《There Will Always Be Protagonists With Delusions of Starting a Harem》


 Chapter 1

    Overbearing brother-inw fell in love with me


    _________________


    Ye Zhizhou was quickly dying, and then his life returned once again, but this life happened to be in someone else''s appearance.


    There was an unfamiliar face printed on the car window, very white and very fat. The fat made him unable to see the facial features clearly. He looked down and cautiously watched the "antique" cell phone in his hand. His eyes filled with excessive shock followed by numbness.


    Before he went out this morning, he exactly check the calendar in the news device. Today was Saturday, the second Saturday of November 3226. But now the calendar on this phone inform him that today is in the middle of November 2020.


    The car drove steadily. Cool and refreshing autumn wind blew from the window, bringing a hint of early winter cold air. He leaned on the chair and closed his eyes, slowly arranging his chaos thought.


    He remembered he was involved in a car ident. Two cars crashed and he''s in one that directly knocked into a concave shape. The driver died on the spot. As for Ye Zhizhou, the sagged deformed car pressed his body tightly at the back seat. His upper body has wounds all over from the ss fragment. Besides the natural fracture caused by car crash, his internal organs also terribly injured. It''s a miracle he''s not die immediately.


    He realize there was a strange voice inside his mind saying a few words, asking him whether he want to live or not, and he said his wish. Suddenly he fainted then woke up again seeing the year 3226 became year 2020. His handsome confident figure turned into an obesed fat boy.


    If he knew about this earlier¡­¡­ He won''t left home this morning! He''ll just use this holiday to sleep. To suddenly have a family reunion, just ask the one who want to go to go!


    {T/N: MC is an orphan. I guess he got or found his family?}


    "Young master, young master, wake up. We''re at home."


    The driver''s voice at the front seat called back his mind, and there''s soft pat on his shoulder. Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes, his face showed a confused and barely awake looks. He sluggishly got up ¡ª¡ª so bothersome, this fat body is very hard to use.


    "Young master, the Master had a matter to attend and may return a bitte today. He told me to inform you not to wait him to have dinner." The driver with simple and honest looks smile and hand over a schoolbag from the front passenger seat to him.


    He took the bag while casually nodded, clumsily move his fat body from this "antique" car and walked toward the nearby vi door. The significant different of body weight made him almost fell. After staggering a few steps, he stabilized his bnce with much difficulty. Then he held the edge of flower bed and sat down. He took out a pinkpact mirror from the bag ¡ª¡ª his intuition told him that this thing could exin all those weird things he experienced.


    As if responding to him, the pinkpact mirror shone brightly and automatically open. A screen immediately popped up in front of him, there''s also a ck text appear on it, [Greeting Host, I am World Saving System 01, you can call me Heaven anytime.]


    {T/N: system called ''Tong Tian'' and google tranted it to ''Heaven''. I don''t know the real meaning}


    Ye Zhizhou almost choke on his saliva, hastily hold his throat and frown at the mirror, he asked, "World Saving System 01? Heaven? Are you the one who talk in my mind after the car crashed? What did you do? What about my body? Am I dead? How did I end up here? And what''s with this appearance?"


    The system had spent a lot of energy to transform the host''s soul just now, so it stops a little before answering. The screen remain stagnant then restarting after a moment, lines of text appeared, [Yes, I was the one talking. System already log in with the Host ording to system database toplete world saving mission. The body is temporarily being kept by the system. Very safe. Not dead. Here is the World Mission 01. In order to facilitate the mission, Host can use a character''s body that relevant to the mission.]


    Quickly digesting the information, he urately grasps the most crucial point, "You mean, after Ipleted your world saving mission, I can return to my own world? Nock of arm or loss leg, but return as a whole me?"


    [Yes.]


    His heart became more rx. Things already came to this, it''s good he still able to return alive. As for this world saving mission, he''ll just do what he can do, whether he canplete it or not, that''s forter.


    Had to act as this goblin child till he grow up, Ye Zhizhou quickly epts this reality given to him by Heavens ¡­¡­ Even if he doesn''t ept, there''s nothing he could do anyway. He now has turned like this.


    Finally understood the most crucial thing, he then paid attention to another aspect. He flip the pink roundpact mirror in his hand to examine. After a moment of silent, "What kind of system are you? How could you be a mirror? By the way, with screen this big, are you not afraid if others see?"


    [It was originally a mirror and then the system logged in. The screen can only be seen by the host. In addition, the host and system can exchange thoughts directly.]


    This could be considered very intimate.


    He looked around for the unfamiliar surroundings and his own white fat hand. Tapping the small mirror, he said, "Well, give me the information data. The earlier weplete this mission, the earlier we can return safely."


    The screen shed and released a long lines of paragraph. He quickly looked up and focused his mind.


    An hourter, finishing the data provided by system, the corner of Ye Zhizhou mouth twitched up. World Saving System, a high-end elegant ssy name like that, to have this kind of way of world saving¡­¡­


    [Preventing the protagonist harem is the way to save the world.]


    The screen finally showed a line of summary, and then disappeared after a sh.


    That mirror is still the samepact mirror, but Ye Zhizhou''s opinion about it isn''t the same anymore.


    This world is simr with the 21st century of ancient earth. There aren''t many war. The environment is neither good nor bad. Science and technology are rapidly developing. People live in peace and work happily. Everything seems to be very beautiful.


    However, there will always be a protagonist who unaware of world destruction.


    This world''s protagonist is called Bai Li, a daughter of reputable aristocrat Bai family. She grew up receiving thousands of love from her parents and lived abroad all year. With gentle soft personality and bright beautiful looks, she is a goddess loved by many people. She has a childhood sweetheart and fianc¨¦, Yang Wei, who was extremely good to her. They both agree to wait until they are 24 years old to set up their own small family.


    However people can only hope. Bai Li is 23 years old this year. On her first trip returning home, she was involved in car ident and lost her memory. The one who save her is the new master of Yun family, Yun Ke.


    Because of the injury, Bai Li couldn''t remember anything and didn''t know where to go. Yun Ke took pity on her. Seeing her knowledge about flowers and nts are quite a lot, he took her home and let her manage the family garden. Just like a clich¨¦ romance story, Yun Ke gradually attracted by her gentle, soft and pure nature. Bai Li also moved by the mature and considerate Yun Ke. Both of their feelings gradually came to heaven, with only onestyer of window paper left to pierce.


    However, unexpected things always happened. The adopted son* of Yun family thinks that after Bai Li became the woman of the house, she definitely will drive him out, so he''s nning to secretly kill Bai Li, preventing her to be with Yun Ke. He nned a car ident, but with a slight error, Yun Ke on a whim decided toe with Bai Li. In a critical moment, Bai Li bravely pushed Yun Ke away and make herself seriously injured.


    {*an orphan from Yun family''s friend that adopted by Yun family}


    Yun Ke is furious. After finding the truth, he drove the adopted son out of Yun family''s house and secretly began to suppress him for the out of breath woman.


    A monthter, the protagonist injury became better. Because of this unfortunate event, she also regained her memory back. She remembered her far away fianc¨¦. After her faraway fianc¨¦ received the news, he hurriedly rush over. They both crying on each other shoulder in the hospital.


    Yun Ke is in extreme pain. The pain need to be vent of, and then the adopted son once again went down the mold, directly lead him to his dead. Later, the protagonist knew and felt guilty about this, but she also moved by Yun Ke''s feeling towards her. Since then, her tangled wavering journey between those two men began.


    In order topete for the protagonist, the two men began all kinds ofpetition and both of them suffer at the end with no winner. The protagonist feels very sad, thinking herself as femme fatale, shemitted suicide. Of course, she''s not dead, but both men really frightened. At the protagonist hospital bed, they guarantee to stop the war and willingly take care of the protagonist together. The protagonist was very touched and atst the three people are lived happily together.


    This development here only involved those three people, but after 30 years everything is all different.


    Thirty yearster the protagonist died. During those years, she gave birth to four children, two from each male lead, very impartial. After the protagonist''s burial, the peaceful coexistence between the two men rapidly fell out. They began to fight their life''s battle. The battle goes on to the next generation. Then the next generation and the next generation, their fight be more violent with every generation. From one generation to another, they fight fiercely. Finally, one hundred year after protagonist death, her future descendants hold the world destruction.


    ¡­¡­this kind of way of world destruction is truly hard to say.


    What even more hard to say is the fact that right now he''s using this obese body named Du Yang. His identity is ¡­¡­ the adopted son of Yun family.


    Have to act as the biggest cannon fodder in this love triangle story, now Ye Zhizhou really want to sigh. He opened thepact mirror aka the system, using the mirror to carefully look at his current body.


    Very white, this is his first impression. Then fat, very fat, fat all over his body from top to bottom. His eyes can still see the rough outline. Ye Zhizhou couldn''t bear to look directly at the mirror. In his 20 years of life, he never feels so "full" before.


    "What are you doing here?


    A deep, low and cold male voice prated Ye Zhizhou''s train of thoughts and brought his soul back. He looked up at the sound''s origin and see a tall man standing before the sunlight. Behind him, a petite figure stood a few meters away.


    Expensive custom-made suit, indifferent tone, meticulous hairstyle, unconsciously emitting out a strong aura ¡­¡­ blinking his eyes, Ye Zhizhou realize that this man must be this house owner ¡ª¡ª the current master of Yun family, one of the protagonist''s harem, Yun Ke.


    In ordance with the timeline, at this time the male lead already brought the protagonist to his house for a few days. If this man is Yun Ke, then that woman behind him ¡­¡­ Ye Zhizhou shift his sight to that petite figure standing behind Yun Ke. Examining each side of the head ¡ª¡ª there''s a sparkling dark red star that whirling every time she turned and she has the exact unique mark as the protagonist from the data.


    It seems that this really is the protagonist of this world, Bai Li.

 Chapter 2

    "What''s in your hand?" seeing he''s not replying, Yun Ke frowned and walked toward him.


    Ye Zhizhou quickly withdraw his line of sight. While supporting his knee to get up, he put the mirror back into the bag''s side pocket. Recalling the original character''s setting, he bowed down his head into an introverted timid look and whispered, "Nothing¡­¡­ Brother Yun, do you already have dinner?"


    Yun Ke didn''t respond, instead his tone be colder and grimmer, "Lift up your head when you speak."


    Ye Zhizhou obediently raise his head and meet the man''s dissatisfied eye.


    Dissatisfied?


    What? To concern whether you have eaten or not make you feels dissatisfied?


    After the brief mocking, he turned his head down to avoid the male lead gaze. He quickly rummaged his brain to ess the data and received the original character memory. After three seconds, he figured out the reason of Yun Ke dissatisfaction. He remained silence for a while, silently curse in his heart.


    So Yun Ke isn''t dissatisfied just simply because of that greeting just now, he just dissatisfied with Du Yang entirely!


    From the information data, Du Yang identity is "Yun family''s adopted son". But from the memory, Du Yang status is not simply just "family friend''s orphan", he''s also the younger brother of Yun Ke''s wife! That''s right. Before the protagonist arrived, Yun Ke already had a wife! But that wife is very unlucky, the same day as their marriage day, she died. Yes, died from car ident, in order to save Yun Ke''s life.


    Wedding ceremony turned into a funeral, it''s simply a tragedy.


    And this unlucky wife is Du Yang''s older sister, Du Yun.


    Du Yun died, leaving behind huge Du family properties with no one to take over. Du Yang still young at that time. Du family people have died few years ago leaving only pair of brother and sister. Yun Ke couldn''t bear it, he took over all Du family properties as Du Yun spouse. He''s also has been preparing Du Yang to be a qualified heir, so he can hand over those property to Du Yangter. Unfortunately, with no parents in childhood, also witnessing his sister tragic death at such young age, Du Yang has be crooked. But toward Yun Ke, he be timid and weak crook. Obviously, Ye Zhizhou showed that timid and introverted look just now has sessfully poking in Yun Ke sensitive "cultivate an excellent heir" nerve.


    Ye Zhizhou want to sigh again.


    Yun Ke saw him looking at him but became afraid with only a nce then looked away again. Yun Ke''s looks became even darker, his cold tone almost make people get frostbite, "I said lift your head when you speak."


    What a bad temper.


    In order to avoid the male lead cold air and be freeze to death, Ye Zhizhou didn''t dare to continue on with the "timid introverted" act anymore.


    He raised his head once again, not avoiding and looking straight at Yun Ke chilly gaze.


    Seeing his straight fixed gaze, Yun Ke frowned, "Are you dissatisfied with me?"


    ¡­¡­fuck.


    He obviously gave this kind of haughty and confidence gaze.


    Male lead, do you have bad eyes?


    Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help but re at him.


    The usual full of fear and nervous eyes now filled with rare energy, shining brightly and not avoiding anymore. Yun Ke was a bit surprised, doubting his eyes. He couldn''t help but look carefully into those pair of eyes. Suddenly those eyes quickly blink and then closed tightly, covered by a fat hand.


    ¡­¡­is that recent energy just an illusion? Yun Ke thought so. Although his mind is still full of dissatisfaction toward the youth, but his face finally eased down. With a rare slightly caring tone, he asked, "What happened?"


    "Got sand in my eyes." Suddenly attacked by sand, Ye Zhizhou bitterly put down his hand and bow down his head, wiping the falling tears. He sighed inside on his current bad luck.


    Because of height difference and standing position, when Ye Zhizhou bowed down his head, Yun Ke can only see the tiny whorl on top of his ck and soft hair which surprisingly look a bit cute. The sudden strange thought on his mind made Yun Ke went nk. He rposed his face and faintly said, "Come inside to eat." He turned around and took arge stride toward the door.


    Fill with excitement, Ye Zhizhou hurriedly dismissed his train of thought and catched up with him.


    The ever silent with no existence protagonist, Bai Li, as if suddenly came alive. She carried a small bag full of flower seed on her side and walked toward Ye Zhizhou. She gently looked at him and spoke with a low soothing voice, "Xiao* Yang, don''t be afraid. That just Big brother Yun bad temper. It doesn''t mean he doesn''t like you. Oh, right, yesterday you said you like tulips. This afternoon when I and Big brother Yun went out, we idently saw and bought the flower seed back home. nt them under your balcony, ok? This way,ter when you open the window, you can immediately see your favorite flower."


    {*used to call someone younger or same age to indicate familiarity and show affection, the usual pattern is: Xiao st name''}


    Ye Zhizhou heard her. He took a glimpse of the protagonist lucid and elegant face. His heart quickly tighten, entering mission mode. Here ites! The female lead unique skill that captivated all the male leads ¡ª¡ª anytime and anywhere releasing the gentle, easy-going, and radiance feels ¡ª¡ª the max healing ability.


    He turned his head toward the door and sure enough saw Yun Ke''s step slightly paused before entering the house. His mind became rmed, he rush to take a step away and increase his distance from her. While shaking his head he said, "No, I don''t like tulips. You are mistaken."


    The protagonist was somewhat ignorant by his answer, "But yesterday didn''t you say¡­¡­"


    "Yesterday, I merely said I don''t dislike tulip, that''s all. Compare to this delicate flower, I prefer to raise cactus." No longer gave the woman a chance to reply, he quickly run to Yun Ke and pulled his sleeve toward the dining room. He really want to drag him away from the female lead charm''s range. While pulling he said, "Brother Yun, my stomach is starving. Hurry up. Let''s have dinner."


    Yun Ke never let anyone easily touched his body, so he became somewhat displeased. His thought about Bai Li just thrown to the back of his mind in a sh. He wanted to get rid of the other person hand, unaware that his heart had been swayed by the boy''s illusion-like brimming energized eyes.


    It truly is a very pretty eyes, bright and also quick witted, make people unconsciously want to look into them.


    He looked down and saw his sleeve that being grab tightly by white fat palm. He also saw the back of the youth confused head. Showingpromise, he gently remove the power on his arm.


    Only this once, he''llply with this boy.


    Bai Li, who had been left alone, saw their back gradually disappear behind the door. She couldn''t help but knitted her fine eyebrow. A trace of unhappiness quickly shed inside her heart.


    What''s going on? Normally with just few casual caring words, the young fat boy will eagerlye over. Why did he ignore her today? Is it really because he doesn''t like tulip? So hateful, if he doesn''t like it just say so yesterday ah, making her lose face in front of Big brother Yun.


    Only until they sat down on the bright dining room did Ye Zhizhou clearly saw Yun Ke''s face. Arch sharp eyebrow, slightly upright eye corner like almond shape, straight nose, sexy thin lips, and plus the expressionless face¡­¡­ what a perfect cold abstinence handsome face, it''s simply heavenly.


    Looking at the other person, Ye Zhizhou once again thought about his current looks, he deeply acknowledged this world''s biased.


    "What are you looking at?"


    "Your handsome face."


    Yun Ke''s chopstick stopped, Ye Zhizhou''s mind also stopped.


    It''s finished, the setting downfall is too big to handle.


    The atmosphere on the dining room immediately drop down, after a long time, just when Ye Zhizhou thought that conversation merely an illusion, Yun Ke''s indifferent voice echoed, "You''ll also be very handsome in the future."


    Ye Zhizhou looked down at his white fat hand and round belly, silently showing his doubt.


    "There''re no ugly people in Du family."


    "¡­¡­" so this body has mutated gene then?


    "There''re also no fat person."


    "¡­¡­" damn it. Male lead, can''t you just shut up?


    "When you get taller naturally you''ll also be thinner."


    "¡­¡­ I hold your words." He was in deepprehension. Former Yun Ke was not dissatisfied with the original character, on the contrary, the character''s self-confidence is too excessive ah. He can be thin after getting taller? The original character is now 17 years old, height 175, weight 85 kg! How to get taller than this? Isn''t this going to require great effort to be thin and handsome?


    "Don''t mention it. After dinner, bring your midterm report to me."


    "¡­¡­yes."


    After the weight topic, the two people in the dining table quiet down. The kitchendy, Wu Ma, is very capable. Her meal has all nutrient bnce and filled up Ye Zhizhou''s stomach, he ate very satisfyingly.


    Until he finished his meal and drank his milk, then Ye Zhizhou just found out that the protagonist is not at the dinner table. He curiously asked, "Where is Sister Lili? She''s not eating together with us?" From the system''s data, Yun Ke treat Bai Li very well. Although he hire her to be the family gardener, but in his heart, she''s never be a servant. They had always been eating at the same table.


    Yun Ke who was intending to leave and went to his study, hearing the boy, sat down once again. With expressionless face, he looked at him from top to bottom.


    Being looked at like that make Ye Zhizhou somewhat nervous, he couldn''t help but shrank and asked, "What? Is there a sticky rice on my face?"


    Yun Ke frowned, his face darkened.


    Ye Zhizhou actually knew the reason of his darkened face. The man chilly gaze made him quickly straightened up his body, as if he and that shrank man just now are not the same ¡ª¡ª needless to say, it''s the other''s "cultivate an heir" nerve itching again.


    Yun Ke indeed eased down his face. He folded his leg and leaned his rxed body at the chair. He found the suddenly became fearless youth is very interesting. He leisurely asked, "Do you like Miss Bai?"


    Miss Bai? Why such an unfamiliar way of calling? Ye Zhizhou''s heart doubted, but his face remained insignificant. He said while shaking his head, "No. I don''t like her." He isn''t blind of those two male leads. Wanting to step forward between two boats like that, he absolutely doesn''t dare to like that "gentle and kindhearted" woman.


    Yun Ke''s face is showing a thoughtful look and leisurely said, "I thought you like her."


    "Not at all." Perhaps the original character does like her, but unfortunately the original is gone.


    "I understand." Yun Ke nodded, got up and fixed his clothes. His tone turned indifferent again, "Follow me to the study. Bring your midterm report and test paper."


    What did you understand? Ye Zhizhou couldn''t keep up with his thinking, busily grab his bag from the stool. He quickly chased the tall long leg Yun Ke. As a result, he barely catch up with the man. Still didn''t have time to speak, standing in the corner of dining room and living room, he saw Bai Li carrying a tea tray.


    With a very red eyes she looked at Du Yang as if he gave her a very deep heart wound. She hold the sadness and vulnerability on her face, with trembling voice said, "Xiao Yang, I didn''t expect you to hate me ¡­¡­ where did I upsetting you?"

 Chapter 3

    Protagonist, what kind of demon disturbed you?


    Ye Zhizhou was shivering because of her mournful mncholy tone. He couldn''t help but step back and replied, "I don''t hate you. I only say I didn''t like you."


    "Xiao Yang, you med me, didn''t you?" Bai Li choked up and softly said, "You med me for not agreeing to tutor you on your English lit yesterday right? Xiao Yang, I didn''t do it on purpose. I just heard that Big brother Yun had insomnia, so I spent some times to make this soothing tea to help him sleep. After all, not sleeping for a long time is very unhealthy¡­¡­" she said while taking a nce at Yun Ke, her eyes full of delicate expectation and also shyness.


    Ye Zhizhou stared with big eyes. Shy?! That''s not right, could it be the protagonist already fall for Yun Ke? This fast? This is not the same with the data ah! This time didn''t she supposed to only feel grateful and worship him?


    [System energy shortage, some information data might be missing, the actual development shall prevail the plot direction.]


    ¡­¡­system, you tyrant.


    Wait, insomnia? Ye Zhizhou urately caught the protagonist plot point. There is indeed such an info in the data. After the protagonist arrive in Yun residence, she found out that Yun Ke has insomnia. Any treatment do no good. Soon she thought to make a soothing tea, boiled it and gave it to Yun Ke with hope that the tea will relief some of his symptom. Originally, Yun Ke only thought of this as a small concern, but he didn''t expect the tea effect would be that good. The same day Yun Ke drink the tea, he slept very well. The protagonist very happy then begin to boil the tea every day for him, never take a break and finally made her sick with high fever unable to get up from bed!


    For the long term insomnia man, to be able to sleep that well is a huge positive point, plus the protagonist concern and considerate behavior is very satisfying. The stone heart Yun Ke gradually moved by the protagonist, quietly stirred his heart¡­¡­


    Ye Zhizhou mission radar quickly starting. He looked down toward the tea tray in protagonist hand, could it be this thing is¡­¡­


    Bai Li saw him not answering and firmly staring at the tray in her hand exined, "This is the soothing tea I mentioned earlier. I boiled it until midnight yesterday to make it good." Then he looked at Yun Ke, "Big brother Yun, I''ll help you put the tea to the¡­¡­"


    It is indeed that annoying tea!


    ¡ª¡ªabsolutely, must, not, let, Yun Ke drink it!


    "Wait a minute." He loudly interrupt Bai Li speaks, looking back at her with serious face, he asked, "Sister Lili, didn''t you lose your memory? Howe you still able to make the soothing tea? Could it be you regained your memory back?"


    Bai Li was stunned by him. Seeing Yun Ke seems to look closely at her, she hurriedly shook her head and answered, "No, I still couldn''t remember anything. As for the tea ¡­¡­when I see these things I just feel that I can¡­¡­"


    "I still can''t let Brother Yun drink it." He shook his head, looking at Bai Li with disapprove face, sincerely and earnestly said, "Sister Lili, I know you have good intention. But after all this is an import stuff, it''s better to be careful. You also don''t want to unexpectedly cause harm to Brother Yun, right?"


    "No, I don''t¡­¡­" Bai Li anxiously looking at Yun Ke and hurriedly exined, "Big brother Yun, of course I won''t cause you any harm, I already drank this tea myself and there''s no problem, I only want to¡­¡­"


    "What? You already drank it?" Ye Zhizhou with surprised eyes and exaggerated tone asked, "You actually give Brother Yun your left over?"


    "No no, I only pour a little to taste¡­¡­"


    "Just a taste and you already certain there''s no problem with the tea? Sister Lili, how can you be so careless!"


    "No, I''m not¡­¡­ Xiao Yang!" Bai Li became flustered and exasperated from his constant interruption. She couldn''t help but scream out loud.


    Ye Zhizhou firmly shutting up, looking up at Yun Ke with wronged eyes, "Brother Yun, please don''t me my rambling. I only worried about you. Teacher told us in the ssroom today that products with unknown origin should not be consume."


    The thing she prepared meticulously being criticized as "product of unknown origin" almost make Bai Li faint out of anger. She took a deep breath to calm down, re-adjusted her expression and with great effort she gently said, "Xiao Yang, I know you''re ming me for not tutoring you in English, but you can''t make a joke of Big brother Yun insomnia out of anger. You don''t understand, insomnia is very dangerous, I¡­¡­"


    "I''m not ming you ah." Ye Zhizhou looked at her with puzzled expression, "The thing about tutoring English is just a joke. Sister Lili, you''re not taking it seriously, right? You lost your memory, even if you want, I won''t dare to let you tutor me. What if you remember it wrong and mixed the grammar?"


    Bai Li feels herself nearly explode. This damn fat boy, what medicine he ate today? Why he keep targeting her! But in order to keep good impression on Big brother Yun, she won''t lose. She won''tpromised with that hateful fatty wish!


    "Big brother Yun¡­¡­" She bite her lips and force a smile. With a look as if she didn''t mind of Du Yang harassment, she softly said, "this child Xiao Yang just being troublesome. This tea is my intention for you¡­¡­"


    "Xiao Yang never trouble." The ever silent Yun Ke who heard their conversation finally opened his mouth. His speaks gave Bai Li cold from top to bottom, "I''m asking Miss Bai to not casually inquire information about the family host in the future. I appreciate your feeling for the tea." He said then no longer looked at her, turned around and walked toward the stairs.


    Ye Zhizhou stared with wide eyes, and the blinked, happiness on his brow. He sessfully destroy the protagonist tea strategy, right? Also, isn''t that Yun Ke just helping him just now?


    Good job, male lead!


    "Still not catching up." Yun Ke stop at the stair''s head and faced him, very dissatisfied seeing him dawdle, "Don''t forget to bring your report and test paper."


    "O oh, ok, I''ming" He hurriedly dismiss the raising happiness on his face. While holding his bag, he eagerly followed up.


    Today, this is the second time Bai Li see those two people''s back disappear from her sight, it feels worse than the first time!


    Hateful, really hateful! That damn Du Yang! If it were not for him, if not for him¡­¡­Big brother Yun will never treat her this cold! This is all his fault!


    Due to exerting force, her fingers that holding the tray became white, and her expression gradually distorted.


    He''s just a damn fatty who merely lived relying on other charity and made it to the family register! Just waitter for her¡­¡­


    In a ce where nobody see, Bai Li who always gentle and amiable got a glimpse of bitter resentment in her eyes.


    Ye Zhizhou happiness only stayed less than ten minutes.


    "Literature 85, mathematic 72, English 53, physics and chemistry total is only 113. ss rank is second from the back, year rank is 586¡­.. Du Yang, I thought you made progress recently."


    Chilly tone, dark painted face, annoyed aura all over him, looking very dissatisfied.


    No wonder the original character be more and more timid, there is such a terrifying guardian like this, it''s really though for the child. Although this kind of result is indeed too miserable¡­¡­


    "Speak, and don''t lower you head." Yun Ke tapped the desk.


    Ye Zhizhou quickly straighten his chest and looked up. He looked straightly at Yun Ke''s eyes, patted his bag and confidently said, "Brother Yun, this time my performance was not good. Next time I assure you I''ll get good result!" With his level two spiritual power, few senior high school textbooks are clearly a small thing. Just flip it over, he can master them and guarantee to get full mark on next exam!


    He saw that full of vitality and quick witted eyes again.


    It''s not an illusion¡­¡­ Yun Ke briefly stunned before quickly recover his soul back.


    He looked at Ye Zhizhou again when his chilly attitude finally scattered down. His attitude also be gentler, "It seems you really made progress." The youth slowly get rid of his coward and timid habit and he''s having more confident on himself. This is very good.


    Is it sarcasm or realpliment? Ye Zhizhou cleverly remained silent.


    "Well, you may go." The never talk nonsense, Yun Ke, finally put down the report. He waved his hands and then picked up the document on the desk.


    This cmity must be over. Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help but heave a relieved sigh. He put the report and test paper from the table into his bag and walked toward the door.


    "Are you afraid of me?"


    Ye Zhizhou already grab the door handle when the sudden voice almost make his heart jump. He looked back at Yun Ke and saw he still didn''t lift the document up. He stopped and regain his well-behaved manner and said, "No, I don''t."


    There''s no way he will ever admit that he indeed felt a little intimidate by that man. This is just making him lose face as the man from the future!


    "Hm." Yun Ke still not looking at him, as if he didn''t care what his answer.


    Ye Zhizhou felt a bit pressured. While enduring, he deliberately said, "Brother Yun, I know how to help you to sleep well."


    The ballpoint in Yun Ke''s hand stopped moving after hearing him. Yun Ke finally looked at his eyes. After two seconds, he return back to arrange the document efficiently and neatly. He lightly said, "Don''t trouble. Go back to your room and study. I will let Uncle Fu to give you a midnight snack in a while.''


    ¡­¡­forget it, just you suffer from that insomnia and be dead!


    Ye Zhizhou furiously turned around. He deliberately shut the door very hard it practically ringing.


    In the study room, Yun Ke put down the document and take a nce and the door, his thin lips slightly hooked up.


    At 11.30 p.m, Ye Zhizhou quietly opened his room window. He stuck out half of his body toward the next door room. He tapped thepact in his hand and softly said, "You''re certain if I y here Yun Ke could hear it?


    [Certain.]


    "Ok." He pulled out an old harmonica from his pants'' pocket. He found it on the corner of Yun family music room. He wiped it and brought it to his mouth, stuttering some tunes to test.


    On a quiet night, a clear sound of harmonica could be heard along the night breeze till far away. Ye Zhizhou carefully used his spirit force and concentrate on sending the note along the fluttering wind. It flowed through the window and squeeze into the next room, advancing toward the only living being in that room.


    Lying on the bed but still not sleeping, Yun Ke, felt something and open his eyes. But he didn''t find anything unusual, only the faintly stuttering sound of harmonica from next room.


    Xiao Yang still not sleeping at thiste?


    He frowned. When he just about to get up, the harmonica sound suddenly became louder. The gentle sound of harmonica tease his ear like a feather, inducing an itchy feeling. He couldn''t help but rubbed his ear. The next second, the long absent of drowsiness abruptly hit his mind. The not so obedient youth next door who dare still awake at thiste still hanging in his mind. He wanted to resist the sudden drowsiness, but the increasing gentle sound gradually loosened up his heart. Soon he sank into the dark and sweetnd of dreams.


    Next door, Ye Zhizhou gradually stopped his y and carefully withdraw his spirit force. He silently grinning.


    He finally fell asleep. I''ve save the male lead''s insomnia! This time the protagonist couldn''t even do anything to move the male lead''s heart!

 Chapter 4

    The tense and upsetting day finally over. Ye Zhizhou roll around in his nket, constantly letting out a sound.


    He''s really exhausted, but in order to survive¡­¡­


    [You did really well.]


    Thepact mirror once again talked to him without showing a live screen.


    Ye Zhizhou hadn''t finish breathing out yet and almost got choking. He coughed, couldn''t help but rolled his eyes.


    [Please keep working hard.]


    He didn''t want to work hard at all.


    [Mission failure means dead.]


    ¡­¡­well, everything for survival.


    [Every time youplete the mission, I will give you an upgrade and a reward.]


    Ye Zhizhou struggle with the carp¡­¡­too much fat, not right. He sat up and stare and the screen. His voice rise in surprise, "Every time? Are there a lot of this world saving mission?"


    [A lot.]


    The screen disyed the answer that make him despair. Soon it showed an even more despairing news,


    [Complete the progress bar and you can return home.]


    The very long progress bar. It divided into approximately a hundred small parts. Currently, it only had two small parts that sparkling.


    "¡­¡­after the progress bar been filled, my body would already rotten and only bones would remain, right?


    [Rest assured. Even if you lived in the mission world for thousands years, it only equivalent to just a second in your own world.]


    No, he didn''t feel reassured.


    [The system can upgrade your spirit to level 3 free of charge.]


    Ye Zhizhou''s face instantly brightened up. He immediately ask for the details, "Really? You can do this much? Level 2 and level 3 difference is not little. In a whole empire, a level 3 spirit can be counted with just two hands. If what system said is true¡­¡­"


    [It''s true. I didn''t deceive you. As long as the energy is sufficient, everything is possible.]


    He stare with big eyes, his heart speed elerate. He urgently said, "Give that upgrade to me now!" A level 3 spirit force can separate itself from the body and change into essence. It''s practically a necessary killer tool for the home travel.


    [Wait until the progress bar isplete.]


    "Can''t you upgrade it first¡­¡­"


    [I can''t.]


    "But¡­¡­"


    [There''re no shortcut to sess.]


    "¡­¡­"


    [Sufficient amount of rest is the basic need to guarantee the mission sess. Host, good night.]


    "¡­¡­" This is one annoying system.


    Ye Zhizhou is fidgeting around in his sleep. In his dream, he see his face at some sort of screen being shot in the head. His breath became difficult and his mind became heavy. At 5.30 in the morning, he finally awake by the torment.


    "Shit."


    [What?] The screen quickly shown before his eyes, respond as the man started moving.


    "I''m having a hard time breathing and having a restless sleep. Am I still not adapting here?" He started recalling his memory and remembering the past. Although he always sleep without eating, but the sleep quality is always good. Until the transmigration of himself, he silently starde and felt suffocated.


    The screen is shing like a scanner and sweeping it over his body, then casually popped out some lines, [The spirit cirction doesn''t have any issue. The body is 100% fit. You couldn''t sleep well because you''re too fat.]


    Too fat¡­¡­the original character doesn''t have a heavy heart, but rather he has a heavy body.


    He sat up from the bed, clenching his fat palm, and seriously said, "I want to lose some weight." who knew how much time it''ll take toplete this mission. In order to raise his life quality, he thought it''s better to lose some weight.


    The screen shed again, thepact mirror on the bedside cab automatically open, showing a small brown pill inside it.


    [Eat.]


    "What is this?"


    [A Xi Sui pill.]


    This abrupt name just feels somewhat wrong. To suddenly have a producte over from a high tech society made Ye Zhizhou doesn''t dare to consume it.


    [Trust me.]


    "¡­¡­"


    [You have no choice but to trust me.]


    Well¡­¡­ he and this system have to rely on each other to survive now. It seems he could only trust him.


    The pill entered his mouth, not bitter at all, instead a faint sweetness melted from it. Then a warm feeling spread to his body, slowly wandering in a circle. It feels veryfortable. This kind of mysterious feeling make Ye Zhizhou closed his eyes in pleasure.


    Two secondster, he suddenly opened his eyes and hurriedly went to the toilet.


    From 5.30 a.m. to 6.00 a.m. Ye Zhizhou almost copse from dehydration.


    [Xi Sui pills are divided into three category: Low pill to strengthen one''s body and health, Middle pill to improve one''s appearance and nourish skin, High pill to wash out impurities on the body. The third one is the only one to mend one''s body, discharge poison, and also good to raise body health. Please, don''t panic.]


    No, he''s not panic, he just want to die.


    The next day, Yun Ke didn''t look sleep deprived. The housekeeper, Uncle Fu, is very happy as if he''s celebrating the New Year. Later, with severemand, he prohibited anyone from going to the 2nd floor and disturb the Master. With smiling face, he swear on the dead lord anddy.


    Ye Zhizhou''s heart filled with smugness, looking at the protagonist''s a bit stiff gentle smile. He sat on the car satisfyingly with mysterious smile and went to school.


    High school life is dull and boring. Ye Zhizhou good intention soon disappeared. His patience had been spend on: flipping over Du Yang second grade textbook on the morning, rummaging through the first and third grade textbooks in the bookstore at lunch break, and then doing few sets of college entrance simtion problem on the afternoon. He got full mark after finishing the problem. After putting aside the test paper, he gazed at the sky in 45? with distress face¡­¡­ not knowing whether Yun Ke and the woman will take advantage while he''s at school and not at home. Whether they will sneak around and develop any harmonious man and woman rtionship or not.


    "Heaven, what if I''m skipping grade? Then I can try college entrance next year. This way I''ll have more time to observe the protagonist." A second year high school student totally doesn''t have any freedom ah, it''s so painful.


    Thepact mirror automatically open, showing a small green pill inside.


    "¡­¡­What is it?"


    A reward for skipping grade. It''s a Qingxin Yulu pill, to refresh and clear up mind at any time to keep your most clear-headed self.


    It seems he agreed with this skipping grade idea, but¡­¡­


    "Heaven, you actually selling fake drugs, right?"


    Heaven yed dead, ignoring him.


    Ye Zhizhou epted the pill with a good mood, then he get up and went out of the ss.


    At the interval time, he went to the teacher office. After knocking and get permission, he pushed the door & came in. he walked toward his homeroom teacher desk, showing a smile he said, "Teacher, my guardian want me to skipping grade. May I ask for the procedure?"


    The teacher who was still marking the assignment paper suddenly slipped his hand.


    ______


    Yun Yuan Company, top floor.


    Yun Ke opened hisputer browser with serious face, he type in keywords "sudden personality change" "introverted child sudden temper" "17 years old boy" and press enter.


    The search result quickly popped out. He skip the huge pile of medical advertisements and finally click on one that simr to Q&A site.


    Xuanyuan Longao Tian : Aiya, you don''t have to worry, your son just in his rebellion phase. It''s not a big thing. The disobedient child just need a spanking. Just beat him a few times, then he''ll be good.


    Beat a few times¡­¡­Yun Ke ferociously frowned and closed the page.


    _______


    After he smoothly get full mark on the test and get the teacher approval, Ye Zhizhou happily returned home, he met Uncle Fu and smile, he asked, "Where is Brother Yun? I have a good news to tell him."


    Infected by his smile, Uncle Fu also smile back. He got up and took the bag, he said, "Mr. Assistant called, he said there''s a sudden meeting at thepany, so Master wille backte today."


    "He eat quickly every day because he always busy." Ye Zhuzhou frowned seeing Bai Li carrying a big lunchbox set from dining room. His mission radar instantly ringing, he asked, "Sister Lili, why are you holding a lunchbox?"


    Bai Li seems already forgotten about their argument yesterday, she softly said, "I''m worried that Big Brother Yun will be too busy with his meeting and forget to eat. So I want to give this to him. The dinner already done, Xiao Yang, you eat first, OK? You don''t need to wait for Big Brother Yun."


    It''s indeed the "gentle and considerate" protagonist setting. To be so thoughtful, but what''s with her mistress attitude?


    Ye Zhizhou frowned in his heart but step forward with a smile in his face, looking concerned and said, "Sister Lili, you just got discharge from the hospital a few days ago, you''re still in recovery. What if you get exhaustedter? Just go, I will deliver this food to Brother Yun for you. It''s better for me to go, right? I also happen to have something important to talk with Brother Yun." Not waiting for the protagonist to respond, he snatched the lunchbox from her hand and run toward the door, then shouted out, "Uncle Li, start the car again. We''re going to deliver food for Brother Yun."


    "Ah, Xiao Yang, You don''t need to, I¡­¡­" Bai Li nkly stared at the boy who just like a shooting ball that instantly out and only left dust behind.


    "Young master has truly grown up. I know he care about the Master very well ah." Uncle Fu sigh in gratitude and look at Bai Li with appreciation, "Xiao Li, you sure have your way. Young master is too introverted before. Thanks to your talk few days ago, now the young master seems to be more optimistic and energetic."


    "No¡­¡­It should be. You don''t need to be so polite Uncle Fu." Bai Li stiffly pull up the corner of her mouth, her hands clench tightly, her fingernails almost nip her palm, "Xiao Yang really be more optimistic now, he also talk a lot more¡­¡­"


    ______


    The car stopped at thepany gate, Ye Zhizhou send the driver to go and make arrangement. Carrying the big lunchbox, he use his "royal rtive" status to use the exclusive and private elevator. He slowly walked around Yun Ke spacious and tidy office.


    This is the first time the original character came to Yun Ke''spany, of course it''s also the first time for Ye Zhizhou. Yun Ke always showing off a strong and indifferent aura on him, unlike his office which give a warm feeling, a warm sense like home.


    He put the lunchbox on the coffee table in the waiting area. He curiously walked around and examined the office. Soon after, it became dull, so he went back to the waiting area and sat on the sofa. He open the lunchbox that meticulously prepared by the protagonist.


    Three dishes and one soup. Two non-vegetarian dishes and one vegetarian dish. There''s also a fruit and a small pot of bright color tea.


    The protagonist really prepare such fancy dishes¡­¡­wait, tea? The protagonist still doesn''t give up on this tea thing?


    He cliqued his tongue and pick up the teapot. He look for the biggest cup there and pour it in. He held the cup to his nose and sniffed it. Then he drank a tiny bit of the tea and quietly savor the taste.


    Fragrant light color, mild bitter taste with sweet aftertaste. After he drank the tea, there''s a faint light feeling at the back of his head, as if his entire body is being surrounded by warm cloud. Even his spirit force has been weaken down.


    This is not right!


    He quickly retrieve back his soul from the pleasure state. He take the Qingxin Yulu pill given by system this afternoon and swallow it. After the pill melt inside, there''s a cool substance went straight to his forehead. The next second, the muddle in his head suddenly clear up. His spirit force also regain its energy back.


    He frowned at the cup with imposing eyes.


    This tea is weird.


    Yun Ke pushed the door and came in. he saw the boy looking bitterly at the cup and slightly frowned, "What are you doing here?"


    Ye Zhizhou slowly lifted his eyes, his lips started moving, spitting out two words, "Testing poison."


    "Pfft." The assistant who came in behind Yun Ke couldn''t help but let out augh.


    _____


    T/N :


    Uncle Fu (Fu Bo), Uncle Li (Li Shu)


    Bobo means father''s older brother, shushu means father''s younger brother. These also can be used for addressing older men, so they''re not really the sibling of Du Yang''s father. It also shows that Uncle Fu is older than Uncle Li.

 Chapter 5

    Yun Ke finally knew the feeling of raising a bratty kid. He waved his hand to the assistant to dismissed him. He swept a nce at the opened lunchbox on the table. He went to the sofa and sat down, picked up the cup and asked, "Hungry?"


    "Stop." Ye Zhizhou hurriedly took the cup away from him and said, "I already drink from this cup."


    "That is my cup."


    Ye Zhizhou freeze for a moment and immediately rxed again. He shamelessly said, "From now on it''s mine."


    Sure enough, it''s indeed the youth rebellion phase.


    Yun Ke deeply looked at him, from top to bottom, from the clothes to the small watermark, to the wrong shoce on his shoes. As if, he could see through his body that his soul already change inside.


    Ye Zhizhou feel his body stiffen up because of Yun Ke''s gaze. He hurriedly change the topic, "The tea in this cup is from Sister Lili''s lunchbox. I just drank it a little, I think there''s something wrong with the tea."


    As expected, Yun Ke shifted his attention. He slightly raised up and took the cup to sniff at it. He asked, "Where is it wrong?"


    "I don''t know the specific, but this tea definitely has a problem. After I drank it, my mind immediately rxed, also felt kind of light as a feather and muddled¡­.. Brother Yun, why do I feel that this is simr to the symptom in the news, the one that after you inhale¡­¡­" he putted on a worried hesitate looks and deliberately made his voice sound serious.


    Yun Ke''s expression instantly changed. He put down the teacup and get up while pulling the boy. He walked toward the door in arge stride.


    Ye Zhizhou almost fell down from the pulling. He''s busily steadying his foot and said, "Brother Yun, where are we going? I haven''t finish talking about that tea yet."


    "To the hospital. I''ll let other people deal with the tea." Yun Ke slow down his step to match the boy''s pace. He open the door and call out for the assistant. He exined the situation and told him to take the meal and tea in the office and send them to be tested, then he walked to the elevator.


    In the hospital, after being toss around for a couple of times, they finally get the test result at 10.30 p.m.


    Getting out from the hospital, Ye Zhizhou hunger only remain a half. He leaned at the car door and saw the dark face on Yun Ke. He weakly appeased the man, "Brother Yun, don''t be so tense. The doctor already said there''s no problem. Moreover, maybe I''m just wrong about the tea. Maybe there''s actually no problem with it¡­¡­" though the problem already solved by the Qingxin Yulu pill.


    "No, I''m careless." Yun Ke start the car wearing a cold expression. "With Bai Li sudden appearance and unknown origin even after investigation, I shouldn''t hastily brought her back to our home." At first he only want to give it a try and use the unknown woman to see whether he can fish out something or not. But he didn''t expect Du Yang to almost get hurt.


    Ye Zhizhou became even more amazed, "Brother Yun, you''re investigating Sister Lili?"


    "She suddenly appear and being hit by my driver, got injured and woke up losing her memory. It''s very suspicious." The car then stopped in front of a porridge shop. Yun Ke moved to help the boy unfasten his seatbelt, "Well, no matter what, until the food''s test result came out, you have to stay away from Bai Li."


    So, it turned out that Yun Ke''s driver is the one who hit Bai Li? Then Yun Ke also has investigating her all along? Ye Zhizhou stared with wide eyes feeling a bit stupid. Are these info exist in the system''s data? Isn''t it because Yun Ke took pity on her memory loss, he took her back home and properly taking good care of her? It''s totally different ah! How it can instantly change from a clich¨¦ love story into a suspense drama? What''s he supposed to do?


    [System energy shortage, some information data might be missing, the actual development shall prevail the plot direction.]


    Ye Zhizhou, "¡­¡­" system, this isn''t just simply missing, this is a big pithole of demised ah!


    They both filled their stomach till full. When they''re arrived at home, it''s already 11.30 p.m. but the protagonist still not asleep. In the middle of the night, inte autumn and early winter season, she''s wearing a thin cotton white nightgown, waiting in the living room.


    You''re not cold, ha¡­¡­Ye Zhizhou cursed in silent. For the purpose of getting Yun Ke, she really put herself at risk.


    "Big Brother Yun, you''re back." Bai Li came over to greet him. Her hands lightlybed her long hair. With a perfect deep concerned looks on her face and a hint of tiredness, she softly asked, "How can you just back thiste? If I knew, I should''ve brought the food personally to you. Xiao Yang insisted on taking it, holding you up till thiste."


    Knowing that Yun Ke doesn''t have any special feeling toward the protagonist and even felt suspicious at her, Ye Zhizhou also feel no longer need to wear the friendly fa?ade at her. He moved in front of Yun Ke, blocking his vision, and without a trace of politeness said, "Sister Lili, you''re a gardener. Your job is to maintain the flowers and nts in the garden. Delivering food is Uncle Li''s job. Don''t you think you already overstep the bound?''


    After hearing this, Bai Li just took a nce at him andughed, as if he just a bratty kid. She even gently said, "Everyone is living together, just like a family. Helping each other is a must. Xiao Yang, that way of thinking is so heartless. Moreover, Uncle Li already busy picking you up from school in the afternoon. I''m less busy and just trying to help everyone. How can you say such severe words like that?" She shyly moved her head sideway, exposing a beautiful side profile. Her face gradually blushed, "besides, delivering food for Big Brother Yun is my own request. Wu Ma originally didn''t allow me to prepare the meal. She said Big brother always eat outside whenever he''ste¡­¡­of course I can''t help but worried¡­¡­"


    "You don''t need to." Yun Kepletely ignored the woman''s shy and timid look. He said with a cold face, "If you constantly not busy, go to Du family old residence in Furong District. Maintain the greenhouse there. Also,ter don''t wear such clothes wandering around the house. It''s not good for the child."


    The blushing on Bai Li''s face gone and she gradually pale up. She looks toward Yun Ke with bewilderment, her eyes moist up, "Big Brother Yun, you¡­you want to drive me out?"


    "Simply transferring your post. Also, please pay attention when you''re addressing me in the future Miss Bai Li, so outsiders not misunderstood." Then Yun Ke no longer looked at her and just grab Ye Zhizhou''s hand, pulling him upstairs.


    Just when Yun Ke finished his speech, a small g suddenly shes on top of Bai Li''s head and rotating slowly.


    What is that? Ye Zhizhou widely stared at that g, looking it over and over. In his mind, he frantically called out the system.


    [Congrattion Host, the probability of Yun Ke and protagonist fallen for each other already down to 50%. Once it reach 0%, the soul g will disappear. Please continue your great effort.]


    This is really¡­¡­ an unexpected joy.


    Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help but pulled up the corner of his mouth, grinning.


    "Turn your head, don''t look at filthy thing." Yun Ke then stopped in front of the boy''s room. He lifted up his finger toward the boy''s forehead. His always cold gaze suddenly filled with warm, "Go back to your room and get a rest. Tomorrow is weekend, I''ll allow you to wake a bitte."


    When a cold and grim man suddenly became gentle, the destructive power is¡­¡­truly lethal. In addition, that man also has a very good looking face. Ye Zhizhou couldn''t stop his face turning red, that thing about the g on protagonist head already gone from his mind. By impulse, he asked, "Brother Yun, my harmonica ying is good to hear, right?"


    Yun Ke looked at his blushing face again and again, seeing those pretty eyes with seemingly hidden stars in it. There''s a tingling sensation on the side of his finger making him instinctively rubbed them over. Although he got softhearted but he still honestly said, "Not good. Don''t y aroundter. You must sleep early."


    "¡­¡­" Can''t you make a small talk? Can''t you!


    Ye Zhizhou took back his hand which still being grabbed by Yun Ke. He fiercely red at the man, and then stomped his feet heavily while going back to his room.


    Bai Li who is chasing after them stopped at the stair''s corner. She looked up and see the back figure of the tall man standing in front of Du Yang''s room. Her body swayed and then she kneeled on the floor.


    Filthy thing, Big brother Yun really see her this way?


    How could it be¡­¡­she buried her head in her hands, her eyes finally reveal a trace of genuine sadness. Obviously just two days ago, everything is still good. Big brother Yun still treated her gently, that damn fat kid also still scared of Big brother Yun and needed herfort just so he could greet Big brother Yun. For this reason, Big brother even praised her good character¡­¡­this is only two days!


    How could this be, Big brother Yun was very nice¡­¡­Right, Big brother Yun is very nice, so it definitely because of that fat kid!


    She gradually stopped her tears. Her expression became gloomy. Her teeth tightly bite her lower lip, almost tear it.


    Everything is all because that damn fat kid. It''s only after he approached Big brother Yun that Big brother started to change. He must came between them to be a third wheel and tear them apart! He''s afraid that after Big brother and she became together, they will drive that wretched kid out, right?


    Dark, mean, and feeling down!


    No, things can''t keep going on like this.


    She leaned on the stairs to get up, her expression slowly twisted. She must find a way to get rid of that damn fat kid. As long as he''s gone, Big brother Yun won''t keep misunderstand her like this¡­¡­as long as he''s gone¡­¡­


    ______


    Holding his anger while ying the harmonica, Ye Zhizhou then cover himself with the nket and sleep till dawn.


    At 8.00 in the morning, Uncle Wu, the former manager of the greenhouse at the Du family old residence, drove to Yun residence. Bai Li putted on her gentle mask and went over to greet him.


    Ye Zhizhou was nibbling on the steamed buns, his squinted eyes are following their movement at far. He''smunicating with the system inside his mind, "Heaven, what is the basis for the love parameter between Yun Ke and the protagonist? Give me a hint, ok."


    [The system has already given all of his data.]


    "¡­¡­that data of yours are filled with loophole waiting to copse and easy to trample, you''re just going to forget about it?"


    [Please believe the system.]


    He ungracefully stuffed the whole buns into his mouth, vaguely said, "I tried to."


    Although saying that, he still dug out all the data from the system after breakfast. He read it over and over, searching for any loophole that he might miss. He will crush any crucial point that may lead to the increasing in Yun Ke and protagonist feeling. He supported his chin and began to analyze.


