Twisted Dreams

Liu Lingwei looked distressed:

"Can you give me your phone number? I’ll add you later."

Li Yang took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Liu Lingwei.

Liu Lingwei accepted it like a treasure.

[Old Town Chinese Medicine Shop.]

[General Manager: Li Yang.]

[Phone Number: xxxxxxx]

This was Li Yang’s business card from a long time ago. Although it was just a small pharmacy, he boldly claimed to be the general manager.

Liu Lingwei carefully tucked the business card into her chest and said:

"Mr. Li, I’m currently a teacher at Guardian Dao Academy."

Li Yang said:

"Oh, changed careers; being a teacher is pretty good."

Liu Lingwei said:

"The person sitting next to me earlier was the dean of Guardian Dao Academy."

Li Yang recalled the elderly man in hip-hop clothing.

The rank was ordinary, only Tier Three.

But that old man’s soul was the most powerful Li Yang had ever seen.

Of course, this power was only relative to ordinary people.

Liu Lingwei’s next words were hesitant:

"Our dean, our dean..."

Li Yang quietly waited for Liu Lingwei to continue.

Liu Lingwei bit her lip:

"Our dean wants to invite you to be a teacher at Guardian Dao Academy."

After speaking, Liu Lingwei couldn’t lift her head in embarrassment.

She really didn’t know what Dean Li was thinking, inviting Li Yang to be a teacher at Guardian Dao Academy.

In terms of worldly power, Li Yang was extremely wealthy.

In their villa area, he had a seaside villa, which was only his temporary resting place.

As for the extraordinary circle, Li Yang was even more enigmatic.

He’s an extraordinary person even the Dragon King treats as a distinguished guest!

Such a figure, strong in both worldly and extraordinary circles, why would he choose to become a mere teacher at Guardian Dao Academy?

Although being a teacher at Guardian Dao Academy is an excellent job for many ordinary extraordinaries.

Liu Lingwei quietly lifted her head, as expected, Li Yang’s face showed signs of doubt.

Li Yang raised his eyebrow:

"Invite me to be a teacher?"

Liu Lingwei nodded thick-skinnedly:

"If you’re willing to be a teacher at Guardian Dao Academy, just let me know on WeChat."

Out of politeness, Li Yang did not immediately decline and said:

"I will think about it."

After saying that, Li Yang snapped his fingers.

A pitch-black magic circle appeared in the sky, and ominous and evil power spread from the magic circle.

The Undead Whale slowly swam out from the magic circle.

First came a head as large as a house, then a body even larger than a plane.

Liu Lingwei stared in shock at the massive creature.

This monster, what rank could it be!

Tier Three?

Or... Tier Four?!

Li Yang grabbed Suzu’s hand, jumped into the Undead Whale’s mouth, waved at Liu Lingwei, then the whale closed its mouth and swam away.

Liu Lingwei raised her hand slowly, whispered:

"Goodbye."

...

South Sea, in the villa, in the study.

Li Yang looked at the last line of the Hunter’s Manual and remained silent for a long time.

To go or not to go to the Lost City, that is the question.

If he goes to the city, the worst result is being trapped in the Lost City by Tie Lin.

But he can resurrect using the Celestial Ghost.

He can be in the Lost City and continue controlling the Demon Club using the Celestial Ghost’s body.

However, the Celestial Ghost’s body, after all, is not as good as the Corpse of Death.

Li Yang lit a cigarette, lazily leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling, and blew smoke rings.

If he doesn’t go to the Lost City, can he really bear the cost?

Suzu is the Black Witch, possessing the ability to foresee the future.

It’s hard to say this letter wasn’t left by Suzu in another world, in the Undersea World.

Maybe she’s asking him for help.

And he can only save her by going to the Lost City.

Compared to being trapped in the Lost City and... losing Suzu, which should he choose?

Isn’t the answer obvious?

At this moment, the door to the study suddenly opened, and Suzu bounced in holding a tablet:

"Li Yang! I want another month’s membership!"

Li Yang glanced at Suzu:

"Didn’t I get you a three-month membership?"

Suzu shook her head and stared at Li Yang, her big eyes gleaming:

"I finished watching Naruto, now I want to watch Boruto.

Boruto is on another app, can you get me a month’s membership on that app?

I promise I’ll finish it within a month!

I’m so curious about what Naruto’s son is like!"

Li Yang sat up:

"Boruto isn’t exciting."

Suzu scoffed:

"Impossible!"

Li Yang thought a while and said:

"Naruto died."

Suzu was dumbfounded, incredulously:

"What did you say?"

Li Yang stared at Suzu, enunciating:

"Naruto died."

Suzu sat on the ground, her eyes void.

Her beliefs collapsed!

"Li Yang! I hate you!" Suzu angrily shouted, then ran out of the room.

Watching Suzu’s back, Li Yang fell into recollection.

When he first brought Suzu back, this little black cat was always throwing tantrums.

Li Yang stood up, extinguished the cigarette, put on his coat, and donned his hat.

No matter what, Suzu is family.

If there really comes a day when he needs to sacrifice everything to save Suzu, he should make the right choice, right?

Position, money, power.

All the things mortals pursue, how could they compare to the preciousness of family?

...

Atlantic Ocean Region.

A whale leapt out of the water, splashing large sprays.

A Headless Giant emerged from the whale’s mouth.

The Headless Giant dove into the water, identified a direction, and shot towards it quickly.

The Undead Whale followed the Headless Giant, winding its enormous tail.

According to that Hunter’s Manual, Li Yang knew the Celestial Ghost had escaped from the Lost City in life.

The Headless Giant knew exactly where the Lost City was.

The Undead Whale swam for an unknown time and depth, until finally seeing a city.

That city resembled the Undersea Dragon Palace; despite being surrounded by water, it had no buoyancy, and breathing was possible.

Li Yang exited the whale’s mouth, recalled the Headless Giant, and strode into the Lost City.

The Lost City was different from the city at Dragon Palace; it was larger, like a bustling metropolis.

In the city, there were internet cafes, cafes, bars, shops, and even office buildings.

Now it was half-past eight in the morning, the peak time in the city.

Office workers hurriedly scurried on the roads.

Women held children’s hands, heading towards school.

If this wasn’t underwater, Li Yang would almost believe this was just a regular city.

Li Yang quickly noticed something unusual.

The roadside breakfast stall owner’s pot was empty, yet he loudly called out:

"Fried dough sticks! Five yuan for two!"

The young man at the car beauty shop held a dry hose, washing a rusty, tireless car.

Very eerie, everyone seemed like broken NPCs, performing life tasks long unnecessary.

Li Yang continued to wander, discovering more anomalies.

Everyone here lived like ordinary people, but their eyes were hollow, like the dead.

Li Yang walked into a small alley. Suddenly, a dirty little beggar approached, holding a broken bowl:

"Uncle, can you spare some change? I’m so hungry."

Li Yang looked at the boy, took a coin from his pocket, and placed it in the boy’s bowl.

The boy continued staring at Li Yang, greed appeared in his hollow eyes:

"Uncle, you’re not from here, are you?

I’m so hungry, can I eat you?"
