Chapter 289: Chapter 289: The Kunlun Scoundrel Enters Beijiang (Fifth Update)
The beverages were quickly prepared.
Old Stone also thoughtfully mixed three glasses of fruit juice for An Yan and her mother and daughter.
Xue An held his glass and sipped slowly.
Old Stone hid away at a distance, watching with a reverent gaze, and didn’t dare come closer.
“How is Griffin doing now?” Xue An asked indifferently.
After that day, Griffin had returned to the City of Sin.
Old Stone hurriedly said, “Pretty good, I heard he’s planning to set up a few legitimate businesses and stop doing bad things!”
Xue An smiled. Could a demon also change their nature?
At that moment, the door to the bar was pushed open; Wen Sinan walked in.
“Old Stone…,”
Then, his eyes widened as he saw Xue An.
Xue An lifted his cup with a smile, “What a coincidence!”
Wen Sinan took a deep breath, first nodded with a smile to An Yan, and then walked over.
“Give me a ‘Twilight Romance’!”
The drink was quickly served.
But she didn’t drink it, just looked at it quietly. After a long time, she finally said softly, “Are you preparing to leave?”
Xue An nodded, “Of course, I have to go!”
Wen Sinan raised her glass, “I wish you a bon voyage!”
Xue An smiled, “Then what should I wish for you? A booming business?”
Wen Sinan felt a bit embarrassed and after a while said, “Actually, many of the girls who were forced to come here have already quit. Those who remain have no other way out.”
Xue An smiled, “No need to explain. I am not a saint. Where there is light, there will be darkness; it’s very normal! I killed those guys not because of the heinous crimes they committed, but just because… they annoyed me!”
This explanation made Wen Sinan smile wryly.
Destroying half a city with one sword, just because he was annoyed?
And while Xue An was drinking in the City of Sin.
In Huaxia,
Beijiang,
Tang Xuan’er was leading Xiao Sha, preparing to go home.
Now Tang Xuan’er had gotten used to this lifestyle.
Taking Xiao Sha to work, then buying some vegetables on the way home after work – this was a simple day.
“Xuan’Er, heading back?” someone greeted with a smile.
Tang Xuan’er nodded with a smile.
Now, Tang Xuan’er was well-known in the hospital.
Not only because of her beauty but more importantly, because of her background.
Colleagues at the hospital had seen more than once Miss Qin Yu of the Qin family, personally driving over to pick up Tang Xuan’er for an outing.
Miss Qin Yu of the Qin family!
What a status!
To put it bluntly, even the hospital director didn’t have the qualification to meet her.
So many people even started to cozy up to Tang Xuan’er.
As for these, Tang Xuan’er just laughed them off.
As soon as they were out of the hospital doors, Xiao Sha unerringly headed east.
“Hey, going there again! Can’t we take a break for one day? I feel embarrassed, you know!” Tang Xuan’er said helplessly, following behind Xiao Sha.
But Xiao Sha was unmoved, plowing straight ahead.
Soon, they arrived in front of a deli.
The young apprentice was distracted with his work, but as soon as he saw Tang Xuan’er, he lit up as if electrified and immediately perked up.
“Sister, you’re here!”
Tang Xuan’er nodded.
“The usual?”
“Add… add another ten pounds,” Tang Xuan’er uttered, feeling her face turn slightly red as she spoke.
“Sure, please wait a moment!” The young apprentice efficiently started to chop up the cooked food.
Soon, a large bag of cooked food weighing around forty to fifty pounds was ready.
The apprentice asked, “Sister, can you carry it? How about I deliver it for you?”
“No need! Thank you!” Tang Xuan’er took the cooked food, turned around, and left.
The apprentice watched Tang Xuan’er’s retreating figure, inevitably becoming somewhat fascinated.
At that moment, someone knocked on his head.
The apprentice shuddered, “Boss!”
The owner of the deli said somewhat helplessly, “Still looking? If you keep it up, even your eyeballs will fly out!”
The apprentice hung his head, “I… I’m just looking!”
The owner sighed, “Let me tell you, this girl obviously isn’t from an ordinary background. Don’t harbor any other thoughts, understand?”
“Yes!” the apprentice replied, head bowed.
But immediately after, he saw from the corner of his eye several men suddenly stepping forward across the street.
This was normally nothing out of the ordinary.
But it seemed these men had just followed that sister here.
Could they be stalking her?
The apprentice’s hair stood on end.
No good!
The sister is in danger, I must save her!
With that thought, the apprentice dashed out without even taking off his work clothes, leaving his boss’s scolding behind.
Meanwhile, the few men were quietly discussing.
“This girl is really pretty, rarely seen in Kunlun like this!” said one with a fierce face.
“Yeah, and the key is her pure aura, she’s definitely untainted!” added another with a greedy expression.
“But how could a mere mortal offend Fairy Thousand Snow of the Thousand Snow Sect of Kunlun?”
“Who knows, just take her back and there’s a bounty!”
Indeed, these men were from the Immortal Realm of Kunlun.
They were specially dispatched by Fairy Thousand Snow.
Their cultivation level was just enough to enter the mortal world without restriction, making them perfect for such tasks.
However, Tang Xuan’er was completely oblivious to this.
Soon, she entered a desolate demolition area.
Previously, Tang Xuan’er wouldn’t dare to walk here.
But now, with Xiao Sha by her side, it didn’t matter where she went.
The few men following her exchanged glances, their faces showing glee.
“Let’s do it here! There’s no one around, we’ll grab her and head straight back to Kunlun!”
“Alright! Make your move!”
Just as the few men were about to rush forward…
The apprentice, panting heavily, charged in and saw the ferocious look on the men’s faces, which scared him into shouting loudly.
“Miss, run!”
Tang Xuan’er was startled, turned around, and saw the men looking at her with malicious intent.
“Who’s this brat? Scram!” With that, one of the men waved his hand casually.
The apprentice was sent flying, crashing into a muddy field, struggling to get up.
Seeing this scene, Tang Xuan’er couldn’t help but feel shocked.
They were martial cultivators!
“Hehe, girl, just cooperate with us, and we won’t hurt you,” a man sneered.
A formidable presence enveloped Tang Xuan’er.
Tang Xuan’er turned pale, her body trembling slightly.
At this moment, Xiao Sha snorted coldly and stood in front of Tang Xuan’er.
Now, Tang Xuan’er was its provider of food and clothing; without her, it might still be catching fish in the lake every day, unable to enjoy such delicious roasted chicken.
So, for those who dared to harm Tang Xuan’er, it didn’t mind teaching them what it meant to be fearful!
The men also paused in surprise.
How did a dog suddenly appear?
And looking at their eyes, it seemed… full of disdain!
Were they being scorned by a dog?
