"Do you think she won't come?" Liu Zhaodi looked annoyed when she mentioned Liu Shuangshuang. She glared at Jiang Yuan and muttered, "I don't know what kind of magic potion you gave her. She clearly had something to do at home, but as soon as she heard that you needed her help, she immediately dropped everything and rushed over!"
"It's not some kind of mind-altering drug! If you were paralyzed for decades and then suddenly someone cured you, you might be even more excited than your sister, and you might even offer yourself to him on the spot!" Jiang Yuan said calmly. "Of course, I would have to think carefully if you offered yourself to me!"
"You..." Liu Zhaodi clenched her little pink fists, really wanting to punch Jiang Yuan in the face.
Jiang Yuan remained unmoved and continued, "What impact did the beast tide have on the South City last night?"
"I don't want to talk about it, anyway, I'm worthless in someone's eyes!" Liu Zhaodi said angrily, hands on her hips.
“I’ll ask your sister later!” Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Liu Zhaodi gritted her teeth in anger. After thinking for a moment, she finally spoke up: "Last night's beast tide was very large, but it seems that because of our intervention, the number of ninth-tier spirit beasts that appeared in the tide was not many! So although the beast tide affected a wide area, it did not have a great impact on Nancheng. It was just that the casualty rate among ordinary people was extremely high!"
Jiang Yuan fell silent upon hearing this; in such a defensive siege, ordinary people were the first to suffer.
"Furthermore, some factions have been targeted during this beast tide!"
At this point, Liu Zhaodi's emotions clearly changed.
"Is the Liu family being targeted?" Jiang Yuan asked, frowning.
Liu Zhaodi nodded. "Last night's beast tide included three ninth-tier spirit beasts that crossed the city defense line and entered the Liu family's territory. Two ninth-tier members of my Liu family were seriously injured, and many other Liu family members of different ranks also suffered casualties!"
“Apart from the Liu family, the Northern City Alliance guarding the North Gate area and the Heaven and Earth Society scattered in the South Gate were all affected to varying degrees. This beast tide actually had the least impact on the most powerful warlord forces stationed in the East Gate.”
"Is your Liu family alright?" Jiang Yuan asked with concern.
"We should be able to handle it. Although the other side's three ninth-tier spirit beasts are powerful, our Liu family is not to be trifled with!" Liu Zhaodi nodded, indicating to Jiang Yuan not to worry.
"I'm so sorry, if I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have taken you to the West Gate!" Jiang Yuan said with some self-reproach. If he hadn't taken Liu Zhaodi away, with Liu Zhaodi's help, the Liu family would have been able to easily repel the invading ninth-tier spirit beast.
"Since you know you're sorry, then find a way to be worthy of me. Coincidentally, my Liu family needs fresh blood. How about you..." Liu Zhaodi said meaningfully.
"I refuse!"
Jiang Yuan uttered three words without even thinking.
"Jiang Yuan, I didn't ask you to have my child, why are you refusing so quickly!" Liu Zhaodi said angrily.
"Don't bring up anything unrealistic!" Jiang Yuan warned.
Liu Zhaodi glanced at Jiang Yuan and teased, "What, can't I even do you a favor now by doing some publicity?"
"Publicity? What publicity!" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.
Liu Zhaodi's eyes crinkled into slits with laughter. "You don't know, after these upheavals, a whole city in Nancheng has been swept up in the craze for spiritual awakening. But because resources are limited, many talented people without opportunities have no chance to participate. So after discussions, the three families and two alliances decided to hold a large-scale talent recommendation meeting to give those talented people who have no opportunity to use their talents a chance to join the forces."
"So, it's this?" Jiang Yuan asked doubtfully.
“Yes!” Liu Zhaodi nodded, looking at Jiang Yuan with a half-smile, “You don’t think I’m trying to pay a lot of money to have a child, do you?”
Jiang Yuan's eyes twitched slightly. This woman really dared to say anything. He quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I meant I have to go out tomorrow and might not be able to help!"
"It's not like it has to be tomorrow!"
"The day after tomorrow won't work, and neither will the day after that!"
Jiang Yuan refused before Liu Zhaodi could finish speaking.
"It's not like we're not going to pay you, why are you being so heartless!" Liu Zhaodi pouted.
After nearly ten minutes of transformation, the little dumpling's energy finally stabilized at 150 points. He handed the little dumpling to Liu Zhaodi: "Here, you can hold it, it's as heavy as a pig!"
The little dumpling is only half a meter tall in its normal state, but it's so thick that it weighs dozens of kilograms. Hugging your legs all day long is enough to make you develop uneven shoulders.
"Give it to me, give it to me!" Liu Zhaodi couldn't wait to hold it herself, but she was surprised the moment she got her hands on it.
"What happened? Little Dumpling wasn't even awakened yesterday, and now it's already at the seventh level?"
"Let's go, go see your sister!" Jiang Yuan walked away leisurely with his hands in his pockets.
"You're so annoying! I've been helping you with all this for the past few days, and you haven't even said thank you once. But you're so anxious as soon as my sister arrives!" Liu Zhaodi was practically ready to unleash a torrent of curses.
"That's easy! When you become as quiet and gentle as your sister, I'll treat you like royalty every day!"
Jiang Yuan's words echoed in the underground palace after he left.
"Tch, that's just my personality, take it or leave it!" Liu Zhaodi said through gritted teeth, but only after she finished speaking did she realize that everyone had already walked away.
"A man's words are deceitful; you'd be a fool to believe them!"
Liu Zhaodi stamped her foot and then quickly followed.
"Sister Shuangshuang, you're here!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan entered the main hall, he saw the girl in the long dress standing in the middle, Liu Shuangshuang without a doubt!
Liu Shuangshuang wore a light purple dress, simple yet elegant. Her delicate face was made up with a light makeup, and her usually melancholy face rarely showed a smile.
"Jiang Yuan, thank you for last time!" Liu Shuangshuang gave a gentle bow.
"Sister Shuangshuang, you're too kind!" Jiang Yuan nodded.
"Big sister, you must talk to Jiang Yuan for me. You have no idea how much he's been bullying me!" Liu Zhaodi said resentfully as she followed from behind.
