Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1034: Chapter 498: [In Progress]

“It’s nothing… just, my tongue got a little burnt…” The Doll could only shake her head, feeling embarrassed to admit that she ended up suffering while trying to ‘punish’ Cheese.

The bitter taste of the coptis powder mixed with the scalding black coffee turned into a truly awful dark cooking.

It was practically tormenting her taste buds… even now, she could still feel some discomfort on her tongue.

“Burnt?”

Li Yelai felt a touch of distress but also puzzlement; not to mention the Doll’s physique as a Sixth-Sense Spiritual Ability User, those spirit fruit blessings alone should prevent her from getting burnt.

“Uh…” The Doll stuck her tongue out, seemingly wanting Li Yelai to examine her ‘injury.’

She glanced toward the living room, confirming that Cheese and Li Yunyan were watching TV.

She quietly set up an air wall, blocking the sounds in the kitchen.

Li Yelai examined the Doll’s pink tongue, seeing no sign of injury.

“Seems like there’s no…”

But then the Doll stepped forward, stood on tiptoe… and Li Yelai felt the soft wet touch on his lips.

Alright, Cheese ultimately underestimated the naive and innocent one’s courage.

The Doll was bolder than expected…

The blend of lips and teeth made the Doll a bit addicted.

After a long time, she finally let go, blushing and saying, “Now… it’s much better…”

“Ah.” Li Yelai’s ears turned a bit red.

The Doll softly whispered, “Also, Xiao Ye… it’s Friday today.”

Li Yelai nodded, wondering what this meant.

At this moment, Li Yelai’s communicator rang.

In the wilderness, the communicator had no signal, just sitting as decoration.

Now that Li Yelai was back in Giant City, the communicator was reactivated.

Li Yelai picked up the communicator, seeing several messages, the earliest being the official congratulations. Also, the merit points and Giant City Coin rewards for the recent Ten Thousand Dragon Lake operation and destroying the ‘Yama’ organization.

1500 merit points and a million Giant City Coins as a bonus.

Li Yelai had plenty of merit points, so no worries there.

Regarding the bonus, Li Yelai didn’t seem to have anywhere to spend it.

As a Spiritual Ability User, especially one with the Kunpeng Myth Path, Li Yelai’s speed was extremely fast.

Even without using the Shadow Army, he could break the sound barrier. Conventional vehicles were no longer useful.

Also, with the Vehicle Killer, buying a car didn’t seem safe…

Li Yelai pondered, then checked the second message.

It was a message from the East City Branch reception, saying that the Jing Family sent members to invite Li Yelai and others to the Jing Family’s Mansion tonight.

Jing Lin seemed to be hosting a celebration banquet for Li Yelai.

It was said that some members from Spiritual Ability families would also attend. Representatives from the Hong Family of Lava Mine City, the Mo Family of No.1 Border City, and the Ma Family of the Second Border City seemed to send some representatives to celebrate Li Yelai.

These families planned to head to Ten Thousand Dragon Lake, incidentally, or you might say barely incidentally, to celebrate Li Yelai.

Jing Lin was indeed a good brother.

Li Yelai felt warmth in his heart, planning to join him for a drink later.

Not realizing the hidden dangers in this invitation, or the folks eager for the spectacle…

Jing Lin, that cunning guy, quietly set up another gamble.

After that, there were congratulations from various official friends.

Among them, Shadow Stream shared that her brother, Starfire, ate offerings again, and perhaps his physique was fortified, as he didn’t have an upset stomach this time.

And the Detective…

“Night General, I took on a private job. The employer is a Spiritual Ability family, but they don’t want to alert the officials. Could you spare some time… to come by?”

This left Li Yelai speechless; the Detective truly enjoyed taking private jobs.

From the time Li Yelai became a Spiritual Ability User to reaching Sixth Sense, even becoming a Great Spiritual Ability User.

The Detective never abandoned this passion.

Even knowing Li Yelai became the Champion.

He still had to ask, guessing the private job wasn’t small.

Considering the commotion each time working with the Detective.

Li Yelai suspected this private job wouldn’t be smooth, needing to report to the officials beforehand.

Thus, Li Yelai responded on the communicator.

“Sure, I’ll contact you later.”

Then Li Yelai and the Doll left the kitchen, returning to the living room.

Informing everyone about Jing Lin’s invitation and the Detective’s private job.

“The banquet invites us too?” Cheese’s eyes flickered at the words, noticing the lingering blush on the Doll’s face, feeling a bit amused.

He chuckled lightly, “Your good brother sure is considerate.”

“This cousin is indeed considerate.” Li Yunyan held back laughter.

“Yeah.” Li Yelai sighed.

“Let’s go then, it’s a good chance to celebrate you. Since the Jing Family is willing to be generous for your celebration, we might as well go for the free food and drink.”

The Doll nodded too.

Then there’s the private job…

“Don’t want to alert the officials, but can alert.”
