Chapter 199: Ling Pingan’s Promise
For an entire day, Ling Pingan was immersed in the novels.
After reading dozens of chapters of the books on the trending board, Ling Pingan found seven or eight books that he liked to read.
Basically, they were all cool books!
The kind that smacked one’s face in a cool way, the kind that was in high spirits between the lines!
He happily added a new book to the bookshelf.
Then, he leaned back comfortably in his chair. “These books are enough for me to read for a few days!”
“Okay…”
“About the new books, let me finish reading them first!”
“As for now…”
He picked up his phone. Playing games was his hobby, and writing novels was his interest.
So, it was time to play games!
He swiped the screen and entered the canyon, playing for G.o.d knows how many years!
… … … … … ..
A private plane quietly landed at the airport of Jiangcheng City.
The Princess of Lion City walked down the spiral staircase with dozens of servants.
“This sweet air!” The Princess of Lion City said, “I smelled it as soon as I got off the plane!”
“This is the most civilized country in the world!”
Her beautiful eyes were glowing.
“Miss He…” a man who had been waiting for her at the airport immediately came forward and handed her flowers. “Welcome to Jiangcheng City!”
He Rourou looked at the man with a smile.
“Thank you!” She took the flowers and said in a sweet voice, “Thank you for your trouble!”
However, she couldn’t remember the name of this man.
However, it did not matter.
Her preys were not worthy of having a name!
However, the man was very happy. “Miss He, this humble one had specially prepared a private room for you at the Rhein restaurant in Jiangcheng City…”
“I wonder if you could come?”
“I think I might not go!” He Rourou smiled and said, “I’m a little tired today… Some other day. I’ll treat you a meal some other day in my house!”
The man was so excited that his face was beaming with joy.
“Then I’ll wait for your good news!”
He Rourou pulled up her skirt in a very ladylike manner. With the traditional etiquette of the federal empire, she bowed gracefully.
Then, under the escort of the servants, she got into a limousine that had long been prepared and slowly drove out of the airport.
The car left the airport and then turned into the highway. Then, it got off the highway in the east of Jiangcheng City and drove into the downtown area.
On both sides of the road, the buildings slowly flickered under the night sky.
The streets were packed with cars.
The bustling night scenery of Jiangcheng city was beautiful beyond imagination!
And when the Princess of the Lion City saw all of this, she raised her head proudly.
“Even if I am here, I’ll succeed!”
She had the confidence!
And she also had the strength!
After all, she was someone who wanted to become the slave of the Great One.
She was also the person who once had the ambition to become the empress of this country.
At that moment, countless plans were brewing in her mind.
Beep!
However, the car suddenly stopped.
“What’s going on?” He Rourou frowned. She looked behind her and realized that it was not only her car that had stopped. Her motorcade had also stopped.
“Federal Security Check!” the driver looked at the situation and said.
In the distance, a few policemen got out of a police car.
They walked over and walked directly to He Rourou’s car.
“Miss He Rourou!” The leading policeman handed his identification card to He Rourou. “Welcome to the Federal Empire!”
“On behalf of the Blackguard City Branch, I welcome your arrival!”
“But I also remind you…”
“Please abide by the laws and regulations of our country!”
“In the territory of the Federal Empire, anyone who uses magic art must report it in advance!”
“If something urgent happens, you must report it to the Blackguard immediately after using magic art and accept investigation!”
“You may not abide by it!”
“But the Blackguard will never let go of anyone who breaks the laws and regulations!”
“No matter who he is!”
He Rourou listened and smiled. “I got it!”
“Sir, please rest a.s.sured. I am a law-abiding citizen!”
She took out a pa.s.sport from her pocket. It was from the Federal Empire. “I am also a citizen of the Empire!”
Who among the n.o.bles and wealthy people in Nanyang did not have such a thing?
For ordinary people, it might be difficult to obtain the citizenship of the federal empire.
But for the rich and powerful people of Nanyang, it was very easy!
Which family couldn’t find an ancestor of the federal empire of 800 years ago?
With that as the basis, with the ability to use the money to open the way, why would they be afraid of not being able to take the path of citizenship?
The police officer chuckled as if he had already known that. “It is precise because of this that you should abide by the laws and regulations!”
“Don’t worry!” He Rourou said sweetly. “I know!”
However, she didn’t care much about it in her heart!
That was Jiangcheng City, not imperial capital!
If she went a little overboard, she would only lose money!
However…
That thought only existed for a second before it completely disappeared.
Because in the doc.u.ment in her hand, a paper figurine was already standing on the doc.u.ment and looking at her.
“I’m Situ He!” The paper man said softly, “Miss He, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
Situ He!?
One of the three heroes of the Blackguard?
Major-general!!!!
“General Situ…” He Rourou said with a trembling voice, “Why are you here?”
