"Loki?" Huda's mind went blank for a moment, but she quickly realized who the Loki that Hanabusa had mentioned must be.
The god of trickery and lies in Norse mythology.
But Loki is a character from Norse mythology! Although his character has become a staple in anime and movies in recent years, this legendary figure has actually been missing for many years, even in legends!
In this degenerate age, divine status has dwindled, the divine realm has lost its worship, and many gods have already perished!
I originally thought that the Nordic lineage was the same, perhaps having disappeared long ago, but unexpectedly I have now received news about them!
However, having news isn't really a big deal, but what's puzzling is why Loki would appear in China!
The current state of China is like a poisonous concoction.
I don't know what's going on, but all sorts of characters from myths and legends in this world seem to have been summoned and are converging on this side.
Not only Hu Da, but even Song Mengmeng, who later learned of the news, was caught off guard.
Good heavens! Before, we only knew that all sorts of monsters were causing trouble in China, but now even gods are popping up.
What's going on here? Is this some kind of competition to determine the most powerful Gu (poisonous insect) in China?
The more Song Mengmeng thought about it, the angrier she became. She was, after all, the guardian spirit of the Chinese nation, yet here she was, being bullied and humiliated like this. This was simply intolerable!
"No matter who it is, even if it's Zeus or Odin who comes to cause trouble on our little piece of land, I'll make sure they regret it!"
Song Mengmeng was genuinely angry.
So what he said at this moment was not only particularly imposing, but also subtly revealed a hint of murderous intent!
Whether they really didn't want to come and gnaw on Song Mengmeng, no one came to complain about Song Mengmeng, even though the news about the pagoda temple spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world.
Song Mengmeng was unaware of the chaos and turmoil outside. Now that she had obtained the next clue to Chi You's corpse, she naturally had no intention of continuing to cause trouble outside. So she stayed in the hotel every day, and together with Hu Da and Yuan Yuan, she compiled and studied all the relevant information she could get her hands on.
Song Mengmeng's leisurely days didn't last long before she received a call from Yao Anna.
Yao Anna sounded somewhat uneasy and even nervous on the phone, but Song Mengmeng managed to understand her meaning despite her disorganized description.
Her father came to their door!
In fact, Yao Anna's father might come to visit. This is a hypothetical scenario that Song Mengmeng had previously mentioned to Yao Anna.
The fact that those people over there would repeatedly try to kill Yao Anna could be attributed to two reasons: firstly, they are ruthless, and secondly, they have been pushed to the limit and have run out of options.
However, such a series of actions would inevitably leave clues and alert the person in charge. If that person is intelligent, a simple investigation would not be difficult to discover Yao Anna's existence.
Originally, Yao Anna thought that this matter might have to wait until she went back to her hometown to check the clues at home before there would be any follow-up, but she didn't expect the other party to come so quickly and come directly to Xijing.
"I want you to come with me."
Yao Anna hesitated on the phone; she hadn't expected that her father would be...
He will be the current head of the Song family, the richest family in Hong Kong.
What surprised her even more was that the head of the Song family, who claimed to be her father's man, had never married! Although he always had a confidante by his side, he was indeed single at the moment.
At least, that's the answer she got from the information she found online.
So for a moment, Yao Anna really didn't know how to face this man!
Before, she harbored a grudge, always feeling that her father was irresponsible, and she even imagined a thousand novels about domineering CEOs and their spoiled wives running away with their babies. But now, things have taken a turn for the better, and she realizes that her father has also had a tough time these past few years...
Anyway, at least they're not married!
Could it be that she's still waiting for her mother?!
“Okay!” Song Mengmeng didn’t refuse. Anyway, it wasn’t a big deal. In fact, because of Yao Anna’s anxiety, she sent a message to Yan Di after hanging up the phone, just to find out about the so-called richest man in Hong Kong.
After all, compared to them who can only get inside information from the internet, Yan Di, who is originally in that circle, should know more about these things.
Emperor Yan replied quickly, along with a document concerning the Song family. Song Mengmeng didn't open it right away; she first sent it to Yao Anna before opening it to read the gossip.
To be honest, the Song family's situation isn't actually that complicated.
It's just the internal strife that happens in every wealthy family. What's complicated here is that the current head of the Song family is not actually born to the previous head's legal wife. To put it bluntly, he is an illegitimate child.
She was also a child who, until the age of twenty-one, had always lived with her mother and only knew her mother, not her father.
Yao Anna's mother was Song Qirui's childhood neighbor before he returned to the Song family. Originally, the two were already at the point of discussing marriage, but the sudden arrival of the Song family ruined everything.
Under normal circumstances, the former patriarch of the Song family, a womanizer with countless lovers, would never have imagined that he had such a son! But the internal strife within the Song family was too chaotic, and both of his sons with his legal wife perished in this conflict.
Internal strife within wealthy families can be described as bloodless murder!
Even if the head of the Song family knew who had killed his children, without concrete evidence, he was powerless to do anything, no matter how angry he was.
He was already quite old then, and wanted another child...
He couldn't even protect his own grown son at this critical moment. Even if he could have another child, how could he guarantee that he could survive in such a den of wolves?!
So, in this desperate situation, the Song family head remembered that he seemed to have an illegitimate child who had been living away from home, the child born to his former secretary and mistress!
In the past, Song Qirui's marriage to Yao Anna's mother could be considered a good match. However, if Song Qirui were to return to the Song family and be recognized by them, even if he were an illegitimate child, he would no longer be someone Yao Anna's mother could aspire to marry into!
