Either Noah’s Ark had a faulty GPS or China’s magnetic force was too strong. In the end, Noah’s Ark appeared once again in the city in which Wang Xiaoming and Tony resided.

And it was, once again, opposite Wu Zhenjian’s unfortunate hotel.

So, as Tony was handing over his resignation letter and contemplating whether he should toss the goldfish bowl that was sitting on the desk, the sunlight on his face got blocked.

The brightly lit and warm manager’s office instantly turned as cold and threatening as a cellar.

…

Wu Zhenjian and Tony both turned around to look at the window.

The original empty old soccer field was gone, replaced by a large building that was even taller than their own hotel.

Wu Zhengjian stared at it blankly for a moment and then turned his head back to ask Tony, “Was that there yesterday?”

It wasn’t Tony’s first time seeing that building, so he nodded very calmly. “Yup.”

“…” Wu Zhengjian’s voice started trembling. “The day before that?”

“Yup.”

“The month before that?”

“Yup.”

“… How long has that been there?” Wu Zhengjian’s entire person was wandering on the borders of a full breakdown.

Tony looked at him in utter confusion. “It’s always been there.”

…

Wu Zhengjian’s body shook a few times and he pressed his palms against his desk. He slowly turned around and stared intently at the tall building, falling silent for a very long time.

Tony clutched his stomach, which hurt from trying to hold in his laughter, and tried very hard to say in a normal voice, “B*tch.”

“Huh?” Wu Zhengjian responded subconsciously.

“Have you seen The Matrix ?”

“I have.” Wu Zhengjian’s mind was not completely there.

Tony said in a philosophical way, “Actually, the space that humans live in might not exist in reality. You think you’re a human, but you might not be. You might be a bitch, and one that everyone has the right to kill. Your eyes could be blind. What you see could be an illusion. Your ears shut by glue, your mouth fished from a sewer, you…”

“Hold up,” Wu Zhengjian couldn’t help but interrupt. “Why do I feel like you’re badmouthing me?”

Tony replied, “That’s also your illusion. Turn around if you don’t believe me.”

Wu Zhenjian turned around in semi-disbelief, only to see Shi Feixia looking at him right outside the window. Behind the man stood a black-haired young man who was beautiful beyond belief and had wings.

…

Wu Zhenjian collapsed straight onto the ground with both hands clutching his chest, as if he had no plans of returning to the world of the living.

Tony walked over and stomped so hard he left two footprints on the man’s face before he happily opened the window.

The first thing Shi Feixia did when he came in was to rush over and step on the man as well!

In terms of how time passed in Noah’s Ark, he had left this hotel many years ago. So why had his hatred toward the man not decreased and actually increased every day instead?

…

As a venting outlet and something to bear the anger, the man was definitely doing his best.

That was the conclusion that Shi Feixia reached.

After Tony made sure that Wu Zhenjian was beyond recognition, he decided to let the man live. “Uh, that’s enough.” Otherwise after Shi Feixia left, he’d be the one who would get treated like a murderer.

Shi Feixia moved his feet away and wiped the sweat from his forehead as he answered, “Mmhmm, it would be too easy for him to be killed. We can’t skip the healing process!”

“…”

Tony suddenly slapped his own thigh and said, “Wang Xiaoming and Baal are looking for you!”

“Us?” Shi Feixia turned around to look at Isefel.

Isefel was currently flipping through the books that Wu Zhenjian had placed on the bookshelves as decoration with interest.

Shi Feixia turned around, stroked his chin and asked, “Are they going to break up? I can be Wang Xiaoming’s backup. Tell him not to be afraid! Kick the person who started the whole no-wearing-clothes thing to the curb.”

Tony coughed once and announced, “They’re getting ready to get married.”

…

Shi Feixia’s hand on his chin stopped and a moment later he said, “Thankfully I’ve caught my jaw.”

When Wang Xiaoming and Baal arrived, Tony was treating Shi Feixia and Isefel to a meal in the Chinese restaurant in the hotel.

The two additions didn’t just add two extra sets of chopsticks.

The instant Baal and Isefel met each other’s gazes, the irritating smell of gunpowder started wafting through the air.

Tony couldn’t hold back the sneeze.

The smell of gunpowder lightened.

Shi Feixia gestured at Wang Xiaoming with the brightest possible smile on his face.

Wang Xiaoming sat down as Shi Feixia indicated and, naturally, Baal also squeezed in himself. So the seating arrangement became: Tony, Isefel, Shi Feixia, Wang Xiaoming, Baal.

“…” Sitting between two fallen angels—and neither of them easy characters to deal with—Tony felt extremely pressured.

Shi Feixia asked Wang Xiaoming with utter seriousness, “Did you know that there is one thing you absolutely have to do before getting married?”

Wang Xiaoming looked at him wide-eyed. “Hold a wedding?”

“No, by the time you have a wedding, the opportunity would be gone and it would be too late.”

Wang Xiaoming thought for a moment and asked, “Buy a ring?”

