Chapter 98: Holy Angel & Succubus (1)

When the three of them finally arrived at their villa in the Golden Emperor Complex, it was already past 1 pm.

Every time they returned home from college, Xie Feng practically ran to his room and connected to the game. But this time is different.

Xie Yao, who was going up the stairs with Gu Qianxue, stopped halfway and looked behind her for a moment.

Seeing Xie Feng sitting on the sofa drinking a glass of wine with a thoughtful look on his face, Xie Yao bit her lips lightly and said, "Big brother Xie Feng, you must be careful... You... You know that my life without you would be meaningless, right?".

"Silly girl... Don't worry, okay?. You still don't know me well enough? The person who will suffer won't be me, you know that too, don't you?", replied Xie Feng, lifting his face from the wine that was gently swirling in the glass.

After looking at him directly in the eyes for several seconds, Xie Yao finally smiled like a beautiful flower in spring. She nodded, "I know. I know you are the strongest!".

"Mm, I am the strongest... So, don't worry", said Xie Feng with a chuckle.

"Em".

Xie Yao turned and continued walking towards the second floor together with Gu Qianxue. Both of them were going to connect to the game.

From the 1st floor, Xie Feng heard Gu Qianxue's voice asking Xie Yao where he was going.

Ignoring what was happening on the upper floor, Xie Feng called to Gu Pojun.

"It is strange that you call me first... Although I guess considering what happened today, it's not so strange". After a few seconds, Gu Pojun answered the call.

"Only thirty minutes have passed since then but the news has already reached your ears? As expected from the man with the most authority in China". Although Xie Feng was mocking, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

In order to have intelligence and political control similar to that of Gu Pojun, Xie Feng had to sacrifice many things to obtain it. The price he paid is not at all low, and it is not something that money can pay.

Although no one but Xie Feng and those associated with that arrangement knows this. Not even Gu Pojun is aware of it.

"Stop joking around, you little brat. Knowing you, your face should not be smiling right now".

At Gu Pojun's words, Xie Feng turned the crystal glass slightly in his hand and saw in the reflection that, on his face, there was a smile. Therefore, he said, "No no no, I am really smiling right now. I swear on Xie Yao".

A smile full of killer intentions, that is.

"So, what are you going to do?". After a moment of silence, Gu Pojun asked.

"Not much. The reason I called you was mainly to let you know that the Nangong family will probably soon become quite turbulent. You can take that opportunity to take care of you-know-what", Xie Feng said as he stood up.

Gu Pojun was silent for a moment. Then, in a hesitant voice, he advised, "Xie Feng, apparently my daughter is very attached to you. Let me advise you on that basis... Don't underestimate the power of the 5 Main Families. There are many things that you do not know".

Xie Feng looked out the window, the sky was covered with gray clouds. "I never underestimate anyone. Not even a little rabbit... But I don't underestimate myself either!".

Hearing Xie Feng's confident tone, Gu Pojun breathed a sigh, "Then it's okay. Just know that, after what you'll do today, you'll probably have to face a big problem.

"Thank you for your advice". After these words, Xie Feng cut the call.

With both hands inside his jeans pockets, Xie Feng appreciated the gray sky, with no sign of the sun, and he murmured: "What a beautiful day".

A few minutes later, a text message was sent to his cell phone.

"Nangong Chen will visit Changxi City, Laoshan Highway, street car race, 9:30 pm".

Xie Feng read the message aloud to himself. When he finished, with a smile that was not a smile, he started to hum an unknown song as he walked upstairs.

"There are still a few hours to go, let's continue playing in the meantime".

[Welcome to Samsara Online. Hope you have a happy reincarnation!]

Xie Feng looked around, and only then did he remember that when he was disconnected from the game, he was in a small town.

The small town was south of Eternal Wind City, even further from Eminentis City. It is unnecessary to say that none of the players had reached this place yet.

