“Big brother, you are back. Dinner tonight? Alright.” Ren Wannian was pleasantly surprised to receive the call. During this period, his brother disappeared without any notice and reappeared once every ten days to half a month. Ren Baqian didn’t answer his phone and also disregarded the affairs of the martial arts centers.
At long last, he was finally available.
As Ren Wannian put the phone down, he thought about his girlfriend who seemed to have a big misunderstanding about his older brother.
However, things couldn’t continue this way! After all, one was his girlfriend and the other was his dear brother! He needed to think of a way to resolve this misunderstanding.
Both were in Shanghai now, so they couldn’t keep avoiding each other.
He wondered whether he should bring his girlfriend tonight so as to allow her to have more contact with his brother and get to know him better.
At this point, he decided to give Zhou Qingyun a call and asked, “Qingyun, I’m having dinner at my brother’s place tonight. Do you want to come along?”
“I don’t want to go!” Zhou Qingyun didn’t even hesitate to reject. Having been there once was enough as that location was like a gathering place for a gang.
Although she didn’t know who was backing them, it wasn’t beneficial to get too close to them in this type of society.
“Qingyun, you have misunderstood…” Ren Wannian explained for a long time before he managed to convince her.
“Alright.” Zhou Qingyun yielded to the persuasion of Ren Wannian. Although she wouldn’t change her point of view, she would make the trip there since Ren Wannian was her boyfriend after all.
“I will inform my brother and accompany you to go clothes shopping in a while.” Ren Wannian was happy to see her relent.
“I can’t go now because I’m still at work. I’m not as free as you are and am still at my internship. Come and pick me up tonight.” Zhou Qingyun said.
“Okay.”
“It’s your boyfriend again?” A little girl behind Zhou Qingyun laughed.
“Yeah, I’m going to his brother’s place for dinner tonight,” Zhou Qingyun said casually.
“Your boyfriend’s family is very rich. What does his brother do? Does he have a girlfriend?” The girl immediately started probing.
“Not bad… His brother… I’m not sure what he does, but he has a girlfriend who is prettier than any movie star,” Zhou Qingyun said. The image of that lady in red floated into her mind—she even looked stunning to a woman.
Zhou Qingyun soon started to think about that brother of Ren Wannian’s and reacted by shaking her head.
“She’s teasing the two of you. This is bone from a cow!” Weighing more than 150 kilograms and possessing a face that occasionally emitted murderous intent, Ren Baqian had used two fingers to hold that piece of bone while saying these words casually. This was what she still remembered even now.
She had checked the internet many times after that and confirmed that it was definitely a bone from a human skull.
However, that place seemed to possess great influence. It was obvious that lives had been lost in the villa and that it was full of weapons, yet nobody cared.
Zhou Qingyun firmly believed that even if he really was part of a government organization, such words and deeds weren’t morally right and it was better not to interact with him.
Ren Wannian put the phone down, happily spun around twice, and called Ren Baqian.
It wasn’t a problem for Ren Baqian as he didn’t have much of an impression of her. He had met her only once, didn’t pay her much attention, and had almost forgotten about her.
He just knew her to be his brother’s girlfriend, so bringing her to dinner was fine.
“Wannian will be here for dinner tonight,” Ren Baqian told the empress after hanging up the phone.
“Oh.” The empress was lounging on the sofa and threw the phone to Ren Baqian. “I want to see ‘A Record of Han Paopao’s Journey to Immortality.’ I have seen six episodes and like it very much.”
Ren Baqian sat beside the empress and said, “The actress playing the role of Nangong Wan is too ugly. Those who don’t have your features can’t be considered as outstanding beauties.”
“Am I very beautiful?” The empress tilted her head to look at Ren Baqian and fluttered her eyes.
“The most beautiful in the world!” Ren Baqian affirmed. “Besides the empress, no one else deserves this title.”
The empress purred with delight.
“Cultivating to become an immortal is interesting. Is there anyone on Earth doing this?” the empress asked curiously.
Initially, Ren Baqian didn’t think so, but he suddenly thought of a monk in the northern region and changed his reply, saying, “Probably, but it’s definitely not like the stuff that is depicted in the TV shows.”
“Do you think these immortals can defeat me?” the empress asked enthusiastically.
“With your strength, you should at least be at the Jindan class even when classified in the fictional categories. One step above that is the Yuanying level. Even in the immortal realm, you would be an outstanding superhero!” Ren Baqian said carefully.
“However, the cultivation world isn’t the same as what is shown on television. Otherwise, Earth would have been finished. Therefore, Your Majesty is at the level of an outstanding hero in the immortal realm, admired by hundreds of millions.”
“I would like to experience it.” The empress threw herself on the sofa again. She yearned for the magnificent cultivation environment shown on television.
A short while later, he found the television series for the empress and went up to the second floor to get some ice cream and snacks before bringing them downstairs.
“Your Majesty, open your mouth!” Ren Baqian held an ice cream bar by the stick and dangled it above her forehead.
“Ahh.”
Gulp.
The empress opened her mouth, swallowed the ice cream bar, and spat out the stick.
“Eating it too fast will chill the stomach,” Ren Baqian said out of concern.
“I’m not scared!” The empress kept her eyes on the cell phone, then suddenly sat up, pulled Ren Baqian by the collar, and said, “Watch the show with me.”
“Sure!” Ren Baqian smiled.
Oh, this sofa could only hold one person. If it were to seat two people… it would be a bit tight, but it would be wonderful.
“I will lie on the sofa and you lie on the ground. This way both of us can watch.” The empress dragged Ren Baqian to the ground, fell on the sofa, and held the cell phone with one hand.
Ren Baqian put one hand behind his head and leaned against the sofa. He glanced at the cell phone and then directed his gaze at one side of her face.
Time passed and Ren Baqian murmured, “Seeing it for a lifetime isn’t enough!”
“What?” The empress tilted her head and looked at him from the corner of her eye.
“Seeing your profile for a lifetime isn’t enough.” Ren Baqian touched the corner of her eye with his finger and drew an arch to her chin.
The feeling was the same as touching jade.
“If you one day no longer feel like looking at me, I will bury you under the palace.” The voice of the empress was filled with inexplicable feelings.
“I want to look at you for 10,000 years!” Ren Baqian smiled.
“Very well. I will let you,” the empress said tenderly.
…
“My brother is a very good guy, so don’t speculate too much. He’s opening proper martial arts centers, and you have been to one.” Ren Wannian was in the car with Zhou Qingyun and trying to put in some good words for his brother.
“Okay, I see. No need to say anymore.” Zhou Qingyun covered her head. The martial arts centers were proper, but the people there aren’t decent!
The two of them drove up to Sheshan and saw more than ten round balls on the courtyard grounds when they went through the gate.
“What are these? Flower pots?” Ren Wannian asked casually before laughing. Then, his voice cut off, his eyes widened, and he was frightened as he stepped on the brakes.
Those things on the ground weren’t flower pots, they were human heads…
Those heads turned to look at him fiercely and said, “Kid, be careful!”
In the dark, the courtyard was filled with more than 10 heads on the ground that could even turn and speak… This scene caused Ren Wannian to shiver from the base of his spine to the back of his head.
“Heads… Heads…” Zhou Qingyun opened her mouth, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
