Chapter 218: 134 Unreasonable Demand (First Update)

To be fair, Fang Mengyao’s game upgrade system in her hands was an exceptional existence, far more powerful than a real Space superpower user’s capabilities. Unfortunately, human desire is never satisfied, and ever since she initially received a system alert informing her that the jade jewelry Fang Jintang had gifted to Fang Yuxin contained a valuable treasure, she had coveted it endlessly.

Unfortunately for her, Fang Yuxin foiled her schemes time after time, leaving her unable to obtain the item and feeling incredibly frustrated. This time, to avoid suspicion, she had used almost all her points to upgrade her system, so much so that she hadn’t even had time to exchange them for skills. Without impressive skills, she couldn’t enhance her strength, and as the zombies grew more threatening, how could she possibly feel at ease?

That entire night, Fang Mengyao slept restlessly. Qiu Yiming was still not over Fang Yuxin, and now there was the mysteriously powerful and newly-appeared Bai Ye, who was rumored to have had a son with Fang Yuxin. This made Mengyao feel particularly uncomfortable.

She didn’t consider herself inferior to Yuxin in any way, so why did Yuxin get all the things she had dreamt of? And the jade—if it really was a storage space like in the novels—she absolutely had to get her hands on it!

Qiu Yiming also had a sleepless night. He tried hard to convince himself to believe what Yuxin had said, but when he returned home and received Zhou Fanghua’s furious backlash, demanding he break off his engagement with Yuxin and make a clean break, it left him feeling deeply humiliated and resentful.

Zhou Fanghua had bluntly spoken the ’truth’ he had always been unwilling to face, making him feel as if he was covered in green.

He had had enough of this feeling!

What distressed him even more was that Bai Ye’s strength had surpassed his! Although neither had fought seriously in their encounter, he could tell that Bai Ye’s current strength was significantly stronger than his.

This made him feel inept, and even more urgently wanting to improve his strength.

His mood was extremely irritable, feeling that ever since he and Bai Yu had made a pact to set a death trap for Bai Ye, his days had spiraled into misfortune. First, his attempt to capture Bai Qianqian had failed, and instead, she had encountered Fang Yuxin. Not only could he no longer harm Bai Qianqian, but Yuxin now also had a son of dubious origin.

Then, when he sent men to kill Bai Ye, without Bai Qianqian as a hostage, he had no leverage over Bai Ye, and despite losing many men, Bai Ye was still alive and well.

Moreover, Yuxin was becoming increasingly cold towards him, and now she even wanted to break off their engagement!

She must be dreaming! He would never agree to that!

Qiu Yiming then thought of Mengyao again. He wasn’t a fool; he instantly recognized the kind of person Mengyao was, and had also uncovered that she possessed undisclosed powerful assets. Initially, he had kept her by his side just to obtain those assets, but things had not gone smoothly. Consequently, Yuxin grew even more distant from him, and Mengyao, sensing something, hid her secrets even more securely.

As Qiu Yiming lay in bed, he felt miserable. Zhou Fanghua was his mother, and even if she was in the wrong, as her son, he couldn’t completely disregard her opinions.

Now, the matter between Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin had reached Zhou Fanghua’s ears, and her hysterical reaction had made it clear to Qiu Yiming that he had to make a choice.

Mengyao was smarter than he had thought; to gain her trust, he could no longer afford to remain distant. And with Zhou Fanghua enraged, to calm her down, he would probably have to distance himself from Yuxin temporarily.

If it had been before, Qiu Yiming wouldn’t have felt so distressed. Because both of them were busy, they usually spent little time together, hardly even sharing meals.

Thus, a temporary separation wouldn’t be unacceptable to him.

However, Bai Ye was now in the Safe Zone!

Driven by a man’s intuition, Qiu Yiming felt sure that Bai Ye harbored ill intentions towards Yuxin. How could he possibly rest easy? If Bai Ye took advantage of his separation from Yuxin, he would surely regret it profoundly!

Worried about this, he could hardly sleep all night, and simply got up to cultivate. But his mind was a jumbled mess, totally unable to settle down—how was he supposed to cultivate like this?
