Chapter 62: Meeting the Parents

The next morning.

Tang Yu, who had been sleeping heavily, was awakened by the noise. Just as she cracked her eyes open, feeling overwhelmingly sleepy and wanting to drift back off, the sudden memory that Yangyang needed to go to school flashed through her mind. She popped her eyes wide open, sprang out of bed, and sprinted toward the door.

Pulling the door open, she saw Lou Xizhou sitting by the dining area working, dressed in a well-fitted business suit.

There was no sign of the housekeeper anywhere.

Though Tang Yu's brain was still a bit foggy, her mouth was as sharp as ever: "Where is Yangyang?"

Seeing that she was awake, Lou Xizhou stood up and walked toward her.

Of course, Han Baihang was not all that noble, nor could he manage to have all the innocent citizens of Nanjing completely evacuated before engaging in battle. Yet, he still hoped to do his utmost, to spare as many people as possible from the horrors of war.

The tiger demon failed to catch up to Wu Yucheng. Instead, the moment it dashed forward, it collided head-on with several skulls. However, the fiery nature was yang and blazing, perfectly countering the dark Qi. Sustained by the spreading flames, the tiger demon managed to barely hold its ground.

Yet, a giraffe could hardly understand a word Li Qiaoer was saying. It swept its long, massive tongue back and forth in front of Li Qiaoer, failed to find its target, and then gave a few affectionate licks across the back of her neck.

That night was relatively peaceful. No one discovered them, and Chu Ye heard no sounds of fighting from elsewhere either.

Meng Kangtai spat a mouthful of blood right onto Xue Gu's face, causing Xue Gu's expression to shift instantly. With a heavy blow, he slammed his fist straight into Meng Kangtai's stomach.

However, amidst the gaze of the entire audience, this suppression lasted for merely a fleeting moment.

Feng Xiaoxiao looked at Yuchi Gong in astonishment, and the favorable impression she had just held vanished completely in an instant. All her thoughts of kindness and gentleness evaporated—to think she had actually used such wonderful words to describe someone so two-faced! She felt utterly ridiculous; wasn't this simply slapping herself in the face?

How utterly righteous and grand! Once this overriding principle was cast out, the members of the Huang family who had originally intended to voice subtle objections immediately fell silent. Who would dare have an opinion? Wouldn't that be equivalent to wishing the old master ill health?

"Xu Ziyang, what do you think you're doing bringing so many people to East China Sea City?" As the two parties crossed paths and stopped, Ji Wuchang glared at the youth leading the opposite group—who was dressed in azure robes and possessed handsome features—and demanded ungratefully and aggressively.

The parents of the original owner of this body were executives at a multinational corporation. They were not at home at the moment, having gone away on a business trip from which they would not return for quite some time. Moreover, since it was early July and the summer vacation had just begun, they had entrusted Wang Hao's cousin, Yang Yuran, to take good care of him.

After delivering his fourth strike, he stopped moving altogether, standing there like a leopard, poised and ready to pounce at a moment's notice.

"My friend, my younger sister is extremely fond of this piece of blood jade. I wonder if you might grant Hua Yu some face? I assure you the price will be entirely to your satisfaction." The young man smiled without showing his teeth, keeping his distance while directly stating his full name, radiating absolute confidence.

"Brother Ye, do you take me for that kind of person? It's all because my old man has been hounding me. The week before last, I went to visit her place, only to be completely rejected by her parents." Yu Le looked rather dejected, draining the remaining half-cup of clear sake in one gulp.

The shift supervisor did not dare offend Jiang Chen, yet neither dared he violate the rules, so he hastily reported the matter to the hotel manager.

That city appeared to be entirely sculpted out of a single massive boulder, completely devoid of any flashy decorations or intricate patterns, resembling architecture straight out of primitive society.

"Good dogs don't block the path. Get lost! When the Xu family handles matters, it's not your turn to interfere." Xu Ziyang waved his hand dismissively and stepped forward again. Ji Wuchang possessed a stubborn and unyielding temperament; instead of giving way, he took a step forward. A sharp glint flashed through Xu Ziyang's eyes as he threw a punch, unleashing the full aura of the Consolidated Dan Grand Completion realm, which blasted Ji Wuchang back several paces.

All of this was simply too surreal, so dreamlike that even for him, it was hard to fathom or believe.

A subtle and obscure energy was gathering, condensing within a single breath into unknown energetic rules that swept toward Roy and the two others.

Listening to the distant sounds of gunfire echoing from within the town, Hu Gui felt a wave of tension grip his heart, and he nervously murmured a question to Hu Hansan.
