The sun shone brightly in the morning.
Sizzling sounds of meat frying in a pan could be heard in the kitchen.
A thick fragrance of meat spread throughout the entire apartment. It was incredibly appetizing.
Tang Hao wore an apron and stood in front of the stove, concentrating on frying the meat.
It was a peaceful scene.
In the living room, the curtains blocked the sunlight, and it was still dark.
On the couch, something under the blanket suddenly moved. A head popped out sleepily from under the blanket.
She yawned several times, still in a groggy state.
Soon after that, she came to her senses, and her eyes opened wide. She nearly jumped up from the couch.
She sat up and looked warily around her.
Sensing the movement in the living room, Tang Hao poked his head out of the kitchen and looked over. “You’re awake?” He shouted.
She was surprised when she saw Tang Hao, and she was visibly relieved.
As she collected her thoughts, she became increasingly shaken.
She could not remember what happened last night clearly, but she vaguely remembered that she was drugged, and there was a scene in the car.
She could not remember anything after that.
‘I’m in his home! Could it be that… something really happened? Otherwise, how did he cure the poison?”
She was confused for quite some time.
However, she eventually calmed down and accepted the fact.
‘After all, I’m poisoned and it’s not his fault. Besides, that person isn’t annoying, and he’s quite amazing. If he takes away my virginity, so be it.
‘Wait, did he wear a condom last night? What if I become pregnant?’
“Last night, did you… wear that?” She asked.
“Wear what?” Tang Hao was confused.
“That!” Mu Xintong said.
“What do you mean by that?” Tang Hao was even more confused.
Mu Xintong gritted her teeth. A hint of annoyance appeared on her face as she glared at him coldly.
‘He must be doing this on purpose!’
Tang Hao was stunned for a moment before he realized what she was talking about. He immediately rolled his eyes and wondered if she was silly. She didn’t even know if she had lost her virginity.
If they had really done something the night before, she would not have been able to sit up.
“Stop your fantasies. Nothing happened!” Tang Hao hurriedly said.
Mu Xintong was stunned. “Really?”
“Of course. You can see for yourself!” Tang Hao said.
She gave her parts a brief check and was relieved that nothing had happened.
Tang Hao scratched his head sheepishly. They had not gone to fourth base, but she had kissed and fondled him.
The atmosphere in the apartment suddenly became a little awkward.
Mu Xintong sat there, holding the blanket. Her face resumed the usual cold expression.
“Thank you!” She spoke softly after a long while.
“Don’t mention it. Besides, all of this happened because of me.” As Tang Hao spoke, he went back into the kitchen, flipped the meat over, and turned back to face her.
“You know about it?”
“Yes! Ol’ Bai told me about it. I’m flying to Dongying at noon,” Tang Hao said.
Mu Xintong was startled. “Be careful!” She said.
“Mm!” Tang Hao replied.
“Oh, right, do you want to take a shower? I’ve prepared some clothes for you!” Tang Hao pointed at the couch opposite him. On it was a brand new set of clothes with their tags still intact.
Mu Xintong lowered her head and looked at her bloodstained clothes. She nodded, got up, picked up the clothes, and walked to the bathroom.
Splash!
The sounds of flowing water could be heard from the bathroom for the next half an hour.
She looked different when she came out of the bathroom. She wore a thin white sweater on top and a pair of jeans on the bottom. The clothes had revealed her voluptuous figure.
She did not look as valiant compared to the military uniform, but she was more fashionable and charming.
That delicate face was still covered with a layer of water vapor. It was as beautiful as a dream.
She dried her hair, went to the kitchen, and sat down in front of Tang Hao.
“What’s this?”
Her beautiful eyes lit up after eating a small piece of meat.
“Griffin!”
“Oh!” She responded and continued to eat calmly.
“Ol’ Bai’s people will come to deliver something to me in a while. At the same time, they’ll bring you back to the base,” Tang Hao said.
“Mm!” She replied gently.
The dining table fell into silence.
Tang Hao racked his brains and could not find a conversation topic. She remained as cold and distant as ever, though her eyes flickered with emotion when she inadvertently glanced at Tang Hao.
Although nothing serious happened, there was nonetheless a period of intimate contact.
Those intimate scenes resurfaced in her mind whenever she looked at him. It was hard for her to remain calm.
About half an hour after breakfast, the people from the Agency arrived to pick up Mu Xintong. Tang Hao received his passport, visa, and information about the Dongying cultivation world.
He sat down and read the information on the tablet carefully.
The Japanese cultivation world was divided into four factions: The Koga and Iga ninja cultivator clans, Izumo Shrine where Tamamo came from, and Amaterasu Shrine.
The ninja cultivators last night were from the Iga clan.
Tang Hao realized that he had dealt with many of those people. He had killed many of them when he eliminated Miki Group.
“Iga… You’ll be the first!” Tang Hao muttered. His tone was full of killing intent.
If Dongying wanted to get rid of him, he would rather be the one who strikes first.
He would make an example out of the Iga clan so that the other forces of the Dongying cultivator world would stay away from him.
Tang Hao was surprised when he read the information about Izumo Shrine.
He was reminded of Tamamo.
Izumo Shrine was not among the group of cultivators that Miki Group invited last time. That made him view Izumo Shrine in a different light.
He wanted to call Tamamo to ask about the situation, but after thinking about it, he did not call her.
It was not that he did not trust her. If she really wanted to harm him, the entire Dongying cultivation world would have known that he was the Dragon by now.
However, she was Dongyingese after all, and he was going to kill her compatriots on this trip. It was not appropriate to tell her.
After reading the information, he started to organize the things in his pocket dimension.
At noon, he boarded the plane and flew to Dongying.
After getting off the plane and stepping on Dongying soil, Tang Hao felt a little emotional. He left a trail of blood on his last trip, and he would be doing the same again.
He would be killing even more people this time.
After leaving the airport, he called a cab and went to the city. He rented a car and drove toward the location of the Iga clan’s headquarters.
Soon, the sky turned dark.
After a long journey, Tang Hao finally arrived at his destination at about one o’clock in the morning.
In front of him was a mountain. That was the Iga clan’s home base.
He slowed down and drove in.
