Episode 1 Prologue



Help me, help me, please help me.

My name is Kubo Tamotsu. 34 years old. This is a toilet room. And my situation is bad. Seriously bad.

I am a programmer. A so-called IT warrior. And my work is not easy. ⌈1

When you manage to show some ability, you will be asked to take on a number of projects, each project with its respective deadline. We are never able to finish the project relying on the schedule (although it seems doable at the first glance), we are repeatedly working overtime and overnight to finish the work. It’s such an industry.

Today I am also suffering from a certain Daruma project. The phone on my desk rings nonstop. ⌈2

「Kubo-san, I am at my limit. Please let me quit」

Does he want to retire by just calling me once? Although he thought as such, this unexpectedly happened a lot. But right now the situation is different. The deadline for this project is tomorrow, and the person on the other side of the phone is the main programmer. Without his assistance, we won’t be able to finish in time.

I don’t have a solution. First, I need to cool my head and think it through. Thinking about it, I entered the toilet and released a big sigh.

Why is this happening? What do I do? Relax. How long did I work without rest? When was the last time when I returned home regularly? I want to rest; I want to rest so much. I want to have a date with a girl. Weren’t they saying that IT industry is popular with women? I don’t understand. Aren’t all the girls looking at me with dead eyes? Just where did I go wrong? Someone, please help me, help me, help me.

Slowly, my consciousness drifts far away.



 


  1. People really call them IT warriors? 
  2. I don’t really understand the reference to daruma here, will be glad if someone can answer.

Chapter 221 – Sword of Ranga



A leg……

Xiao Chen and Oxman didn’t feel horrified, what they felt was only astonishment. In Xiao Chen’s imagination, since the burial cloth was trembling so fiercely, there should be an out of the ordinary artifact suppressed underneath, but… there was only a leg. A stone leg about the length of a thumb. There were no spiritual fluctuations nor the least bit of an extraordinary aura. It was unglamorous and mediocre. There was nothing special about it.

At the side, the naturally perceptive Black Dragon King also sheathed its holy sword. It looked at the stone leg on the ground with suspicion. It was puzzled, because just now it obviously had a palpitating heart, and yet, it couldn’t feel anything now.

Xiao Chen picked up the stone leg. He blew away the dust accumulated on the leg and carefully observed it. The workmanship was crude. They could see it had taken the form of a leg, but it was not very meticulous nor tastefully crafted.

The little fatty was very disappointed as he said, “From how I see this, these three ancient temples are extremely old. They might be Ksitigarbha’s meditation spots back in those days. If there is anything below the base, it should be an extraordinary item capable of quelling the entirety of the underworld. But this really make me speechless…”

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything. He put away the burial cloth and observed this stone leg quietly. He knew that this shouldn’t be an ordinary item. Wasn’t the Suiren Gimlet also like this when he found it? It looked mediocre to the extreme, but the golden divine halberd and jet-black metal engravings were unable to push the Suiren Gimlet out of his body.

“Let’s go, who knows it might be useful in the future.” Xiao Chen put away the stone leg and patted the little fatty’s shoulders.

In the following days, Xiao Chen and Oxman profoundly felt how complicated and disorderly the nether world was. Many magnificent palaces occupied god knows how many miles. Those palaces were so much more imposing compared to the castle of Emperor Jiang. It was easy to tell that the nether world had already become a training spot for these ominous spirits. There were no rules and regulations, this was a place where strength represented everything.

On the thirteenth day. In the lightless underworld, Xiao Chen’s party had arrived at a barren land after trodding over the blood-colored land. They avoided several territories of the ghost and a few dozen evil spirits on the way.

The underworld was boundless with no end in sight.

However, it was on that day, they discovered a gigantic peak. It directly pierced through the endless dark skies of the underworld. The soaring murderous aura was sharp and terrifying!

Although they were still very far away, Xiao Chen and Oxman could feel an obvious drop in temperature, it was as cold as the severe winter in the twelfth lunar month. The breath exhaled by them had already turned into white mist.

“Why do I feel as though there is a sharp weapon pointing directly at my throat, it feels hard to breathe.” Oxman was very bewildered.

Xiao Chen also felt it was extremely abnormal. He looked at the sky-piercing peak ahead and said, “Why do I have a feeling that it is a sword? A giant sword with sky piercing murderous aura!”

“Hmm, now that you mentioned it!” Oxman suddenly realized and said, “Let’s go and take a look. This underworld is refined by none other than ancestor god Suirenshi, he might have left behind some ancient divine artifacts in this place.”

Two men and one dragon slowly advanced towards the piercing killing intent. By the time they were three miles away from the hill, they could already see it clearly, that was a huge stone sword about three kilometers in height. It was standing perfectly straight on the blood-colored, barren land.

It was very hard to imagine how such a huge stone sword was carved. What made people especially baffled was that, the sword edge was just like that of a real sword, it was extremely sharp. Moreover, it possessed a soaring murderous aura. By the time they got within one mile, it was already very hard to get closer.

It was as if the murderous aura had transformed into real blades and were pointed horizontally at their necks. Their skin was cut and the pain was unbearable.

“How is this stone sword so tyrannical?” Oxman was very shocked.

Xiao Chen said with a heavy tone, “This might not necessarily be a stone sword, no matter how I look, it looks like a world-class sword!”

