My substitute female CEO

Snowy world.

Everything seemed frozen.

But before Ben's eyes, it was pitch black.

He collapsed on the way to the summit.

In a trance, he had a dream.

In the dream, the family was having fun, the mother was cooking dinner, and the plump turkey was sizzling in the oven.

Ben and Angela sat by the fire, pestering their father to tell him stories.

The father smiled fondly, and then told the ancient legend.

"A long time ago, the evil dragon harmed the world and the people were in dire straits. The king sacrificed his life in exchange for the blessings of the gods. The knights brought enchanted swords to defeat the evil dragon. Then, the knights couldn't bear the king's departure, so they prayed for the resurrection of the gods. The king and the gods were moved by the courage and determination of the knights and resurrected the king. After that, the king led the people to rebuild their homes, and people lived happily like this for hundreds of years... until..."

"elder brother!"

The father's words were interrupted.

Ben, who was still a child, looked at the sister in front of him hesitantly.

"What's wrong? Angela."

"Wake up!"

"what?"

In an instant, the two of them transformed back into adults.

"Wake up! Please! Brother!"

"what are you saying?"

"Brother! Wake up! You can't fall asleep yet! Wake up!"

......

Ben's eyes shot open.

Looking around, he discovered that he had actually come to a cave.

There was an old man sitting in front of him.

"Oh? I thought I was dead."

After that, the old man lit a bonfire.

"You... who are you?"

"Me?" The old man smiled strangely.

"Hahahahaha, God has eyes, God has eyes."

Ben got up cautiously. This old man didn't look like a good person.

The old man dodged and came behind Ben, and then hurriedly bit into Ben.

Although Ben was not a monk, his rich combat experience made him subconsciously duck forward, just in time to avoid the old man's bite on his neck.

Ben looked at the scrawny old man in front of him in disbelief. He was moving so fast that he couldn't even see clearly.

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

Ben hurriedly called to the old man.

"You... what are you going to do?"

"Hahaha, there's no need to ask!" The old man smiled crazily, "It's been decades and finally something decent comes. Old man, I've been hungry for a long time, of course I am!"

Then, the old man opened his mouth and bit Ben again.

Ben subconsciously raised his arms to block him, but unexpectedly, he played into the old man's hands.

Only then did Ben realize the seriousness of the problem, and then subconsciously took out the dagger from his waist.

The old man couldn't dodge and hit the dagger directly. His throat was pierced and he fell to the ground twitching.

At this time, Ben realized that something was wrong with the old man, because if it was a penetrating injury, the person would not be still twitching and struggling so much. Somehow, Ben had the courage to walk towards the old man, wanting to see the old man's condition.

Unexpectedly, the old man took advantage of Ben not paying attention and bit him with a sudden bite.

......

"Tear, ha, tear, ha."

In the back garden of Qijia Villa, Tianxiong fell weakly to the ground.

It is said to be a back garden, but in fact the land with a radius of hundreds of miles is the property of the Qi family. The Qi family bought this original ecological forest garden specifically for their youngest son, so that Qi Lin can practice in peace.

"Awesome, Xiao Qi, you're growing so fast."

Qi Lin walked slowly to Qian Kun and pulled him up.

"How are you? Are you injured?"

"It's okay, but if you want to explore more things with your current abilities, it will be somewhat difficult."

"Yes." Qi Lin sighed and looked at the pendant in his hand with a troubled expression. "That's all I can learn. But I have done the best I can. How can I do it?" ..."

The Qi family attaches great importance to the concepts of continuity and justice. Apart from what Qi Lin's original master taught him, he is not allowed to learn the "evil ways" described by other parents. It is true that one can achieve certain results by practicing a single ability to the extreme, but it is limited. In this kind of knowledge, if you are accustomed to this single rhythm, it will be difficult to make breakthroughs above it.

"It's because of my incompetence that I can't inspire you any more. I'm sorry." Qian Kun lowered his head in disappointment.

"Brother Kun, do you know any particularly powerful characters?" Qi Lin asked abruptly.

"This...I am surrounded by almost everyone with similar strength to me, and the Gang Zhenzhong are also similar. You..."

"Death Star."

Qi Lin suddenly said.

In fact, Qi Lin has been particularly interested in Wan Zhou since the last time. After knowing his identity, he especially wanted to fight him again.

"You're talking about him, let's forget it."

Qian Kun waved his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Qian Kun stood up and rubbed his shoulders.

"Do you know why we want to join the Gangzhen Sect?"

"In order to solve the incident of the arrival of the gods." Qi Lin said affirmatively.

"No, I, or many people in the Gangzhen Sect, didn't know that there was an event about the awakening of the gods at the beginning, let alone that they worked hard for this event."

Qian Kun continued.

"Most of us joined the Gang Zhen Sect out of selfish motives."

"Selfish? But this in itself won't do you any good, and you may lose your life at any time." Qi Lin held his chin in his hands and turned his eyes back and forth several times, then he seemed to suddenly realize, "Oh, so..."

"You understand." Qian Kun sighed helplessly. "All of us have made a 'deal' with Tiankui. He will meet a series of our moral requirements, and we will become his subordinates." , working for him, but this guy cheated us. He said that when the incident is completely over, we can enjoy the glory and wealth, but we didn’t know the incident he mentioned in advance, and it is very likely that we will lose our lives, but, there is no way The deal has been started, and we must abide by it, and currently, the Heavenly Killing Star is one of the guarantees Tiankui has made to us recently. As long as we team up with him, we can satisfy ourselves about the help in cultivation."

"That guy is really exaggerating." Qi Lin sighed.

"But..." Qian Kun changed the subject at this time, "Judging from the reactions of other members, the methods of the Heavenly Killing Star are extremely cruel. It's okay to break through, but if there is no breakthrough, it will be injured and cultivated at least, and the soul weapon will be used at worst. Although the Heavenly Slaughter Star seems to have a way to remedy it, it will still take a while to recover. The conference is imminent because it is not worth the risk, Xiao Qi."

Seeing Qian Kun's determination, Qi Lin could only agree openly.

......

"Brother Nan, we are here."

Master Tianshang and Chen Nan arrived at the top of the snow mountain.

Chen Nan looked at the snow-covered sky below and couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Is what the leader of the Haotian Sect said reliable? He actually wants to come to a place like this to absorb power."
