Yama Reborn

[Did you think you were only getting one chapter today?

But then you saw the word count and the number of pages, were you surprised?

A two-in-one chapter for you~]

「 」

Chapter Ninety-Seven [Wait! Let me think this through...]

There's a kind of person in this world who has a peculiar way of drinking.

At first glance, they seem like they can't hold their liquor.

As they drink, they appear to be nearly seven-tenths drunk, just a fraction away from collapsing.

Anyone watching would be under the illusion: Three more drinks, and they're sure to fall!

So they keep drinking, three more, and then another three...

Even after another bottle goes down, they still look charmingly inebriated at just seven-tenths drunk.

But they just won't damn well fall over!

And these types of people are often able to leave the table on their own two feet when the party's over. Even though they may be swaying, they just don't fall!

Isn't it infuriating?

「 」

Wang Laohu fell right into the trap.

Initially, his intent was to get others drunk.

A woman with such a tender voice, how much could she possibly drink?

There's a saying: If a woman doesn't get drunk, a man doesn't get a chance.

But in reality, the likelihood of such a scenario is usually quite low.

On the whole, most women don't drink. The few who do tend to have quieter dispositions than men; even if they drink, they do so with restraint. Those who get wildly drunk are a minority.

So, for men with ulterior motives, getting a woman drunk at a table isn't so easy.

The biggest problem is: how to get her to drink in the first place.

This dilemma was promptly solved for Wang Laohu by Lu Xixi at the very beginning.

"I'll drink as much as you all. Not one drop less! Anybody who dares to drink one drop less, I'll take their life~"

Take their life? Wang Laohu was amused. He assumed it was the woman's tipsy talk, teasing as he winked and smiled, "Sweetheart, how do you plan to take Big Brother's life, huh?"

With a flirtatious tone, Lu Xixi laughed, "Hmm~~ By throwing you down from upstairs~"

Wang Laohu roared with laughter. This beauty sure has a sense of humor!

But then, just before pouring the drinks, Lu Xixi was not satisfied, holding the common small liquor cups from the table.

"So tiny? Is this for mice?" Lu Xixi was dissatisfied.

Wang Laohu was thrilled! His face flushed with eagerness as he waved his hand, "Switch to bigger cups! Bigger cups!"

Much larger glasses were immediately lined up.

And then they started drinking!

Lu Xixi was as good as her word; when a cup was served, it was downed!

Whether it was Wang Laohu, Xiao Yong, or Gu Kang, no matter who among the three men toasted her, Lu Xixi just tilted her head back and drank without any fuss!

In less than three to five rounds, Lu Xixi's face had turned a seductive, rosy red, like a blooming begonia.

She seemed to have a drunken look in her eyes.

Wang Laohu was greatly encouraged!

He felt certain that tonight's prize was within his grasp!

Less than twenty minutes had passed. Three men and one woman drinking, and two and a half bottles of Jiannanchun were finished.

Gu Kang had the poorest tolerance for alcohol, and his eyes were already glazing over. Xiao Yong was doing a bit better but had started to slur his words.

Wang Laohu had the best tolerance... but he too was feeling the buzz.

And this woman before him... she looked seven or eight parts drunk, swaying on her feet, but why wouldn't she fall? And that strong liquor, she's tossing it back like it's water?

Wang Laohu's tolerance was actually quite good, but in less than twenty minutes, he had downed such a large amount of strong liquor so quickly. Now his head was beginning to spin.

Instinctively, he felt he could drink no more. To continue drinking could jeopardize the night's big score!

However, Lu Xixi, with a smile, twisted open another bottle of Jiannanchun and filled up the cups of Wang Laohu and the two other men.

Wang Laohu exhaled, feeling a churn in his throat. Looking at Lu Xixi again, her body was swaying. Her cheeks were flushed red, a picture of adorable drunkenness.

It seemed like she was barely holding on.

But she didn't fall!

「 」

In another small room next door, a separate table of dishes was set up, where Chen Xiaoye and Song Qiaoyun were eating.

Before their meal, Wang Laohu, worried about interruptions, had ushered the mother and son out, using the excuse that it wasn't good for children to be around adults who were eating, drinking, and smoking.

So Xiao Yezi and Song Qiaoyun were sent to another private room to eat.

But after the food was delivered, the door was locked.

Chen Xiaoye sat at the dining table, holding a stewed-till-soft Tiger Skin Overlord's Elbow, gnawing with greasy lips, and simultaneously tugged at Song Qiaoyun's sleeve. "Godmother, Daddy and those uncles and that big sister, are they drinking next door?"

