After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Si Fuqing returned to her bedroom and picked up her phone to call Yuejian. “Third senior sister, have you found out anything about the Evolved Being Alliance?” she asked.

Yuejian frowned slightly. “Not yet. The information from the Evolved Being Alliance isn’t something that can be cracked with hacking skills alone. They have psychic-type evolved beings in their ranks, and both you and I have left traces there.”

“But your uncle, even when paired with an ordinary person, was able to produce a super class A evolved being. His own lineage must be no less than class S,” she explained.

Class S evolved beings were exceedingly rare within the Evolved Being Alliance.

They would be eager to recruit such individuals, not expel them.

Si Fuqing’s gaze deepened. “I understand. My uncle is safe for now; I can wait.”

“By the way, I ran into some of your fans while I was out drinking today,” Yuejian added, raising an eyebrow. “A couple was discussing how to celebrate your birthday. You really are popular everywhere you go.”

Without any modesty, Si Fuqing raised her eyebrows. “Of course, I’m quite likable.”

She had once accidentally burned down her big senior brother’s wine cellar and nad gotten away witn It ratner easily.

She was adept at handling her fellow senior brothers and sisters.

“I’ve also prepared a gift for our little junior sister,” Yuejian said with a deeper smile. “There will probably be quite a few people celebrating your birthday.

You’ll be busy.”

Si Fuqing’s birthdays were indeed significant to her fans.

She had been in the public eye for nearly three years, but everyone knew how those first two years had gone.

This was the first year they could celebrate her birthday openly.

After enduring the hardships, darkness faded, only brilliance remained.

Fan groups and forums had organized themselves by region to plan the celebration.

It was all spontaneous; even the studio was out of the loop.

Yu Tang had become a major fan influencer in the forums and was leading the birthday planning group this time.

She had prepared several plans and had even contributed her own allowance.

“Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine!” Yu Tang immediately called Yu Xiheng. “Qingqing’s birthday is coming up, and I’ve taken out all my saved allowance for a gift. You haven’t forgotten to prepare something, have you?”

Yu Xiheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, his tone cool and distant. “You still have allowance.”

Yu Tang paused, realizing her slip of the tongue.

“I—I’ve been saving,” she said sheepishly. “I hadn’t spent it all before. Don’t change the subject, Uncle Nine. I’ve emptied my little treasury, so you can’t be stingy!”

With a calm expression, Yu Xiheng replied, “This month’s allowance will be sent to you by Feng San.”

Covering her mouth to contain her excitement, Yu Tang exclaimed, “I’ll definitely make sure Qingqing has a great birthday. We can’t let her down!” She knew that as long as she mentioned Qingqing, her allowance was secure.

After the call ended, Yu Xiheng opened his eyes.

Leaning back, he looked out the window, his mind wandering slightly.

It had been over a decade since he arrived in this era, but every time he saw the skyscrapers, it all felt a bit surreal, as if it could all disappear at any moment.

Birthday.

The word held no particular significance for him.

He never celebrated his own birthday, and he had few memories associated with them.

Except once, he remembered vividly.

He still remembered the words that ghost had written for him on the ground.

—On your birthday, of course you must eat longevity noodles. May your life be as constant as the moon, as rising as the sun. May you live as long as the Southern Mountains, unending and unbroken.

—Eating longevity noodles is supposed to ensure a long life. That was the first time he had ever eaten longevity noodles.

Yu Xiheng’s eyebrows twitched.

Perhaps because he hadn’t finished that bowl ofnoodles, he had passed away

But it was truly awful.

r

lWvo lifetimes later, and he still remembered how terrible that bowl of noodles tasted when he was ten.

How could anyone make something so unpalatable?

Yu Xiheng sighed lightly.

Longevity noodles, indeed an indispensable tradition.

This time, he would have to prepare.

The following day in the city of Sijiu, the headquarters of the Thousand Army Alliance was bustling.

“I’m feeling better now, and we absolutely cannot neglect Si Fuqing’s birthday,” declared Mu Qingmeng, coughing twice, then added. “Prepare the Shadow Sword as a gift to send.”

