The paranormalists from Death Coffin seemed to have picked a fight with him.
Last night five came, early this morning another ten came.
When will this end?
It was clearly Zhou Quan who killed Duke with Thousand Faces, yet Death Coffin's people had set their sights on him instead.
Do they think I'm a pushover?
Was killing Ji Tong the Iron Sparrow, one of the Ten Generals, not enough last night?
Do they need me to kill a Coffin Lord to make Death Coffin's people learn their lesson?
Yan Dongxu felt a little annoyed. All he wanted now was to live a normal life.
Yet there were always people who wanted to take his life...
After Uncle De received the call, he said he would come over very soon.
Upon receiving the news, Du Sen immediately assembled his squad members to head over to Yan Dongxu's residence.
"What's going on? Did something happen?" Xu Lu was woken up and asked with her aching head in her hands.
Du Sen replied, "There's danger at Yan Dongxu's side. I'm taking my men over there to take a look. Don't worry about him. We'll be there."
"Also, remember to lock the door when you leave. There's food in the fridge, eat something before you go."
After instructing her, Du Sen left with his squad members without another word.
Xu Lu stood woodenly in place and started to worry.
If it was enough to alarm Du Sen, then the danger Yan Dongxu faced must be no trivial matter.
Although Xu Lu was anxious at heart, she couldn't be of much help.
She wanted to give Yan Dongxu a call to ask, but she just couldn't press the dial button.
After much hesitation, she figured it was better not to disturb Yan Dongxu at this time.
But she sent Yan Dongxu a message to express her concern, and received a quick reply.
【I'm fine, don't worry. I heard you drank too much last night? Don't drink so much in the future.】
Seeing Yan Dongxu's reply, Xu Lu couldn't help but reveal a silly smile.
"You jerk, you're in danger yet you still have time to worry about me."
She mumbled to herself, didn't reply to the message, put down her phone to wash her face, didn't eat breakfast and left the villa area where Du Sen's squad was located.
Around ten minutes later, Uncle De arrived first.
When Yan Dongxu saw this old man, he felt uneasy inside.
Uncle De was no ordinary ruthless man, he belonged to the kill-without-blinking type.
Recalling Uncle De's means from last night, even now it still sent great shocks through Yan Dongxu's heart whenever he thought about it.
He made a mental note to try and learn a thing or two from Uncle De when there was a chance.
Although he now had the space paranormal ability that rendered killing techniques almost useless, there was a saying that went "there is no harm in learning more skills".
One could never predict when they might come in greatly handy someday.
"There is no need to panic. I killed Ji Tong the Iron Sparrow, one of the Ten Generals from Death Coffin, last night. The news has not spread yet."
"I reckon the ten people who came today were here to look for Ji Tong and his gang." Uncle De said lightly with his hands behind his back.
"Oh? Does Uncle De mean they did not come for me?" Yan Dongxu's brows raised. He felt Uncle De's reasoning made sense.
"Right, there's a seventy percent chance they did not come for you." Uncle De replied.
"Since that's the case, I'll start a livestream. My audience must be missing me."
Yan Dongxu took out his phone, preparing to start livestreaming.
Uncle De: "......"
Zhao Qingqing: "......"
"You really have thick skin! At a time like this and you're still thinking of livestreaming! Is work all you have on your mind?"
Zhao Qingqing rolled her eyes. Sometimes she really didn't understand how Yan Dongxu thought.
"You speak as if Death Coffin's paranormalists came and I could actually do anything. Can't beat them, can't escape them, all I can do is sit here waiting to die."
"If Uncle De and Du Sen can't protect me, then I'll just die. Might as well do whatever I still can at this moment."
Yan Dongxu went all out with his useless persona act, not wanting anyone to know he had awakened the space paranormal ability.
It would ultimately be beneficial for him to keep up this pretense and conceal his strength.
"Rest assured. As long as it's not one of the Ten Generals, I can protect you all." Uncle De's words gave everyone some peace of mind.
After what went down last night, Uncle De was in a good mood. After all, he had avenged his son at long last, and now there was nothing left in this lifetime that he regretted or was concerned about.
Yan Dongxu started his livestream. His punctually waiting audience immediately filled the bullet screen comments.
【You're late again.】
【When can you ever be on time for once? 】
【That's right. We all want to see the scene of a beauty instantly moving onto your bed.】
【Enough nonsense, who is the beauty that instant moved here today?】
【You're late for so long, she must be a real stunner.】
【Yan Dongxu's sister is getting a little belly.】
【Xinran darling, your brother will wait for you to grow up. 】
......
"Today's instant beauty is none other than...let me show you and you'll know."
Yan Dongxu turned the camera towards Yan Xinran.
The little girl was very photogenic and even greeted everyone.
"Hello everyone, remember to send gifts!"
Yan Dongxu was rendered speechless. He thought to himself Yan Xinran was indeed his sister, figuring out how to make money without him even needing to teach her.
【???】
【????】
【Are you kidding me, Xinran darling instant moved onto your bed today?】
【Hahaha, what a cute little money-grubber.】
【You beast, even your sister you don't spare.】
【Hasn't seen Xinran for a few days and she's already gotten fatter.】
【Xinran sweetie, your brother will wait till you grow up.】
......
"You bunch of perverts, ogling even my sister?"
Yan Dongxu's eyelid kept twitching as he saw this shameless bunch whom even he couldn't match.
Just horsing around as they were, the audience really showered gifts the moment Yan Xinran spoke.
Within minutes, the total worth of gifts Yan Dongxu received had caught up to the average person's monthly salary.
"Little Xinran, you've got more clout than your brother."
Yan Dongxu sighed at his own inferiority.
"Stop sending anymore, just a token will do. Why waste your money like this?"
【Waste money? These are bridal gifts!】
【That's right, giving you the bridal gift early. Raise our wife well!】
【Get Xinran only the best stuff. We've got money!】
【If she lacks anything just tell us. Don't stand on ceremony with us big brother-in-law.】
【Seeing how good you look now, our wife's genes can't turn out too bad either. She's bound to have fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs.】
......
The audience went wild with their teasing, instantly maxing out the entertainment value of the stream.
Yan Dongxu was at a complete loss over what to say, because he really disliked joking around using his own sister.
The awkward chat lasted half an hour. Without any new beauties today and nothing much worth watching, he suggested ending the stream. The audience didn't have much objection either and readily agreed.
It was past eight anyway, time for most of them to get to work.
During the livestream, Du Sen and his men had arrived too. But they did not disturb him.
"Boss, with so many people here I'm of no use. How about I head back first to send the testing device to the tech department for repairs?"
"If they work fast enough I can get it fixed by this afternoon. Then we can test him again." Lin Xia whispered.
Seeing Yan Dongxu relaxing nonchalantly on the sofa, a trace of meaningful smile crept up the corners of Du Sen's mouth.
"No need to repair the device first. Even if fixed, no need to test anymore. Yan Dongxu has not awakened any abilities. Don't ever bring up this matter with anyone else in the future."
Lin Xia frowned. "But boss, he's still the most suspicious."
Du Sen glanced back sharply at Lin Xia, "Not listening to me anymore? Remember this. From now on, don't disturb Yan Dongxu. Block any other squads trying to contact him!"
"Ye...yes..."
