Chapter 276 [This is what revenge looks like!] (8200)

Chapter 270 [This is what revenge looks like!] (8200)

Chen Yan coldly shouted:

"The blessings of a virtuous person last only five generations!"

The achievements and careers of one's ancestors have an impact on future generations at most for five generations. After five generations, there is no further influence.

The person from the Sun family who died at your hands was already the eighth generation!
What benefits did he receive from his ancestors? He was born in China, from a working-class background! You could say that he is completely innocent in the face of any so-called hatred from eight generations ago.

And you, in your so-called revenge, killed him!

Is this revenge? Bullshit!
You're just doing this for your own obsession, for your own inner demons!

As Chen Yan spoke, the voice in the air roared angrily, "You, you're talking nonsense..."

"Fine! You're not convinced, are you!"

Chen Yan sneered and continued to shout, "Let's not talk about the Sun family!"

When you killed this generation of the Sun family, you set fire to their factory to murder them, killing and injuring several workers!
ridiculous!

With your cultivation level, you have plenty of ways to secretly kill the Sun family!

You can just use curses to kill the Sun family!

But why did you burn down his factory? To kill the workers?
I understand, I fucking understand! Because your family was destroyed and your entire clan was wiped out, you not only want the Sun family to die, but you also want their family fortune to be destroyed, so that the huge family business you worked so hard to build can be ruined in an instant, just to vent your hatred.

So, your actions burned down the factory and killed several workers!

I ask you, what did the workers in that factory do wrong?!
Those workers, surely they have no grudge against your Li family!
Those workers, too, have elderly parents to support and children to raise! They are all in their prime, the pillars of their families! They are also someone's sons, husbands, wives, and parents!

And you're willing to kill innocent people for the sake of so-called revenge?!

"You, surnamed Li, what kind of revenge are you talking about? You're nothing but a bastard who uses revenge as an excuse to indulge his obsessions and inner demons!"

The voice in the air was breathing heavily, almost urgently, as if it had been stirred by Chen Yan's question and didn't know how to answer.

But gradually, his breathing calmed down, and the voice chuckled coldly.

"...So what!"

"Hmm?" Chen Yan frowned.

"So what?!"

The voice in the air carried a hint of madness as it roared, "Do you know how much I've paid for revenge, how much I've endured?!"

His voice was as loud as a ghost's wail.

"To collect the Yin Bones, I dug up countless graves and skeletons. To refine the Yin Bones, I dealt with ancient corpses day and night! Day after day, year after year, corpse energy entered my body, making me neither human nor ghost!"
The corpse's aura caused my skin and flesh to fester all over. I don't know how many nights I lay in the tomb, howling in pain and rolling around on the ground!

After I entered the sect, I used corpse energy to refine my physical body, transforming myself into a monster that resembled a zombie!
Five generations before being cut off?

Ha! Haha! Hahaha!!!

What about five generations? What about eight generations?!
So what if innocent people are killed?!

I paid such a high price and did so much!
If I don't do something, then all my efforts, sacrifices, and hard work over the past hundred years will have been in vain.

If I don't do something, wouldn't my whole life be a joke?!

Chen Yan sighed.

"So, stop talking about avenging your family."

The hatred your family harbored has long since faded with time.

You attacked innocent people purely for your own sake, to prevent your years of hard work from being in vain, for your own obsession, and for the absurd reasons that you used to justify yourself.

You're just doing this to satisfy yourself.

So, in the end, it wasn't really about revenge.

But it was all because of that one sentence he said:

If I don't do something, wouldn't my whole life be a joke?

·
After a moment of silence, the voice in the air seemed to carry a hint of indifference, and a low voice said, "It doesn't matter anymore..."

"What do you mean?"

I said, it doesn't matter.

I have given my all for this revenge—whether it's for revenge or for my obsession, I'm no longer human, no longer a ghost.

Having cultivated myself to this state, I am no longer a normal person. Having refined my entire body to the point of being like a zombie, I will no longer have offspring…

My Li family line has come to an end with me.

The Li family is amazing!
Whether it's sin or blessing, since there are no descendants, it doesn't matter.

Chen Yan heard the hidden sadness in the voice and nodded: "So, you still miss the old days of your Li family."

You're the one who created that fake Li Mansion.

