Chapter 10

**************************************************************************************************************

"Hey? Travel... is that right?" A relatively young man's voice came from the phone in Wang Dong's hand. His name was Zhou Xiaotu, the "personal assistant" assigned to Wang Dong.

After all, as leaders of various forces, Yu Qing and others couldn't spend too much time waiting for every command from Wang Dong—after all, the emergence of demon hunters in China had already started a series of power shifts.

"Is there a problem?" Wang Dong asked, puzzled. Just as he was about to say, "If there's trouble, forget it," he heard Zhou Xiaotu respond with lightning speed, "No! No problem at all! Your will is my goal!"

"..." Wang Dong's lips twitched a couple of times, and he said a bit hesitantly, "Ah... that... that's good."

After hanging up, Wang Dong leaned back in his chair and said to Aisibei, "Aisai, why do I feel so awkward?"

"Clack clack~" Aisibei laughed and said to Wang Dong, "Don't you know? In the eyes of a small fry like him, you are a big shot who can decide his life and death with just a word."

Wang Dong was taken aback. Just a word... to decide someone's life and death? He hadn't thought about it, but if he did, it wasn't unimaginable.

"However, Wang Dong." Aisibei looked at Wang Dong seriously and said, "Remember, you only have status on this planet, but not the corresponding power!"

Wang Dong nodded at Aisibei and said, "I know. Although they call me the 'Eighth King,' I know it's only because I'm the only demon hunter in China!"

Before Wang Dong reaches a certain level, Yu Qing and others would support him, but not wholeheartedly.

"So, I'm really not good at this kind of thing." Wang Dong scratched his head helplessly and said, "Ah, I won't think about it. As long as I get stronger, that's all that matters!"

"Clack clack! That's right!" Aisibei laughed loudly, straddling Wang Dong's abdomen, and looked down at him with a smile, saying, "My other half, remember, in the star domain, power is the best passport!"

At that moment, Wang Dong couldn't help but think of what the two-star demon hunter had said, "As long as I have power, I will get everything!" He couldn't help but counter Aisibei, "But, don't lose your true self!"

Hearing Wang Dong's words, Aisibei blinked, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Mm-hm!"

"Ding dong," Wang Dong heard a clear doorbell ring, and he was a bit surprised. Then, as if remembering something, he picked up Aisibei and held her in his arm, stood up from the sofa, and looked at the monitor by the door—

A man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a suit and carrying a large briefcase, was standing at his door.

"Hmm, it's Zhou Xiaotu." Wang Dong muttered, then pressed the intercom button: "The door is open, come in."

In the next moment, Wang Dong felt a lightness on his arm. Aisibei left a message, "I won't show myself," and then disappeared into his shadow.

Wang Dong scratched his head helplessly. Aisibei always refused to interact with anyone other than Wang Dong, and he didn't know why.

After waiting quietly for a few minutes, when the door made a crisp "knock knock knock" sound, Wang Dong gently pulled it open.

"Sorry, I forgot to prepare a maid; it was my mistake to have you, the king, open the door yourself..." As soon as the door opened, Wang Dong heard Zhou Xiaotu's apology. This made him think, "This is the status difference in a power-based society, isn't it?" He said, "No need, I'm not a king, I'm just an ordinary person."

If it were an ordinary person, a commoner, they might just exclaim, "Wow, this is so surreal, is this a movie?" But for people in this circle, Wang Dong was currently in a "honeymoon period" with the Heavenly Order Sect and the Martial Arts Alliance. To make Wang Dong happy, these organizations would do things.

"No, no, no, you are the king! How can you be an ordinary person!" Zhou Xiaotu waved his hands hurriedly and quickly pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase, saying, "Here are some good travel destinations I just collected. Please take a look, Your Majesty!"

"..." Wang Dong looked at the stack of documents in Zhou Xiaotu's hand with disbelief. It had been less than ten minutes, and this stack of at least thirty to forty travel guides...

Seemingly misunderstanding the reason for Wang Dong's daze, Zhou Xiaotu said anxiously, "Sorry, I made you come to the door yourself, I'll... I'll..."

