"To be honest, I'm very grateful to the Zhao Family. My experience here over the past six Zhao Family has finally made me realize one thing."
Zhao Mingyue didn't speak, her face was full of bitterness.
She knew that Ling Yi was about to say something unpleasant.
But she had no choice but to endure it.
"Love will only slow down my sword-drawing speed. From now on, I will sever all ties to love and affection, devoting myself solely to cultivation and Guard my country."
I wouldn't even talk about romance, let alone something like that.
In his previous life, Ling Yi realized this truth early on, so he remained a bachelor his entire life.
He sealed away the demon for decades, living a life of great passion and madness, but died quietly and tragically.
When Ling Yi said he wouldn't date, he meant that he wouldn't actively pursue a relationship, but he wouldn't refuse if someone pursued him.
"Brother-in-law!" Zhao Wanru said with heartache.
"Call me 'brother,' not 'brother-in-law.' It reminds me of the cold basement, the slaps I received every day, and the Taunt and humiliation I endured."
[Ding! Zhao Mingyue's Affection +10, current Affection 80, Plot Points +1!]
[Ding! Zhao Wanru's Affection +10, current Affection 140, Plot Points +1!]
"Brother!" Zhao Wanru hugged Ling Yi with a pained expression.
Zhao Wanru was the only one in the Zhao Family who was kind to Ling Yi, and the only one who spoke up for Ling Yi Ling Yi when he was bullied.
However, there wasn't much she could do.
It was precisely because she repeatedly helped Ling Yi that she didn't have a good time in the Zhao Family.
The old man even cut off her bank card and allowance.
The daughter of a multi-million dollar conglomerate only receives a living allowance of one or two thousand yuan per month.
They even have to go out to work or take on part-time jobs in order to make ends meet.
It was precisely because of the high-pressure control exerted by Zhao Tianche in the Zhao Family that the Zhao Family ' thinking was almost completely unified.
The attitude of Old Master Zhao towards Ling Yi determines the attitude of the entire Zhao Family towards Ling Yi.
No one dared to disobey.
The consequence of disobedience is the same as Zhao Wanru's: suppression and marginalization.
"I'm not saying this to complain or anything, but simply to state the facts."
"I am, after all, the Dragon King of the Dragon King's Palace; I'm not that fragile."
Ling Yi's words are utter nonsense.
He didn't want to complain about himself, but he was complaining about the original owner of this body.
Seriously, the original owner of this body had such a tragic life.
But as the saying goes, there's always a reason why someone is pitiful.
The Dragon King was humiliated, which was his own doing. If he had been more assertive in the Zhao Family, he wouldn't have been so gleeful.
However, Ling Yi also knew that the time was almost right.
Continuing further would be going too far.
So he immediately dropped the subject and looked at Zhao Mingyue.
"Mr. Zhao, now that we've met, let's get down to business."
"Let me make this clear: purchasing the Mingyue Building is not aimed at the Zhao Family, nor at you. I'm not that Bored."
" The Mingyue Building, in terms of both location and size, just meets the requirements."
"If you're willing, I can buy it from you for three times the market price; if not, I'll leave immediately."
Zhao Mingyue shook her head.
When they arrived, Zhao Tianche had already spoken: the Mingyue Building could be given to Ling Yi Ling Yi; this was the best opportunity to repair their relationship.
Now, Zhao Tianche is still worried that Ling Yi won't accept him!
If they accept it, there's still Jade Emperor for maneuver; if they don't, that's when things get complicated.
It seems that Zhao Tianche will never dare to sleep again from now on.
" The Mingyue Building can be given to you; this is my grandfather's wish, and it's also my wish!"
"Forget about giving it to me!" Ling Yi waved his hand.
You should definitely try to get something for free, but you can't have the wrong attitude towards it.
He had discussed this matter with Zhao Mingyue, but the specific execution still needed to be handed over to Xuanming.
As for how Xuanming will connect with the Zhao Family next, that's none of Ling Yi's business!
"Brother, please accept it. If you don't, my grandpa probably won't be able to sleep well!" Zhao Wanru said, rubbing against Ling Yi's arm.
Ling Yi tried several times to pull his arm away, but Zhao Wanru held on tightly.
