158: Foreign languages need to be learned
This sentence caused everyone present to focus their gaze on Ling Xian once more.
However, their gazes quickly dispersed.
Chi Taohua, Mo Xueer, and Ling San knew about the relationship between Ling Xian and Xia Mo.
Wei Zhiruo and Zhang Xuelan hadn't had a relationship with Ling Xian yet, so they didn't care either.
Su Ruoxue, on the other hand, walked into the bedroom in a huff, no longer in the mood to argue with Xia Rong.
Xia Rong was triumphant; after all, in her eyes, Su Ruoxue was just Ling Xian's mistress, and she didn't believe Su Ruoxue's status could be higher than her own.
As the princess of the Xia Family, Xia Rong more or less knew about the various dirty dealings within the major families.
Helpless, Ling Xian first prepared a room for Xia Rong.
Interestingly, the room was right next to Su Ruoxue's; it was unclear whether Ling Xian did it on purpose, or on purpose.
"Why don't you stay here for now?"
"Got it, you big pervert. Hurry up and go comfort your mistress," Xia Rong rolled her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Ling Xian shook his head and walked to Su Ruoxue's door, intending to knock.
But before he could act, just as he was about to move...
With a creak, the door opened, and Su Ruoxue pulled Ling Xian into the room.
"Tonight, I'm on top," Su Ruoxue demanded, her anger still lingering.
Ling Xian nodded slightly, still feeling apologetic toward Su Ruoxue.
"Come, I'll teach you a foreign language," Su Ruoxue said, pulling Ling Xian onto the bed.
Foreign languages are good; they must be learned.
Su Ruoxue taught Ling Xian a foreign language; every time he memorized a word, she would give him a reward.
Soon, bursts of laughter echoed from the bedroom.
[Ding! daughter of destiny Su Ruoxue is laughing through her anger, her emotions are soaring. Obtained 666*2 villain points!]
At first, Su Ruoxue insisted on being on top, but she was quickly defeated, and the situation reversed.
[Ding! daughter of destiny Su Ruoxue has fallen into despair, her emotions have collapsed. Obtained 666*3 villain points!]
"In a few days, I'll accompany you to the Su Family in the Magic City," Ling Xian said, holding the drowsy Su Ruoxue.
Hearing this, Su Ruoxue's delicate body trembled, and her beautiful eyes flew open. "For what?"
"To vent your frustrations for you, of course," Ling Xian said calmly.
Su Ruoxue fell silent for a moment, her anger completely dissipating. She said softly, "Thank you."
"Actually, I don't mind you having other women, but you can't neglect me," Su Ruoxue said, looking at Ling Xian with a serious gaze.
Ling Xian nodded and agreed.
The massive commotion disturbed Xia Rong next door.
In fact, the villa's soundproofing was excellent, definitely top-tier, but unfortunately, Ling Xian and Su Ruoxue were making too much noise; even so, some sounds could be heard faintly.
"Big meanie, big meanie! He really betrayed my sister. Hmph!" Xia Rong huffed, picking up a pillow and throwing it hard as if it were Ling Xian.
"With so many women, why did he have to provoke my sister?" The more Xia Rong thought about it, the angrier she got, unable to help but recall Ling Xian's various ambiguous actions toward her today.
"Why did this scumbag provoke me?" Xia Rong muttered to herself. "I, Xia Rong, swear that I will never like Ling Xian in this lifetime, or else I'll be a puppy."
However, she didn't know that one day in the future, she really would turn into a whimpering puppy... Magic City.
Looking at this beautiful, bustling metropolis in the night, Lin Chuan was dazzled.
"After being in the army for so long, the outside world has changed so much?"
Lin Chuan was filled with emotion, feeling even more certain that he wanted to carve out a place for himself here.
As for why he came to the Magic City instead of going to Donghai?
On one hand, the Wen Family was in the Magic City.
On the other hand, Donghai was the lair of that so-called King of the East Sea; wouldn't going there alone be like walking right into his headquarters?
