Chapter 151: Chapter 151
Chapter 151 - That Thing You Did... We Know All About It!
Time rewinds to a little earlier.
Early in the morning, Lin Fan got out of bed and was startled to see Yingnü standing at the head of his bed.
Yingnü stood there motionless, without making a sound, just like a ghost.
“When did you get here?”
Lin Fan glanced at the soundly sleeping Long Yue beside him and asked in a hushed voice.
“Over two hours ago, Lord Demon Sovereign,” Yingnü said faintly.
From the looks of it, she seemed to have been standing there waiting for him for a long time, until he woke up.
To be waiting by his side so early in the morning, she must have had something important to report.
In order not to disturb the still-sleeping Long Yue, Lin Fan quietly instructed:
“You go find a place outside and wait for This One. I'll be there shortly.”
“Yes, Lord Demon Sovereign.”
Yingnü bowed slightly, then melted into the shadows and left from under the crack of the door.
Lin Fan got out of bed, quietly got dressed, and then opened the door.
When he arrived at the location Yingnü had sent him, he froze.
How could Yingnü have chosen a place …
Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then braced himself and walked into the love hotel. He went to the room number Yingnü had told him and knocked lightly.
“Lord Demon Sovereign.”
Yingnü opened the door and respectfully stepped aside.
The curtains in the room were all drawn, making it rather dim, lit only by a few dark red lights that gave off a moody and ambiguous glow.
The bed was a heart-shaped double bed. On the headboard were handcuffs, leather straps, and various other small toys.
“Yingnü, do you know what kind of place this is?”
Looking at the themed room before him, Lin Fan directed a soul-searching question at Yingnü beside him.
“It is an inn, Lord Demon Sovereign.”
Yingnü's face was expressionless and calm.
This is no ordinary inn!
Lin Fan couldn't help but retort in his mind.
But looking at her, she probably really had no idea what kind of place this was and had just randomly picked a spot.
Good thing it's daytime, so there's no sound of 'battle' from the next room…
“Do you not like it here, Lord Demon Sovereign?”
Yingnü could see that Lin Fan didn't seem to like the place and asked:
“Does this subordinate need to find another location?”
“No need, this is fine…”
Lin Fan waved his hand, too lazy to bother changing locations again.
“Tell me. Has there been any movement from An Yao's side?”
“Yes, Lord Demon Sovereign.”
Getting down to business, Yingnü's expression hardened, her face growing serious.
“Last night, this subordinate followed her in secret and discovered that she had set up a teleportation array in the forest, and the array has already activated.”
“A group of people from the Immortal Race have already come through the array and are preparing to make a move against you, Lord Demon Sovereign.”
“So she did have a backup plan…”
Hearing this news, Lin Fan wasn't surprised in the slightest, but he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
It wasn't that he was afraid of An Yao and the others coming to cause trouble for him. It was that if they were to fight, the Magic Capital would inevitably suffer the consequences.
When Immortal Emperors clash, the power is often heaven-destroying and earth-shattering. Even if they controlled their attacks to the absolute minimum, it would be difficult to guarantee that they wouldn't attract the attention of the people of this world.
“Lord Demon Sovereign, should I have this subordinate go and eliminate them first?”
Yingnü asked faintly, her eyes revealing a hint of killing intent.
Lin Fan shook his head.
“Guests should be treated as guests. Don't make a move for now. Let's see what they're up to.”
“You go and inform Meizhi and the others first. Tell them that if anyone comes looking for trouble, they should 'entertain' them well on This One's behalf. But try not to make too much of a commotion.”
He had learned from Yingnü that quite a few people had arrived.
For them to dare to come through the teleportation array even knowing that he, the Empress, and the Four Demon Generals were all here, their cultivation and strength must not be too poor.
If a real fight were to break out, the entire Magic Capital might be razed to the ground, and it would also be a waste of their limited spiritual energy.
More importantly, there was probably someone in this world who wouldn't be happy if they started a fight...
While Lin Fan and Yingnü were talking in the room, Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai were waiting anxiously outside the hotel.
After a while, Yingnü walked out of the hotel, got on her little electric scooter, and left.
A short while after she left, Lin Fan slowly walked out of the love hotel.
In order to avoid being noticed, the two of them had deliberately staggered their departure times.
By my calculations, Long Yue should be waking up soon. I should grab some breakfast to bring back. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel{f}ire.net
Lin Fan temporarily pushed the matter of An Yao to the back of his mind, thinking about what to bring back for Long Yue to eat.
Before he could decide, a familiar black sedan sped up beside him with a roar of the engine and came to a steady stop.
“Yanzi, Ah Zhai, what a coincidence. Why are you two out together so early in the morning?”
Seeing Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai sitting in the car, Lin Fan chuckled and greeted them.
“Yeah, what a coincidence, running into you here, Lin Fan.”
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai shot him an irritated look, their words dripping with passive-aggressive sarcasm.
Lin Fan didn't get it.
What's with these two so early in the morning? It's like they're angry at me…?
“Get in the car. We need to have a serious talk with you!”
Zhou Yan pointed to the back seat with his thumb and said to him with a serious expression.
“I was just about to buy some breakfast to take back. Can we talk later?”
Lin Fan waved his hand, thinking they were trying to drag him somewhere to hang out, and turned to leave.
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai frowned and quickly drove to keep up, saying angrily:
“You still have the nerve to bring breakfast back?!”
Coming out early in the morning to get a room and have an affair with his own maid. Afterwards, he acts as if nothing happened, pretending to be out buying breakfast to take home!
Sister-in-law will see the breakfast and probably won't be suspicious. To be so meticulous... it looks isn't his first time!
Lin Fan, oh Lin Fan... to think you've become the very thing you hate the most!
Your brother is heartbroken!
Lin Fan looked confused.
I'm just trying to bring some breakfast home. Why are Zhou Yan and the others acting so crazy…
Can't I even go out to buy breakfast now?
“It's nothing! Just get in the car first. We need to find a place to talk!”
Zhou Yan suppressed the anger in his heart and once again urged Lin Fan to get in the car.
Lin Fan also noticed that something was off with Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai. Guessing that they must have something they needed to talk to him about, he didn't hesitate any longer, opened the car door, and got in.
Zhou Yan slammed on the gas, drove quickly away from there, and found a quiet coffee shop to sit down in, ordering three coffees.
Lin Fan sat on one side, while Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai sat opposite him. None of the three spoke, and the atmosphere fell silent, as if they were in an interrogation room.
Lin Fan, looking completely baffled, was the first to break the silence:
“Didn't you say you had something to talk to me about? Why is no one talking now?”
Zhou Yan and Lu Zhai exchanged a look, and then Zhou Yan spoke with a solemn expression:
“Lin Fan, that thing you did… we know all about it!”
