I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1416 - 1417: Foster Daughter

"How did things go?"

"It went smoothly. Zixu has already eliminated Chiyou. He’s heading to Xing Tian’s territory to assassinate Xing Tian. With his current level and power, dealing with Xing Tian shouldn’t be a problem."

"He hasn’t discovered anything, has he?"

"No, Yu’er has been by his side all along and hasn’t noticed any unusual movements from him."

"Very good. I see you’re a bit tired yourself. Go to your room and rest for a few days. Once Zixu unifies the Netherworld, our plan can begin."

"Yes." The woman nodded in agreement, but didn’t leave. Ling Dijie found this strange and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Father, am I— is Jieyu unnecessary?"

Jieyu, she is Qiu Jiayu!

"Why would you think that? Didn’t you always have confidence in yourself before? You’re tired. Go back and rest."

"Yes."

On the way back, Qiu Jiayu kept asking herself if everything she’d done over the years was right. What puzzled her even more was that she suddenly felt her life had lost its meaning. Her original purpose of living was to control you with her beauty, but who would have thought you weren’t much affected by beautiful women. She could tell there were many beauties around you. She had heard of Zhao’er’s presence earlier, and later in the Netherworld, she discovered another strong rival, Mei Ye, the daughter of the Ghost King.

Women’s intuition told her that Mei Ye’s beauty was definitely not inferior to hers. However, judging from your reaction to Mei Ye, the relationship was very strained. When you looked at Mei Ye, the feelings in your eyes were very strange. Sometimes, it seemed as if Mei Ye was just the girl next door, and other times, you were very doting on her.

Qiu Jiayu felt some regret. She regretted following Ling Dijie into that island back then, regretted accepting Ling Dijie’s training, and even more regretted now being used by Ling Dijie like a puppet. Thinking further, she could even foresee her own future. If one day, you and Ling Dijie fall out, she would be the first to be executed by Ling Dijie. Thinking of this, Qiu Jiayu’s palms began to sweat slightly. She told herself she couldn’t go on like this anymore. She had to resist. She wanted a life she liked, a life she could control.

"Hmph, Ling Dijie, you’ve always thought you were the smartest person in the world, but you never imagined that you’re actually the stupidest person in the world." Qiu Jiayu took out a letter from a small box and then showed a sly smile on her beautiful face.

Qiu Jiayu sealed the letter in a secret small box and then sent it through a special channel. The destination of the small box was surprisingly "Zhonghua Star," and the recipient was Li Qimeng!

One day later.

"I want revenge, I want revenge!" Li Qimeng kept smashing her beloved ceramics, and several maids were frightened and silent beside her.

"Miss." The old butler came in.

"Get out, I don’t want to see anyone!" Li Qimeng shouted rudely. Her temper hadn’t calmed down since she returned.

"Miss, someone sent you a package." The old butler placed an ordinary-looking package on the table.

"Who sent it?"

"The sender is Zixu’s wife."

"Zixu?"

The name sounded so familiar. Li Qimeng was suddenly stunned and then immediately tore open the package, after which a letter was imprinted in her eyes. For some reason, Li Qimeng’s hands and heart began to tremble. She slowly opened the letter, and the first thing that caught her eye was a line of graceful writing: "Seeing the letter is like seeing the person. I, Li Fuyun, am leaving this letter as I approach death, hoping that my son Zixu and adopted daughter Qimeng will learn the details..."

"Adopted... adopted daughter?" Li Qimeng could hardly believe her eyes. She—she wasn’t Li Fuyun’s biological daughter!

As she continued reading, Li Qimeng learned that Li Fuyun and Li Zhong’s daughter was not her; their daughter died at a very young age. At that time, they happened upon Qimeng, who had been abandoned in the street, so they took her in, treating her as their own. And Ling Zixu was indeed the child of Li Fuyun and Ling Dijie. However, to prevent the Li family from knowing about this, Ling Dijie used some tricks when Ling Zixu was young to make the birthmark under his navel disappear, which would only faintly appear when he used Qi Force to fight.

What struck Li Qimeng the most, internally, were the last few sentences: "The master once predicted Zixu’s future and learned of his predestined entanglements with romance, resulting in countless emotional debts. To prevent him from succumbing to women, his father sent him into the game world to grow on his own in a harsh environment. But fate is inevitable; what must come will come. As I approach death, I order my son Zixu, in my capacity as a mother, to marry Qimeng and Jieyu as wives for life and never abandon them."

After reading the entire letter, Li Qimeng was already in tears, unable to accept this sudden news. She shredded the letter to pieces, then rushed out of the room with tears. Li Qimeng’s heart was like a sea overwhelmed by huge waves. She didn’t know how to handle the matter, especially Li Fuyun’s last words. No one had ever thought she’d let her adopted daughter marry her own son. Li Qimeng hated you—though she didn’t know if it was hate or love. Either way, she didn’t want to be with you right now. She hated you for being so cruel and hated everything you’ve done to her.

"No, I won’t just stop here. I’m not some dowry merchandise. I won’t marry that bastard. I won’t obey anyone!"

Meanwhile, you were sitting quietly in Xing Tian’s seat. Xing Tian was completely different from Chiyou; he was a magician with great magic power, which made you quite happy. To you, no matter how powerful the magician, they were just clowns. With your current speed, no magician in this world could survive a blow from you.

"Heaven’s Devil Annihilation!"

As usual, you effortlessly killed Xing Tian in front of everyone. With Xing Tian dead, most of his subordinates surrendered to you, and those stubborn ones were all killed!

Upon learning that you had taken control of Xing Tian’s troops, the Ghost King immediately sent a delegation to congratulate you and brought you another crystal chip. To avoid unnecessary sacrifices, you ordered your men to withdraw all personnel fighting with the human army on the front lines and, as the Netherworld Emperor, requested a meeting with the human envoy to discuss the Undead’s harassment of the Human World.

Just as you expected, the Human Coalition sent Dongfang Yunlong as the envoy to meet you in Panfu City.

When Dongfang Yunlong entered the Panfu City Imperial Palace with a few people, his eyes were wide open in disbelief. No one had ever expected the ruler of this land to be you!

"You..." Ever since you appeared, Dongfang Yunlong’s mindset was completely disrupted by you. He no longer had that former grace and composure, only jealousy and hatred remained.
