Chapter 738: Chapter 207 A Twist of Fate Leads to a Meeting (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Xu Shu jumped off a building.
This sudden scene, let alone Mr. and Mrs. Zhou, who had not seen much in their lives, even Tang Ying was startled.
She hurriedly rushed to the window to look out and saw Xu Shu landing smoothly in the grass, creating a crater, and then with a roll, turning into a large rat scurrying toward a tricycle playing “Candied Fruit~” in a loop from a short distance away.
Seeing this, Tang Ying silently walked back.
Facing the puzzled looks of the elderly couple, she casually explained, “It’s ok, Uncle and Auntie, I’ll take you to the Judgement Department.”
“Oh? Good, good, thank you!”
With Xu Shu absent, Father and Mrs. Zhou were somewhat restrained in front of Tang Ying, a Transcendent.
Tang Ying glanced at the window, her bright eyes shifting slightly, she pursed her lips, her thoughts beginning to churn.
Director Xu’s speed was quite frightening, not at all like someone ‘on the path of the Warrior’.
But it was just to buy some candied fruit; was there a need to rush like that?
Was he trying to avoid me on purpose by doing this?
Do I, do I really annoy him that much?
Could it be that he looked down on me because I acted too casually, too frivolously last night?
No, Tang Ying, don’t think like that!
Director Xu is classified under “free action” personnel, and you are going straight to the vicinity of the Judgement Department. It’s completely normal for two people with different duty assignments to act separately!
Speaking of which, what was the deal with that orange cat…
Last night, I heard strange gasps coming from his room…
Could it be Director Xu has a thing for cats?
This, this is really possible!
No wonder he seemed disinterested in me… It’s not that I’m not good enough; he simply doesn’t like women?
But, but he was all over me just a while ago…
…
While waiting for the elevator to ascend, Tang Ying’s thoughts were tumultuous, filled with doubt and insecurity.
With a ‘ding’, the elevator arrived, interrupting her wildly off-track thoughts.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and two men in black suits and wearing sunglasses stepped out.
One of them was tall and serious-looking; the other was lean and tall with a frivolous smile on his lips.
“This getup, whose bodyguards are they?” Tang Ying felt a bit surprised.
This compound wasn’t particularly high-end, and the residents here typically wouldn’t need bodyguards.
But then she thought, since Xu Shu, a ‘High-level Prosecutor’, lived here, appearances could be deceiving.
After a brief exchange of glances and following the ‘departure before entering’ principle, Tang Ying stepped back slightly, giving way at the door, and only after the men walked out of the elevator did she enter it and pressed the button for the first floor.
As they crossed paths, the lean, tall man’s gaze fell on Tang Ying’s perfectly curved waist. He secretly licked the tip of his tongue and stealthily extended a long, invisible tendril, silently reaching out to Tang Ying’s waist, probing toward the sensitive areas of the woman.
Suddenly, he stiffened, unable to move a muscle.
The tall man next to him politely nodded towards Tang Ying and her companions, then stepped out of the elevator dragging his partner with him for a few steps.
Zzzzt.
With the closing of the elevator doors, a downward arrow appeared.
Only then did the tall man let go of his companion.
The lean man shook his stiff arms, still feeling unsatisfied, pouted, “Alynad, why are you always such a killjoy? That was a delicious virgin, and a rare Second Rank treasure at that! Didn’t Sarquis send you to create a hundred followers? Why are you coming to the Saintess’ house with me, ruining my fun?”
“Rashaim, I don’t want to see any more of your inappropriate behavior before noon today.”
Alynad suppressed the anger within and added an explanation:
“Your task is to guard the Saintess, ensuring that she successfully devours the last two portions of Life Essence at the moment the ritual begins, to complete the birth of the Divine Son; my task is to create a hundred followers. If you cause problems again and affect the mission, I won’t mind personally sending you back to our Lord’s embrace.”
“So why are you still here? Don’t you know to keep away from me?” Rashaim was still regretting missing out on his snack.
With a smile, Alynad said, “Hehe, weren’t you supposed to escort the Saintess to school? So why can’t we combine the two tasks? I think, the human children at the school are more suitable to become the Lord’s followers.”
“Tch, you don’t even spare children. Alynad, you truly are lower than a beast,” Rashaim sneered, casually picking out a few strands of fresh meat and tofu from between his teeth.
They arrived at the door across the hallway, extending two fingers, and knocked on the door in a rhythmic pattern.
Thud!
Thud, thud!
Thud, thud, thud!
Amidst the ongoing, repetitive knocking, a crack appeared as the door opened from the inside.
The one opening the door was a middle-aged woman, kneeling on the floor alongside her husband.
They appeared to be in their fifties, with heavy dark circles and bloodshot eyes.
With a solemn expression, Alynad declared:
“Today is a blessed day for the descent of our Lord, as she will receive eternal blessings and become the Divine Executor on earth;
“As her birth parents, you will be rewarded as well. Come with us and bear witness.”
After speaking, he placed his hands upon their heads.
They involuntarily let out a sigh of relief as all the small scars on their bodies healed, their skin became smooth and new, looking as though they had shed over ten years, and the fatigue accumulated in their bodies vanished, replaced by an unprecedented sense of refreshment and contentment.
