[According to reports, La Niña had brought several forms of severe weather to our city in recent days.]
On the top floor of an office building, Qing Wanglai was showing Meng Zhending around one of his businesses in the chairman's office, proving that he was doing well.
"Li Huowang, you lunatic."
Once again, that man had acted without a shred of logic!
Qing Wanglai covered his right eye. The pain in its nerves was secondary. He had never imagined Li Huowang would sever so completely the connection he had gained to Gushen's Heavenly Dao.
"And Kuitai, Unborn Mother... You traitors."
Qian Fu was still alive. He had just used the Heavenly Dao of Death to extinguish the corruption on Li Huowang, and Unborn Mother had then restored Li Huowang's vitality.

"And yours is a nationwide chain. Good. Very good."
Qing Wanglai smiled faintly, took out a contract printed with the character for "double happiness," and handed it to Meng Zhending.
"Now you can take over the family's Taoist temples without worrying, right? Someone has to carry on the traditions. Cousin, you've seen how busy I really am."
