chapter 35

In City S, it was the day the college entrance examination ended.

Countless senior high school students returned home, welcomed by their families.

The same was true for the Xia family.

At the dinner table, Xia Xinyan, surrounded by questions, looked at her parents, who seemed eager to ask but held back, and smiled.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm very confident about this exam!"

"It's good to have confidence! But even if things didn't go well, with our family's conditions, it won't be a problem for you to live comfortably for a hundred years!"

As soon as Xia's father said this, Xia's mother grabbed his ear.

"What kind of father are you! You start by suggesting she didn't do well in the exam!"

"Ouch, honey, don't pull my ears. I'm wrong, I'm wrong!"

Watching her harmonious parents, Xia Xinyan smiled.

"Dad, Mom, tomorrow I'll be traveling with Teacher Liu!"

"Traveling?"

The two, who were lightly arguing, turned back to look at Xia Xinyan.

"Where are you going? How many people are going with you? Are there any boys? Is it safe?"

"…We're going to Yun Province. Only Teacher Liu and I are going together, but Teacher Liu's boyfriend is there!"

"As for safety, that's for sure! Teacher Liu's boyfriend is wealthy and has several bodyguards with him!"

"Teacher Liu was anxious to see her boyfriend, and I wanted a trip to relax, so we decided to go together."

"Dad, Mom, is this okay?"

After hearing that their daughter was as obedient as ever, the couple nodded.

"Alright, but remember to stay in contact with the family!"

"Thank you, Mom and Dad!"

At this, Xia Xinyan smiled slyly.

"Hehe, to thank you both, I'll bring back an admission letter from S University in over a month!"

Seeing her confidence, her parents looked curious.

"Yanyan, are you that confident?"

"Of course! If I really get into S University, what reward will you give your good daughter?"

"Whatever you want!" Dad Xia said immediately.

Naturally, Dad Xia felt that his well-behaved daughter wouldn't make any troublesome requests.

"Hmm… a reward… I can't think of one now, but to keep Dad from going back on his word, I need to record this! When I get into S University, Dad has to agree to whatever I ask!"

Xia Xinyan acted playfully.

The couple thought their daughter looked adorable and agreed right away.

However, what Dad Xia didn't know was that, in the future, whenever he disliked his son-in-law and wanted to say something, his "little cotton-padded jacket" would show him this video to keep him quiet.

In those moments, he'd wish he could go back and slap himself to stop himself from making that promise.

And at the Liu family…

When Liu Yunshuang expressed her desire to find Wang Haoran, her parents gave their full support.

"My dear daughter, you've finally come to your senses! It's not too late to get your good son-in-law back!"

For the first time, Liu Yunshuang felt appreciated by her parents.

Seeing how their attitudes changed just because she said, "I want to marry Haoran," Liu Yunshuang cursed the heartless man in her thoughts.

But she kept a smile and agreed with her parents, praising Wang Haoran.

Finally, the next day arrived. At her parents' urging, Liu Yunshuang went to the airport and boarded her flight to Yun Province with Xia Xinyan.

Meanwhile, near Myanmar…

"Thank you for helping me find my way!"

Wang Yuxiao smiled, thanking the group she was traveling with as she went to find her contact.

A man in the group, seeing her youth and beauty, kindly gave her a warning.

"Miss, you have to be cautious; it's dangerous over there!"

"Those videos online that say 'Precious little princess, welcome to the north of Myanmar, where I grew up' are just to fool people."

"Those heart-wrenching romances with domineering warlords are even worse."

"If you really end up there, the only reason you'd be 'cut open' or 'broken-hearted' isn't love—it's for organ harvesting, done without anesthesia!"

"Miss, remember, no matter the reason, don't cross over!"

"I understand. Thank you, brother!"

Wang Yuxiao replied seriously, nodding and thanking him with a bow.

After saying her goodbyes, she arrived alone at a remote, rundown house.

An old man with white hair and yellowed teeth awaited her.

Wang Yuxiao smiled and spoke first.

"I'm here for the 'goods.'"

Without asking what kind of goods, the old man glanced at the nearby jungle and asked:

"What color are the butterflies there?"

"Red!" Wang Yuxiao replied immediately.

"The butterflies are clearly yellow! Why do you see them as red?"

"My eyes are stained with the enemy's blood, so everything I see is red!"[T/L:dies from cringe 🤐]

"Then why are the butterflies flying everywhere?"

"The enemy's wails sound like celestial music, and the blood butterflies dance to the tune!"

Hearing her answer, the old man nodded, went into the back room, and dragged out a suitcase.

"Here's your 'goods.'"

Wang Yuxiao inspected it and, confirming it was correct, took the suitcase and left.

"Oh, such trouble just to bring in a few weapons!"

After staying in town briefly, Wang Yuxiao set off again, hurrying toward Baicui Town.

The closer she got to her destination, the more curious she became.

Since she could be chosen as a successor by the King of Killers, her fiancé must be someone extraordinary.

He must be first-rate in strength and ability, and his appearance and character shouldn't be bad either. After all, her father once said that the King of Killers was quite dashing in his youth.

It happened that the King of Killers sought revenge, so she could take the opportunity to observe her fiancé's strength and character.

Thinking this, Wang Yuxiao quickened her pace.
