His divine sense followed these threads, seeking their endpoints—
Among them, a dazzling golden thread connected to Audrey outside!
There were even more threads, connecting to farther places:
Xina, Natalia, and Rachel at the Beautiful Country Special Agent Bureau!
Gu Fei, Ouyang Yunzhi, Zhong Qinglan, Zhi Xi in the Eastern Country...
His own women!
Familiar old friends!
Even other acquaintances!
Or strangers!
...
These threads—
Some are dazzling!
Some are dim!
Some shimmer with golden light!
Some are shrouded in dark aura...
He gradually realized that each thread represents a person’s cause and effect.
Everyone connected to him has a causal relationship with him!
It might be in the past, it might be now, or it might be in the future.
His fate with them will ultimately intertwine, mutually influencing!
It might benefit him.
It might harm him!
...
"Is this the Law of Cause and Effect? To see through the world’s causality..."
Lin Lang jumped out of his self-created Cultivation Space.
Breathed out a sigh.
The golden light in his eyes gradually dissipated.
His vision also returned to normal!
Only a faintly elusive mysterious aura still lingered around him, making him harder to fathom.
...
"Hmm... Lin Lang?"
Beyond the curtain.
Came Audrey’s faint, somewhat panicked voice.
Lin Lang then crossed the curtain.
Sat on Audrey’s bed.
She was still asleep, probably just talking in her sleep.
"I’m here."
Lin Lang held her hand.
"Hmm!"
Audrey’s sleeping face was serene and beautiful—
Her slightly curled hair strands scattered by her cheeks, gently trembling with her even breaths.
Lin Lang slowly leaned down, placing a gentle kiss on Audrey’s forehead.
"Lin Lang?"
Audrey suddenly opened her eyes.
Lin Lang gently stroked her hair, smiling warmly:
"Did I wake you? Sorry..."
Audrey looked at Lin Lang, then said:
"It’s already morning! Why aren’t you going to work yet? Will your salary be deducted?"
Lin Lang:
"..."
...
[Audrey]
[Appearance: 9.8 points]
[Recharge: 2 times]
[Loyalty: 80%]
[Return Multiplier: 8000]
[Combat Power: E+]
[Superpower: Thorns (Level 2)]
"Though a bit money-minded, her loyalty is rising really fast!"
Lin Lang checked Audrey’s information.
Couldn’t help feeling surprised—
80% loyalty!
return multiplier!
That means—
Every time Audrey spends 1 gold coin!
Lin Lang immediately receives 8000 gold coins back!
In that case!
No need to go to work!
Lin Lang then held Audrey’s hand and told her:
"Now that you are my woman, there’s a secret I can tell you!"
"Ah? What secret?"
Audrey blinked, looking expectant!
Lin Lang then said:
"Actually, I’m a billionaire! No more pretending, I’m laying it out!"
"Ah?"
Audrey exclaimed!
But the next moment!
She reached out to touch Lin Lang’s forehead:
"Could it be a fever making you talk nonsense? Or am I still not fully awake? Or is it just hallucination due to being too poor?"
Lin Lang took her hand down, seriously saying:
"It’s true! You know, I never lie."
"Ah? This..."
Audrey felt Lin Lang didn’t seem to be joking, but still found it hard to believe!
After all!
Such a scenario is too melodramatic and ridiculous—
If Lin Lang were really wealthy!
How could he end up being taken in in the slums?
Definitely fake!
Fairy tale prince and frog stories only exist in fairy tales!
This is the real world!
Definitely impossible!
...
Lin Lang said to her:
"It’s okay if you don’t believe, I can prove it."
"But now... can you take me out to buy something?"
Upon hearing this!
Audrey was instantly speechless—
What kind of billionaire can’t even afford meals!
Who’d believe such an outrageous joke?
The key is, she almost wavered just now!
Then, angrily, she said:
"Alright! So you wanted to go out for good food, that’s why you tricked me! Humph!"
"However! I’ll forgive you this time! Let’s go!"
She held Lin Lang’s hand, walking out of the house!
...
Walked onto the bustling street!
Audrey asked Lin Lang:
"What do you want to eat? But let’s agree in advance, nothing too expensive!"
Lin Lang wasn’t genuinely hungry—
He just wanted Audrey to spend some gold coins!
To trigger the return function!
Now!
Lin Lang saw the café he had visited before!
So he led Audrey in:
"Thirsty, let’s have a coffee first!"
...
The young female employee recognized Lin Lang—
After all, this is the Beautiful Country!
And he is an Eastern person!
And a very young, handsome Eastern person with extraordinary presence!
The key is!
He didn’t even have ten gold coins on him when he last bought coffee, using a gold watch to settle the bill!
But this time...
He had a beautiful girl by his side.
Is she his girlfriend?
He sure is lucky!
She gave Lin Lang a smiling look:
"Sir, is it two cups of coffee this time?"
"Just one cup!"
Lin Lang replied.
"Okay, that’ll be ten gold coins total."
The lady employee told Lin Lang.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing that just one cup costs ten gold coins!
Audrey couldn’t help but show a pained expression:
"So expensive? Can we choose something else?"
Ten gold coins, it’s a whole day’s salary for Lin Lang!
Lin Lang insisted:
"Just this one, hurry up and pay!"
"Oh!"
Audrey felt the pain!
But still reluctantly handed over ten gold coins!
In the next moment!
[Audrey consumed ten gold coins, return 80000 coins, stored in host space]
