[Ding! Omniscient and Omnipotent Great Immortal King uploaded "Battle Through the Heavens" to the group files!] [Omniscient and Omnipotent Great Immortal King: @Gu Clan's Strongest Dou Emperor Ling Ying, this records the future of the Dou Qi Continent. This great immortal has divined the first portion for you. If you want me to continue divining the rest, there will be a fee.]
One second after Immortal Wang sent that message, several lines of small blue text popped up in the chat window.
[Ding! First Emperor Qin Shi Huang has downloaded "Battle Through the Heavens"!] [Ding! Never Self-Castrating Yue Buqun has downloaded "Battle Through the Heavens"!] [Ding! Romantic Eunuch Wei Xiaobao has downloaded "Battle Through the Heavens"!]
Before long, all five of the others, including Ling Ying, had downloaded the group file.
When he opened it, the first page displayed a table of contents with only 95 chapters.
According to what Immortal Wang said in the group, a complete divination should have 1,623 chapters. But the rest are paid chapters. If I really want to read them, I'll have to trade something for them.
Ling Ying silently mulled it over, deciding to read these free chapters first before considering a trade.
Began cultivating qi at four, reached ninth stage Dou Qi at ten, became a Dou Zhe at eleven, suffered a regression in cultivation at fifteen...
Isn't this talking about that Xiao Clan brat? Could he be the so-called child of destiny?
After reading just a little of the beginning, Ling Ying completely believed Immortal Wang's claimed identity. Everything that had happened matched the recorded account exactly.
It even detailed how that boy had groped his young lady when she was four.
Few people knew about that incident, and he happened to be one of them.
He was a Dou Huang expert, after all, so naturally he read far faster than an ordinary person.
Soon, Ling Ying reached the chapter about breaking off the engagement.
Here, the plot diverged somewhat.
It said that Nalan Yanran came to break off the engagement, and Xiao Yan, in a fit of fury, wrote her a letter of repudiation and made a three-year agreement with her to wash away his humiliation.
But he had secretly been there that morning. Nalan Yanran had clearly been scheming to marry Xiao Yan, and she had even been the first to propose the three-year agreement.
Though there were some discrepancies, they did not stop him from reading on.
Ling Ying finished all 95 chapters, over two hundred thousand characters, in just half an hour.
He had to admit that this stuff really got its hooks into him. He was already itching to find out what happened next.
Just then, a sound suddenly came from the courtyard.
He looked closely and discovered that the visitor was none other than the Xiao Clan brat, Xiao Yan.
Coming here this late... could he be here to borrow money? To confirm his suspicion, Ling Ying chose to observe from the shadows.
Sure enough, after entering the courtyard, Xiao Yan knocked on his young lady's door.
"Xun'er, are you there?"
"Brother Xiao Yan?" Xiao Xun'er, who had been about to go to bed, hastily threw on a garment and rushed out of her room.
Perhaps she had been in too much of a hurry: her gauzy nightdress peeked through, and the surging waves of her bosom refused to be contained.
Withdrawing his wicked gaze, Xiao Yan gave a dry laugh. Without beating around the bush, he stated the purpose of his visit.
"Xun'er, how much money do you have on hand? Could you lend me some?"
It was his first time asking a girl to lend him money, after all, and his face involuntarily reddened as he spoke.
Perhaps to spare his pride, Xiao Xun'er smiled understandingly. "Brother Xiao Yan, how much do you need?"
