Free Web NovelHongshan Villa District, Number 16.
Inside the villa, which resembled a small manor, music was constantly playing. Through the lush green plants surrounding the villa, figures could be seen walking back and forth in the large courtyard, with occasional bursts of joyful laughter.
It was already late at night, but this pool party, which had lasted for several hours, had just reached its climax.
Although Li Tanghan was grounded, not going out didn't prevent him from inviting others to his home to play with him.
This wasn't considered going against Li Shunnian's wishes.
In the courtyard, the large swimming pool was filled with heated water, and white, veil-like mist rose from the surface. Projection lights in the corner cast dreamy light and shadows all around.
Beautifully faced women held wine glasses, wearing swimsuits that best showcased their figures. They stood on the open space by the pool, swaying their slender waists and long legs freely to the dynamic rhythm of the DJ music. The scent of wine mixed with perfume filled the air.
Li Tanghan sat on a beach chair nearby, looking at the scene before him, which seemed to have moved the entire Underground Human Realm here. The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards. He shook his wine glass with one hand and reached into the tight, prominent cleavage of the curvaceous swimsuit-clad woman beside him with the other, brazenly rubbing.
"Hey everyone, let's raise our glasses together and toast to this wonderful time tonight!"
Suddenly, a flashy man in pink floral swim trunks among the crowd jumped up, leaped onto a high platform, raised a nearly full bottle of champagne, and shouted. The atmosphere instantly became lively.
Amidst the cheers, the man raised the wine bottle with both hands, tilted his head back, and chugged it down in a few gulps. He then took two steps back, took a running start, did a forward roll, and with a "plop!" jumped into the pool, splashing a large amount of water.
"Old ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) Bai is really strong for his age. If he keeps drinking like this, he'll drink himself to death one day! Haha!" Li Tanghan said to the swimsuit-clad woman beside him, laughing.
"Shui Ge can't drink himself bad, he's the wine immortal of our club!" The swimsuit-clad woman said.
"Oh?" Li Tanghan raised his eyebrows. "Then if he's the wine immortal, what am I?"
"You are..." The swimsuit-clad woman lightly tapped her tempting red lips with a finger, pondered for a moment, and said, "You are my ideal man~!"
"Haha, well said, then I'll be your groom tonight!"
As soon as Li Tanghan finished speaking, his phone beside him suddenly vibrated twice. He picked it up and glanced at it, his expression slightly hardening. He then kissed the woman in his arms deeply.
"Baby, you go ahead and have fun with them. I have something to deal with."
After speaking, he got up, picked up his phone, and quickly walked towards the inner room.
Entering the villa, in the dimly lit corridor, a couple was embracing and kissing. Li Tanghan curled his lip and smiled, thoughtfully walking around the two. He went through the living room, entered the underground wine cellar, walked around for a while, pushed open a hidden door, and walked in.
As soon as Li Tanghan passed through the hidden door and entered a long corridor decorated in a Gothic style, a tall, exquisite-looking woman who was dressed very conservatively walked up to him.
She wore a neutral-style professional suit, covering her beautiful figure, and wore light, natural makeup, like an invisible veil, concealing her beauty.
The woman followed beside Li Tanghan, helping him change into more formal clothes while explaining the situation to him.
"Li, those two urban legend successfully dealt with Qin Dalin. Old Yu has already brought them back..."
Hearing this, Li Tanghan sneered, "Heh, that easy? The Old Adult repeatedly condoned his blood-sucking behavior, I thought he had something special!"
"If you ask me, the Old Adult is old. When people get old, they become timid. Many times, they are too conservative in their actions." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The woman listened to Li Tanghan without comment. Only when he stopped did she continue, "Li, although those two successfully completed the task you assigned..."
"But what?" Li Tanghan's expression darkened, interrupting her. freewebnovёl.ƈom
"But when they came back, they brought back one extra urban legend. Old Yu didn't dare to ask too many questions, afraid of something going wrong, so he asked me to ask you how to handle it."
"One extra? How could there be an extra one?" Li Tanghan frowned, his eyes hesitant. "Do you have any good suggestions?"
The woman bowed slightly and said, "Li, Old Yu said that when that urban legend passed by the statue of the Heavenly God, her Spiritual Energy was not suppressed. I think direct contact with her might be dangerous."
"My suggestion is for me to meet that urban legend first. You can observe the situation from the adjacent room. Once the danger is eliminated, you can come out."
"..."
Others didn't know why the Hongshan Villa District had never experienced urban legend attacks, but as the son of Li Shunnian, one of the developers, Li Tanghan knew.
The reason why the Hongshan Villa District had never experienced urban legend attacks was because of the statue on the island in the lake.
That statue, whose symbolic meaning directly pointed to an existence at the top of the urban legend pyramid, although it had no Spiritual Energy fluctuations, was constantly emitting the pressure of Authority within the villa district.
Ordinary urban legend, unless invited, would have their core essence instantly suppressed if they rashly entered the villa district.
Under normal circumstances, those rich people who cherished their lives would avoid the word urban legend as much as possible! No one would invite urban legend into the villa district.
Except for Li Tanghan.
But now, news came from Uncle Driver Old Yu that those two guys, Peeling Skin and Burlap Sack Face, brought back a urban legend who could resist the pressure of the Heavenly God's Authority...
