After the "little incident" on the highway where he had not encountered anyone but had lost a large patch of paint on his car, Yu Donglai grew much more solemn while driving.
His somewhat excited feelings returned to its original numb state, as it had been for many years.
Li Tianlan looked absolutely normal, but his thoughts were all over the place. Even he himself did not know what he was thinking about. Even though the weakness brought about by his injuries had slowly stabilized, it did not look good. He had barely traveled half of the journey before his eyelids fought to stay open.
Li Tianlan, who had always been very cautious and seemed to have the natural ability to guard against anyone, did not fight the sleepiness this time. He sat at the passenger seat, clutched at the safety belt and fall deeply asleep.
Yu Donglai looked at Li Tianlan, who seemed to have relaxed entirely, and smiled. He slowed down the car silently, allowing the car to travel wit
Desires of her dream as she tossed and turned. And a little hesitation. To Qin Weibai, Li Tianlan was, without doubt, such a complicated and yet simple state of mind. Before seeing Qin Weibai, Li Tianlan did not know what love at first sight was. But he knew what that was when he saw her emerge from the train at Huating train station. He had told himself then, that she was the most perfect woman. If there was ever a beauty who could cause countries and cities to fall into ruin, or like a beauty who was out of this world, then they would probably look like her. Conversations thousands of miles apart and video calls followed after a day of interaction. Qin Weibai asked Li Tianlan if he missed her. How could he not? He missed her so much, it was as if he had been possessed by the Devil. But other than missing her, what could he do? Was such a woman someone he could possess? Was she someone he could possess in
Li Tianlai held Qin Weibai's soft hands and left the yard of the Yu's Restaurant. The time that followed was alone time with Qin Weibai, which was what Li Tianlan anticipated the most and was most excited about. The little alley was a dozen meters long. The two walked through it silently. Li Tianlan did not speak much usually, but that did not mean that he was not good at making conversation. He opened his mouth a few times but did not know what to say. He could only hold Qin Weibai's hand subconsciously, his palms filled with sweat. "Tianlan, are you very nervous?" Qin Weibai turned to glance at him, her smile was gentle and playful, and somewhat mischievous. This side of Qin Weibai would not be shown to other people. Li Tianlan looked at her dazedly once more. "I'm nervous." Li Tianlan nodded honestly. At their lunch table, Qin Weibai had said she would be his girlfriend. Boyfriend and girlfriend, lovers, and the next step would be
Dongcheng Huangtu! To Li Tianlan, that name sounded completely alien. Though the Dongcheng Clan, a name of great prestige, was one that he was quite familiar with. Never in his life had Li Tianlan laid eyes on anything related to the Dongcheng Clan. And yet, upon his arrival in Huating, he already found himself bombarded with tales of the clan. Numerous people had prattled to him about the Dongcheng Clan, about the colossus that had conquered the entire Zhongyuan Province. And if he were to keep count, then the number times that clan's name had rung across his ears was second only to two other prominent names: the Northern Sea's Wang Family and Kunlun City. From everything he had heard, the Dongcheng Clan was a powerhouse in Zhongzhou's military industry. It was the only clan entitled to represent all corporate giants in Zhongzhou. In fact, many of Zhongzhou's top-secret military enterprises were either directly or indirectly under its control. And not to
The passage of time also meant that their moment of shared proximity would come to an end at some point. And sure enough, Qin Weibai did eventually pull herself away from Li Tianlan's embrace. The moment she left his arms, Qin Weibai went in search for that file she had mentioned before, the same one he had been dying to go through but had refrained himself from doing so out of sheer reluctance to release Qin Weibai from his embrace. The file was awfully thick, and clearly a product of her meticulous and painstaking compilation. From between the covers, a huge stack of A4 papers peeked out. Words crowded those pages in a dense and compact clutter, which was saying an awful lot regarding the level of detail that these documents possessed. The Sky Academy and the Deep-sea Academy are the two most mysterious special warfare academies in Zhongzhou. And a document like this would be a treasure of immeasurable value to any student in Sky Academy. And more so if it somehow fo
When the first tendril of wakefulness reentered Li Tianlan's consciousness, the first thing he noticed was a familiar natural fragrance, which had pervaded his nostrils in an intoxicating manner. Beyond the window, the sun thrived. And even with his eyes closed, the brightness of the sun could be felt. At that, Li Tianlan felt a twinge of disappointment followed by a feeling of reluctance. The night of fantasy and wild passion had ended. And now, a new day had begun. Li Tianlan inhaled deeply as he opened his eyes, all the while making sure to be as quiet as possible. His sight landed upon another pair of eyes, which held two pearlescent gleams in their irises, and were silently observing him. Those were hands down the most beautiful pair of eyes Li Tianlan had ever seen. The soft luster in them contained only the slightest hint of coldness, yet they held not a single modicum of edge or toughness. The eyes are the windows to one's soul. And
Han Yue Palace led a far more obscure existence in Huating, unlike Garden Party, where anyone's identity and status could be represented by a membership card. The history of Han Yue Palace predated Garden Party by many years. During its inception, it had been declared as a public establishment in order to pass the audits. But now, many years later, it had not given out even a single membership card to the outside world. Han Yue Palace had a total acreage of thirty three, so in terms of expanse, it was by no means large. And in most cases, it could even be regarded as a construct of considerable refinement. But due to its lack of expanse, it paled in comparison to other establishments in Huating, that much was without a doubt. Nevertheless, if one were to disregard size, one would truly be able to view the entire place in a new light, where every corner was the epitome of perfection as well as the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Han Yue Palace stood at the southwest c
Li Tianlan was of the opinion that outside the Sky Academy, both Li Baitian and Ning Qiancheng would either be holed up in some flashy, upper-class public establishment the likes of the Garden Party where they would indulge in numerous displays of hedonism, or they would take their cavorting to some other places they deemed passable. After all, such entertainments were undoubtedly affordable to either of them considering their stature and affluence. This was especially true for Li Baitian, who was one of the Four Sword Masters of Mount Shu. Even for a man of his youth, being worthy of that famed sword was sure to grant him considerable seniority among his peers. And with that kind of rank, the guy could pretty much do whatever he wanted in almost any situation. The Sky Academy did not entertain special treatments. But outside the academy, Li Baitian virtually had free reins over his wants and desires. If he wanted a gust of wind or a shower of rain, he could probably g
Everything changed so fast and so weirdly. No one had ever expected that a girl who looked pretty quiet could become so wild and unrestrained in an instant. Seeing this scene, Ning Qiancheng and Li Baitian froze, not to mention Li Tianlan. They had planned to pick up girls, but never did they expect that one of them would be bullied by a girl. Sitting still on the pool table, Li Tianlan took a cigarette with his index finger and middle finger. He failed to react to what had happened quickly. Li Baitian maintained the posture of hitting the ball, and it seemed that he was stunned by all this. There seemed to be some lingering anger on Han Xinyan, who looked gentle and quiet but actually had the demeanor of a sassy girl. She carried the cue and was about to hit Zhang Houlong hard before he could get up. Zhang Houlong, who had long abandoned the idea of struggling, immediately struggled as if he was a pig who was going to be killed while he saw this s