    From the data, if his body transmigration didn''t ur, the first emotional bonding between Yun Ke and protagonist should be in the hospital. The second time is after the tea strategy. Then the feeling will umte slowly for a long time during trivial daily events. Until protagonist risks herself to save Yun Ke that it finally explodes¡­¡­but from yesterday situation, Yun Ke simply didn''t have any love interest toward the protagonist. It seems that the first development in the hospitalpletely didn''t happen¡­¡­also, the data mention that after the first development, the protagonist only feels grateful and worship toward Yun Ke. But in fact, the protagonist already tried to pursue Yun Ke directly¡­¡­


    In the original, even if his small transmigration didn''t happen, isn''t the plot already began to copse? Unlikely, right¡­¡­he pulled the corner of his mouth, carefully recalled the interaction between Yun Ke and protagonist for the past few days. He recalled it over and over finding a trouble.

 Chapter 6

    Although sometimes system is not reliable, but it still can predict the plot direction well enough. Therefore, the info about the first development at the hospital should be correct, and because thecking energy, the data description is a bit wrong. From these past few days, it seems that the wrong part is about the depth of protagonist''s feeling for Yun Ke. So at the first development, the protagonist just one-sidedly fell for Yun Ke? Then because of her interest on Yun Ke, she felt Yun Ke concern while living in Yun residence and found out about the insomnia. She carefully prepare the tea for him, and because of the tea Yun Ke will slowly has interest on her, thus it reach the second development¡­¡­so the first two developments must be one-sided?


    Then the story plot is correct!


    Ye Zhizhou turned the screen off and sighed deeply.


    Heaven, you really one pit hole of a spirit¡­¡­however the plot finally connected.


    Right now, the protagonist''s tea strategy already failed. It even made Yun Ke feels suspicious and beware of her. The second development is instantly crashed down. Yun Ke didn''t have good impression about her, he might also loath her. So the love probability immediately cut down by half, leaving only 50 % remaining¡­¡­the protagonist had been send out from Yun residence. The chance to raise good impression over daily events also gone. So the only thing left is¡­¡­Ye Zhizhou quickly skipped over the numerous line of info and jump into thest act this cannon fodder character caused¡ª¡ªthe car ident.


    He squinted his eyes, lightly tapped on the sofa arm.


    Although Yun Ke has a cold face but he''s not a cold-hearted person inside. So this life saving act is really powerful. But now the character who''s nning the car ident already became him. So from where the chance for the protagonist to save Yun Kee? The opportunity to do the lifesaving act is gone, but why the remaining 50% is still exist?


    Could it be¡­¡­no matter the original character n it or not, the male lead will still involve in a car ident?


    His tapping movement stopped, he slowly frowned.


    If this is the case, the info about the original character nning a car ident might be just a big loophole from the system! When he received the original memory, he was a bit doubtful about this. Because the character has a timid and weak personality, how could he has the courage to n a car ident?


    Also adding the suspicious tea from yesterday¡­¡­


    Heaven ah, how could I solved this disastrous thing by myself¡­¡­


    After one more good sleep, Yun Keplexion became quite good. He came from upstairs and saw the boy sitting on the sofa in daze. He frowned, "Xiao Yang, why didn''t you go study?"


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the man face. From the hair that falling gracefully in his forehead, to the slender and beautiful finger. From the broad shoulder to the long straight leg. He secretly felt a bit envious toward the man. After seeing the cold face, his soul shakes a bit¡­¡­Yun Ke has an amber color eyes, really attractive¡­¡­his eysh also unusually long¡­¡­


    "Xiao Yang?" Yun Ke walked in front of him and flicked his forehead. He looked him up with doubtful expression, then he frowned, "it seems you lost some weight, are you not eating properly?"


    Ye Zhizhou soul finally returned. With great effort he tried to ignore the warm feeling on his forehead. With a bit of sympathy in his heart, he pulled Yun Ke hands toward him and honestly said, "Brother Yun,ter I''ll surely y the harmonica for you every day." And make sure you''re not suffering from insomnia anymore so you''ll have the best condition to face the uing car ident¡­¡­


    "You''re talking nonsense." Yun Ke didn''t withdraw his hand that still being hold, instead he feel a bit pleased from this natural contact. Feeling quite good, he sat down beside the boy and asked, "You''re trying this hard to pleased me. Do you have something to ask?"


    "How could it be, my concern toward Brother Yun is true¡­¡­No, I do have something in mind." He suddenly remember about the grade skipping n.


    "What is it?" Yun Ke picked up the coffee brought by Uncle Fu. He drank a mouthful lightly. The elegant move could not be said with words.


    Ye Zhizhou took out a form from his schoolbag. He showed it in front of the man with a faint proud face, "The homeroom teacher rmend me for skipping grade. This is the application form. Brother Yun, please sign this for me ok?"


    "Skipping grade?" Yun Ke warm expression instantly clouded over. "Xiao Yang, your will to improve yourself is a good thing but blindly advancing forward is a reckless move. With your results, skipping grade is not beneficial for your progress."


    Already expecting this reaction, Ye Zhizhou took out two simtion book from his bag. "These are the college entrance exams for thest two years which teachers told me to solve. Besides literature, everything else is full marks. Brother Yun, I know you''re disappointed in me for these past few years, but I can try harder. Really. My sister was only 17 when she got offer from several famous foreign school. Although I can''t bepare with her, but¡­¡­" he said with slightly red eyes, pitifully asked in a soft voice, "Brother Yun, please sign this. I''ll work hard to achieve your wish. Please don''t lose hope on me."


    This was the first time Yun Ke see the youth pleading pitifully like this. He stunned and didn''t know what to do. He just avoid the youth''s eyes, holding the test paper and flip it over. He stared on the score for a long time and lowly sighed, "But Xiao Yang, your previous mid-term result¡­¡­"


    "That was only because I''m not in a good condition. I always dream about sister a few days before, so I couldn''t sleep very well¡­¡­" Ye Zhizhou quickly brought up Du Yun matter and make his voice even more pitiful, "Or did Brother Yun think I cheated on this? Even though I''m much worse than my sister and always disappointing Brother Yun, but¡­¡­"


    "Xiao Yang." Yun Ke interrupt the boy''s self-loathing. He finally looked at him and awkwardly lift his hand to stroke the boy''s head. His eyes filled with chaos, "You''re a very good kid. Very hardworking. I also see the change in you and I''m very pleased." He stopped, his finger gently caress his hair, his eyes showed defeated look, "It''s me who''s not good¡­¡­I neglected you."


    At the beginning of Du Yang adoption, Du family was inmotion. Yun Ke''s state of mind also had not sorted out well. He just immediately put Du Yang in the care of Uncle Fu. After the situation stabilize, the Yun family also started growing in power. Yun Ke became busier and didn''t have time toe home anymore. Thinking about this, for the past few years of Du Yang adoption, besides the concern about the boy''s study sometimes, he actually hasn''t pay any attention toward him.


    He''s very ipetent and a big failure.


    Even for this improvement on their current rtionship, it''s all because the other side summon his courage to carefully approach him. And before today, he actually never thought why Xiao Yang would always scared of him and avoiding him. He just blindly used strong force to reserve the part of Xiao Yang''s character he didn''t like. He stubbornly want to nurture the boy to seed Du Yun and be an outstanding and powerful man.


    When did he turned into such a ¡õ¡õ cold person? Xiao Yang is only 17, he''s just a big child. And now he was forced to do this. From always failing to almost get full marks on everything. He could no longer see Xiao Yangcking area to pay attention to.


    In his contemtion, Yun Ke just ignored the irrational sudden rise in Du Yang''s grades. He unconsciously increase the strength in his hand that caress the boy''s hair and full of guilt said, "Xiao Yang, I''m sorry."


    When the light touch in his head became stronger, Ye Zhizhou''s heart felt like there''s an ant crawling on it. Then Yun Ke suddenly apologize to him, making the hair on his neck instantly stand up. He hold the hand on his head and brought it down. Swallowing his saliva and chocking out a more pitiful expression, he answered, "Brother Yun, you don''t have anything to apologize for. You''re so good to me. So the application form¡­¡­"


    Yun Ke only looked at him, deep expression, eyes full of uncertain emotion.


    What is he supposed to do? Sign or not sign?


    Ye Zhizhou felt a bit anxious. He finally release the ultimate move. He maintained his red eyes and stammering said, "just sign this for me, please. I guarantee that the score is real¡­¡­brother-inw¡­¡­"


    Yun Ke suddenly unable to move. He looked down and saw the boy''s teary eyes. His heartbeat instantly became chaos. He couldn''t help but move forward and hold the boys into his arms.


    [Yun Ke and protagonist love probability has dropped to 45%, please make persistent effort, Host]


    ! ! !


    This one line brother-inw has this big fatality?!


    Ye Zhizhou hardly hold back his frightened tears, he ufortably tried to move. His mind became dizzy from Yun Ke''s body faint fragrance, "That, brother-inw¡­¡­"


    "Don''t call me brother-inw."


    "¡­¡­what?"


    "Call me brother."


    "¡­¡­Brother Yun."


    After a good while, Yun Ke finally let the boy go. He took the application form and simply signed it.


    Ye Zhizhou felt his heart has been stimte too much. After receiving the application form, he literally shrank into the sofa corner, trying hard to control his feeling¡ª¡ªthe embrace of a handsome man is too powerful, he couldn''t afford the second time.


    Yun Ke picked up his coffee again,fortably sitting on the sofa. He regained his usual expressionless face, "I will arrange for the skipping grade procedure. In the afternoon, go with me to thepany."


    You''re handsome so whatever you say. Ye Zhizhou obediently nodded.


    "If you have time¡­¡­y the harmonica for me. I can teach you."


    Ye Zhizhou turned nk. He looked up at Yun Ke warm eyes and unconsciously grinned. He heavily nodded, "Yes!"


    ______


    Yun Ke work is very efficient. Only one day after he sign the application form, Ye Zhizhou already receive a call from his teacher telling him he may immediately go into ss 3-5 next week.


    And the most surprising thing for Ye Zhizhou is, after that conversation, Yun Ke attitude toward him has significantly changed. The harsh and rigid interaction has be gentle and equal. Thus and so, the two people gradually spend more time together. The home atmosphere also became better and better.


    It was another weekend, Ye Zhizhou was once again brought to thepany by Yun Ke. He slowly started getting ess and gaining knowledge of thepany management. Two men, one patiently teach and one earnestly learn, they made progress in an amazing speed.


    As if everything is all going in good direction, except¡­¡­


    Yun Ke looked at Ye Zhizhou clothes that seemingly became bigger and bigger. He frowned and said, "Today don''t study, just properly take a rest. Tomorrow I''ll take you for a health checkup."


    Ye Zhizhou nodded in confusion with a very cute expression. In these 10 days, his body has finally washed out from any impurity by the Xi Sui pill. His weight downed in unscientific rate. In other people''s view¡­¡­this is probably seems awful, right?

 Chapter 7

    The checkup''s result showed that Ye Zhizhou''s body is normal and even healthier than before. Yun Ke frowned while staring at the report for a long time, but he still not reassured. He dragged the boy to another hospital for another checkup.


    The result is still all normal.


    For few dayster, Ye Zhizhou always got Yun Ke''s full attention, especially during meal time. Ye Zhizhou had to force himself to eat half more bowl of rice every time they eat.


    His weight was lost in irrational speed. However, there isn''t any side effect of the sudden weight lost.


    One monthter, he finally reached the normal weight of a man. He turned into one beautiful and slender young man.


    After his changes, Uncle Fu prepare some new clothes for him. He stood in front of a mirror, checking his current looks while pulling up the corner of his mouth. Red lips, white teeth; almond eyes, thin lips; couple with white delicate skin and quite long fringes¡­¡­he really looked like a girl. Luckily his eyebrow still look heroic and his face outline obviously looked like a boy. If not¡­¡­


    Remembering how Yun Ke always looked deeply at him from time to time, he hold his face while moving the fringes and said, "It''s time to trim this a few inches¡­¡­" He thought of his previous handsome and confident self, and now¡­¡­he really want to flooded out his tears.


    After Ye Zhizhou''s body fully stabilized, Yun Ke dragged the boy for checkup again. The result of course was all normal. He finally epted the fact that even though Ye Zhizhou became thinner, but he also became healthier. He used the weekend to take the always-study-hard Ye Zhizhou to the mall.


    "I have more than enough clothes. Last week Uncle Fu helped me to buy some." Also like the majority of men, Ye Zhizhou hate shopping. In his own world, online shopping has be the mainstream. Going out to shop mostly done only by the bored housewives. So, he really didn''t have any interest to do this!


    "Thepany will hold a party for the New Year. I n to take you there. Today we''ll take measurement for your suit." Yun Ke skillfully parked the car then straightway helped the teen unbuckle the seatbelt.


    His caring behavior has gradually became a habit. Ye Zhizhou just purposely said while conveniently raised his hand, "Why do you never take me to this kind of party before? Is it because I''m too fat and ugly?" It''s already more than a month, he could see through Yun Ke cold face but softhearted character. His speaks became more and more random.


    "Talking nonsense again." Yun Ke naturally frowned but with a trace of warmth in his eyes. "I didn''t take you before because you''re still young. I''m afraid this kind of event will frightened you. Now, you''re older and also had been contact withpany affairs. Also, it''s already time for you to show your face as Du master to others."


    He picked up his backpack in the backseat and got out of the car. Grinningly said, "Be careful though, when the timees I''ll might disgrace you."


    Yun Ke also got out from the car and walk over to the boy''s side. He rubbed the boy''s hair, "It won''t happen, I believe you."


    "Well, in fact I also believe in myself." He proudly straightened up his chest, raised his chin, and opened up his hands, putting on a smug youthful looks.


    Yun Ke looked at the teen''s hands, then at his head that was covered by hair. He unconsciously rubbed his finger then put his hand inside his pocket. "Don''t feel too conceited. That is taboo in this line of business."


    "Okay. Well, the elevator hase. Let''s get it done quickly."


    Yun family has a regr custom-made store with the best services. Taking measurement went by very smoothly. After they choose the style, Yun Ke told Ye Zhizhou to pick up a ready-made casual suit.


    "I still want to return the clothes back." Ye Zhizhou pulled the slightly ufortable clothes on his body. He''s a real otaku, he mainly rely on thefort when wearing a clothes. It felt a bit unusual wearing the casual suit.


    Yun Ke approached the teen and closed their distance. He helped the teen tidying up his cor. In a cannot-be-refused tone, said, "That clothes is too big on you. Just wear this one, we''ll go pick a coat."


    In some asions, Yun Ke will turned back to his overbearing nature. Ye Zhizhou couldn''t do anything about this.


    "Okay." He nodded then took the jacket and put it into Yun Ke arms, turning around and running toward the restroom while saying, "Brother Yun, you help me pick up the coat OK. I need to go to the restroom."


    "Really¡­¡­he run away again." Yun Ke watched the teen run and shook his head. His eyes wearing a hint of unaware doting love.


    Ye Zhizhou slowed down his pace when reaching the corner, letting out a long sigh. Just now Yun Ke looked at him with that kind of deep looks again, it''s a bit nerve-wrecking¡­¡­ When his mind still wondering around, a white figure suddenly rush out from the corner and exactly run to his chest.


    Letting out a groan while leaning on the wall, he gently pushed that person and rubbed his chest, "Don''t rush out like that when you''re turning at a corner. It''s easy to bump into someone."


    "I''m sorry. It''s not on purpose." The white figure immediately spoke after straightened up her body. With a polite manner said, "If you have bruise anywhere, go to the hospital, ok?"


    This voice¡­¡­Bai Li?


    He quickly straightened his body. Finally saw the face of that white figure, he blurted out, "Why are you here?"


    "What?" Bai Li seems puzzled and looked at the exquisite noble-cloth young man. She slightly frowned, "You seems fine. Then I''ll go first. I''m in a hurry." She quickly left without looking back.


    What''s going on? Why the protagonist in such a hurry? What is she up to? She didn''t even bother to put on her gentle mask.


    His eyebrow knitted, he quickly went toward Bai Li direction to follow.


    Bai Li walked very fast, as if someone was chasing after her. Five minutester, she went to the underground parking lot and straight into a middle-age man''s car. They shut the car door and talked for a while, then drove away.


    The parking lot didn''t has a heater. Ye Zhizhou''s nose was red from the cold. After the protagonist left, he took the elevator back to the mall. On his way back, he asked in his mind, "Heaven, did you have any information about that middle-age man?"


    The screen popped up with a densely pack lines on it.


    He quickly browsed through it, and uttered in surprise, "The fourth son of Wen family? The sworn enemy of thete Du Father?" Why the protagonist involved with this man. Also, there''re absolutely no written data about the rtion between protagonist and the Wen family¡­¡­could this is also one of the loophole caused by system''s energy shortage?


    A cheerful ringtone interrupted his thought. He took out his cell and answered, "Hey Brother Yun¡­¡­Un, I just came out from the restroom."


    "Go straight to the parking lot. I''m waiting by the car." Yun Ke voice sounded deep, "The tea test result is out. There really is something in it. And that thing¡­¡­is not good."


    After more than a month, the tea test result finally came out.


    "There''s a new type of drug in it. This drug still doesn''t pass the clinical test yet. It also very minute, so it require more time to trace it." The white hair researcher pushed his sses up, quickly turning the data paper in his hand. "This drug was intended to use for mental illness patient. The oue is good but the side effect is too big. It also caused addiction. Long term used will make patient gradually be more irritable, slower reaction time, and decreasing in memory ability¡­¡­in short there''re too many side effects. So this drug is used for clinical trial only."


    The more Yun Ke listened, the darker his face be. His whole body gave out a frightening pressure, "Xia Yang ate that drug about a month ago. Will there be a problem?"


    "How much did he eat?"


    Aware of the slight miss in Yun Ke''s mood, Ye Zhizhou quickly grab the man''s hands and tried to appease him, he answered, "Only a little and we also immediately went to the hospital that day. The doctor said there''s no problem with me."


    Hand suddenly being covered with the other''s warmth, Yun Ke''s body was stiffened. Although their rtionship had be a lot better, but physical contact is still not that much. At the moment, this conscious kneading hand action was actually making his heart beat faster. He looked at the teen gentle and earnest face. His imposing aura was scattered, his expression also eased down. After hesitating a moment, his impulse finally defeat rationality. He gently open his palm and took the teen slender and fair white hand and hold it tightly, making their finger stick closely.


    "That''s fine." The researcher put down his data, nce at the suddenly calm down and gentle Yun Ke. He kindly asked, "Do you want me to help you report it? Illegal use of drug is a serious crime. This pretty child also got examined like this. That person has apletely bad intention."


    "No need." Yun Ke shook his head while holding Ye Zhizhou hand tighter to prevent him from escaping. Then he said to the researcher, "Director Hu, thank you for your kindness. We want to solve this matter ourselves. You''ve work hard. Good bye."


    "Be careful." The old director waved his hand then picked up his data paper once again, "Next time you have this kind of problem, you can use our facility again. I''ll give you 20% discount."


    "Wait. I still have a question." Ye Zhizhou quickly opened his mouth. "Grandpa Hu, if the drug was consume by someone who suffer insomnia, will there be any side effect?"


    "Insomnia?" The director raised his brow. He exaggeratedly said, "That just the same as inhaling a poison. This drug is simr with a sleeping pill, instantly knocked people out. Children must not y around with this. It''s very harmful for the body."


    Ye Zhizhou quickly shake his head, with a cute smile said, "I''m not nning to use it. Thank you Grandpa Hu. We will leave first. Good bye."


    The old director just wave his hands, not looking at them anymore.


    Once they''re out, Ye Zhizhou took his hands back from Yun Ke''s hold. He rubbed his stomach, "Brother Yun, I''m hungry. Let''s go eat." They left home at down and directly went here after shopping. Now it''s already afternoon, he''s dizzy from hunger.


    The lost warmth in his hand made Yun Ke''s eyes shes with unwillingness, but he soon covered it up. He walked out first and said, "Let''s go. I''ll treat you for a hotpot today."


    Ye Zhizhou beamed up. He quickly catch up with the man.


    [Yun Ke and protagonist love probability has dropped to 35%. Please make persistent effort, Host.]


    The sudden pop out screen scared him to death, almost made him trip and fall t on his face.


    "Eating hotpot be this happy?" Yun Ke instantly hold the teen''s shoulder to steady him. After hesitating a bit, he just simply keep his hand there, holding and leading the teen toward the parking area. "If you really like it, I will take you more to eat itter. Don''t walk too fast."


    Still caught up in his confusion, Ye Zhizhoupletely didn''t notice their current ambiguous posture. He just vaguely nodded his head, his brains filled with questions.


    What happened? Why the love chance suddenly drop? Is it because the protagonist''s drug is too vicious, so Yun Ke loathe her even more? But that''s not right ah. He remember Brother Yang, the assistant, said that the woman probably didn''t put the drug in the tea intentionally. The problem is, where did she actually buy those tea? From this point of view, the love chance not going up is already a good thing. But how could it get lower¡­¡­

 Chapter 8

    A few days after the tea result came out, the new investigation report about the protagonist was send into Yun Ke''s hand.


    "Miss Bai already arrived at Du Residence for a few days. Half a month ago at the first flower showing, she made acquaintance with the youngest grandchild of Wen family, Miss Wenna. Through her, she got to know the fourth son of Wen family, Wen Zhegang. They secretly had been in contact for several times. Besides, Wenna''s mother has a rtive that own a pharmaceuticalpany. The drug muste from that ce."


    "I understand. Keep your eyes on Bai Li. Immediately report if somethinge up." Yun Ke hang up the phone, carefully read the report once again. He frowned while thinking about this.


    In the next room, Ye Zhizhou used his spirit to connect with Yun Ke and listened to the content of the call. He also thinking about this.


    Wen family, pharmaceuticalpany, Du family''s enemy...... From that report, protagonist and Wen family just met few whiles ago. They also didn''t know each other before that. It means, the chance of protagonist deliberately get close to Yun Ke is zero. That car ident and memory loss was just a coincidence. The, the poison tea must came from Wen family after seeing the opportunity through the protagonist.


    The Wen family have hatred toward Du family, so the one that they actually want to harm must be the original character. He remember in the beginning of the story, protagonist and original character rtionship is not that bad. They also hanged out together sometimes. For Wen family to be mistaken about their rtionship was very normal.


    Assuming that the drug was indeed for the original character......


    The protagonist has been in contact with Du father''s enemy, the fourth of Wen family...... thinking of the original plot, this character was only a cannon fodder. Now after getting these clues, Ye Zhizhou was terrified. He couldn''t help but rubbed the sudden chill on his neck.


    If protagonist''s actions in Yun residence was influenced by Wen family, and Wen family will use any method to target the original character, then that n about the car crash meant for Bai Li but hit Yun Ke was highly written by Wen family to frame the original character and forced him out of Yun Ke''s protection!


    Then, the drug was not cause by Bai Li evil intention?


    So the tea is clear, the car ident was also clear, they''re all clear. Everything is all aim for the original character. She didn''t have any rotten intention toward Yun Ke at all!


    But why......he slowly frowned. In the original story, why did the protagonist cooperate with Wen family to harm the original character? Those two didn''t have any conflict of interest ah. Also, before he came to this world, the original character was very dependent and quite fond of the protagonist. There isn''t any hostile situation.


    He dug out the system data once again. Leaving aside the stupid romance thought, he looked at the story plot with a rational cold eyes. Seeking any line that may include Wen family.


    "Here" He stopped scrolling the page, erged a paragraph and carefully read it. Even though in high fever, the protagonist still persist in making the tea for Yun Ke. She was bedridden for six days. The previous info has mentioned that in order to keep the tea fresh, protagonist had to went out and replenish the ingredient every five days. Because of the illness, the replenishment cycle was broken. After not drinking the tea for two days, Yun Ke''s sleep became bad again. Seeing this, the protagonist was very worried. Even though she''s very sick, she still went out to replenish the ingredient.


    There''s a detail here. The first day protagonist went out, she didn''t manage to buy the ingredient. Her face was very pale. Yun Ke thought that was because she''s very worried about him. His heart was touched and became chaos a bit. The next day, she went out early and returned home veryte. Yun Ke was worried and made a temper. Then the protagonist suddenly cried and kept saying sorry. Yun Ke became distress and hugged her for the first time.


    That conversation was also heard by Du Yang who also there. It should be the moment when protagonist found out about the additionalpound in the tea, but because she was afraid of losing Yun Ke, she agreed to cooperate with Wen family. Also from this moment, the timid and introverted character suddenly began to "bully" the protagonist and he always had a "bad luck" to be seen by Yun Ke. Making Yun Ke impression of him became worse and became more cherish toward the protagonist.


    The protagonist gradually gained Yun Ke''s love while the original character slowly being rejected, and then he finally driven out and was force to his death.


    "Ha..." Ye Zhizhou turned the screen off. He couldn''t help but uttered out a bitterugh from all that big drama. A "gentle and kindhearted" protagonist. A quiet and calm, hidden in the dark, Wen family.


    Wonderful, really wonderful.


    That pitiful character''s is a timid and introverted student. He was being smeared with mud, misunderstood, trapped, and finally killed.


    Negative energy was filled his heart, he lied down on the bed. After staring at the ceiling for a while, he finally asked the question that''s been bugging him "Heaven, if I was upying this character body, then where did he go?"


    [The body used for the mission is a contribution of the characters himself. Then he''ll be put into a new world. Please rest assured, host. The original character will have a happy new life.]


    "Happy new life ha......" he mumbled. The one stone that has been pressing his heart had finally lifted. He turned around and hug the pillow, "After Iplete the mission and leave, what will happen to the body?"


    [He will die in a reasonable way.]


    "......the original character, no, Du Yang''s reason to voluntarily contribute his own body......May I know?"


    [Confidential file. Host has no authority to read it.]


    "......"


    [Please try hard toplete the mission, host. Extra effort could improve your authority level.]


    "How many mission do I need to do before I have the authority to read it?"


    [Until the progress bar hasplete.]


    "......" System goodbye!


    His mood had been flipped around. He rubbed his face to rise his spirit. The data was full of holes everywhere.


    There must be a reason why Wen family want to harm him. Wen family has been in festive mood since Du father''s early dead. The next in charge, Du Yun, already passed away years ago. Wen family actually went to a lot of trouble in a roundabout way to avoid Yun Ke just to harm a not fully grown timid child. However he looked at this, it''s very strange.


    Intuition told him that Du Yang surely has something that Wen family afraid of.


    He carefully read the plot over and over but still found nothing. The system data is too one-sided focusing on the love story, and nothing about what''s really happen under it.


    It''s a dead end. He messaged his temple, trying to found clues from another aspect. Suddenly, Director Hu''s face shed in his mind.


    Right, that drug!


    The drug in the tea was provided by Wen family for the original character. That drug side effect are......irritability, slower reaction time, and memory loss......memory loss.


    At this few pointer, his thought cleared up a bit.


    That thing Wen family afraid of should be something in Du Yang''s memory. But what could it be? After he was adopted by Yun Ke at 13 years old, the only ces he ever go are Yun Residence and the school. He also didn''t have any contact with anyone.


    Or could it be something from before that? He''s a bit hesitate thinking about this. In order not to vite Du Yang''s privacy, he didn''t ess his memory from before the adoption. Now......


    With some contemting, he finally clenched his teeth, opened the nked and cover his body. He close his eyes in the darkness, gathering his spiritual energy toward his mind. A blue mass of air representing the memory spread out.


    Happy childhood. Well-known beautiful sister. Gentle and considerate mother. Dignified and reliable father......the memory gradually spread out. His wrinkled brow gradually loosened up. Consciousness sank deeper into the memory.


    Yun Ke finished dealing with the official matter and came out from his study. Thinking for a while, he turned and walked toward Ye Zhizhou''s room.


    He knocked on the door but there''s no answer. He frowned and looked at his watch. It''s only 9 p.m. did Xiao Yang already sleep this early? With some doubt and a bit hesitation, he turned the door handle.


    The door was unlock, he gently opened it.


    The light was still on. There''s a small bulge of nket on the bed.


    He really is sleeping......Yun Ke''s face soft down. He lightly walked toward the bedside and poked the tightly wrapped nked. "Xiao Yang, don''t cover your head when you''re sleeping."


    The ball of nked didn''t move, that person was sleeping really well inside.


    "Really......" he helplessly bent down and pull the cover from the teen''s head.


    Because of this movement, the one inside the nked finally moved and turned his body. His head and shoulder were all exposed. His faced directly buried in the pillow.


    "How could you not even took your clothes off......" he slightly frowned.


    The room was very quiet. Only the teen''s steady breath could be heard. Warm yellow light fell toward the teen''s side face, his eysh cast a faint shadow under it......very adorable. He couldn''t help but reached out his hand to touch.


    Too thin. He thought, but his hand still moved gently toward the jacket on the teen''s body.


    After unbuttoning the jacket, a white shirt was exposed. Probably because of the bad sleeping posture, the white shirt cor slightly pulled open, revealing a delicate corbone and small part of the teen''s chest.


    His heart swayed a little. He quickly moved his sight. Half hugging and half holding up the teen''s body, he carefully removed the jacket.


    The teen''s head moved toward his neck. The warmth breath tickle his Adam''s apple, making his heartbeat speed up a bit.


    He quickly put the jacket away and put the teen back on the bed. He frowned while rubbing his neck. His eyes finally swap toward the teen''s pants...... this pants is cotton, it must be fine to sleep in it......right?


    His heartbeat gradually stabilized.


    He pulled the nked again and cover the teen. He sat by the bedside, quietly looking at the teen''s facial features. After he became thinner, he became really beautiful. Slightly sharp face outline, straight up nose, witty and prettyrge eyes, also......his gaze moved down, slightly halted his breath......also, the always smiling rosy lips, make one want to kiss it up...... obviously the main attractive part is the gentle and beautiful facial features. Combining them together, it also has a young, inexperience and gorgeous feels in it. The Du family''s gorgeous feels.


    "Don''t go......" the sudden sound brought Yun Ke back from his pink fantasy. He grab the teen sudden moving hands and slightly creased his brow.


    "Xiao Yang?"


    It seems the teen suddenly had a nightmare. His body moved around restlessly. His talk gradually became a low wailing. From the corner of his eyes, tears areing out. "Don''t go. Dad, Mom. Don''t go...... Sis, don''t get on that car. No. Don''t go......"


    "Xiao Yang!" seeing the situation was not right, he quickly took the teen into his arms. Patting his cheek to wake him up, "You have a nightmare. Wake up. Xiao Yang, wake up. It''s all right. It''s already in the past."

 Chapter 9

    "Don''t leave me, no......don''t get on that car, sister¡ª¡ª"


    He screamed and was awaken from the vicious heavy memory. Tears are flowing down uncontrobly from his eyes. His body was covered with cold sweat. The original character had always been bearing this kind of heavy emotion by himself...... he couldn''t even see Yun Ke''s anxious eyes in front of him. His mind could only thought that breathing is very painful.


    From child till now, this is the first time he received parents'' caring love and knowing how happy it is as a child. But he also instantly knew how painful to watch your loved ones died ......very painful. It''s so painful that he no longer wish to keep on living.


    Yun Ke saw the sorrow and spiritless eyes on the teen. His heart was clenching tight. He pulled the teen''s head and saw the face full of tears. He kiss the teen''s ear lightly, trying to appease him. "Don''t be afraid. It''s just a dream. It''s all in the past. I''ll stay with you."


    Ye Zhizhou''s soul was gradually back. He couldn''t help but reached out his hand and hold Yun Ke tightly. Yun Ke, don''t you know, you''re Du Yang''sst loved one remained in this world. Why did you wrong him like that, why......


    Tears dropped on Yun Ke''s clothes then prate into it, making a cold sensation on his skin.


    Feeling the teen''s helpless grievance, the doting love in Yun Ke''s heart was overflowing. Forcing him to hold the teen tightly in his embrace and kiss the top of his head lightly.


    "I''m sorry......" he closed his eyes and held the teen even tighter. His low voice was full with guilt. With a trace ofmitment, he carefully said, "Xiao Yang...... I''ll stay with you. Always."


    [Yun Ke and protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 20 %. Please make persistent effort, host.]


    Ye Zhizhou''s eyes was hurting from crying. He struggle a bit from Yun Ke''s tight embrace. Narrowing his read and swollen eyes to see the super close screen on his face. After inhaling the air, he said in his heart, "Heaven, I want to help Du Yang take revenge."


    Silently setting down on the revenge huge event, Ye Zhizhou quickly fall asleep.


    Yun Ke used warm water to clean the teen''s face. He sat on the bedside and looked at the teen for a long time.


    The next day, Ye Zhizhou came alone to Du family old residence in Furong District.


    Following the original memory, he slowly went toward the second floor. Walking toward the end of the hallway and then entering the master bedroom. He opened the rightmost wardrobe. Squatting down, he reached toward the wall and explore away. At the deepest part of the wall, there was a small round ce that sticking out. He couldn''t see whether he found the right one or not. He just press it lightly and retreated. Then he went toward the family picture hanging on the bedhead.


    In the picture there are a very young Du father and Du mother, with face full of smile. In her embrace is a baby Du Yang, a young girl looks like Du Yun stand at her side, curiously looking at her own baby brother.


    A very happy family. And then Wen family destroyed all of it.


    Soon a light sound of fingerprint confirmation was ringing. The family picture slowly slip opened, showing a snow white wall behind it. He stepped forward, pushed his finger on the tiny yellowish area on the wall. Three secondster, the sound of fingerprint confirmation rang again. The concave wall slightly cut open, showing a safe inside.


    This is exactly the location of the thing that caused death to Du Yang''s parents.


    When Du father and Du mother got into the ident, Du Yang was with them. Du mother in order to protect her child was died on the spot. Du Father used hisst breath to tell Du Yang about the safe''s location. Unfortunately, at that time he was still a kid and was very traumatized by that event. His mind sealed this tragic memory as a defense. Then, Du Yun take over Du family business. Wen family also extend their evil w toward her.


    Dark memories rolled back again. He forced his eyes shut and took a deep breath until the memory''s effect was cleared. He stepped forward and pressed the safe''s password.


    The box opened, revealing document files and a small square box inside. He first took the box out, opened it and found a few diamonds and an USB. Didn''t keep on looking, he just put the box inside his pocket. He then took the document and spread the files inside onto the bed. He tapped thepact mirror on his pocket, "Heaven, scan this files for backup."


    Light screen appears and quickly scan the files.


    [Backup scanningpleted.]


    He nodded and re-organize the files back into the safe.


    When he just finished rearrange everything, the locked door''s knob suddenly turned followed by a soft knocking on the door. "Xiao Yang, I heard Uncle Wu said you came. I prepare some dessert, do you want toe out and eat?"


    It''s Bai Li.


    Ye Zhizhou tight nerve slightly rxed. His eyes shining. Dessert? With that additional ingredient, I bet.


    After checking there''s no problem with the room, he took out a photo album from the bedside cab. Then he walked over to open the door. He nodded toward the protagonist and lightly greeted her, "It''s Sister Lili ah. No need for the dessert. Ie to pick up this photo album and just about to leave."


    "You are......Xiao Yang?" Bai Li stared in shock. Looked at him from top to bottom. Her face was stiff. Her voice seems to choke out from the throat. Strange and awkwardly said, "You really are Xiao Yang. I heard Uncle Wu said you lost some weight. But you, how do you be......after you became thin, have we ever met? I think I''ve seen you like this......"


    Ye Zhizhou didn''t want to pay attention at her. He went around her and directly walked outside.


    Bai Li quickly regained her self. Seeing the teen ignored her, her face became uglier. Looking down at her watch, she hurriedly arrange her expression back. With trotting steps, she pulled him while smiling, "Why are you in such a hurry. Let''s rest first and eat something, ok. This is almost noon. How about having lunch here? I haven''t seen you for a long time. I''ve been wondering about you."


    "No." he frowned and shook her hands off. After receiving the original character''s memory, he now tried to avoid those people that hurt original character and couldn''t wait to cut them to pieces. He really couldn''t put on a good face mask.


    The always "gentle and thoughtful" protagonist as if currently possessed by sugar coating glue, stick to him tightly. Her mouth kept saying and begging him to stay. Later she even directly clinging to his waist.


    "What are you doing?!" Ye Zhizhou finally exploded. He ruthlessly tore her hand open, eyes filled with disgust, "Stay away from me."


    Tears quickly formed in Bai Li''s eyes. She slowly retread toward the stairs, choking and sobbing. "Xiao Yang, I know you hate me. I just want you to eat a little. Why do you have to be so harsh on me? Also, also......" she said while turned her gaze, with a look of embarrassment and indignation on her face.


    What is it about? Why the protagonist make this kind of fuss?


    Ye Zhizhou was quickly on alert. He swept the surrounding with his spirit while remained calm and collected. Then he found a familiar energy''s fluctuation gradually approaching the Du residence''s gate¡ª¡ªit''s the spiritual energy of Yun Ke.


    "Xiao Yang, I always thought of you as a little brother. You can''t......" Bai Li wiped her tears and grabbed her front cor, quietly took a nce at her watch. Her tone more pitiful, "Why are you doing this to me? I believe I can''t say sorry to you......"


    The sound of the gate being opened can be heard. Bai Li voice became weaker and sadder, "Before, I only think because you''re still small, so I don''t mind the excessive closeness. But I didn''t expect you...... Xiao Yang......" she suddenly grabbed Ye Zhizhou''s hand and pressed it toward her body and screamed out, "Xiao Yang, what are you doing! You can''t! I only think of you as a brother. Let go of me!"


    Ye Zhizhou just watched her performance quietly. His hand hold Bai Li''s wrist and pulled it to his arms. While the other hand firmly detained her from keep on talking. Then Yun Ke appeared from the door. "Brother Yun, Miss Bai want to harass me." He said and let go the struggling protagonist in his arm and threw her in disgust, "This old woman didn''t even let a minor off. So disgusting."


    "Come on." The dark look on Yun Ke''s face became slightly better after seeing the teen threw the protagonist out. He just coldly nce at the protagonist who fell on the ground. Take a few steps upstairs while pulling the teen to his side. He raised his hand and began to unbutton his jacket. "This cloth was touched by filthy thing. Don''t wear it."


    "Wait. Let me take something from the pocket."


    They both talked intimately without regard of others. Bai Li who fell on the ground was somewhat stunned. How could this be? She had deliberately adjusted the time to show that exact scene to Big brother Yun. Yet big brother Yun''s respond......


    Yun Ke took his own jacket and put it on the teen''s shoulder. He looked at Bai Li and indifferently said, "Miss Bai, you''re fired."


    "No. Big brother Yun, you misunderstand! Xiao Yang is the one who harass me. He has been keep entangling with me and almost push me down. I......"


    "I push you?" Ye Zhizhou sneered at her,ughing as if he just listened to world''s funniest joke. "Miss Bai, my phone can always record sounds. Do you want to hear who is the one entangled with whom just now?"


    Bai Li instantly paled.


    "The next is about the dessert." He tightened the wide jacket on his body. While leaning over toward the protagonist, he stretched out his spiritual energy into the woman''s head. He softly said, "Bai Li, Wen family ship is good?"


    "You......" Bai Li stared in shock. Her face infected with panic strike.


    Yun Ke was very dissatisfied with their very close posture. He frowned and pulled the young man back and tidy up his hair. "Don''t get too close to her. I don''t like it."


    "I don''t like it either." He shrugged and picked up the photo album on the floor, carefully wipe the dust off. He turned to see Yun Ke, "I want to go to a ce. Want to apany me?"


    "Yes." Yun Ke hold his hand and then asked while walking outside, "Are you hungry? Want to have lunch first?"


    "Ok."


    After they left, Bai Li started trembling. She hugged herself in her arms. Then she took out a cellphone and dialed a number. When it connected, she hastily said, "Du Yang just came. I.......he knew. What to do? What to do?"


    ____________


    Du Yang took Yun Ke to a graveyard.


    After ced a bouquet in front of a tombstone, Ye Zhizhou squatted down and quietly cleaned the grave. Yun Ke was by his side. As a consideration, he also stay silent.


    They spent more than an hour before finally leaving. Ye Zhizhou look at the three tombstones that next to each other. He made a solemnmitment in his heart. Du family''s hatred and enemy, he''ll definitely help them get revenge.


    Yun Ke looked at Du Yun''s grave for a long time. Then he turned to hold Du Yang and said with warm voice, "Come on. Next time I''ll apany you to see them again."


    He nodded and followed him out.


    ____________


    Before going to bed, Ye Zhizhou yed the harmonica first. And then he turned off themp, covered himself with nked and closed his eyes. He started focusing on moving his spiritual energy inside protagonist''s head. He moved it toward the memory area and ruthlessly thrust in it.


    Protagonist has lose her memory, right? He''ll just helping her to remember it.


    As for the brutal means that may or may not hurt her brain? Oh, to this "gentle and kindhearted" person, that just silly ne.

 Chapter 10

    Bai Li left Du residence, not leaving any trace. Her expression was very ugly when she left, just like a serious illness patient.


    Ye Zhizhou heard this and raised his eyebrow. He walked upstairs and took out theputer. He used his spiritual force to directly ess the vast data¡ª¡ªthe system energy shortage, the provided info is very one-sided. He want to quickly get thepleted and detailed information. He could only take a dangerous and self-harming method like this.


    Enduring the huge unsorted and outdated data, he finally found the information about Bai family and Bai Li''s fianc¨¦, Yang Wei.


    Yang Wei, same as the system described, was a gentle and kindhearted man. He''s studying at Y country top medical school for a master degree. His family was running a pharmaceutical business. He''s both wealthy and has status. But as an heir, he lived a very frugal life. Most of his money was donated to charities and research purpose. His personality is someone who didn''t like noise. In the middle of this year, he gave up his right for the family inheritance and decided to be a pure doctor and schr only. Hearing about this news, protagonist soon flew back home.


    Ye Zhizhou disconnected the data, wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled. He found the main reason why the protagonist actually came home. He also found out about her background history and why Yun Ke couldn''t find any trace of her.


    He Fangfei, Bai Li''s mother, has passions for brand-names and variety of jewelry. She has been using her status as future mother-inw of Yang family''s heir proudly. What''s interesting is, in that huge stream of data, he ''see'' a lot of record of HeFangfei open house ount. However, her ount was not shared with Bai father, rather it''s with HeFangfei distant cousin, He Ze.


    He Ze, the illegitimate child of the current master of He family. He was merciless and ruthless. When he just came to He family, he who was 8 years younger than He Fangfei, received her care. On the surface, he was a jewels businessman. But he also secretly run a casino, background a bit dark.


    The data said that this was the protagonist''s homing trip. In fact, the protagonist was running back to avoid the engagement at the end of the year. To prevent Yang family to find her, she asked He Ze to help hiding her whereabouts.


    The un-favored side''s daughter and the main''s illegitimate son that being kept under the table. Love between brother and sister, or older female cousin and younger male cousin......really a good drama. Their affair was very bold, not afraid and not minding Bai family will found out at all. He Fangfei even constantly use visiting parents'' house as an excuse and took Bai Li and He Ze to go on holiday together. Just like a happy three people family.


    Unaware whether the protagonist know about her mother and uncle rtionship or not.


    Knowing what he want to know, Ye Zhizhou smiled joyfully. He tap the mirror and asked, "Your mission for me is to prevent the protagonist''s harem. That''s about her original marriage right?


    [Please make sure the protagonist is kept away from all the men mentioned in the information provided by system.]


    He raised his brow, "Also from the other one?"


    [Yes.]


    "Very well." He turned theputer off and stretched his numb waist. Slightly narrowed his eyes, "It''s time to solve this world''s mission." Before, he naively thought that he''ll only use a gentle way to do this mission. He never thought that he''ll cut off the protagonist''s way out. And now...... good drama has begun.


    Soon, the New Year''s party arrived.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the mirror and see the borate dress on his body that make himself look more extravagant and elegant. He smiled, and then turned around walking toward the door withrge stride. These past few days, he had done all he could do. Now, it''s time to get the result.


    The party venue is not that far from Yun residence. It only take half an hour by car. Yun Ke worried that Ye Zhizhou won''t eat well at the party, so he took him to a family private restaurant to fill their stomach first.


    They just came out from the restaurant when suddenly Ye Zhizhou felt his spiritual energy inside the protagonist''s head was moved. He stopped and look sideways in puzzled and see Yun Ke walked over.


    At 7 p.m. the party began on time. Gorgeous and spacious hallway in the fragrant cloth all over it, just like a movie. High ss groups ofpany representative walking back and forth. The heads of various departments were talking andughing together. The atmosphere was very warm.


    Ye Zhizhou appearance with Yun Ke by his side attract everyone attention. Employees started gossiping, shareholders were pondering. Du family''spany remaining managers are some excited and some drop faces.


    In contrast with the worried Yun Ke, Ye Zhizhou performance was excellent¡ª¡ªhe courteously talked with others. In the face ofpliment, he kept calm and modest. By the vague provocation, he easily resolved them. As if it''s not the first time he attended this kind of party.


    Looking at this youngster, Yun Ke''s looks became even gentler, with a faint pampering love in his eyes and smiling expression. The employees and shareholders of Yun Yuan Company were all stunned. In all those years they worked for thepany, it''s the first time they saw the smiling and gentle looks on their boss. It''s not just the calm before the storm, right?


    A round of greeting ended smoothly. Yun Ke was drag away by his partners. Ye Zhizhou was holding a fruit juice walking toward the corner of the longue to sit down. He looked around indistinctly at Wen family representatives group. Wen family is in fashion (clothing) business and was a part of Du family who is in the same line. After Du family business was taken over by Yun Ke, they use their previous friendship with Du family to join financially and catch up with Yun family real estate business.


    His mouth made a thin smile, unconsciously drift away. This Wen family began to rely on Du family''s fortune after Du family raise from the pit. And now they''re stepping on Du family to catch on with Yun family''s big ship. It could be said that they used Du family thoroughly. Also me the blind Du family grandfather, for the sake of his fellow townsman, he offer them shelter under his wing and also help them start the fashion business.


    After Du father took charge of the family business, he had always in close rtion with Wen''s younger generation. They use brotherly friendship on the outside. Butter Wen family stole Du family confidential product design and published it first. After Du father found out, he was both rmed and angry. Soon he collected the evidences of Wen family stealing business and was about to report them. The result was toote to take action. In a rouge street fighting, he and his wife was ''innocently'' got involved and died.


    Thinking of the system''s provided data about the fourth of Wen family and Du father rtion, he couldn''t help but coldly snorted. Du father took Wen people as brothers. And what Wen family do? Directly sign the dead on Du father''s head. Those thankless bastards!


    The secret design that was stolen by Wen family was actually a present for Du Yun and Du Yang, made by Du mother. It divided into girls'' clothing series and children''s clothing series. She died when the children series was only half done. She carefully lock it inside the bedroom safe. Because they want it as a pleasant surprise for their children, Du father and Du mother never told anyone about the existence of these designs, except to some of Wen people who he treat as a brother......


    Du father died when Du Yun was only 19 years old. She put her school on hold and returned home to take over the family business. She has been studying outside the country before, so she didn''t know about the dispute between Du and Wen family. After she stabilized the family business, for the previous friendship, she still help Wen family to cope with their new product''s issues. Later in an interview she also publicly said that the new series of Wen family clothing set was very ingenious, she really like it......


    His mind is still in hideous mess trying to put out the truth together, when he saw those Wen family representatives was surrounding Yun Ke. He smiled deeply.


    "Young master. I''ve been looking for you."


    The familiar simple and honest voice was heard in front of him. He withdraw his gaze and looked sideway. He squinted his eyes and smiled cutely, "It''s Uncle Li ah. Why did you looking for me?


    Li Qun, Du Yang''s driver arranged by Yun family. He has been working for Yun family for more than 20 years. His son is Yun Ke''s driver now. He was deeply trust by Yun Ke.


    After using his spirit to suffer damage and dig through those material that might take years to unfold. He could connect most of the fact and realized one thing ¡ª¡ª there''s a traitor inside Yun residence.


    Du Yun''s car ident is too strange. The fact that the original character was also in the car when it happen and they both are leaving from Yun residence are already too much of a coincidence. The most important thing is why would Wen family is so sure that the protagonist could make Du Yang drink that poison tea?


    It could only have one possibility. That is someone in Yun residence who saw Du Yang was very dependent on the protagonist and informed it to Wen family.


    There''re only few people in Yun residence. Uncle Fu was impossible. Wu Ma has no qualification. It has to be someone who can always follow Du Yang''s at all times. The only one left is only Li Qun, and he also happened to be the driver when Du Yun had the ident.


    Too suspicious.


    The gray haired Li Qun swayed a bit after seeing his smile. He said with pleasant face, "Young master became even more handsome after losing some weight."


    "Really?" the smile on his face became bigger. He slightly leaned over and whispered, "Uncle Li, take a look carefully. Didn''t my handsomeness has a bit resemnce with my sister beauty? I also hear Wu Ma said that Brother Xiao Li* also like my sister at that time."


    {* Uncle Li''s son. Name still unknown. ''Xiao'' indicated someone younger in Li family}


    Li Qun didn''t know why he felt some chills inside the teen''s smile. He couldn''t help but take a step back. He used his smile to cover his stiffness. "Your Wu Ma just talk nonsense. Miss Yun was a very noble person. That brat wouldn''t dare to think about it."


    "I think Brother Xiao Li is also very good. He''s not a brat at all." A dark light shes in his eyes. His spiritual energy followed his voice and drilled into Li Quan''s head. He stood straight, kept on pretending to be an innocent youth, "Uncle Li, you still didn''t say the reason you''re looking for me, ne. Do you want me to call Brother Yun for you?


    "No, it''s not that. I came to find you, young master." Li Qun shook his head. He still assured him with sincerity appearance, "The Master worried that you didn''t eat well at the party. Let Wu Ma cooked a soup and send it over just now. I''m afraid that young master is hungry, so I just came regardless of the situation."


    Yun Ke indeed was worried that he''s not eating well. But telling Wu Ma to make soup and deliver it like this is so inconvenient, he won''t do that. Even though his heart had this kind of thinking, but his face still showed a surprised look. He put down the juice and said, "Soup? Brother Yun really know me. These party didn''t have any dessert besides wines. Nothing warm either. I''m dead tired."


    "The soup is on the car. There are many people who will see here, no good. I didn''t brought it with me. Young master, you didn''t mind having it on the car, right?''


    On the car? His eyes shed and thenughed meaningfully, "I don''t mind. Of course I don''t mind." Such a good handle to carry this. But he didn''t have time to be happy. He looked back toward the hallway and see Yun Ke had been surrounded by Wen family representatives. He pursed up his lip, no longer looking back and followed Li Qun outside.


    Yun Ke seems to feels something at the entrance and looked at there, but his line of sight quickly blocked by Wen family representatives, "Mr. Yun, you just said you really willing to give this big project to Wen family, right? About this, we''re really grateful to you."


    His mood became more impatient. He withdraw his gaze and coldly said, "The project matter will be discussed with yourpanyter. I still have something to do. Excuse me." Then he tookrge steps toward the rest area where Ye Zhizhou was before. He thought about the report from few days ago. His aura became colder and colder. A small fish like Wen family dare to extend their ws on Xiao Yang''s head. Big fortune project? No, this is of course his meticulous preparation to press Wen family to death.

 Chapter 11

    The scenery outside the window was bing more and more unfamiliar. Ye Zhizhou got up from the backseat and leaned forward to Li Qun''s ear and faintly asked, "Uncle Li, where do you want to take me?"


    Li Qun got surprised and suddenly hit the break. After stabilizing his body, he quickly locked the door. He turned back and stared at the teen, "You, you''re not fainted? Didn''t you drink the soup?"


    "I did." He said with a smile. He looked straight at Li Qun''s eyes, his spirit force slowly spinning inside Li Qun''s body. "But in my dream my sister told me not to sleep, so I woke up."


    "Sis, sister?" Li Qun''s face became pale. He clenched at the steering wheel and trembled up, eyes filled with terror. Then with a fierce tone said, "Young Master, don''t me me. It''s you......." After saying only half of it, his head was suddenly hurting. His expression became dull and finally turned empty.