Oxman’s emotion was unstable. He pointed at the giant stone sword and said, “It looks like there’s handwriting on top of the huge sword…”

Only by reaching Historia’s Third Celestial Layer were they able to barely make out some of the characters in the dusky underworld.

“Let’s get closer to take a look.”

Unfortunately, they were unable to take another step when they were only half a mile away from the stone sword. The murderous aura released by the stone sword had completely materialized and formed an unbreakable domain of death.

Finally, the Black Dragon King had no choice but to unsheathe the dragon’s sacred sword. A brilliant divine light was floating above the two men and one dragon. With the help of the faint radiance, they were able to see three ancient characters on top of the stone sword: Sword of Ranga (诛仙剑). ⌈1

“My @#¥%……” Oxman immediately cried out with a foul word as he continued with a stuttering voice, “We really ran into a ‘big one’. I’m… not dreaming am I? This is actually the legendary… Sword of Ranga! Behind it… is none other than… the father of a living ancestor!”

Although Xiao Chen was from the mortal world, he had also heard of the four unique swords such as the Ranga or Matar. During the ancient war, god knows just how many deities had it slayed. Its vicious name had shaken the heaven and earth, it was unconditionally the foremost of the killing weapons.

“Oh @#%¥, is the owner of the sword also in the underworld?” Oxman felt a chill down his spine, his scalp a little numb, as he said with a trembling voice, “Once that individual start going wild… he couldn’t tell the differences between allies or foes! He even dared to… raise his sword against the ancestor gods… He’s the craziest man… in this whole wide world!”

The rays in the Black Dragon King’s eyes were incomparably sharp as battle intent welled up in its body. If not because it was still too powerless, it might have already manipulated the dragon’s sacred sword to test the power of the legendary Sword of Ranga.

Tongtian, a name even the deities deliberately abstain from!

He had once challenged the ancestor god Youchaoshi with the four Godslaying Swords; Ranga, Matar, Cinnte, and Gaiste. Although he escaped in the end, his bravery had shaken the heaven and earth.

Once angered, he would kill even the gods and demons! Those who died in his hands were innumerable. The four godslaying swords were refined by soaking them in divine blood. Just hearing the name Tongtian, all the deities would shudder in fear.

Later, Tongtian gradually lost his violent nature and no longer went wild. He started to accept disciples and passed his renowned techniques to the later generations. His disciples could be found throughout the world.

To the outsiders, Tongtian was a madman, to the disciples, he was a strict teacher and a merciful father. For his disciples, he had once charged into the spiritual mountain in anger and split the Buddha’s Twelve Grade Lotus in two. He had even waged war against Laozi. Under the condition when both were heavily injured, he cut off a strand of Laozi’s white beard with the Sword of Matar.

It could be said that Tongtian was one of the fiercest persons above the heaven and under the ground!

Little fatty Oxman was already feeling a little giddy. He said with stammering voice, “This ruthless person… why… did he come to the underworld, maybe he’s still… wandering around nearby?!”

Xiao Chen felt the significance of this Cypreus Furnace was all the more extraordinary on this day. Otherwise, how could Tongtian’s Ranga Sword be fixed in this place? After a careful observation, Xiao Chen thought for a while before he said, “Nobody should have touched this sword for at least a thousand years. Look, there are marks of tear and wear on the stone sword…”

“This is strange.” Oxman was puzzled, “This sword is directly pierced into the ground, as if it is being sealed. Then again, it feels as if it is sealing something else. It’s hard differentiate them.”

Just at this time, three items on Xiao Chen’s person were quivering. The burial cloth, Suiren Gimlet, and stone leg were reacting to something.

In the end, the mediocre-looking Suiren Gimlet actually emerged from Xiao Chen’s body and left behind an afterimage as if charged towards the giant stone sword.

There wasn’t any fluctuation nor divine aura. It looked like nothing more than a stone that could fly. They couldn’t find anything special about the gimlet, and it actually charged towards the sharp end of the Ranga Sword that was buried underground. Without making any sound, the Suiren Gimlet submerged into the blood-colored land.

Following closely, the three kilometer tall Ranga Sword actually started to tremble violently. The blood-colored earth was making a rumbling sound.

“Retreat, quickly!”

Xiao Chen unfolded the Undying Wings and pulled the little fatty along to the sky. The Black Dragon King transformed into a streak of black light and rushed towards a distant location. The sharp sword-qi behind them was spreading out like a volcanic eruption. The blazing light beams swept across ten directions. Thousand streak of rays illuminated the entire space in this region of the underworld.

The blood-colored earth was breaking up unceasingly, as if a landslide or tsunami had taken place. The sky was completely enveloped by the sword-qi!

If not because Xiao Chen’s party was fast enough to cover hundreds of miles in an instant, they might have already transform into dust. The earth around the Ranga Sword had already caved in and perished without a trace.

Cracks appeared on the three kilometer tall stone sword unceasingly. A large area of the stone fell off and exposed the real sword blade. The exceptionally sharp blade was as clear as a mirror! This was the true body of the sword.

Hundred miles away, Xiao Chen and Oxman looked at each other in dismay. The Sword of Ranga was indeed very frightening. It was easy to imagine just how powerful was this Tongtian person, for he was capable of controlling four swords like this.

