Chapter 80:
The 《Emperor of Heaven and Earth》 featured ten female leads. Each of these female leads had a unique personality and beauty. Some were as cold and stunning as goddesses, some were pure and innocent, some were quirky and clever, and some were gentle and virtuous.
However, all these female leads were once taken advantage of by the original main villain, Xu Ze, and eventually abandoned by him. Nevertheless, not every girl in the world has a perfect personality, and the same goes for the female leads.
In the first nine reincarnations, the female leads Xu Ze pursued were all deeply in love with him, and he also liked these girls. But there was one among them who was completely different from the others. She might have liked Xu Ze, but compared to Xu Ze, she liked something else more: money.
For cultivators, cultivation and self-improvement were their main goals, and wealth was considered external. However, she was money-obsessed, with her greatest ambition being to gather all the world's wealth into her hands. To make more money, she even offered herself to Xu Ze, proactively pursuing the villain.
But later, after Xu Ze heartlessly abandoned her, she either got hurt by him or hated him for not keeping their 'alliance' agreement, which made her unable to earn big money. She joined the group of female leads who sought revenge against Xu Ze.
She was Nalan Qing, the eldest daughter of the future Qiankun No. 1 Chamber of Commerce, the Nalan Chamber of Commerce. Her name suggested purity and uprightness, but her greedy nature gave people headaches. She was also the female lead who made Xu Ze the most helpless and troubled in the nine reincarnations. Since the start of the tenth life, Xu Ze has been reluctant to get involved with her. Now, hearing the name of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce, Xu Ze couldn’t help but frown deeply.
“Even though I will have to meet those two women sooner or later, let's avoid it for now...” Xu Ze sighed repeatedly, holding his forehead.
Actually, dealing with just Nalan Qing alone would be tolerable. Getting pushed over by a woman wasn't something a man would want to talk about. But she also had a sister who was even harder to deal with.
(In Wanjin Province)
The Nalan Chamber of Commerce stood grandly like a palace within the state. A towering structure, floor upon floor, stretched up to the sky. Almost the entire area of Wanjin Province was managed by the Nalan Chamber of Commerce. Various shops, restaurants, and even courtesan houses, as long as there were money transactions, all belonged to the Nalan Chamber of Commerce.
The eldest daughter, Nalan Qing, returned to the city with a grand reception akin to that for royal relatives. The city lord and several sect masters stood at the gate, bowing and greeting her carriage with smiles. However, the procession didn’t stop and proceeded straight into the city, arriving at the Nalan family residence.
Ignoring the relatives who came forward to greet her, Nalan Qing entered the backyard with a cold expression.
“Where is the second miss?” Nalan Qing asked.
A servant beside her respectfully replied, “Miss, the second miss is reading inside.”
Nalan Qing arrived at the door, her cold face softening. “Yun’er, sister is back,” she said softly while gently knocking on the door. There was no response. Nalan Qing patiently pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside, a young girl in a plain white dress sat on a chair. Her orange hair, the same color as her sister’s, cascaded down her shoulders. Unlike her sister’s natural curls, her hair was straight, long, and silky smooth. Her clear, flawless face showed a dazed expression as she stared at a book in her hands.
Nalan Qing smiled warmly, holding a box of snacks.
She walked over to Nalan Yun. “Yun’er, these are your favorite snacks, White Cloud Candy, brought from Cloud City.” She said, opening the box and taking out a white, soft candy.
“Hmm,” Nalan Yun responded woodenly, seemingly uninterested in anything.
“Is it delicious?” Nalan Qing asked, putting a piece of candy into Nalan Yun’s mouth with a smile.
“Hmm,” Nalan Yun replied while chewing and turning a page of her book. Her eyes were black as ink, reflecting only the content of the book.
Nalan Qing sighed helplessly.
She understood her sister’s personality. Even though they both regained memories of their past nine lives, her sister’s character remained unchanged.
“Expressionless, silent, only loves reading books, oh, my sister.” Nalan Qing sighed again, resting her face on her hand as she watched her sister engrossed in her book all day without boredom.
“By the way, do you remember Xu Ze?”
Nalan Yun, who had been indifferent all along, suddenly looked up at Nalan Qing. But soon, she frowned and turned her gaze back to the book,
'S_cumbag.'She uttered a word dully and had nothing more to say.
“Recently, the demonic cultivators from the Demon Abyss have been causing trouble everywhere, looking for the ‘Ten Thousand Paths Sacred Manual.’ Are you aware of this?” Nalan Qing asked, resting her face on her hand.
Nalan Yun remained silent, her face expressionless.
“I suspect that Xu Ze might have already become the Lord of the Demon Abyss in this life,” Nalan Qing sighed. “Originally, I planned to make money off him as before in this life, but since he has already fallen, I have to bring forward my plan to kill this scumbag.”
Nalan Yun turned a page, continuing to read her book.
Nalan Qing continued, “The ‘Ten Thousand Paths Sacred Manual’ is his only reliance for cultivating the 10th level of the Demon God’s Evil Technique. I spread this information, so he will definitely come to our Nalan Chamber of Commerce to seize the book.”
“By then, we will activate our Divine Extinction Array. Even if he is a Consensual Profound Realm expert, he won’t be able to withstand this ancient array and will be reduced to ashes!”
“Then, we can use the title of having destroyed the Lord of the Demon Abyss to gain prestige in the Qiankun Continent and secure the top position in the Qiankun Chamber of Commerce!”
“At that time, all the wealth in the world will fall into my hands, haha!”
Nalan Qing clenched her fist and laughed triumphantly.
Nalan Yun, still focused on her book, muttered, “Not possible.”
Nalan Qing’s triumphant expression froze, looking at Nalan Yun with exasperation, “So, do you have any ideas, sister? You have read all the books in the world. You are our Nalan family’s hope and brain against the scumbag!”
“You provide the brains, I provide the money. Dealing with that scumbag who tricked us for nine lives should be a piece of cake!”
Nalan Qing clenched her fist again, looking confident and joyful.
Nalan Yun, still not lifting her head, uttered one word with her expressionless face, “Not possible.”
For a moment, the room was filled with an awkward atmosphere.
