Chapter 944: A Troubled Night

Half an hour passed, yet Happy still hadn’t received a reply from Chen Kaixin. It seemed this cultivation experience had dealt a heavy blow to him, as he remained silent without responding.
Happy assumed he was shaken and, considering her own tight schedule, comforted him in her mind before quickly getting back to business.
She immediately sent messenger pigeons to the two people who had tasks for the day, replied to Bai Xiaosheng, asking him to locate the Wild Wolves again and to contact Silver Fox directly from now on to handle matters related to the Wild Wolves—of course, Happy wouldn’t forget to instruct Silver Fox to eliminate them completely.
At such times, every effort must be made to strike at and destroy all of the Wild Wolves’ connections.
The members of the Wild Wolves team were top experts, but they were few in number. Losing a few would severely weaken them, and in the Central Plains, even the Evil Emperor would be doomed if he came there.
“I understand.”
Silver Fox was very satisfied with this task: “I’ll ensure they’re all eliminated within three days.”
……
“The locations of the ten copies of *Heavenly Demon Strategy* are known: one each with the eight demonic sects, one at Ci Hang Jing Zhai, and one in the hands of King Li Shimin of Tian Ce Fu. Once Silver Fox’s men succeed, the Evil Emperor won’t dare send people to the Central Plains easily, which will surely slow down his acquisition of *The Great Art of Planting Demons in the Heart*. There won’t be any immediate danger here.”
As she thought this through, Happy sent a messenger pigeon to Thunderous Heaven.
The latter had already sent a letter asking for help the day before, saying that the Americas were facing too many threats from the Wild Wolves organization. Over the past two months, many gangs had been terrified by the Wild Wolves and had lost their fighting spirit, choosing to compromise. Only Longmen was still holding on thanks to its strong foundation.
But the Wild Wolves had many top experts, and it was said they had a prophet as their backer, making Thunderous Heaven’s situation extremely difficult.
Although Happy couldn’t go to the Americas to help, she could still do something in Asia…
She told Thunderous Heaven via messenger pigeon that the Mu Family would go all out to deal with the Wild Wolves, and she also shared with him the list of Wild Wolves members she had obtained from another world.
Happy believed that with Thunderous Heaven and Longmen’s strength, dealing with the Wild Wolves shouldn’t be too difficult.
Sure enough!
“Thank you, Brother Happy!”
Thunderous Heaven replied quickly, his words written in an energetic style, clearly very excited: “What troubles me the most right now is not knowing the names of the Wild Wolves. If these people are all members of the Wild Wolves, I’ll kill all these bastards in America!!”
The prophet indeed had strong detection abilities, but no shielding capability.

Megatron could simply find any I Ching master to determine the positions of those names, and then use his formidable strength and experience to easily crush the Wild Wolves. Once the two largest regions—Central Plains and the United States—were secured, the Wild Wolves would not only be severely weakened but also forced to develop in those peripheral countries. For them to grow rapidly would be nothing short of delusional…
“No need to thank me. If you have time, you can put more pressure on the Wild Wolves. And as for the Prophet, he’s too ambitious to be ignored.”
“Hehe, that’s exactly what I think too.”
Megatron’s reply was filled with icy murderous intent.
…
The Wild Wolves were Happy’s biggest concern in the martial world. Now that a complete plan to contain them had been put in place, Happy finally breathed a sigh of relief:
“Hey, aren’t you going to say anything?”
“I’ve already found the training method for the ‘I Jin Jing’—you just need to switch to top-tier equipment. As for sword skills, practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill for a while should help you master the flow of true energy… I’m leaving.”
“…”
“I really am leaving!”
After calling out several times in his mind, there was still no response from another voice. It felt as though a part of his heart was missing, leaving Happy uneasy. Unable to help it, he frowned and thought, “Could he be in trouble in reality?”
“Log out of the game!”
In his bedroom, Happy took off his helmet, pulled back the covers, and got out of bed…
Unlike the hospital room in that other world, returning to this room filled Happy with emotions as he reflected on everything here.
Night was the time when melancholy set in the strongest!
Gazing at the moonlight streaming in through the window, Happy let out a long sigh. He couldn’t help but think of Xu Xin, who was just across the wall. This girl, who should have had no chance of connecting with him, had come to his side because of an unexpected stormy night… Deviating from her original path, she appeared in his life!
At this moment, even though he went to the other side, he could no longer completely cut ties with the feelings Xu Xin had entrusted to him. That heavy burden made it hard for him to breathe.
“What should I do?”
With a bitter smile, Happy instinctively reached for the cup on his desk. His heavy mood made his lips even drier and his throat feel scorched.
“How long has this guy not gone out to get water?”
The cup was completely empty.
“Clang!”
Pushing back his chair, Happy picked up the cup, stepped out of the room with a heavy heart, poured himself a glass of water, opened the floor-to-ceiling window, and went onto the balcony.
The room still exuded the warmth and fragrance he cherished—it was the scent of home.