“Is there a need to make so much ruckus upon breaking free? What are you mad about? It’s not like we hadn’t fought before. If we really pit ourselves against one another, it’s hard to say who would be the one to break.”

Xiao Chen was very shocked. He clearly heard the demonic voice of the Golden Halberd. The vicious halberd was startled awake by the Sword of Ranga. Xiao Chen looked at the little fatty Oxman and found that he didn’t hear the voice of the vicious halberd.

“We will meet again on the battlefield!” The Golden Halberd let out a final line of discontent before it fell into a slumber once again.

After the three kilometer tall Ranga Sword fissured the ground, it soared into the sky and transformed into a streak of light. It pierced through the space of the netherworld and disappeared.

On this very day, many practitioners could feel a great change in the Northwest border of the vast immortal’s mainland. Many experts could feel the sword-qi piercing through the skies.

Many people from the Beastmen and Jungle Tribe saw it with there own eyes when a streak of light burst forth from their sacred mountain. It caused the sun, the moon, and the stars to lose their splendor.

At the horizon, at a place nobody knew about, a huge isle was floating in the sky. It was full of life and filled with dense magic essence. The vast isle was like a floating continent.

The isle was full of vitality, the green trees were swaying gently in the wind. The beautiful flowers came in all shapes and colors. All kinds of luster and fragrance were drifting in the air.

The cranes were flying in the sky, the white apes were jumping from tree to tree, the old deers were chewing on the straws. There were even fairies dancing in the sky and gnomes refining drugs… It was truly a heavenly land.

An extremely handsome youth, wearing a bright clothing, was standing high above as he looked up at the blue dome of heaven. He burst into loud laughter as he stretched his right hand. A huge hand immediately covered up the heaven and earth as it stretched towards a distant location, enveloping that piece of space. The yellowish giant hand attempted to grab the Ranga Sword that was about to fly past. The three kilometer long giant sword was emitting countless rays of light that caused the millions and millions of starlight in the sky to lose their splendor. The sword was shaking unceasingly as it tried to break free from the yellowish giant hand.

However, no matter how much it struggled, even if it was emitting countless rays of light, it was unable to harm the giant hand in the slightest as it was firmly grabbed.

The giant hand grabbed the blade tightly. He was not afraid to be scratched by the sharpness of the blade. The giant hand pulled back to the floating isle quickly just like a huge dragon.

The Ranga Sword was received by the handsome youth who wore bright clothing just like this. In the end, he grabbed the sword blade with all his might as millions of light rushed into the body of the sword. The Ranga Sword was no longer struggling as it slowly calm down. After that, it began to shrink in size.

The giant hand was also shrinking in size until it returned to its original size. The Range Sword in his palm was now about one meter long.

“Congratulation to esteemed master for retrieving the Ranga Sword!” Three beautiful girls were saluting the bright clothed youth.

The handsome bright-clothed youth nodded noiselessly as he lightly flicked the Ranga Sword. The clear ringing sound reverberated like that of a dragon’s cry. The Ranga Sword transformed into a light beam and submerged into his body.

At the same time, the eyes of the handsome youth became incredibly deep. At this moment, it was as if his body had transformed into the blue dome of heaven itself. He looked down at the world disdainfully as he swept his eyes over the endless sky. A sharp battle intent immediately engulfed all ten directions.

“It is about time that I, Skybound Tongtian, send my disciples to the outside world…”

Within the Cypreus Furnace; when the smoke and dust finally dispersed, the little fatty Oxman was dumbstruck. That was because the blood-colored earth was completely deformed. It was as if the doomsday catastrophe had just taken place.

Nobody knew when the Suiren Gimlet had flew back, it was lying on the ground just under Xiao Chen’s foot. And there was a stone leg beside it. The stone leg should have the same origin as the one they found in the ancient shrine. They looked symmetrical and made up the left and right legs.

Oxman was so shocked that his jaws literally dropped, then he said, “For such a great disturbance to occur and it was only for a small stone leg? Was it sealed by the Ranga Sword? No, it sealed the Ranga Sword?!”

Xiao Chen calmly put the two stone legs together. With a “ting”, the two stone legs actually glued together like magnets and made up the lower body. Apart from this, it was still as ordinary as before. There’s nothing special about it. However, Xiao Chen kept it with him like a treasure.

Chapter 111 – Thunder on a Sunny Day



Chen Weier’s parents already found out about Zhao Yanyan’s matter. Although they were very angry at the start, they came around and thought that it wasn’t a big deal. At least their daughter was happy now and was in a better spot than being married to that Yu Gang. After Chen Tianlei’s guidance about how the upper class was like that, they also calmed down.

What made them happy was that the “real girlfriend” did not shun their daughter. Instead, their relationship was like that of sisters. This was the most important. What does a title count as. What’s more, their daughter was not an existence like other mistresses or concubines, she was recognized by both of their parents, even if they can’t get the marriage certificate in the future, they would be able to have lots of descendants.

Liu Yue and I decided on the fifth day of Chinese New Year to visit her grandfather, Liu Zhenhai. Although I was unwilling, I still had to face it eventually. I always had a conflicted feeling about Liu Zhenhai in my heart, causing me to be very uncomfortable.

