75 Castle 13
◎The Groom Who Broke His Promise◎
The groom's black pupils contracted as he remembered the agreement he had made with Sang Mian. A complex emotion spread in his heart, the happiness of surviving a disaster and the feeling of being plotted against mixed together. The heartache of losing the castle also stung his heart.
Sang Mian kept smiling: "Can this be called calculation? This is a reasonable use of your abilities to help others, and this is your life, life is more important than anything else."
What calculation? Xiaohong was confused: "What are you talking about."
"Nothing." The groom retracted his gaze and forced a smile at Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, if the castle is gone, would you be willing to live a hard life with me?"
He didn't care, but he was afraid that his beloved Xiaohong would suffer.
Xiaohong touched his head and asked worriedly, "What are you talking about? Are you feeling unwell again?"
Su Cheng's smile became more bitter: "No, I'm serious."
"The castle is gone?" Xiao Hong repeated in disbelief: "Why? Did someone threaten you, or did you sell it?"
Su Cheng shook his head, told Xiaohong the whole story, then lowered his eyes like a child who had done something wrong and waited to be scolded.
Xiaohong was silent for a while after listening to this. "It's actually worth it. In my heart, your life is much more important than the castle." She took Su Cheng's hand and said seriously, "We are all fine, and we will be together forever."
Xia Qing held Sang Mian's hand with envy on her face: "When will sweet love come to me?"
Sang Mian didn't feel anything. Xiaohong and Su Cheng's love was indeed deep, but that didn't affect her incomprehension of giving up one's life for love.
Xiao Hong looked back at Sang Mian and smiled sweetly: "Good sister, thank you."
At this moment, the reminder sound of the mission end rang in the minds of all players.
[Side quest: The bride Xiaohong recalls the harm done to her by her mortal enemy Lanlan and becomes very angry and decides to take revenge on Lanlan. Please help Xiaohong fulfill her wish.]
【Rewards are being distributed...】
[500 million ghost money and Xiao Hong’s gift, players can check it out by themselves]
Everyone was very curious about Xiaohong's gift, and after the reward was successfully distributed, everyone opened the backpack as soon as possible.
"Another scratch ticket!" Xia Qing whispered, "Xiaohong is quite generous."
Sang Mian nodded with satisfaction. This time it was really worth it. Not only did they get the castle, but they also got an extra scratch card. They had one more trump card in their hands.
"Xiao Sang, what are you going to do with this troublesome patient?" The vice president asked at the right time: "Should we throw him out?"
"No, I have my own plans."
The dean’s identity was very powerful, and Sang Mian easily arranged the heart transplant surgery.
Jiang Jing and the other two felt relieved when they learned that the matter had been settled. Due to Su Cheng's surgery time, they could only return to the castle tomorrow.
The operation was scheduled for the evening. Su Cheng and Lan Lan were pushed into the operating room at the same time. Xiao Hong was waiting outside alone. When Su Cheng was pushed out, her eyes were filled with tears.
The next day, Su Cheng and everyone else got on the bus back to the castle.
This time it was not an ambulance, but a black business car arranged by the vice president. Xia Qing sighed comfortably while sitting in the chair: "As for what it's like to have a friend who is the dean, the word 'awesome' is enough!"
Bai Tang: "What about Lan Lan?"
Xiaohong held Su Cheng's hand and said, "Of course she reaped what she sowed. I don't intend to torture her anymore. Let her reflect on herself at the end of her life."
Sang Mian suddenly felt confused. Su Cheng’s Gui Qi value had been decreasing because he had lost his heart, but his heart transplant surgery had been completed yesterday. Why was his Gui Qi value getting lower and lower?
She asked directly, and Su Cheng said calmly: "It takes time for the body to recover."
Sang Mian said, "No wonder." She then asked Xiao Hong, "Lan Lan's guiqi value is lower than yours, how can you fall into her hands?"
Xiao Hong raised her head proudly: "We were originally equally strong, but my sister is no pushover. She was seriously injured by me, so her Gui Qi value dropped a lot."
The four female players looked at each other in silence and slept together all the way until they returned to the castle and were woken up by Gao Shuo.
The castle was cleaned spotlessly. It seemed that the strange cleaners did not slack off during the day they were away. Sang Mian gathered all the cleaners together and gave them the last task.
"We'll spend the whole day decorating the castle into a wedding venue today."
Some people expressed dissatisfaction: "Why? We are here to be cleaners, this is another job."
Sang Mian curled his lips and said, "I'll pay everyone's salary plus 100 million ghost coins."
The scene suddenly fell silent. A few seconds later, the strange cleaner, smiling brighter than a flower, took his tools and went to decorate the castle.
Gao Shuo covered his eyes with envy: "So this is the power of money! When will I have so much money?"
As the president, Sang Mian would not miss any opportunity to recruit guild members. She looked at Gao Shuo and Zeng Fan in an unfathomable way and said, "There is an opportunity to make money in the underworld in front of you now. Do you want to listen?"
Gao Shuo and Zeng Fan nodded in unison.
Sang Mian smiled and said, "Join the No Coriander Guild! Not only will we not charge you any membership fees, we will also pay you a salary~ Opportunities are rare, young people must know how to seize opportunities."
In Gao Shuo and Zeng Fan's eyes, Sang Mian seemed to be covered by a filter, and looked exactly like the image of a wealthy aunt in her 50s throwing money at a young man on the Internet. What was even more real was that they were crazy about Sang Mian's proposal!
This is a real rich woman! Super rich! Whether in real time or in a weird game, the temptation of money is always huge.
Gao Shuo struggled and turned his head: "Give me some time to think about it." A man must have backbone! He glanced at Zeng Fan who was unmoved. Zeng Fan's eyes were firm, and he must be a man of backbone.
