Emperatrices transmigradas (hombres y mujeres) - Capítulo 31
"Wow! It's a miracle! Martial Uncle actually said ten words at once!" Ling'er counted on her fingers.
"Brother Chang is indeed extraordinary!" Chun Yuan and Yi Lin said at the same time. This time, it was definitely not their junior sister making a fuss over nothing. This senior uncle would never speak more than five words normally.
"Hey, these are my senior brothers Yi Lin and Chun Yuan. They're both level one hunters," Ling'er continued, introducing them.
"Brother Chang, greetings." Chun Yuan said, clasping his hands in greeting.
"Brother Chunyuan, your spiritual power is so strong, I really admire you." Chang Xiao was secretly surprised. Chunyuan's spiritual power was second only to Elder Jidian, which was truly remarkable.
Upon hearing this, Chun Yuan scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, not at all..." He looked embarrassed; he had always been a very shy person.
"Brother Chang, what do you think of my junior sister? She's one of the most notorious villains in our Hunter Group!" Yi Lin joked.
"Hehe, it's alright. As the saying goes, habit becomes second nature. I've known her for so long, it's become second nature." Chang Xiao smiled at Ling'er.
"Senior Brother Yi Lin!!!" Ling'er darted to Yi Lin at lightning speed and reached out to tickle him. Yi Lin was fearless, but he was afraid of being tickled!
The two chased each other around the house, jumping and leaping about for quite a while.
Everyone sat around in the living room, and Chang Xiao recounted Qing Luo's case again. Elder Ji Dian and the others also believed that the person who killed Qing Luo and the person who attacked the hunter were the same person. Although the methods were different, the ultimate goal was the same—to obtain spiritual power!
"Sigh! Really, what kind of person is this? What does he need such powerful spiritual energy for?" Ling'er really couldn't figure it out.
"With powerful spiritual energy, you'll possess immense strength, and then you'll be able to get whatever you want effortlessly," Chang Xiao explained.
"Yeah, you can even sneak around and steal some cosmetics or something," Hu Yi muttered.
"Idiot! Of course, we should sneak away and steal some good food! Don't you humans always say that eating and drinking is a win-win situation?" Eighteen said smugly.
"Idiot! Besides being vain and eating you two, what else do you have to do?" Kuang Ao glanced at Hu Yi and Shiba from the side, then raised his head and said smugly, "Of course, I'll go and check out the lifestyles of those famous online writers! Like Zhuang Qin, Sanwu, and of course, Cherry and Snowbird, and of course, Lotus Bud Boss..." Kuang Ao felt three murderous auras coming from different directions. He wanted to escape, but it was too late!
*……#·@!$*$~^%
Ling'er dusted herself off and sat back down in her original spot. Hu Yi took out a small mirror and tidied his slightly messy long hair. Shi Ba gave Kuang Ao a final kick to the butt and said, "I can let you off the hook if you treat us to dinner tomorrow!"
"555555555 I'm just a demon servant, and you all bully me like this! It's so humiliating! I think there's no point in living anymore!"
"Here you go!" Elder Jidian tossed the watermelon knife from the coffee table over.
"I have my own!" Kuang Ao cried as he pulled nail clippers from his pocket and placed them under his neck.
With a thud and a crash, Chun Yuan and Yi Lin fell off their chairs.
Chang Xiao, who had long been accustomed to this scene, lit a cigarette by himself, and exhaled bluish smoke from his mouth.
"So this is all you're capable of! I really overestimated you!" A disdainful voice rang out from behind the curtains across the street. Since things went so smoothly, he was the next target! "Senior Brother Chunyuan, don't leave! I'll have Hu Yi and the others sleep on the living room floor!" Ling'er tugged at Chunyuan and Yi Lin's arms. Since they were both Level 1 Hunters, they were constantly on missions. The Hunter King senior brother had once told her privately that it would be a disservice to him not to exploit them properly, which made Ling'er quite lonely at headquarters, only able to amuse herself with Mengmeng! Now that they had finally met again, how could she bear to let them go back to the hotel?
"Don't forget that Mengmeng and his girlfriend will be coming back to you soon!" Yi Lin actually wanted to stay here more than anyone else. He had just secretly used the Six Lines Divination method to predict the girl's fortune and found that she was extremely unlucky in gambling. He was sure to win big today, but since his Uncle Jidian had a cold face, he couldn't express his opinion.
"By the way, why didn't Mengmeng come back with you?" Ling'er asked.
"Don't people go for romantic walks under the flowers and moon?" Hu Yi chimed in.
Ling'er thought about it and agreed; Mengmeng and Tingting must be very happy together right now.
"Ling'er, be good! Your senior brother has something to do tonight." Chun Yuan genuinely wanted to stay and keep her company, after all, it had been more than three years since they last met, but he really had important things to do that night.
"What's wrong?" Ling'er tugged at his sleeve, refusing to let it go.
