Legend of Dragon Son-in-law-Chapter 1355: Uninvited Guest

Swimming City.

The city of sin.

It harbors countless secrets, concealing uncountable people who have been declared dead to the outside world.

Only the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance dares to hold down the head of the mighty Swimming City.

Centuries of heritage dictate that everyone who comes here must abide by its rules.

But there are exceptions.

Julius Reed once came to Swimming City alone and chopped off the City Lord’s head.

Now, he has blown up Rat Town and countless climbing vines reaching the sky.

He destroyed Isabella Warm’s plan.

The vines mature only once every four years.

When he was in Rat Town before, Julius Reed had encountered them up close.

The maturation time of these vines was roughly three months from now.

According to the timeline, Rat Town must have started planting these vines, which are somewhat related to the Blue Sea Green Vine, not long after his own mishap that year.

The poison egg nearly flipped Rat Town upside down.

Even Nicholas Pendleton, who was standing at the entrance of Rat Town, was staggered by the roaring in his ears.

For a moment, he couldn’t stand steady.

At this time.

Rat Town.

Within a squarely shaped courtyard.

Young Master Cook, who had previously been beaten by Julius Reed, was sitting in the yard, chatting with a girl opposite him.

"Miss Lotus, I heard you arrived in Rat Town when I accompanied my father to a meeting this morning, so I hurried back," Zanis Cook, lifting his wine cup, said with a smile: "I was delayed on the road, my apologies for making you wait."

Having said that, he brought the cup to his lips, intending to drink it all in one gulp.

Boom!

A loud blast.

Zanis Cook trembled, choking on the wine in his throat.

"Cough..."

He bent over awkwardly, coughing loudly.

Tears were also instantly choked out.

"Young Master!"

The guards of Seventh Route rushed over quickly, some handing him a towel, others gently patting his back.

"It’s nothing, it’s nothing..." Zanis Cook took the towel, wiped his mouth, and said somewhat disheveled: "What’s happened?"

"We are not sure."

The guards of Seventh Route looked at each other in confusion.

Everyone was in the same courtyard, who could say what happened?

But looking in the direction the sound was coming from, it seemed like they could see...

A mushroom cloud?

This smoke, under the setting sun, looked very spectacular.

"A bomb?" The girl across from Zanis Cook stood up, her eyes carrying a trace of gravity.

Such a distant sound of an explosion, still audible, feeling the ground shake.

And looking at this mushroom cloud, it definitely wasn’t a minor event.

"Miss Lotus, there’s no need to worry," Zanis Cook, thinking that the girl in front of him was frightened, quickly consoled: "It’s all right, Rat Town is very safe. Please, have a seat."

After saying that, he turned his head and ordered the people behind him: "Go get the wine I bought when I last entered the city!"

"Young master, that’s the Commander’s cherished collection..."

Slap!

Before one of the underlings could finish speaking, he received a slap on the face.

"What do you mean? Miss Lotus is a guest of this young master, it’s not your place to have a say about which wine to take! Scram!"

Zanis Cook kept a stern face, fiercely kicking the underling in the stomach: "Go get it now! Otherwise, I’ll bust you!"

As his words fell, he pulled out a box of hidden weapons from his waist, pointing at the person in front of him.

"Yes, young master."

The underling of Seventh Route hurriedly got up from the ground, but before he could leave, urgent knocking sounds came from the courtyard door.

"No need to bother with it."

Zanis Cook adjusted his emotions, sat back down in the chair, and looked at the girl in front with a smile: "Miss Lotus, about the matter you discussed with me last time, I’ve already started looking into it."

"Oh? What progress has Young Master Cook made?" The woman in white finally showed a ripple of emotion on her icy face upon hearing this.

"Hehe, how about, let’s drink a cup of wine first?" Zanis Cook picked up the wine pot on the table and filled the woman’s cup: "Let’s drink and talk, what do you think?"

He’s been coveting the woman before him for more than a day or two.

But due to the woman’s identity, he had to pursue her and didn’t dare to force himself on her.

If it were an ordinary woman, the mighty Zanis Cook would have long since knocked her out, carried her to his mansion—why would he go through such trouble?

"Fine." The woman nodded slightly, managing to squeeze out a meager smile.

She gently picked up her cup of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

"Refreshing!" Zanis Cook also picked up his cup and drank it zealously.

"Miss Lotus is truly forthright!" He wiped his mouth, his face alight with a satisfied smile: "The vines in Rat Town are called Blue Sea Green Vine, and they’ve been growing for over three years now!"

Zanis Cook stretched out three fingers, chuckling: "Hagan Marsh took the advantage, planting hundreds of acres of Blue Sea Green Vine for others! Look..."

As he spoke, he took out a small brocade box from under the table and placed it on the table.

Then, he gently opened it.

Inside the box was a vine.

"Thank you, Young Master..." A gleam flashed in the woman’s eyes, but as she reached out, Zanis Cook grabbed her hand.

With a jolt like an electric shock, the woman quickly retracted her hand.

"Miss Lotus, don’t be impatient." Zanis Cook’s face bore a lecherous smile, his eyes revealing his longing.

Such a beautiful woman!

If only he could get her in bed...

As the thought crossed his mind, lustful fire coursed through him.

"Have a drink, let’s talk slowly." Zanis Cook picked up the wine pot and refilled the woman’s cup once again.

"Fine." The woman in white reluctantly picked up the cup of wine, her eyes fixed on the vine.

Watching her drain the cup, Zanis Cook’s heart swelled with ecstasy!

The wine contained an aphrodisiac!

Its toxicity was extremely potent!

Normally, he would certainly not dare to do this.

But now, he had received news from his father that the Seventh Route was preparing to take down the Ninth Route and unify the lower three routes.

What did a mere woman count for?

Dwelling on her endlessly, coupled with the desire for what he cannot have, has long since warped his features!

"Can we do it now?"

After the woman in white finished her wine, she pointed to the brocade box: "Thank you, Young Master Cook."

"Thank you?" Zanis Cook loosened his collar, his face reddening slightly: "Then why not repay me with your body?"

"Young Master must be joking." The woman in white’s brows furrowed slightly, warily watching him.

"Haha! I never joke!" Zanis Cook pointed to the wine cup: "I’ve put a drug in here. Don’t you feel a burning heat all over your body?"

"Despicable!"

The woman in white suddenly stood up and moved backwards.

"Haha!" Zanis Cook laughed excitedly, slowly taking off his coat.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The knocking from outside grew louder and louder.

"Go, deal with that blind fool for me!" He was about to commit a vile act when the knocking outside had already irritated him immensely.

Boom!

But before his underlings of the Seventh Route could reach the door, the vermilion wooden door crashed down!

Gunpowder fumes still lingering, Nicholas Pendleton had already led his men storming into the courtyard.

"The Ninth Route!"

Seeing this figure in a straw coat, Zanis Cook’s heart trembled!

The scoundrels of the Ninth Route, weren’t they supposed to have been wiped out long ago?

How could they possibly appear here?

"Young Master Cook." Nicholas Pendleton entered with a smiling face, quietly slipping his hand into his pocket.

"Mr... Mr. Pendleton?" Zanis Cook recognized Nicholas Pendleton, and attempted to remain calm: "What brings Mr. Pendleton to my Seventh Route?"

"To kill you!"

Nicholas Pendleton abruptly revealed a dart-launching box!

Whiz!

The dart pierced through Zanis Cook’s skull, spurting a plume of blood mist into the air.
