Chapter 453 – One D to Rule Them All
Not only Liu Bei was playing tricks to the alliance, but Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also experienced the setback of not having a strong enough economy and a proper chain of supplies from their homeland. They secretly withdrew their forces back to Jianye, refusing to attack Beihai this year.
Moreover, they feared the god-of-war, Lu Bu, whom Cao Cao mentioned that he had 8 wings.
Upon return, both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did nothing but cultivate, trying to get stronger before the next spring.
As for the domestic affair, they let Sun Fang and others take care of it. Moreover, they wanted Sun Fang to buy their men cultivation techniques, which angered the first son of Sun Jian.
'Bastards. You treated me like crap, and you want me to gain lifespans for the others? Do it yourself!'
Sun Fang also disregarded the internal affair and cultivated for himself.

At Jianye, the situation was the opposite of Liu Bei's Chang'An.
Sun Fang, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu completely disregarded the internal affair, leaving all jobs to Zhang Hong and Zhang Zhao.
The two Zhangs were not happy about this since their lords and the upstart strategist did not treat them fairly. Moreover, the recent mobilization was pointless as they did not even attack Beihai as planned.
As the two Zhangs cleaned up the messes that these young warlords made, they stumbled into a spy of Zhou Yu.
That spy revealed a piece of shocking information about their missing lady and the young lord, Sun Quan.
”Are you certain?” Asked Zhang Zhao.
”Y-Yes. Lady Wu and young master Sun are currently residing in Jiangxia. They're planning to move to Xiangyang to seek Lu Bu's protection, but they are being held hostages by Huang Zu.”
”And this Huang Zu is our mole?”
”Yes, sir.”
Zhang Zhao was interested in this development.
The two elder brothers were trying to fight Zhang Tong, but the 3rd son and their mother were attempting to switch sides. Moreover, all former Sun Jian's subordinates supported Wu Guotai's decision, while the young officers supported Sun Ce.
That was not all. It seemed that Sun Ce and Sun Fang wanted to kill each other, but none of them had made a move yet.
”Zigang, I think the Sun Clan will collapse if Sun Fang and Sun Ce continue to wage war against the emperor.”
Zhang Hong nodded, ”Agreed. This won't do. This is not something that we should get involved if they end up fighting for the clan head position, but I believe we already know which side we should join.”
”Ha! You don't say.”
A week later, the two Zhangs took their private army of 1,000 men along with their family and subordinates northwest, heading toward Jiangxia.

Jiangxia City
Sun Quan always woke up at night as he kept having nightmares. He often dreamed that he was born as a girl and was killed by Sun Fang and Li Jing.
They were the memory of Hua Shi's before her death!
However, those were nothing comparing to Sun Jian's memory. The death experience was useful to Sun Quan as well.
The part that always plagued and tormented his mind was that the girl in his dream slept with Tong!
It was not a pleasant experience for a straight man to sleep with another man! This was the nightmare that Sun Quan always opened his eyes whenever the memory dream reached this part.
Every time he woke up, he could see a semi-transparent square for a few seconds before it disappeared, which displayed something about his skill.
[Immortal Yang Vein]
It was the perverted skill that Hua Shi should have had, but Sun Quan had it instead.
”What's this [Infinite Yang Seed] and [Regeneration]?”
.
Meanwhile, the baby, Sun Shangxiang, often had a bad mood as she knew why her [Immortal Yang Vein] was missing.
A few days ago, in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping, Lilim came to Sun Shangxiang's side to apologize to her.
”I'm sowwy!!”
”DAH!!” (YOU FUCKING RETARDED GODDESS!! I WANT MY SKILL BACK!!)
”Give me a few years… Say, 16-17 years? I can't inject a system skill into your soul while your body has not matured yet. Can you wait until then?”
”DAH!!” (BY THAT TIME, I WOULD HAVE DIED A HUNDRED TIMES BY DISEASES OR INJURIES!! DO YOU KNOW THE FATALITY RATE OF CHILDREN IN THIS ERA!?)
”Ugh, don't worry. I'll keep healing you in secret. Don't be mad. Abu Abu?”
”DAH!!” (DON'T ABU-ABU ME, YOU DUMB BITCH!! I'M NOT A CHILD!!)
Due to the incident when Sun Jian's soul was about to be devoured by Hua Shi, Lilim yanked a part of Hua Shi's soul along with Sun Jian's soul, which caused one of her skills to be missing.
Because of Lilim's intervention, Hua Shi, aka Sun Shangxiang at the moment, kept cursing at the goddess whenever she woke up.
Had it been other circumstances, Lilim would have ignored Sun Shangxiang as her complaint was irrelevant. However, Tong's family was getting stronger, and they had the potential to surpass her strength.
Furthermore, Lilim had long noticed that Li Feihong was hiding his power. He already had 10 wings in his grasp, and he could get to 12 in no time!
Lilim could abuse the system to get rid of Tong and Li Feihong at any time, but she learned a lot from observing them. Instead of killing everyone or messing with their lives, she wanted to win their favor, so they could be her partners in the future when her netherworld was completed.
She started by trying to win Sun Shangxiang's favor, but it seemed to fail.
”Dah!” (You know what? I have an idea. Contact Tong for me and tell him that I reincarnated. I want to be with him again!)
”Then, will you forgive me? Can we be friends?”
”Meh!” (Fine. We can be cool if you can really take me to Tong's side.)
”Hehe! No problem!”
.

A day later
Ye City, the throne room
Without Xun Yu, Tong's slacking time was no more. He had to work for Xun Yu's parts and approved many documents from other divisions, which was his emperor's job.
Zhuge Liang replaced Xun Yu's duties. Unfortunately, he required time to learn about Tong's culture and government systems. At the moment, he attended one of Cai Yan's schools to learn about laws and the economy in Tong's affiliate cities.
While Tong was busy, a familiar John Cena's theme song echoed in his ears, stunned him.
