Chapter 148, Three Women, One Drama_1
Muriel looked at Angelina beside Jiang Chen, then down at herself. Hmm, not as big as mine, just a bit taller and her legs are a little thinner. There's still a chance, right!
"Enough already, you two stop flaunting your love."
"What about us? Are we invisible to you?"
"Oh my, Jiang Chen, you're famous now! The individual champion of the Alliance tournament, a Hero who has slain 200,000 people, and you even killed the Demon King."
"What a powerful guy. What on earth is your Talent, to be so freakish?"
The four of them were full of amazed exclamations.
Especially Jiang Qiu, who looked at Jiang Chen with astonishment. Is this little brother of mine really so incredible? So terrifying, even more powerful than his big sister. I wouldn't even dare to take on the Demon King.
Alice raised her glass. "Let's toast together to celebrate Jiang Chen bringing glory to our Legion, upgrading it from a Level 0 Legion to a Level 1 Legion."
"Cheers!"
They all drained their cups in one go.
Jiang Chen asked, "Sister, what are your plans for the future?"
Jiang Chen's question left Jiang Qiu dumbfounded. "Of course, to keep upgrading my Level. What else?"
"Ever thought about becoming a Divine Envoy?"
The four of them were stunned. Can one just become a Divine Envoy that easily?
Alice laughed. "What, you're so high and mighty now that you can decide who becomes a Divine Envoy?"
"Jiang Chen, don't tell me you can now determine who gets to be a Divine Envoy?"
"Heavens, Jiang Chen, are you really that powerful?"
"Uhh... You're not like the boss of the world now, are you!" one of them thought.
They were thoroughly shocked; Jiang Chen's casual remark had left them completely dumbfounded.
Jiang Chen said, "I'm not deciding. Big sis, if you want to be a Divine Envoy, I can arrange it for you."
Jiang Qiu was stunned. "You'll arrange it? How?"
The others looked at Jiang Qiu with envy. Look at her brother! He can even decide who becomes a Divine Envoy!
Jiang Qiu shook her head. "Forget it, I'm not interested. And even if I were, what makes you so confident you can make me a Divine Envoy?" This kid must be drunk!
Jiang Chen smiled. "I know Long Zhantian from the Dragon Zone Union. If you're interested, I'll just say a word. Then I'll get you a few Demon King's heads to boost your credentials. With a bit of maneuvering, it'll be simple, right?"
The five of them were so surprised they were speechless.
Get a few Demon King's heads? What does he think Demon Kings are, cabbages? Kill them as he pleases?
That kind of talk... was simply off the charts.
Jiang Qiu rolled her eyes. "You think Demon Kings are that easy to kill?"
"Pretty simple. One sword stroke and it's done. If one stroke isn't enough, then two."
Damn... The group gave him a thumbs-up.
Alice looked at Jiang Qiu. "Actually, it's not a bad choice. Jiang Qiu has reached First-stage and qualifies to be a Divine Envoy. It's just that once you become one, there are fewer opportunities to go out and train since you're usually confined to the city."
"Forget it. I'm not interested in being a Divine Envoy," Jiang Qiu stated.
"Then, never mind."
Muriel exclaimed excitedly, "I want to be a Divine Envoy!"
The others looked at Muriel.
Jiang Chen coughed. "Well, there's a height requirement to become a Divine Envoy."
Muriel was taken aback.
"Haha... Muriel, don't even think about it," one of them teased. "You're too short; you don't qualify!"
"What would you do as a Divine Envoy? Make people bend down to talk to you?" another chimed in.
"Muriel, you have to admit it when you're short. If you stand your ground, you take the hits. Short and plump—have you ever seen a Divine Envoy who looks like you?" a third added, laughing.
Facing everyone's mockery, Muriel puffed up her cheeks in anger and glared fiercely at Jiang Chen. There's a height requirement to be a Divine Envoy? Why have I never heard of it? This Jiang Chen kid isn't spouting nonsense, is he?
I wonder if there's a type of Divine Envoy who only holds the title without any real duties, like an idle noble, just for show, Jiang Chen mused.
Alice asked, "Jiang Chen, what are your plans next?"
