My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2059 - 2027: Catherine’s Unease

Aunt Wang is considered an expert; although due to her age, she’s no longer suitable for martial arts practice. However, over the years, thanks to the changes in heaven and earth, coupled with the help from the Nether King Group, she’s managed to reach the Profound Level.

Of course, going any further is unlikely.

It’s precisely because of her Profound Level cultivation that Aunt Wang has remained spirited; even though she’s nearly seventy, she looks like she’s just in her forties or fifties, without any signs of aging.

In Li Chen’s eyes, given Aunt Wang’s current physical condition, living another forty or fifty years shouldn’t be a problem.

For ordinary people, birth, aging, illness, and death are commonplace.

Only by reaching the Earth Level does one truly step into the domain of longevity. Although the Yellow Rank and Profound Level may grant a slightly longer life compared to ordinary people, the difference isn’t substantial.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Chen and Aunt Wang talked for a long time about past events and happenings after Li Chen left.

To Li Chen, Aunt Wang is indeed a genuinely close person.

"By the way, my son-in-law, I have a granddaughter who wants to practice martial arts. But since coming to Linchuan, I’m not at ease with her living alone outside, so I want to bring her here. I’m not sure..." Aunt Wang said.

"Just bring her here." Li Chen nodded with a smile: "This is my home after all. With all of us gone, it’s just an empty place. Having someone stay would bring some life to it. It’s better than a desolate empty house."

"I moved back because I saw that you all left and was worried about the house being untended and uncleaned," Aunt Wang nodded, expressing her special affection for this villa.

Compared to when she was with the Lin Family, Aunt Wang preferred staying here.

Moreover, many things here are looked after by the Nether King Group. It’s due to these conveniences that Aunt Wang wishes to bring her granddaughter here.

"These matters, Aunt Wang, you handle them yourself," Li Chen said with a smile.

"By the way, my son-in-law, how long do you plan to stay this time? The young ladies..."

Hearing this question, the smile on Li Chen’s face slightly faded: "I don’t know either."

"However, no matter what, I’ll see them as soon as possible, and if conditions allow, I’ll bring everyone along," Li Chen said. "Though things over there are complicated, that place suits martial artists better. Of course, if anyone wants to stay behind, I won’t force them."

"This is something only you can achieve... Will the young ladies come back?"

"Yes, they will." Li Chen smiled and nodded: "They will definitely come back to visit."

As Li Chen spoke, he suddenly turned his head slightly and looked into the distance.

At the same time, near Oblivion Cliffs, several individuals of unique status lifted their heads, gazing at the sky.

"It’s coming!"

"All units, prepare to use True Qi to form a buffer layer to reduce the impact force of the meteorite, minimizing damage!"

"Ensure there are no unrelated personnel nearby!"

"The meteorite is coming, engage!"

"Buzz~~"

A meteorite trailing a long tail of flames streaked across the sky, swiftly descending from above.

Below, beside the Oblivion Cliffs, martial artists quickly unleashed True Qi in a special formation, which spread out, forming layers of nets that shielded the Oblivion Cliffs from below.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

The meteorite fell, instantly shredding the layers of True Qi nets into pieces, tearing through more than a dozen nets in quick succession, and hurtling toward the abyss beneath the Oblivion Cliffs.

"Successful, the meteorite’s impact has been reduced by half. Based on the current situation, even if the meteorite falls, it will likely just create a large crater below the Oblivion Cliffs without damaging the peaks or affecting ordinary people!"

"Good!" Hearing the report, Catherine sighed in relief, and immediately contacted Li Weisi and Anna: "Deploy your people to check the bottom of Oblivion Cliffs to see exactly what it is. I’ll send people to assist you."

"Yes!" Li Weisi and Anna responded in unison.

Closing communication with Li Weisi and Anna, Catherine sent another request to another person.

Shortly, a man with a peculiar appearance, somewhat like a capuchin, appeared on screen.

"Oh, it’s the president!" The strange man smiled upon seeing Catherine.

"As head of the backup division, you’re fully responsible for the logistics of this operation," Catherine replied nonchalantly, ignoring the man’s words. "The identity, state, and origin of this occurrence are unclear, so be cautious. Those are quality people under Li Weisi and Anna; if anything happens, you’ll be accountable."

"Don’t worry!" The man patted his chest and said: "This time, there won’t be any more problems!"

Just then, a light chuckle came from beside the man: "Old Fan, you’re planting flags again. I’ve read your fortune, and you’re not fit to raise flags recently."

"I say, Brother Fan is like the old general on stage, with flags all over his back," another person laughed.

"Get out of here, all of you," Fan Bayin impatiently shooed his companions aside.

He indeed didn’t say anything further; his luck has been rather poor lately.

"Xiao Lang, Yuchi Guang, you’re here too." Catherine smiled upon seeing them.

"Greetings, President." The two men nodded respectfully at Catherine: "Sect Leader senior brother sent us over, we’re here to assist if needed."

"Thanks a lot." Catherine nodded: "Remember to give my regards to Sect Leader Zhao."

"We will."

Catherine pondered: "Since that’s the case, I’ll entrust the logistics of this operation to you. If anything seems wrong, feel free to withdraw first before discussing strategy."

"Understood."

Shutting down communications, Catherine closed her eyes slightly.

Behind Catherine, Heishou stood silently, not saying a word.

Heishou is generally a silent person, but his capability is unquestionable. Over the years, he’s become a pillar within the Nether King Group.

"Elder sister, is there anything amiss?" After a moment’s silence, Heishou couldn’t help but ask.

"I don’t know why, but I feel uneasy," Catherine frowned slightly. "Please notify Alice to make preparations, just in case."

"Yes." Heishou replied and turned to leave.

Watching Heishou leave, Catherine found herself alone in the office once more. After a while, she sighed softly: "I hope nothing will happen."