They gathered a group of snakes and rats, killed them, and captured their souls. Using talismans, they transformed these souls into human form and acted as servants and attendants in the fake Li mansion.

—It's just playing house with you, fulfilling that longing in your heart, letting you look at this fake Li family, with its prosperous members, so that you can reminisce about the grandeur of the Li family when you were young.

"And that butler, that steward..."

"That was a scholar I met when I hid away to practice martial arts years ago. He was extremely poor, failed the imperial examinations, and was also seriously ill, so he had no money to pay respects at his ancestral graves."

I dug up his family's ancestral graves and took the bones of his ancestors to refine yin bones. It just so happened that I ran into him coming to pay respects at the graves.

I was hiding in the shadows, watching this poor man weeping at the grave, and a few thoughts began to form in my mind.

My magic can only kill, not save. I can see he's terminally ill and doesn't have many days left to live.

Since I couldn't save his life, I could only make a deal with him.

I gave him money so he could go home and settle his young son in the care of a relative, and I also arranged for the best academy for the child to attend.

Finally, he returned to the mountains. I killed him, captured a wisp of his soul, and made him my steward!
My Li family was once a distinguished family that valued both farming and scholarship; how could we be a bunch of snakes and rats?
"With a scholar like him as the head of the household, the Li family is truly worthy of its status."

Chen Yan snorted and said with a faint smile, "It's just playing house."

The voice in the air suddenly dropped its pitiful and helpless tone and said coldly, "Since you've come for the Sun family, all this talk you've given me is just nonsense and a waste of your breath!"

We are both cultivators, and in the end, the truth of this world comes down to how we prove ourselves!

Why say so much! Since we're going to collect the debt, in the end we'll just have to fight anyway!
"Then let's not say any more, let's have a go! Let me see if your skills are up to par with your sharp teeth!"

Chen Yan laughed heartily.

He didn't say all this just to spout off for a moment or waste his breath.

But...

After talking so much with this descendant of the Li family, he gradually began to make some guesses about the other party's cultivation method.

This person lacked talent in cultivation, so he relied on external forces and used insidious methods to dig up human corpses, collect the Yin bones, and then refine himself.

The reason is that one cannot cultivate effectively because of insufficient talent and the scarcity of vital energy in this world. Therefore, this method is necessary.

Whether it's Yin bone or corpse energy, it's essentially a method used to replace vital energy.

Nourishing the physical body with vital energy is a perfectly legitimate method; if there is no vital energy, then use corpse energy.

They are taking the path of infusing evil energy into the body.

The malevolent energy can not only temper the physical body, making it as tough as a zombie, but it can also temper the primordial spirit—similar to Chen Yan's "sharpening a knife," but more domineering, more rudimentary, and more harmful to oneself.

Even if you succeed in the training, and your primordial spirit seems to have advanced, it is actually riddled with holes inside.

Because of the evil energy entering its body, the monster's consciousness and primordial spirit are actually filled with all sorts of negative obsessions.

Hatred, anger, grief, resentment... and so on.

Having just spoken with him so much, Chen Yan may rebuke him to his face or directly expose his thoughts.

It's not about wasting words, but about directly addressing the other person's true intentions!
Break through the other person's self-deception and dismantle their inner support for their own obsession.

The primordial spirit cultivated by the entry of malevolent energy into the body is considered a weakness of the opponent.

Once the obsession in someone's heart is exposed and shaken, then the other person's consciousness and primordial spirit will be shaken.

It might be weakened.

Although Chen Yan was not afraid of a fight, why not weaken the opponent with words before making a move?
Even if it's just a possibility, there's no cost involved; it's just a waste of breath.

"Not bad, not bad. In the end, he finally showed some of the rogue spirit. It's just a matter of fighting."

Chen Yan laughed heartily, drew his sword from behind, brandished it, and shouted, "Then come on! After this fight, I'll send you to your grave! When you see your Li family, remember to tell them you're a piece of trash!"
Cowardly good-for-nothing!
In order to cultivate himself, he hid for more than 150 years, letting his real enemies grow old and die, until they were all gone!
Finally, he jumped out of the gutter, killed a few weak and innocent people, and then hypocritically said, "I have avenged my family!"

Ha! Go down and talk to them, see if they accept your explanation!

"........."

After a moment of silence, the voice suddenly roared in fury: "I'll kill you!!!"

hum! !

