Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1225 - 25: Never-Before-Seen Magical Creature
Rumor has it that Yang Songxian married his eighteenth concubine when he was nearly fifty, and there were countless women around him without status.
Whether the rumor is true or not is hard to say, but Yang Chan, who claims to be his son, is indeed quite young.
Although he’s the son of the richest man in Xiangjiang, he doesn’t seem to have benefited much, surprisingly only serving as a welcoming manager at the family hotel’s industry, doing menial tasks like greeting and seeing people off, which is quite undignified.
The Xiangjiang Hotel at the foot of Taiping Mountain, although not as renowned as the hotel on the mountain top, stands equal in service and interior decor, according to future standards, at least a five-star starting point.
This time the check-in procedure was much simpler, with Yang Chan accompanying them throughout, requiring almost no effort.
They are all adults now, not lacking in funds, with each person having their own separate luxury suite.
Only Li Mumu and Xiaodie stayed together, mainly because Xiaodie was quite reclusive, and without Li Mumu’s care, she wouldn’t even eat, just shrinking into a corner dazing out.
Yang Chan strongly insisted on hosting a banquet to welcome Chen Heavenly Monarch, but was rudely refused by Chen Heavenly Monarch.
You don’t even know who I am, why should I eat your meal?
Chen Heavenly Monarch usually shows only a slightly odd personality in Penglai, but becomes much more aloof when out in the world.
It might also be due to irritation from the foreigners, with the fire in his heart yet to be vented.
After tidying up briefly in their respective rooms, everyone gathered at Chen Heavenly Monarch’s place.
Chen Heavenly Monarch held a champagne glass and gazed out the window for a while, then turned to Zhou Heavenly Monarch, saying, "Old Zhou, I’m counting on you."
A phoenix egg has appeared in Xiangjiang; whether it’s a major or minor matter is debatable.
On the lesser side, it’s a private issue concerning Senior Brother Ji Yan, perhaps his past whirlwind romance with a woman led to finding out he has this child...
This is the safest assumption.
Just like meeting a mysterious woman in a bustling area beneath the Twin Towers in a Federation metropolis, covered by a veiled face, pulling you to a corner to whisper "Allahu Akbar."
On the brighter side, she might just be asking for directions.
This possibility cannot be fully ruled out.
But as Chen Heavenly Monarch said to Ji Yan, if they are truly blood-related and you’re unaware, that’s a significant problem.
That indicates something is wrong with the timeline.
In these times, timeline issues might not be news.
Yet, there’s a difference between problems.
Misplacing your ID on a trip is surely not the same as your parents misplacing you on an outing.
Just as dragons do, being the most renowned mythical creatures in ancient Huaxia, phoenixes hold extraordinary symbolism in mysticism.
Li Mumu, not being from the phoenix lineage, has no idea, yet seeing Chen Heavenly Monarch so earnest indicates it isn’t merely for egg-fried rice.
Since it involves timeline issues, her past ability to discern cause and effect has become less reliable.
This is when more senior professionals like Zhou Heavenly Monarch come into play.
Zhou Heavenly Monarch nodded slightly, not saying much, merely giving Ji Yan a deep glance before lightly stomping his right foot.
The entire world abruptly shrank.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding rooms vanished, leaving them under the starry sky, gazing over the whole of Xiangjiang beneath their feet.
The night-lit Xiangjiang was brilliantly resplendent.
This wasn’t a commendatory description, for the brilliance didn’t come from neon lights.
An eerie purple bruise stretched across the city’s skyline, sharp and narrow like a scratch made by a woman’s fingernails.
Beneath the purple bruise, various colors of light vied for attention, reflecting one another.
Since the new government of Ming Country took office three years ago, many prefectural governments and counties within the vast Empire’s territory haven’t been fully controlled by the new government, Xiangjiang being a typical example.
This place is a mix of dragons and snakes, with various powers interwoven. The Special Service Bureau’s branch here is nominal at best, which is why Chen Heavenly Monarch didn’t seek out official agencies first upon arriving in Xiangjiang. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Can’t rely on them.
Zhou Heavenly Monarch’s ten fingers moved slightly, unfolding layer upon layer of silk-like curtains from above the city, as delicate as a cicada’s wings.
"Found it."
"Let’s go!"
Chen Heavenly Monarch uttered "let’s go," and Zhou Heavenly Monarch pressed downward, the world beneath their feet enlarged instantly, and in a flash, they landed in a pitch-dark alley.
Li Mumu looked up to see a shabby, filthy budget motel beside them.
On the third floor, the left window seemed to flicker with faint candlelight.
Almost upon their arrival, an unexpected battle erupted.
Dozens of masked ninjas wielding blades jumped from the roof, surrounding them.
Everyone was bewildered.
"What are they doing?"
Someone whispered in Japanese.
"Eliminate them!"
The ninja leader didn’t hesitate, immediately issuing the order.
Then his head flew out instantly.
"This is yours to handle, I’ll go up with Old Zhou and take a look."
Chen Heavenly Monarch didn’t pay any mind to the wild ninjas that appeared, merely giving a few instructions to his students before heading into the motel with Zhou Heavenly Monarch.
