Chapter 138
What’s wrong with not being able to recover health automatically? What’s wrong with the healing effects being compromised? She could still take down her enemies before she dies.
What truly tormented Liang Yuchuan was her inability to wield her own power. She possessed an S-rank talent and top-notch combat awareness, yet she couldn’t put them to use.
Tu Lan nibbled on a baked pancake and asked, “So, is that your enemy?”
Yu Xunge replied, “Yeah, all the injuries on her are from me. Do you think she’ll find me too cruel?”
Tu Lan said, “Of course not. If you’re not cruel enough to your enemies, you’re just being cruel to yourself.”
Yu Xunge felt a surge of good spirits; she knew Tu Lan wouldn’t let her down. She twitched her cat whiskers, “It’s just a bit troublesome. Once she finds a chance to heal, I’ll have to come up with new ways to get my revenge.”
Tu Lan innocently and cruelly remarked, “That’s great! There’s always something to play with.”
Yu Xunge sighed with a smile, “Right? It’s so boring if you just squash them all at once…”
She sat quietly on the rooftop wall, admiring her handiwork. A few minutes later, she spotted Liang Jing and a beautiful woman she had never seen before.
This woman must be Liang Sha, completely different from what Yu Xunge had imagined.
Liang Sha sat by the bed, gazing tenderly at Liang Yuchuan until Liang Yuchuan finally stopped pretending to be asleep.
After saying something, she pulled out a few bullet casings.
In the next moment, Yu Xunge felt someone probing her fate. Through layers of mist, she saw Liang Sha’s delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Yu Xunge’s tail flicked joyfully in the air. After catching a glimpse of Liang Yuchuan’s breakdown and tears upon realizing the divination had failed, she turned to Tu Lan and said, “Let’s go. Didn’t you say you wanted to eat hot pot? We’ll go today, and after we’re done, we’ll head back.”
Tu Lan asked, “Oh, can you book an entire hot pot restaurant just for me?”
Yu Xunge replied, “...What nonsense has Yi Qiuguo been recommending to you now?”
Tu Lan sighed, “I know you don’t want to, I get it. I was being too demanding.”
Yu Xunge glanced at the time; it was 1 PM, just around mealtime. “Booking an entire restaurant isn’t possible; everyone’s eating. We can’t just kick others out.”
Suddenly, a cloud appeared beside her, and the next second, the center of the cloud caved in as if something had smashed into it. “Can’t you just throw money at them and buy the place?”
Yu Xunge: “…………” What a little tyrant!
She stopped and pulled out her phone from her game backpack, tapping the screen with her cat paw in front of Tu Lan, starting to message Yi Qiuguo.
[Yu Xunge]: No more teaching Tu Lan all that random stuff!
[Yi Qiuguo]: Sigh, Mom is getting old, and the baby is starting to dislike her… Even though I don’t know what I did wrong, I’m sorry…
[Yu Xunge]: ………………
Yu Xunge expressionlessly put her phone away and said to Tu Lan, “She’s my enemy, so you can’t play with her!”
Tu Lan replied, “Okay.” She lay back on the cloud and obediently deleted Yi Qiuguo from her contacts.
To her, all Blue Star people and other races were the same; only those who could defeat her one-on-one with strength were worth remembering.
Yu Xunge had initially felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment over her childish request, but when Tu Lan deleted Yi Qiuguo without hesitation, her feelings became a bit complicated…
It felt oddly like being spoiled by a dragon.
At that moment, the dragon and cat had left the hospital and jumped onto the rooftop of a shopping mall, where a massive billboard shielded them from the blazing sun.
She raised her cat paw and silently grabbed the phone floating in the air, opened her payment app, and linked her bank card—after all, 50% of the stores were still willing to accept cash, albeit at prices several times higher than before.
Then she pulled out a hundred gold coins and stacked them into a small mountain as tall as her cat leg on the steps. Yu Xunge pushed the coins toward Tu Lan, “Here, pocket money.”
Tu Lan became visible again, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Yu Xunge. “Do I get this every month?” Her gold coins had all been taken by her mom when she arrived on Blue Star, supposedly for safekeeping on Dragon Island.
Thinking about the money she had earned selling dragon dung this past month, Yu Xunge felt a bit guilty. “Ahem, you get this every month. You can order whatever you want online, and they’ll send it to me through the game…”
“~~?Gold~coins~more more~more more~more more~~”
Tu Lan turned invisible again, her childish song echoing as the cloud swirled around Yu Xunge.
