Chapter 673 The Final Mission
"Alright, then I want to see just how powerful you are in battle."
Wang Chao looked at Shen Bing's stunning face, smiled slightly, and his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Before he could say anything, Shen Bing had already leaned down, and her crimson lips pressed against his.
Fragrant, soft, sweet...
That night, another intense battle ensued.
As the fight reached its climax, the battlefield of their skirmish changed: the bed, the floor, the bathtub...
This battle was evenly matched and hard-fought!
In the end, after giving it their all, both of them lay in bed, holding each other, panting for breath.
"Brother Wang, I love you."
Shen Bing lay on Wang Chao's chest, kissed him on the cheek, and then nestled her head against his chest, listening to the rhythmic beating of his heart as she drifted off to sleep.
Wang Chao held her in his arms, feeling satisfied for the first time.
"If only time could stand still right here."
Wang Chao looked at the peacefully sleeping Shen Bing, his heart filled with infinite longing.
But he knew he was in the martial world, and his actions were not entirely his own.
He still didn't know what mission his master had for him.
If it involved traveling far and wide, he might have to leave Shen Bing and go to other places to fight.
"Dad..."
"Dad, don't go, Dad..."
Just as Wang Chao was lost in thought, suddenly, sleeping Shen Bing started talking in her sleep. Her hand tightly gripped his arm, and her expression turned anxious and fearful.
Clearly, she was dreaming about her missing father.
Wang Chao held her hand, gently comforting her, "It's okay, Dad is here, Dad will never leave you."
His words seemed to possess a magical power, immediately calming Shen Bing's panic and pain.
Her previously distressed expression gradually stabilized, and she eventually fell into a deep and peaceful sleep without any more nightmares.
Wang Chao looked at her face and sighed softly.
Shen Bing had her share of misfortunes. She had so much, yet her family life was far from perfect. Her mother had passed away, her father was missing, her younger brother was in a deep sleep, her uncle and clan members were constantly scheming against each other...
Even worse, Shen Dongshan had hired assassins several times, attempting to eliminate Shen Bing once and for all.
Thinking about all this, Wang Chao felt even more compassionate toward Shen Bing.
He had pitied her before, but now that Shen Bing was officially his woman, his heart ached even more for her.
"It seems I need to find a way to locate Bing Bing's father," Wang Chao thought to himself.
Shen Bing's biggest concern was her younger brother and her father. Shen Feng's condition had been resolved, and he had benefited from absorbing the enormous power left behind by the spirit bugs. His brain should become more active, and he would likely become much smarter. While he might not become a world-shaking genius, there was no doubt he could become a talented individual who surpassed many elites.
However, the whereabouts of Shen Bing's father remained unknown.
After Shen Bing had fallen deeply asleep, Wang Chao quietly got up, covered her with the blanket, and thought for a moment. He used encrypted methods to make a call to his master. "Master, it's me."
"What's going on now? I'm discussing life goals with the widow from the neighboring village. If there's nothing urgent, don't bother me. What do you want?" An old and impatient voice came from the other end.
Wang Chao was at a loss for words.
This old man led quite a comfortable life. He lived in seclusion, occasionally flirting with the widow, and seemed to be living carefree.
He took a deep breath and said in a calm tone, "Master, I have a question for you."
"Why are you asking this?"
In the end, the master finally began to respond, speaking in a solemn tone, "What do you want to say?"
Wang Chao didn't hesitate and revealed everything truthfully, saying, "Master, if you really came from that place, I have a question. I currently work in a company in Canton City, and I'm in a relationship with the company's female boss."
"Her mother and younger brother were both infected with the 'Spirit Bug' brought out by the Red Robed Messenger from that place, and her father went missing while searching for the antidote, the 'Ghostly Dark Flower.'"
"Master, I would like to ask for your help this time to find out where Bing Bing's father is."
He knew how extraordinary his master's abilities were, and if his master intervened, there would be no information that couldn't be found. At this point, he had to rely on his master's unique talents.
"By the way you're talking, are you planning to start a family?" the master suddenly asked.
"After completing your final task, I also want to retire, like you," Wang Chao replied truthfully.
"That's a good thing. Do you have any children?"
"Master, could you please stop being so nosy? Just tell me if you can help me find my girlfriend's father's whereabouts?"
"If I intervene, I can certainly find it. However, I have a condition, it's also the final task. Listen carefully."
The master's voice was incredibly serious and solemn, indicating that what he was about to say was of utmost importance.
"Master, go on. I'm prepared to hear it." Wang Chao's expression became serious and focused, and his heart raced at that moment. He had followed his master for eight years, and this was the first time he heard his master speak with such seriousness.
Clearly, the task his master was about to assign was of significant importance, something not to be taken lightly.
Wang Chao held his breath, awaiting his master's final mission with a mix of nervousness, anticipation, and some anxiety.
Since his master mentioned that it was the last mission, it meant that his master approved of him retiring after completing the task. However, Wang Chao knew that this final task would not be simple and might even involve life-threatening dangers.
However, after waiting for a minute, his master hadn't mentioned the task. Instead, he heard the sounds of mahjong tiles clashing and his master and the women's cheerful shouts:
"Pung!"
"Haha, concealed Kong!"
"Little beauty, you're on the right track with that pure set, pung!"
...
Wang Chao: (*???*||).
They were playing mahjong again?
He raised his voice, "Master, what's the final task?"
