“Oh yes. Are you going to class tomorrow then?” asked Zi Beiying.
“Do you want me to hang out with you?” asked Gu Ning. Why would Zi Beiying ask about school if she did not want her company?
“Heheh! Uh huh!” said Zi Beiying sheepishly as she laughed, “If you have school, or have something to take care of, don’t force yourself.”
“It’s okay, but I can only see you tomorrow around 1:00 to 2:00 pm,” said Gu Ning. Since Leng Shaoting was heading back to the military base around that time, she wanted to spend the morning with him. They planned on going to the siheyuan to see Shangguan Yang with Jing Yunyao and have breakfast together.
They would not have the time to visit the Leng family for now, so Gu Ning would go back to visit Master Leng with Jing Yunyao some other time.
Leng Shaoting was heading back tomorrow, but he gave Xu Jinchen permission to stay for two more days. Since Xu Jinchen had only brought Zi Beiying over today, it did not seem right for him to dump her here and go back. More importantly, there was nothing important waiting for Xu Jinchen’s attention back at the base.
There was barely any interaction between Zi Beiying and Xu Jinchen at night, but things did not seem awkward between them.
Instead, Xu Jinlin felt anxious for Xu Jinchen and secretly despised him. Xu Jinchen was trying to get the girl, but did not take the initiative to talk to her. How would she ever like a guy like that? Then again, he was not in the position to say more since he was an outsider.
They parted ways at 10:00 pm. Xu Jinlin went off on his own while Xu Jinchen took Zi Beiying and the others and drove to Century City with Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning.
Since it was late at night, there was barely any traffic and they got there before long.
After they arrived, Gu Ning showed them to their rooms. She gave Zi Beiying a house key and keys for the cars in the garage after sorting out their living arrangements, so they could get around the city by car.
Then Gu Ning and the others left after making arrangements for them. Xu Jinchen did not go back to the Xu residence. Instead, he went to his apartment. Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went back to the villa.
The villa district was called Mid-levels and it was built around a mountain and not level ground.
Mid-levels was a posh villa estate, so only the rich and famous could afford property here.
Although Mid-levels was located in the suburbs and not as close to the city center as Mountain River Garden, its location allowed it to have a lot of greenery. Most villa districts were located in the suburbs, because since it was more centrally located, it was considered much better.
Although Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning stayed in the same room in Country Y, nothing happened. They were simply not in the mood to do anything as the situation was tense. Now that everything was settled and they were home, there was nothing to hold them back.
The moment they made it back to Mid-levels, Leng Shaoting let loose and made love to Gu Ning all night.
“I can’t stop…” Leng Shaoting came close to Gu Ning’s ear and whispered mushy things to her.
“Then don’t,” replied Gu Ning. The sense of bliss made her want it to go on forever as well.
Gu Ning’s words sounded like an invitation to make love to her, deeply arousing Leng Shaoting, so he made love to her even more vigorously.
They kept going at it until late at night before the two of them fell asleep with their arms circled around each other.
They slept in the next day. And since they were in bed, things got steamy and they could not resist having more sex before finally getting up at 9:00 am.
After Leng Shaoting got out of bed, he called Shangguan Yang to tell him that Gu Ning, Jing Yunyao and he were going over to the siheyuan for lunch.
Shangguan Yang was happy to have them, so he told Lao Zhang to prepare more food for lunch the moment he hung up the phone.
Leng Shaoting called Jing Yunyao and told her about lunch at the siheyuan and she naturally agreed.
…
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to Mountain River Garden to pick up Jing Yunyao before going to the siheyuan.
It was around 11:00 am when they got to the siheyuan. And since it was still early for lunch, they were in no hurry and chatted instead.
Leng Shaoting told Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao about his encounter with the vampires and how they claimed to have met cultivators. Gu Ning also told them about the ninjas she bumped into who were trying to investigate cultivators. The both of them could not help looking worried the moment they heard the news.
“From the looks of it, cultivators have been very active in the mortal world lately. Also, they had conflict with people in the mortal world,” said Jing Yunyao.
Although there were no rules preventing cultivators from visiting the mortal world, they were not as active in the past. However, now there was an increasing number of cultivators entering the mortals’ world.
“What are mutants and vampires like?” asked Shangguan Yang. Even though he was a cultivator and knew of the existence of evil creatures, he had never encountered mutants or vampires before, so he was unaware of their characteristics and abilities. However, they had an inkling of what they were capable of just by hearing their names.
“Mutants are a result of long-term injections of certain drugs and the blood of a certain murderous animal, they then slowly mutate in a special radiation environment for a long time. After the mutation is successful, the subject takes on the appearance of the animal in question. Mutants possess superhuman strength, but also have self-healing ability. Pustules form on the skin due to radiation that turns into a horny layer of skin after recovery, which greatly increases its defense ability. They can recover ten times faster than an average human no matter how badly injured they are. However, the radiation destroys their brain, so they have no sense of pain and have a low IQ. They are fearless and do anything their master orders,” said Gu Ning. She knew more about mutants than Leng Shaoting.
Gu Ning continued, “Vampires are neither human nor ghosts. They rely on sucking blood for their strength. Most of the time, they look no different than humans and resemble evil cultivators. They fear sunlight, so they are usually active at night. If they want to come out during the day, they need full protection. Even though they are extraordinarily strong, I think they are a lot weaker than cultivators in comparison.”
Even though Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao were cultivators and knew evil creatures existed, they could not help feeling shocked as it was the first time they heard about mutants and vampires.
“Are they up to something now for them to be coming to find out more about cultivators?” asked Shangguan Yang. Even though he was new to the mortal world, he was keenly aware of the hostility Country R and Country M had towards their country and their repeated efforts to stop them.
