Chapter 692 - Alien (1/2)

The night sky seemed like a vast black shroud as it descended and enveloped the entire city. But the darkness was kept at bay by the profusion of random and colorful lights that provided its dwellers the familiar illumination of the city’s nightlife.

Tan Zisheng and Bai Xia walked out of the hotel and were still in a deep state of shock. What they saw in the private room challenged their understanding of the laws of nature. How could a bottle of beer hover in the air? What kind of force or energy did Xiao Luo apply?

“Zisheng, do you think Mr. Xiao… Is he a monster?”

Bai Xia muttered as she sat in the passenger seat still unable to contain the emotion in her heart.

Tan Zisheng was still in a daze as he drove his car and did not reply to her. The fact was, he was equally dumbstruck and wondered the same thing. A monster? He certainly looked like one! How could such things exist in this world?

“Zisheng, you were joking about breaking off the engagement with me, weren’t you?”

“I knew it was a joke. You still love me, or you wouldn’t have protected me from that monster.”

“Zisheng, should we tell your father that Mr. Xiao is a monster?”

Bai Xia had not stopped blabbering since she got into the car. After calming down a little, she repeatedly raised the subject of their engagement.

Tan Zisheng found her whining increasingly unbearable, and he couldn’t take it anymore. He turned and glared at Bai Xia. “Can you f*cking shut up and let me have some peace?” he roared.

Right after he spoke, the car suddenly jolted to a violent stop with a loud bang.

CRASH!

They saw nothing but web-like cracks splattered across the entire windshield. In that same instant, the airbags in the console automatically deployed, preventing both Tan Zisheng and Bai Xia from smashing their heads into the front of the car.

Thankfully, Tan Zisheng was not driving fast, merely cruising at about 40 miles per hour. The airbag undoubtedly prevented the two of them from suffering severe injuries, though it left them a little dazed but still aware and able to function.

What is going on?

The car was cruising at a steady speed along the road and he saw no obstructions on the road. What did it hit? A street lamp post?

Tan Zisheng was somewhat confused and had no idea what was going on. He pushed the door open and alighted from the car. Bai Xia pushed the door open as well, but had some trouble squeezing through the car door. And when they looked at the front of the car, they were shocked out of their wits! Their pupils dilated, and their jaws dropped! With blood drained from their faces, they felt nothing but fear and despair spread to every part of their bodies.

Their skins crawled, and a shiver ran down their spines!

Shaking, they instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Standing right in front of the car was a man at least 1.8 meters tall figure, towering over them like a tall pine tree. The car had smashed into him, but he wasn’t thrown back or even injured. Instead, the hood of the car caved in and wrapped around the motionless figure. It was as though he was planted in the ground like a utility pole, and that was exactly the damage that his car sustained when it smashed into him.

The tall man was garbed in a white robe and wore a jade pendant around his neck. His ears were pale, almost white with a hint of red in them. The shape of his ears was unique, as both the front and back of parts of the ears were identical, with ridges looking like a carved art piece. His skin was fair-looking with delicate features, and he tied up his long black hair in a topknot pierced with a bamboo hairpin. He smelled faintly of musk, and incredibly, his pupils were purple.

He emanated an aura that could only be described as “immortal energy,” and the way he looked down his nose gave others the impression that the life forms in this world weren’t worth his consideration.

There was another tall man beside him, also dressed in white, and he had purple eyes as well. However, this man was thinner, and while his looks could not be compared to the first man, he still looked handsome and rather cool. They both had good appearances, especially that first man who stood towering over them. Not only did he appear like an immortal, but his looks could also even be described as “pretty.”

“Who… Who are you?”

Tan Zisheng could not stop trembling, for these two men exuded a dominating presence and a god-like bearing that made people want to prostrate before them in worship. Their towering height contributed in no small part to that perception, and Tan Zisheng could only cower as he stared up to these two titans.

The two tall men acted as though they did not hear his question. The thin man said to the fair-looking white-dressed man, “Your Majesty, why is this world filled with metal lumps that can run? I find them so annoying.”