Song Qiaoyun gave Chen Xiaoye a blank look and suddenly furrowed her brows. "There's killing intent!"

Xiao Yezi poked Song Qiaoyun's arm. "Godmother, it's not killing intent, your phone is ringing."

Song Qiaoyun looked down.

She had actually forgotten that she had brought her phone along when she left home.

Now, a cell phone in her pocket was vibrating and ringing.

Song Qiaoyun picked up the phone to answer.

Old Jiang's anxious voice came from the phone.

"Qiao Yun! Honey! Where are you? I came home and you're not here? Oh no, where have you run off to? Have you taken your medication? This is bad, this is very bad! I've looked at your medicine box, and today's medicine hasn't been touched! Where are you? Please tell me where you are!!"

Song Qiaoyun listened quietly then pondered for a moment. "Come forth, announce your name!"

「 」

Old Jiang stood in his living room holding the phone. It's over, it's over, it's over... his heart screamed.

"No, Qiao Yun! It's me, it's me! I! Old Jiang! Your husband! Listen to my voice...listen carefully!"

"...Hmm, it does sound a bit familiar. Sing a couple of lines, let me hear."

Old Jiang: "..."

Fortunately, a familiar, crisp voice suddenly came through from the other end of the phone.

"...Godmother... is it Godfather calling?... Hello... Hello? Hello, Godfather! This is Xiao Yezi~"

Old Jiang nearly burst into tears. "Ye Zi? Oh my! Ye Zi! My goodness! Are you with your godmother? Where are you guys? Quickly tell Godfather!"

"We're at... Wind Shelter Hall," Xiao Yezi said. "Are you coming, Godfather? We're eating right now."

Old Jiang first heaved a sigh of relief!

If his wife was with Xiao Yezi... then doesn't that mean she should also be with Chen Nuo? If they were with the siblings, then they shouldn't be in any danger.

But then he suddenly felt something was wrong!

What the heck? Wind Shelter Hall?? Huh?... Isn't that... that's a paradise where men go to have fun... Pah! Is that a place for decent people to go!!! What the hell is Chen Nuo doing! Eating at Wind Shelter Hall? And he took his master's wife and his sister to that kind of flesh trade venue? No way! He deserves to have his legs broken!

After asking a couple more questions, Old Jiang hastily put down the phone and dashed out of the house.

「 」

Wang Laohu, staggering, stared at Lu Xixi. "That... Miss! Don't drink anymore, you're really drunk this time." As he spoke, Wang Laohu, face gleaming with grease, rubbed his hands together. "Brother here has a place to rest. Shall I help you sit down for a while?"

He reached out his paw to grab Lu Xixi's shoulder.

Lu Xixi sidestepped him, her movements making the men present stare with bulging eyes. She huffed, "Did I say I was drunk?"

Wang Laohu grinned cheekily. "You're not drunk, but brother here is~ Miss, come down and chat with brother...no more drinking, no more drinking, let's call it a night..."

SLAP!

A fierce slap sent Wang Laohu's head reeling!

"Did I say we could stop?" The woman squinted her eyes, staring at Wang Laohu.

Wang Laohu was stunned.

One hand covered his face, which still bore several finger marks! There was a faint pain—the excess drinking had dulled his pain perception.

No way! Wait a minute! This woman, she hit me?

"You... you..."

Wang Laohu reacted!

Not just Wang Laohu, but Xiao Yong and Gu Kang also came to their senses!

Xiao Yong immediately cursed, "You little bitch, you motherf—"

Before he could finish, Lu Xixi had already tipped back her head and gulped down her cup of liquor. "It's your turn to drink!"

"Drink your mom! Are you fucking looking to die?!" Xiao Yong sprang up!

The smile on Lu Xixi's face disappeared in an instant. She stared straight at Xiao Yong. "So you're saying, you won't drink either?"

"Drink your mom!" Xiao Yong stood up, about to come over and grab Lu Xixi by the neck.

He had just reached out...

"Eh? What the fuck! OUCH!"

All of a sudden, Lu Xixi bent over, dodging Xiao Yong's hand, and grabbed his ankle.

With a pull, Xiao Yong fell straight to the ground.

Then, with a cold face, Lu Xixi dragged Xiao Yong by the foot, swiftly pulling him to the window of the room in just a couple of steps.

