Chapter 2: Chapter 1: Spanning a Thousand Years

In 2013, in front of a famous high-end bar in Shenzhen, the large characters "Lilimaren" glowed with a seductive red light.

"**..." With a low curse, Yu Luoxuan burst out of the bar. His smooth yet wheat-colored face possessed sharp, cold lines, and his sexy lips were curled high, showing his extreme displeasure.

"President Yu, please don't be angry, I'll go find another batch for you..." The bar manager chased after him in terror, attempting to stop the furious Yu Luoxuan.

"Get lost..." Without even glancing at the manager, his dark, deep eyes, cold as ice and snow, swept the surroundings. As his left hand violently yanked at his necktie, his right hand was already opening the door to his wildly red and unrestrained Lamborghini sports car.

With a "shhh..." sound, the red sports car had already flown hundreds of meters away.

The bar manager could only shake his head and return, cursing inwardly. He didn't know what kind of mood this tycoon was in today; from the moment he arrived, he was like he had swallowed gunpowder, finding fault with everyone. Even after the best girls in the shop were recruited for him, he still wasn't satisfied? Damn, business was truly hard to do in this era.

In this city of bright lights and alcohol, a red sports car sped wildly and dazzlingly down the road. His thick eyebrows were raised in rebellion, and his deep eyes stared intently ahead, completely ignoring the existence of traffic lights as he drove toward the suburban beach.

"Yang Ziluo, you indecisive woman, if I tell you to marry, **..." Filled with intense hatred, Yu Luoxuan slammed the steering wheel and stomped hard on the accelerator. The sports car began to race joyfully, as if drinking blood.

Meanwhile, at Dameisha Beach, the night was already silent. Walking along the fenced boulevard with her back to the sea, Chen Yuyue gazed at the distant towering buildings and shimmering lights. On her cold face, her two eyebrows were tightly knit together, showing her immense distress. She took a deep breath, feeling as if even the very scent of the air had changed.

Was this the hometown the Madam had spoken of?

Her right hand unconsciously touched the emerald Ruyi pendant on her chest as the Madam's words echoed in her mind once more.

"Go to my hometown and help me settle one matter. In six months, once the matter is done, you will be free." Chen Ziwu's voice had been somewhat low, her eyes staring vacantly ahead as if spanning infinite space to reach a distant place—that was her hometown.

"Where is Madam's hometown? Is it not Linshui County?" Chen Yuyue was puzzled; being sharp-witted, she clearly felt that things were not that simple.

"It is... a... thousand... years... later..." Chen Ziwu had said, holding her breath, emphasizing every single word.

Chen Yuyue shook her head violently to clear her mind. A gust of sea breeze blew past, lifting her thick, jet-black hair, which became even more flowing as she shook it. Madam had said that women here did not need to tie their hair in buns; a woman with loose black hair was the sexiest.

Looking at her own tight black leather outfit, strange leather pants, and comfortable long boots, Chen Yuyue still felt a bit shy, clutching her shoulders. Madam had said that women here only wore single layers of clothing and could even expose their arms and thighs.

What kind of world was this? Even someone as indifferent and desireless as her could not help but feel waves of fear rising from the depths of her heart, rolling in like ocean waves, crashing against her heart which she had once believed to be indestructible.

Chen Yuyue let out a long breath and began walking slowly along the boulevard toward the distant lights. She wanted to calm herself down, to finish Madam's task as quickly as possible and leave as soon as possible.

From the moment she heard about Madam's origins until now, she seemed to have lost the ability to think. Even though she was already standing on the land of a thousand years in the future, she still dared not believe it was all real.

"If only Madam were here." Being in a foreign land, she realized just how important Chen Ziwu was to her; it turned out a certain kind of dependency had long since taken root in her heart.

"Screech..." Following a violent braking sound, Yu Luoxuan rolled down his window and roared at the dark figure clutching her shoulders: "Are you *** insane? Standing in the middle of the road in the middle of the night—if you're looking for death, this young master will send you straight to the King of Hell."

He was already angry, and now his hostility was at its peak, uncontrollable. Having finally caught an opportunity to vent his rage, how could he let it go?

Hearing someone speaking, was it cursing her? Chen Yuyue's delicate brows unconsciously furrowed again as she turned her head coldly.

Unexpectedly, two intense beams of light shot directly into her eyes, making it impossible for her to see anything in front of her. Unable to endure the pain in her eyes, she had no choice but to use her arm to block the light and retreat to the side.

"Tch, boring." Seeing the girl obediently retreat to the side, Yu Luoxuan had no choice but to restrain his hostility. He had thought he had encountered some pretentious girl looking for death or a slut trying to latch onto a rich man for some fun. He hadn't expected her to just quietly avoid him. Looking at her curvaceous figure, she was quite sexy, it was just a pity he couldn't see her facial features clearly.

Hmph, wandering around in a place like this late at night, she couldn't be any good woman.

Stepping on the accelerator, his wicked eyes swept across the rearview mirror as he shook his head mockingly. Women, they were all *** the same.

Just like Yang Ziluo, who a moment ago was lying beneath him, panting and saying she loved him, only to marry another man the next moment. It wasn't that he cherished her that much; he just couldn't swallow this insult. Women were always the ones he didn't want.

Watching the red monster speed away, Chen Yuyue quickly lowered her arm, unintentionally stirring up a powerful gust of dust. Her gaze remained cold as she stared at the faintly visible figure inside the car. She lifted her feet and applied a bit of lightness skill; the surrounding airflow surged, swirling the sand on the road like a gale.

The black figure flying at high speed looked like a ghost in the night sky from a distance; everywhere it passed, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Currently, she needed a place to stay and to figure out the situation of this place before she could complete Madam's mission. *You ran into me yourself, don't blame me,* Chen Yuyue thought to herself.

As expected, the "small carriage" Madam spoke of was indeed tiny, but it was much faster than a horse carriage. She had to use almost all of her internal power to barely catch up. With a contraction of her legs, she leaped upward, her body landing lightly on the roof of the car, quickly crouching down following its direction.

Yu Luoxuan had no idea that an extra object had landed on his car. The sea breeze poured in through the window, seemingly blowing away his irritability. He leisurely lit a cigarette and elegantly blew a smoke ring, which curled around his calm, knife-carved handsome features. His high nose bridge complemented his wicked lips, making it impossible to ignore the occasional flash of a wanton, unrestrained smile.

After circling the beach once, he turned back, only stopping when the car pulled up in front of a European-style villa.

"Who? Come out." At the very moment the security door was about to close, he sensitively detected a figure flashing inside and immediately went on full alert.
