Chapter 18: An Imbecile With Two Brats

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Up to now, he had to consider the correct relationship between him and Great-Grandma. After this period of time, he found that Great-Grandma was not like an existence of family guardians. Her correct identity is a spoiled ancestor!

In comparison, he was the baby that the spoiled ancestor brought around, as a grandson from god-knows-how-many generations after.

The primary and secondary status should be clearly distinguished.

He might have to be a good and obedient boy following after Great-Grandma in the future.

He learned of the secret existence of demon descendants just a week ago, and didn’t even count as an amateur. He didn’t even know how to awaken, and next year he will be 22 years old. If Great-Grandma were to be unhappy and roll around on the sofa throwing a tantrum and say, “You unfilial great-grandson, naughty boy, I’d better wait for your next generation…”

And then throw him out of the window…

Li Xianyu, deceased.

It would be the end of the Li family.

Li Xianyu was about to ask about his salary when Great-Grandma tugged at his clothes and frowned. “Li Xianyu, I’m hungry and I’ve said it several times…”

Li Xianyu lowered his voice and said, “Don’t make a scene. We can’t afford the food here. I can’t even pay for it by washing dishes.”

Great-Grandma gulped. “But it looks so good.”

Li Xianyu replied, “No matter how good it looks, we can’t eat it. Accept your fate, it’s too bad our Li family is poor, and entirely broke.”

Great-Grandma retorted, dissatisfied, “My Li family was a reputable family in the past.”

Li Xianyu covered his face. “Great-Grandma, the Qing Dynasty had fallen for more than a hundred years.”

Great-Grandma hurrumped, puffing her cheeks and sulking.

Old Master Qin and Lightning King looked at each other. The latter coughed and said, “Our restaurant is open to employees free of charge.”

After he finished his statement, the two’s eyes lit up, like two headlights.

Li Xianyu said solemnly, “Great-Grandma, actually, I’m hungry, too.”

Great-Grandma said, “Mm-hmm” twice. “Go order. Let’s eat three days worth of food, we’ll save on the next three days of food then.”

“Good idea,” Li Xianyu replied.

The sumptuous meals were served quickly, and the two gobbled it down frantically. Lightning King and Old Master Qin felt heartaches.

Old Master Qin said, “Didn’t your father leave a $200,000 deposit for you? You look like you have only been eating steamed corn bread for 3 months.”

As soon as he heard this, Li Xianyu said in a sorrowful manner, “Old Master Qin, there’s no more $200,000 deposit. We’ve already had two days of sauteed rice noodles, without scrambled eggs.”

Old Master Qin asked curiously, “No more? Did you get scammed?”

Great-Grandma is even scarier than being scammed.

Li Xianyu murmured, “I am really stupid, really, I just know this is Great-Grandma but I didn’t know this is a spendthrift Great-Grandma with a hole in her brain.”

Great-Grandma was angry, and without lifting her head, she continued to wolf down the food but freed up a small hand, and hit Li Xianyu’s head 20 consecutive times.

“By the way,” Lightning King said. “The salary of administrative staff is $8,000 a month, and intern’s pay is halved. As for you, because you are still in school, think of it as a part-time job. You’ll earn $2,000 a month.”

2,000?

Li Xianyu looked up and swallowed the food hard, “So little? Two thousand dollars is not enough for my Great-Grandma to eat pancakes.”

Lightning King shrugged.

Old Master Qin suggested, “Then you can consider joining the law enforcement department.”

Li Xianyu waved his hand, “Say no more, two thousand it shall be. I am a man of principles.”

Old Master Qin smiled exasperatedly. “The law enforcement department has a salary of $100,000 per month and an intern gets $50,000 per month.”

Clang!

The fork fell on the plate and made a crisp noise.

Li Xianyu was stunned, “H-how much?”

Lightning King replied, “The confirmed staff of the law enforcement department earn a monthly salary of $100,000, this is also the salary of ordinary employees. Interns earn $50,000 per month. After all, there is a certain danger in the law enforcement department, but since you have chosen an administrative role… ”

Li Xianyu waved his hand, his face solemn. “Say no more, I have always believed that with great power, comes great responsibility. Since the heavens have allowed me to inherit Great-Grandma, to maintain order and for the peace of the world, I am willing to join the law enforcement department.”

Lightning King asked exasperatedly, “What about your principles?”

Li Xianyu’s face exuded a more dignified attitude than the working people. “What are personal principles for the sake of world peace?”

Great-Grandma put down her spoon and applauded.

Lightning King opened his mouth to say something when Li Xianyu suddenly interrupted, “By the way, do ethnic minorities have welfare subsidies or something? After all, you are a state-owned enterprise. My Li family should be Manchurian. I want to apply for benefits and allowances that belong to me.”

“No.” Great-Grandma blinked her eyes and corrected, “My Li family is of Han descent, and all generations are of Han nationality. If we were Manchu, we would not have been annihilated at that time… Oh, yes, actually, my Li family is Manchu.”

Great-Grandma saw Li Xianyu winking at her and immediately changed her words.

Lightning King was shocked. A legendary Unparalleled War Spirit did not hesitate to forget her ancestors to get some welfare benefits?

“Who told you that the state-owned enterprises have preferential policies for ethnic minorities. We only register according to the ID card information,” Lightning King said, gently rejecting the war spirit, and added.

