Chapter 294: Xiaolongnu Arrives, the King's Breath
A passenger plane slowly lands at Changle International Airport.
Two handsome young men and women dressed in low-key clothes walked down the gangway with bags on their backs. Their every move revealed an unusual level of competence as they mixed in the crowd and rushed towards the exit.
The airport staff opened the cargo hold and loaded and unloaded the checked luggage. A breeze blew by, and it seemed as if something was passing by lightly, with a faint pleasant fragrance.
"Whose Dabao is not installed properly and it's leaking?"
He muttered something, entered the cabin and began to move the cargo, completely unaware that an invisible, slender figure behind him paused, half turned around and gave him a death stare.
The figure clenched his fists and snorted coldly. After all, it is said that a great man should not bear grudges, and he continued to stride forward.
At the airport gate, Wan Boqian and Gao Mi hailed a taxi and told the address they were going to.
That’s right, the two of them are the second team of the hunting team that Cheng Shuangfan wants to recruit.
Originally, according to the hunting team's requirements, only Gao Mi could barely meet the passing line. However, these two had met Lu Mingfei before and had fought side by side in Wu Gorge. Lu Mingfei had even saved Gao Mi's life. So, based on the idea of building relationships with acquaintances, Cheng Shuangfan pulled these two assistant commissioners in after he knew about it.
Of course, the two are not completely useless. Wan Boqian's words are from the bloodline, and she is an expert at finding dragons and hybrids.
Gao Mi is smart and her practical ability can stand the test. As long as she is cultivated carefully, she will become a great person in the future.
This time, the hunting target is just a weak pure-blooded dragon, which is even weaker than the Queen of the Night Lilith, so it is perfect for them to practice.
"I heard that Ye Sheng and Ya Ji have been found. I don't know if they can come back to continue their previous mission."
The taxi sped along the highway, and Wan Boqian lowered her voice and whispered to Gao Mi.
"It's difficult. Romance is forbidden in the underwater operation team." Gao Mi shook her head. "I can only change partners."
"What a pity, they are a golden pair."
The driver in the front row had been holding his breath all the way, and only saw the two people in the back whispering side by side. The voices were not loud and it was not clear, but he could only vaguely catch the two key words "love" and "golden partnership". He immediately understood and enthusiastically interrupted:
"Hey, little brother, you are back with your girlfriend to meet your parents, right? I tell you, it's not a good idea to bring that kind of stuff when you first visit someone. You should give cigarettes, alcohol, tea, or Melatonin if that doesn't work."
Gao Mi & Wan Boqian: "..."
The two were silent for a moment. Although, they were still purely compatriots, classmates and colleagues.
"Master, I'm in a hurry, please drive faster." The two looked at each other and did not explain much. They just urged the driver to concentrate on driving and not gossip.
"Hey, you're still embarrassed to get on, what's the big deal, I've given more rides to young couples than you've had meals with."
The driver noticed that the two were not in the mood to talk about sex, and curled his lips in regret that he could not satisfy his gossip, so he turned his attention back to the road.
The two specialists at the back did not communicate any more, but just watched the passing vehicles and the overtaking vehicles silently.
But no one noticed that there was a cloud of gray, translucent smoke hovering on the roof of a box truck behind them, which was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The slender figure following closely behind Wan Boqian and Gao Mi knew their destination. The reason why he did not take a taxi like them was mainly because he was afraid that if there was a change of route, he would have to turn to another road and he would not be able to respond in time. Secondly, he was used to green travel on weekdays. His main purpose was to respond to the country's call, not because he was short of money and could not afford the expensive fare.
It was only after she changed buses more than a dozen times and finally saw the taxi stop in the city center that she could not help but grumble in a low voice:
"How come the people at Kassel College have so much funding? Did they just get all that money from the wind?"
Gao Mi and Wan Boqian naturally had no idea that someone was muttering behind them. They walked into a photo studio with their bags on their backs, went up to the second floor, and found that there were already five people sitting there, led by S-level executive Cheng Shuangfan.
"Welcome, all members of our hunting team have assembled." Cheng Shuangfan stood up and asked several people to introduce themselves to each other. Except for the two young people who had just graduated, the others were veterans who had graduated for a long time.
"Tell me about our goal this time." Cheng Shuangfan pulled over a whiteboard, attached two almost identical ID photos to it with a magnet, pointed at one of the pretty women with raised eyebrows and said:
"Shao Nanyin, a pure-blooded dragon, has been lurking in the human world for twenty-three years. Currently, she is a nightclub manager. She is cunning, smart, and has outstanding acting skills. She is good at playing with people's hearts."
