The car door opened.
A man walked down.
He was very tall and also very aloof.
He was wearing a black trench coat and his hair was slicked back and shiny.
His face seemed to have the words "Keep Out" written all over it.
As Bai Ziheng looked at this person, the background music from the "Young and Dangerous" movies inexplicably started playing in his head.
It was only a little past nine in the morning, but he walked with the air of someone stabbing someone on the streets of Mong Kok at two in the morning.
This guy's really putting on quite a show.
I just don't know if he's genuinely awesome or just faking it.
Bai Ziheng's gaze moved upwards, and then he froze.
It looked like there was something growing on the man's forehead.
It looks like a horn.
To be precise, the two horns grew together.
A thick horn protruded diagonally from the center of his forehead, and the horn forked halfway through.
Another horn grew from the branch that had forked out.
The whole shape looks like two deer antlers that didn't agree in the womb and ended up twisted together like a pretzel at birth.
Bai Ziheng's heart skipped a beat.
What kind of aesthetic sense is this?
He couldn't help himself and blurted it out.
"Hey buddy, why are your horns growing together? Did they grow crooked? Or is this the popular style where you're from?"
The man slowly turned his head, a slight, disdainful smile curving his lips.
He gave a cold laugh, his voice low and deep.
"Dragon Clan, Ao Lie."
He paused for a moment.
"Known in the martial arts world as the 'Horned Dragon'."
Before Bai Ziheng could continue his calculations, another person got out of the black car.
This time it was a woman.
She wore a neat ponytail.
He wore a pair of huge sunglasses that covered half of his face.
Wearing a black leather jacket and pants, she has a tall and slender figure and looks both cool and beautiful.
Bai Ziheng's eyes lit up.
This looks much more normal!
He nudged Luo Yao with his elbow: "Boss, this lady is clearly no ordinary person."
The woman had pointed ears. She tilted her head slightly, and a lazy smile curved her lips behind her sunglasses.
"Oh? You...have heard my story?"
No, not at all.
Bai Ziheng shook his head honestly.
"May I ask your honorable name?"
The woman turned around, clasped her hands in a respectful gesture towards the air, her posture impeccable and her demeanor extraordinary.
"I am from the Qingqiu Fox Clan."
She clasped her hands in a fist and faced the telephone pole.
Ao Lie sighed, raised his hand, and gently pushed San Yue's shoulder with two fingers, turning her orientation from the telephone pole to where Bai Ziheng and Luo Yao were standing.
"The person is there."
March remained expressionless and clasped his hands in a fist salute again, following the direction the other person had turned him around to.
"My apologies. I am from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and my name is Sanyue, also known in the martial arts world as—"
She raised her hand and slowly took off her sunglasses.
The air was quiet for a moment.
Bai Ziheng and Luo Yao's expressions gradually changed from indifference to confusion, and then from confusion to a state that was extremely difficult to describe.
In March, her left eyeball is tilted to the left and her right eyeball is tilted to the right, with each eyeball looking in completely unrelated directions.
His face conveyed a bewildering look that was unforgettable.
*Pfft*
Ao Lie was the first to lose his composure.
He covered his mouth, his shoulders shaking violently.
"As known in the martial arts world—"
March added earnestly.
"The Evil Eye Succubus means that anyone who looks into my eyes will immediately lose their fighting ability."
Bai Ziheng slowly put the cigarette back into his mouth and took a deep drag.
He tried to use nicotine to suppress his facial muscles, which were on the verge of going out of control.
So that's what you call a squinty-eyed person...
This is something that would make anyone lose their fighting spirit.
But it wasn't because he was bewitched; it was because he couldn't hold back anymore.
Before Bai Ziheng could catch his breath, the back door of the bread truck was kicked open from the inside with a "bang".
Two little girls hopped out from the left and right, and the moment they landed, they rushed towards Bai Ziheng.
They wore identical white dresses and had their hair tied in the same double ponytails, one with a light blue ribbon and the other with a purple ribbon.
She was small in stature, with a round face, and looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Sister, look at him!"
The one with the blue ribbon grabbed the sleeve of the one with the purple ribbon and pointed at Bai Ziheng, screaming.
"He's the man Qingyao was talking about!"
The two of them turned to Bai Ziheng at the same time, looked up, and shouted in unison.
