The Live-in Son-in-Law Gets Engaged

She picked out three antiques, pieces of jewelry, and paintings from the Yu Family that she had seen in Yu Xunhuan's hands in her previous life—these three were highly likely to mutate into equipment or items—and stuffed the rest directly into her backpack before making a trip to Harbor City.

That place was a chaotic mix of every sort of person. No one knew her there, and the influence of the Su, Han, and Liang families was useless there as well.

After arriving in Harbor City, she consigned everything to an underground auction house. The commission was a little steep, but it specialized in auctioning off shady goods. The buyers knew what they were getting into, and most would keep their purchases hidden away rather than flaunting them everywhere.

There was too much stuff. She had to wait for appraisals, wait for the auctions, and find someone to exchange the proceeds for gold. It was incredibly troublesome for an individual to exchange for large amounts of gold. Both cops and criminals might be waiting to catch her. Sometimes she had to watch out for stings; other times, when someone targeted her, she had to kill them and clean up the evidence...

Several times, she had only resolved the crisis with firearms and explosives made through engineering. This stuff really was useful!

Yu Xunge left S City in mid-April and stayed busy until late May. Only after every antique and piece of jewelry had been sold did she return to S City with more than 3,200 pounds of gold in her game backpack and 800 million Hong Kong dollars in her Harbor City account.

Throughout that time, she kept her detection item equipped, yet she did not encounter a single player.

More than 3,200 pounds of gold could be exchanged for over 5,000 gold coins, even at the goblins' extortionate post-invasion prices.

If all went smoothly, not only would she no longer have to worry about learning profession recipes, she could even buy some skill books at the game auction house.

This game had no class system. Neither other races nor Blue Star humans had fixed skills. Players merely divided themselves into broad categories, such as healers, agility types, casters, melee fighters, ranged fighters, and so on. Everyone's core was their own divine-given talent, and every skill was chosen to complement that talent.

Of course, there were also those chaotic, do-whatever-you-want freeform builds, where people learned whatever they happened to find and somehow ended up using it pretty well.

Yu Xunge had not touched her own fifty million yet.

She planned to first see how much gold she could exchange for, then decide what to do with the remaining money.

During this time, Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo searched for her everywhere. Yu Xunge simply said she was traveling in Italy and worried that she would lose her life before she finished spending her money, leaving them speechless.

She could not figure out why those two wanted her back. Did the live-in son-in-law's family really get a say in the engagement?

In the days before June 1, Yu Xunge bought all sorts of odds and ends, from appliances to alcohol and food. When she dragged a cart full of deliveries back to the villa, the security guard asked whether the apocalypse was coming.

Yu Xunge could only say that she had just moved in and the house was empty, then sent him away.

After the game's invasion, not only would food, clothing, housing, and transportation not be scarce, they would become even more abundant. There was absolutely no need to stockpile supplies.

By the day Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan officially got engaged, her game inventory was only half full.

Yu Xunge put on very light makeup and wore a proper, understated blue casual suit. When she arrived at the hotel, she clearly saw the satisfaction in Su Yitong's eyes.

Female rivalry alert!!

How much of an idiot did she have to be to think her boyfriend's biological older sister would like her boyfriend?!

Yu Xunge smiled and shook hands with her future sister-in-law. After setting down her gift money and exchanging a few polite pleasantries, she went inside to find Yu Qingshan and the others.

She felt like she barely recognized Yu Xunhuan anymore. How long had it been? He had gone from a shy, bashful puppy to a gloomy puppy.

It was only half gone! Was it really such a big deal?

What greed!

Still, the Yu Family genes were strong. He was actually prettier now that he was gloomy.

But that worked out nicely in a live-in son-in-law story too. Su Yitong's eyes practically lit up whenever she looked at Yu Xunhuan.

Although Yu Xunge had been a celebrity for many years, everyone present was either a wealthy young lady or an affluent matron. Even when someone recognized Yu Xunge, no one came over to greet her. Yu Xunge was happy for the peace and quiet. She had truly grown tired of killing people in Harbor City.

