Chapter 18: The Dark History of Some War God
Yu Xin was already driving down the road.
Night Lan was sitting in the passenger seat, spacing out and watching Lianhua’s puppet show through Night Star’s eyes.
Night Star watches puppet shows every moment, always hiding in the theater, which is quite the little homebody.
Though Night Lan’s body is also quite introverted, with her special status, she can act more naturally and freely go outdoors without worrying too much about being noticed by weird people.
Although she has learned to use Existence Interference to conceal any strange aura about herself, she can easily fool ordinary people and regular Night Watchers, but who knows if it works on the real big shots?
In this dangerous capital, Night Lan doesn’t want Night Star wandering around, and neither do the other members of the troupe.
Mo Tu said that the forces here were very complex.
Aside from the Night Watchers organization, there are other Star factions, whose stances could be different.
Some might resemble the Sunset Research Institute in Qi Yuan City.
Being targeted would be a disaster.
So it’s better to be steady.
After this incident settles, Night Lan will rush back to Yun Chang City on a jet plane.
“Uh…”
As Night Lan drifted off into thought, the one driving the flying car, Yu Xin, spoke up.
“Night Lan, can you tell me about Wang Chao?”
“Huh? Senior Wang Chao? Aren’t you friends?”
“Well, yes, but we haven’t been in contact for a long time. Recently, he contacted me to take care of someone coming to headquarters, which is you. He’s in a different city, so I don’t know how he’s doing.”
“Uh… it feels complicated.”
She muttered softly.
She felt like Wang Chao and Yu Xin had some secret they couldn’t share.
Night Lan wasn’t clueless.
Having surfed the web for a long time, even without experiencing things firsthand, she could put two and two together.
That could mean rivals or something.
Maybe Yu Xin likes Wang Chao, but Wang Chao avoids her for some reason.
The reason was unknown.
But it wasn’t Night Lan’s business.
If she wasn’t interested in the gossip, she wouldn’t get involved.
“Senior Wang Chao is doing well. He seems to live quite recklessly in Yun Chang City, lazing around all the time, ready to slack off anytime. He doesn’t seem like a Sunlight Night Watcher at all.”
“Is that so? That sounds just like him.”
Yu Xin sighed lightly as if remembering something.
Night Lan casually asked, “What exactly is Master Yu Xin’s relationship with Senior Wang Chao? Will it satisfy my curiosity? If not, then no worries.”
“Sure, actually, I’ve had a crush on him for ages and wanted to be his lover.”
Upon hearing this, Night Lan was shocked.
“Blown Away!”
Even though she had a vague hunch, hearing Yu Xin say it out loud still had a huge impact!
Who knew Wang Chao could be liked by such a beautiful girl?
But thinking about it, Wang Chao has plenty of good points.
For instance, he’s incredibly brave in battle, almost like an invincible war god.
When not slacking off, he’s quite charming.
It’s not that surprising that someone likes him.
Actually, Wang Chao and Yu Xin together are perfect for each other!
“So, did you express these feelings to him?”
“Yeah… I did, but in a really strange way. After that incident, an awkward period started between us, so I don’t know what else to say.”
“Oh… that sounds interesting.”
Now, Night Lan is curious about the “war god” of Yun Chang City.
According to Mo Tu, this must be the kind of fun he’s talking about.
Yu Xin paused for a moment, then shared the past events with her.
“At that time, I didn’t know him. I was also considered the youngest talented Night Watcher, absolutely capable of becoming a Sunlight Night Watcher. Then Wang Chao came to me.”
“Oh wow~” Night Lan guessed excitedly, “Then did he come to profess his love to you?”
Yu Xin shook her head gently.
“No, he heard that I was strong and challenged me.”
“Hmm, I don’t find this surprising at all. This sounds like something he’d do.”
Though Night Lan knew little about Wang Chao, her intuition told her so.
“And after that?”
Curious, eager Night Lan started pressing further.
Clearly, this gossip had caught her attention.
Yu Xin continued, “At that time, I was stronger than him. According to the rules of their duel, I knocked him out with a single move.”
“Oh no…”
Night Lan found this development rather amusing.
“After fainting, he was taken away by the medical department. During this period, he woke up and promised with strong will to challenge me again.”
“Did he actually come back for another rematch?”
“Yeah… after some time, he came back again, and I thrashed him again. Three ribs were broken.”
“Poor guy…”
Night Lan can now imagine how heartbroken Wang Chao must have been after being beaten twice by a girl.
“Did Wang Chao give up after that?”
“No, he actually intensified. He had no intention of giving up unless he defeated me. I couldn’t help but get attracted to this determination.”
Yu Xin’s face softened as she said these words.
She seemed to cherish those times.
Considering her lack of expression, interacting physically with a determined man created a powerful feeling of being irreplaceable.
This was indeed a beautiful memory.
Yu Xin continued reminiscing, “After Wang Chao lost to me again, he seemed to train hard for a long time. It felt like two years. When he returned and challenged me, he was much more confident and much stronger.”
“Yay! Did he ultimately achieve victory this time?”
“No, I beat him in half a minute, even with some leniency. After losing, he got defensive and cursed, which was very interesting.”
“Pfft…”
Night Lan suddenly felt like laughing.
But isn’t it disrespectful to laugh at Wang Chao?
Since he isn’t here, he won’t know anyway, right?
No, she must hold back!
Otherwise, it would be rude!
“Is there more? I’m very curious!”
“More stuff… Actually, it marks the end of this. He sought out many experts to learn combat skills. When he returned, he challenged me again. However, I didn’t fight to win but to show my feelings. I intentionally lost to him and then confessed.”
“Woah!”
Night Lan suddenly went along with it, but didn’t notice Yu Xin looking a bit frustrated.
“What happened next?”
“Next… he refused me, saying I wasn’t strong enough, and told me to come back when I was stronger. Being upset, I sent him to the hospital.”
Pfft~
Finally, Night Lan couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
“Ahaahaha~”
Meanwhile…
In Yun Chang City.
Lazing around like Ge You, Wang Chao sneezed.
“This is strange… Who’s thinking of me?”
