They trekked their way back to town, then rode on a bus back to Black Mountain.
“We’re finally back!” The warlocks were excited.
However, they became baffled when they saw two of their own lying unconscious at the entrance.
“What’s going on?”
They were immediately alerted and rushed forward.
They shook one of the people awake. “Th… thieves!” He said groggily.
The warlocks were stunned. ‘Thieves? What kind of a joke was that? This is Black Mountain! How can anyone come in here?’
“Oh no, this is bad!”
The elderly warlock slapped his thigh and exclaimed in astonishment.
He suddenly thought of something, and his face turned pale.
He quickly ran back toward the griffin breeding grounds. Of course, the valley was already empty, save for several scattered griffin feathers.
“Oh, heavens!”
He lifted his head to the sky and roared sorrowfully.
He finally understood why the Taoist master was so friendly earlier.
“God damn those Huaxianese!”
He felt his head go dizzy and his knees turn weak.
He suddenly thought of something else and quickly rushed up the mountain.
His body wobbled and felt faint in the head when he saw the wide-open vault door.
He propped himself against the wall and carefully looked inside. When he saw the now-empty vault, his eyes went wide and he clutched his chest.
“Pfft!” He vomited a mouthful of blood and fell down face-first.
“Grand Elder!”
The other warlocks rushed up from behind. They were stunned by what they saw.
“Pfft!” “Pfft!” “Pfft!”
Several elderly warlocks also vomited blood.
“Oh my god, how could this happen? Everything is gone. How did they carry everything away?”
“The ring, the ring is gone! Oh my god! That’s one of the three major Warlock Artifacts! It’s the treasure of Black Mountain!”
The people rushed into the vault.
“Oh, what’s that? It looks like a piece of paper.”
“Quick, what does it say?”
Someone took the piece of paper. They nearly vomited blood when they saw the words written on it. On it was written “Thanks!” in various languages.
“God damn those Huaxianese!”
Cries of anger and sorrow shook the entire mountain.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao and the others had already boarded the return flight.
Chapter 536 - Meeting Tamamo Again
Capital International Airport, Huaxia.
A plane landed on the runway, and Tang Hao and the others got off the plane.
General Bai had been waiting for them. He quickly rushed up to them and shook hands.
“Great job! Thanks to all of you! You’ve worked hard too, Taoist masters, and you too, Tang Hao.”
General Bai shook hands with each one of them.
They chatted for a while before boarding the vehicles to leave the airport.
They gathered for a while at the base, after which Tang Hao and the Taoist masters rode on a chartered flight back to Provincial City. It was three o’clock in the afternoon when they landed.
Several cars were waiting to pick up the Taoist masters. They were driven by Shabby Taoist Master and other Taoist masters.
Tang Hao split the loot with Taoist Master Qian Ji.
It was a momentous haul. Tang Hao received two-thirds of the griffins as well as the treasures from the vault.
There were gold and other precious metals, but Tang Hao did not want any of that. He gave them to the Taoist masters, so that they could sell them and put the funds into the charity foundation.
According to the Taoist masters, the charity foundation had organized many events and helped many people in need. It was a meritorious deed.
The people who ran the charity foundation made sure that every cent was put to good use, unlike some charity organizations that secretly embezzle funds.
The Taoist masters left after that.
Tang Hao rode in a cab and went back to his residential area.
He went upstairs and to his door. He took out the key and prepared to unlock his door when he suddenly froze.
He could hear the faint sounds of flowing water in his house. A female voice was humming a gentle and melodic tune.
Tang Hao was surprised. He glanced at the address plate and saw that he was at the right place.
‘Why is a woman in my house?’
Tang Hao furrowed his brows in frustration. ‘President Ling, who had stayed here for a long period, doesn’t have the key. Officer Zhao? That’s even more impossible.
‘Assistant Han doesn’t have the key either.
‘This is strange!’
Tang Hao pondered for a while, then unlocked the door and went in.
The apartment was filled with a familiar fragrance. He could not remember where he first encountered that scent.
Tang Hao locked the door behind him and carefully surveyed the apartment.
Everything was still intact. The water sounds were from the bathroom in his bedroom.
He walked toward his room and pushed the door open. He looked around and noticed that on his bed was a set of feminine clothes, a pure white kimono, and some lingerie.
Tang Hao grimaced when he saw those items. He could feel a headache creeping in.
When he saw the kimono, he immediately knew who the person in the bathroom was.
She would be none other than Tamamo.
“Doesn’t she have anything else better to do than take a shower in my apartment?” Tang Hao mumbled and prepared to leave the bedroom.
At the same time, a gentle and coy voice could be heard from the bathroom.
“You’re already back, my darling little brother?”
She sounded casual and alluring.
“I’m not your little brother!” Tang Hao rolled his eyes and mumbled. “What are you doing in my house?” He said impatiently.
