At the last possible mont, Lin Tang descended from the sky. The spreading flas of the explosion were pressed down by his palm and forcefully contained, turning into a dud!
WHOOSH!
The flying sword transford into threads, entangling all those carrying rocket launchers and instantly decapitating them. The flying sword continued its reaping, eliminating all their accomplices. The entire process took less than a second.
Martial Saint No. 7, carrying the deford car, returned to the highway. After glancing at Lin Tang, he jumped off the cliff and disappeared.
Am I still alive? Shen Youling was stunned for a mont before she regained her senses. She looked toward Lin Tang, who was not far away. The… the Dragon King?
The driver was still screaming, crying out that he'd already seen his ancestors.
Shen Youling had been through many dangerous situations before, so she quickly cald down. Getting out of the car, she stepped forward. "Thank you, Dragon King, for your tily rescue. That other expert who saved us… do you know him?"
She rembered that this person had now saved her three tis. The second ti, he had been possessed by a shadow and had nearly killed her. Afterward, she had asked Zhu Yingning and Mo Pinglan how she had survived and what had beco of the possessed man, but they had told her nothing.
"He is the Martial Saint sent by the Langhuan Holy Land. I subdued him, and now he is my subordinate," Lin Tang said casually.
"What?" Shen Youling's expression was strange. His subordinate? And he sent him to secretly protect , over and over again? What does that even an?
"Dragon King…" Shen Youling lowered her head and bit her lip. "I thank you for repeatedly saving my life, but I really cannot be your woman."
"Pfft—" Lin Tang almost burst out laughing. She's really full of herself. Well, it's normal for her to think that, considering I once said I wanted to marry her when I was using the identity of Long Tianji.
"Why not? As far as I know, you've already signed the divorce agreent with Lin Tang."
"You even know about that?" Shen Youling was astonished again, a chill running through her heart. She felt as if the Dragon King was constantly watching her.
"Of course. Your adoptive father was only able to recover his martial arts thanks to my help," Lin Tang said teasingly. "He was extrely grateful to and even said he wanted to give you to again."
Shen Youling fell silent, her heart filled with worry, not knowing what to do. With Lin Tang in prison, if Xiao Xuanye forced her to marry Long Tianji, she would still be powerless to resist.
Since there is an opportunity to beco powerful, I must seize it, even if there are unpredictable dangers! I have to go to Fengqi Mountain! Shen Youling had already made up her mind.
She knew the driver had t with such misfortune because of her. He had survived, but his psyche was severely traumatized, and his car was destroyed. So, she called Mo Pinglan, hoping for an advance on her salary to compensate the driver.
When Mo Pinglan learned that Shen Youling had nearly been in an accident, she was shocked. Shen Youling was the Master's most precious treasure. If anything had happened to her, how furious would the Master be? Not daring to delay, Mo Pinglan imdiately brought a group of people to the scene to collect the bodies and investigate their identities.
Lin Tang also had Xiao Xuanye dispatch n to follow up on the investigation. If it turned out to be the underhanded work of the Night King, Wen Dingchen, Lin Tang wouldn't mind making sure he never saw the next day's sun.
In the end, the investigation revealed that the assassins ca from the Sandalwood Association of the Arin Nation. They had been sent by Jian Hansheng, who was simply trying to annex Tianxiang Cardamom…
The world's top hypnotherapist, Angry? I'd like to see just how you hypnotize people! Lin Tang sneered.
He flew around Jiangbei and its surroundings, scanning with his Divine Sense, but found no trace of the man. It seed he had already fled far away.
In that case, ti to find Jian Hansheng directly!
Jian Hansheng was currently on the opposite side of the planet, but for Lin Tang, who could fly, this wasn't a problem.
At night, as he was soaring through the clouds, he happened upon an airplane, a convenient place to lie down and rest his feet. A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed so of his fellow Central Earth compatriots chatting inside. He learned that this was a flight to the Arin Nation. With that, Lin Tang settled in for a long nap.
Before that, his Communication Talisman stirred, and Wei Zichu's affectionate voice ca through. "Uncle Dragon, why haven't you co back to sleep yet?"
Having just been introduced to *that*, she was already getting addicted.
Lin Tang was speechless. "Can you be a little more reserved? I'm on my way to the Arin Nation right now. I won't be back until tomorrow or the day after."
"Ah? In that case, please be careful. That place is notorious for its zero-dollar shopping sprees."
"Wait, I need to be careful? Fine, I'll try my best not to go into any stores."
"And the won over there are particularly unreliable. Don't you get involved with any of them, you hear?"
"..."
The speaker may not have intended it, but the listener took it to heart. Upon learning that Lin Tang was headed for the Arin Nation, Ning Yuexi discreetly made an excuse about needing to find her apprentice, Chen Yuyan, for sothing and said she wouldn't be coming over to sleep that night.
Wei Zichu didn't think much of it and let her go, not bothering to inform Lin Tang. As soon as Ning Yuexi left, she imdiately set off overnight for the Heavenly Mountain Range.
At the sa ti, after finding the location of Fengqi Mountain online, Shen Youling also set out on her own. She worried that if she hesitated any longer, Xiao Xuanye would send n to take her away and arrange her marriage, or that Long Tianji would force himself on her.
Although Martial Saint No. 7 was secretly following her, unless Lin Tang made a conscious effort to sense him, he wouldn't know what was happening on her end.
「The next day. Hawaii.」
The sun was brilliant, and heatwaves rolled across the tarmac. Lin Tang had just sauntered out of the airport when he saw a group of his fellow Central Earth compatriots swarming toward him.
