Thunderbolt Battle Lady woke up several times in a daze, but soon fell asleep again. It took her three days to fully restore her consciousness. She didn’t wake up naturally, but was woken up by the laughter of the Li family’s great-grandma and great-grandson.
She tried to speak in a weak hoarse voice but it sounded like a groan. She felt pain in every joint and was unable to move a finger.
Li Xianyu, who was watching crosstalk programmes with relish with Great-Grandma, immediately put down his mobile phone and went to the bedside to greet her with concern, “You are awake.”
Great-Grandma snatched the mobile phone, a dopey smile on her face, as she continued to watch the crosstalk programme.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady nodded slightly, her face so pale that she looked like a paper figure. She looked even more sickly than Lin Daiyu, a renowned sick beauty. Her lips trembled but still could not speak.
“That was a close shave. You almost died,” Li Xianyu said. “This is the headquarters of the company. We are back in Shanghai. You’re hurt so badly that my blood didn’t work. Fengtian Division is in a mess, and we sent you back on a private plane overnight. Still, the Four Divine Physicians are reliable and operated on you. You’re all right now. You can recover after getting enough rest and recuperate for a period of time.”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady frowned anxiously.
Li Xianyu knew what she wanted to ask and nodded. “In the end, we won. You have avenged your mother and sister. Your enemies, including the elderly Wu family master, Wu Yuanping and his descendants are all dead. It’s Wu Sanjin, he had given the order beforehand. But… he’s dead too.”
Thunderbolt Battle Lady was stunned and looked a little sad.
“It’s not that I didn’t save him. When I found him, he was already dead. He had avenged his loved one, and left peacefully.” Li Xianyu sighed. He would probably remember Wu Sanjin’s proud back, as he stood tall at the time of his death for many years.
It was easy to determine right and wrong for matters, but it was really hard to distinguish between good and evil for people.
The Wu family’s matters in the Northeast spread throughout the demon descendants community the next day. It was the age of information, and any news would spread all over the country, let alone such a major event that happened to the Wu family. It swept the whole of the northeast, and it’s not possible to hide it.
The first was that the Wu family, as one of the seven surnames, lost more than half of its elites in this encounter. Since then, there will be only six surnames in the demon descendants community, and the Wu family in Northeast China had withdrawn from the center of the stage. It wouldn’t be able to recover for decades.
The elderly Wu family master, the top master in Northeast China, a powerful master ranked 9th on the demon descendants list, fell in this battle. This made a splash in the entire demon descendants community.
Ever since the death of Li Wuxiang, for decades, one of the top 10 masters of the demon descendants list had finally fallen. Even when the Ancient Gods Clan was destroyed, no master of this level fell.
As for the Wu family members that were scattered around, some immediately returned to Northeast China, while others announced that they had left the Wu family in Northeast China. The latter were mostly unsuccessful and took advantage of the Wu family when it was hit severely. They couldn’t care less about them and took the opportunity to leave the family.
The Wu family spoke out on the Internet and seriously protested Baoze’s behavior. The Wu family would no longer abide by Baoze’s system, claiming to have broken the agreement of harmony and stability in the demon descendants community. They also hoped that the major families can unite to resist Baoze.
Baoze responded strongly, criticizing the Wu family for their ambition and ulterior motive. They threw out the crime of replicating the Unparalleled War Spirit. When many families who felt they might be implicated saw the news, they were shocked. The Unparalleled War Spirit was a Gokudo weapon, and almost every family in the demon descendants community has fantasized about possessing such a weapon. At the same time, they also suffered from it. Thus, the demon descendants families had a love-hate relationship with the Unparalleled War Spirit.
She was like a blade hanging over the heads of the families, so that they dare not blatantly deal with Li Xianyu. The Unparalleled War Spirit was like a nuclear weapon. Every country works hard to make it and resist others from making it.
The Wu family secretly trying to replicate the Unparalleled War Spirit triggered the sensitive nerves of all demon descendants forces.
Brother, you are very naughty, building a nuclear bomb without saying a word. Not afraid we’ll punish you like the United States?
At the same time, Baoze declared that all this was the personal behavior of the minister of Fengtian Division. He had lied about his mission and led the team to attack the Wu family.
The personal data of Wu Sanjin was also released, which revealed his tragic past. Baoze apologized for the matter and was willing to pay some compensation to the Wu family, but all this was your own fault.
The more crimes you commit, the more you will suffer from it.
After many years, Wu Sanjin, who was once famous, was once again in the public eye. Only this time, it was his last hurrah.
He was a very talented person, and everyone was shocked by him. They felt that he was a legend and it was unreal. With his own power, he had fought against the elderly family master of his own clan and died together with him. This meant that he was also an expert in the top ten of the demon descendants list.
Moreover, he was too young, and being young meant potential, a terrible potential.
In time, perhaps the demon descendants community will have another Gokudo master.
There was also an internal uproar in Baoze. The people who were most incredulous must be the internal personnel of Baoze. The useless Minister of Northeast was famous in the company. Every year, some branches that were ranked last would comfort themselves with the words “No matter how bad I am, I’m better than Northeast”, accompanied by a disdainful scoff or two.
When the company organized a meeting for the ministers to meet, someone drank alcohol and said, “I’m really not a good minister.”
There were always people who said, “You’re fine compared to that drunk who only knows how to drink.”
So the crowd laughed and the atmosphere was joyful.
