King of Assassins-Chapter 166 - 159 Gifts

The Celestial Water Performance Hall stands like a giant metal coconut by the Celestial Water Riverfront.

The woven appearance of silvery metal possesses the precise beauty of modern industry.

The design concept of the Celestial Water Performance Hall is very simple and modern, making the most efficient use of space, with a capacity to hold 500,000 spectators.

Various major sports events, performances, and large-scale activities in Mingjing City are held at the Celestial Water Performance Hall.

Because Luojia is coming to hold a concert, Zhengqi Hall invested a large amount of money to repair and organize the performance hall.

It is also for this reason that Bai Yutang became acquainted with Jiang Haoran.

Bai Yutang initially found Jiang Haoran quite good, with a lot of potential for development. But then she met Gao Xuan.

At first, Bai Yutang just wanted to recruit Gao Xuan into the organization, so she used a little charm as bait. Unexpectedly, she fell genuinely in love with Gao Xuan.

Bai Yutang often reflects on whether she’s a bit out of her mind for falling in love with an eighteen-year-old boy.

But each reflection only strengthens her belief that she isn’t wrong. Is there anyone in this world more worth loving than Gao Xuan? No, there isn’t!

Bai Yutang doesn’t know why her thoughts are so scattered today. Sitting on the flying ship overlooking the huge performance hall, so many thoughts arise.

Once the flying ship landed at the center of the performance hall, Bai Yutang adjusted her emotions before leading her assistant out of the ship.

The stage had long been set up, and various sound and projection equipment were installed.

Even the fireworks meant to energize the atmosphere were also ready.

The powerful Light Computer serves as the main control, conducting tens of billions of simulations to ensure no issues in any environment.

When Bai Yutang arrived, the band was tuning their instruments, making the best preparations.

Luojia wasn’t there; a stern-faced middle-aged man holding a Little White Pig was waiting for her.

This middle-aged man wasn’t tall, pallid as paper, with pupils that were just tiny black dots. Anyone would be startled by his eyes.

Bai Yutang knew this man was called Ice Sea and was Luojia’s assistant. Presumably, he was also a very formidable expert.

How formidable exactly, Bai Yutang couldn’t say. At the very least, he was stronger than her.

Bai Yutang wasn’t surprised by this, as Luojia was, after all, the president, and having two experts to protect her was quite normal.

When Ice Sea saw Bai Yutang, his eyes moved slightly, probably indicating he had noticed Bai Yutang.

Instead, the Little White Pig opened its mouth and said, "Deacon Bai, you’re late."

Bai Yutang bowed slightly, "Sorry, something delayed me."

The Little White Pig said, "I’m taking people down to inspect the security situation. Come along."

Bai Yutang nodded and followed Ice Sea’s group into the underground passages of the hall.

The underground of the performance hall also has a vast space, including an underground commercial center with malls, restaurants, and various entertainment venues. Further down is an underground parking lot and so on.

The entire underground space is enormous, with a complex structure.

The Little White Pig tirelessly delved into the drainage passages below, wandering around for several hours.

When the Little White Pig emerged, it had turned into a filthy pig covered in sewage.

Exhausted, the Little White Pig snorted repeatedly, its four hooves swollen from running.

The drainage passages connect to the entire Underworld, with interwoven paths.

Luckily, its sense of smell worked well, and within a few hours, it had scoured the area thoroughly, searching every dangerous spot.

As long as the Blood Shadow planted a nuclear bomb in this region, it would surely notice. No marvels could conceal it.

Through a special ritual, the Little White Pig temporarily marked the performance hall as a forbidden zone. Any marvels operating in this area would draw its attention.

Not finding any nuclear bomb, the Little White Pig was a bit surprised. Normally, the other party should have pre-placed the nuclear bomb.

"Maybe the Blood Shadow won’t come..."

The Little White Pig thought Luojia might have guessed wrong, but it was better if the Blood Shadow didn’t come. That guy never missed a target and was as unpredictable as a ghost.

Such an enemy is best avoided.

The Little White Pig washed up, then went to report to Luojia.

By this time, the sky had darkened. The performance hall wasn’t lit, with only the dazzling lights on the stage shining.

Luojia was at the microphone but wasn’t singing; instead, she was fiddling with her drawing board, nobody knew what she was sketching.

The Little White Pig, seeing that they were surrounded by their own, floated and flew to Luojia’s side.

From this height, it saw a mass of blood-colored flames depicted on the drawing board. The roaring flames somewhat resembled a bizarre eye.

This symbol was the mark of the Master of Blood.

Every follower of the Master of Blood bore this mark.

Due to the notorious reputation of the Blood God Cult, this mark also became a taboo of sorts.

The blood-colored flames in the painting exuded a thick Source Power, encompassing the entire stage.

The Little White Pig curiously asked, "Great master, are you going to perform a sacrifice?"

Luojia put down her brush and said calmly, "Wasn’t it you who suggested a blood sacrifice?"

The Little White Pig chuckled dryly, "But the sacrificial offering hasn’t arrived yet."

Luojia said indifferently, "If Gao Xuan doesn’t come, then you’ll be sacrificed to our Lord."

The Little White Pig shivered in fear, hurriedly raising its chubby hooves to plead, "Great master, as you can see, I’ve been running all afternoon without rest, and my hooves are swollen. It was all to ensure your safety..."

Luojia glanced at it, and sure enough, the pig’s hoof was swollen a lot. She said with a smile, "So you’re really working hard, huh."

