Chapter 117:


    “How were you able to contract two beasts?” Li Mingyu stared at ire incredulously.


    “It just happened,” she shrugged. She dispersed her me sword, then turned pick up the Azure Ripple de that she had casually thrown away just a moment ago. Surveying the area, she raised a brow. “Wow, so poor you only use candles as lights.”


    Li Yuewen instantly turned furious.


    “Cousin, when are you going to change your impulsive attitude?” ire turned and grinned at Li Yuewen, then added, “It’s just money, you can make it whenever.”


    “Easier said than done. Nobody in the Li n is talented atmerce. Even if there were, it would be futile. The Feng n has practically monopolies of everything! Eighty percent of all industries are under the Feng n,” Li Yuewen said, somewhat vexed.


    “Really?” ire stroked her chin, blinking as she said, “So what? Just because you don’t have the talent formerce doesn’t mean I don’t.” ire said meaningfully.


    An inexplicable gleam shed through Jean’s eyes. Was Miss nning on finding Feng Yixuan for help? But he quickly dismissed the thought. With Miss’s personality, she definitely would not do that. Then, what exactly was Miss thinking?


    “I’m going to sleep first. I’m tired to death. Cousin Yuewen, Cousin Mingyu, good night. I’ll deal with everything else once I’m rested.” ire stored the Azure Ripple de back into her interspatial ring, then turned away and headed towards her bedroom. Jean silently followed her from behind.


    Inside the main hall, only the Li siblings were left. They nced at each other.


    “Elder brother, do you think that brat can really change our current situation?” Li Yuewen said softly. She bit her lip.


    “I only know that a storm ising,” Li Mingyu said with a solemn expression.


    The east was gradually brightening. ire was in deep sleep.


    ck Feather and White Feather were on ire’s pillow, one on the left, one on the right.


    Swoosh...


    Hair white as snow, eyes like the moon.


    White Emperor’s true form appeared, his expression cold. His handsome face was entirely cold as he stared icily at ck Feather.


    ck Feather pped his wings.


    Swoosh...


    Hair ck as ebony, eyes like the night.


    A man d in ck emerged. His handsome face carried a trace of arrogance, as beautiful as a masterful painting. He red coldly towards White Emperor.


    White Emperor waved his finger. ire’s fluttering eyshes stilled. Once again, she was in deep slumber.


    “It’s been a long time since west saw each other.” ck Feather smiled icily, his cocky attitude distinct in his provoking tone.


    White Emperor was silent, still staring at ck Feather coldly.


    “Don’t look at me like that. Lucky for you, we have the same contractor at the moment, although the little girl is a bit weak currently,” ck Featherughed coldly as he watched the sleeping ire. “I never expected you would have chosen such a weak little girl as your contractor.”


    “Didn’t you also choose her?” White Emperor said coldly.


    “As long as you want something, I want it too!” ck Feather smiled madly.


    “And you ended up being restricted by the girl,” White Emperor said coldly, his mocking tone clear.


    Sure enough, ck Feather’s expression changed. Anger and a wild look passed through his eyes. “Not for long.”


    “Yes, not for long. But whether or not you be the master, or the little girl you speak of bes our master remains undecided.” White Emperor coldly watched ck Feather’s expression change.


    ck Feather frowned. “I really am curious whether or not she can truly be my master!”


    “Then wait and see.” White Emperor nodded likely. Watching the deep asleep ire, an ineffable gleam shed through his eyes. He reached out and stroked ire’s face gently.


    “What, do you feel something for this little girl?” ck Feather watched White Emperor with ridicule in his eyes.


    “You really think she’s a little girl?” White Emperor didn’t look up, still looking deeply into ire’s face.


    ck Feather’s expression changed once more. He also lowered his head to look at ire, saying in a low voice, “This body’s soul is beautiful. And her original form is actually doubly ck, ck hair and ck eyes!”


    White Emperor was silent, acknowledging ck Feather’s words.


    “Is this why the god of Darkness shamelessly took a liking to her? And marked her?” ck Feather grabbed ire’s right hand roughly.


    “No. If it were only this, the god of Darkness wouldn’t have chosen her,” White Emperor shook his head.


    ck Feather pulled off the glove on ire’s right hand, asking as he stared at the ck mark, “Then why?” In any case, the current owner of the body was his contractor. Of course he had to understand clearly.


    “She is the perfect union of darkness and light, evil and righteousness,” White Emperor said solemnly looking at ire’s peaceful face.


    “What?! In other words, she will be an offering for that...” ck Feather’s expression finally changed drastically.


    White Emperor was silent, but his serious expression revealed that ck Feather’s conjectures were right.


    “F*ck! Just been reborn and found a contractor but it’s already such a nuisance,” ck Feather cursed in a low voice.