    Recovered his spiritual energy back again, Ye Zhizhou then messed up his clothes and hair. While holding his own clothes with his hands, he turned on the car recorder and quickly enter his acting mode, panicky said, "Uncle Li, what are you doing? Where do you want to take me?"


    Li Qun''s dull expression changed and infected with malice. He rushed to grab him, tie his legs with a necktie and use some thread to wrap his hands. Fiercely said, "I advise you not to do some useless struggle and just be obedient. Don''t worry, I won''t hurt you. Uncle Li will give you a happiness."


    Ye Zhizhou kept wiggling and struggled a bit. His mouth kept spouting panicky strike but his face that was covered by shadow waspletely calm.


    _____________


    Party hall, lounge corner.


    Yang Zhi (Mr. Assistant) was talking to four clients, helplessly looked at the frowned-face Yun Ke. He consoled, "Boss, Xiao Yang must be sleepy and returned home to sleep. He also has Uncle Li to take him. It''s nothing."


    "He usually won''t sleep this early." Yun Ke still frowned with some worry in his eyes, "I''m afraid his body is unwell but endured it and didn''t tell me." His mind still not relieved. He took his phone and dial Li Qun''s number, ready to ask the details.


    Yang Zhi could only sighed seeing this, ept his misfortune and excuse his self.


    The call got answered by the machine. He held the phone tightly in his hand.Somehow there''s some uneasy feeling crawling inside his heart. He quickly called Ye Zhizhou''s phone, no longer mind about the noise.


    The phone didn''t switch off but there''s no one answering it.


    Wrong.


    He stood up and directly went outside. Xiao Yang could text him about his early leave and Li Qun never turn off his phone. The anxiety in his heart became bigger and bigger. He always think that he''s been ignoring some important thing.


    The phone suddenly rang. The familiar name on the screen made him stop his urgent pace. After taking a deep breath andughing at his blind nervousness, he picked the phone and warmly said, "Xiao Yang, are you at home yet? I don''t mean to disturb you. You......"


    "Excuse me, is this Du Yang''s family?"


    Unfamiliar voice apanied by a noisy background burst into his ear. He hardly suppressed the uneasiness and the tensing in his forehead. His fingers moved nervously, and then with a bit shaking tone, "I am. You are......"


    "Here is the 2nd line on the ring road......car ident......one man died on the spot......into the hospital......please......"


    He couldn''t clearly hear what the other person said because of the noise. But from the partial news, his body instantly tense up. His pulse throbbed violently, making a painful pang.


    Xiao Yang......Xiao Yang!


    ______________


    Ye Zhizhou''s head was covered with blood. When he first arrived in the hospital, the doctor and nurse almost think he couldn''t live much longer. But it turned out just a false rm. The blood on his body was actually not his own. He only has a minor injury on his forehead.


    "You could be considered very lucky ah. Such a tragic car ident and you actually ended up with only a cut on your forehead." The traffic police who deal with the ident sighed. Seeing his lower head and frightened face, he quickly appeased, "Your family wille soon. Don''t be afraid. How about you eat something? Uncle will treat you."


    Ye Zhizhou shook his head, wrap his body with his own hands, softly said, "I want to report."


    "What?" The traffic police uncle couldn''t hear him clearly.


    "I want to make a report" he looked up. His face was covered with a look of feared and scared. His hand clenched his body tightly. His shirt''s cuff idently rolled up, showing a bruised on his wrist left by the binding. "It''s not a car ident. Uncle Li want to harm me. He said he''ll kill me and already kidnapped Sister Lili, and then she''ll take the me for the crime." He said while shrank in fright and use more force to hold his body. So frightened and kept saying incoherently, "also sister, he killed sister......where''s Brother Yun? I don''t want to be here......I want to go home......"


    The traffic police uncle was stunned by this info. Realized that this is not simple matter, he quickly called to inform his superior.


    Yun Ke rushed to the hospital. He followed the guidelines and came to the waiting area on the first floor. He looked at the shrunken Ye Zhizhou who was being surrounded on the corner. His heart clenched fiercely at once. Dashing in few steps and hold the young man into his arms. Repeatedly checked for any injury and said with unsteady tone, "Xiao Yang, don''t be afraid. It''s all right. It''s all right."


    Feeling the familiar scent, Ye Zhizhou moved lightly and released his own hand from his body and clenched into Yun Ke''s clothes. His body unconsciously trembling, "Brother Yun......"


    "I''m here. I''m here." Seeing him like this, Yun Ke''s chest became even more painful. He constantly kissed the boy''s forehead. His hand patted his back reassuringly. "It''s nothing. You''re already safe. Don''t be afraid."


    With the Interpol colleague came over, the traffic police uncle was a bit embarrassed and cough awkwardly. He step forward and asked, "Excuse me. Are you Mr. Yun who''s talking to me before? I hear about the situation a little bit......"


    Yun Ke nced at them and nodded his head as a greeting. His hand never stop patting andforting the boy. While whisperingfort in low voice, he quickly put his own jacket to wrap the young man in his arms, not letting his neck or head to be seen by others. After doing this, he looked at the other two and answered, "Yes, it''s me. What is the situation?"


    The Interpol officer was more serious than the police uncle. With professional tone, he said, "ording to clues provided by Mr. Du, 10 km from where the car crash urred, we found a warehouse and an unconscious Ms. Bai inside. In addition, from the car record box, Li Qun was suspected for intentional murder. Because the suspect was already dead, we would like to ask some questions to Mr. Du about the situation."


    Car ident, kidnapped Bai Li, murder. These words being put together made Yun Ke face sank down. His whole body covered with coldness. Ye Zhizhou moved worriedly. Yun Ke quickly restrained his mood. While still appeasing the boy''s back, he said to the police, "Xiao Yang is in a bad state now. Not fit for questioning. Sorry."


    The two polices/officers knew the condition and they also fear the current look on Yun Ke''s face and his cannot-be-refused manner. After looking at each other, they turned around and left to investigate another''s trail.


    Ye Zhizhou saw the police/officer walked away from the corner of his eyes. Then buried his face deeper in Yun Ke''s chest, his lip slightly hooks up.


    This matter has already been this big. This time who don''t want to escape?


    After a shallow sleptter, Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes in a daze and found himself already sleeping in a single ward room. His body felt very refresh, it''s clear he was carefully taken care by someone.


    "Waking up?" A familiar voice heard from the bedside. Slightly turning his head, he saw the other approach him with a cup of warm water. "Come, drink some water."


    His throat indeed felt a bit painful, he obediently drank two mouthful of water and coughed. "Brother Yun, Uncle Li is......"


    "Don''t mind him." Yun Ke''s eyes quickly infected with murderous intent. His hand holding the cup was clenched tightly. Ye Zhizhou instantly sobered up. His remaining words got choke down in his throat. Feeling a bit stupid, he asked in his heart, "Heaven, Did an attack mode of spiritual force just shown from Yun Ke''s body? Isn''t it? But this world doesn''t have spiritual force, right?


    The system remained silent.


    You have a problem! Ye Zhizhou marked the system with big question mark in his heart.


    Yun Ke saw the teen looked a bit distracted after the interruption. He thought the teen was scared, so he quickly rxed his expression and kissed the teen ''eyes. With gentle tone said, "Sorry. I didn''t take good care of you. I''ll solve the matter. You just take a good rest."


    But my revenge project just about to start ah...... wait, where did you kiss? Are you blind! You want to kiss then just kiss! We''re both man, you have a problem you know!


    He raised his hand to cover his eyes. Brain filled with junk lines circling around.


    Yun Ke was amused by his reaction. Although a bit untimely, he couldn''t help but hold the teen in his arms and kissed the back of his hand, saying, "Xiao Yang, let me take care of you, ok."


    The back of his hands felt tingly, as if a bug is crawling over. He felt electrocuted and put back his nket again, ufortably struggling a bit. His brain became more stupid. In his heart he madly poke system, "Heaven, why I feel there''s something a bit wrong with Yun Ke. His gaze gave me an electric shock. I do not dare to look at him at all."


    The system is still silent.


    "Xiao Yang......" Yun Ke dragged him back into his arms. Helplessly said, "Don''t avoid me, ok? I just can''t stand losing you......"


    Ye Zhizhou''s face was stiff while screaming in his heart, "Heaven! Your family male lead is mad! Why would he say this easy to misunderstand words!"


    [Male lead and protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 15%, please make persistent efforts, Host. Also, the male lead is not my family.]


    Heaven you bastard!


    "I won''t force you." Yun Ke saw the teen always turning his head refused to look at him. His eyes infected with sadness, but instantly became firm. "Xiao Yang, I''ll wait until you can ept me."


    Ye Zhizhou mind was running <b>grass mud horse</b>*, "Is it what I think it is? Really? Male lead has bent down? Also he like me?"


    <i>(*have the same pronouncement with the word means "f*** your mother". It''s basically a cursed word)</i>


    [Male lead and protagonist love probability has dropped to 10%, please make persistent efforts, Host]


    <b>Nima</b><b>!* </b>Really bent ah! This is irrational!


    <i>(*homophonic with word means "your mother!". It seems chinese swear word usually involve family member.)</i>


    "Xiao Yang, I......"


    "Wait!" Ye Zhizhou quickly turned his head to interrupt Yun Ke''s words, afraid he would keep going on and make that curse love probability directly down to zero. He need to think about it. "I am a little dizzy, want to rest......"


    His words not finished yet when the door suddenly pushed open. Bai Li shrieked loudly, "Du Yang! You''re shameless! No wonder you had been peculiar with me before. You also like Big Brother Yun, right? You also seduce him. You''re disgusting evil!"


    [Male lead and protagonist love probability has dropped to 0%. Congrattions Host for pulling out the first soul g. Please make persistent efforts.]


    The notification he always wait almost poke him on the face. He desperately looked for the soul g above protagonist''s head and saw it slowed down and gradually disappear. His heart didn''t have the happiness ofpleting half of the mission at all.


    This world......is totally not good.

 Chapter 12

    Bai Li''s current state was very bad. Unkempt hair, deathly white face, a big and loose patient gown on her body, and a purple mark left by the IV at the back of her hand. She look like a madness, not a single trace of her former gentle and graceful self could be seen.


    "Du Yang, I hope you die!"


    Yun Ke''s face sank. He put Ye Zhizhou back into the nket then got up to block the flushed Bai Li. With ice cold eyes he said, "Miss Bai, please get out."


    "Big brother Yun, you were cheated by him!" Bai Li screamed out and grab his arms, hastily said, "Big brother Yun, he''s a liar! His timid and introverted looks are just a pretence. You don''t know, he secretly threatened Wen--"


    A huge amount of spiritual force instantly unfolded and wrapped up the whole ward. Ye Zhizhou moved his nket and sat up, looking straight at Bai Li and smiled, "Threaten who? Wen family? You meant when I sent that children''s cloth designs to the Wen''s fourth, right?" He got out from the bed and walked behind Yun Ke and grabbed Bai Li''s hands, innocently said, "Sister Lili, don''t misunderstand. That design was my mother''s left remnant. I heard that Uncle Wen and my parents had a good rtionship. I just sent it to him to ask what time the works will begin. By the way, Sister Lili, how did you know about me sending something to Wen family?"


    As if her brain got needle thrusting in it, Bai Li''s forehead oozed cold sweats. Her hand was trembling, but didn''t have any power to pull it back. "That, that I unintentionally found......" she said while rigidly staring at Ye Zhizhou. Suddenly her tone changed, "You want to harm me. Wen family also want to harm me. Just you wait. I''ll let my uncle kill all of you."


    Two young polices suddenly charged into the ward and stopped in front of Bai Li. With stern voice said, "Bai Li, ording to the car''s record on Li Qun''s speech, we suspected you coborated with the suspect to do an intentional murder crime. Pleasee with us."


    From victim turned into a stupid aplice with no IQ. This is also the plot''s great turn. After hearing the car record''s content, the young polices didn''t look awkward (?).


    Bai Li kept struggling while being dragged away.


    The ward became calm again. Yun Ke turned and looked deeply at Ye Zhizhou. He caress the teen''s sticky forehead, eyes filled with some thought, "that recent event in the room......and the daily instrumental sound that make me sleep, also Li Qun admitted guilt in the record......is that your doing?


    Ye Zhizhou''s joy in seeing Bai Li''s end instantly turned into a startled, stiffness and aplete loss. Yun Ke was aware of his spiritual force. Is he awakened? Is, Isn''t the spiritual force only arise after a long time of evolution? Yun Ke, this old antiques......also those attack type of his spiritual force before......


    "I guess right?" Sensing his stiffness, Yun Ke just smiled. Suddenly he lowered his head and kissed the teen''s lips. He softly said while still capturing his lips, "Xiao Yang, I said I''ll take care of you......regardless what kind of person you are. Don''t be afraid." Light peppermint fragrance came through, the warm touch on his lips and the faint gentleness, a pair of beautiful amber eyes that was slightly closed. His shoulder was held and then his body was moved into a strong warm embrace.


    How, how could it, how could he kiss a rtive? Shouldn''t he afraid of the consequence? Shouldn''t he lock up to study? What is this situation?!


    "Xiao Yang, open your mouth."


    "Yun......mmph."


    His lips and teeth were pried open, his tongue was entangled, and his jaw was gently licked, bringing a trace of sweet trembling on his body. He want to turn his head to get rid of this man''s tortured intimacy, but the back of his head was suddenly being held. The entanglement became more intense.


    "Brother Yun......" his hands pushed in panic, but unfortunately his body doesn''t live up to his expectation and became soft and powerless.


    After a good while, Yun Ke retreated in satisfaction. Caress the teen''s back to help him breath smoothly. Voice filled with pleasure, "Next time remember to breathe through your nose, ok?"


    "There, there''s a next time?" Ye Zhizhou stern voice asked in erratic tone and destroyed the mood. He pushed the man in annoyance and firmly wiped his moisten lips with his sleeve. "Don''t you need to ask me?" Hateful. He actually didn''t hate this kiss! There''s absolutely a problem with this world!


    Yun Ke looked at him with smile. He thoughtfully asked, "Hungry? I told Yang Zhi to buy a porridge. It''s still warm."


    "Yun Ke!" Ye Zhizhou felt he''s about to blow up.


    "I do have a lot of questions to ask." Yun Ke came forward and hold his shoulder, soothing his sudden irritability. "But I don''t want to force you. Wen family, car ident, Li Qun, Bai Li......also about a design you just mentioned. I''ve been checking and found something, but it seems still far from what you had. Xiao Yang, this, about your......ability, you want to tell me?"


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the gentle eyes. He opened his mouth yet nothing came out. Due to anxiety and decreasing on his sudden outburst, he sat on the bed in helplessness. Details about all kind of interaction he had with Yun Ke rolled around in his brains. After a while, he finally made up his mind. Raise his head in certain, "I tell you." This man can be trusted. He''s very confident now, but with Yun Ke''s help, taking revenge will be much easier.


    They sat side by side on the bed. One slowly talked, one quietly listened.


    Obviously the details is not that much, but they spent more than an hour talking about this. He drink the water to moisten his dry throat, then went to the bathroom to get the USB from his dirty pants and gave it to Yun Ke. "This. Inside, there''s enough to break Wen family."


    Yun Ke took and touch it for a while. Then he suddenly got up and hold the teen and rubbed his hair, slightly sigh, "Xiao Yang. It''s been hard for you."


    "Not hard." He didn''t resist this hug but didn''t cater with it either. Getting those things is really not hard.


    "I''ll deal with the rest." Yun Ke released him, a cold light shed in his eyes. "Wen family will pay the price."


    After tucked in the sleeping young man, Yun Ke carefully left the ward. His gentle and calm face suddenly turned cold and stern. The whole body possessed an imposing aura, pressured anyone to not dare to lift their head. Three humans'' life, close to ten years of waiting. Just wait Wen family. Just wait Wen Zhegang!


    "Bo, Boss......" Yang Zhi who''s standing by the door got scared by the sudden violent atmosphere. He stammered, "The car is ready, and the things you''ve mentioned is also ready."


    "To the police." He slightly calmed his mood, and walked outside withrge strides and a dark expression on his eyes. Xiao Yang did very well, but not enough. Far than enough.


    At the ward, Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes. Touched his phone on the side of the bed to search for the unfamiliar mail--the soul g has disappeared. The protagonist is in the verge of copse. It''s time to pull another move.


    Yang Wei received the unfamiliar mail when he''s having breakfast. Saw it came from domestic mail, he smiled, thinking it probably from his upset fianc¨¦e who finally calm down. However, as soon he finish reading the first line of the mail, the idea waspletely kicked out of his mind, smile quickly faded away.


    In order to escape the engagement, she''s been hiding in the country, then got into a car ident and lost her memory. Later stalked the man who save her and was driven away. She even want to murder the benefactor''s younger brother. Now she''s being suspected of intentional injury crime and detained by the police.


    That thousand words has describe apletely unfamiliar Bai Li. There''re also a few photographs at the end of the mail. He opened them one by one, heart is getting colder and colder.


    There''s few pages of Bai Li and He Fangfei''s chat records. They wantonly criticize him for foolishly gave up his inheritance''s right. They also made n on how to escape the engagement ceremony and removed her engagement in case she found a man with more ''ambition'' than him.


    Bai Li''s number and writing style he couldn''t recognize, also in some of the chats, Bai Li and her mother used nicknames only they both know......Yang Wei felt hended into a huge lie. His fianc¨¦e always been gentle and considerate in front of him, but these......


    The chaos onlyst a moment. He quickly regain his soul back, thinking of all possible loopholes in the mail. Then he finally calm down. He took out his phone and called He Fangfei.


    Two minutester, the phone hanged up. He leaned back again. After few months not having contact with his fianc¨¦e, Yang Wei finally had to admit perhaps travelling abroad was only Bai Li''s excuse to deceive him.


    More than ten years of feelings. He''s not willing to doubt Bai Li, but when he received the news in the afternoon, he felt stupid. He couldn''t find it. He really couldn''t find the information about Bai Li''s return home info and also her whereabouts within the country.


    ......the spection in the mail is all came true.


    He sat back in front of theputer and opened the mail once again. His handsome face filled with serious and heavy feeling. One by one he looked at it again carefully, then finally decided--what''s the truth in the end, he need to personally go confirm it.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the screen''s notification and slightly raised his eyebrow, "this genuine fianc¨¦ has a really deep feeling for the protagonist, ah. Looked at this person''s strength, the love probability has only dropped by 2%."


    [Please make persistent efforts, Host.]


    His eyes shed, knocking on the mirror and faintly said, "Heaven ah, I have a lot of problems here. Only you can answer me. How was it? Want to have a frank dialogue?"


    The screen shed then disappeared.


    "y dead again?"


    The system remains silent.


    Ten minutester, sure that he won''t get a response, Ye Zhizhou clench the mirror tightly. With gritted teeth said, "Just wait, sooner orter you''ll ask me.


    Thepact mirror suddenly shook. The TV in the ward automatically turned on. The screen jumped into a local news channel.


    "Recently, Wen brocade clothing was suddenly burst with giarism scandal. The boss, Wen Fuqiang, was suspected of stealing business secret and do unfairpetition, therefor was legally detained......"


    Ye Zhizhou''s attention was immediately attract by the news content. He was somewhat amazed by Yun Ke''s speed. It''s only been ten hours since he gave that thing to Yun Ke. The current in-power of Wen family was already arrested?


    This work efficiency is......really high.


    But it was proved that he was too early to be surprised.


    A few dayster, Wen family continuously appear on media. Tax evasion, substituting shady goods, oppressing the staff......and all various scandal of Wen people. The eldest son was stealing public money. The second daughter got pregnant before married and be a third concubine of some man. The third son was a drug addict*. The fourth son was suspected to buy/use/kill with poison in the tea and already detain by the police...... in just a few days, Wen familypletely wiped out.


    {T/N: the * was written in the raw. I guess it''s get censored. my guess is that he was OD}


    However, this is still not the end. Next is the turn of Wen family inws. First is the clear ount of the one who''s providing drug for the protagonist, Sun family. Then Illegal use of drug, selling fake drugs, illegal drug smuggling......these big piles of criminal charges was enough to make Sun family sit to the ground.


    Ye Zhizhoupletely ignorant. In his n, to actually break down Wen family is not a short process. After all, it involved three human''s life and a long time giarism case...... And now, all of this, Yun Ke aplished it in a few days. Also along the way, the whole Wen family''s rtives are all down ......really......my brother is so awesome.

 Chapter 13

    A few dayster, Ye Zhizhou was discharged from the hospital. Yun Ke who disappeared for several days finally showed up.


    "Xiao Yang." He said while taking a few step forward and hold the young man into his arms, burying his head in the teen''s body fragrance and kissing his earlobe. "I think I could''t leave you anymore."


    Unfortunately, Ye Zhizhou''s sensitive spot is exactly his earlobe. His face instantly flushed, he pushed the man away resentfully. Secretly hate his own self. "Good talk. Don''t randomly hug me!"


    Yun Ke loosened up his strength and touched the teen''s hair with a smile. "Very lively. It seems these past few days you rest pretty well."


    He turned his head away from the man''s hand, angrily turned and continue packing up his clothes. Since the confession, Yun Ke''s pleading talk gradually grew day by day. His cold and indifferent setting was lost thoroughly! At the time when they didn''t actually meet was still okay. Sending text message, he could pretend not seen it. Making phone call, he could also not pick it up. But now to see him face to face¡­¡­and also that kind of break-the-rules face! The lethality has escted, simply could not carry on!


    Yun Ke looked at him walking back and forth packing stuff with a loving eyes and asionally helped him out. The reward after getting rolled eyes made him lower his head and chuckled. Once again he came forward and held the young man into his embrace, touch his hair whorl, "Xiao Yang. Just like this is already good. To have someone by my side, could love him dearly, protect him, and see his lively looks every day. Really good."


    The delight in his tone is very obvious, made Ye Zhizhou resisting hand stopped. He angrily pinched himself, in heart silently disdain his ownck of integrity. This gentle and content look on Yun Ke really made anyone couldn''t refuse ah¡­¡­could it be he will be bent?


    ¡­¡­cannot!


    Returning back home, they have a warm and awkward lunch. Yun Ke stopped Ye Zhizhou who''s running upstairs to avoid his desirous looks. "Wen Zhegang want to see you. You want to meet him?"


    Wen Zhegang? Ye Zhizhou quickly get into his revenge mode. He enthusiastically nodded. He had want to meet this scourge for a long time. Although the big part of hatred already taken care by the powerful Yun Ke, but he didn''t mind to give the other a little plus something.


    Wen Zhegang is a rich businessman, but after a few days of interrogation, he could see the man was haggard down with the naked eyes. Ye Zhizhou went inside. When he just slightly looked up, he could see his ce. Just like an old friend greeting, "You came."


    "I should''vee earlier." Ye Zhizhou sat down across him. Looked around the interrogation room, and he said, "How is the environment here? You''re used to it?"


    Yun Ke didn''t follow in. Facing this much younger and weak teenager, Wen Zhegang just rxed. Hearing what the boy said, heugh, lift up his cuffed hands and said, "Do you think I''m used to it?"


    "Will be used to it." He said. Looking up and down at him, then lightlyugh, "Seeing you look like this, my father was blind to ever treat you as his brother. Obviously not the same level at all."


    Wen family looks inferior. Fat and ck. Dressed like tramp. Wearing good cloth looks like newly rich. And all the mentioned above with Du family''s is two extreme opposite.


    Wen Zhegang''s smiling face sank down. His looks is his weakness, and Du father''s looks made this thing worse. Since childhood, he already heard too many words of how he and Du father is not equal. His mentality had long been distorted.


    "You don''t look like your father at all." He said sinisterly, staring at the delicate and pretty face of Ye Zhizhou. Looking like a poisonous snake said, "I still quite like your sister. That looks. Indeed making anyone wantonly look at her and get excited."


    Ye Zhizhou eyes turned sharp and then quickly vanish, didn''t follow his thought. He leaned forward and whispered, "I heard you die not pleading guilty? You don''t know, do you? The illegitimate child you secretly sent abroad already got drug addiction. Ruined."


    "Du Yang!" Wen Zhegang instantly in rage and struggling to get up. Eyes full with murderous intent.


    "And that beloved daughter of yours." He looked at the other''s murderous eyes and leisurely leaned back to his chair. "The moment you get your foot inside the police station, her feet immediately ran away with some coal boss. She also swept away your secret hidden money. How was it? Happy? Your daughter is very clever, ne.


    Wen Zhegang''s breath became coarse and heavy. Eyes suddenly got violent, obviously angry. "I looked down on you, bastard!"


    "Not as good as you." The spiritual force has prated into the man''s brain along with the speech just now. Mission aplish. He got up and ready to leave, thinking a bit and then kindly said, "I received some news beforeing here, it seems that your wife want to divorce you. Well then, I wish your next half of life is just like living in a beautiful dream." Having finished saying this, he leisurely left with the roar of anger rise behind him.


    Yun Ke quickly came up after he got out. He touch the teen''s forehead and frowned, "Headache? Is anywhere feels ufortable?"


    Ye Zhizhou nkly stared, his chest felt a bit warmed. "No headache. My¡­¡­ability doesn''t have any side effect. Rest assured, soon Wen Zhegang will plead guilty."


    Yun Ke still not reassured, he looked around and see no one was around then asked, "Your sudden weight loss before, has it anything to do with your ability?"


    "No." he shook his head. Suddenly didn''t knowing how to face such utmost care from Yun Ke. He simply lower his head not see him.


    "Let''se home." He said. As if not aware of the teen''s uneasiness, he held his hand and walked outside.


    He looked down at their entangle hands, soul''s out.


    Coming out from the police station they almost bump into a handsome man at the door. The other politely apologized and hurriedly asked them where the detention room is, then left.


    Ye Zhizhou stared at the man''s back and squinted his eyes. Yang Wei, Bai Li''s fianc¨¦. He didn''t expect to see him here. He appeared here so soon. Presumably he left as soon as he read his mail.


    Bai Li was still in detained now. From the spiritual force he left with her, he saw that her mood was very bad. Didn''t know how Yang Wei will react after seeing her. Also that Bai Li''s uncle¡­¡­it''s time for him to find trouble, so the other side won''t hear the news and came back, hindering him to pull up that soul g.


    These past few days Bai Li was muddleheaded, her mood was very ufortable, there''re many things she mustn''t say during the interrogation. Because her phone was taken away, she didn''t have the chance to secretly tell her mother and uncle and asked for help. She''s now in an ''amnesia'' state, she couldn''t notify her family through the police either. Didn''t know if it because her uncle''s cover up was really good or the police was just useless, they actually still hasn''t found her identity until now¡­¡­


    When she heard someone want to see her, she still a bit ignorant then she saw Yang Wei came through the door and her tears justing out. Obviously want to keep pretending on losing memory, but her mood couldn''t be controlled anymore. With flowing tears and sniffle, crying pitifully, "Big brother Yang, I finally see you. Quick save me. Someone is bullying me, they even framed me¡­¡­"


    Yang Wei was stunned, sure that the haggard looking woman was indeed his fianc¨¦e, he quickly step forward and hugged her. Said a fewforting words then asked, "How do you be like this? Not traveling back home? I had been unable to contact you."


    Bai Li''s crying stopped, but she quickly conceal it. She lift her sleeve to wipe her face, then pulled a reluctant smile and said, "As soon as I was returned in the country, I got involved in a car ident. Then I lose my memory, my phone got lost in the ident, and I couldn''t remember where my rtives are¡­¡­Big brother Yang, please take me out. It''s so awful here. I don''t want to stay here."


    "Lose memory?" Yang Wei frowned. It''s actually the same with what the mail said. He cover the hesitation in his eyes and asked, "Then you now¡­¡­recover your memory?"


    "Just a little bit. I recognized you. I know you''re a very important person to me." Her face showed a touch of smile, she raised her hands and hold Yang Wei''s waist, fondly rub against his body. "Big Brother Yang, I''m d you''re here."


    Yang Wei hold her back and then sank into contemtion. Combining the police reports and the things she just said, everything is exactly the same with the mail''s content¡­¡­recalling that few chat records, he deeply frowned.


    _____________


    After dinner, Ye Zhizhou didn''t give any chance for Yun ke to drag himself, he quickly went back to his room and locked the door.


    He turned on theputer and looked for Bai father and He Ze''s father''s mail address, sent them He Fangfei and He Ze''s shared ount and open house records and tactfully reminded Bai father to do paternity testter. He also wrapped Bai Li''s arrest information and some photographs of her and other boys in a close contact having an outing and tour when she''s abroad, then sent it to Yang mother''s phone.


    Thanks to the protagonist ''gentle & considerate'' and ''charismatic'' nature, he found an abundant resources to make this sensational news.


    Done with these, he turned off theputer with a clear spirit. He stretched his body then went to the bathroom. Those days in the hospital, he couldn''t take a proper bath. He must take a nice bubble bath today.


    _________


    Bai house, He house and Yang house were all blown up by these few mails from him. Yang Wei just bailed Bai Li out and help her settle down when he received a call from his mother.


    "Xiao Wei, where are you? Are you looking for Bai Li? Immediately return now! I can''t let that kind of woman climb into Yang family!


    The always calm and gentle mother was rarely sharp up. Yang We somewhat unclear of the reason and asked, "Mom, what''s up? I indeed with Bai Li now. She got caught up in something. I¡­¡­"


    "You called premeditated murder as something? Don''t you know, when you''re busy with your study in the past few years, she secretly y around outside. Don''t entangled with her. Returned now!


    Yang Wei expression became serious. He exined, "It''s not a murder. Also you saw Xiao Li growing up, I think she won''t¡­¡­"


    "At first I also didn''t believe it. But what kind of mother to have such kind of daughter, you see for yourself!" she hang up the phone. A few secondster, a tone of iing mail just rang.


    After he opened the mail at first nce, he see two pictures. One is Bai Li and an unfamiliar man hugging and kissing together. The other one is He Fangfei with a slightly familiar man lying on a bed in a very intimate position.


    The brain was instantly nk. Since his engagement with Bai Li came up, he always thought and treat her as his future wife. Try to treasure her and love her dearly. He always believe that the other side also thought of him this way. This picture¡­¡­


    Also Aunty. If he didn''t remember wrong, it seems that the slightly familiar man on her side is Bai Li''s uncle.


    Kept on scrolling down, a huge amount on the shared ount and open house records filled his line of sight. Five minutester he finished reading the message and put down his phone. Stare nkly for a long time, raise his hand and covered his forehead. After reading these records, he waspletely sure that his engagement with Bai Li has ended now.

 Chapter 14

    [Yang Wei and the protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 60%. Please make persistent efforts, Host]


    Ye Zhizhou who was still wiping his hair stopped, felt a bit surprised, "Already drop this much? But I only send that stuff to Yang mother. Howe?"


    Screen shed, showing the rare answer, [Love without parents'' support won''tst long.]


    Makes sense.


    Yang mother has always used a high standard for herself, she wouldn''t tolerate her own son have that kind of immoral mother-inw and a wife with shady origin. In the original plot, Yang mother also didn''t like the protagonist, but because in order to snatched that woman from Yun Ke, the helpless Yang Wei take back his inheritance''s right. Also, even with strong suppression and opposition from the family, Yang Wei still didn''t listened to her advice and make the family rtion tensed up.


    Bai Li finished taking her bath and came out, saw Yang Wei''s back standing by the window. She thought that her gentle and weak fianc¨¦ is actually very reliable, making the corner of her mouth rise up. She walked forward with a gentle smile and then hug him from behind, softly asked, "Dear, when we go back? I cannot wait to exchange vows with you and be together for a lifetime." Although she prefer a strong man like Big brother Yun more, but having a spouse that always cherished and respect her is also not bad. It''s a pity she couldn''t have them both at the same time......


    "Xiao Li." Yang Wei grabbed her hand and slowly pull it apart from his body. He turned around and gently tidied up her hair. He shook his head, "No vows, there also won''t be a lifetime."


    Bai Li was stunned, in heart gradually panic, she urgently asked, "Why? Because I was arrested..... I assure you, I was used wrongly. Really. Wait till my uncle came. Everything will be in the past......"


    "Hush." Yang Wei made a silent gesture, looking at the teary face of Bai Li. In the end he couldn''t say any harsh words and just handed over his phone, sighed, "You see for yourself. Just a moment ago my mother told me that tomorrow Bai family and Yang family will made a joint announcement. Our engagement......will be canceled."


    Bai Li stared in disbelieve, looked down to the phone in her hands. She saw the pictures, her face instantly pale.


    _____________


    [Yang Wei and the protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 50%. Please make persistent efforts, Host]


    Ye Zhizhou stopped ying with theputer, he suddenly had interest in Yang Wei. Having seen that ''rich-vored'' things, love probability only went down to 50 %. This person......really has a good temper.


    Suddenly, there''s a knocking sound on the door. Ye Zhizhou stiffened up, he quickly turned off theputer and climbed into the bed and nested in his nket, pretending to be asleep.


    "Xiao Yang, I know you hasn''t sleep yet. The light still on."


    Blunder! He got up and quickly turned off the light and guiltily answered, "I''m just about to sleep. Brother Yun, you also go to sleep ok. It''s alreadyte. Good night."


    Outside became quite for a while. A cold and deep male voice could be heard again, with a trace of helplessness, "Xiao Yang, I couldn''t sleep. Since you''ve been hospitalized, I haven''t sleep well for a week."


    Ye Zhizhou stopped pulling his nket, he counted the days he''s not ying the harmonica. With regret to be softhearted, he answered, "Then go back to your room. I''ll y it for you. Remember to open your window. The sound is too small, the result is not good."


    Then there''s a sound of the key being put into the keyhole. The next second the door was opened. The light from the corridor was shining inside, made Yun Ke''s shadow became very long. His tone particrly vile, "The weather is cold now. Sleeping with opened window will easily catch cold. Xiao Yang, let''s sleep together."


    Ye Zhizhou was stunned, unbelievably said, "Why is the key? Where did you get the key to my room?"


    "From Uncle Fu." Yun Ke walked in and closed the door. In the darkness he slowly walked toward the bed. He bent over by the bedside, the moonlight shine through the windows andnd in his smiling eyes. The handsomeness seems to not belong to a mortal. "I want you to use your ability and touch me. This time I don''t want to feel it through the sound. I believe you already used it. Surround me." He thought then added, "Just like thest time you surrounded Bai Li in the hospital."


    The warm breath directly blew on Ye Zhizhou''s face making he subconsciously hold his breath. Then he shook his head, forcefully shook his head.


    Yun Ke sat by the bedside,pletely ignored his refusal. He leaned and kiss his mouth, "Breath."


    He instinctively opened up his mouth, gasping for fresh air.


    Yun Ke''s intention was really clear, he never let any opportunity off. He firmly kiss the teen''s lips, gently sucking his mouth, and vaguely asked, "Xiao Yang, what is your ability called? Telekinesis? Spirit force?"


    Ye Zhizhou''s mind became somewhat foolish by the attacked, he answered, "It''s spirit force......" then he regained his soul back, frantically avoid the man''s deep intimacy. But he''s not careful and struggled back too far, making hended with his back on the bed.


    "I like this position." Yun Keughed softly, cold and deep voice in the dim light of the night, carrying a seductive vor. He overlook the pants that hanging on Ye Zhizhou''s body, slowly closing their faces, "Xiao Yang, close your eyes."


    His teasing voice made Ye Zhizhou weak all over his body. His mind spread out the spiritual force and wrap them around subconsciously, "You, you calm down a bit. This is a harmonious society, you can''t......"


    Yun Ke''s movement stopped. Just when Ye Zhizhou thought that the man''s conscience finally forbid him from doing something beast like, but then he softly leaned his head sideway and looked as if enjoying something, "I feel it, it''s very good."


    Feel what? This action, this distance......could it be his spiritual force?


    Not waiting until his mind cleared up, a dark shadow suddenly came before his eyes, and his lips was being kissed again. At the same time, there''s a strong feels of a just awakened weak spiritual force from the other''s body. It rashly came and entangled with his own spiritual force.


    Hell! A sudden spiritual force blending is very dreadful! Ye Zhizhou was in a great rmed, also trying to reject Yun Ke''s kissing. He''s focusing on taking back his own spiritual force, not letting it being tangled with the other''s spiritual force as much as possible.


    Yun Ke became somewhat dissatisfied, although he also didn''t know what he dissatisfied with. He just deepened the kiss and held the body under him even tighter. Intuition told him, he must do this.


    Ye Zhizhou practically want to copse! Yun Ke was clearly unaware of his own spiritual force awakening. Moreover he simply couldn''t control it! That spiritual force was like a reflection of Yun Ke''s mood. No matter what, it insist to wrap around him, blending with his own spiritual force. He also didn''t dare to fight back, the other''s spiritual force is still too weak, if he randomly fight it back, Yun Ke could be an idiot. But to just simply ignore it......spiritual force defiling is also a crime! It should be brought to the court!


    This intimate situation would only intensify the other''s spiritual force agitation. Ye Zhizhou anxiously asked in his heart, "Heaven, if I make the male lead became an idiot, is it still count as a sess?"


    [Destroying the world bnce. Mission failed.]


    "What a liar! Why Yun Ke awakened his spiritual force! Why!"


    [Long-term spiritualfort contribute to awakening.]


    "......." So he just reap what he sow? Because he use his spiritual force to help Yun Ke fell asleep every day? Who would have thought that this ancient man will easily awakened his spiritual force like this! Protagonist this is not a trifling matter?


    Notice the intense struggling, Yun Ke finally release the teen''s lips and moved to suck his earlobe forcefully.


    Ye Zhizhou couldn''t control his moan, he almost bite his own tongue in shame. Meanwhile, that lingering spiritual force outside his brain suddenly found an opening, rushing to drill into his ear and forcefully intrude his brain, being tangled with his own spiritual force to the corner and struggled with each other.


    They both groaned simultaneously. Yun Ke''s kiss finally stopped, he buried his head in Ye Zhizhou''s cor and panted heavily, cold sweat was exude from his forehead. Ye Zhizhou wasn''t that good either, but his spirit was stronger. In his heart, he gave respect to Yun family''s eighteen generation ancestors!


    Now, whose spirit force was vited in the end? Howe the criminal look even worse than the victim?


    Curse back curse (?), but has to control. He threw his self-despair and gave up the struggle. He wrap the other man with his spiritual force as gentle as possible. So they don''t rash and act foolish on each other.


    ......his ancestor definitely had a sin, how could in this life he has to use his spirit to appease a vile criminal!


    Because there''s no struggle anymore, Yun Ke''s breath gradually became steady and the spiritual force finally calmed down. It even got livelier getting surrounded by Ye Zhizhou''s spiritual force and intimately rub against it. He try hard to support his big self, desperately want to sink deeper into the spiritual circle.


    Spirit force directly reflect the person''s emotion, from its attribute to its view. Yun Ke is obviously a strong and overbearing man, but became gentler because of him. Yun Ke even try to use his weak spirit force to surround and protect him......Ye Zhizhou casted aside his own soft heart.


    He lied on the bed and pushed Yun Ke away. He tried to drive out the other''s spiritual force but failed. He helplessly turned over and rolled his eyes. He might as well not think about this and just close his eyes to sleep.


    These past few days is really stimting.


    After sleeping till morning, he finally opened up his eyes. And the first thing that enter his line of sight is that sinful face of Yun Ke.


    The drowsiness was instantly gone. He quickly get away from the man''s embrace and touch his own clothes.


    "Sleep well?" beautiful amber eyes finally opened, wearing a just woke up looks. His spiritual force instantly activated, intimately rubbed against Ye Zhizhou.


    "Beast!" Ye Zhizhou forcefully pushed him away. With a flushed cheek he jumped from the bed and ran toward the toilet. When he''s about to enter, he angrily turned around and cursed, "You damn vile assant! Just you wait, I''ll send you to prison!" then he ran into the toilet and closed the door with force.


    Yun Ke was stupefied, blinked, finally couldn''t help butugh out loud andid back on the bed.


    The just awoke Xiao Yang is really interesting, very good, he really like it. Whether Xiao Yang is too pure or not, even a vile kiss he wants.


    ____________


    Yang Wei is gone, not take Bai Li along. He didn''t know how to treat these two women''s feelings.


    He just bail Bai Li out and buy a ne ticket. Bai Li followed the ne with her eyes. She clenched the phone and money Yang Wei left behind very tightly. She couldn''t help but cried. It shouldn''t be this way, her life shouldn''t be this way. She supposed to have a loving husband and a very blissful life. How could it turned this way?


    Isn''t it just wrong from the beginning? She shouldn''t run away from home, shouldn''t like Big brother Yun after the car ident, shouldn''t agree to cooperate with Wen family, even more after she regained her memory she shouldn''t unwilling to leave and even cooperate with Wen family to eliminate Dun Yang......


    What should she do now, and who could help her......

    T/N : sorry for the mistakes and mistrantion ??

 Chapter 15

    Although the conflict was close to home, after receiving the news from Yang Wei, Bai father quickly calmed down. He sent awyer to help Bai Li and because theck of evidence, the usation didn''t stand, she was found not guilty and released. Ye Zhizhou already expect this oue. Although Bai Li was suspected of intentional injury, she didn''t manage to carry it out. He also didn''t have any major injury. She being released is just a matter of time.


    After being released, Bai Li booked the fastest ticket to flight back home, probably won''t step foot in thisnd that make her lose her image ever again.


    Ye Zhizhou watched her ne fly away from the corner. He unfolded the scarf that was covering his face, gazed at the overcast sky and muttered, "It''ll snow ah......" The end of the year was arriving, people walked by hurriedly with anxious joyful face to reunite with their loved ones. Ye Zhizhou watched them with an unprecedented feeling in his heart and then got up. He has to do this strange mission in this strange world, and he didn''t even know where he''ll be in the future.


    The phone suddenly rang. Ye Zhizhou''s soul was back from the sentimental state. He took it out and opened it.


    It''s an email from Yang Wei. Yang Wei didn''t know who the mystery man is; he could only use this way to express his gratitude and doubt. Gratitude because Bai family indeed not a good marriage candidate. Although he didn''t know what''s the mystery man''s purpose and also feeling very sad, but he really get benefit; The doubt was because he''s curios of the mystery man''s identity. This man could find many privates information; his skill couldn''t be described as average. He also curious as why such a good hacker was helping him. In the end, he also tactfully reminds the mystery man to protect his information because Bai, Yang, and He family are all looking for him.


    Ye Zhizhou justugh after reading it. After short replied, he deleted all the mail and logged out. He also wiped all his traces.


    Across the ocean, Yang Wei looked at the new reply, he helplessly shook his head andugh, "The angel of justice ha......" He turned off the mail and opened the files on his desktop. He carefully flipped over the photos of Bai Li and him, from childhood to adulthood. Wearing a trace of sadness in his eyes and after a long hesitation, he clicked delete.


    His childhood girl already grew up bing someone unfamiliar...... Good bye, my sweet girl.


    [Yang Wei and protagonist''s love probability has drop to 30 %. Please make persistent effort, Host.]


    Seeing this screen, Ye Zhizhou was stunned, then dumbfounded. Oh no, he actually forget that Yang Wei''s love chance still not zero! Protagonist departure didn''t mean the mission was aplished!


    It''s all because Yun Ke''s harassment! Make him forget about important thing!


    "Why is it still 30%? So Yang Wei still has feeling for protagonist...... now both of them already abroad. How can I handle this remaining 30%?" He frantically grabbed his hair, wanting to smash his head to the ground.


    Yun Ke timely called, he putted down his hand, expressionless face shown on the phone. After ringing three times, he finally answered. Not giving any chance for the other party to speak, he immediately said, "Brother Yun, I want to study abroad!"


    Yun Ke who wants to yell at the naughty boy for not returning home to eat suddenly had darkened face.


    Ye Zhizhou was firm, he said want to go abroad, he will go abroad. No one could stop him! First, he''s already grown up and could act freely without a guardian; second, he had money and most of the Du''s shares are already under his name. The annual bonus is already sufficient for him to live a carefree life; and thest one; he had both system and the spiritual force within his hands. In this world, who could stop him!


    He thought of these and naturally so did Yun Ke. Therefor, Yun Ke was very angry.


    Yun residence''s atmosphere became extremely cold like before, everyone was shrinking their tail, trying not to appear in front of Yun Ke. Only Ye Zhizhou act indifferent, should eat he eat, should sleep he sleep. Yun Ke put a cold attitude and so he followed, let''s see who fight whom.


    Since ancient times, the one who felt deeper in love will always first topromise. A few days before New Year celebration, Yun Ke drag Ye Zhizhou out and went straight to Wen residence.


    "I tell you, ying the emotional card won''t work for me. I am going abroad!" Although after returning home the protagonist will have no time for Yang Wei because of her parents''s divorce, he''s still panick ah! What if one day the protagonist go to Yang Wei by whim and crying on him, ying her "gentle and considerate" charm, and Yang Wei still have feeling for the protagonist, then what to do! The deceptive system told him, if Yang Wei and protagonist are together, that remaining soul g will always exist. And the protagonist "gentle and considerate" charm will slowly recover and then shine brightly. The final development might be just another Yun Ke and Yang Wei fighting over the protagonist plot!


    He seems to have already seen the new male lead appear, Yang Wei in order to take the protagonist take back his right of inheritance, protagonist attempted suicide, both male leadpromise, three people live happily and babies born with awful future...... this world is still going to an end!


    "I''ll show you something." Yun Ke pat his hand to appease him. His usual cold tone became rarely gentle this time. Ye Zhizhou also calmed down seeing him like this, feeling guilty in his heart. This going abroad matter is originally his own fault. In fact, it''s normal for Yun Ke to get angry. He''s just too unreasonable easily offended at this moment......


    They soon arrived at Wen residence. The former meticulous vi was already ruined. The garden was filled with weeds. The gate was fully open, showing workers moving back and forth taking things out.


    "The old Wen got heart attack after he got arrested and was brought to the hospital. He died two days ago. Yesterday, Wen''s sons and daughter had quarrel because of the inheritance. Thepany is on the brink of bankruptcy. This vi was given to the eldest son, the second son was rashly driven out. The third child hasn''t appear after the ident. Now the eldest son intend to sell this vi and then going abroad."


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the workers moving things toward the eldest Wen, with no expression on his face said, "After my parents got in the ident, he came over tofort me. Although he''s greedy and stingy but actually his nature is not bad. If he want to go abroad , then go. Start a new life."


    "En." Yun Ke hold his hand. Then start the engine again. This time Ye Zhizhou no longer ask where he was going because he has vaguely guessed in his heart.


    The car stopped outside a building rent by Wen family. The previous shiny and neat building has been deserted. In a short time, Wenpany was split and sold. Also the popr Wen family girl set clothing was already confirmed to be stolen from Du mother. The stealingwsuit already in motion, it''ll not long until Ye Zhizhou get the satisfying oue.


    Didn''t stay long, the car started again. This time their destination is an old residential area. Their arrival was extremely timely, Wen family daughter just came around holding a suitcase. The ever delicate and dress up richdy has be a haggard and shabby middle-age woman. Her face is full of resentment and bitterness.


    "After Wen family has the incident, she was abandon by her lover. The old Wen didn''t leave any inheritance for her. So she depended on the eldest Wen to help her spare a little money to live, but now even a little money from the eldest Wen she won''t have."


    Ye Zhizhou looked indifferently at the middle-age woman, he coldly said, "She was very jealous of my mother, even try to seduce my father, stealing the designs was also her idea. Ending up like this, she deserves it."


    Yun Ke started the car once again and head for the Bar street.


    The bar street in the afternoon is very quiet, Yun Ke parked the car next to an alley. While referring at the garbage can at an alley, he said, "The Wen third son is here. The old Wen was very fond of this son, he secretly left a huge amount of money for him, but because of the drug, he owed a lot of debt. He just got the money when the collectors take it away after beating him up and leave him here."


    Ye Zhizhou saw the sunshine didn''t get into the alley, he purse his lips, not saying anything. The death of Du father and Du mother was nned by this man in order to help the fourth Wen. Even those gangsters are per his request to his bad friend from the neighbor city. Now leaving him there is truly light for him.


    "Don''t worry, he won''t be better." Yun Ke stroke his hair then asked, "Want to see the fourth Wen?"


    He shook his head, lowered his eyes, and hid his emotion. At that time he inject his spiritual force into the fourth Wen''s mind, it''ll let him felt asleep and continuously dreaming, repeatedly saw Du father, Du mother, and Du Yun''s death. Forever in the past, by not having good rests and the mental tension, anyone would go crazy sooner orter, coupled with imprisonment...... he hopes for a long suffering, despair, and for the man to keep living for it.


    When they returned back, it''s already evening. After Yun Ke parked the car, he didn''t rush to get out. He helped Ye Zhizhou with the seatbelt, arranged his hair, and warmly said, "I agree to send you abroad. Half a year. After half a year, youe back for college entrance. Then you can decide whether you want to continue stay abroad or not, OK?"


    Ye Zhizhou stared nkly and the nodded, "Ok." Today he clearly understood Yun Ke''s care for him. He doesn''t have the heart to keep on his willful act. Also half a year is enough time for him to wipe the remaining 30% from Yang Wei.


    "I''ll miss you." Yun Ke leaned over and hugged him, slightly sighing.


    He hesitated, then hold him back and softly said, "Me too."


    _________


    After the warm New Year, Ye Zhizhou left a spiritual crystal. With Yun Ke''s well cared old diary, he set foot on the ne.


    After reaching his destination, he quickly disguised himself. He use his spiritual force to invade a local rich second generations* to brightened up every terrace (hold party). The protagonist was helpless because of her parents'' divorce, so he meticulously chooses a very rich and g second generation man. Ye Zhizhou was nning to let them both meet, then take all measures to push their feelings to grow.


    (* a children of entrepreneur who became wealthy under Deng Xiaoping''s economic reform in 1980s)


    Five monthster, the protagonist got pregnant without married. After suffering from the divorce and left by He Ze, He Fangfei quickly grasped the opportunity. Together with the protagonist he dragged the g second generation man into a grave''s wedding. She once again could purchase anything she want, as for the protagonist marriage happiness, that''s fortter to worry about.


    After the protagonist marriage news spread outside, Yang Wei 30% love probability finally turned zero. The remaining soul g disappeared.


    [Congrattion Host for removing the second soul g. The world mission ispleted. The reward has been delivered. May I ask if Host want to leave for the next world?]


    He looked down at the caring message Yun Ke just sent him, he hesitated. That guy didn''t sleep well; the spiritual crystal effect is not that dependable. Yun Ke also just awakened his spiritual force, always enduring the pain. If he suddenly leaves......and he also thest family that guy has in this world, right?


    After turning a few turn and asked by the system again and again, he bites his lip and finally choose to refuse. Ten thousand years in the mission world is equal to one second in his world anyway. This time he''ll take a bet!


    As for what to bet, he''s also not clear at this moment.

 Chapter 16

    T/N:

    _______________________


    The third years after returning home, Ye Zhizhou is stuffed in bed on Yun Ke''s birthday in vicious way, "Say, those things in your diary, is it true? You and my sister are truly nothing?"


    Yun Ke gently looked at his increasingly dazzling sweetheart and nodded, "Of course it''s true. Otherwise why should I let you see the diary?" Back then, his marriage with Du Yun is actually each otherpromise. Du Yun need a way to move out and a husband that could suppress the demons and ghosts of industry; and he also realize that it can''t be help that he has to be married someday. Furthermore, he and Du Yun grew up together, their affection deep like sibling, then he also agreed to this marriage. Both of them are strong and assertive people, it''s difficult to fall in love with each other. They get along more like rtive and business partner.


    "Xiao Yang, you''re my first love." He lifted his hand and stroked his sweetheart''s cheek, the tenderness in his eyes almost spilled out.


    Ye Zhizhou blushed, eyes waver a bit. He lowered his head and for the first time he took initiative and kiss Yun Ke''s lip. After ferociously gnaw a mouthful and letting go, he threatened, "If you dare to wrong me in the future, I''ll cut your third leg!"