Tamamo chuckled and said seductively, “I’m here to visit you, of course! I’ve missed you. You’re so cruel, my dear little brother! If I don’t come and look for you, you probably won’t look for me for the rest of your life.
“Don’t you know that I’ve been thinking about you, every day and every night…”
She sounded quite resentful when she said that.
Tang Hao grimaced. “Fine! We can talk after you’re done with your shower.” He prepared to leave the room.
Tamamo laughed. “I’m already done with my shower, my good little brother. Please hand me my clothes!”
Tang Hao stopped walking.
He turned around to look at the clothes on his bed and blushed.
“That’s not very appropriate. I’ll leave the room, and you can come out and take them yourself!” Tang Hao coughed lightly.
She chuckled mischievously.
“Are you shy? Don’t be shy! I won’t eat you! If you don’t bring me my clothes, then I’ll stay here and never leave.”
Tang Hao was helpless.
“Alright, I’ll hand you your clothes now.”
He grabbed the kimono, walked to the bathroom, pushed the door slightly ajar, and stuck his hand inside.
“Come closer!’ Tamamo said with a smile. Then, there was the sound of water splashing.
“I’ll just stand here!”
Tang Hao did not dare to walk inside. He was afraid that he might not be able to hold back his urges.
He could hear a peal of laughter in the bathroom, then it was the sound of bare feet stepping across a wet floor toward him. Accompanying it was an incredible fragrance.
Tang Hao’s heart beat faster as she stepped closer.
“Your heart is thumping very hard, my dear little brother!” She smiled mischievously.
She was next to the door in no time, but she did not take the clothes. Instead, she stood there.
&nbs
p; Tang Hao coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment.
After a while, she felt that she had teased Tang Hao enough. She took the clothes and swiftly put them on.
“I’m done!”
She spoke softly and opened the door.
Tang Hao was surprised when he saw her.
The woman in front of her had finished taking a shower, and her skin was moist, fair, and delicate. There were still some water droplets on her skin.
A thin layer of water vapor seemed to coat her face.
She smiled and narrowed her long, slit eyes. Her eyes sparkled as she looked seductively at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao looked away. “Why are you here?”
Tamamo chuckled. “Didn’t I tell you that I’m here to visit you? I’ve waited for you for so long, but you’re not back yet. That’s why I took a shower so that we can have dinner together after!”
“Dinner?” Tang Hao was surprised.
“Yes, I’ve made dinner! Come, have a try!”
She skipped out of the bedroom like an excited young girl while pulling Tang Hao’s hand toward the kitchen.
Chapter 537 - May I Kiss You?
In the middle of the dining table was a plate of sushi.
The grains of white rice with pieces of fresh fish on top looked quite tantalizing.
“How does that look? I’ve spent hours on it. It’s my sushi of love!” She dragged Tang Hao to the dining table.
She looked and sounded like a young girl, without any of the seductive maturity earlier.
“Come, sit down!”
She pulled Tang Hao to a chair, then picked up a piece of sushi with a pair of chopsticks.
She stood next to Tang Hao and gently bent over. From where Tang Hao was sitting, he could see the contents beneath her kimono.
The wobbling twin peaks almost caused a nosebleed.
‘Oh my god! She’s not wearing anything inside!’
Tang Hao coughed violently and quickly looked away. Only then he felt the burning urges recede a little.
She did not seem to realize it. Instead, she brought the piece of sushi close to Tang Hao’s mouth. “Come, open your mouth!”
Tang Hao took a bite of the sushi and chewed. “Tastes not bad!” He said.
Tamamo was happy. “If you say that it’s not bad, then it must be delicious! Here, have another piece.” She picked up another piece of sushi and brought it close to Tang Hao’s mouth.
Tang Hao ate several pieces in a row and started to feel embarrassed. “Let me eat myself!”
“No, I want to feed you!”
She pulled a stool over, sat next to Tang Hao, and said coyly.
After she fed Tang Hao another piece, she rested her chin on both of her hands and transfixed her eyes on Tang Hao. Her beautiful eyes were brimming with love.
Her lips were slightly curved in a gentle smile.
“What are you doing?”
Tang Hao was surprised when he saw her looking at him that way.
“I’m looking at you!”
“There’s nothing interesting on my face!”
“You look nice!” She grinned.
She picked up another piece and brought it to Tang Hao’s mouth.
Tang Hao could only open the mouth to accept the sushi while trying hard not to look at her.
Eventually, he finished the entire plate of sushi.
“Alright, now you can say why you’re here!” Tang Hao wiped his mouth and put on a serious face. Even his gaze was cold.
He did not believe that the Dongying woman came to visit just because she missed him.
He could never figure out what the Tamamo woman was thinking.
It was too much of a coincidence that she appeared immediately after he came back from Europe. It was easy to suspect that something was up.
She pouted and said resentfully, “Why don’t you believe me that I really miss you, my dear little brother?”
She paused for a while and smiled. “Of course, there’s another reason why I’m here to visit you this time.”
