In the depths of the Night Organization's base, five kilometers underground.
The corridors were lined with black metal panels, reflecting faint blue lights, creating an atmosphere of isolation and mystery.
In the spacious and brightly lit underground hall, there were seven members of the organization.
They were scattered in various corners, each with a different expression, but all shared an unparalleled excitement in their hearts.
A tall and burly man with thick silver hair and a beard that reached his ears stood with his eyes closed against the wall, his face etched with the marks of time.
When he glanced at Bai Lian, who was sitting with her legs crossed, applying makeup, he couldn't help but frown.
"What is it, Zhao Lei? Do you have any objections?"
Bai Lian sat with her legs crossed, applying makeup to her face in a small mirror. She seemed to have noticed Zhao Lei's gaze and spoke while continuing her makeup routine.
Zhao Lei turned away, snorting coldly. The master was about to arrive, yet she was still applying makeup. It was too lax, and he was particularly dissatisfied with such idleness.
Bai Lian rolled her eyes. She was only hurrying to touch up her makeup to present the best version of herself in front of the master. What did this old man know?
"Alright, stop bickering as soon as you meet. Quarrelling is minor, but getting scolded by the master would be worse."
At this moment, a well-proportioned woman with long hair cascading down her shoulders and deep, gentle eyes walked over with a smile.
She wore a long green dress, exuding a refreshing and elegant aura.
Her smile revealed maturity and intellect.
"Miaoyin, it's these smelly men who don't understand romance. That's why the master always favors Sister Mei Xue~"
Bai Lian put away her small mirror, stood up, and sweetly wrapped her arm around the green-dressed woman who had just arrived.
As soon as these words were spoken, the two swordsmen on the training platform suddenly stopped.
A man with bandages covering his face, gripping a sword, stared fiercely at Bai Lian with one uncovered eye, growling, "You... you... what did you say..."
At the same time, the handsome man beside him, with long black hair, quickly stopped him.
His eyebrows carried a cold indifference, his right hand tightly gripping a dark blue sword, the blade shimmering with a faint chill: "Jian, stop. The master is about to arrive."
"But... but... but... damn you, Bai Lian..."
Jian spoke haltingly, clearly unwilling.
On Shangguan Miaoyin's side, she slightly raised the corner of her mouth and gently tapped Bai Lian's head: "What do you mean by smelly men? Uncle Zhao is our senior."
"As the last to arrive, you have the least seniority, yet you've managed to offend all the seniors."
At this point, even Shangguan Miaoyin felt a bit helpless.
Bai Lian was good in every way, but her mouth... it could really drive people crazy.
"Nonsense! I haven't offended everyone!"
"Ask Xiao Ya Ya, he knows I'm very gentle and weak."
Bai Lian said, looking at the half-beastman Liao Ya, who had previously fought with Mei Xue.
Upon seeing Bai Lian's gaze shift to him, Liao Ya immediately felt extremely nervous.
His speech became stuttered: "Ah... ah... ah... Bai Lian couldn't be wrong..."
After saying that, he shyly lowered his head. Bai Lian called me Xiao Ya Ya...
She must see me as special...
His tail drooped, and his ears fell, as if he were floating on air.
Murong Ci remained calm, leaning against the corner of the wall, lost in thought, unaware of what he was pondering.
And then, in the next moment.
Clink!!
Suddenly, everyone felt an inexplicable surge of dread in their hearts.
This feeling was! The master!
All the members' expressions turned serious, and Bai Lian and the others quickly moved to the center of the hall, standing in two rows.
Their movements were synchronized, and under the uniform black suits, individual differences were minimized, blending everyone into a part of the Night Organization.
After taking their positions, they quietly awaited the arrival of the Night King.
Each of them could feel their own excited heartbeat.
It had been too long, far too long.
They had waited far too long for a new directive from the Night King!
The hall's lights reflected off the black uniforms, outlining each member's silhouette.
Their eyes revealed their reverence for the Night King.
The next second.
Hum!! A terrifying and eerie pressure surged through the hall.
Yet, the Night Organization members were filled with unprecedented excitement.
Immediately, black mist gathered and swirled before them, and in an instant.
A figure stood before them.
Everyone immediately knelt on one knee.
They shouted fervently: "Greetings, master!"
"Greetings, Night King!!"
Leng Qingqiu's figure was slender, dressed in a black robe, resembling a goddess of the night. Her long hair, as black as the night, cascaded over her shoulders, faintly shimmering with an eerie glow.
Her face was cold and beautiful, exuding an aura of inviolability. Her eyes, when opened, contained two mysterious ancient runes.
Her high nose and pale lips outline a dignified and aloof demeanor, while her snow-white skin exudes a cold and exquisite beauty.
Her every movement exuded a composed and calm demeanor. She opened her hand.
A pure dark force surged from her palm, and she said lightly: "This is the Night's Blessing."
Hum!
In an instant, pure dark energy spread throughout the hall like a sky full of stars.
A continuous stream of power flowed into everyone's bodies.
Everyone felt their strength increase: "This energy!! The master's power has grown even stronger!"
"No wonder, the master's strength has increased so much in just a few days!!"
"Master!"
"Master!"
All the members shouted fervently.
Leng Qingqiu nodded in satisfaction, her cold voice echoing through the hall: "Report the recent situation."
Tsk tsk.... I didn't expect Gu Yan's bodily fluids to be so effective.
It's only been twice...
Leng Qingqiu felt a bit embarrassed. After all, she was the Night King.
Yet, the way to enhance her strength was through something like... that with Gu Yan...
........
.......
In the bustling commercial street.
Deng Feng, a descendant of the Black Tortoise Gate, walked proudly through the streets.
Due to recent training, his once slender body had become much more robust.
He now held a substantial sum of money, given to him by the Black Tortoise Gate's sect leader.
The purpose was to allow him to return to campus with a newfound confidence, to teach those who had once looked down on him a lesson.
Therefore, he planned to purchase a set of neat clothing for himself at the commercial street.
Any lingering inferiority had been washed away, and Deng Feng felt he had been reborn.
But suddenly, it seemed he spotted something, and he quickly darted behind a billboard.
He peeked out and saw the bustling crowd.
That is!
"Ling'er?!"
Deng Feng widened his eyes, spotting the figure at the front of the crowd.
It was the person he wanted to protect... as well as her boyfriend, Gu Yan!
The two seemed to be talking, and Ling'er appeared to be very happy.
In addition to their classmates Bai Qionglan... there was another man wearing glasses whom he didn't recognize.
Deng Feng clenched his fists, his eyes fixed on Gu Yan. The latter, once compared to him, was like the heavens and the earth.
But now, things were different. He had become a martial artist! Yes, he now had the qualification to protect Ling'er.
With this thought, Deng Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to step out and meet Leng Ling'er.
Not yet... he had to present himself in a dashing manner, only then would he be worthy of speaking to Ling'er.
Just you wait, Gu Yan. I will make Ling'er see who is truly suitable for her!
