Netherworld Retrograde

Chapter 660: Chapter 309: After Drinking_2

As descendants of the Supreme Bloodline, they could shoulder certain responsibilities that outsiders could not.

The rise of the Jing Family was greatly related to the first generation Divine Son.

During the catastrophe period, the ancestors of the Jing family, engulfed by the Disaster Fog, had made a certain pact with a powerful being, leading to the birth of the first generation Divine Son.

The Divine Son, gifted with extraordinary talents, ascended to kingship within a few years, leading the humanity devoured by the Disaster Fog to reverse the tide of war.

In the end, at the cost of his own life, he slayed the Catastrophe Fog Master.

Destroying a forming Forbidden Zone, he also saved many humans.

Thereafter, the surviving humans established Yaoqing Giant City. This led to the rise of the Jing Family, and they continued with measures to birth more Divine Sons.

The second generation Divine Son was born, his mother being an elder sister of Jing Ji, the person with the highest compatibility at that time.

However, due to compatibility issues, the mother died of exhaustion after giving birth to the Divine Son.

And the second generation Divine Son, failing to reach his potential, died in a conspiracy.

Afterward, the Jing Family continued to select suitable candidates.

But the fitting mother, Jing Lian, managed to escape the Jing family with the intervention of a Wilderness Ranger, causing the three veins a lot of trouble over the years.

Currently, they were once again in opposition with the main family due to the Divine Blood.

Jing Nuo of the three veins, though not the highest in compatibility, was far superior to the other female members of the Jing Family. She became one of the selections for nurturing the Blood Son.

However, the younger members of the three veins, headed by Jing Lin, did not think the same.

As Jing Lin said to Li Yelai, who could bear to see their beloved sister become a monster’s breeding tool?

Divine Son? Immortal Gods? Weren’t those just bizarre creatures from the Void Realm?

Therefore, even if Jing Nuo resigned herself to her fate, Jing Lin, as her brother, would never consent to it!

His father and grandfather accepted his choice.

And the official of No.3 Border City also quietly offered some help.

In a secure facility of the Giant City, Jing Lin looked at his sister and said gravely, “The Night General has now become a Champion Agent, as long as we’re within the Border City, they wouldn’t dare do anything rash. Don’t worry, I have a life-or-death friendship with the Night General, even if their main house comes strongly and tries to forcibly take you away, they will pay a heavy price!”

“How could the officials of the Giant City offend a Family just for me? It’s already good enough that they found us a safe house,” Jing Nuo shook her head, thinking that Jing Lin was just trying to comfort her.

“Don’t underestimate Ye Lai…” Jing Lin grinned.

Of course, the Giant City wouldn’t normally intervene in a dispute within a Family but… the Ember Church, that bunch of madmen, had no such constraints.

If the main family team encountered a legion of the Blood God Sect in the wilderness, they could probably only rue their misfortune.

The might of the Emperor’s Fall Chosen One was indeed terrifying.

“However, I don’t know what Ye Lai has been busy with. I sent him a message last night, planning to celebrate with him, but he hasn’t replied yet,” Jing Lin looked at his phone, puzzled. “He hasn’t replied until now. He just became a Champion Agent yesterday, and is he slacking off today?”

In fact, many other external families planned to make contact and engage with the Champion Agent.

With the Divine Treasure Immortal Palace about to open, building a good relationship with the Champion Agent might help them gain assistance within the Immortal Palace.

Unfortunately, none of them could contact Li Yelai.

Even those who directly visited the East City Branch couldn’t find Li Yelai.

However, although Li Yelai was the Champion Agent, each team had their specific tasks, and with Deputy Team Leader Zu Chao in charge, there were no mishaps.

Although the Giant City had granted Li Yelai authority, they didn’t keep him too busy.

So, even though they knew Li Yelai might be loafing, the officials didn’t really care.

…

And elsewhere, in a family apartment at the East City Branch, within a dim living room.

Li Yelai felt his mouth dry and his tongue parched, the agony brought by alcohol left his consciousness unreturned.

After all, it was fruit wine brewed by an Overlord-Level Extraordinary Creature. Even Li Yelai’s physical strength couldn’t withstand it.

One might say that few among those with the Sixth Sense could withstand such intoxication.

Then, amidst his daze, Li Yelai sensed flickering lights and shadows in front of him.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw a girl reaching out with her pale arm to pick up a bottle of mineral water.

After opening the cap, she didn’t hand it to Li Yelai but instead drank it herself.

Water droplets slipped from the corner of her bitten lip.

They slid down her slim, pale neck marked with several red streaks.

They slid past her delicate and soft, but now bitten, collarbone.

The droplets fell from her collarbone, across the ripped neckline of her pink shirt, down toward the snow-white peak stained with red marks and bite marks…

And the girl’s hot pants were also pulled up, revealing her pale thigh, covered by a right hand.

Wait, was that his hand?

Li Yelai widened his eyes in panic, only to see the girl’s cheek drawing near…

…

What was I doing?

Li Yelai instantly rose, his body drenched in cold sweat.

“Doll…” his voice hoarse and panicked, he was sweaty and felt an extreme headache.

He staggered up from the sofa and looked around.

Only to find that he had already returned home.

Back to his own living room, with a small blanket covering him.

“Bro, you finally woke up.” Li Yunyan, sitting at the dining table, complained, “You guys drank quite a bit.”

Li Yelai, clutching his forehead, still felt the misery of the hangover. But he couldn’t be bothered with that now and urgently asked, “Where’s Doll?”

As he spoke, Li Yelai felt a stinging pain on his lips. Not just that, his body ached faintly everywhere.

“She… after bringing you back, left. I told you before, be careful about safety when going out…” Li Yunyan responded, her eyes darting to Li Yelai’s lips, her face odd, mumbling to herself, ‘Sister Cheese would probably cry if she saw this…’

“Hiss, how is she?” Li Yelai sucked in a breath of cold air due to the pain from the wound on his lips.

“I don’t know. She was wearing a frog doll costume, so I couldn’t see her complexion,” Li Yunyan shook her head.

Then, her eyes twinkled as she asked, “What happened to her? Or rather, what happened between you two? Spill it!”

But Li Yelai didn’t respond; instead, he went to the bathroom.

Looking in the mirror at his bitten lips.

Confirming that the images before were neither hallucinations nor dreams.

Li Yelai’s face turned pale, and he felt a surge of panic.

He had just accused Ye Han of being a scumbag, exploiting his curse resistance to scheme against those girls. And now he himself… had been abusing a friend.

Damn it, how was he any different from Ye Han then?

Li Yelai slapped his cheeks hard to make himself more alert and calmer.

He then picked up a communicator to inquire about Doll’s whereabouts.

…

On the other side, Doll saw the message, hesitated a long time without replying, and instead typed in a group chat.