    After listening to his word, Yun Ke first felt baffled, then suddenly turned over that person under his body and excitedly kissed, "There will never be such a day."


    Yun Ke didn''t break his promise, until the end of his life, his heart still firmly tied to Ye Zhizhou''s.


    "It''s a pity I didn''t walk behind you." White-haired handsome old man fondly caressed his lover cheek, wiping out his tears. He tried to smile, "Don''t cry. I''ll wait for you in the next life." Then his hand slowly hanged down, the eyes that gently looked at his lover also tightly closed.


    "You''re a liar." Ye Zhizhou cried like a child and hit him a few times. "What wait in the next life, I don''t even know where I''ll be in the next life......"


    System timely pop up a screen, [are you ready to enter the next world?]


    He gritted his teeth to hold back his tears, carefully tidying up his lover''s appearance. He lied on his side, facing sideway and embraced his lover before slowly closed his eyes, with determination in his heart.


    ______________


    *******************


    The first thing he felt when he opened his eyes was the bad smell, a very bad smell. Ye Zhizhou covered his nose and observed his surroundings.


    This is a clean bathroom with a white bathtub, brown floor tiles and a brown sink table beside the toilet with some skin care products messily scattered around.


    And in such a clean bathroom, he was having diarrhea...... Ye Zhizhou who just lost his lover couldn''t keep on feeling sad because of the stinky smell covering the room.


    After tidying up himself and put on his pants, he got up and stood in front of the mirror. He looked at his new appearance and dumbstruck, "Heaven, this face full of e is me? Last time it''s a fat boy and now this e-boiled male. What grudge did you have on me?"


    A smallpact mirror on the sink table shook and the next second the pimple youth''s reflection blurred up and rece by arge segment of text.


    He looked down nkly, staring at the pink rabbit shapedpact mirror, then looked up at the wall mirror filled with text. His heart blew a bleak wind, "Heaven, how much do you like pink?"


    The system ignored him and just diligently provides information.


    He sighed and began to read the love story of this world''s protagonist.


    Zhang Xinran, an actress with a g father, a stepmother, and a useless younger brother, these three pig-like rtives. At the age of 18 was discovered by a scout and entered the entertainment circle. After instantly be a hit, her family egged her to abandon her study and focused to work in entertainment business. 10 yearster, when she was about to win the award in uing award ceremony, Yao Cheng, her boyfriend she loves for ten years and his other woman, Liu Feifei, suddenly break the media and she lost the trophy. Then she quickly past her prime-time and finally died at home from CO2 poisoning.


    Then she was reborn.


    Ye Zhizhou : "......"


    The protagonist was reborn back to 18 years old, one week before she encountered the scout. In this life, she vowed to live out her life to the best, bing an actress she wanted to be, stamp that g man and her mistress, finished her study! She will never be an idiot pretty face with no culture!


    After setting the goal, she quickly tidied up herself to a better image and met the scout, once again appear in the idol drama that make her instantly famous like her past life and frankly refuse to appear in any drama starring her former boyfriend Yao Cheng and reject his courtship. At the same time, she studied hard and admitted to B city best college, shocking everyone.


    After receiving her first payment, she immediately left her pig-family house. She also avoided her past lifebel, Huang Tu, and transferred to Mu Tianbel that will be big in the future.


    Although Mu Tian is a newpany, but its strength and background is very powerful. After the protagonist signed the contract, she used her past life knowledge for her advantage, obtained the gold medal and a respectable manager. Then by rmendation she finally got a role in a historical drama as the second female lead.


    Through this historical drama, her poprity raise to the next level, gaining the attention of toppany. The manager saw this opportunity and pushed her to participate in a famous director audition for the lead actress. So in this audition, she met the first male lead of this world, the money cow, the big and top quality actor, Ouyang Di.


    Ouyang Di is the male lead actor chosen by the director. That day he was required to be present in the audition. He hurriedly go over, unfortunately he got caught by paparazzi. In that helpless state, the protagonist coincidentally met and then save him, thus he noticed her. He thought that this is just a short meeting, but in the audition stage, he saw this neer once again and her sophisticated stunning acting. He also learned that she was from the samepany as him, so he became more interested on her.


    After shooting the movie, as the same predecessor and younger generation of thepany, their rtionship was getting better and better. The actor gradually has good impression on the protagonist and the protagonist''s heart also faintly moved by the actor......but unfortunately, the beautiful love story had to take a turn here.


    The actor identally got a fracture. In order to not affect the filming and also not to make the protagonist worried, he called his twin older brother abroad, Ouyang Zhi. Letting him to take his ce to continue appear on the movie. The brother who loves his younger brother dearly agreed to this idea. He learned about his brother behavior and habit to undertake the task.


    Those two men look exactly the same. Ouyang Zhi''s acting skill was also impable. And with Ouyang Di off-site coaching guidance, no one found out that the male lead actor was not the same! The filming continued, the protagonist affection toward the actor also continued. Ouyang Zhi just ignored the protagonist''s concern and attention at the beginning, but after a long time of interaction, he actually fell in love with the protagonist! He fell in love with his younger brother''s beloved woman, while pretending to be the younger brother!


    Reading here, Ye Zhizhou covered his face in despair. He just felt that this second world is more terrible than thest one.


    Twins, falling in love in the same woman ah. Final still together, but also for a lifetime! Moreover the protagonist knew veryte that her lover is actually two people, at that time she already had rtionship with two people...... Do twins connect deeply? Always having the same gesture? The same habit before and after the event? The same way of breath when excited?


    ......it feels like his morality is already dead.


    He wiped his face, threw the yellow garbage out of his head, and kept on reading the information in front with an upright mind.


    If we put feeling aside, the protagonist was very sessful after her rebirth. She got rid of her g father and stepmother, managed to discard her useless younger brother, crush her former g boyfriend and his woman, then embrace the male leads'' thigh. With the male leads'' power she was protected and escorted. After getting the trophy from that movie, at the age of 26 years old she quickly went international, conquered the entertainment world instantly. At 35 years old, when she was at the top of her career, she bravely withdraw from the entertainment industry and threw herself at charity. She got a PhD inw from H University and be the front line in children assist and abused woman.


    At 85 years old, she passed away. Because of good deeds she did in her life, all the country leaders mourn for her. Theter generation wrote a monument and build a memorial hall for her. Before their death, those two men also ordered them to protect and develop the protagonist''s work in child assist and abused woman prevention and let her soul stayed in people''s heart in eternal glory.


    Theter generation aplished it, and they do it very well. They use the protagonist''s name to establish a foundation, invest a lot of money to continue her noble work.


    100 yearster, the foundation turned into a religion and became the focus of woman''s right; 150 yearster, the religion grew and strengthened, also getting more and more believers; 200 yearster, believers all spread around the world; 270 yearster, the doctrine became twisted, it began to emphasize on women''s power in violent aesthetic; 300 yearster, believers began a terrorist attack, woman began to rebel in ces where men in serious power; 320 yearster, the fight slowly spread around the world and people has forgotten the original reason of the fight; 370 yearster, after decades of war, the world finally perished.


    Shutting down the information screen, Ye Zhizhou stared at mirror that shows the pimple youth once again. His heart filled with ellipsis.


    This kind of world destruction, seriously? Why the entire mission world is so capricious......


    The toilet door suddenly knocked, a gruff voice could be heard from outside, "Cheng Ge*, I buy you some medicine,e out after you clean yourself. The director said, if in the morning your e still not gone, he won''t let you go to the conference."


    (*Ge means brother, so it means Brother Cheng)


    He turned and stared at the door, then tapping the rabbit mirror, "Cheng Ge? Who?"


    [The body you''re currently using is Yao Cheng.]


    "......The ex-boyfriend?"


    [Yes.]


    "......"


    The door was knocked again, "What did you say?"


    "Nothing. You go rest first." He used the original body''s way of talk to send that person away. Then flipped over the information system gave to him.


    Yao Cheng, an orphan, raised by his uncle till 18 years old then got driven out by his uncle''s wife. At second year in university because he doesn''t have money for the tuition, he drop out of school. By chance he was picked by Director Li Hao to starred in an idol drama ¡¶Fate, let me love you¡·, after the big sess of the drama he sign into Xing Hebel, walk in the flower boy route, get cast in variety of idol drama. After a few years getting past his prime and be the top actor, he took a fancy on an older woman from Huang Tubel, Liu Feifei. In order to get her support, he betrayed his ten years girlfriend, Zhang Xinran.


    Of course, this was before the protagonist rebirth. After her rebirth, Yao Cheng was constantly involved in a dark scandal since his debut. By "fateful chance" under Liu Feifei''s support, when his career just improved slightly, a scandalous photo of him and Liu Feifei break out to the media. Then he quickly past his prime time and just became a pretty boy object, a very miserable and frustrated life.


    Turning off the screen, he took a deep breath and let it out. He tapped thepact mirror once again, "Heaven, about my face, you can solve it right?"

 Chapter 17

    Although ¡¶Fate, let me love you¡·was a low budget idol drama and all the actors were neers, but because the high status of Li Hao''s grandfather, Li Zhen, in the film circle, this movie conferences still get many media attention.


    Li Hao watched the media at front and walked toward the actor''s lounge in high spirit, counted the people and angrily said, "Where''s Yao Cheng? Didn''t I already notified you to arrive early! Xinran, you give him a call, within 10 minutes, I want to see him here!"


    From the center of the crowd, Xinran slowly stand up, purse up her rosy lip and shyly said, "I just called him, but no one answered...... it''s my fault, I insisted on everyone to eat seafood yesterday, causing Cheng Ge''s allergy and triggered a rash on his face...... I''m sorry."


    A beauty initiative an apology, Li Hao''s heart swayed to the horizon. His tone calmed down and hefortingly said, "You are just being considerate on everyone for working hard and treat them. I''m not ming you." He thought about that rash on Yao Cheng''s face and got angry again, "It''s Yao Cheng''s fault. Has seafood allergy still eat so much! Anyway, he can''t meet people with his rash face. Forget it. Give him a call, tell him not toe. A good conference and all are lost. Wretched!"


    "Yao Cheng indeed always screwed things up. He also camete a few times when filming......" the second lead actor, Deng Tun, has a feeling for Xinran. Seeing Yao Cheng always fawned on her made him resent Yao Cheng even more. At once he seize this opportunity to add fire.


    Hearing this made Li Hao got angrier, he hit the table making a bang noise, "Simply outrageous! What''s gotten in my eyes to choose him as the lead actor that time!


    "Who make Hao Ge to be this angry?" A bright and clear voice came from outside, everyone''s ear was tickle by this voice, they looked toward the entrance.


    Ye Zhizhou wore a simple white shirt and a pair of jeans. He raise his hands full of package breakfast in front of his face with a big smile. Seeing everyone look at him in puzzle, he just blinked andughably said, "I got up early. I took the liberty to buy breakfast for everyone." Then he looked at Li Hao. With a big smile and a friendly cheerful voice embed with spiritual force, he said, "I remember Hao Ge like to eat Chinese burger? I see one at the street corner and just buy some. I also add hot pepper in it. Hao Ge, you like spicy food right?"


    "Huh? Ah, Yes. I like it spicy." Li Hao awkwardly retracted his hand from the table. His anger just burst out like a popped up balloon. With a guilty feeling of someone who got caught when talking someone behind their back, his eyes wavered not looking at Ye Zhizhou. He reached for the burger, opened it and took a mouthful. He dryly said, "Everyone quickly eat ah. Then we can begin our work. Don''t starve, don''t starve......" He pretending to be busy and hurriedly turn toward he lobby.


    Everyone watch him leave. They looked at the delicious breakfast on the table and at Ye Zhizhou''s fine handsome face. Silence. What did just Xinran say to the director? Allergic? Rash face?


    Many people will want to have this kind of "rash face" ah......


    Ye Zhizhou saw no one moved, his smile got even bigger and the spiritual force slowly spread out, entangling with his soft voice, "I don''t know everyone''s preferences, so I just buy some porridge and steamed bun. Don''t say I''m stingy, ok?"


    Everyone seems to be awaken, they looked at Ye Zhizhou once again. The more they looked at him, the more pleasing to eyes he became. They step forward and took the meal after saying thanks. His way of talk and attitude also became more amiable and gentler. For a moment, the atmosphere in the lounge has never been more harmonious.


    After breakfast and exchanging friendly greeting full withugh, not only the antipathy and hostility was dissolved but also it increased people''s good opinion on him. Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied.


    Zhang Xinran stood outside the crowd. She secretly nced at Yao Cheng''s e-free face. She slightly frowned, her heart filled with suspicion. Obviously his face was full of rash and es yesterday. How could today...... not only he got rid of his stingy self, but also since when did Yao Cheng learn to bribe people with food like this? Suspicious, very suspicious.


    Aware of her gaze, Ye Zhizhou''s smile paused then became brighter. He turned and looked at her with concerned look, "Xinran, why are you just standing there? You don''t have any appetite?"


    "No." She turned around and saw everyone busily taking the meal and exchangingughs and words, she joined them and kindly thanked him for the breakfast. Her attitude was very pleasing, not showing any fault.


    Ye Zhizhou politely leave her after exchanging some words. He stood at the side eating some steamed bun while watching her chatting with the crews. He slightly admired her, worthy of being called an actress, her acting was very good.


    The conference started fifteen minutes ago, Li Hao took a bottle of c from the corner, pass on everyone, and then put it in Ye Zhizhou''s hand. After the host finished introducing him, he walked first to the stage.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the unopened c in his hand, his mouth slightly hooked up. Is this Li Hao''s way of returning his breakfast? Li Hao is exactly the same with the information. He was both difficult and awkwardly kind person, very tsundere.


    In order to hold the suspense, the lead actor and actress were thest one to appear. The media show no interest in seeing those green newbie on stage. Their mind was thinking hard on how to make this story more eye-catching. Ye Zhizhou then was introduced and called by the MC toe to the stage.


    White shirt, light colored jeans, white sneaker, neat and tidy short hair, fine eyebrow and smart eyes, straight nose thin lip, wide shoulder, slim waist, long legs, a white fine skin, with no feminism air at all. His temperament was gentle andfortable. He walked in natural posture filled with his own aura. And wait, ah! This sultry voice, this neither servile nor overbearing manner, this natural way of talk with interval jokes in it.


    Potential stock! Hot news!


    The reporters who were like tiger in human skin instantly jolted up, they picked up their camera and clicked madly at Ye Zhizhou. They finally looked at Li Hao seriously¡ª¡ª really worthy of being the great Li Zhen''s grandson. This casting vision, really cruel!


    Li Hao was annoyed with the media''s casual attitude. He didn''t expect once Ye Zhizhou came to the stage the situation would reverse, it was so exciting. After Ye Zhizhou sat down, he couldn''t help but patted his shoulder and haughtily said, "Well done. After this I''m gonna treat you to big dinner."


    Ye Zhizhou was amused by him. While joking together, he lower his voice and said, "Hao Ge, the equipment you mentionedst time, I know how to brush it."


    "What!?" Li Hao sudden shout startled the media and MC. The media that were initially on the protagonist shift their attention toward Li Hao.


    "Hao Ge, calm down." Ye Zhizhou hint about the media.


    Li Hao hurriedly shut up and straightened his body, pretending nothing had happened.


    The media have no choice but to go back to the protagonist. However they enthusiasm obviously faded down because of that. They carelessly take some shoot on her and then put down their camera at a right moment.


    Zhang Xinran who specifically requested to be thest one to appear just maintained her smile and sat beside the director. Under the table her hand slowly clenched tight and her heart sank. Why is Yao Cheng so strange today? The director''s surprise just now clearly because of his words...... did he deliberately target her or it''s just a coincidence? Also the method of using food to bribe people and the suddenly disappearance of his allergy traces...... she definitely saw him eating that food yesterday, then that food...... No. Don''t think about it. She forcefully pinched her thigh to calm herself and put her attention into the conference. This is the beginning of her debut in the entertainment circle, she must not make any mistake. As for Yao Cheng......no need to hurry, there will always be a chance to pick on him.


    After the introduction, the next segment was interview. Zhang Xinran picked up her spirit. Thank s to her mature and smart reply, media''s attention gradually pulled into her. She regained her confidence as a rebirth woman.


    Ye Zhizhou didn''t care about the protagonist stealing all attention. He ignored Li Hao and asionally looked at his side. He tapped thepact mirror and connected the system with the owner''s cell phone. The system screen then showed the owner''s blog.


    Yao Cheng''s character is a little strange. He''s a conceited and inferior person, very difficult to get along. His blog directly showed his character, unbearably messy. asionally he''ll make a cynical remark about male chauvinism, very stupid. In the original plot, the protagonist used this blog and gave him a well-known man doctrine''s hat. Once the negative image printed on his back, it''s difficult to wash out. But now he''s upying Yao Cheng''s body, naturally he will run everything properly.


    Without fooling around he deleted the blog and wiped any Yao Cheng''s negative trace on the inte. He also checked the owner''s bank deposit silently. Then he created a new blog and simply took care of it, and he opened the phone address and deleted all the contact record. After finishing this, he disconnected system from the phone and finally looked up and pays attention toward Li Hao.


    The interview went smoothly. Zhang Xinran nced at him with a bit of ridicule look on her eyes, but seeing him not paying any attention at her but instead was whispering with Li Hao with face full of smile, it''s making her smile stiffened up and eyes loomed down.


    This Yao Cheng, what is he up to?


    The conference ended without a hitch. Li Hao waved his big hand and proudly set the box at Four Season Park, decided to take everyone to a good rub.


    On the way, Ye Zhizhou''s strategy was seed on making Li Hao pay attention to his blog and sent a like. He was very satisfied. Li Hao''s three generationwork is powerful. Originally, the reason why protagonist could get the best offers was not only because she had a good manager but also because Li Hao used his grandfather''s connection to support her. Now that he is here, it''s natural to make a useful good rtionship with him.


    After chatting andughing they finally arrived, everyone got off and surrounded Li Hao.<span>


    On the second floor of Four Season Park, Ouyang Chun suddenly stopped walking, he looked down at the hall to take a look but only caught a glimpse of white figure in arge group of people heading toward the first floor.


    "Uncle?" Qing Xiao doubtly stop and follow the man''s line of sight and said, "What''s the problem?"


    "Nothing." He withdrew his gaze, held the beads on his wrist, andmanded, "Let Dr. Zhang has a visit this afternoon."


    Qing Xiao cautiously said with a grave look," Uncle, does your head hurt again? Want to go to the hospital?"


    "No." he lowered his eyes. The always indifferent looks suddenly washed away with an emotion. He slowly stopped stroking the beads in his wrist. "It doesn''t hurt." Just as if something suddenlye to life in his heart. Very strange, very......happy.

 Chapter 18

    Happy New Year everyone XD


    Thanks to for editing this chapter, i hope you''ll find it more enjoyable ^^

    Chapter 18


    After the conference ended, Ye Zhizhou became idle.


    A few dayster, he took his newly earned paycheque, called hisndlord to withdraw his single room rent, and then promptly booked a ticket, packed his luggage and went to the airport...... He took advantage of the fact that the series was still in the editing phase and that the protagonist was still struggling with her college entrance exam. To make a hole, you first have to earn money! Furthermore, Li Hao''s paycheck was next to nothing.


    Want to make a good standing in the entertainment circle with this kind of money? Dream on!


    First, he went to S city stock exchange and exploited the system data to double his money. He then turned to the gambling resort located in Y city. Using his spiritual force and system''s sensor function to analyze the situation, he directly ced a huge bet in Heaven with a bright feeling. One monthter, he returned to B city pleased and immediately went to the best and quietest area in the city to purchase a small vi. After buying some furniture, he finally moved in.


    __________


    Afterfortably soaking in the bathtub to wash away his exhaustion, Ye Zhizhou climbed on to the bed and grabbed his phone. He looked at the calendar to calcte the passing time while thinking about his current aplishments.


    He poked thepact mirror and asked, "You said I''ll get a reward if Ipleted a mission. So, where is it?"


    He''d been busy with all sort of things sinceing to this new world and had almost forgotten all about it.


    Thepact mirror moved its fake rabbit ears, and with a ''ck'' sound, the lid opened. Light emitted from the mirror and swept Ye Zhizhou''s wrist. When the light eventually disappeared and the lid closed again, a screen pop-up message came up: [The reward isplete]


    He looked at his wrist only to find a mole-like thing on it. He speechlessly opened his mouth, "Are you kidding me?"


    [Space Dimension. Essential for world-traveler. You deserved it.]


    "......So I worked hard to save the world and the reward was a booger-like looking space dimension on the wrist?"


    This kind of thing can be easily obtained with a little money in his world. What kind of reward is this?!


    The mirror lid opened once more and the light swept his wrist again. The mole-like thing transformed into the shape of a delicate and antique small hand mirror.


    "...... I''ll tear down your fake ears!"


    __________


    In a sh, time finally arrived at the middle of June when protagonist had finished her college entrance exam. The drama series had also finished filming and was now being broadcasted every night. In just barely half a month, ¡¶Fate, let me love you¡·''s rating had gone from the bottom to the top in beautiful counterattack. The actors in the drama had also risen in poprity, and quickly grabbed the public''s attention. The hard to brush off sense of existence!


    The media responded instantly. They continuously went with the flow to report this summer drama''s dark horse. They also released a bunch of the conference photos. Starting from blog ranks to a public tform version.


    Still photos from the series, private photos, interview photos, Zhang Xinran and Yao Cheng''s face were everywhere. Public opinion on them, along with the drama''s publicity, kept rising up. Their scandals and works continuously being mentioned by fans.


    After more than half a month since the drama''s initial broadcast, to follow this small tide of enthusiasm, Zhang Xinran posted her exam grade on her blog along with her admission notice. It surprised many of her fans and also stirred up some people to dig up some dirt about her scandalous partner, Yao Cheng''s educational background.


    High school graduate and only two years in college...... One is a future great university student, while the other only has a high school level education. Seeing them side by side, it''s somewhat not well-matched, ah. Besides his background, many negative news about Yao Cheng was also dug up. A hypocritical and selfish nature that hard to get along with, alwayste with no sense of responsibility when shooting, rude manners with an arrogant way of talking...... In short, apart from his face, he has no other advantage.


    One by one, the people''s good opinion of him was flooded in dark powder, gradually wearing down. After his idol halo light was strained, his unripe acting in the drama also being criticized. Especially when he acted along the outstanding Zhang Xinran, the awkward performance felt increasingly more severe.


    Along with the professional aesthetic part on the lead actress, the topic of the neer''s act also was flooding the inte. About how Yao Cheng is unmatched with Zhang Xinran, the same opinion about the best and worst acting skill, and topics about how a morallycking person shouldn''t enter the entertainment circle to just ''dredge for money'' also began to emerge.


    Gossip gradually disappeared, Zhang Xinran''s CP powder was not shown again, whereas for Yao Cheng, he was covered with dark powder.


    <i>{Ed. Note: Inte ng. CP powder is referring to fans who wish for the main couple of a movie to get together in real life (in this case, Yao Cheng and Zhang Xinran), and dark powder is referring to anti-fans}</i>


    Zhang Xinran closed her blog in satisfaction and opened some new contract invitations. After some consideration, she chose Mu Tian''s. Her first step in the entertainment circle was very sessful and now it''s time to start the second step.


    ___________


    Yao Cheng was vigorous, and with Ye Zhizhou inside his body, the game was joyful. Thanks to his detailed strategy and tremendous luck in the game, he gained Li Hao''s friendship very quickly, also bing a top rank in the game that no one could shake.


    After KO-ing Li Hao once again, he took of his headphone and scrolled down his blog on his phone. He squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then he poked the lifeless Li Hao and grinned, showing his white teeth, "Hao Ge, do you want this rare orange ne?"


    <i>{T/N: An essory in an online game, same with the equipment he mentioned in thest chapter. They''re discussing a game}</i>


    Li Hao instantly changed from a salted fish to a fierce tiger, he pounced to hug Yao Cheng''s thigh, "I want it, I want it, I want it. Seek for guidance!"


    Heughed while waving his phone, "Then we should take a picture of this evening and then invite the brothers over to eat some meals."


    The brothers he talked about were several young actors who also yed in the drama. During this time, he used food and money to build a deep enough friendship with them.


    Li Hao stared nkly, then frantically nodded, "Yes, yes, yes. Take photo. Invite them. Whatever they want to eat then eat, it''s my treat!"


    _________


    At 9.30 p.m, after strolling around on some blog, the idle fans finallye across Li Hao''s. Seeing the new post about the famous new game blogger, they curiously went in only to be surprised.


    Photos! Many photos! Obviously these''re recent photos. ¡¶Fate, let me love you¡·most of the actors'' dinner photo! The main thing is that the photos were sent by the game blogger and forwarded by Li Hao! From the photo''s point of view, the game blogger seems to be Yao Cheng himself!


    ...... The original Yao Cheng doesn''t have an open blog, he can''t use his blog in a proper way, ah! Fans are busy dissing him in various way but he himself just simply drinks, eats, and ys games. Totally different from what it said in the news!


    Take a look at this casual eye-catching photos, at that not just pretty face but also fair and delicate skin, finally at those arms around each other''s shoulder and the director who was almost clinging on to his body...... Loathed by everyone because of his difficult personality and alwayste behavior? The director never praises him and regrets choosing him as the lead actor? Looking at these photos, the former news just fooling everyone, right?


    Anger came fast like a hurricane. Thinking that they are just being yed by the hot-headed fans, they started digging the original source of this negative news. A bloodbath was about to unfold on the inte.


    ______________


    Ye Zhizhou pushed the drunk Li Hao away. He stood up to go to the nearby restroom, but after finding out that they''re all full, he helplessly returned to the second floor. While rubbing his dizzy head, he followed the sign that led to the ce he can solve his physical problem.


    Wine can indeed torture people, no wonder Yun Ke never let him touch it too much.


    Yun Ke...... His hand stopped moving, then he kneaded his head harder, unconsciously increasing his walking speed.


    Must not think, must not think. Must do the mission properly......


    A door in the middle of the corridor suddenly opened, and a tall figure came out from inside. Catching him unguarded, the man knocked against him and unfortunately also knocked his forehead against the door. His dizzy head because of the alcohol became even dizzier, and everything was all blurry.


    A faint of mint fragrance came to him, making him unconsciously grab its source and get closer to it. He said in a low inaudible voice, "Yun Ge......"


    Ouyang Chun reflexively reached out and held the youth, his brows slightly wrinkled. He was surprised with himself as to why he did this kind of movement. When he was just about to push aside the youth in his arms, that strange sense of happiness suddenly appeared again and quickly upied his brain.


    Can''t lose, must hold tight.


    Intuition told him so, his mind doesn''t have enough time to analyze this but his body already held the youth close to him. He couldn''t stand intimacy, let alone letting someone approach him, yet the youth in his arms fit and made a feeling of not wanting to let go in his heart.


    This is the person; he must not let go of him.


    "Uncle." Qing Xiao finally caught up to him, and seeing the person in his arms, he asked in puzzlement, "This is......"


    He looked away for a mere 10 seconds, where did this guye from?


    Ouyang Chun didn''t answer, opting to look down at the person''s face in his arm. He looked at the youth''s unfocused eyes which were filled with confusion, and that strange happy feeling got even stronger.


    Ye Zhizhou''s dizziness quickly went away, and his vision got clearer. He saw an unfamiliar face but the aura surrounding this man was very familiar. Then the tenth year spiritual force of Yun Ke instantly activated, moving around on the man in front of him.


    No, Yun Ke is already dead, dead in his arms.


    His reasoning quicklye back. His spiritual force suppressed the newly activated force and he pushed away the man''s body. Attempting with no avail, he couldn''t help but feel his face sink.


    "Sorry to bump into you. Sir, can you let me go?"


    "Your name."


    Deep and gentle voice, very pleasant to hear.


    He stared nkly, looking up at the other''s indifferent and cold eyes, his heart swayed and quickly sobered up.


    "Strangers met by chance that''s all, no need for introduction. I still have something to do. Goodbye."


    Then Ye Zhizhou rudely pushed the man away to walk ahead and quickly disappear around the corner.


    The happiness in Ouyang Chun quickly faded away, his chest that was being leaned on a while ago gradually lost that person''s warmth.


    Not enough, just merely hugging like this, not enough.


    He looked at his hand, all kind of dangerous thoughts dashed in his head.


    Want to take that person back, hold him, tie him in his arms, lock him, upy his body and mind, cut off all his ways out,pletely own him, encroach him, have him for life.


    Qing Xiao was startled with his uncle''s current dark aura, he hesitated called, "Uncle......?"


    Ouyang Chun put down his hand, his gaze became soft and turned indifferent, but still let people tremble in fear.


    "I want him."


    "Uncle?" Qing Xiao truly surprised this time. After following his uncle for all these years, this was the first time seeing him want something this intensely. Thinking carefully, Qing Xiao opened his mouth to ask for the reason, but after seeing his uncle''s dark hooded eyes, his heart trembled. He swallowed the words and carefully lowered his head. "......Yes."

 Chapter 19

    HI, I''m back ^^ thank you for your patience everyone, it ended quicker than i thought XD


    I changed the term blog into Weibo here, it suited more i think


    So, here''s the new chapter.. enjoy :)


    Editor :


    _______________________________


    At 10.30 a.m, Ye Zhizhou rolled out from his nket with dispirited look and a gloomy air; "Heaven, give me some sweet bean."


    Heaven moved his fake ears, and with a ''ck'' sound, he exposed an orange pill; [It''s not sweet bean, it''s a soothing pill.]


    "Okay, soothing pill." Ye Zhizhou just echoed nkly, and picked it up. Slowly closing his eyes, he swallowed the pill. His mind finally cleared up after getting rid of his hangover. He confusedly touched the bump on his forehead, "Why did I get this swollen?"


    Heaven answered his silly question; [Knocked something.]


    Vague memories came through his mind - a faint mint fragrant, a strong warm embrace, a deep and gentle voice... He forcefully pressed down the bump on his head, and the instant pain made all his thoughts go away. While holding back his tears, he poked the system wildly, "Quick, give me some painkiller, it''s really hurts."


    [The system is not an omnipotent existence.]


    "Don''t you specialise in selling drugs?"


    The system was quiet as a chicken.


    The warm morning interaction was broken by the ringing of the phone. Ye Zhizhou rubbed his face and wiped a tear. He took the phone and saw an unknown number calling, and after some debate, he then picked it up, "Hello, who''s this?"


    "Xiao Cheng!" Li Hao''s murderous pig-like howl shot through his eardrum, "You must calm down. I''ll try to find someone to control the public opinion on Weibo. You just have to calm down!"


    "You''re the one who must calm down." He put his phone away and covered his ear, "What happened? Are they saying I harassed Zhang Xinran, or my aunt came out to me me?"


    Li Hao stopped his shouting, then said "You know?"


    Of course he knows, he was the one who orchestrated this whole thing from behind.


    After calming Li Hao down, he stretched and got out of bed. He simply washed his face and brushed his teeth before finally settling down for breakfast. He turned on hisptop to see the big drama.


    A fan''s power really was something. He just posted these photos at 9.00, and by 11.00, the furious fans who were enraged tried to found out the connection among the ounts. Following the trails, they found out Deng Jun''s small ount, and with this ount, they finally found his main ount. Because of this shocking news, they madly shooting questions at him.


    Deng Jun has a narrow and bad temper. He could only endure less than an hour of these bombarding questions. He had yet to join anypanybel, so his actions had no restrictions. After the explosion of the drama, and his high empty poprity, he became somewhat smug and conceited. He talked without regard to his image, saying what he wanted to say without a filter; unconsciously revealing his jealousy and disgust towards Yao Cheng; andplete admiration for Zhang Xinran.


    Fans were stunned; the love triangle between those three unexpectedly transferred from the drama into the real world! It''s just that the affectionate and gentle perfect second male lead turned out to be this jealousy filled ugly heart in real life; just like a vile character shadowing from behind.


    This image overturn is too much! Fans feel the need to calm down.


    After calming down, they got excited once again. Although Deng Jun was very low and very annoying, he broke out an incredible news; Yao Cheng really likes Zhang Xinran! He also chased after her! The gossip wasn''tpletely fake!


    Some fans were so thrilled that they were overjoyed in spreading the news. The vast majority of fans were in a subtle mood. And a small number of fans were heartbroken, and became a ball crying in the corner.


    Deng Jun absolutely hated seeing Zhang Xinran and Yao Cheng''s name linked together, and seeing how the fans were getting foolishly excited, he couldn''t help but to pour cold water - Your beloved Yao Cheng was just in a one-sided love with Zhang Xinran, even after she rejected him many times, he still pestered her. It''s particrly disgusting, Xinran also feels very vexed towards him.


    With this cold water pouring down, the fans'' hearts cooled and their spirits went flying.


    Some fans were vigorously risen up and torn down, a few fans were trembling like a tiger seeing the dawn, and majority of fans were calm and merely chuckled in their heart. Before smearing Yao Cheng with ck material, they didn''t even know whether the news was true or false; Deng Jun''s words couldn''t be trustedpletely either. If they just made a chicken fly, and a dog jump, it''s simply wasting time. To smear someone, or expose some scandals, first please speak with evidence.


    Exactly at 8 a.m, the evidence came out. Yao Cheng''s aunt''s interview broke the media. In the interview, she harshly criticised Yao Cheng, talking about how he was such an ingrate; forgetting his family after getting famous and rich. Finishing the scolding with resentment, she also blurted out Yao Cheng''s bad conduct from childhood till now. Skipping ss, rebelling at the teacher, smoking, getting a tattoo, and getting mixed with a bad circle. He got puppy love at 16 years old, and at 18 years old, he harassed a girl which led to her fathering and beating him up.


    After being epted into college, he ran away from home. Only acting studying for 2 years, he dropped out. Really, full of notorious misdeeds and has no repentance at heart. In the end, his aunt also shed crocodile tears and apologized to Zhang Xinran, saying that its her family''s fault for not disciplining the child properly. She also asked the ''great'' person to not make arger dispute.


    So when Li Hao woke up and found the news, public opinion had already been uncontroble. Many of Yao Cheng''s former childhood ssmates also spurted out the next jump on Weibo. They constantly made explosive news till now; so the white clean Yao Cheng had been finally stained all ck.


    Ye Zhizhou yawned, very pleased with this oue. While moving his finger, he was ready to post the previously well-prepared material to the inte, waiting for the best time. A wonderful reversal was about to begin.


    Calcting the time from the system data, it should be just a few days before the protagonist joined the Mu Tianbel. He took his phone and searched for Li Hao''s number, ready to use his connections to get himself into Mu Tian too. After coaxing and feeding him for all this time, it''s time for Li Hao to return the favour.


    When he was about to dial the number, an unknown call suddenly came in.


    After the press conference, he had changed his number, and not many people knew his new number. This sudden unknown call... with a guess in his mind, he touched his chin, then cleared his throat, and answered, "Hello, who''s this?"


    The opposite voice is very pleasant to hear, the attitude is also quite attentive. With just introducing himself...


    "Mu Tian?" Surprisingly, not like the original plot, is Yao Cheng''s good luck star finally flowing? He was a bit surprised and asked, "You want to sign contract with me?"


    Qing Xiao looked at the man sitting with drooped eyes across of him, the Ouyang Chun whose thoughts couldn''t be predicted. He spoke more cautiously, "Not us. It''s my <b>boss</b> who wants to sign you."


    Not aware why the man intentionally emphasized the word boss to him, Ye Zhizhou now felt like a very sleepy man who was bestowed a pillow by God; a joyful feeling of a starving man who received juicy meat from the Heavens. He directly answered, "Yes. I want to sign the contract. When can we discuss this?" Thank God! His poprity was now all ck, and Mu Tian unexpectedly wanted to sign a contract with him. Miracle! An unexpected joy! Thanking the boss who has insight in recognising pearls!


    After getting the other''s positive response, Qing Xiao felt the pressure, so he suggested, "How about two o''clock this afternoon? We can send a car to pick you up." The low pressure had been there since morning, he didn''t dare to dy this any longer.


    "No problem." Ye Zhizhou was also afraid to lose this chance to embrace the juicy meat, so he hurriedly took a bite, "You don''t have to pick me up, I live near the Mu Tian building. It''s very convenient. No need to trouble you."


    After hanging up the phone, Qing Xiao looked at Ouyang Chun, "Uncle, the time is decided. Want me to call He Zhenheng? Also, which contract grade will you will be signing him?" The sry was definitely the highest, but about the term; the longest term, which was 10 years? Or the flexible term of one year?


    "No need." Ouyang Chun finally came to life from his silent state. He removed a few dust particles and held the bead on his wrist; faintly talking, "Not an actor contract. Assistant contract."


    "Assistant?"


    "He can only sign as an assistant." He slightly narrowed his eyes and seemed to think about something. Slowly, slowing down, "My assistant."


    ___________________


    At 2 p.m, Ye Zhizou entered the gorgeous Mu Tian entrance, but very unfortunately met face to face with Zhang Xinran in the elevator.


    "Why are you here?" The always showing her ''mature and calm'' side, Zhang Xinran, finally showed her rarely seen ''young girl unstable'' expression, staring at Ye Zhizhou with an unbelieving face. She saw the farce on Weibo this morning, and although the event far exceeded her n, Yao Cheng''s poprity was truly in the slump. He should be under the pressure while staying at home right now. How can he show up here?


    Ye Zhizhou also didn''t expect to meet the protagonist here. But his brain finally cleared up; she must have alsoe to sign the contract. Then, he hooked up his lips and showed his perfect smile, "Xinran, why are you also in here?"


    Zhang Xinran who quickly lost her good mood only nced at him. Do not understand why he still shows kindness and good opinion towards her; she slightly raised her chin and indifferently answered, "I came to sign the contract."


    The protagonist always ignored Yao Cheng, or replied with cold look after rebirth. Ye Zhizhou didn''t mind, he leisurely said, "What a coincidence. I have alsoe to sign the contract."


    Zhang Xinran''s proud face suddenly stiffened, and she faintly knit her brows, "How can you..."


    The elevator dinged, and slowly opened, interrupting her speech.


    Remembering her goal in Mu Tian, she quickly sorted out her expression and bearing, preparing to use the most perfect image to start her Mu Tian career. As for Yao Cheng, this almost obsolete actor, there was no need to pay attention.


    Both of them didn''t expect that there was someone outside the elevator who was waiting to greet them.


    "Wee to Mu Tian." He Zhenheng stepped forward and shook their hands. His slightly prominent ordinary face made people unconsciously rx, and he spoke, filled with a smile, "I''m He Zhenheng, Mu Tian''s agent." Then he pointed to the slightly serious looking woman beside him, "This is Zhao Ping, and both of your contracts will be separately discussed by us."


    He Zhenheng, Mu Tian''s top agent; outstandingwork skills, and many methods in nurturing an actor. Now, he personally came to wee the protagonist, surely they must have been in contact before. Thinking like this, his eyes moved from the intimacy between He Zhenheng and protagonist, towards Zhao Ping. He Zhenheng and the protagonist together made a heap, so his contract should be handled by this seriousdy. But in the original plot, there was no agent called Zhao Ping. Ah, was her presence just too weak or had he simply missed it?


    Aware of his nce, Zhao Ping slightly nodded to him, and walked towards the elevator, pushing the up button.


    "Going up?" He said, while catching up.


    Zhao Ping nodded, then enter the elevator and said, "Your contract will be signed upstairs."


    He followed her in with some doubt inside his heart. Highest floor... isn''t that the President''s office? He only came in to sign the contract, why does he need to go to such a high ss area? Moreover, why didn''t the protagonist have to go?


    Downstairs, Zhang Xinran noticed these two people leaving, and pretending to be curious, she asked with a puzzled look, "Why are they going? Are they not signing the contract?"


    "Of course not." He Zhenfengughed while waving his hand. Unwilling to talk more, he just vaguely responded, "That child''s contract and your contract are not the same. It''s for the higher ups to see, so he need to go up."


    A light shed through her eyes, and then she smiled, "Oh, not the same, ah." With Yao Cheng''s current poprity and circumstances, how can they be signing the same contract, right?

    ____________________


    Mu Tian had a big building with 35 floors in total, and the Director was very heroic and contracted the top two floors. It was already mentioned in the system''s information that the director was actually on the 34th floor; the 35th floor being an independent floor. One must have a pass key to use the special elevator, which was reserved for the behind-the-scenes major stockholders, and the private room of the money cow; Ouyang Zhi. Without the master permit, one couldn''t simply enter it.


    However, Zhao Ping was currently bringing him past the 34th floor elevator, and towards the 35th floor elevator, very casually taking out a maic card to swipe open the exquisite mahogany door. After entering it, she handed over the card to him, even more casually, "Hold on to this; this is a special pass card. You can ess every part of thepany with it, including the security maintenance room on the 17th to 18th floor. Please take good care of it." She said these earth-shaking words while walking with arge stride toward a spacious and gorgeous hall which was facing the south. "This is the 1st corridor, and at the end of the corridor is your lounge; three rooms and one hall. Next to the lounge is the piano room and a small independent kitchen. The food and beverages in the refrigerator will be restocked daily. The phone inside is also directly linked to the restaurant kitchen on the 5th floor, and you can order your meals from there. Thepany will take care of the expense."


    Ye Zhizhou took the card with a nk and stupid look.


    The room was covered with carpet and when walking, there was no sound at all, making Zhao Ping''s words even clearer, "Thepany will provide you with a design team and a PR team. The development n will be made as soon as possible for you to look over. Temporarily, there are only four bodyguards that will be assigned to you. Thepany has just transferred the men from the HQ, so they''ll probably arrive the day after tomorrow."


    There were four corridors on both side of the hall, and while speaking, they had already walked past the first, and arrived at the next corridor, which was the 3rd corridor. While walking she said, "There are signs on the door. Music room, billiard room, multimedia room, game room, and an indoor swimming pool. You can you use them as you wish." Upon arriving the end of the corridor, she opened the door and said, "This is the recording studio, it''ll be yours to take care ofter."


    He stared at thebel above the studio room with wide eyes, and forcefully shook his head in his heart. No! This is obviously Ouyang Zhi''s studio! Only the protagonist and the crew team were allowed to enter it! He read and studied a lot, he won''t be cheated!


    "This is the studio''s spare key. The entrance code is 888123. If you don''t like it, you can change the code."


    "..." A premonition rose in his heart; isn''t it somewhat a bit too good to give him this much considering his circumstances? Feels like a conspiracy...


    Zhao Ping closed the door and brought him back, "There''s a passage connected to the 4th corridor ahead, you can go in directly. There are a few small conference rooms and offices. If you want to hold a meeting with the team, you can directly go in there. No need to worry about the conversation''s content leaking."


    "<b>Zhao </b><b>Jie</b>, please hold on." He didn''t dare to keep listening to this. "I still haven''t decided whether to sign the contract or not. Isn''t it a little too early for thepany to arrange all this for me?"


    <i>{T/N: </i><i>Jie</i><i> means older sister, so it simply means Sister Zhao}</i>


    "You''re not gonna sign?" Zhao Ping turned around and looked at him. She finally took the document in her hand, and flipped it toward the signature page, extending it in front of Ye Zhizhou. She raised a pen close to it, "Five year contract with the bestmission n. We won''t force you to take the job. It only has one requirement, which is that within the contract period, you are strictly prohibited from dating and spreading any scandals."


    <i>{T/N : So I guess it''s not an assistant contract?}</i>


    The meat pie was too big; he didn''t dare to sign.


    Zhao Ping saw his hesitation, then added a dose of hot items, "As long as you sign this, you can be the second Ouyang Zhi, Mu Tian''s resources are all for you to pick."


    Ouyang Zhi! This world''s male lead!


    <i>{T/N: what term should we call the harem member of the protagonist? Because for me, ML is the term for the MC''s lover. So in this world, Yao Cheng/Ye Zhizhou = MC, Ouyang Chun = ML, Zhang Xinran = Protagonist... what is Ouyang Zhi?</i>


    <i>The raws said Ouyang Zhi! Male lead!}</i>


    The g radar in his head quickly ran, and thinking of his currentck of progress in the world mission, he soon picked up the pen with some hesitation, "I have a request.". In order to get close to Ouyang Zhi, no matter what demon Mu Tian has, he''ll fight them all!


    Zhao Ping raise her hand and briefly touched her stud earrings, "Say it."


    "Bing the second Ouyang Zhi is not necessary." He took the pen and aimed it at the signature line, then said seriously whilst looking straight at her eyes, "After I sign this, I want you to arrange as much works as possible for me to get in touch with Ouyang Zhi."


    Zhao Ping''s brows moved, and she touched her earring again, paused for a while before finally nodding and responding with a "No problem."


    After signing the contract, he must ept the boss''s summons. He originally thought that Zhao Ping would take him to the 34th floor to see the Director, or Head Manager, that Ouyang Zhi asked to oversee Mu Tian, but unexpectedly she brought him to the only corridor that hadn''t been introduced before, the 2nd corridor.


    "Is Director Hu here?"


    "You mean Hu Zongze?" Zhao Ping looked at him strangely and shook his head, "No, your boss is not him."


    He frowned in bewilderment; Hu Zhongze is the name of the director, he signed under Mu Tianbel, if his boss is not him, then who could it be?


    They went straight through the corridor and finally stopped at the end room. Zhao Ping stepped forward and knocked the door, waiting for the response before opening the door. But she didn''te in, instead she stepped back and gave an inviting gesture at Ye Zhizhou.


    "You''re noting in?"


    Zhao Ping handed over the file to him, recing the answer with an action.


    After pausing for a while, he took the document and stepped into the room. His heart was suddenly filled with doubt. He felt a mixed feeling after finally seeing the Mu Tian he had wanted to see so much.


    At the first glimpse of the room, he saw a huge French window and the warm afternoon light shining through it, directly into the room; covering everything with a warm yellow light, adding a warm touch to the cold colored furniture. Zhizhou took his eyes off the window to roam the room, eyeing the sofa in front of it, and following the bookshelves leaning on the wall, to the potted nt, and finally arriving at a tall figure standing in front of a bookcase.


    It was a man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, and an upturned butt; a perfect body. Also, his side profile was perfect to the point it could shake someone''s soul. At this time his eyes were lowered, and his slender fingers lightly turned over the yellowed page of the book, bringing the highest quality of elegant charm.


    A very charismatic man.


    Unlike Yun Ke''s cold asceticism, this man''s temperament held dangerous wildness, which made people afraid and captivated at the same time.


    "Yao Cheng." A deep gentle voice spoke, vaguely familiar. The man turned around and looked at him, amber eyes cold and shing with hidden emotions, "You like Ouyang Zhi?"


    After first contact with the cold, indifferent and impressionable expression, the vague memory in his mind gradually cleared up. He couldn''t help but raise his hand towards the swollen bump on his forehead, and utter out in shock, "It''s you?"


    "I''m d you remember me." Ouyang Chun slightly hooked up his lip, his eyes revealing pleasure. He put down the book and walked towards him, lifting his hand and touching Zhizhou''s swollen forehead. He then said with deep and hidden meaning, "I will make you always remember."


    As the man approached, the spirit around him began to activate likest time, uncontrobly wrapping around the other body.


    No!


    He forcefully took a step back, roughly suppressing the spiritual force inside his mind; his heart slightly flustered. How can this be, by encountering this man, his spirit became uncontroble. This situation only happened when he faced Yun Ke.


    Could it be that this man... he looked up and carefully examined the figure before him. His mind became somewhat dazed for a moment before forcing himself to sober up.


    No, that was a slim hope. How dare he expect it, what if he''s mistaken? Yun Ke was only one person, and this man was not him; no one would be. So no, may not, must not think about it.


    He raised his hands and pressed on the swelling on his forehead, trying to crush his thoughts with pain.


    "What are you doing!" Ouyang Chun quickly grabbed his hand and used the other to raise his chin, "Yao Cheng, look at me. What are you afraid of? Nobody here can hurt you."


    The strength on his face seemed fierce, but he was actually so gentle with him. He was forced to look at the man''s angry yet concerned eyes, and his soul slightly trembled. Too simr, this look...


    "Yao Cheng!" Ouyang Chun''s patience was running out. He bowed his head close to him, and the strength holding the wrist unconsciously increased. The tone was suppressed and dangerous, "Who are you thinking about when you see my face? Ouyang Zhi? Does he look a lot like me?"


    "Ouyang Zhi?" Zhizhou unconsciously repeated the words, his mind gradually filling with the memory. Those two eyes that were full of a familiar feeling, he couldn''t help but want to touch the other man. How long had it been since he saw these kinds of eyes... his nose gradually became sour, and his eyes became slightly red, the sadness rushing forward. The spirit force that had been suppressed inside his mind started to boil up, struggling toe out.


    Ouyang Chun''s angry eyes quickly faded away after seeing the reddish eyes, realizing the younger man''s intention to touch him, he paused for a while before slightly leaning his head, touching his finger. He extended his arms and held the young man, mood gradually settling, before staring deeply at him, "Yao Cheng, be good. If you want anything, I''ll give it all for you."


    After finishing work and getting time to return, Ouyang Zhi pushed open the door with a fully smiling face. His aim to call to his uncle was scared to the back of his throat as he saw the ambiguous posture of the two men in front of him. After choking for a while, he dryly said, "Uncle, you - you''re trying to find an aunt for us?"


    Ye Zhizhou who was sinking into a confusion of memories finally returned to his soul after hearing these words. With a brief and nk look at his own ambiguous posture, he quickly struggled to push away the man in front of him. He looked sideway to see the Big Movie Emperor who appeared at the door, his rational mind and system data quickly connecting, "Ouyang Zhi?" He looked at the intruder, then looked at the dark face of the tall man who was pushed away, and his brain short-circuited, "You, what did you call him? Uncle?"


    Seeing his somewhat doubting reaction, Ouyang Zhi directly answered, "Yes. If I don''t call him Uncle, then what should I call him?"


    Ouyang Zhi had lost both parents and had followed his uncle untiling of age, after bing an adult, he entered show business. Two yearster, Mu Tian was established; really, an outstanding ability. After falling in love with the Protagonist, he gradually focused more on working behind-the-scenes. Three yearster, Ouyang Chun retreated from his seat due his unwell condition and enjoyed retirement. With the twins officially in charge of the group, The Protagonist had a clear opening to stand on the altar.


    His brain unconsciously brushed the system data, and then at some key words, paused. Following his uncle until big... because his body is unwell, retreated from his seat......


    Ouyang Zhi was just 26 this year... he looked at the mature man beside him. His voice a bit shaky, he spoke, "Your... name?"


    "Ouyang Chun."


    "Age...?"


    "Yao Cheng." Ouyang Chun narrowed his eyes, reaching out for his chin and looking at him face-to-face, threateningly, he said "Do you dare to dislike me?"


    Ouyang Chun, the Ouyang family''s current head, the real one in control. Ouyang Zhi and Ouyang Di''s most powerful backer. The target which the Protagonist tried to please after being married into the Ouyang family. For Mu Tian to be able to develop to this point were all dependent on this man''s resources andworks.


    He seemed to suddenly see the words above the man''s head - Golden Thigh!


    "No." His confused expression quickly changed into a firm one, eyes shing with light, "I like a man at your age!" For this world mission, moral integrity and so on, he didn''t need!

    Signing the fantasy-like contract, and holding onto a solid and iparable thigh. Ye Zhizhou politely refused the golden thigh and little nephew''s offer to send him off with their grand car, opting to return home by public transport. When he returned home, he immediately fell on his bed, rolled into his quilt and slept like a dead fish.


    Half an hourter, he woke up with a nk look. Turning on hisputer to check Weibo, he logged in to his small ount - he looked for the remaining dark threads from the morning and then changed the set times.


    -- it was a bit of a thrilling day, time to get back at society.


    ___________________________


    At 9.30 pm, fans on Weibo were as normal as usual, waiting for the day''s update as they didn''t want to skip out something amazing.


