Let s Squander A Billion First! - Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (36)
One year later.

The Demon Clan and the Human race were at an impasse, but ultimately, through various negotiations, both sides decided to sign a temporary peace treaty.

Temporary meant—once things went back to normal, fighting would resume, and no one would escape it.

As Chuzheng achieved her pinnacle accomplishment, she returned the position of Demon Monarch to the previous one.

While the two factions fought, Chuzheng almost bought up every purchasable shop on both sides, becoming the wealthiest on both the human and demon sides.

Human Race: “…”

Demon Clan: “…”

They were fighting, but the instigator was taking the opportunity to make a fortune!

Chu·Wealthiest of Both Races·Zheng: “…” I didn’t want to, it was Bastard who forced me.

“Miss Chuzheng, Miss Chuzheng, something’s happened!”

“I’m fine.” I’m perfectly okay! Why are you cursing me!

“No… it’s about Mr. Li Tang.” The demon took a breath, “Mr. Li Tang and Lin Chen have started fighting.”

“Lin Chen?” This guy isn’t dead yet? Now looking to hassle me with the Good Person Card!! “He’s still alive?”

“Yes, yes.” That’s not the point! “Miss Chuzheng, please go have a look.”

–

Lin Chen and Li Tang were fighting on a street, attracting a sizable crowd of onlookers at this point.

Lin Chen was enveloped in Demonic Qi, almost substantial in its density.

As Li Tang clashed with him, the surroundings were the ones to suffer, with the radius of the battle constantly expanding.

By the time Chuzheng arrived, the battle was over, and Lin Chen lay among the ruins, his fate unknown.

Li Tang was standing, but he also appeared injured.

“Are you okay?”

Li Tang shook his head: “I’m fine.”

“Then let’s go.” Chuzheng didn’t ask anything, showing no concern for why he’d fought Lin Chen.

Chuzheng indeed looked at results.

From the starting point to the destination, there are many paths; how one got there doesn’t matter, what matter is the destination.

Li Tang glanced at Lin Chen and nodded, “Mm.”

Chuzheng left with Li Tang, and the rest of the onlookers, seeing the show was over, began to disperse too, leaving Lin Chen behind.

Someone approached Lin Chen.

As Lin Chen’s consciousness gradually cleared, he looked up at the person before him: “Junior sister.”

“Senior brother.” Song Fenglan smiled at him, “How are you doing?”

“Junior sister, I…”

Song Fenglan gently touched Lin Chen’s shoulder, her tone soothing, “Senior brother, do you know how desperate I felt when you didn’t save me back then?”

“Sorry, I…”

Song Fenglan’s pretty face twisted twistedly, “You professed your love for me, how did you treat me? Do you know what I’ve gone through to survive?”

“Junior sister…” Surprised, guilty…terror, agony, then everything faded to silence.

Song Fenglan retracted her hand, appearing she might laugh, but tears were continuously streaming down.

Boom—

Chuzheng turned her head, there was a billowing dust cloud in the distance, along with the voice from the King’s Account reminding her that the mission was complete.

“Where are we going?”

Chuzheng, with a calm expression, looked ahead, “To a place without anyone.”

That way, Bastard won’t issue any more tasks.

Then this poor little thing won’t be controlled by life.

Li Tang paused, “Me with you?”

“Mm.”

Li Tang looked intently at her, indescribable feelings welling up inside him, and after a moment, he reached out to grab Chuzheng’s hand, “I will take good care of you.”

“Take good care of yourself.” Chuzheng’s face was impassive.

“…”

Chuzheng found a secluded place; her days consisted of either basking in the sun or sleeping.

Li Tang busied himself building up their place of residence, turning it from desolate to a refined little attic.

The Heart Demon was going crazy.

It was just the two of them here; Li Tang wouldn’t have significant emotional fluctuations, happy every day like a fool.

It hadn’t even gotten out yet!

Consider its feelings!

—Don’t you have any ambition?

“Ambition?” Li Tang looked at the person in the distance, “She is my ambition.”

—What about those who once humiliated you, do you really intend to let them go just like that?

Li Tang’s mind was abruptly filled with that not-so-pleasant memory.

Li Tang lowered his eyes, speaking indifferently, “Don’t waste your effort, I’m not leaving this place.”

The Heart Demon appeared suddenly.

Li Tang walked toward Chuzheng, bathed in light.

He crouched down, pulling the thin blanket over her, and bent down to kiss her forehead.

Since she had taken him away from that dark, filthy dungeon, his heart had belonged to her.

It was hers now, it would be in the future, forever hers.

When Chuzheng woke up, it was deep into the night; she was lying in Li Tang’s arms, both squeezed onto a narrow couch, with Chuzheng almost lying on top of Li Tang.

“Awake?” Li Tang touched her head, “Still sleepy?”

Chuzheng shook her head, pushing him aside to lie on the couch by herself, which was much more comfortable.

Li Tang wasn’t annoyed, squatting beside her, “Chuzheng.”

“Hmm?”

Li Tang looked up, his eyes reflecting the brilliant Milky Way, “Shall we get married?”

“Get married?”

Li Tang nodded, “Get married.”

“I don’t want to.”

Li Tang: “…” Rejected again.

——Won’t you listen to me? By then you can do whatever you want for the wedding, don’t refuse the power!

Li Tang: “Shut up!”

Chuzheng looked at him, “What did you say?” The Good Person Card actually yelling at her?!

“No, nothing.”

“You told me to shut up.”

“No, not you,” Li Tang quickly explained, “I was… I was…”

“Were what?”

Li Tang took a deep breath resignedly, “The Heart Demon, it’s always tempting me.”

“The Heart Demon…” That damned thing is still around?

Li Tang used to turn dark at the slightest provocation because of that damn thing causing trouble.

“How can we get rid of it?” Chuzheng asked.

Li Tang started to shake his head, then a glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, stopping abruptly, “My Heart Demon arose because of you; if you would marry me, it would surely be destroyed.”

Chuzheng: “…”

After a moment, Chuzheng nodded.

Li Tang suddenly picked up Chuzheng, spinning in place, “I’ll give you a grand wedding.”

“There’s no need for that much trouble.” Chuzheng broke free from him and shook out a red cloth, covering Li Tang’s head with it.

Ancient wedding ceremonies… seemed to be like this.

Yes! Just like this!

The bridal veil! That’s it!

Li Tang: “…”

Li Tang pulled off the cloth, which… looked like a Spiritual Artifact? He knew she was rich, but did she just casually produce a Spiritual Artifact? What did that mean?

“A wedding can’t be…”

Chuzheng covered him again, “Don’t take it off.”

Li Tang: “…”

Not that, even if this was a wedding veil, it wasn’t supposed to be on his head!

“Hold on, let me explain…”

“Try taking it off.” Chuzheng threatened him.

Li Tang pinched a corner of the veil but ultimately didn’t dare to lift it.

Chuzheng stood to the side deep in thought, what should they do next?

After a long wait with no sound from Li Tang, he reached out towards Chuzheng relying on his senses.

Chuzheng gave him her hand, the warmth of her palm reassuring Li Tang somewhat.

He had thought she might have run away.

“A wedding isn’t like this, I’ll prepare…”

“Right, the First Bow to Heaven and Earth!” Chuzheng remembered the key part, pulling Li Tang to stand under the moonlight.

“First Bow to Heaven and Earth.”

Li Tang: “…”

“Why aren’t you bowing?”

Li Tang: “…”
