Li Tianlan agreed. Confused, he hung up the phone.

He glanced at the dining room and asked calmly while looking at Liu Tianjing, “Can you handle the dead?”

Liu Tianjing nodded, his eyes dim.

“Very good.”

Li Tianlan picked up the Imperial Jade Seal on the table and added, “I’m pleased with everything you’ve said. Starting from today, I hope the Liu family can become a good dog of mine. Can you do that?”

Liu Tianjing lowered his head to hide his emotions and nodded silently.

A faint smile appeared on the corners of Li Tianlan’s mouth and he said coldly, “I know you’re unwilling to submit. But from now on, as long as I’m alive, the Curtain is mine, and the Liu family is my dog. You can consider betraying me, but you’d better think through the consequences.”

Consequences?

Today, Li Tianlan just killed a few members from the branch of the Liu family, and they were nonentities. Even if this matter was exposed, the people behind Li Tianlan could also suppress it. But the Liu family had sent out the Imperial Jade Seal and even exposed its biggest secret.

If the Liu family betrayed him, Li Tianlan didn’t have to do anything. He just needed to tell the story to Kunlun City, and the Liu family would end up miserably.

Liu Tianjing smiled bitterly and nodded silently.

Li Tianlan turned around and left.

Liu Tianjing and the rest of the Liu family subconsciously wanted to stand up and send him away, but Li Tianlan’s cold voice was heard. “On your knees.”

…

Li Tianlan returned to Yonghua Villa almost as fast as he could.

The ninth building was still quiet.

Li Tianlan walked in a hurry, opened the door of the villa, and strode into the living room.

The Human Emperor was fully stretched out in his hand. His expression was calm, but there was alertness in his eyes.

In the dark living room, a tall, slender, and extremely beautiful figure sat quietly on the sofa. The moment she saw Li Tianlan come in, she reflexively straightened up and took a step forward.

“Senior brother… Are you alright?”

Li Tianlan was confused. He looked at Wang Yuetong in perfect condition before him and asked in a low voice, “Just yourself?”

Wang Yuetong nodded her head gently. As she looked at Li Tianlan with white hair in the dark, her eyes were full of complicated emotions.

“Aren’t you missing?”

Li Tianlan pointed to the watch on his wrist and got a headache.

“I went back to the Wang family of Beihai.”

Wang Yuetong whispered, “But I didn’t tell my dad.”

She bent down to lift her bag from the sofa. She fumbled in her bag and finally fished out a little, long, and thin box.

After that, she opened the box.

A five- or six-centimeter glassware appeared before Li Tianlan. Even in the dark, the glittering purple liquid inside the vessel still showed a charming brilliance that was almost dazzling.

Wang Yuetong carefully held the glassware in front of her. Although her voice was low, it sounded firm. “Senior brother, drink it up.”

“What’s this?”

Li Tianlan asked, frowning instinctively at the idea.

Wang Yuetong did not speak. In the darkness, her pretty eyes twinkled slightly, as if they were full of water again.

With a wry smile, Li Tianlan nodded. He took the vessel from Wang Yuetong’s hand and drank it up, saying helplessly, “Thank you.”

Wang Yuetong stared at Li Tianlan and said softly, “My father doesn’t want me, neither does the Wang family of Beihai. Senior brother, do you want me?”

She silently looked at Li Tianlan. There were both joy and a deep sense of despair in her tone. “If only for one day.”

Li Tianlan’s heart sank and he asked subconsciously, “What do you mean?”

Wang Yuetong didn’t say much. She just asked softly again, “Do you want me?”

Before Li Tianlan could speak, his body suddenly trembled. After the purple liquid entered his abdomen, it was instantly transformed into an infinite amount of energy. That was an indescribable feeling. The soft energy quickly filled every inch of his body, and the frailty caused by the overdrawing of his vitality disappeared quickly. A kind of familiar yet strange energy soared inside him as if it was infinite.

“This…”

Li Tianlan’s voice shook, and for a moment he could not believe it.

“This is the precious treasure of the Wang family of Beihai. I stole it.”

Wang Yuetong wiped away her tears and choked with sobs. “I don’t want you to die.”

“Perhaps you are right. I’m cheap, but I just don’t want you to die. I don’t mind being cheap. I…”

Li Tianlan suddenly walked forward and threw his arms around Wang Yuetong. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her mouth hard.

Wang Yuetong let out two muffled cries. She looked at Li Tianlan with her big eyes, and her body suddenly became rigid.

Not knowing how long had passed, but just when Li Tianlan was about to let her go, Wang Yuetong suddenly flung her hands around his neck and began to respond violently.

The erotic move lasted for a long time.

The inexperienced and impassioned kiss that lasted for a long while seemed to make them suffocate. It was everlasting and would continue until the end of time.

Li Tianlan’s hand caressed Wang Yuetong’s back, and it instinctively lifted her sweater and reached in. Wang Yuetong uttered several meaningless syllables, and the grip of her arms around Li Tianlan’s neck grew tighter and tighter.

The cell phone rang suddenly.

The sudden ringing of the mobile phone instantly woke the two who were lost in passionate love. Li Tianlan’s body shook. He looked at the Caller Identification and felt more embarrassed.

Qin Weibai.

“By this time, she should have arrived in Bili State?”

“Or does she just get off the plane?”

At this moment, although Li Tianlan knew that Qin Weibai was thousands of miles away from him, he could not help feeling being caught in bed.

