God of Pets

Chapter 734 Shanghai at Night

Guan Xinlan arrived at a high-end club in the eastern district of Zuting. The waiters and waitresses coming and going all bowed slightly to her and then stepped aside.

After Guan Xinlan walked away, they continued with their own business.

Guan Xinlan glanced at the dazzling, decadent place with some disgust. She didn't like this kind of place and didn't want to come here, but she had no choice but to.

Because Zuting had given her an order to come here and find someone, and to do whatever it took to meet that person's request and ask him to do something for her.

As the commander of the secret guards who was adopted and trained by the ancestral court from childhood, she had to complete this mission at all costs.

This retro-style club called "Night Shanghai" has four floors. Ordinary guests can only move around on the first and second floors. The third floor is the VIP area. People who can go up there are not just rich, but must be influential figures in this eastern district.

The fourth floor, however, was where the owner of Night Shanghai entertained his friends. Only his friends could go up there to have fun, and they didn't have to spend any money.

Guan Xinlan went up to the fourth floor, and no one stopped her. Even though the owner of this place had connections everywhere, he wouldn't dare to stop a single bodyguard. Besides, the owner had already received notice that someone was coming and had made preparations in advance.

Guan Xinlan passed by courtyard after courtyard. There were no private rooms, only courtyards where one could look up at the starry sky. Each courtyard was about the size of a football field, but the interior decoration styles were all different.

“Odin… Dipankara… Jade Emperor… Zeus…” Guan Xinlan walked past each courtyard, each named after a god-king from ancient mythology.

Although the scenery inside the courtyard cannot be seen, the architectural style of the courtyard gate alone seems to resemble that of mythological systems.

"Is the owner here doing business, or is he making offerings to a deity?" Guan Xinlan frowned and snorted coldly.

"To mortals, everyone who lives here is like a god in their own realm, or rather, they are the kings of gods in that realm," a voice said from the side.

Guan Xinlan looked at the person who spoke. She was a very beautiful woman. Perhaps because of the principle of same sex repulsion, Guan Xinlan felt at first glance that she did not like this woman, because this woman was just as beautiful as her.

"Sir, the boss asked me to assist you in your work. Whatever your requests, I will do everything I can to fulfill them," the beautiful woman said.

"What's your name?" Guan Xinlan asked.

"Sir, you can just call me Shuiyu. I'm the supervisor on the fourth floor of Night Shanghai," the beautiful woman said gently.

"Jade in water appears flawless at first glance, but upon closer inspection after it dries, its cracks are as fine as cotton." Guan Xinlan said a few words while looking at the water jade, then changed the subject and said, "If I asked you to die, would you die?"

Shuiyu didn't say anything, but clapped her hands, and immediately a maid brought in a plate and came to Guanxinlan's side.

Guan Xinlan glanced at it and saw that there was a dagger with a sheath in the plate. Just by looking at the leather sheath, she knew that it must be a priceless item.

"If Your Excellency requires, you may take Shuiyu's life now." Shuiyu closed her eyes, slightly raised her head, revealing her fair neck, as delicate as mutton fat jade, like a white swan with its neck bent, awaiting slaughter.

"Take me to see Luo Yuanfei." Guan Xinlan did not take out a dagger, nor did she kill Shui Yu.

As soon as she takes the dagger, she falls into someone else's rhythm. Whether they kill or not, she is already at a disadvantage, so she will not take that dagger.

But she might not necessarily refrain from killing; she can kill whenever she wants, and use whatever methods she desires.

If she were to kill Shuiyu, she would have to choose a time when Shuiyu least wanted to die.

"Please, sir." Shuiyu dismissed the maids and led the way, her gait as graceful as a willow swaying in the breeze, indescribably beautiful.

Finally, the two arrived at a courtyard. Guan Xinlan saw a plaque on one side of the courtyard that read "Andersen". Guan Xinlan was about to knock on the door when Shuiyu said, "My lady, Young Master Luo should be painting at this time. He doesn't like to be disturbed when he's painting. It's best to wait a while."

Guan Xinlan ignored her and knocked on the door directly.

But there was no response from inside. She waited for a while and then went to knock on the door again.

"It's better to wait a bit. He really doesn't like being disturbed when he's painting," Shuiyu said again, trying to stop him.

Guan Xinlan still ignored her and knocked on the door again.

The power of the secret guards in the ancestral court is even greater than that of the supervisory department. The supervisory department needs to find a reason to kill someone, but the secret guards only need to say that they endangered social security.

As the commander of the Dark Guard and a top expert of the Ninth Sense level, why would she need to wait to meet Luo Yuanfei, who is only at the Sixth Sense level?

Seeing that no one answered, Guan Xinlan knocked on the door again, and this time Shuiyu did not stop her.

"Since you're so eager to come in, then come in." A man's voice drifted out from the courtyard, sounding weak and listless, like that of a man severely depleted of his vital energy.

Guan Xinlan pushed open the courtyard gate without hesitation and went straight in.

The courtyard is simply furnished and looks very ordinary. There is no splendor or pavilions, just a simple courtyard with a lot of simple furniture.

However, the scene here made her feel very uncomfortable.

From her perspective, she could see a man sitting on a stool, painting on a canvas. Because the canvas was facing away from Guan Xinlan, she couldn't see what was painted on it.

But not far from the canvas, there was a naked, beautiful woman, who was now reclining on the sofa. She was clearly the man's model, and the man was painting her.

However, the man had already stopped painting and put the brush aside, looking at Guan Xinlan.

Guan Xinlan looked at the man and said, "Luo Yuanfei, I've come to ask you to kill someone."

"Who are you?" Luo Yuanfei asked only three words.

"Who I am doesn't matter. As long as you can complete the mission, you can get anything you want," Guan Xinlan said.

"It seems the person you're trying to kill is going to be difficult to kill," Luo Yuanfei laughed.

"Kill or not?" Guan Xinlan asked coldly.

"If I say I won't kill you, are you going to kill me?" Luo Yuanfei said, his fingers interlaced, his elbows resting on the table, his gaze peering through his fingers at Guan Xinlan.

"I only kill the guilty. Are you guilty?" Guan Xinlan said expressionlessly.

“Okay, I’ll help you kill him,” Luo Yuanfei said with a smile.

"What kind of reward do you want?" Guan Xinlan thought this was normal. She came to ask for someone, would anyone dare to refuse?
“I…want…you…” Luo Yuanfei’s eyes, peeking out from between his fingers, seemed to be filled with a smile.
