Chapter 347 So that’s it
After Zhuo finished taking a shower, when he opened the door, he saw Ling sitting on the sofa in the living room, holding a hair dryer.

Although there was a hair dryer in the bathroom, Ling seemed to have anticipated that Zhuo would come out directly without the hair dryer, so he was prepared for Zhuo.

Although Zhuo felt a little embarrassed that she saw through him, he was still very happy that Ling understood him so well.

After washing, the body no longer feels sticky, even if the air temperature outside is very low, because you have just come out of a hot bath, even the cold wind makes you feel refreshed.

Zhuo approached Zero while hiding his embarrassment.

"It feels so good after taking a bath."

"No matter how comfortable it is, it's easy to get sick if you don't blow dry after taking a shower in winter...Okay, sit there."

"It's okay, I'm still pretty strong."

"You always think that with your ability, you don't need to get wet in the rain, but you still come back in a mess."

"Why do you need to use your abilities~"

Zhuo muttered some nonsense like "It's not that embarrassing~" and "Life is life" and sat down next to Ling who was educating him like an adult. Then Ling stood up, walked around behind the sofa and plugged in the hair dryer.

Then, she stood behind Zhuo and wiped the moisture off his hair with a towel, but Zhuo still felt itchy. It was more of a mental itch than a physical itch.

"Zhuo really needs to change this lazy habit sometimes. I often do this at home. Sometimes I go out without wearing anything because the air conditioning is on."

"That's not wearing nothing. The short-sleeved shirt and pants were in good condition... Ling, that was called that..."

"I did it on purpose those days. It's inappropriate to wear short sleeves in winter, not to mention that sometimes I forget to dry the water stains after washing, so it's not allowed. As long as I'm alive, I will never allow it."

"I'll remember that."

Zhuo held back from saying "You did this on purpose" or "You're saying these because you want to be with me forever," which were the first words that came to his mind. Instead, he answered bluntly, "I'll be careful next time," and let Ling play with him.

After all, it's comfortable to have someone taking care of you.

Although Zhuo felt a little embarrassed to say this to Ling, should we say that they are a match made in heaven? One of them is very lazy and likes to be taken care of by others, while the other wants to show his role and likes to take care of others. So when Ling can use a towel to wipe away the moisture for him and make him feel good, Ling will also feel at ease.

After carefully absorbing most of the moisture, Ling picked up the prepared hair dryer and blew warm air on the washed hair.

Zero's hand movements, which were done carefully and seriously, made people feel comfortable even without being polite.

There is a saying that goes 'A man's head is the head of the nine yangs'.

Zhuo didn't like others touching his hair. It was Ling who made him feel comfortable when someone dried his hair.

After all, Zhuo just likes Ling to touch his hair, or maybe he just simply depends on who touches it.

"Zhuo is not going to tell me, why did he ask you to go out in this weather?"

Zhuo heard a small murmur mixed in with the sound of the hair dryer. Zhuo wanted to turn his head but thought about Ling who was busy and held back, and smiled.

"You're not really planning to come here for revenge, are you? I mean, that guy is a good fighter... If you really have to go, you'd better ask me to come with you." "Really? I don't have that idea, but I'm really angry."

"Then we'll beat him up together next time we have a chance... Since it's not a big deal, I didn't tell you right away. You must know about the Fierce Ghosts, right?"

"Well, a rebel among the eight families of Snake Qi among the Neon hybrids. He was imprisoned because of his unstable bloodline. During this period, he escaped to the outside world and gathered together to seek warmth. There are two leaders in this team, named after the order of chess, the King General and, as expected, the Dragon King of Kazama Ruri. This is the information I have."

"Yes, it's them. Feng Jian Liuli is the Dragon King, and as for the King General... it's actually another identity of Herzog..."

"Ah."

"Eh? Shouldn't we ask what that guy's other identity is now? Well, as expected of Zero."

"As expected of Zero? ... He is Tachibana Masamune, the head of the Snake Eight Families, right?"

"Uh, I forgot you guys have met before... It's him, but the identities of these two people are fake. You noticed last time, that person has become younger. In fact, it's not him. Herzog is in hiding, and the ones standing on the stage are the shadow dancers he created using unknown technology. I don't know the specific principle, but it can be understood as a stand-in."

"Well, Zhuo, I'm getting off topic."

"No, no, we are here now. It was Herzog who came up with the idea. He said they were going to try to expand their power and open a casino in a secluded place outside. The name of the casino is Paradise."

“Oh, where are you going to build it?”

"It should be in the mountains outside of Osaka... Are you interested in this?"

"I'm afraid you're not interested. If you were close, you would definitely go there. You can guess what this casino is about from the name."

"Well, it's not that exaggerated..."

"No, because Zhuo seemed to have known about this casino a long time ago, and I thought you would definitely want to go and see it."

"..."

Although he couldn't see Ling's eyes now, and her words were partially hidden by the sound of the hair dryer, Zhuo was already surprised just from what he heard.

Because Zhuo was indeed interested in that place. If one were to say which place in the Dragon World Zhuo remembered most clearly, it would probably be this Paradise Hall where beautiful girls in kimonos would greet and see off guests by the small bridge, apart from the one that Caesar had been to that provided shoe massage and an Internet cafe that he didn't know if it really had any other services and that Caesar hadn't explained.

As for other things, such as afternoon tea in the president's office of Kassel College, the dance party in the Ampa Hall, etc. ... With Zhuo's knowledge, he couldn't imagine what kind of scene it was, so he didn't yearn for it and wasn't interested in it. Only the things around him that seemed within reach could arouse his interest.

Especially the Internet cafe that provides shoe-shining service. Zhuo had never found it before and had been thinking about going there to get his shoes shined... But now he probably won't go there again, but Zhuo doesn't feel any regret about it.

"Well, I can't deny it, but since you've already said it, I won't think about it anymore. I thought we could just go make some money together... I have great confidence in Zero's abilities."

"I'm not particularly good at gambling."

"So even if it's--"

"Ah."