“I was ordered by the governor to guard Guangnan!” The paper man chuckled, “Miss He, please do abide by the law for me!”
“Of course… of course…” He was a man by his reputation.
Major-general of the Blackguard, Situ He, was known as the ‘Justice General’!
The number of demons and foreign species that died at his hands added up to at least 800!
“Thank you!” The paper man nodded and laid down again silently.
He Rourou’s hands trembled as she sent the doc.u.ments back.
“Thank you for your cooperation!” The police officer said with a smile.
The motorcade resumed its journey, but He Rourou no longer had the initial arrogance in her heart.
A major-general was personally overseeing this place.
She didn’t have any other thoughts.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the car became very strange.
The car slowly drove on the road.
He Rourou looked out of the window. “Forget it…” she thought, “Just treat it as a vacation!”
Suddenly…
She caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of her eye.
A little girl in a flowery dress with pigtails was playing with a balloon by the side of the road.
“Ah Ning?” She was in a trance, not daring to believe her own eyes. She couldn’t believe her eyes.
A person from Nightmare World appeared in reality?
Behind Ah Ning, a man wearing gla.s.ses was smiling as he looked over.
He Rourou only took a glance at him and immediately lowered her head.
Her body was trembling, and her soul was trembling!
“That’s…”
“That’s…”
Her hands and feet felt cold.
That man was not an ordinary person!
He shouldn’t even be called a person!
He… was his honorific t.i.tle!
“This city is too terrifying!” He Rourou thought.
She had only been here for a short while. A major-general, a little girl who had come out of the nightmare world, and an unknown high-level existence beside the little girl!
Scary!
Too scary!
That place must be a den of ferocious creatures?
Thinking of the den, He Rourou’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Master…”
“Could master be here too?”
Thinking of her master, she couldn’t help but get excited, and her body began to heat up.
… … ..
Stretching himself, Ling Pingan looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
“Ah, it’s going to be over again today…”
He stretched his neck and leaned against the back of the chair.
It was already past nine o’clock.
In another hour, he would probably be able to close the door and sleep.
“Face the storm!” At this moment, his phone rang.
Ling Pingan picked it up and saw that it was his aunt’s call.
He picked it up suspiciously.
“Little Pingan!” From the other end of the phone came his aunt’s extremely smug voice. “I’ve been promoted!”
“From a.s.sociate researcher to official researcher!” She was extremely smug. “Just the basic salary alone has increased…” she seemed to look at something and then boasted proudly, “It’s three thousand yuan more than usual!”
“Congratulations!” Ling Pingan immediately regained his vigor. “Aunty is mighty! Aunty is great!”
Then, he saw a way to make money. “Aunty, you should give me a red packet!”
“Hehe!” his aunt across from him laughed and said, “I knew you would say that!”
“That’s why I’m prepared to give you a big red packet!”
Ling Pingan immediately became happy. “Thank you, aunty. Long live aunty!”
The G.o.d was pitying him!
The young bookstore owner was worried that he would spend too much that month and didn’t know what to do!
That was a timely rain!
Therefore, he couldn’t help but show off his treasure and said, “Aunty, I recently had a customer give me a jar of especially good wine!”
“I also tried to make a piece of beef with several kilograms of b.u.t.ter!”
“You can eat it when you come back in two months!”
“Really?” A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone. “Little Pingan, you’re so nice!”
She seemed to think for a moment and then said, “It will be October in two months…”
“I want to eat Chinese mitten crab!”
“I want to eat Little Pingan’s fried crabs and wine crabs!”
Ling Pingan listened and didn’t care anymore. In order to make his aunt’s red packet bigger, he patted his chest and promised, “No problem!”
“When you come back, I’ll prepare the best mud crab for you!”
“Aunty… If your red packet is bigger…”
“I’ll get someone to prepare two b.u.t.ter crabs!”
That was a huge investment!
One b.u.t.ter crab costs at least one to two thousand!
However, one couldn’t get a bigger prey if he doesn’t put on a small prey as bait!
As expected, after hearing Ling Pingan’s promise, his aunt was excited.
“You said it yourself!” His aunt said seriously, “Then I’ll give you the crab money and the red packet together!”
“When the time comes, I want not just the b.u.t.ter crab!”
“I want to eat more delicious food!”
“I can’t have the same thing every day!”
Ling Pingan thought about his bank balance. He knew that that was a trap. Once he stepped into it, he would be in an awkward situation where he would have to live beyond his means. However, he could only bite the bullet and say, “Well! Aunt, don’t worry!”
There was nothing he could do!
Because the old book was finished, and his royalties were dropping. Without full attendance, the young bookstore owner was now living on the allowance of the Ministry of Finance.
He was hard-pressed to make ends meet!
He had no choice but to sell his labor force in exchange for a sum of cash to get through this two-month gap without royalties!
As for what would happen later…
He would have a headache then!