"We are the snake demon race—"
The little girl with the blue ribbon raised her fist above her head and said, "My name is Xiao Qing!"
With her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, the girl in purple ribbon declared, "My name is Xiao Zi!"
"Hello, everyone." Bai Ziheng immediately put out his cigarette.
"Big brother, you're not as tall and strong as Sister Qingyao said."
"And it's not that strong, it feels so weak."
"Yeah, so weak~"
"Miscellaneous fish~ Miscellaneous fish~"
Hehe~
Bai Ziheng clenched his fists.
The two little snake demons were completely unaware that the man in front of them was visibly accumulating anger, and they were still jumping around him.
Luo Yao stood at the supermarket entrance, facing a cold, aloof dragon with its own background music, a fox demon with slanted eyes that seemed to be looking in different directions, and two little snake demons jumping around Bai Ziheng.
The morning light shone on the convenience store sign, creating a heartwarming scene reminiscent of a team-building event organized by a mental hospital.
She took a deep breath.
Then she raised her hand, pointed at the group of brilliant minds in front of her, and asked, word by word.
"You'd better give me an explanation as to why it was you lot who came."
In March, he immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed deeply.
His posture was impeccable, and his demeanor was extraordinary.
The only problem was that she was bowing to the trash can.
"It is so, Venerable One, our Master—"
"Hey, hey." Ao Lie reached out, pinched her shoulder with two fingers, and turned her around ninety degrees.
"The person is there."
Without changing his expression, he adjusted his orientation and continued to clasp his hands in greeting.
"My apologies, Your Excellency. It is like this: our Master has been very busy with official duties lately and is truly unable to get away."
Ao Lie nodded beside him, his expression still aloof.
"My master Qinghan said that a dragon is moving water in the North Sea, which has destroyed three bridges and flooded two towns. She has to go and clean up the mess."
March chimed in, her tone becoming increasingly solemn: "But Your Excellency, you have absolutely nothing to worry about!"
Xiaoqing hopped forward, put her hands on her hips, and the blue ribbon behind her head swung wildly.
"That's right! We are all top-tier experts in our race!"
Not to be outdone, Xiao Zi straightened her chest, and the purple ribbon almost lashed Xiao Qing's face.
"There's no one stronger than us! We are the most powerful disciples under our master!"
Bai Ziheng, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, looked at the four clowns in front of him.
A fox demon with slanted eyes, looking at himself, bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to the cat who had come out to watch the commotion.
A dragon whose horns have grown together.
Two little girls, barely taller than his shoulder, were jumping around shouting, "We're the strongest!"
He took the cigarette out of his mouth and turned to look at Luo Yao.
"Boss, what do you think?"
Luo Yao's lips were twitching visibly.
Looking at the group of people in front of her, the first thought that popped into her mind was...
I treat you all as best friends, but you treat me like a junkyard.
This is the network of connections she has built up over thousands of years.
This is what she calls "deep friendship between best friends".
"You guys."
Luo Yao spoke, her voice carrying a deliberately suppressed calm.
"When your master sent you here, did he say anything else?"
"Yes!" Xiaoqing raised her hand and jumped high.
"Master said!" Xiao Zi also raised her hand, jumping even higher than Xiao Qing.
The two said in unison, "Master said this is the best opportunity for you to gain experience in your lives! Following the Venerable One will guarantee you a limitless future!"
Ao Lie added coldly, "Master's original words were, 'Go broaden your horizons, don't just stay in the mountains all the time, or your horns will grow crooked.'"
In March, I bowed to the bread truck.
"My master also told me to see more of the outside world and not to always stay behind closed doors. She also said that I am intelligent and have a high level of comprehension, but I lack some... lack some practical experience."
Looking into her self-centered eyes, Bai Ziheng couldn't help but ask, "When your master said 'look at the outside world,' did he mean it literally?"
March nodded earnestly: "Yes."
Bai Ziheng felt he should say something.
He stubbed out his cigarette, walked over, and lowered his voice.
"Boss, how about we settle for second best? I think that horned dragon is at least a dragon, and that squinty-eyed guy would look decent enough if he brought his sunglasses back with him?"
"And those two kids... at least they're cute, they could keep things lively."
Luo Yao let out a long sigh.
"Let's go... to the basement first, let them show us their skills."
