Love, Gun, Cupid

Secondly, another way to prevent you from inheriting property is to establish that you are in a state of incapacity for property—a state in which you are unable to effectively manage your property for some reason.

In this room, your age... if I may ask, according to the dragon's conversion of human age, how old are you now?

Jasmine paused for a moment before answering, "Not even ten years old."

The lawyer sighed: "This will become an excuse for those who covet it. What about your guardian?"

He's in the hospital.

"Can we speak with him? If it involves a lawsuit, he will definitely represent you in court."

Jasmine shook her head: "He can't invite outsiders right now; the hospital has strict visitation policies."

"Alright... Today's visit was a bit abrupt. Please have Miss Sigurdsson carefully study the materials we brought. We can contact you by phone if needed."

Jasmine nodded, watching the three lawyers leave. She stared at the coffee in front of her, remained silent for a few seconds, then picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. The bitter taste hit her nostrils.

She rushed to the washbasin, and in the mirror, she saw a tearful face. After crying out all the guilt, anxiety, and confusion in her heart, she washed her face with cold water and wiped it clean with a handkerchief. In the mirror, her eyes were slightly red, but still acceptable.

“For the sake of my and Lin Jiade’s future, I must get this money, and I must remain very calm in front of him, calm enough not to make him, who is already exhausted, continue to worry.”

"Jasmine, oh Jasmine, you can do it... even if it means killing Sigurdsson and then claiming to be him to claim his inheritance."

Jasmine turned around, paid the bill, and left. Her eyes were as determined as a warrior's. After arriving at the hospital, the first person she visited was Kapok, and she shared what had happened with her.

On September 25th, Chelsea vs. Manchester City. Choose between Chelsea winning, a draw, or Manchester City winning. Correct guesses will result in an extra bonus.

Epilogue II

When Jasmine saw Kapok, some men in uniforms and black clothes walked out of the ward. To her surprise, Jasmine saw her former colleague... who was also a former lord of District 18 doing dirty work.

She went in, and Mu Mian looked alright. The two greeted each other with their eyes, and Mu Mian said, "This is the seventh group of people who have come to ask me about the situation."

“After all, too many important figures have died, including even a Celestial Observer… We really killed a Celestial Observer, and looking back, it’s just…” Jasmine replied.

Kapok calmly pointed out, "We don't even know if the cuckoo is dead or not. The reed warbler collected the cuckoo's body and returned to the heavens; who knows if they have any magic to bring the dead back to life."

There was no point in continuing this discussion, so Jasmine asked instead, "What did they ask you?"

"I answered everything honestly, from beginning to end. One of the visitors was a superhuman with interrogation magic. These kinds of people are like the expert players in a game; in their area of ​​expertise, it's very difficult to deal with them."

Mu Mian paused for a moment, then continued, "I fainted halfway through and didn't witness the end, so I can still give a coherent testimony on the most crucial points, while Lin Jiade will only be questioned more."

Have you been in contact?

“The Hehuan will pass on a message to us,” said Mumian. “It seems that her most difficult time has passed. Look at her, she’s about to become radiant again. Power really is the best cosmetic.”

"Shouldn't you be happy for your good friend?" Jasmine asked.

"I'm happy, yet I'm not happy."

Kapok looked like a riddle teller, and Jasmine didn't want to talk to her. She said, "A lawyer came to see me today."

"Who sent you the lawyer's letter?" Kapok asked.

“No, it’s Ragnar Sigurdsson’s legacy, and I have the right to inherit it,” Jasmine replied.

"I don't want to have a conflict with you, but if it were me, I wouldn't consider it."

"That estate is valued at thirty million dinars."

How can I help you get this inheritance?

Watching Kapok perform its chameleon act, Jasmine smiled dismissively and replied, "My lawyer told me that there are two troubles with inheriting property. The first is the government's claims and even lawsuits to freeze the property. The second is the harassment from other suddenly appearing relatives and mistresses of Ragnar."

"The second Hart family can be of some help. For the first one, you need to find Hehuan. Even if she has designs on your man, you must not act childishly and must work together with her."

“Lin Jiade is also your man,” Jasmine said.

Kapok paused for a moment, then looked at Jasmine with a strange expression, making Jasmine blush. She turned away and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You're quite cute."

“A week ago, I left the hospital and returned home at dawn. I took a nap, and when I woke up, I felt that it was quiet. I called out ‘Lin Jiade’, but no one answered.”

