Gu Yan rubbed his neck as he left the Leng Family residence, looking somewhat troubled.
Ouch, ouch, ouch. It seems Qingqiu is angry again.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
He didn't know if it was because of practicing the Pure Love Cultivation Technique (practicing pure love makes you stronger), but now he could sense the presence of many special auras.
For example, as soon as he stepped through the gates of the Leng Family home, he noticed that besides Leng Qingqiu, there was actually another person present in the study.
The aura of this other presence was slightly different from Mei Xue's, but similar in that both of their auras had a chaotic feel to them, like throwing all the leftover food into one pot and cooking it together.
It must be another one of Qingqiu's subordinates.
However, when he approached the study, he found that the aura quickly fled outside and disappeared.
So Gu Yan guessed that Leng Qingqiu must also be able to sense his aura.
Originally, he had a good plan: first, spend a loving evening with Qingqiu.
Then, when it was about time to leave, he would go with Mei Xue to Xiao Lin's place to carry out his plan.
But now it seemed this plan wouldn't work.
If he were to meet with Mei Xue so close to Leng Qingqiu, she would likely sense it.
He didn't want Leng Qingqiu to know what he was doing behind her back at the moment.
Firstly, because Leng Qingqiu's affection for him hadn't yet reached a very high level.
If she found out that he wasn't as ordinary as he appeared on the surface, she would definitely become wary of him.
Secondly, regardless of her affection level, given Leng Qingqiu's villainous nature in the original story, if she discovered that he might not actually be an ordinary person...
The consequences would be unthinkable.
At that point, she might mistakenly think he was involved in that massacre years ago.
Then everything would be ruined.
Sigh.
Gu Yan let out a light sigh. Whatever, he'd take it one step at a time.
If he was discovered, he'd deal with it then.
"Alright, let's see where Mei Xue is."
Gu Yan called out to the system in his mind.
Begin locating Mei Xue.
.....
......
Jianghai City.
Inside a tea restaurant called "Night".
Waiters dressed in maid outfits and butler uniforms bustled between tables, carrying aromatic dishes.
At the cashier counter in the restaurant, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses was observing everything in the store methodically.
This restaurant had a special feature.
From the staff to the manager, everyone was actually a blind person with their eyes covered by cloth!
"Customer No. 1 wants a bowl of pork chop rice with a fried egg."
"Alright, coming right up."
"Mei Xue, the customer at table 3 has left, go clear the table."
"Yes, manager."
Although Mei Xue had her eyes covered, she could still steadily stack dozens of plates.
"See, this is what makes this tea restaurant so impressive."
"Look, all the staff are blind, but they can carry plates and clean up just like they can see."
A customer was explaining to the friend he had brought along.
"It must all be fake. The cloth they're wearing over their eyes must be transparent from the inside."
The friend scoffed, refusing to believe in this so-called blind tea restaurant.
Just then.
"Would you two handsome gentlemen like to order something?"
A sweet voice came from beside the two men.
They turned in surprise to see:
A girl with long white hair in a high ponytail, wearing a maid outfit, holding a menu, with her eyes covered.
Although her eyes were covered and her full appearance couldn't be seen, she exuded an aura that made people want to cherish her.
Gulp.
The two men swallowed hard.
"Ah, this is my second time here. My... my friend is here for the first time."
Hearing this, the high-ponytailed girl lightly placed her hand by her mouth and spoke in a soft, cottony voice: "Oh? Then Lian Lian must take extra special care of the little brother who's here for the first time~"
Saying this, she put down the menu, reached out to hold the hand of the blushing first-timer, and moved his hand to point at the most expensive dish on the menu, priced at 8,888 yuan.
"This 'Love is Like Water' Tender Bone Ramen is one of Lian Lian's most recommended dishes!"
"It represents Lian Lian's deep love for you, little brother."
Love... love...
Feeling the warmth on his hand and the heavenly beauty so close, the first-timer was stunned.
He nodded dazedly: "Then I'll have one of those."
"I want one too!"
The second-timer quickly chimed in.
As soon as the words fell:
The high-ponytailed girl immediately withdrew her hand, picked up the menu, and called out to the kitchen with a gentle expression: "Two S-set meals."
Then she turned and left without looking back.
Ah, how boring. Why do we have to do this kind of thing here?
With her back to the two men, the girl instantly dropped her sweet smile, replacing it with a look of disgust.
Mei Xue, who was passing by clearing plates, said quietly: "Bai Lian, watch your expression, more customers are coming."
Hearing this, Bai Lian put on another sweet smile.
Old lady Mei Xue, just because you were summoned first and are favored by the master, you're acting all high and mighty.
Bai Lian was very disdainful in her heart.
But on the surface, she still sweetly said: "Okay, Sister Mei Xue!!"
Mei Xue couldn't be bothered to deal with this two-faced person.
She stacked dozens of plates in her hands and walked into the back kitchen.
Bai Lian gave her the middle finger behind her back.
The next second.
Ding-a-ling~~
The front door was pushed open.
Bai Lian quickly put on a smile and turned to greet: "Welcome~"
When she saw that the newcomer was a man outstanding in both looks and temperament, Bai Lian's eyes lit up.
Wow, it's a handsome guy!
Gu Yan walked into the tea restaurant called "Night".
He first looked around: there weren't too many or too few customers, with one or two staff members greeting people outside.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses stood at the cashier counter.
It looked just like an ordinary tea restaurant.
But... the aura freely emanating from inside, the same as Mei Xue and the others, made Gu Yan curl his lips into a smile.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Who would have thought, who would have thought.
So this is where the Night Organization's base from the original story was located.
The original story didn't specify exactly where the Night Organization's base was, only vaguely mentioning that it was hidden in Jianghai City.
"Little brother, Lian Lian hasn't seen you before. Is this your first time here?"
Seeing that Gu Yan wasn't speaking, Bai Lian thought he must have been captivated by her beauty.
She felt a hint of disdain in her heart. Tonight's meal ticket is secured.
He looks quite wealthy. I'll have him treat me to dinner at Jianghai City's most luxurious restaurant!
However, Gu Yan only glanced at Bai Lian before walking straight to an empty table.
?
Bai Lian, who had been ignored, slowly raised a question mark. Her expression was becoming difficult to maintain.
Ignoring me?
Hehe, playing hard to get, are we?
Rich people really know how to play games.
Bai Lian took a deep breath. She couldn't believe that any man could resist the charm naturally exuded by her alluring physique.
Thinking this, she put on a smile again and walked towards Gu Yan.
g Yu was preparing for retirement when her organization decided to eliminate her. She transmigrated to a zombie apocalypse world. However, a tiny unexpected situation occurred: She somehow transformed into an adorable little girl?!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
