Xu Xufeng paced back and forth on the shore like a headless fly. Every few seconds, he couldn't help but look at his phone. Li Xiao had been in the water for half an hour, but she still hadn't come out. He couldn't help but feel nervous. Will she be okay? If he had known earlier, he would have stopped Xiao Xiao and not let her go into the water!
He was nervous and anxious. He wished he could travel back in time to half an hour ago. He shouldn't have let Li Xiao go into the water so carelessly.
Should he call the police? Cang Hai also went into the water just now. He didn't know what was going on.
Xu Xufeng wished he could grow a pair of eyes in the water so that he could see what was going on under the water. He couldn't help but turn to look at Kwon Ilsen. Kwon Ilsen was staring at the water with a serious expression.
Just as he was about to call the police, there was finally a change in the water surface.
A large ripple spread out on the water surface. In the next second, two figures walked out. One was Cang Hai, who he had just seen, and the other was Li Xiao. Xu Xufeng immediately looked at Xiao Xiao nervously. When he saw that she was unharmed and even her clothes were dry, he couldn't help but sigh in relief. When his gaze fell on Li Xiao and Cang Hai's hands, Xu Xufeng was immediately petrified.
Wait a minute? What's going on with these two? Is Cang Hai Li Xiao's boyfriend? When did this happen? I've never heard of this before.
His mood was in a mess. There were too many questions in his heart, and he didn't know where to start asking.
Kwon Ilsen immediately noticed them holding hands. Although he was already prepared, when he saw this scene with his own eyes, he felt like his heart was being squeezed tightly by a pair of invisible hands. He almost couldn't breathe. In the past, he had always thought that Cang Hai wasn't worthy of Li Xiao at all. He was just a gigolo who lived off a woman. However, after watching the two enter the water for half an hour, they came out as if nothing had happened. There wasn't even a drop of water on their bodies. This miraculous scene seemed to draw a chasm between them, reminding him that perhaps he and Li Xiao were not people of the same world.
Her world was a bizarre metaphysical world that belonged to Cang Hai.
This realization pained him, but at the same time, he was unwilling to accept it. For the first time, he tasted powerlessness.
When they got ashore, Li Xiao realized that everyone was looking at their hands. Only then did she let go — well, she had touched enough of the little lucky hand anyway!
Her gaze fell on the Scallops that were following them from afar, and she motioned for him to come over.
In the past, the Scallops would never listen to the orders of a human. However, it was different now. This human was his master's sweetheart. Her status was naturally different. Thus, he ran over eagerly.
Li Xiao said, "This is the underwater Scallops demon. You were working earlier and woke him up." She explained the ins and outs of the matter. She didn't take sides and was very fair.
The Scallops also cooperated and revealed his true form, showing that he was different from humans. The corner of Xu Xufeng's mouth twitched — so the demons in novels really existed!
Kwon Ilsen was stunned. He really didn't expect this to be the reason.
His gaze fell on the Scallops. Perhaps he should be thankful that the other party was just playing a prank and didn't kill anyone. After the previous incident where he fell into a coma, his style of doing things had more or less changed. He no longer did things his own way.
"I understand. I will tell them not to work at night, and I will also tell them not to throw rubbish into the water."
The Scallops added, "About that, throw some small fish into the water. I don't mind." He liked to eat!
Li Xiao glanced at him. The Scallops didn't dare to say anything else.
Kwon Ilsen said, "Thank you for your help this time. I will transfer the reward to your card." He said this, nodded slightly, and turned to leave. His back was clean and neat, but there was a hint of loneliness. Perhaps he should find a place to get drunk to ease the pain of being heartbroken.
Li Xiao was stunned. She noticed that Kwon Ilsen's attitude towards her had changed. He seemed to have become more polite. However, this attitude was exactly what she wanted to see. As for the reward, she didn't ask. Anyway, with Kwon Ilsen's personality, he definitely wouldn't be stingy.
Yes, when the time comes, I will give some to Cang Hai. Although Cang Hai didn't come, she could deal with the Scallops alone. However, because of him, things progressed more smoothly. Furthermore, he rushed over because he was worried about her.
Moreover, there was no harm in being on good terms with the legendary mythical beast.
Speaking of which, there was something she was very concerned about. According to the records of the Vast Cloud Temple, there had been no traces of other dragons in the land of China since hundreds of years ago. This was also the reason why she didn't think of Cang Hai as a dragon in the beginning. She didn't expect that he would appear now. So, where did the other dragons go?
She didn't know if Cang Hai was willing to tell her …
She suppressed these thoughts and said to Xu Xufeng, "I will go to Cang Hai's place first."
Xu Xufeng coughed, "It's already dark."
Was Xiao Xiao going to spend the night at Cang Hai's place? And he was the one who drove his cousin into the wolf's den? No, if his sister found out, she would probably beat him to death! He hurriedly pulled Xiao Xiao to the side and said reservedly, "It's not appropriate to get pregnant before marriage."
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment before she reacted. The corner of her mouth twitched, "You think too much. We are just friends. I just want to ask him something."
Xu Xufeng nodded absent-mindedly. Yes, yes, you are just friends. Friends who hold each other's hands. He understood that when a man and a woman didn't reveal their relationship, they would announce that they were just friends to the outside world.
Sigh, when he thought of this, he felt a little sad.
He pulled himself together and said, "Okay, then I will send you there. When you are done talking, I will pick you up."
"Okay." Her cousin was willing to be the chauffeur, which saved her a lot of effort.
Cang Hai didn't think of how to arrange the Scallops, so he let him stay here. He took Li Xiao's car back.