On the night of the fourth day of Chinese New Year, my dad walked over with a serious expression while I was chatting with the four girls in the living room. He stared at Liu Yue for a while, before saying weirdly, “Liu Zhenhai is your grandfather?”

“Yes dad, hubby and I are going to visit him together tomorrow!” Liu Yue was a bit confused by the question, but she still replied.

My dad’s expression turned even weirder as he clenched his teeth, then finally sighed and said to me, “Come with me!”

I was a bit confused by my father’s expression, he was fine in the morning, why did he turn like this at night? However, I didn’t think anything of it, my dad was a bit weird like this at times.

I followed behind my dad to the study. There, he opened the book shelf and took down a sandalwood box, which he handed to me and said, “Take a look when you have time!”

I returned to the living room in confusion, while holding the sandalwood box, then saw Zhao Yanyan walk over with a giggle. She was holding a fruit plate in her hands with four cards on it. Just as I wanted to ask her about it, she said, “I ask for master to flip a card!”

I momentarily blanked, then immediately laughed loudly, “What are the four of you doing. Weier, as the older sister, why are you letting Yanyan mess around.”

“We aren’t messing around, I discussed with the sisters just now, it’s time to decide on some rules. Flipping over a card every night will be one of it!” said Zhao Yanyan.

“Ha, it’s just like lottery!” I casually picked up a card, then said a “Yue” written on it. Seeing that, I instantly knew that it represented Liu Yue.

“Okay now, Liu Yue-meimei, quickly go and bath in order to serve hubby in bed!” Zhao Yanyan pushed the embarrassed Liu Yue in front of me with a giggle.

“Yanyan-jie, you guys have to come over to help me tonight, I can’t handle… by myself!” Liu Yue said quietly beside Zhao Yanyan, but I was able to hear everything.

Thus, Liu Yue and I was pushed into the bedroom like a newly wedded couple being pushed into the nuptial chamber.

“Hubby, I want you to date me, okay?” After a period of intense action, Liu Yue said coquettishly as she laid on me. Just now, this chick was determined to be on top, but due to the lack of techniques, she ended up panting a lot…

“Date? Hehe, aren’t we dating?” I chuckled.

“It’s not the same! Sometimes, I feel like I’m kind of a failure as a person. Being so old, I still don’t know what it’s like to date. I’m talking about going to watch movies or shop with the person I like…” Liu Yue said wishfully.

“Sure, when we get back to Yanjing city, I’ll accompany you for a few days. It’ll be just the two of us without anyone else!” I said.

“We aren’t bringing Yanyan-jie and them?” Liu Yue asked.

“Nope!” I said.

“Thank you, hubby!” Liu Yue kissed me.

“I’m so tired!” Liu Yue complained, “I feel more comfortable laying on the bed letting you do it.”

“Then let’s change!” I hugged Liu Yue and rolled around on the bed.

“Be careful, don’t hurt me…” Liu Yue said quietly.

“Oh, what is this?” Liu Yue suddenly pointed to the sandalwood box I casually through at the edge of the bed and asked.

“I don’t know, my dad gave it to me just now. I don’t know why he was so mysterious today!” I chuckled.

“Grandpa also has one of these boxes in the study, let’s open it and have a look? It might be a family treasure!” Liu Yue snatched the box over.

“Let’s look at it after we finish!” I said.

“No, finish looking, then do it!” said Liu Yue.

“Okay, how about this, let’s do it while we’re looking!” I compromised.

“Mhmm, let’s do just that!” said Liu Yue.

“I thought it was something nice, it’s just a crappy piece of paper!’ Liu Yue said after opening the box. “Boring… Yi, why is grandpa’s name on this piece of paper?”

“What grandpa’s name?” I causally answered since I was frustrated that Liu Yue and I didn’t finish our business.

“My grandpa Liu Zhenhai! Who is this Liu Zhenjiang?” Liu Yue pointed to the name on the paper and asked.

“That’s my grandpa, he passed away when I was young,” I said.

“Ah!” Liu Yue shuddered after hearing that, then exclaimed. “Impossible! What’s going on! I don’t believe this!”

I instantly freaked, and my lust was drowsed quite a bit. I received the paper in Liu Yue’s hands and took a look. The words “Liu Family Tree” was written clearly on it.

On the ninth generation of the family tree, Liu Zhenhai and Liu Zhenjiang’s name were written. They were brothers!

Liu Zhenjiang was my grandpa, Liu Zhenhai is my grandpa’s younger brother! I was actually my grandpa’s younger brother!

My brain instantly went boom, turning completely blank!

How was this possible? I have never heard my family mention this? There was a period of time when my family was in poverty in my previous life, I did not hear them mention that we had such a rich relative, how did such a second grandpa pop up in this lifetime?

If it was like that, then Liu Yue… She should be my cousin!

Why was it like this! Liu Yue and I were actually relatives!

I was actually doing this sort of stuff on the bed with my younger sister!

Liu Yue looked at me a bit blankly, completely unlike the calm, strong and collected woman she normally was. She said with a trembling voice, “Hubby… The two of us…”

I also smiled wryly. I didn’t know whether it was true or not, but if it was really, it was no better than thunder on a sunny day.

Actually, technically speaking, Liu Yue and I were no longer relatives. That was because only relatives within three generations of each other cannot marry by law, Liu Yue and I were already at the fourth generation, so we were allowed to be together by law.

