After closing the door, Leng Ling'er did not leave but instead pressed her ear against it.
She closed her eyes and listened intently.
However, after just a few tens of seconds, she couldn't bear to listen any longer.
Her cheeks turned bright red, and her body trembled as she gradually moved away from the room.
She stared in shock at the door, muttering, "What bold lovers they are!"
........
......
Time passed.
Several hours flew by.
With a click, the door slowly opened.
Bang!
Gu Yan, gripping the wall, stumbled out, shaking.
"Huff... huff..."
He took deep breaths of fresh air, his body emitting visible steam.
His face glowed with vitality, and his neck and arms were covered in love bites and teeth marks.
It was hard to imagine what had happened inside.
Hearing the commotion, Leng Ling'er rushed upstairs and saw Gu Yan like this. Her cheeks flushed red again, and she asked in a shy, embarrassed tone, "Wha... what were you and my sister doing, shrimp Gu?"
Gu Yan straightened his back, glanced at Leng Ling'er, and then tapped his shoulder, saying, "What are you thinking about, you brat? We were just having some green and friendly interactions."
He rubbed the bite marks on his arm, still feeling the aftershock from Leng Qingqiu's earlier behavior.
Tsk tsk, who would've thought Qingqiu would be so bold?
Of course, they hadn't done anything. Perhaps because Leng Qingqiu lacked that kind of knowledge, she just kept biting and nibbling at him.
It seemed like she was making up for the time they had been apart over the past ten days.
Afterward, as if finally satisfied, Leng Qingqiu fell into a deep sleep.
Gu Yan left only after making sure her temperature had returned to its usual icy coolness.
This reassured Gu Yan.
Moreover, because of this mutual exchange, the restlessness in his heart had disappeared. He could now be considered in a state of sagehood.
Additionally, due to the prolonged interaction, his cultivation had also broken through. He was now at the mid-stage of the Primordial Realm!
Upon hearing this, Leng Ling'er looked at Gu Yan suspiciously. She leaned closer and sniffed.
Then, she frowned, showing disbelief, "This is... the smell of lies!"
Gu Yan's mouth twitched. From the system store, he exchanged for a smartphone, which he took out of his pocket and handed to Leng Ling'er, saying, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Oh, and give this to your sister."
Leng Ling'er took the phone and found it to be an ordinary smartphone. She was puzzled, "Brother-in-law, why this?"
Gu Yan seemed to recall the scene in the room and coughed, "Your sister told me she wants to learn about online products. Set up a VX account for her. This phone is special, so everything can be operated through voice AI. Anyway, Qingqiu is smart, just explain it to her briefly."
Leng Ling'er nodded, then watched as Gu Yan walked downstairs. She called out, confused, "Where are you going, shrimp Gu?"
He left her with a backview, "Got things to do. I'll be back after these days!"
"What!?? You scoundrel! Rubbing out with my sister and then leaving immediately!!"
"???"
You little brat!
Clang clang clang!!
"Ow, ow, bro-in-law! I'm sorry!"
Gu Yan instantly dashed back, and with Leng Ling'er's terrified expression, he raised his fist and gave her head a few firm knocks.
"Sorry? Too bad, bro-in-law just wants to pick on you for a bit!"
"Ow, ow, bro-in-law!!"
........
.........
Nighttime.
The perfect time for action.
In Suite 1 of the presidential suite.
The fake Gu Yan suddenly turned into a pool of black water and disappeared.
Old Gao silently watched this scene.
Then, with a hum, Gu Yan's figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
As he walked, black liquid began to envelop his body.
"Old Gao, time to move!"
Gurgle!
With the black water churning, he transformed into the "Night King Limited Edition" version of Gu Yan.
He clenched his fist, feeling his power, which had grown close to the peak of the Initial Grandmaster Realm due to his cultivation and the abilities of his claws.
Old Gao had been waiting for a while. Covered by the black water, he transformed into a black-robed man. "Young master..."
Gu Yan silently nodded and pointed toward the bed.
Hum!
In an instant, Gu Yan and Old Gao's images appeared on it.
Their auras were identical, and no one would be able to tell the difference.
After all... the claws were the masters of disguise.
Then.
Gu Yan snapped his fingers and said in a low voice, "Come out, my servants."
Instantly.
Hum hum hum!
Members of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the Black Flame Organization from Jianghai High School appeared here.
"Young master!"
They were all created from claw cells.
And what Gu Yan planned to do was simple!
That is!
Activate the [Nightmare Sacrificial Array]!!
This was the Black Flame Organization's most powerful array.
It could kill all those trapped in dreams and sacrifice their bodies, leaving only their souls trapped within the array.
When combined with the [Hallucination Worm], it could even kill the victims without pain.
Due to the constant mental strain for days on end, many members of the sects in Jianghai were already on the brink.
Acting during this time would minimize risks.
In addition, based on previous war council meetings, everyone understood that those chosen by the dagger might be targeting the souls of these vigorous warriors.
Thus, the members of each sect were staying close to each other, just enough for the sacrificial array to engulf them, naturally also affecting some ordinary people.
But!
Gu Yan's goal was not to sacrifice ordinary people. Since the array was initiated by him, his target was solely against those warriors.
And his goal had only three parts!
First, to give the Martial Arts Department the fabricated night aura, or rather... the aura leaked intentionally by the claws, to prove to everyone... he was the Night.
Second, when this happens, as the male protagonist, Xiao Lin and Deng Feng would definitely come. Xiao Lin alone couldn't handle it, but it would deepen his bond with Shen Wan'er. As for Deng Feng... hehe.
Third, it was the trap Gu Yan had set up long ago. Mei Xue, the rebel from the original story, was finally time to catch.
In addition, he received information from You Xingxue in his mind.
Qingqiu... had given this new member of the organization a task: to cooperate with the Martial Arts Department to catch the fake Night.
And the person leading her was Mei Xue!
Hehehe... truly my Qingqiu, always so cooperative with her husband.
Thinking of this.
Gu Yan's figure was enveloped by the black liquid.
Swish!
In an instant, everyone present was instantly enveloped and disappeared.
The operation had officially begun.