    <i>{I am a little ount}</i>: A blogger who works at XXX bank just uploaded something hot. He just came across the bank database updates today, and then secretly searched for several actors'' names. He was shocked at a new transfer record! That aunt who keeps saying her nephew is such a thankless ingrate - the one million your nephew gave you, are you just feeding it all to the dogs?


    [Picture] x9


    Hot drama, nephew, ingrate. Just with these few keywords, it is self-evident who it''s referring to!


    Fans were stirred up and continuously opened up the picture, getting stunned by the dense transfer records - especially the most recent one million transfer. These many zeroes, simply blinding! Although the important information had sunk in, the impatient fans couldn''t withstand it ah. After various of sources and hours of checking, they confirmed that the one making the transfer was indeed Yao Cheng, and the receiver was shockingly that aunt!


    Damn, this reversal. More than one million ah, if this act still makes one a thankless ingrate, then what could be called filial piety?


    As the screenshot flooded out, Yao Cheng''s cousin''s Weibo was grilled by the sharp users in less than an hour. The fans quickly summarized the main content and took screenshots.


    Showy, always picking on girls, skipping ssed, beating up the teacher...


    The dark powder covering Yao Cheng these days were all posted by this cousin. He was also very proud of his posts and sought recognition on the inte. And the most infuriating thing was his post from a few years ago when Yao Cheng was a high school student. He triumphantly said on Weibo: "Today, I dumped a big pot for that step kid. Let him remember that making serious mistakes can get one beaten up. So happy."


    The inte users were shocked to anger at seeing this. Remembering the aunt''s words, Yao Cheng was beaten up by a girl''s parent for supposedly harassing her.


    "Today, that step kid came and asked for alimony. I let mom buckle him for 100 million, ha ha ha."


    "This step kid still wants to go to college? Dream on, my mom said to just wait till he''s 18 and then drive him out."


    "That step kid entered first year, really annoying. I want to find someone to beat him up."


    "It''s the holidays and that step kid also came back. I got my punching bag back,."


    Comments like this were everywhere on this cousin''s Weibo, driving users almost insane.


    What kind of child is this! How can he be so evil! Yao Cheng sent money to this kind of rtive? Very foolish! Is there a hole in your brain?


    Then, people also dug up Yao Cheng''s past. When he was in the new term of his second year, his uncle fell sick and was hospitalized once. It was found that Yao Cheng began sending money home since then.


    <i>{A small fish}</i>: So... the reason Yao Cheng dropped out of school was because he transferred his tuition money to pay for his uncle''s treatment? Later, he also sends them money every month...


    The fans who saw thesements were silent. Before, they thought Yao Cheng was annoying - and now they wanted to love him dearly. How bad would it feel if your loved ones were bullying you to death? How bad would it be?


    Thinking carefully, the things that aunt had said actually didn''t have any evidence - they were too quick to believe it because of Yao Cheng''s initial bad impression.


    And what was the cause of Yao Cheng''s bad impression?


    The rumours.


    And what did the rumours say?


    That he was alwayste and was loathed by both the crew and the cast. Poor attitude and bad manners, antisocial and hard to get along with. Even the director said that he regretted choosing him as the lead actor...


    But obviously they already dug it up ah. Those rumours came from Deng Jun''s small ount. And before this, they also saw Yao Cheng post dinner group photos. In the photo, he, the cast and the crew all had linked arms around shoulders - drinking andughing, looking so happy. As if life had never been unfair to him, as if there was only goodwill and kindness around him.


    Is this child stupid or what.


    Some emotional fans ran back to Yao Cheng''s previous post, feeling guiltier and sadder. Also seeing that he stopped posting after the dinner group photo, they couldn''t help but feel awful for his grievance.


    This is just an ordinary boy who likes to y game ah. Where is the ck stuff saying his ugliness? Thinking carefully, Yao Cheng had just turned 21 this year - to face the overwhelming inte abuse these past few days... how could he have endured that?


    Fans repeatedly refreshed his Weibo, looking at the brief introduction on it; a smiling face.


    They felt pained.


    If you''ve been wronged just say, ah. The other scolded you, but you didn''t scold back. That kind of family, what are you doing by giving them money? You earned it with difficulty, why don''t you just use it to buy some good food? Or to continue your study? It''s also alright if you just save it.


    Look at Zhang Xinran, she''s obviously walking forward to be a superstar in people''s eyes. How can you be so miserable? You both started at the same point, how can you just end up being bullied like this?


    Everyone on Weibo was at a slump, and the drama rating ended up being much lower than thest time. Everyone just unconsciously roamed around on Weibo, just like a lost soul. They didn''t know how to vent the dejected feeling in their hearts.


    Near midnight, a detailed posted about Yao Cheng''s aunt was posted. The full venting of the fans poured in, and then with the real hammering post, their three views were all broken, mad rage rushed!


    Such a stingy, mean and greedy woman. She dared to boast as Yao Cheng''s benefactor? Pei! Shameless! She also dared to go to the local TV station to smear Yao Cheng. Really, really angers one to the point their livers hurt!


    After that, someone also dug up Yao Cheng''s donation record. After getting payments from the drama, he traveled to S city and Y city''s orphanage, donating his money and doing some volunteer works. Silently doing a lot of good things.


    Fans looked at the Aunt''s post, and then looked at Yao Cheng''s donation record and his photos with the children at orphanage while volunteering. Thest of the hesitation in their hearts finally vanished. All smashed their keyboard in guilt.


    What a good child, even with that ck miserable past. Damn that aunt, damn us even more!


    The #weoweYaoChenganapology topic quietly rose in Weibo, irresistibly shooting straight to number one - the #beautynerd and #nationschoolgirl and so on topic were firmly left behind!


    Fans flocked to Yao Cheng''s Weibo and started apologizing; begging him toe back.


    <i>{A small fish}</i>: But don''t you think it''s strange? Yao Cheng was smeared ck tragically, and only Li Hao and the other young actor came out to speak for him. Only Zhang Xinran who was ''harassed'' by Yao Cheng didn''t make a sound from beginning till end. Obviously they are both the main yers in this drama...


    Fans who were filling thements with apologies were stunned at seeing this post. They quickly rushed to Zhang Xinran''s Weibo to go over herst few days'' posts.


    Nothing, not a single line mentioned about Yao Cheng. The posts were just messages of gratitude and appreciation towards the director, happiness because of some other invitation from an actor and so on. The most recent post was about celebrating the new contract with the Mu Tianbel, getting a forward lottery and sending a signature photo.


    Good subtlety.


    The opening had been buried, this night was doomed to be tumultuous.


    ___________________________


    Ye Zhizhou turned off theputer in content after logging out from his ''A small fish'' ount and erasing all the traces of his secret work. After stretching his body, he climbed to bed and slept.


    ___________________________


    On the 35th floor of Mu Tian building, Ouyang Chun shut down theputer and picked up his phone to call Qing Xiao. He simply said a few sentences before hanging up. He leaned back on his chair and slowly gripped the beads to forcedly rub at it. His tone was cold, "Xiao Cheng, harassed girlfriend?"


    ___________________________


    At 8.00 am, Ye Zhizhou was awakened by the doorbell. He stumbled out of bed in a dazed, and yawned before opening the door.


    "Morning." Ouyang Chun, who was dressed in a simple white shirt and ck pants, slightly rose his hand to greet him. His deep looks were outline with the morning sun, the handsome looks almost making people want to throw themselves at his feet.


    Ye Zhizhou''s spirit who also just awakened quickly activated, eager to pounce itself on the man. His, uh, little brother who was easily excited in the morning also stood up against his will.


    His mind was instantly cleared by this. His hand moved faster than his brain, directly mming the door.


    After a few seconds of dead silence, the doorbell rang insistently.


    After getting back his rationality, his IQ finally resurrected. His heart thumped and the little brother finally calmed down.


    Oh no! His golden thigh!


    He quickly jumped over to open the door, showing the dark faced man his his ttering smile, "Boss, you came. I''m just too excited that my hand slipped. Umm... Did you already have breakfast?"


    Ouyang Chun looked at him with narrowed eyes, looking at his sticking up hair to the cor revealing pyjamas, then continuing down to the round, smooth toes. With deep and serious eyes, he said "Compared to breakfast, I want to eat you more."


    Bang¡ª


    The door was closed again.


    Ouyang Chun''s patience was finally gone, and the corner of his mouth was pulled into a straight cold line. He reached backwards, "Key."


    Qing Xiao stepped forward in silence, and took out the spare key provided by the property manager. Hesitantly, he said, "Uncle, this is not a good way..."


    "Disobedient children need to learn a little lesson." Ouyang Chun used the key and opened the door, looking at the scared youth inside. "You cane to me and follow me to the car by yourself, or grabbed, tied up and taken away. You choose."


    The so called honorific can kill. Ye Zhizhou cracked his neck and pulled up his pyjamas, he then...chose a wise option, "That... can I go brush my teeth first?"


    One hourter, Ye Zhizhou''s hand was stuffed with a steamed bun and the other with a milk cup with a straw - the straw being personally inserted by Ouyang Chun. They entered B city, where outside a shooting base.


    The blindingly handsome Ouyang Zhi came in. Smilingly, he walked toward them and waved, his tone was full with excitement. "Aunt, you came! Please give me some help with my next MV, I''m looking forward to our cooperation."


    "Ha?"


    "I saw the news on the inte." Ouyang Chun who just stood behind finally stepped forward. He touched Zhizhou''s hair and then bowed down to kiss his ear. "Don''t worry, I''ll fix it. Now just go and have some fun." Saying this, he then gently pushed him toward Ouyang Zhi.


    Ye Zhizhou took a step forward and stood still. He couldn''t help but turn around, only to see a tall figure leaving.


    [Ouyang Zhi and Protagonist love probability has dropped to 90%. Please make persistent effort, Host.]


    [Ouyang Di and Protagonist love probability has dropped to 85%. Please make persistent effort, Host.]


    "......" Ever since he was fancied by the golden thigh, the meat pie from heaven always seemed to drop for him. He stood beside the handsome Ouyang Zhi while chewing on his steamed bun - looking intently at the screen in front of him with a numb mind.

    _________________________


    This was the fifth year since Ouyang Zhi''s debut. In order to repay his fans, he - who never sang a love song before - decided to record a warm love song, nning on release it on <b>Qi Xi Festival</b>, as a gift for fans.


    <b><i>{T/N: Qi Xi or Qiqiao Festival is a Chinese Valentines Day on July 7th. It''s called Tanabata in Japan}</i></b>


    Everything was going well at first, but when the time came to discuss who should be the leading role, they had a disagreement. Some people wanted to invite the movie queen, some wanted a neer, and some felt that it was best to let Ouyang Zhi himself star in it. Everyone kept quarrelling, and it was only after Director Zhang Zhu held a couple of meeting that everyone gradually calm down. Notpromising under the proposal was useless, so he let Ouyang Zhi choose. Seeing that Ouyang the Movie Emperor was sometimes unreliable, Zhang Zhu deliberately designed the basic criteria in advance, such as: sweet, adorable, young, intellectual, strong, positive image, soft, and a girl.


    However, this Movie Emperor brought someone who didn''t match those standards at all.


    Zhang Zhu held his chest, standing still with a ck face, tilted eyes and a sneer, "Young Master Ouyang Zhi, do you have hearing problems, or are you blind?


    "Please believe me." Ouyang Zhi looked at him seriously, paused, then added, "Also, I''m the second son, Young Master is my big brother; you should call me Second Young Master."


    Themoner Zhang Zhu almost vomited blood at the natural aristocrat air. Firmly staring at him then at Ye Zhizhou, Zhu''s ruthless words got choked in his throat, and he just coldly snorted before angrily leaving.


    Ye Zhizhou watched the young director run far, finally finishing his soymilk. He poked Ouyang Zhi, "Big Nephew, are you not afraid I will fail your MV?"


    "Afraid." Ouyang Zhi was unexpectedly honest, tone gradually changing as he spoke, "But I''m more afraid that Uncle will smash my funding... Aunt," He turned around and held Ye Zhizhou''s hand earnestly and seriously said, "For my fans, please be sure to work hard!"


    "I''ll try." Ye Zhizhou withdrew his hand and put the soymilk cup into Ouyang Zhi''s hand. Gripping it tightly, he said with a more serious tone, "If you call me Aunt again, I''ll goin to your Uncle; said that you covet me for my charm and took advantage of me while shooting this MV."


    Ouyang Zhi immediately took his hand and put it behind his body.


    Mu Tian''s shared team for Ouyang Zhi were the best. One hourter, Ye Zhizhou''s sticking-up, disordered hair and homey clothes all disappeared - and as if he was walking out from a magazine, Ye Zhizhou stood in front of the camera.


    Brown hair, a face that became even more handsome after a bit of make-up, very fine skin, a gentle air, sweet and sexy smile, also with that outstanding youthfully light sweater... Damn! So handsome, ah! How can there be this much handsomeness, ah!


    Surrounded by faint female screams, Zhang Zhu forcefully coughed to press down themotion. Stooping down to see through the lens of camera, he saw Ye Zhizhou standing in front of a small castle. His dark face eased down, and standing upright, he asked, "Have you seen the script?"


    "I have." His smiling face when answering looked really cute - suppressed screams came out once again.


    Zhang Zhu angrily looked at the staff, waiting for them to quiet down, then waved his hands and motioned to start shooting. There was no detail exnation, there was also no trial - as if the one on the stage was not a neer but a veteran actor.


    Ouyang Zhi slightly frowned with worry in his heart, but it turned out to be unfounded.


    With the director cueing action, Ye Zhizhou quickly entered his state. He imagined the camera as Yun Ke and automatically revealed a sweet and depending-on smile. Holding out his hands, he made an invitation gesture, and slowly, a happy and intimate air revolved. Zhizhou turned his body around, as if pulling the heart of his lover and running towards the castle in happiness.


    "Cut!"


    The camera stopped, and everyone who was intoxicated from Ye Zhizhou''s charm finally sobered, held their faces and screamed. Aaaah! Dear,e and hold my hand! I''ll follow you! Marry me, marry me!


    Zhang Zhu was also stunned by this performance. He finally moved with a bit of uneasiness at the enthusiastic atmosphere, and repeatedly looked at the clip. Seeing that there really was no mistake, he held his breath, then opened up his puckered mouth, "It''s over, next preparation." Where did this evil neere from? It was too hard to find fault...


    The crowd couldn''t help but cheering. Ouyang Zhi''s heart fell back down to his belly, and regaining his smiling face, he touched his chin, took out his camera and aim at Ye Zhizhou - recording a video.


    At Mu Tian''s building, 34th floor, He Zhenheng was flustered by Hu Zongze shouting. He threw down a document and asked, "This is the neer you think highly of? Just joined and finished her first drama, she dares to dig a hole in the lead actor! Her mind is very poisonous."


    He Zhenheng picked up the document in confusion then turn it over, his face gradually snaking. He immediately admitted his mistake, "I''m sorry Chief Hu, it''s my mistake." A <b>poisonous spider</b> who thought herself a hardworking <b>white rabbit</b> didn''t need to be worried about.


    <b><i>{T/N: poisonous spider = someone evil and dangerous, white rabbit = someone pure and even naive}</i></b>


    "First, let''s just give this neer the cold shoulder." Facing his trusted subordinate, Hu Zongze''s anger was also quick to go. He kneaded his forehead, sighing, "In the meantime, don''t give her any contracts, also don''t let her know about this, there are other arrangements from above."


    "Above?" He Zhenheng was surprised, then hesitated asked, "Is it...the Head Office/HQ?"


    Hu Zongze looked at him helplessly, and nodded, "I will tell you this, after you handed over that in-the-pit-hole neer, Manager Zhao took him to the 35th floor and signed him an assistant contract - a special assistant, directly hired by the HQ. Towards this special assistant status, think about it yourself."


    He Zhenheng gasped. This special assistant status, isn''t it about the same level as the Vice President? He, he still thought that the other person was called upstairs because someone took a fancy of him, and want to keep him (as a mistress)...


    "In short, you need to pay more attention to that neer, don''t let her blindly go crazy again." Hu Zongze said with a sneer, face full of sarcasm, "Please keep the naivety to yourself, borrow someone else''s hand to ssh the ck material - the drama has not finished broadcasting, just hold her hand on the "A"bel. This neer''s method is not like some girl who just entered the entertainment industry. <b>Lao He</b>, be careful not to turn over the boat in the hands of a little girl."


    <b><i>{T/N: </i></b><b>ÀÏ</b><b><i> (l¨£o) means old, it is also used to show respect, but in this context it conveys the idea of a close rtionship}</i></b>


    <b><i>{Ed. Notes: The above paragraph was a bit weird in wording, not too sure if it got the actual meaning across. It means something like Zhang Xinran is a cunning neer - and that they shouldn''t let her have too many privileges. But also to not let her know as this as she may do something to affect broadcasting view rates}</i></b>


    He Zhenheng pushed down his words to thought. His heart was cold, and his back exuded cold sweat.


    After a whole day of fermentation, the public opinion on Weibo waspletely reversed. Along with the quickly washed white Yao Cheng, Zhang Xinran''s perfect reputation gradually got ayer of ash.


    After flipping through all the cast and crew''s Weibo, the fans found out a magical phenomenon. That even though on Zang Xinran''s Weibo, she seemed to have a good interaction with the others, there weren''t any pictures of her in the others'' dinner group posts. On the contrary, even though Yao Cheng never showed much on his Weibo, and didn''t interact much with the other cast and crew, his figure still could be seen in the background of the others'' posts - clearly having a quiet and good rtionship in private. The most interesting thing was that in Deng Jun''s daily post, Zhang Xinran''s bag and clothing appeared in the corner, and on Weibo, their interaction seem very official.


    A cover up only makes things more capricious, certainly sly. This was the only idea that the fans had after reading these kinds of contrasting posts.


    The popr ''Aesthetic Lord'' topic still hung, but fans only felt sarcastic now. Really a top student, her scheming is also very deep. If those transfer records didn''t flow out onto the inte, Yao Cheng probably would have beenpletely ckened away from the entertainment industry.


    Although there were a variety of spection, Zhang Xinran''s helplessness and Deng Jun''s cover was too good - aside from those clues on the photo''s corner, they couldn''t find any proof of interaction. The most frightening case was that even though fans dug deeply about Zhang Xinran, they couldn''t find any dark about her, not even an ugly photo!


    In this case - whether she was really kind and perfect from childhood till now, or someone erased her past history in advance - only her most perfect side was disyed on the inte.


    Combined with Yao Cheng''s dark past, fans were more likely to prefer the second.


    Opening up her Weibo ount, and rummaging through it again, fans thought that the former inspirational posts about ''appreciated by director'', ''valued by agent'', ''invited to XXX activities by XXX actor'', and ''honoured at getting XX title'' instantly became hypocrisy. The former excellent acting skill and greatly praise by media saying that she was someone born with a superstar nature also became proof of her profound mind.


    Zhang Xinran was only 18, but all things were maintained and helped to create her perfect image, thinking deeply to the extreme.


    Just when the atmosphere began to be awkward and delicate, Mu Tian officially issued a statement. The statement said that actor Deng Jun and Ms. Liu Chinxiu''s recent improper actions toward Mu Tian staff, Mr. Yao Cheng, had caused a bad impact and serious damage to thetter. After much deliberation, thepany had decided to entrust awyer to take legal measures against these two people. Hopefully, the two people will immediately stop all the smearing and nder against Mr. Yao Cheng after they''d seen this statement, and quietly wait for the court summons.


    A stone stirs up a thousandyers of waves!


    Yao Cheng also surprisingly signed a contract with Mu Tian! And now Mu Tian took the initiative for his sake! A neat and straight shot to the court,pletely disregarding the public war on inte. Mu Tian was so cool! How bold!


    The slightly dispirited fans cheered up, but were confused again soon after. Mu Tian sued Deng Jun and Yao Cheng''s aunt, but what about Zhang Xinran? Was she really innocent?


    <b>We Fen</b> were happy, one by one they all post that their family''s Ran-Ran was certainly innocent. Otherwise, why was her name not on the list? And <b>Ju Fen</b> said that Zhang Xinran was certainly not white - her name was not on the list simply because they were both are Mu Tian members; thepany wouldn''t let them go and create an internal affair, let otherpanies see them as a joke. That much ugliness, surely it''s the only way for an internal affair''s solution.


    <b><i>{T/N: We Fen are solo fans who only like one person from a drama or an idol group, and Ju Fen are simr to fans who like the drama itself}</i></b>


    Having no ce to vent out their subtle mood, fans began to vigorously fight with each other.


    After finishing the shooting, Ye Zhizhou who was bored to death opened Weibo. One moment, he looked at the fan war, and on the other moment, he looked at the Mu Tian statement. He supported his chin whilst in deep thought. In the end, should he continue to use the golden thigh power to step on the protagonist and cut her off from entertainment industry...?


    "What are you thinking?"


    "Zhang Xinran."


    The atmosphere around them suddenly sank, and realising this, Ye Zhizhou snapped out of it - looking back from his chair to see the man. *Blink, blink* That, this... why is the golden thigh standing behind his chair? Wasn''t the one behind him Ouyang Zhi...?


    "Who are you looking for now?"


    "Ouyang...uh"


    "Very well." Ouyang Chun lifted his hand onto Ye Zhizhou''s forehead, brushing the bangs that covered the swelling. With his tone seriously cold, and his expression dark, "Yao Cheng, I really want to lock you up, only for me to see."


    The hair on Ye Zhizhou''s neck pricked up, and an rm siren rang out in his heart.


    It is risky hugging a thigh! One need to be cautious whenpleting this mission! One absolutely cannot take shortcuts and the like, ah!

    ____________________________


    Ouyang Chun grabbed the wanting to flee Ye Zhizhou, and dragged him to the car, locking the door.


    "I read something interesting today." He raised the car window - taking off his jacket, pulling out his tie, and undoing the buttons on his sleeve. "After joining the crew for half a month, you began to pursue Zhang Xinran, hmm? You also gave presents to woo her?"


    Ye Zhizhou quickly straightened in his seat, looking at the dark eyes. His heart blowing with cold wind, he carefully moved towards the car door, "Boss, you... you calm down...."


    "Calm down?" He pulled up his sleeves and began to undo the button on his cor. Suddenly, he moved forward - one hand on the back of the chair as support, and the other pressing on the car door - firmly trapping that person in his arms, "I''m very calm now."


    Golden thigh, you seem to have a problem with your emotional perception!


    Narrow space, not a lot of distance - the always supressed spiritual force became reckless again. Zhizhou took a deep breath to calm down himself, then pushed his hands against the man''s chest, attempting resistance, "Boss, move back a bit, it''s too close." The spirit force was going to be released.


    "Don''t call me boss." Seeing him resist, Ouyang Chun''s breath became even colder. He caught the younger man''s hand and use the other to touch the back of his head. Ouyang Chun pulled him closer and used slight force to make him raise his head. Then, he moved toward his ear,


    "Remember, in the future, call my name."


    With the warm breath blowing in his ear, the numbing feeling spread from his ear to the back of his head, making his sensitive body start trembling.


    Not good!


    He hurriedly avoided the heat near his ear. Taking back his hand with struggle, Zhizhou covered and rubbed at his ears. Damn it! Why was it that even after changing his body, his sensitive spot was still in the same deadly ce!


    Ouyang Chun stopped, getting up slightly and looking at the man. His hand on the back of the youth''s head shifted, and he touched the earlobe with his thumb. With an ambiguous and deep voice, he questioned, "Is it here?"


    "What... umph!"


    His hand was pulled, and his lips were blocked. A strong mint fragrance suddenly came over him. The strong hand that keep fondling the back of his head gradually moved up and stopped at his hair whorl. Gently, Ouyang Chun began to rub it.


    Familiar ces, familiar strength, familiar movements.


    Ye Zhizhou''s mind entirely jolted up, and his struggle stopped with eyes unconsciously wide open. His intention to bite the other man also vanished immediately. He just rigidly looked at the man''s closed eyes with writhing thoughts.


    Why did you touch this ce? Why... there?


    Finding that he was no longer struggling, Ouyang Chun loosened his hands - hugging him tightly and gently patting his back, "Xiao Cheng, be good." After finishing his half-forced kiss, he leaned in and kissed the youth''s earlobe. Using an appeasing and soothing tone, he said, "I will treat you right, so just look at me, ok?"


    {Ed. Note: For those who are confused, Xiao is a term of endearment. Added on to Yao Cheng''s name, ML is basically endearing to MC.}


    Even the way offorting people and intimacy is the same as... him. Zhizhou''s consciousness blurred, and thest trace of spiritual repression finally broke, letting a huge spiritual force spread out inside the car. Surrounding the two people inside excitedly, a few uncontrolled strands began winding away towards Ouyang Chun.


    ... This person who''s kissing him now, is he the same one?


    His hand unconsciously lifted up to hold the man''s body - his eyes full of hope but hesitation shing in his heart. Whether he was Yun Ke or not... his lover had said he would wait for him in the next life... could it really be him?


    Aware of the softening responses from the person in his arms, Ouyang Chun heart grew soft. He slightly retreated, touched his forehead with his own, and gently rubbed at the other''s hair, "Xiao Cheng, I need to go back to HQ to deal with something, it should be done in 1 to 2 months. I''ll let Qing Xiao take care of you. You obediently wait for me."


    "You''re going to leave?" Ye Zhizhou snapped out from his tangled thoughts in a sh. Tightening his arms around this man, his eyes filled with a scared and fierce desire, "Don''t go!"


    Just giving him so much hope, now you want to run away? Don''t even think about it!


    "Be good." Seeing the youth''s overbearing dependency on him made his heart full with joy. Ouyang Chun''s mouth slightly arose, his expression gentle. He pinched the youth''s earlobe, and in coaxing way, said, "Don''t be spoiled, I''ll bring you a gift when I get back, what do you want?"


    Even the way he pinched the earlobe way is the same!


    The hope in his heart increased more and more, and the spiritual force also strongly wanted to defile each other''s mind, "I want you!" If he really is his lover... unexpectedly wanting to run, he can''t forgive!


    Ouyang Chun''s adam''s apple moved. Deeplyughing, the act of pinching the earlobe became even more ambiguous, and he couldn''t help but bow down and kiss the wide open lips with bright eyes, "Well, when Ie back."


    In the end, Ye Zhizhou couldn''t make Ouyang Chun to stay. He looked at the taking off ne with bitter hate, and then with all the grievance in his heart, he ran back to Mu Tian - low spirit, others also don''t get to be happy! In anger, he pulled out Ouyang Zhi to y games all night. After putting aside the dead asleep movie emperor, he moved towards hisputer and turned it on while grinding his teeth.


    Dear protagonist, prepare yourself!


    _________________________


    Zhang Xinran flipped through all kinds of ??¡õ¡õ¡õ and questions on Weibo, and the more she saw, the angrier she became. Eventually, she couldn''t help but throw the mouse.


    {T/N : It written like that in the raws.}


    How could this be! Just one day of not looking at Weibo, and this ckened g man who couldn''t get more ck was miraculously washed white! And the image she had painstakingly put a lot of effort to build had unexpectedly been criticized as deep scheme?! A bunch of mindless fans! Deng Jun and that Yao Cheng''s aunt, couldn''t do anything right!


    After a long time, she was finally able to suppress her anger. She took out her phone and looked for He Zhenheng contact. Luckily her manager was very capable, surely he could help her solve this ck water that had spilled all onto the inte.


    The phone rang for a much longer time than usual before connecting, and He Zhenheng''s attitude was much colder than usual.


    "He Ge, you really don''t care?"


    "Just a bit of a rumour, no need to pay attention. Having this opportunity, you better improve your abilities. Just do it this way, your first work will soon finish, and then when it does, I''ll find you some teachers to improve your acting skill."


    Zhang Xinran''s brain was about to explode, "I still need to improve my acting skills?" She had already be a seasoned actor after being involved in the entertainment industry for ten years in her former life. What she heard from He Zhenheng was nothing but an excuse, this was obviously the cold shoulder!


    "Youngster, don''t be so conceited!" He Zhenheng''s tone sank down, and said in a ming tone, "The young mind looks down on others, I tell you. This goes on again, and no one will be able to maintain you! Don''t look down on the entertainment industry!"


    The phone hung up, and she held her phone in disbelief, slowly tightening her hand.


    Don''t look down on entertainment industry? Zhenheng! I will surely make you regret doing this to me today!


    _____________________


    One weekter, ¡¶Fate, let me love you¡· finally finished with a big end. The fans'' war gradually stopped, but Zhang Xinran and Yao Cheng''s fans had already be an existence of fire and water - if they met, they couldn''t help but tear at each other.


    At the same time, the news about the adaptation of a famous ancient novel ¡¶Fang Hua Jin¡· into a drama was swarming the media and inte. The list of males and females starring in the drama was also announced in session, triggering round after round of hot discussion on inte.


    Zhang Xinran opened her Weibo, and saw there was still no-one as the second female lead in the cast list. With big determination in her heart, she got up and turned off theputer,ing to the wardrobe to dress up and catch the big fish.


    In her former life, they didn''t find the right actor for this role until a weekter from B city movie college. The lucky freshman along with this drama leaped forward to be the screen darling, going straight to the big screen and developing a very smooth career; very different from the other second-rate cast actors. This lifetime, that second female lead role, she must take it!


    On the ?Guanghua Streets''s caf¨¦''s ?second floor, Zhang Xinran confirmed the location before finally pushing open the door. In her past life, when she was feeling depressed, she coincidently happened to hear an old man say that the director of ¡¶Fang Hua Jin¡· often came here to drink ?on a Sunday afternoon. He also had the habit of sitting at the second row corner by the window...


    Seeing a head of gray hair could faintly behind the tall back chair, her face revealed a very confident smile. She tidied up her long skirt, then put on the ''just-right'' smile, walking towards that table.


    "Lucky to meet you today, don''t worry, you''ll be able to y the role of this character." An amiable and kind voice could be heard, and an old but vigorous hand extend from the chair''s back, "I''m very optimistic about you!"


    Zhang Xinran couldn''t help but stop, doubtfully frowning, howe this director wasn''t alone?


    A long haired maiden suddenly stood up and appeared in her vision, slightly stooping to hold that pale hand, and the voice full of joy and solemnity, "Thank you for the appreciation, I''ll work hard to live up to your expectations!"


    Tang Hua! She was the one who yed the second female lead in thest life. How could she be here?!


    Not expecting this different scene, she couldn''t help but take a step back. She idently bumped her feet into the potted nt on the side, and stumbling, she cried out falling onto the ground.


    A waiter who stood not far from her hurriedly rushed over with a concerned look, "Guest, are you alright?"


    "I''m fine." She got up with embarrassment in her heart. She turned her head sideways while pretending to fix up her skirt to cover her face, panic after seeing Tang Hua made her be careless; just like a p in the face, she felt burning embarrassment.


    From the caf¨¦ corner, Ye Zhizhou put down his phone''s video recording, got up and left.


    _____________________


    The next day, ¡¶Fang Hua Jin¡· announced the name of the actress ying the second female lead. The sweet and pretty maiden Tang Hua entered the public eye, attracting a new wave of hot discussion.


    Ye Zhizhou closed the hot post in joy. Opening up his own blog page, he posted the game strategy video he had worked on for all night onto Weibo. At the same time, he opened up Li Hao and Ouyang Zhi''s Weibo. People who had circled as if waiting for him, quickly pressed forward to pour praises.


    {Ed. Note: It really isn''t clear from the MTL, but assume that Ouyang Chun also posted that game strategy video. It''s easier to understand this way.}


    Cheng Fen and Ou Fens were all shocked!


    {T/N: Cheng Fen = Yao Cheng fans; Ou Fen = Ouyang Zhi fans}


    Our family''s Cheng Cheng didn''t abandon us! He''s still using Weibo! He still makes game strategies! He actually hangs out with big movie emperor Ouyang! He''s still ying games in our grievance and guilt! Ah...... doesn''t it look like something''s look wrong?


    Ou Fans were so excited to the point they want to kill their idol.


    You agree to give us a gift ne! Qi Xi festival ising; yet you''re not doing your song! Actually running off to y some games! We demand our gift ah! There''s also a new movie, and you''ve been off for six months! We need some new food to eat!


    Probably because fans were too passionate, just half an hour after big actor Ouyang updated his Weibo, a 10 second short video was also uploaded, with title "Fans'' Gift Teaser."


    The fans were excited! A pair of eyes full of love came onto the screen, then it blinked, and the camera was slightly drawn back. A full smile was on the handsome face, and a dream castle behind him. Lips opened up, a clear and seductive voice prating their brain and exciting their pounding hearts, "Want to go with me to see it?"


    The video ended, and the sexy voice and handsome face disappeared. Fans unconsciously held their red face, excitedly screaming.


    Damn ah! So handsome Xiao Gege. Look at him! Whatever you say, take me with you to Heaven! Aahhhh, Xiao Gege marry me!


    {T/N : Xiao = little; Gege = brother; so, little brother? Xiao Gege is referring to Yao Cheng}


    Cheng Fans who came over out of curiosity were even more excited! Their idol still has something up his sleeve! Beside ying games, he still managed to do proper work! Look at this small face that hooked people in! Vomiting blood and licking the screen! What Xiao Gege, that is my family''s Cheng Cheng! My family! Mine!


    Both fans were plunged into madness, quickly rallying together toment like crazy on Ouyang Zhi''s Weibo - we kneel down for the full version! We need Xiao Gege''sfort!


    The short video be the number one hit in just an hour when it spread wildly. "Who''s the handsome guy in the video?" This question filled every corner, and Weibo was lively like the Chinese New Year Festival.


    ______________


    Far away in Y country, Ouyang Chun close the video with a dark face, silently putting the documents on the table while emitting a cold air.


    Ouyang Diughed at this sight and asked, "Is this the Aunt?"


    {T/N: The twins actually call Ouyang Chun as second uncle and Yao Cheng as second aunt, but I''ll just write it as Uncle and Aunt.}


    Ouyang Chun didn''t reply, and he disposed the piling stacks of files to reach the phone and call Qing Xiao.


    Watching his own uncle lose his calm, Ouyang Di can''t help but sigh. He swept a look at theputer screen, and seeing his own stupid little brother''s Weibo ID, he silently lit a candle for him in his heart. Uncle turned over in jealousy, brother you have bad luck ah!


    Well, I''m very happy.

 Chapter 24

    Thanks to Lily (xiao-qi) for helping me to trante this chapter ^^


    Note :


    1. Qing Xiao name is actually Xiang Qingxiao, but I''ll just write it as Qing Xiao.


    2. Qing Xiao called Ouyang Chun as "Er Ye", it can either tranted to second uncle or second master in MTL, but now that I think of it, it seems thetter suit more. So I''ll change the calling to Master or Boss. (I''ll fix the previous chapter along the way)


    Here''s the chapter, sorry for the long wait, enjoy ~~~

    ___________________________


    On the day of the Qi Xi festival, the full version of the MV was released -Ouyang Zhi and Yao Cheng''s Weibo almost being crushed by fans. At the same time, Zhang Xinran was job-hopping and looking for a new agency.


    Ye Zhizhou who had heard the news was stunned to the point that he had almost spilled the milk in his hand, "Where did she go?"


    "Huang Tu." Qing Xiao handed over the napkin, before pausing and then kindly stating, "Please do not ask this question in front of Boss, he''ll be angry if you pay attention to Miss Zhang." If the Boss got angry, it was a guaranteed bad day for the subordinates.


    Ye Zhizhou who heard this hurriedly put down his milk, and asked, "I remember she signed the contract here - the penalty for breaking the contract is several million. Did she pay it? Also, the condition Mu Tian gave her were great, why did she change agencies?" Not even staying for months, before leaving? Directly going to her agency in her previous life, Huang Tu, to do what?


    "The penalty was paid for by Huang Tu, as for the reason......" Qing Xiao looked at him, as if wanting to say something, but hesitating.


    Ye Zhizhou was baffled by his look, "Why are you looking at me like that, is it because of me?"


    "Not at all." Qing Xiao shook his head, though of his words and exined, "Boss didn''t like Miss Zhang, and then the subordinates heard about it......"


    "......So it really is because of me." His face grew stiff, a deadpan expression gradually showing.


    Qing Xiao hurriedly summoned his courage upon seeing this, "Mr. Yao, you''re now together with Boss, please don''t care too much about this sort of thing - if the Boss know, you......"


    "Good!" His deadpan face suddenly sprung up like a blooming flower,pletelycking in integrity, Ye Zhizhou stood up in high spirits. He quickly faced the Gaming Room in joy, "Let''s y games to celebrate! Ouyang Zhi cane out and y with me!"


    Qing Xiao''s unfinished words got choked in his throat, and after his coughing fit, he just sighed. Mr. Yao''s temper...... as a supposedly golden assistant, he really was not capable enough.


    Zhang Xinran did more than just changing agency though, as she also rode the ship of the recently hot actress, Liu Fei Fei.


    <b><i>{Ed. Note: riding another''s ship is in reference to riding on someone''s coattails - leaching off someone else''s fame.}</i></b>


    The world was changing so fast that Ye Zhizhou found it a bit hard to adjust.


    The number one hot topic on Weibo currently was Ouyang Zhi''s release of theplete MV. The second hot topic was the friendly photo of Liu Fei Fei and Zhang Xinran participating in an activity together, captioned with ''<i>My newest little sister is so cute hahaha</i>''.


    The fans were all surprised at Zhang XinRan''s sudden change of agencies, and various theories began breeding like flies. No one congratted her, and many were even questioning her decision.


    Ye Zhizhou couldn''t understand why the protagonist was doing this. He moved to theputer to hack into Huang Tu''s system, being surprised at his findings: Huang Tu had signed a Grade A contract with Zhang Xinran, also giving her the same sry as Liu Fei Fei! Xinran was also given the same manager as Liu Fei Fei - the same manager who had helped Liu Fei Fei and Yao Cheng ruthlessly crush Zhang Xinran in the previous life.


    Enemies to friends, what was the protagonist thinking?


    Not waiting for him to figure it out, a phone call from Zhang Xinran came in, asking if he was participating in the recording of this weekend''s variety show in S Province.


    Her tone was reserved and cold, like a goddess of superiority. Hearing this, Ye Zhizhou just rolled his eyes, and stiffly answered, "I did receive an invitation for the program from Hao Ge. I''lle - after all, this is to promote the drama."


    Recently, Li Hao had sold the drama''s copyright to S Province''s TV station. The reason they had to participate in this variety show was to create hype around the drama yet again. Because of this, he definitely had to participate.


    "Yes." Getting a positive answer, Zhang Xinran''s attitude immediately chilled.


    With a vaguely hinting to something, she said, "Then I''ll wait for you in the program. I''ll introduce you to a good opportunity - no need to thank me." Then she directly hung up, as if he wouldn''t be able to refuse such a deal.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at his phone, dumbfounded. Was this protagonist really in the entertainment industry for more than ten years in herst life? Their fans could be said to be fire and water on Weibo - no longer contacting each other after the drama ended. Where did she find this confidence in the idea that Yao Cheng won''t refuse her? She wanted to introduce an opportunity to him? Isn''t it just wanting to dig a hole for him?


    In the Huang Tu actors'' lounge, Zhang Xinran put down the phone - tidying up her make up in the mirror. Squeezing out a simple brilliant smile, she went out to the lounge next door, and knocked. yfully, she leaned on the door and said, "Liu Jie, the full version of the MV I showed you before came out. Do you want to see it?"


    Liu Fei Fei, who was fixing up her make-up, immediately brightened up after hearing this. Putting down her lipstick, she then said, "This younger sister definitely knows me well. Where is the video? By the way, you said that you will introduce me to the actor in the video. You can''t lie to me, ok?"


    "Of course, I won''t lie to you." Xinran smiled and took out her cellphone, a dim light shing in her eyes. "I promise that I''ll introduce you properly, and let you two get to know each other."


    On Sunday, the paparazzi confirmed thatst Wednesday, Sun Han Ya, the actress who was going to be starring as the main female lead in the drama ¡¶Fang Hua Jin¡·, was suddenly arrested because of illegal drug. On the following day, the crew announced the withdrawal of Sun Han Ya from the set, surprisingly being reced by none other than Liu Fei Fei. Later, ording to the investigation, the third female lead was also involved in the case --- her role was revoked and given to Zhang Xinran who immediately epted...


    After hearing this news, Ye Zhizhou finally put away his careless attitude and frowned slightly.


    This illegal drug case was too timely.


    Sun Han Ya was someone who debuted as a child star, developing into a national level actress very smoothly. Therefore, this person was somewhat pure. In the previous life, when the protagonist was down, Sun Han Ya empathized with her, so the protagonist was very grateful to Sun Han Ya. Unfortunately, Sun Han Ya was unlucky, and she had a boyfriend who secretly used drugs. In a police anti-drug operation, she got implicated by her boyfriend. In the original story after the protagonist''s rebirth, she showed Sun Han Ya her boyfriend''s true face to show her gratitude for Sun Han Ya''s help in the previous life. They soon became good friends.


    Now, Sun Han Ya should have just started a rtionship with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend''s illegal drug case should not have been blown up at this time. After thinking it over, there was only one possibility - this was the work of the protagonist.


    Even her benefactor who had helped her in the previous life were dragged to the pit. This protagonist''s heart...... was thoroughly ck!


    Ye Zhizhou''s mood was somewhatplicated. He could understand the protagonist''s hatred for Yao Cheng and Liu Fei Fei - after all, they were the g and the mistress, they were meant to be hated. But Sun Han Ya was really innocent...... was this really the woman who was running on the front lines trying to help the suffering women and children? The protagonist?


    The news of reced cast had be unpleasant to the eyes. After careful consideration, he realised that Zhang Xinran had still gotten everything that she was meant to get in the original plot - excluding the change of agencies and her ying the third female lead instead of the second. Under such torment, the plot had still not been broken. He had thought that losing the golden thigh had blocked the protagonist''s way to re-enter the entertainment industry, but there was always another road - and all roads led to Rome.


    These tumultuous thoughts suddenly stopped, and an ominous feeling rose in his heart. If the protagonist was destined to rely on this ancient drama''s poprity, then the following event would be......


    He took a quick look at the story''s plot line, and painfully rubbed his face. When the protagonist''s poprity blew up due to the drama, Liu Fei Fei, who recently became a movie queen, kept Yao Cheng. Their intimate photos were immediately leaked, and Yao Cheng became synonymous with the words ''boy toy''. Due to this, he could not enter the entertainment industry ever again.


    The phone call from a few days ago shed through his mind - the protagonist said that she would introduce a good opportunity to Yao Cheng...... then, thinking of the protagonist who recently got close to Liu Fei Fei, and also the case with her benefactor, Sun Han Ya, who''s recement for the first female role was Liu Fei Fei....


    It seems that he was not far away from being kept for.


    When Sunday arrived, Ye Zhizhou was immediately surrounded by enthusiastic fans after getting off at the appointed ce. Their screams were deafening and the road was blocked. Fortunately, the bodyguard sent by Ouyang Chun was quite efficient - sessfully separating the fans and creating a passage for him which to the door of the TV station.


    After several waves of screaming, Zhang Xinran and the other slightly popr cast members of the crew arrived one after another. Because of the presence of the television staff, everyone acted very friendly.


    Zhang Xinran stood among several actresses. From time to time, she looked in the direction of Ye Zhizhou. Not only did he not see her, he also did not take the initiative toe and say hello. She wanted to ignore him, but remembering Liu Fei Fei who was in the hotel near the TV station, Zhang Xinran frowned. Reluctantly, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Ye Zhizhou.


    Ye Zhizhou, who was exining some game strategies to Li Hao, felt the cellphone vibrate. He took a look and saw that Zhang Xinrain had sent a message. He did not want to delete it immediately, so he merely turned it off and returned it to his pocket.


    Zhang Xinran had been observing him, and seeing his actions, she felt shocked. She dialed the phone, before realising that it was turned off. Her face immediately sank. A few months ago, he still chased after her to the brink of death, and now he just simply ignores her! What are you proud of? Sooner orter, you will kneel down and beg me!


    Throwing the cellphone in her bag, she adjusted her expression and rejoined the conversation between several actors. She looked like she was immersed in the talk while looking around, her gaze falling onto Li Hao who was talking about something. As she was doing so, a thought popped up in her mind.


    How dare you ignore me, it''s you who''ll suffer in the end, you are doomed to run away.


    It was just setting up the stage and rehearsing in the afternoon, so the official recording was to be done in the evening.


    After the rehearsal went smoothly, everyone went back to their hotel to rest. Ye Zhizhou took this opportunity when Zhang Xinran wasn''t paying attention to invade her body with his spiritual force.


    At 7pm, the recording began, and everyone performed smoothly - showing harmony and peace. The official recording was even better than the rehearsal in the afternoon, and Ye Zhizhou almost doubted that the protagonist actually had bad intentions in her heart.


    Unfortunately, it just an ''almost''. After the recording ended, everyone went to the cafeteria on the fourth floor. Ye Zhizhao looked at the drink in Li Hao''s hand, and raised an eyebrow. "Where are you from? I don''t like to drink apple juice, didn''t you know?" The original Yao Cheng actually liked this drink, but he disliked this too effeminate preference, so he never talked about it.


    "Ah, you don''t like it. I heard a few people say that you like this, and seeing that there was one on the table, I just brought it over." Li Hao scratched his head, pushing the juice to one side and foolishly saying, "Forget it, what would you like to drink, I''ll get it for you."


    "No." Ye Zizhou smiled and lifted the apple juice, getting up from his seat. "I''ll get it myself. You eat first." After patting Li Hao''s shoulder, he mobilised the spiritual power he left on the protagonist''s body and confirmed her position before slowly walking towards her location.


    At around 10.30pm, everyone returned to their respective rooms, and Ye Zhizhou lingered back for a little while. After a certain amount of calcted time, he went downstairs and mobilised his spirit to the correct position again. He walked past and wiped his trace from the CCTV along the way - easily opening the door of the 6th floor corner room, and stepping in.


    "Wasn''t it your idea to introduce Yao Cheng to me? Howe you came up alone? Also, this devilish look!" Liu Fei Fei''s looked at Zhang Xinran, who was impatiently cleaning up her things. "Really, I wasted my time, you know it''s not easy for me to get a day off. I''m sick of it. You''re useless. And I''m still looking for a chance to meet him."


    Zhang Xinran, who had already pulled down her cor, pulled it again - feeling that the room was hot and annoying. "Liu Jie, I didn''t do it on purpose. His mobile phone was turned off and there were always people around. I couldn''t find a chance to bring him here."


    "Didn''t you take the medicine? You didn''t give it to him?!"


    "It was in the water, but he didn''t drink at all!"


    "It''s useless to say you''re useless! Such a waste, not even having the ability to deliver a ss of water."


    Zhang Xinran only felt more and more heated, more and more irritable, and couldn''t help but shout loudly. "I said that he''s always surrounded by others, I cannot find the right opportunity! I''ll make sure it happens next time."


    Enraged by her attitude, Liu Fei Fei mmed down the baggage that was being tidied up in anger, "You still have a reason to talk back? You said that he was a good hook. As a result, people didn''t care about you. Also, you said that he likes you, so he''ll listen to you, all you do is be deceitful. Yao Cheng is so handsome; how could he like you? Don''t overestimate yourself!"


    Liu Fei Fei was childish and mean, selfish yet na?ve, but also very greedy and lustful. If not for her emperor-like father who was a shareholder, she wouldn''t have had such a smooth path to the position of the leading actress, and the Huang Tu agency''s top actress. In the original story, protagonist seeded in plotting against Yao Cheng, but failed to shake Liu Feifei''s status - it only made her own reputation became dirtied. It was not until she embraced the twins'' thighs that shepletely destroyed Liu Fei Fei.


    Now, Liu Fei Fei''s venting words ovepped with the humiliation she had heard when she was betrayed in thest life. Zhang Xinran, who was very irritated, mmed the table and screamed, "Well then, what about you? Do you think Yao Cheng like you? He is just with you for the resources in your hands! As a third wheel you still have a reason to talk? I''ll tell you, I will never let you feel happy in this life. Huang Tu''s top actress? Bah! A scumbag and a slut. Sooner orter, I''ll make both of you be a lowlife on the streets!"


    Liu Fei Fei was so stunned at hearing her scolding - instantly rushing forwards to pull on Zhang Xinran''s hair as soon as she came back to her senses. "You this slut, how dare you scold me! I''ll kill you!"


    "You''re the slut!"


    They both cursed and wrestled on the floor, not realising that Ye Zhizhou was in the corner. Probably due to the effect, Zhang Xinran''s hitting movements slowly changed into a...... different direction. She actually hugged Liu Fei Fei and kiss her. Liu Fei Fei''s face turned green, and she hit Zhang Xinran several times with the back of her hand. When she tried to get up, she was hugged once more, and she screamed.


    The current scene was very unattractive. Ye Zhizhou reluctantly recorded it for a while, then turned off the camera on his phone. Then, he gently opened the door and went out - wanting to continue the plot? Dream on!


    The video was cut and edited to enhance the audio, then uploaded to the inte. Half an hourter, the link was quickly sent to Ouyang Zhi, and after thinking for a while, he also sent one to Ouyang Chun.


    The love probability would reduce - Liu Fei Fei, this crazy woman, could just be left for the golden thigh to clean up. Bothersome things were for others to take care of - a good night sleep was for oneself, perfect.


    Just after the end of the ad''s shooting, Ouyang Zhi received his phone from his assistant, and seeing that the aunt sent a video address, he directly pressed ''y'', thinking it to be just a game strategy video. The next second, a woman''s quarreling scream could be heard spreading throughout the film site.


    He hurriedly paused the video - coughing and smiling an apology to the staff members around. He politely said goodbye to everyone, then tried to maintain his appearance before going into the manager car. He quickly closed the door and locked it, adjusting the volume before ying the video again.


    The video was a bit dark, and one could only vaguely see that two women were arguing. After hearing the contents of the quarrel, he was surprised. Zhang Xinran and Liu Fei Fei? And they were both fighting for his aunt? This Liu Fei Fei had a crush on aunt? How bold!


    The two women fought fiercely, then Zhang Xinran tore up her blouse and hugged Liu Fei Fei. Kissing her in a random manner - kissing the neck, and thighs still on either side of Fei Fei''s body......


    He turned off the video with a blush, feeling a little embarrassed as he rubbed his eyes.


    I didn''t think...... the girl that aunt once liked is such a despicable person - I thought that she was just a young and not too simple-minded girl......


    [Ouyang Zhi and the Protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 70%, please make persistent effort, Host.]


    To 70%?


    The sleepiness Ye Zhizhou had brewed was promptly dispersed. After thinking about it for a while, he sent a message to Ouyang Zhi. "Big nephew, this video was taken by someone when Zhang Xinran want to secretly drug me. You have to be careful, if this girl suddenly takes a fancy of you, and then secretly puts something...... she might do something when you''re not sober, and end up conceiving your child. Then, with the child, she will threaten you to marry her. If you don''t agree, she will abuse your child - if you agree, she''ll linger on you, sticking to you every day...... Aren''t you afraid?"


    After reading the message, Ouyang Zhi got goosebumps, then quickly replied, "Afraid! I don''t want my child to have such a mother!"


    [Ouyang Zhi and the Protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 50%, please make persistent effort, Host.]


    Ah, the effect of his one littlement was very good. He thought for a moment before adding, "And your uncle hates this girl very much."


    [Ouyang Zhi and the Protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 40%, please make persistent effort, Host.]


    What a good boy, listening to his elders...... Zhizhou narrowed his eyes and continued to send messages, "It''s likely that your brother also hates such an indecent girl."


    [Ouyang Zhi and the Protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 30%, please make persistent effort, Host.]


    Touching his chin, he added onest sentence. "I also hate this kind of girl."


    He waited for quite some time before Ouyang Zhi''s reply came, "I know...... aunt likes my uncle ^_^"


    "......To tell you a secret, Zhang Xinran likes you." Ouyang Zhi dropped his phone in fear at this terrifying text.


