Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

"Thank goodness, I finally got through. Hey, Gao Kui, can you hear me?"

I just called you and Nuonuo several times, but you were all out of service. Where are you now? Did something happen?

"There were indeed some unexpected events, I'll go into details later. We're now in the city, not far from the Regent Hotel, about twenty minutes away."

"Was there any accident? Is the person alright? If they are, that's good."

Commissioner Raymond has an urgent matter and needs to leave FZ City early. His flight needs to be moved up. If you're not far from there, you can continue to pick up the documents. I was originally planning to have Fingel go instead..."

After chatting with Professor Guderian for a few more minutes, Gao Kui hung up the phone and said to Chen Motong, "Commissioner Raymond has an urgent matter and is urging us to go there as soon as possible."

"I almost forgot I had important business to attend to."

Chen Motong stuck out her tongue. That's how shopping is. You can easily spend an hour or two trying on a few outfits, not to mention the fierce battle she had just experienced.

"Now, the only option is to take a taxi there."

The two were standing under the road sign when, before they could even look around, a Volkswagen Santana taxi with its "For Hire" sign lit up sped towards them and stopped in front of them with a graceful parallel parking maneuver, a move often seen in movies.

The passenger window slowly rolled down, revealing a beautiful girl with a dark ponytail and striking, almost aggressive features.

"boarding."

Jiu De Mai remained expressionless and spoke in a cold tone.

Chen Motong stood there, stunned, feeling that something was off about the scene.

The beautiful female driver's entrance was the typical way a hero would appear at a crucial moment in a movie or novel, and her striking features and hot figure were perfectly suited to this kind of entrance.

But she wasn't driving a Ferrari or an Impreza WRX STI; it was just an ordinary old Volkswagen Santana taxi.

In short, it all seemed very strange, so strange that Chen Motong subconsciously wanted to stay away from the other party. The girl, who had just escaped from Nibelungen, did not want to get involved in any more trouble.

Gao Kui was also stunned, looking at the beautiful and dashing woman sitting in the car and asking, "Did you manually roll down the passenger window just now?"

Mai Shude's expression instantly crumbled.

That damn potato chip girl! Not only did she give her the job of a taxi driver, but she also gave her an old car that doesn't even have automatic windows, making her feel like the star of a circus.

If I were driving a Mercedes or a Rolls-Royce, the Child of Rebirth would definitely be attracted by the dashing demeanor and beauty I deliberately cultivated, instead of looking at me like I'm a clown!

"How about we don't take this bus?"

Chen Motong scrutinized Jiu De Mai repeatedly. Her intuition told her that this woman, who looked somewhat like a clown, definitely had ulterior motives.

Having failed in her carefully crafted entrance, Mai Shude could only reluctantly return to the role assigned to her by the potato chip girl, putting on a different enthusiastic expression: "No way, I was just joking around with a scene from a movie."

"Why take another car? Other taxi drivers aren't as well-behaved as me. I'll use the meter, I'll never deliberately take a longer route, I won't pick up other passengers along the way, and I don't smoke..."

Before Mai Shude could finish explaining her core competitiveness, Gao Kui opened the passenger door and got in, casually tossing the shopping bags into the back seat.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that it doesn't pick up other passengers along the way makes it incredibly competitive in this small coastal town.

Chen Motong stared at Gao Kui for a moment, then looked at Jiu Demai, her eyes so cold they seemed capable of killing.

Anyone with a normal sense could see that Mai Shude was definitely acting strangely, but Gao Kui still got into her taxi. Not only did he get in, but he also sat in the passenger seat.

The front passenger seat can only seat one person, but the back seat can seat three people.

What do you mean? You'd rather sit in the same row as this strange woman of unknown origin than sit in the back row with me?

Shokuto Mai raised her chin slightly, meeting Chen Motong's gaze without flinching or avoiding it, acting arrogantly like a domineering goose running rampant in the village.

Hmph, I really don't know what that person or the boss saw in you to choose you as their bride-to-be. You don't look like much at all.

In terms of looks, I'm not afraid of you; in terms of physique, I'm better than you.

"Get in the car."

Gao Kui urged Chen Motong, who was standing blankly outside the window, to hurry up. Gao Kui himself was an eccentric, and he was used to most strange people and strange things.

Chen Motong withdrew his gaze, silently opened the car door and sat in the back seat, meeting the foxy eyes of Jiu De Mai through the rearview mirror.

A mocking smile played on her lips as the victorious Mai asked, "Handsome young man, where are you headed?"

Chapter 61 Hypocrisy

"Go to the Regent Hotel, note, not the Regent Grand Hotel."

"Regent Hotel, right? Okay."

Mai Shude skillfully pressed the meter, started the car, merged into the traffic, and drove slowly towards the Regent Hotel.

With his left hand on the steering wheel, he deliberately flicked his ponytail behind his head with his right, the scent of shampoo mixed with the fragrance of Saint Laurent Black Opium perfume wafting towards the passenger seat.

Like a genuinely talkative driver, Mai asked while driving, "Handsome, you two look like a perfect match, are you a couple?"

"No, just ordinary friends."

"normal friend?"

Mai feigned surprise: "Just ordinary friends going to a hotel together?"

"We were just going to the hotel together to pick up something."

