When morning came, Li Xin opened his eyes, feeling so utterly comfortable he almost wanted to moan. Damn, what did he do last night?
He seemed to have drunk a lot and had quite a steamy dream.
But the traces in the room and the woman's fragrance made Li Xin realize that this wasn't a dream. Christie had already left, tidying up cleanly, and he suddenly felt something somewhat itchy-handed.
It was actually a glittering Gold Lira with a note beneath it: "Two days off."
Li Xin was dumbfounded, damn, damn, damn!
For a moment, Li Xin's heart felt a bit mixed. This was Christie indicating a relationship, two days to adjust his mindset. In the passionate and romantic Hedan, this probably wasn't much.
He glanced at the Gold Lira again; at least it showed he performed well yesterday!
Li Xin put away the Gold Lira, thinking that if he couldn't get by in the future, finding a rich and beautiful woman to support him wouldn't be too bad.
After tidying himself up, he went downstairs to eat. Today, he'd just make do at the inn; feeling refreshed throughout, he could even accept chicken dices. Upon going downstairs, he saw faces full of grievance, the artist, the magician, even Old Fang, who usually set up early, all looked as if they had just gotten up, and surprisingly, Dragon Mother hadn't gotten up.
"Thought it would be peaceful with David gone, now you are up to no good too!" Dalivin said, "How did you meet her? Old Fang said you brought back a fair-skinned, beautiful long-legged girl last night?"
"She's a pure Hedan, with golden hair, both beautiful and sexy, like a noble lady. This young man went thumping all night!" Old Fang sighed with a sip of his old tea, "Ah, the lad is brave, almost catching up to me in my younger days."
"Master Xin, can you be gentler next time? You thumped all night, making it hard for everyone to sleep." Kan said with a grievance, "You didn't use the magic I taught you to deceive the girl, did you?"
Li Xin chuckled, "Ma Liu, get me three breakfasts. Mr. Kan, your little magic trick looks simple but truly understands a woman's heart."
Mr. Kan adjusted his top hat, his face full of grievance. He often performed flower magic for madams and misses, but why didn't he encounter such young and beautiful ones... all like Dragon Mother, one could top two.
"Ah Xin, I taught you magic not to use it for wooing, magic is art, it's refined art. We should embrace a heart that brings joy to the world, understand dedication and sharing... next time introduce me to one too, I can teach you even better tricks for free."
"Ah Xin, how about learning painting with me? Those aristocratic women love portraits most. Does your friend have any sisters? Does she have any friends?" Dalivin also joined in.
"Do they like fortune-telling? For women, having a good fate is most important. You know my skill; I'm best at adjusting women's fortunes, seeking children and marriage. I can do it for beautiful women for free." Old Fang said, winking.
Li Xin was amused yet helpless, "Dalivin and Mr. Kan, that's fine, but Old Fang at your age..."
"You're mistaken here, man remains young until death, I'm still capable, still able to toil!" Old Fang patted his chest, "Besides, I predicted I would have a child at eighty."
"Didn't you say a fortune teller couldn't predict for themselves?" Dalivin recalled one of his Liras.
"That was before I learned fortune-telling."
Li Xin quickly finished eating and returned to his room, he could understand too, fearing poverty for brothers but also fearing brothers driving supercars.
There's no need to go to the Bird Club these days, having confirmed the situation with Simmons, already informed Christie about Anthony's matter, Hex Bird Report might act immediately, launch a counterattack, such things wait for no one, if unlucky, the opposition might act too, even destroy evidence.
Christie, already back to work at the Bird Club, was back to her old self. Assigning tasks, Hex Bird Report officially began to counterattack, the manuscript was long ready. Christie was always sexy and charming, today, perhaps because happiness makes one spirited, she was glowing entirely, her already fair skin with an even more enchanting, demoness-like allure.
Li Xin started tapping on the typewriter in his room, since the first draft was viable, preparation for the second draft was needed. After all, no matter how good the material is, it requires time to ferment a bit. Trust in Utopia Mountain Duke's power, reference some of the Secret Castle's situation, combined with Luthor's deeds, better suits Dao Yuan Continent.
Li Xin was tapping upstairs, while others downstairs weren't idle either. Dalivin, Old Fang, Mr. Kan, and others all decided to go out and seek work. David was no longer the concern, a master amongst flowers, still a Hedan, they can't compare.
Both being immigrants, why is it that Li Xin succeeds, but they don't?
Especially Kan, as a Great Magician, feeling overshadowed by a novice he taught himself, it couldn't be tolerated. Everyone groomed himself, feeling a bit more handsome than usual.
The next morning, Hedan's streets were neat and refreshing, not because Hedan's populace was particularly high-quality, but due to planned urban layout along with favorable environmental climate. A rainstorm washed over the city anew, grass sprouting green toward the sky, imbued with a refreshing scent in the air. Luckier ones might even find fish on the streets.
Yes, Hedan is just such a city; sometimes it actually rains fish during storms.
At various main streets, newspaper boys' cries were already ringing out, and one could sense today's uniqueness from their excited voices.
"Extra, extra, Viscount Anthony is actually an Inner Demon!"
"Extra, extra, Nasser Clan harbors Inner Demon, is Council Hall covering up the culprit?"
"Extra, extra, the true culprit behind the Inner Demon emerges, is it a distortion of human nature or moral degradation, where's the noble's integrity!"
Capturing some culprits appeased public anger somewhat, but it felt slightly off, everyone vaguely sensed it wasn't so simple. Only because they trusted the Funeral Attendant's ability did no one doubt it, then suddenly Hex Bird Report revealed the truth, the matter turned perplexing. Was the large scandal of Inner Demon really just some opportunistic thief blending with vile secretive Ability Users?
"Give me one!"
"I'll take two!"
The newspaper boy's face revealed a grin, today was destined for a good sale. In Moncalleta, nobility formed a unique grassroots, adopting knightly spirit, defining gentlemen and nobility, now the famous Nasser Clan actually harbored an Inner Demon, instantly igniting everyone's curiosity.
Also, the previous culprits were all tied to a fiery post, now astonishingly one still alive, captured by the Funeral Attendant, yet Council Hall hadn't acted?
Every newspaper buyer would hear the newsboy whisper mysteriously, "I heard it's long been captured, held under Funeral Attendant's watch. Hedan Daily knew early on but didn't report, Hex Bird Report is truly Dao Yuan Continent's fairest paper."
Some busybodies wanted to ask why, but the newspaper boys claimed ignorance, leaving the rest to the buyers' imagination.
