157: Chapter 157 Han Miao: You really have a system!?
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a piece of glass!"
As the system notification faded, a piece of crystal-clear glass appeared out of thin air in Shen Yuan's palm.
Chu Yang and the others looked over, and Han Miao's face was full of bewilderment. "What is this?"
"Glass?"
Chu Yang spoke in astonishment, "You're using this thing to test the resolve of our cadres?"
"The system made it!"
Shen Yuan smiled.
Chu Yang nodded. "I see... Well, since Han Miao's azure phoenix jade is gone, then..."
"Wait..."
"Old Shen, did you say 'system'?"
Chu Yang looked up in disbelief. "You... exposed yourself again?"
Aren't you afraid someone will kill you one day!
"It's fine, the system gave me a prompt!"
Shen Yuan spread his hands. "Miaomiao has become an Legendary Grade Child of Destiny, the same grade as you!"
Chu Yang: "..."
Xiao Ce and Lin Yu: "????"
What the hell!
The two of us fought tooth and nail and got beaten up just to be Epic-level Children of Destiny.
Han Miao gets an azure phoenix jade and becomes Legendary Grade?
Is there any justice left?
Is there any law?
Han Miao looked up in shock; this time, they really were talking about a system.
A system?
"Miaomiao, I have a system!"
Shen Yuan spoke frankly, as if he were mentioning a mundane, everyday matter.
Han Miao, however, froze in place, her eyes wide and round.
A system?
It's really a system?!
The legends of the System Clan she had just been imagining...
Could they be true?
"You... you really have a system?"
Han Miao swallowed hard, her voice trembling.
"The real deal."
Shen Yuan waved the piece of glass that mimicked the azure phoenix jade. "Otherwise, where do you think this thing came from?"
Chu Yang held his forehead, looking like he had lost all hope in life.
This guy Old Shen has absolutely no sense of secrecy!
Then again, the first time he met me, he pulled me aside to tell me I was the true young master and that he had a system.
This guy's train of thought has completely defeated me!
Han Miao took a deep breath, forcing down the shock in her heart.
Systems, cultivation, the azure phoenix jade, the Ghost King, the Little Japaneses...
In a single day, the worldview she had built over twenty years had completely shattered into dust.
But...
This is awesome!
"So, what are we doing now?"
Han Miao's eyes sparkled. "Are we going to raid the Little Japaneses' nest?"
"It's not that simple."
Chu Yang's face darkened. "We can't just charge in!"
Shen Yuan toyed with the fake azure phoenix jade in his hand. "I'll be the bait!"
"After we leave in a bit, we'll leak the news immediately!"
"We'll say that at the birthday banquet, I gave Miaomiao an emperor jade great wall."
"And the Han Family, in return, gave me their ancestral azure phoenix jade!"
"When the time comes, the Little Japaneses won't be able to resist trying to snatch it."
Shen Yuan's eyes were cold, filled with killing intent. "We'll lure them out and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
Han Miao felt her blood boil with excitement and nodded. "I want to go too!"
"Don't cause trouble."
Shen Yuan said helplessly, "You've just started cultivating. Your strength is too weak; going there is just suicide."
Han Miao: "..."
That hurts.
"Little Lin."
Shen Yuan looked at Lin Yu. "Go find Ye Han. The two of you will protect Miaomiao here in secret!"
"Why?"
Lin Yu got anxious.
"Because you two are the weakest!"
Shen Yuan, Chu Yang, and Xiao Ce said in unison.
Lin Yu's expression was full of grievance.
Is it my fault that I'm weak?
It's all your fault, Old Shen!
If the first Child of Destiny you looked for was me, I'd definitely be stronger than Chu Yang by now.
Feeling aggrieved~~
"Wait, Zhang Xuan is weaker than me!"
Lin Yu argued.
"He's a Taoist priest; he might be useful when dealing with the Ghost King!"
Xiao Ce said.
"What help can you provide?" Chu Yang countered.
Shen Yuan looked pained. "Lin, I didn't expect that you still haven't seen yourself clearly!"
Lin Yu stumbled back, squatted in a corner in self-pity, and started drawing circles on the floor.
I curse you!
I curse you to exterminate the Little Japaneses!