“Say it!” Tang Hao said coldly.
She resumed her mature self.
“You Huaxianese have been in the limelight lately! You’ve cleaned out the foreign influence in your cities, then went to cause a big fuss in Merrica, and then there’s the recent incident in Europe.
“Everyone around the world is wondering about the person behind this! Someone guessed that he’s from Mao Mountain, but other people.
“I’m also very curious too! That’s why I’m here to ask you. You should know who it is, right?”
She looked at Tang Hao earnestly.
Her last sentence seemed to be hinting at something.
Tang Hao furrowed his brows. “What does it have to do with you?”
“I’m just curious! I’ve investigated a bit and found some leads, but… I can’t believe it. I’m here to verify it with you.”
“What did you find out?”
“The list of people who entered and left the country!” Tamamo smiled seductively. “While I went down the list, I saw a familiar face. It’s the face that I’ve been dreaming of every night! You can’t imagine how surprised I was!”
Tang Hao grimaced.
He had used a forged passport when he went to Merrica, but the photo was indeed his.
Other people might not suspect that it was him, but Tamamo was very familiar with his face.
“So what if it’s me?” Tang Hao said.
Tamamo was surprised when she heard that.
She could figure out the truth from Tang Hao’s tone of voice.
Then, she slightly opened her lips as she felt a pang of fear in her heart.
She had her doubts, but she could not believe that Tang Hao was the one behind it. After all, the boy was too young for a cultivator. She was already amazed when they fought for the first time.
‘How did he manage to break through and become a Perfected person?
‘Furthermore, he’s really the famed Dragon of Huaxia?
It was quite unbelievable when she pinned her suspicions on him, and it was even harder to accept the fact that it was truly him.
She sat there in a daze.
A long time later, a bitter smile appeared on her face. ‘This guy is such a freak!’
However, she began to smile happily.
She had thought that the boy was freakishly powerful the first time she met him. Now, she had confirmed that he was indeed a freak.
‘He’s already a Perfected Person at nineteen years old. What will happen in his future?’
“You’re so amazing, my dear little brother! I admire you!” She looked at Tang Hao infatuatedly while propping her chin on her hands.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes. “I didn’t admit to anything.”
“I know!” Tamamo chuckled.
Then, she said, “Can I kiss you?”
“Huh?” Tang Hao was shocked. He immediately blushed and shook his head. “No!”
“How selfish! Can’t I kiss you even once?” She pouted.
She suddenly thought of something, and her eyes sparkled. “My dear little brother, I’ll give you one million dollars every time you let me kiss you. Merrican dollars!”
She winked and bit her lip in an attempt to seduce Tang Hao.
“One million? Merrican dollars?” Tang Hao was shocked.
“Yes, one million Merrican dollars per kiss for your charity foundation. Do we have a deal?” Tamamo chuckled.
Tang Hao was discreetly shocked. ‘One million dollars per kiss? That’s very generous, but I know that she’s incredibly rich, and that money is nothing but loose change to her.
‘Should I accept the offer?’ Tang Hao hesitated.
“Whatever. I should accept it! It sounds like a great deal!” Tang Hao mumbled and nodded. “Well… you may kiss me, but only here.”
He pointed at his cheek.
His face was blushing intensely.
‘Why do I feel as though I’m hustling myself?�
�
However, Tamamo did not listen to the second half of his sentence.
She leaned close and looked obsessively at Tang Hao. Her gaze was brimming with infatuation.
Without saying another word, her arm hooked Tang Hao’s neck and brought him close, then brought her red lips onto his.
The kiss seemed unending…
He was almost out of breath when Tamamo finally pulled away. “That’s one million. How about another?”
She leaned close and kissed him again.
Chapter 538 - : I Have Nothing But Money
Another kiss.
Tang Hao almost could not catch his breath.
She let go of him after a long while.
“That should be about it, right?” Tang Hao panted.
“It’s only two kisses. That’s only two million!” Tamamo chuckled.
“That’s already two million! It’s more than enough!” Tang Hao said frantically.
“It’s only two million dollars. I have nothing but money. All you need to do is sit there like a good boy!” She chuckled and forced her lips on his once more.
“That’s ten million dollars. That should be enough!” Tang Hao said frantically as their lips parted again.
He was almost at his limit.
“Only ten million? That’s not enough!” She said assertively and kissed him again.
They separated a long while later.
“That’s more like it…” she chuckled.
She winked mischievously at Tang Hao.
“Oh, right! That was my first kiss. Isn’t it a good deal for you?”
“Your first kiss?” Tang Hao was shocked.
“Yes! And you’ve taken it.”
She leaned close and whispered into Tang Hao’s ear. “I’m not leaving tonight!”
“Ahem! No! Please, no!” Tang Hao said frantically.
“Aww, too bad!” She pursed and said dejectedly.
She lifted Tang Hao’s chin with a delicate finger and mumbled, “I’d like to kiss you one more time!” She bent over and did exactly that.