Wu Sanjin was a minister who lowered the standard of Baoze’s ministers. Looking at him, the ministers of the major divisions felt that their performance was forgivable even if they felt that their performance had declined.
To become minister, either one’s overall vision had to be very strong, or one had to have outstanding overall planning ability. Or, like the God of Apes, one had to be very powerful. In short, no one was mediocre, except the useless minister in the northeast.
After the incident, the company was all talking about Wu Sanjin, and the ministers were forlorn.
Useless minister… After all these years, why did he suddenly fall?
It turned out that with the exception of the Big Boss, Baoze’s top master was the drunk who had been called useless for many years.
No wonder he didn’t care about performance or his gossip. What else was there to care about in the world, for a person who had predicted his own fate?
Thunderbolt Battle Lady listened to Li Xianyu recount the story of the past few days. Listening to his evaluation of someone who was barely considered as a fellow clansmen, she thought, He was also a pitiful man.
She could not help but ask, “If you were him, would you do that?”
Li Xianyu thought about it. “I wouldn’t bear it for so many years. I would remove the Wu family from the northeast.”
He recalled when his Ice Shards sister was kidnapped. If Ice Shards was really hurt, he would not hesitate to activate Gluttony, and with the help of his Great-Grandma, he would destroy the Demons Alliance, let alone the Liu family.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady smiled and said, “Yes, you don’t even need a night to take revenge. Everyone is afraid of you. But he didn’t have such power, and neither did I. We all had to spend a long time wallowing in hatred. It’s a blessing that we could burn our enemies to death by burning ourselves.”
According to Wu Sanjin and her normal track, it would have been impossible for them to take revenge in this lifetime. Baoze had provided them with an opportunity. And without Li Xianyu, she would have died on the night of revenge, like Wu Sanjin.
Li Xianyu was different. He was a Gokudo Path inheritor. He has a great-grandmother who deterred the society for two hundred years, and he even obtained the precious Demonic Priest’s treasure. If they were determined to put their lives on the line, they could turn the whole demon descendants community upside down.
“The company has appointed the God of Fire to take over as minister of the Fengtian Division. God of Fire is a man with a raging temper, who is no pushover. The golden age of the demon descendants community in Northeast China is over and is about to usher in a cold winter,” Li Xianyu said.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady nodded slightly. The Demons Alliance and the Wu family have suffered heavy losses and their overall strength has been weakened. Baoze sent an S-class minister, and their motive to suppress them is obvious. From then on, Baoze will be the dominant force in the northeast. The privileges of the Demons Alliance may be abolished. The Wu family who was eager to restore vitality can only bow to the minister, and dare not clash-head on.
“What do the major families think?” she asked.
“I’m not sure about that. It’s not something we should care about. I’m sure there are complaints and wariness, as Baoze severely cut down the Wu family. But in the end, they did not wipe out the family. Even if those demon descendants families have a problem, they will not take any excessive action. They might even be elated, as the fall of a major family is an opportunity for them.”
“I want to drink some water.” After talking for a long time, Thunderbolt Battle Lady’s throat was parched.
She was seriously injured and it was inconvenient for her to move. Li Xianyu poured her a glass of water, added a pillow and helped her to sit up. He also personally fed her water.
After chugging down a large glass of water, Thunderbolt Battle Lady exhaled a long satisfied breath. She had drank a little urgently, and the water flowed along the corner of the mouth to her neck.
When Li Xianyu saw this, he didn’t think much and subconsciously helped her wipe the water stains at the corners of her mouth. His fingertips glided over her soft moist lips.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady slowly blushed as she turned her head away gently.
She’s…
As an experienced flirt, Li Xianyu’s eyes lit up as he thought that this was a good sign.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady’s expression showed that she had an increase in affection for him. If she was a girl who was not as reserved, they could go to third base tonight. If the girl was reserved, she could be chased with some effort.
Li Xianyu has never hooked up with a good girl like Thunderbolt Battle Lady. He had always felt that it was foolish to find a girlfriend to restrain himself. Why give up the forest for a tree?
The news and experience of the demons descendants community during this period made him a little serious. Although he would still want to hook up when he saw beautiful ladies, he was not as flirtatious as he used to be.
Occasionally, he would think it’s good to be in a relationship.
Now, as long as he gave a little response, Thunderbolt Battle Lady would understand his intentions and enter the ambiguous stage before love. Wasn’t a relationship like this? First they had to become familiar, then there will be this ambiguous stage, and then express their love.
Caress her chin and give her a wink… Li Xianyu thought in his heart and was just about to act, when his left leg bone suddenly cracked, with a crisp sound.
The bone is broken…
Great-Grandma retracted her foot expressionlessly, and continued to watch crosstalk with relish.
“What’s that sound?” Thunderbolt Battle Lady frowned as she was sensitive to sounds like broken bones.
Li Xianyu was speechless and looked back at Great-Grandma and squeezed out a sad smile. “It’s okay, it’s okay…”
(ﾉ=▼ω▼=)ﾉ┴─┴
“By the way, something interesting happened in the Demons Alliance.” Li Xianyu changed the subject.
Thunderbolt Battle Lady gave a confused “Uh huh.”
“Guess who the current leader is.” Li Xianyu kept her in suspense.
“How am I going to guess that?” She rolled her eyes at Li Xianyu.
“It’s an outsider, a lady,” Li Xianyu said.
