Inside the car, Jia Wenlong had a complicated expression and felt uneasy.
Only after exchanging for the Anti-Cold Stone did he realize the danger. Money can tempt people. Now he is short of food and clothing, and the Demon God Chamber of Commerce is not a pushover. He suddenly took out so much food. Even if he thinks with his feet, he can tell that he has become fat meat in their eyes.
If I hadn't figured out the power behind me, I would probably have died.
"Why didn't I think of spreading the exchange out? At least it wouldn't be so conspicuous. I was careless!"
He sighed in frustration.
However, things have come to this point, and Jia Wenlong also hopes that Lu Tian's strength is really as he said, and dealing with the Demon God Cult will just be a little troublesome.
Soon, the car entered an upscale residential area. At this time, the Magic City was once again in a power outage, and the entire community was dark.
The car stopped in front of a townhouse.
Jia Wenlong parked the car in the garage, hesitated for a moment, took out three apples and two bananas from the black bag, and then put the remaining fruits away and kept them warm.
He went up the stairs, carrying a plastic bag in one hand and a platform in the other.
Arriving at the first floor lobby, a slender dark figure sat silently on the sofa in the living room. It was Jia Wenlong's wife, Liu Yishu.
Jia Wenlong was startled and walked quickly to Liu Yishu. Seeing her sad face, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.
Liu Yishu is not like him who has no awakened superpowers. Instead, not only has her superpowers awakened, but she also has excellent talent for cultivation. She is now a C-level water element controller.
However, Liu Yishu was a gentle woman. She didn't dislike Jia Wenlong because he hadn't awakened his special ability. Instead, she was determined to follow him. Because of this, she was often troubled by her family.
In their opinion, Liu Yishu is beautiful, has excellent looks, and has awakened special powers. She can definitely find a good family. Following Jia Wenlong is really like letting a pig take advantage of her.
But they didn't think about the fact that before the end of the world, Jia Wenlong was a wealthy second-generation family, while the Liu family was just an ordinary family in a small county town. They all settled down in the Magic City thanks to Jia Wenlong, and now they began to look down on him because he did not awaken his superpowers.
Jia Wenlong finally saw through the true face of the Liu family: a group of ungrateful people who could never be fed.
"Wife, what's wrong with you? Are they making things difficult for you again?"
There is no need to guess, Liu Yishu's sad look is definitely related to the people from her mother's family.
Liu Yishu raised her head and saw Jia Wenlong's earnest gaze. She suddenly felt guilty and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Jia Wenlong suddenly panicked, put down the things in his hands, hugged Liu Yishu, and said with concern: "Wife, what's wrong with you? It's your husband who is useless and makes you suffer!"
Liu Yishu broke away from Jia Wenlong's embrace, her expression like a child who had done something wrong, and hesitated for a moment:
"Hubby, my mom tricked me into going on a blind date today, and I didn't know about it beforehand."
"What?"
Jia Wenlong felt angry. He and Liu Yishu had not yet divorced, but the Liu family was so impatient to find another wife.
Then, a deep hatred arose in his heart, hating himself for not awakening his special abilities and not being able to protect even his wife.
"Hubby, you have to believe me, I love you!"
Seeing Jia Wenlong's expression, Liu Yishu explained in a panic.
Ding-a-ling!
At this moment, Liu Yishu's phone rang. It was her mother calling. She looked at Jia Wenlong and hesitated whether to answer.
Jia Wenlong signaled Liu Yishu to pick up the phone. He wanted to hear what his mother-in-law had to say.
"Xiaoyi, what do you think of Zhang Yi? Although he's a bit older, he's the Foreign Affairs Elder of the Demon God Chamber of Commerce. He's powerful and considerate. If you marry him, you won't have to worry about food and drink, and we can also benefit from him..."
As soon as the call was connected, Liu Yishu's mother started talking non-stop.
Liu Yishu interrupted her mother and said in a complaining tone, "Mom, I'm married, and your son-in-law is Jia Wenlong!"
"Don't mention Jia Wenlong to me. He makes me angry. He's a loser without any awakened superpowers. How can he be qualified to be my son-in-law? Break up with him immediately!"
Mother Liu's voice suddenly rose and she scolded in a stern tone.
"I won't separate from Wenlong! Just give up on this idea!"
After saying this, Liu Yishu hung up the phone and looked at Jia Wenlong, who was as gloomy as ink.
The two people looked at each other in silence.
Jia Wenlong is now extremely eager to possess power, but he has missed the period when his superpowers awaken. Is there still hope?
At this time, Liu Yishu accidentally saw the plastic bag that Jia Wenlong placed on the ground, and her eyes could not move away.
apple!
The plastic bag was not tied properly and several apples rolled out and scattered on the ground.
She quickly picked up the apple and examined it again and again.
"Yes, this is an apple! And it's fresh, just picked from the tree!"
Liu Yishu looked at Jia Wenlong in confusion.
When Jia Wenlong saw the apple, he thought of something and immediately perked up.
"That's right, Boss Lu. As long as I can cling to Boss Lu's thigh, the foreign affairs elder of the Demon God Chamber of Commerce will be nothing. The Liu family will never dare to encourage Yishu to leave me again!"
Seeing Liu Yishu's puzzled face, Jia Wenlong told her about his acquaintance with Lu Tian, the purchase of the anti-cold stone, and some of his own guesses.
"Is there really such a person?"
After listening to Jia Wenlong's description, Liu Yishu was a little bit unbelievable, but when she saw the fresh apples, she had to admit that it was all true.
It is impossible for the four major families to have fresh fruits. At most, they have previous stocks.
Lu Tian was able to possess wealth without showing it off, but he opened a restaurant openly and was not afraid of being envied or coveted by others.
In such a situation, either this person is a fool, or the power behind him is so terrifying that he is not afraid of any force.
From Jia Wenlong's description, Liu Yishu was convinced that Lu Tian was not stupid, so it could only mean that Lu Tian was not afraid of any force in the Magic City.
The worries on their faces disappeared. Liu Yishu cut an apple into six pieces, ate two pieces for herself and Jia Wenlong, and left the rest for her parents-in-law who were already resting, her sister-in-law, and their son.
Liu Yishu tasted the apple in small bites. The apple was quite large, twice the size of the apples before the apocalypse, but even so, she finished it in a short while.
Liu Yishu licked her lips and swallowed when she saw that Jia Wenlong still had half an apple in his hand.
Seeing Liu Yishu's greedy look, Jia Wenlong smiled as he broke open the banana and handed it to her: "Have a banana. There are still plenty in the garage. Boss Lu is very generous and gave us a lot of fruit. I'll keep it in the garage!"
Knowing that there was more, Liu Yishu took the banana and started eating it. In the end, even the banana peel was bitten until it was as thin as white paper.
It was nice to finally taste fruit again.
The two of them savored the taste of the fruit in their mouths in ecstasy.
Knock knock!
Just then, the door was knocked hard and a voice was heard.
The two men's faces turned ugly.
