It had been half a year since Tang Ling became a Dream Seed.
After leaving Safety Sector No. 17, Tang Ling did not travel far and met many people, but he did cross half of the Herrocky Mountain Ridge and ran into a lot of people from the Stardust Council who hunted him down.
He had seen many Purple Moon Warriors and young geniuses like Young Master Long and Draconic Seven.
However, he had never run into a Dream Seed!
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling was worried that his identity as a Dream Seed would be the only flaw in his disguise.
No matter how he disguised himself, if the other party was a Dream Seed, they would know that he was a Dream Seed as well.
As Dream Seeds, they would definitely understand the meaning of being a Dream Seed, and he would not be able to hide in the crowd anymore.
Just like the man's gaze, it was probing without any intention of hiding.
Tang Ling did not want to cause more trouble, so he pretended like nothing was wrong and continued forward. However, his eyes would glance over the man lying on the stairs from time to time.
The man looked like a carefree and unrestrained man.
Instead of saying that he was lying on the stairs, it would be more accurate to say that he was leaning on the stairs. One of his legs was simply dangling while the other was tucked away. He seemed to be very comfortable.
It was a winter morning, so the sun was not scorching. It felt warm and comfortable when it shone on the body.
Only the climate of the seaside could not be considered cold during the winter.
Why did the man come here to sunbathe? It was because of a pot of wine and a pile of crispy rice beside his feet.
The wine pot had no cork, so one could smell the overflowing aroma from afar. In the Purple Moon era, good wine was a precious item no matter where it was placed.
As for the crispy rice, it was not a common item either. It was a variant of the old civilization's peanut, and it was one of the best variants.
It was a lot bigger than the peanuts of the old civilization. The crispy rice was round and as big as half a thumb.
It was crispy and fragrant when it entered the mouth. When it was chewed, it was oily but not greasy. While it retained all the advantages of the old civilization's peanuts, its aroma and texture were undoubtedly on another level.
All the good stuff was simply placed beside the man's feet.
From time to time, he would peel a crispy rice and toss it into his mouth, then take a sip of the wine in the wine pot.
He didn't hide his enjoyment at all. When the sun was warm and there was a gentle breeze, when the crispy rice was still being chewed and the wine had already entered his throat, the corners of his mouth would curl into a smile.
His smile was charming.
Although people instinctively didn't want to provoke this guy, when he smiled, many women's eyes would stay on his face.
Was it because he was good-looking? No!
His black hair was interspersed with strands of white hair, which looked like the hair color of someone who was a little older.
But his face was very young. His eyebrows were thick, and the sides of his chin and cheeks glowed with a livid light. It was the luster of a shaved beard.
He should be a man with a lot of hair and beard, but he was very clean.
His facial features were not very delicate. His nose was not tall enough, and his eyebrows were thick but not well-shaped. The eyes under the thick eyebrows were not big, and his lips were a little too thin.
However, when he smiled, it was very good-looking. His eyes were clear and bright, and the curvature of his lips was just right. There was also a long dimple on his left cheek.
Coupled with his free and unrestrained manner and a little mysterious temperament, it turned into a kind of charming charm.
It was very soft and masculine, but it was also clean.
However, one could not figure out whether he was a good person or a bad person. His smile made people reluctant to believe that he was a bad person, but to say that he was a good person? No, there was an unfathomable mysteriousness about him that made him look a little evil.
Even Ro Xin could not help but take a few glances at the strange man.
When she saw the man's clear and bright eyes, she could not help but think of Tang Ling. She wondered if Tang Ling would look like this man in 10 or 20 years.
Probably not, right?
Tang Ling had a sharp edge around him like a sword sheathed in its scabbard. He also knew how it felt like a sword.
He was unlike this man who was hard to read.
On top of that, there was a faint sense of coldness around him that made people feel unapproachable. Even though he was childish at times, he was also kind and warm at times.
Unlike this man, there was a strange sense of familiarity around him.
With that in mind, Ro Xin blushed a little. She felt a little bored. Why did she have to compare them?
Was it because both of them had clear and bright eyes that she could not help it?
Tang Ling had no idea what Ro Xin was thinking, and the man did not care either. His eyes were glued to Tang Ling from the start to the end.
Tang Ling followed the crowd, and the closer he got to the man, the more mysterious the smile on his face became.
His smile attracted a lot of women, and they kept sizing him up.
However, at that moment, he took out something from the black robe he was wearing.
The item shone in a colorful radiance under the sun, and everyone could tell it was a Black Sea coin at first glance.
No one knew why the man took out a Black Sea coin at a time like this. However, he seemed to be enjoying it.
