After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 656  Big Bosses Gather!  Supporting Qingqing (2)

"Since His Majesty can now walk, the wheelchair has become a burden," Mo Yanwen sighed.

Many ancient technologies were lost, to the point that even the Mo family could no longer replicate.

He had scoured the Mo family's ancient texts, yet even with years of effort, he hadn't managed to recreate the peak-era hidden weapons of the Mo family's past.

Despite the emergence of geniuses within the Mo family over the centuries, none could crack the secrets of the Mo family's Mechanism City.

This loss of ancient techniques, compounded by the massive impact of modern technology, meant that even with three families and four alliances still intact, it was impossible to return to the grandeur of the Great Xia Dynasty, when tributes came from all directions.

Yu Xiheng, seated in the wheelchair, rolled up his sleeves with a calm voice, "One must always have an ace up their sleeve."

Patience and endurance were the lessons he had learned most thoroughly over two lifetimes.

"Only those who have been close to His Majesty realize how scant the historical records are," Mo Yanwen chuckled. "I wish I could see that era for myself."

Each page he had turned was a lifetime of tumultuous stories for many.

Those who had their names inscribed in the history books were indeed remarkable figures.

Many more were lost in the flow of time.

They might be nameless, but they should be remembered forever.

Yu Xiheng paused, not responding, and continued sketching some kind of weapon on paper.

"Is His Majesty preparing a birthday gift for Miss Si?" Mo Yanwen pondered briefly. "I am guilty of not having established a family yet, still ignorant of what ladies like."

Yu Xiheng handed over the completed blueprint with a smile, "This lady, she is different."

Mo Yanwen only glanced at it and was visibly astonished, "A fine weapon indeed!"

No wonder they say that Emperor Yin is a born war god; only the ancient ancestors of the Mo family could rival such craftsmanship.

"Yes, always using fists can indeed injure the hands," Yu Xiheng leaned on his arm, "Her hands are insured; it would not do to damage them."

Enlightened, Mo Yanwen bowed, "The Mo family will craft this weapon swiftly and present it to Miss Si."

He took the blueprint and left.

The room fell silent again.

Yu Xiheng's gaze fell on a new message on his phone.

[Lady]: Boss, I've made some new Sisi brand pills. When will you come by my place to pick them up?

It was followed by a playful emoticon.

Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow but didn't reply, instead, he directly dialed the number.

On the other side, Si Fuqing picked up quickly, her tone cheerful, "Boss."

She easily caught his mood, and Yu Xiheng nodded, "What's got you so happy?"

"I quietly made a big sum of money," Si Fuqing said lazily. "Remember the new reality show I mentioned? My pay went from three million to twenty million. That's a lot of gold bars."

"Well done, lady," Yu Xiheng laughed lightly. "Do you need help adjusting the TV show's schedule?"

"I've already handled it," Si Fuqing replied. "It's a small matter, no need." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Alright," Yu Xiheng said calmly, "I'll be back tonight."

It was his first time celebrating her birthday; he couldn't be careless.

Si Fuqing's eyes narrowed with a fox-like gleam, "No problem, I'll set up a little stool and wait for you."

She truly was a dedicated employee.

As soon as the call ended, another came through.

It was JI Xingzhi.

"Big brother, I'm at the airport," he said excitedly. "Can you come pick me up?"

"You can't walk? If not, use your hands," Si Fuqing teased double-standardly. "Grown up and still needs picking up."

JI Xingzhi: "..."

He felt aggrieved, "Big brother, it's my first time in An City, I don't know my way around."

"Alright, alright, I'll come get you," Si Fuqing sighed. "A Master of Yin-Yang, not ashamed to admit he's lost."

His guardian spirits might as well be just for show.

"Great, great! I'll wait for you, big brother." JI Xingzhi was instantly revitalized.

"I need to deliver lunch to my cousin first," Si Fuqing picked up a lunch box. "Find a convenience store and lay there for a bit."

JI Xingzhi: "..."

He felt like he was being treated like a dog.

**

Si Fuqing picked up the lunch box from the restaurant and delivered it to Northern State No.1 Middle School.

Ye Zhenmian had prepared portions for two.

Nian Yi'an watched Lin Jihuan eat with great enthusiasm, feeling silent.

He felt like he somewhat like an afterthought.

"Desk mate, my dad, my brother, and my grandparents are all here," Lin Jihuan whispered, lowering her voice. "My dad asked if he could rent out your family's restaurant for the day to celebrate Qingqing's birthday."