Chang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Ling'er's relationship with the Hunter Headquarters was very close. He had never understood why she was a hunter in every life. Was there some kind of connection between them? But what was it? The last time he and the wolf broke into the Hunter Headquarters, he wanted to find out the truth about her six lifetimes, but he found nothing.
"I...I..." Chun Yuan stammered for a long time, his face turning red again. He was really bad at keeping things from everyone.
"What? You have something to do tonight? How come I didn't know? Are you going to..." Yi Lin chuckled, looking at Chun Yuan with ill intent. Even Hu Yi, who was arrogant, secretly glanced at him a few times. Only Shi Ba stood there dumbfounded, wondering why everyone was laughing together.
“Let’s go!” Elder Swift Lightning said.
"Uncle-Master!" Ling'er decided to first defeat Elder Jidian.
Elder Jidian frowned, deeply regretting that he had spoken out earlier. Now, he had brought trouble upon himself.
"Ling'er, Elder Jidian and the others must have a reason to go back." Chang Xiao stepped forward and embraced her.
Elder Jidian nodded gratefully to Chang Xiao, then took a deep breath. Although Yi Lin always managed to spout nonsense, he had said one thing that was absolutely right! Ling'er truly was one of the most wicked women in the Hunter Group! A demon!
Watching Elder Jidian and the others gradually shrink in size, Changxiao murmured, "The spiritual power of Chunyuan is so strong."
Ling'er nestled in Chang Xiao's arms, inhaling his breath, and felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. The bright moonlight bathed them both, as if shrouding them in a white veil.
“Of course, he has been very hardworking since he was a child. Unlike Senior Brother Yi Lin.” Ling’er closed her eyes. She liked being led by him like this. Even if she didn’t know if the road ahead would be smooth, as long as she had his shoulder, she was not afraid of anything.
"You really enjoy being a hunter, don't you?" Chang Xiao didn't want to break the tranquility, but he really wanted to know the truth.
“Of course, don’t forget, I’ve been following Master since I was three years old, and of course, my eldest brother too. Why would you ask that?” She looked up at his face, which was within reach, in confusion.
"Nothing, I was just curious why you're a hunter." She's a hunter, and Hunter Headquarters always steps in to stop them.
"Is there anything wrong with me being a hunter? Why are you all acting so strangely?" Ling'er recalled the unusual teardrops from not long ago.
"You? Who are you referring to?" Chang Xiao held her hand tightly.
"Of course it's Pearl! Ever since she went to see that so-called God, she's been just like Eighteen, slow to react, and she even muttered to herself, 'No wonder I'm a hunter!' When I asked her, she wouldn't say anything!" Ling'er complained.
"She's met the God Lord???" Chang Xiao vaguely realized something. If it was really as he thought, then it wouldn't be surprising if she were a hunter. But how could he not sense his presence? And how could he abandon everything there…
"Of course, I wonder if Pearl has finished her duel with the Wolf King yet. Those two guys..." She was completely oblivious to Chang Xiao's strange behavior, still keeping her eyes closed, greedily inhaling his unique scent.
My phone rang; it was Mengmeng.
When Ling'er left his embrace, the spot where she had just leaned against felt a little cool, and Chang Xiao frowned, as if he had lost something.
"Senior sister..." came a disappointed voice from the other end.
"Mengmeng? What's wrong?" Ling'er's heart jumped. Mengmeng was always very optimistic.
"Tingting...Tingting is gone..."
"What? What happened to Tingting?" Ling'er asked. It was very noisy over there; it seemed Mengmeng was at a bar.
"She left. She...said we...should never have been together!"
Are you drunk? Tell me where you are.
"I'm not drunk... Senior sister, you... don't know! I can... drink two jin of baijiu! What... what is this?" Mengmeng said, her tongue slurring.
Just as Ling'er was about to say something, she heard a beeping sound coming from the other end.
The call was disconnected.
"What's wrong with Mengmeng?" Chang Xiao asked as she took off her coat and draped it over Ling'er.
"It seems like they had a fight! Honestly, they were fine when we went out."
"Forget it, let them handle their own affairs." The October night breeze was a bit chilly, and Ling'er shivered even though she was wearing his coat.
"But Mengmeng is drunk! No! I have to go find him!"
"Do you know where he is?" Chang Xiao pulled her back. He could never change his temper. He smiled affectionately and smoothed the strands of hair that were hanging from the corner of her mouth.
"I have no idea……"
Just then, the phone rang again.
"Mengmeng! Tell me where you are, or I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
"Who is Mengmeng? Why are you so fierce? Are you trying to scare this old man to death?" It was actually Zhang Guoqiang.
"God of Wealth, it's you? I thought it was my junior brother! This guy broke up with his girlfriend and went to a bar to drown his sorrows!"
"So that's how it is! Young people these days..."
