Chapter 1039 - 1039 Triggered Sub Mission, Additional Reward
1039 Triggered Sub Mission, Additional Reward
In this world, no one could truly empathize with the grief of others.
Lan Yuan believed that the reason Yu Huang could answer her so confidently was that Yu Huang had never experienced her suffering.
Lan Yuan was ugly and had been criticized since she was young.
Although everyone in the Four-Armed Clan had four arms, not everyone was as tall and mighty as her. She was much taller than even the men in the clan.
!!
Although Lan Yuan looked mighty and intimidating, there was a gentle woman’s soul in the depths of her heart.
Like other girls, Lan Yuan also liked beautiful dresses and high heels.
Rainy nights were when there were the least tourists on the streets.
Lan Yuan had once sneaked into a women’s shoe shop on a rainy night. Under the shocked gazes of the salespeople, she tried on all the women’s shoes in the shop. Unfortunately, the largest female shoe in the shop was only size 47.
And Lan Yuan had to wear size 50 shoes.
When Lan Yuan’s father found out that his daughter had secretly gone to a shoe store to buy high heels, he secretly found a shoemaker who was good at making shoes and asked him to customize a pair of light blue high heels with a diamond bow for Lan Yuan.
On Lan Yuan’s birthday, she received her father’s gift. She hid in the room alone and happily stroked the shoes a few times.
She tried on the shoes. They indeed fit well. However, the muscular Lan Yuan weighed 280 pounds. While she was wearing those beautiful high heels, before she could even walk out of the door, the heel of her right shoe was crushed.
After Lan Yuan picked up the broken high heels, she couldn’t help but cry softly.
Because she had an overly masculine body, Lan Yuan had been mocked and slandered by many people behind her back. After being let down by a jerk, Lan Yuan had completely given up on love.
Therefore, Lan Yuan didn’t believe that there would be a man who didn’t care about a woman’s looks.
Everyone said that inner beauty was far more important than physical beauty. But if you were ugly, who would care about your personality?
Yu Huang shook her tightly clasped hands with Sheng Xiao. Her eyes were filled with tenderness.
“Senior Lan Yuan, I forgot to tell you that I was once a superstar. I was disfigured by a fire and my future was ruined. I’ve experienced the misery you’re talking about, but my husband stayed by my side when I was at the lowest point in my life.”
“In this world, there are heartless people and loyal people. Senior Lan Yuan, why do you have to cut off your compa.s.sion for this world for a sc.u.mbag? Instead of cutting off your love, why don’t you cut off that jerk’s lifeblood instead?”
This was the difference between Yu Huang and Lan Yuan.
Yu Huang would never punish herself with the mistakes of others.
If Sheng Xiao let her down in the future, Yu Huang wouldn’t lose her compa.s.sion for this world because of Sheng Xiao’s betrayal. She would punish whoever betrayed her. After revenge, she would continue living a carefree life.
Then, Yu Huang pulled Sheng Xiao away and left the boxing arena quickly.
After Lan Yuan heard Yu Huang’s last sentence, she immediately felt enlightened.
Yes!
She wasn’t the one in the wrong. Why should she hide in a small town and remain depressed over that jerk?
Instead of severing her trust in love, it was better to sever the b.a.s.t.a.r.d’s lifeblood.
That’s right!
She couldn’t waste her entire life because of that jerk’s mistake.
Lan Yuan suddenly stood up, and her eyes were burning with fighting spirit. She turned around and nodded at Zhou Yue as she said decisively, “Miss Zhou, I plan to resign.”
Zhou Yue looked at Lan Yuan with a smile. “Are you suddenly enlightened?”
Nodding her head, Lan Yuan said, “That little girl is right. I can’t punish myself with other people’s mistakes. The future is still long. I can’t waste time here.” After being let down by the jerk, Lan Yuan fled to the town like a coward, while that jerk and b*tch were still living a carefree life.
Lan Yuan felt that she had let herself down, as well as her parents, who had given birth to her and raised her.
