The events with Shen Society took so much of Li Yang's time that it was actually later than usual when he had the chance to arrive back home. He had his newly registered license inside his wallet and he had an evil-qi dispelling talisman stuck underneath his suit coat. His life was…
He couldn't exactly say that life was good.
Forced to act as some entertainer for heaven's whims, it wasn't the life that he wanted.
But it was also what he made of it that determined his perspective on his situation. And Li Yang had already made peace with his situation, step by step, he'd get complete control over his situation and dictate the terms to this agreement. But for now, he needed to comply while preparing for the future that he couldn't exactly foresee.
And the best way to do it besides complying with the System and the Celestial Heavens were finding allies. A business empire was not built and handled alone by a single man, it took multiple individuals that proved themselves to be an asset to the company—he needed to find them. Li Yang would like to think that the ones he met at the Shen Society would be one of the many that'd find and meet.
However he was still unsure if they would be able to help him with his situation in regards to his lack of spiritual roots. The man checked his charm points now:
[ Current Charm Points: 1195 Points ]
He still needed a lot more if he wished to actually purchase the 'Roots Unlockment' and so far, he still needed a lot more. He had earned about 50 Charm Points under his own doing today, and though it might have been good—he still needed to gather much more. When he gained '100 Charm Points' from Bo Lifen it might have been the biggest gain he had earned withstanding the one that came from the 'Fire Dweller'.
Li Yang considered it for a moment, "It's far easier than spending an evening with Ying Yue He. But… on who's the easier one to spend time with, that changes things." He sighed and continued to drive. Only a little bit more and then he could finally rest.
There was also no assurance that if he spent time with Bo Lifen again, he would end up earning 100 Charm Points again. However, if opportunity allowed him to garner points again—then he would take it.
.. .
There was a tiny mistake that Bo Lifen figured out and soon had to remedy—she didn't exactly know where the man lived. And though the place might have been something smaller, terribly smaller and with less traffic than Shanghai, she still didn't have a clue where exactly had he lived. She didn't want to return back to her great-grandmother's place and ask for directions.
She could probably figure this out for herself.
Most of the houses had signs of life in them—not all of them were separated by large walls that her matriarch had insisted upon to make their ancestral home's defense sturdy. And though she wasn't a cultivator, her senses were pique up to a certain amount that she could pick up on minor details.
The house over there had the laughter of children, one of the vehicles parked on the right had a 'baby on board' sticker and she was positive that the CEO had no kid at all.
It was a matter of elimination.
Each of the houses were dissected and evaluated carefully before she moved on to the next one while she held the thermos in her hands.The wind was awfully chilly but she pushed through it, the cold didn't bother her. But soon enough, she noticed a dark vehicle backing it up over a simple one-storey house and she put two and two together.
Someone like them would live in a house like that.
She ran towards him—eager to get this thing over with. Whatever the reason for them coming home late didn't matter to her, it was none of her business. But the thought of… she slowed down and paused outside of the house's lawn and tried not to grimace. Bo Lifen had not been running over to see the man like some infatuated highschool girl, she just wanted to get it over with.
She had not done it at all.
The thermos felt heavy in her hands as she awaited the man to come out of the car, the words that she had already prepared for herself to say was ingrained in the back of her mind. She only needed to shove the thermos in his hands and say goodnight, that was easy.
And soon the vehicle's car door swung open, the man stepped out of the vehicle, and he met her gaze with one look. He raised one brow at her, a look of confusion that simply melted everything away.
Bo Lifen forgot the words that were caught at the tip of her tongue.
He made his way towards her, exuding an aura that she hadn't noticed at all before. Each step he made towards her was confident, self-assured and uncaring that her gaze was completely and solely on him. Until he finally arrived in front of her, and she tried to form the words in her mouth, "This is—"
She didn't need to stammer!
The man tilted his head at her, a small smile playing on his lips. "Is that for me?"
Why was she suddenly nervous around him? This was the man she caged her arms in before, she was supposed to be the one in control of this conversation—she looked back up at him. Pouring out all of her sarcasm in her next words, "Who else is around here?"
A soft sigh escaped the man's lips and he reached out towards her, resting his fingers underneath her chin. "I can't help but notice you're shaking—are you cold? You came out all the way here to meet me with only those clothes on."
Did he really say that? She couldn't believe that those words came out of his mouth. Bo Lifen prepared herself for a retort—
Glaring bright lights illuminated over them.
