Chapter 10 - The Next Ten Years, A Decade of Turmoil!
Since the invasion of demons began, the struggle between humans and demons has never ceased, but has instead intensified.
The next ten years will be the most tumultuous decade.
Demons launched large-scale invasions, destroying cities and towns, feeding on humans, leaving desolation in their wake. There hasn’t been a safe place anywhere during this time.
Take their city of Jiangnan for example – just half a year later, a terrifying demon infiltrated it.
It possesses unique abilities, capable of turning humans into snakes, causing them to kill each other, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths.
This calamity is known as the “Disaster of the Rampaging Python”!
However, that was not the end.
A year later, the Four Great Demon Kings and Four Great Monster Kings launched a nighttime assault on Jiangnan.
They conspired to create a bloody red moon, summoning billions of demons to prepare to annihilate the cities led by Jiangnan, extinguishing all hope for humanity.
This was the most challenging time in Jiangnan’s history!
It is historically referred to as the “Disaster of the Red Moon”!
Fortunately, countless righteous individuals came forward, risking their lives and shedding blood to resist at the front lines at all costs.
With the young generation led by Lin Daotian growing up, there was no way Jiangnan would fall.
Despite this, more than half of the cities fell, with casualties exceeding a hundred million!
Ten years later, the Demon God and Monster Lord arrived together to kill.
This was the “War of Annihilation,” marking humanity’s darkest hour!
Fortunately, by that time, Lin Daotian had fully grown, single-handedly suppressing the Demon God and Monster Lord, displaying terrifying, invincible power. Without him, Earth would have been doomed.
These were the three disasters that left the deepest impressions on her, each bringing great loss and cost!
Among them, her parents died during the “Disaster of the Rampaging Python.”
She didn’t even get to see them one last time, and their remains were left unaccounted for, leaving her with endless regret.
So, in this second chance at life, she must ensure her parents’ survival.
Before she became powerful herself, to protect her parents, she had to get them to live in the Dragon Court.
Because this was the Lin family’s territory, protected by the contemporary strongman Dragon King Lin Aotian and the future invincible strongman Lin Daotian, who had survived numerous disasters.
“Mom and Dad, if you will listen to my advice, please live here from now on! If you stay here, I can relax! As for any other issues, they won’t be a problem, I will arrange everything for you!” Leng Qingyue said earnestly.
Mother and Father Leng exchanged glances, and Father Leng sighed, “Alright, we’ll do as you say! After all, you have grown up now and have your own ideas and aspirations. We can’t be a burden to you!”
Leng Qingyue smiled brightly, “Thank you, Mom and Dad, you are the best to me!”
Then, she transferred 2.9 million to her parents to help them acquire some necessities.
As for herself, she kept 100,000 as pocket money.
She believed that with her ability, she would soon earn the money back.
“Mr. Wang, our family is very satisfied with this house. We want to move in today, but moving can be a bit troublesome…”
Wang Biao smiled slightly, “Miss Leng, no need to worry. The Lin family has its own moving company, and they’re very professional. I’ll have them come over to help. We’ll make sure everything is done before nightfall!”
“Then I’ll trouble you!”
“It’s no trouble at all!”
Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked through the villa.
At this moment, a few young people approached, and the one leading them was Zhang Kuang, Leng Qingyue’s number one admirer.
As soon as he saw the goddess he longed for, he was overjoyed and immediately dashed over, leaving his companions behind.
“Qingyue, what are you doing here?”
Leng Qingyue replied vaguely, “I came to look at the house. What about you?”
“I’m also here to look at the house!”
Zhang Kuang said excitedly, “Because I summoned the eight-colored vajra hammer, my dad was very happy, so he gave me a villa in Dragon Court!”
“Congratulations!” Leng Qingyue nodded calmly.
“Do you know what villa number 79 means?”
Leng Qingyue shook her head. “I don’t know!”
“I’ll tell you…”
Zhang Kuang continued excitedly, “The Dragon Court is the best district in Jiangnan. The lower the number, the more prestigious the identity! Aside from the 50 villas in front that are for sale, getting villa number 79 is already quite impressive!”
“Indeed very impressive!” Leng Qingyue nodded calmly again.
Looking at Zhang Kuang’s smug demeanor, she felt a hint of amusement inside.
“Thanks for the compliment! Qingyue, which villa do you want to see? I’m familiar with this area; I’ll take you!” Zhang Kuang said enthusiastically.
Leng Qingyue waved her hand. “No need, I’ve already seen it!”
“Huh? You’ve already seen it? Where?” Zhang Kuang was taken aback.
Leng Qingyue pointed to the villa behind her. “That one!”
Standing nearby, Wang Biao added, “Miss Leng is the owner of this villa!”
Zhang Kuang looked up at the villa before him, which was more luxurious than his own, and dumbfoundedly asked, “Qingyue, did you buy this?”
“No, it was a gift from someone! It’s nice, but I have something to do, so I’ll be leaving. Goodbye!”
Leng Qingyue led everyone away.
Zhang Kuang stood there, staring blankly at the villa.
“Whose villa is number 28?”
“Leng Qingyue’s!”
“Of course, I know it’s hers, but I want to know whose it was before!”
A young man raised his hand. “I know this one!”
“Say it!”
“As far as I know, this villa originally belonged to Lin Daotian, but after the renovations were completed, it was never moved into!”
Zhang Kuang’s head felt like it had exploded, instantly turning green with jealousy.
“What? This villa originally belonged to Lin Daotian?!”
Over the years, Leng Qingyue had always been pure and self-reliant, showing no good face to those pursuing her, and she accepted gifts from no one.
But now she had received Lin Daotian’s villa?
What kind of relationship did they have?
Why did Leng Qingyue make an exception only for Lin Daotian?
Recalling the way they looked at each other during the summoning ceremony, Zhang Kuang suddenly felt his jealousy spike.
“It must be Lin Daotian’s! If I’m not mistaken, the person talking just now, Wang Biao, is Lin Daotian’s personal bodyguard, very trusted by him!” another young man said.
Zhang Kuang was so furious his eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. “He must have used some underhanded tactics to threaten Qingyue; how despicable! I’m going to settle the score with him!”
“Brother Zhang, don’t be impulsive!”
The two companions quickly grabbed Zhang Kuang.
The person involved is confused, while the onlookers are clear; it was evident that Zhang Kuang was out of his mind with anger. Who would use threats to give someone a villa?
If there were such a bodhisattva, please send a few my way!
Looking at Leng Qingyue, she didn’t seem like someone who was threatened at all!
“Brother Zhang, calm down. It won’t help to confront Lin Daotian!”
“After all, this is his territory. If you make a big fuss about it, it won’t be good for anyone. Just wait for another opportunity!”
Zhang Kuang gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, I’ll hold back my anger for now and settle the score with him after the entrance exam!”
