Three hours later!
The three of them lay side by side on the bed, limp as rags, their little feet dangling off the edge and swinging gently!
Zhong Yingxue: (ૢ⁼̴̤̆ᗜ⁼̴̤̆ૢ) Ahhh~
Xia Yao: (ˊo̴̶̷̤﹃o̴̶̷̤ˋ) Ahhh~
Mira: (๑¯ヮ¯๑) Ahhh~
From the expressions on their faces right now, they had completely transformed into citizens of the Planet Dame!
So this is what ascending to heaven feels like!
Little Nan’s hands-on skills were simply phenomenal, okay?
Yet at this very moment, Nightingale was still having her little feet kneaded non-stop by Jiangnan!
Jiangnan: “Am I good? Am I handsome?”
Nightingale: “Brother Nan! You’re so good~”
“Am I awesome?”
“You’re super awesome~”
“You’re not gonna chop me up any more?”
“No chopping, no chopping!”
“Then if someone bullies me in future, what’ll you do?”
“Who dares bully my Brother Nan? I’ll fight them to the death, chop them up!”
Jiangnan let out a long breath of relief! Done!
See that? See that?
Learn from this!
As a man!
You absolutely have to master some practical skills!
This is the true way to get by in the world!
“Wahhh~ I’m so touched! Nobody has ever been this good to me before! Even giving me a foot massage!”
As she spoke, Nightingale moved herself to tears!
As for the fact that she had been sprinting wildly outside for over three hours, she had already tossed it to the back of her mind!
“Hey! We’re brothers! It’s what I should do!”
“What’s there to cry about? Real men don’t cry easily!”
“Look at you! Crying like a girl!”
[Resentment from Nightingale +1000!]
“I’ve changed my mind! I’m still gonna chop you up!”
Jiangnan: ???
You can’t do this to me!
All that foot rubbing for nothing?
One second we’re back before Pangu opened the heavens?
Nightingale felt bitter inside!
But at least she had made progress!
No matter what!
In Jiangnan’s eyes, she now counted as “like a girl”!
Just one character away from actually being a girl!
Having sorted Nightingale, Jiangnan looked at the three collapsed on the bed and rolled his eyes!
He carried them one by one back to their rooms!
Only now did Jiangnan finally have time to check the profits from tonight’s stall!
1.3 million resentment points!
Total earnings from this session: over 39 million!
After the system’s 0.99/0.01 split, he was left with 390,000!
Stall fees converted into skill points: 386,100!
Adding the 410,000 he had left from Yulong Spirit Ruins that he barely touched!
Minus the 110,000-plus he had just spent!
Skill points remaining: 683,000!
Jiangnan planned to save up to 1 million, then push one skill straight to Grandmaster level!
After all, Grandmaster-level blade work was genuinely terrifying!
“Hmm~ Should I max out the foot massage skill?”
“The brick-smashing skill also has potential! Ugh~ So annoying! Why am I just so amazing!”
Nightingale, meanwhile, was curled up obediently under her blanket!
Hugging her little feet, lost in thought!
Just then, a WeChat message arrived!
It was from Victoria!
Her profile picture was a bikini selfie!
Blue sea and sky on the beach, Victoria raising a glass of red wine!
Her nickname: Nicole!
Nicole: At the hotel. It’s only been a few hours and I already miss you~ What should I do?
Nan Shen: Use lotus root!
Nicole: ???
Lotus root?
What the heck is lotus root?
So she searched online, stared at the pictures, and zoned out!
A full three minutes later, Victoria suddenly realised what Jiangnan meant!
“Pah!”
[Resentment from Victoria Sasha +1000!]
She ground her teeth in hatred!
But remembering the Lord’s instructions, she held it in!
The higher-ups wanted her to establish cooperation with Jiangnan by any means possible!
Under necessary circumstances, unconventional methods were allowed, but she must not cross the line!
The best outcome would naturally be recruiting Jiangnan into the Radiant Society!
Although Jiangnan had performed brilliantly, she didn’t think he was worth the society spending so much effort to win over!
He was just a little Silver, after all!
After thinking for ages, a smirk curled Victoria’s lips!
Humph! I refuse to believe you won’t take the bait!
Nicole: (15-second video)
Nicole: Want to know my little secret?
Jiangnan frowned. Why send a short video?
He clicked it anyway!
In the video, Victoria wore a wine-red sheer nightgown, her brown hair still damp!
Pacing around the presidential suite, showing off her perfect figure in full!
Then she threw herself onto the bed, the camera angle changed!
Victoria’s lips curved into a smirk, her red lips parted slightly!
