The afternoon sunlight brought a sense of lethargy to the people. The children had returned to their dormitories for a nap. The spacious Sunshine Orphanage was quiet, and there was only the chirping from a few cicadas, making sounds that signaled the end of life.
Ning Tao stood on the soft grass patch of the newly constructed soccer field. He watched the two women under the Banyan tree anxiously.
Jiang Hao wanted to come and meet Qing Zhui. There was no way for him to stop her.
Jiang Hao and Qing Zhui met at Sunshine Orphanage. He could not hear what they were talking about, because once the two women started conversing, Jiang Hao had chased him off, not letting him stay around.
Had they reached the consensus of serving the same husband?
Or would they be fighting to death over sole and exclusive ownership?
Was it a clash of ice and fire or the battle of sword and spear?
Ning Tao had no
Money is a wonderful thing indeed. On the same night, Ning Tao rented a courtyard house that was not far away from the Sky Clinic. It was said that it used to be the residence of a Qing dynasty fifth-rank official. There were a main bedroom, east room, west room, backroom, a residence gate, and courtyard there. It was full of traditional flair and grandeur. And of course, the price was grand as well. A month's rental was 200,000. If they were still in the "start-up phase" of the past, Ning Tao would never have spent the exorbitant amount of 200,000 to rent a place to stay. However, he was no longer the person he was. A rental of 200,000 was nothing to him. He could easily earn it back with a breast enlargement surgery or slimming procedure. After the house had been rented, Qing Zhui was feeding Hu Xiaoji milk. Bai Jing and Jiang Hao distributed the rooms and furnished them. Ning Tao then ran off to the Sky Clinic. The good-evil tripod's eyes
It was quiet inside Jian Mi's room. The lights had also gone out. Ning Tao knocked on the door this time. "Do you still want some? My God, you really are the best gift God has given to me." Maria's voice of excitement and joy came from inside the room. The light in the room was turned on. It was followed by the sound of Maria walking in her slippers in brisk steps. The room door was opened, and Ning Tao entered right in, closing the door behind him. Only then did Maria realize that it was Ning Tao. She was first stunned, then fumbled to pick up the blanket by the bedside to cover herself. She was actually wearing her undergarments but Ning Tao was not Jian Mi, nor was he that scoundrel Hanks, so she was embarrassed. Ning Tao got straight to the point. "Let me ask you, did a short and fat woman with a face full of pockmarks come here?" He spoke in relatively fluent English.
Although he could stay in a special "Old Master" house, Ning Tao still decided to return to Sky Clinic and practiced his spiritual power and Hundred Steps Flying Needle Method there. If he was even a little careless during this trip to America, he would cause Nicholas Conway to appear. It would not be an relaxed meeting where two persons sat down and talked about their lives and ideals over two cups of coffee. It would be a life-and-death showdown. How could he relax? Besides, he did not know who that tyrant from Beidu was. That fellow ought to be on the same level as Bai Sheng. He must prepare himself for a confrontation. Although there were three beauties in his house, all lovelier than flowers, he could only look at but not touch them. He saw very little point to this, and preferred to practice alone in the clinic to improve his abilities. After practicing his spiritual power several times using the grade three elementary cultivation meth
A silver Rolls-Royce arrived at Plaza Hotel at Fifth Avenue, one of the top 10 premium hotels in the world. It was difficult to know whether it deserved its reputation. But everyone who stayed here would be the elite of high society, either very wealthy or an aristocrat. Joanna got an attendant to park her car for her. She brought Ning Tao into the hotel. The lobby was gilded and resplendent, with marble tiles and beams, huge crystal chandeliers and glass domes, adorned with complex patterns everywhere. The whole place resembled a palace. Ning Tao was not only observing his surroundings but also the people here. The moment he entered the lobby, he summoned the states of looking and smelling of his eyes and nose. He swiftly scanned through every person. This was the US, the headquarters of Black Fire Company. He must proceed with caution in every step. Ning Tao's eyes soon stopped on a sofa. Two white men were sitting on the sof
Before Ning Tao's hand could grab or shove him, Harley Poche had already acted. He tried to lock Ning Tao's arm down and twist it along the way. This was a very basic move in grappling. The manner in which he executed it was as smooth and natural as flowing water. There was a beauty to his violent aesthetics. But Ning Tao's arm did not budge. Harley Poche immediately started. He increased his strength and moved his body in the reverse direction of Ning Tao's joint. He wanted to break Ning Tao's arm apart. But still Ning Tao's arm did not budge. Everyone present felt that Ning Tao was like a dummy forged out of cast iron. Harley Poche tried strenuously to pry this iron man's arm apart. "Bastard!" Harley Poche was shamed and enraged. He released Ning Tao's hand and punched a fist at Ning Tao's face. This time, Ning Tao did not give him another chance. His formerly locked hand advanced and he casually p
The surgery soon ended. Shalim Talman's "airport runway breasts" had completely disappeared. Now, modern terminal towers took their place, lofty and magnificent. But her thighs, butt, lower abdomen and waist had shrunk. This however did not affect her figure, but give her a visual impact of disproportion, causing her to appear sexier than ever. Such breast augmentation surgery could only be performed by Ning Tao in this whole world. But if that senior who invented the plucking talisman knew that it was being used for breast augmentation, he would have shaken in his coffin. Ning Tao drew out the Sacred Needle inserted into Shalim Talman's head. At the same time, he released a whiff of spiritual power to awaken her brain. Shalim Talman gradually opened her eyes. She shifted them down and one second later, her jaws gaped wide. "Oh, my..." She was too agitated to speak. Ning Tao said, "I have drawn fats
A dozen hours later. Florence, Italy. Ning Tao left the hotel he was staying and hailed a cab. He asked the driver to take him to Florence Cathedral. The taxi driver was a veteran driver. He drove very steadily and with moderate speed. Ancient edifices breezed past them by the window and the sky was pure like an untainted blue sheet. This city which gave rise to the European Renaissance made him feel as though he had traveled back in time. "First time Italy?" The veteran driver asked in broken English, breaking the silence. "Yes, my first time," Ning Tao said. "Want pretty girls? Pure Italian pretty girls, not from East Europe." A benign smile hovered on the veteran driver's lips. "Uh... better not. I'm here for sightseeing only." Ning Tao rejected him, feeling quite awkward. The veteran driver gave Ning Tao a name card. "You Hua Country people are shy. If you want one, ca
Leaving House No. 68, Ning Tao came to Florence Cathedral, bought a ticket, and entered it. There were many tourists in the cathedral, yet it was very quiet. After traversing the corridor, Ning Tao continued ahead. His eyes were overwhelmed by a miscellany of reliefs and frescoes from the Bible. He felt a dense feeling of time-worn history, as well as a sacredness unique to religious shrines. "Sir, do you need a guide?" A young blonde woman with green eyes came to Ning Tao's side. She had an amiable smile on her face and was asking in Italian. Ning Tao could not understand her, only giving her an awkward smile. The young blonde woman with green eyes started to ask in halting Mandarin, "Sir, do you need an interpreter?" Ning Tao sized her up. This young lady was in her early 20s, dressed in a white T-shirt, a pair of short vintage jeans and white sneakers. Her figure was tall and slim, and her feature
