dead.

"Hey, beauty, I'll ask you again, are you willing to be my wife?" As she turned to look, Xiao Shen was sauntering toward her, drenched and nonchalant.

"I won't marry anyone." Her gaze remained unyieldingly cold, unchanged despite his intervention.

"What a pity then," Xiao Shen shook his head, spreading his hand toward her, "Since you're not gonna be my wife, I've to charge you. Time to pay up."
