Capítulo 1735: Chapter 1676: Qingluan Again

“Princess, Elder Mis is still waiting for you outside.”

Lucy suddenly remembered the matter at hand and interrupted Qingluan’s thoughts.

Qingluan took a deep breath and said, “Alright! Let’s go out.”

Elder Mis was a black man in his fifties, his body resembling a black iron tower, and his bulging muscles seemed about to burst through his clothes.

“Greetings, Princess!” Mis nodded to Qingluan, his mouth opened, revealing a sudden flash of white teeth on his black face.

Qingluan said, “Hello, Elder Mis, is everything arranged?”

Mis said, “We’ve made all preparations, no matter how many people come from the Dragon Gate, none will return.”

Qingluan nodded and said, “Very good, thank you for your hard work, Elder Mis.”

Mis hesitated for a moment and said, “Princess, but on the Dragon Gate’s side, there’s always been no movement. The people we’re monitoring from Dragon Gate show no signs of gathering, nor has anyone come to Australia.”

Qingluan froze for a moment, a hint of surprise appeared on her face but quickly disappeared, she said, “Are you saying Dragon Gate has taken no action at all?”

“Correct!” Mis nodded, affirming, “Last time we were attacked by the Dragon Gate, we lost an elder, so we’ve strengthened our intelligence system, tracking key figures of the Dragon Gate. Although we can’t approach them closely, we can definitely determine their whereabouts. They are all currently concentrated in China, fewer than two elders are at Minghe.”

“Could our initial intelligence be wrong? They didn’t intend to target me?” Qingluan furrowed her brow.

Dark Night Sect had long been aware of Dragon Gate’s key investigation into her whereabouts.

And because of this, Qingluan felt genuinely conflicted, could it be that Song Xiaodong really wanted to kill her?

However, she absolutely didn’t believe such a possibility, if Song Xiaodong really wanted to kill her, he would’ve had plenty of chances in the underground world, why wait for her return to carry out such a complex assassination?

Elder Mis furrowed his brow and said, “Therefore, we now even suspect that Dragon Gate is simply creating a false front, wanting us to concentrate manpower around you, then strike elsewhere.”

Qingluan’s heart tightened, and she immediately said, “That could very well be possible, Song Xiaodong that sly fox, we may have indeed fallen for his trap.”

Elder Mis said, “If this is truly the case, then other places may truly be at risk.”

At that moment, Elder Mis’s phone rang, he glanced at it and said, “Princess, it’s Jones calling.”

“Answer!” Qingluan nodded.

Mis answered the call and turned on the speakerphone, saying, “Jones, I’m with the Princess, what’s happened on your end?”

Jones’s tone carried a hint of anger, saying, “We’ve fallen for Dragon Gate’s trap, their real target isn’t the Princess, we were attacked here by Dragon Gate, and the losses are significant.”

“Damn it!” Mis cursed.

After hanging up the phone, Qingluan said, “Report the current situation to the Sect Master immediately.”

Mis hurriedly went to make the call, while Qingluan walked to the living room window, gazing outside with a somewhat peculiar expression.

After a while, Mis said, “Princess Qingluan, the Sect Master instructed us to abandon the mission here, and to quickly return to our locations to avoid further attacks from Dragon Gate.”

Qingluan nodded and said, “Alright, you go make the arrangements.”

Dark Night Sect had allocated roughly half its major forces here, with such strength, if Dragon Gate dared to come, they would suffer greatly.

Now realizing this deployment was in vain, they quickly decided to leave to prevent further attacks from Dragon Gate.

Qingluan didn’t leave immediately, unsure why, she just wanted to stay here for two more days, Mis remained to protect Qingluan.

Past ten in the evening, Qingluan filled a tub of hot water, undressed, and soaked comfortably in the bathtub, feeling very relaxed.

These past two days she was actually quite tense, not because she feared botching such an important task for the first time, but because she worried about what to do if Song Xiaodong really came. Knowing now that Song Xiaodong wouldn’t be coming relieved her intense nerves.

After soaking for a while, the bathroom door suddenly knocked.

Qingluan frowned slightly but didn’t think much of it, assuming Lucy had come in, so she said, “Come in.”

The sliding bathroom door opened, and a person walked in.

Qingluan’s eyes widened instantly, nearly screaming, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

“You even let me in when you’re bathing, seems you really miss me.” The person spoke as they walked towards the bathtub, who else but Song Xiaodong.

“You… Why are you here?” Qingluan quickly submerged herself deeper into the water, only leaving her head exposed, then glared fiercely at Song Xiaodong, snorting, “You’ve walked right into the trap, you’re dead this time.”

Song Xiaodong stood beside the bathtub, smiled slightly, leaned down, and cupped Qingluan’s face in both hands, his head lowered, and his lips were on Qingluan’s.

“Mm…” Qingluan protested with a shake of her head, but quickly succumbed to the kind of dizzying kiss, her arms extended and tightly wrapped around Song Xiaodong’s neck.

A few minutes later, Qingluan suddenly pushed Song Xiaodong away forcefully, her face exposing a mix of embarrassment and anger, she said, “You bastard, how dare you come here, I’m going to kill you.”

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “Would you really be willing?”

Qingluan snorted, “What wouldn’t I be willing to do? You bastard, always taking advantage of me, I’ve long wanted to kill you.”

Song Xiaodong extended an arm again and pulled Qingluan out of the bathtub, walking out while saying, “If I’m truly slaughtered by you, I’d die content.”

“I really will kill you.” Qingluan raised her palm, hovering over Song Xiaodong’s head.

Song Xiaodong hung his head low, his lips nearing Qingluan’s ear, softly saying, “If I’m to die by your hand, I’d hope it’s in bed.”

“You…” Qingluan’s palm fell, landing on Song Xiaodong’s forehead, but there wasn’t a trace of True Qi.

“You bastard, even if I can’t bring myself to do it, the elders of Dark Night Sect won’t show mercy, we have a top Three Meridians True Qi master here, if he knows you are here, he’ll surely rush in to kill you.”

“If you don’t tell, how would anyone know?” Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly, already enfolding Qingluan on the bed.

“Bang bang!” At that moment, the door suddenly knocked, Qingluan’s face turned pale instantly.