Xiao Yong struggled desperately, but lying on the ground, he was like an overturned crab, unable to break free at all.

"I'll ask you one more time, are you really not drinking?" Empress Lu looked down at Xiao Yong.

"What the fuck! You motherf—" Wang Laohu also leaped to his feet.

Xiao Yong cursed, "Drink your grandma! You don't want to live—"

WHOOSH!

A figure was abruptly thrown out the window!

SWISH!

PIA!

What the fuck!!

Wang Laohu and Gu Kang were dumbstruck on the spot! They sobered up by half instantly!

He was just thrown out? This, this... What the fuck! This is the third floor, for fuck's sake!!

Lu Xixi turned her head back to her two drinking buddies, the iciness on her face replaced with a beaming, cheerful smile.

"I really hate people who try to get out of drinking! Come on, let's keep drinking~~"

"I'm going to fucking kill you!"

Wang Laohu let out a growl, jumped up, and then picked up two bottles from the table, thrusting one at Gu Kang. "Get her!!"

Gu Kang was taken aback as Wang Laohu pushed him forward a couple of steps. Wang Laohu also charged forward!

WHOOSH! In the next instant, the bottle in Gu Kang's hand was gone, somehow ending up in Lu Xixi's hand.

Lu Xixi weighed it. "Empty!"

Wang Laohu was taken aback.

WHOOSH!

The bottle in his own hand was also gone!

Lu Xixi weighed it again. "Also empty!"

Empress Lu was not pleased. "What's this about? Why are you holding empty bottles? Aren't you two drinking either?"

"I'll drink your—" Wang Laohu started to curse again.

Suddenly, he saw the snow-white glass bottle in Lu Xixi's hand. SNAP! It was crushed by her slender hand!

The sight made Wang Laohu's eyes nearly pop out!

Gu Kang screamed and turned to run towards the main door. He only took a couple of steps before...

"OUCH!"

His body crashed to the ground. His ankle was grasped by Lu Xixi, and he was being dragged towards the window.

Approaching the window, Gu Kang screamed continuously. Suddenly, inspiration struck him, and he yelled loudly, "I'll drink! I'll drink! I'll drink!!"

"You should have said so earlier~" Lu Xixi beamed with joy. She dragged Gu Kang back to the table and released him. He quickly crawled to the table and guzzled a cup of alcohol!

His tolerance was limited, and the burning sensation as it went down made him involuntarily grimace and pause. He barely got halfway through the cup before pushing it aside and gasping for breath.

SMACK!

A slap across the face!

"What do you think you're doing, feeding fish?"

Gu Kang's nose and mouth bled from the slap. He hurriedly overcame the turmoil in his stomach, grabbed the cup, and finished the drink, terrified by the beating. After downing one cup, he then, in one breath, picked up two more, chugging all three.

SMACK!

Another slap sent several of Gu Kang's teeth flying out of his mouth!

"No! Ma'am, I drank, I did drink!"

Lu Xixi's face remained stern. "Did I tell you to drink that much? I only had one cup, and you had three! Who do you think you're looking down on? Are you provoking me??"

Gu Kang was dumbfounded!

Lu Xixi, however, was straightforward! She instantly poured herself two more cups and downed each in one gulp!

She wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, pointed at Wang Laohu with a hearty laugh, "Your turn now! You're three cups short!"

Wang Laohu's face turned various shades of green and white, his expression changing rapidly before he immediately threw back his head and roared.

"SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!!"

Wang Laohu called out several times in a row.

No one answered!

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Laohu's forehead.

This is bad! He remembered his instructions from earlier that night: no matter what noises came from the room, no one was to disturb them.

Damn it!

Looking back at the woman in front of him, where was there even a hint of cuteness?

She was nothing short of a man-eating female Tyrannosaurus!

The smile had once again vanished from Lu Xixi's face.

"Why are you calling for help? Are you trying to weasel out of drinking?"

SMACK!

Empress Lu slammed her palm down on the dining table!

The sturdy rosewood table was immediately smashed by her slap, a hole appearing in it!

Wang Laohu stared blankly for a second...

Then, suddenly, his demeanor completely changed!

He respectfully and properly said in a serious tone, "Lady, what are you talking about! What's the most important thing when navigating the world? Integrity! Am I someone who would welch on a debt? I called people over because I thought you were enjoying your drink so much, I wanted more to join in and keep you company."

Saying that, Wang Laohu picked up a bowl from the table, poured the contents of three cups into it, and lifted it.