The air vibrated in all directions, and suddenly, countless black wisps of smoke emerged from all directions!
Several streaks of black energy rushed towards Chen Yan. Chen Yan sneered and quickly cast a Golden Light Technique on himself!

The golden light barrier of the Golden Light Technique blocked his body, and several streams of black energy rushed up, impacting the light barrier and making a sizzling sound!

This old ghost of the Li family is much stronger than that so-called family steward; he has already reached the third realm of cultivation!

Under the impact of several streams of black energy, the golden light technique on Chen Yan's body visibly thinned out.

Chen Yan cursed, "Go to hell!"

With a swift movement of his sword, he cut down several wisps of black energy.

However, after the black energy was cut off and separated, it traveled rapidly through the air, and then finally gathered together again, rushing towards Chen Yan with a mournful howl.

Chen Yan stared wide-eyed, then suddenly realized what was happening. He took out several more [Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans] and slapped them onto the sword's edge!

As he poured his vital energy into the sword, the six yang righteous energy talismans on the sword's edge ignited, transforming into a golden light that enveloped the sword's edge.

Chen Yan was like someone holding a fire poker that was glowing with golden light.

He grabbed it in his hand, his confidence soaring. With a loud shout, he strode forward and charged towards the black mist!

With this single sword strike, the blade sliced ​​through the black mist in front of him. A shrill, painful roar immediately erupted from within the black mist. As the golden light penetrated, the black mist, as if encountering its natural enemy, screamed and dissipated, vanishing into the golden light.

Chen Yan raised his sword and slashed left and right. After a few moves, a piece of the black aura was clearly gone.

However, the golden light emanating from the Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman on the sword in his hand also dimmed.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and took out several more Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans, which he then slapped onto the sword's edge.

The old ghost from the Li family roared in the air, "Let's see just how many talismans you have!!"

"What a coincidence! I have more talismans than I can use!" Chen Yan laughed loudly.

Then he twisted and went up again, leaping and roaming around in this energy, chasing after the black energy in various places, and just like that, he chased and slashed.

A moment later, the black aura in the courtyard grew thicker and thicker, as if three-tenths of it had been cut off by Chen Yan, but five-tenths of it quickly surged out again.

Chen Yan had already used more than twenty Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans, but the black energy in the courtyard seemed to be increasing with each cut.

Black energy invaded him from all directions, and the Golden Light Technique on Chen Yan's body was already teetering on the brink of collapse. The golden light barrier was already as thin as paper. Without hesitation, Chen Yan casually cast another Golden Light Technique on himself.

He pondered a solution.

The Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman is indeed the right remedy and can be used to restrain the opponent, but it is a low-level talisman technique with limited destructive power.

And the other party...

"In the past hundred years, I've dug up countless corpses and searched through countless tombs! My corpse energy has been accumulated over 150 years. Even if you work yourself to death, you won't be able to deplete my corpse energy!"

Old Ghost Li laughed wildly a few times, and even more black energy surged out from all around the courtyard.

Several wisps of black energy surged from all directions and finally reached above Chen Yan, where they suddenly gathered together in mid-air. As the black energy writhed, it formed the outline of a palm.

The large black hand, with its five fingers spread, pressed down on Chen Yan's head!
In an instant, black mist surged forth, as if blotting out the sun, and the golden sword in Chen Yan's hand, like a lighter in the wind, flickered precariously.

Chen Yan stood still, looked at it intently, and then laughed.

"Okay, warm-up over."

With a whoosh, he sheathed the sword into his storage jade pendant, and at the same time, another object appeared in his hand: a feather duster emitting red, yellow, and green light!
The Three-Colored Divine Light of the Great Skylark Demon!
Chen Yan pushed off the ground with both feet and leaped into the air, heading straight for the large black hand above his head!

The three-colored divine light was raised towards the sky...

One viewing!

hum!
Yellow, one of the three colors, suddenly became the most prominent!

The yellow light spread like a flood, and even burst forth with a golden hue in an instant!

The golden light crashed down on the black hand. In an instant, the black energy of the giant hand collapsed and shattered like a broken dam under the impact of the golden light!
After countless black wisps scattered, they were swallowed by the golden light. In mid-air, it was like a burning cloud, with black wisps that had been burned to ashes everywhere, leaving only embers!

