Su Xue'er stared intently at An Yi through her glasses.
Although this young man looked like a slacker, it was obvious that he was not an easy person to deal with.
He had a strong aura. Just now, without her glasses on, she had subconsciously mistaken him for Lin Chen!
An Yi's eyes also turned cold.
This girl staring at him like this must have a crush on him.
Oh, women!
Didn't she see the gentle and beautiful young lady beside him?
She didn't stand a chance!
Su Xue'er gave An Yi a cold glance and then stopped paying attention. Carrying a long sniper rifle on her back, she walked through the night market with an air of authority.
Even the pugs passing by were so frightened that they trembled.
That young lady is so cool!
Lan Ruoxi looked at Su Xue'er's back and said enviously.
In fact, girls also like those cool girls very much.
Especially a well - behaved girl like Lan Ruoxi.
That girl is not simple.
An Yi's expression turned slightly cold as he murmured to himself, "It seems that tonight won't be peaceful."
First, he was inexplicably followed, and then this girl carrying a sniper rifle and exuding a murderous aura appeared. The entire night market actually had an atmosphere of unrest.
An Yi, do you feel that someone is following us?
A look of worry appeared on Lan Ruoxi's quiet face, and she couldn't help but look back.
Although she was an ordinary person, she also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
An Yi gently stroked her soft hair and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? Don't scare yourself."
Lan Ruoxi nodded and said with a smile, "Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Ruoxi, it's getting late. I'll take you home first. Otherwise, your aunt will probably be worried again.
An Yi stopped and said with a smile.
Lan Ruoxi nodded obediently. Then, she bit her lower lip and said softly, "An Yi, actually, actually..."
An Yi smiled and said, "What's wrong? You seem a bit strange today."
It's nothing.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Lan Ruoxi took a long breath and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Do you still remember the night when you carried me home from the Law Enforcement Bureau?"
Well, of course.
An Yi nodded and said.
It had only been half a year, how could he forget?
That night, just after returning from the Law Enforcement Bureau, this girl had stupidly waited at the door for seven hours.
However, in the past half - year, it really felt like things had changed.
He had gone from a poor guy in debt of nearly twenty thousand to a wealthy young man worth hundreds of millions. It still seemed a bit unreal when he thought about it now.
I want to know why you were so fierce to me at that time.
Lan Ruoxi asked curiously.
Until now, she still felt a bit wronged.
An Yi scratched his head and said helplessly, "You're a good girl. At that time, I felt like a good - for - nothing, drifting in the wind and rain. I was afraid that I would never be able to give you the stable and happy life you wanted."
I, I've never said or thought about a stable and happy life. Lan Ruoxi said softly.
Maybe.
She had thought about it before, but she didn't think about it anymore.
An Yi shrugged and said, "So, I later realized that there are no good men in this world. Instead of letting someone else bully you, I'd rather do it myself."
Then you're not allowed to bully me in the future.
Lan Ruoxi said with a rare pouty expression.
An Yi smiled but didn't say a word.
He was used to being alone. The feeling of being cared about for the first time was not one of being touched, but of fear.
His name was An Yi (which means peaceful and comfortable), but his life was destined to be anything but peaceful.
Do you know that when you said you were my boyfriend in front of my mom, it felt like there were fireworks going off in my heart. I was really happy.
Lan Ruoxi carefully grabbed An Yi's hand and showed a quiet smile. "Sometimes when I calm down and think about you, I feel that everything is incredibly wonderful."
Looking at Lan Ruoxi, whose eyes were full of him, An Yi wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it.
Lan Ruoxi tightened her grip on An Yi's hand, and her voice was soft.
As long as I can be with you, I don't care about the so - called worldly opinions and prejudices.
An Yi asked in confusion, "What worldly opinions and prejudices?"
Actually, I heard from Brother Ding and the others about Mu Xuan...
Just as Lan Ruoxi was about to speak.
At this time, a black business car came speeding towards them, its headlights on.
Boss!
The horn sounded, and a long - haired man stuck his head out of the window, holding a cigar in his mouth and puffing out clouds of smoke.
It was Ding Renfeng!
Brother Yi! Am I late?
Then, a bald man in the passenger seat of the business car leaned over with a big smile.
It was either Long or Hu.
An Yi looked at the two of them, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile, "Not bad. You've even got a car now."
Ding Renfeng smiled and said, "Hehe, I have to thank the Boss for his wise leadership."
Since the Anjia Company officially started operating, Ding Renfeng, a big guy, actually took up the job of promotion and operation.
Unexpectedly, this guy was actually a talent in this field and was doing very well.
On weekdays, he was responsible for contacting influencers, getting in touch with various online celebrities and live - streaming salespeople, and getting a lot of commissions and dividends.
But this guy seemed to be used to being poor. The car he bought was a very ordinary model, and his clothes were also ordinary, just like his previous hooligan appearance.
But he didn't skimp on the cigars in his mouth. They were genuine Gao Xiba!
You two, protect Ruoxi and take her home. An Yi said in a deep voice.
It was an unstable night, and he wasn't sure if he was being targeted.
After all, the Hundred Ghosts Gate had always wanted to kill him. They had offered a reward of five hundred million before, and who knew what they were offering now.
Long nodded and said, "Brother Yi, don't worry. We won't fail our mission!"
Ding Renfeng, on the other hand, sensed something and said in a deep voice, "Boss, I'll stay here with you!"
In terms of martial arts talent, Ding Renfeng was actually quite good. It was just that he had never had any money or resources and had been groping around on his own, taking many wrong turns on the path of a martial artist.
After a period of hard training recently, under the guidance of Long and Hu, Ding Renfeng's strength had increased greatly, and he was almost at the threshold of Ming Jin.
With this strength, he felt that he wouldn't be a burden anymore.
Long's eyes were serious, and he also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
What are you two dawdling about? Hurry up and take Ruoxi home. An Yi said with a light smile.
Ding Renfeng glanced at Lan Ruoxi and immediately understood what was going on. He quickly said, "Okay!"
Lan Ruoxi looked at An Yi, biting her lower lip and saying, "Then you must be careful."
An Yi said with a light smile, "I'll go home soon. Pay attention to safety."
Yes.
Lan Ruoxi stepped forward, hesitated slightly, and then gently kissed An Yi on the side of his face.
Long's mouth fell open, and Ding Renfeng's cigar fell out of his mouth in surprise.
No way!
The boss and the CEO are together!
Lan Ruoxi got into the car, biting her beautiful teeth lightly. Looking at An Yi, she waved and said, "Good night."
An Yi nodded and watched as the black business car disappeared into the night market street.
He stretched his arms and showed a cold smile. A combat knife slid out of his sleeve.
It's time to get to work!
On the other side of the night market.
Lin Chen was wearing black clothes, blending in with the night sky. He walked out of the corner.
He took out his phone, looked at it repeatedly under the light, frowned slightly, and finally let out a sigh.
The photo is too blurry! I can't see clearly.

saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.
