When a Cultivator Boss Gets Thrown Into a Fake and Real Daughter Script - Chapter 10

Zhou Zhenye had originally intended to take Zhou Luo with him immediately, but he couldn’t stand up to the girl’s stubbornness. With parents like hers, what could she possibly still be holding onto?

He knew perfectly well what his own son was capable of. His guess was that since he now valued Luo Luo so much, the couple was trying to use their daughter to extort something from him.

Zhou Zhenye let out a heavy sigh. Fine. Even if it’s an act, as long as these two can keep it up.

“Luo Luo, remember this: you are a child of the Zhou family. With your grandfather here, no one will ever dare to bully you again. If you’re unhappy here, just call your grandfather, and I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

To be honest, hearing Zhou Zhenye say all this, it was impossible for Zhou Luo not to be moved. She felt incredibly guilty, as if she were completely usurping someone else’s place.

Zhou Qian also looked uneasy, gazing anxiously at Zhou Luo. She wanted to try and persuade her again, but Zhou Luo subtly shook her head.

What does that mean? Is there something I don’t know about?

As soon as they stepped outside, a message from Zhou Qian came through. Zhou Luo felt a sudden warmth in her heart when she saw it. Zhou Qian told her that if she needed anything at all, she should just text her, and she would immediately bring people over.

See? Aside from her own parents, there were still many people who cared about her.

After seeing off Zhou Zhenye and Zhou Qian, Zhou Luo turned and walked back into the house. As soon as Zhou Jun saw the Old Master had gone, he dropped the act. He quickly rushed forward, intending to give Zhou Luo a proper lecture.

He had been holding in his anger this whole time!

“You’ve got guts, Zhou Luo! You think you can rely on Grandpa, right? You’re running wild in this house! I’m telling you, if anything happens to Manman, you won’t have an easy time of it either!”

Zhou Luo’s face hardened. She thought, this Zhou Jun truly is incapable of saying anything decent.

“Does that hurt? Do you know what ‘reap what you sow’ means?” Zhou Luo taunted. Her look enraged Zhou Jun so much that he wanted to strangle her on the spot!

The moment he raised his hand, Zhou Luo shifted her body, perfectly dodging Zhou Jun’s slap. Then, she launched a kick right into his stomach.

Bang! Zhou Jun landed on the floor like a giant prawn, groaning twice in muffled pain, unable to let out a proper sound…

Shen Jinling was terrified. She rushed over to shield Zhou Jun, squawking like an old hen.

“My son! I forgot to tell you, this wild girl is very difficult to mess with now! Where are you hurt? Is it serious, huh???”

“This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!” Zhou Congwen roared in impotent fury.

The person he least wanted to see right now was Zhou Luo. He needed to find a way to get rid of this menace once and for all.

After Zhou Congwen’s angry outburst, the room fell into a surprising silence. Zhou Luo, almost as if she knew exactly what Zhou Congwen was planning, smiled and said: “I know what you’re scheming. That’s precisely why I have to stay. Mr. Zhou, as long as you dare to harbor any ill will toward me, I will dare to let everyone know that you sold your own daughter for profit!”

That invisible slap landed squarely and fiercely on Zhou Congwen’s face.

She knew. She truly knew everything!

For some unknown reason, as Zhou Congwen looked at his daughter, a chill ran down to his feet.

Zhou Luo was smiling. It was as if she was in control of everything. She had put Manman away. Who would be next?

Who? Who the hell would it be?

This series of questions took root in Zhou Congwen’s mind. Just as he was about to open his mouth to confront Zhou Luo, he saw her already heading upstairs.

【Host, you need to be careful.】

The System offered a timely warning.

Zhou Luo paused her steps. Of course, she knew she had to be careful, but what was coming would inevitably arrive. What she could change was the result, not the process. The events that occurred during the process were unchangeable.

If she wanted to get that ultimate reward, she had to proceed step by step.

“Seriously, can’t I just eliminate those few people directly?” Zhou Luo thought of the upcoming plot direction and couldn’t help but feel a little creeped out.

【In the normal order, it is not impossible, as there is no Out-Of-Context (OOC) restriction. Does the Host confirm skipping this unit’s plot?】

She can actually skip it? Zhou Luo’s heart leaped with joy, but in the next second, her smile froze on her face.