"Didn't you say you were busy with business out of town?" Ling'er knew he was also worried about the case, so she teased him.
"Little girl, are you mocking me again?"
"Oh, not at all, you're my lucky charm. But I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm still at a loss," Ling'er sighed.
"Sigh! This is the most difficult one I've ever encountered."
"Don't be discouraged, there's always a way!"
"Once I'm done with this part, I'll definitely continue the investigation."
"kindness!"
It took Teardrop and the Wolf King two hours to find a deserted place. "Doghead, I hope you don't run away again this time! Humph!" Teardrop remembered that the two of them had fought several times before, but the Wolf King would always leave in a huff! This made Teardrop despise him from the bottom of her heart, which is why she sneered at him whenever she saw him.
"Run away? You really think I'm afraid of you?" The Wolf King snorted. This girl always used all her strength in a fight. How could he, with his pride and arrogance, run away out of fear? He just knew that once both of them unleashed their full power, there wouldn't be any living creature left within a five-mile radius. It wasn't a real fight to the death, so the Wolf King always withdrew at just the right moment.
"What else could you be if not afraid? Don't tell me you're just being lenient with me!" What Teardrop couldn't stand most was his self-righteous attitude.
"Would I let you? I'm afraid of hurting innocent people!" the wolf king blurted out.
Tears welled up in her eyes. His words made sense. If the two of them were to kill someone simply because they wanted to compete, their master would surely blame her. In her memory, he was cold and ruthless, but she never expected him to have such a meticulous side. Her dislike for him lessened by half. She thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't we just set up a barrier?"
"How could I not have thought of that? I'm so stupid!" For the first time, Teardrop didn't refute his words, which caught the Wolf King off guard.
"How could that be? You're much smarter than me!" The atmosphere around them was no longer as tense as before.
Thus, the Wolf King and Teardrop, sworn enemies who had fought for hundreds of years, cooperated peacefully for the first time—setting up a protective barrier. Little did they know that this momentous collaboration would nearly cost several lives a few hours later. "Tingting… I knew you were deliberately… avoiding me… saying it was for my own good! If you really cared about me…" Cai Meng shook the empty wine bottle and shouted, "Handsome… give me five more bottles!" The waiter, clearly new to the scene, blushed upon hearing the customer's address.
It was already past 2 a.m., and there were hardly any people left in the bar. All that remained were drunk and heartbroken people. No wonder, who would come here to get drunk for no reason?
"If you really care about me, why don't you... see me? Do you... know that I'm living a life worse than death?" Cai Meng wiped his face, his snot and tears mixing together, making this usually neat and efficient young man look even more disheveled.
"Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish." A dark figure emerged from the corner and slowly approached Cai Meng, who was slumped over the bar, seemingly out of his mind.
Cai Meng was completely unaware of the impending danger and was still rambling incoherently when suddenly he felt a numbness in his back and his spiritual energy was drained away. This was a great shock, and he immediately lost all his drunkenness. He was about to resist when he found that he had been restrained. Let alone fight back, even moving a finger would be as difficult as climbing to heaven!
The shadowy figure was secretly pleased with himself. This level three hunter was so incompetent. If it weren't for the powerful and pure spiritual energy flowing into his body, he would have really suspected that this level three hunter was all talk and no action.
But to his surprise, the waiter who was busy with his work suddenly swung his palm at lightning speed! The palm strike came so suddenly and so quickly that the dark figure was sent flying half a zhang away before he even understood what had happened.
"Senior Brother Chunyuan! Well done!" The bar door was pushed open, and Ling'er walked in clapping her hands. Standing next to her were Chang Xiao, who always had a smile on his face, and Hu Yishiba, who was arrogant.
"What about me? What about me?" Two people who had been playing drinking games and sulking in another corner stood up. The one who asked the question was Yi Lin. "Shouldn't you give me an Oscar or something? My portrayal of the drunkard was so realistic!"
"Yes! It's so realistic! So realistic that you didn't even care that my spiritual power was actually being sucked away!" If Chun Yuan hadn't intervened in time, half of her spiritual power would probably have been sucked away! Cai Meng grumbled unhappily, her face pale.
"Forget it, junior brother, just let him spit it out the way he sucked it in, right?" Yi Lin said as he walked towards the dark figure who had been knocked to the ground.
Just as Ling'er saw the person's face clearly, she secretly shook her head and sighed, "So it really is you!"
"Huh?? How could it be the God of Wealth?" Hu Yi's mouth gaped open into a huge "O".
"The God of Wealth...?" Eighteen looked at the person on the ground with the same terror as if the end of the world had come. He had just been thinking that after solving this case, the master would definitely get a large reward, and then he could enjoy a feast. Now, his hopes were shattered with a "bang"!
"You actually figured it out as me? You're really something! It seems I underestimated you!" Zhang Guoqiang was hit squarely in a vital spot by Chun Yuan's palm strike and was panting heavily.