However, the main problem was that would Liu Zhenhai, the family head of this large family, allow this to happen? Can he tolerate the comments within the family? This was what I was most worried about.

“I don’t want to be your younger sister! I love you, hubby!” Tears dropped from Liu Yue’s eyes as they pierced into my heart.

I finally understood my father’s weird expression, so that was it!

Chapter 110 – The New Year



Our family ate the Chinese New Year Eve dinner as we chatted happily. My mom did not go deep on my issue, since the people involved didn’t say anything, there was no need for her to worry!

However, as a parent, she felt that she still needed to remind them. Thus, she said, “Leilei, I won’t say too much about your issues. Young people are free to love! However, have you considered the things about the future? These girls can’t just follow you for a lifetime just like this, right? How do you want to settle them? After all, our country’s law only allows monogamy!”

This was precisely an issue I had in my heart, to be honest, this was also my greatest trouble. I already promise Zhao Yanyan that if I get married, the position of the legal wife would definitely be hers, but what about other people?

Just as I was troubled, Chen Weier spoke up, “Mom, we don’t care about this. As long as we can be with hubby, that is enough! Let him marry Yanyan-jie, we won’t get jealous!”

I looked towards Chen Weier thankfully. However, I finally made it through for now. Yet, this problem will need to be faced sooner or later. Worst come to worst, I’ll just use money to buy another nationality. This was also the solution when I have no other solutions.

On the first day of the lunar new year, Zhao Yanyan and I visited my father-in-law and subordinate, Zhao Junsheng. When he saw Zhao Yanyan and I get back to how we were before, he was very happy. He drove us to Grandpa Zhao’s family to eat dinner together that evening and decided to drink till we’re all drunk. However, I faced an unexpected guest in Grandpa Zhao’s home.

This person was Ye-bobo, Ye Xiaoxiao’s father. Although he didn’t know of the relationship between Ye Xiaoxiao and I, it was hard to avoid it being awkward when we met. I pretended like I didn’t mind at all when I asked about Ye Xiaoxiao’s situation. Ye-bobo wasn’t too clear, he merely said that Ye Xiaoxiao was studying her masters in Yanjing city. She had returned for a few days before Chinese New Year, but then left, since she said that there was someone she was worried about in Yanjing city.

Hearing that, I felt a sourness in my heart, did Ye Xiaoxiao’s heart belong to someone now? I couldn’t help but shake my head and exclaim silently in my heart. Liu Lei, Liu Lei! Go you think you’re Casanova? Although you and Ye Xiaoxiao felt affable about one another back then, it has long since passed, and you had brought her so much damage. Since she decided to avoid you, it means that it is impossible between the two of you now!

Yet, deep in my heart, another voice said, that’s impossible, Ye Xiaoxiao said it very clearly in the note that she left behind, she will be back! It’s just that the time is not right.

As I was thinking about so much stuff, I couldn’t help but drink a few more glasses. Zhao Junsheng originally had the intention of getting us drunk, so he kept on encouraging me to drink. Since my heart was in chaos, I naturally did not refuse, causing me to drink until I don’t even know what I drank.

I could only heart Zhao Junsheng praise himself in front of Auntie Hui (Zhao Junsheng’’s wife), “I told you this brat, Liu Lei, is a gold mine back then! It seems like I do have the forethought to notice it! I have been doing business and investing my entire life, but my most strategic and thoughtful investment was marrying Yanyan to him! Haha!”

I replied while I was in a blur, Uncle Zhao, you truly are shameless in your speech. I already xo’d your daughter before knowing you! Now you’re saying the work was done by you. When I think back to me in your office, you scared, tricked and lied to me. It was fortunate that laozi have a lot of experience, otherwise, I really would have been tricked.

On the second day of Chinese New Year, I visited Chen Weier’s parents with a dizzy mind. I saw Chen Tianlei and Chen Zelong who had come to visit in Chen Weier’s home. The brat Chen Zelong had gotten much more down to earth, as he kept on calling me brother-in-law.

I used the chance to ask him about how his media company was going as well. I didn’t think that Chen Zelong might not be capable in other matters, but he truly was talented in this matter.

They say that the entertainment industry is chaotic and messed up, but this brat actually got rather successful.

Of course, the entertainment world is related to the underworld, so, the Three Rock Media and Culture Development Limited did quickly stabilize partly due to the relationship in the Three Rock Gang.

A lot of famous directors couldn’t help but give Chen Zelong face. In the words of the people in the industry – Three Rock Media is very powerful! If you offend them, then you might disappear from this planet.

Of course, this was just an exaggeration, but the Three Rock Gang’s name couldn’t help but make those people that wished to go against Three Rock Media re-evaluate themselves.

I found out through the conversation with Chen Zelong that Three Rock Media was preparing to shoot a sci-fi and mythological masterpiece called “Fishman Legends”. The story idea could be said as perfect, if the advertisement was done to point, it might even become a sci-fi film that was comparable to “Superman”.

Chen Zelong named a few people for the female lead. I took a look and saw that Su Yingzi was included in it. It seems like this chick’s pure image was very popular with the media.

I knew that this was a chance. If this movie was successful, then Su Yingzi might very well become an Oscar-winning actress. Her career would also reach a new height.

