Chapter 2366 - Back to Night Charm (2/2)

As he trained, he also earned another reward. He managed to bring his Dongxuan Sutra up to the level of Duke. It had an element, but because he didn’t have any more Duke genes, he couldn’t open up any more gene locks.

After The Story of Genes opened its third gene lock, it became difficult to absorb the power of the Kingese in his body. It was like the Kingese had fully merged with Han Sen’s cells, and they could no longer be separated.

Han Sen still wished to stay in King’s Garden to absorb more king air, though. He wanted to open three gene locks for the Blood-Pulse Sutra and the Dongxuan Sutra. His hopes were soon dashed, however, because Bai Ling Shuang eventually showed up.

“Brother Sixteen, I’m headed back to Night Charm Town,” Bai Ling Shuang said in a friendly tone.

“I’d like to go there myself, but I haven’t gotten an invitation.” Han Sen then thought to himself, “There’s no way that she’s randomly being nice. What does she want this time?”

“I’ll have Cher and the drinks ready. I will be the host tonight.” Bai Ling Shuang gave him a lazy smile.

“In that case… I’ll be there.” Han Sen’s eyes were full of greed.

Han Sen didn’t actually want to go, of course. But since Bai Ling Shuang had extended such an explicit invitation, he didn’t think he could turn her down. He would have to go eventually, so agreeing immediately would cast fewer doubts on his identity.

Bai Yi’s ardent desire for Cher was well-known. If he didn’t accept the invitation, that would be very strange.

In the most luxurious suite in Night Charm Town, Han Sen had draped himself over a sofa. He held Cher casually under one arm, and he swirled a glass of wine with his other hand. He looked at Bai Ling Shuang and said, “Sister Ten, tell me what it is you really want. You have been very generous with me this evening. Surely this isn’t simply an opportunity for us to hang out.”

“The exams for the royal children are coming up soon. What are you planning to do about them, Brother Sixteen?” Bai Ling Shuang asked with a smile.

Han Sen had a sip of wine and squeezed Cher’s butt with a smile. “What can I do? I’m just a first-tier King, and half-deified royal children will be competing. Even some deifieds will participate. What chance do I stand?”

Bai Ling Shuang looked like she wanted to roll her eyes, but she still smiled and said, “Maybe not. The exams are something Father has established so that our progress can be reviewed. We don’t need to be number one. We just need to perform well to impress Father. If we do that, we can be rewarded.”

After pausing, Bai Ling Shuang said, “I have witnessed your recent progress with my own eyes, Brother Sixteen. If you perform just as well in the exam, Father will notice. You will be heavily rewarded.”

“I don’t think so,” Han Sen said with an uncomfortable feeling.

Bai Ling Shuang looked at Han Sen for a while and said, “If you really don’t want to get first place in the exams, I have a way in which we can make money. Are you interested in hearing more?”

“I lack pretty much everything. I have a distinct lack of money, too. Please tell me, Sister Ten.” Han Sen suddenly looked much more alert, and he considered Bai Ling Shuang with interest.

She smiled and said, “You know that in the exam, there is a task that sends you to Bone Mountain? Bone Mountain is obscenely dangerous for ordinary royal children. Aside from Brother Four and Sister Three, who are deified, any other royal child that goes there might fail. Even the crown prince. But Brother Sixteen, you are different. You have the Kingese protection. You can surely reach the peak of Bone Mountain.”

“Why don’t you just tell me what you’re after?” Han Sen frowned.

“You help me to get to the peak of Bone Mountain, and I will give you whatever you want.” Bai Ling Shuang’s smile had vanished, and she looked dead serious.