Gao Mi and Wan Boqian were the two with the least experience. Even though they had memorized the information of the target and related people by heart, they still took notes with pens, for fear of missing out on any useful information.
Cheng Shuangfan pointed to another photo: "Shao Nanqin, an orphan, a professional accountant, met Shao Nanyin in an orphanage when she was young, and was deceived by her into thinking that she was her sister and believed it without a doubt. The two have been inseparable for many years."
With Cheng Shuangfan's ability, it is not difficult to capture Shao Nanyin. As long as they cooperate properly, they can complete the capture without hurting anyone on their side.
But the other party is very cunning. She has been lurking in the human world for twenty years, but she has not given up her vigilance against humans, especially the hybrids. The team's early reconnaissance work was not as smooth as expected. She is much more alert than ordinary dragons, and any slight movement can attract her attention.
Moreover, Shao Nanyin lives in an upscale residential area and is almost never alone. She is either accompanied by her sister Shao Nanqin or is hanging out in nightclubs surrounded by celebrities. Rashly arresting her without knowing the strength of her spiritual power is likely to result in accidental casualties.
Pure-blooded dragons are not cats and dogs. When they are violently arrested, their resistance is strong enough to tear ordinary humans into pieces.
"Shao Nanqin has been on blind dates for the past two years. I have left a message on the dating website to attract her attention. I will ask her out to meet in the evening if the situation is suitable."
Cheng Shuangfan planned to complete the arrest in three days, mainly to find out whether there were other dragon figures behind Shao Nanyin. After all, the two of them lived in the city next to Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei's hometown, and Shao Nanyin appeared before Brother Chu came to China to carry out a secret mission. It was hard to say whether she was involved in what happened that year.
"They both have the habit of pretending to be each other to help 'fill in the gap'. Shao Nanyin, in particular, would often pretend to be Shao Nanqin to check if the blind date is sincere."
"Captain, you can arrange an offline date in a place with few people. We can set up a trap to lure you into it." A team member suggested.
Pure-blooded dragons are not super beasts. They have emotions and can feel pain. If tortured, they will be guaranteed to confess every sin they committed in their past life.
"It depends on the situation." Cheng Shuangfan had hunted the dragon girl Lilith before, and knew how cunning pure-blooded dragons were, especially those that were weaker and less good at fighting. If one was not careful, they would be noticed and flee thousands of miles away.
"Let's talk about the task allocation. Old Zhang and Old Li, you two will be in charge..."
On the green tree outside the temporary base, the girl hidden in the shadows listened attentively to the news brought back by the wind demon. The hunting team's plan could not be said to be foolproof, but it could be said to be a bit too cautious.
Such a big fuss just for the last seed fee is really confusing.
After listening briefly and knowing that they would not formally meet until that evening, the girl prepared to leave and revisit the old place.
Meet the transformed Lu Mingfei and see if he has hidden the White King’s dragon bones.
Well, there's another fool who lost his mind.
See if he has any missing limbs when he goes to Japan to join in the fun.
…
In a high-end apartment in the city center, a young woman in home clothes was lying on the sofa, her black hair cascading down and her face looking unhealthy and pale.
Her name is Shao Nanqin, and she is an accountant at a subsidiary of Media Asia Group.
Today is a workday and she should be working like a slave at her workstation.
But unfortunately, her period came today and she was in so much pain just getting out of bed that she was sweating. She had to ask her sister to pretend to be her and go to work.
Accounting is a job that requires very strict work qualities. Just obtaining the certification to work is difficult for countless people. However, her sister dropped out of school early to work and earn money to support her schooling. Logically speaking, it is impossible for her to impersonate her and be qualified for the accountant position.
But Nanyin is a super amazing girl, smart and capable, and there is almost nothing she can't do.
That year, the two sisters received admission letters from 211 universities at the same time, but because they had no money to pay tuition, she settled for the second best and proposed to choose a normal school where there was no tuition fee, and then apply for poverty subsidies and work-study programs to spend her four years in college.
But her younger sister Nanyin said that she had no interest in going to school and was ready to work in a nightclub to support her studies. She tore up the admission letter before her sister expressed her objection.
Shao Nanyin, who was determined to make a desperate effort, brought back 30,000 yuan in cash on her first day of work at the nightclub, and no one took advantage of her in the slightest. After that, she rose from a waitress to a manager in just three years.
When Shao Nanqin graduated and joined Media Asia Group, wanting to work hard to support the family with her sister, the latter took out over a million yuan and bought a house in the city center, saying that this way she wouldn't have to travel too far for work, and the two sisters could still live together forever.
Shao Nanqin was really moved to death.
Therefore, one of her requirements for choosing a partner is that he must live with her sister in the future.