"Yang Zi, Old Shen!"
"Let's go together!"
Xiao Ce smiled slightly.
Shen Yuan glanced sideways. "You go find Zhang Xuan and destroy the Poison Array with him! Yang Zi will come with me to lure out the other Little Japanese ninjas!"
Chu Yang and Xiao Ce nodded.
Those Little Japaneses are dead meat!
Even if Jesus came, he couldn't save them!
"Then let's get going?"
Shen Yuan turned and pushed open the door.
Han Miao looked aggrieved. "Let me see the system!"
Shen Yuan stumbled. "I can't take the damn thing out. What the hell are you going to look at?"
Han Miao: (罒ω罒)
Fine, I'll just wait for you guys at home obediently!
I won't hold you back.
After all, it's easy to screw up the first time on a battlefield.
Although my blood is boiling, I still have some self-awareness.
In the living room, Father Han was still lecturing Han Jin with a dark face.
He must have been tired of hitting him, so now he was just scolding him.
Seeing Shen Yuan and the others come out, Father Han stepped forward. "Xiao Yuan... finished talking?"
He was truly scared now.
First a headshot with a gun, then a secret meeting in a room...
Today's birthday banquet was a bit too terrifying.
Shen Yuan gave a faint smile. "Uncle Han, sorry for the disturbance."
He was polite. "I have urgent business and must leave now."
"Maybe—and I mean maybe—someone might come to your house to cause trouble."
"But don't worry... I'll arrange for people to come over."
Shen Yuan was all smiles.
Father Han's heart tightened. "My son and daughter won't have any problems, will they?"
"Don't worry, they aren't 'dead' yet!"
Shen Yuan chuckled. "I'm going to clear out some trash first!"
Trash?
Father Han thought of the three guys Chu Yang had shot in the head.
Could there be... more?
Shen Yuan said no more and gave Chu Yang and Xiao Ce a look.
The three of them walked straight out the door.
Lin Yu sighed, pulled out his phone, and called Ye Han.
"Idiot, stop hanging out with your Senior Sister!"
"We have work. Get to the Han Family home immediately!"
"Crap, I forgot you have no sense of direction. You'd better just take a damn taxi!"
Lin Yu hung up the phone.
On the other end, Ye Han was left dazed.
What exactly is going on?
Watching Shen Yuan's departing back, Han Miao suddenly burst out laughing.
"Shen Yuan!"
Han Miao shouted.
Shen Yuan stopped. "What is it?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to call your name!"
Han Miao waved her hand. "Safe travels!"
Shen Yuan and the other two stumbled, their pace noticeably quickening as they disappeared into the night.
Girl, if you can't speak properly, don't say things that sound like a funeral send-off!!
Han Miao clenched her fists, feeling the power within her body, and smiled.
Her face beamed, a bright and beautiful smile like a blooming flower.
Han Jin clutched his face, looking suspicious. "Sis, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing!"
Han Miao pointed to the mark on her shoulder. "Dad, Bro, I'm going to be awesome from now on!"
Only then did Father Han and Han Jin notice that the butterfly birthmark had turned into... a phoenix?
Time flew by...
In the blink of an eye, two or three hours had passed.
Shen Yuan used his connections to spread the news.
The upper echelons of the prestigious families in Shanghai all knew...
Shen Yuan had given his fiancée an emperor jade great wall...
And the Han Family had given the ancestral azure phoenix jade in return!
Some of the families who had attended the Tang Family's birthday banquet fell into deep thought.
That emperor jade great wall...
Didn't it belong to the Dragon King?
Is Young Master Shen... borrowing someone else's gift to offer to his own?
A great hunting drama targeting the Little Japanese forces had quietly begun.
None of Shen Yuan's group slept that night.
Ye Han and Lin Yu were at the Han residence, secretly protecting Han Miao.
Xiao Ce and Zhang Xuan, following the location given by Chu Yang, made their way to an unfinished building.
This was the location of the Poison Array; once it was triggered, it would immediately release toxins.
Xiao Ce and Zhang Xuan didn't make a move yet, hiding in the shadows and waiting for Shen Yuan's signal!
When the time came, they would strike from both sides and fight together!
But as it turned out...
The Little Japaneses didn't come!?
