I Am Not The God Of Drama Chapter 1241

We Are All Little Wives

“So it was him…”

After listening to Chu Muyun’s description, the scene of the figure in the Enforcer trench coat standing in the Alliance Council venue, directly opening a can of worms for the Councilors on the spot with a Judgment of Original Sin, instantly surfaced in Chen Ling’s mind…

This indeed sounded like something Han Meng would do.

In his early years, Han Meng dared to question the entire Aurora City as a simple District Three Enforcer… In the Wuji Domain, he also personally witnessed everything. He saw Chen Ling saving people and saw Chen Ling falling out with the Red King. He might have thought he could use the Alliance Council to clear those non-existent crimes for Chen Ling, but the final vote trampled the justice in his heart underfoot, mocking it fiercely.

It was also from that moment on that Han Meng realized the justice of the Councilors was unworthy of representing the justice of the era…

Therefore, Han Meng judged the hypocritical ‘justice’.

Chen Ling’s gaze revealed complexity.

The Human Domains were hostile to him, his Master, the Red King, plotted against him, and he was forced to hide in the deepest parts of the Gray World. But he hadn’t expected that in places he couldn’t see, there was still someone fighting for him… This world wasn’t that terrible after all.

“Mm… At least these Councilors from the South Sea Domain will definitely vote against it. But the other Councilors are hard to say. After all, the purpose of the Alliance’s existence is to defeat the World-Ending Calamities. If they feel the Integration Faction can bring them a great chance of winning, they might not be unwilling to take the risk,” Chu Muyun summarized fairly.

Chen Ling was deep in thought.

“In short, the best solution right now is to bring the Integration Faction in and settle them down without alerting anyone.” Chen Ling’s brows furrowed again. “But in the current South Sea Domain, would there be such a place?”

“Actually, there is.”

“Where?”

“The South Sea Domain has two Divine Path organizations in total. One is the Paper Kite Rescue Association, which is for public welfare, and the other is the Pu Family of the Path of the Scholar God.” Chu Muyun spoke slowly, “Among them, the Pu Family’s power reaches deep into every corner of the South Sea Domain. They have a massive amount of idle, undeveloped assets on hand… such as small islands, farmlands, schools, and they aren’t subject to the supervision of the South Sea police.”

“Are you saying that if I can get one of these marginal assets, I can secretly harbor the people of the Integration Faction for a temporary stay?”

“That’s the idea. This is much more concealed than going through normal procedures to buy land from the South Sea Government.” Chu Muyun paused for a moment and added, “The only drawback is that they will only entrust these assets to their own Pu Family members to manage… Outsiders cannot get them.”

“I understand.”

A sharp light flashed in Chen Ling’s eyes. “I’ll go check out the Pu Family.”

…

Chu Muyun still had matters of the Paper Kite Rescue Association to handle, so after finishing their coffee, the two temporarily parted ways. However, Chu Muyun had already told Chen Ling how to contact him; if he encountered any trouble in the South Sea Domain, he could call for backup.

Chen Ling returned to the entrance of the guest house.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a faint aroma of tobacco entered his nose.

This tobacco smell was different from the cigarettes other people usually smoked. Tasting it carefully, it seemed to be mixed with the smell of some kind of medicine.

The room’s window was already wide open, and the white curtains fluttered in the evening breeze. A young girl with two fluffy ears on her head was leaning against the window frame. Like a melancholic protagonist in a movie, she took a fierce drag from the burning cigarette in her hand and handsomely exhaled a cloud of smoke…

“Little White, do you know?”

“People often only truly grow up after they die once…”

Perhaps the South Sea Domain outside the window was too noisy, Little Peach didn’t hear the sound of Chen Ling opening the door for a moment.

But Little White, who was obediently sitting on the chair to the side, caught sight of Chen Ling returning from the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to say something, Little Peach’s melancholic voice sounded again.

“Actually, every one of us is a little wife.”

Chen Ling: ?

“Every one of us is a little wife, always ruthlessly cornered against the wall by an overbearing CEO named ‘Fate’… We can’t resist. It’s so unreasonable, yet so mysterious, making people inevitably harbor expectations even when they are bruised all over…”

“All we can do is go with the flow… and also, enjoy it.”

“I know this principle might be very profound for you. After all, at your age, it’s the time for innocence. But I’m different… If anyone’s to blame, it’s me for experiencing too much and awakening too early.”

Little Peach once again took a top-tier deep drag into her lungs, finished smoking the cigarette in her hand, and then walked in front of Little White amidst the hazy smoke. With those vicissitude-filled eyes that seemed to have seen through the mortal world, she looked kindly and expectantly at the bewildered Little White…

Fourteen-year-old Little Peach patted the shoulder of Little White, who was half a head taller than her.

“But it’s okay, Little White. I believe that one day, you will grow up… and become as mature as I am.”

Little White didn’t understand and scratched his head in bewilderment:

“Oh… I will.”

Chen Ling: ………

“Cough, cough.” Chen Ling coughed lightly twice.

Little Peach turned her head to look in this direction, and the next moment, as if struck by lightning, her entire body abruptly stiffened in place.

But this time, Little Peach didn’t scream and run into the toilet like last time… because the toilet was right by the entrance, by Chen Ling’s hand. She looked at Chen Ling, like a terrified marmot, wanting to find a place to burrow into, but simply couldn’t find one, and could only frantically break out in cold sweat on the spot.

“Great King!! Little Peach is recovered!” Little White immediately stood up and said excitedly, “And she even understands many principles now. Although I don’t understand them, it’s so amazing!”

The corners of Little Peach’s mouth twitched frantically. She wished she could cover Little White’s mouth and suffocate him alive.

“It’s good that you’ve recovered.” Chen Ling didn’t let the awkward atmosphere continue. Instead, he directly looked at Little Peach as if he hadn’t seen anything just now. “How is it? Is there anywhere that’s still uncomfortable?”

“N-no… Just that my head hurts a bit, probably from the dream I just had…”

“Dream? What dream did you have?”

Little Peach opened her mouth, and after a long while, she still answered softly, “I… I dreamed of my brother…”

Chen Ling fell silent.

“If your brother knew that you saved many people, he would definitely be very happy.”

“Really?” A faint light lit up in Little Peach’s eyes.

“Really.”

The gloom on Little Peach’s face was completely swept away. She suddenly seemed to think of something, glanced at the brightly lit city outside, and asked Chen Ling excitedly, “Big Brother Chen Ling, do you think it’s possible that Brother Renjie is in the South Sea Domain?”

Chen Ling paused.

In Little Peach’s understanding, Xi Renjie hadn’t died, but had escaped the Aurora Domain with the help of this “savior” and went to live in another Domain… That meant she firmly believed that they, brother and sister, would reunite.

“Perhaps…” Chen Ling fell silent for a long time, his gaze looking towards the bustling South Sea Domain,

“But there are still so many Human Domains… He might be somewhere else, who knows?”