For a while, she really did not want to kill anyone else.

Perhaps killing so many people had changed Yu Xunge's temperament. She used to have the gentle, tender aura of a white moonlight. Now, dressed in a suit as she walked in, she radiated the air of someone who was definitely up to no good.

Yu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and studied her for a while, then leaned close and asked gently, "Why have you changed so much lately? Did something happen? Tell Dad."

Yu Xunge answered without hesitation. "I met a mafia boyfriend in Italy and ran wild with him for over half a month. Isn't that cool?"

Yu Qingshan: "..." He treated such an obvious joke as nothing more than a joke.

Yu Xunge cupped a hand beside her mouth and whispered, "I got hold of a gun. A real one." She had picked it up after killing someone—seventeen guns of all kinds, plus ammunition. It was a pity she had not wiped out their hideout. Her firepower had not been enough, and she did not dare charge in with a body of flesh and blood. She would take another look once she had some skills.

That one was probably true. Yu Qingshan pressed his lips together. "Give it to Dad later. Dad will keep it for you. That thing is illegal."

Oh, so you wanted it, but you had to call it illegal. If I got caught, would you go to prison for me?

On the surface, Yu Xunge obediently replied, "Okay. I'll listen to Dad."

The engagement banquet was the Su Family's stage. The Yu Family members behaved like quails, and there was not even a segment for them to speak onstage. Yu Xunge glanced at Yu Qingshan's expression. Mm, he still looked like a refined, handsome professor.

As for Yi Qiuguo, although she occasionally lost her temper at home, she had given birth to a stunning beauty like Yu Xunge and a little eunuch like Yu Xunhuan, so she naturally did not look bad herself. When she quietly smiled, she was still quite convincing.

Yu Xunge lowered her head and ate while considering how to make Yu Xunhuan miss the second closed beta. She intended to tell Yu Xunhuan about the game after participating in the second closed beta, then wait with him for the vague and uncertain third closed beta.

Give him hope, then make him despair.

The first closed beta had been too rushed, and she had lacked the ability back then, so she had handled things too crudely. The second closed beta naturally had to go more smoothly, worthy of her current abilities.

She did not want Yu Xunhuan to have another accident at the Yu Family. Otherwise, with that little bastard's habit of immediately suspecting the women in the house whenever something happened to him, would that not make it easy for her to get exposed?

Yet given Yu Xunhuan's current condition, he was probably still practicing his techniques and was not qualified to move into the Su Family home yet.

A live-in son-in-law missing half his dick—when the two of them hugged, no one would know who was supposed to call whom wife.

Yu Xunge did not think of a solution until she left the estate.

Thanks to her many years on the run, she knew quite a few fellow escapees. There was a small shop that took private jobs, still dealing only in cash. She had them hire several young men and women to go to the Yu Family home and play Yu Xunhuan's obsessive fans, asking why he had gotten married without telling everyone, telling them to be as unreasonable and hysterical as possible.

She also killed a little sparrow and used the [Only the Dead Will Obey] skill to control it, sending it to keep watch outside the Yu Family's windows.

They started showing up on the 2nd. They did not even last until Yu Xunge's Plan B before Yu Xunhuan moved to a nearby hotel on the night of the 4th.

That same night, she used an unregistered phone card bought in Harbor City to call someone she had met while purchasing gold there. She gave that person Yu Xunhuan's phone number, WeChat, and even email address, telling him that starting the next morning, he was to send pornographic messages to this person around the clock for the next month. He was to have people add him as a friend and ask whether he was into hookups, then list his phone number at a gay bar.

From that day onward, Yu Xunhuan's phone became a horny-phone.

The second closed beta would begin at 6:06 on June 6.

At 3:00 a.m. on the 6th, Yu Xunge, using a disguise skill, arrived outside the hotel. She turned into a nearby narrow alley, drank an intermediate invisibility potion while standing in a surveillance blind spot, then entered the hotel and climbed the stairs all the way to the twenty-seventh floor, where Yu Xunhuan was staying.
