Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Zhou Lin was unhappy, and her fiancé Meng Lan could only pat her hand to comfort her.

Zhou Lin irritably pulled her hand away, looking at Meng Lan with disgust. She disliked the marriage her father had arranged for her, insisting that she marry this adopted son. Now, there was something even more troubling, and Zhou Lin was starting to hate her father, Zhou Mian.

Meng Lan sensed Zhou Lin's disdain, and his gaze darkened.

Before Zhou Qiqi arrived, Zhou Lin was the youngest girl. Naturally, she was the apple of everyone's eye, cared for and protected by her older brothers and sisters. Not only was she spoiled rotten, but she also wasn't very good at thinking things through.

Sister-in-law Zhi Yanyan thought for a moment and then suddenly spoke up: "By the way, Qiqi, I remember that Zhi Xiuwen and you are classmates, right? He is my cousin. He wanted to come and visit you this weekend. I thought young people should interact more, but he was too shy to ask. I wanted to ask him first if you were free?"

Although Zhi Yanyan is Zhi Xiuwen's cousin, she is from a collateral branch of the family, not a direct descendant. Her current arrangement to arrange a meeting between Zhi Xiuwen and Zhou Qiqi has actually received the tacit approval of her father-in-law, Zhou Mian, and her husband, Zhou Ruijin.

Tomorrow is Saturday.

Zhou Qiqi was free for the two days over the weekend.

Grandpa Zhou chuckled and said, "Young people should interact. I remember that boy is quite handsome. Let him come to our house to play."

Zhou Mian nodded in agreement: "They are about the same age, and young people should visit each other and chat more often."

The Zhou family is indeed at the height of its power right now.

We have a high-level warrior.

However, these resources are still insufficient to solidify the family's power.

The significance of a Red-Rank Singer is paramount. Relying solely on the relatively underdeveloped high-ranking warriors at home is insufficient to fend off trouble from all sides.

We must find allies!

The Zhou family's possession of a Red-Rank Singer is only temporary. To preserve their glory and go further, a powerful alliance is inevitable.

The original four major families were: the Qin family, the Shen family, the Zhi family, and the Qiao family.

The number of high-ranking warriors they possess are: 5, 3, 2, and 1.

The Qiao family, already in its twilight years, is not being considered. The Qin and Shen families are too powerful; forming an alliance with them could easily lead to the Zhou family being swallowed up.

The Zhi family, with only two high-ranking warriors, is the most suitable.

Once Zhou Qiyuan fully enters the advanced stage, that will be the time for the Zhou family to annex the Zhi family!

Zhou Jinrui glanced at his wife, Zhi Yanyan, and advised Zhou Qiqi, "I've met the young man from the Zhi family. You two should be able to become good friends. Besides, he's your sister-in-law's cousin, so he's our relative. You don't need to worry about being bullied."

Seeing that everyone else was trying their best to bring them together, Zhou Qiyuan looked at Zhou Qiqi and asked, "What do you think? Should we invite Zhi Xiuwen to our house as a guest?"

Zhou Qiqi said indifferently, "Okay."

Agreeing to let someone come visit her doesn't mean she'll actually date them. In any case, everyone will have to be mindful of her feelings.

Zhou Lin ate her meal in a huff.

Seeing everyone's concern and care for Zhou Qiqi.

Zhou Lin became increasingly angry as she thought about it.

She couldn't understand why everyone had stopped doting on her, and she resented Zhou Qiqi for stealing the glory that should have been hers. Now she even wanted to arrange a marriage between Zhou Qiqi and a real young master from another family!

She is clearly the head of the family's daughter.

Her fiancé was actually an adopted son...

Driven by jealousy, Zhou Lin even disliked Meng Lan, who was right beside her.

The family dinner ended in the evening.

Zhou Lin simply left Meng Lan behind without saying a word and quickly returned to her room.

Meng Lan went to knock on the door.

"Get lost! Don't bother me!"

Such a roar came from the room.

Immediately following was a not-so-loud curse.

"Why should she have such a good choice? For me, it's just... having a servant as my fiancé..."

Meng Lan's eyes darkened.

Meng Lan, a mid-level warrior, has excellent hearing and eyesight.

He heard Zhou Lin calling his family servants.

Meng Lan was very grateful for Zhou Mian's adoption, and he was willing to follow the adults' arrangements regarding his marriage to Zhou Lin, as a way of repaying the Zhou family for their kindness in raising him.

He knew he had gained a lot from the Zhou family: a life, a job, and a comfortable life that outsiders could only envy. The only thing he had lost was his freedom.

Meng Lan chuckled self-deprecatingly, then turned and left the corridor.

Fourth Miss Zhou Lin continued her tantrum in her room. This persistent anger reached its peak the next day when she saw several outstanding young men from the Zhi family come to visit.

"Why are they all here!?"

When Zhou Lin celebrated her coming-of-age birthday last year, none of the young masters from this large family came to visit.

Now, he's actually showing up just to see Zhou Qiqi!

Upon seeing the row of handsome men standing there, Zhou Lin pushed aside Meng Lan, who was guarding her, and ran down to greet them.

Zhou Lin's expression changed from anger to excitement: "They've all come!"

Meng Lan's expression turned ashen the moment he was pushed away.

"Wow, the boys from the Zhi family arrived in such a neat and orderly fashion." Zhou Qiqi's languid voice came from behind.

Meng Lan turned around, forcing a smile as she greeted, "Good morning, Fifth Sister."

Zhou Qiqi slowly walked down the stairs and said to the adopted son of the Zhou family, "Good morning, second brother. They came over so early in the morning, could they be here to freeload breakfast?"

Her eyes swept over the young men downstairs. They were handsome, but the men's impure motives made her lose interest.

"Qiqi, good morning." Uncle Zhou Mian came up from behind and said to Zhou Qiqi, "Our little fifth brother is in good spirits today. Let them have a free breakfast. It'll be a good test of our chef's skills."

"Hello, uncle."

Good morning, Uncle.

Zhou Qiqi thought the uncle was quite eloquent, so she stopped deliberately causing trouble and mocking the teenagers downstairs.
