"Ah?!"
"Wu An, why did they all kneel down?"
Tang Qing blinked her large eyes, looking puzzled.
Just a moment ago, she had witnessed with her own eyes those dozen or so burly men charging toward Wu An, only to inexplicably drop to their knees!
Furthermore, Right after!
That bald, burly man, for reasons unknown, had also knelt down!
Not only that, but he kept begging Wu An for mercy!
This had left Tang Qing completely bewildered until now!
She had absolutely no idea why this was happening!
"Perhaps they saw my aura of righteousness and were moved by it?"
Wu An joked.
He was just saying it off the cuff!
After all, he couldn't exactly tell Tang Qing the truth—that it was because of Conqueror's Haki!
Not to mention whether Tang Qing had even watched that anime!
Even if she had, how would he explain why he possessed a skill from a cartoon?
"So that's how it is?!"
Yet, Tang Qing actually took it seriously!
"I also feel like you have a special temperament about you, Wu An!"
Tang Qing's pretty face flushed, and she whispered while looking at Wu An's handsome features.
Damn!
You actually believe that?
Wu An was stunned!
He never expected that Tang Qing would truly believe such an illogical excuse!
He had even prepared everything he was going to say next!
He was just waiting for her to say she didn't believe him!
As it turned out!
She actually believed it!
This caught Wu An completely off guard!
This Tang Qing was a top student at First High School!
In every joint exam, she consistently ranked in the top ten of the entire grade!
She was a guaranteed candidate for a top-tier university!
Why would she believe such a cliché excuse?
Wu An cast a suspicious glance at Tang Qing.
"Ah?!"
"Why are you looking at me?"
Tang Qing lowered her head, staring at her toes, her long eyelashes trembling incessantly.
"It's nothing!"
"Just looking!"
Wu An smiled nonchalantly.
Whatever the reason she believed it!
Wu An couldn't be bothered to figure it out.
A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea!
Especially a young girl's!
Wu An didn't have the ability to fathom what was going on in their minds!
"Wu An..."
"Do you have any contact information?"
"Let's add each other; if I have any problems I can't solve in the future, I can come find you!"
"Feiniao or Lianxun both work!"
Tang Qing mustered up her courage to say.
"Fine!"
"This is my Flying Bird, just add me!"
Wu An said, not caring in the slightest.
It was just adding a contact, after all.
Wu An didn't think much of it.
"Let's go, it's getting late."
"Your parents will probably be worried if you don't go back for so long," Wu An reminded her.
Soon, the two parted ways at an intersection.
Tang Qing lived in the city center.
It was said that her family had a very strong background.
Her father was a high-ranking official with real power in the city.
Her mother ran a company, primarily dealing in the garment industry.
"Classmate Wu An, if you're bored in the future, you can come to my house to hang out!"
Tang Qing blushed, and after saying this, she left as if fleeing.
"Bored?"
"Go to your house to hang out?"
"I have to take care of my little sister and travel through the myriad worlds; do you think I'd have time to be bored?"
Wu An shook his head.
He felt that Tang Qing had said something completely meaningless.
Besides, even if he were truly bored, Wu An would rather catch up on other anime, novels, and movies.
He had to prepare for his future travels.
How could he possibly have time to run off to some young girl's house to hang out?
With that, Wu An walked in the direction of the Chao Family.
As he passed a jewelry store, Wu An suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Should I exchange some money?"
Wu An hesitated.
He had ten chests of jewelry, after all.
Each chest was worth billions.
"Better not."
"I've already wasted a lot of time today because of Yang Yan's business."
"If I go to exchange jewelry, the appraisal process and such will definitely be a huge waste of time."
"If I get back late, Nini will worry."
Wu An pondered for a moment and ultimately abandoned the idea.
The jewelry was sitting in his system space anyway.
No one could take it except for Wu An.
Although he was short on money, he still had some savings.
He could afford to wait for a little while.
Having figured this out, Wu An turned and left.
Soon, Wu An arrived home.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he smelled a fragrance.
"Did someone come over?"
Wu An was stunned for a moment.
This fragrance was clearly the smell of cooking.
"Brother, you're back!"
"Sister Qing is making something delicious!"
Nini hopped and skipped over to him.
"So it's Sister Qing..."
Wu An realized, glancing toward the kitchen.
Sure enough, a graceful figure was busy at work, wearing an apron!
"Wu An is back?"
"Taste this young lady's cooking!"
Xu Qing brought over a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs!
At this moment, with her hair tied up and wearing an apron, Xu Qing's slender and perfect figure, combined with her exquisite face, meant there was simply no man who could resist such temptation!
After all, in today's society, all sorts of beauties appear thanks to various cosmetics!
But to be both beautiful and capable of cooking was a rare find indeed!
What's more, Xu Qing was far more than just beautiful!
She was a top-tier beauty!
"Thank you, Sister Qing!"
Wu An said gratefully!
After the Wu Family fell into decline, Xu Qing had truly helped him a great deal!
"Wu An, you...?!"
Xu Qing took one look at Wu An and was instantly stunned!
She suddenly felt as if Wu An had become a completely different person!
This change did not belong to his outward appearance!
Rather, it was in his temperament!
It was as if, in this short day, a special aura had emerged from Wu An!
It was a temperament Xu Qing had never encountered before!
"Sister Qing, I'm going to start eating!"
Wu An said with a smile!
Then, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat!
"Eat slowly, there's plenty left!"
Xu Qing smiled, pursing her lips!
"Brother, today is Sister Qing's birthday!"
"Eat slowly!"
Nini said from the side!
"Birthday?"
Wu An was taken aback!
"Actually, it's nothing; I rarely celebrate birthdays anymore!"
Xu Qing shook her head!
"Since it's Sister Qing's birthday, how could I possibly go without a birthday gift?"
Wu An smiled mysteriously!
"Sister Qing, wait here, I'll go to my room and get it!"
After saying this, Wu An stood up and headed to his room!
"Actually, you really don't have to!"
Xu Qing said helplessly!
She knew Wu An's current situation!
It could be said that he was very strapped for cash!
However, before she could finish, Wu An had already entered his room!
"What should I give her?"
Wu An looked conflicted!
"Right, how about this?!"
A thought struck Wu An!
The next moment, a deep blue gemstone appeared in his hand!
This deep blue gemstone was one Wu An had selected from the ten chests of jewelry!
"This is quite nice!"
Wu An glanced at the blue sapphire, feeling very satisfied!
Presumably, girls had no resistance to such shiny things!
It was just right to use as a birthday gift!
But, just as Wu An was preparing to go out and give the sapphire to Xu Qing!
"Ding... System prompt..."
"You have a new mission..."
"In one minute, you will begin to shuttle!"
A mission?
"Understood!"
Wu An's eyes narrowed!
After all, no matter how much time passed in the other world, in the urban world, time was just a blink of an eye!
He could give it to Xu Qing after completing the mission!
"I wonder which world it will be this time!"
Excitement appeared on Wu An's face!
"System, begin shuttle!"
Instantly, a seven-colored spacetime tunnel opened before Wu An!
"Otherworld, here I come!"