The next second Zeng Fan slid and hugged Sang Mian's thighs: "Rich woman, is that really the case?"
Sang Mian patted his chest proudly: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold!"
Gao Shuo: "?" Brother, did you agree too quickly? What about your integrity as a man?
Zeng Fan gave Gao Shuo a look, as if to say: You don't even agree to this? Are you stupid?
Gao Shuo laughed dryly: "I just thought about it and decided to join the Guild of Those Who Don't Eat Coriander." As for his backbone, he already had it.
Tomorrow’s wedding is the last day of the dungeon, and Xiaohong and Su Cheng have invited all players to dinner on their last single night.
In the largest living and dining room in the castle, everyone raised their glasses and cheered. Everyone had a smile on their face, especially Xiaohong, who smiled the brightest.
Xia Qing held up the cup and said, "Everyone, please say a word of blessing! I'll go first. I wish the bride and groom to be in love with each other forever!"
Bai Tang pursed her lips lightly: "Then I wish you two will be together forever and love each other."
Jiang Jing, Zeng Fan and Gao Shuo could never have imagined that they would be eating at the same table in such a strange way. They suddenly felt as if they were in another world, as if the people in front of them were not scary man-eating monsters, but ordinary people like them.
Xia Qing poked Jiang Jing's arm and said, "What are you guys staring at? Are you not educated enough to express yourself?"
Sang Mian and the others burst into laughter. Jiang Jing reacted and pretended to be angry and pouted: "Who are you calling uneducated? I graduated from a prestigious university!" She took a deep breath: "The orchid boat was tied yesterday, and the silk vine is tied today. The fairy couple has two deep true hearts. Today, they share a warm and beautiful dream, and tomorrow they will fly together. Congratulations on your wedding and wish you a long-lasting marriage."
Sang Mian raised his eyebrows, what he said was indeed very sophisticated.
Gao Shuo was rather nervous, and his hand holding the cup turned slightly pale: "May you two love each other deeply, be loyal to each other, and have everlasting love in this life, and may your love grow day by day!" After saying that, he sat down immediately.
Zeng Fan scratched his head: "I am not well educated, so I wish you a happy marriage and a long life together."
The last one was Sang Mian. Sang Mian smiled helplessly: "You guys have already said everything, what else can I say? So I prepared a red envelope for the young couple."
The whole audience exclaimed, Xia Qing winked at Sang Mian and said, "You are amazing. You even prepared the red envelope without telling us." She sighed as she spoke, "It's good to have money. You don't even have to think of a blessing."
Sang Mian took out the red envelope that he had prepared long ago from his pocket: "Don't think it's too little, it's just a little token of your appreciation."
Xiaohong took the red envelope. She knew from the thickness of the red envelope on her fingertips that there was a lot of money stuffed inside. She covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, "I'm sorry to have let my sister spend money."
"It's not expensive, it's what I deserve." Sang Mian looked around the castle with satisfaction. Compared with the castle, this little money is nothing. All he can say is - it's totally worth it!
But why hasn't she received the notification that the castle belongs to her?
Sang Mian sensed something was wrong, so she clicked on the identity skills on the game panel, and only then did she realize that the transaction had failed.
The four big words "Transaction Failed" on the panel appeared clearly in her mind. A thousand alpacas ran through Sang Mian's mind. She raised her eyes and looked towards Su Cheng. Could it be that this weird creature had some props that could block her identity skills?
Su Cheng smiled back at her.
Sang Mian was furious. This was the first time she had been tricked! The food on the table suddenly lost its flavor. She was about to slam the table and question Su Cheng, but when she happened to meet Xiao Hong's smiling eyes, she withdrew her action.
Xiaohong's ghost energy value is 60 points, and Su Cheng's is now 50 points*. It is easy for the two ghosts to strangle them to death.
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head, but Sang Mian could no longer stay in the restaurant. She fiercely pulled a chicken off the table and took it away.
Everyone else at the table was stunned.
Xia Qing was eating so much that her mouth was full of oil: "What's wrong with Sister Sang?"
Bai Tang was also confused: "I don't know, she left very suddenly."
Jiang Jing thought of something bad: "Is there something wrong with the dungeon mission?"
Bai Tang thought for a moment and then shook his head: "No, if there is a problem, Mianmian will definitely tell us. She is not the kind of person who likes to keep things to herself."
Xiaohong slowly stood up from the main seat. Without Sang Mian's presence, the others were still very scared when facing the weirdness alone, of course, excluding Bai Tang and Xia Qing.
"Is my sister feeling unwell?" Xiaohong said after a long silence.
Xia Qing quickly wiped her greasy mouth and said, "It's possible!" Then she shook her head and yelled in dismay, "No! She also took away the only roast chicken! My favorite roast chicken! She didn't leave any for me!"
Seeing Xia Qing embarrassed in front of everyone, Bai Tang immediately stuffed a big shrimp into her mouth.
"We've almost finished eating, let's go back and rest." Bai Tang pulled Xia Qing and hurriedly left the restaurant.
The remaining players felt as if there were nails pricking them under their stools, so they said goodbye and left in a hurry. Only Su Cheng and Xiao Hong were left in the huge restaurant, looking at each other in bewilderment.
In the room, Sang Mian gnawed the roast chicken with gritted teeth, "Damn Su Cheng! Liar! Big liar!" She swallowed a big mouthful of meat, "You don't want to give me the castle, right! Wait until I finish the copy and bring people to buy the castle by force!"
She thought of the red envelopes specially prepared for Su Cheng and Xiao Hong: "Damn it, I lost so much money! Ahhh! Give the money back to me!"
Sang Mian was unable to vent his anger. When Bai Tang and Xia Qing opened the door, they saw Sang Mian frantically gnawing on a roast chicken and mumbling something.
