Chapter 206: Chapter 177: Deadly Grudge

Modern times, Sang Family living room, November 7th, 4:15 p.m.

The northern small town has already entered winter. The air is dry and cold, and the elderly have already put on down jackets. There are still a few days until the 15th for heating.

Sang Que walked out of the bedroom wearing thick pajamas, stretching and yawning. She collapsed onto the sofa and took out her phone to order takeout.

After spending half a month in the Deceit Dynasty, holding a phone in her hand now felt somewhat unreal.

She returned in the morning, had a meal at noon, and then started sleeping. She woke up after two o’clock in the afternoon, and only then did she start making up stories to reply to the messages Jiang Zao and Xu Yichao sent her during this time.

There were also messages from other people. It took her two hours just to reply to them.

A huge black object suddenly jumped onto the sofa and tried to lick Sang Que’s face. Sang Que hurriedly pushed away the grown black dog.

“Don’t lick me, your mouth stinks.”

The Five Black Dogs, renamed to Great General, wagged its tail vigorously, pouncing on Sang Que with enthusiasm, almost knocking her over. Mainly, it could sense that Sang Que was not entirely ’clean’ and was trying its method to help lick her clean.

Sang Que regretted not bringing Xuan Yu back. With Xuan Yu around, the Great General wouldn’t be pestering her.

“Mom—help—”

Sang Que shouted, and Sang Wan came out of the study, adorned with prosthetics, and her walk was already very close to that of a normal person. She wore pajamas of the same style as Sang Que.

Seeing Sang Que and the Great General playing on the sofa, she couldn’t help but smile and jokingly said, “You could smack it down with one slap, why need my help? Great General, come here.”

As soon as Sang Wan called, the Great General immediately got off the sofa and squatted by Sang Wan’s feet, eyes bright and loyal.

Sang Que adjusted her clothes, not knowing where the Great General had stepped on her phone.

“It’s not like I can bear hitting it, you know.” Finding her phone, Sang Que sat down. “Mom, do you want milk tea? I have a coupon, the second cup is half price.”

Sang Wan came over and sat down, with the Great General following closely, lying at Sang Wan’s feet.

“You’ve even learned to use coupons to save money now? That half month of work wasn’t for nothing, huh? Realizing making money isn’t easy?”

Sang Que gave a wry smile, “Yes, I know now. School is still the most relaxing. If we weren’t forced, who would want to work those crappy jobs.”

Sang Wan picked up the notebook and pen placed beside her. “Alright, you’re fed and rested, now start the routine process and tell me about your half-month work experience at the Evil Suppression Bureau.”

Woof!

The Great General barked loudly in response, looking as if it was accompanying Sang Wan to interrogate a criminal.

Sang Que started narrating slowly, and she kept explaining until the milk tea was delivered. After drinking the milk tea, she cooked dinner with her mom. After finishing dinner, she finally explained everything that happened over the past half month.

At the dining table, Sang Que munched on a chicken wing while recalling if she missed anything.

Sang Wan furrowed her brows in thought and said to Sang Que, “Little Que, your identity is probably going to be exposed.”

“Huh?”

The chicken wing in Sang Que’s hand fell into the bowl. Her thinking ability had improved a lot now. By recalling what she just told her mom, she could understand what her mom meant.

“Mom, are you saying He Buning might suspect that I’m his sister because of the Gambling Ghost incident? But what if the Gambling Ghost wasn’t attacking him at the time, but my father whom I’ve never met?”

Sang Wan analyzed, “I don’t understand ghost matters, but the Gambling Ghost originated in Wangshan City. The people it previously killed were all near Wangshan City. No matter how the Gambling Ghost determines the sequence of relatives, distance is always an issue, right?”

“Your biological father is most likely in Shengjing, which is far from Wangshan City. Your biological mother is missing, but since you were discovered in modern times and only the Yansheng coin can traverse both worlds, I suspect she is more likely in modern times.”

Sang Que understood, “Right, considering the distance, He Buning is within Qinzhou territory, and the Gambling Ghost’s rules prioritize killing him as it’s more convenient. Shengjing has tight defenses, even if the Gambling Ghost’s rules can ignore distance, it probably can’t just kill people in Shengjing.”

“Will He Buning be alright?” Sang Wan asked cautiously.

Sang Que shook her head, “Honestly, I don’t know, but at least he’s a Night Travel Captain with fourth-level Ghost capabilities, and should be able to resist the Gambling Ghost’s attack, at most…get injured.”

“Have you thought about how to remedy this?” Sang Wan asked.

Sang Que lost her appetite and wiped her hands with a wet towel. “If they really figure it out, then so be it. He’s not particularly evil. We probably won’t be like family, just treat him as a friend in the future.”
