516: Goodbye parents

After the Thousand-Eyed Spider King uttered those four words, Qin Shilei discovered that the surrounding space seemed to have frozen; he couldn't even use Teleportation anymore.

At the same time, he felt a massive sense of oppression closing in on him from all directions.

Focusing his gaze, he saw countless giant spider webs flying toward him from every side.

His several-hundred-meter-tall phantom was already heavily surrounded by the webs.

A dazzling light flashed!

The energy greatsword in the phantom's hand turned into countless afterimages, slashing at the surrounding webs.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sounds like metal clashing rang out as the greatsword struck the spider webs, sending out a series of sparks.

Although the webs were slashed with countless gaps, they weren't completely destroyed; in the blink of an eye, they stuck to the phantom's body.

Meanwhile, more countless spider webs continued to shroud it from the outside.

Stuck by the webs, the phantom's movements were suddenly severely restricted, making it even less able to withstand the subsequent webs.

Layer upon layer of spider webs immediately surrounded the phantom, quickly wrapping it up like a cocoon.

Movement could still be heard from inside the cocoon from time to time, but the activity grew smaller and smaller.

When Qin Shilei discovered the spider webs, he turned and quickly flew toward the Thousand-Eyed Spider King.

At the same time, his hands quickly formed hand seals.

Thunderous Nine Heavens!

A dazzling pillar of lightning dispersed the thick surrounding mist!

Boom!

The lightning pillar shattered countless layers of spider webs, but it dissipated and vanished powerlessly ten meters above the Thousand-Eyed Spider King's head.

Thunderous Nine Heavens!

Ignoring the spider webs closing in from all sides, Qin Shilei continued to unleash one violent bolt of lightning after another.

The second lightning pillar struck five meters above the Thousand-Eyed Spider King's head.

The third lightning pillar struck one meter above the Thousand-Eyed Spider King's head.

Just as the fourth lightning pillar fell, the Thousand-Eyed Spider King shifted and dodged over a hundred meters away.

By this time, the surrounding spider webs were right in front of Qin Shilei.

The Blessed Land was instantly opened, and a massive spatial vortex appeared beside Qin Shilei.

The flying spider webs were sucked into the Blessed Land one after another.

“Seal!”

The Thousand-Eyed Spider King's eyes shot out another beam of white light.

Under the illumination of this white light, although the entrance to the Blessed Land didn't close, it lost its gravitational pull.

The surrounding spider webs closed in on Qin Shilei once again.

Element Transformation!

Thunder Escape!

After Qin Shilei elementalized, the Thousand-Eyed Spider King's spatial lockdown could no longer control his Thunder Escape technique.

He instantly arrived in the sky above the opponent's head.

Thunderous Nine Heavens!

A massive pillar of lightning descended from the sky once more, ruthlessly striking down at the Thousand-Eyed Spider King below.

“Ah!”

The Thousand-Eyed Spider King let out a tragic scream.

A massive penetrating wound appeared on the Thousand-Eyed Spider King's back.

Under the strike of this lightning pillar, the eyes on his back were reduced by two or three hundred.

“You are looking for death!”

After taking such a heavy blow, the Thousand-Eyed Spider King was actually still alive.

His entire illusory body suddenly transformed into a giant eyeball, staring fixedly at Qin Shilei.

A wave of dizziness washed over him, and the hand seals Qin Shilei was about to perform for Thunderous Nine Heavens suddenly stopped.

The surrounding spider webs instantly surrounded the lightning phantom he had become, while also wrapping that giant eyeball inside... Qin Shilei dragged his exhausted body back to his rented room.

He had just lay down on the sofa, preparing to play a few rounds of games to relax, when the phone suddenly rang.

“Shi Lei, send us a location pin. Your father and I are coming to see you.”

“Mom, why did you two suddenly think of coming to see me?”

“Don't ask so much, just send the location.”

Helpless, Qin Shilei had no choice but to send his mother a location pin, then went back to playing games.

“Mom is really something, not even letting me ask when they'll arrive.”

Over half an hour later, a knock came from outside the door.

“I didn't order takeout, who's knocking?”

Qin Shilei opened the door with some confusion.

Seeing those two familiar figures outside the door, his nose suddenly stung.

Qin Shilei took a step forward and hugged his parents. “Mom, Dad, why are you here already?”

It seemed like he hadn't hugged his parents since he was ten, but at this moment, he simply couldn't hold back.

He just wanted to hold his two closest relatives like this.

“Silly child, you didn't expect Mom and Dad to come so fast, did you?”

For a moment, Mother Qin also seemed unaccustomed to her son's closeness, and her eyes suddenly grew moist.

“Dad, Mom, I haven't seen you for so, so long.” Qin Shilei's voice was also somewhat choked.

“Son, don't be so sentimental. We're taking you to a good place.” Father Qin was the first to regain control of his emotions.

Qin Shilei followed his parents downstairs with some confusion and got into his father's somewhat aged van.

Half an hour later, the family of three arrived at a luxurious residential complex.

“Dad, aren't we going to eat? Why did we come here?”

“Hehe, you'll know in a bit.”

Father Qin's old van actually drove into the luxurious complex without any hindrance.

Qin Shilei followed his parents to the front of a villa, feeling a bit dazed.

Mother Qin naturally opened the door with her finger. “Next time we must change to a mechanical lock. These code locks always make people feel uneasy.”

Father Qin chimed in, “What's there to be uneasy about? This will be our son's wedding house in the future. We'll still find it more comfortable to live back in our hometown.”

“What? This is our house? Did our old place get demolished for redevelopment?” Qin Shilei asked with a face full of confusion.

Father Qin said with a face full of pride, “Where would demolition money get us this much? Your old man won twenty first-prize lottery tickets. Son, are you happy with this surprise from Mom and Dad?”

Qin Shilei said with a face full of disbelief, “Winning twenty first-prize tickets... is our family related to some lottery director?”

“What nonsense are you talking?” Mother Qin took out a bank card. “There's two hundred thousand in here. Go find a daughter-in-law for Mom and Dad quickly. When the time comes, we'll give you another ten million. Then give us a big fat grandson to look after before we get too old.”

Qin Shilei walked into the hall with the bank card, his face full of daze.

I've become a second-generation rich kid just like that?

No more 996 work schedule from now on?

I, Qin, can also live a happy life of eating and waiting to die?

In the days that followed, Qin Shilei truly lived a wonderful life of leisure.

He took his parents and his younger brother, who had just started his break, on a pleasant trip around the country.

The only thing that troubled him was that his parents were always forcing him to find a girlfriend quickly.

By chance, he really met a girl who made his heart flutter.

After a few months of sweet romance, the two stepped into the hall of marriage.

On the wedding night, Qin Shilei looked at his beautiful and moving bride, feeling his heart beating very, very fast.

“My clothes are growing loose, but I regret it not!”

Just as Qin Shilei was about to unbutton his wife's clothes, this line of poetry suddenly popped out of his mouth.

“This poem sounds so beautiful. Hubby, recite the whole poem for me.”

The bride said with a dreamy look in her eyes.

Qin Shilei, however, suddenly froze in place. “Wife, shouldn't the next line be said by you?”

He didn't understand why he said that line of poetry, nor did he know what the next line was, but he felt that his wife must know it.

“Hubby, your wife is poorly educated. Don't test me, just say it.”

The bride took Qin Shilei's hands and placed them on her clothes again.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through Qin Shilei's mind.

“Fake... it turns out everything is fake.”
