I Can See All The Bosses' Drops

"Screech~"

Three He Clan taxis screeched to a halt at the foot of a mountain.

Soon after, Zhang Xinying and the others each got out of the three cars, while the drivers inside expressed their thanks:

"Arigato."

Once everyone got out, the three cars revved off impatiently, as if staying here a moment longer would be dangerous.

Heaven-Gifted Ouyang Hao saw this and couldn’t help but laugh:

"These people living the good life have such timid hearts."

But he turned to look around.

On this smooth asphalt road, besides their group, there wasn’t a soul in sight.

To say nothing of anything else,

there weren’t even any streetlights here.

Standing here, they could just glimpse the distant, brilliantly lit metropolis through the gaps in the trees.

Compared to here, it was like two different worlds.

Suddenly, a chilly breeze blew in, causing Ouyang Hao to shiver and say:

"Hiss~"

"Is the temperature difference always this large here?"

Mind you, he was still wearing short sleeves.

During the day, the temperature had approached 40°.

But now, it was only around eight o’clock.

Standing here, he could actually feel a chill, as if autumn had arrived.

Just then, Silent Ouyang Jing suddenly grabbed Zhan Chen Zhan Tianpeng’s arm, lowering her head.

Zhan Tianpeng turned to look and saw Ouyang Jing seemed to be afraid of something.

And Zhan Tianpeng certainly knew what she was afraid of.

Because Ouyang Jing had just said in the car: ’She could see things that ordinary people couldn’t.’

Zhan Tianpeng suddenly spread his arms, pulling Ouyang Jing into his embrace, and said:

"Don’t worry."

"As long as I’m here, no one can harm you."

He then leaned closer to Ouyang Jing’s ear and whispered:

"Even if they aren’t human."

Perhaps it was the masculine energy radiating from Zhan Tianpeng, or perhaps his words full of loyalty and care.

Ouyang Jing’s trembling body gradually calmed down.

Guo Shaojie, seeing this, immediately mimicked and ran to Yuna Yu Na’s side, trying to look manly, saying:

"Nana, don’t be afraid! With me here, nothing can harm you."

But this earned him a disdainful glance from Yu Na:

"Who asked you to protect me."

"You’d better take care of yourself."

Seeing the cool and suave Guo Shaojie getting shut down, everyone burst into laughter.

Zhan Tianpeng could only shake his head helplessly.

At this moment, Mingmen Yue’Er Shangguan Yue approached Zhang Xinying with curiosity and asked:

"Xinying, what are you looking at?"

Zhang Xinying was staring at the direction where the cars had just left.

Upon hearing Shangguan Yue’s words, Zhang Xinying shook her head and said:

"Stick with us later, don’t wander off."

Even though Shangguan Yue was a bit unclear, she still nodded in agreement:

"I don’t know why."

"In previous trips to the Island Country, I never felt this way."

"But coming today, something feels off, but I can’t pinpoint what."

"If you asked me to go back alone now, I wouldn’t dare."

Zhang Xinying did not explain much else:

"That’s good."

Then she took Wang Zixin’s hand and said to everyone:

"Let’s go."

"She’s up ahead."

Everyone looked up at the dark mountains, and exchanged glances.

Xiao He Shen Yanhua couldn’t help teasing:

"Who would have thought that this Miss Kyoko is actually a hidden master."

But as soon as he spoke, Ouyang Hao slapped him on the back of the head:

"She’s not some hidden master."

"Let’s go."

Only then did Shen Yanhua notice that Zhang Xinying and the others had already started making their way up the narrow path.

Shen Yanhua glanced at the desolate surroundings, shivered, and hurried to catch up:

"Hey, wait for me."

At the front of the group, Shangguan Yue couldn’t help but ask curiously:

"Xinying, how do you know she’s here?"

Zhang Xinying had nothing to hide and said directly:

"There’s only this one Tokyo’s Dajisi Temple in the whole He Clan."

...

...

"I’ll go with you!"

Chiba Yuichi looked towards the side of the great hall where a woman, appearing very haggard but still unable to hide her beauty, slowly walked out:

"Miss Kyoko, you really made it hard for us to find you."

Mari Kyoko suddenly dropped the longbow engraved with mysterious runes in her hand to the ground:

"Thud~"

This seemingly simple longbow wasn’t damaged at all.

Instead, it bounced up, spun around, and settled back at Mari Kyoko’s feet.

However, Mari Kyoko’s gaze wasn’t on the longbow, but rather on the dozens of figures gathered in front of the great hall. Her already pale face showed a trace of helplessness and despair:

"If my death can stop you from continuing your evil deeds, then let it all end with me."

Chiba Yuichi, seeing this, showed no compassion, instead sneering:

"Then please, Miss Kyoko, come with us."

"Men."

"Bring Miss Kyoko, we’re leaving!"

As he spoke, four ninjas carried a palanquin to Mari Kyoko’s side:

"Hi"

"Please, Miss Kyoko."

Just then, the old monk who had been sitting silently inside the great hall suddenly appeared outside, his voice resounding like a bell:

"Namo Amitabha!"

Hearing the monk’s voice, Mari Kyoko’s lifted foot suddenly stopped mid-air, then retracted.

She then respectfully turned in the direction of the monk and said:

"Master Jizhen, thank you for your care these days."

"Now that my family has found me, I should return."

"If there has been any offense during this period, I apologize on behalf of my father."

With that, she walked towards the palanquin, supported by a maid.

Chiba Yuichi glared at the monk, his eyes full of malice:

"Jizhen, I advise you not to meddle."

"Up till now, you are the only one who can still stand here after opposing President Yamada’s plan."

Then he waved a matchstick as a threat:

"Unless you want to pay for your stupidity by torching this place as well."

Just a single spark, and this millennium-old temple would instantly be reduced to ashes in flames.

But Chiba Yuichi hadn’t expected this.

The monk never once looked at him.

His seemingly murky eyes remained fixed on Mari Kyoko until she vanished into the palanquin.

Chiba Yuichi, full of caution, signaled to his men:

"Let’s go."

Despite having so many people here, he didn’t know why he was afraid of an old monk who seemed on the brink of death.

As the palanquin was lifted, the monk spoke again.

This time, he spoke to Chiba Yuichi:

"Do you know why I tried to stop you from taking her away?"

Chiba Yuichi was taken aback, then sneered continuously:

"Miss Kyoko is of the yin constitution, could it be that you too have designs on her?"

But the monk merely smiled faintly:

"I did it to save you."

At that moment, the mountain path behind them suddenly echoed with the sound of scattered voices:

"Why haven’t we arrived yet? My legs are about to break."

"There’s not even a streetlight along this entire path, it’s unbelievable."

"It’s already the 22nd century, yet there’s still such a place, how bizarre."

"Alright, alright, stop talking, we’re almost there,"

"I’ll go ahead and scout the path for you all."

But in the next moment:

"Uh~~"

Ouyang Hao, looking at the scene before him, was momentarily stunned:

"So many people... having a meeting?"