Without hesitation, he pressed the answer button and said hello. His voice was filled with an enormous sense of guilt.

“Where are you?”

Qin Weibai’s voice was soft and inviting, like a breath of fresh air.

“At…at home.”

Li Tianlan automatically glanced at Wang Yuetong, only to find that the little princess’s eyes were dim with lust. It seemed that she had not come to her senses yet, because she just stared at him in a daze. Li Tianlan had a cold sweat on his forehead and was stuttering.

“Yourself? I’ll ask the old man to keep you company and chat with you.”

Qin Weibai said in a low voice.

Li Tianlan hesitated. He meant to lie, but when the words were already on the tip of his tongue, he planned to tell the truth. “Well… Yuetong is here too.”

On the phone, Qin Weibai suddenly fell silent.

Li Tianlan’s palms were sweaty, but he didn’t know how to explain it.

After nearly half a minute, Qin Weibai’s soft voice continued to come through the phone. Li Tianlan could not tell what her mood was like. “I’ve cleared up our bedroom and changed the bed sheet. You can use it.”

Li Tianlan broke out in a cold sweat and said instinctively, “No, Little Bai, let me explain…”

On the phone, Qin Weibai chuckled, “it’s okay, fool.”

Her voice was still soft, and it filled with docility and sentimental attachment that could not be described by words. “I’m already in Bili State. Wait for me, I’ll be right back.”

Li Tianlan looked at the phone being hung up blankly and was utterly perturbed.

“Senior brother…”

Wang Yuetong’s face was rosy and charming. The darkness of the living room perfectly concealed the flush on her cheeks. However, her voice was particularly charming and it still carried a hint of shyness that only appeared when a maiden’s first kiss was taken away. “Is it… Is it she?”

Li Tianlan nodded and replied, “Suddenly, I realize I am a bastard. Yuetong, I’m a scumbag who is unfaithful in love, right?”

Wang Yuetong fell silent.

It was a long time before she spoke softly, “I have a biological mother and two young stepmothers.”

Li Tianlan was speechless.

“Where have you been tonight?”

Seeing that Li Tianlan didn’t take a clear-cut stand, Wang Yuetong seemed to be unhappy and she asked resentfully.

“I went for a walk and found a good dog.”

Li Tianlan managed to compose himself. He wanted to call Qin Weibai again, but he also knew that it was inappropriate to call her now, whether she was angry or not.

“Do you like dogs?”

Wang Yuetong tilted her little head slightly and continued, “I have a dog, too. I have been keeping it with my Second Uncle these days. I planned to take it to the Sky Academy. Senior brother, shall I give it to you?”

Li Tianlan smiled and nodded. In a very short time, his health got better and better. Although the energy was far from enough to heal him, it had taken him out of danger for the time being.

“The precious treasure of the Wang family of Beihai?”

He looked at Wang Yuetong and thought of the long kiss. His heart was troubled, and he could not make out what his relation was with Wang Yuetong now.

He suppressed his inner thoughts and fumbled in his pocket for cigarettes, but he accidentally fished out the Imperial Jade Seal, which was bulging in his pocket.

Li Tianlan was in a daze. He put the seal on the tea table and kept silent.

The living room was dark.

The milky white Imperial Jade Seal quietly exuded gentle and holy light and was especially eye-catching.

“What’s this?”

It instantly caught Wang Yuetong’s eye and she asked subconsciously.

“This is a treasure.” Li Tianlan chuckled.

He was not going to say anything about the Liu family. Although the Liu family was his dog, it was still of great use for him if it continued to stay in the Special Warfare Group for the time being. If he asked the Liu family to break with the Special Warfare Group now, not to mention whether it was in his interest, even Liu Tianjing would not agree.

To break with Kunlun City completely?

Then Liu Tianjing’s whole family would die tragically as well, sooner or later. It didn’t make much difference.

Letting the Liu family hide in the dark was the best choice for both sides.

Li Tianlan took deep breaths and looked at the Imperial Jade Seal on the table, said smilingly, “Let me study it for a while. I will cut it into a few jade pendants some other day and send them to you.”

He that possessed the Imperial Jade Seal shall have the kingdom.

Li Tianlan had always scoffed at such kind of talk.

Nonetheless, Liu Tianjing said that his elder brother Liu Tianqing entered the Invincible Realm relying on the seal in front of him, and this was an area worth focusing on.

The biggest secret of the Liu family was arguably Li Tianlan’s most unexpected gain tonight. If he had not gone mad tonight and gambled his life on the lives of the Liu family but had adopted other means to play slowly with the Liu family, he may not be able to get it in the end.

An information organization named the Curtain.

The Imperial Jade Seal.

Li Tianlan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he counted his gains tonight, and his expression grew calmer.

For him at the current state, whether the seal had that mysterious effect was actually secondary.

Most importantly, he got the information organization named the Curtain.

He entered Huating alone for less than a month. During this period, good luck and bad luck went hand in hand.

Li Tianlan’s physical condition was worse than ever currently, but he also got a small foundation of force that no one dared ignore, at least in Huating.

A foundation of force that only belonged to him!

Having received the Mandate from Heaven, may (the emperor) lead a long and prosperous life!

Under the soft light of the seal, the writing on the jade seemed to be more and more clear.

Li Tianlan sat quietly, looking at the seal in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly in the dark, deep and commanding.