“I’ve asked Old Master Qin to take you to sign the labor contract after dinner. During the internship, you will deal with some trivial strange events. You don’t have to handle tasks of dealing with the demon descendants, and secondly, given that, since Elder Liu’s strength is sealed, you lack self-protection abilities, so I will arrange people to mentor you. In the future, you don’t need to be too reserved with the company’s seniors. Our demon descendant colleagues are a tight-knit bunch. They are all talented people and get along well with each other, like a family.”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the revolving restaurant.

A young man had inexplicably overturned a table, then spat fire all over the place. The fire swept through most of the revolving restaurant, and the crowd was rioting.

“Damn it, the Fire Child’s mental illness hasn’t recovered completely yet. Who let him out?”

“Are the fellows in the medical department imbeciles?”

“Goddamn it, the fire is burning my face off.”

“My 18-meter-long eyelashes are getting burned off! This is war.”

“Hurry up and stop him…”

Several guys lunged towards the fire, trying to stop the lunatic, and the next minute they were forced back by the blazing flames.

The insane man was still spitting fire around, and with every puff, he shouted, “It’s not me who’s wrong, it’s the world!”

People could blame anything on other factors, the world and time were often the targets of blame.

Old Master Qin took out his wallet and was about to reveal the leather rope. At this moment, a girl sitting in the east corner stepped on the table, and jumped up, carrying a brick in her hand.

Bang!

Resisting the blaze of fire, she hit the lunatic on the head with the brick. The lunatic was in pain and fainted to the ground with a whine.

Master Qin manipulated the leather rope, bundling the man in an instant and binding him perfectly with a tortoise armour.

So pretty!

Perverted Li Xianyu’s eyes lit up at the girl carrying the brick. Her facial features were beautiful, and she was tall and slender. She had a delicate oval-shaped face like Great-Grandma.

But compared to Great-Grandma’s mole below her eye which added a playful aura, this lady had an innocent demeanor.

Although the current oval-shaped face is known as the Internet influencer-esque face, but those online celebrities were too coquettish, no matter how beautiful their faces were, they cannot be considered the best.

A true beauty’s temperament was bound to outweigh appearance.

The lady’s temperament was like a white lotus growing from the mud, but remained untainted.

Lightning King made his men carry the mad man away, and then called for the girl, “San Wu, can you come here for a minute?”

The tall, long-legged girl came and her voice was crisp. “Womanizer Old Master Qin, long time no see. Lightning King, what’s the matter?”

Old Master Qin was embarrassed. “How many times must I say, you don’t have to say my prefix.”

Miss White Lotus nodded and said with a sincere expression, “Got it, Womanizer Old Master Qin.”

Lightning King patted Old Master Qin on the shoulder to comfort him. “I was just looking for you,” he said. “This is the company’s new employee. You’re in charge of him for his three months’ internship.”

Miss White Lotus immediately turned her eyes to Li Xianyu, tilted her head, as if remembering something, and then her eyes brightened. “Oh, it’s you.”

Li Xianyu was confused.

Old Master Qin coughed and diverted the topic, “San Wu, I’ll put Li Xianyu in your care, my job is done here.The big boss said he has a new assignment for me.”

“Master Qin.” Li Xianyu asked, “What was with that man? He could spit fire?”

If I’m not wrong, that’s an innate talent of the demon descendants?

He saw it for the first time. At the same time, Li Xianyu looked suspiciously at Lightning King. All of them were talented people, and they also had a lot of hidden connotations in their words. Whether it was the crazy man or the beautiful white lotus, there was something.

Was the supposed ‘get along well together’ spitting fire at each other when arguments arose?

“It was an accident. Fire Child has a mental disorder because he was traumatized by an accident, and after a six-year treatment, we thought he had recovered. But there was a sudden relapse. Alas, it was Long Ao Tian’s fault,” Lightning King explained.

“As for the fire, it is his innate talent. Ancient demons possessed supernatural abilities, and these abilities were transmitted to the demons descendants with the genes. My power is to control lightning. Old Master Qin can control objects. San Wu’s power is the precision of her strike, no matter what, she can hit someone as long as she throws it out.”

As if complementing Lightning King’s words, Miss White Lotus did not look back, casually throwing a brick. With a smack, it accurately hit the crazy man’s head.

The man was still in a coma, and his response was just a leg spasm.

She was a sworn enemy of dodgeball players.

“For more information about demon descendants, I’ll add you into the company’s demon descendants group. Download the files yourself,” Lightning King said.

Li Xianyu nodded and wondered, “Great-Grandma, what is our family’s talent?”

Great-Grandma replied seriously, “Strengthen! Our Li family can strengthen and enhance all tangible substances, and the increase depends on the degree of cultivation. Before our Li family fell, it was a famous alchemy family in the demon descendants community.”

Li Xianyu asked, “So we are metalsmiths?”

Great-Grandma whacked him on the head.

Lightning King said, “It is precisely because it’s a famous family of alchemists that they could cast an everlasting Unparalleled War Spirit.”

Li Xianyu reached out to the Miss White Lotus and said, “Hello, my name is Li Xianyu. Please give me advice in the future.”

Miss White Lotus said, “Hello.”

Li Xianyu was speechless.

Old Master Qin came closer and whispered, “Don’t mind her, this girl has a hole in her head. Let’s go downstairs and sign the contract and talk as we walk.”

A hole in her head?

Li Xianyu’s expression turned downcast. He already has a Great-Grandma who has a hole in her head. Now there’s another one?

An imbecile with two brats?