Seeing that Lan Yuan had made up her mind to leave, Zhou Yue shrugged and smiled. “Alright, if you want to leave, who can stop you?”

It was two o’clock in the afternoon when they left the boxing arena.
Warm sunlight shone on the s.p.a.cious road in the town. At this moment, most of the ascenders were doing a.s.sessment missions in the base.
The street was quiet.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao left the town hand in hand and went to Philand’s beef noodle restaurant.
Philand laid on a recliner under the roof in front of the door and took a nap. His face was covered with a fan. There was an open teacup on the coffee table beside him, and two mosquitoes had fallen into it.
Sheng Xiao bent down and picked up the teacup. Just as he was about to pour the mosquito’s tea, an old man with wrinkles s.n.a.t.c.hed the teacup from Sheng Xiao’s hand. Then, the person raised his head and drank the tea.
After drinking it, Philand questioned Sheng Xiao angrily, “What are you doing? Do you want to drink it for free because you know that my tea is made of spiritual herbs?”
Sheng Xiao froze.
Yu Huang sneered and told Philand gloatingly, “There were two mosquitoes in your cup. Brother Xiao was planning to pour the dirty tea for you just now.”
Philand was speechless.
He suddenly felt something moving in his stomach…
“Liar!” Philand refused to listen to their explanation.
As long as he didn’t believe Yu Huang’s words, it meant that he didn’t drink mosquitoes.
He just had to play the ostrich.
Yu Huang snorted and ignored Philand.
“You’ve disturbed my dreams, so you better have something serious.” Philand was angry after being woken up. He hated being disturbed when he was sleeping.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao didn’t say anything. They only took out their a.s.sessment doc.u.ments at the same time and handed them to Philand.
Philand was stunned. “a.s.sessment doc.u.ment?”
He picked up the reading gla.s.ses beside the teacup and put them on. Then, he stared at the a.s.sessment doc.u.ments carefully.
After confirming that these two a.s.sessment doc.u.ments were completely genuine, Philand looked at the two of them in shock and praised them awkwardly, “Not bad.”
He thought that Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao would need three days to complete the a.s.sessment mission. Unexpectedly, Yu Huang only used two and a half days, while Sheng Xiao only used one and a half days.
This group of peripheral world ascenders were all very capable.
Philand stood up and walked into the building with the two a.s.sessment doc.u.ments.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao followed him silently.
After entering the room, Philand turned on his computer. As he asked for their ident.i.ties, he registered them. “Name, age, blood type, place of birth…”
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao answered whatever he asked.
Philand wasn’t afraid that they would lie. No matter what their ident.i.ties in the Holy Spirit Continent were, when they arrived at the Cang Lang Continent, they could only use the ident.i.ty card registered today.
With one person asking question and two people answering. Soon, they filled in all their basic personal information. Finally, it was time for the ident.i.ty card that Philand had given them to be graded.
At that moment, Philand deliberately stopped and glanced at Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao.
Seeing that both of them were calm and composed, Philand felt bored, so he reluctantly typed the letter S behind the level column.
Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that their ID cards were S-level.
Just as they thought that it was over and that they could leave after taking their ident.i.ty cards, they heard Philand say, “Because you have completed an important side mission, the higher-ups have decided to reward you with a mysterious gift.” With that, an exquisite red wooden box appeared in front of them through spatial teleportation.
Philand grabbed the box and handed it to Sheng Xiao along with his ident.i.ty card.
After Sheng Xiao took the box, he was surprised to find that the thing in the box wasn’t heavy.
What was this?
“Mr. Philand, what exactly is the side mission you mentioned?” As the person involved, Sheng Xiao actually didn’t know anything.
When had he ever done a side mission?
He didn’t even know what the side mission was.
On the other hand, Yu Huang revealed a thoughtful expression. She stared at Philand as she asked tentatively, “Could this side mission be related to Senior Lan Yuan?”
Other than that, Yu Huang couldn’t think of any other possibility.
Sheng Xiao had a rough guess when he heard Lan Yuan’s name.
