Chapter 656: NPC Kink
Although Ancestral Cang had vanished for quite some time, his power of rules had been devoured by other Primordial Deities.
But Young Master Sang had always been obsessed with delivering the final blow.
The initial escape of his Primordial Spirit instead of sending it into reincarnation had left Young Master Sang restless for several nights.
Hearing news related to the rules of destruction now made him extremely sensitive.
“…Is it possible that other deities who absorbed the rules of destruction did this?”
“Not likely,” Huo Longyuan shook his head. “We only received twenty percent of the power of the rules of destruction, and it isn’t complete.”
“And a rule, if incomplete, is almost useless.”
“The reason we want the rules of destruction is simply that it is the only thing that can enhance the Primordial Spirit. In reality, even if we absorb the rules of destruction, unless we fully absorb the complete rule, it doesn’t matter much.”
“Let alone using the rules of destruction to erase causal and temporal traces directly.”
“Perhaps only the original owner of the rules of destruction can do such a thing.”
Young Master Sang was silent for a long time, then slowly said, “So… we need to prepare for that guy’s return for revenge?”
“There’s no need to worry too much.”
“Not to mention that we can’t even be sure if this has anything to do with Ancestral Cang.” Huo Longyuan said softly, “Even in the worst-case scenario, if Old Woman Xi has already fallen victim to him, that guy with only twenty percent of the rules of power wouldn’t be a threat to us.”
“It’s better not to say such things.”
Young Master Sang shook his head. “We generally call this ‘setting a flag.'”
Huo Longyuan: “?”
“Anyway, thanks to you, Your Majesty. I’ll take this matter seriously.”
Young Master Sang stretched and added, “By the way, there’s one more thing I forgot to ask the king.”
“The five-year mark is approaching. Have you thought about your plans afterward?”
Huo Longyuan fell silent.
After a long while, he quietly glanced at the timid Little Maid shrinking behind the pillar.
“…I plan to take her with me.”
“As long as she agrees, of course it’s fine.” Young Master Sang shrugged. “I don’t even mind hosting a banquet.”
Huo Longyuan smiled.
Young Master Sang rarely saw him smile. He always remembered him as grim and cold-faced.
“Thanks for the blessing.”

In the dead of night, shortly after midnight.
In the Sang residence, Bai Ming paced back and forth in front of a pile of bags and packages, looking worried and a bit angry.
Beside her, Yu Xia and Little Lonely carefully watched her, both afraid to speak.
“Where are they?!” Bai Ming took out the Communication Device and checked the time again. “It’s been almost an hour and a half since we were supposed to meet.”
“Even if there’s overtime, it shouldn’t be this late, right?”
“There’s no need for the lady to be anxious,” Yu Xia gently reassured, “The master might have been delayed by something.”
“Delayed or not, at least a message would suffice.”
Bai Ming complained, “According to the plan, we should already be at the seaside hotel enjoying the bonfire on the beach by now.”
“And now, it seems like the fire is long gone.”
Yu Xia could only awkwardly smile, not daring to say more.
“Enough is enough.”
The angrier Bai Ming got, the more she turned and huffed, “This guy has been slacking off more and more lately, too lazy to even send a message to let us know he’s safe.”
“Aunt Yu, son, we need to punish him so he learns a lesson.”
Yu Xia and Little Lonely blinked in confusion, looking at her.

A few minutes later.
“I’m late!”
Young Master Sang popped through a spatial rift with an embarrassed smile, laughing sheepishly, “Sorry, I just stopped by the National Master’s mansion to ask about something, got delayed—”
Then he looked around the empty hall, frozen for a moment.
“Where is everyone?”
“I already took them to the seaside,” Yan Rouwan, holding a cat, said softly from the yard. “They thought you were too slow and sent me ahead with them.”
Young Master Sang braced himself for the scolding he was about to receive and sighed, then opened another spatial rift.
“Oh right.”
Yan Rouwan suddenly added, “Be careful. I heard them say they’re thinking of a way to punish you.”
Punish me? Young Master Sang blinked.
What would they use to punish me? Aunt Yu’s 36E chest?
Now that’s something to look forward to.
“I don’t know what the punishment is, so good luck,” Yan Rouwan said before continuing to pet her cat.
Curious, Young Master Sang stepped through the rift and arrived at the seaside hotel.
He had been to this hotel many times and easily approached the front desk, softly asking, “Did my wife and child go upstairs?”
“Hello, your room is on the top floor,” the receptionist smiled mechanically.
Young Master Sang: “…I asked if your boss went upstairs.”
“Hello, your room is on the top floor.”
Young Master Sang: “?”
He casually grabbed a passing waiter and asked, “Have you seen your boss?”
“May I help you? We have…” The waiter didn’t acknowledge Young Master Sang and continued reciting the menu.
Young Master Sang clicked his tongue.
…Ah, I think I get it.
Is this Bai Ming’s idea of punishment? Making everyone ignore me, like playing some kind of idle game?
Indeed, for being late and making them wait, it’s quite an appropriate punishment.
It seemed the hotel staff had been instructed to act like NPCs, repeating lines to completely disregard him.
Young Master Sang could guess that even when he went upstairs and met Bai Ming, Little Lonely, and Yu Xia, they would likely do the same and ignore him.
With this curiosity in mind, Young Master Sang made his way to the rooftop room and pushed the door open.
Little Lonely was sitting on the sofa, fiddling with the Communication Device. When Young Master Sang entered, the little one sneaked a glance at him before quickly looking away, pretending he hadn’t seen anything.
“Good son.”
Young Master Sang scooped Little Lonely up in his arms, “Tell Dad, what does your mother plan to do to punish me?”
“Wow, this game is really good,” Little Lonely said anxiously, then read a line in a very exaggerated manner.
“Are you going to help your dad or your mom?”
“Wow… this game… is so much fun…”
Seeing that the little one was becoming increasingly uneasy, Young Master Sang didn’t push it further and turned to the balcony.
Bai Ming had changed into a stunning backless evening gown today and was sitting at a small table on the balcony with Yu Xia, both sipping wine.
“What a beautiful starry sky.”
“Indeed.”
Hearing their synchronized responses, Young Master Sang waved his hand in front of them.
Sure enough, neither turned to acknowledge him.
Hey.
This is interesting. Young Master Sang licked his lips.
They like to play NPC, huh?
“Have you, a little yellow book author, never heard of a certain kind of gameplay?”
“…It’s called NPC Kink, right?” Young Master Sang whispered into Bai Ming’s ear.
In an instant, both Yu Xia and Bai Ming’s bodies trembled lightly.
