Chen Che and An Nishang's attention also turned to the nearby Luo Qingtian and Qin Qingyan.

The two sides exchanged glances, and the corners of Luo Qingtian's mouth curled into a smug smile, his gaze towards Chen Che full of provocation and ridicule.

In Luo Qingtian's eyes, Chen Che was nothing more than a jumping clown, and he wouldn't be jumping around for long.

Soon enough, he could trample this Master Chen, who had quickly made a name for himself, underfoot.

So as soon as they met, the atmosphere was instantly tense.

"Good evening, Director An, Mr. Chen."

An Nishang and Chen Che's gaze simultaneously turned to the side to look at Luo Qingtian, and the exchange of looks between them was filled with various emotions.

While Luo Qingtian was reveling in his glee, he didn't notice the woman beside him becoming momentarily lost upon seeing An Nishang.

That month was a dream Qin Qingyan would never forget in her life.

She still remembered the time of that month, where the pain was beautiful.

But more importantly, Qin Qingyan also realized there was a terrifying woman always by Chen Che's side.

An Nishang.

During the time she stayed in the small villa, she was full of curiosity about An Nishang, yet she never saw An Nishang even once.

To be honest, she was a bit afraid of this woman.

She could only occasionally catch a glimpse of An Nishang's back through the window of the small villa, and also smell the scent belonging to An Nishang from Chen Che.

Qin Qingyan had absolute confidence in her own appearance, even though she was naturally aloof, she had a complete awareness of her own face.

Otherwise, how could a proud man like Luo Qingtian put up with her aloofness and emotionless demeanor?

Qin Qingyan always thought that no matter how beautiful An Nishang was, she couldn't be more beautiful by much, maybe just slightly more attractive than herself.

But when she saw this woman now... With her absolutely stunning face, tall stature, full bust, and long legs... every part of this woman's body was a perfect composition by the heavens.

Just a glance from those captivating eyes, with a lightly chill gaze, made Qin Qingyan lose all confidence at that moment.

She didn't know what she could use to compare herself to An Nishang.

The two of them had the same aloofness.

But clearly, there was a world of difference.

Chen Che squinted his eyes, looking at Luo Qingtian, and said with a cold smile, "Director Luo, I didn't expect to see you here too. Director Luo, aren't you busy catching smugglers today?"

"Heh, you can never catch all the smugglers; what's the point in catching those small fry? If you're going to catch, catch the big ones. Once the big players are dealt with, those little mice will naturally disappear.

Don't you agree, Mr. Chen?"

The atmosphere was full of tension between them, and Luo Qingtian's gaze towards Chen Che was not only provocative but also bore a hint of jealousy.

He also noticed An Nishang standing by Chen Che's side, who looked extraordinarily beautiful today.

So beautiful that no man could take his eyes off her; so beautiful that any man would unconsciously focus his gaze on her.

For Luo Qingtian, a woman like this should be the one standing by his side.

Recalling everything that happened with An Nishang at the Night Empire, his various maneuvers against her were not only a matter of family conflict, but more so, he wanted to conquer this woman!

To make this woman his own!

To have her as his subordinate, as his plaything.

But he ultimately underestimated An Nishang's strategy of advancing by retreating, which caught him off guard.

However, this didn't stop Luo Qingtian from pursuing her into the Ninth Special Zone.

Luo Qingtian proactively extended his hand with a smile towards An Nishang, "Director An, we meet again."

Faced with Luo Qingtian's outstretched hand, An Nishang squinted slightly. In front of Luo Qingtian, Chen Che smiled and wrapped his arm around An Nishang's waist, pulling her into his embrace, staking his claim while taking An Nishang's hand to shake Luo Qingtian's, saying, "Sorry, Director Luo, my boss has a cleanliness issue. She generally doesn't touch things that aren't too clean."

Chen Che's words instantly made Luo Qingtian's face darken.

In Luo Qingtian's view, Chen Che was nothing more than a pretty face that relied on An Nishang to reach where he was now.

With just a slight effort, he made things hard for Chen Che, cutting off most of his business.

Chen Che didn't even beg him for mercy and was still provoking him.

His gaze towards Chen Che was filled with coldness.

"Mr. Chen, I've heard some bad rumors about you recently. Instead of enjoying the pleasures of women here, why not think carefully about how to overcome your difficulties?"

"Oh? It seems Director Luo's intelligence is really sharp. I didn't even know what trouble I'm in, yet Director Luo knows. Why don't you go ahead and tell me, Director Luo?"

Seeing Chen Che pretending to be ignorant, Luo Qingtian snorted coldly, yet still unwilling to give up, turning his gaze to An Nishang, "Director An, how about we have a chat on the side? The scenes we've been through at the Night Empire Headquarters still echo in my mind.

I think as opponents, we can also turn hostility into friendship, forming a strong alliance.

Director An, I know you are always searching for and in need of a strong ally.

Director An, you should know I can help you, I can be your ally, I can provide you great help.