    Until the afternoon on the following day, Ye Zhizhou still didn''t receive any response from Ouyang Chun. He couldn''t help but feel a bit depressed. Remembering that he was still uncertain whether Ouyang Chun was his actual lover or not - he tried to press down the feeling of sadness, then pressed and pressed...... he became even more depressed.


    After one night, the video hadpletely spread. Several friends who had also came to the recording studio had already seen the video, and seeing the dispirited Ye Zhizhou sitting in the corner, they came up tofort him, thinking that he was sad.


    Li Hao''s reaction was the most exaggerated. With a pair of reluctant eyes, he handed over a small note, his voice shaking a bit, "Xiao Cheng, don''t be too sad. No one thought that Zhang Xinran would be such a person! Wanting to sell you...... this is my main ount with five years'' worth of gear. I''ll give it to you! Don''t be sad!"


    <b><i>{T/N: Just in case anyone''s confused, they''re talking about game ounts}</i></b>


    Ye Zhizhou nced at him, then mockingly said, "My three months old ount is still stronger than yours."


    Getting a hard blow to his self-esteem, Li Hao was seriously injured and fell to the ground. "But I also didn''t see iting - I didn''t expect this little girl, Zhang Xinran, to have such a poisonous mind. I actually had a crush on her before."


    The na?ve man shook his head, "One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Ah, I can''t imagine how her fans must have reacted after seeing the video...... the inte must be very lively now.


    The inte was indeed very lively. Zhang Xinran''s fans were shaken by the thunderous news, and almost couldn''t shake out of it. Liu Fei Fei''s character was not good, and her fans also had the same poisonous minds. Seeing that their idol was assaulted by Zhang Xinran in the video - regardless of what was right or wrong, they straight away sprayed mad words of abuse at Zhang Xinran, also insulting her fans.


    Then, the angry Yao Cheng fans quickly joined the fight, with burning hatred for the two nasty women who lusted after their idol. Really wanted to beat them to death, ah!


    After the Yao Cheng fans'' appearance, many passer-by fans also came to join, who were then followed by the Ouyang Zhi fans.


    The inte was dark and grim, and in reality, the two parties involved in the video were also in total disorder.


    Liu Fei Fei and Zhang Xinran, seeing their entangled hands and feet, and also their disorderly clothes when they woke up, almost vomited in disgust. As soon as their eyes met, they were ready to fight again. At that moment, a call from theirpany came over - not exining the situation, but just directly scolding them. Both women felt a bit confused at the reason they got scolded, and feeling that something was wrong, they immediately called their manager.


    After listening to the brief description, they felt nk.


    Yesterday''s fight in the room was recorded? Who was it? They obviously locked the door!


    There was no time for them to continue to wonder. The reporters who had heard the rising storm had surrounded the hotel. There were also paparazzi pretending to be hotel staff to get into their rooms. The two people who tore each other up yesterday had to unite together in this moment. Thepany sent people to manage the situation, and after some effort and dealing, they seeded in leaving the hotel, sitting on the back of a B City car.


    While they were struggling to hide from reporters, Ye Zhizhou had already closed the machine. He was in thefortable suite on the 35th floor of Mu Tian with nothing to do. The small vi where he lived was also surrounded by reporters, and he didn''t dare to go back.


    After taking out his cell phone and looking at it, there was still no response from Ouyang Chun. The anger in his heart was gradually expanding, and though he tried hard to hold on to it, it didn''t work. He sent a message to Ouyang Zhi, "Did your uncle contact you today?"


    Ouyang Zhi''s reply was fast, but the answer made him a bit disappointed.


    After half a minute, the phone shook again. He quickly opened it, but found that the message was still sent by Ouyang Zhi. "Aunt, do you miss Uncle? Don''t worry about thements on the Inte. Uncle will help you solve it. Rx."


    This was also a silly and na?ve person!


    He cast away his phone in extreme anger, and thinking about it again, he reluctantly replied, "Send that video to your brother. Don''t forget to say that you hate the girls in the video."


    Ouyang Zhi didn''t doubt him and obediently sent the video to Ouyang Di.


    Five minutester, the system prompted a pop-up: [Ouyang Di and Protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 20%. Please make persistent effort, Host]


    Directly from 85% to 20%, How much control did the brother have on his twin!


    Putting aside his phone again, he stared at the ceiling in a daze, letting his heart swell. Sure enough, Ouyang Chun didn''t send the video to Ouyang Di...... Where the hell did he go - it was clear that the video he had sent had already been read......


    Suddenly the door was knocked. He grunted and rolled over, "I won''t drink the milk. Even if I die, I won''t drink it. Also, the stuff that Ouyang Chun instructed you to bring, I won''t eat it." Every day, as instructed, Qing Xiao would manage his meal, watch over his bed time, and stop him to ying games at night. In conclusion, Qing Xiao was looking after him no matter what, making his crucial gaming time disappear. So hateful!


    "Yao Cheng, do you want to be spanked?"


    The familiar deep voice sounded at the door, and he stiffened - straightening up and turning over to stare at the doorway. Blinking and rubbing his eyes, he then finally spewed his fury. "You still know how toe back!"


    Ouyang Chun''s anger vanished at seeing his small appearance. Helplessly, he put down his luggage and stepped forward to sit on the bedside, pulling on the youth''s hand, "I only left for how long, and you''re already giving me trouble - didn''t I ask you to be obedient?"


    Rejecting his hand, and reaching for Ouyang Chun''s face, Zhizhou fiercely gritted his teeth. "You came back just in time. I have something to confirm!"


    Ouyang Chun reached out to hold the youth''s waist - his face was nk, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes, "Want to confirm what, a gift?"


    "More exciting than a gift." He grinned, then quickly let out his spiritual power, flexibly drilling into the other''s eardrum. He gently probed deep into the brain in a way that wouldn''t harm him.


    However, after exploring his brain, there was no findings at all.


    He returned his spiritual power to his body in a daze, a bit lost. How could this be? If he was really Yun Ke, he should have spiritual power. Spiritual power was a type of energy simr to soul power. As long as the soul was not changed, the spiritual power would not be extinguished. Obviously, it could easily stir his own spiritual force and make it restless before...... how could there be nothing now?


    Could it be that...... he''s not Yun Ke?


    This spection made all his admittedly small amount of happiness copse, leaving only a deep and bottomless pit of darkness and despair. The familiar breathing and movements...... how could he not be? He pulled together the courage to believe in that hope. How could it not be! How could he not be!


    "Xiao Cheng?"


    His voice was different, but the aura was slightly familiar. "Ouyang Chun." Zhizhou held the other''s face with both hands, pulling him close and shutting his eyes. "Don''t hide, let me see it once again, let me take a closer look."


    Ouyang Chun suppressed the urge to kiss the youth and paused. He calmed down and reached out to hold the youth''s back - his lover was still young and spoiled.


    After taking a deep breath to calm down, Ye Zhizhou no longer restrained his spiritual power and allowed it into their everything. After pouring out the instinct of happiness and intimacy, he calmed down his mind and begin to explore for any spiritual force again. With a more careful attitude than before, he swept through Ouyang Chun''s brain.


    Ouyang Chun thought that because he had left him for a long time, his had lover wanted to take advantage of himself. He sat intently, but as time passed, he gradually felt a familiar pain from the depths of his mind, and could not help but frown. What''s with the headaches this time? He looked up and saw his lover close his eyes, and seeing his cute appearance, he hesitated. Finally, he just chose to sit still, not having the heart to leave to get medicine.


    Inch by inch,yer afteryer, there was still no trace of the awakening spiritual power. As Zhizhou gradually became desperate, a faint wave of vtility that could be the source of spiritual power suddenly emerged from the other side. He jumped in his heart, and lost control of the force in his excitement. He mmed the force down slightly, and the faint fluctuation seemed to detect the closeness of a familiar breath, and it suddenly became apparent.


    This was it! That familiar attack-type spirit power! Although it was still in a state of blooming and could disappear at any time, it was definitely still there! The spirit that had been entangled with him for decades, this was really it!


    His eyes heated up immediately, and the hands that was holding Ouyang Chun''s face slipped down to hug the other''s neck. Zhizhou''s forehead fell onto the man''s shoulder, and with tears falling down unconsciously, he spoke in a trembling voice. "You bastard......" The arms tightened, the body tightly affixed. "How did you be so weak......" Obviously in the previous life, it took him much effort to cultivate that spiritual power...... how could toss yourself to be like this. Useless. Too useless.


    Ouyang Chun endured the suffering with a pale face, and when he saw the youth finally retreat, he breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the youth suddenly hold him and cry, he was overwhelmed, and his voice became tougher than usual. "Don''t cry."


    "It''s still so fearful." Ye Zhizhou remembered the way his lover died in his arms, and couldn''t help it anymore. He choked up and wept, no longer caring about his image, "You in this lifetime are much older than me, and will certainly die before me, you''re so bad. I don''t like you......"


    Ouyang Chun listened with a dark face at Zhizhou''s first words, but after hearing thest sentence, he couldn''t help but be soft-hearted. He clumsily helped the younger man wipe away his tears and seriously said, "Don''t be afraid...... and I''m only 12 years older than you." He never thought that he would be so concerned about age, but ever since he took fancy of this person, every single little thing mattered...... it was fate.


    He held the youth in his arms and kissed his hair, promising, "Xiao Cheng, I will try to live longer than you, please don''t cry."


    "You''re a liar!" While weeping and savouring his lover''s handsome face, Zhizhou suddenly remembered something. He reached out to pull down the older man''s pants, "No, I''ll confirm it again." There was a birthmark on his lover''s ass. Maybe there''s also one in this life.


    Ouyang Chun''s body stiffened, and was busy catching the youth''s chaotic hands. His breathing shook and began to be a little unstable, "Xiao Cheng, you are not feeling well right now, not now."


    "Why not?" All he he wanted to do was confirm the birthmark, but he still dared to still ask him to wait? He forcibly wiped away his tears, and felt angry and wronged again. "Don''t you like me! You, you are so much older than me, you must have already let others see! "


    Imagining his lover''s body seen by others, Zhizhou was angry to the point that he rushed to tear down the trousers, "I don''t care! I''m going to see it now!"


    Ouyang Chun''s adam''s apple bobbed, and he couldn''t help but tighten his hand. The person he liked was in his embrace and kept shifting on top of him, boldly wanting to tear down his pants...... he was not a man if he could endure!


    "There''s no one else." He pressed the youth onto the bed, kissed ways the tears and his breath a bit short, "There''s only you."


    "Don''t...... uh...... your pants...... ah! I''m the one who''s going to take your pants, not the other way around!"


    The next morning, Ye Zhizhou woke up, dazed. When he saw there was someone lying next to him, he was so surprised that he tried to get up immediately. As soon as he started moving, an unbearable pain came from his waist, making him helplessly fell back.


    "What''s wrong?" Hearing the noise, Ouyang Chun was woken up. He unconsciously reached out and pulled the other person into his arms, stroking his back and kissing his forehead. With his deep and husky voice, containing a trace of drowsiness, he said, "Nightmare?"


    Zhizhou''s body was gently embraced, warm and full of care. He remembered what happenedst night and slowly blushed, then couldn''t help but grin. He lifted his hand to hold the person in front of him, and buried his face in the other''s arms.


    It was him, it was really him, even the birthmark was there...... He found his lover!


    The rays of the first morning''s softly shone through the curtain, and he curled up in his lover''s arms, smiling. Really, there was no happier time than now.


    _____________________


    The cast for ¡¶Fang Hua Jin¡· was reced again!


    Liu Feifei and Zhang Xinran''s scandal was just too big. The crew''s official Weibo ount was turned over and over again by the original work fans and the cast fans. In desperation, they could only brave their head against the pressure from the investors, and remove Liu Feifei and Zhang Xinran!


    <b><i>{T/N: original work fans refer to fans who liked the original novel - cast fans refer to fans who liked the cast}</i></b>


    A reced person was to be reced, where could they find another recement? Seeing the scheduled filming date nearing, they couldn''t afford to lose any time!


    Ye Zhizhou noticed this news - and remembered Sun Han Ya who had unknowing been involved in a scandal with her boyfriend. He secretly did a good job of helping her cleanse herself of the ck powder - of course, all of his actions were practical. Within a few days, Sun Han Ya was confirmed to have no knowledge of her boyfriend''s drug possession in her residence, and was released. He also took the opportunity to secretly split his spiritual force to instigate all sorts of insults to the original work fans. Shortly afterwards, a wave of fans on the inte called for the re-instatement of Sun Han Ya as the leading actress of the drama.


    The crew quicklypromised and brought Sun Han Ya back. Thepletely innocent woman who was supposed to y the third female lead, had also been washed white and had returned.


    After all the actors were in ce, the crew was afraid that something would go wrong - they simply started to shoot in advance so that they didn''t encounter any serious problem, directly finishing the shoot.


    After the dust had settled and the heat cooled, the focus of attention returned to Zhang Xinran and Liu Feifei. As a result, everyone regretted the fact that the two women had actually went abroad to keep low. To think that they wanted to gossip, but couldn''t, it was very lonely.


    Ye Zhizhou was also feeling very lonely. He had two feelings after waking up in bed everyday; pain and happiness. The pain was due to the fact that the old virgin Ouyang Chun had finally popped his cherry. He simply did not know what the meaning of control was! Happiness was because his lover was alive. It was so beautiful. If you didn''t grasp the opportunity, it would go to waste - and Ye Zhizhou had no intention of doing so.


    Then, Yao Cheng''s fans found that their idol, who had always been an irresponsible performer - was involved in a MV, recorded a variety show, and then disappeared again! Movie Emperor Ouyang seemed to be busy trying to be a dog. Every day, Cheng Idol worked on Weibo. Besides posting nothing about himself, his recent post was actually a video recording him achieving the game trophy for Li Hao''s game circle.


    Games, games, games again! Idol, don''t you have to eat! Get up and make a meal! This infrequent work schedule, how do you feed yourself! The bad woman who covets you has gone abroad, it''s time for you toe out and make a move!


    The fans'' feelings for this unreliable idol were of those from a parent to a child; they worried that he didn''t eat, worried that his didn''t sleep, also worried that he did not know when he was being bullied.


    Idol, wake up! Look at other people''s idols! Learn from them!


    However, their beloved idol remained indifferent. At this time, a senior Yao Cheng fan weakly came out about this topic.


    Don''t you know? Cheng Cheng seems to be very wealthy......st time the reporter went to his house, he lived in a small vi seemingly located in the city''s centre. Think about it, a small vi in B City, the location, the price......


    An awakening!


    Yes, their idol did not do anything after his debut, and they yed games everyday. How did he live? And he even gave his uncle a million dors. An idol drama didn''t pay that much, right?


    With doubt in their hearts about how Yao Cheng was managing to survive, the fans suddenly began to worry! Then, they were surprised to find that none of the clothes worn by Cheng Idol were cheap! His watch was limited edition, his clothes were of a famous brand, he had a special custom-made phone case. What was even more exaggerated was that a fan who identally encountered their idol in bus, stole a photo of their ID card, and it<i> was iid with diamonds...</i>


    Damn, how did their idol have such money!


    If digging for information, please dig deep.


    <i>[No Grilled Vest or Good Friend]</i>: I''m secretly telling you, I''ve seen Cheng Idol in S City''s stock exchange, buying some stocks - buying what''s up, and throwing away what fell. It was simply god-like! I didn''t know he was an idol at the time, but secretly followed him twice and saw that he made a lot of money. The one million he sent for that Aunt came from this. Now you are free to imagine.


    The fans were first shocked, then delighted, then proud, then finally settled on anger.


    Fry your damn stock! Idol, you signed up as a performer! It''s your job to perform a song to scrape money from the fans! Yet you just y around in the stock market and y games! How could it be! If you don''t feed the fans, you''ll be stuck down by thunder!


    Ye Zhizhou was not struck down by thunder. Though, Zhang Xinran, who had logged onto her Weibo, felt as if she was the one struck by thunder.


    Downtown vis, limited watches, casually lending one million...... Was this the same wastrel Yao Cheng that she knew?


    Looking back carefully, it seemed that Yao Cheng had never took the initiative to contact her after the idol drama wasplete. His temperament had also changed a lot. He was still covered by ck powder when he entered Mu Tian, but then was quickly washed back to white. He starred in Ouyang Zhi''s MV, he was even more popr now! He had struggled a lot in his past...... but where was the part where he had struggled now?


    Obviously, it was not the kind of work that could be done by a neer......


    He was like apletely different person!


    Wait, apletely different person? Did...... Yao Cheng get reborn with her? She shook at the thought - a drop of cold sweat running down her back.

    _____________________


    Theizens named Liu Fei Fei and Zhang Xinran''s video as the "Drug Gate". Ye Zhizhou was paying attention to the progress of "Drug Gate" while painting on paper. The probability of the twins falling in love with the protagonist had fallen below the safety line, and ording to his experience with the previous world, reducing thisst 30% was the worst.


    In the original plot, Ouyang Zhi hadpletely fallen in love with the protagonist after the two had sex when the protagonist was almost taken advantage of because of a scheming investor - at a critical moment, the hero saved the beauty. With the help of the aphrodisiac, the drugged protagonist forced the movie emperor to ''help'' her.


    That''s right, it was the protagonist who forced Ouyang Zhi. When he read the story at that time, he felt as if something was wrong. Now, knowing of Ouyang Zhi and Zhang Xinran''s personalities - there was a feeling of shrewdness in the original plot.


    Ouyang Dipletely adjusted his treatment towards the protagonist. He was hell-bent on urately imitating his brother, but he firmly stood by the fact that she was probably pregnant with his brother''s children. At that time, Ouyang Zhi slowly epted the fact that he had fallen in love with the same woman as his twin brother. Seeing this, Ouyang Di became more and more remorseful, and under the suffocating pain, he had finally decided to give up on the protagonist. But before leaving, in a state of drunkenness, he did <i>that</i> with the protagonist - Zhang Xinran then got pregnant with his child...


    <i>(T/N: I''m not too sure, but I think it means that when ZXR did it with OYZ, she didn''t get pregnant - they just assumed that she had. However, she really did get pregnant after doing it</i><i>with OYD)</i>


    Ouyang Zhi did not want to give up the protagonist, and Ouyang Di did not want to give up the child. The two did not want to give up on one another, so theypromised. They agreed on having a polygamous rtionship - they confessed on being twins to Zhang Xinran, and promised to love her together.


    When the protagonist found out that her boyfriend was actually two people, she was angry and drove them away. Three dayster, she identally fell from the staircase and had a miscarriage. Zhang Xinran then got depressed and went abroad secretly, wanting to leave the depressing environment. The male leads were very anxious when they found out, and used all their resources to look for her without sess.


    Three monthster, Zhang Xinran finally returned and took the initiative to find them. She told them that she was willing to be with the two of them. The male leads were filled with excitement at the thought of having Zhang Xinran back, and from then on, they granted all her requests and spoiled her.


    With the story shown in detail in front of Ye Zhizhou, he encircled the words ''drug'', ''drunkenness'', ''miscarriage'' and ''disappearance for three months'', thinking it suspicious.


    If you put aside the early feelings of foreshadowing, this story was just one of a woman who used her body and pregnancy to trap Mr. Perfect with a scandal!


    First of all, she obtained a <b>simple and sweet love story</b> with Ouyang Zhi due to the presence of an aphrodisiac. Then, coincidentally, just after Ouyang Di decided to let her go, they partook in drunken sex and the protagonist got pregnant with his child! This exaggerated clich¨¦! Zhang Xinran truly deserved to be the protagonist! As for the reason why she miscarried...... didn''t the male leadspletely fall for her because of this! They were even very careful not to remind her of the supposedly ''miscarried'' child, fearing that she would get too stimted and run away.


    <i><b>{T/N: </b></i><b>ɵ°×Ìð</b><i><b> could mean ''an old-fashioned love story which is nice and smooth, with no sadomasochistic storyline'' or it could mean ''a silly, simple and very sweet appearance with slight ignorant and confused aspects}</b></i>


    Everything was nned!


    Too many coincidences were just a conspiracy.


    If this analysis was true.... Zhizhou tore the paper and threw it to the bin. He looked at his desk to concentrate on Ouyang Chun''s work and sighed.


    The Ouyang Family''s children were raised well, ah. Ouyang Zhi was a child who though in a straight line. Ouyang Di seemed a bit stronger, but maybe that was because the contact level was too high that time - instead of realizing the girl''s scheme, they inadvertently stepped into a trap.


    Ye Zhizhou felt very skeptical about the existence of the protagonist''s supposedly miscarried baby. He found that Zhang Xinran''s character.... well, even benefactors who had helped her would be pushed to the pit, ignoring the goodwill she had received. Nothing was surprising about her faking a pregnancy.


    What to do now... the probability of the twins fallingpletely in love with the protagonist was too low. Zhang Xinran was now abroad, and her entertainment career was finished. It is estimated that the three people would never meet again in this life. So what were the odds of them falling in love again? Where was that 30% chance from? Was it because the twins hated the protagonist so much that something would happen to make them take responsibility by acknowledging the protagonist?


    After Ouyang Chun signed thest document, he looked up and couldn''t help but smile at seeing his lover''s wrinkled and dazed face. He got up and walked over to Ye Zhizhou, touching the younger man''s hair and asking him in a warm voice, "Bored?"


    Ye Zhizhouposed himself, enjoying the hand that was rubbing his head, and looked up with a smile. "No, I usually kill time like this." Look through Weibo, ying games, creating game strategies, and messing around. He spent his days happily.


    It was a pity that he had a task to do...


    Ouyang Chun couldn''t help but smile, he reached out to kiss Zhizhou''s eyelids. "<b>Lao Da</b> will return the day after tomorrow, and when he arrives, we''ll meet. How about I let <b>Yao Er</b>e and y with you?"


    Lao Da and Yao Er were what Ouyang Chun called the twins, and Ye Zhizhou can''t help butugh every time he heard it.


    <i><b>{T/N: Lao Da (Ouyang Di) means something along the lines of firstborn or captain/boss, and Yao Er (Ouyang Zhi) means something like little nephew XD}</b></i>


    "Good." He buried himself in his lover''s arms like azy cat. "I just came up with a new game strategy that will put him in a hole." And along the way, he could strengthen the bad impression Ouyang Zhi had of Zhang Xinran. He could also do the same to that Ouyang Di who still hadn''t met her... to pull out the g, one must start with him first, right?


    Theizens were gradually digging deeper into "Drug Gate", and the male artists that had been involved with Liu Fei Fei were sessively pulled out. The most popr male artist of Huang Tu was almost implicated. The higher-ups of Huang Tu were provoked, and all had the mind to kill Liu Fei Fei''s father.


    Seeing this disaster, Liu Fei Fei''s father hurriedly stood up, and with lots of bribing and threatening, the anger of the higher-ups finally calmed down. After stabilizing the situation, he remembered the one who had incited his daughter to make mistakes, Zhang Xinran. The fierceness and anger in his heart could not be held back - she had better note back, or he would definitely find someone to beat her!


    Overseas, Zhang Xinran heard the news and almost fainted in shock. She quickly called her manager to save the situation, but found herself being cklist.


    Her phone fell as herplexion gradually paled.


    Now, she was cursed and insulted on the inte, and her fans were all gone. In order to move agencies as soon as possible, she had signed with Huang Tu for ten years.... the embarrassment from herst life''s scandal leak suddenly resurfaced. She clenched her arm and cried in a low voice.


    What should she do? In order to sign with Huang Tu, she had handed over almost all the chips she had known in her previous life. Without the advantages of foresight and Huang Tu as a backing, how would she go on?


    ___________


    Two dayster, Ouyang Di arrived in B City.


    Ye Zhizhou who came to pick him up, seized up his appearance and sighed. "Really, really look alike!" It was no wonder that he could substitute for Ouyang Zhi in the movie. This level of simrity could definitely fool the lenses! Had he actually misunderstood the protagonist? Did the protagonist truly not discover that her lover was actually two people?


    Ouyang Di who had heard Zhizhou, gave a smile filled with elegance and nobility. "Everybody says that. Hello, I am Ouyang Di. I''m d to meet you. Thank you for taking care of my younger brother."


    The chaotic storyline information in his brain was calmed down. He rushed forward with a smile and tried to make a cheeky reply. "We are all family here, so there''s no such thing as taking care of." He sat down next to Ouyang Di to take out his cellphone in order to show the video of Zhang Xinran and Liu Feifei.


    "What do you think of this video?"


    Ouyang Di couldn''t keep up with his aunt''s line of thought. He obediently nced at the video and nodded his head. "I''ve seen it before, Xiao Zhi sent it to me."


    "Does that mean he hates the girls in the video?" Ye Zhizhou slowly induced, and Ouyang Di nodded again. "Xiao Zhi said so."


    "It takes about two hours to get home from the airport." He closed his cellphone, and pulled out an iPad whilstughing. "Let''s look at fun things to pass time." This was his chance to reconstruct Zhang Xinran''s character for Ouyang Di before he got a chance to get to know Zhang Xinran.


    His spirit power was in his hand, and the inte world was sideways. What theizens couldn''t find out, did not mean that Ye Zhizhou couldn''t find out. He showed to Ouyang Di how the protagonist engineered her brother to miss the college entrance examinations; how she involved her stepmother in pornography gambling to get her implicated in an extramarital affair; and how she used the position of her g father to evade taxes and a series of other things. Filled with bitterness, Ye Zhizhou said, "Lao Da, don''t you think that this girl is really terrible? She''s not very suitable to be a wife."


    Ouyang Di''s eyebrows wrinkled more and more as he thought of the fact that this kind of girl existed in the same entertainment industry as his younger brother. Continuing his line of thought, he couldn''t help but make a grim face. "Aunt specifically showed me this because.... is Xiao Zhi and this girl...."


    "They would have been."


    Ouyang Di could not help but clench his hand, a glimmer of light shing through his eyes. "Xiao Zhi is too simple to be suitable for such a scheming girl. I will properly talk to him."


    [The probability of Ouyang Di falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 10%, please make persistent effort, Host]


    A younger brother''s influence was simply the greatest!


    He cheered in his heart while his face was very serious as he finished with a big gasp. "Though, it''spletely impossible now - this child hates Zhang Xinran very much."


    Ouyang Di was stunned, thinking of how his stupid younger brother had expressed his dislike for Zhang Xinran. However, he could not help but feel ufortable at the fuss he had just made. He changed his posture andposed himself, quickly changing the subject. "Howe aunt picked me up today? Are Xiao Zhi and uncle busy?"


    "Well, but they are very busy." One was busy ying games, and one was put to sleep by his own mental power - Ouyang Chun would not wake up until afternoon. Closing the text data, he opened the folder where the video was stored, and handed it over. "Big nephew, let''s go through the video to understand what happened with Zhang Xinran - she might have something to do with little nephew!"


    Failing to change the topic, and also because he was really curious about it, Ouyang Di hesitated for a while before finally choosing to abandon his aristocratic upbringing to watch the video.


    After watching the video of the protagonist''s failed caf¨¦ ''encounter with the TV drama director, they had already arrived at the Mu Tian building. ncing at the system prompt that popped up, Ye Zhizhou was speechless. Why was there 5% left! He had already shown so much to reveal the ckened protagonist - why was there still 5%!


    After awkwardly getting off the car, he waited for the bodyguard to return Ouyang Di''s luggage whilst busily opening the system''s data, thinking about the original plot.


    "Yao Cheng!"


    A familiar voice rang out in the corner of the parking lot. A white figure suddenly rushed out of the corner and moved over with lightning speed, but was stopped three steps away from him by the bodyguards.


    "Yao Cheng!" Zhang Xinran tried to pull away from the bodyguard, and her eyes were filled with desperation. "You must help me this time! I figured out that we are together, you must help me!"

    ________________________


    He turned back and looked at Zhang Xinran, slightly surprised. "How are you here?" The entrance to Mu Tian''s parking lot was based on card ess, which were only avable for the staff. What''s more, he and Ouyang Di had parked in VIP zone, with required a different method of essing. How did the protagonist manage to bypass the several check ins?


    "Yao Cheng, you must help me. I know you''re very rich now." Zhang Xinran''s hair was scattered in the struggle, and her dress was also a bit dirty. "Huang Tu wants to bury me. There''s reporters everywhere, and I really have no choice. Look back at your previous feeling for me, and help me."


    Ouyang Di was busy picking up his gift from the car, and so, he stepped out a bitte. Suddenly seeing a baffling woman, he stepped forward in front of Ye Zhizhou and spoke to the bodyguards. "Call security and send this woman out. Also, remember to check the parking lot system and CCTV footage."


    "Ouyang Zhi?" Zhang Xinran stared at him, her eyes gradually brightening. She excitedly said, "Mr. Ouyang, I know you are the behind-the-scenes boss of Mu Tian. I was forced to change agenciesd by Liu Fei Fei''s father! I... I would like to go back to Mu Tian - so, please give me a chance."


    Ye Zhizhou was stunned - the protagonist''s way of setting up people was just a little too fierce. He didn''t want to know how deep her scheming ran. "Miss. Zhang Xinran." Deliberately biting out the name clearly, he tapped Ouyang Di''s back and stepped forward, signalling at the bodyguards to let her go. "What is the connection between my money and my assistance? And you are an adult - when you make a decision, you have to learn to take the consequences."


    Zhang Xinran didn''t think that Ye Zhizhou would be so cold to her - and so, she couldn''t help but feel embarrassed. "We have so many years of feelings... haven''t you always liked me? I''m willing to be with you now. You can help me - just pay the penalty fee to take me away from Huang Tu, and I''ll be able to start over! I don''t care about the you in the past. As long as you''re good to only me in the future, I could surely..."


    The more he listened, the more ridiculous it became. He also faintly guessed why the protagonist suddenly sought help from him. He hurriedly rushed to interrupt her words - with a serious face, he said, "Ms. Zhang, I met you at the beginning of this year. To say that we have many feelings together is a bit exaggerated. As for me liking you, I think Ms. Zhang has misunderstood me. I already have a lover, and I would like to ask Ms. Zhang to not say such easy to misunderstood words in the future." If these words were heard by Ouyang Chun, he wouldn''t be able to get out of the bed.


    "You have a lover?" Zhang Xinran''s voice rose up, and anger boiled in her heart. With her body trembling, she said, "Impossible!" In the previous life, she knew that Yao Cheng had betrayed her, but that was just for benefits he would have received! She knew, she always knew, that Yao Cheng would love her, it would never change!


    "Miss." Ouyang Di stepped forward again to block her view of Ye Zhizhou. His brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were filled with irritation and disgust. "Please conduct yourself." To think that this kind of person dared to lust after Xiao Zhi and aunt, it was simply just too overconfident.


    Zhang Xinran was very embarrassed by Ouyang Di''s eyes that showed disgust. She looked back and forth between the two men - and saw the baggage and gifts that the bodyguard was holding. She felt her heart twitch, and she thought of a possibility. She was shocked and disgusted at her thoughts. Looking at the two people, her mouth was wide open, and she blurted out, "You, you... Yao Cheng, you really are as sick as you were in the past life! You would actually sell yourself to a man for fame! Ouyang Zhi, today, I have lost my admiration for you - I did not think that you were actually a disgusting homosexual!"


    As soon as she said this, everyone''s expression drastically changed; the bodyguards stepped forward in a threatening manner - and Ouyang Di''s face sank, his elegant and calm manner suddenly turning fierce, "Miss Zhang, take care of yourself - a loose mouth will always lead to trouble."


    [Ouyang Di and the protagonist''s love probability has dropped to 0%. Congrattion on pulling out the first g, Host. Please make persistent effort.]


    The sudden pop up surprised Ye Zhizhou, who was about to curse back at Zhang Xinran - he felt ecstatic! This was a god-like attack, ah! The remaining 5% that frustrated him was actually gone! In a good mood, he thought that the protagonist was not too annoying anymore. He smiled and patted Ouyang Di''s back, then looked at protagonist in sympathy. "Miss Zhang, if you have an illness, it''s better to treat it right away. Avoiding the sickness because of fear of treatment is not good. And about thest life you said, I didn''t understand any of it." He broke of hisment to look at the bodyguard near her. "Please send Miss Zhang to a hospital, and remember to choose a good one."


    The bodyguard obediently reached out to the protagonist.


    "Yao Cheng!" She immediately dodged the guards and continued talking. "Don''t you y dumb! You want to erase the past by hugging a golden thigh? No way! How long do you think you can hold it, huh? Those rich people are always the type to throw out the old and wee the new! I''ll wait for the day you are tossed aside and abandoned!"


    "Then you can wait." The protagonist hadpletely lost reason, and it was now just a waste to keep dawdling because of her. Ye Zhizou waved his hand and signalled the bodyguard to take action. He then patted Ouyang Di on the back and pulled him towards the elevator.


    After going up the stairs, Ouyang Di dropped off the baggage directly into the game room. Five minutester, Ye Zhizhou, who was harassing his lover with spiritual power, received a system notification.


    "Dropped to 15%?" He nodded at the screen and smiled happily. "Ouyang Zhi was scolded by his brother, and he really deserved it."


    "Very happy?"


    "Of course, the mission is......" He paused, looking down and seeing Ouyang Chun''s clear and awake eyes. "You awake ah... that... Ouyang Di is already here. Um, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Ye Zhizhou thought guiltily that he must have been very hungry after sleeping for over a dozen hours.


    Ouyang Chun got up, and ruffled his hair. With a dull expression, he said, "Lao Da came? Did you pick him up?"


    "En...... eh." He looked down and weakly spoke. "I saw that you were sleeping, so I didn''t call you......"


    "Xiao Cheng, I''m hungry." He said calmly.


    Seeing that he was not angry - Ye Zhizhou sighed in relief, and his face brightened up again. "What do you want to eat? I''ll tell the kitchen staff to make it for you."


    Ouyang Chun turned his eyes to the youth''sughing face, and slightly curled his lips. He suddenly reached out to hold the youth, and turned him over - pressing Ye Zhizhou into the bed. He held the youth''s hand in his left, and his right hand was ambiguously under the clothing - stroking him, then gently biting his earlobe. "Eating you, disobedient children need to be punished."


    "I''m not...... oh! It''s noon, you must not...... ah......" <i>Save me!</i>


    The devastating day soon ended, and the family dinner table, both Ouyang Zhi and Ye Zhizhou were listless.


    "Aunt, have you been <i>tidied up</i> by uncle?" Ouyang Zhi quietly moved to Ye Zhizhou, who was buried in soup - and quietly whispered, "I secretly ordered for you a te of spicy pork, no need to thank me."


    He put down the spoon and looked at him with dead-fish eyes. "Thank you, big nephew." Giving a person with an injured <b>chrysanthemum</b> spicy pork, that was truly a revolutionary affectionate friendship.


    <i><b>{T/N: if you read other Chinese BL novels, then I guess you already know what this word refers to XD}</b></i>


    "You''re wee." Ouyang Zhi embarrassedly smiled, the with a deep expression said, "I used to eat spicy pork with my uncle and brother, eating until my worries were gone - but brother thought that eating too much of it will hurt my stomach, so I''m not allowed to eat it much anymore."


    "Do you like to eat pig brain?"


    Ouyang Zhi''s eyes brighted up, "I haven''t eaten it yet. Is it delicious?"


    "Yeah." He nodded, ncing at the uncle and nephew sitting across from him who were talking about business. "It''s delicious and nutritious, suitable for people like you." It was a good tonic to improve intelligence - and it would make it easier for him to pull out the g.


    The door was suddenly knocked, and Qing Xiao entered carrying an iPad. "Boss, there''s suddenly a video online about second young master, and young Master Yao."


    The four people simultaneously looked at him.


    "Now there''s someone on the inte, saying that young Master Yao is......"


    Ouyang Chun slightly frowned, "Is what?"


    Qing Xiao nced at Ouyang Zhi and Ye Zhizhou who were sitting in the corner, drinking soup. Xiao paused and braced himself for what he was about to say. "Young Master Yao is being kept by second young master. It also said that the reason young Master Yao is still able to extravagantly spend money without working is because second young master is generous to his lover."


    After those words were out, Ouyang Zhi jumped, scared for his life. "I did not! I am wrongly used! I and Aunt are innocent!"


    "Xiao Zhi." Ouyang Di grabbed his arm and pulled him to the side, sitting him down and holding onto his shoulder. "Calm down."


    Ouyang Zhi stole a nce at Ouyang Chun, and getting in contact with his uncle''s cold look - he was frightened to the point that he was holding onto his brother''s arm and desperately shrinking on himself. Uncle was drinking vinegar that waspletely unreasonable. He couldn''t calm down!<span>


    Ye Zhizhou put down his spoon and wipe his hand after hearing this, and he reached out. "Let me see the video."


    Qing Xiao hurriedly handed over the iPad.


    The video was released by Guan Bo magazine, and was titled ''<i>Breaking News: Movie Emperor Ouyang Zhi''s Lover is Actually a Man</i>''. Thements were posted to the point that the site sometimes crashed due to an influx of data. Ye Zhizhou yed the video several times.


    After a short period of silence, their eyes gradually adapted to the video''s brightness, and they could now watch the video clearly. It was showing the scene at the parking lot, and Yao Cheng''s and several other people''s figures could be seen.


    ......It really was this scene. Ye Zhihzou looked at Ouyand Di who was pacifying Ouyang Zhi, and then leaned back on his chair to continue to looking.


    The video was very short; it''s length was only about a minute. In this one minute, Ye Zhizhou and ''Ouyang Zhi'' had been standing close to each other, while Zhang Xinran was stopped by the bodyguards a few steps away. He could easily hear her emotional words; such as ''disgusting'', ''selling one''s body'', and ''homosexual''. Combining these words with the three people''s state and expression, it was very intriguing. At the end of the video, the excited Zhang Xinran was mercilessly dragged away by the bodyguard, while Ye Zhizhou and ''Ouyang Zhi'' went ''sweetly'' into the elevator.


    Turning off the video, he looked up and walked over to Ouyang Chun, starting toin. "I was ridiculed." This video, whether it was the shooting angle or the delusional intermittent dialogue, it was filled with the touch of professional paparazzi. Combined with protagonist''s hostility today...... life is full of holes, ah - howe she could still do something like this when she was being suppressed?


    "I''ll fix it" Ouyang Chun patted the younger man''s hair - and with a heavy tone, he said, "It''s also time to clean up those bugs in Mu Tian."


    Ouyang Di looked at his terrified younger brother, then looked at his reliable uncle and cool-headed aunt - and he couldn''t help but sigh in his heart.


    This stupid younger brother...... was really useless.

    ___________________________


    This had been the busiest day ever for Yao Cheng and Ouyang Zhi''s fans on Weibo.


    Just this morning, they still saw their idol''s Weibo ignoring them - their idol only knowing how to y games like a single dog. And in the afternoon, they saw a video of the two men''s ''closeness'' when they were leaning against each other while returning to their ''love nest''.


    This development was just too fast, ah! They couldn''t even react!


    They didn''t even wait before studying the video frame by frame, quickly giving out gave out their analysis. What golden thigh providing for a <b>pretty boy</b>! Embracing a golden thigh, and using the unspoken rules to bully others.... in short, the main point of the video was that Yao Cheng was being provided for by Ouyang Zhi! How unpleasant!


    <i><b>{T/N: </b></i><b>С°×</b><b>Á³</b><i><b> / </b></i><i><b>xiaobai</b></i><i><b> lian - an attractive young man/pretty boy, meant to be a derogative term}</b></i>


    The two fan groups were furious. It was still unknown whether the two were actually together or not, yet these guys were just making things worse by making incorrect analyses! Simply adding to the injury!


    Fans and keyboard warriors fought from afternoon to evening - then at exactly 10pm, Zhang Xinran, who has been missing in action, suddenly updated her Weibo with a very aggrieved post.


    <i>[Zhang Xinran]: </i>Yao Cheng, I have already forgotten those who have cheated me in the past. I understand that in your heart, in order to reach your dreams, you can even climb someone else''s bed. You once promised me a beautiful future - but when we were finally equals, I never heard of it again. Afterwards, you got into Mu Tian, and I, into Huang Tu. From then on, we had separated ways. I wish you well.


    With this post was a photo of a bride holding a bouquet of flowers, carried by the groom.


    When this was posted, all three fan groupspletely exploded.


    How crafty! What did this post mean? Yao Cheng and Zhang Xinran were actually together? Then Yao Cheng, in order to seed, abandoned Zhang Xinran to cling onto Ouyang Zhi''s thighs?


    This story got more and more dramatic!


    Thinking about the video where a shrieking Zhang Xinran, who was steps away from Yao Cheng and Ouyang Zhi, was blocked by a bodyguard. Thinking again of Zhang Xinran''s sudden job-hopping, and that situation together with the two''s Weibo ounts, the cogs in the masses'' brains started turning, beginning to make assumptions. With this, Zhang Xinran, previously the lowest of the low who was involved in a drug scandal - suddenly became a youngdy who was determined to take revenge on the scumbag that abandoned her.


    Some brainless fans quickly epted this situation - and their upright backs suddenly leapt out in Weibo,menting Zhang Xinran''s misfortune, and angrily spraying words of abuse at Yao Cheng.


    Once again, Weibo was filled with fighting - and fans tore each other apart, all kinds of rumours emerging in session. The protagonist''s nearly dead path in the entertainment scene was unexpectedly rejuvenated again.


    Ye Zhizhou held his chin with one hand, holding the mouse with the other. Carelessly, he browsed through thements under Zhang Xinran''s Weibo post, and yawned. This time, Ouyang Chun monopolized the whole affair. Previously, he had just observed the hustle, and appeared to be uninterested. Now, Ouyang Chun looked extremely anxious. "How does Hu Zongze manage thepany, ah?! There are 8 individuals in charge of the surveince cameras. This kind of excessive matter, and no one even bothered to investigate!"


    "This individual..." Breaking the surveince camera was merely a basic type of preparatory work for someone who was prepared to take this type of defaming video.


    "Uncle must be really angry." Ouyang Zhi sat stiffly on the sofa, his eyes dispirited. "That Zhang Xinran is too hateful; how could she do this... We didn''t do anything inexcusable to her, so for what reason did she spread those hideous rumors?"


    [The probability of Ouyang Zhi falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 10%, please make persistent efforts, Host.]


    "Because I''m Yao Cheng." He answered casually, ncing at the screen that had just popped up. He then refreshed Weibo, discovering that Mu Tian''s official Weibo had unexpectedly made a statement.


    "Aren''t they in the middle of a meeting downstairs? What is all this..." Ye Zhizhou''s eyes were full of suspicion, and he stared at the screen then slowly opened the post. Seeing the actual post itself, he was scared to the point that he nearly dropped his mouse! "Little nephew! Yourpany''s official Weibo is crazy, ah!"


    Ouyang Zhi was shocked by his aunt''s exmation, almost falling off the sofa. After stabilizing his body, he ran up to Ye Zhizhou, asking, "What happened? The PR Department and the Advertising Department have all been told off, so the official Weibo should have no one handling it."


    "But thepany''s official Weibo said that I was getting married." His face contorted into one of confusion, and he nkly looked at Ouyang Zhi, thinking it a dream.


    "Ah?" Ouyang Zhi was also got confused. Distractedly, he asked, "With who?"


    "With me." Ouyang Chun came in, papers in hand. "When Xiao Chenges over, we''ll discuss the wedding date."


    While all kinds of spection were flying around on Weibo, Mu Tian''s official Weibo ount quietly made a statement: The male actor Yao Cheng already has a lover. They are each other''s first love, and their feelings are very sincere - nning to marry within the year.


    Theizens who saw the news were stunned, immediately exploding. Each other''s first love; feelings were very sincere; nning on getting married. This was undisguisedly beating up Zhang Xinran''s face and stripping down the Weibo post, ah!


    Before they had even finished digesting the news, Mu Tian immediately uploaded some documents and an one minute video. In the video, several people''s dialogue could be heard - the traces of editing easily evident, leaving people feeling embarrassed. They no longer had the heart to continue listening. Then, Mu Tian''s Weibo uploaded a video that showed the entire underground parking lot, captioned with: "Mu Tian is amon love nest for all Mu Tian artists. They are even wee to bring friends with them."


    The so-called video of the two men returning to their ''love nest'' was, of course, edited - it was actually them just going back to thepany''s entrance. Many on the inte could feel the metaphorical burn on their faces as if they had been pped.


    Afterwards, Mu Tian uploaded the videos taken by the eight surveince cameras in the parking lot before they were smashed. In it, a man wearing a janitor''s uniform was encircled. Zooming in, they showed this person''s ID and their certificate as a reporter. The reporter and Zhang Xinran were secretly talking on the side of a road in the video. The caption shown was: "Yizhou Magazine, why did your reporter escape to my Mu Tian to be a janitor? Also Miss Zhang, is a self-directed show fun?"


    Theizens were shocked! Yao Cheng and Ouyang Zhi''s fans were so thrilled that they forwarded the post earnestly. Their idols''pany was just too domineering! The way they washed off this ck powder was too quick! We, the fans, arepletely useless, ah!


    In front of the truth, all rumors and guesswork were meaningless, and the poprity of the rumors on the inte dropped rapidly. Netizens finally analyzed the incident seriously - figuring out that the video on the inte was truly full of loopholes! More than one voice had been edited, and even than, the traces of editing was just too heavy. An expertpared the two videos frame by frame and found out that the edited video was merely a mosaic of the four surveince footages in different time frames - extremely one-sided and untrustworthy.


    Theizens quickly flooded the official Weibo of Yizhou Magazine, who were the first to release the video. Their sticky post was spammed over and over again, moring for them to post the full version of the video. Zhang Xinran''s Weibo post was also filled with angry users who had been deceived - and all asking her to quit the entertainment industry!


    On the phone, Liu Fei Fei was drinking while scolding Zhang Xinran. Thetter had already lost control - but with a calm face, she continuously refreshed Mu Tian''s official Weibo, and home page. Her hand grasped the mouse extremely tight, and her mind was filled with a buzzing noise - not knowing what she was to do anymore.


    Because of the "Drug Gate" video, the development of Huang Tu''s artists were obstructed; their resources snatched up by Mu Tian. Liu Fei Fei''s father was targeted at thepany, being dubbed as a sinner. Zhang Xinran, seeing the other person''s dilemma, had proposed to help create a video that would drag Mu Tian''s reputation through the mud - and in exchange, he would give her his assistance. Father Liu who was struggling, did not stop to think about her request, and agreed easily. Zhang Xinran quickly arranged everything after she told him the n - she also had Father Liu give her half the amount of the penalty, arranging it to be transferred into her bank ount to pacify her heart.


    ording to the original n, she would block Yao Cheng in the parking lot while begging and kneeling. Words and phrase would be spoken between them, and she would deliberately provoke him - making Yao Cheng lose control and leak out Mu Tian''s ''dirty secret'' of bullying and forcing actors. After this, Father Liu would arrange a stage for her toe out to expose the ''sinister ways'' of Mu Tian, letting her watch thepany fall from a distance!


    But then, there had been changes they couldn''t keep up with. She didn''t think that Yao Cheng had a bodyguard with him - stopping her from even touching his clothes! Ouyang Zhi, who shouldn''t have been in the building, had unexpectedlye out of the car as Yao Cheng! She had already found out from Father Liu that the real boss of Mu Tian was actually Ouyang Zhi. This would have been their trump card! Their previously nned speeches could not be used anymore - and they might as well smash a cracked pot and let the fans interpret it for themselves. Anyways, she had already achieved her purpose, and she did not care about the video.


    Fortunately, God still loved her and the video was shot. The actual happenings were way more exciting than ones nned in the original. After watching the video, Father Liu gave her enough money to pay the penalty, and promised her that she did not have to cancel the contract - thepany wouldn''t freeze her again. If the n was sessful, she would be heralded by everyone!


    At that time, the public opinion on Weibo was already influenced. The effect was very good - and after some considering, she didn''t cancel her contract. Instead, she made a spective post out of selfishness on her Weibo - wanting topletely crush Yao Cheng.


    Now, everything was over.


    As the video and the circumstances behind it got rified, the post she had previously used to step on Yao Cheng had now be evidence of her own self-directed y against Yao Cheng.


    Also, Yao Cheng was getting married....


    Letting go of the mouse, she was at a loss.


    When she had first returned to the past, she had wanted to discard everything and work hard for her career. But now... in order to take revenge against a scumbag who had betrayed her in her past life, she gradually deviated from the goal she had set after her rebirth - which led her to this situation. The person she wanted to have revenge against had a sessful career, a pleasing life, and was now getting married.... she really didn''t want to ept this. She really did not want to ept it! She remembered all the sweet and painful memories, and realised that she had suffered so much - yet the other person was still so ignorant, even daring to view her as a stranger.


    Why did she get reborn?


    She slowly raised her hand to cover her face - and her eyes were devoid of emotion; empty.


    She wanted to ask Yao Cheng if he regretted abandoning her - but how could she, when the Yao Cheng she knew now was just like a stranger? He had drunk and gotten entrapped with Liu Fei Fei in the past - but in this life, Liu Fei Fei and he did not have much contact with each other; only getting familiar because of her premeditated n. She even wanted to ask fans on Weibo why they easily believed in other people''s nder, but then refused to listen to her own defence. For what reason were they deaf to her exnations, still throwing stones at somebody who was down? In this life, she was always safeguarding from fans.


    With no one to talk to about her sadness, and nowhere to vent her resentment on, her suffering could only be pushed down to the bottom of her heart. This kind of suffering, where she had to recall all her previous sufferings - why did she have to be born again?


    "Zhang Xinran! You aren''t listening to me! Mu Tian began their counterattack. Quickly, go online and say something. This is all your idea. You just wait, I''ll have my dadpletely freeze you this time!"


    Xinran snapped out of her dark thoughts, and looked at the phone on the desk. Her expression gradually turned calm, and she slowly spoke. "Liu Fei Fei, even if everyone is innocent, you cannot be forgiven! You don''t need to freeze me; I want to terminate the contract."


    [The probability of Ouyang Zhi falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 5%, please make persistent efforts, Host.]


    While holding the documents, Ye Zhizhou looked at the system notification foolishly - tuning to look at Ouyang Zhi who was ying a game on the sofa, and Ouyang Di who was quietly reading a book.


    How did this happen? How could Ouyang Zhi just y a game and have the odds of him falling in love drop? He didn''t do anything, did Ouyang Zhi realize something while ying the game?

    <b><u>The Cold Feeling Prince and The Proud Pampered Wife </u></b>


    At the height of theizen''s fierce scolding, Zhang Xinran posted her goodbye letter and logged off from Weibo. A monthter, she sold all of her assets and left the country by herself, vanishing without a trace.


    One week after the protagonist''s disappearance, arge number of Liu Fei Fei''s scandalous photos were suddenly blown out onto the inte. At the time, Liu Fei Fei''s father had fallen off the tform due tomitting a number of mistakes regarding topics such as policy - causing huge losses to thepany. This time, no one could protect her.


    Ye Zhizhou put down his cell phone with a huff.


    "What''s wrong?" Ouyang Chun embraced him from behind, kissing the younger man''s earlobe. "Do you want the wedding to be held domestically, or abroad?"


    "Don''t organise it yet." Ye Zhizhou looked up and gently bumped the man with his head. "Did everything work out?"


    "Yeah." Ouyang Chun directly ignored the other man''s refusal, and raised his hand to sort out the messy hair. "I let Qing Xiao book three VIP tickets. This time, Yao Er will alsoe with us - Lao Da is not. Rest assured, he will continue to stay in the country to mix with entertainment circle, preparing to let Ouyang Zhi switch to behind the scenes."


    "It''s all good." Ye Zhizhou shook his head to dislodge the hand on top, turning around to embraces his lover''s waist. "In the future, we''ll always be together."


    Ouyang Chun''s face was gentle, showing a happy and satisfied smile. Kissing back, he agreed. "En, always together."


    _______


    Three yearster, the protagonist who had changed her identity married a bookstore manager in R country. Thest 5% chance of Ouyang Zhi loving the protagonist had finally decreased to zero, and the remaining soul g was removed.