She held a spirit bead between her teeth and gave Jiangnan a playful wink!
Jiangnan: !!!
This… who the hell could resist this!
Little secret?
I don’t just want your little secret!
I’m even more interested in the secrets of the organisation behind you!
Nan Shen: Tomorrow… come to my place?
Victoria let out a light laugh. “Heh~ Men!”
Nicole: Sure, I’ll do whatever you say!
Nan Shen: I’ll treat you to dinner and drinks. I’m very interested in long-term cooperation!
Looks like you lot can provide what I want!
Victoria stared at Jiangnan’s messages, her eyes lighting up!
Was Jiangnan really this cooperative?
Heavens! Was this mission going to be this smooth?
If she pulled this off, the Lord would definitely reward her when she got back!
Nicole: I believe this will be a very pleasant cooperation!
Nan Shen: Absolutely. Tomorrow, remember to bring the spirit bead straight over. We can trade face-to-face and save the hassle!
Victoria held the sparkling spirit bead, her cheeks slightly flushed!
Nicole: Mmm~
Jiangnan licked his lips in excitement!
Meow meow meow!
Finally lured her over!
So he bounced over to Nightingale’s bed!
Gently poked her shoulder, face completely serious!
“Brother! Tomorrow someone’s coming to kill me!”
Nightingale glared. “Who wants to kill you? I’ll help you chop them up!”
Jiangnan: “Yeah, yeah! Chop her up, chop her up! She says she’s coming for dinner tomorrow, but actually she’s here to murder me! Super evil, I’m telling you!”
Nightingale frowned delicately. “What’s the situation?”
Jiangnan grinned. “Don’t worry! I already have a mature plan! Want to hear it?”
“Mm! I’ll listen to you!”
Jiangnan was so touched inside!
All that foot rubbing wasn’t wasted!
He leaned in and whispered in Nightingale’s ear: “Tomorrow the two of us will just qiumi qiumi qiumi~ qiumi~”
Nightingale’s ear tickled from his breath, her heart racing!
She said shyly, “W-will this really work?”
Jiangnan thumped his chest. “Don’t you trust me?”
Nightingale: “I don’t!”
Jiangnan: …
“Trust Nan Shen! It’s totally solid! Tomorrow I’ll show her who’s boss!”
With Nightingale sorted!
Early next morning, Jiangnan rushed into Xia Yao’s room!
The big wolf queen was sleeping in her usual heart-wrenching pose!
Jiangnan yanked open the curtains. “Late sleeper! The sun’s already toasting your bum!”
Xia Yao rubbed her sleepy eyes. “Just a little longer, it’s warm! Why are you up so early?”
Jiangnan gave a little cough. “Well~ today you stay home and hold the fort! I’m taking Xuexue and Mira out for a bit!”
Xia Yao: ???
Her ears shot up, her face full of suspicion!
“Where to? Why not take me?”
As she spoke, she spotted the corner of a ticket poking out of Jiangnan’s pocket!
Jiangnan tried to cover it!
Xia Yao: “Silver Shadow!”
Her body shot forward like lightning and snatched the tickets from his pocket!
They were VIP Super Invincible Ultimate tickets to Beishan Ski Resort!
Complete with skin-whitening hot springs!
“Skiing? Hot springs? Take me, take me! I wanna go too!”
Jiangnan wiped his nose. “But I only have three tickets…”
Xia Yao scratched her head, then gave an evil grin. “Then me, Xuexue, and Mira will go! Without you! Nyaa~”
Jiangnan gnashed his teeth. “In your dreams!”
Xia Yao: “Haha! The tickets are in my hands now, so what you say doesn’t count!”
She threw on clothes and bolted out the door. “Xuexue! Mira! We’re going skiing! Get dressed quick!”
Jiangnan waved frantically. “Hey, hey, hey~ Don’t…”
In reality!
Jiangnan: (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
The longest road you’ve ever walked!
Is probably just my little scheme!
Don’t come back! Don’t come back all day!
Your bro has big business to take care of!
(Author’s note: There’s a Gift King competition going on. I checked the leaderboard and I really think we have a shot at top ten!
So Qingfeng wants to ask everyone for gifts. I hope all you little partners can support me as much as you can, because this event really means a lot to me!
I also hope this event brings more little partners into the Dali family so we can all be happy together every day!
Lately my health hasn’t been great, so I can’t promise how many extra chapters, but I can promise that, while keeping quality high, I’ll update as much as possible and give it everything to rush the rankings!
Little partners, give me a boost! I want top ten!
The acting-cute, rolling-around, crying type of begging!)
(ʃƪ˘³˘)
Thank you everyone! Mwah!
