On the large bed, Ariel Lin nestled happily beside Xiao Chen, as if everything had returned to the time when they first met.
Xiao Chen has been in the black market for several days, and Lin Yichen has been warmly entertaining him for just as long. From Xiao Chen, Lin Yichen has also learned about the current situation.
"Don't worry, even a fool knows not to get close to those zombies. It's just that the zombies these days seem to have a certain ability to evolve. I wonder when they will evolve to the level of humans."
Lin Yichen lay in Xiao Chen's arms, her face showing some worry. Clearly, after learning that zombies actually possessed the ability to evolve, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Don't worry, at your current level, you're evolving much faster than zombies. I estimate it won't be long before you break through to SSS level, and your strength at that time will be terrifying."
Xiao Chen patted Lin Yichen's hair and smiled.
"Okay, I'm done talking to you. I have some things to take care of today."
Just then, Ariel Lin glanced at her watch and realized it was getting late, so she quickly stood up, got dressed, and went out.
It wasn't until Lin Yichen left that Xiao Chen got out of bed. After checking his cultivation level, he estimated that it was about time for him to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. He also planned to learn a few more immortal techniques to protect himself.
Although he has now mastered nearly ten immortal techniques, it is still far from enough for Xiao Chen. Moreover, the level of these immortal techniques is not high. The strongest one is only the Sword Draw Slash, which is only at the peak of the Profound Rank.
Meanwhile, after Ariel Lin left the room.
"The Empress."
Upon seeing Ariel Lin, the people of Ice and Snow Valley all bowed in greeting.
"Hmm, have the people from Lei Wang's mansion arrived yet?"
Ariel Lin asked casually, and the other person nodded.
"You've arrived, and you're waiting for me in the main hall."
Upon hearing this, Ariel Lin immediately headed towards the main hall and soon arrived inside.
As Ariel Lin entered the main hall, the three middle-aged men inside stood up with smiles.
"This must be the Ice and Snow Empress. I've heard so much about you."
The leader spoke with a smile, while Ariel Lin responded coldly.
"You must be Lei Wang, right? Tell me, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with me?"
Lin Yichen's powerful aura made Lei Wang frown, but cooperation was the most important thing at the moment, so Lei Wang smiled and said again.
"I want to cooperate with you to divide up a portion of the capital city."
Upon hearing Lei Wang's words, Ariel Lin seemed somewhat incredulous.
"Are you sure? That's the capital!"
"That's right, I'm certainly sure of that, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to cooperate with you, the Ice Queen."
Hearing Lei Wang's serious tone, Ariel Lin frowned and asked.
"What makes you think my Ice and Snow Valley would agree to cooperate with you? Besides, Ice and Snow Valley is doing quite well now, so why should we cooperate with you?"
But at this moment, Lei Wang remained confident.
“I think you would like to work with me.”
After saying that, Lei Wang took out a bag of files and handed it to Lin Yichen. Lin Yichen took it with some doubt, but after seeing the contents, Lin Yichen's face immediately turned angry.
Lei Wang then said to himself, "Given your background, Ice Queen, I think you wouldn't refuse my request."
That's right, it contains records of Ariel Lin's background and how her lineage was wiped out by the main branch of the Lin family.
Lin Fan had already told her about her background before, and seeing it again now naturally made her furious.
This time, their cooperation involves taking over the Lin family's territory in the capital. As an ancient clan, the Lin family occupies about a quarter of the territory in the capital. If they can take it over, it will definitely be a profitable deal for them.
"So how should we divide it then?"
Lin Yichen put down the file folder in her hand, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and asked.
"It's a 50/50 split, since we're sending the same number of people from both sides."
Lei Wang smiled and said.
"Okay, but I think I need some time to prepare."
Lin Yichen agreed without any surprise. The hatred of her clan's extermination could not go unavenged, and on top of that, she could also divide up the territory of the capital. It was a win-win situation.
"It's alright, we'll start our operation in a month anyway."
Upon hearing Lei Wang's words, Lin Yichen thought for a moment and realized that it seemed to be enough to handle everything. With that thought, Lin Yichen stood up and said expressionlessly.
"In that case, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Now that the cooperation had been finalized, Lei Wang and the others left. Only after Lei Wang and the others left did Xiao Chen's figure slowly emerge from the side.
"Do you really believe in that Thunder King?"
"I have no choice but to believe you. This is a blood feud that wiped out our entire clan. Only I can avenge it."
Lin Yichen felt a bit tired and rubbed her head vigorously.
Back then, a conflict of interest arose within the Lin family, and as expected, a purge ensued. Lin Fan and Lin Yichen belonged to a collateral branch, so they were naturally all eliminated.
Lin Fan and Lin Yichen were only able to be sent out by the elders of the family at great personal risk, and Lin Yichen even lost her memory.
The so-called ancient clans are those with a history of at least a thousand years. They have ancient martial arts masters and are incredibly powerful. Otherwise, Lin Fan wouldn't have waited so long to seek revenge.
"If you want to go, then I support you. A month is enough time for you to break through to the SSS level. It's safer to wait until then."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said that after sending Lin Yichen away, he estimated that he would start his seclusion to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm. He had played for long enough, and it was time to start cultivating seriously.
"Yes, thank you."
Ariel Lin didn't say much, but instead gave a substantial thank you by having Xiao Chen kiss her.
