Chapter 126 - The sŀut is back Part 1

Su Lin instantly turned back and glared at Monkey. What a jerk!

"Don't even think about laying a finger on my little white!!" she angrily scoffed.

Su Lin then petted the cute little thing and comforted it. She even carefully gave the fluffy little creature a small bath in a nearby puddle and hand-fed it some roasted mashed meat.

Everyone gasped at this strange sight. Is this really our ... cough... heartless... cough... master?

It was obvious that this little creature, that had come out of nowhere, had suddenly overtaken them in rankings.

Monkey looked at his poor brother sadly and comforted him, "Don't worry bro. Maybe with a makeover, you can topple that little thing's status."

Luther nodded seriously, with his eyes still fixed on the cute thing and the loving woman next to it. Perhaps his handsomeness was not enough...

"I need to work hard indeed."

The rest of the week went by much smoother and pretty eventless, as the group worked hard at their cultivation progress.

The pack of wolves that had attacked them was probably the only enhanced beasts that roamed this area.

Weeks turned into months and slowly the group moved from the eastern Himalayan ranges to almost the far end of the western Himalayan ranges, inhaling the energy around them and steadily progressing their cultivation.

Hangzhou city:

Shi Estate:

Yilu Meng, Shi Meng's mother had a face full of smiles and was downing her fifth glass of champagne.

With the Liang family finally moved next door, it was a small joyous reunion between the Han family, Liang family, and the Shi family.

After all, it has been several months now, since the late mayor Tang Zen and his daughter Tang Yue had passed away due to unfortunate circumstances.

Time heals all wounds, with the dead ever so slowly disappearing from the lives of the living.

As mama Meng clunked her glass with Mrs. Han and chuckled over some insignificant celebrity gossip, she had long since completed her grieving and mourning for the dead and departed.

Almost everyone had, except, of course, Shi Meng! Though for all the wrong reasons!

He still believed that there was some sort of foul play involved in the whole suspicious affair.

While Shi Meng was fussing over this for the nth time, Mama Meng walked over to him.

"One more month correct?" Mama Meng chuckled and confirmed with her dear son.

"Mmmm" Shi Meng absent-mindedly nodded.

The crowd might have forgotten the Tang family, but they sure had not forgotten the plague of their lives, Su Lin!

"How dare that worthless dog play tricks on my genius son?! She must be the stupidest woman in the world!" Mama Meng proudly boasted about her son's intelligence by repeatedly banging on the crystal table.

She had clearly sent in one too many drinks and was now, very obviously tipsy.

She had donned one of Chanel's latest main-line dress, without considering her age or shape, and of course, that was coupled with shamelessly flaunting several flashy jewelry.

Mama Meng was a picture of extravagance, a stark contrast to the thin and elegant woman, Liang Nan, who was standing next to her.

Her simple cream-colored evening dress matched her elegant manner.

Liang Nan was cooly sipping her wine and patiently listening to the drunk woman's blabberings, thanks to her mother Mrs. Liang standing next to her.

Since her childhood, she never really had a good impression of this woman!

And mama Meng had been painstakingly trying to matchmake little Nan with Shi Meng for years together until they moved away.

Only then she had latched onto Tang Yue.

But now that the Liangs were back, she was at it again!

Liang Nan could only sigh helplessly. She looked at her mother standing next to her for help, but her mother downright played dumb and ignored her pleas.

Her mother's stare clearly indicated that this was a family gathering and she had to attend it. How boring!

Mama Meng again picked up the same topic and boasted.

"Nan Nan, you know Meng singlehandedly built this empire right! He is very talented."

"The poor thing was tied down by a manipulative woman for years. Now, he is finally free. Do you know? She even dared to ask half of our properties!!"

"But my smart boy took care of that sŀut and next month her claim would be revoked!"

"Isn't my kiddo a genius?" Mama Meng continued blabbering on non-stop.

Liang Nan could only silently glare at the woman. She hated this mother-son pair. The robotic son and his loud-mouthed mother!

"Why was she still trying to sell this son of hers to me?" Liang Nan wondered.

Especially since she was not interested in the entire gender itself...

But Shi Meng was standing right there and she had to give some sort of response.

"So stingy. Why don't you give your ex-wife what she deserves?" She jovially teased him, though she completely meant what she was saying.

Shi Meng glared at her for a second, but then just chuckled casually.

He didn't even bother entertaining the group of ladies and politely excused himself.

He walked out to the patio and gazed at the distant moon, swirling the drink in his hands.

"One more month. Just stay missing for one more month." He softly mumbled.

Unlike his clear decadent gaze, his mind and heart were in a turmoil. The answers he needed... She never even bothered giving him.

And now, just like that, she was gone. 

She had disappeared from his world. The men around her were also missing. But Shi Meng didn't care about that.

"Why did you mess with me so much? Just for money?" His magnetic eyes absent-mindedly wandered into nothingness.

He hated the fact that she was missing. Unlike his mother, he wanted something else from her.

Secretly, he even wished that she would come back... even at the expense of half of his wealth...
