Roughly three kilometers away from Wind Wave Forest, in a private residence, Dr. Chen, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking every inch the cultured gentleman, put on his clothes. On the bed, a female internet celebrity lay asleep, naked, her face flushed, clearly having just been through a "fierce battle."
Dr. Chen lit up a cigarette, sat in the rocking chair on the balcony, breathing in the briny dampness of the rainy night. He gazed at the distant Wind Wave Forest, a smile playing on his lips.
"Staging such a flashy Manifestation Ritual—isn't that just waiting to be busted? I'd originally hoped Xu Huaqiang could draw the fire a little longer for me. Looks like he's meeting the Great Saint Heavenly King tonight. Fine by me. Let the police weaken my Heart Happiness Sect's rivals, saves me having to fight for incense offerings later."
