Going home! What a joyous occasion, it was after lunch with Lin Shuxia and Fang Cheng. Yi Feng had dropped off Xia Liu and Fang Fei at the airport. At eight o'clock in the evening, Xia Liu and Fang Fei left the Wanqing Grand Hotel. They had returned earlier, but after several days of not seeing each other, when they went to retrieve their car from the hotel, Fang Fei had pulled Xia Liu straight into getting a room. Then, they went on a three-hour frenzy. Sitting in the car, Fang Fei was almost too exhausted to move. "Xia Liu, do you think Xiaoxue and Sister Zhang will accept me?" Fang Fei asked timidly. "Hehe, not only will they accept you, but a few other girls will as well," he replied. "A few others? Come on, tell me, how many have you bewitched while I was away?" Fang Fei suddenly became interested. "Sister Fang, once we get home, you'll understand," he said. Xia Liu gave a confident smile, mischievously refusing to explain as he played with Fang Fei's hand. "If you won't tell me, then I'll just play with fire to see if you'll drive or not!" Fang Fei kept teasing, determined to force Xia Liu to confess. … On a plane to Huaxia from the Island Nation. In first class, there were only two figures. One of them was adorable and a huge anime fan, who would set any guy daydreaming for days on end—she was Yagyū Ruyan! The other was somewhat mysterious, her face covered with a mask, but her bright eyes shone like guiding lights in darkness. Her eyes alone could captivate countless men. Even seated on a plush chair, her figure was unmistakably supreme-grade! "Ruyan, I heard you've summoned Godslayer?" the woman with the mask asked softly. "Mhm." Yagyū Ruyan nodded, the image of that man flashing through her mind. "Is that man very strong?" "Very strong, I fainted at that time…" … "I'm talking about his combat power." "Very strong! My grandfather, despite having the General's Soul, was no match for him," Yagyū Ruyan admitted, her expression turning serious after the initial embarrassment. "So, will we be able to complete the task successfully?" the woman asked in a voice so gentle and delicate it sparked a strong instinct to protect her. "I definitely can't, but you might. You don't have the qualifications to summon Godslayer yet, but I believe with the traditions of Huaxia men, if you try hard enough, you'll surely make him open up." "Hehe, I'll do my best. When the time comes, I'll let him know that the Yamamoto Family won't tolerate any insolence!" … America, one of the few most powerful nations in the world. This place is also known for having the most chaotic public order. In a very simple bar in one of the states of America. Entering the bar and descending the stairs, passing through four doors, what revealed itself was a vast space, where luxury was the keyword. Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire Gold covered the floor, silver goblets lined the bar, and various luxury spirits were arrayed on the shelves. There were many people here, some seated at the bar, some on couches. Everyone was silent, either scrolling through their phones for updates or watching a giant screen hanging on the wall. On that screen, there were two rankings. One was the Blood List. The Blood List! The global ranking of assassins! The name at the top was from Huaxia: Red Dragon Shadow! The second-ranked was also from Huaxia: Treading Snow Without a Trace! The rest were either in English, or if translated into Huaxia language, still carried a sense of dominance. The other list was called: Kill List! At the top of the list was only two characters: "Nether Emperor! Price: Thirty billion!" Second place, America's so-and-so, thirty billion. The bar was as silent as usual, even though there were about a hundred people sitting there. Beep beep beep... Suddenly a beeping alarm rang through the entire bar. This level of alarm made numerous people look up and fix their eyes on the leaderboard. Then, they widened their eyes, some even cursing. All they saw on the leaderboard was a small avatar appearing behind the Nether Emperor! This indicated that someone had taken on the task of assassinating the Nether Emperor! "Hmm? Is it time to make a move? Interesting, interesting!" In a corner of the bar, a young man with long hair smiled, then got up and left. Hejing, in comparison to big cities, this county town was much smaller. But it was a warm home for many people. Just like the girls sitting tightly on the sofa in the lobby of the Longteng Hotel, their eyes sometimes turned to the doorway, hoping to catch sight of their long-missed loved ones at the first opportunity. Midnight, twelve o'clock, the BMW slowly stopped at the entrance of the Longteng Hotel. Under the illumination of the lights, the girls inside the lobby immediately ran out cheerfully. "Xia Liu! It's all your fault! How am I supposed to get out of the car and face them now?" Fang Fei was almost crying as she looked at her damaged white shirt. If there were only Zhang Qing or Zhang Xiaoxue outside, it would still be fine, but there were also Li Qianqian, Huang Xue, and Gu Fangxia! Eyeing the clothes that someone had torn, Fang Fei's eyes started to moisten. "Hehe, I didn't do it on purpose..." Recalling the situation, Xia Liu could only touch his head and give a wry smile. "I hate you so much!" Fang Fei pouted and shouted indignantly. "Hehe..." Xia Liu laughed awkwardly, if she hated him, so be it. "Sister Fang! Come out quickly!" "Sister Fang!" ... Just as Fang Fei was sulking, outside the car window, the girls were waving their hands, urging her to get out. "Your Sister Fang is too shy to come out." Xia Liu was the first to get out of the car; he didn't force Fang Fei and let the girl come out on her own. "Brother Xia Liu!" Zhang Xiaoxue was the first to rush into Xia Liu's embrace. "You two need to be careful." "Hehe..." "With Xia Liu away, these times must have been hard for this little missy." "Speaking of Xiaoxue, what about yourself?" Li Qianqian, Huang Xue, Zhang Qing, and Gu Fangxia all spoke softly, filled with emotion. "Sister Fang, come out quickly and see, Xia Liu is about to be taken away." "Where? Who is taking Xia Liu away!" Fang Fei came out of the car with her arms crossed. "Wow!" "Sister Fang! What exactly did you and Xia Liu go through just now?" "Feifei! What happened to your clothes?" "Sister Fang, I remember you saying it was a flight at three in the afternoon, but now it's midnight the next day, you and Xia Liu couldn't have been..." "Terrifying!" Seeing Fang Fei's appearance, all the girls were shocked. "What nonsense are you all talking about! I just had a nightmare, and then I tore my own clothes." Fang Fei's face was slightly blush, but she still maintained a serious expression. "Yeah, such a terrifying nightmare that you even scratched marks on your own neck." "Marks?" Fang Fei glanced at the mirror and her complexion changed immediately as she ran towards Xia Liu: "Xia Liu you stop right there!"
