Ah Kun heard Bai Jinghong’s muttering and was puzzled. “Young Master, what are you talking about?”
Bai Jinghong waved his hand dismissively. “Nothing!”
Naturally, Bai Jinghong wouldn’t discuss such matters.
But in his heart, he had already roughly pieced it together.
If it was as he thought, that Ye Chen had definitely learned a whole set of skills in that so-called Black Prison.
Perhaps some old charlatan even gave him a fortuitous encounter, making him inherit some power or influence.
After all, that was how the clichés went.
He had thought he could finally have some peace and relax for a while.
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianming’s fate was still unknown, and now there was a high probability of the next protagonist appearing.
And precisely targeted at him.
Just killed one War God, and now a Dragon King in Prison appears. What utter bullshit!
If things developed this way…
Would there be a “Divine Doctor Descending the Mountain, carrying five marriage certificates into the world” next? Or “Tiger Marshal Hall Master whose seven sisters are devastatingly beautiful?”
Or maybe “The Abandoned Young Master’s Rise?” “The Invincible Asura Son-in-Law?”
“What the hell is all this!” Bai Jinghong complained.
Bai Jinghong even wanted to say, “My life has been like walking on thin ice…”
[Ding, Congratulations to Host for killing the Protagonist Chen Lin!]
[Face-Slapping Assistance System upgrading…]
[10%……40%……80%……100%, System upgrade successful. Face-Slapping Offensive System is now activated!]
[Host killed a Child of Fortune. Exchange Points +1000. The current primary limit for Exchange Points is 1000. Host, please spend them quickly, otherwise no more can be accumulated.]
The sudden sound of the System immediately swept away Bai Jinghong’s previous gloom.
“Woohoo, finally upgraded. Now we can have some real fun!”
With a thought from Bai Jinghong, something like a shop interface directly appeared before his eyes.
It was filled with a dazzling array of items, many of them quite bizarre.
There was also a panel at the side.
[Host: Bai Jinghong!]
[Cultivation: Profound Level – Late Stage]
[Wealth: ……]
[Skills: Nirvana Medical Scripture, Voice Control, Soul Capturing Eye, Copy Ring, Multi-Billion Fortune]
[Title: Legacy of Wei Wu Level 3]
[Martial Techniques: None……]
[Confidants: Ah Kun, Duan Fei, Vajra, Iron Tower, Volcano…….]
[Women: Qin Chuchu, Shen Yaoyao, Zi Yue, Yan Man, Xu Sixin, Jiang Yueying. (Backup: Ye Qingke)]
[Maids: Fan Ning’er, Zhang Xiaoya (Whether to upgrade to women status depends entirely on the Host’s will)]
“Hmm? When did Jiang Yueying become my woman? Isn’t she just a childhood sweetheart? She hasn’t even come back yet, and I haven’t pursued her either!”
[Ding, those whose status is finalized will be automatically updated. If there is disloyalty or betrayal, the name will be automatically removed]
[Host can use the panel for observation]
Bai Jinghong’s eyes lit up. In that case, wasn’t this essentially a loyalty leaderboard?
If any of his confidants or women betrayed him, their names would be cleared from the panel. Then he could act to truly eliminate them.
[Due to the System upgrading to the Offensive System, an additional entry has been added…]
[Current Opposing Protagonist: Return of the War God, Death God Gu Tianming!]
[Chen Lin is dead. System automatically updating new protagonist plotline…]
Bai Jinghong snorted coldly. As expected, Gu Tianming wasn’t dead!
That bastard was truly tough-lived.
He had been thinking too simply.
The Hell Organization still existed. As its leader, Gu Tianming wouldn’t die so easily.
Surviving a hopeless situation was a protagonist’s basic operation.
And there were still the Four Golden Flowers of the Hell Organization. He had only collected two; two remained.
Then, the storyline regarding Gu Tianming appeared in Bai Jinghong’s mind.
But now, Gu Tianming’s plotline was useless to Bai Jinghong.
It was all changed. What Gu Tianming had to do now was definitely seek revenge against him.
“Doesn’t matter jack shit!” Bai Jinghong didn’t take it seriously at all!
Duo Duo was in his hands; he didn’t believe Gu Tianming would stay hidden.
Bai Jinghong glanced once more at the tombstone. He couldn’t be bothered to think about the next protagonist or anything like that.
Anyway, whoever came would die. No difference.
His subordinates would handle the cleanup here. Bai Jinghong headed directly toward the mountain path down.
Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue were waiting there.