I groggily got up. Everyone, whether I liked them or hated them, was gone. The house was very warm, but I felt cold. It turns out that after getting used to seeing other people's lives all the time, living alone is so…lonely.

"You really are still a minor."

"And you, aren't you with us because you're lonely?"

Jasmine's question stumped Mumian, and she didn't give a decent answer until Jasmine left to find Lin Jiade.

A chaotic emotion filled Kapok's chest, and she suddenly felt that the room had become a small prison, so unbearable.

Soon after, a familiar scent filled Kapok's nostrils. She knew it was the scent of Albizia julibrissin. She looked up and saw Albizia diligently tidying her room. Suddenly, the negative emotions dissipated, and her heart returned to peace.

Are you lonely?

"Ok?"

Hehuan turned around, looking completely bewildered. Mumian hadn't lied to Jasmine; Hehuan's complexion was much better than before, probably like Lin Daiyu evolving into Xue Baochai.

Hehuan's two worries vanished that night. No one forced her to make the choice of becoming a mermaid anymore, and she no longer had to worry about her family being banished to a mining planet to work until they died because of the cult incident.

The information gathered about the Greek cult and the confessions of the prisoners all point to the fact that the cult Hehuan's parents were involved in was actually a front for the Greeks, and that the Greeks actively cooperated in framing Hehuan's parents in order to support Ragnar Sigurdsson's activities in Fuxing City.

Since the probability of being convicted on the main charges is becoming increasingly slim, judicial deals are no longer necessary. And the ever-sharp-eyed opportunists are once again adding fuel to the fire, with even the entertainment company that rejected Hehuan offering an even more lucrative deal.

Kapok was in a worse situation. She lost Earth Peach—although she hated the other party, she was still very unhappy about losing a dog she could torment. In addition, due to the aftereffects of overdosing on stimulants and using the overtime magic three times in eight hours, the doctor said that the damage to her physical functions was irreversible and suggested that she learn a level two magic to enhance her physical functions in order to compensate for the damage to her body.

An ambitious, talented, and diligent superhuman would need two years to fully master a level two magic spell, which means that Kapok's plan will have to be postponed for two years.

Two years is only one percent of the kapok tree's lifespan. However, in human society, every day moves faster than the last. A two-year delay means that half of her self-planning has been rendered useless.

"Did I do something to upset you?" Hehuan carefully tried to figure out what the kapok tree was thinking. "We're still good friends, right? If you have any thoughts, don't hide them from me, otherwise I can't change them."

He Huan's words gave Mu Mian a terrible headache. It was good that her good friend could reflect on her mistakes, but excessive reflection could cause trouble for the person involved.

She beckoned, and Hehuan, like a cat summoned, came close, sat down next to Kapok, and hugged her from the side.

“I’m glad you’re not angry,” Hehuan murmured. “After going through so much, I’ve realized how important you are… even more important than myself.”

Kapok shook her head: "Don't say that."

“I saw those men in black on the road.”

"They've come to me to understand what happened. Don't worry, I'm just telling them what I told you before. Do you think there's anything about this experience that could be considered a crime?"

"You're putting all the blame on the dead, of course nothing will happen to you." Hehuan stuck out her tongue. "However, Lin Jiade is going to be in trouble."

"Heroes, they shine brighter on the battlefield than others, but naturally they suffer more off the field than others."

"I'm saying...aren't you going to ask about me and Lin Jiade?"

"That's your business. I won't object to whatever choice you make. Besides, judging from your expression, your relationship hasn't gotten that bad."

“Lin Jiade… is a bit pitiful. He has experienced betrayal several times, so he’s become numb to my failed attempts at betrayal.” Hehuan blushed slightly. “I think he looks a little more handsome than usual right now. How should I put it? I want to hold him in my arms and cherish him, to warm him with my body heat. I guess this is my way of atoning for my sins.”

Mumian glanced at her best friend: "Overflowing with maternal love? But I think your maternal love will soon turn sour."

"Oh, right, I also saw Jasmine."

“I know she just came to my room saying she has a huge inheritance and two types of lawsuits involving the inheritance, and she is seeking our support.”

Hehuan instantly realized: "Ragnar Sigurdsson's money?"

"Ah."

"God..."

After a long pause, Hehuan sighed, "Jasmine has grown up too. I imagine her father would be very pleased with his daughter's transformation. He couldn't acknowledge Jasmine, he didn't gain her approval. Jasmine was still one step away from becoming the White Dragon, but this inheritance has shaped Jasmine into the White Dragon, Ragnar's successor."

