"Ah?!"
"Wu An, why did they all kneel down?"
Tang Qing blinked her big eyes, utterly confused!
Just now, she had seen with her own eyes those twenty-odd burly men rushing at Wu An suddenly kneel to the ground for no apparent reason!
And then,
Right after that!
That bald burly man had also somehow knelt down!
Not only that, he had kept begging Wu An for mercy!
Tang Qing had been dumbfounded ever since!
She had no idea why this had happened!
"Maybe they saw how righteous I was and were moved by me?"
Wu An joked!
He had merely said it offhandedly!
After all, he couldn't exactly tell Tang Qing it was because of Conqueror's Haki!
Never mind whether Tang Qing had watched that anime!
Even if she had, how was he supposed to explain why he could use a skill from an anime?
"So that's how it was?!"
Tang Qing actually believed him!
"I also think you have a special kind of aura about you, Wu An!"
Tang Qing's pretty face flushed as she looked at Wu An's handsome features and spoke softly!
Damn!
You actually believed that?
Wu An froze!
He had never expected Tang Qing to believe such a completely illogical excuse!
He had even prepared what he would say next!
Just waiting for Tang Qing to say she didn't believe him!
But in the end!
She really did believe him!
That caught Wu An completely off guard!
Tang Qing was one of the top students at First High School!
In every joint exam, she ranked in the top ten of the entire grade!
A sure candidate for a top university!
Why would she believe such a lame, overused excuse?
Wu An gave Tang Qing a suspicious look!
"Ah?!"
"Why are you looking at me?"
Tang Qing lowered her head and stared at her toes, her long eyelashes trembling constantly!
"Nothing!"
"Just looking."
Wu An smiled faintly!
Who cared why she believed him!
Wu An couldn't be bothered to figure it out!
A woman's heart was as unfathomable as the ocean floor!
Especially a young girl's!
Wu An didn't have the ability to understand what they were thinking!
"Wu An..."
"Do you have any contact information?"
"Let's add each other. If there are any problems I can't solve in the future, I can ask you!"
"QQ or WeChat is fine!"
Tang Qing gathered her courage and said!
"Sure!"
"Here's my QQ number. Just add me."
Wu An said casually!
It was only exchanging contact information!
Wu An didn't think much of it!
"Let's go. It's getting late!"
"Your parents will probably worry if you stay out this long!"
Wu An reminded her!
Soon, the two parted ways at an intersection!
Tang Qing's home was in the city center!
It was said that her family had considerable influence!
Her father was a high-ranking city official with real power!
Her mother ran a company, mainly in the clothing business!
"Wu An, if you ever get bored, you can come to my house and play with me!"
Tang Qing blushed, then ran off as if fleeing after saying that!
"Bored?"
"Go play at your house?"
"I have to take care of my little sister and travel through countless worlds. Do you think I'd have time to be bored?"
Wu An shook his head!
He felt Tang Qing had said something completely meaningless!
Besides, even if he really were bored!
Wu An would spend his time catching up on other anime, novels, and movies!
So he could prepare for future travels!
How could he possibly have time to visit some other girl's house to play?
Then,
Wu An headed home! As he passed a jewelry store, Wu An suddenly stopped!
"Should I exchange some of it for money?"
Wu An hesitated!
He had ten boxes of jewelry!
Each box was worth several billion!
"Forget it!"
"Yang Yan's matter already delayed me quite a bit today!"
"If I go exchange jewelry too, with appraisals and all that, it'll definitely waste a lot of time!"
"Nini will worry if I get home late!"
After pondering for a moment, Wu An gave up on the idea!
The jewelry was lying safely in the system space anyway!
No one but Wu An could take it!
Although he was short on money, he still had some savings!
He could hold out for the time being!
Having figured that out, Wu An turned and left!
Soon, Wu An arrived home!
The moment he entered, he smelled a fragrant aroma!
"Do we have company?"
Wu An paused!
That fragrance was clearly the smell of cooking!
"Big Brother, you're back!"
"Sister Qing is making something delicious!"
Nini bounced over and threw herself at him!
"So it's Sister Qing..."
Wu An understood and glanced toward the kitchen!
Sure enough, a graceful figure in an apron was busy inside!
"Wu An, you're back?"
"Try this young lady's cooking!"
Xu Qing brought over a plate of sweet and sour spare ribs!
At that moment, Xu Qing had her hair pinned up and wore an apron. Her figure was slender and perfect, and paired with her exquisite face, there was simply no man who could resist such temptation!
After all, in modern society, with all kinds of cosmetics, all sorts of beauties could be found!
But someone who was both beautiful and could cook was rare indeed!
Not to mention, Xu Qing was far more than merely pretty!
She was an absolute top-tier beauty!
"Thank you, Sister Qing!"
Wu An said gratefully!
After the Wu Family had fallen into decline, Xu Qing had truly helped him a great deal!
"Wu An, you?!"
Xu Qing glanced at Wu An and was immediately stunned!
She suddenly felt as though Wu An had become a different person!
This change wasn't outward!
It was in his aura!
It was as if, in the short span of a single day, Wu An had gained a unique kind of presence!
It was the first time Xu Qing had ever seen such an aura!
"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 still plenty left!"
Xu Qing smiled with pursed lips!
"Big Brother, today is Sister Qing's birthday!"
"Eat slowly!"
Nini said from the side!
"Birthday?"
Wu An froze!
"It's nothing, really. I rarely celebrate my birthday anymore!"
Xu Qing shook her head!
"Since it's Sister Qing's birthday, how can there be no birthday gift?"
Wu An smiled mysteriously!
"Sister Qing, wait here. I'll go get it from my room!"
After saying that, Wu An got up and returned to his room!
"You really don't need to!"
Xu Qing said helplessly!
She knew about Wu An's current situation!
It could be said that he was extremely strapped for cash!
But before she could finish speaking, Wu An had already entered his room!
"What should I give her?"
Wu An looked conflicted!
"Right, why not try this?!"
An idea struck Wu An!
The next moment, a deep-blue gemstone appeared in his hand!
Wu An had chosen this deep-blue gemstone from the ten boxes of jewelry!
"This one's pretty good!"
Wu An glanced at the sapphire, very satisfied!
Girls probably had little resistance to sparkling things like this!
It was perfect as a birthday gift!
But just as Wu An was about to go out and give the sapphire to Xu Qing!
"Ding... System notification..." "New mission available..." "One minute until traversal begins!"
A mission had arrived?
"Got it!"
Wu An narrowed his eyes!
Anyway, no matter how long passed in the other world, only an instant would pass in the modern world!
He could give it to Xu Qing after completing the mission!
"I wonder which world it'll be this time!"
Excitement appeared on Wu An's face!
"System, begin traversal!"
At once, a rainbow-colored space-time passage opened before Wu An!
"Other world, here I come!"