GULP! GULP! GULP!

After finishing, he showed the empty bottom of the bowl.

"My respects to you! Well then, I've finished mine, you can drink as you please!"

Lu Xixi was delighted!

And then...

...she opened another bottle!

「 」

Chen Nuo parked the motorcycle by the side of the road and hurried toward the small courtyard behind Wind Shelter Hall.

The gate was tightly shut, but with a leap, Chen Yanluo vaulted over it...

"AH!!!!!"

A scream!

When Chen Yanluo landed, his foot just happened to crush someone's hand.

Looking down, he saw a person lying there, reeking of alcohol, with blood on his head and body.

Poor Xiao Yong. He had been thrown from the third floor and landed in the small courtyard. He was bloodied, and the fall had knocked the wind out of him. He couldn't shout loudly, nor could he get up.

Struggling to crawl to the main gate to seek help, suddenly, someone descended from above...

His foot landed right on the man's hand!

"It's broken, broken..."

Xiao Yong tilted his head, raised his eyes to look at the person...

After just one glance, Xiao Yong didn't hesitate; his eyelids rolled back, and he fainted!

Why? He was scared stiff!

Chen Nuo frowned.

Well, actually, no one could see him frown.

Chen Nuo had put on his battle robe: a leather racing suit, black helmet—the full set of badass gear.

He went straight into the elevator and up the floors. He didn't encounter anyone on the way; Wang Laohu had sent everyone to the front to watch the premises.

Just like that, he arrived at the door of the upstairs lounge he had visited once before and reached out to twist the brass doorknob.

Hmm? Locked?

「 」

Wang Laohu had downed another half catty!

At this moment, he felt like he was teetering on the tightrope of death. Suddenly, he heard the door creak!

His heart pounded with excitement. Wang Laohu quickly pushed away his glass, bellowing, "Someone's here!! Hurry in, hurry in!!! Save me!!"

He sprinted towards the door!

Just as he reached the entrance, the door was flung open.

Wang Laohu looked up, and his legs instantly gave way as a wave of dread washed over him, sending chills down his spine!

There stood the very figure from his nightmares, so vivid and real!

Black helmet, black leather jacket...

THUD. Wang Laohu slumped to the ground! His legs were still shaking uncontrollably; he almost wet himself!

At this moment, Lu Xixi in the room turned towards the door.

The dissatisfaction on her face suddenly transformed, as if a light spring rain had melted away the winter's chill, warming the icy air.

She called out sweetly.

"Husband~

You're here~~ These people are so mean. I was so scared waiting for you~"

Scared? Lady! Who the hell is scared here!!! Wait, that's not right? Husb-husband?? This harbinger of death is her husband? Whoa! If your husband is this guy, why didn't you say so sooner!!

This time, Wang Laohu really did wet his pants; a damp patch spread across his crotch.

「 」

Chen Nuo, frowning, entered the room and first glanced around.

"Where's the little girl?"

"What?" Lu Xixi's eyes were bleary from drunkenness.

Chen Nuo took a deep breath. "The girl that was here with you, is there one? Uh, about five or six years old, this tall... looking really cute."

Lu Xixi grinned and pointed. "She's in another room, having dinner."

Chen Nuo nodded, taking another look around the room. Gu Kang was sprawled on the floor, already unconscious.

This guy would be suffering from alcohol poisoning even if he woke up today.

"..." Chen Nuo sighed. "There's a man downstairs. Did you throw him out?"

"Yeah! He was trying to get out of drinking!"

"And this one?" Chen Nuo pointed at Gu Kang. "Did you hit him?"

"Yeah, he tried to run away."

Chen Nuo nodded, grabbed Gu Kang, and then threw him straight out the window...

PIA!

Wang Laohu, lying on the ground, clearly heard a dull thud!

Chen Nuo pointed at Wang Laohu again. "And what about this guy? What did he do?"

Lu Xixi giggled foolishly. "Him? He tried to get me drunk and take advantage of me..."

Wang Laohu: !!!!!!!!!!

"No! No! Big Brother!! Big Brother, I didn't!! I wouldn't dare even if you killed me!!"

Wang Laohu suddenly bounced up from the ground, then thumped down and knelt again.

Chen Nuo squinted at Wang Laohu. "You know me, don't you? One of Li Qingshan's men? Were you here last time as well?"

"Yes, yes, I was here last time." Wang Laohu knocked his head on the ground repeatedly. "Big Brother! I never touched a single hair of your wife!! Big Brother, I really didn't!!"