Unlike the main cities like Eminentis City or secondary cities like Eternal Wind City, this small town called The Expanding Spire, did not have big stone walls, and did not have a lot of soldiers.

This is something that caught Xie Feng's attention since the small town was among monster territories beyond level 30.

So, while walking the streets of the town and while enjoying the atmosphere, Xie Feng decided to get some information about the surroundings of the town. After all, he has no idea what awaits him later on.

After walking around the site, he approached a tavern that seemed to be quite famous as many people came and went constantly.

Unlike what one would expect after watching so many American movies, the interior of the tavern was not dirty, the people were not extremely loud, nor were there any corpulent men laughing out loud and drinking alcohol. In truth, it was a place similar to a coffee shop in the real world, but people chatted more freely with each other. This is probably because they all know each other.

Xie Feng looked for a table with an outside view and sat down. While waiting patiently, he removed the mask 'Two Faces' that covered his face, as the passive Divine Appearance option of the Ring of the God of Destruction might be a bit of help to get additional information.

Just a minute after his arrival, a very pretty waitress approached his table. She had two pigtails on either side of her head, brown hair, and... About 9 years old.

'Great, here goes my plan to try to use my appearance to get information'. Xie Feng thought.

The pretty girl smiled beautifully, like a little angel, and introduced herself: "Welcome to the 'Dragon Illumination Tavern'. My name is Ma Lili. Is there anything you would like to drink or eat?".

Xie Feng lifted her face and smiled back at the little girl: "Hello, you are a pretty girl just like your name, Ma Lili. My name is Shiva... Actually, I'd like to have a drink while I ask you some questions, I don't know if that's okay?".

[Ding!... Ma Lili's favorable impression towards you +20]

"Older brother Shiva, you really are very handsome!", the innocent girl covered her little mouth with both hands. Suddenly, she looked around as if she were worried about something: "Quick, quick! You need to cover your face!"

Confused and unaware of what was happening, Xie Feng covered his face again. "Ma Lili, is something bad happening," he asked.

Seeing him cover his face with a mask, the little girl patted her still nonexistent chest and sighed with relief: "Lucky my mom didn't see you. Recently she and my dad have been a bit distant. If my mom sees you, she will definitely want to make you her new husband and my dad will be sad!".

Xie Feng was stunned by Ma Lili's explanation.

With a forced smile under his mask, Xie Feng assured her, "Don't worry. I'm sure your mom and dad love each other very much. Soon they will be back together as always. Adults often fight with each other, but these are only childish fights. Didn't you know? Sometimes even adults behave like little kids".

"Uh? Is that true!?". Ma Lili said as her little eyes sparkled with hope.

Xie Feng nodded, "Of course it's true. Just wait and see that my words come true".

Ma Lili placed both hands in front of her chest as if praying, and she whispered: "Let the Goddess of Creation and the almighty Light Saint Dragon hear your words. I really want my parents to be happy".

Beneath the mask, a confused and curious look appeared momentarily on Xie Feng's face. He understands why Ma Lili mentioned the Goddess of Creation, after all, the Goddess of Creation was the guardian of the Adastreia Continent. Even if she disappeared for several thousand years, that does not change even now.

But Xie Feng does not understand why the little girl in front of him mentioned one of the most powerful beasts in the whole world Samsara.

"Ma Lili, why do you suddenly mention to the Light Saint Dragon?". Xie Feng asked.

Ma Lili looked at him as if she were looking at an alien and said with clear surprise: "Older brother Shiva, don't you know? The Sacred Sanctuary in which the Light Saint Dragon rests is a few days away from this town. Thanks to Lord Light Saint Dragon, the monsters of the vicinity never attack the town or the people of the surrounding area!".

A look of realization flashed in Xie Feng's eyes.

Now he understood the reason why this remote town was safe even with so limited security, and people could smile comfortably without worrying about being attacked.

Because of the terrifying aura surrounding the body of the Light Saint Dragon, the monsters that are several kilometers from it do not dare to behave too wildly.
