The Sobs Behind the Door

Mu Ningxue's arrow hadn't killed Demon Silk Person and Half Man. It had merely frozen them, allowing the others to capture them alive.

Through Soul Interrogation, Dongfang Chen had also learned from the two where Su Lu was currently hiding.

As expected, just as everyone had suspected, Su Lu had taken refuge in Holy City.

Only Holy City could let Su Lu stay hidden without being discovered by Dongfang Chen's forces.

After returning to Athens City, everyone gathered at the hotel to discuss Su Lu.

"Since Su Lu still hasn't given up on the Black Dragon Emperor, I suggest we lure him out of Holy City," Lingling proposed.

"Why make things so complicated? Why not just attack them directly?" Dongfang Chen asked, sitting Lingling on his lap as he played with her twin ponytails.

Lingling gave a haughty snort. That annoying Apasi was asleep in Contract Space and, for once, hadn't come out to bother her. She'd generously let Dongfang Chen get a little handsy.

But the moment the thought crossed her mind, Apasi suddenly darted out of Dongfang Chen's Contract Space, as if she could read minds.

"Hm? Judging by your expression, did I interrupt something?" Apasi asked, looking smug.

"Though I'd quite like Big Brother to spank me, since we're discussing something important, I'll let this little beanpole off the hook for now." Apasi clung to Dongfang Chen's arm, pressing her little head against it.

"Hmph. I can't be bothered with a snake's servant either,"
