At this moment, Lin Qingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sitting on the edge of the soft bed, she crossed her little feet, propped her chin with one hand, and watched Mo Cinian making a phone call with a hint of curiosity.
Even though she had been pursued by Mo Cinian for over two years, she realized… she actually knew very little about this man. She didn’t know his family background or his connections at all.
Many people knew that this Mo master in City A was wealthy and powerful, with an immense background, but no one truly understood what kind of support stood behind him. He was extremely mysterious.
From their conversation, she could vaguely tell… that the person on the other end of the line seemed to be Mo Cinian’s father?
But who insults their own father by calling him “old undead”? This was way too absurd!
…
“Adele…”
Mo Cinian murmured the name twice. A not-so-pleasant memory surfaced in his mind. The original host harbored a deep, instinctual fear toward this girl, and even he himself felt a bit uneasy.
Everyone knew that every big villain must have a childhood friend. Her full name—Adele Tatiana!
She was from Russia, and her father was a bona fide mafia boss there.
Yes, that’s right! She was a mafia princess!
She had inherited all the excellent traditions of a fighting nation—tough, fierce, and half Russian, half Chinese.
In his memory, Adele was extremely beautiful, possessing heterochromatic eyes, much like a Persian cat.
But despite her beauty… her punches really hurt.
Unfortunately, when the original host came to the Dragon Country and met Lin Qingqiu, he was instantly smitten and became a simpering fool.
This was probably what people meant by… childhood friends just can’t beat sudden appearance types~
“You… you’d better not let her come for now!”
Mo Cinian felt a bit scared. Right now, he was just a weakling… and honestly, it was embarrassing to admit, but he might not even be able to beat Adele.
No, he desperately needed to improve his combat strength!
For the first time, he felt the pressure. Wealth and power were all secondary—strength was what truly mattered!
“No one can stop her, not even her father. And she somehow found out that you’re chasing another girl… I couldn’t stop her, so you’re on your own.”
“Hey—”
“Beep—beep—beep—”
“F*ck!”
Mo Cinian’s face darkened. Sometimes… women were even more troublesome than Chosen Ones!
No, he needed to speed up harvesting Collapse Points. Glancing at his balance—just a little over ten thousand—he felt a sense of crisis.
He had his eye on a skill worth 50,000 Collapse Points: [Comprehensive Martial Arts Master].
But right now, he was dead broke.
“Cluck cluck cluck~~~”
“Hmm?”
“What are you laughing at?”
Mo Cinian’s gaze swept to the edge of the bed where Lin Qingqiu was giggling. When caught, Lin Qingqiu instantly tensed up.
But now that she was discovered…
“I… I wasn’t laughing.”
Mo Cinian sneered. Perfect timing—he was short on Collapse Points.
Woman, I’ll use you to aid my cultivation!
“Ah… mm!”
“Qingqiu!”
“Mm?”
“Can you look at me with more disgust, yeah—just like that, as if you’re looking at an enemy.”
“….”
…
The next morning.
Mo Cinian got up early, feeling refreshed.
More importantly, he had harvested over 10,000 Collapse Points just from last night.
Very nice!
[Host, you’re really not human!]
The system was terrified. What kind of host had it bound to?
It was simply monstrous.
Morning: attended her grandfather’s funeral. Noon: freeloaded at the funeral feast. Night: coaxed her into bed.
And crucially… her grandfather was the one he had caused the death of!
Was this something a human could do?
“What, if I’m not human, are you?”
Mo Cinian raised an eyebrow and glanced at the system.
[…]
For the first time, the system realized that a person could be so utterly shameless.
After getting up, he glanced at the girl still sleeping soundly and shook his head.
By habit, he would have put on his pants and left by now.
But after a moment’s thought, he sighed lightly.
He had softened.
Though it had only been a few days, he had a clear understanding of Lin Qingqiu’s personality.
To be honest… Mo Cinian didn’t think this girl had deep feelings for Lin Zhentian. Maybe not even for her parents. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have so easily called him ‘Dad’ last night. Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
A girl who had been lost since childhood and grew up in an orphanage couldn’t possibly harbor deep familial love for parents she barely knew.
It was more like a desperate desire to be loved.
Girls like her were the easiest to fool—just give her a little affection, and she would magnify it infinitely, believing you truly loved her.
“Mm…”
Before long, Lin Qingqiu woke up.
Surprisingly, she was very calm, as if nothing had happened the night before.
“Growl~~~~”
A loud stomach growl betrayed her forced calmness.
“Hungry?”
Mo Cinian glanced at Lin Qingqiu sitting at the bedside and pointed at the headboard.
He had asked the hotel to deliver breakfast earlier.
“Th-thank you!”
“No problem~”
“Aren’t you eating?”
“I’ve already eaten.”
Building intimacy was quickest in bed.
“You… when will you help me destroy Lin Hua’s family?”
After last night, Lin Qingqiu seemed to have completely turned dark.
She couldn’t wait to see Lin Hua’s family ruined.
“You’re so impatient?”
“Don’t worry. If I want to destroy Lin Hua’s family, it won’t matter where they run.”
Lin Qingqiu grew anxious after hearing Mo Cinian’s calm response.
“What if they get desperate, sell off their shares, and flee overseas?”
“Flee overseas?”
Mo Cinian chuckled like he had heard a joke.
He wished they would run abroad.
For Lin Hua’s family, it was already a dead end.
If they stayed in the Dragon Country, Lin Corporation would go bankrupt, and Lin Hua would be jailed for murder. Lin Hua definitely wouldn’t accept that and would run.
And if they went abroad?
Even better. Mo Cinian had countless ways to finish him off. No matter where he ran, it would be useless.
From the moment Mo Cinian decided to destroy them, everything was already sealed.