“I think Ragnar probably has two plans: first, if his plan succeeds, then his assets will naturally be used to support his subsequent plans; if he fails, then the money will be used to support his successors and ensure that the White Dragon legacy continues.”

Jasmine decided that the money could only be inherited under the name of the White Dragon Sigurdsson. From then on, she was Jasmine the White Dragon, and had no further connection with the Red Dragon. Ragnar's wish had finally come true after his death.

Hehuan nodded: "I will do my best to help Jasmine. Jasmine has generously forgiven me and will continue to associate with me. Now is the time for me to repay her kindness. Moreover, our family will welcome our allies to enhance our financial strength."

There's one more thing. From the day after tomorrow until the end of February, I probably won't be able to spend time with you and Lin Jiade.

Mumian shook her head: "I've called my sisters over. They're enough to take care of me and Lin Jiade, and handle the other chores. You can go ahead. By the way, what is it?"

"My parents have been released from house arrest. Now that I can move freely, I want to go back and have a good talk with them, apologize for my immaturity and willfulness, and then plan for my future and the Hehuan family's future."

I need to learn these things on my own, Kapok. I would be grateful if you would be so kind as to guide me then.

"It's all good news. Go ahead and contact me if you need anything."

Hehuan tossed an orange to Mumian, then turned to leave. As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and said, "There's one more thing."

Mu Mian smiled slightly: "A few more things?"

Hehuan stuck out her tongue: "There really is only one. What should we do with the kapok and ground peach?"

After a moment of silence, Kapok said, "Give her a place in the family cemetery. She is my sister. Even though she betrayed me, it might be a virtue for the notorious Hart family."

"Yes, I will offer you a flower. Di Tao was once my playmate, but she gradually stopped playing with me after she saw that I was closer to you."

I feel terrible, agonizing over losing friends my own age at such a young age. At the same time, I've made up my mind to return to this world and use my own strength to protect and care for the friends I know.

After all, I am naive and selfish; I would rather die in the company of my family and friends than in the company of my family and friends.

You should get some rest.

Hehuan closed the door, and the early winter sun gave her room a blood-red hue. Kapok could see that her good friend had quietly changed. Hehuan was still a princess, but now, the princess's mind was less innocent and more mercenary.

Is this considered growth?

Mumian drew the curtains, untied her hospital gown, and pushed up the vest she was wearing underneath. Three patterns, symbolizing happiness, pain, and submission respectively, shimmered with a peach-pink light in the darkness.

She dared not tell the men in black from the Empire, dared not tell Hehuan, dared not tell Jasmine that it was the fact that her mark was still there. And the mark was something that Dujuan had given to Lin Jiade. Could Lin Jiade maintain it on his own? The answer she got from Hehuan through her indirect inquiries was "no".

So, the fact that the imprint is still there is either because Lin Jiade unconsciously maintained the imprint after merging with the power of the cuckoo, but that's impossible, because the celestial representative had visited the hospital, and the celestial realm would not allow their things—even things belonging to sinners—to fall into the hands of mortals.

Therefore, it is highly likely that Du Juan is still alive. Although she heard that Wei Ying had taken Du Juan back to the Heavenly Realm, it is still unknown how the Heavenly Realm will deal with Du Juan.

The reason Kapok didn't say anything was because they had finally developed a sense of "struggle" and "unity" based on the fact that Azalea was dead and their shared experiences. If she were to say that Azalea was still alive at this point, Hehuan would be so frightened that she would have a mental breakdown, and Jasmine would be filled with anxiety.

Lin Jiade must know more about Du Juan's existence than she does, and Jasmine will also realize it after she has processed the aftermath of the events that occurred in late January. Therefore, there is no need for her to spread panic.

At this moment, Kapok thought of Korobochka, who had always been a sword orchid. She wondered where he was now, how the Empire would deal with her for being so audacious, and when they would be able to meet again.

"You first deceived yourself, then you deceived your enemies, and finally you deceived us, before finally overturning your lies. Dujuan was too eager to regain her strength, coupled with her unparalleled arrogance, which allowed your lies to make a spectacular comeback."

Mumian initially had only so-so feelings for Jianlan, but now, her feelings for Jianlan have turned into respect, and she prays in her heart that one day the other party can return to her and Lin Jiade's life.

However, she didn't know whether it was Gladiolus who returned then, or Gladiolus who imitated Korobochka, but she believed that it was definitely not Korobochka who returned.
