Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 179 Surely there aren't any shameless people among us?
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock knock!

Suddenly, a rapid knocking sounded at the door, followed by a panicked voice: "It's terrible, Instructor Elon! The city lord has fainted!"

The expressions of the three people inside the room changed drastically.

"What?" Elon immediately stood up.

He opened the door and said solemnly, "Say it again, the city lord is unconscious?"

"The city lord was in the council hall when he suddenly fell ill and is currently being treated in the medical room!" the hunter who came to deliver the message replied.

Elon's heart skipped a beat.

Why did it have to happen at this crucial juncture, of all times?
Morgan can't afford to have anything happen to them now!

The situation with Bai Yuetian is still unresolved, and there is a powerful ground force eyeing them covetously. Most importantly, Morgan has not designated a successor. If he dies this time, the Beacon will be in big trouble!

"How is the city lord doing?" Elon asked.

The hunter who came to deliver the message replied, "I don't know. There are city guards at the gate, so I didn't go in."

Elon took a deep breath.

From the moment Morgan collapsed, his health condition became a top secret at The Lighthouse.

"I'm going to the medical room," Elon said in a deep voice.

Jingnan said worriedly, "I'll go too."

Elon nodded, then looked at Mark: "Whether you go to find Bai Yuetian or not is your decision, but whatever you decide to do, you must be careful. This is not just your own business, but also concerns the safety of the entire Lighthouse!"

Elon left in a hurry, giving Mark a deep look before he went.

He needed to get to the medical room as soon as possible to check on Morgan's condition, in case he was really going to die.
He has to be prepared.

What follows may be another bloody night.

Elon and Jingnan left, and the hunter who came to deliver the message also left, leaving only Mark in the office.

Mark sighed.

He murmured, "Could it be that Lord Morgan fainted because of Bai Yuetian? I wonder what Bai Yuetian is doing now."

Shangmin Residential Area

"Um--"

A suppressed groan came from the crack in the door.

Bai Yuetian raised his palm and said without changing his expression, "After you finish massaging me, I guarantee you won't have any backaches or weak legs tomorrow, just like you didn't fight the Devouring Beast today!"

Erica rolled over.

She sat up, hugged her legs, and shrank back to the window like a little hedgehog.

Erica's face turned as red as a ripe apple.

Bai Yuetian's massage was very proper; he only pressed the areas that needed to be pressed.

However, the atmosphere was already ambiguous when a man and a woman were alone in a room, and the large hands of the opposite sex roamed over her body, giving her a feeling she had never experienced before.

Aside from being beaten in the ring by Elon's coach when she was a child, this was her only contact with a man, and also her most intimate contact—a meticulous physical contact that lasted forty minutes and was called a massage.

From head to toe, she felt Bai Yuetian touch every inch of her body.

She squeezed her legs together and whispered, "Is it really as amazing as you say?"

"If I'm not feeling well tomorrow, I'll definitely teach you a lesson!" Her voice was soft and gentle, utterly harmless, which only made people look forward to seeing what she would do.

"Why can't you appreciate kindness?" Bai Yuetian raised an eyebrow.

"I learned this massage technique specifically for you. I've always been the one getting massages; I've never given one to anyone else before."

Erica blinked her big eyes.

Did Yue Tian only press it for me?
whee.

Erica gritted her teeth: "I don't care, it's your fault for rubbing me so hard!"

Bai Yuetian stared at Erica's face, his gaze burning so intensely that Erica couldn't help but avoid his eyes, unable to meet his gaze.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Erica looked away and said timidly, "Why are you staring at me without saying anything? Is there something on my face?"

“Now it’s just the two of us, Erica,” Bai Yuetian said slowly.

"What exactly did you say back then? Could you repeat it to me?"

He smiled.

The setting sun shone through the window, casting its warm glow on his face and chest, adding a touch of golden charm to his already handsome features.

Thump thump thump! Thump thump!
Thump thump thump!
Erica's heart began to race.

月天
Have you already guessed what that sentence is?

Otherwise, why did you suddenly massage me and read my palm and face if you've never touched me before?

Even in the old world, wouldn't it be considered excessively intimate for men and women to do these things?

"That sentence"

Erica bit her lip.

Bai Yuetian didn't urge her, but just smiled and watched her, waiting silently.

Erica's chest heaved up and down. Finally, she mustered her courage, raised her head, and looked at him with tender eyes.

"Moonlight, it's me."