"Continue to upgrade my Level. Get to First-stage first, and then we'll see."
"Mm, I believe you'll reach First-stage very soon," Alice said.
Jiang Chen then asked, "What about the Dark Legion? No plans to expand? Will it just be the few of us?"
Alice nodded. "I don't desire power. Just the few of us is enough. If one day we truly feel tired, we might rely on you. And if you want, I'll give you the position of Legion Commander and let you pursue your path of power."
Jiang Chen thought for a moment. "We'll talk about it later!"
"Junior brother, I'm your sister's good friend. If there are any benefits, you can't forget about us, okay?" one of the women said playfully.
"That's right! We're like sisters. You have to take care of us in the future," another added.
Jiang Qiu said, displeased, "Alright, that's enough from you all! Stop trying to take advantage of my brother."
The others protested.
"What are you talking about? Your brother is our brother too, right?"
"Exactly! What's wrong with our brother looking after us? I think you're just jealous."
"You're too petty, afraid we'll steal your brother away!"
Jiang Qiu sighed helplessly.
Indeed, three women make a drama, and with this many, one drama isn't enough, Jiang Chen thought. He knew they were just joking; they had been together for two years and were as close as sisters.
Alice said, "Can you three stop it, please?"
Caroline laughed. "How about the five of us never part ways? In the future, if we find a man, we'll find just one. How about the five of us women serving one man?"
"Wrong! It's not five of us serving one man, but one man serving five of us," Xueli corrected.
"A five-way? Could any man handle that?!"
"What if he's very energetic!" one giggled.
"That's negotiable," another mused.
I don't know if that man could handle it, but I certainly can't handle this conversation anymore! Jiang Chen thought. He hurriedly finished his meal, wanting to leave quickly. Who knows what other crazy things these women will say!
The women all turned their gazes to Jiang Chen.
This proposal seems workable, Alice thought.
Mmm, this guy's just about right, very handsome... Caroline mused.
Better to keep the benefits within our sisterhood. This man is strong and handsome... Xueli considered.
Muriel plotted, a glint in her eyes. I must get my hands on this 'little brother' and drain him dry! I'll let him know what a Vampire truly is...
Jiang Chen coughed. "Eat, eat! After we finish, I need to continue upgrading my Level."
One is already overwhelming, and now they're talking about four? To hell with that! Jiang Chen thought.
...
Jiang Chen left with Angelina, heading back to Shenlong Academy.
Alice looked at Jiang Qiu and said, "Actually, Jiang Chen is worried you'll encounter danger. Becoming a Divine Envoy greatly reduces the risks and comes with privileges. It's really a good choice."
"How can that be? I still want to upgrade my Level. And even if I become a Divine Envoy, so what? I'll still have to slay monsters, and if I die at their hands, I won't come back to life."
"Jiang Qiu's right," another agreed. "Although being a Divine Envoy is glorious and prestigious, it's not all that great. It's basically a job for retirement. It's more satisfying to go out and slay monsters."
"Exactly!" a third chimed in. "That kid Jiang Chen doesn't understand what we want at all, still thinking of finding a safe fallback for us!"
Jiang Qiu said with a look of contentment, "But my brother has really grown up!"
"Grown up in what way?" one of the women teased, a suggestive glint in her eye.
Jiang Qiu was instantly speechless. We were having a normal conversation! How did it get so twisted... You crazy women, that's enough! Don't even think about preying on my brother!
...
Just as Jiang Chen was about to go out to train, he received a call from Long Zhantian, asking him to visit the God's Envoy Alliance tower.
Could something be wrong? Jiang Chen wondered.
Inside the conference room, Jiang Chen met Long Zhantian.
Long Zhantian's expression was grave. "Jiang Chen, tell me, are you one of The Fallen?"
Jiang Chen asked, puzzled, "The Fallen?"
"Yes."
"I'm not."
"A Divine Envoy has reported you, claiming you're one of The Fallen. The higher-ups have already sent someone to investigate. If you are, you should leave now, while you still can."
Jiang Chen smiled. "Is the Chuanteng Clan behind this?"
"You've guessed correctly. Come with me. You need to meet the Third-stage Divine Envoy. He's here specifically to verify if you're one of The Fallen."