The old ghost of the Li family wailed in agony. Chen Yan had already leaped out of a cloud of black mist and landed on the roof of a house.

After the black energy dissipated, it scattered and fled in all directions, swirling in mid-air before landing on the ground.

This time, the black energy was much thinner, and it seemed that the golden light covering the sky suppressed the continued outflow of the black energy.

A figure gradually appeared on the ground in the courtyard, tall but thin.

He wore a tattered black robe, had no hair or beard, and his exposed skin, hands, and face had a bluish-black tinge, making him look like a demon.

After he appeared, Chen Yan noticed that the guy's right hand had disappeared. There was a faint trace of black energy emanating from his wrist, as if it were wriggling and trying to reconstruct the outline of his hand, but it couldn't take shape for a while.

"Who...who exactly are you?!"

There is no one in this world with your level of cultivation!

No, that's not right!! There's no way that kind of magical artifact exists in this mortal realm!

Chen Yan rolled his eyes.

A ritual implement? Bah! You ignorant fool.

Is what I'm holding in my hand a ritual implement?
It was made from the natal divine feather of the half-step Venerable Sky Sparrow Demon!
Is that a ritual implement?
That's a magic weapon!!
However, despite thinking this, Chen Yan jumped down from the roof but did not immediately rush back up.

Although the swipe just now looked incredibly powerful, Chen Yan felt that 30% of his vital energy had been depleted in an instant!

The little girl was right; I can only use this thing a maximum of three times each time.

After three strikes, I will be exhausted and unable to fight any longer.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan grabbed the Three-Colored Divine Duster and held it behind his back, while his other hand quickly moved through the air.

With a whoosh, he summoned dozens of Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans from his storage jade pendant!
There are roughly eighty or so images!

This was all of Chen Yan's remaining reserves—although he practiced drawing talismans diligently every day, his reserves could never be inexhaustible.

These eighty-odd Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans floated in the air, arranged in mid-air behind Chen Yan, standing upright one by one.

As Chen Yan made a hand seal, he gently tapped the ground.

After a burst of vital energy was released, more than eighty Six Yang Righteous Qi Talismans suddenly burst into flames at the same time, turning into golden fireballs that roared and shot densely toward the old ghost of the Li family!

Although this thing is a low-level talisman technique, it is, after all, the natural enemy of the corpse energy cultivated by the old ghost of the Li family.

Moreover... Chen Yan was certain of one thing.

Gu Xiaoniang once said that all cultivators in this world are weaklings!
So what if you're at the Third Realm! In this world, even cultivators at the Third Realm are just weaklings!

The cultivation method is incomplete, and the spells are flawed!
Yes, Chen Yan always believed everything Gu Qingyi said without question!
Listen to your mother!
·
More than eighty golden streams of fire shot towards the old ghost of the Li family.

The old ghost of the Li family, who looked like a zombie, suddenly changed color and retreated rapidly. His intact left arm swung its sleeve, and a burst of black energy shot out, turning into a ball of black light on his body.

Unbeknownst to him, the golden flames struck his protective black light, instantly erupting into bursts of flames!
Golden flames and black mist intertwined, exploding repeatedly, and each time the old ghost's black mist was dissipated!
Although the Six Yang Righteous Qi Talisman is not very powerful, it has more than eighty of them, so it wins by sheer numbers!

Amidst countless explosions, the dissipating and collapsing black energy spread out, and the protective black light of the Li family old ghost had been pierced through. The last half of the golden flames directly smashed into his body.

As the old ghost of the Li family retreated step by step, roaring in pain, half of his body could no longer support him. When the golden flames touched his back, they immediately burst into flames.

In the end, half of Li Jia Lao Gui's body was riddled with holes. The black robe he had been wearing had disappeared, revealing a body with jagged bones and dried flesh, which crumbled inch by inch under the burning of the golden flames!
Just like a piece of glass that has been struck, although it has not actually shattered, it is covered with spider web-like cracks!

Just then, amidst the swirling black smoke from the explosion, Chen Yan rushed over!

He stepped on the Law of Escape, his figure like a gust of wind, sweeping past the surrounding black mist, breaking through the wind and arriving in front of the old ghost of the Li family in an instant!
He gripped the three-colored divine light duster tightly in his hand and came to the old ghost of the Li family!
Chen Yan raised it up and swiped it down!

hum! !

