Magic City, a high-end restaurant.
Xu Mo showed up at the VIP private room, complete with a dragon tail.
Stepping into the private room.
Xu Mo was momentarily stunned.
Because the friend Zhang Naixi had recently mentioned meeting.
Xu Mo also knew!
Not only did he know her, but they had a history.
Oh, it was from childhood.
It's worth noting that Yang Jingxuan was never Xu Mo's girlfriend.
She was just a little girl from childhood that Xu Mo loved to tease.
A little girl who always followed Xu Mo around.
"Big Brother Xu, you're finally here. Then, I'll start ordering."
Zhang Naixi said casually.
Her gaze glanced at An Youyi behind Xu Mo.
Then shifted away.
This fierce cousin of his was good in every way.
It's just sometimes that personality is a bit of a headache.
Xu Mo's lips twitched slightly.
【Don't leave Jingxuan out!】
【Cousin, shouldn't you make the effort, pretend to introduce her? Just go through the motions】
【I can't believe I have to remind you of such a small thing!】
【I'm so done with this!】
"Cousin, when did you two meet?"
Xu Mo pretended not to understand.
The righteous female cop and the daughter of a military bigwig knowing each other and becoming good friends.
It's the standard setup, the righteous pairing in the book.
A duo, companions arranged by the author for the protagonist.
It can be understood as the law of attraction.
In the previous life, it was the same, Xu Mo wasn't too surprised.
Zhang Naixi and Yang Jingxuan both were startled.
They understood now why Xu Shi had asked them to be flexible.
And Xu Shi had shown no stress, being very calm.
It turns out this inner voice is a huge flaw!!
Xu Mo thought he knew them, then predicted their predictions.
But they could hear Xu Mo's inner voice.
They predicted the prediction of Xu Mo's predictions!
Xu Mo noticed his character was off, then predicted the prediction of the prediction of their predictions.
Seriously ignoring the inner voice!!
They predicted again------------
Alright!! Enough!!
No infinite nesting!!
"Hmph, we met on the day of your wedding banquet. Any problem with that?" Yang Jingxuan snorted coldly, acting all arrogant.
Staying true to her character.
After confirming the look.
She's still the Yang Jingxuan Xu Mo knew!!
Xu Mo's lips unconsciously raised a trace of a smile, his eyes full of relief.
【Jingxuan is still Jingxuan】
【Still one of the few heroines who hasn't had her character crumble】
【A breath of fresh air!!】
"Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving cash +23333."
"No problem (o´ω`o)و"
Xu Mo suppressed the joy inside, simply replied.
Yang Jingxuan rolled her beautiful eyes.
On her fair forehead, faint veins could be seen protruding.
What do you mean I'm still me?
What do you mean I'm a breath of fresh air?
You want to cut you ---------- so you can't take care of yourself in the future.
You won't even have a place to cry, believe it or not?!
Yang Jingxuan thought about it, while also persuading herself.
Today there's something to ask Xu Mo, so I'll let him off for now.
Be thankful for my magnanimity!!
"Big Brother Xu, what would you like to eat?"
Zhang Naixi asked, trying not to laugh, as she looked at her phone.
In the private room, besides being able to call over the waiter for ordering.
There's also online ordering by scanning a QR code.
Xu Mo isn't too picky about food, as long as it's not something underworld or terribly bad, something that just looking at it feels like a heap of 'clean and hygienic'.
Xu Mo thinks it's all good.
"Just order whatever you want."
Zhang Naixi smiled charmingly. Don't get the wrong idea. This is the smile of a pretty tomboy.
"Alright, I'm not standing on ceremony then."
Even an emperor doesn't starve his soldiers.
With Zhang Naixi’s personality.
She definitely wants to feed Xu Mo full and hearty.
After ordering.
Xu Mo wanted to chat a bit with Zhang Naixi.
Although she's the heroine.
But after all, she's my cousin, isn't she?
And to put it another way.
A little chat wouldn't affect anything.
Thinking of this.
Xu Mo opened his mouth.
Then he suddenly discovered.
He seemed to be unnecessary by now.
Because Zhang Naixi was already chatting enthusiastically with Yang Jingxuan.
Xu Mo could not find an opening!!
The two girls chatted and laughed.
And Xu Mo and An Youyi became the background.
The Dragon Queen is so quiet.
Xu Mo dream kills better.
Not to mention whether Xu Mo could find a common topic.
Even if he found, chatting with An Youyi might not be useful!!
Yang Jingxuan and Zhang Naixi looked at each other.
Felt it was about time.
It was time to go straight to the main point!
“Sister Jingxuan, I heard you're cracking down on a gang of criminals with some recent progress. Mind sharing details?”
Sure! Naixi, I'll tell you how these guys are wicked, utterly rotten, in dirty dealings that can't see the light! They're some organization called Zhongxintang, have you ever heard of it?
"Zhongxintang? A group of societal scum, actually shameless enough to call themselves that? I haven’t heard of it, but recently I heard my grandfather say that some of his friends want to crack down on an organization called Kuangdaotang here in Magic City as well."
"Ah? This place is so chaotic? Quietly it's given birth to these scum organizations?!"
"There’s more, last night at dinner, I heard my grandfather muttering about Zhuque Hall, Qinglong Gate, Zhouhu Hall and those."
The two girls talked one after another.
Their expressions and actions were well played.
Though not enough to amaze.
But to confuse uninformed bystanders, that was more sufficient.
No can do.
Women are natural-born actors.
Take a simple example.
A situation that might tear up brotherhood, boys usually just have a fight, argue, then go out to have some food late at night, drink some wine.
We'll let the matter pass.
But it's different for women.
Something as insignificant as a sesame, a bean.
In a dormitory with only a few girls.
Could film at least fifty episodes, each episode more than one hour long of palace politics drama.
Battling hearts and minds, smiling knives, concealed gossip.
These are basic operations.
Xu Mo originally took out his phone to watch short videos to kill time before the meal arrives.
And Yang Jingxuan and Zhang Naixi’s voices stayed low enough.
Just enough for Xu Mo to heard.
At this time.
Xu Mo was stunned.
Stunned and could not find east from west.
【What the!？！ What's going on here?! How could you two possibly know such names of these gangs at this time?】
【Am I hallucinating? Must be hallucinating!】
【Mad!! You actually want to ambush them?】
【Those are the basic bases for your future husbands! Don't destroy!】
【If you destroy these places, believe me, President Dragon'll cry seriously long in the bathroom: Whimper., You know major sad】
【Pull teeth from a Dragon's mowth, pain cracking you! o(╥﹏╥)o most common responses】
【Luckily you're just talking about names, not knowing addresses, so spared my doom!】
【Resisting Xu's baddies power strong to ensure security for successor!】
"Huh? You’re actually listening, Big Brother Xu? Since you’re listening, then we're dealing with possible patchnote issues. Living in Magic City so long you may have heard word on the bumping gigs rodeo trail for certain backgrounds like Qinglong Gate, Zhouhu Hall, Zhongxintang, Zhuque Hall, Kuang-o-taozhang. Hobe again noticed such background don’t remember sidekicks may peek with grass apart around privates behind them sir."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
