I Don’t Wish to See Her Again Tomorrow

Sensing the murderous intent, Pan Liang opened his eyes. After checking the levels of the people around him, he closed his eyes again. However, his spiritual power had already spread.

Shirley acted as if she did not notice anything.

"Pan Liang, you're so heavy. Can't you get up and walk on your own?"

How could walking on his own be as comfortable as having a beauty carrying him? Moreover, he got to earn Grievance Points this way.

From the way the old perverts nearby looked at Pan Liang, it was as though they were about to eat him up.

It was almost noon. It was finally Shirley's turn to carry out the awakening ceremony.

Upon their arrival at the Blessing Temple, Shirley placed Pan Liang on the ground before she went up to the stage to carry out the awakening ceremony herself.

At this point, Pan Liang stopped pretending to be asleep. He sat up and watched Shirley perform the awakening ceremony. He was quite interested in this.

When he was summoned, he was in an unconscious state and knew nothing.

"I wonder what kind of skill Shirley will awaken. I hope she won't awaken a speed-type skill. Otherwise, it'll be hard to fight with her for food in the future."

As Pan Liang was looking for a comfortable position to watch Shirley awaken, he heard her scream.

"What? It actually costs 200 gold coins? Isn't 100 gold coins enough? Why has the price increased?"

"Hi, Princess Shirley. This is the uniform price in the country. However, it's specially set for princes and princesses."

A look of surprise washed over her face. "Why did you increase the price for princes and princesses? Are you discriminating against us?"

"Princess Shirley, please don't make things difficult for us. This is an order from the imperial city. The entire empire has to double the price for all princes and princesses."

Although Shirley could afford this price, she felt distressed. She had just received a few hundred gold coins, yet she had to spend half of them now.

Pan Liang, who was watching Shirley's performance, almost broke into laughter. "This is so fun. I didn't expect Shirley to be a money-grubber. It seems that I have to work hard in this area in the future. Maybe she can contribute more Grievance Points to me."

Distressed, Shirley took out 200 gold coins. "You must awaken a powerful skill for me. If the skill is not good, boo-hoo..."

"Hahaha. This is so fun. Fine, I'll just look at the results later. Let me look at my current data first. Until now, I haven't looked at it. Apparently, I'm too lazy."

"System, check my stats."

[Host: Pan Liang]

[Level: 17]

[Skill: Sword Control Technique]

[Template: Immortal Sword]

[Mana Point: 99,999]

[Magic Attack: 99,999]

[Physical Attack: 99,999]

[Rank: SSS ]

"System, are you slacking off? Why are my points all 99,999?"

However, the system ignored Pan Liang's question, leaving him speechless.

"I didn't expect myself to have infected the system. It's even lazier than me. The stats are all made up. Forget it. I shall sleep first. Maybe when I wake up, my Grievance Points will be enough for the lucky draw."

When Shirley awakened, the city lord's mansion had already received the news.

"City Lord, according to the news from my subordinates, Princess Shirley, who has obtained an SSS-rank familiar, is awakening in the Blessing Temple. Do you want to take any action?"

The city lord waved his hand. "As far as I know, Shirley probably hasn't received any support from the nobles. These nobles are too cowardly.

"They're afraid of being targeted by the other princesses and princes. Also, they're afraid that Shirley will harm them when she grows up. Let me be the bad guy.

"Kronin, I'll leave Shirley to you. I don't want to see her again tomorrow. Bring her familiar back to me."

Kronin bowed to the city lord and said, "I assure you that I'll complete the mission."

A soldier next to him asked, "Doesn't a familiar die after their contract owner is killed? Why do you want to kill Princess Shirley and bring her familiar back?"

"Tsk, you don't understand. The contract between the contract owner and the familiar can be temporarily blocked. You just don't know how to do it.

"After blocking the contract between the contract owner and the familiar, the contract owner's binding power to the familiar is still there. However, if the contract owner dies, the familiar will be fine.

"This blocking technology was invented to snatch other familiars."

The soldier next to him nodded and said, "Oh, so there's such a technology. I've never heard of it before."

"Don't spread it. While many people know about this technology and are able to make use of it, it's prohibited in the country and can only be used in private."

"I know, I know. You don't have to tell me."

Pan Liang was bored during his wait, so he exchanged a bag of popcorn and a bottle of coke. He ate while waiting.

In this world, productivity was relatively low, which explained why many things could not be done.

When Pan Liang took out a bag of steaming, fragrant popcorn, it immediately attracted everyone's attention in the Blessing Temple.

"It smells so good. What is Princess Shirley's familiar eating? This smell..."

"Ah, this smell can penetrate deep into one's soul. It smells so good."

"Look at what he's drinking. There are water droplets on it. It must be ice-cold."

"Previously, I heard that the Blessing Temple deliberately raised the price to make Princess Shirley retreat and choose not to awaken. By the look of things, her wealth is unimaginable."

"That's right. Look at the bottle in the familiar's hand. It's so clear that it looks like a crystal."

"Damn, I wouldn't have noticed the drink if you hadn't mentioned it. It really looks like a crystal."

Everyone in the Blessing Temple looked at Pan Liang with a complicated gaze.

Deep down, Pan Liang was bursting with joy.

"This is wonderful. I have to provoke the public to gain more Grievance Points. If this goes on, I'll be eligible for the lucky draw in less than five minutes.

"This bag of popcorn and a bottle of coke have brought such a huge profit."

As the fragrance spread, someone could not stand it anymore. He then came to Pan Liang to make a deal.

"Hi, Sir. May I know what you're holding?"

Pan Liang looked up at the man. "Are you talking about this?" He then took out a few pieces of popcorn and tossed them into his mouth.

Looking at Pan Liang's mouth, the man gulped in spite of himself.

"Yes. I want to buy the package in your hand. I hope you can name a price."

Considering the man's good attitude, Pan Liang felt that he could sell it to him. However, he had to ask the man to keep this a secret from Shirley.

Anyway, the growth rate of Grievance Points had already begun to slow down. There was no need to rely on this stuff to attract grievances.
