GCLA VOL. 3 1

Chapter 1: Godfather Arrives

Silence enveloped the entire hot spring hotel.

When Maomao caught the wolf demon’s last clone, the entire hot spring hotel was completely taken over by the Immortal Realm’s cleanup crew. Everyone—tourists, service staff, all humans—stood frozen in place as if hypnotized, their gazes blank and vacant.

Our misfit team and Fusu’s elite squad sat in the conference room, no one speaking. The entire conference room was so quiet it felt like we were waiting for the final judgment.

After the mission ended, we weren’t recalled to the Immortal Realm but were instead gathered in this conference room.

Fusu sat across from me at the massive conference table, his feet propped up on the table, staring at me from across the room. That suffocating feeling in my chest—how could I possibly swallow it down!

He suddenly pulled out a disinfectant wipe and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, as if he’d just finished enjoying a delicious meal.

Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!

Divine scum! Divine scum! Divine scum!

Important things must be said three times!

I was still wondering why he had so kindly wiped my face and mouth with that disinfectant wipe—turns out he was disinfecting it for himself to eat!

Ahhhh~~~ The more I think about it, the more unwilling I feel! The more I think about it, the more suffocated I become, so suffocated it hurts! I regret it so much my intestines have turned green—why did I go and save him! I should have let the black-clothed BOSS and white-clothed female demon first X then O him, then O then X again, taking turns with OOXX! Even that wouldn’t be enough to calm the fury in my heart right now!

Beside Fusu sat Light God and Hong Ri. Light God kept staring at the bloodstains on my body, while Hong Ri’s face had turned iron-blue, turning away as if he didn’t want to look at Light God even once more.

Next was Qi Yuan Wei Lian, who was staring at Mo Ming, then Ice Fox Chi Yue grooming her fox tail. Beside her sat Black Girl, hanging boredly on her chair with her zombie, who was picking bugs off his own arm—one by one, calmly removing them and putting them in his mouth… eating them…

Mo Ming sat beside me, constantly staring at Fusu. Jiang Yan was sucking on a blood bag while squinting at Mo Ming, Fusu, and me.

Fusu looked at me with an evil, charming smile, constantly watching me. I was so angry my teeth itched—I really wanted to rush over and bite him to death right now!

“Cen, cen.” Maomao calmly filed her sharp nails in the silent conference room. Ice Fox Chi Yue stared stiffly at her from across the table. Maomao looked up at her and stuck out her tongue to lick the blood on her claws, her gaze carrying a hint of viciousness and provocation. Chi Yue stiffly turned her face away in confusion.

Beside Maomao sat Qing Ming, who didn’t dare move. Si Yi Nuo sat at the very end with her white snake.

“Fusu…” After a long period of oppressive silence, the first to speak was actually Si Yi Nuo. “What did you do to Sister Xiao Lan… again?”

Si Yi Nuo’s words struck my tense nerves like lightning. I immediately clenched my fists. Fusu glanced at me wickedly from across the table and stuck out his tongue to slowly lick his red lips: “Guess.”

“Fusu!” Mo Ming shot up immediately. Right after, Maomao also stood up, swinging her claws toward Ice Fox Chi Yue: “You’re the one who hurt Da Qing, aren’t you? I won’t let you get away with this!”

Ice Fox Chi Yue seemed to understand Maomao’s earlier provocation and smiled lightly at her: “Hmph, fine then, come on.”

Qing Ming began silently reaching out to tug at Maomao’s sleeve. Maomao immediately turned to glare at him: “I’m standing up for you! What are you fussing about?!”

Qing Ming stared up at Maomao blankly for a moment, then immediately bit his lip and lowered his face with a shy smile.

“Come on!”

“Come on!”

Everyone on both sides stood up.

Light God stared at Jiang Yan: “You actually ran away! You coward!”

“Tch.” Senior Jiang Yan turned away with a light laugh.

William also squinted, only looking at Mo Ming, while Mo Ming’s eyes now held only Fusu.

“You just want to know what I did to your captain, don’t you?” Fusu lazily stood up. I immediately glared at him sideways. He smiled wickedly, “Tell me… should I say it or not?”

“You dare!” I immediately glared at him. In an instant, my companions’ killing intent flared up. Jiang Yan’s gaze also turned cold: “Fusu, you didn’t mess with our Xiao Lan again, did you?” When Jiang Yan’s gaze turned grim, cold air instantly wrapped around his entire body.

Immediately, Light God, also of the Zombie God clan, seemed to think his killing intent was a challenge and his eyes blazed: “Your Xiao Lan? Hmph, believe it or not, I’ll make her become our Wang Dian’s!”

“You dare.” Jiang Yan spoke neither lightly nor heavily. Light God raised his lips in an evil smile: “If you’ve got the skills, watch over her properly.”

“Light God, that’s enough!” Hong Ri finally couldn’t take it anymore and pulled Light God’s body back, looking at him with pain and anger. “What exactly am I in your eyes?”

Light God chuckled: “Hong Ri, I’ve been patient with you for a long time. Don’t forget your place. Don’t you dare boss me around!” His sinister gaze fell on Hong Ri’s face. “Don’t overstep your bounds!”

Hong Ri was stunned into silence. Jiang Yan looked at Hong Ri and seemed momentarily lost in thought, as if memories from deep in his heart had been stirred up, making him lower his gaze in a slight daze.

Fusu swept his gaze over everyone and once again focused on me: “I can agree not to tell, if you go on a date with me.”

