Infuriated by Xu Fan, Asao Mai gave him a fierce glare.

However, she underestimated Xu Fan's thick-skinned nature. He acted as if he didn't see her glare, climbed into bed swiftly, and started sleeping.

"Bastard..."

This attitude showed he didn't see himself as an outsider, leaving Asao Mai listening to his deep breathing, both angry and helpless.

In terms of shamelessness, she was nowhere near his level!

After a busy day, Asao Mai was too worn out to argue with Xu Fan any further. After turning off the lights, she followed him into bed.

The pitch-black room was silent, with only Xu Fan's deep breaths audible. The environment was conducive to sleep, yet at this moment, sleep eluded Asao Mai.

A young maiden, she'd never shared a bed with a man before?

Even though Xu Fan was behaving himself, she still felt extraordinarily shy.

Not having done anything, should she still be considered pure?

Facing away from Xu Fan, Asao Mai stared into the darkness and couldn't help her wild thoughts.

As she drifted into her thoughts, her mind faded into sleep, and soon she dozed off.

Ring ring ring!

She wasn't sure how much time had passed when suddenly, the phone's ringing cut through the pitch-black room.

Xu Fan awoke startled by the ringing, opening his eyes in speechless dismay.

This little lady, she said she wouldn't take advantage of me, and yet I just fell asleep and here she is!

Asao Mai, like an octopus, had taken Xu Fan as a pillow and was hugging him tightly.

Who knows what dream she was having, but the silly girl had a smile on her sleeping face.

"Ahem ahem..."

Not wanting to disturb Asao Mai's sweet dream, yet with the phone ringing incessantly and with her wrapped around him, it was impossible to answer it without waking her.

After coughing several times, Asao Mai finally woke up.

"Why? I was sleeping so well. You're so annoying..."

Rubbing her eyes in a grumble, she opened them.

Her face showed some annoyance, obvious in blaming Xu Fan for interrupting her dream.

"Hmph, you're the annoying one."

This woman took advantage of me, and I haven't even gotten annoyed with her yet.

Xu Fan pouted and retorted.

"You!"

With that quick retort, Asao Mai instantly sobered up.

Initially planning to have a verbal battle with Xu Fan, but upon seeing her unseemly posture, she instantly got a terrible scare.

"Ah! How… how did I..."

Before going to sleep, she was worried if Xu Fan would get any ideas once she fell asleep, but it turned out her worries were completely unnecessary.

Xu Fan didn't do anything, why did she end up all over him...

"Mm, you've had your fun, now can you get up? I need to answer the phone."

Just as she was pondering how to explain, Xu Fan reminded her.

"Oh oh..."

Too startled to say anything, Asao Mai hurriedly rolled over to the side.

The phone hadn't been hung up yet, likely an important call. Xu Fan didn't have the time to tease the lass and got up to answer it.

"Hmm?"

Glancing at the phone, Xu Fan realized it was Yoshida Shun calling him.

With today's earlier events, normally, this guy should've been too scared to call him recklessly.

Unless it's regarding the task he had assigned him that had some progress.

Curious about what lead Yoshida Shun might have, Xu Fan hurriedly answered the call.

"Hey, Yoshida Shun, what's up?"

"B-boss, the matter you asked me to investigate has a lead."

Upon hearing Xu Fan's voice, Yoshida Shun got straight to the point without hesitation.

Just as I suspected, Xu Fan asked, "Tell me more."

"The thing is, you… you asked me to look into the Martial Artist sneaking into Ancient Nara?"

"I've found some clues."

Not sure if it's just bad luck, Yoshida Shun thought himself utterly unfortunate.

Soon after Xu Fan left, someone else sought him out.

Specifically asking for him, requesting he handles tasks.

First, the visitor's attitude wasn't kind, and on top of the recent grievances Xu Fan caused, he was now treated like a dog by another. How could Yoshida Shun stomach this?

He immediately clashed with the visitor!

However, it ended poorly as the visitor's prowess far exceeded Yoshida Shun's imagination. Within minutes, all of his people were effortlessly subdued.

The visitor was clearly displeased with Yoshida Shun's attitude, and under subsequent threats, Yoshida Shun promptly agreed to work for them.

As the local gang leader of Ancient Nara, being bullied consecutively by two Dragons from across the sea made Yoshida Shun feel exceedingly aggrieved.

"B-boss, rest assured, about your matters, I haven't told that guy anything."

After recounting the events to Xu Fan, Yoshida Shun made assurances.

With two foreign Dragons, he could only choose to side with one of them.

The reason for his unwavering allegiance to Xu Fan was due to the Cold Jade Poison within him.

If he sided with the other guy, he was dead for sure!

He could only hope Xu Fan could resolve the other guy.

Otherwise, his fate was sealed as well.

"..."

Hearing Yoshida Shun's misfortune, Xu Fan could only attribute it to bad luck.

As for the Martial Artist mentioned by Yoshida Shun, Xu Fan already had an answer, likely the one who stole the Seven Treasures Relic and Ten-Handed Sword.

What a stroke of luck, Xu Fan finally caught up on his trail and couldn't help but feel excited.

"Where are you now? I'll come to find you."

It was inconvenient to talk about much over the phone. Xu Fan asked Yoshida Shun's whereabouts directly.

Contemplating a personal visit, to have him recount everything face to face.

"I... I'm at home, I... I don't dare go anywhere..."

Upon Xu Fan's inquiry, Yoshida Shun felt so wronged that he almost cried.

Normally at this hour, he'd be out living it up somewhere.

But now, damn it, he was hiding under his blanket trembling with fear.

Having been rubbed into the ground by two big shots, Yoshida Shun was truly terrified.

Heaven knows if he dared to wander outside, would he run into a third Dragon from across the sea?

At this moment, he felt that only home was truly safe!

"Boss, please come and find me quickly, I'm about to cry from fear..."