It's as if it's meant to grow on Ling Yi's body.
Ling Yi had no choice but to let it go.
He is neither the original person nor Liu Xiahui.
Although Ling Yi had never been in a relationship in his previous life, he did eat meat.
He's never lacked women around him.
Whether it's just playing along or an exchange of benefits, everyone has their own needs.
Zhao Wanru is already quite chubby; this way of holding her will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.
"This is a matter of principle. Besides, it's not that I want to acquire Mingyue Building; it's that I'm acquiring it in the name of the Dragon King Hall."
Do you really think the Dragon King Hall would take advantage of the Zhao Family for nothing?
"That makes sense. This is terrible. Grandpa probably won't be able to sleep!" Zhao Wanru's words were full of Taunt.
Ling Yi, however, did not take it to heart.
Little girl, you underestimate Zhao Tianche.
That old man is incredibly shrewd; he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!
In the storyline of "The Dragon King Son-in-Law," after the Dragon King reveals his identity, Zhao Tianche tries to curry favor with him by establishing a connection with Dragon King Dragon King Hall.
The Mingyue Building was given to the Dragon King Hall directly as a donation.
I estimate this time will be much the same.
The difference is that in the story of "The Dragon King Son-in-Law," Zhao Mingyue becomes a member of the Dragon King's harem.
In the second playthrough, the villain transmigrates into the book.
Zhao Mingyue became one of the villain Gu Mingxuan's concubines.
Right now, Ling Yi doesn't want a harem; he only wants his younger sister.
"One last question, this is the one Grandpa asked me to ask, you're perfectly free to not answer." Zhao Mingyue already knew Ling Yi's attitude.
But as a powerful businesswoman, Zhao Mingyue has far too many methods to give up the Mingyue Building.
Therefore, I didn't dwell on this matter too much.
"Ask away!"
"My grandfather wants to know, what do you intend to do with the Mingyue Building?"
"Then, do you want to know?" Ling Yi countered.
"Think!"
"Since you want to know, then I'll tell you!"
Ling Yi had no intention of hiding the truth about the Phoenix Pavilion; he was going to use an open strategy.
The purpose of establishing the Phoenix Pavilion was purely to maximize the effectiveness of the cheat system.
It's not really about having Phoenix Pavilion do anything.
Mysterious Yin Sect? As long as Ling Yi is strong enough, any conspiracy or scheme can be slapped away or crippled with a single punch.
This is Ling Yi's style of doing things.
To reiterate, Ling Yi genuinely dislikes using his brain; he prefers to flip tables.
" The Dragon King Hall intends to establish a force composed entirely of women, belonging to the Dragon King Hall's Dragon King Hall but also independent of it."
"As for the purpose of establishing the Phoenix Pavilion, I can only say that it is to deal with the Hidden World sects; I cannot say anything more."
"With your intelligence, I'm sure you can guess something."
Zhao Mingyue frowned as she thought of the Hidden World sect.
Just as I was about to say something, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
"The waiter should be here to serve the food," Zhao Mingyue said.
Then he shouted outside, "Come in!"
The door to the private room was opened.
The first to enter was a stunningly beautiful woman with a tall, alluring figure, her hair styled in an updo, and fair skin, dressed in a long, bright red robe.
Ling Yi clicked his tongue inwardly.
A cheongsam, long legs—she's so alluring, so captivating.
With that image and that appearance, no one would believe she wasn't the female lead!
A name instantly popped into my mind.
Huo Qingyue, the owner of Sincere Dining House and the female lead in the novel " Invincible God of Cookery ".
Another female lead from the "Yue" generation.
[Ding! Huo Qingyue's Affection +40, current Affection 40, Plot Points +3!]
It really was Huo Qingyue.
Is this considered a plot incongruity?
However, a novel is a novel, and the world of a novel is the world of a novel.
This is essentially a hodgepodge of twelve transmigrated villains from different books, so it's not surprising that the female protagonists wander around in all sorts of ways.
Ling Yi glanced at his system interface.
Ling Yi directly used 3 Plot Points to exchange for the remaining three scripts.
At this point, all twelve scripts were complete.
And there are exactly 10 Plot Points points left.
"System, draw one!"
[Ding! 10 Plot Points have been used to activate the Lottery!]