【Skipping a unit’s plot will significantly reduce experience points. Additionally, it requires 50,000 beginner points!】

She felt like she was going to explode in impotent fury. 50,000!

Why don’t they just rob me?!

The System clearly had the ability to steal, yet it still went through the trouble of telling her all this. System, you’re quite the bastard.

After venting her frustration, Zhou Luo returned to her room. Downstairs, Zhou Jun glared fiercely at Zhou Luo’s door.

“Mom, Dad, this isn’t over!”

Now that Zhou Luo was upstairs, Shen Jinling’s voice became strong again: “That girl, learning a few martial arts tricks somewhere and now thinking she’s better than everyone else. She needs to be taught a lesson.”

“A lesson? I’ll make her regret everything she’s done!”

As Zhou Congwen spoke, he took out his phone. He smoothly dialed a number. Once connected, he lowered his voice and said something unintelligible, but judging by his look, he was definitely plotting something sinister.

Zhou Jun could only think of Zhou Man. He tugged at Zhou Congwen: “Dad, and what about Manman…”

“She’s a screw-up who nearly ruined a major family affair. Since she dared to do something like that, she won’t get out for at least three to five years. Let her suffer a bit in there first.”

Zhou Jun’s face darkened at these words. It looked like he would have to figure out a solution himself.

Zhou Luo had been utterly exhausted the past two days. She immediately collapsed onto the bed after going upstairs. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone lit up. Zhou Luo picked it up and saw it was a message from ‘Down Head Man’…

“Xiao Yaozi, where have you been the last couple of days?”

Zhou Luo: “Something came up at home…”

Lin Heqi, on the other end, felt a knot in her stomach. Perhaps because ‘Xiao Yaozi’ had shared quite a few things with her while they were gaming, after a moment’s thought, she replied: “Your family bullying you again?”

“No.”

This time, they genuinely hadn’t. Looking at Lin Heqi’s message, Zhou Luo unconsciously smiled. It seemed the original host often complained to this unseen gaming partner.

“That’s good. Xiao Yaozi, I’m thinking…”

Zhou Luo: “???”

“I’m thinking of playing a round!”

Phew. Zhou Luo breathed a sigh of relief. She thought the guy had fallen in love with her over time and was about to confess he was thinking of her.

Deep breath.

Zhou Luo: “Log on!!!”

As before, Lin Heqi didn’t use voice chat. However, judging by these past two sessions, the amount her partner communicated had visibly increased.

When selecting a hero, she even specially chose the hero Zhou Luo liked, ‘Electric Horse Man.’

That was quite a pleasant surprise.

Zhou Luo: “Not using Dongfang Jing today?”

It wasn’t surprising Zhou Luo asked, as Lin Heqi’s skill with ‘Eastern Mirror’ was too fierce, winning every round in ten minutes and carrying the team every time.

“Didn’t you say before you liked Horse Bro? I practiced him in my free time.”

Zhou Luo was momentarily stunned. She remembered saying that casually during their last game, but she also recalled that ‘Shrimp Head Man’ had criticized her for it, saying Horse Bro was just a money-sink…

Seeing Zhou Luo about to choose Sun Bin, Lin Heqi immediately added: “Pick Yao.”

Zhou Luo was speechless. Was this guy planning to take the side lane with a support? She would get flamed for having a weak core.

She was about to remind him, but Lin Heqi said from the other end: “Yao is my buff.”

Fine. Since the Big Carry was making the request, she wasn’t against picking the hero. Plus, she knew the Carry’s skill level. They definitely wouldn’t feed the enemy…

The game went smoothly, and the two resumed their silent gameplay. After the match, Lin Heqi sent another message.

“I want to ask you something…”

Lin Heqi stared blankly at her phone screen for a moment. Forget it. If she found the matter troublesome, what useful advice could she possibly get from the little rascal?

So, when Zhou Luo clicked into WeChat, she found that the other party had already recalled the message.

Huh???

Zhou Luo tilted her head. Finally, she decided to ask the System: “System, do you have any information on ‘Down Head Man’?”

【This is part of Hidden Task One. There is little description of this character in the original text. After the original host’s storyline concluded, this character did not appear again…】

Awesome!
