Twisted Dreams
Chapter 448 - 516: Kindness
South Sea, old town, Locust Flower Alley.
The weather is getting cooler, and snow is starting to fall.
Li Yang bought an umbrella from a small shop, shielding himself while snowflakes landed on the umbrella.
Originally, Li Yang liked getting rained on and loved the snow.
In his view, whether it’s strolling in the rain or walking under the snow, it’s all very romantic.
But, after his grandmother passed away, leaving him alone and destitute, many unbearable things happened to him.
Perhaps because of this, he didn’t want to appear disheveled.
Look, after becoming wealthy, the first thing Li Yang did was to get himself some new outfits.
As he became increasingly wealthy, money gradually turned into a number, and he continued to love luxury brands.
He also found that those who are wealthy have quite a few quirks.
For instance, the true wealthy never wear purple, the true wealthy love Chevrolets, and the true wealthy prefer custom-made items.
Yet, no matter how wealthy he gets, Li Yang just loves big brands.
It’s a bit tacky, but he just likes it.
When people have money, shouldn’t they do something they like?
The sky is slightly gloomy, as Li Yang walks under his umbrella amid heavy snowfall, and the joys and sorrows of the mortal world, heading towards his small pharmacy.
His face showed no expression, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
Reaching the door of the pharmacy, Li Yang put away his umbrella, carefully placing it upright by the door, and entered the pharmacy.
He turned on the yellow lamp and sat at the counter reading a book.
In this pharmacy, he can smell the scent of smoke and fire, allowing him to briefly forget many things.
Like the Demon Club, the Seven Commandments Association, and the Celestial Race.
He could find peace that he hadn’t felt in a long time.
If he hadn’t traded that jar with the old beggar, what would he be like now?
"Mr. Li, is that you?"
A surprised female voice brought Li Yang back from his idle thoughts.
Li Yang looked up and saw two women.
One was wearing a fitted red coat, with delicate light makeup.
Liu Lingwei, he had met before.
She was a teacher at the Guardian Dao Academy, also an administrator at the Security Administration, and had been Li Yang’s neighbor.
Li Yang smiled slightly and nodded:
"Fancy seeing you here."
Liu Lingwei didn’t expect that the important target assigned above was actually Li Yang!
Actually, if the person the director placed great importance on turned out to be Li Yang, it wouldn’t be surprising.
Li Yang was too mysterious, a guest of the Dragon Palace, and the one constantly remembered by Li Tufang.
Compared to Liu Lingwei’s excitement, Li Yang’s smiling demeanor seemed somewhat indifferent.
Li Yang had anticipated that the Security Administration would send someone to approach him, and that person would likely be Liu Lingwei.
Because Liu Lingwei was a newcomer, and she had already interacted with him before.
At this moment, Li Yang started to let his mind wander again.
If it weren’t for the Desire Magic Jar, Liu Lingwei, a wealthy girl of her caliber, probably wouldn’t have much interaction with him, let alone be so excited upon seeing him.
Li Yang didn’t care about that, his demand for lust was very low, even indifferent to it.
Because of Liu Lingwei, Li Yang somehow thought of his own little cat.
Little Suzu wouldn’t care if he had that jar, or if he owned a villa, she would always accompany him.
Li Yang looked at the other woman.
The young woman looked ordinary, yet Li Yang couldn’t help but glance at her twice. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Li Yang gradually furrowed his brow.
The soul fluctuation of the Eight-foot Bride, yet not the Eight-foot Bride.
What did the authorities do?
Liu Lingwei quickly introduced:
"Cao Nuannuan, my friend."
Cao Nuannuan stared at Li Yang for a long time, murmuring:
"You look really handsome."
Liu Lingwei’s gaze snapped towards Cao Nuannuan.
This woman was like an obsessed fan, asking every man she met if they could marry her.
From eighty-year-old men to twelve-year-old boys.
She wouldn’t be after Li Yang, would she!
Liu Lingwei was especially afraid that Cao Nuannuan would ask, ’Can you marry me?’ or something like that, and hurriedly reached out to cover Cao Nuannuan’s mouth.