"Wait a moment, pung! Haha, winning hand, pay up!"
From his phone came his master's cheerful voice, followed by an impatient tone, "I'll give you your task shortly. Why are you so impatient? If you affect my luck, watch me teach you a lesson!"
"Alright, listen carefully. This final task is crucial for both you and me!"
After a pause, he continued in an even more serious and earnest tone, "Within five years, you must have two sons with your wife!"
"What? Master, are you serious?" Wang Chao was dumbfounded.
He had just prepared himself to leave the city and embark on an adventure in another place, and now, the final mission he received was to have children? What kind of ridiculous task was this?
He seriously doubted that his master had won money while playing mahjong and was in a good mood, which was why he assigned him such a task.
"Wang Chao, you mustn't underestimate this task! Wait a moment, I'm reshuffling the tiles."
A sound of shuffling tiles echoed, and then his master's voice came again, "Reproduction is the instinct of every living being and the duty and responsibility of every one of us."
"If you don't have sons, who will inherit the enormous power of the Dark Night Corps in the future?"
"If you don't have two children, who will be the strong support of the Dark Night Corps in the future?"
"And, don't underestimate this matter. The more powerful we become through our training, the lower our reproductive capabilities tend to be."
"Look at me, your master, for all these years. My wife hasn't laid a single egg, and there's nothing wrong with her, the problem lies with me."
"So, while your cultivation hasn't surpassed an old man like me, I'm giving you your final task: hurry up and have children!"
"... " Wang Chao was rendered speechless.
At the same time, his brow furrowed slightly.
Even though the master was aging, his health was excellent, and he was as strong as a tiger. Even Wang Chao wasn't sure if he could surpass his master.
But his master had no children, was it really as his master said, that the higher one's cultivation, the weaker their reproductive abilities?
"Five dots!"
"Three dots!"
"Pung!"
"Alright, if you're okay, hurry up and go have some fun with your wife. Try to have two boys. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Wang Widow, hold on a second, I want this tile, concealed Kong! Double it! Haha, I'm really lucky today."
His master laughed heartily and then hung up the phone.
Wang Chao looked at his phone, feeling utterly baffled.
He had expected the final task to be an incredibly challenging one, but it turned out to be having children. He suspected his master was randomly assigning tasks just to keep him occupied. What kind of task was this?
To have children to inherit the Dark Night Corps, was the corps something to be inherited?
If he had children, he'd rather they were far from the conflicts and lived as ordinary people, leading a peaceful, happy life.
In the Dark Night Corps, he might have fame and fortune, but he also faced tremendous danger every day. He bore countless scars and had crawled to the top of the Dark Night Corps. Now, he had tasted all the bitterness, and he didn't want his future children to suffer the same fate.
His master assigning him this task while playing mahjong was simply unreliable.
"Hmm?"
While Wang Chao was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a trace of murderous intent, which made his expression turn cold.
He quieted down and carefully sensed the situation before relaxing. This trace of murderous intent wasn't directed at them but at someone else. Since it didn't concern him, he decided to ignore it.
Wang Chao returned to the bed, hugging Shen Bing, and went to sleep.
Although the task his master gave was unreliable, for him, it was the best task. He could avoid returning to the Dark Night Corps for missions that involved killing, assassination, and attacking other factions. He wouldn't have to face bullets and danger daily, always teetering between life and death.
If possible, he just wanted to quietly stay with his woman, get married, have children, be filial to his parents, take care of his family, and lead a peaceful and ordinary life.
...
The next day, Wang Chao and Shen Bing got up and freshened up, then ordered room service and had breakfast in the lobby.
While having breakfast, Shen Bing was also on the phone, dealing with her company's affairs. After arranging a series of tasks, she opened her tablet and held a video conference for almost an hour.
As the company's CEO, she was busier than anyone, overwhelmed with work. During the meetings, when encountering issues, she sternly reprimanded the managers responsible for the mistakes. On the other hand, she highly praised the managers who did well.
She was fair and just, wielding both authority and kindness, and ran the company in an exemplary manner.
Wang Chao sat there quietly, looking at her, admiration in his eyes.
It was hard to imagine that this independent, capable woman could be so gentle and fragile yesterday, no matter if they were shopping or doing anything else, she was so soft in front of him.
The contrast was simply too big!
After Shen Bing finished breakfast and wrapped up her company's affairs around 11 a.m., she looked apologetically at Wang Chao. "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, but the company's matters are too busy."
"I understand. As the CEO, it's abnormal if President Shen isn't busy." Wang Chao smiled.
Shen Bing walked over, hugging Wang Chao's arm and planted a kiss on his face, asking, "So, do you regret being with me? I'm so busy, and there are many times I can't be with you."
"As long as our hearts stay forever in love, why should we be together every single day?" Wang Chao kissed her back.
They locked eyes and both had a loving smile; it was almost like their love had drawn threads between them.
"We have a medical conference today; we should head back. We shouldn't miss such an event." Wang Chao said.
"Alright." Shen Bing sweetly smiled.
Her main purposes for coming to White Eagle Country were twofold: to save her brother and make the Divine Medicine Group shine in the world. She couldn't afford to miss such a grand event due to a date.
However, as they were about to leave, suddenly, the door was pushed open, and two White Eagle Country police officers entered, their expressions cold and hostile.
One of the officers said sternly, "There has been a murder next door. Both of you are suspects and can't leave!"
