Lord of Prayer - Chapter 191 149: Yang
Considering all the details, Zhou Chen felt the letter must be for him.
“Hong City…”
He knew a little about the city mentioned in the letter.
—Hong City was known as the City of Flowers and the World’s Fashion Capital. It was most famous for its ubiquitous, picturesque flower parks, its annual international film festival, and its grand, spectacular fashion lingerie show.
But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t recall knowing anyone from Hong City.
After a moment, Zhou Chen took out his phone, searched for Hong City in his browser, and checked the city’s recent news.

Zhou Chen glanced over the headlines and, without hesitation, clicked on the announcement for the lingerie show.
He was instantly invigorated.
Unlike the clickbait trash designed to generate traffic, this article was full of substance. It listed all the contestants’ personal information and photos: stunning looks, sexy bodies, and seductive poses, paired with incredibly alluring lingerie styles. It was a real feast for the eyes—black stockings, white stockings, garter belts, fishnets…
Most, most, most importantly, among the sizzling supermodels competing this time, there weren’t just humans—there were also Beast Girls!
“HISSS…”
Zhou Chen did a tactical lean-back and began to ponder inwardly.
‘I still have a few days of vacation left. Looks like I have to make a trip to Hong City…’
‘Of course, it’s definitely not for the lingerie show. It’s to figure out who sent this letter and what connection they have to me.’
‘Besides, isn’t it perfectly normal to take a trip to relax during vacation?’

“So, this is your reason for wanting to go see the lingerie show?”
In the office, Jiang Che put down the letter and looked at Zhou Chen, his cold gaze filled with obvious disdain. “You didn’t have to come up with such a lame excuse, did you?”
“Whoa, you don’t believe me? I really did receive this letter out of the blue! I’m planning to go investigate. And what lingerie show? Never heard of it!” Zhou Chen declared righteously, feigning complete ignorance.
Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Old Yang walked in holding a stack of files. Hearing Zhou Chen’s words, his eyes lit up. “Did I just hear you say the words ‘lingerie show’?”
“…What are you doing here?”
“Delivering a report, Leader Jiang. Could you please sign this document? It’s the previous battle damage and compensation list… Ah, alright. Thank you.”
After Jiang Che finished signing, Old Yang raised an eyebrow at Zhou Chen. “You’re going to Hong City?”
“How did you know? I received a letter, and the sender…”
Before Zhou Chen could continue, Old Yang clapped him on the shoulder. “Leader Jiang, I should still have my annual leave, right?
This kid has never traveled far. As his senior, I’ll reluctantly take him out to see the world!”
And so, just like that, they set off.

「On the high-speed train.」
Zhou Chen looked at the broadly grinning older man with an expression of contempt. “Is that all you can think about? I’m going to Hong City on serious business.”
“Tsk, listen to you. I refuse to believe you don’t want to watch. I’ll let you in on a little secret—I have inside information. This year’s lingerie show is going to be explosive. The officially announced list of contestants is just a small part of it. Several heavyweight figures will also be making an appearance,” Old Yang said mysteriously.
“Heavyweight figures? Who, Brother Blade?” Zhou Chen asked.
“Dragon Ladies! It’s Dragon Ladies!” Old Yang’s face lit up, and he lowered his voice to a whisper. “The beautiful kind, with horns on their heads, vertical pupils, tails, and scales on their bodies!
And besides, Hong City is the capital of fashion. The pretty girls there are countless, of every type imaginable. I’ve wanted to go have some fun there for ages. Who knows, I might even complete my collection.”
“Damn, you think you’re playing Pokemon or something?” Zhou Chen couldn’t help but retort. ‘Fucking “complete my collection,” my ass.’
“This is one of my lifelong Dreams, you know? Spending money like water while sleeping with all the famous models and actresses in the World…” Old Yang said in a tone full of longing.
Zhou Chen was speechless. He turned his head to look at the scenery flashing by outside the window.
‘It was his first time traveling, so it was impossible not to be excited. It was just a shame there wasn’t much to see along the way—just plains and towering mountains. It got old after a few glances.’
“Seriously, do you want to go or not? If you do, I’ll buy the tickets now. Star Association employees have an inside track; we can get front-row seats. If we wait any longer, the good spots might be gone.” Old Yang nudged Zhou Chen with his elbow.
Zhou Chen feigned hesitation. “I really do have serious business to take care of…”
“C’mon, we’re just going for the novelty of it. It won’t take up much time.” Old Yang continued to coax him. They were both men; he knew the score.
“Forget it, forget it.”
“C’mon, c’mon.”
After going back and forth a few times, Zhou Chen finally put on an act, as if to say, ‘It’s not that *I* want to go, you’re the one dragging me, so I’ll reluctantly agree’:
“Fine… I guess we can go have a look.”
“Okay! Two VIP deluxe tickets. We even get to have dinner with the supermodels tonight… That’s one hundred thousand each. Remember to send me the money, ‘kay?”
