Chapter 694: Emily, Wang Jian's Original Girlfriend On Earth
Jake was one of the people who used to torment Wang Jian, back before everything changed. The thought of going to his party amused him. Perhaps in the past, he would have avoided such an event out of fear of ridicule. But now? He almost welcomed the idea. Let them try to mock him-he was no longer the same person.
"I think I'll go," Wang Jian said with a smirk, his voice dripping with confidence. Emily looked taken aback for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Later that evening, Wang Jian prepared for the party, his mind still processing everything. His experiences in the cultivation world had not only made him stronger, but they had also changed his outlook on life. Here on Earth, without his Divine powers, he still felt infinitely superior to those around him. They had no idea what kind of person he truly was.
The party was loud and filled with drunken students. Music blared through the speakers as people danced and laughed. Wang Jian arrived with Emily at his side, but his presence quickly drew attention. The once meek foreign exchange student now carried himself with an air of dominance that couldn't be ignored. Even Jake, who had once bullied him, seemed to falter for a moment when their eyes met.
Jake grinned, but there was an uneasiness in his gaze. "Hey, Wang, long time no see!" he shouted over the music, slapping Wang Jian on the back with a little too much force. It was the kind of friendly gesture that was meant to assert dominance.
Wang Jian barely reacted, his eyes locking onto Jake's. "It has been a while," Wang Jian said, his voice smooth but cold. Jake's grin faltered, and he quickly moved on, making an excuse to talk to someone else.
Emily watched the interaction, confused by the tension. "You okay?" she asked, looking up at Wang Jian.
He smiled down at her, his eyes softening for a moment. "I'm fine. Just remembering some old... friends," he said, though the word "friends" felt strange on his tongue.
The night continued, and more people began to notice the change in Wang Jian. Some tried to make small talk with him, others shot him glances from across the room, unsure of how to approach this new version of the man they had once disregarded. Wang Jian found himself enjoying the subtle power he now held over them. It wasn't the same as his godlike abilities in the cultivation world, but it was still satisfying.
Later, as he stood alone on the balcony overlooking the city, Wang Jian thought about his future. This was just the beginning. His time in Ohio, in this world, would not be spent in mediocrity. He had seen and conquered realms beyond imagining, and even though he didn't have his powers here, he still had his mind—an indomitable force shaped by thousands of years of experience. He had plans, and Earth would be his playground.
Emily joined him on the balcony, leaning against the railing. "You seem different," she said softly, her voice almost lost in the wind.
As they made their way through the crowd, Wang Jian kept his expression neutral, but his mind was already at work. He was eager to learn more about Jessica, and this would be the perfect opportunity. He was confident in his ability to read people, a skill honed over centuries in the cultivation world where deception and manipulation were as natural as breathing. Analyzing someone like Jessica would be child's play.
When they reached Jake and Jessica, Wang Jian greeted them with a warm smile, extending his
hand toward Jake first. "Jake! Good to see you, man," he said, his tone friendly but with a subtle undertone of something more. "And you must be Jessica," he added, turning his attention to her. "Jake's told me a lot about you."
Jake, caught up in the spirit of the party, didn't seem to notice anything unusual in Wang
Jian's tone. He laughed and shook Wang Jian's hand. "Wang! Glad you could make it, bro. Yeah, this is Jessica. Jess, this is Wang, one of the exchange students I told you about."
Jessica smiled politely and shook Wang Jian's hand. Her grip was firm, her eyes meeting his without flinching. "Nice to meet you, Wang. Jake has mentioned you once or twice," she said, her voice smooth and confident.
"All good things, I hope," Wang Jian replied, his smile widening as he held her gaze for a moment longer than necessary. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Jessica. You have quite an entrance-I think half the party stopped when you walked in."
Jessica chuckled softly, clearly used to such compliments. "Thank you. I like to make an impression," she replied, her tone light but with a hint of pride.
As the conversation flowed, Wang Jian carefully observed Jessica's mannerisms, her way of speaking, and the way she interacted with Jake. It didn't take him long to analyze her personality. She was confident, used to being the center of attention, and clearly enjoyed the power her beauty and presence afforded her. But there was something more-an undercurrent of restlessness, perhaps a desire for something beyond what she had. Wang Jian could sense it in the way her eyes flickered around the room, never fully settling on anything, always
searching.
He engaged both Jake and Jessica in conversation, making sure to keep the atmosphere light
and humorous. His wit and charm drew laughs from both of them, and even Emily seemed to be enjoying herself, although she still kept a close eye on her boyfriend.