Chen Nuo sighed and didn't get too angry at Wang Laohu. Instead, he walked over and patted his head.

"Sigh... you... you got scared tonight, didn't you?"

Huh? Wang Laohu looked up.

Why did he suddenly feel a little aggrieved?

"Well, you'll have to endure the pain, but it's better than losing your life," Chen Nuo remarked.

Then...

Wang Laohu exclaimed as he was yanked up and flown out of the window.

Chen Nuo clapped his hands and walked over to Lu Xixi.

Actually, Chen Nuo was quite tense inside!

He deliberately kept a distance of about two or three steps from Lu Xixi.

"So... do you remember who you are?"

"Huh? I am... I'm Lu Xixi."

HISS!!! She said Lu Xixi! Not Lu Yiyi!!

Chen Nuo took half a step back.

"Then... Lu Xixi, do you know what your nickname is?"

"The Star Sky Empress~"

HISS! HISS! He retreated another step!

"Uh... then who is your disciple?"

"It's Little Candy~~~"

HISS! HISS! HISS! He retreated three steps!

Chen Nuo backed up almost to the door!

He stood at the doorway, ready to pull the door open and run at any moment.

"Then... do you know who I am?"

Lu Xixi smiled with a silly, drunken look in her eyes.

"You are... Nuonuo, my husband~ Even with a helmet on, I recognize you~"

As she spoke, Lu Xixi tilted her head and reached out with both hands. "Husband, pick me up... I can't walk anymore..."

THUD. The Empress also slumped to the ground.

Chen Nuo didn't dare to get closer!

He stared at Lu Xixi and asked again, "So... let's go through this once more, alright? One more time. I'll ask again. What's your name?"

"Why do you need to ask~" Lu Xixi began to throw a drunken tantrum.

"...Uh, if I don't get it clear, I freaking dare not go over there!" Chen Nuo cleared his throat. "What's your name?"

"I'm Lu Yiyi, husband~"

"Ah? Then who's Lu Xixi?"

"Who's Lu Xixi?"

Great! It seemed that during her drunkenness, she momentarily regained some lucidity, but then she forgot again in the blink of an eye.

"Do you recognize the name Star Sky Empress?"

"Hahahaha~~ Husband, what an embarrassing, over-the-top name~~"

Yeah, if you can still say that when you're fully awake, then you win.

"Then... do you know Little Candy?"

"Husband, I don't like candy, I like to drink~"

Phew... Chen Nuo's heart settled. Hmm, it seems she's completely forgotten again.

He went over and picked up Lu Xixi with both hands. Lu Xixi's body had gone limp, and she leaned on Chen Nuo's chest as he helped her out.

"The little girl is in the next private room, right?" Chen Nuo asked, supporting Lu Xixi along the corridor to a door.

After thinking for a moment, he shook Lu Xixi gently.

"You know, honey... there's something, quite a coincidence, hey! Would you say it's a coincidence? But it really is! Didn't you meet a little girl today? Ha... I'll tell you more about it when we meet later!"

"...???" Lu Xixi looked at Chen Nuo with a dazed expression. "What... are you trying to say, husband~?"

"Well, I'll tell you later," Chen Nuo said, steeling himself. "There are many things you don't remember, and I haven't had time to fabricate... Ah, no! I mean, I haven't remembered to tell you... Uh... Look, when we get home tonight, I'll slowly fabricate... Ah, no! Explain everything to you!!"

Lu Xixi's eyes seemed to hold a hint of confusion.

Chen Nuo reached out to pull the doorknob.

With a firm twist, the door lock gave way.

The door was already a third of the way open...

Suddenly, Lu Xixi said, "Oh right, husband, there's also an auntie inside, the child's godmother."

What godmother? What??? Godmother!!!!

Chen Nuo was stupefied!

But it was too late!

Because the door was already open. Inside the room, at a small round table, his sister Chen Xiaoye was gnawing on a pork knuckle.

Song Qiaoyun held an old-model Nokia phone—the cheapest kind.

Seeing the door opening...

Chen Xiaoye looked up, puzzled, at the two people at the door. (Alright, for the moment, Chen Xiaoye didn't recognize this poser wearing a helmet as her own brother... She wasn't Empress Lu, who could recognize her husband just by his aura and telepathic memory.)

As for Comrade Song Qiaoyun...

Auntie Song slammed her hand on the table and shot to her feet!