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Erica shuddered in fright, shrinking back like a startled rabbit, and the emotions she had painstakingly built up crumbled instantly.

"Who is it?" she asked shyly.

Bai Yuetian looked helpless.

“It’s me, Penny!” A familiar voice came from outside.

Bai Yuetian got up and opened the door for Penny. Penny stood outside the door holding a stack of books, looking around nervously.

“White Moonlight??” Penny was stunned.

She looked into the room and saw Erica, her cheeks flushed.

Penny looked embarrassed.

"Sorry, I didn't know you two were inside."

"I thought it was just Erica."

"Did I disturb you? I'll leave now, you can continue."

She retreated several steps as if fleeing, cursing herself for arriving at such an inopportune time.

Bai Yuetian smiled and said, "It's alright, I was giving Erica a massage and just finished. You've come at the perfect time."

“Is that so?” Penny asked hesitantly.

Erica spoke up, "Penny, what can I do for you?"

"Ah, it's nothing big, just came to deliver a few forbidden books to you," Penny quickly bit her tongue, "the recent training manuals, haha."

She chuckled twice.

Bai Yuetian stepped aside and said, "Please come in. We're about to have dinner, so please join us."

“No need for dinner, I’ve already eaten.” Penny walked into the room.

She placed the book beside Erica's legs and earnestly instructed her, "These manuals are something I collected with great difficulty. Remember to return them to me after you've finished studying them."

Erica reached out and flipped it over.

Upon seeing the contents of the book, she looked up and gave Penny a knowing look.

Penny returned a meaningful look.

"Alright, I'm leaving!" Penny stood up and left without any hesitation.

Bang!
With a bang on the door, only Bai Yuetian and Erica remained in the room.

However, that atmosphere from before could never be recaptured.

Gollum-

Erica lowered her head shyly: "How about we eat first?"

"Mm." Bai Yuetian nodded gently.

"Dr. Carrie, how is the city lord? Is he out of danger?" Charles paced back and forth outside the ward, looking anxious.

At this moment, Carrie walked out of the ward.

Charles quickly stopped her and asked about Morgan's situation.

Carrie pursed her lips: "The city lord seems to have suffered a great shock. He suddenly fell ill shortly after taking the medication, and also has epilepsy and other complications. He is still being treated."

Carrie is the medical director of Lighthouse.

When Morgan fell ill, she rushed to the scene to treat her immediately.

"Still in critical condition?" Charles glared at Carrie.

"Then what are you doing out here? Your biggest task right now is to save the city lord. Put everything else aside!"

Carrie frowned.

She said bluntly, "I've been busy all day, and I finally managed to stabilize the city lord's vital signs. What's wrong with me coming out for some fresh air?"

"If the head of the association has any objections, he can go and treat the city lord himself!"

“You!” Charles exclaimed angrily.

At this moment, Elon asked, "Carrie, will the city lord pull through?"

Carrie took a deep breath and softened her tone: "It's hard to say. I've done everything I can, and I'm just barely managing to stay afloat. Whether we can pull through depends on tomorrow."

"correct."

"What exactly happened to cause the city lord's illness to flare up so violently this time?"

She turned to look at Victor.

Victor shook his head: "This is confidential. Whether or not to tell you depends on the city lord's decision after he wakes up."

Elon pursed his lips.

Of all those present, besides Victor, he was probably the one who knew the inside story best.

"In that case, we might never find out in this lifetime," Carrie rolled her eyes.

Charles snapped, "Shut up! How dare you curse him?"

"Oh, Chief is quite the sentimental one. I wonder how high your Shadow Value has soared? We always see the Law Firm supervising others, but who's supervising you, Chief?" Carrie said with a forced smile.

Charles clenched his fist, then relaxed it.

“If the city lord doesn’t make it through, who will be the next city lord?” he said slowly.

Victor frowned: "Charles, the city lord is still alive and well. Please watch your words."

Carrie curled her lips into a sneer.

Elon looked down at the floor, his gaze flickering uncertainly.

"It is an indisputable fact that the city lord is unconscious and unable to manage the affairs of the lighthouse."

Charles said slowly, "We should immediately appoint someone to act as regent while the city lord is unconscious, so as to prevent the lighthouse from falling into disarray and causing unnecessary trouble."

"What the leader says makes sense, but who is this person?"

Carrie said with a smile, "Is there anyone among us who's shameless enough to volunteer?"

Charles's expression froze.
