Chapter 1135: Chapter 514: Return_3

"Yay! Elly-chan is the best to me!"

Ling Long said, already unable to wait as she dashed out of the door.

But in just a few seconds, she was back again.

"What brought you back?" Watchman looked at her, perplexed.

"I forgot that I only have a single digit left in my lifespan..."

Ling Long stuck out her tongue sheepishly and then put her hands together pleadingly in front of Watchman, "So, dear big brother, could you lend your little sister just a teeny bit of lifespan? I promise I’ll pay it back real soon..."

"You’re really hopeless, you know that? I’ve told you to be mindful of your finances, always spending without restraint—it’s going to crash and burn eventually..."

Watchman looked at Ling Long helplessly, falling back into lecture mode. But despite the lecture, he still logged into the forum, found Ling Long’s character, and transferred five hundred years of lifespan to her.

"Big brother is so generous!" Ling Long was delighted, bowing in gratitude.

"Ah, you’re borrowing again!" But now it was Tina on Watchman’s shoulder who couldn’t sit still any longer, floating in front of Ling Long with an angry face: "Don’t think Tina doesn’t know—you always say ’borrow,’ but you never pay back!"

Then she turned to Watchman, scolding him: "And you know she won’t repay, so why do you keep lending to her? She still hasn’t paid back the total 280,374 years and 3 months of lifespan she borrowed from us before!" Like a little housekeeper, Tina remembered the ledger between the two crystal clear, watching Watchman throw money away, feeling the pain as if it were being cut from her own flesh.

"It’s all within the family, blood is thicker than water—we don’t need to be so precise!" Ling Long laughed: "Speaking of, Tina-chan, aren’t you coming along? You know, on a hot summer day, nothing is more enjoyable than a cup of cold, sweet sundae!"

Tina’s voice came to an abrupt halt. Clenching her fists, she seemed to struggle for a moment before her face turned a blushing red and she said, "Tina doesn’t want to eat...but if by chance you have a little bit too much and can’t finish it all, to avoid waste, Tina will reluctantly help you out with a little bit, that’s not out of the question..."

"Then hurry over."

"Wait... Tina can fly by herself..."

Amidst Tina’s protest, Ling Long had already grabbed her and vanished into the streets.

After watching the three leave, Mu You walked up to the computer at the front desk.

Watchman was already at the computer, having started playing.

"What do you have in mind?" Mu You asked, looking at Watchman in front of the Taobao shopping page with an odd expression on his face.

"I’m planning to buy a batch of equipment online and then purchase a house next to the pet shop to build a real otaku’s paradise! I’ve planned it out; if I stock up on everything I need, I can stay home for an entire year without stepping outside!" Watchman boasted proudly.

"Uh..."

Mu You was speechless; he had no doubt that Watchman really meant to do this!

However, Mu You had no intention of interfering. He had already told them when he created the clones that they could develop freely, as long as they took responsibility for the consequences.

Come to think of it, the clones now had considerably more lifespan than him, thanks to a massive four thousand years’ worth of lifespan accumulated through tasks. Even with daily expenditure chipping away a great deal, over time, they were bound to save up quite a bit.

Ling Long had little left due to special circumstances, but Watchman and Medicinal Plant Gatherer each had stored tens of thousands of years of lifespan on them! Converted into Earth currency, both were now billionaires, so this little expenditure was obviously nothing to them.

Mu You shook his head, then looked toward the dining table.

Upon returning, one clone rushed to satisfy hunger, another was busy online shopping, both attending to their personal issues first, only Medicinal Plant Gatherer sat down quietly and started gaming.

Mu You watched Medicinal Plant Gatherer with satisfaction and pulled out his phone to log into his own game.

Just as he logged on, a message popped up in the forum’s backend.

"Do you have a moment?" The message came from Son of Heaven.

"What’s up?"

"The cliff below the exit of the Tower of Heroes has a Six-Star ’Swamp Demoness.’ We had already set up a safe route for players to bypass this thing, but starting from yesterday, this plant seems to have evolved the ability to hide and move at the bottom of the cliff, significantly expanding its hunting range. In just one day, numerous players have already fallen prey to it."

Son of Heaven swiftly sent two messages.

"Oh?" Mu You raised an eyebrow.

He had intended to personally take care of the man-eating Swamp Demoness when he had the time, but it seemed others had set their sights on it too.

Thinking about it made sense; by this time, the City Lords would have fully integrated their Divine Skin.

Looking back at the four individuals mentioned by Son of Heaven, they were indeed the ones who previously received the Divine Bone blood!

It looked like the four City Lords, now freshly endowed with Divine Skin, were all eager to test their new powers.

However, it wouldn’t be that easy to team up and tackle the man-eating plant, even with Divine Skin.

The challenge wasn’t the plant itself but the Nine-Star Titan lurking on the other side: as soon as they summoned their Divine Skin, the Nine-Star Titan would be attracted to them, as Lin Xue had already tested herself.

In the Real World, with their fresh Divine Skin, challenging a Nine-Star Titan was as outrageous as a group of level ten ordinary players trying to face off against a Legend master.