Yu Xunge knew she couldn’t book an entire hot pot restaurant for Tu Lan, but reserving a private room was definitely doable. As soon as she stepped into the restaurant, she was recognized, but everyone was quite restrained and polite. It wasn’t until the manager led her upstairs that the whispers began.
As she walked up the stairs, she could clearly hear the chatter from the lobby behind her.
“Li Jian…”
“...Tu Lan.”
“Three leaderboards…”
“…Li Jian…”
“Lucky… talent…”
“Official website…”
“Li Jian…”
Yu Xunge: ………I said Li Jian!
During the meal, news of what had happened at the Liang family last night finally spread.
Not to mention the guests who had visited the Liang family, just the fact that Liang Yuchuan had been airlifted to the hospital was enough to raise eyebrows.
The Liang family wasn’t without private doctors, but after the game invasion, many medical items that could be used for treatment had been sent to hospitals by the Special Affairs Bureau. Not to mention, Liang Yuchuan needed specialized surgery.
Although there wasn’t a guild leaderboard yet, the movements of various factions were significant, and netizens were analyzing the situation with great interest. The Liang family was said to rank among the top three in S City.
Rumors even suggested that the Liang family possessed an S-rank divine talent.
Adding to that were suspicions that the Liang family had obtained legendary or even epic equipment from the Minotaur prince, as well as the ancestral statue of the Liang family still listed in the auction house. The Liang family could be considered a minor top-tier force in S City, almost as popular as 0.2 Yu Xunge.
As soon as a post mentioned the Liang family, it would spark a flurry of discussion.
Even Yu Xunhuan came to ask Yu Xunge.
[Yu Xunhuan]: Did you hear anything last night?
[Yu Xunge]: I did, but I didn’t join in. I was afraid of being misunderstood.
[Yu Xunhuan]: Sis~ if you find any clues, you have to gossip with me!
Yu Xunge understood Yu Xunhuan’s intentions; this wasn’t gossip, but rather, Su Yitong was starting to feel scared, wasn’t she?
—That “common enemy of the Liang and Su families” had reappeared.
**Chapter 178: I Will Remember This Truth**
Su Yitong was indeed scared. She couldn’t even wait until tomorrow night; she was currently rushing to the hospital. She wanted to know Liang Yuchuan’s condition and whether the Liang family had obtained any valuable information…
Liang Sha didn’t hide anything and told her everything.
For Su Yitong, Liang Yuchuan becoming a half-wreck wasn’t exactly good news.
Faced with a powerful and mysterious enemy, Su Yitong didn’t mind temporarily setting aside her hatred to ally with Liang Yuchuan, but now Liang Yuchuan had become a half-wreck…
Moreover, judging by how that person treated Liang Yuchuan, she was starting to suspect whether the incident where her second ear had been blown off was part of the enemy’s scheme.
But it was too late to know; the friction between the Liang and Su families had increased, and many subordinates had died, creating a grudge. At this point, the leader couldn’t just call for a halt without giving an explanation.
Furthermore, the Su family had acted against the Liang family to “comfort” Su Yitong, so she couldn’t possibly come out now to explain that it was a misunderstanding.
Liang Sha also gave Su Yitong a piece of information: two people had come last night, both with disguise skills. One could turn into a shadow and disappeared through the wall, while the other shot bullets that could track and even curve.
Liang Sha focused on detailing the skills, infiltration methods, and tactics of those two mysterious individuals.
She even mentioned their names, knowing full well they were fake names specifically disguised for the Liang family. However, often, seemingly trivial information could be crucial for others.
By the time Su Yitong left the hospital after signing the game contract, Liang Sha picked up the contract and smiled, savoring the transaction details word by word.
Liang Jing poured two glasses of wine, conjured two ice balls, and dropped one into each glass, placing one in front of Liang Sha. “You really called it… Sis, according to your theory, she’s really going to take action against Su Langfeng and Su Baibo?”
Liang Sha replied, “Of course. No one wants to be threatened forever. Rather than being constantly threatened, it’s better to turn one person’s problem into a collective issue. By then, she might not even need to act; Su Langfeng and Su Baibo will be more anxious than she is.”
Liang Jing said, “But for Su Yitong, doesn’t that mean we’ll have more leverage over her? Su Langfeng might not find out who harmed him, but we will, right?”
Liang Sha replied, “That depends on whether she can get the Jiao Long.”
If Su Yitong rises, the Liang family will become her best ally.