But it was already too late, Cao Nuannuan had already spoken.
However, she hadn’t spoken offensively, she asked:
"Haven’t we met before? I feel you are very familiar."
...
Far away in the Security Administration, several administrators monitoring Cao Nuannuan trembled in unison.
Cao Nuannuan was considered half an Eight-foot Bride, and the Eight-foot Bride was an extraordinary from the Tang Dynasty, coming from Hell.
Cao Nuannuan actually felt that Li Yang was familiar?
To know that Cao Nuannuan had lost her memory, the only name that could evoke familiarity in her so far was Xie Qilin.
She actually felt Li Yang was familiar?
Could it be that Li Yang, as speculated, is an ancient extraordinary?
What is Li Yang’s relationship with Hell exactly?
Why did he assume the identity of ’Li Yang,’ and become the owner of a small pharmacy in South Sea?
What are the intentions of this mysterious strongman?
...
Li Yang’s eyes dimly faded.
He knew everything about the Eight-foot Bride.
Originally, she was just a lingering wronged soul, tragically dying on her wedding night.
He made this woman into the Eight-foot Bride in an ancient tomb.
Nuannuan was quite tragic, the Eight-foot Bride was quite tragic too.
It’s his own doing.
Li Yang didn’t respond to Cao Nuannuan’s words, he simply said softly:
"Your necklace is very beautiful."
Cao Nuannuan lowered her head, touching the collar on her neck, smiling sweetly:
"My brother gave this to me."
Li Yang thought.
Is it Cao Yi?
Li Yang reached out and gently touched the collar on Cao Nuannuan’s neck, and said:
"Your brother is very good to you."
He slightly used his spiritual power, silently disarming the self-destruct device hidden inside the safety collar.
Li Yang’s mastery of spiritual power far exceeds the understanding of most extraordinaries, meaning Cao Nuannuan felt nothing.
Li Yang helping Cao Nuannuan disarm the self-destruct program of the safety collar was also a way to remind the Security Administration.
Since you know that Nuannuan is an ancient strongman, since you know that Nuannuan has ties with me, even guessing that Nuannuan is my person, then don’t entertain any ill thoughts toward her.
This is to provoke me, a top ancient extraordinary.
Li Yang’s kindness never goes overboard.
The gesture just now was good for Cao Nuannuan and also made his fabricated story more convincing.
...
In the Security Administration.
The administrators listening to Cao Nuannuan broke out in cold sweat in unison.
Is this mysterious strongman warning them?
Someone quickly noted it down, editing today’s events into a security log and sending it to Cao Yi, who had left Xia Country.
...
Cao Nuannuan had a good impression of Li Yang, she enjoyed this sense of familiarity, and didn’t mind Li Yang casually touching her valuable possession.
She smiled even sweeter:
"He certainly is, my brother treats me very well."
Li Yang smiled and asked:
"Do you need anything?"
Liu Lingwei hesitated for a moment.
Need anything?
Oh, right, this is a pharmacy.
Suddenly dropping by like this, if it’s not to buy medicine, it’s hard to justify.
Liu Lingwei hurriedly said:
"I haven’t been sleeping well recently, wanted to buy some calming herbs, didn’t expect to meet Mr. Li here, really a coincidence."
Li Yang’s lips curved with a smile, as if watching a kindergarten girl seriously making things up, but he didn’t expose her.
Liu Lingwei awkwardly lowered her head.
Li Yang walked to the counter and handed a few packs of medicine to Liu Lingwei:
"Consider it my treat."
Liu Lingwei suddenly laughed:
"You’re a guest of the Dragon Palace, a teacher at the Guardian Dao Academy, a wealthy businessman in the South Sea, and now a small pharmacy owner.
You really are peculiar, almost unreal."
Li Yang said:
"You’re my neighbor, a flight attendant, a teacher at the Guardian Dao Academy, and also a security administrator, we’re all the same."
Liu Lingwei opened her mouth but said nothing, lowered her head:
"Farewell."
Liu Lingwei tugged Cao Nuannuan’s hand and left the small pharmacy.