“Just use Su Yingzi for the female lead!” I pointed onto the list on and said. “Also, restrain your subordinates a bit, don’t try anything with her!”

I knew that there were a lot of unspoken rules in the entertainment industry, especially when it came to people like Chen Zelong, that always wanted to take advantage of the female celebrities, so I gave him a warning beforehand.

The corner of Chen Zelong’s mouth revealed a lewd smile, “Don’t worry, brother-in-law! I understand!”

Sometimes, a conversation between two men were that simple. The other person was able to understand your intentions with just a few words. It seems like Chen Zelong was someone that could be considered to have potential.

“Leave it to Shuguang for the 3D effects. They are top notch when it comes to animations and 3D effects,” I said.

“We also think that as well, but we don’t have any connections with Shuguang. You also know that what I do is enough to handle the people in the entertainment industry, but an international company like Shuguang doesn’t care about this. Going illegal with them is equal to asking to die!” After this period of training, Chen Zelong had already matured a lot, he saw things a lot clearly and was not that arrogant young master he originally was before.

“Hehe, you still don’t know? The person you hit that time was the Shuguang Corporation’s Director Zhao’s daughter!” I chuckled.

“Ah?” Thinking back, Chen Zelong did recall that someone had said it at the time, it’s just that he didn’t treat it as an actual issue. After staying in the mainland for a period of time, he finally understood how powerful is Shuguang Corporation. He also got afraid silently afterwards about how he definitely would end up worse than he was if Shuguang truly wanted to take revenge on him!

“Alright now, don’t worry, no matter what, we’re a family now. That father-in-law of mine will not cause trouble for you due to this, I’ll help you deal with this,” I patted Chen Zelong’s shoulders and said.

Chen Zelong was both respectful and afraid of his brother-in-law at the moment, so he quickly nodded in an understanding manner.

Chapter 109 – Red Envelope



Only after something happened to Zhao Yanyan did I value the people around me even more. This was also why I accepted Liu Yue and Yu Ting so quickly. If time can flow backwards, I definitely wouldn’t make this sort of low leveled mistakes. However, the heavens already gave me a chance for rebirth, how could it give me a second chance!

When everyone arrived at entrance to my family’s mansion, I got Du Xiaowei and his subordinates to find a hotel to stay in, then told him that I have some business to take care of, so I’ll call them later. Then I also reminded them that they must hide the guns well, otherwise, if it was found, even if they are related to me, it isn’t going to be good.

Red Eagle smiled and opened the back door of the Jinbei, then pointed at a pile of metallic parts, “Mr. Liu, if I say that these are car parts, would someone believe it?”

These brats did move pretty fast. I nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Du Xiaowei with a praising gaze. It seems like the disciples that he instructed as an instructor really aren’t normal!

“Hubby, we’re a bit nervous!” Yu Ting and Liu Yue said worriedly as they held hands.

“Liu Yue, this isn’t like you normally! Where did the collected, bright and strong woman go?” I teased.

“But that’s different! How am I still some sort of strong woman, I’m just your little mistress, your legal wife is right there, what place do we have!” Liu Yue deliberately said like she was wronged.

“That won’t happen!” Zhao Yanyan walked over and held Liu Yue and Yu Ting’s hands. “Uncle and Auntie are really nice, they won’t trouble you guys!”

“But I’m still really nervous!” said Yu Ting.

“No problem, you can ask Chen Weier about that. When she first came, she was also very nervous, isn’t she fine now!” I laughed.

“Hubby, you’re making fun of me! I’m not coming anymore!” Chen Weier pouted with a blush.

“Aren’t you just setting an example for your two little sisters!” I said. Then, I rang our home’s doorbell.

Actually, I was also very nervous in my heart. I was afraid that my parents would say something over the line and hurt Yu Ting and Liu Yue. They didn’t do any wrongs. Liking a person and being with him was all natural, but most importantly, they all like the same person.

My parents already forcefully accepted Chen Weier, and now there’s two more. I really didn’t know what I should do. However, since we’re already at the entrance, we’ll just force our way through! There’s always going to be a way, so we’ll just see.

Not long later, the door opened and my mom came out.

“Mom, Happy Chinese New Year!” Zhao Yanyan ran over intimately and said as she leaped into my mom’s arms.

My mom immediately smiled brightly when she said “mom”. She smiled and said, “Yanyan, you finally came back. Mom missed you so much! That ****** brat Liu Lei didn’t bully you, right?” With that, she gazed at the girls behind me. After which, her expression immediately turned sullen. Did he say that there was just one more? Why is there two more?

Since Zhao Yanyan had the intention of helping me out, she jumped out form my mom’s embrace and said, “Mom, hubby is really nice to us! He can’t value me anymore, just don’t worry! Oh yeah, let me introduce you, you know Weier-jiejie, so I won’t introduce you!”

“Mom, happy Chinese New Year!” Chen Weier also walked over to my mom’s side and intimately held her hand.

“Good! Good! Weier grew taller again. Hehe, that brat, Liu Lei, he doesn’t find it enough with just the two of you. He still went out to be a playful. The girlie, Yanyan, messes around, but you, as an older sister, should control the brat, Liu Lei, more!” said my mom.

