The Legacy System

The little beauty had no idea that the cub wolf she was trying to push away was actually the pack's alpha, and he had already set his eyes on her.

It was precisely due to that, that she felt a slight chill running down her back, but she didn't have the time or the attention to feel it because she was extremely curious and angry.

With those thoughts in mind, she immediately started walking towards the bathroom door that she had led Eric just a few moments ago, only to stop in her tracks and then go into hiding once again.

That was because the door of the bathroom was opened, and Madam Yan Meng came out of there with a complex and lost expression.

This scene made the little beauty even more startled and shocked, as she couldn't help what the hell had just happened, as a weird thought crept into her head.

'It couldn't be, right!? Eric couldn't be Madam Yan Meng's lover right!? But if that weren't the case, then why didn't she scream when she saw Eric enter inside?

Why didn't she chastise Eric for his grave mistake!? This didn't make any sense to her! Just what the hell had happened inside that bathroom!?'

The answer to that question though could only be found in Eric and Madam Yan Meng, and truthfully she didn't dare to face Madam Yan Meng.

Even though her position was relatively safe, and the whole Long Family had a good impression of her, she understood her position and standing.

If that monster woman and first lady of the family wanted her gone, then no one would be able to protect or defend her, not even her Young Miss.

Since she couldn't find a breakthrough with Madam Yan Meng, then the only lead she had in this situation was Eric.

With those thoughts in her mind, she immediately went to find her Young Miss and tell her about all the recent developments.

On the other hand, Eric had finally arrived at the garage tools of the garden and started working around the place, taking extra care with each herb, flower, and plant.

After all, while there were only a few 'tall mountains' in this garden, there were still a lot of hills and small mountains that could satisfy the hunger of a small evolver like him.

Growing in such an opportune and good environment, each blade of grass, and each petal or thorn of a flower was extremely much better than those outside.

In fact, many of them could even be used as materials for him to concoct pills. Materials that the outside world would have to pay in thousands, for were growing here in a garden.

One could easily understand the disparity in life!

Eric wasn't the kind of guy to think that there should be absolute equality, after all from birth babies and humans are different.

He was a supporter of Justice, and the truth was that this was a part of justice as well. The Long Family was living through a period of great prosperity because they had worked for this.

The fact that the one to have worked hard was their Ancestor or their current head it didn't really matter, at the end of the end this was repayment for someone's effort.

The same thing could be said for him, it was his determination and hard work that would eventually lead him towards the accomplishment of his dreams.

He didn't expect it to fall from the sky, and neither did he expect to have someone hand it over to him.

After all, the Legacy System, the Dragon Empress, and that Mysterious Beauty were enough of heaven-sent gifts.

Most of his achievements had come from the help of these mediums, but one shouldn't disregard his effort and hard work as well.

If it weren't for his resolve, determination, and hard work he would have ended up losing these opportunities or dying in the hands of someone else and losing everything.

Life was a war from the start, and only through constant fighting and killing one would be able to reach heights he had never thought possible, and 'succeed' in life.

With these thoughts in his mind, he quickly finished whatever he had to do, and finally, at the right time, he made his way towards the staff kitchen and eat his share.

A lot of people gave him weird looks and were whispering something under his breath, but he disregarded everything related to him and only concentrated on rumors about the people of interest.

Hearing the whispers he couldn't help but think that there were always at least three people who knew about everything in the house, the people responsible and the maid that served them.

In but a meal he had received enough information about all the figures of the Long Family, including the biggest incidents related to them.

For example, Madam Yan Meng was thought of as a devil woman, an enchantress who had taken the mind of the Long Family Master and was poisoning his mind and heart every day.

The person who was the most displeased with her was certainly the Empress Dowager, or to be more accurate Master Long's own mother.

She treated her bride like an enemy of the state and was doing whatever she could to force her son to throw her away and be done with it.

There was constant bickering between the two women, with none of them willing to lower her head.

The Young Miss he had met sometime earlier, was actually a terrible rebel young lady, obsessed with fights and gambling.

There were rumors about her taking debts and forcing the Long Family to pay for her, but he didn't know how certain these rumors were.

As for Master Long, he turned out to be a cold, abrupt, and violent man, who only cared about his desires and benefits which surprised Eric by quite a bit.

After all, at the Auction House, Master Long didn't give him that vibe. He seemed more like an easily bullied man, rather than a cold and frightening bear.

Still, these whispers couldn't be wrong either, as these servants saw him more than anyone else in the Long Family Mansion, or in his private life.

In fact, there were a few rumors about him having affairs with the maids of the Mansion, and then throwing them away, but those were unfounded rumors.

Of course, there was more and more information to learn about, but he couldn't stay too long and attract attention in that place.

This wasn't going to be his last night in this Mansion anyway, he had quite some time to hear anything that he needed and wanted to hear.

Not to mention, that tonight he had an important appointment where he waited for the decision of Wei QingPing.

With these thoughts in mind, he didn't waste time and started walking towards his room, where the woman was waiting for him.

Without even knocking on the door he entered inside and took a look around, only to see Wei QingPing with a lost look on the bed.

There were traces of tears on her face, as her eyes were a bit bloody due to her heavy crying. Which was expected, despite everything she was still a woman, a human being.

Eric saw this as normal, so he just entered inside and immediately went towards the shower to rinse his body, as he said on the way,

"If you have decided to fully become mine, then you can join me in the shower! If you have decided against it, then you can just leave the room, there is no need to have you here any longer."

Then without even turning his head to look at her eyes, he continued towards the shower with calm and normal steps.

His voice certainly startled the lost Wei QingPing, as she was awakened from her stupor and couldn't help but look at him in a complex and weird expression.

She was stuck between a rock and a hard place, but she had been considering her situation for the whole day today, and she knew that she didn't have any other choice.

She was old enough and smart enough to understand the mess she was in, and the fault she held in all this, so she could only surrender.

With these thoughts in mind, she immediately stood up from the bed, and then started walking towards the door.

The door wasn't far from the bed, so she reached there quite fast, and placed her hand on the handle.

Knowing this Eric couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed that he had actually failed with her, but he didn't care much about it.

After all, whatever had happened between the two of them was just him taking revenge, and he didn't really need her anymore.

Today had been an extremely satisfying day for him, as he had not only managed to put his hands on Lu'er but he had also managed to make a connection with a Young Miss of the Family, and Madam Yan Meng.

In this whole situation, Wei QingPing became only an extra pawn, and he didn't have much need of her help. Neither was she able to help him much!

As he thought up to here, Eric turned his attention towards his shower, and immediately started it while he covered his body in shampoo and hummed a song.

No matter whether someone is a great cultivator, an expert, a poor man, or a crazy killer, the shower is always the best arena to sing a song karaoke-style.

'Crack…, crackk~!'

At this moment he heard two sounds coming from the door of the room…
