My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1660: Living Together with Xiao Zheng
The initial battle gradually subsided, as the bright moon and stars slowly climbed into the sky. The night, like a giant beast, devoured the savage battlefield, and an enormous black iron curtain enveloped both sides in heavy darkness.
Sky Net and the Alliance seemed to have reached some sort of consensus, retreating to their respective positions before nightfall. The battlefield, which was still in the chaos of flesh and blood during the day, suddenly fell silent at night.
Only the cheer of scavengers could be heard in the silent night.
But while the overt war ended at sunset, the covert contest had just begun, and all at once, countless eyes that had been resting in the daylight suddenly opened.
Long Qie and his comrades returned to the base with some flesh wounds. These minor injuries were no big deal to them; after having toiled on the line between life and death for so long, they had long been accustomed to regarding such things as no different from eating and sleeping.
However, while injuries might be ignored thanks to the Martial Saint’s ability to naturally heal, the fatigue was unavoidable.
Especially for Long Qie, who appeared on the battlefield at the critical moment, charging into the enemy ranks and breaking the stalemate of the offense and defense battle. Yet it had also exhausted a lot of his energy, especially at the end when that old bald monk’s unexpected move "Break the Dharma" shattered Long Qie’s Protective Gang Qi.
If not for his stable foundation built for a long period before entering the realm of Martial Saint, unlike a typical Early Stage Martial Saint, that move from the old bald monk might have been more than just breaking his Protective Gang Qi.
Long Qie let out a long breath, rubbing his slightly dizzy head with his right hand. Reflecting on the scenes where he descended into the Killing God state on the battlefield, even now he felt a bit of lingering fear.
At that time, he had approached the brink of losing his sanity. If he had gone a step further, he might have actually fallen entirely into the hands of the Demon...
From this perspective, he was even somewhat grateful that the old bald monk’s strike woke him up.
"It seems the Great Sound Buddha Sect no longer intends to hide behind the scenes, and their overt actions are bound to increase," Titan said, sprawled on the leather sofa with a cup of energy drink in hand, speaking casually.
Long Qie shrugged.
"Yeah, if that’s the case, things will become increasingly troublesome. Tomorrow’s battle will undoubtedly be difficult."
"Just kill whoever comes, why so much nonsense," Evil Eyes said dismissively, giving them a glare as if annoyed that these two disturbed his sleep. He turned over, found a more comfortable position, and continued to feign sleep.
Titan and Long Qie exchanged glances and smiled helplessly.
Zhonghai City, Yuan Family’s ancestral home.
Xiao Zheng lay in an armchair, holding a cup of fat-free, sugar-free mocha, watching the news on the crystal screen. Although he looked leisurely, his expression was very serious.
The battle between Beidao Guang and Sky Net had reached a boiling point. Today...
Images of the battlefield flashed in front of Xiao Zheng’s eyes, causing his brows to twitch, especially seeing Long Qie’s charge into the enemy ranks with the Killing God move, which surprised and pleased him.
Although the three had shown considerable strength when they came to him before, he hadn’t expected that when they truly entered a life-and-death battlefield, their potential would erupt several times better than he estimated.
He chuckled as he closed the crystal screen, took a sip of steaming mocha, and smacked his lips thoughtfully.
He was pondering, if what Long Qie and his companions, and that foreign woman named Catherine had said was true, what should he do?
The person who engaged him at Azure Dragon Street was likely the same individual now confronting Sky Net.
So what were their objectives? Were their actions toward him accidental or part of a carefully laid out plan?
If it were the latter, did that mean...
The things those at Sky Net said to him were all true?
He really was some Evil God, leading them, only to lose his memory due to being assassinated in the West?
The logic seemed to fit...
He smiled and got up to head outside.
Screech!
Just as Xiao Zheng stepped outside, he saw a luxury car... no, a super luxury sports car, brake sharply to a halt right in front of him.
The tires left a streak of black on the asphalt, yet managed to stop the driver’s door precisely in front of him.
Click...
He clicked his tongue, looking helplessly at Black Widow Catherine, clad in tight black attire accentuating her curvacious figure, standing elegantly in front of him after alighting from the car.
Truth be told, Catherine was very beautiful, and her outfit was indeed tempting. Especially the orbs on her chest, as round as basketballs, quivering with each step, made Xiao Zheng worry if they’d fall off.
So with such a beautiful woman dressed so seductively in front of him, Xiao Zheng could not help but scrutinize her from head to toe.
His gaze finally settled on her shoes.
"What... how high are those heels?" With his mouth agape, he asked in astonishment, noting Catherine was nearly his height.
"You guess." She flicked the luxury car key in front of Xiao Zheng and then turned to walk towards a house beside the Yuan Family ancestral home.
Watching the direction she was headed, Xiao Zheng said with a slightly odd expression, "Trespassing is illegal."
Stopping in her tracks, Catherine turned around and gave Xiao Zheng an enigmatic look with her beautiful eyes, after which she raised her eyebrows and granted him a Mona Lisa smile.
"Thank you for your thoughtful reminder."
With that, she moved to the house, curling her lips. With a light shout, she kicked the password-locked door open, and without evasion, strolled in under Xiao Zheng’s surprised gaze. She then peeked her head out,
smiling widely as she said to him, "The house is mine now. I’ll stay here until you recover your memory."
Xiao Zheng: "....."
Ha... Such a knockout!
He shook his head, walked over to the password door, took a glance at the interior furnishings, and his eyes landed on the door embedded into the courtyard wall from the kick. He pocketed his hands and gazed at the door embedded in the wall with a curious expression.
"This really is..."
"You’re already in, so why stand out there, come have a coffee!" Catherine’s voice called from inside. Xiao Zheng shrugged and walked in with a leisurely pace.
"You know how to make tea, I thought you only knew how to fight," Xiao Zheng remarked, sweeping his gaze across the home’s decor, finding it standard and recognizing no indication of hidden weapons or traps, he sat down at ease.
"What are you saying? I’m a master at making tea!"