    _______


    Fifty yearster, Ouyang Chun - who had been in a dying state of life - refused to leave the world. Ye Zhizhou resisted his tears, helping the man with his hair. Gently, he whispered in the other man''s ear. "Don''t hold on, I''ll be with you soon."


    Ouyang Chun tightly held the younger man''s hand, and with a difficult gasp of breath, he said, "I''m sorry... the next life, and the next... "


    "I know." Ye Zhizhou watched the man on the bed gradually lose breath, and it was only then that he let the tears fall. "You said that in the next life... you must remember to find me, and I will as well... you muste."


    The system popped up in time. [Does Host desire to go to the next world?]


    He climbed into the bed, and nestled into the cold arms of his lover. Zhizhou touched the lifeless face that was no longer young, and closed his eyes - determination in his heart.


    ___________________________________


    The first thing he saw after awakening was an exquisite screen decorated with patterns of flowers and birds. He moved, finding that he was sitting in arge, wooden bathtub full of warm water. There was an ornate wooden frame near the tub, and several silk robes hung on the shelves.


    This time was an ancient world? He raised his hand, touching the long hair syed across his shoulders, feeling somewhat strange at the length.


    A simple hand mirror on a shelf suddenly moved, and a screen popped up. Large paragraphs of text appeared once again, seeming a little bit out of ce in the ancient style room.


    He picked up the small mirror, flipping it over. "By the way, you look more pleasing to the eye than the previous two versions - it also resembles the space tattoo on my wrist a bit more."


    The small mirror shook and shing lights appeared, as if it was urging him to look at the data quickly.


    "Really, really impatient." He put down the mirror and wiped away the water from his face, looking at the screen soon afterwards.


    The protagonist of this world was An Chengjie, who was the <b>bastard son</b> of the town''s <b>Zhen Guogong</b>, An Wenhua. When the protagonist was abandoned by his mother, his life in <b>Zhuangzi</b> was very hard. At the age of eighteen, he unfortunately fell into the water and died; his body being taken over by a soul from the future.


    <i><b>[T/N: Bastard son in this context refers to a son who was born from a concubine]</b></i>


    <i><b>[T/N: (</b></i><b>悇ø¹«</b><i><b>) Zhen Guogong is something along the lines of a duke of the state, or a city lord]</b></i>


    <i><b>[T/N: Zhuangzi refers to a city]</b></i>


    "...so clich¨¦..."


    The reborn An Chengjie exhibited an outstanding ability. He first cleaned up the evil servants who had bullied the original owner, and then rectified the political order of Zhuangzi, also raising the city''s harvests. By the end of the year, his name had reached the capital due to his increasinglyrge reputation in the poetry circle. An Wenhua, noticing his son''s incredible behaviour, brought him back to the capital regardless of his wife''s protests.


    On An Chengjie''s way back, he coincidentally rescued one of the male leads from a gangster; Lei Baofei, the only son of the Great General Lei Xihong. They journeyed back to the capital together, talking joyously and soon bing friends.


    After that, it was simply going through the usual motions; arriving at the capital, the two separated. After An Chengjie entered the government office, he began to fight with his father''s first wife, his brothers, other concubines and other members of the second branch; fighting with all his family members. Then with much struggle, he opened a restaurant and a jewelry store, earning both status and money.


    An Chengjie also did not forget to take part in several poetry conferences, brushing up his already extensive reputation. Eventually, his name finally reached the emperor, and was hand-picked as a studypanion for the emperor''s eighth son.


    Up to this point, there was nothing that surprised Ye Zhizhou - at least, except for the <b>sh</b><b>world</b>. The plot was still normal, until he saw the identity of the second male lead - the eldest son of the first wife, An Chengsheng.


    <b>[T/N: sh world = BL world, man x man, boy x boy. The world for the rotten men and women XD]</b>


    Although the character description was very vague, An Chengsheng already had a wife and children - yet in the end, he threw away those feelings for the sake of his own brother. There was also the part about ''<i>collecting all of An Chengjie''s poems</i>'' and ''<i>constantly reminiscing and longing for his younger brother everyday''</i> - a crazy brotherplex...


    But the most important thing was that this man also had a soul g! An Chengsheng did not have an official rtionship with the protagonist, but the intimacy between the two was ambiguous - and though the wall of love was not pierced through, he indeed had a soul g!


    Even a half-brother could be included in a harem... it was no wonder that this rotten world got destroyed!


    Continuing to look down, Ye Zhizhou found that he was still very naive - the original world had more than two harem members, and besides the two that had destroyed his three views, there was a man who would eventually be the third emperor - The seventh prince, Yan Mingli.


    <i><b>[Ed. Note: The term ''destroy the three views'' is used to describe something that is iprehensible. The ''three views'' are thought to refer to one''s perspective on life, the world, and values.]</b></i>


    Yan Mingli and An Chengjie met in a Royal Hunt. At the time, the second son of the first wife, An Chengle, felt jealous of the protagonist''s talent - devising a n that would separate An Chengjie from his hunting group. When he was lost in the jungle, Chengjie met the seventh prince who was in the same situation. They soon became acquaintances, and after getting out of trouble, Yan Mingli felt that An Chengjie had simr experiences and lives as himself. Seeing the other''s quiet brilliance that enticed his heart, they became closer day by day.


    At this point, all three male leads appeared, and the protagonist began his ultimate counter-attack.


    On the surface, An Chengjie was still the studypanion of the eighth prince. Behind closed doors, he had already taken refuge with the seventh prince.


    The protagonist used gunpowder to develop weapons, and invested money in materials - whilst Yan Mingli gave An Chengjie love, care and funding. Later, the experienced Lei Baofei was also pulled to the seventh prince''s faction, more than doubling the power of the seventh prince.


    In the end, the seventh prince, Yan Mingli, ascended the throne, and due to his feelings for An Chengjie, <b>refused to officially settle down</b>. Lei Baofei also became a prominent general and be a <b>lifetime bachelor</b> for An Chengjie. An Chengsheng helped the seventh prince, but continued to stay in the town government, getting married and having children. But in his heart, he always longed for another king, An Chengjie.


    <i><b>[Ed. Note: In the era this story takes ce, having concubines or consorts were not considered official marriages - at least to my knowledge. An official marriage would be an official/first wife, or an empress - which two men refused to have]</b></i>


    Ye Zhizhou''s face numbed, and he slowly got out from the wooden tub, wiping his body and put on his inner clothes and outer robes - speechlessly gazing at the sky. This world was just too immoral! Not only was it a sh world, not only was the harem was increased by one, all the male leads technically had a wife! Even if there was no empress, wasn''t an imperial concubine still technically a wife! Wasn''t a concubine a wife! Wasn''t a secondary wife still a wife! Moreover, they even went to brothels several times together...


    <i><b>[Ed. Note: They are all technically wives as they had to be first ''married'' into the family to be given a title]</b></i>


    Why did all of them have a wife? Ye Zhizhou asked himself why they were with the protagonist behind their wives'' backs.


    The wet hair stuck to his body, making him very ufortable. He sorted out his shattered three views and broken moral integrity, pulling out a towel from his storage space and covering his hair with it. Sitting on a stool near the tub, he continued to read over the information.


    The protagonist and the three men spent their whole lives together in this strange way. After several decades, the four men died one after another. Their descendants were doused in confusion, and the country was chaotic. Seeing an opportunity, other countries saw fit to invade, and a war began. The explosives produced by An Chengjie had begun to raise clouds around the world, and an increasinglyrge amount of countries joined the war for the chance to gain the powerful weapon. In just a few decades, the world would be blown up.


    After finishing off the data, Ye Zizhou was silent for a moment, then remembered a desperate problem. "Heaven, whose body am I in now?"


    [The second son of Zhen Guogong''s first wife, An Chengle]


    ...It really was a cannon fodder.


    He slowly let out a breath, standing up and putting the towel back into his space. Ye Zhizhou headed out the door with wet hair, reading An Chengle''s character data while walking.


    An Chengle, Zhen Guogong''s second son, was two and a half years younger than An Chengjie. As a child, he was mischievous - and after growing up, he was ignorant, not learning anything nor having any skill; he could not do any poetry. He was only proficient in eating, drinking, and ying, but was sweet tongued and deceptive, so he was the family favorite. After the protagonist arrived, his limelight was taken away - so, he therefore hated the protagonist. An Chengle always wanted to hang the protagonist, but... he was stupid. All his ns could easily be seen through by the protagonist, and he was quickly sshed with dirty water. He was eventually abandoned by his father and brother - finally dying in the mouth of a beast at the Royal Hunt.


    ......so tragic. Why did all the original owners of the bodies he used have a hobby of confronting the protagonist? Was it that difficult to live a peaceful life?


    After turning off the screen, a carved wooden door entered his line of sight, and a faint noise could be heard from outside.


    "The young master hasn''te out yet. It has already been half an hour, and the water should have turned cold by now."


    "Hush, young master is trying to inflict himself with an illness so he can escape tomorrow''s pce entrance test. I heard Xiao Cui say that the emperor summoned all ministers'' sons to enter the pce in order to select a studypanion for the sickly eighth prince. Anyone knows that this is not a good life to lead, and are trying to avoid it."


    "What sickly person are you talking about! Be careful with your words - after all, he is still a prince. If someone heard it, you could implicate the young master!"


    The noises suddenly stopped, and the outside became quiet.


    Ye Zhizhou also stopped, opening the data and starting overturn the plot and timeline.


    Two days after An Chengjie entered the government office, the emperor began searching for a studypanion for the barely 13 years old eighth prince. Among all the ministers'' children, An Chengle''s age and status were the most suitable. However, An Chengle didn''t have a bright future as apanion to the eighth prince, and a day before the summons, he forcibly made himself sick. The emperor was very angry, but he couldn''t attack due to a number of factors. He took advantage of the atmosphere and chose An Chengjie as the readingpanion. He also decreed and raised the protagonist''s position, allowing him to have the treatment and status equal to that of the first son of the first wife.


    Turning off the screen, he looked at his youthful blurred image on the bronze mirror that was in the corner of the room - <b>hating iron for not bing steel</b>. He red at the distant sky; this fine specimen of a male, yet he got such a bad ending!


    <i><b>[T/N: To feel resentful toward someone for failing to meet expectations]</b></i>


    But now, An Chengle had be him, and he was just supposed to... die? No way! He wants to be a demon!


    Pulling the mirror into his arms, he pushed aside his messy long hair and fixed his expression. He raised his chin and pushed the door open, looking arrogantly at the two little servants through the corners of his eyes. "Prepare a horse for this young master. I am going to go buy gifts for the eighth prince!"


    Wasn''t it time to be a studypanion for this 13 years old kid? What could a kid hide? All he had to be was a studypanion!

    With the help of the servants, Ye Zhizhou readied his hair and clothes. He valiantly walked up to the gate, catching sight of a horse. Looking at the young man who was currently holding the reins to the horse, Zhizhou paused and said, "This horse..."


    The little servant, Chang Shun, quivered - quickly rushing forward to win the young master''s favour. "Young master, we can only get Ta Xue after two days. Zhui Feng is an old horse, but he truly is fast. He is steady and is also very formidable. How about... you give him a try?"


    ...what was he meant to do now? He didn''t even know how to ride a horse in the first ce!


    Silently swallowing the words down, <b>he threw his sleeve</b>, pretending to look at Zhui Feng in disdain. "What is the meaning of riding on such an old horse. Not even a little bit of fierce. Scram, and give this master a carriage."


    <i><b>{T/N: A term used to describe an action usually used by arrogant people when they''re upset}</b></i>


    Seeing that the young master was not going to throw a fit at not being able to ride Ta Xue, Chang Shun heaved in a breath in his heart. Hurriedly, he rushed forward to hold Zhui Feng, saying, "Young master, please wait - I will bring the carriage over." After bowing, he led the horse away.


    Chang Fu suffered a hard time after receiving his assignment; remembering the Madam''s warning that morning, he could only step forward and carefully ask. "Young master, the Master will be back tonight, your homework..."


    The Zhen Guogong, An Wenhua, was the current Minister of Revenue. Before he was sent out to settle a corruption case by the Emperor, he had arranged a lot of homework for An Chengle. The minister had said that he would check and test him after returning. However, in the month that Zhen Guogong was away, it couldn''t be said that An Chengle did any studying - he didn''t even set a foot in the study room, let alone write a line or two! Not only that, Chengle also went out and made mischief. The extremely violent horse named Ta Xue that was bought a few days ago was just one of the irond proofs.


    The system data in his brain turned like cogs - and while maintaining a disdainful expression, Ye Zhizhou stiffened for three seconds, then quickly rposed to let out a noise of arrogant disagreement. "What are you trying to say with all these long-winded and sweetened words? What homework? I won''t do it - my dad won''t kill me anyway. By the way, why can I only get Ta Xue after two days? I want to ride it now!"


    Chang Fu simply wanted to cry, weakly exining the reason. "The horse was first set aside for another - so the dealer has to exin the situation to the other buyer before he can give you the horse..."


    "Simply dawdling! Even buying a mere horse is so troublesome, I don''t want it! Just you wait, I''m giving that horse back!" An Chengle interrupted Chang Fu''s words in an impatient manner. Seeing Chang Shun park the carriage in front of him, he walked up the few steps and climbed in. "Go to West Street, I want to go to that newly opened Treasure Pavilion!"


    The two servants looked at each other in dismay. Chang Shun took a quick nce at the dim-witted Chang Fu - thinking about what he had heard as he was returning, he very carefully asked, "Young master, do you really not want Ta Xue?"


    "I don''t want it! Just go!" Lei Baofei was really set on this horse - even if it was a very good buy, he must not buy it!


    The carriage stopped in front of a small shop on the corner of West Street. Ye Zhizhou lifted the curtain of the carriage and hopped off - ncing at the tiny store and blinking. Treasure Pavilion, the first store opened by the protagonist after he came to the capital; it sold rare items that this world didn''t have, and it was very much liked and sought after by the wealthy. The shop quickly became an important way for the protagonist to umte wealth in the early stages of the story.


    Treasure? Humph, it was just some little gadgets and the like.


    Ye Zhizhou stepped in and nced at the second floor - hooking up his lips and turning to look at the waiter who hade to greet him. In a tone of ''<i>this young master doesn''tck money</i>'', he said, "Bring out all the best and rarest items you have. If I really have never seen it, I will buy it for double the price."


    The other guests in the shop were askance.


    Chang Shun and Chang Fu were extremely frightened at hearing these arrogant words. This Treasure Pavilion had only recently opened, but all its items were as expensive as expensive could get, and as rare as rare could get. Everyone who had entered whilst thinking the shop a joke was ultimately pped in the face at the end. The young master had so much money to burn, ah!


    The smile on the waiter''s face froze for a moment, then returned with even more brilliance. "Valued guest, please wait a minute - I will go and collect the goods for you."


    "Young master." After the waiter left, Chang Shun nced at other guests and stepped forward, speaking in a low voice. "All your money has already been spent to buy Ta Xue. The items from Treasure Pavilion are even more expensive. You see..."


    "Didn''t I say I wanted to return Ta Xue?" Ye Zhizhou pretended to be impatient and just waved his hand, walking to the visitor''s chair and sitting down. "Gentleman do not take other people''s loved ones. Ta Xue and I have no fate together, return it."


    Chang Shun was taken aback by his young master. Turning to look at Chang Fu, he actually couldn''t process the idea in his head.


    The waiter quickly returned with a tray, confidently putting it in front of Ye Zhizhou. He smiled, speaking, "Valued guests, these are actually new items that had just arrived this morning. The owner has said that if anyone can identify these items, they will be free for the person."


    Ye Zhizhou blew a whistle in his heart - An Chengjie really was here today. This trip suddenly became worthwhile! Hooking his lips, he smiled. ncing at the tray, he picked up a cylindrical object, twisting it for a while then dismissing it with a scoff. "Isn''t this something children y with in the Foreign Land? This young master believes they call it a kaleidoscope - they twist it to see a flower-like thing - how boring."


    The smile on the waiter''s face froze.


    Ye Zhizhou then picked up a wooden box that was iid with various precious stones. Opening it up, he looked at it - then unscrewed the clockwork that was carved into a flower shape under the box. Pouting, he said, "It''s also another Foreign Land''s toy. After twisting this part, music is yed - but it''s just a few monotonous sounds. Boring."


    The guests who were waiting to see a joke gradually crowded around the youth, whispering. The waiter swallowed his saliva, feeling somewhat panicked.


    "Oh, and did you burn the transparent ss at home? This color only exists in the Foreign Land." Ye Zhizhou poked the ugly ss vial in the corner of the tray, then picked up the ancient version of the magnifying ss. With disgusted eyes, he spoke. "This ss can magnify things, but it''s easy to produce. All one needs to do it curve the ss into this angle."


    After putting the item down, he pointed at the remaining ones - naming each product. "That''s soap, which can be extracted from heated pig oil; it''s normally used for bathing. The item beside it is used to clean teeth. The rest are pencils, which also originates from the Foreign Land. It''s used for writing and is erasable."


    The waiter already felt foolish, and the guests were astonished.


    "I say," He pushed away the tray and sneered, "You are a scamming, ck shop, aren''t you? You just use some toys from the Foreign Land to con our people. You sell a few coins worth of items for hundreds of thousands. Your heart is really ck." After saying this, he straightened his back and patted his sleeves - snorting coldly. "Really, all businessmen are evil. Chang Shun, Chang Fu, let''s go! What Treasure Pavilion, it should be called the ck Heart Pavilion instead!"


    Chang Shun and Chang Fu were stunned at this reversal, immediately looked at their younger master and quickly followed.


    The trio drove away, leaving the waiter to face the skeptical customers. He couldn''t help but take a step back, heart panicking. "Ladies and gentlemen, please don''t listen to that nonsense. Everything in our shop is fairly priced..."


    "ck hearted shop, return our money!" No one knew who had shouted first, but the angry demand incited the other guests. Shedding their hesitation, they all surrounded the waiter - enquiringly, questioning and roaring, all kinds of angry screams filling the air.


    On the second floor of the store, An Chengjie stiffened - his hands stilling and his mind filling with shock. Lei Baofei, who was sitting in the opposite chair, slowly put down his cup. The friendly smile on the handsome face faded away, and he scrutinised An Chengjie with a glint in his eyes.


    [The love probability of Lei Baofei and the protagonist has dropped to 70%. Please make persistent effort, Host]


    Ye Zhizhou, who was once again analysing the plot in the carriage, was stunned. However, the shock quickly turned to enthusiasm. "Was Lei Baofei also upstairs in the shop?"


    This was really a pleasant surprise. He had thought that Lei Baofei''s soul g would be the hardest pull out - and that he would need a long-term n to get rid of it. But now, it seemed that this g was actually the easiest!


    When Ye Zhizhou read over the data, he discovered that Lei Baofei''s romantic feelings for the protagonist were all based on thetter''s holy light. After realising this, what was there to not understand! What Lei Baofei liked was the ''truthfulness, goodness, and beauty'' of the protagonist. As long as Zhizhou tore apart the protagonist''syer of ''truthfulness, goodness, and beauty''.... well, pulling out the soul g would be just around the corner!


    In the evening, the Madam apanied him at dinner. Inquiring for news about An Chengsheng, he was told that the elder son and his friends had gone out to sightsee. Learning of this, Ye Zhizhou returned to his courtyard - satisfied and tired.


    The next day, he was awakened by Chang Shun. Meticulously dressed up, Ye Zhizhou was sent to the Madam''s courtyard in a daze.


    "Unfortunately, your father has gotten dyed on the road and can only arrive in the afternoon." The beautiful woman took a jade pendant from the box, her eyes full with worry. "After you enter the pce, behave yourself - put away your short temper. The eighth prince might not necessarily choose you, so don''t make any trouble, okay?"


    Even after staying in three worlds, this was the first time Ye Zhizhou had felt a mother''s love. He couldn''t help but soften his heart whenever he saw the beautiful woman. "I understand, mother."


    Finally, she picked up a small exquisite jade, hanging the pendant on her son''s neck. After arranging it nicely, she sighed. "You must me me for spoiling you too much... well, the imperial carriage is already waiting at the door for you. Go quickly, it''s not good to dy these kinds of matters."


    He meekly and respectfully bid his farewell. With a trace of warmth in his heart, he set foot in the carriage.


    The emperor had summoned all youths who were known to have intellectual knowledge or schrly inclinations to enter the pce. Therefore, all the candidates had brought a few pieces of their most famous works with them. In the garden where the feast was held, only Ye Zhizhou entered with a <b>rattle drum</b> in his hand. Swaying it around, he practically exuded the words ''ignorant'' and ''ipetent''.


    <i><b>{T/N: A drum-shaped rattle mostly used by peddlers or as a children''s toy}</b></i><figure contenteditable="false">


    <span><span>

    "Pst, I think it''s the An family''s rubbish - so disgraceful, that one; always making a show of himself." An unrestrained sneer rose up on Ye Zhizhou''s face. Looking in passing, he searched for information in the original''s memory on the person who just spoke. Carelessly shaking the rattle-drum, he coldly said, "I also don''t know which one of the <b>Jun Jie</b> was driven out from the <b>Yihong Courtyard</b>st night because he couldn''t afford the cost. Tsk, tsk, talking out about someone else when even his own pants aren''t properly worn.


    <i><b>{T/N: Jun Jie refers to a genius or an elite}</b></i>


    <i><b>{T/N: Yihong Courtyard is the name of a brothel}</b></i>


    A strange silence spread in the garden. All the people who were talking about literature and the arts stopped to looked at Ye Zhizhou. The person in question merely grinned, ''bashfully'' speaking. "I still have a lot of stories like the one I just told. Do you want to hear them?"


    The crowd all turned and continued their prior actions, acting as if nothing had happened. The young boy whose scandal was exposed, pointed at Ye Zhizhou in a furious manner. His mouth just opened and closed, no words escaping. Eventually, he ran away - tail tucked in between his legs.


    "I want to hear your stories." The light voice of a youth was suddenly heard from a corner of the garden. Ye Zhizhou turned his head around, seeing a pale young man in a ck robe; the man was sitting in a wheelchair that was being carefully pushed by a eunuch. His facial features were exquisite and gorgeous - yet held no expression; his eyes were especially dark, and those who fell under his gaze would feel like the prey of a snake. "Your surname is An?" The man in question focused an intense look at Ye Zhizhou, emotions still yet to appear on the handsome face. He looked at the other, and stretched out a pale thin finger. "I like your eyes... give them to me."


    <b>"What?!"</b>

    ______________________________


    The garden was silent once more, but this time because of the youth''s sudden appearance. Together with the crowd was Ye Zhizhou, who was frightened to tears.


    "You don''t want to?" The youth slowly withdrew his hand, and bowed his head slightly - his jet-ck hair falling onto his shoulder and cascading down onto the gold trimmed ck robe. "De An, push me forward."


    The ordinary faced eunuch respectfully nodded - pushing the wheelchair to Ye Zhizhou.


    Previously, the youth was covered by a scenery of flowers and trees - hiding his countenance. But as he drew closer, the feeling of danger increased - and Ye Zhizhou''s back stiffened by instinct. His hands unconsciously clenched and unclenched, causing the rattle-drum to send out a dull sound.


    The gaze of the youth in the ck robe shifted to the instrument. The hand rose once again, this time in the direction of the sound. Wide sleeves slipped down, exposing a pale and slender wrist. "This drum...." The fair and slim fingers held the back of Ye Zhizhou''s hand, slightly applying pressure to the hold. "Give it to me?"


    The hand that was held felt cold - He couldn''t help but want to move, only suppressing his desire at thest minute. ncing at the youth''s golden crown and waistband, he could feel his blood running cold. He opened his mouth, speaking with a low tone. "Eighth prince?"


    "Isn''t that a given?" The youth slowly withdrew his hand, looking at the other with fixed eyes. Suddenly, both hands held the wheelchair''s handrail, and he tried to stand up; a morbid red was unknowingly painted on the exquisite face due to the exertion. "Why won''t youe?"


    Ye Zhizhou was scared senseless by this entric youth. Obviously it was spring, and the scenery was great - even the air was filled with warmth. Yet, the eyes and tone of the person in front of him made him feel like he was in a frozenke during the cold winter.


    The youth who stood up became more eye-catching - and though it was obviously just a heavy and sinister robe held tight with a gold belt, there was a sense of softness that was emitted. One step after another, he slowly walked towards Ye Zhizhou - those jet-ck eyes staring out at him. The youth ced his hand on Ye Zhizhou''s shoulders - and slowly leaned in towards the other''s heart, closing his eyes. "Caught you, you''re mine now."


    What the hell!


    He could guess the other''s identity, but Ye Zhizhou did not dare to mess with him; he stood stiffly due to the spiritual force that began to scurry around his body. "This... you want this rattle-drum? You move back a bit, and I''ll give it to you." The other party was only a teenager who was half a head shorter than himself - yet the youth''s strange loftiness had immense pressure, making him feel weak. Shameful! Too shameful!


    The force on his shoulder slightly increased, then started moving towards his neck.


    ....Holding even tighter! A faint medicinal scent wafted from the youth, the warm breeze its messenger. Ye Zhizhou uneasily raised his head, looking at the middle-aged eunuch standing by the wheelchair. "Eunuch De An, his majesty is..."


    He suddenly felt a faint tingling sensation run down his neck. Afterwards, his body ckened, and the spiritual force surrounding his body gradually stagnated. "You..." Ye Zhizhou was stunned. His body, unable to bear his own weight, copsed - and thest thing he saw was the eighth prince''s emotionless and sinister ck eyes.


    The other youngsters in the garden stared nkly at the scene, watching as Ye Zhizhou was suddenly hugged by the youth in ck and forced to sit in the huge wheelchair. They were then pushed by the eunuch along the flower trail.


    "Ah! Ah! Ah! An Chengle was taken away by the devil!" Liu Gongzi, who was the person previously ridiculed by Ye Zhizhou, suddenly cried out in fear. The sudden shout broke the strange calm in the garden - and the other youths looked at each other. Overwhelming panic spread out, all of them at their wits end.


    A wizened pce eunuch suddenly appeared with a group of imperial guards - announcing, "Today''s small feast is over. We ask that the talents leave with the imperial guards. Your majesty, the emperor, has bestowed rewards upon everyone''s residences. Remember, you are not to say anything about this matter, otherwise...."


    The youths, inexperienced in the ways of life, were frightened by this profound manner of speaking and strange smile. They simply bowed their heads and squeaked, resembling a quail hiding in its nest.


    The eunuch smiled in satisfaction, and waved to the guards behind him - whom turned around to escort the youths out.


    When Ye Zhizhou woke up, he found himself at his house - his current host''s mother on the bedside, weeping silently. There was a tall man standing a few steps away from the bed, but the curtains hindered him from seeing the other''s facial features.


    "Yan er, I am not heartless - but the imperial edict has already been decreed. Your husband is helpless to do anything ."


    Zhenguo Gong''s madam, Lou Yanqi, wiped her tears. With fear colouring her tone, she said, "Is there really no other way? Le Er will soon enter the pce, and once he enters...."


    "It really isn''t possible..." Zhenguo Gong, An Wenhua, looked at his wife - gazing at the swollen eyes and red nose. Sighing, he approached her, patting her back. "Tomorrow, I will go ask his majesty, the emperor, if he can change the candidates. As Chengjie is better than Le Er in terms of literary talent, it shouldn''t be impossible..."


    Eh? Change the candidates?!


    "No!" He talked too quickly, and ended up choking on his own saliva. He sat up, anxiously. "I am willing to be the eighth prince''s studypanion! Father must not disobey the imperial edict for me!" Under no circumstances must you allow the protagonist to go to the seventh prince''s pce!


    Lou Yanqi assisted him through her own distress - for hearing what he had said caused her to feel worried and anxious. "What is this child saying? What is so good about being a studypanion, you are even required to live in the pce! Based on your temper, you might want to today, but in the future...." Saying that, she once again got choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face.


    "Mother," Holding her hand with a serious expression, he continued to speak earnestly. "The eighth prince''s temperament is entric - if we hastily request for a change in candidates, it''s sure to make him unhappy. The emperor is paying so much attention to the eighth prince right now - if we oppose his majesty''s most beloved son... father, mother, after the Spring Festival is the imperial exam; I must not drag down big brother at this time!"


    Lou Yanqi heard what he said, and stared back nkly. An Wenhua looked at his second son in surprise; his serious expression softened, and he lifted his hand to touch the youth''s forehead, sighing deeply. "Le Er has grown, he now knows to consider his family. But it truly will not be easy being the eighth prince''s studypanion, can''t you rethink?"


    "I''ve already though a lot about it - and I promise that I will try my best." Ye Zhizhou looked at Lou Yanqi, tugging her hand sightly. "Mother, you can just depend on me..."


    Lou Yanqi leaned in and hugged him, feeling more depressed than before. "You foolish child...."


    Atst, he had convinced his incessantly weeping mother and stern faced father. Heid in bed; wiping his face with his sleeves and turning over to one side of his pillow. "Heaven?"


    A ck and gold embroidered pouch suddenly fell down onto his pillow. Staring nkly, he reached for the item and opened it. He saw Heaven lying inside, next to a small note; the scent of ink mixed with a medicinal smell. Ye Zhizhou scrunched up his eyebrows, and brought out the slip of paper.


    ''When I awake, so must you - Mingyong''


    Yan Mingyong was the youngest of the emperor''s eight sons - the birth mother being Hui Jieyu. At the age of eleven, he identally drank the poison intended for the emperor by the rebels. Although he saved an imperial life, he turned into an invalid - frail enough to get blown away by the wind. The emperor, feeling extremely sorry, practically granted his eighth son everything he asked for. Inside the pce, Yan Mingyong was one of the people one should never offend!


    An invalid that could be knocked down by the wind had such skilful and incapacitating agents, ah!


    "Yan. Ming. Yong." Ye Zhizhou gritted his teeth, and pressed a hand onto the puncture wound on his neck. A cold light shed through his eyes. "Thirteen years old, yet daring to dress as if thirty-three - scaring people. Just you wait, this grandfather will show you reality!"


    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª


    Fast forwarding to the hour An Chengsheng returned home, Ye Zhizhou could see his body''s elder brother hurriedly rushing to his courtyard. Seeing the servants packing the luggage, he furiously said, "I, An Chensheng, does not need my younger brother''s life exchanged for my future! Stop this!"


    <b>[T/N: This sounded so </b><b>chuuni</b><b> on MTL I couldn''t stopughing XD]</b>


    Ye Zhizhou sized up this handsome and refined, but cheap, older brother of his. He really couldn''t imagine that this concerned man had became a cold-blooded brother who didn''t care for his younger brother''s fate in order to support the protagonist.


    "Big brother," Zhizhou motioned for Chang Shun and Chang Fu to exit, then took a step forward towards. An Chengsheng, who was ring and spitting in anger, was pushed down into a chair. "There is no leeway regarding me bing the eighth prince''s studypanion. Big brother, you should calm down."


    "You still expect me to be calm!" Hitting the table with his fist, An Chengsheng''s face was filled with anxiety. "You aren''t aware, Le Le - but this eighth prince, Yan Mingyong, is not simple at all. Before, he rarely appeared in public - but it wasn''t because his body was ill to the point he couldn''t get out of bed; it was because¡ª"


    The door was mmed open, and the ck-robed youth in question looked straight at An Chengsheng - his eyes full of an indiscernible emotion. "Because of what, An <b>Shizi</b>?"


    <b>[T/N: </b><b>Shizi</b><b> is amon title used for the sons of aristocrats or senior officials. Unlike </b><b>Zhengguo</b><b> Gong, this is not an official title.]</b>


    An Chengsheng''s face suddenly changed - and he grabbed Ye Zhizhou by the shoulder to pull him behind. The refined aura disappeared and turned ferocious. "His highness, the eighth prince, this one hopes that you are well."


    "As do I." Yan Mingyong held onto the handrail of the wheelchair and stood up, a smile painted on the handsome face. "Southern Jiangnan''s fraud case, Huainan''s <b>private salt case</b>, the Ministry of Justice''s Fang Tong, the Ministry of Appointments'' Wen Qian, the Ministry of Revenue''s Yuan Chunyi, West Zuoying Army''s Yang Youcai.... is this enough for you?"


    <b>[T/N: A private salt case, in Ancient China, refers to salt trafficking; which was verymon due to the high costs of salt. It was amon practice for both thieves and officials.]</b>


    An Chengsheng''s body froze in shock, looking at the youth in horror. His body was tense, and his palms were clenched - a thinyer of cold sweat forming on his forehead. How did the eighth prince know of the secret matters buried deep with various ministries! Don''t tell me that there is a traitor on our side?!


    Ye Zhizhou, who was getting more and more confused, stepped out - frowning slightly. "What are you talking about?" What fraud case, private salt case? But he didn''t remember any of these mentioned in the system''s data? Don''t tell me that Heaven is glitching again?


    [Please trust the system.]


    He ignored the screen pop up, and looked at Yan Mingyong - who was outside the room. Ye Zhizhou, grinning evilly, spoke in an intimate manner. "His highness, the eighth prince, have you heard of this story?"


    Yan Mingyong''s eyes shed when he saw the smile. Slowly striding forwards, it was not even after two steps that he had to stop and stoop down to cough. Then, with one hand on his mouth and the other on the door frame - he copsed to the ground.


    Ye Zhizhou''s smile turned stiff. Seeing the youth on the verge of <b>returning to the West</b>, rm bells began to ring in his head. Darting over, he crouched down to support the frail body of the imperial prince.


    "What''s wrong with you? Where do you feel ufortable?" Under no circumstances could he die now, ah! If he died here, then the emperor would wipe out the <b>Zhenguo</b><b> Gong Fu</b>, ah!


    [<b>T/N: Return to the West is a </b><b>Daoist</b><b> term referring to death</b>.]


    [<b>T/N: The </b><b>Zhenguo</b><b> Gong Fu is the </b><b>Zhenguo</b><b> Gong''s post or the fiefdom of which the </b><b>Zhenguo</b><b> Gong is in charge of.</b>]


    Breathing shallowly, Yan Mingyong took his hand and grabbed onto his arm - leaning forward like before. His mouth was still full of blood, but on his face was a satisfied smile. "Caught you, again... you are mine, mine."


    The scent of medicine began to invade his senses again. Ye Zhizhou looked down at the blood stains on his sleeves, and then at the youth''s pale and bloody face. He frowned. What to do? The eighth prince is a mental case! Being his studypanion, can he still back out now?

    Inside the hall of<b> Yong Yan Pce</b>, imperial physicians and pce maids bustled around. Ye Zhizhou stood away from the crowd, standing crouched between the hall and the corridor. Looking at the corner of the room, he analysed the ck-robed imperial guards that were stationed there. Madly poking the system, he spoke. "Tong Tian! Are you sure you didn''t overlook any information? How could the eighth prince have the Zijin Imperial Guards?"


    <b><i>{T/N: Name of the residence of the eighth prince.}</i></b>


    These were the personal soldiers of the emperor, who had the privilege of standing outside the imperial system. They only recognised one master in their lifetime, and were the best swordsmen utilised by the Emperor.


    In the original plot, the seventh prince wanted to subdue them after he ascended to the throne. Unfortunately, the group of soldiers resisted;mitting suicide by poison to protect the emperor in the afterlife.


    [System has given all the necessary information.]


    In his heart, Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes - epting his misfortune. Information on the sickly and short-lived eighth prince was not much in the original plot - and his existence seemed to only be there as a springboard tounch An Chengjie into the imperial circle. Particrly because of his physical state and age, he seemed very in among the many outstanding princes; only having few lines of description before he died.


    In the original, only the emperor had grieved for the death of his eighth son - causing his body to be sick for a month. The seventh prince, following An Chengjie''s advice, took the opportunity to gain the emperor''s favour - polishing his solid foundation in the imperial court.


    Turning off the data, Ye Zhizhou frowned; in the morning, An Chengsheng had said that the eighth prince was not a simple person. Afterwards, the eighth prince had mentioned information not recorded in the system data - and in addition to the presence of the Zijin Imperial Guards...... the eighth prince he met and the eighth prince he was meant to meet werepletely different! Ah, it really was suspicious!


    "The emperor has arrived!"


    The sharp voice alerted everyone to the presence of their monarch. Ye Zhizhou looked toward the source, spying upon a bright yellow figure within a group of people; the crowd quickly rushed forward, anxious to greet the emperor. All the servants and guards began to kneel in a show of respect.


    He had almost forgotten that there were these kinds of ancient ceremonies in this world...... and to minimalise his presence, he had no choice but to bow his head and kneel to the ground with the crowd. However, heaven was not willing, and the yellow-dressed figure suddenly stopped in front of him. A majestic but heavy voice sounded from not far above his head, "You are An Chengle?"


    Ye Zhizhou moved - wanting to look up, but being afraid of provoking the taboo of ''no eye contact with the emperor''. As such, he only straightened his back, and answered the question. "Answering the emperor, An Chengle is indeed this humble servant."


    "Get up, and follow me in." Without a second nce, the monarch continued to walk forward.


    A small eunuch stepped out from behind the emperor, bending over to make a gesture of sincere respect. Ye Zhizhou, unable to refuse, straightened his back and stared after the emperor who had rushed into the inner pce, sighing in his heart. The ancient times were not good - the imperial power too great, and no human rights for the civilians. Kneeling down was so annoying, and though he wanted to resist this type of imperial decree, it waspletely oppressive.


    Entering the pce, Emperor Yan Di first went to see the unconscious Yan Mingyong. After sitting for a while, he called the imperial doctor to ask of his son''s current situation. He learnt that Yan Mingyong had suddenly copsed due to his emotional excitement, causing him to cough up blood. After hearing of this, the emperor''s expression changed - and a thoughtful stare focused itself on Ye Zhizhou, who was standing in the corner.


    Ye Zhizhou''s hair stood straight, and he slowly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. One couldn''t me him - it was already scary seeing the eighth prince vomit blood while smiling, and now he had to worry about the intention of this Yan Di.


    Fortunately, Emperor Yan quickly withdrew his gaze, choosing to sit down with a contemting expression on his face. Suddenly, he got up and retreated with his people out of the hall, speaking over his shoulder. "Be good to Mingyong."


    Not long after, arge reward was gifted to Yongyan Pce - containing many valuable medicines; and it seemed that there were also many rewards being sent to the Zhenguo Gong Fu.


    Ye Zhizhou, scanning over the gifts list, thought that the emperor was indeed wealthy.


    The next morning, he woke up dazed in a side chamber of Yong Yan pce. Realising that his body felt heavier than usual - he confusedly looked down, and was subsequently shocked by what he saw.


    A young man clothed in white was sleeping in his arms - hands and feet wrapped tight around him. His face leaned on Ye Zhizhou''s chest, ck hair scattered on top of the both of them, mixing with his own loose hair. Such an intimate scene, ah!


    His mind nked out for a minute, then it suddenly hit him: how could someone, who was lying unconscious in the main hall yesterday, appear in his bed? And Ye Zhizhou didn''t even notice that someone had climbed into his bed - it was simply bizarre! His spiritual power wouldn''t have allowed him to be so unguarded!


    Wait, a second......


    A metaphorical lightbulb suddenly flicked on, and a surprising yet frightening guess came to mind. There was only one person in this world who could make him so unguarded like this - and it was that faulty-brained lover of his. Looking back at the eighth prince''s mental case yesterday, it seemed likely that....


    But then, why didn''t his spirit force react when near this person? In the previous worlds, it was always stirred up when in proximity...... could it be that in this lifetime, that man''s already weak spiritual force hadpletely disappeared?


    Various theories and thoughts ran across his mind. Ye Zhihzou''s spiritual force hesitantly lingered on the side of the other person''s head, wanting to explore, but anxious at the possible results. If the other party was his lover, then naturally - it would be everyone''s delight and satisfaction. But if he was not...... well, this eighth prince who already bore a weak body and defective brain might not be able to survive the spiritual scans......


    Reason and emotions fighting a chaotic battle, he looked down at the youth in his arms with aplicated gaze. Trying to endure without much sess, Ye Zhizhou gathered his courage and reached out to the youth''s pants. Spiritual scans were temporarily out of question - but there was still one more method that he could always try... and though he wasn''t sure whether the birthmark would always exist in every world, it was at least something. A guilty feeling of indecency rose in his heart as he leaned towards the minor. Fingers trembling, he held the other person''s clothes and lifted them up. Then, he reached out for the waistband of the...... he prayed to God to forgive him of his crime.


    "What are you doing?"


    There was a cold feeling on the back of his hand - and all of a sudden, it was tightly held in another''s vice-like grip.


    ! ! !


    Ye Zhizhou eyes widened, and held his breath.


    Yan Mingyong slowly got up, gradually tightening his grip around the wrist. Pulling his body forward, the wide cor slipped slightly open, exposing a white and frail looking chest. And probably because he had just been woken up, there was a tinge of red on his pale face, making it appear even more alluring. "Do you like my body?"


    "Ha?" Ye Zhizhou felt dumbfounded; the youth''s reaction waspletely different to expectations. Where were the words of interrogation? The punishment?


    Where was the denouncement of his ''pervertedness''?


    There was a smile on the youth''s pale face, and his eyes were full of delight. With a trace of huskiness in the pre-pubescent voice, he said, "That''s good." With these bold words, Yan Mingyong pulled down on Ye Zhizhou''s cor, cing his own hand on the other''s neck. "Do you want me to teach you?"


    Save me, ah! There''s a pervert!<b><i></i></b>


    Ye Zhizhou retracted his hand as if he had gotten an electric shock. Climbing away from the side of the bed, he stiffly changed the subject. "Good morning, your highness. You must be hungry - and so, I''ll serve you after getting ready, alright?"


    The question was left unanswered as the smile on the eighth prince''s face slowly disappeared. Yan Mingyong straightened, staring at Ye Zhizhou; switching his gaze front thetter''s face, to baby fat, to 3cm down the navel. After quite some time, he spoke: "Haven''t you grown up yet? Oh right, you are only 16 years old this year."


    Child - you too have yet to mature! Only 13 years old this year, ah! Aren''t you too abnormal?


    "It doesn''t matter." Yan Mingyong lifted his hand to tidy up his cor. A smiled, once again, appeared on his face. A strange light shed through his ck eyes. "After all, I have grown up."


    ......


    That was even worse!


    For a whole morning, Ye Zhizhou was in a state of numbness due to his emotional overstimtion. Yan Mingyong kept close, but did not harass him - opting instead to quietly read a book. The emperor arrived at lunchtime, and after eating, took a walk with them. Before leaving, he had also rewarded Ye Zhizhou with many items. After his father''s departure, Yan Mingyong took to sleep after consuming the medicine. Ye Zhizhou, slowly pulling away the hand that held his body, called out to De An in a low voice. When De An had settled down the prince, he stealthily snuck out from the study room with a few pieces of paper. Writing a few lines of words in a dog-like crawl, he ran out from the Yong Yan Pce.


    The pces belonging to the princes were not far apart from each other. Avoiding the patrolling guards, he approached the seventh prince''s residence, Deyang Pce. And quickly after arriving, he dispersed his spirit power over his body in order to conceal himself. With some effort, he finally reached the outside of the bedroom window. Pushing it slightly open, he flicked the note to the edge of the seventh prince''s pillow with a finger - then quickly closed the window and left.


    The next morning, Ye Zhihou wasn''t all that surprised at the extra body in his bed - but his level two spiritual force, as if it was an ornament, had once again failed to sense the other''s approach. Silently wiping his face, he nervously shifted - unwilling to wake the other, but too entangled to move. But the very next second, his wrist was grasped; the youth, head tilted to one side, drowsily whispered in the older''s ears. "Le Er, did you miss me?"


    "No." Thinking of the fear he had felt when his shameful act was caught yesterday, he decided that he want to be a bully today. Deliberately, in a firm manner, he said: "You''re too thin - I don''t have any interest in you. Also, don''t call me Le Er, call me Gong Zi!"


    <b><i>[T/N: </i></b><b><i>Le</i></b><b><i> Er is an affectionate name for An </i></b><b><i>Chengle</i></b><b><i>; whereas Gong Zi is a title used to address a son of nobility]</i></b>


    The grip on his wrist tightened, only releasing after some time. Yan Mingyong, who was previously in Ye Zhizhou''s arms, slowly got up - looking at him with an expressionless face; not speaking nor moving. Looking at the scene, Ye Zhizhou''s heartbeat slightly sped up.


    "Le Er." For a long time, Ye Zizhou felt that the air in the bedchamber had be a lot thinner. He swallowed the saliva that was pooling in his mouth, and just as he was about to admit defeat, the other person spoke - thin fingers leaning over to touch his cheek gently. "I suddenly remember that you have a very annoying brother named An Chengjie."


    Ye Zhizhou stiffened, and his heartbeat quickened - not understanding why the other party had suddenly raised the protagonist''s name.


    "After you ruined the reputation of his Treasure Pavilion, he closed the shop." Slowly, the fingers dropped to his neck, firm but still gentle. "Xi Zi Gui, this is the name of his newly opened restaurant."


    The protagonist actually opened the restaurant so quickly?


    "Le Er." The amount of force applied on the neck increased slightly - the thin youth leaning forward, bringing with him a medicinal scent. "You can''t escape." Gently, Yan Mingyong dropped down, rubbing the other''s neck with his check. Long hair was scattered over his arm in a devilish manner, calling forth a chill. He whispered, quietly, but viciously - as if he himself was the devil''s call. "Your enemy can fall to hell; or I can bring you down with me to that same zing ce of sins. What do you choose?"


    Ye Zhizhou frowned - and his spirit quickly spread out, wrapping around the two people. Face set in a cold expression, he pushed the youth away, sneering all the while. "Trying to deceive people? Trying to trick people into falling to hell?" He pushed the other down, slightly pressing his leg down on the top of the pale body to restrict Mingyong''s movements. Suddenly, Ye Zhizhou lifted his hand - bringing it firmly down to p the youth on the butt. "Age is not important; after all it is but a number; so let this senior teach you what hell truly feels like!" The *pa pa pa* sound that rang after these words were heard clearly. Ah, finally! Ye Zhizhou had really wanted to do this long ago! This child who had kept on getting on his nerves, could finally be disciplined!


    The sound of the ps was loud and crisp. Yan Mingyong''s shocked face trembled, attempting to stand up without prevail. In a sloppy manner, his arms reached out to grab the back of Ye Zhizhou''s neck - and in a cold manner, he ruthlessly said: "An! Cheng! Le!"


    "Oh, so you do know how to address me by my name." Ye Zhizhou was not scared by the vicious expression and the youth''s face - and he also didn''t care about the feeble amount of strength that was in the arms around his neck. His right hand quickly stretched outwards, pulling the youth''s pants down. Pulling Yan Mingyong into his arms, Ye Zhizhou look down at the two globes of fat.


    A red, bird-shaped birthmark was present on the buttock, brightly lit.


    "You..." The expression on Ye Zhizhou''s face stiffened, and then slowly grew nk; the hand pulling on the pair of trousers also losing strength. He absentmindedly looked down at Yan Mingyong, who was angry to the point that his face had grown red. "So, it really is you... the you in this lifetime... how did you be this weak?"


    Yan Mingyong didn''t speak, only staring at the other with an indiscernible expression on his face. His bloodshot eyes widened, and the tight grip on Ye Zhizhou''s neck loosened; chest swelling violently, the younger of the two swallowed the words he wanted to say, and instead leaned over to the side of the bed - vomiting out a mouthful of blood.


    "Mingyong!" The red stain on the cyan silk sheets began to grow without pause. Ye Zhizhou was scared - scared to the point that his soul had begun to tremble. Quickly rushing over, he gently grabbed hold of the other - panicking at the sight of blood stained lips. With a fearful cry, he said: "You, you cannot die right now!"


    __________________________________

 Chapter 32

    The imperial physicians returned to Yongyan Pce once more. Fortunately, Yan Mingyong hadn''t fainted this time. The younger had firmly pulled on Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand, looking at him with bloodshot eyes - silent but clear-headed.


    Already familiar with the series of events, the imperial physicians quickly checked his pulse and prescribed the correct medicine. They did not know how many times they had already said it, but they had to say the same repetitive words every time they came. "Your highness, please avoid anything that can cause disruptive emotions; you must stay in bed for the rest of the month. The food consumed should be light, and it would be best if¡­"


    "Shut up." Yan Mingyong finally opened his mouth, if only to chase the people out. "Everyone get out. No one is allowed to stay. De An, shut the pce door - I won''t see anyone!"


    The physicians were silent as they hurriedly packed their medical equipment and left.


    Only Yan Mingyong and Ye Zhizhou were left in the pce. Ye Zhizhou, seeing the younger''s pale and weak look, couldn''t help but feel worried. Stepping forward, he helped pull up the quilt and held out his hand. "I won''t leave. Just get a good rest - don''t think about it too much.¡± Seeing his lover nearly die from excessive anger just as he found him, Zhizhou was secretly panicked in his heart.


    Yan Mingyong continued to stare at him, lips pale and blue. The distorted expression on his face emitted an evil aura. "An Chengle! This prince can ignore your previous impudent actions, but remember that you''ll live here for a lifetime! If you dare to leave, I will take you to hell!"


    This was the first time that Yan Mingyong had used his imperial title in front of Ye Zhizhou. After finding out that the younger was his lover, Ye Zhizhou couldn''t feel any fear or jealousy towards him. He couldn''t help but reveal a smile at the threat. "So? You will surely follow, and you will certainly recognize me at first nce." Although his lover did not retain his past memories - it seemed that at first sight, he could recognise him with his own instincts. He believed that if there was a next life, this person would be able to recognize him once more.


    Yan Mingyong was stunned by the gentle and intimate response. But soon after, his face darkened and he continued on with his threat. "Then, it won''t only be you; your brother, parents, and family as well. You may not be afraid to go to hell, but what about your family? If you don¡¯t want them toe to harm, just stay with me!"


    "Yes, yes - I know you''re powerful. Now, just rest." Ye Zhizhou patted his head as if he was a puppy, stroking the long hair soon after. "The imperial physician said that you have to recuperate; sleep, ok?"


    Yan Mingyong stiffened with a frown, secretly liking the intimacy. He wanted to open his mouth to continue his ruthless words - however, Ye Zhizhou quickly covered his mouth with a hand. "Your eyes are clearly red and bloodshot, yet you''re still not going to sleep?" He helplessly pinched his lover''s overly beautiful face. Seeing a re form on the younger''s face, Zhizhou simply took off his shoes and climbed into the bed - quickly taking off his outer robes to open up the quilt and take the other person into his embrace. "Sleep, I''ll guarding you."


    "You!" Yan Mingyong spoke in an anger, but stopped halfway - entangling himself in the other''s body in reflex. His face turned nk and gloomy, and his mouth gaped in shock - but he didn''t utter a single word.


    Ye Zizhou found the younger''s ridiculous actions cute, kissing Mingyong''s forehead then raising his hand to cover the other''s eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s sleep. It¡¯ste.¡±


    His eyes covered, Yan Mingyong¡¯s instincts tensed - only rxing gradually due to the warmth of the person beside him. He couldn¡¯t help but tightly cling on to the other''s body, burying his head in the other¡¯s neck. The young prince - in a show of weakness, albeit in an evil tone - said, ¡°This time, you took the initiative toe, then refused to leave. So, you can¡¯t leave me now.¡±


    "Yes, yes. I won''t leave." He patted his lover, sighing in his heart; in the end, just howcking was the amount of love the youth received in his childhood to develop this kind of personality. Furthermore, this terrible physical ailment¡­¡­ He poked the system and questioned it - then easing his heart, he held his lover and fell into a deep sleep.


    The rtionship between Yan Mingyong and Ye Zhizhou grew with time. Although Yan Mingyong was still quick to anger, Ye Zhizhou had also been quick to suppress it. As the rtionship between the two grew closer, the number of imperial physiciansing to Yongyan Pce gradually lessened, Yan Mingyong''s improved health shocking everyone. The Dragon Emperor Yan was very pleased, rewarding An Chengle and the Zhenguo Gongfu with a pile of treasures - as well as giving An Chengsheng the top score in the court examinations and continuously praising the Zhenguo Gong''s educated children in court.


