The Dragon King's Return - Eve

Security guard?

For the first time, Virgo felt a bit speechless. The Black Palace's base needed a security guard?

Still, every member of the Black Palace had to have a public-facing identity.

"Fine, security guard it is..." Virgo waved a hand and went back to cleaning.

Just then, Wang Hao spoke up. "Can I use the rag on the table?"

"Go ahead." Virgo didn't even look up.

In an instant, Wang Hao was at the bar. He grabbed the rag by one corner and started scrubbing furiously at a tiny stain on the surface.

Virgo heard the commotion and lifted her head, then slowly tilted it.

What was this man doing?

Wang Hao's eyes swept across every table in the tavern. Whenever he frowned, it meant he'd spotted a stain.

Next, Virgo watched as Wang Hao scrubbed hard here, scrubbed hard there.

Up and down, left and right.

In less than an hour, Virgo covered her eyes.

So... so shiny!

She never imagined that the scene from movies and anime—where someone polishes a room until it gleams—could happen in real life!

Wang Hao looked at the spotless tavern and finally cracked a smile.

"Do you... have OCD?" Virgo asked curiously. Among the Black Palace, she was the one with the worst cleanliness obsession.

That was also why she volunteered to handle the cleaning.

"A little." Wang Hao replied calmly.

Virgo glanced at the blindingly clean tavern and couldn't help but twitch her mouth.

You call that a little?

"From now on, besides security, you can also handle the cleaning." Virgo continued sweeping with her broom.

Wang Hao simply walked over to the door and stood at attention, his posture straight.

He seemed to be taking his duties seriously.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Junyi and Wan Qingyun had already returned to the study from the courtyard. Wan Qingyun was drafting some business plans.

Bored, Jiang Junyi played games on the side, occasionally letting out frustrated noises.

Wan Qingyun didn't find it annoying. In fact, she quite liked the atmosphere.

Ding~ The Pure Love target really enjoys the current atmosphere! Pure Love Points +1 continuously~

Jiang Junyi, mid-game, froze. So physical contact wasn't the only way to generate Pure Love Points—emotional resonance worked too?

He rubbed his chin. If that was the case, he had a lot more room to maneuver.

He put down his phone and looked at Wan Qingyun, who was focused on her work. Her stunning, cool profile made his heart race.

He quickly turned away and patted his cheeks.

His heart was restless. Right now, Jiang Junyi wanted nothing more than to pull Wan Qingyun into his arms and cherish her.

But if he actually did that, he'd probably scare her off.

He forced himself to calm down and pulled up the panel.

The Pure Love Points had already reached 200.

The shop icon, previously grayed out, was now blinking.

System, what's going on?

Jiang Junyi was puzzled.

Ding~ Detected initial romantic interest from the Pure Love target. Shop unlocked~

Jiang Junyi nodded thoughtfully. So there were hidden attributes like this.

He looked at Wan Qingyun, completely absorbed in her work, and broke into a knowing grin. So you're already a little interested, huh. Heh.

He rolled around on the sofa. Wan Qingyun heard the noise, glanced over curiously, shook her head, and went back to work.

She had no idea what Jiang Junyi was up to, but she figured it was probably something weird again.

After letting off some steam, Jiang Junyi opened the shop.

Maybe because the level of affection wasn't high yet, the shop didn't have many items on display.

God-tier Foot Massage Technique: 100 Pure Love Points

Collection of Cheesy Love Lines: 10 Pure Love Points

Hormone Fruit: 50 Pure Love Points

Only these three for now.

Jiang Junyi rubbed his chin. God-tier Foot Massage Technique?

He glanced at Wan Qingyun's fair, delicate calves and the white socks rising above her ankles.

Slurp.

Jiang Junyi quickly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth. How embarrassing.

But still—swap! He had to fucking swap!

Ding~ God-tier Foot Massage Technique, redeemed!

After the redemption, Jiang Junyi saw the skill's description.

God-tier Foot Massage Technique: Your understanding of footwork has reached the transcendent realm. Even a pair of numb, senseless legs will feel your technique! (Friendly tip: This method can nourish your Pure Love target's paralyzed legs, preserving their vitality!)

Heh, heheheh!

Jiang Junyi let out a strange laugh, making Wan Qingyun's skin crawl from where she sat not far away.

Wan Qingyun frowned and looked at Jiang Junyi. What the hell is this guy up to now?

"What are you doing?" she couldn't help asking.

"Ahem, nothing. You go ahead, you go ahead." Jiang Junyi coughed twice and wiped the smile off his face.

"Really?" Wan Qingyun was suspicious. She felt like Jiang Junyi was harboring some bad intentions.

"Really, really," Jiang Junyi replied quickly.

He thought it over. Now wasn't the best opportunity yet.

Today's moves were enough. He felt that if he tried to give Wan Qingyun a massage right now, she'd probably break down completely.

Ding-dong~ You have a new classified document!

Jiang Junyi saw an exclamation mark appear on his system panel.

Frowning, he opened the File Repository. A classified document appeared.

Generally speaking, the appearance of a classified document meant something bad was about to happen.

D-Level Classified Document "The Dragon King's Return - Eve": 100 Pure Love Points

Jiang Junyi was glad he hadn't used up all his Pure Love Points just now. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to check it in time.

"Redeem!"

He chanted silently in his mind.

After the redemption, Jiang Junyi opened it—

The three-year deadline is approaching, and the Dragon King is about to return.

Due to your interference, the super-villainess Wan Qingyun's corruption was not thorough enough. Thus, the world's correction force has begun to activate.

Your sister-in-law will encounter the Dragon King's fiancée's younger brother—the Dragon King's Brother-in-law—today.

He is a playboy of Jiang City, relying on his family's influence to frequently bully men and abduct women.

This time, his sights are set on Wan Xiaoxiao...

Blocked by the world's power, the time, location, and related names cannot be obtained for now. Host, please make preparations early!

Jiang Junyi's brow furrowed tightly. This can involve the Dragon King Hall too... No, maybe Qingyun was always standing opposite these Sons of Destiny.

He checked the time. 4:30.

Shit!

Jiang Junyi's expression shifted drastically. He asked hurriedly, "Qingyun! What time does Wan Xiaoxiao get out of school?"

Wan Qingyun put down the document in her hand, puzzled. "Five. Why?"

Jiang Junyi took a deep breath to calm himself. He didn't want Wan Qingyun to worry. "Nothing. I want to smooth things over with Wan Xiaoxiao. I'll go pick her up."

Wan Qingyun paused slightly. "Okay."

But she felt it wasn't that simple. Jiang Junyi's tone just now was clearly rushed, like he was hurrying to do something.

"I'm off. Be back soon~"

Jiang Junyi clattered out of the study.

Wan Qingyun's delicate brows knitted. "Capricorn."

A shadow rippled from the floor, and Capricorn's figure emerged. "My master."

"Follow him and see."

"Yes. Should I kill that insolent lecher on the spot if convenient?"

"What... the hell? I'm telling you to protect him!"

"Understood."
