If Ye Shikai was the Netherworld King, what did that mean? Although she didn’t know what Netherworld King signified, judging from the skills of Ye Shikai and Nightmare, the title was not something an ordinary person could possess. Yet Luo Shiqi would never imagine that the title of Netherworld King could even be more valuable than that of some small country’s president. “Anyway, I still need to thank you,” Luo Shiqi said, bowing slightly. At this moment, a group of bodyguards barged in through the door, led by a female bodyguard. Seeing the carnage in the private room, and then looking at Nightmare next to Luo Shiqi, they all raised their guns warily, aiming at Nightmare. Nightmare looked disdainfully at everyone and turned to Luo Shiqi, “No need to thank me, protecting you was his order, and I will comply.” Nightmare paused and then coldly regarded the group of bodyguards, “But relying on these ants, it will probably be very difficult to ensure your safety in the future.” With a swing of Nightmare’s right hand, a gust of wind surged towards the bodyguards, forcing everyone to stumble back several steps and drop their guns to the floor. “I dislike when people point guns at me,” Nightmare stated before preparing to leave. “Wait a minute,” Luo Shiqi called out, “Can you tell me where Ye Shikai is now? I can’t get through to his phone.” “About that... I’m sorry, I don’t know either.” After pondering, Nightmare still didn’t answer and left the club directly. At the Yanjing airport. Su Qingyu, Ailina, and An Lan were sitting in a café. In half an hour, the plane flying to the European royal airport would take off. Only Su Qingyu and Ailina were going, while An Lan was there to see them off. Ailina was looking around somewhat vigilantly. Regarding her and Su Qingyu’s decision to go to Europe, she had informed the Netherworld Palace’s base in Yanjing. Jeddon had arranged for Wild Wolf and Short-nosed Crocodile to disguise themselves as tourists and accompany them. As Ye Shikai was the Netherworld King, in Jeddon’s eyes, Su Qingyu was the Netherworld Empress, their master. Su Qingyu’s safety was always the top priority, coupled with Ailina’s company, their security was assured. “Qingyu, make sure to call me once you arrive in Europe,” An Lan said. “Okay, I know. Don’t worry,” she replied. “There’s one more thing; after meeting Ye Shikai, could you... let me know how he is?” An Lan started hesitantly, and Su Qingyu’s expression subtly changed, but she still nodded in agreement. Su Qingyu was very aware that An Lan still harbored feelings for Ye Shikai, but she wasn’t the type to betray a close friend. “Thank you, Qingyu,” An Lan sincerely said. “Alright, the plane is about to take off; we should be going,” Su Qingyu said after sipping her coffee. Ailina handed her coat to Su Qingyu. An Lan, while the other two were not looking, secretly sighed. She wanted to see Ye Shikai in Europe too, but doing so would surely cause misunderstandings, even antipathy from Su Qingyu—who was after all, the wife. An Lan couldn’t bring herself to do that. Another reason was, with Su Qingyu gone, An Lan had to take care of all the company matters by herself, a critical responsibility she couldn’t abandon. Watching the two figures slowly approach the boarding gate, An Lan turned and left... Throughout the journey, Ailina dared not relax at all, staying alert at all times. Yanjing was like a paradise where foreign powers did not dare to act rashly, for doing so would mean courting death. However, now they were abroad, where those people could launch an attack at any moment, brazen and without fear. It goes without saying that protecting Su Qingyu abroad was much more difficult than in Yanjing. Meanwhile, Wild Wolf and Short-nosed Crocodile were seated in the economy class, closely observing their surroundings. The trip had been very smooth, nothing had happened, and the plane even arrived on time. Ailina accompanied Su Qingyu as she slowly disembarked from the plane, with Wild Wolf and Short-nosed Crocodile following behind. However, unbeknownst to the four of them, a pair of eyes had been watching them for a long time... In the taxi. “Ailina, you grew up here since childhood, tell me, would European society be different from Huaxia in some aspects?” Su Qingyu asked. “Let’s talk about that later,” Ailina replied, not conveniently able to speak right now. At that moment, the taxi suddenly came to a halt. “What’s going on?” Su Qingyu looked at the driver in the front seat with some confusion. However, Ailina cursed silently to herself, then lunged at Su Qingyu, pushing her down onto the seat. “Bang.” Suddenly, the driver turned around, a handgun appeared in his hand, and he fired a shot directly at Su Qingyu. Luckily, Ailina pushed her away in time, and the bullet only struck the backrest of the seat. The driver tried to shoot again, but Ailina, being a cultivator, wouldn’t allow him to get his way. She swiftly threw a flying knife from her sleeve, piercing it straight into the driver’s throat. “Quick, we need to get out of the car.” Ailina grabbed the still-shaken Su Qingyu. If Su Qingyu had not been abducted before, having seen dead and injured people, she might have been scared senseless by now. Even though the driver’s assassination attempt was sudden, it still left Su Qingyu pale with fear. The two got out of the car and realized it had been driven to a very secluded place with not a single soul around. Clearly, this was the work of someone clearing the area... Ailina protected Su Qingyu behind her. If nothing went wrong, Wild Wolf and Short-nosed Crocodile should be arriving soon. If it were just an average assassin, the three of them should still be able to handle it. “As expected, a master from Netherworld Palace, quick to react.” At this moment, a group of people in black quickly rushed out from every alley, surrounding the two of them. The leader of the group was a surprise to Ailina. “Jialong, I didn’t expect to see you here.” That’s right, the person leading the group was none other than Jialong, a subordinate of Poseidon who had been defeated previously in Huaxia. After that battle, the Netherworld Palace had been unable to find both Jialong and Poseidon, and yet here he was. “Who are these people?” Su Qingyu asked, somewhat afraid and anxiously glancing around. These people didn’t seem like robbers; they looked more like enemies holding a grudge. “Miss Su, don’t worry, I guarantee your safety,” Ailina reassured her, patting Su Qingyu’s back. If Jialong was here, then Poseidon must be nearby. That would be bad news. Even if Wild Wolf, Short-nosed Crocodile, and Ailina teamed up, they were no match for Poseidon, let alone with Jialong also present. However, even in the face of death, Ailina would protect Su Qingyu. Now their only option was to try and stall for time. “Ailina, this is not Huaxia. I’ve been waiting here for a long time, biding my time like a hunter for a rabbit,” Jialon declared triumphantly while motioning for his men to approach. Ailina pulled out her whip, shielding Su Qingyu behind her.
