After going to school for two to three days, Mengmeng became used to the routine. She even recognized a small number of her classmates. It would take a while before she got to know all the classmates in the class.
In a class, there would always be people who did not fit in and they would be divided into several small groups, which was quite normal. There was always a saying that people with different aims do not work well together.
Among them, Mengmeng was the most popular.
Not only was she good-looking, but she was also vivacious and adorable. Bei Jin’nan was the one who took a fancy to her. It took him only three days to feel as if he was in love.
He knew all about this kind of feeling, having gleaned this information from computers and other sources, so he knew that it could be expressed in one word—crush.
Although a middle school student was a bit immature, he knew what a crush was.
Bei Jin’nan would take every opportunity to stay near Mengmeng and attempt to chat with her when they were having physical education or doing some other activity.
As for Mengmeng, Bei Jin’nan was just a good playmate. They could talk about lots of things. Therefore, he was just one of Mengmeng’s male friends that she met in school.
Being able to see Mengmeng’s smile every day, Bei Jin’nan felt content. Even if they had a quarrel, Bei Jin’nan felt she was cute when she came out with some surprising remarks.
Bei Jin’nan sat in his brother’s BMW X7.
“Brother, I have a crush on a classmate. I can chat with her and get along well with her. I like to see her smile. And… well, I like everything about her, but I just don’t dare to tell her. I’m afraid that we might not be friends anymore. What should I do?”
Bei Jin’nan looked at his brother who was driving.
“Haha, Jin’nan, you are only 12 years old. How would you know anything about love? Maybe you are just interested in a good-looking girl.”
Bei Jin’nan’s elder brother was driving the car. He had a flattop haircut. There was a scar on his right neck, which added a fierce aura to his genial appearance. However, he was quite gentle with Bei Jin’nan.
He smiled and said, “If you are in high school, maybe I will support you. But it’s not necessary for you to chase after love in middle school.”
“But I just like her. If it’s possible, I’m willing to wait for her. Besides, there are many couples in our school. I’ve seen a few of the senior students kissing in the garden,” Bei Jin’nan said.
“Ah?”
Bei Jin’nan’s brother was stunned and said in amusement, “This is normal. I can understand. It’s up to you. When you grow up, you’ll know that some beautiful women are within your reach. As long as you want any, I can arrange everything for you, including college students, campus belles, models, stars, and so on. You are still young and don’t know what love is about at all. Of course, true love is very rare. Unfortunately, you are not old enough to understand it. Don’t worry. You can treat her as a friend. If you really can’t help it, it’s not a big deal to pursue her. At the very least, you’ll have some good memories.”
“I know, brother.” Bei Jin’nan nodded, seeming to understand what he said.
“But you have to remember not to play with people’s feelings so easily. It’s hard to pay back the debt of love. With our status, we can have as many women as we want, but… forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you. Just watch yourself. You are very smart. I don’t have to worry about this.”
Since he was giving him such advice, it proved that his brother was very kind to him and had a close relationship with him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said anything.
After chatting for a while, Bei Jin’nan leaned back in the back seat and gazed out of the window in a daze.
Seeing his expression, his brother shook his head and chuckled. He was about 25 or 26 years old. Recollecting the days when he was in middle school, there was indeed a girl he liked although he was very playful back then. He was very young and immature. At that time, he was rather shy and needed to gather up his courage when he talked to her.
Unfortunately, they didn’t end up together. However, the good memories remained in his mind.
Although he didn’t know what love was at that time, he knew that he liked her.
They had a weekend break, which would be really pleasant. In middle school, the teachers would usually give them some homework.
In order to have more play time for the next two days, Mengmeng worked hard from seven o’clock to a little over eleven o’clock that night and finished all her homework.
The next day, she began to have fun. She called Chen Chuan, Dahei, Little Hei, Tiny Tot, and several other friends from the mountain. They enjoyed themselves in the magic paradise. Mengmeng practiced the Fireball Skill in the afternoon. She made great progress. The fireball was almost as big as a basketball now. What made her ecstatic was that she was praised by Zhang Han and Zi Yan.
On Sunday, Mengmeng enjoyed herself. In the afternoon, the family of three sat in the pavilion while Mengmeng practiced the Fireball Skill. When she was tired, she would drink some sweet watermelon juice and was generally in a good mood.
After Mengmeng practiced for more than half an hour, Zhang Guangyou came over and said, “Son, Si Nan will bring Lord Nan Shan and the others here later. They are here on their travels and want to discuss something with you at the same time. It seems that they want to ask you to do something in the King’s Domain.”
Zhang Guangyou sat next to Zhang Han and spoke.
“Huh?” Mengmeng was stunned.
“Is daddy going out?”
“Oh? My granddaughter’s fireball has increased in size. Awesome,” Zhang Guangyou said with a smile.
“They want to ask daddy to go to the King’s Domain? But, but it’s very dangerous there.” Mengmeng’s tone was a little reluctant. She pouted and said, “Daddy, didn’t you always say that you will stay with me and Mummy? Going to King’s Domain will be boring. If you want to go out to play, you can go to the Ancient Mine and worldlet. It’s big enough.”
Mengmeng had heard from Mu Xue that her father was almost like a god in this world. He was very powerful and could be regarded as an invincible legend. But there were also threats in the world, such as the Kunlun Immortal World and the King’s Domain in the Ancient Mine.
Therefore, Mengmeng did not want Zhang Han to go to those dangerous places.