Director An, you know what I'm talking about."

Oh come on, can you riddlers just die?

Chen Che rolled his eyes, while An Nishang's red lips curled into an enchanting smile.

Beauty truly has a way of stirring countless affections with just a smile.

This smile alone was enough to make countless hidden onlookers reveal expressions of infatuation.

"I'm sorry, Director Luo. Now is not work time. In your words, rather than discussing work matters now, I prefer to enjoy the pleasures of the moment with those by my side."

After saying this, An Nishang took Chen Che's hand and headed towards the dance floor in the center.

"Dance with me."

An Nishang has this hobby?

Chen Che glanced at the dance floor and clicked his tongue.

It was a bit hard to watch, perhaps due to the long cultural discontinuity, dances of this nature have similarly fallen out of touch.

On the dance floor, there were many men and women dancing together.

It seems that in any dynasty, any era, such elegant dances are exclusively for the upper class.

People from the lower classes who learn to dance are nothing but dancers, transmitting pleasure to the upper class.

When upper-class people dance with each other, it's more about showing off than relaxing their emotions.

Amongst themselves, the dance isn't for their own enjoyment; it's for others to see.

In the culture inherited by the Night Empire, a mix of East and West can be seen in the dance floor where men and women perform weird, mixed moves of Latin, Waltz, and a series of Western dances.

It looks very ridiculous.

Probably trying to emulate that era of civilization.

Luo Qingtian saw this and didn't want to be outdone, so he took Qin Qingyan onto the dance floor.

Accompanied by soothing music, with his wife Qin Qingyan, performing in the dance floor.

When An Nishang pulled Chen Che's hand, wearing high heels, and wrapped in black silk with her jade feet, moving with the rhythm on the floor, Chen Che was actually lost in thought.

The people at the bottom can't even get enough to eat, yet the upper class can indulge in such pleasures.

In any era, any period, there is always a wealth gap.

Only under the apocalypse, this wealth gap is more brutal.

In a civilized world, even if the rich were wealthy, they would erect a high wall, preventing the poor from seeing the sights inside the palace.

To prevent the poor from seeing the sights of the sky, lest their worldview collapse, resulting in a revolt that destroys their wealth.

What was that saying?

How could the nobility and generals be born of different stock?

But in this unreasonable world, the rich don't even bother to erect that wall.

"What are you thinking about? If you can't dance, just follow my rhythm."

An Nishang's words echoed in Chen Che's ear; An Nishang might also know that Chen Che couldn't dance, so she led Chen Che in a dance.

Looking over at Luo Qingtian, the children of noble families receive the most elite education from a young age, and both Luo Qingtian and Qin Qingyan had learned this type of dance.

For a moment, they became the brightest pair on the dance floor.

Without a doubt, in this world, their dance moves could be considered exquisite.

But to Chen Che, it seemed incongruous; Chen Che couldn't help but sneer, showing off? Who could outdo him?

He suddenly wrapped his arm around An Nishang's waist, pulling her close to him, their stomachs and chests tightly pressed together.

An Nishang was stunned, her red lips trembling as she said, "What do you want to do?"

"Nishang, have you ever danced a truly civilized world's dance? That's a connection of minds between men and women, intertwining bodies to sketch the most beautiful dance.

Nishang, do you remember me telling you about the dream I had? In the dream, I lived once in a civilized world.

I had an ex-girlfriend who was an international dance champion... cough, so I know a bit about those couple dances... Nishang, follow my rhythm."

In an instant, An Nishang felt a sense of being dominated.

Her entire body was beyond her control.

Following Chen Che's lead, she took a step forward, her posture swayed, her back moving to Chen Che's rhythm, performing a couple's waltz.

The splendor of the dance was starkly different from others.

An Nishang could feel her body being controlled by Chen Che, as he freely displayed the curves of her body; with slight control, she could make every move perfectly.

It wasn't the first time An Nishang experienced this sensation.

Such as during their pair cultivation, she liked to completely hand over control to Chen Che.

Letting Chen Che control her body.

Perhaps it was years of collaboration laying a solid foundation.

The two coordinated exceptionally well; shortly after, everyone's gaze focused on them.

An Nishang, in a red dress, cooperated with Chen Che's guidance, and the two outlined a perfect waltz, distinct from everyone present.

In an instant, the breathtaking Nishang attracted everyone's attention.

As the onlookers watched, the dance concluded, and the two were already drenched in sweat.

This was not a test of physical strength but of mental control.

Applause erupted around them.

Luo Qingtian was already stunned; he had checked some information about Chen Che.

How could a native loafer from the Ninth Special Zone dance like this?

Damn, who is he?

"How was it? Nishang, wasn't it great? Heh heh, when it comes to showing off, I'm not afraid of anyone!"

Chen Che flashed a provocative look at Luo Qingtian.

At that moment, he felt his face being cupped by someone, and in the next second, under everyone's gaze, An Nishang's red lips landed on his mouth.

The crowd erupted in cheers!