"Oh, I thought you two were a couple. You two are close in age and both are good-looking..."

Mai naturally struck up a conversation with Gao Kui in the passenger seat, starting with Gao Kui's relationship with Chen Motong and naturally moving on to Gao Kui himself, his studies, hobbies, and romantic experiences...

In just a few words, they stripped away all the superficial information and background of Gao Kui.

In fact, Jiu Demai already knew all that information. Moreover, Jiu Demai also knew a lot of information that even Gao Kui himself was unaware of: the Son of Rebirth, the Glorious King, the Seven-Horned, Seven-Eyed Lamb, the Savior, the Destroyer of the World...

But this information is more meaningful when obtained from Gao Kui himself: it means that the two had made contact and established a connection.

Mai Shude has always had strong opinions about some of the bride candidates. Why? Why aren't they me? I'm no worse than them, am I?

it's fine.

The famous philosopher Chen Peisi once said, "Can you control me or the audience who they like to watch?"

You have to fight for your own spot!

"Hehehe... No way, is it really that exaggerated?"

Mai covered her mouth and chuckled, feigning a slightly surprised expression, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gao Kui beside her: "Handsome, you don't even have a girlfriend?"

Schools in China are indeed quite strict, but even with strict rules, people still secretly flirt and date behind the school's back. College romances are much purer than those in the real world, and high school romances are even more innocent than college romances.

"You're so handsome, it's such a waste not to enjoy life while you're young..."

Chen Motong was speechless, completely unable to understand Gao Kui's thought process.

She either ignores you completely and doesn't say a word for ages, or she talks nonsense without thinking. In short, there's basically no valuable or informative information in the conversation.

He could talk about anything with this woman whose name he didn't even know, and in just a few words, he revealed all his personal information.

What exactly is your mindset?

"Sister, if you put it that way, you must have had many relationships when you were young."

Chen Motong leaned forward, interrupting the conversation between Jiu Demai and Gao Kui, and chatted enthusiastically with Jiu Demai: "Big sister, you are so charming, you must have a lot of dating experience, unlike us who are still young and don't know anything."

Could you teach us some commonly used dating tips?

Sister, you're kidding me!

Young my ass!

Screw your charm!

So much for being emotional!

Chen Motong relentlessly attacked Jiu Demai's weaknesses.

"It's not good to judge people by their appearance. Actually, I've never been in a relationship. I did have a lot of suitors when I was in school, but I was too busy with my studies to have a chance to date."

"No way."

Chen Motong exclaimed, "You were busy with your studies when you were in school, how come you're driving a taxi now? I don't mean to discriminate against taxi drivers, I'm just curious."

"My mother is a taxi driver. I just graduated from university this year and haven't found a suitable job yet. I want to help my mother share some of the burden..." Mai Shude arranged her role and character.

Originally, it was Jiude Mai and Gao Kui talking, but after Chen Motong interrupted, it became Jiude Mai and Chen Motong talking.

Gao Kui was happy to have some peace and quiet, sitting in the passenger seat watching the two women exchange barbs. Although he couldn't understand the unspoken meaning behind their words, he could sense that the tension between them was growing stronger.

Wow, I want to see rivers of blood!

Brilliant! Take her down in one fell swoop!

In Gao Kui's eyes, Jiu De Mai was no longer a taxi driver, but Dio Brando, who was shouting "Wryyy" on the streets of Egypt, looking like a dio with [The World] standing behind him, saying "Oh ho ho, you didn't choose to leave but came towards me instead?"

Chen Motong, with an air of invincibility on his face, walked towards Dio with Star Platinum behind him, saying to Jotaro, "How can I beat you up if I don't get close?"

It looked like the two were about to exchange punches in the next second.

Unfortunately, the two did not start fighting until they reached the Regent Hotel.

Mai Shude, realizing her mistake too late, deeply regretted her carelessness. What a rare opportunity to get in touch with the Child of Rebirth! In the end, she spent the entire second half bickering with the eldest daughter of the Chen family.

It's not too late to make up for it.

Jiu Demai, with her slender waist bent and leaned out of the car window, handed Gao Kui a note, and made a phone call gesture: "Handsome, I had a pretty good time chatting with you guys."

This is my contact information. Feel free to contact me anytime you need to take a bus or train. Of course, if you just want to chat with me and don't want to take a bus or train, that's fine too!

Gao Kui glanced at the note. Besides the phone number, it also listed numbers for various social media platforms such as QQ, Facebook, and Line.

"Very comprehensive." Gao Kui gave a thumbs up.

"Comprehensive means meticulous care. After all, I'm no longer a naive little girl still in school."

Mai Shude tries her best to create a caring older sister persona for herself, differentiating herself from other bride candidates like Chen Motong, and throws a farewell kiss.

"Goodbye~"

She left as quietly as she came, waving her sleeves without bringing a single cloud with her.

"This woman is too strange. She's definitely not a taxi driver. She must have some ulterior motive for getting close to you," Chen Motong said indignantly.

"I know," Gao Kui said expressionlessly.

"You knew that, yet you still got into his car and chatted with her for so long?" Chen Motong's eyes widened, completely baffled by Gao Kui's thought process.

Have you seen "Just Another Pandora's Box"?