However, she has never been successful in blind dates over the years. Although she is beautiful and has a great figure, because she is a stay-at-home girl who likes to read romance novels, her blind date partners are either indecisive or want to take advantage of her and run away.
But she is not stupid, and she has a smart sister to help her keep watch. Anyone who tries to take advantage of her will be beaten up by Nan Yin.
"Alas, why are there no men who are good-looking, have good personalities, and have moral qualities that are above average?"
Shao Nanqin was lying on the sofa, holding her mobile phone in one hand and chatting with her substitute sister, while rubbing her lower abdomen which was still a little sore from taking ibuprofen with the other hand.
"Yes, sisters, yes, it's just that good men are like limited edition sneakers, they are sold out on the day they are released." The sister's reply was very truthful. Some good men have been booked long ago, so how could they end up going on a blind date on a dating website with a young homebody like her.
"bite--"
The computer notification sound suddenly rang out, and it was particularly crisp in the quiet living room. Shao Nanqin looked up lazily and saw a message from a user named "Cheng Shuangfan" under her blind date post.
When she saw the content clearly, she sat up straight suddenly, temporarily forgetting the pain in her lower abdomen.
"I noticed your profile picture is Xiao Suqian. Do you also like "I Love a Monster"? Let me ask you quietly, do you prefer the male lead and female lead CP, or the male lead and the second female lead CP?"
This message caught Shao Nanqin's attention like a magnet.
She had never thought that someone could recognize that the photo of her avatar came from a romance novel that was not very popular but she particularly liked, and could especially accurately describe the love triangle between the male lead, the female lead, and the second female lead.
This... this is a comrade!
Shao Nanqin instantly felt her weak body filled with strength, and even the pain in her abdomen disappeared without a trace. She got up and replied:
"Of course I support the male lead x female lead CP, they are childhood sweethearts!"
The other party responded quickly: "Then why do you use the picture of the second female lead as your profile picture?"
Shao Nanqin typed back with the speed of a single woman for 25 years: "Of course it's our Su Qian who is beautiful, strong and miserable. She loves so deeply and has given so much for the hero. Even though she has lost her memory and doesn't remember him, she still stands up to help him block the bullet. Who can resist loving her?"
"I was born before you, and you were born when I was old. After all, they didn't meet at the right time. Otherwise, the ending might be different, and she would have her own happiness." Cheng Shuangfan successfully captured Shao Nanqin's favor with one sentence.
She sat in front of the computer and clicked on Cheng Shuangfan's profile a little impatiently. She found that he was a handsome and tall man who looked only one or two years older than her. His daily photos showed him to be sunny, handsome and sporty, and his ID photo, which showed that everyone was equal, was also impeccably handsome.
"Your name sounds so vicissitudes of life. Is it taken from Du Fu's line 'My hair is covered with frost due to hardship and resentment, and I have just put down my cup of muddy wine'?" Shao Nanqin became interested.
"Yes." He replied very quickly, almost without thinking: "Your name is also very nice. Is it taken from Yuan Zhen's 'The zither plays the tune of Nanlü, and the wind is already clear'?"
"I don't know either." Shao Nanqin is an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. She has no idea how her name came about.
While she was chatting with a handsome blind date netizen who was a stranger but very much to her liking, Shao Nanyin, who was filling in at a subsidiary of Media Asia Group, shook her head helplessly after waiting for any new news from her sister.
She knew that her sister would always have severe pain during her menstrual period, and she had just asked her to take painkillers. She must have fallen asleep while playing with her phone.
"Oh, I hope this idiot doesn't sleep on the sofa without a blanket again." Shao Nanyin sighed slightly, feeling that she had not raised a sister, but a daughter who caused her trouble.
"I'd better give her a call later to remind her, so she won't cry again at night."
Thinking of this, she decided to finish the work at hand as soon as possible and go to the lounge.
But the next second, she suddenly felt a palpitation. It was like a memory buried deep in her bones suddenly awakened, causing her to tremble involuntarily.
She seemed to... feel the king's aura.
Shao Nanyin stood up suddenly, his face was pale, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and his eyes under the lenses gradually glowed with golden light.
Cold sweat slid down his forehead, soaking the loose hair at his temples.
She staggered to the window and saw a black Mercedes parked downstairs.
A gray-haired foreigner pushed the door open, but he was not her target.
A man with shaggy eyebrows and wearing a suit came down from the back seat. He seemed to be talking to someone in the car, but suddenly he looked up at the floor where she was, as if he had realized something.
Even at such a long distance, Shao Nanyin could still feel the terrifying pressure in that gaze.
With a "thump", her knees went weak and she couldn't help but fall to the ground, feeling powerless all over.