“Get lost!”

“That’s absolutely impossible!”

“In your dreams!”

Mo Ming, Maomao, and I spoke in unison. Fusu curved his lips: “Then I… might just tell~~~”

“You dare!” I glared at him fiercely. “If you dare say it, I’ll leave the Immortal Realm immediately!”

He froze, his expression becoming lost under my resolute gaze. The wicked smile disappeared from his face, no longer showing Fusu’s trademark arrogance, contempt, and evil charm—only a trace of bewildered blankness.

“Xiao Lan! Calm down!” Mo Ming urgently grabbed my shoulder.

“Sister Xiao Lan! Don’t pay attention to him!”

“Not bad~~ Xiao Lan, no matter what happened, we’ve got your back.” Senior Jiang Yan spoke lazily, but his voice was exceptionally cold.

Fusu blinked and slowly sat back down. I took a deep breath and once again refused to look at him.

The light of teleportation fell beside Fusu and me. In that central main seat, black hair swept across my field of vision—Xuanyuan Chen had already stood coldly to one side.

The moment Xuanyuan Chen appeared, Ice Fox Chi Yue stiffened in her seat, as if not wanting Xuanyuan Chen to see her. She tried hard to shrink back, but her chest was simply too impressive—there was no way to hide it. She could hide her head but not her chest. From a side angle, it looked like there was an extra pair of breasts beside Qi Yuan Wei Lian.

Qi Yuan Wei Lian was already looking at Xuanyuan Chen with reverent eyes, that fervent gaze no different from a little girl seeing her idol.

“President!” he called out excitedly.

“Pop.” Black Girl blew a bubble and boredly rolled her eyes at William.

Although Qi Yuan Wei Lian looked at Xuanyuan Chen excitedly, the cold and stern Xuanyuan Chen never glanced at him once. He only looked toward Fusu and me: “You two stay. Everyone else, get out.”

Senior Jiang Yan and the others began to stand up. I directly reached out and pressed down on Mo Ming, who was about to get up. Mo Ming froze, and Fusu’s dark gaze immediately fell on my hand pressing down on Mo Ming.

Xuanyuan Chen’s glasses flashed with cold light: “Xia Xiao Lan, I said everyone else gets out.”

I still kept my face lowered, pressing down on Mo Ming. Jiang Yan and the others also stopped moving. I said heavily: “My people stay. I have no secrets from them. Whatever you want to ask, ask it in front of my companions.”

Immediately, cold air rose from Xuanyuan Chen’s body. His icy gaze swept toward Light God and the others. At once, Light God and his group stood up and left the conference room through the other door.

Jiang Yan and the others sat down again. Xuanyuan Chen looked at Fusu and me: “Were you two sucked into the Demon Realm?”

Immediately, Mo Ming, Jiang Yan, Qing Ming, Maomao, and Si Yi Nuo all looked at me in surprise.

Mo Ming immediately gripped my hand tightly.

“What happened?” Xuanyuan Chen asked grimly.

“Nothing~~~” Fusu casually stretched and yawned. “Didn’t I come back?”

“That’s exactly what I want to ask—how did you two get back?” Xuanyuan Chen’s sharp gaze fell on Fusu’s face. The corner of Fusu’s mouth slowly curved up as he looked up at Xuanyuan Chen. “I’ll tell you about this matter. Let her go.” Fusu pointed at me. I turned my face away. Xuanyuan Chen’s sharp gaze began moving back and forth between Fusu and me.

His glasses suddenly flashed with cold light, as if he’d detected something, and he looked at me: “Xia Xiao Lan, did Fusu bully you again? If so, you can tell me now.”

Fusu glanced at me. I furrowed my brow tightly, fighting back the tears that were about to fall: “I only hope that a certain someone will honor their bet and never appear in front of me again!” I looked up fiercely at Fusu, tears trembling in my eyes.

Fusu froze, staring at me in a slight daze.

I took a deep breath, lowered my face, forcibly held back my tears, and began speaking: “It was them—the black-clothed BOSS and white-clothed demon woman used me as bait to lure Fusu into the Demon Realm, then ambushed him. They originally intended to kill him, but suddenly demon beasts from the Demon Realm charged out, and Fusu brought me back through another crack in the Demon Realm. That’s what happened.” I looked up and stared at Fusu—if you dare say one extra word, next time I’ll help the black-clothed BOSS destroy you!

Immediately, Mo Ming, Jiang Yan, and the others looked shocked and grim. No one spoke.

Xuanyuan Chen also furrowed his brow and touched his chin with one hand: “So… these two people should be from the Immortal Realm… Fusu, besides what Xiao Lan said, are there any other circumstances?” Xuanyuan Chen looked at Fusu.

Fusu came back to his senses but turned away with a serious expression: “Nothing else. That’s basically it. The other side should know that my power has been sealed again. They must have been watching the live stream, choosing to strike when I was… alone with Xia Xiao Lan.”

“So next time, don’t seek out Xia Xiao Lan alone anymore, because she’s already become your weakness. When you go to her, you also put her in danger.” Xuanyuan Chen’s voice began to deepen, majestic like a king’s. He continued to observe Fusu coldly. “Fusu, you need to pull yourself together.”

Fusu silently lowered his gaze, but the corner of his mouth curved into a bitter smile: “Tch, how boring! I’m leaving!” With that, he stood up and left the conference room directly, never looking back. His lonely figure carried traces of solitude.