While Li Tanghan felt a faint sense of worry, a strange excitement quietly rose in his heart.
If I can make friends with that urban legend, I won't have to be constrained by the Old Adult everywhere in the future, right?
In that case, I will have more space to display my abilities.
After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "Hmm, okay!"
Li Tanghan and the woman walked through the long corridor together. They paused for a moment.
Then.
Li Tanghan turned right, around the corner, and entered the smaller door, while the woman waited outside for a moment before pushing open the door on the left and walking in.

Li Tanghan passed through the small door and entered the specially arranged room. He sat down on the sofa, poured himself a glass of wine, and just turned on the monitor with the remote control when his hand holding the wine glass trembled, spilling the wine all over him.
He saw a white-haired girl with her face pressed against the camera, her dark red eyes wide, her fingers hooked at the corners of her mouth, making a funny face, and sticking out her tongue.
Seeing this, Peeling Skin asked, "You, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just saw a camera here and thought someone might be observing in the dark."
When you come to a new place, how can you not observe the surroundings?
When observing the surroundings, you find a camera, and you make a funny face at the camera. Isn't this basic etiquette? Lu Yibei thought.
"You can rest assured about this, Li is always honest and won't do such a thing!" Burlap Sack Face said.
"Really? So, he's not that kind of arrogant, unjust, snobbish, inwardly dirty, petty rich second generation?" The girl asked thoughtfully.
"Of course not!"
Li Tanghan, "..."
Although what she said wasn't wrong, why did it feel like something was off?
Did she already sense something and say this on purpose?
"Really? I thought he was that kind of arrogant, unjust, snobbish, inwardly dirty, petty rich second generation! It seems I was overthinking."
"This... you can rest assured. You'll know when you meet him later." Peeling Skin said.
"Okay, since he's not that arrogant... petty rich second generation, it's okay to meet him."
"After all, Rouxun said that character is very important when making friends." Lu Yibei said seriously.
Li Tanghan, "..."
Damn it! That's enough! Don't I have a name?
Do you need to repeat those messy prefixes every time you say something?
Burlap Sack Face was silent for a while, then suddenly seemed to think of something and scratched his head, asking, "No, Demoness Adult, did Rouxun say that?"
Li Tanghan next door heard this and nodded, secretly agreeing in his heart, Yes, did he say that? Why do I feel like...
"Rouxun said so many things in his life, how do you know he didn't say it?" Lu Yibei glanced at the two urban legend and said lightly, "Why don't you ask him in person?"
"This..." Peeling Skin was startled by the words, "You, you also know the Directional Soul Summoning Spell?"
"Not really, but I can send you to see the Old Adult." Lu Yibei said expressionlessly.
"..."
Peeling Skin and Burlap Sack Face trembled violently, examining Lu Yibei with suspicion for a moment. After confirming that she wouldn't suddenly erupt and kill them, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, if she was willing, saying she could send them to see him meant she really could send them.
----
After roughly observing the meeting room, which was decorated in a very warm style, Lu Yibei's already somewhat flustered mood gradually became more anxious.
This Hongshan Villa District and this Li Tanghan both have big problems.
There is a statue of an evil god on the island in the lake of the Hongshan Villa District, which clearly isn't a proper place.
And Li Tanghan living in such a place, also suspected of secretly reselling Spiritual Energy items under the guise of art trading, is an even more dangerous character.
Damn it! I finally stood firm once, how did I run into this kind of thing? Lu Yibei thought. She now had a sense of crisis, feeling like she had stumbled into the lair of a gangster group.
But.
Although it was still possible to slip away now, since she was already here, if she didn't try to find out the whereabouts of the ancient sword and the details of the evil god statue on the island in the lake, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
When people can't sleep, they want to find something to do, like playing the suona. At that time, the residents of Happiness Community won't be able to sleep either.
So, for the sake of the neighbors' sleep quality and health, she probably had to stay here for a while. After all, those neighbors are good people who borrow things without returning them!
Sitting on the sofa in the corner, Lu Yibei, who had been secretly thinking for a moment and decided to stay and observe the situation for now, took out her phone and glanced at it. Seeing that Jiang Li hadn't replied yet, she couldn't help but frown.
Immediately after, she got up and said to Peeling Skin and Burlap Sack Face, "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be back soon."
After speaking, she put on her guitar bag, pushed open the door, and left the room. Following the direction pointed out by the Uncle Driver earlier, she walked towards the restroom.
Leaving the room, walking through a short corridor, and entering the restroom, she immediately locked the door from the inside. She leaned against the door and listened quietly for a while. After confirming that no one was around, she took out her phone and dialed the number of the "Genius Mahjong Girl" that she had asked Jiang Li for earlier.
Although she had decided to stay, not having backup support always made her feel uneasy.
What if she encountered danger and couldn't escape?
However...
"The number you dialed is switched off, please try again later..."
"Damn it! This woman is really something. Not only does she not reply to messages, she doesn't even answer the phone..." Lu Yibei cursed in a low voice, poked her temple, pondered for two seconds, and picked up her phone again.
Since Jiang Li was playing missing, she could only find a way to do something herself to make herself feel at ease, for example, calling in a report.
