Chapter 494: Heading South as Xiao Chunan
The couples’ hotel.
After another round, Jiang Xinghai and Feng Lulu were finally fast asleep, cuddled together.
Next door, in Room 507.
After returning and washing up, Leng Ning lay on the large, soft bed, killing time.
There was only half an hour left until midnight.
Jiang Xinghai had repeatedly promised he would come to her after midnight.
But to Leng Ning, this incredibly short half-hour felt like an eternity.
’Where on earth did he go?’
Leng Ning, wearing a light blue nightgown, got up, opened a bottle of liquor, and stood by the window.
The nights in the Provincial City were much more beautiful than in Central State.
Besides, in a major metropolis like this, midnight was just the beginning of the nightlife.
VROOM! VROOM!
On the road below, a few young men and women on motorcycles sped past like lunatics.
Many more were weaving back and forth, performing stunts on their bikes.
Leng Ning took a sip of her drink, her brow furrowing slightly. ’It’s great to be young and free. But if these kids keep this up without any restraint, it’s going to be a problem. They’re being a public nuisance, revving their engines all over the street.’
The main issue was that the couples’ hotel was right next to a wide road, which was also adjacent to a large karaoke bar, so there was a lot of traffic.
’Forget it. I’ll give you ten minutes. If you’re not gone by then, I don’t mind sending you on your way myself.’
Leng Ning had no desire for her intimate moments with Jiang Xinghai to be disturbed by the racket from the street.
And it was the sound of the motorcycle engines that woke Jiang Xinghai in Room 505 next door.
Seeing the time, he got out of bed, left Feng Lulu a note saying he had to leave, and headed for the bathroom.
’Since I promised Leng Ning, there’s no reason to stand her up.’
’Besides, I cultivate the Dragon Locking Secret Technique. The more women I have, the more I benefit.’
’For every reason, I have to go.’
’Besides, it’s not far. Just next door.’
"Are... are these all thongs?"
Jiang Xinghai walked into the bathroom and saw that Feng Lulu had washed all the clothes she’d bought for him and left them in the dryer. Four pairs of underwear... all of them were thongs!
With no other choice, he put a pair on.
They were extra-large, but he still found them a bit restrictive. Still, he couldn’t just go commando, could he?
He put on the woodland-style outdoor clothes Feng Lulu had bought for him, slung a shoulder bag on, and walked out the door.
Then, he turned and rang the doorbell for Room 507.
From dozens of meters away, Leng Ning had simply unleashed a wave of energy, scaring off the noisy youths on the street.
She was just about to lie back down on the bed to wait when she heard the doorbell, and her face instantly lit up.
"You’re right on time."
"I’m rarely late, am I?"
Gazing at each other, they both broke into a grin.
Then, they embraced, starting right at the doorway.
After engagements on the sofa, the desk, and other locations, they finally converged on the large bed...
「The next morning.」
When they woke up, a single knowing glance was all it took before they entered battle once more.
If both of their flights hadn’t been at nine in the morning, they probably would have battled on for another hour.
After breakfast, the two of them drove straight to the airport.
That night, Jiang Xinghai had benefited greatly.
Both Feng Lulu and Leng Ning had given him entirely new experiences.
On the way, Leng Ning recounted what had happened at the Sun Family’s residence the previous night.
Jiang Xinghai listened, then just smiled at Leng Ning and asked, "Will you be back in seven days?"
"Probably not."
Leng Ning shook her head and pointed to the trunk. "After all, I have to return to the Imperial City with my ’grievous injuries.’ I’ve even got a wheelchair ready."
"If you don’t come back, doesn’t that mean giving up one billion of the two-billion bounty?" Jiang Xinghai asked, feigning regret.
"Are you really that interested in my money?" Leng Ning gave a wry smile.
"Just kidding."
Jiang Xinghai’s goal was clear. He wanted to make the Sun Family cough up all their assets.
’How could a mere two billion possibly demonstrate the Sun Family’s sincerity?’
"We’re almost at the airport. It’s about time I used that Bone Shifting and Muscle Separation Disguise Technique you taught me. When the time comes, I’ll need you to see me to my gate," Leng Ning said, looking at Jiang Xinghai with reluctance.
"I should change back into Little Chef, too." Jiang Xinghai didn’t let much emotion show. ’The pain of parting is hard to put into words.’
"Wrong. You mean Xiao Chunan," Leng Ning corrected with a smile.
After they arrived at the airport parking garage, they both performed their Disguise Technique.
Jiang Xinghai pushed Leng Ning in her wheelchair into the departures hall.
Leng Ning’s face was bruised, her right arm was twisted into an almost pretzel-like shape, her legs were broken, and her bandages were seeping blood...
All in all, it was a gruesome sight.
Of course, this was all an illusion created by the Bone Shifting and Muscle Separation Disguise Technique.
Half an hour later, they parted ways.
Leng Ning boarded her flight to the Imperial City.
Jiang Xinghai, in his guise as "Xiao Chunan," boarded a flight to Yun Province.
His main objective on this trip was to capture the traitor, Arhat!
And through him, find his parents’ whereabouts!
His secondary objective was to help Yu Li find Qiao Sihai, which would, in turn, help her remove the Poisonous Gu from her body!
