Liu Chuang was about to have Sky Dragon turn around and leave.
"Stop." A seductive voice rang out. "Judging by your expression, you know me?" Morgana asked in that uniquely alluring voice of hers.
Cold sweat beaded on Liu Chuang's forehead. You've got to be kidding. Those signature huge breasts, those huge wings, and that smoky makeup were all clearly listed in Hyperion's database. How could I not recognize her?
"Queen, Queen, who are you? I don't know you. My dad told me to go home, so bye." After saying that, Liu Chuang turned to enter the wormhole.
How could Morgana possibly let Liu Chuang get away like that?
A pair of enormous steel hands reached for Liu Chuang. At that moment, a crescent moon appeared within the wormhole and struck the steel hands with a loud clang.
"Fuck, what is this thing? Earth has weapons like this too? Bitch." Even as Morgana spoke, she swiftly controlled the steel hands to grab Liu Chuang.
But in that instant, Liu Chuang had already entered the wormhole.
The moon wheel struck again, knocking the steel hands away before vanishing into the wormhole.
At the wormhole entrance, Su Jiu was also covered in cold sweat as he watched the moon wheel return. "Chuang Zi, how did you run into that Demon Queen? If you hadn't messaged me in the private chat channel, you would've been in real danger this time."
Liu Chuang wiped away his cold sweat. "Holy shit! That scared me to death. If your moon wheel hadn't arrived in time, I really would've been screwed."
Su Jiu let out a breath. "All right, we got away quickly this time. Be more careful next time. Get stronger already, then go up there and chop that bitch to death."
Sky Dragon howled from the side as well.
Su Jiu patted Sky Dragon. "All right, all right, I know. You're strong too. You can join the next fight."
Elsewhere, Morgana looked at the steel hands that had been knocked aside and the vanished wormhole. "A Tuo, investigate where this unknown civilization came from."
"Yes, Queen." A Tuo's reply through Dark Dimension communications was brief and clear.
That had been a close call. He would need to be more careful next time. He still wasn't strong enough! Su Jiu thought.
After Liu Chuang returned, he kept going on about Morgana this and Morgana that, insisting on dragging Su Jiu out for drinks to calm their nerves.
Su Jiu rolled his eyes. "Chuang Zi, you know I'm done after three bottles. Do you want me rolling around on the floor?"
Liu Chuang grabbed Su Jiu. "Three bottles? Then just drink two. Come on, come on, come on." With that, Liu Chuang dragged the still-struggling Su Jiu off Hyperion.
At a cozy little restaurant in Tianhe City, Liu Chuang pulled Su Jiu through the door. Sharp-eyed Su Jiu spotted an interesting sight.
He immediately grabbed Liu Chuang. Liu Chuang was about to say something, but Su Jiu covered his mouth and pointed toward a table in the corner of the restaurant.
Liu Chuang took a look, rubbed his eyes, then looked again. He whispered, "Zhao Yun? Zhao Wai Gua? Holy shit, he's chatting up a girl. Let's go."
Su Jiu and Liu Chuang quietly slipped over to the table behind them to eavesdrop.
"Miss Ouyang, since you're treating me to dinner this time, we're even over me saving you last time," Zhao Yun said to Ouyang Nasa.
Ouyang Nasa took out a small notebook and wrote, "Mr. Zhao, thank you for this time. If it weren't for you, I would have died on that mountain."
Zhao Yun took the notebook and read it. "No need to thank me. You've thanked me plenty of times already. Saving a life is more virtuous than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, you're just a defenseless girl."
Ouyang Nasa continued writing, "Mr. Zhao is very great." She wanted to write more, but she could not continue. She did not know what else to write.
When Zhao Yun saw that, he did not know what to say either.
At that moment, Liu Chuang swaggered over to Zhao Yun's table and said, "Miss, did Zhao Yun bully you? Tell your big brother here, and I'll beat him up for you."
Ouyang Nasa looked at Liu Chuang with a face full of question marks.
Who are you?
What are you talking about?
And who said you were my big brother?
Pah.
That was what Ouyang Nasa was thinking at that moment.
When Zhao Yun saw Liu Chuang, he said, "Liu Da Zao, why are you here? Were you following me?"