The memories of over a year, the feelings of over a year—all witnessed in this room…
She couldn’t help but sigh. Under the cool moonlight, she sat on the wicker chair on the balcony. The white wicker chair had an inexplicable allure under the moonlight—probably added by Xu Xin.
She fell into silent thought.
When facing Xu Yao over there, Happy felt a pained compassion, her mind filled with thoughts of what was happening there.
In the game, she always forced herself to make the most of every minute and second, chasing, keeping chasing—without hesitation!
In this game, she also had to deal with Chen Kaixin, who made her uncomfortable—a man she had suppressed for a year and a half.
Now…
Chen Kaixin hadn’t spoken or shown up, which strangely gave her a chance to catch her breath…
Like a fish that had been diving for a long time finally getting the chance to surface to breathe!
There was both the relief and joy of breathing free air, along with a sense of relaxation from escaping to a quiet place.
In short, Happy’s mood was very complex. On one hand, she hoped Chen Kaixin would say something about the current situation; on the other hand, she was worried he might come out to confront her.
“…”
Beneath the cool night breeze, Happy thought of many things—every detail of this world, the many memories with her friends here. She also let out several sighs that made her feel suffocated.
She didn’t know how long she had sat there. Suddenly, a chill swept over her.
“Achoo!!”
Happy snapped back to reality. With a bitter sigh, she realized continuing like this might harm Chen Kaixin’s condition, so she quickly got up to go back inside.
As she turned to leave, her body froze in place!
A delicate figure stood in the living room, as if she had been there for a long time. A pair of bright eyes stared at the person on the balcony, puzzled.
Xu Yao!
“You’re still up this late.”
Normally, given their relationship, Happy should have said something unkind like, “What are you doing here…?” But thinking of the misunderstandings in the other world, her mood had already changed. She couldn’t help but soften her tone.
“I saw you sitting there alone, seeming preoccupied…”
Xu Yao hadn’t slept. She had come out of the game and gotten up in the middle of the night to get some water, but since Xu Xin was still sleeping nearby, she moved very quietly. To her surprise, she found Happy sitting alone on the balcony as soon as she opened the door.
That was one thing…

Living under the same roof, Xu Yao had no intention of disturbing this boss…
But Happy’s heavy, sighful expressions showed Xu Yao a completely different side of him for the first time.
The seemingly invincible, confident, and extremely authoritative number one in the Central Plains actually sighed like an ordinary person.
In many people’s eyes, Happy was an omnipotent being!
A young man with extraordinary intelligence and wisdom, possessing billions in wealth that others didn’t have, a caring girlfriend, and countless admirers among brothers and friends—a boss who was perfect in both reality and virtual worlds…
Why did he seem so worried?
Xu Yao unconsciously stopped in the darkness, silently watching Happy.
That was until Happy got up due to the cold.
“Ah…”
Startled, Xu Yao realized she had stood there foolishly for so long, only to be noticed by the boss she had always disliked.
Just as she thought she would be scolded by the angry boss, she saw a tenderness in Happy’s eyes that he had never shown her before, and his tone was gentle.
“You’re still up this late.”
Hearing this, Xu Yao thought it might be Xu Xin who was awakened by her, so she looked around before blushing and answering, “I… I came out to get some water.” She quickly headed toward the water dispenser…
But because she had stood there for too long, her muscles stiffened, and she collapsed to the ground.
Happy might have been clumsy in another world, but here he was fine—he quickly rushed over and caught her.
“Th-thank you… Ah…”
Held by Happy, Xu Yao quickly remembered what had happened, but her feet felt numb. She cried out in shock yet still couldn’t get up.
“Have you been standing for too long?”
Happy noticed the problem.
Her face burned with embarrassment; she didn’t dare answer, let alone look up at him.
Happy didn’t hesitate—he helped her up and led her to the sofa…
“Did you sprain your foot?”
“No, I’m fine. Sitting down will be okay. You should go back inside before catching a cold.”
“I’m a man after all. I’m not as fragile as you say. Let me rub it for you.”
“No need!” Xu Yao reacted like a cat with its tail stepped on, almost bouncing off the sofa.
Xu Xin was her sister, and Happy was Xu Xin’s boyfriend—she was very clear about that. Although Happy meant well, it would be bad if they were seen together and caused misunderstandings between her sisters.
“Then rub it yourself…”
“Okay.”
Silence soon fell between them.

After half a minute, Xu Yao could no longer bear the unbearable wait and finally spoke hesitantly, “Xiao Kai, you’ve been sitting there for so long—do you have something on your mind?”
