City's Best Divine Doctor-Chapter 1436 - 1435: Changes in the Death Key

After finishing New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, Luo Yang returned to the game company. Now, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming were all staying at the company.

They inherently liked playing games, always treating it as a hobby. Unexpectedly, it turned into a business venture. For Li Shen and the others, they could now dedicate more energy to it. As Ye Qiu drove to the company entrance, stopped the car, and went inside, he found everyone was busy.

These were newly hired employees, and some were part-time.

One could say that during the New Year period, the game company’s equipment trading was bustling every day. After all, the equipment obtained from playing games daily could be traded at the game company if deemed valuable.

According to the current statistics from Li Shen and the finance department, daily transactions ranged between four hundred to five hundred thousand.

Just this flow in the bank yields significant monthly interest. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

When they saw Ye Qiu coming over, Li Shen and Luo Yang only knew Ye Qiu had gone to France; they hadn’t expected him to return.

"Qiu, when did you get back?"

"Just returned, just now dropped the counselor off at her building."

Luo Yang knew Ye Qiu had some relations with the counselor. Unexpectedly, the two traveled to France together.

As Ye Qiu sat down, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming naturally seemed very happy and full of confidence. Now that the game company was doing well, their ideas were expanding.

Previously, they felt their academic performance was so poor that even their parents considered them as failures. Now, surely no one would dare say that.

"Qiu, game equipment trading is doing well now, and recharging is also good. We’re thinking of starting an auction house for game equipment to auction valuable preparations daily, attracting more interest than regular trading."

"You guys handle that; I won’t interfere."

This small business really wasn’t on Ye Qiu’s radar.

He was only there to prepare to head out for a meal with Li Shen and the others.

"Sit for a moment; let’s go out for a meal together."

Ye Qiu sat there and had a drink of water, suggesting they go out for a meal together.

Except for Ning Yun, everyone else was present.

Ye Qiu and the others went to a hot pot restaurant nearby. Originally, Ye Qiu thought they might drink a case of beer, but they ended up ordering only two or three bottles. Li Shen and the others dared not drink too much since they needed to test some game work later.

After ordering food, they sat here chatting and bullshitting, without much else to do.

Around seven in the evening, the meal ended, and Ye Qiu didn’t stay. He drove back to the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.

Upon returning to the villa entrance, he parked the car and found the gate locked; his parents and sister must’ve gone to the Imperial Cuisine Restaurant.

Thus, Ye Qiu could only open the door and go upstairs on his own.

He opened his computer, logged into the game with another account, played for a bit, then threw the equipment to the game company to see the effect, and logged off.

After showering, Ye Qiu prepared to cultivate.

Since returning to Jinling, he had moonlight, unlike the past half-month in France, which was either rainy or cloudy, preventing cultivation.

Back in Jinling, Ye Qiu definitely needed to cultivate quickly.

He took out the Holy Artifact, the fierce key, placed it directly on the table, stared at it for a while, found no changes, and put it back in the drawer.

At eleven at night, he heard knocking at the door.

Ye Weidong and his wife, along with Ye Xue, returned. Seeing the car Ye Qiu parked at the door, they knew he was back. Having not seen Ye Qiu for more than half a month, Chen Fang naturally missed her son.

At the door, knocking, Ye Qiu had to come out to open the door and saw Chen Fang asking: "Mom, what’s up?"

"Ye Qiu, when did you get back? Just fell asleep?"

"Got back in the afternoon, wasn’t asleep just now."

Ye Qiu replied.

"Half a month without seeing you, Mom missed you. Now seeing you’re unchanged, go to sleep then."

Chen Fang said.

"Mom, I’ll sleep then."

Ye Qiu closed the door and prepared to continue cultivating.

Of course, Ye Qiu knew the former Ye Qiu wasn’t Chen Fang’s biological son, and now he wasn’t either.

Previously, the person wasn’t; nor is the current soul consciousness. However, Ye Qiu had long accepted Ye Weidong and his wife’s affection.

Thus, upon seeing Chen Fang, he kinda missed the parents from the Heavenly Court Imperial Medical Bureau, wondering what they were like now?

Returning to his room, Ye Qiu originally wanted to continue cultivating but suddenly couldn’t focus.

Taking out the Holy Artifact fierce key from the drawer, he stared at it under the moonlight entering through the window. Initially, Ye Qiu found no change.

Gradually, he felt the Holy Artifact seemed to transform. The original Holy Artifact resembled a key-like object, but what metal crafted it couldn’t be determined. It could be colorless or black.

But now, the moonlight on the fierce key brought a blood-red hue.

The fierce key truly changed, especially under moonlight, turning red and then disappearing, reappearing red.

From his understanding, the fierce key opens the Gates of Hell, but where they are, Ye Qiu didn’t know.

On another note, the fierce key possesses magical power.

What is this magical power?

Ye Qiu wasn’t sure. Initially, he thought Louise believed in it, thinking the fierce key would be useful to her, but it wasn’t at all, whether Louise’s dark original force or her blood proved useless.

Unexpectedly, now the fierce key seemed to be transforming red.

Thinking of Louise, Ye Qiu hadn’t called her since returning.

"Louise, where are you?"

Ye Qiu asked.

Now it was still four or five in the afternoon over in Paris.

"Qiu, you’re back? Why so late?" Louise thought Ye Qiu had just returned.

"No, returned a few hours ago. Just discussing the fierce key’s changes; I placed it under moonlight, and it showed blood-red hues, literally blood-red."

"Blood-red?" Louise was really surprised.

Could the fierce key be absorbing moonlight?

Legend has it that all twelve blood clan holy artifacts absorbed thousands upon thousands of people’s blood. Thus, Ye Qiu seeing the fierce key exposed in blood-red probably meant it was true.
