Chapter 961 - Nightmare in Broad Daylight

"Wow, it's like a whole different world up here at night." Chu Liuxiang stared at the city from the roof of the hotel as they waited for the food to arrive.

"The Dragon Spiral Mountain may have much better spiritual energy, but it cannot compare to this place when it comes to scenery."

"You're free to move to this hotel if you want." White Lotus said in a joking voice.

Dinner lasted for about an hour and half.

Afterward, everyone retired in their own room.

"I will see you all tomorrow." White Lotus said to them.

"Yes, good night."

After a quick shower, Yuan entered the massive bed that could easily fit six people and laid there.

'It's been a while since I've slept alone in a bed.' Yuan realized this fact very quickly.

Inside Chu Liuxiang's room, she stared at the cold, empty bed and sighed, "I've gotten too comfortable sleeping with Yuan that I'd forgotten how it feels sleeping alone."

Meanwhile, White Lotus received a phone call from her family.

"What's the situation now?" White Lotus' father, Bai Mengyao asked.

"We just finished dinner and the guests are resting in their room," she said.

"How is Yuan?"

"He's doing great. It's almost like the incident this morning with Zheng Weimin never happened for him."

"I see… What about you? How do you feel after spending an entire day with him? Let me hear your impressions."

"Yuan is a very charming young man. I can tell that he's a genuinely kind person. He's also very humble considering his reputation. I would've never guessed that he was Player Yuan if I didn't already know it beforehand."

"However, I have to admit, he's also a little scary, especially when angered. He's someone that I wouldn't want to offend."

Bai Mengyao suddenly started laughing behind the phone.

"What a surprise! To think that my daughter, who has always disliked men, would have such a high impression on this young man!"

White Lotus blushed after hearing her father's words.

A few moments later, Bai Mengyao stopped laughing and spoke in a serious voice, "I'm glad that you like him. However, the real question is, when will you make your move on him?"

White Lotus turned silent for a moment before speaking, "I think it's a little too early…"

"The slower you move, the more time you give others!"

"I know, but I really don't think I should move now. The two women Yuan brought with him… They're both incredibly beautiful and charming young ladies, and despite acting like they're only friends with each other, I have no doubt that they're his lovers."

"It wouldn't be a wise choice for me to invade their territory at this moment. In fact, I will most likely need their approval before I can join them."

"If I force myself into their relationship, it would only have a negative effect."

Bai Mengyao took several moments to ponder about White Lotus' words.

"Fine, you don't have to seduce him now. However, don't wait too long."

"Yes, father."

White Lotus released a deep sigh after hanging up the phone, feeling immense pressure on her shoulders.

"Although I don't mind having Yuan as my partner… Can I even seduce someone like him? Do I have what it takes to accept the fact that there will be other women in his life? The thought of sharing my husband with other women has never even crossed my mind… This is ridiculous."

White Lotus proceeded to ponder her situation for the rest of the night.

The following morning, after eating breakfast, Yuan and the others left the hotel for another day of touring the city.

'I really hope that I find a present for Yu Rou today…' Meixiu sighed inwardly as they walked from shop to shop.

After touring the city for the whole morning, White Lotus suggested to them, "Let's get some lunch. I know of the perfect restaurant, and it's only a few blocks away from this place."

"That's a good idea." Yuan nodded.

"Let's go." The other two also agreed.

"Great! Follow me."

On their way to the restaurant, White Lotus would talk about her previous experience there.

Halfway there, right as they reached the end of the street and was stopped by the red traffic light, Yuan suddenly started having a bad feeling, almost as though his intuition was warning him.

Trusting his guts, Yuan decided to expand his divine sense until it covered the entire street.

That's when he noticed a black van driving towards their street.

Yuan didn't think too much of this black van at first, but the feeling in his guts got more uncomfortable as the black van got closer to their location.

A few moments later, right as the traffic lights turned green, the black van stopped right in the middle of the crosswalk with its side facing Yuan and the others.

"Watch out!" Yuan suddenly shouted.

Right as Yuan's voice resounded, loud banging sounds filled the streets, and hundreds of small holes would appear on the side of the van that was facing his direction within seconds.

There were multiple people in the black van, and they were all shooting at Yuan's group from inside the van with deadly assault rifles.

"Aaaaah!"

Chaos immediately ensued, and the people in the street started scrambling to safety.

White Lotus and the others subconsciously tried to dodge the incoming bullets, but they quickly realized that something was preventing them from moving.

"Don't move!" Yuan shouted as he held his hands in front of him, using his Qi Manifestation to create a wall of spiritual energy in front of them, protecting them from the bullets. Of course, he was also responsible for restricting their movements.

The bullets that touched Yuan's invisible wall would get caught in his spiritual energy, making it seem like time had stopped for the bullets.

However, despite this, bullets continued to fly without mercy, turning the street into a warzone.

Yuan gritted his teeth in frustration. As much as he wanted to use his flying dagger to retaliate, he did not dare to split his focus, putting all of his attention on defense and the wall before them, which was the only thing preventing the bullets from riddling their bodies with holes.