The three-colored divine light swept over the old ghost of the Li family, and the yellow light shone brightly once again!
The golden light penetrated directly into the body of the old ghost of the Li family. Countless cracks spread rapidly across his entire body, and Chen Yan could even hear the dense cracking sound!

With a scream, the old ghost of the Li family flew out, his zombie-like body falling more than ten meters away before landing on the ground with a thud.

He screamed and howled, shouting, "Impossible! Impossible! I'm already a zombie! The corpse energy I've used has accumulated over several thousand years; my body should be indestructible!!"

As he spoke, he struggled to get up from the ground.

However, with the slightest movement, one of his arms snapped and shattered, falling to the ground and turning into several pieces of dry bone, which then dissipated into ash!
His legs also snapped and broke, the broken pieces turning to dust on the ground.

The cracks continued to spread, slowly moving towards his abdomen and torso...

Old Ghost Li cursed, "I... I'm not reconciled! I'm not reconciled!! I'm already a third-realm cultivator! There shouldn't be anything in this world that can kill me!!"

This time, Chen Yan did not step forward again.

His three-colored divine light duster had only one brush left, and he dared not use it again easily.

After two viewings, Chen Yan felt that more than 70% of his energy had been depleted.

Cold sweat had broken out on his back and forehead, and waves of weakness made him dare not act rashly again.

Chen Yan's consistent strategy has always been to never risk his life unless absolutely necessary. Whenever possible, he tries to leave himself some leeway.

This final brushstroke is not to be used lightly.

If you use it, you will be completely exhausted on the spot, losing your fighting ability.

Wouldn't that leave us at the mercy of others?
What if the old ghost has another trick up his sleeve?
Of course, Chen Yan also had his own backup plans, such as a mother's love as deep as a mountain... or escaping into other worlds, whether it's a realm or a mirror world.

However, Chen Yan would not do this without exhausting his vital energy.

and……

"Judging from your appearance, I probably won't need to resort to any more drastic measures." Chen Yan stood still, quietly looking at the old ghost of the Li family, and then sighed: "You've lost... Your obsession is meaningless, so it's better to let it go."

Throughout your life, you have carried hatred, paid a heavy price, and ultimately committed evil deeds.

In the end, there's one sentence you can never truly understand: every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor!
The fact that you didn't understand this sentence is the most pitiful thing about your life.

Old Ghost Li sat on the ground, his body now shattered into a small fragment. But it finally stopped. Wisps of black energy seemed to be trying to repair his body, but to no avail, leaving only his head, neck, and upper body intact.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor..."

Old Man Li muttered the phrase repeatedly, his voice filled with anguish: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor..."

Suddenly, a voice slowly came from the back of the courtyard!

"Yes, that is, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor."

Chen Yan was taken aback, and raised his eyelids to look...

Shen Shiqi's small figure walked from the backyard, carrying two memorial tablets in her arms!
"You do not seek justice from those who have committed wrongdoing, but instead seek debt from those who have no debts. This is evil!"
Because you are cowardly, you are afraid of death, and you say that your magic is not enough and you dare not waste your life to take revenge. In fact, your cowardice has been deeply rooted in your soul since the day you escaped from the destruction of the Li family!
For over 150 years, you dared not seek revenge, instead cultivating your skills frantically, hiding in the shadows like a rat.

Actually, you're just afraid of dying.

You practiced your spiritual cultivation like a madman, almost to the point of self-torture. It seemed like you were giving it your all, sacrificing everything, and enduring all kinds of suffering.

Actually, you just can't let go of yourself. Deep down, you know that you don't seek revenge because you're afraid of death and cowardly. You hate yourself and want to punish yourself, so you can only find an excuse to avoid the inner torment by engaging in crazy training!

When your enemies have all grown old and died, disappeared, and are no longer in this world.

You'd dare to show your face like a rat in a sewer!
Because you're afraid!

Old Ghost Li's face gradually became confused: "I...I'm scared?"

However, he then flew into a rage: "Nonsense! I am a cultivator! Why would I be afraid of a few mortals?!"

"You're just scared!"

Shen Shiqi's tone was sharp as a knife as he coldly said, "Because your whole family was slaughtered that day, the image of your enemy's ferocity and cruelty has been engraved in your mind!"

