Chapters 2737-2743 Bai Zhe’s Inheritance 4

2737 SL is doubtful since hundreds had failed before her, when she steps up and a small screen appears.

‘There’s a word which everyone will pronounce wrong. What word is it?’ SL is stunned that it’s an easy modern riddle, waiting for the last second on the 1 minute timer before answering ‘Wrong’. The crowd is unable to attribute this to her talent or luck, when she steps on the second block.

‘You can do it, I can do it, everyone one can do it. One person can do it, but two can’t do it together. What is it?’ The 7th elder had stumbled on this question, guessing it was the cultivation acts between him and the Serene Fairy, and was hung up after being too flustered to answer. While the question is difficult with an archaic mindset, SL’s modern thoughts easily answers ‘Dream’. The crowd is stunned that it’s so easy, doubting their own intellect, when SL proceeds to the next stone.

2738 Regardless of who’s being hung, SL chooses to receive the gift, tossing the exquisitely wrapped packages into her space unopened. By the 20th question, LYJ is certain that SL will fail, since she was stumped by it, when the screen displays: “what’syourname?” (in English). SL is shocked that it’s so easy, and answers “mynameissuluo” (also in English), leaving even NL stunned. When the system prompts SL to choose between saving LYJ or a gift, LYJ is certain SL would choose her due to her dignified status, when SL unhesitantly picks the gift. LYJ screeches in rage, but SL had even ignored saving the 7th elder.

2739 Questions 20-29 are in English, while 30-39 consists of high school physics, and 40-49 were from the Maths Olympiads, leaving the rest baffled as SL easily solves them. SL continues selecting the prizes, when she finishes the 99 questions in less than 3 minutes – receiving 98 gifts and rescuing ZW. NL laughs before following SL to the second floor, along with ZW. They arrive at a quiet floor, when they’re suddenly surrounded by thousands of Spirit Guards. The rest of the group manage to break out of their bindings to find SL still on the second floor. LYJ screams that SL will meet her end, only for SL to smirk at her.

2740 SL cloyingly grabs on to NL’s arm, holding his chin in her hand, telling LYJ to ask what he has to say about her dying. LYJ almost vomits blood, seeing NL not only accept her touch, but drawing SL into a hug. LYJ trips as she attempts to storm off, while SL mocks her unrequited love, asking NL to choose between them. LYJ stares at NL with affection and a mix of other emotions, while the crowd watches on curiously. NL rubs SL’s head, telling her off for being mischievous.

2741 The crowd is stunned that such a tyrannical man would be so gentle, as SL thumps his chest, telling him to choose. NL leans down, deeply kissing SL in front of the shocked crowd, creating the image of a perfect couple. The PIF was secretly interested in LXF, as the genius of their generation, but is bitter SL could win the affections of such a perfect man who outclasses LXF. LYJ had always assumed NL would eventually be hers, since no one else could compare to them, and is stunned at their affections, and how even their names match, but refuses to retreat. With 13 dead, LYJ vows to have SL removed as well.

2742 SL and NL separate from their kiss, as SL laughs at NL’s teasing. LYJ collapses in despair, as NL leads SL away, towards the Spirit Guards. The Bai Zhe’s voice transmits through everyone’s minds, explaining there’s a point system for redeeming prizes and their performance is ranked from 1 to 9. They can earn points either through killing guards, or stealing them from each other, while the inheritance also depends on their performance. While the mini Bai Zhe won’t disclose the prizes to SL, the three factions scramble for the points, passing them on to their respective leaders – the 7th elder, LYJ and the mysterious man.

2743 LXF’s squad only passes their points to the elder after he agreed to give them all the prizes, putting everything at stake for the inheritance. While LXF can’t compare with NL, and can only rely on the elder’s strength. Crafty Thorn is completely obedient towards LYJ, while the Demonic Clan’s leaders have been replaced by the mysterious man in black. Meanwhile, the mini Bai Zhe reveals that the Guard Commander is worth 1,000 points, each captain is 100 and each individual soldier is worth 10 points. NL takes on the Commander, with his presence balancing the strength between both sides, while SL can only contend against normal guards. As she corners a soldier, LYJ appears to finish it off as they glare at each other.