"Stop!" Wang Dong quickly interrupted Zhou Xiaotu, a bit exasperated, "I'm just surprised at your efficiency. Don't worry, just give me the documents."

"Yes!" Zhou Xiaotu handed the travel guides to Wang Dong, who took them and, while thinking, "This must be what feudal society was like," sat down on the sofa and started flipping through the guides.

[Aisai, is there any place you want to go?] Wang Dong asked Aisibei softly. For him, where to go wasn't important; what mattered was being able to go with Aisibei.

[Hmm.] Aisibei thought for a moment and said, [Let's go to the Inner Mongolia grassland!]

[Eh?] Wang Dong was taken aback and asked, a bit puzzled, [Why the Inner Mongolia grassland when there are so many beautiful places?]

Aisibei smiled mysteriously and said, [This is the time for you to show your worth~]

Wang Dong scratched his head and said, "Then let's go to the Inner Mongolia grassland."

"Alright, Your Majesty, I'll arrange a private jet right away." Zhou Xiaotu nodded slightly and said, "May I ask...?"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Wang Dong quickly said, "A private jet??"

"Huh? Yes!" Zhou Xiaotu looked at Wang Dong, puzzled, and said, "What's wrong?"

"Uh... just buy two regular plane tickets, for tomorrow afternoon." Wang Dong looked at Zhou Xiaotu, a bit annoyed. This was too much, a private jet...

"That won't do!" Zhou Xiaotu said hurriedly, "You are the king, how can you take a regular plane!"

"I've already said, I'm not a king. Treat me as an ordinary person. Just regular plane tickets!" Wang Dong sighed and pointed to the travel guides on the table, saying, "Leave these here."

"..." Zhou Xiaotu opened his mouth but, seeing Wang Dong's expression, nodded and turned to leave.

"Clack clack~" Aisibei emerged from Wang Dong's shadow, looking at the tired Wang Dong and said softly, "You're not used to it yet, are you?"

"How could I be used to it?" Wang Dong rubbed his face helplessly and said, "I've been an ordinary, unimportant person since I was a child. Suddenly becoming a king... what am I supposed to do!"

"Unimportant?" Aisibei frowned and looked at Wang Dong, asking, "Tell me about your childhood."

"There's not much to tell." Wang Dong shrugged helplessly and said, "I've been living alone since elementary school. There was a nanny with me back then, and my parents paid her regularly. When I started middle school, the nanny left, and I've been living alone ever since."

Aisibei blinked and looked at Wang Dong, asking, "Then... what about your parents?"

"Well, they only come to see me on my birthday every year..." Wang Dong scratched his head, a bit troubled, and said, "When I was young, I often asked the nanny about my parents, but as I grew up, I didn't crave it as much. After all, I've been living alone for so long." Saying this, Wang Dong sighed a bit sadly.

In the next moment, a pair of small, white, jade-like arms wrapped around Wang Dong's neck. Aisibei leaned on his back, her golden, waterfall-like hair cascading from her shoulders to Wang Dong's chest.

Aisibei whispered in Wang Dong's ear, "I will always, always be by your side. You won't be alone anymore."

Wang Dong chuckled, held Aisibei's hand, and said, "I will always be by your side too!"

Then, in his heart, he added: After all, I still need to find your sister.

Just as the two were enjoying a warm moment, a phone call broke the silence and the intimate atmosphere. Aisibei made a slight "tsk" sound and said to Wang Dong, "Answer the phone quickly."

Wang Dong, who was immersed in the warmth with Aisibei, nodded a bit regretfully, picked up the phone on the coffee table, and looked at the screen, saying, "Oh, it's Grandpa Yu Qing's call."

Pressing the answer button, Wang Dong said politely, "Hello, Grandpa Yu Qing, this is Wang Dong."

"No, no, no!" Yu Qing's panicked voice came from the phone, and he laughed bitterly, "I've lived a hard life, don't scare me. Just call me Yu Qing the Wanderer."

"Alright~" Wang Dong replied helplessly and continued, "So, Yu Qing the Wanderer, what's up?"
