Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1415: Chapter 774: What Others Have, You Should Have Too

”We Lian People especially love spicy food, but what are the honey-dipped pastries and hotpot base you mentioned?” Lian Xin asked hesitantly.

”Anyway, they’re delicious,” Zard chuckled merrily, ”Every time I come to the Outer World, I’ll bring you some snacks from there. I can fit quite a lot in my body.”

Lian Xin originally wanted to agree, but changed her mind temporarily, ”I don’t like snacks, but if you want to bring them, just do it. No one can stop you.”

At this moment.

”I’m thirsty, give me some water,” Chen Jiazhang, seeing the rising affection between the two, quickly interrupted, ”Little Bao, let the Gold Corpse loosen me! Anyway, these old bones of mine can’t run away even if I wanted to!”

”Don’t call me Little Bao!” Lian Xin stopped in her tracks, thoughtfully looking at Chen Jiazhang, ”You’re indeed not as impressive as you used to be. Since you ran away and claimed you were chasing your dreams, then why let yourself become like this? You gave up on my mom, so you should have a better life, otherwise all that my mom sacrificed would be in vain.”

At the mention of this, Chen Jiazhang fell silent.

Actually, he could feel that Lian Xin’s tone not only carried the resentment of being abandoned but also a hint of concern for him.

After all, they are father and daughter; how could they completely sever their feelings for each other?

He understood Lian Xin’s resentment but didn’t know how to answer.

Zard, standing by, said, ”He was plotted against by his best friend, cutting off his path as a Knight. Since then, he’s been drinking his days away in a slump.”

Lian Xin paused for a moment, ”Who did it?”

”The last generation demigod of the Chen Clan, Chen Chuanzhi,” Zard said with a smile, ”But he’s dead already, heavily injured by my boss’s master, and he died after lingering for a few years. Just a few days ago, my boss led us to fight the demigod Chen Yu.”

”You have a boss?” Lian Xin asked puzzled, ”Who is your boss?”

Zard thought for a moment, ”The next leader of the Knights, independent director of Li’s Financial Group, future grand tutor, the Destroyer of Base A02, dean of Whale Island War College, Master of Daytime, leader of the Parents’ Meeting, leader of Freemasonry, leader of the Shadow Troop, leader of the Spy Bureau, the Joker feared by Western powers...”

Lian Xin paused, ”How does your boss have so many titles? Did all these people gang up on Chen Yu?”

Chen Jiazhang said grumpily, ”That’s all the same person... His boss is Qing Chen. Now that you’ve ventured out of Xiuzhu State, you should have heard of him.”

Lian Xin: ”...”

Honestly, after hearing all those titles from Zard, she almost felt sorry for Chen Yu.

So many people ganging up on one person.

However, the name Qing Chen, Lian Xin indeed had heard before, from Yang Yang.

The settlement in the wilderness was run by Yang Yang, and Qing Ling and Li Cheng, along with the intelligence personnel and Freemasonry, all obeyed her. The Lian People’s dealings with the settlement could not bypass Yang Yang.

Now, Lian Xin and Yang Yang are considered good friends, and the name Qing Chen was frequently mentioned.

But it wasn’t just Yang Yang who mentioned him; it seemed everyone talked about him whenever they had the chance.

Lian Xin looked at Zard, hesitated for two seconds, and said, ”If you become the leader of the Lian People, you won’t have to be someone else’s subordinate.”

”That’s not possible,” Zard said with a smile, ”His enterprise is massive, I have to go help him.”

Lian Xin’s voice gradually turned cold, ”You can’t leave.”

For the Lian People, life is simple, and emotions are straightforward. When they see a man they like, they bring him home and feed him the Naked Heart Gu; he becomes their lifelong partner.

As long as the Naked Heart Gu is consumed, there will be no more hurdles; what remains is to accompany each other through the years, till death.

But the Naked Heart Gu was just consumed not long ago. Although Lian Xin’s attitude towards Zard had improved, the thought of him leaving like Chen Jiazhang frustrated her.

She even tossed the Osteo-eclipse flower Zard gifted her to the ground.

The Lian People began setting up camp, sprinkling white powder near the bonfire, ground from garlic, to deter snakes, insects, and rats from approaching.

Seven Gold Corpses guarded nearby; with these seven, equivalent to A-Class Genetic Warriors, ordinary people couldn’t compete with the Lian People in Xiuzhu State.

After all the busyness was over, the Lian People took out wooden boxes from their arms, cut their fingertips, and fed their Naked Heart Gu with fresh blood.

The previously motionless Naked Heart Gu came to life at the scent of its owner’s blood.

Lian Xin sat by the bonfire, staring blankly. Just yesterday, she was with her people feeding the Naked Heart Gu with their heart’s blood, and today, well, her Naked Heart Gu was gone...

Thinking of this, she glared at Zard.

Zard, seeing her expression, thought Lian Xin was envious that other clanspeople still had their Naked Heart Gu while she didn’t.

Thinking of this, Zard suddenly thrust his hand into his own heart, pulling out a tiny Seven-star Ladybug, the Naked Heart Gu.

He grinned naively, ”What others have, you should have too.”

Lian Xin was dumbfounded.

What in the world? How could he just retrieve a Naked Heart Gu like that, and it’s still intact!

Everyone was stunned, especially the Lian People, whose faces changed. The act of digging into one’s heart was already beyond comprehension, but even more so, how was the Naked Heart Gu still intact?

Lian Xin’s expression changed, ”What is going on? How is it still there?”

Zard scratched his head and said, ”It’s so cute, I couldn’t bring myself to chew it. I’ve kept my body elementalized recently, and it couldn’t find its way out in my body, so it settled at my heart and started sleeping.”
