Qin Keqing rolled her eyes upwards and groaned, as if she wanted to die with a slap and return to the Land of Illusion.
That was a decisive move.
I want to die...
It took a lot of effort, but I just couldn't die.
I tried again and again, enduring excruciating pain as if my bones were shattering and my flesh was tearing, yet this pain clung to my life.
The crowd, who had inexplicably arrived here, held their breath, unable to bear to look, for Qin Keqing's skin was slowly withering away, her hair was turning yellow and falling out, making her look like a vengeful ghost.
He flashed left and right, shooting close-ups from eighteen different angles, then happily said:
"Host, I just discovered that you can get a cashback for positive reviews and using pictures!"
"How come we didn't notice this before?"
The system huffed, "This is a perk only available after you've spent a certain amount!"
Ling Xiao: That familiar feeling of being stingy...
The young girl, the Goddess of Wealth, leaned against the bedside, playing with the gold and gemstone bracelet on her wrist, looking on with amusement.
"My host is truly thrifty and hardworking. This Gu worm can be extracted and sold again, making it a recyclable resource!"
The system had long since silently abandoned the Golden Boy's mimicry, transformed into a ball of light, put away the camera, and began to fawn over him.
Seeing that she was not dead, "Qin Keqing" struggled to sit up, her eyes filled with resentment. Since she had obtained this appearance, she had been invincible and had never suffered such torment.
If they hadn't descended to the mortal realm and been restricted by the rules of heaven and earth, they wouldn't have been so powerless to fight back.
"Even though you are about to become the God of Wealth, you cannot slaughter gods and immortals at will. I am right here now, let's see if you dare to kill me..."
Before she could finish her harsh words, Ling Xiao granted her wish and rolled her eyes.
What a joke! It's not her who's cleaning up the mess, so why wouldn't she dare to kill him?
She stood up, shook her hands, and frowned, looking like a little girl who had accidentally bumped into something dirty.
"It's so dirty, you can't sell much here."
But in his mind he said to the system:
"The gods and immortals in this world are all so weak, it makes me almost embarrassed to even try to take them down."
The system sneered inwardly. This is a world of romance and sweet nothings, not a world of fighting and killing. Can fairy puppets and fantasy heroes be the same thing?
You've taken three of the police officers under your command, exploited them thoroughly, and now you're putting on this fake act.
The golden toad and the black dog were about to welcome their new colleague—no, a new company, old colleagues—it was all a blessing from their boss!
Just then, a man rushed in through the door, tears streaming down his face, crying out, "Qing, my Qing!"
As soon as he entered the room, a large group of people looked at him with a mixture of surprise, disgust, and understanding. Wang Xifeng even spat out a curse.
Jia Zhen: Automatic silencing.
What to do if you accidentally reveal your secret affair to relatives and friends?
Ling Xiao had no interest in watching this grand spectacle. He leisurely took out a small golden knife, humming a tune as he collected the goods.
His gaze fell upon a single green leaf amidst the myriad flowers, his eyes gleaming with interest. "I've heard the Ningguo Mansion is quite wealthy," he thought to himself, mentally asking the system.
How much treasure chest inventory do we have left?
After rummaging through the remains of the two monsters, the Tai Sui Changqing Water, pots and pans, and other such items, he spoke with relief:
"Our business is good, our inventory turnover is fast, and we don't have much stock."
"OK, this is a good opportunity to clear out some inventory. We'll see how things go next."
The young girl, the Goddess of Wealth, smiled happily. The bloodstains on her fingers were still wet. She asked Jia Zhen with a grin:
"Which Qin Keqing do you want? This beautiful Qin Keqing, or that ugly one?"
Everyone was stunned. What was going on? A few of the smart ones had a sudden realization and understood that the God of Wealth was going to play a trick on them.
No one reminded him, and Lin Daiyu even gave a soft hum.
Jia Zhen was completely bewildered, but he vaguely sensed that this young girl was extraordinary, and he thought about the recent rumors.
As if struck by a sudden inspiration, he realized that this was the legendary Goddess of Wealth. He was immediately excited, wondering if his beloved Qin Keqing was also a fairy!
That must be it, so the Goddess of Wealth came to save her.
Perhaps the Goddess of Wealth was asking him this to test whether he was sincere. Jia Zhen's heart was filled with uncontrollable emotions.
It's pitiful that I and Keqing are deeply in love, but fate plays tricks on us. Our awkward social status prevents us from being together forever. Now, with the Goddess of Wealth as our guarantor, Keqing and I can finally fly away together as a pair of lovebirds.
So, disregarding his pride, he replied respectfully:
"Goddess of Wealth, you jest. Ke Qing is the love of my heart, and naturally I love her no matter what she looks like."
As he spoke, his true feelings were revealed, his lingering gaze falling upon the bed, and he made a solemn vow:
"In this life, I only acknowledge you as the love of my life."
Wang Xifeng couldn't hold back any longer; this was too disgusting! She pointed at the person and started cursing:
"You bastard, calling me 'Qingqing' so happily! Bah! Adulterous couple, turning morality upside down! I've never seen a father cuckold his son and still have the nerve to spew such filthy nonsense!"
After he finished his string of insults, everyone present looked at him with disdain, causing Jia Zhen's face to turn pale and then red.
"Alright, don't spoil my fun," the girl said to Wang Xifeng, hands on her hips, looking annoyed.
Jia Zhen raised his eyebrows triumphantly and glanced at them smugly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the Goddess of Wealth turn to him, cover her mouth and laugh, and lift the bed curtains with one hand.
When the contents were exposed to light, their appearance was terrifying and grotesque, with skin and flesh mottled and clinging to the bone.
"Since you like it so much, I'll give it all to you," the God of Wealth said generously, waving his hand. Jia Zhen was caught off guard and pulled onto the bed, face to face with the corpse.
"Ahhh...monster, let me out!"
Jia Zhen tried desperately to pull at the bed curtains, wanting to get out.
The system let out a weary sigh, and the two matchstick-like hands within the ball of light clasped together: "May my fellow Daoist die, or may I, this Daoist, perish!"
"Hahahaha!" Laughter filled the room, a joyful chorus of voices. Wang Xifeng laughed so hard she slapped her thigh.
"You bastard, didn't you say you loved Ke Qing so much? Now the God of Wealth has granted your wish."
After laughing enough, Jia Zhen was released. He hugged himself and sobbed like a pitiful little thing, probably not wanting to find true love for the rest of his life.
"It's almost done, time to start ripping people off," Ling Xiao nodded. Customers are more likely to spend more money when they're distracted.
The young goddess of wealth waved her hand, revealing a ground covered with various treasure chests of different grades, which looked quite abundant.
"A good day! This God of Wealth is taking pity on you and will grant each of you one chance to buy a treasure chest. First come, first served!"
Then, adhering to business ethics, Ling Xiao added a reminder:
"The odds for this treasure chest are lower, but the rules remain the same: once purchased, there are no refunds."
No one objected.
"Holy crap, host, you're even swindling money from these beauties? I thought you were only swindling Jia Zhen!" the system exclaimed in surprise.
Based on his limited experience, the host is somewhat obsessed with good looks.
"Treasures are meant to be possessed by those with the right fate, and Jia Zhen will surely be the most fortunate one among them, won't he?"
Oh... I suddenly realize, the host's "fate" is not so easy to accept.