What the...? Isn't this the Arin Nation? Why are there so many Asian faces? Don't tell the plane turned around last night and flew back to our country?
Upon listening more closely, he finally understood. It turned out that a celebrity from Central Earth was here to attend an event. These were all fans who had co to the airport just to catch a glimpse of her. The plane the celebrity had taken was, in fact, the one Lin Tang had hitched a ride on all night.
Lin Tang turned around and saw a tall figure in sunglasses moving quickly, surrounded by several bodyguards.
"Aaaah, An Jinan! Anan, Anan, look over here!"
"Anan is finally out! She's even more beautiful in person than in videos!"
"Anan, you're so thin! You're too thin! You need to eat more!"
"Can I have an autograph, Anan…"
The fans scread with excitent and rushed forward.
Seeing this, Lin Tang smiled faintly. He rembered that ti he was ssing around with Lee Encai on the street and had also encountered a celebrity with bodyguards clearing the way. That celebrity… wasn't it this very woman? What a coincidence.
Looking at these clamoring fans, An Jinan felt a wave of annoyance. Still, she took off her sunglasses, put on a practiced smile, and prepared to placate them.
Suddenly, she froze, her eyes fixed on Lin Tang. The next mont, she urgently ordered her bodyguards to hold back the fans. Then, throwing her image to the wind, she kicked off her high heels and ran toward Lin Tang.
"Huh—"
"What's wrong with Anan?"
"Who is that man? Why is she so excited to see him?"
"Could that be her dad?"
"Nonsense, photos of her dad were exposed long ago. He looks nothing like that."
The fans were bewildered and extrely curious.
"Excuse , sir, please wait," An Jinan said, panting as she caught up to Lin Tang. She asked tentatively, "Are you… are you Long Tianji, the Dragon King?"
"Oh? You know ?" Lin Tang raised an eyebrow.
"It really is you! Oh my gosh, I'm so honored! I never thought I would et you here!" An Jinan's face lit up with joy, her shoulders trembling with excitent. She quickly straightened her appearance and said in a coquettish voice, "Actually, I also signed up for that consort selection…"
"Is that so? Then why didn't I see you there?"
"Ahem, well, I don't know why, but we were suddenly inford that all celebrities had been disqualified from participating."
"Oh, right, I rember now. It was who had them remove all the celebrities."
"Uh..." An Jinan choked on her words. Seeing Lin Tang continue to walk away, she refused to give up. She followed him step by step, mustering her courage to ask, "Could you tell why? Although many people are prejudiced against celebrities, I assure you, I am very chaste…"
"You're a bit strange. What does your chastity have to do with ? I was just jealous of how easily you celebrities make money, so my sense of fairness was offended. I'll be blunt: I resent the rich."
"Huh?!" An Jinan's expression finally crumbled completely. I never would have imagined that the mighty Dragon King would actually… actually… resent the rich! For a great figure like him, isn't getting a pile of money as easy as waving his hand?
While she was still in a daze, her assistant and manager caught up. The manager, checking his watch, urged her impatiently, saying that a certain famous international director had already started the next round of auditions. They had to get there imdiately and couldn't be late. This was a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity to break into the international film market.
Originally, An Jinan had placed great importance on this audition, but now she had run into Long Tianji…
This is a monuntal opportunity from the heavens, one I absolutely cannot miss! To hell with that damn audition! An Jinan gritted her teeth. "I have sothing extrely important to do. None of you are to follow !"
After dropping that line, she started running again. To move more easily, she ripped off the long train of her beautiful evening gown, revealing her smooth calves.
"Dragon King, please wait for ! My foreign language skills are excellent. I can be your guide and translator. Please, give a chance!" she pleaded, scurrying after Lin Tang.
This scene left her manager and the others completely bewildered. The fans, who hadn't heard her conversation with Lin Tang, were even more shocked, unable to understand why their beloved superstar was so desperately trying to curry favor with a middle-aged man who was giving her the cold shoulder.
"Be my guide? Are you sure? Don't regret it later," Lin Tang said with a smile, his eyes sweeping over her shapely figure.
An Jinan deliberately pushed out her chest, not minding his gaze in the slightest. Her face was set with determination. "I will never regret it!"
"Alright then. I'll give you an address, you take there." Lin Tang didn't mind either way. Xiao Xuanye had already told him where the Sandalwood Association's headquarters were.
The two hailed a taxi and headed over.
「Sandalwood Association Headquarters.」
SLAP!
A resounding slap landed on Jian Hansheng's face. The Chairman, who was also his father, Jian Heting, had an ashen face. "You worthless whelp! Who told you to be so rash as to be the one to stick your neck out and target the Tianxiang Cardamom company? Now that we've lost so many n, are you satisfied?"
Jian Hansheng felt wronged and unconvinced. "How was I supposed to know that a re costics company had such a terrifying expert behind it? But it's no big deal, right? This is the Arin Nation, after all. No matter how strong that expert is, he can't do anything to us here… Didn't you say a Holy Envoy from Skull Holy Mountain will be visiting us soon? Why don't we ask him to help us take care of them?"
Jian Heting kicked him again. "Do you think asking the Holy Envoy to act cos without a price? He doesn't want money! He wants our Sandalwood Association's most important treasure! You prodigal son! If I wasn't about to go welco the Holy Envoy, I'd convene the hall and enforce the association's rules on you! Now get to the ancestral hall and kneel before the tablets of our founders to reflect on your transgressions!"
"Fine, I'm going!" Jian Hansheng retorted stubbornly.