Lin Chuan knew clearly that his strength was at the mid-stage of the Master realm.
Facing another Master who might control the entire Donghai, Lin Chuan wasn't as impulsive as one might imagine.
Of course, the news Lin Chuan currently had about the King of the East Sea was still stuck on the news of Lin Feng's murder.
And he was completely unaware of all the news on the Qianji Pavilion's official website, or rather, he didn't know about the Martial Arts World at all.
Had he known that the King of the East Sea had already broken through to become a Grandmaster, his desire to avenge his brother would have diminished even further.
Walking into the Magic City and seeing many women dressed revealingly, Lin Chuan felt like this place was simply paradise.
One must know that women were too rare in the army.
How does the saying go?
"After three years in the army, even a sow looks like Diao Chan."
Not to mention someone like Lin Chuan, who had been in the army for ten years.
"Although these women aren't as good-looking as Cao Min, they're dressed so revealingly," Lin Chuan thought to himself, inevitably recalling that remarkable woman in the army, Cao Min.
Cao Min was the kind of extraordinary woman who refused to yield to men, eventually becoming his comrade-in-arms.
Because Cao Min's personality was too straightforward and boisterous, lacking any femininity, Lin Chuan didn't have any particular feelings for her.
And Cao Min's heart was set on protecting the country, so she had no feelings for Lin Chuan either, only a bond of comradeship.
Following his memory, Lin Chuan searched for a bookstore on Feiyan Street in the Magic City.
This was a bookstore opened by a comrade-in-arms, and Lin Chuan planned to take refuge with him for the time being.
Although he had gained many benefits in the army and wasn't short on money, the Magic City was still too unfamiliar to him, so it was better to find an acquaintance.
"Shiguang Bookstore, found it."
Walking to a corner deep within Feiyan Street, Lin Chuan finally found the bookstore.
"What was Old Xing thinking, opening a bookstore in such a remote place?" Since he had almost missed the location just now, Lin Chuan couldn't help but complain.
Entering the bookstore, Ling Thirteen, dressed in a grey cloth Taoist robe, was chanting at the door: "The slumbering dragon hides its scales in the Magic City; one day, destiny shall pierce the heavens."
This line was something Ling Thirteen had just made up on the spot to catch Lin Chuan's attention.
At this moment, Lin Chuan's attention was indeed caught by this line. He stopped in his tracks, hiding his miserable and low mood, instantly revealing a confidence he usually didn't have.
"Is the slumbering dragon referring to me? Isn't the Magic City where I'm currently lying low? 'One day, destiny shall pierce the heavens'—holy crap, isn't that my future? Could it be..." Lin Chuan trailed off, piquing Ling Thirteen's curiosity.
"That's right, I'm a fortune teller," Ling Thirteen said excitedly; after waiting for so many days, he had finally found him.
"You're a big fraud."
Ling Thirteen and Lin Chuan spoke different answers at the same time.
"Fraud? You're the fraud! Do you know how long this Celestial Master has been waiting for you?" Ling Thirteen pretended to strike Lin Chuan.
"Hey, hey, hey, I've seen plenty of frauds like you," Lin Chuan dodged the kick and sneered.
"I admit I'm the legendary child of destiny, but I hate people like you who play the charlatan just to swindle money."
"I'm swindling money?" Ling Thirteen felt bitter inside; if it weren't for the Young Master's orders, who would wait in this remote little place for days?
"This Taoist doesn't even care for your pittance. A mere few million, and it's even stored overseas..."
Seeing that Ling Thirteen could roughly state the amount and where it was stored, Lin Chuan lost his earlier composure.
"Who exactly are you?" Lin Chuan asked with a hint of murderous intent, intimidating Ling Thirteen.
"Holy shit, I should have let Ling Fourteen come instead.
Young Master, I can't do this job. This guy actually wants to kill me over a few million. And he calls himself the War God of Southern Border," Ling Thirteen grumbled in his heart, thinking about the next part of the conversation.