“That you can only get married after buying a ring is some bullshit that jewelers came up with. It’s just like phones getting random and meaningless texts claiming that if you don’t pass it on, you’ll experience misfortune. It’s marketing forced upon you. This thing doesn’t need emotions but logic.” Shi Feixia paused and realized that Wang Xiaoming’s mind seemed elsewhere. “Do you know what I’m saying?”

Wang Xiaoming thought for a moment and then answered, “That thing that’s full of emotions and lacks rationality? I’ve already done it.”

Shi Feixia glanced at Baal and then sighed. “I think there are two. The thing that I was talking about just now, the thing that you absolutely have to do is… be sure!” That guy was the ultimate Boss of Genesis, the evil guy who would even use darkness for his own means!

Baal’s face instantly turned chilly. “What did you say?”

Shi Feixia covered his face with his hand and kept looking behind him, calling out softly, “Isefel, Isefel…”

Isefel looked up from the book he had just commandeered and said calmly, “It’s a business deal.”

…

Shi Feixia’s mouth opened and closed, and he struggled with himself for a long time before he looked up and said to Wang Xiaoming, “We’d welcome you to hold your wedding at Noah’s Ark. I promise, this will be an experience you’ll never forget.”

Tony was working hard at eating the food when he suddenly interrupted them to ask, “Can I not go?” He really didn’t want to go back to Noah’s Ark. For him, that had been a nightmare.

Shi Feixia looked at him like he had said something unbelievable. “Did you think that someone would invite you to attend?”

Tony, who hadn’t wanted to go in the first place, felt like he had been cast aside and glanced at Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming mused, “Cousin, I don’t think you belong there either.”

…

Tony wanted to throw down his chopsticks.

When he had been forced into Noah’s Ark against his will, how come nobody had asked whether he belonged there?

But nobody around the table paid his sadness any mind, because the only two who would have paid attention to him were now passionately involved in a discussion regarding the wedding.

As the first hotel in the world, Noah’s Ark would finally see its first wedding.

As soon as the news arrived at the Ark, the employees all got excited and dug through their arsenal to give their best for the celebration.

That kind of passion made Wang Xiaoming feel greatly pressured. “No need to be too extravagant, we want something simple.” Though he had a set salary every month, this was the first month and he hadn’t managed to save anything. If they were really going to go all out, he feared that they would have to write a postdated check.

Shi Feixia gave him a reassuring look. “Relax, the first one to test the waters will get a deal. As long as you let us do what we want… the price is negotiable.”

Baal raised his eyebrows. “As long as you do what I want, the price can be even more negotiable. ”

Shi Feixia pursed his lips unhappily. “Price is a flexible thing.” That was a threat.

Baal ignored it. “Send it to Lucifer.”

…

No wonder humans didn’t have wings.

How shameless did they have to be in order to grow those?!

Shi Feixia kept using his eyes to show Baal just how much he disdained the fallen angel.

Wang Xiaoming felt a bit self-conscious because Gin kept giving him probing looks. Ever since becoming a Kindred, he understood that Kindred could identify the generation through the scent of the blood. So Gin must have figured out that he had become a Kindred, but Gin wasn’t looking at him the way the younger generations looked at him… nor was he looking at him the way an older generation would look at him…

He thought about it and then walked up to Gin. “Let’s talk privately?”

Gin’s lips curved. “Alright.”

“Not allowed!” The groom-to-be followed close behind.

Gin remarked, “This is between us Kindred.”

“Between Kindred?” Shi Feixia paused.

Wang Xiaoming only remembered then that he had forgotten to announce that event. He hurriedly revealed two fangs and smiled at Shi Feixia. “Mmhmm, I’m a Kindred.”

Shi Feixia thought for a moment and then asked cautiously, “What generation?”

Wang Xiaoming answered honestly, “Second.”

Shi Feixia nodded happily. “From now on, I’ll call you ‘Gin’s uncle.’”

“…” Gin pretended there was a mosquito buzzing in his ear. He told Wang Xiaoming, “Let’s talk privately.”

Baal snorted coldly again, “I said, not allowed!”

Wang Xiaoming pulled on Baal’s sleeve and said, “It’s okay. I’m a second generation Kindred. I have a duty to solve his troubles.”

Gin, “…” Resist! He had to resist! He only had to resist just a bit more, clear and the air, and then no more.

…

Two bats flew up to the 50th floor and returned to their human forms.

As soon as Gin landed, he revealed his two fangs and smiled a fake smile. He asked, “Do you know why there are so few second generations? Only two counting you?” Without wanting for an answer, Gin simply continued in his cold voice, “Because the others have been vanquished.”

Wang Xiaoming looked at him and said after a long pause, “Oh.”

Gin asked again, “Do you know who destroyed them?”

Wang Xiaoming waited for him to supply the answer.

As expected, Gin continued, “Third generation Kindred.”

The air froze.

The look Gin gave Wang Xiaoming was filled with soul-freezing coldness.

“Oh.”

Gin noted that Wang Xiaoming’s expression hadn’t changed and couldn’t help but lose his temper and ask, “Don’t you have anything else to say?”

Wang Xiaoming contemplated deeply and then said with a frown, “Next time I see Lord Cain, I’ll have to mention to him that there’s a problem in the Kindred when it comes to respecting elders and taking care of the younger generations.”

Gin, “…”