Seeing Liu Yue and Yu Ting, who were very nervous, I quickly gave Zhao Yanyan a cue.

Zhao Yanyan understood my meaning and continued, “Mom, this is Liu Yue, she’s a good from of Yanyan from primary school all the way to university! This is Yu Ting, speaking of which, she’s Liu Lei’s first love, even I’m a third wheel! Hehe!”

“Yanyan-jie…” Yu Ting said thankfully. She had thought that Zhao Yanyan would exclude her a lot, she never would have imagined that Zhao Yanyan was so nice, and would never bully her.

Hearing Zhao Yanyan say that, my mom let out a sigh and said, “Yanyan, you’re too loose with Liu Lei!” Then she turned around and said to Yu Ting and Liu Yue, “Both of you are Liu Lei’s classmates, right? Ai! This isn’t your fault, I know you’re both good girls, I can see that from you being able to get into Huaxia University. Since you girls can live together nicely, then I won’t say anything as an elder.”

Zhao Yanyan gave Yu Ting and Liu Yue a cue, then said quietly, “Quickly call mom!”

“Mom!” Liu Yue and Yu Ting said together with a blush.

“Good! Good! You’re all my good daughters-in-law. Here’s a red envelope each! Everybody has one!” With that, she took out four red envelopes from her pocket and handed one to everyone.

The four girls did not lack money, but the meaning behind this red envelope was different, so all of them received it excitedly then bowed towards my mom, “Thank you, popo!”

Then, all of them carefully put the red envelopes in their pockets.

I really suspect that they actually practiced this beforehand.

“Mom, where’s my red envelope?” I said with a troubled expression.

“Yours? There isn’t anymore!” said my mom.

“I used to have it every year before!” I still didn’t give up. Although I didn’t care about it, all of the four girls had one, so if I didn’t, that truly is embarrassing!

“Yeah, you were supposed to this year as well, but who let you add an extra person in last minute, so I gave yours out!” My mom replied innocently.

I sweat! This really is trouble brought upon myself! I finally had a taste of my own medicine.

February 15th 1999, it was Chinese New Years eve.

All four girls took the initiative to help my mom in the kitchen to prepare the dinner. Actually they didn’t have to do much since the servants in our home already did all of it. However, cooking was a woman’s instinct, so they all wanted to go and join in.

Not long later, a large table full of dishes was prepared.

My dad looked at the table full of people, then couldn’t help but exclaim quietly, “Liu Lei! It’s not good if you continue like this, should we change this table to a larger one next year?”

My dad’s words caused me to blush, but since some things have already happened, I can no longer stop it.

“Say, Liu Lei, I heard Yanyan say that you seem to still have someone outside, right?” My mom said with a sullen expression. “What exactly do you want to do? You already have so many beautiful and good girls, do you still not have enough?”

“Mom, I can’t help it!” I said forcefully.

“I don’t care, I’m telling you, if you add any more, I won’t welcome them next year!” My mom said.

I know that my mom was just saying things, if there was a few more, my mom wouldn’t be able to harden her heart to kick them out.

Zhao Yanyan giggled when she saw me. In response to this, I could only pretend like I didn’t see her.

“Mom! Just don’t scold Liu Lei now, actually I have responsibilities as well. He has my permission!” said Zhao Yanyan.

Seeing Zhao Yanyan like that, my mom could only sigh and said, “It’s just because that you’re too loose with him that he is doing whatever he wants!”

Chapter 108 – Another Yellow Lamborghini



Du Xiaowei and I got of the car. Due to what happened just now, Du Xiaowei continued to remain vigilant in fear of some other accidents happening. On the other hand, I was very relaxed.

Yellow Lamborghini! It actually was a yellow Lamborghini!

The Lamborghini’s entire rear was dented by a Hummer!

A familiar past event suddenly popped up in my mind. I had once bought Fatty Wu’s older sister, Wu Yingying a car like that. We haven’t met for a long time. At that time, there was only one car like hers in the entire Songjiang city. I wonder how she is now. However, it can’t be that coincidental, right?

When I walked closer to have a look, I couldn’t help but be shocked. It really was the chick Wu Yingying!

At that moment, Wu Yingying had her hands on her waist as she was arguing with a young man with sunglasses on.

“Tell me what you’re going to do after crashing my car like this!” Wu Yingying pointed at the young man and shouted.

“****, big sis, you suddenly braked on the road, do you think my car is a transformer? Who can actually react?” said the young man.

“Didn’t you see the light turn in front? Do you think you’re amazing just because you’re driving a Hummer? A Hummer can just casually hit anyone?” Wu Yingying said while pointing to the traffic lights.

“I didn’t hit you, didn’t I hit the car! Alright, big sis, I’ll submit, how much is it, I’ll compensate you!” The young man said with a clench of his teeth.

“Compensate me! Hmmph! Can you afford it? Do you know how important this car is to me? This is a car that was given to me by someone very important to me!” WU Yingying said, while pitifully caressing the body of the Lamborghini.

“…!” The young man was speechless. “Big sis, aren’t you trying to blackmail me. Then tell me, what do you think I should do!”

“I… I don’t care! You broke my car, you have to give me justice!” said Wu Yingying. Then she took a glance at the Hummer’s car plate. It actually was a police plate! What’s more, it was a garrison one. Thus, Wu Yingying argued loudly, “Can a police just randomly hit other people’s cars!”