When they arrived at Cang Hai's residence, Li Xiao went straight to the point and asked, "How many dragons are there in China?" She paused for a moment and said, "If it is not convenient to say, you don't have to tell me." She could slowly investigate on her own.
Cang Hai lowered his eyes, "There is nothing that cannot be said. I am the only one left."
"Huh?" Where did the other dragons go?
Cang Hai said lightly, "The dragon vein in China has been cut off. The dragon clan's destiny in the human world has been exhausted. In addition, the spiritual energy is getting thinner and the belief is weakening, so the appearance of the gods is getting rarer and rarer."
Then why did Cang Hai stay here? The dragon vein being cut off was probably referring to what happened to Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, for a dragon like him, staying in the human world was not a good thing. The reason why he was getting more and more sleepy and sleeping all year round was probably a way to protect himself.
Cang Hai said, "I stayed here to wait for my friend." He did not have time to give out the gifts that he had refined at that time. And he had a hunch that the reason why his situation was different from the other dragons was related to this matter.
Li Xiao was very curious about who Cang Hai's friend was. It should be very powerful like him. She asked Cang Hai if he had heard about the Void Mirror.
Cang Hai's evaluation of the Void Mirror was quite high, "The Void Mirror can turn illusion into reality. It is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake. So even if you meet the real thing, you may not be able to recognize that it is the Void Mirror, unless it is willing to let you know."
From a certain point of view, the Great Void Mirror was quite impressive. So at that time, when the Void Mirror was obtained by the first Abbey Dean of Yunxiao Guan, it actually deliberately appeared and fell into the hands of the Abbey Dean?
Feeling that there were many mysteries in this, Li Xiao could not help but have the idea of finding out the truth. Hmm, the next step is to collect the relevant clues.
Lê Hảo remembered something. When she went to the Xu family to pay her respects, the person she met at that time should be Cang Hai. After he retrieved the bead, the fengshui of the Xu family smoothly turned for the better.
She did not expect that their first meeting would actually come earlier than she thought.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, something cold was stuffed into Li Xiao's palm. She focused her eyes and saw that it was a dark green bead.
Cang Hai blinked, "I saw on the Internet that your birthday is coming up. This is your birthday gift, the Water Repellent Bead." He did not know if Li Xiao would invite him on her birthday, so he gave it in advance.
Li Xiao suddenly understood. This meant that as long as she took this, she would be able to walk in the water as if it was flat ground. She did not need to prepare any additional related talismans.
Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, "Thank you. I like this gift very much." She had forgotten that her birthday was coming up. Too many things had happened during this time.
She pondered for a moment, "What about your birthday?"
Cang Hai thought for a moment, "I don't remember." It had been too long. It had been so long that he could not remember his specific birthday.
Li Xiao thought for a moment, "Then let's set the day we officially met as your birthday. We will celebrate on that day every year in the future."
Cang Hai's expression was very serious, "Okay, I will try not to sleep on that day."
Li Xiao almost laughed out loud. In a sense, Cang Hai was quite cute.
*****
Zhang Yao watched as his boss began to drown his sorrows in alcohol. He felt a headache coming on.
After returning from East Lake, Boss looked like he had been hurt by love. What should he do? Should he find someone to comfort him? But if he acted on his own and randomly found someone to comfort him, it would not be good for him to fly into a rage. The good thing about working for Kwon Ilsen was that the salary was high, but the bad thing was that the probability of being fired was very high.
At this moment, the other assistant, Lin De, beamed as he said to Zhang Yao with a smile, "I have already called the CEO's ex-girlfriend, Xin Lulu, to come over." Xin Lulu could be considered the CEO's longest relationship. She definitely knew how to comfort the CEO.
Zhang Yao was stunned, "But they have already broken up."
Lin De said, "Even if they broke up, they can still get back together. You don't understand. The CEO's heart is at its weakest right now. " If Xin Lulu really succeeded this time and the two of them got back together, then for this reason, Xin Lulu should at least show some appreciation for his assistance.
Zhang Yao's eyelids twitched, but he did not say anything. Since he had already found her, he could not possibly drive her away. Maybe this ex-girlfriend would still be effective. After all, the CEO used to dote on her a lot. He even spent a lot of money on her and bought her countless luxury brands. He even acknowledged her identity in front of the media. If Xin Lulu had not been unsatisfied and angered him, the two of them would not have broken up so quickly. What's more, Xin Lulu's appearance was somewhat similar to Li Xiao. Perhaps the CEO could continue to shift his affections to her.
Because of this reason, he did not object. Instead, he waited for Xin Lulu's arrival.
Two hours later, Xin Lulu, who was dressed up to the nines, slowly arrived.
Zhang Yao looked at Xin Lulu. Her face was still as radiant as he had imagined. But he did not know if it was an illusion, but Xin Lulu's facial features seemed to have changed a little. For example, her eyes were bigger and her nose was more delicate. Did she have plastic surgery? Why did she suddenly have plastic surgery? She was already beautiful enough.
Xin Lulu smiled. "Where is he?"
He was a little nervous. He had forgotten what his previous face looked like. He had no choice but to search for her photos online and adjust them. However, many of the photos taken by the media were either filtered or slightly edited to make him look ugly. This caused him to spend a lot of effort. But considering that Kwon Ilsen was generous with the money, he still came without hesitation. At most, he would receive another expensive breakup fee! He would "reluctantly" accept it!
Lin De immediately led her over and said, "The CEO has a meeting tomorrow afternoon. Can you persuade him to drink less?"
Xin Lulu smiled. "Okay, leave it all to me."
Her smile was confident and made him feel honored. Zhang Yao did not know why, but he suddenly had a bad feeling.