Seeing Bai Jinghong approach, they immediately went up to him.
“Jinghong, are you alright?” Zi Yue asked.
“What could have happened to me? It’s just that bastard Gu Tianming got away.” Bai Jinghong frowned.
“Got away?” Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue both looked incredulous. “Jumping from this height, how could he possibly survive!”
“Yeah, and there are many submerged reefs below. If he hit them, he’d be turned to mincemeat!”
Bai Jinghong naturally couldn’t say it was an indication from the System.
“Believe me, he’s still alive!” Bai Jinghong looked at Shen Yaoyao. “Yaoyao, Duan Fei should be bringing those people back tomorrow. I’ll hand them all over to you for disposal.”
“As for Gu Tianming, leave him to me!” A fierce glint flashed in Bai Jinghong’s eyes.
Gu Tianming’s matter had left him very displeased. He had to personally twist his neck to vent his anger.
Shen Yaoyao naturally had no objections. If not for Bai Jinghong, she’d still be kept in the dark.
Bai Jinghong took Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue down the mountain, heading toward the city center.
The entire way, Bai Jinghong was pondering how to lure Gu Tianming out.
Besides Duo Duo’s side, Bai Jinghong locked his sights on the Underworld Win Group.
If Gu Tianming returned, there was a high chance he’d go to the Underworld Win Group.
Chen Lin was dead, so he could legitimately take over the entire Hell Organization. Impermanence would naturally obey his orders.
Not only that, all those other figures—Soul Snatcher, Fierce Ghost, this ghost, that ghost—they would likely make moves too.
And then there were the other two Golden Flowers Bai Jinghong was coveting.
The Four Golden Flowers of the Hell Organization, besides Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue, the other two were also exceptionally beautiful and capable, each with their own expertise.
Based on Bai Jinghong’s understanding from the storyline:
Poppy, real name Yun Qin, Mid Yellow Rank Warrior. She was the fucking demolition expert of the Hell Organization, an extremely dangerous existence.
Red Spider Lily, real name Luo Huairong, Yellow Rank – Late Stage Warrior. She was from the Miao Region. Her Gu Control Art was divinely skilled.
To capture these two, he absolutely couldn’t play by the rules.
He had to be careful, or the opponent might just pull a Speed-o’-Sound Sonic on him!
But Bai Jinghong wasn’t panicked at all.
Now that the system had upgraded to the Offensive System, it was filled with all kinds of things.
He still had the Copy Ring.
Copying the opponent’s ability meant mutual nullification.
It was like two students taught by the same teacher, neither able to defeat the other.
Bai Jinghong led Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue directly to the Bai Family Estate.
That night, Bai Jinghong didn’t do anything to the two women.
Mainly because he was genuinely a bit tired.
Zi Yue and Shen Yaoyao took one room.
Bai Jinghong went back to his own room alone and quickly fell asleep.
…
The next morning, Bai Jinghong got up yawning.
Not because he’d slept enough, but because his old mom, Ji Qiuwan, woke him up.
After a simple wash, Bai Jinghong went downstairs.
From the staircase, he could see four people sitting in the villa’s living room.
Besides Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue, it was naturally Ji Qiuwan and Bai Ruoxi.
“What are you all making such a racket about so early!”
Bai Jinghong complained impatiently.
The room instantly fell silent, the earlier laughter abruptly ceasing.
All four turned their heads in unison to look at Bai Jinghong.
Especially the looks from Ji Qiuwan and Bai Ruoxi made the corner of Bai Jinghong’s mouth twitch involuntarily.
“Uh… have you eaten yet?”
Ji Qiuwan rolled her eyes and said to Bai Jinghong, “Jinghong, come here. Mom has something to say to you.”
Bai Jinghong really didn’t want to go over there.
So early in the morning, what could she have to say? It was surely just finding something to scold him about again.
But now wasn’t a good time to run either.
Bai Jinghong slowly shuffled closer. When he got near, he discovered several small boxes laid out on the table.
And Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue were each already wearing a very beautiful jade bracelet.
“Mom, are you giving out gifts early in the morning?”
Bai Jinghong picked up one of the unclaimed boxes and looked at it. It was indeed a very precious jade bracelet.
“Go on, this isn’t for you. It’s for my daughters-in-law.”
“The one you’re holding, give it to Chuchu. Bring Chuchu back tonight too. We’ll all have dinner together!”
Bai Jinghong genuinely wanted to laugh. So giving these bracelets was a daughter-in-law certification.
