After Liuli left, you sat alone in the car, cradling your head in your hands, and lifted your eyes to the full moon already hanging high.
The First Emperor’s Mausoleum, oh, the First Emperor’s Mausoleum!
You let out a long sigh and then a lant.
Dealing with just a Jiu Xianmin was headache enough, but when you ntioned the Soul Lock, Uncle Yang’s first reaction was, "Li Family boy, are you planning to resurrect an ancient Demon God!?"
Despite Uncle Yang’s repeated questioning, you didn’t reveal any specific information. In the end, just before Uncle Yang chased you out, he added one more thing, "If Jiu Xianmin could still be considered a matter of the Human World, then the Soul Lock has completely transcended that category. While I don’t know what you are planning to do, as an elder, I feel it’s my duty to warn you. Whatever it is you want to do, make sure you’re prepared with ’toilet paper’ for the aftermath!"
Uncle Yang had never spoken to you with such a serious tone before, and it left you deep in thought, especially about Zhao’er’s true identity.
After much deliberation, you decided to fulfill your promise to Grandma ng first, and then ask her for a bowl of Grandma ng Soup.
Hmm, two Ghost Kings, one nad Hongyuan, and the other, Hei Kui.
Hongyuan, by the na, should be a female, and Hei Kui, of course, a male.
You rembered Grandma ng ntioned that Hongyuan is skilled at using Illusion Techniques and Enchantnts to absorb the vital essence of infatuated n and won.
Thinking of this, you couldn’t help but take out your phone and call Lei Jianhua’s number.
After a series of pleasant ring tones, the voice of Lei Jianhua ca from the receiver, "President, what’s the matter, contacting so late?"
"Jian Hua, how wide is the range of your Order Barrier now?"
After a mont of silence, the other side replied, "Under normal circumstances, about two kiloters or so, the limit is roughly three kiloters."
"Three kiloters... Hmm, not enough," you thought for a mont and said, "How about this, I’ll have Madman and the others set up a Two Days Heaven Bagua Array, and prepare a Spirit Gathering Pill for you. We need to make sure your Order Barrier covers the entire Yuhang City."
Without much thought, Lei Jianhua readily agreed, "Okay!"
Three days later, at Guihua Cafe.
Yu Xiaoi: "Brother Kai, are we still playing tonight?"
Yang Kai: "Your skills are too basic, I’m afraid you’ll be begging for rcy after just a few moves!"
Yu Xiaoi raised her pretty eyebrows disdainfully, "Pfft, from start to finish, you have just those few moves. If I have to say, only that ’direct hit to the center’ move is sowhat decent."
Yang Kai chuckled slyly, "Humph, my ’horse moves to the sun’ is pretty fierce too, right?"
Zong Wangyue just happened to walk in with Ji Tui. Hearing their conversation, he couldn’t help but sigh, "I an, under this bright light and modern lamps, you two are talking about ’direct hits to the dragon’s lair’ and ’horse moves to the sun,’ aren’t you being a bit too risque? Kai Zi, aren’t you afraid Nie Ying will have you kneeling on a washing board?"
Before Yang Kai could reply, Yu Xiaoi rolled her eyes and retorted, "Zongzi, the one with dirty thoughts must be you, we were talking about Chinese chess!"
"Dang, you turn even Chinese chess into sothing like an affair, I bet only you two could do that."
Saying so, Zong Wangyue sat down with Ji Tui, and a waiter approached with a smile, "What would you like to have?"
Zong Wangyue looked at Ji Tui and patted his chest, saying, "Brother Chicken Leg, eat your fill, I’m treating."
"I’m not hungry, just a coffee and a dessert will do."
Zong Wangyue ordered a huge pile of food. After the waiter left, Yang Kai plunked himself down next to Zong Wangyue and grinned at Ji Tui, "Brother Ji Tui, by the looks of it, you seem to have been dumped again. Co on, tell us why she dumped you, let’s all have a good laugh."
"Get lost!"
Zong Wangyue made a show of kicking at Yang Kai, who, licking his face, moved seats and looped an arm around Ji Tui’s shoulder, "Ah, a breakup is just a breakup, there are plenty of good girls out there, you’ll eventually find one who truly loves you."
Ji Tui dressed simply, and those who knew him were aware that, apart from a photo of his girlfriend, his wallet only contained the school dining card.
In many people’s eyes, Ji Tui was the epito of frugality because the total sum of money in his wallet never exceeded one hundred yuan.
And it was precisely because of this that Ji Tui had yet to find a girlfriend.
Yu Xiaoi sat boldly beside Zong Wangyue, picked up the freshly served fried ice cream, and started eating it by herself, "Chicken Leg, not to criticize you, but with the way you are right now, you should focus on your studies, get a good job after you graduate, and then think about relationships."
Ji Tui, very distressed, ruffled his own hair and said, "You don’t get it, I’m not broke, it’s just that..."
"Alright, we all know, you’re frugal, that’s it. You are indeed the most frugal person I’ve ever t."
Upon hearing this, Yang Kai imdiately objected, "Hey, hey, sister, I take exception to that. When it cos to being frugal, who can match ?"
Zong Wangyue took a delicate sip of his coffee, displaying a mysterious smile, "Kai Zi, have you ever washed a condom?"
Yang Kai, Yu Xiaoi, and Ji Tui were taken aback, and all three gave Zong Wangyue a thumbs-up simultaneously.
"Cough cough, that person certainly isn’t , but a friend of mine," said Zong Wangyue, his smile becoming even more splendid, "Speaking of which, that guy is quite similar to Chicken Leg. While his family isn’t quite an aristocratic clan, it holds so influence locally, and they control two conglorates; he’s sothing like the son of a prestigious family."
Zong Wangyue continued, "Logically speaking, a guy like him should be driving sports cars, wearing brand nas, dating beauties, and splurging money using the funds provided by his family. But the opposite is true; he never spends his own money on eating, drinking, or dating. No matter what he does, he is a penny pincher, and that stunt of washing condoms was his own invention."
Yu Xiaoi caught the hint in his words and asked Zong Wangyue, "Zongzi, you say Chicken Leg is similar to this person, in what way are they similar?"
"You don’t know? Even though Chicken Leg never carries more than one hundred RMB in his pocket, he’s a bona fide rich second-generation, and his family assets are worth tens of billions."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoi’s pupils imdiately sparkled with brilliance as she looked at Ji Tui.
Yang Kai dug his ear, flicking the earwax and blowing on it, "Who are you dreaming about, if Brother Chicken Leg was really a rich second-generation, would he be dumped like a stray dog by those gold-diggers?"
"Exactly, these days, what kind of girlfriend can you get without spending money? Chicken Leg is notoriously scrimpy in our school." Yu Xiaoi said, looking at Ji Tui, "Anyone who knows the na Ji Tui is aware that the money in his pocket never surpasses one hundred RMB."
"There’s nothing I can do about it, who lets Ji Tui suffer from a strange affliction."
Yang Kai and Yu Xiaoi exchanged glances, both asking simultaneously, "What affliction?"
Zong Wangyue shrugged his shoulders, "Fear of spending money."
