âThe consent form was for both body donation and severing ties,â the deputy unfolded the consent form again, seemingly with a sigh. âHow could you, Mr. Ji, not have carefully read such an important clause?â
Ji Longtai felt a wave of dizziness and could barely stand. âYou⦠you tricked us!â
These words caused JIANG Shuihanâs expression to turn cold, and his smile vanished. âAs far as I know, Miss Qingyao was abandoned by both of you to the Thousand Army Alliance since childhood. You have not shown her any parental love. It seems that having one daughter is enough for you two. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave.â
Without giving Ji Longtai a chance to respond, JIANG Shuihan left with his team members.
The door slammed shut with a âbang.â
Although it was already late spring, the living room of the Ji family felt as cold as an ice cellar.
âLongtai, about the Thousand Army Allianceâ¦â Mrs. Jiâs lips trembled, never expecting things to turn out this way.
Ji Longtai didnât respond. He was trying to call Ji Qingyao, but after several attempts, he couldnât get through.
With a loud âsmack,â he threw his phone away, his expression extremely grim.
Ji Qingyaoâs severed ties with the Ji family were of no concern to Ji Longtai. What he cared about was the relationship between the Ji family and the Thousand Army Alliance.
Originally, sending Ji Qingyao to the Thousand Army Alliance was meant to secure a strong backing, but now they had lost that support and even made an enemy.
What to do?
Ji Longtai was filled with regret, his remorse forming a river within him.
But he knew it was too late to turn back.
Why didnât he read that consent form carefully before signing it?
Ji Qingwei, observing Ji Longtaiâs changing expressions, tightened her grip. âDad, Mom, donât be sad. I will work hard.â
Mrs. Ji forced a smile, but the emotion of regret was growing wildly in her heart. She didnât utter any words of praise for Ji Qingwei, completely ignoring her.

Meanwhile, in the Eternity Continent.
Si Fuqing had caught a bucket full of fish and cleaned the scales and guts before handing them over to the Master of Ghost Valley.
The Master of Ghost Valley skillfully skewered the fish onto branches and began roasting them over the fire.
Soon, Si Fuqing smelled the enticing aroma and clapped her hands. âHey, Master, itâs been a while, but your fish roasting skills have improved.â
âIndeed, itâs been quite a while,â the Master of Ghost Valley replied, placing the most tender parts of the fish onto a plate for her. âItâs been two or three hundred years. Given your cooking skills, expecting you to learn how to cook is like expecting pigs to climb trees.â
Si Fuqing pondered for a moment. âMaster, have you ever thought that even if pigs learn to fly, I might still not be able to cook?â
The Master of Ghost Valley was speechless.
He sighed, lamenting that while the heavens had closed the door to his beloved studentâs culinary skills, he, with his serious cravings for good food, was left in sorrow.
The Master of Ghost Valley, now in a bad mood, handed over another piece of roasted fish. âSo, did you possess and reincarnate?â
âI donât think so,â Si Fuqing paused. âI always feel like this body is mine, but I canât quite explain the situation.â
It was true that her master easily accepted her dying and coming back to life, given the fantasy setting of âEternity.â
The Master of Ghost Valley scrutinized her for a moment, frowning. âEven I canât tell. Maybe when that old guy comes out of seclusion, Iâll take you to see him and figure out whatâs going on.â
Si Fuqing sincerely suggested, âMaster, you should stop smiling so kindly while beating people up. Itâs not good.â
The Master of Ghost Valley glanced at her. âIf I recall, you like doing that too.â
Si Fuqing was silent.
She finally understood that her quirky temper was influenced by her master.
She originally had a very good temper and was a sweet little angel, but following her masterâs example, she had gone down an irreversible path.
Si Fuqing had set her game mode to Abyss Mode.
In Abyss Mode, the game time and real-time ratio was 100:1.
After spending ten days with the Master of Ghost Valley, she emerged from the game pod, and only six hours had passed in reality.
In Yaonian, seeing her safe and sound, breathed a sigh of relief. âSo soon? How was it, Qingqing?â
âAll good now,â Si Fuqing wiggled her hand. âCompletely recovered. Donât worry, uncle. Winning the competition will be easy.â
âThatâs great to hear,â In Yaonian smiled with relief. âMiss Yue said your manager called. She probably has something important to discuss.â
Si Fuqing nodded. âAlright, Iâll call her back.â
She went to the living room and took the phone from Yuejian. âHello, Sister Sang.â
âHowâs your hand?â Sang Yanqing asked anxiously. âThe doctor said you shouldnât touch games for a while. We should take a break to avoid worsening the injury.â
âMy hand is fine now,â Si Fuqing replied. âItâs just a game, not piloting a bomber.â
Sang Yanqing was silent for a moment. â⦠After a few days, are you already piloting a bomber?â
Si Fuqing said calmly, âIâm waiting for Brother Nine to buy me one.â
âAlright then, just retweet the OPL season-opening promotion on Weibo,â Sang Yanqing trusted her. âIâll pick you up for the flight tomorrow morning.â
Si Fuqing retweeted the promotional Weibo post and added a cheering emoji.
[Is my dear Qingqingâs hand okay? Iâm so worried.]
[Itâs alright if you lose, wife, youâre the best anyway!]
[Iâve already got my ticket for the live event. Betting on a championship, no objections, right?]
[Championship, really? The Western Deities team is the absolute world number one, no dark horse can compare.]
[Why is Si Fuqing being so reckless? With a fractured hand, how can she play games? If the Five States team loses, it will be a disgrace to Great Xia internationally.]