Holding the phone, she aimed it at Chen Nuo and Lu Xixi outside the door. "Who goes there!?"

Chen Nuo: "..."

Next to him, Lu Xixi lowered her voice. "Husband~ You don't know, this auntie is quite pitiful. She seems to have some mental issues..."

Err, honey, you might not be aware, but on this point, I actually know much more than you! Looking at the room with an unexpected Song Qiaoyun... Chen Nuo was completely at a loss! This isn't the script I know! How am I supposed to make this up!! Chen Xiaoye is my sister? This woman is my sister's godmother, which naturally makes her my godmother? Then what about the 'real dad' who slept in my house last night? Honey, you might not believe it... but our godmother and our real dad, they're actually a couple? Does this even make sense??? How can anyone make up a story like this!!!!

Song Qiaoyun stood inside the room, staring blankly at Chen Nuo.

Suddenly, she shouted loud!

"If I call your name, dare you respond!?"

...

No way!! I really don't dare!! Anyone who responds is a dog!!!

「 」

BANG!

Chen Nuo instantly slammed the door shut again!!

"Husband? Why aren't you going in?"

"Uh... Wait! Hang on! It's a bit chaotic, a bit chaotic..."

「 」

Chen Nuo directly scooped up Lu Xixi and retreated, quickly heading toward the elevator.

Got it! First, get Lu Xixi out of here! Then come back for Ye Zi! I can't let Lu Xixi and Song Qiaoyun meet! Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain! Although Song Qiaoyun may be a madman, her madness is intermittent! When she's lucid, she definitely wouldn't cover for me!

Just as he got halfway down the corridor...

DING!

The elevator ahead opened its doors.

Old Jiang's face was filled with anxiety as he stepped out...

"Qiao Yun! Qiao Yun!! Where are you?! Qiao Yun!!!"

HISS! HISS! HISS!!! Chen Nuo instantly felt as if he'd been struck by the Five Thunder Strike! Damn, this is life-threatening!! This is actually her real dad!!! Honey... turns out my dad didn't have a stroke, isn't paralyzed, and isn't in the hospital! Hey! He's alive and kicking and has come to Wind Shelter Hall for some 'special recuperation', believe it or not?

In an instant, Chen Nuo suddenly noticed a door beside him... It was the very same large lounge where Lu Xixi had been drinking just moments ago.

Chen Nuo pulled open the door like lightning, holding Lu Xixi as he rushed in!

"...Husband? What are you doing?" Lu Xixi lay in Chen Nuo's arms, tilting her head to look at her Nuonuo.

"Uh... Honey, if I say I suddenly have a desperate need to pee and came in here to use the toilet... do you believe me?"

Chen Nuo, hidden under the helmet, was sweating profusely...

「 」

At this very moment, at Jinling City Lukou International Airport, dozens of kilometers away.

At the international arrivals gate, a petite girl, dragging a suitcase almost as tall as herself, walked out.

A few strands of white hair showed beneath her cap.

"Lu Xixi! Daring to play hide-and-seek? Once I find you, you're dead!!!"

The nine-year-old girl gritted her teeth.

Suddenly, Yu Naitang came to a halt!

She saw a familiar figure not far away turn around and look at her.

A medium-built Caucasian man, dressed in casual clothes, with thick glasses perched on his face.

Upon seeing Yu Naitang, a faint smile appeared on the man's face, and he slowly walked over.

"What a surprise indeed, to encounter you in this faraway, magical land."

The man bent down and touched Yu Naitang's head. "Are you here by yourself? Where is Her Majesty?"

Yu Naitang kept a straight face. "She's not around. I'm here on vacation... I'm of Chinese descent, you know."

"Oh..." The man nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Well then, I hope you have a pleasant vacation."

Yu Naitang rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here? The great leader of the Cultivator Association, coming to this ancient country? The people here don't believe in your God."

"Me? Well... I'm also sort of on vacation. Plus, I've taken on an interesting little task," the man sighed. "The Cultivator Association needs funding too."

After a pause, the man touched Yu Naitang's head again and smiled. "Think about it seriously. There's no future in following that madwoman. My offer still stands; you're welcome to be my disciple at any time, my little prodigy."

With that, the man waved his hand, turned around, and disappeared into the crowd.

Yu Naitang stood still, waiting until the man had completely vanished...

Her tiny body started to shake uncontrollably!

Her eyes were full of fear...

「 」

[BANG! BANG! BANG! Those are all the sounds of me loving you guys~]
