Chapter 478: Chapter 478: The Drama Queen Duo

"Yueyue..."

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Mingyue looked at her husband.

Cheng Xingjian voiced a speculation, "Do you think, Miss Shi... is she even human?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Mingyue reached out and twisted her husband’s ear, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Shi Yaoguang has been so good to Cheng Lingdang and to the Cheng Family, even contemplating having the Cheng Family replace the Zhao Family as one of the four major families.

Such a good girl, and her husband actually suspects she’s not human!

Facing his wife’s angry and round eyes, Cheng Xingjian knew he hadn’t explained himself clearly, which led to the misunderstanding. He quickly said, "That’s not what I meant. Don’t you know me?"

Xiao Mingyue snorted coldly, "How would I know what you’re thinking?"

Cheng Xingjian lowered his voice, even though there was no one around, he was still very cautious, "Aren’t you curious about Lingdang’s abilities?"

This made Xiao Mingyue naturally curious.

But no matter how curious she was, she had no intention of probing.

Even between a mother and daughter, if Cheng Lingdang doesn’t confide in her voluntarily, she wouldn’t ask further.

It was an unspoken understanding between mother and daughter.

Xiao Mingyue thought of her daughter and then glanced at her husband, warning him, "I’m telling you, don’t you dare have any designs on our daughter."

Cheng Xingjian embraced her and nuzzled against her, "Wife, you’re wronging me, aren’t you? When have I ever had designs on our daughter? She’s the apple of my eye!"

"You’d better recognize the situation."

As she spoke, she suddenly sighed.

Cheng Xingjian looked at her and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xiao Mingyue felt a deep unease, "As long as Zhao Family’s issues remain unresolved, I can’t be at peace."

Xiao Mingyue’s heart was always heavy, but she didn’t want to show it, to avoid worrying others unnecessarily.

Cheng Xingjian looked at his wife and also sighed.

All the talking in the world couldn’t beat concrete actions.

To others, the Cheng Family might seem like an extremely formidable and intimidating entity.

But compared to the Zhao Family, they were still weaker. Otherwise, the Zhao Family wouldn’t dare to bully the Cheng Family.

Forcing Cheng Xingjian to send his daughter to the Zhao Family to cheer up the old man.

...

While the anxious Zhao Family couple was concerned, Shi Yaoguang had already arrived at the Zhao Family’s place with Quan Jinbei.

The two of them had come in disguise.

Using today’s technology, they might be said to have applied special effects makeup.

Shi Yaoguang’s skills were so exquisite that unless you watched the makeup process with your own eyes, even if the person were standing right in front of you, you’d be unable to tell how much they resembled their former selves.

"Who are you?"

The Zhao Family’s people all looked at the two strangers who suddenly appeared in their home, their faces filled with wariness.

The old patriarch of the Zhao Family was in poor health, and as his condition deteriorated day by day, the Zhao Family was anxious and distraught.

In such a situation, they would cling to any hope of treating the old man and wouldn’t give up.

They would be even less willing to let information about the old man’s complete decline leak out to others.

Therefore, the security of the Zhao Family was always extremely tight.

Who would have thought that Shang Minghao, a man with unfathomable methods, appeared a few days ago.

His appearance brought a ray of life and hope to the old patriarch and the Zhao Family.

Today, the two men with pockmarks on their faces who appeared were met with vigilance from the Zhao Family.

Facing their battle-ready stance, the two intruders didn’t show the slightest hint of guilt.

They were extremely calm.

Calm in accepting the ceremonial attention.

Calmly standing there, without the slightest intention of speaking first, the Zhao Family members couldn’t help but ask about their identities.

Shi Yaoguang waited until the timing was right before she leisurely stated, "The Zhao Family is finished."

With one sentence, she successfully directed the ire of the entire Zhao Family onto herself.

The members of the Zhao Family looked at her as if their eyes could shoot fire.

What kind of way is that to talk?

The Zhao Family was doing just fine, so how could it be finished?

She must be some charlatan spouting nonsense!

Just to have one charlatan would be enough, but here came two.

Unbelievable.

While they were pondering this, Shi Yaoguang continued at her leisure, "Whether you believe what we say or not, it doesn’t really matter."

"The Zhao Family’s fate has run its course. Our appearance here today is to bestow upon you a sliver of hope for survival."

"However... it seems you might not actually need it."

As Shi Yaoguang spoke, she let out a long, melancholic sigh, "Since the Zhao Family does not cherish this sliver of hope, there’s no need for us brothers to linger here any longer."

Saying this, she turned to Quan Jinbei, who was also disguised, "Brother, since the Zhao Family does not believe us, we should visit the remaining families instead."

Quan Jinbei replied indifferently with a "hmm," "We can’t let these people dig their own graves. If the four great families are wiped out overnight, it would lead to great turmoil."

Shi Yaoguang nodded in complete agreement.

"If it wasn’t our job, I wouldn’t bother with such an ungrateful task," she admitted.

"If the Zhao Family doesn’t believe us, we will definitely find others who do. By the time the Zhao Family regrets it, I won’t pay them any attention."

Quan Jinbei stretched out his hand and gently ruffled her hair, "I’ll listen to you."

Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes, appearing quite content.

As Quan Jinbei caressed Shi Yaoguang’s hair, a silver-white glow emanated from his palm.

The scene did not seem real at all.

It was like...

Deities descending from the heavens!

But, do deities truly exist in this world?

Another crucial question lingered.

Isn’t it said that all deities are extremely beautiful?

The pair of freckle-faced brothers in front of them didn’t resemble the so-called deities at all.

As they contemplated, Shi Yaoguang’s appearance began to change.

The Zhao Family watched as the freckles on Shi Yaoguang’s face faded away at a visible rate, replaced by skin as clear as ice and bones as fine as jade, a beauty unparalleled.

Shi Yaoguang pouted, seemingly displeased with Quan Jinbei’s actions, complaining, "Brother, don’t use your magic recklessly. It wasn’t easy to make myself look this ugly, and now with your meddling, how can I maintain my unseemly appearance?"

Quan Jinbei spoke in a neutral tone, "You look better this way."

"Not at all," Shi Yaoguang retorted with a snort, displaying a proud and coquettish attitude, "Being this attractive, no one will want to associate with me. Only by being a bit uglier can I blend in with the crowd."

"I don’t want to be outstanding all the time."

After saying this, Shi Yaoguang urged Quan Jinbei, "Hey, brother, why have you not activated the Formation yet? This place of the Zhao Family is gloom- and smog-ridden. I don’t want to stay a moment longer. Let’s hurry up and leave."

Quan Jinbei nodded, forming hand signs, and soon a beam of light landed not far away.

Taking a step forward, Quan Jinbei said to Shi Yaoguang, "Let’s go, don’t waste time."

"Mm-hmm," Shi Yaoguang responded eagerly, "Let’s head to the premier family first. No wonder the Zhao Family can only be second-best. A family full of short-sighted fools. Even second place is too generous for them. Fortunately, the Zhao Family will be finished soon, which will dispel some of my frustration."
