Chapter 713 - 447: Celestial Mandate (2)
Seeing Wang Wu walk in, all three women’s eyes lit up.
"Young Master Wang!"
"You’re finally here!"
The girl on the left in the slip dress was the first to rise, her slender arms wrapping around Wang Wu’s right arm like vines.
The short-haired girl in the backless dress on the right was not to be outdone, her soft body practically pressing against him.
A smile touched Wang Wu’s lips as his fingers naturally came to rest on their slender waists.
The pads of his fingers could clearly feel the warmth of their skin beneath the silk fabric.
Seeing this, the remaining girl with the high ponytail didn’t step forward.
She turned to open the mahogany liquor cabinet, taking out a bottle of red wine and several liqueurs.
Her slender fingers skillfully shook the cocktail shaker, the crystal glass in her hand refracting a mesmerizing halo of light.
"Young Master Wang, try this new cocktail I learned to make."
She poured the mixed drink into the glass, then lowered her head and pressed her red lips to the rim, leaving a clear lipstick print before handing it to Wang Wu.
In the process, as she bent over, the sliver of white at her chest was put on full display for Wang Wu.
Wang Wu accepted the glass.
"A drink mixed by Xiaoyi herself? Then I’ll have to savor it properly..."
He swirled the glass gently, the amber liquid catching the light.
Then he took a sip from the spot on the rim where she had left her lipstick print.
An enraptured expression appeared on his face.
"Exquisite!"
"Young Master Wang, you’re terrible..."
"General Manager Wang, your video conference will begin in thirty-five minutes."
At that moment, the cabin’s smart butler system announced.
"I know!"
Wang Wu frowned.
As a rich heir, he didn’t actually enjoy managing the company.
The only thing he wanted to do was experience and enjoy all that life had to offer.
Unfortunately, as the only son in the family, things didn’t always go his way.
"But hey, thirty-five minutes should be more than enough!"
Wang Wu said with a smile.
His gaze fell upon the three women.
The three women exchanged a look of tacit understanding.
They naturally understood what was about to happen.
After all, to have come to a place like this, they had long since made the necessary mental preparations.
They weren’t resistant to the idea.
After all, the patron before them was famous for his generosity.
For a moment, a faint scent of perfume filled the air, mixing with the smell of alcohol, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise a few degrees.
However, the next second,
a flash of red light shone in from the side porthole.
The entire cabin was dyed an eerie red.
This sudden, bizarre scene shattered the amorous atmosphere.
Their gazes turned to the window.
The sight that met their eyes made them freeze in place.
The once-azure sky was turning blood-red at a visible rate.
Not the soft orange-red of a sunset, but a jarring Crimson, like fresh blood splattered across a canvas.
"What’s going on?"
Seeing this, Wang Wu lost all interest in continuing.
He quickly returned to the pilot’s seat, preparing to change course and head back.
But there was no response. The entire plane was out of his control.
Fortunately, it didn’t crash; it just continued along its original flight path.
"...Air Traffic Control, this is Cloud Wing 001, requesting emergency communication."
The only response, however, was the harsh static in his headset.
"Air Traffic Control, can you hear me? Cloud Wing 001 calling."
Still no response.
Wang Wu’s fingers flew across the control panel, switching channels, but every single one was dead silent.
’Could it be a system failure?’
He frowned.
Just as he was about to initiate emergency procedures, an even more incredible sight appeared outside the porthole.
Countless white points of light drifted down from the blood-red firmament, like the first snow of winter, but far brighter than any snowflake.
At that moment, due to the plane’s altitude, one of the white lights headed toward it.
His face twitched.
’God knows what this thing is, or what will happen if it touches us.’
The problem was, the plane was completely uncontrollable.
It was impossible to dodge even if he wanted to.
Just then, the white point of light was already right in front of him.
Wang Wu watched, wide-eyed, as it passed through the alloy fuselage, entering the cockpit without any resistance.
His pupils contracted sharply. He instinctively recoiled, but there was nowhere to run.
The next moment, the instant the point of light touched his forehead, he saw in the reflection of the side window that the white light had merged directly into his head.
It left only a faint, cool sensation,
as if a patch of snow had just melted on his forehead.
The next second,
a cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his ears.
"Ding! Celestial Destiny System initiating. Binding... Binding complete!"
The next second,
lines of text appeared before his eyes.
The world is in turmoil.
Alien Origin Bodies plague the mortal realm, causing endless suffering to all life.
The Celestial Dao has shown mercy, sending down the Celestial Destiny System to grant all beings a chance to master their own fate.
All who capture and contain Alien Origin Bodies shall receive the blessings of the Celestial Dao.
As the text appeared,
another stream of information flooded his mind.
’A system... Alien Origin Bodies... Don’t tell me I’m the protagonist?’
At this sight, Wang Wu was stunned for a moment before he snapped back to reality.
His heart pounded with excitement.
He was an avid reader of web novels and would even donate to the authors of particularly good ones.
Therefore, he was naturally very familiar with this kind of trope.
However, this feeling of excitement didn’t last long before it was interrupted.
Because he hadn’t properly closed the door to the cockpit earlier,
from behind him, in the main cabin,
the voices of the women suddenly rang out, filled with unconcealed panic.
"Wh-What’s going on?"
"A voice just appeared in my head... It said I’ve been bound to some Celestial Destiny System..."