She did not understand the concept of the Cultivation World at all. She had seen some incidents and battles, but they were more like entertainment.
“Maybe something happened. It’s okay. Your father is very capable,” Zhang Guangyou smiled casually.
Now they had a close relationship with Lord Nan Shan. Though he was powerful, Zhang Han rated highly in his estimation. After only over two months of connection, he already thought highly of Zhang Han.
Before Zhang Guangyou had chatted with them for a few more minutes, Si Nan came with Lord Nan Shan and the other eight Real Kings.
“Zhang Hanyang, I’m sorry to disturb you again.”
Lord Nan Shan, who was walking at a distance said this very politely. His voice was loud and clear and rang out in the vicinity.
Quite a few people spotted him and recognized him as the renowned Lord Nan Shan, one of the 13 magnates of the King’s Domain.
“It’s our honor to entertain Lord Nan Shan here.”
Zhang Guangyou laughed and replied politely, “We have an old saying that friends come from afar…”
Before he finished speaking, Mengmeng pouted and used the method that Mu Xue had taught her to run the spiritual force in her body in her throat. Her voice was very light, but it spread very widely.
She said faintly, “Cane 800 times. Corpse sunk into the sea.”
“Ah?” Zhang Guangyou was so confused that he could not even speak out. He was dumbfounded.
When he heard this, Lord Nan Shan was stunned at first. Then, he had a strange look on his face and his lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
If someone in the King’s Domain dared to say that Lord Nan Shan’s corpse was sunk in the sea, they would be dead.
But at this moment, Lord Nan Shan was at a loss for words.
If he said something, he would make Mengmeng cry and Zhang Hanyang…
Even Si Nan looked embarrassed.
There were only a few people in the world who dared to say such words to Lord Nan Shan.
“Ahem.”
When he approached Zhang Han and saw that he didn’t say anything, Lord Nan Shan faked a cough and said, “You’re getting cuter.”
“How could I compete with Lord Nan Shan?” Mengmeng beamed with a smile.
Of course, it was also due to Zi Yan’s gaze. If Mengmeng said anything against him again, she would be told off by her mother.
Mengmeng was fully aware of what she could do and what she shouldn’t do, as she excelled in observing people’s words and expressions. The Little Princess was most experienced.
“Please have a seat.” Zhang Han waved his hand to Lord Nan Shan and the others.
He did not move and had no intention of getting up.
It was the same when they met each other for the first time. At first, Lord Nan Shan was displeased, but when he witnessed Zhang Han’s strength by chance, his displeasure dissipated. A man’s strength determined his status.
Lord Nan Shan and the others sat down.
A few seconds after he sat down, Lord Nan Shan spoke, “I have something to talk to you privately.”
“Mengmeng, let’s go to the magic paradise.”
Before going to play, Mengmeng reminded Zhang Han with some concern, “Well, okay, Daddy, don’t be fooled by others.”
Zhang Guangyou thought for a while and also ran to the other side to fish in the fish pond.
Lord Nan Shan raised his hand slightly, and Si Nan left the pavilion with the others and went to chat with Zhang Guangyou.
“Buzz!”
Lord Nan Shan raised a stream of energy to envelop the pavilion and isolate the aura.
“Zhang Hanyang, I have news for you. The access to the Kunlun Immortal World will be stable soon and it has taken nearly 30 years to accomplish that. How long it can last will depend on how stable it is. I’m talking about the past, but this time, it seems to be a little different. After it opens, it may become a stable access like the worldlet. At that time, we can also enter the Kunlun Immortal World. There is no world suppression there, so my power can be fully displayed. I don’t know how many people will be able to compete with me.” Lord Nan Shan said slowly, “I heard that you had a feud with Wind Snow Temple, right?”
“Oh.” No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhang Han knew what he meant. Lord Nan Shan believed that the Dark Shadow Clan dominated everything. Without any suppression in the Kunlun Immortal World, he could lead his people to slay and dominate that place. Maybe there would be different resources and treasures.
“Without suppression of the strength, it doesn’t mean that the Dark Shadow Clan can be safe there.” Zhang Han shook his head slightly. “Dark Shadow Clan wants to get out of the Ancient Mine. As I said, unless something serious happens in this world, there will be no chance for you to do that.”
“Let’s give it a try then.”
Lord Nan Shan fell silent for two seconds and then continued, “Another thing is that there is a Light Gate at the neighboring continent of the King’s Domain and the Northernmost Sea. There is a similar situation in the secular world and the small world there. It actually suppresses strength. The highest strength it can suppress is half a step away from the Elixir Stage. There are a lot of Bone Demons inside. The clansmen who entered there saw a high mountain surrounded by light. The dim light is connected to the sky. Countless Bone Demons are worshipping there as if there is a peerless treasure about to appear. I came here to ask if you have any plans to go to the King’s Domain. Your strength is almost invincible here. I don’t know what level you will reach in the King’s Domain, but as long as I am here, no one can hurt you.”
“Bone Demon is worshipping?”
Zhang Han frowned slightly and said, “There may be a Devil King.”
If Bone Demons worshipped together, there might be some horrible creatures appearing. It could also be a treasure, but they did not know what it was.
“How long has it been since the Light Gate appeared?” Zhang Han asked.
“Half a month.”
Zhang Han responded, “There’s no rush. It may take three months or half a year. You can tell me when there is any big news.”
The implication was that this little movement did not attract his attention at all.