“****, miss, didn’t I said that I would compensate you for the car? Just stop yelling!” The young man already felt helpless.

At this moment, the traffic police had arrived as well. When he saw the hummer and the young man, he immediately said respectfully, “Isn’t this Young Master Jiang, what happened?”

The young man immediately straightened his face, “Don’t say stuff like this during work. It’s nothing, just a small accident!”

“This traffic police, look at him, he broke the law as a police and crashed my car. You have to give me justice!” Wu Yingying said without giving up.

“I’ll telling you, what are you screaming for. Do you know who this is. He is Director Jiang’s son. I’m telling you, be careful of me arresting you for slander!” The traffic police said with a snort.

“Alright, try it, arrest me quickly!” With that, Wu Yingying took out an identification document and waved it in front of the traffic police. “I’m telling you. Your grandaunt, I, am a soldier in service, a lieutenant. Just try and arrest me!”

The traffic police immediately didn’t know what to say. He had wanted to scare this girl, but he didn’t think that she was someone powerful too.

The young man called Young Master Jiang glared at the traffic police very angrily and said, “It isn’t any of your business here. Do what you’re supposed to be doing. You actually made things worse, you don’t know this missy, but I have heard of her ages ago! She has messed with half of the young masters in Songjiang city! However, I heard that she doesn’t care much about money, I don’t know what happened today, actually making her be so relentless with me!”

“What are you muttering for?” asked Wu Yingying.

“Nothing, nothing!” replied the traffic police. At the same time, he thought to himself that he really kissed *** at the wrong place, so he should quickly leave!

Hearing the traffic police say that, I recalled as I stood on the side, no wonder this brat looked so familiar, it was actually Jiang Yongfu’s son, Jiang Qi.

It seems like I have to stand out today. Firstly to instantly deal with the grudge between them, the second was because I still needed to go back home for Chinese New Year!

I walked over and stood behind Wu Yingying, then said softly, “Isn’t it just a car! It’s fine if it breaks, I’ll just bring you to buy a new one!”

“And what are you supposed to be! Do you think that your grandaunt, I, can’t afford it? This car has an insane amount of meaning for me…” Wu Yingying was extremely angry, and since someone actually dared to butt into her business, she immediately turned around to shout at the person that had just arrived. She didn’t think that she would see me, causing her to momentarily blank.

“How does your car have an insane amount of meaning? I heard that someone very important to you gave it to you?” I said with a smile.

“Mhmm… Ah… No, I…” Wu Yingying actually blushed! She acted completely different to her image of a violent girl earlier, and said a bit shyly, “Why is it you…”

“Why can’t it be me!” I asked her back.

“I went to find you before, the people that knows you all said you left. Then Fatty Wu said he saw you in Yanjing… I thought you were never coming back!” said Wu Yingying quietly. “Are you still angry at me?”

“Angry at you? Oh, you’re talking about that time. It was my bad. Hehe, I’m not someone so petty!” I said.

“Mhmmm… Then are you still going to leave in the future?” asked Wu Yingying.

“I still have to go to Yanjing city. I’m studying there, but I will be at home during Chinese New Year,” I replied.

“Then, does what you promise me just now count?” Wu Yingying asked carefully.

“You’re talking about buying a car? Of course it does!” I nodded.

“Ugh… About that, Liu-ge, you really came at the right now!” Jiang Qi had already recognized me earlier.

“Jiang Qi, you graduated from police academy, and went to work under your dad?” I said.

“Yeah, I just graduated today. About that… Can I leave… I’ll treat Liu-ge to a meal another day!” Jiang Qi was worried that Wu Yingying would get pissed with him again.

“There’s nothing else. Go, we all know each other,” I said.

“You got lucky!” Wu Yingying smiled sweetly and said in a cute voice.

Jiang Qi really couldn’t believe his eyes and ears. It seemed like she had said “You got lucky” pretty much with a smile, it was completely different form before. However, he didn’t have the time to think about so much, getting the heck of here was the most important.

After exchanging numbers with Wu Yingying, Du Xiaowei and I went back into the car.

“Isn’t that Wu Tian’s older sister?” asked Zhao Yanyan.

“Yeah, hehe, it’s been so many years!” I exclaimed.

“Is she interested at you?” Zhao Yanyan suddenly asked.

“Mhmm, ugh… no,” I freaked.

“Look at how scared you got. I didn’t say anything! Whatever, keep a grasp on it yourself, you won’t listen if I say something!” Zhao Yanyan glanced at Chen Weier and co., who were on the car, “We are already 4 sisters, let’s see how you explain it to uncle and auntie!”

“What can I do. Ai, let’s leave it till we get back. My mom can’t possibly play favorites, right?” I said.

“That’s true. Never mind, I’ll put in a few good words for you!” Zhao Yanyan rolled her eyes at me and then said. “I remember that we met Wu Yingying when we ate seafood together. Ai! Xu Ruoyun was there at the time. I wonder how she is now, there haven’t been any news from her!”

I felt a sourness in my heart. Xu Ruoyun and Ye Xiaoxiao had always been two regrets in my life. However, now that it has come to this, what else could I do!

If I knew this was going to happen, why did I act like that back then.