"Not hard at all, not hard at all, I’m serving my master, I wouldn’t regret it even if I died."

Little White Pig hurriedly shook its pig head to pledge loyalty, its voice very loud.

The band members and staff around them were all busy, not paying Little White Pig any attention.

They were all core members of the Blood God Association and knew Little White Pig’s identity. To them, it was all commonplace.

Little White Pig continued to boast, "Great Master, I’ve checked everything and eliminated all safety hazards. As long as Blood Shadow dares to come, I’ll spot his tracks immediately."

Luojia didn’t take it seriously, "Blood Shadow is very smart and cunning, it’s normal to not find the nuclear bomb. However, he will definitely come."

Luojia was very confident about this.

Blood Shadow was her fated strong enemy. This trip to Mingjing City, Blood Shadow would definitely appear.

Little White Pig muttered, "This Blood Shadow has a problem in his head, why must he oppose us?"

"The reason is not important."

Luojia couldn’t figure out the reason either, but it wasn’t important. What was important was how to kill Blood Shadow and destroy this fated strong enemy.

For this, Luojia had also made ample preparation. Regardless of how many schemes Blood Shadow had, as long as he dared to show up, he was doomed to die.

Luojia was even somewhat impatient; she hoped Blood Shadow could put on an exciting performance, not to let her many preparations down.

"Now I just hope Blood Shadow can be even more powerful, stronger, wiser, killing such a strong enemy would have a greater sense of achievement."

Little White Pig hurriedly flattered, "Great invincible master, all humans in the world can only kneel at your feet. What Blood Shadow, he’s just a sneaky thing hiding in the dark, ultimately will be crushed to death by the great master with one foot!"

"You don’t understand, things that are too easy to do are very uninteresting."

Luojia sighed lightly, "Humans are really too stupid, it’s boring to kill them."

Little White Pig was about to flatter further but saw a flying ship descending from above.

Its small bean eyes flashed with excitement, "Bai Yutang is here. Master, how do you want to play with them?"

It pleaded in a low voice, "Master, can I have Gao Xuan’s head? I want to gnaw his face to pieces. Let him show off."

Little White Pig said fiercely, "And in front of Bai Yutang, let her see Gao Xuan’s ugly, bloody look."

Luojia glanced at Little White Pig, "You really hold a big grudge."

She paused and said, "But this idea is not bad. Bai Yutang falls in love because of appearance. If Gao Xuan becomes an ugly corpse, will she still love him?"

Little White Pig gave a sinister laugh, "First let Gao Xuan suffer and struggle, let Bai Yutang be heartbroken. Then gnaw off Gao Xuan’s head, making Bai Yutang utterly despair. Just hope Bai Yutang can hold on, giving us a brilliant performance..."

Luojia smiled slightly, "I’m looking forward to it too."

Descending from the flying ship, Bai Yutang led Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang onto the stage.

When Gao Xuan and the others came closer, Luojia couldn’t help but show a look of admiration.

Gao Xuan’s mid-length messy hair bangs, wearing black sunglasses, almost covered half his face. Even so, the lines of his features were still astonishingly beautiful.

He wore a gray and white Chinese style casual outfit with an exotic Vajra Bodhi bead string hanging from his chest. His slender figure highlighted his graceful elegance and youthful vigor.

The exquisitely charming Bai Yutang became an accompaniment standing next to Gao Xuan.

Anyone taking a look would surely notice Gao Xuan first. After that, they wouldn’t pay attention to anyone else.

Including band members, staff, etc., everyone’s gaze naturally focused on Gao Xuan.

Luojia nodded approvingly, "Indeed a peerless beautiful youth, I thought of an ancient poem: ’The gentleman is unparalleled in the world.’ Truly fitting for Gao Xuan."

She said somewhat wistfully, "Such a wonderful youth, I’m almost reluctant."

Little White Pig got a bit anxious, hurriedly advising, "Precisely because Gao Xuan is so uniquely rare, he’s perfect as a sacrifice. The Divine Lord will definitely be interested in him."

Luojia said, amused, "You have great malice toward Gao Xuan; how did he provoke you?"

"Gao Xuan didn’t provoke me. I’m just thinking for the master, with total sincerity."

Little White Pig said aggrievedly, "No matter how handsome Gao Xuan is, what does it have to do with a pig."

"It seems you like Bai Yutang."

Luojia said, smiling, "Even after turning into a pig you’re this lecherous, it seems I should castrate you."

"Master, I’m very honest."

It seemed Luojia was joking, but Little White Pig didn’t dare to take it as a joke, as Luojia’s mood was unpredictable; she might really castrate it.

Little White Pig hurriedly reasoned, "Master, castrating will cause dripping urine, it’s too unhygienic."

"Just joking with you, no need to panic, haha..."

Luojia waved her hand, indicating Little White Pig not to get excited.

Bai Yutang also brought Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang onto the stage. The three of them arrived before Luojia, and Bai Yutang respectfully saluted, "Ms. Luo, this is my friend Gao Xuan, Yun Qingshang, they are both your fans."

Gao Xuan flashed a bright smile at Luojia, "Idol, I prepared a gift for you."

On stage, many band members, staff, including Ice Sea, were all attracted by Gao Xuan’s sunny and bright smile.

Such a charming youth, his smile also had a special appeal.

Many people showed pity in their eyes, unfortunately, such a wonderful youth is soon going to die!