You are afraid, not because they are powerful, but because they are your inner shadow, your nightmare, your obsession!

Just like a tiger fears the whip in the hand of its trainer.

Because that's the most terrible psychological mark left on you from your childhood!

So you've been waiting for 150 years, and you still don't dare to take revenge!

You've made countless excuses for yourself.

To deceive yourself, you're even engaging in self-harm, desperately trying to convince yourself that your waiting is perfectly justified...

Actually, it's all a lie!
You are afraid!
You only dare to vent your obsession on a few innocent and vulnerable people.

Shen Shiqi spoke sternly and decisively, then his small body swayed before he looked at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan sighed: "Didn't I tell you not to come in from outside?"

A complex expression appeared on Shen Shiqi's small face: "Fellow Daoist, please leave this person's life to me, is that alright?"

Chen Yan frowned: "You're so young, don't commit murder. I'll finish him off."

Suddenly, tears streamed down Shen Shiqi's face.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, but this man's life is mine to take!"

Because he is my enemy!

Chen Yan was startled. After staring at Shen Shiqi for a few moments, he seemed to suddenly realize something.

Shen Shiqi took a deep breath, letting the tears stream down her face, but with a complex smile, she turned to look at the old ghost of the Li family.

"Eight years ago, you came to seek revenge on the Sun family, and secretly burned down their factory and warehouse."

That night, a huge fire broke out, and a warehouse keeper who happened to be on duty in the warehouse was burned to death!

He was only thirty years old back then. He was a very hardworking person who loved his family!

He has a hardworking wife who loves to laugh, speaks loudly, and makes delicious rice cakes!
He also has two young children! His eldest son is only three years old and has just started kindergarten, while his youngest daughter is not even a year old!
That night he was on duty in the warehouse. He took on a lot of duty work because he had a lot of expenses for his two children and wanted to earn more money through overtime pay.
His wife suffered a heart attack the day after her husband's unexpected death and died suddenly in the hospital!

His two young children were orphans from that moment on!

As she spoke, Shen Shiqi sighed softly, "Fortunately, fortunately... the Sun family is kind-hearted and took the two children to their own orphanage to take care of them personally..."

But that little boy, that's me...

I will kill you today, for revenge!

You killed my father, so it's only right that I kill you!

Shen Shiqi's small face turned fierce, and his tone became impassioned: "Li family scum! You rat, you coward, you piece of trash, you bastard!"
Look carefully and listen carefully!
Though I am young, I will kill you with everything I have!
I'll only kill you!!

This is what revenge is all about!

And you are nothing but a coward who uses the lives of innocent people to escape the cowardice in your heart!

No matter how many innocent people you kill in your life, you will never avenge your family!
Your parents died tragically before your eyes, and you didn't even let them rest in peace!
Because of you, you're just a piece of trash!!

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Shiqi solemnly placed the two memorial tablets in his hand on the ground in front of him, facing the old ghost of the Li family!

Two unfamiliar and insignificant names were written on it... Neither surnamed Sun nor Li!
Two names! One male, one female!
"Dad, Mom, you saw with your own eyes today that your son has avenged you!"

The sight of those two memorial tablets caused the old man from the Li family, who was lying on the ground, to suddenly widen his eyes.

His face trembled slightly, contorted, and his eyes were filled with endless fear and...guilt!
Shen Shiqi calmly took out the Soul-Suppressing Lamp from his backpack.

chap!
Light the lights!

"Old Taoist priest, we've made a deal. Over the years, I've used my own life essence to maintain the Soul-Suppressing Lamp, leaving you with your last wisp of soul. Now, you will be my blade to kill him!!"

The boy's words were resolute!

·
[Attention, I have to go to a meeting tomorrow and probably won't be back until tonight, so I'm asking for a day off tomorrow.]

Updates will resume the day after tomorrow.
Thank you everyone for your understanding~
I need to clarify something. Some people have said that I basically didn't stop updating when I started writing the book, but now that it's the second half of the year, I've started having meetings and taking leave.

When it came time to start the book, I wanted to make a good impression, so I declined as many meetings and business trips as I could.

But those are still work commitments, and I can't keep postponing them all year round. So I missed quite a few meetings in the first half of the year, and it's difficult to keep postponing them in the second half... Please forgive me~ I'll try my best to maintain an update schedule!
