Kyoto No. 1 Airport.
At the exit, a blonde woman in a black trench coat and tight leather pants stood looking ahead, her beautiful eyes filled with joy and excitement.
The woman had an excellent figure, and with her unique attire, her physical attributes reached their peak, maximizing the visual appeal.
Coupled with her perfect Western features, she was an irresistible presence to the opposite sex.
Therefore, her appearance at the airport had already attracted countless gazes.
However, due to the faint, elusive chill emanating from her, many who wished to approach her were deterred.
"Lord God Lord should be arriving soon!"
Dolissa checked the time and murmured to herself.
"Miss, are you waiting for someone?"
At this moment, a handsome young man walked over.
The young man was dressed ordinarily but exuded an air of elegance. He was not particularly tall, perhaps above average. His speech was gentle, making it difficult for anyone to dislike him.
"You are different from others!"
Dolissa was somewhat surprised by the sudden appearance of the young man.
Although few people had approached her before, it wasn't none. But without exception, in the eyes of those who had, Dolissa had seen a raw emotion called "desire."
In this young man's eyes, however, Dolissa saw only clarity, unclouded by any impurity.
"Oh! Is that so?" The young man smiled gently and said, "In my eyes, Miss, you are also different from others!"
"Hmm?"
Dolissa gazed deeply at the young man before her. To her astonishment, she found herself unable to see through him.
"This... how is this possible?"
Upon realizing this, Dolissa's mind began to sound the alarm.
"It seems my appearance has caused you some distress!" the young man said apologetically. "I am very sorry for that! However..."
"However what?"
Dolissa didn't know what the man was trying to convey.
"However, Kyoto may experience some turmoil recently. I hope you will be careful!"
The young man's demeanor and words were sincere, devoid of any pretense.
"Thank you for the reminder! I will be mindful!"
Since the other party had no ill intentions, Dolissa naturally saw no reason to conflict with him!
As for Kyoto being in turmoil, she was more aware than anyone.
"Good! Then I bid you farewell!" The young man clasped his hands in a respectful bow and chuckled, "I hope we meet again by chance!"
With that, the young man left.
His approach to Dolissa seemed to be solely to offer a word of caution.
Watching the retreating figure of the young man, Dolissa's brow furrowed, lost in thought.
What Dolissa did not know was that after leaving the airport last year, he had cast a glance back in her direction.
"If I weren't in a hurry, I'd like to chat with you more!"
The young man chuckled softly.
At this moment, a middle-aged man approached him and said respectfully, "Young Master, this matter may indeed require our intervention!"
"Oh! Has it reached that point?"
The young man seemed slightly shocked by the middle-aged man's words, but not entirely surprised.
"That's right! Based on the initial assessments of several families, there is definitely an invisible hand controlling these auctions! And..." He lowered his voice here. "And under our investigation, the mysterious person who previously retrieved the 'Xian Tian Yi Qi' is very likely... one of 'them'!"
"What? This... how is this possible?"
This time, the young man was truly stunned.
"If 'they' are not permitted, can't they enter the mortal world?" the young man asked in horror. "Let alone cause such a commotion in the mortal realm!"
The middle-aged man had many questions as well.
"That's why several families have decided to let us, their representatives, intervene to prevent further escalation," the middle-aged man's tone grew increasingly somber. "Not only that, but this decision is also the will of those above!"
Hiss!
Hearing this, the young man took a deep breath, calming his emotions.
"It seems this matter is more complex than I imagined!"
The young man's mind conjured an image of a vast, dark net slowly engulfing Kyoto.
"Young Master! Let's go! The others are already waiting!"
As the young man prepared to get into the car, he glanced once more in Dolissa's direction and whispered, audible only to himself:
"Could it have anything to do with you?"
...
Ten minutes later.
Three figures emerged from the airport exit.
The leftmost was a man who appeared very strong, but his physique was not muscular. His proportions were exceptionally balanced, exuding a unique aesthetic.
With his Western features and perfect physique, he easily attracted the admiration of many young women.
The person in the middle was also a young man. Beyond his undeniably handsome face,
everything else about him was shrouded in mystery.
The remaining person was a woman.
Her appearance at this moment was seemingly indecipherable to onlookers. Only a general outline could be discerned.
Yet, despite this, her perfect body proportions, the exposed fair skin, and the vibrant aura emanating from her every step were enough to make most people lose their resistance.
The woman's arm was linked with the young man's, a gesture of intimate familiarity. Their relationship seemed to require no further explanation.
"Oh!"
At this moment, Nangong Qianyu noticed a golden figure before her, her pretty face breaking into a happy smile.
"Sister Dolissa!"
She ran over directly and then hugged her tightly.
The surrounding passersby looked on with envy.
Their envy was naturally directed at the space between the two women.
And, of course, at the two young men who followed closely behind.
"Qianyu, my..."
"Hmph!"
Just as Dolissa was about to utter the words "Miss," Nangong Qianyu feigned anger and said, "Sister Dolissa, if you continue to be so formal, I... I won't talk to you anymore!"
Could this be considered a threat?
For Dolissa, it probably was.
"Alright! Qianyu! Qianyu, then, alright!"
Dolissa genuinely liked this "Chief Consort."
"Hee hee hee! That's my good sister!"
Nangong Qianyu held Dolissa's hand and her smile returned.
"Young Master! Lord Lainsent!"
Dolissa said respectfully.
"Yo! We haven't seen each other for about a year, have we?" Lainsent appraised Dolissa from head to toe and teased, "Hmm! You're becoming more and more womanly!"
In Lainsent's memory, Dolissa had always been cold and distant.
"Lord Lainsent, please don't joke with me!"
Dolissa found herself helpless against this fearless, simple-minded fellow.
Even back in the temple, Lainsent was the one who liked to tease her.
"Lainsent! What are you saying? My Sister Dolissa is so gentle, beautiful, and kind, how can you say that?"
Nangong Qianyu directly defended Dolissa.
"Uh!"
Gentle? Kind?
Could these words describe Dolissa?
Beautiful, perhaps.
Alright!
With Nangong Qianyu protecting Dolissa, Lainsent immediately backed down.
"It was my mistake!"
Lainsent said apologetically, "I apologize to our gentle, beautiful, and kind Miss Dolissa."