Liu Chuang looked at Zhao Yun as if he were an idiot. "Ever heard of a chance encounter? Besides, who has nothing better to do than follow you around?"
Zhao Yun looked at Liu Chuang strangely. "Then how did you get here?"
Liu Chuang gestured with his lips. "Look behind you. Xiao Jiu's here too."
Zhao Yun turned and saw Su Jiu standing behind him. Su Jiu scratched his head awkwardly. "Chuang Zi insisted on dragging me out for drinks. We picked this restaurant, and I didn't expect you to be here too."
When Zhao Yun saw Su Jiu, he said, "Captain, you came too."
Su Jiu ignored Zhao Yun and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him. "Miss, you don't mind if we share your table, do you?"
Ouyang Nasa hurriedly picked up her notebook and wrote, "I don't mind."
Su Jiu looked at it and said, "Come on, let's get a private room upstairs. Why sit out in the main hall? It's a bit noisy too."
Liu Chuang immediately chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go upstairs to a private room." After saying that, Liu Chuang found a waiter and switched them to a private room.
Once they reached the private room, Su Jiu welcomed Ouyang Nasa. "Sit... sit down. Don't be shy, miss. Also, what's your name? We can't keep calling you miss forever, right?"
Ouyang Nasa was a little reserved. She picked up her notebook and wrote four large characters.
Su Jiu took a look. "Nice name."
Liu Chuang ordered from the side, pointing all over the menu. "One of this, this, this, and this. Also, a case of Lao Bai Gan and three bottles of beer." Once he finished ordering, Liu Chuang handed the menu to Ouyang Nasa.
Ouyang Nasa pushed the menu back, indicating that anything was fine with her.
Liu Chuang thought that would not do at all and insisted that Ouyang Nasa order a few dishes.
Left with no choice, Ouyang Nasa symbolically ordered two dishes and a bottle of Wang Zai.
Throughout the whole process, Liu Chuang and Su Jiu handled everything. Zhao Yun wanted to say something several times, but Liu Chuang or Su Jiu interrupted him each time.
Soon, the dishes arrived, and Liu Chuang started drinking with Zhao Yun.
Liu Chuang picked up some food with his chopsticks and said, "Zhao Wai Gua, you have no idea! I almost didn't make it back today."
Zhao Yun clearly did not believe him. "I don't believe a single punctuation mark of what you say."
Liu Chuang downed a huge gulp of Lao Bai Gan. "Believe it or not, I'm back now. But what's going on with Ouyang Nasa? How did you manage to hook up with such a beautiful girl?"
Ouyang Nasa's face immediately turned red when she heard that.
Zhao Yun did not notice. He clinked glasses with Liu Chuang and said, "I saved her in the mountains."
Liu Chuang and Zhao Yun were both drinkers. After a few cups, they really got talking.
Su Jiu took a sip of beer, looked at Ouyang Nasa, and said, "You like Zhao Yun."
Ouyang Nasa's face instantly flushed bright red. She wrote, "No," in her notebook, then glanced at Zhao Yun before quietly passing it to Su Jiu.
Su Jiu took a glance and said, "I'll pass it to Zhao Yun and let him see."
Panicked, Ouyang Nasa quickly wrote another line of tiny words and handed it to Su Jiu.
It read: "Don't... don't (_)"
Su Jiu chuckled. "And you still say it isn't true."
Su Jiu took Ouyang Nasa's notebook and pen, then wrote, "If you like him, go for it! If you like him, pursue him! If you don't tell Zhao Yun, he'll never speak up. If you don't even dare make a move, what kind of liking is that?" Once he finished, Su Jiu handed it to Ouyang Nasa.
Ouyang Nasa nodded when she saw it.
Seeing that, Su Jiu thought, As expected of a girl from the twenty-first century! She's even more proactive than us guys.
Liu Chuang and Su Jiu exchanged a glance. Liu Chuang saw Su Jiu's OK gesture and nodded.
After thinking it over for a long time, I decided to add another plot segment and create a character.
I'm sure everyone already knows who the supporting character is, right?
If I summon them now, the power system will become a mess. This story is still in its early stages. If it were the middle stage, I would directly introduce summoning. After all, Valoran's power system is very strong.
