Chapter 626: The Outcome of Nanliang is Beichao
Making loans takes a bit of time.
After all, not every Primordial Deity is like Ancestral Cang, ready to grab at opportunities with the speed of lightning.
Take Xu Yao for example. Upon seeing the loan, he squinted, pondering it over carefully.
But in the end, instead of jumping at the chance, he found himself suddenly saying, “Interesting.”
Then he not only didn’t take out a loan but also didn’t spend a single point in the points marketplace.
And then there was Old Woman Xi.
When she saw the loan, a sly smile flashed across her aged eyes.
“Interesting. This kid wants to play an open scheme with us.”
“But unfortunately…”
“Old me really enjoys this kind of thing.”
In Tianlang City, Huo Longyuan stared deeply at the loan listing in the points register, falling into silence.
Eventually, he could only shake his head slowly.
“So that’s how it is.”
“What a frustrating open scheme.”
Gathering the Communication Device, he continued to focus on handling affairs without distraction.

After that, to keep his promise, Young Master Sang decided to be kind-hearted and didn’t call Li Shanyan back.
He had been a heartless boss for too long. Occasionally giving some benefits to his employees and accumulating some good karma isn’t a bad thing.
For the next few days, Young Master Sang simply set up camp in the office. First, it avoided the endless demands of the women at home; second, if any of them came looking for him, the office environment would still have its charm.
Once word got out that Young Master Sang was living in the office, it didn’t take long for someone to come looking for him.
Surprisingly, the first to arrive was Meng Qiyan.
“Brother Sang, the sofa in the office is so uncomfortable to sleep on.”
Sitting on the table, Meng Qiyan blinked her beautiful eyes at him with anticipation: “Come to our place! We’ve prepared a big bed just for you, Brother Sang. It’s big enough for you to sleep with a dozen people!”
“Uh… maybe not.”
Young Master Sang broke into a cold sweat and forced a laugh: “I like sleeping in small beds.”
No kidding.
With the way Meng Qiyan was looking at him like a starving wolf, who knew if he’d make it out alive if he stepped into her territory.
Seeing Young Master Sang’s disinterest, Meng Qiyan can only pout and gently lie down on his lap, idly fiddling with the Communication Device.
“You don’t seem too busy lately.”
“Isn’t that all thanks to your boss’s blessings?” Meng Qiyan rolled her eyes: “After that passionate 4P in the office, Sister Yubing was so pumped that she dragged me and Shi Qingyan to work all night, managing to finish all the backlog.”
“Plus, there haven’t been any new tasks from the Heavenly Punishment Department lately. I was planning to stay at home for a few days and keep Little Ying You and Little Lonely company.”
Recalling the horrifying scene from that day, Young Master Sang’s expression also grew tense.
“…So next time, at least save me some face in front of the employees. Forcing me into the office in front of Li Shanyan? If that gets out, will I still sit on the position of Demon Cultivators Sect Leader?”
Meng Qiyan suddenly seemed to think of something amusing and flipped over, her beautiful eyes teasingly chirping:
“Oh? Does Brother Sang not like our special service the other day?”
It wasn’t that he didn’t like it.
But being forcibly pinned down by three ravenous women wasn’t exactly a delightful experience.
Not to mention, at that time, Young Master Sang was already in a psychological shadow. That little episode in the office didn’t just worsen the symptoms; it had him moody for days.
“That damn Xu Hongyi…”
Mentioning Young Master Sang’s psychological fear, Meng Qiyan ground her teeth: “One day, I’ll chop her up into meat paste with my own hands.”
Young Master Sang laughed awkwardly.
However, ever since coming back from the Falling Red Domain, he had surprisingly not heard any news about Xu Hongyi.
It was as if she had evaporated into thin air, and she shockingly hadn’t been bothering him anymore.
If it were before, Young Master Sang might have thought that this woman had finally woken up and was no longer fixated on him, a nobody.
But now, Young Master Sang understood that Xu Hongyi was fixated on him because he was the reincarnation of the First Deity/Demon.
So her quietness only made him feel more uneasy.
“I don’t expect you all to do anything to Xu Hongyi.”
Young Master Sang stretched lazily: “After all, she’s a Primordial Deity. There’s no need for us mere mortals to contend with her.”
Meng Qiyan still looked a bit aggrieved, pouting: “But… but watching Brother Sang being bullied like that, I can’t swallow this anger!”
…When you bullied me, you were hardly better than her. Young Master Sang couldn’t help but feel speechless.
“Sigh, looks like Sister Qiyan thinks her brother’s body is unclean.”
Young Master Sang suddenly sighed dramatically, wearing a sad expression: “In the end, I’m just a sad flower picked by others, not worthy of such a high standard as you.”
“It’s probably that all these years seeing my body has bored you, so you’re digging up old stories to find fault with me now.”
“No, no way!” Meng Qiyan quickly defended, “I could never think that way!”
“Don’t say Brother Sang was forced; even if he willingly brought back countless women, I wouldn’t mind.”
“I… I just want to be by Brother Sang’s side, as long as you don’t throw me away…”
Young Master Sang was enjoying Meng Qiyan’s nervous reaction when suddenly, he heard a cold voice from behind: “A big man like you should stop with the dainty talk.”
He turned around to find Shi Qingyan standing behind him, her crimson gaze just fading, as if she had just returned from blood demon form.
“Sister Shi? When did you arrive?”
“Since you started babbling like ‘Sang Daiyu’,” Shi Qingyan shot him an exasperated look, then sat next to Meng Qiyan.
“Sister Qiyan, let me tell you, for a flirty guy like Sang who plays hard to get, you should be a bit rough. Don’t spoil him.”
“He’s only messing with you because you look easy to bully. Next time he gets all coy, just flatten him to the ground. The more coy he gets, the more you should enjoy it.”
…Can’t you teach some good behavior? Young Master Sang was sweating all over.
Meng Qiyan realized that Young Master Sang was just teasing her for fun and wasn’t really angry, so she gazed at him with a hint of resentment.
“Brother Sang…”
“Ahem.” Young Master Sang, feeling guilty, looked away: “Seems like Sister Shi has some business with you, so I won’t disturb you. I’ll just head to the cafeteria for a bite—”
But before he could even step out, the office door was kicked open by Shi Qingyan.
“Offended the master and now you want to leave?”
“Rules of the martial world. The outcome of Nanliang is Beichao. Since you just acted all fragile, don’t blame us for being rough now.”
Looking at the two women circling him with glinting eyes, Young Master Sang instantly regretted it.
…As expected, being overly mischievous does come back to bite you.