He placed the first Black Sea coin on the stairs beside him, then took out a second one and placed it on top of the stairs as well.
Before Tang Ling got close to him, he took out a total of 20 Black Sea coins and placed them neatly on the three stairs.
The Black Sea coins were glowing with the unique alluring luster of a currency.
However, no one dared to snatch the coins from him.
Except for Tang Ling! He really wanted to grab all the coins and stuff them into his pocket.
Amidst the strange atmosphere, Tang Ling slowly approached the man.
What else could happen? They might just brush past each other. Even though both of them were Dream Seeds, they did not share any common interests.
However, that was just what Tang Ling thought. The man did not hide his curiosity towards Tang Ling at all.
The curiosity infuriated Tang Ling. He turned away from the man and strode forward.
However, it was at that moment that Tang Ling tripped! He fell on the pile of coins in front of the man.
"You're in trouble now." A mellow and slightly magnetic voice came from above Tang Ling.
Tang Ling looked up and saw the man's smiling face. He did not know why, but in Tang Ling's eyes, the beautiful smile was like an old fox grinning at him.
"What am I in trouble now?" Unlike the others, Tang Ling did not feel an unknown fear towards the man. Instead, because the man kept sizing him up, Tang Ling felt annoyed and repulsed by him.
Tang Ling looked calm, but his heart was not.
How did he fall all of a sudden while walking? Why did he fall on the pile of coins in front of the man?
Did the man ambush him? How was it possible?
Tang Ling had Precise Instinct! He was many times more sensitive than a common man! He believed that even if a high-tier Purple Moon Warrior wanted to ambush him, he would be able to sense it even if he could not dodge it.
He did not want to believe that the man had ambushed him in an instant!
However, the question remained. Why did he fall?
Tang Ling could not answer the question, but the man before him had already reached out and grabbed Tang Ling's arm.
Tang Ling instinctively wanted to dodge. He had a lot of ways to do so, but he could not.
However, he just couldn't avoid it. That man seemed to have done it casually and easily, and he was caught in his hand.
Next, Tang Ling tried to break free.
Although he was not a Purple Moon Warrior, the strength of eight bulls was not to be underestimated. Even a high-tier Purple Moon Warrior would have to exert a little effort to suppress Tang Ling.
However, as the man grabbed the bottle and took a sip, he exerted his strength slightly and Tang Ling's strength was dispersed. He could not break free at all.
Not only was he unable to break free, but the force that he had used to break free had also transformed into another force that lifted his body up.
From the others' point of view, it looked like the man pulled Tang Ling up with a little force.
As Tang Ling stood up, the man finally answered his question. He pointed at the stairs with one hand and grabbed Tang Ling with the other. "Look at what you're in trouble now."
Tang Ling looked down and a suffocating rage rose in his heart.
It turned out that the 20 Black Sea coins that the man placed on the stairs were all broken into pieces. There was no way for him to recover them.
"Pay up," the man simply said. He was indeed paying up.
Tang Ling was extremely depressed. He dared not believe what he saw. Although the Black Sea coins were made from large pearls, they should not be so fragile that he could break them into pieces with a single push, right?
He was not a piece of iron! Even if he was, he should have smashed the coins with force, right? Moreover, how did he do it? All he did was push himself down. The Black Sea coins were placed all over the three stairs, and some of them were broken before he even touched them.
"Pay up!" the man emphasized again.
Ro Xin stood up and wanted to say something, but the man glared at her. She realized that she could not open her mouth.
It felt as if someone was pressing against his lower jaw, and he couldn't even open his mouth.
Her heart sank. She instantly understood that the man was after Tang Ling and the coins were just an excuse.
If Ro Xin could understand, how could Tang Ling not?
Damn it, isn't this a little too extravagant? Just to scam me, you put 20 plus Black Sea coins on the table? Give it to me! I'll follow you!
Even as he grumbled in his heart, Tang Ling fished 4 Black Sea coins out from his pocket and grabbed his backpack, placing it in front of the man.
"I'll pay you back."
Tang Ling was being honest, but he knew deep down that he could not resist the man, so it was better for him to solve the problem first.
In the end, the man took the 4 Black Sea coins and did not even bat an eye at the big backpack. He said, "You crushed 27 Black Sea coins, so give me 27 Black Sea coins. Other than that, I won't accept anything else."
"Fine, I didn't." Tang Ling was infuriated. He snatched the Black Sea coins from the man and shoved them into Ro Xin's hand.
Strangely enough, the invincible man allowed Tang Ling to snatch the 4 Black Sea coins from his hand and seemed to be happy about it.
"Fine, you're done for." The man smiled again as he looked at Tang Ling and uttered word by word, "Let's go to work!"
