I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1435 - 1436: Insufficient Permissions (12th update, seeking rewards)

"Qingshan, there’s no need to say more!" Wei Yingyue glared at Wei Qingshan, who quickly shut his mouth, though he still showed his determination and expression of solidarity with Wei Yingyue. Everyone in the room wouldn’t think this was due to Wei Qingshan’s strong family bonds, but rather because his monthly allowance was in Wei Yingyue’s hands, making Wei Qingshan practically Wei Yingyue’s little minion.

"Gurgle——" At this moment, your stomach embarrassingly rumbled, and it was the kind of sound that carried quite far.

Actually, you weren’t hungry; you just intentionally made such a sound to change the topic. After all, from your perspective, you didn’t intend to keep using this Li Tian identity for long. Once the birthday banquet ended, you’d disappear immediately; you couldn’t care less about the engagement.

Old Grandpa Wei heard this and couldn’t help but laugh heartily: "We were just about to eat. Come, Little Li, sit with me."

Although it was Old Grandpa Wei’s seventieth birthday, apart from family, no one else was present. The absence of gifts in the room was quite rare in China. Soon, you sat down with everyone else, positioned between Old Grandpa Wei and Wei Yingyue, which made you feel a bit awkward.

According to your original intention, you would have turned around and left directly; you really didn’t expect things to develop to this point. However, at such close range, you realized that Wei Yingyue was indeed a rare beauty with a unique temperament.

Wei Yingyue had fair and delicate skin, and although she wore professional attire that wrapped her graceful body snugly, your keen eye could undoubtedly tell that she had a shapely figure. Sitting next to her, you could always smell a mesmerizing fragrance, which subtly stirred a desire to be close to her.

You looked at Wei Yingyue boldly and directly, not sneakily at all, without any disguise, your gaze consistently sharp from start to finish. This was partly because you had just come out from a game world where killing people and monsters was commonplace. Although you had calmed down for a few days and lost some hostility, your gaze had become even sharper.

This aspect quite matched Old Grandpa Wei’s temperament. Old Grandpa Wei immediately patted your shoulder and laughed, "You sure are bold, kid. Usually, those who look at Yue’er like this often end up being taught a harsh lesson by her."

"Oh really? These small arms and legs, how much strength could they possibly have." Your straightforward words made Old Grandpa Wei laugh heartily.

Wei Qingshan couldn’t stand your arrogance and immediately tried to intimidate you: "My sister is a Taekwondo black belt, ninth dan, she’ll toy with you to death!"

With a grin, you didn’t say anything more.

The food was soon served, and you ate like a reincarnated hungry ghost, devouring the meal ravenously, which drew Wei Qingshan’s displeasure and Wei Yingyue’s frown. However, the elders of the Wei Family didn’t reveal too much emotion; in their view, your eating manner was still within their tolerable range.

"Little Li, your eating manners really resemble your grandfather’s." Old Grandpa Wei found your actions rather endearing.

You swallowed the food in your mouth and wiped your lips: "Anyone who hasn’t eaten for a few days wouldn’t have good manners."

Wei Songbo gave you a piece of braised pork, looked at you, and smiled: "Little Li, where are you staying now?"

"Where to stay?" You scratched your head, "Anywhere will do. I’ll just find a hotel to rest later."

"A hotel?"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly noticed that your clothing was a bit tattered, and you looked a bit messy, resembling a drifter or a small-time thug.

This discovery scared Wei Yingyue’s mother quite a bit. Although she didn’t oppose Wei Yingyue cohabiting with you, that was because Wei Yingyue wasn’t an ordinary girl, and she could definitely manage her life without being influenced by you. However, if you were an unemployed drifter and a small-time thug, she absolutely wouldn’t let you near her precious daughter.

"Ahem!" Wei Wuyue cleared his throat, calming everyone’s spirits. He looked at you and asked diligently, "Little Li, where are you working now?"

"I don’t have a job."

At this, Wei Yingyue’s mother couldn’t sit still: "No way, I don’t agree with them living together! Yue’er can’t..."

"Enough!" Old Grandpa Wei suddenly slammed the table, his eyes as large as copper bells, emitting an air of authority without anger, "It’s not your place to speak here!"

"But, Dad..."

Wei Songbo pulled his wife down, gently patting her hand, and softly said: "Mengjun, let the second brother continue asking."

Wei Songbo had met countless people, but observing you at such close quarters, he found himself unable to comprehend this seemingly scruffy young man. You gave the impression of a precious blade sealed in a sheath, your brilliance hidden, yet the sharp aura in your eyes faintly revealed an inherently rebellious nature.

Wei Wuyue continued to ask, "Have you always been in Yuhang all these years?"

You shook your head: "No, I just came back."

As you spoke, you grabbed a bottle resembling blue and white porcelain wine and drank directly from the bottle. Within a few gulps, you finished the entire bottle of baijiu.

Watching you drink so boldly, not only the younger ones but even Old Grandpa Wei, known for his drinking capacity back in the troops, was taken aback: "Whoa, that’s over 60-degree plum wine, and the little guy drank it all in one go!"

Wei Wuyue also swallowed hard, realizing you weren’t simple at all. From his position as a military man, he could tell you were definitely no ordinary person. So, Wei Wuyue continued to inquire: "Little Li, where have you been before? What did you do?" freeweɓnovel-cøm

"Non-fixed. I’ve been drifting," you paused, "Let’s just say abroad. I’ve been everywhere and done everything."

Wei Wuyue and Wei Songbo exchanged glances, both slightly nodding, remaining silent.

Your vague words indicated that your past was probably not something to speak of openly. For an ordinary family, such a background might prompt them to keep their children away from you. But the Wei Family was different; on one hand, they owed the Chen family too many favors, and on the other, they were extremely trustworthy. The engagement set back then wouldn’t be nullified because of your past.

"You all continue eating; I need to use the restroom." At this point, Wei Wuyue stood up and walked out of the dining room.

You kept doing your thing, focusing only on the dishes on your plate. Although you had already eaten at home, this amount of food was digestible within minutes for you, after all, you weren’t an ordinary person.

Before long, Wei Wuyue came back in, looking a bit strange. He signaled Wei Songbo with a look. Wei Songbo stood up with furrowed brows and left with Wei Wuyue.

"Second Brother, did you find anything?" Wei Songbo seemed a bit tense. He didn’t want to break his promise, yet he also didn’t want his daughter to suffer in the future.

"Brother, it’s too strange. I’ve never encountered such a thing. I called Jiang Shu at the Tiannshu Office. Guess what Jiang Shu told me?" At this moment, Wei Wuyue was playing coy.

Wei Songbo was very anxious and urged, "Stop playing games with me, just tell me!"

Wei Wuyue said word by word: "My, clearance, is, not, enough."

Wei Songbo’s face was full of astonishment, as if encountering something completely beyond his imagination: "That’s impossible! You’re a Major General! Li Tian is just a kid; you can’t access his information?"