    “Once my power returns, I will stop it.” White Emperor grabbed the glove from ck Feather and carefully slipped it onto ire’s hand.


    “Whatever, whatever.” ck Feather clicked his tongue in annoyance. “I can’t stay in this form for long and my power hasn’t recoveredpletely either.” ck Feather floated back next to ire’s pillow. With a swish, he turned back into the ck ball. Heid down on the pillow and started sleeping again.


    White Emperor watched ire calmly, quiet for a while. Finally, with a swish, he turned back into a white ball, curled up next to ire’s pillow, and also started sleeping.


    Murkiness and darkness surrounded her. Underfoot was a uneven stone path. ire raised her head, but it was a field of darkness. She couldn’t see anything, not a soul in sight. The Li siblings weren’t there, Jean wasn’t there, Walter wasn’t there, Summer and Qiao Chuxin weren’t there, Camille was also not there... All there was was deathly silence.


    Where was she?


    ire took a few steps forward on the stone path and stepped on a sharp shard, injuring her foot. Blood slowly flowed out of the wound.


    Instantly, the darkness around her slowly condensed into a mass of ck gas with a pair of blood red eyes within, staring piercingly at ire.


    God of Darkness?!


    “ire, you have already been marked by me. You are my precious offering,” the ice cold, terrifying voice said with a low voice.


    “I! Will not be your offering without a fight!” ire clenched her fist and bellowed at the frightening mass of ck gas.


    “You think you can escape me? You’re mine, remember. Once the time is ripe, I will definitely be back,” the god of Darknessughed, cold and menacing.


    ire felt a burning sensation from the back of her right hand. She looked down and saw that the mark had already turnedpletely ck.


    “You can’t escape and you can’t beat me.” The god of Darkness sneered. Then, a cold, ck enveloped ire, binding ire tightly, then gradually tighten, tighten... The suffocating feeling made ire sweat.


    “No...” ire shouted. She opened her eyes abruptly, but only saw gorgeous bed curtains hanging overhead.


    A dream?


    “Miss?” Jeans knocked on the door frantically, his voice full of worry. “Miss, are you alright?”


    ire tried to sit up, but found that the two little things were lying on her chest, round little ck Feather and furry White Emperor. They were both in deep sleep. ire bit her lip. No wonder she had a nightmare. It was all because these two little fes were sleeping on her chest.


    “I’m fine, Jean. It was only a nightmare,” ire said quickly to console Jean. She knew that if she didn’t say anything any longer, Jean would break open the door.


    “Oh. As long as you are fine, Miss.” Jean’s voice was obviously relieved.


    “You should go rest.” ire let out a small sigh. She reached out and scooped the two little fellows off and set them beside her pillow.


    “Yes,” Jean replied, about to leave.


    “Wait a moment. What time is it right now? How long have I been asleep?” ire asked.


    “It’s morning now. Miss, you’ve slept for a day and a night,” Jean replied from outside her room.


    “Oh.” ire got up. Her stomach rumbled awkwardly. ire frowned slightly. “I’ll be up soon. Call someone to prepare me food. I’m hungry.”


    “Yes, Miss.” The sound of Jean’s footsteps gradually disappeared.


    After ire got up and was dressed, she was still thinking back to her dream. The suffocating feeling was so intense, so realistic. She would definitely not let ite true! ire clenched her fists. After she finished dressing, she left out the door.


    Today, the morning was unusually busy. Because ire had woken up safely, everybody ate a peaceful meal joyfully.


    ire gracefully wiped her mouth after eating and then said, “Cousin Yuewen, tell me about Lagark’s capital’s current economic situation. Also, tell me as much information as possible about the chairmen of each chamber ofmerce.”


    “Each chairman?” Li Yuewen was a bit puzzled. It was reasonable to want to know about each chamber ofmerce, but each chairman?


    ire epted the flower tea Camille passed over, took arge, satisfying sip, then continued asking, “Mm. Are there going to be any big events in the capital soon? Anything that would attract people’s attention?”


    “Huh? What does that have to do with making money?” Li Yuewen asked, puzzled.


    ire couldn’t exin to them the effects of advertising. She could only respond confidently. “Yes. So, are there any big events?”


    “Yes.” Li Yuewen nodded. “Two weekster, the capital will hold a donating convention. The donated money will be construct a clinic for the poor people who can’t afford to be treated. That day, both the crown prince and the capital’s number one beauty will be there.”


    “Prince? Number one beauty?” ire asked, puzzled. She set down her teacup.


    “Haha, ire, in truth, there are three great beauties. Of the great beauties, one is the Hua n’s Hua Xiuning and one is the Shui n’s Shui Xinmei.” Li Mingyu exined, amused.


    “And thest one?” ire raised her teacup and Camille poured in more tea for her. ire took a small sip. He had only mentioned two. Who was the third beauty?
