SSS rank Mother-In-Law to an Invincible Family - Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Xu Qianghua meets the Demon Slayers 2
The room quieted as Shen and his team took in Xu Qianghua’s proposal. His words held weight, and it was clear this was a serious offer.

(A/N: For Shen and his group, Xu Qianghua is an unknown man, but we know who he is, so I just put his name; it does not mean the six people know who he is.)

However, he did not want to jump straight in without his team’s consent, so Shen looked at each of his team members. All he saw was a strong confidence either directed at him or the proposal.

He is not sure, but he does not see anyone disagreeing, so he nods, turning back to Xu Qianghua. “We’re in.”

A faint, approving smile crossed Xu Qianghua’s face. “Good. I expected as much.”

He looked over the group one last time. “This partnership comes with one condition—keep it to yourselves. I want to see how each of you handles things on your own.”

He straightened, letting his words hang in the air. “This isn’t going to be easy, but you’ve been given strength for a reason. Use it well.”

With that, he walked out, leaving the room in silence as the six people were lost in their own thoughts as they accepted that now they were working for someone that they did not know about.

But this did not last long as they were used to much tougher situations. Just as they began to unwind, Mei Ling noticed something on Xu Qianghua’s seat.

She squinted, her gaze sharpening as she approached the chair. “Look at this,” she said, pointing to a small, dark token lying on the spot.

Shen stepped forward and picked it up, holding it carefully in his hand. The token was smooth and cold to the touch, dark as obsidian, with an emblem carved intricately onto it.

He had never seen anything like it, but there was an unmistakable power within, almost as if it pulsed with a quiet energy of its own.

As Shen held the token, a voice echoed in his mind, calm and steady—the voice of Xu Qianghua, who had just left. “This token is a link between us.

If you’re ever in a true life-and-death situation, you can use this token to request help once every ten years. Otherwise, I’ll use it to contact you when needed. Keep it close.”

As the message ended, Shen, who had been holding the token, suddenly felt a trace of his soul being sucked into the token.

As it did, Shen could feel the token and summon it into his hands with a single thought, which is something that he will need, whoever he is in danger.

“What is it?” Mei Ling asked, noticing the look on his face.

“It’s more than just a token,” Shen replied, his tone thoughtful. “He said it’s a way to contact him. If we ever find ourselves in serious trouble, it will summon help once every ten years. Other than that, he’ll use it to get in touch with us when necessary.”

Mei Ling took a step closer, her eyes narrowing as she studied the token. “He’s thought this through. He clearly doesn’t take chances.”

One of the other members, a shorter man with a scarred face, chuckled dryly. “Sounds like he wants to keep a close eye on us.”

“Or he just knows what we’re up against,” Shen replied, slipping the token into his storage ring.

But deep in his mind, he knew that this token reminded him that there were stronger people above them, which calmed his mind.

Before Xu Qianghua’s ‘visit,’ he always thought that the highest cultivation realm that the top families commanded was Nascent Soul.

Still, from the unknown man, he felt an even more powerful strength.

But for some reason, he did not feel resentful about this; instead, he felt a sense of relief.

This is because, since they arrived, they have been given the sole responsibility of dealing with the evil cultivators in the Eastern Continent.

Although this was a good opportunity to grow and expand their power, he did not want that.

Far from it, he just wanted to live a peaceful life and enjoy himself, which he was not able to do before.

But now, with Xu Qianghua’s proposal, although he still has to lead a large amount of people, he will not have to look out for the continent and maybe even the planet as he had first thought.

As there are people who are doing this already so, why butt in and get more work than they need.

The team then found some chairs to sit on, each trying to come to terms with their new responsibilities.

“We’ve faced demons, creatures of all kinds. We’re not new to danger. But this world… these evil cultivators are more organized than we’re used to. They don’t just hide; they have mixed themselves in society, pulling strings in the dark without anyone noticing.

And this is not something we faced in our world as the demons in our world had slowly become mindless beings who only knew how to kill; compared to them, these evil cultivators are much harder to deal with.” He paused, his gaze sweeping over each member of his team.

“This man, whoever he is, didn’t give us this offer for nothing, and we need to use it to our advantage to progress and live a happy life in this world.

But think about this from a positive perspective: with the unknown man’s intervention, we do not have to do much to encourage other forces to unite.

Instead, we will be just like those forces and wait until we are needed, which means a semi-vacation where we don’thave much to do.”

Hearing this, everyone else in the room nodded. They all smiled with anticipation and started fantasizing about what they would do in their free time.

Meanwhile, Xu Qianghua, who was hiding in the room, saw all of this and could not help but think, ‘Looks like I need to give them more work.’
