"Suit yourself," Ling Xi said indifferently as she passed by the girls, heading towards the school gate; the girls quickly followed on her heels, afraid Ling Xi might change her mind and leave them behind.
...
The blazing sun seemed to transform everything into shattered golden sunlight, including the darkness that ought to be boundless! But can what you see with your naked eyes truly be all that is real?
After all, darkness! It always comes eventually!
...
At the entrance of Dihai Disco.
Ling Xi stood there motionlessly, glanced up, and then slowly walked towards the entrance of the disco with measured steps; the girls stayed close behind her, not daring to leave her side.
In truth, she was very afraid.
Inside the club, the music was deafening, making Ling Xi frown deeply.
Ever since her last life, she had disliked such places—too noisy; at first, her tasks required her to frequent similar venues quite often. Yet, after making a name for herself within the organization, she often skipped tasks that necessitated visiting such locations unless they were too challenging for others or assigned by the organization itself, and she simply couldn't refuse.
...
Since it wasn't quite the start of the nightlife, only some ordinary staff members were inside, tidying up and preparing for the evening's events.
She casually chose a booth and sat down.
"Mengmeng, see if Miaomiao is here," Ling Xi communicated to Mengmeng in her mind.
"Okie dokie, Sister Xi, leave it to the super cute Mengmeng!" Mengmeng replied energetically, then closed her eyes and began sensing everything around her, not missing a single corner.
For an elf like Mengmeng, perceiving everything around her was incredibly simple.
"Miss, we haven't opened for business yet,"
a staff member approached Ling Xi and spoke very courteously.
But upon seeing Ling Xi's face clearly, he gasped; he had worked here for some time and seen many beauties, but none could compare to the girl before him—it was like comparing heaven and earth!
The girl in front of him, her face untouched by makeup, appeared beautifully ethereal like an enchanting elf. All she needed to do was smile, and she would be even more perfect.
Today, he felt he finally understood why some ancient monarchs forsook their kingdoms for the love of a beautiful woman!
With such a beauty by one's side, what use would there be for a kingdom?
"If you don't move your eyes away, I won't mind helping you gouge them out," Ling Xi threatened, her brows arching, her tone ice-cold.
"Uh..." The chilling coldness hit the staff member instantly, making his hair stand on end.
So terrifying...
It was the first time he felt such a terrifying presence from someone, an aura that made his whole body shiver—a feeling not even Brother Apo here could evoke.
"Ask Li Li to come out," Ling Xi cut straight to the chase because, although Mengmeng hadn't found Miaomiao, she had indeed sensed Li Li's presence—she was in one of the rooms inside; perhaps, they were watching them right now!
Ling Xi's icy gaze briefly swept over a nearby hidden camera.
"Certainly, please wait a moment," the staff member responded submissively without even thinking.
By the time he came back to his senses, he could only resign himself to go inside and pass on the message.
Good heavens! This girl was simply too terrifying! Appearances can be deceiving, and this saying truly was philosophical!