The Shadow Sword, was a legendary blade unintentionally acquired by a former head of the Thousand Army Alliance in the game “Eternity,” and had successfully been brought out into the real world.

After resting in the alliance for a decade, the sword had come under Mu Qingmeng’s control.

JIANG Shuihan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Lady, you’re going to infuriate the young master to death.”

The young master of the alliance had requested the Shadow Sword countless times, and now it was being given away.

“That rascal, what’s there to be angry about? He hasn’t visited me in so long,” Mu Qingmeng snorted dismissively. “Qingqing is much more considerate than he is.”

JIANG Shuihan went to make the arrangements.

On his way, he encountered Ji Qingyao, who was lost in thought. After considering for a moment, he stepped forward and called out to her, “Miss Ji.”

Ji Qingyao snapped back to reality, her body instinctively assuming a defensive posture.

Recognizing JIANG Shuihan, she greeted him with a fist salute. “Captain

JIANG.”

JIANG Shuihan smiled. “You’ve been distracted these past few days. Is something troubling you?”

Ji Qingyao pressed her lips together. “There’s something on my mind that I haven’t found a solution for.”

The charlatan she had encountered last time had not appeared again.

“Everything will work out once the time is there,” JIANG Shuihan said, not prying further. “I’m escorting the alliance head and his wife to An City in the Northern State. Miss Ji, if you’re free, why not come along and clear your head?”

Remembering that she had seen an offline birthday event for Si Fuqing in An City on the fan forum, Ji Qingyao thanked him again with a salute. “Thank you,

Captain JIANG. ”

“Good,” JIANG Shuihan nodded. “We leave this afternoon; you should rest until then. ”

After Ji Qingyao left, a team member behind JIANG Shuihan couldn’t resist speaking up, “Captain, the Ji family really… to throw Miss Ji into the Thousand Army Alliance as a young girl and barely visit even once a year.”

“People do as they do, but heaven sees,” JIANG Shuihan replied coolly. “There will be retribution.”

“Indeed.” The team member muttered, then suddenly asked, “Captain, can I switch shifts with Shang Lu?”

He also wanted to follow Si Fuqing.

JIANG Shuihan gave him a look and said unhurriedly, “You discuss it with him yourself.”

The team member sighed internally.

He was afraid Shang Lu might beat him to death.

Meanwhile, at the Ji household, preparations were underway for another birthday.

“Qingwei did very well on her exams; we must celebrate properly,” Old Master Ji expressed his satisfaction. “It just so happens that her birthday is the day after tomorrow. I’ll host and invite people from other families to join us, make it a lively event.”

A crowd would bring energy and also serve as a blessing for Ji Qingwei.

“No need for you to ask, Dad. I’ve already made arrangements, ” Ji Longtai laughed. “I just sent someone to the Thousand Army Alliance to invite Mr.

JIANG.”

As for the head of the alliance, he was elusive and hardly dared to be hoped for.

Just then, the butler returned from the Thousand Army Alliance, looking apologetic. “I’m sorry, old master, master. Mr. JIANG is on a business trip and won’t be free these days. I mentioned Miss Ji Qingyao’s name, but given her low rank, she doesn’t even know Mr. JIANG.”

“She’s really useless, staying in the Thousand Army Alliance for so long without connecting with any high-level members,” Ji Longtai frowned deeply. “It was a waste to send her there. If it were Qingwei, she wouldn’t be in such a poor position.”

“Let it be,” Old Master Ji waved dismissively. “It’s difficult to invite anyone from the four major alliances. Let’s visit another family first. The Lin family is close by; let’s start with them.”

Ji Longtai accompanied Old Master Ji to the Lin household.

But they were in for a disappointment.

“I’m sorry, Old Master Ji, your timing isn’t great,” the butler sighed. “The master and the young master flew out this morning; coincidentally, they also went to celebrate someone’s birthday.”

Old Master Ji was taken aback. “To An City in the Northern State? Who?”

Though An City was the capital city of the Northern State, its technological and economic development couldn’t compare to the south.

There were a few notable families there, but they were nothing like the powerful and wealthy families of Sijiu.

Who could be so important that both Lin Bojian and Lin Qingchen would make the trip personally?