    The Zhenguo Gong husband and wife duo felt relief at the turn of events. An Chengseng also gradually calmed his heart, but he was still afraid of the eighth prince''s words that day. From time to time, he would find an excuse to go to the pce to ''idently'' meet with his younger brother; he didn''t have any time to pay attention to An Chengjie.


    The two sons of the An Family were held in high esteem by the emperor, filling the Zhenguo Gongfu with delight. An Chengjie, who had yet to be targeted by An Chengle, finally had enough time to prepare for the opening of his restaurant. On the day, he finally reconciled with Lei Baofei, intending to take the other to taste the hot pot and wine he made as a way to redeem their friendship. Since the day the ''Treasure Pavillion'' was wrecked by An Chengle, the other person had begun to disassociate with him. Although Baofei didn''t refuse his requests for help with the shop, they were not as close as before. Chengjie vaguely felt that after he finished helping, Lei Baofei would draw a clear line between them. If this was the case, his situation in the Zhenguo Gongfu - which had yet to be established and stabilised - would be in serious danger.


    Opening a shop did not just need novel ideas and excellent merchandise - it also required a strongwork of contacts and a good backing. Lei Baofei''s father was the Great General, and Lei Baofei himself was also a promising young general. The reason the ''Treasure Pavilion'' could grow so quickly before was because it borrowed the other''s contacts. As this new restaurant was about to open, it was natural that he wanted the support of the other party. Additionally, he needed the other person''s protection to avoid people from Zenguo Gongfu finding out about his businesses too early.


    All sorts of ideas and ns swirled in his mind, and though it was not time for the restaurant''s grand opening, aplete n to reconcile Lei Baofei and develop his business had taken shape - awaiting its execution today.


    Lei Baofei had yet to arrive. The shopkeeper hanging up the shop sign in front at the entrance saw An Chengjie and hurriedly rushed over to greet him. "Boss, the ingredients and medicinal herbs you requested have been processed - the wine has also been prepared in the kitchen. Now, it is just the customers weck."


    An Chengjie was very satisfied with the shopkeeper that was hired by his broker. Smiling, he patted the other on the shoulder and praised his efforts. "I feel relieved at the way you handle things. Let''s go - first, take me to the kitchen."


    The shopkeeper¡¯s eyes shed as he leaned forward to lead the way.


    In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse across the street, Ye Zhizhou put down his teacup and smiled at the Yan Mingyong who was reading a book in front of him. Grinning, he said: "Mingyong, I''m going out to take care of a few things. I''ll be back soon, so just continue reading your book - I''ll take you with me to eat some delicious foodter!"


    Yan Mingyong stopped turning the page, looking up with a frown on his face. "Half an hour at the very most."


    After calcting the time needed for the restaurant to open, Zhizhou nodded his head in assent. "Ok, I¡¯ll be back in half an hour."


    After the other had left, Yan Mingyong put down his book and gently knocked his knuckles on the table. De An opened the door and quickly walked to the window, blowing into a whistle-like thing. Outside the teahouse, a hooded figure shed out from the shadows and chased Ye Zhizhou.


    _________________


    In one of the best areas on the South Street - a new restaurant, Chuan Yue, was opened; the signature dish being something called a hotpot. Several days before the opening, the shopkeeper held a free taste stall at the entrance of the restaurant. The stall itself was very simple; there was only a table, a stove, and a pot. A variety of processed ingredients were on the table, and on the stove was arge pot with two different soup bases. When the stove was lit, the soup bases began to boil - emitting an alluring scent that quickly spread out.


    <b><i>{Ed. Note: Quick rification ¨C Chuan Yue is not the protagonist''s restaurant; Xi Zi is. Chuan Yue is just another restaurant that has opened.}</i></b>


    In just three days, the Chuan Yue restaurant that had still yet to open gained fame in the South Street. The nearby residents were tempted by the smell of the hotpot every day, and they craved for it to the point that they were unable to eat or sleep; looking forward to the day that this restaurant would open.


    The Great General Lei''s residence was just around the corner of South Street, and also needed to endure the enticing fragrance of the hotpot. That day, Lei Baofei went out to meet An Chengjie - and when he walked through South Street, he was surprised to find that the Chuan Yue restaurant had opened in a quiet manner. They didn''t invite a lion dance group, nor did they beat the drums; they just hung up a red silk cloth and opened the shop.


    The people who heard the news rushed over to visit - lining up, they were weed in by a passionate waiter. Lei Baofei stopped momentarily in curiosity, and was quickly noticed by the waiter inside. "Honorable guest, our restaurant just opened today - and in celebration, the first 100 guests are free. Would you like toe in and have a taste?


    Remembering the appointment with An Chengjie, he shook his head in regret. "Maybe next time ¨C today, I have already made priormitments; though, thank you for the warm wee."


    Hearing this, the waiter also expressed his regret. He turned into the store and signalled another waiter to run out with a small basket in hand. Handing it over to Lei Baofei, he said: "A small gift for our guest. We look forward to your next visit." Then, the two waiters quickly walked back into the building - not giving Lei Baofei the chance to refuse.


    Lei Baofeiughed and shook his head - his good opinion of the store deepening. With this kind of event, his not-so-bright mood improved slightly. He reached into the bamboo basket and looked at its contents; inside was a small pot and a letter. Lifting up the pot''s lid, he could see red ointment-like pastes inside; and not understanding its usage, he closed the lid and took out the letter.


    He thought that the letter would contain words of blessings - but unexpectedly, it was actually a detailed recipe; specifying the procedure and ways to use ingredients to better the taste. At the end, it stated that the small pot was filled with the base ingredient to make a hotpot - allowing the guest to bring it back home with them to eat it with their family.


    Really¡­ he had never seen such a generous restaurant before.


    By the time he put away the letter, An Chengjie''s restaurant, Xi Zi, was in front. Remembering the frequent appointments that An Chenjie had organised between them, his rxed and happy expression disappeared - a frown in its ce.


    Although he was very grateful to the other for their efforts in rescuing him, their character and attitude was¡­¡­. he shook his head and pressed down on the negative emotions rising in his heart. He looked at the gorgeous gates of Xi Zi, and made a decision in his heart: After helping the other gain a foothold in the capital, he would sever their rtionship. Two people with differing and opposing principles - it really was impossible for them to work together.


    [The probability of Lei Baofei falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 50%. Please persist in your actions, host.]


    Not far behind Lei Baofei - Ye Zhizhou, who was buying candied fruit - looked sideways to the direction of Xi Zi Restaurant. He squinted his eyes and smiled. Even before the man had even entered the restaurant, his love probability had dropped by 20%. Lei Baofei, an honest man, could really surprise people, ah!


    _________________


    On the second floor of the teahouse, Yan Mingyong put down his book and looked at Lei Baofei, who was standing in front of the restaurant. Then, he took a look at Ye Zhizhou - who was staring at Lei Baofei from a distance. He clenched his fist and coughed, taking out a pill to swallow.


    Did Le Er like tall men like the Lei youth? He touched his own thin and weak legs, expression slightly distorted.


    No! He wouldn''t allow Le Er to like anyone other than himself!<hr>

    Lei Baofei left with a dark face; not touching any of the dishes, and leaving the wine spilt. Before his abrupt departure however, he strictly urged An Chengjie to conduct himself appropriately. An Chengjie was confused - not knowing why Lei Baofei had left like that when he all he had wanted to do was introduce a new dish, and chat about the restaurant''s future.


    The shopkeeper seemed to be scared by the guest''s sudden departure. He probed outside, cautiously asking some questions. "Boss, those dishes in the kitchen¡­ do you still need them?"


    Annoyance wasced in his voice as he spoke. "No need!" He frowned as he nced at the various ingredients on the table, depressed and puzzled. Lei Baofei¡¯s attitude today was really strange; and the sentence he said before he left didn''t make any sense. Were all ancient people this temperamental?


    He debated on whether he should try to talk to Lei Baofei again when a waiter suddenly rushed into the room; with him, was a familiar bamboo basket. "This isn''t good! There''s another hotpot restaurant that just opened on the South Street. They''re selling it at half the price we are, and they also openly share their recipe! This¡­ this is the hotpot they are selling today."


    An Chengjie''s face warped, and he snatched the basket away - quickly looking inside to take out the note. His hands gradually crumbled the paper - his brain feeling as if it was smashed by a hammer. Without thinking, he asked, "Where is that store? What''s its name? Who opened it?"


    "It''s in the middle of South Street, and it''s called Chuan Yue. But I don''t know who the owner is, and the person in charge today has unknown origins." The shopkeeper, after saying this, saw An Chengjie''s lost look and grew even more panicked. "Boss, what should we do?" The restaurant was about to open, but their signature dish was already taken by another; this certainly could not be good.


    Chuan Yue, Chuan Yue¡­¡­


    An Chengjie''s hand trembled - his heart sinking and hands faltering. There was a sense of excitement that ran through him at the notion that there was another transmigrator; yet, there was also fear. Fear that his advantage as a transmigrated person would be taken away. A hotpot restaurant called Chuan Yue¡­¡­ was this name just a coincidence, or a hint from the other party?


    [T/N: ´©Ô½ - Chuan Yue - means to transmigrate.]


    Ye Zhizhou returned to Zhenguo Gong Fu with Yan Mingyong, ready to eat some hotpot at home. While waiting for Chang Shun and Chang Fu to prepare the ingredients - he pushed Yan Mingyong to the dining room, and stuffed his book into his hands. "Mingyong, just wait here for a while. My big brother is at home today, so I''m going to call him over so he can taste the hotpot as well."


    Yan Mingyong''s smile on his face faltered, eyes sinking. "Do you like your brother?"


    Ye Zhizhou helplessly looked over at the gloomy kid - bending over to kiss the other''s face, and pat his hair. "Be obedient. After dinner, I''ll show you a new game that you haven''t yed before. For now, just read the book."


    Yan Mingyong couldn''t control the red on his cheeks - his ck eyes brightening up as quickly as they darkened. But, he refrained from showing his excitement on his face - speaking with a still expression. "I''ll listen to you this once, go."


    Ye Zhizhou chuckled at his lover''s serious face - leaning over to kiss the youth. His lover had turned into a young boy, and he got the chance to see him gradually grow up - this was really great!


    The hotpot was ready by the time Ye Zhizhou returned with An Chengsheng. Yan Mingyong put the book down, wheeling himself towards the door - and while ignoring An Chengsheng''s face of shock, he reached out to Ye Zhizhou. "Le Er, my chest hurts."


    Ye Zhizhou grew panicked, hurriedly walking over to rub the youth''s chest. Anxiously, he asked, "Where''s your pill? Didn''t I say that you had to take one every time you felt pain?" His lover''s body was too weak, but all the system-provided pills had too fast of a healing rate. Fearing that a sudden recovery would be too eye catching, he diluted it to make weaker pill for Mingyong to eat whenever he was feeling sick.


    "Without De An here, I forgot to take it." Yan Mingyong really enjoyed the concern and care shown by the older; and taking advantage of De An''s absence, he lied without batting an eyelid. Eyes shining, his lips were hooked up as he took a nce at An Chengsheng. "It''s only a bit painful, nothing really. Let''s eat first, don''t let big brother wait."


    At this tant provocation, An Chengsheng clenched his hand; seeing the eighth prince follow his little brother, and being called big brother as if they were close, made his heart sour and feel unwell. However, remembering the other''s status and power, he steadied his heart - cupping his hands and reluctantly replying to the prince''s greeting. "I apologise; I did not expect your highness'' presence here today - I''ve troubled you with my brother''s wilful temper."


    Yan Mingyong smiled - not showing that crazy expression he had worn in theirst encounter. With a refined and noble air, he said, "Le Er is very good to me - you must be happy to have such a good younger brother."


    An Chengsheng also put on a fake smile. "Your highness'' brothers are also very good."


    A crackling sound could be heard in the tense silence between the two people; an invisible bomb waiting to detonate at any second.


    Seeing them like this, Ye Zhizhou - who had just realised that he had been tricked - took back his hands and rolled his eyes. He walked towards the dining table and took a seat, fishing out a piece of meat from the hotpot using a pair of chopsticks. "Both of you can just talk slowly over there. I''m starving, so I won''t be able to apany you."


    Seeing Ye Zhizhou get angry, they hurriedly retracted their res and restrained their mood. Yan Mingyong quickly upied the seat beside Ye Zhizhou and pulled on his sleeve. "How do you eat this?"


    Ye Zhizhou squinted at him, sneering. It''s only now that you know how to behave yourself? Didn''t you just feign an illness a moment ago?


    An Chengsheng was one stepte, and he could only sit on the seat opposite of his brother. He picked up the chopsticks and smiled, "This food is quite interesting - Le Er always manages to find something new."


    "Right." Ye Zhizhou ignored the ttery - pulling down his sleeves to check the young prince''s temperature. Seeing that he was not too cold, he got up to pick up the hotpot. "I stumbled upon a collection of ancient poetry, and I wanted to give it to big brother; but, it seems that it is not necessary now."


    Poetry collection? And an ancient one at that? An Chengsheng, who was madly in love with poetry, immediately caught on to this crucial part in his little brother''s words. He immediately put down his chopsticks. "Le Er, it was big brother''s mistake. So, please lend that poetry collection to big brother."


    This kind of small bait, I knew you''d take it. Ye Zhizhou smirked andughed inside his head, all the while maintaining a cool facade. He got up and walked towards the cloth bag, taking out the mixed version of ¡¶Three Hundred Tang Poems¡· and ¡¶Best Lyrics of Song Dynasty¡· - stuffing them into An Chengsheng''s arms. "The book is old to the point that it''s no longer suitable for reading. Since I already made a copy of it, you can take it."


    An Chengsheng held the book as if it was a precious treasure. He didn''t care about the dog-scrawl writing in it, and immediately stopped eating to read the book.


    [The probability of An Chengsheng falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 50%. Please persist in your actions, host.]


    As the system notification appeared, Ye Zhizhou thanked the heavens in his heart: An Chengsheng''s feelings towards An Chengjie was more like that of a fan''s obsession towards their idol. Now that An Chengjie''s ''talent'' was gone, the love probability had decreased all by itself.


    If they wanted to start ''something'' between them, it would be very difficult!


    Yan Mingyong silently put down his chopsticks, and merely stared at Ye Zhizhou.


    When Ye Zhihou looked back at him, he knew that the kid would be moody again. "It''s a collection of poetry. What, do you also want a copy? Or do you want another gift? Well, whatever it is that you want, I''ll give it to you. So, quickly eat; your body is still ill."


    "You''ll truly give me anything I want?" Yang Mingyong picked up his chopsticks, carefully asking.


    Ye Zhizhou, whose attention had been distracted by the system notification, carelessly nodded. Yan Mingyong looked deeply at the older boy, then smiled: the only thing that he wanted was this person.


    ___________________


    In the middle of the night, Yan Mingyong woke up in Ye Zhizhou¡¯s arms - staring at him for a while before getting up. Taking a bead from the bedside table, he crushed it under the older''s nose - ensuring that he would not wake for quite some time. The eighth prince pulled on a string that hung next to the bed; and after a while, De An gently walked in, standing silently in front.


    "Have you captured that person yet?"


    De An stepped forward to help him dress, whispering back whilst his hands were moving. "Captured. He has already been finished in the secret prison."


    Yan Mingyong gripped his hands, showing a slightly gloomy smile. ¡°Very good. The pce really is too dirty - and I for one, think it''s time to clean it up.¡± He looked at the peacefully sleeping Ye Zhihzou, pulling up the quilt to cover the other''s exposed shoulders. A sh of light shed through his eyes as he continued speaking. "I must let Le Er live afortable life."


    ___________________


    An Chengjie had not left his room ever since the copse of his restaurant. Seeing that the young master of the Lei Family had nevere to visit their boss again, as well as theck of the usual generous bonuses - the servants gradually grew to ignore him. Though angry, he couldn''t do anything about it.


    For the past few days, he had been hiding in his room - examining the dish in the small basket. He had hesitated; all kinds of possibilities were lined up all over the ce - but he couldn''t make up his mind as to who was the possible transmigrator. Nowadays, he had adapted to this ancient society, and had made a general n for his future. The sudden appearance of another party made him bitter and full of loathing, his instincts going haywire.


    Xiao Si Da Zhu saw the boss being absent minded for several days, and thinking that it was due to the failed business, he suggested a form of entertainment. "Three dayster, there is going to be a literary meeting held by the Yingtian Academy under Yuan Si Mountain just outside the city. How about Gong Zi attends to relive yourself of the boredom? I have heard that the great imperial schr will also be present - and with Gong Zi''s literary talent, you''ll be able to gain great achievements for sure!"


    [Ed. Note: First reminder, Gong Zi is just an informal title for a noble''s son.]


    To face the great schr? An Chengjie''s heart was slightly moved, his troubled mind calming down. The more he thought about it, the more he knew it was a good idea; it was useless to just randomly guess things while shutting himself in like this. Since making money didn''t work, how about making a name for himself? Recalling the disdain he felt for those from the Zhenguo Gongfu, and the disappointment that was shown on Lei Baofei''s face, his heart suddenly rose in excitement.


    [Ed. Note: Second reminder, Zhenguo Gongfu is the town government.]


    What bastard child?! He would definitely be better than those official sons! It didn''t matter if Lei Baofei wasn''t backing him anymore; with the advanced knowledge he had from the future in his mind, those nobles would soon line up to bow down at his feet!


    His expression gradually grew firm, his stare on the small basket on the table darkening as time went past.


    This Chuan Yue restaurant had better just be a coincidence; if not¡­¡­ well, this world only needed one transmigrated person.<hr>

    <em>[beware of misspelled, grammar mistake, and other thing that may cause inconvenient while reading]</em><hr>


    Ye Zhizhou discovered that Yan Mingyong always sleepy these days. He often fell asleep with just a few pages of books after lunch. When his lover once fell asleep on a small couch, he finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and called the physician. Even after a long time, the physician still could not find anything wrong with him, but the emperor who was visiting his son was very scared.


    "Is he really okay?"


    "Answering the Emperor, His Highness is in no harm, his health is also improving. Maybe he could apany Your Majesty in <strong>the ceremony*</strong> this year." He said in delight. In the past, every time the Eight Prince is sick, the imperial physician courtyard would suffer various scolding. Now that the prince''s body became healthier, the Emperor was in a good mood. Not only he didn''t scold them, he also sent them various reward asionally.


    <strong><em>(*to offer sacrifices to gods or ancestors)</em></strong>


    "Hmm, not bad. Reward!" The emperor really pleased hearing this. He looked at the physician''s old face then toward the young and handsome face beside him. He thought for a while and asked, "With Yong Er''s current condition, could he attend the Autumn Hunting in the next two months?"


    The physician considered this and answered, "If you made sure he won''t exhaust himself, then he could go."


    "Very good!" The Emperorughed heartily. Just like all the ordinary father in the world, he was very delighted seeing this slight improvement of his sickly son.


    Ye Zhizhou could only sighed seeing the Emperor like this. Even if he has many sons, but they are not <strong>just simply his son*</strong>, only Yan Mingyong is. His birth mother''s status is low and has no rtives, his age also a lot younger than the Emperor. He does not pose a threat to the throne. He''s the only one - that could make the emperor to rest assured while showing fatherly love. Besides, Yan Mingyong had indirectly saved his life¡­¡­ A misfortune concealed as blessing; a blessing concealed as misfortune. Yan Mingyong''s sickness is also his own protection. When his body bes better in the future, it''s uncertain whether the Emperor will care about his son as he is now.


    <strong><em>(*They also the son from their mothers'' side, usually will involve in politic to obtain the throne or to get their people a position in court.) </em></strong>


    The imperial physician couldn''t find the reason why Yan Mingyon is always sleepy. <strong>Tong Tian*</strong> also couldn''t detect any problems. Although Ye Zhizhou is worried, but he couldn''t do anything. He could only convince himself that this is a normal condition for a child in puberty.


    <strong><em>(*the system''s name)</em></strong>


    Yan Mingyong saw his worries and knew that he secretly invited the physician to check on him, but in order to enjoy the pleasure of being cared for and valued, he pretended to know nothing and continued to "sleep".


    Three dayster, the original plot said that An Cheng Jie will participate in the literary meeting held by Yingtian Academy. The academy''s great schr, Liu Qingfeng, will take notice of him and ept him as his disciple, then he''ll officially embarks on the journey of conquering literature''s world. When Ye Zhizhou opened Chuan Yue restaurant, he remembered about this plot. Originally he wanted to take Yan Mingyong with him to join the fun, but seeing that he became sleepy like this, he was so worried that he couldn''t dare to take him out, so he dismissed the idea.


    Therefore, the awake Yan Mingyong found that Ye Zhizhou had left the book and already left. The afternoon warm sunlight filled the room, dimming the edge of the pillow, which also blurred the instant gloomy expression on his face.


    ________________________


    Spring turned into summer, thest batch of peach blossom bloomed under Yuansi Temple. Ye Zhizhou was nestled under a peach tree. He listened to the student reciting their poems while biting melon seeds and swaying a long grass leisurely.


    An Chengsheng got out from the small circle and found his brother in the corner. He couldn''t help but sighed, "Le Er, you''re already 16 years old. Don''t you want to set your heart to study and attend the academy?"


    Since he gave him the poetry collection, An Chensheng''s attitude toward him is getting better and better, and he became more and more tolerant. Ye Zhizhou is very satisfied with this. Listened to him, he shamelessly said, "I don''t want to study ah. I''m not a suit for studying. I''m going to make big fortune! Mother gave me a dowry shop a while ago. I changed it into a restaurant and made a lot of money." A schr and a businessman is far inparison. Many aristocrat family''s children who don''t have the talent for studying will eventually choose to be a businessman through their family connection. It''s a good way out, but it''s not as noble as bing a schr or an official.


    An Chengsheng couldn''t bear to let his silly brother went through the up and down of merchant''s life, he continued to persuade, "You don''t have to study that well, you just need to pass the pce exam and graduate, and then you could be an idle small official in the Imperial Academy. Father and I could also protect you."


    A pce entrance exam? As for the original host, he also won''t take that test! Ye Zhizhou spit in his heart, but on the surface show a stupid willful look, "But bing an official is terrifying. Big brother, you know my brain is not good enough. With business, if ite to worst, I''ll only lose money. But bing an official, if I''m not careful, I could directly lose my life. Anyway, I don''t want to study or bing an official."


    He insisted on keeping the original host <em>no-brain</em> setting. He continued to bait on him, "And if I made a lot of money, I could find more ssic poetry for Big brother. It seems thest book I gave you have a series. I want to collect them all for Big brother."


    There''s a pile of poetry book on his space, courtesy of Ouyang Zhi''s charity buying. It''s probably enough to make more than a dozen copy of "Ancient poetry collection". It''s enough to win over An Chengsheng.


    An Chengsheng was really excited and didn¡¯t persuade him anymore. He eagerly asked, ¡°Is it really has series? How many other books can you have?¡±


    "I couldn''t tell yet." He nced at his cheap brother who was about to take a green light and pointed toward the entrance, then said, "I saw Brother Chengjie just now. Big brother, did you invited him?"


    This event is based on invitation. As the branch''s champion, An Chengsheng invitation will have a big influenced, and now An Chengjie''s invitation is a normal one. In the original plot, An Chengjie rely on An Chengsheng''s victory to send his own poetry.


    Unexpectedly, An Chengsheng frowned after hearing this and gave negative answer, "I didn''t invite him. The second brother must have got it from another ce." Before this, he admired this younger brother and thought that he''s also a person who loves poetry. But seeing him always run around outside every day, without any sign or intention to read, the appreciation gradually faded. However, he still felt a bit pity for the other''s talent and cleverness¡­¡­


    "Is that so¡­¡­" Ye Zhizhou put away the melon seed into a cloth bag and ready to throw it away. He got up and clean the dust on his clothes, then said, "Brother Chengjie is smarter than me. He surely came with amazing lines, let''s go cheer him on." He took An Chengsheng''s arm and drag him over, unwilling to miss a good show.


    An Chengsheng was lost in thought. He almost couldn''t stand while being dragged over by the youth. After regaining hisposure, he rubbed the youth''s head while holding hisugh, "Before, whenever you see the second brother, you always act like an angry hedgehog. And now you could give him this treatment. What father said is right, our family Le Er has really grown up."


    Yeah, yeah, grew up, he also had changed his core and grow for hundreds of years, he silently thought. He walked forward and looked for Liu Qingfeng in the crowd, wondering how to let the other party listen to An Chengjie¡¯s ¡°masterpiece¡±.


    The meeting has begun not long ago. Most students just gathered to chat with each other. Most people around An Chengjie are people who love poetry. Originally, there are some students who stand not far away, but they suddenly left when he came.


    Ye Zhizhou finally found the short figure of Liu Qinfeng. He deliberately red at An Chengsheng and stood in a ce where the other party could hear him. He said loudly, "Big Brother, why those people move away when they see Second Brother? Do they hate second Brother?"


    "It''s not like that¡­¡­ umm, they just have different circle." An Chengseng was troubled by this question and just gave a rather vague answer. Most of the dislike came from students who took part in the imperial examination, and the reason is because An Chengjie would only sell poems for "side job business". However, An Chengsheng didn''t want his little brother to know about this mutual exclusion in literary circle, it was a bit shameful.


    He (ACS) wanted to be vague about this matter, but as if Ye Zhizhou would follow his intention. Just like he suddenly realized about something, Ye Zhizhou eximed, "I know, they are the students of this year''s examination, right? I heard people said that they seem to particrly hate Second Brother for <em>not showing initiative</em>. But I don''t understand, Second Brother''s poems are so good. Even if he''s not studying hard, not taking the imperial examination, or not bing a member of officials, he already produced some poems. Didn''t we all should respect him?"


    "Nonsense!"


    An old voice suddenly sounded not far behind them. Ye Zhizhou turned around with amazement and frowned. "This old gentleman, how can you overhear our conversation, a gentleman should not do this."


    An Chengsheng guessed his identity after hearing his voice. He hurriedly pulled the Ye Zhizhou''s sleeve to signal him not to talk back. He respected the old man and gave a sigh of relief. "Liu Daren, please forgive me. My younger brother is insolent. This student will discipline him when we return."


    Liu Qingfeng was very satisfied with An Chengsheng. His face was slightly rxed. He said to Ye Zhizhou, "A gaudy knowledge can only obtain the world''s brief approval. Literary is a lifetime matter, <em>not seeking for the country</em>. Diligence itself is essential. You must not be so frivolous in the future."


    Ye Zhizhou was busy bowing his head and pretending to be shy. He took out another copy of the poetry book from his bosom and hand it over, "Thank you so much for this gentleman''s advice. This is a little thank-you. Please ept it."


    Liu Qingfeng was a book lover, and when he saw him handing a book over, his conditional reflex was to pick up and turn the page over. Only then did he realize that something was wrong and couldn''t help but feel a bit confuse.


    "It''s a collection of ancient poems written by my younger brother. Please ept it, Sir." An Chengsheng quickly exined.


    Liu Qingfeng then rxed and continued to read the book. "Ah, so it turned out to be a copy made by the younger brother. The handwriting¡­¡­ cough, of course the most important thing is the content. This poem¡­¡­ hm?!"


    An Chengsheng smiled and Ye Zhizhou was satisfied. Then suddenly, a loud noisee from An Chengjie direction. A student excitedly said, "Brother Cheng Jie''s literary talent is so good. This poem that praises peach blossoms can only be described as an extraordinary level!


    <em>For whom the Heaven''s Will would stay, walking through the deep dyed peach blossom,</em>


    <em>I am not yet drunk, I''ll remember when I woke up, </em>


    <em>The passion dropped and the worry attacked.</em>


    <em>Foolish moth¡­¡­"</em>


    <em>"Foolish moth flutter toward the me, making a crackling light as the fire reject,</em>


    <em>Within the snowy white peach blossom, making the color of springsted long."</em>


    <strong><em>(T/N : Sorry, I couldn''t find the real trantion. It''s manual. The poem is ''Peach Blossom'' [</em></strong><strong><em>¾pÌÒ»¨</em></strong><strong><em> ] by Li Xianyong )</em></strong>


    Liu Qingfeng uttered the next sentence, then he closed the book in his hands. He looked toward the students who just spoke earlier, and asked, "Who did you say writing this poem?"


    That student looked at Liu Qingfeng who walked slowly toward him and stuttered, "It''s Cheng, Brother Cheng Jie¡­¡­ How could you know the next sentences Teacher Liu, obviously this poem is just¡­¡­"


    Liu Qingfeng heard this and looked at An Cheng Jie, his face was ashen, "Obviously because it''s written in the book of ''best collection of ssic poems''. Besides, since when did it be this youngster''s work? Let us make this clear up today!"


    An Chengjie was shocked by the old man''s severe insult eyes and he quickly panicked.<hr>

 Chapter 35

    Trantor : <hr>


    <em>*unedited* </em>


    <em>[beware of misspelled, grammar mistake, and other thing that may cause inconvenient while reading]</em><hr>


    The students moved towards them noisily, while those who were previously stand beside An Chengjie moved away from him.


    An Chengjie stood alone at the center of the crowd. He tried to suppress his panic and calmly said, "Teacher Liu, I do not understand what you mean."


    "You don''t understand?" Liu Qingfeng saw that he refused to admit his mistakes, which made him more incensed. His face was ashen as he turned the book in his hand to the first page and showed it directly to the youth. "Look at this thing that you''ve giarized, you truly make all schrs lose face!"


    [The probability of An Chengsheng falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 30%. Please persist in your actions, host.]


    After receiving the system''s notification, Ye Zhizhou nced at An Chengsheng who had the same ashen look. He quickly decided to add oil to the fire. "Big brother, how did the poem written by second brother turned out the same as the one in my book? Did second brother really giarize? He obviously did not have to, his poems have been well done before, so he does not need to giarize at his level¡­."


    An Chengsheng''s face seemed to have changed as he thought of a possibility. He asked, "Le Er, where did you get this book? Is this collection really a series?"


    "Why is Big Brother suddenly thinking about this?" He pretended to be ignorant and confused, and replied, "I bought this collection of poems from an old beggar in South Street. He said that his ancestors from the previous dynasty secretly saved these pieces from the huge literary inquisition. They have been hidden for hundreds of years, which is why they were a collection. The poems were divided into four chapters: spring, summer, autumn, and winter."


    Various thoughts shed over An Chengsheng''s mind. As he recalled more of the amazing poems recited by An Chengjie, his doubts rose higher. He did not think of this before, but now that he was thinking about it, An Chengjie''s style kept on changing. It was like his poems were made by different people¡­. Is it a coincidence that An Chengjie recited poems from the other chapters of the collection? Probably, when he found out that nobody knew of the collection, he wanted to take advantage of this and giarize¡­. When he thought of this, he gritted is teeth and walked beside Liu Qingfeng. He joined the people who were questioning An Chengjie.


    [The probability of An Chengsheng falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 15%. Please persist in your actions, host.]


    A huge schr battle against a giarizing dog started. The potential fan was so furious as he moved to join the circle and wage war. Ye Zhizhou felt pleased as he closed the notifications from the system. He then returned to his corner and cracked melon seeds open. He did not need to worry about An Chengsheng for the time being, while Lei Baofei''s probability of falling in love with the protagonist has also dropped below the safety line. Now, only the seventh prince was left¡­¡­ If he remembered correctly, the note he sentst time was still not seen by the seventh prince¡­¡­


    The event could be said to have a bustling start, but it definitely would not end well.


    An Chengjie waspletely vulnerable in front of schr Liu Qingfeng. After probing out and testing the limits of their decorum, An Chengjie was overwhelmed by pressure and fled. Due to this incident, the students did not have any interest on exchanging knowledge. After talking about this giarism problem, they all left.


    An Chengsheng rushed back to the Zhen Guo Gongfu. He found out that An Chengjie did not return home, so he went to the study room and talked to his father. This time, what An Chengjie did was really unsightly. If it was not handled well then the reputation that Zhen Guo Gongfu umted over the years would all be gone!


    Ye Zhizhou, who was prepared to go and add fuel to the fire, was stopped by <strong>Zijin Guard</strong> who suddenly appeared at the gate. He was forced to suddenly return to the pce. Ye Zhizhou was sitting in the carriage with a bag of melon seeds, thinking deeply. His bad-tempered lover is going crazy, what should he do to coax him¡­..


    <strong><em>(He''s the Eighth Prince''s Secret Guard)</em></strong>


    When he returned to Yong Yan Pce, people already had to holdmps to light up the ce. Yan Mingyong was sitting alone at a table filled with food, slowly flipping through a book.


    Upon seeing this, Ye Zhizhou paused for a while then tried going inside nonchntly. With a big smile on his face, "Mingyong, I am back! What''s for dinner? It smells good."


    "Le Er." Yan Mingyong closed his book, looked up at him with an expressionless face, and reached out. "My chest feels a bit heavy."


    Hey, he actually didn''t make trouble. He even took the initiative to reach out. It seems that his lover finally matured a little. Ye Zhizhou stepped forward, held his hand and supported his chest. "Maybe it is because you slept too long? I will take you to the garden tomorrow, you''re not allowed to sleep for the whole afternoon."


    Yan Mingyong leaned on him and slightly encircled his hands on Ye Zhizhou''s neck and nodded, "En. I will listen to you."


    Ye Zhizhou blinked and then smiled. He thought that such a well-behaved lover was very cute. He could not resist bowing his head and kissing his face, "I did a lot of fun things today, I am going to tell you about them after dinner!"


    Yan Mingyong''s eyes shed, his hands which were ced around Ye Zhizhou''s neck moved slightly, revealing a fine needle in his fingertips. He gently pricked him and smiled afterwards, "I just happened to have some fun things to tell you too."


    Ye Zhizhou felt a seemingly familiar sensation at the back of his neck, his brain shutting down. His body got soft, involuntarily falling. Ye Zhizhou fought to hang onto consciousness to face his lover. He wanted to roll his eyes, but did not have the strength to do so. He was dumbfounded, "Mingyong, you don''t have to do this¡­" His consciousness gradually left him as he finally closed his eyes.


    Yan Mingyong looked at the person who turned silent after falling asleep in his arms. He bowed his head rubbed his cheek. Feeling satisfied, he held onto Ye Zhizhou tightly and sighed. "Le Er, you''re not allowed to run away."


    An Chengjie hid in Guiyuan Temple for two days. He finally had the so-called ancient poetry collection that supposedly came from a foreign traveler. After reading it, his heart sank. First of all, that Chuanyue restaurant popped up from nowhere, and now this ¡¶Best of the Tang and Song Poems¡·. There is another transmigrator, and he is very unfriendly. Secretly sneaking behind his back! In anger, he threw the book away. He sat in the room with a sullen face. After a while, he made up his mind to find a pen and paper to write to Lei Baofei.


    On the third day at midnight, he sneaked back into the Zheng Guo Gong Fu.


    <strong>Da Zhu</strong> was waiting for him at the side door. When he saw him, he hurriedly went to him and said anxiously, "Gongzi, what do we do now? Everyone outside is scolding you. The Master also said that he would drive you out and make you return to Zhuangzi. Even the Madam is very angry. The other concubines are also asking to get rid of you. Eldest Young Master even more¡­"


    <strong><em>(An Chengjie''s servant/caretaker)</em></strong>


    "Okay, shut up!" An Chengjie interrupted him impatiently. He took the cloak in his hand and wrapped it around himself. He carefully avoided the patrolling guards and quickly walked towards his yard. He asked as he walked, "Did you send the letter to Lei-gongzi?"


    "I already sent it." Da Zhu saw that he was in a bad mood, so he stopped talking. He whispered, "This afternoon, Lei-gongzi said that things have been prepared for Gongzi, and he also said¡­"


    When he heard that everything is prepared, An Chengjie''s mood got better, so he asked: "What did he say? Stop mumbling. Don''t worry, didn''t youe with me from Zhuangzi to the capital? I won''t leave you so you don''t need to hesitate."


    When Da Zhu saw him like this, he gritted his teeth and said: "The people that Lei-gongzi sent said that this would be thest time. The kindness has been returned, so he hoped that Gongzi would not bother him anymore. He also said that in addition to the things that you requested, he added some silver for Gongzi to live in the future. He hoped that Gongzi would be self-sufficient in the future, be able to wash his heart and renew his face, and conduct himself with integrity."


    <em>(wash his heart and renew his face - turn over a new leaf)</em>


    An Chengjie''s footsteps stopped abruptly. After a few deep breaths, he pressed down his anger, flinged his sleeves and continued to walk forward. Kindness has been returned? Don''t bother him anymore? Pei! What an ungrateful bastard! This ancient man sure enough was a bad man!


    He packed up his valuables and banknotes in the dark room, and then walked out of the yard that he stayed in for a few months with Da Zhu. An Chengjie suddenly let out a coldugh and created a fire with his ounts book. Since he decided to destroy the traces of his past, naturally, the ce he lived in must also be ruined!


    Da Zhu watched as his expression be sullener under the faint light of the fire. He could not help but shiver. Is the current gongzi still the same gongzi he was taking care of when he was a child? He always felt that ever since the gongzi fell in theke, gongzi''s temper has been more extreme¡­


    Zhen Guo Gong Fu suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. Several yards were burned. They heard that shameless bastard who giarized verses got burnt to death. As soon as the news spread, there seemed to be people pping their hands, making conspiracy theories, and even angry sighs, but no one was sad. Those who once pursued An Chengjie turned against him and were calling him a liar. It was even more shameful for those who were once friends of An Chengjie. They did not even want to mention or hear the name An Chengjie.


    Ye Zhizhou listened to Dean talking about the news with no emotion. He only felt a headache. ¡°Well, I know that he is very miserable now. You don¡¯t have toe to report every day. How about your master?¡± ¡°He has been in thisfortable and exquisite hot springs for three or four days. Whenever he wants to eat, wants to sleep, or anything else, someone send it to him immediately. He just couldn''t get out or leave. He also hasn''t see Yan Mingyong yet, only could see De An who is now standing in front of him.


    "Something is dying His Highness, but he wille back soon."


    This answer again! I can hear cocoons in my ears! Also that little brat (bear child) actually assigned secret guards to encircle the vi so that it waspletely sealed. He could run away, but who knew what that little brat would do after he ran! He really could not understand. His lover from the two previous worlds were so stable and mature, yet what happened in this life? Was it a gic mutation from his reincarnation? Hold on¡­ Is it possible that his lover not having the same personality/soul when he reincarnates¡­¡­?


    [ The person rted to the task was scanned, and is verified to have no abnormalities. Asking host to set his mind to rest.]


    He looked at the notification in front of him, and spoke in his mind, "So the reason why we meet every time is because of his unusual ability to reincarnate?" He already doubted at an earlier time. It is impossible to have so much coincidences that he would alwayse across his lover at the mission world. Furthermore, his lover was even a person rted to his task. How suspicious!


    Another notification popped up, [ The Heavenly Law cannot be vited. <strong>Directed reincarnation</strong> is harmful to the soul; it is not rmended.]


    <strong><em>(A reincarnation where someone choose where he wants to reincarnate himself, i think)</em></strong>


    He stopped ridiculing in his heart, and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean by directed reincarnation? So you can do this kind of thing?"


    [ The host does not have enough authorization. The system is unable to answer.]


    "¡­Hey!"


    [ Asking the host to do his mission.]


    "¡­¡­" Why would you suddenly stop in the middle of your exnation!


    He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. This lover of his cane and follow him! However, the price of that was that he would get weaker and weaker? His soul force would also get worse¡­ If the spiritual strength of his lover was weakening due to this directed reincarnation, then his soul force would soon disappear¡­ He suddenly thought of something, and so he asked excitedly, "Tong Tian, is soul force considered a part of the soul?"


    The system was quiet for a long time before eventually answering, [ Soul force can strengthen the soul.]


    "Then tell me, is Mingyong''s soul has worn out?"


    [No abnormalities.]


    He sighed and squatted in the chair. Fortunately, the soul of his lover was still intact. Holding on to hisst hope, he continued to ask: "Could we change the directed reincarnation to use soul force instead rather than directly damaging the soul?"


    The system paused for a while, like it was searching for data. Two minutester, a new sentence popped up in the screen. [It could happen, but the other party needs to have special privileges.]


    "What is the special privilege required?"


    [ The host does not have enough authorization. The system is unable to answer. ]


    ¡­.urk!<hr>

 Chapter 36

    Two more days passed. In these two days, the system popped outthree notices in total. The first was when theZhen Guo<em><span> house</em> dered that An Chengjie hasn''t died but merely missing, the system notified me that An Chengsheng and Protagonist''s love probability had fallen to5%. The second time, when news spread that An Chengjie wasthe Treasure Pavilion''s boss behind the scenes and An Chengsheng and Protagonist''s love probability became zero, pulling outthe first soul g. The third time, when the newsthat An Chengjie escaped tothe northwest spread and Lei Baofei and Protagonist''s love probability had fallen to10%.


    YeZhizhou jabbed atthe light screen and flipped over the data in <em><span>boredom</em>. He wasthinking why hadn''t Yan Mingyonge whilealso fretting abouttheck of movements onthe seventh prince''s side. On the slip of paper hegave tohim were names of the seventh prince''s secret aides; hehad mentioned that hehad something good topresenttohim and included a vague device schemeas well as clues pointing tohim. It made no sense thatthere was no response up until now. Could it be the seventh prince couldn''t understand the scheme? But didn''tthe protagonist piqued seventh prince''s interest using a device scheme like that in the original plot?


    There were basically no possible way of An Chengjie tomeet seventh prince now so normally, the love probability should also drop, butthe reality isthat damned love probability didn''t budge one bit ¡ª firmly staying at 100%. This ispletely irrational! Wasthere still a possibility of seventh prince meeting An Chengjie? If there is one, that''ll be the Autumn Hunt more than a month away¡­..


    He took a nce of the weather outside while histhoughts were racing. Isn''tthis so-called ''autumnhunt'' of Great Yan abit <em><span>deceiving</em>? It hadn''t even been days since they entered summer. One month after this is when the weather starttoheat up, right? How is it Autumn Hunt? Shouldn''t it be ''summer hunt''¡­..?


    The day was spent with his mind running wild. While leaning onthe railings of a winding corridor, his eyes were set onthe country house''s gateand sighing. Just what isthat brat doing? When doeshe n ongetting me? He felt unsettled now thatthe protagonist went missing.


    Because his mind was gued by thishis sleep at night was not very deep. In thishalf-awake state hefelt a pressure onhis body. He wriggled onreflex and woke up whenhe couldn''t break free. This feeling of something wrapping around his body was familiar and also aggravating. He relied onhis instinctstoflip over the body onthe bed so that he''s ontop of him, and whenhe could see the small beautiful face hejeered, "<em><span>Oh?</em> His Highness Eighth Prince finally thought of his subject? Aren''t all royalties terribly busy?"


    Yan Mingyong raised hishand tocaresshis face, the face that washidden in the shadows was unclear toYeZhizhou. His voice cracked alittle, unlike his smooth and pleasanttothe ear voice in the past. "You''reangry? Don''t be, I got you a present."


    He quickly noticed something abit wrong with his lover and opened the bed curtain abit. He looked at his face in the moonlight and felt his body top tobottom, frowning in the end, "What happened toyou? Something''s wrong." Though his body didn''t seem tohavea problem heseemed too calm and collected, unlike his bratty behaviour before, even resembled him of the previoustwo worlds. <span>t h i s i s a n i n c o m p l e t e v e r s i o n read on p a d a m t l , w o r d p r e s s, c o m


    "I''m only¡­.. abittired." Yan Mingyong stiffened under histouch. With reddening earshe pulled down the curtain then wrapped up around YeZhizhuo again and changed the topic, "Le''er, I ateall my medicine. Recently my chest would hurt again."


    And his attention really was diverted ¡ª Heangrily rubbed him up and down and then pinched his face. "You brat! Didn''t I give De''an your medicine? He didn''t give them toyou?"


    Yan Mingyong didn''ttalk anymore, helowered hishead and rubbed against his neck just likealittle puppy sticking toa person.


    This was like the personhimself changed; not only washe not bratty, he''s also being cuteand <em><span>lovable</em>! YeZhizhou was caught between feeling angry and not angry, while holding him, hepatted onhis back and also pinched his face. He wanted tosay something else but hefound the other boy had already asleep inhis embrace.


    <em><span>How vexing¡­¡­</em> He stewed for a while butthen took the person beside him inhistight embrace. Now that aload wastaken off his chest, hepoked the system inhis mind. "Tongtian, give him a scan again. There''s really no problem with the soul?"


    Half a minuteter the screen popped out: [Data of the soul shows no anomaly.]


    He let out along sigh. He hesitated abit before helowered hishead tothe one sticking close tohim and divided a tiny fraction of his spiritual force intoYan Mingyong''s brain. He explored inside but didn''t venture deep, only exploring lightly around the outeryer. There was no trace of spiritual force like heexpected. He felt hishearttighten ashe withdrew, it really saddened him tolook atthis small pallid face.


    What should hedo? This world''s mission will soon bepleted, if his lover wantstofollow him tothe next world¡­¡­.


    The next day hewas listless whenhe got up from bed and stared nkly atthe<em><span> borate</em> meal onthe table.


    Yan Mingyong frowned, reached outtohold hishand and leaned in, "No appetite? Or do you not like eating these?"


    Seeing thatthe other boy''s gaze was full of concernshe put down the urge tosigh and gripped hishand back, hesitating asheasked back, "Mingyong, hypothetically.. If we havea next life, you¡­"


    "You are mine." Not waiting for him tofinish talking Yan Mingyong interrupted. His grip tightened, the calm and well-behaved mask onhis face quickly broke, histone both stubborn and frantic, "Don''tthink you can escape in the next life, you can only be mine!"


    ¡­¡­.So that brattiness is still here. The well-behaved attitude yesterday was only an illusion!


    YeZhizhou red at him, not knowing whattodo, ashe vexed over how tohandle this ''brattiness'' of his lover his vision unthinkingly swept over the qin rack atthe corner of the room. His eyes brightened and heexcitedly said, "Mingyong, why don''t I y you a tune!"


    Yan Mingyong, who was dishing out a<em><span> y</em> of ''binding shackles pursuit'', speedily put away his fierce expression. Recalling the content of several folktaleshe hurriedly assumed an obedient appearance his face was full of anticipation ashe nodded, "Okay, but you need toeat first."


    YeZhizhou gulfed downhis meal and then pushed Yan Mingyong tothe small garden, setting him down insidea pavilion. He lightly shook his sleevestocover up taking outthe harmonica (bought inhis previous life torelieve boredom) from his spaceand shook it. "I told De''an tomovea small couch here, you should read for now, if you get sleepyter you can rest directly."


    Though Yan Mingyong was very curious of the thing inhishands, hepressed downhis question whenhe saw his eagerness and picked up abook ashe wastold todo. In any case, Le''er is free todo anything as long ashe is by his side.


    Over the course of two lifetimes YeZhizhou''s<em><span> harmonica </em>skill went from<em><span> dreadful</em> tobarely passable. When the first note sounded Yan Mingyong hand paused in the middle of flipping a page. He nced at him with a stiff expression before quickly dipping hishead back and continued with flipping the pages. He knew that Le''er''s<em><span> gentlemanly six arts</em> are not up topar but heonly faintly grasped it now¡­.. It''s nothing,ter hewould teach him slowly.


    The music started rockily butthen became smoother as it picked up. YeZhizhou sat againstthe pavilion''s railing, carefully releasing his spiritual force totwine with the tune that carried ittoYan Mingyong.


    Yan Mingyong feltthe more you listen the more you will be drawn in by this odd song. His nerves unconsciously rxed and the hand flipping pages slowed down,<em><span> a quarter of anhour</em>ter hewas fell asleep onhis wheelchair. De''an who was guarding outside the pavilion quietly walked in and summoned theZijin guards who put down the small couch, hearranged the nket, pillow and such then retreated back out of the pavilion and continued tokeep watch outside.


    The sound of music paused and stopped. YeZhizhou put downhisharmonica and carried Yan Mingyong tothe couch. He stroked hishair, covered him with the nketthen leaned back onthe railings and continued ying. In order toprevent his lover exhausting his soul tofollow him tothe next world, starting from today hewill do his besttohelp gather and nourish his lover''s spiritual force.


    The sweet gentle mood between the two led YeZhizhou tothink ¡ª since Yan Mingyong is feeling well they must beable toreturn tothe capital soon ¡ª butthen reality smacked him in the face!


    "You wanttostay<em><span> here</em>? Until theautumnhunt arrives?"


    "Mm." Yan Mingyong slowly turned over a page, hishead didn''t lift, "I had sought my imperial father''s consent beforehand."


    "DukeZhen Guo knows where weareand can visit whenhe misses you."


    <span>upd ate s  o n  pad amtl  wo r d pr ess  co m_  th i s  is  an  inco mplete  ver sio n_


    Yan Mingyong stopped turning the page, hishead raised and helightly sized YeZhizhou up, then lowered his eyes and kneaded hishand. He softly replied, "Waittill theautumnhunt."


    "But¡­¡­"


    "I know you''re concerned about how An Chengjie is doing now." Yan Mingyong put his book tothe sideand wheeled his chair toface him. "I know that heused you of bullying him just after heentered theZhen Guo<em><span> household</em> and smeared your reputation toraise his own standing outside. I also know hesowed discord between you and your family, tothe point of testing the Elder Lady An and discrediting your mother¡­¡­ You don''t have toworry, hewon''t have it easy. But you needn''t dirty your hands with these, I''ll do it for you, hm?"


    YeZhizhou went nk hearing these words from him, "You were watching meand him all along?"


    "No, I was looking out for you." Yan Mingyong''shand raised tostroke his cheek, his eyes deepened, "As for him, heis not worth fearing for." Even if hedevelops a few terrible objectsthere''s nothing tobe scared of.


    YeZhizhoupromised after hewas sure hecouldn''t leave. He threw the mission tothe back of his mind and concentrated onnourishing his lover''s spiritual force. One monthter the remaining poison in Yan Mingyong''s body was cleanly flushed out and his weak body also mostly restored and hefinally looked likea regr teenaged youth.


    They had just finished lunch and YeZhizhou was mulling over ying a tune in theafternoon so hewas alittle unresponsiveand puzzled. "Go back?"


    "Mm." Yan Mingyong now gradually didn''t need his wheelchair toget around, after this reply hesteadily walked up topull onhishand and lead him outside. "Last night, Chuan Yue suddenly caught onfire. The fire spread too quickly, they couldn''t put it out before it burned through half of the street. Three people burned todeath and eleven injured. We need togo back tograsp the situation clearly."<sup>1</sup>


    This rmed YeZhizhou, heinstinctively rejected it, "How can that be!" Before opening the restaurant hedid his besttotake measurestoguard against fire. After all, all theancient buildings are made of wood, so they must pay attention tothis. In additionhe had carefully instructed the servers, shopkeeper, and the kitchen staffstokeep the big water jars in the backyard full at all time so they can put out fire ontime!


    Atthat momentthe two had already reached the gate. Yan Mingyong helped him up intothe carriageand said a name without an expression onhis face: "An Chengjie."


    YeZhizhou mouth slightly opened, then hefell silent andhis eyebrows furrowed deeply.


    All the way tothe restaurant YeZhizhou waspletely quiet. Yan Mingyong sat by him, holding hishand and silentlyforting him. When the horse carriagearrived atthe southern street YeZhizhou finally snapped out of it. He gripped Yan Mingyong''shand that washolding his, "No hurry togo tothe restaurant. Whereare the wounded? I wanttogo see them first."


    Yan Mingyong nodded, helped him down the carriageand gave his instructionstothe coachman. He then pulled YeZhizhou towalk towards a pharmacy not far from Chuan Yue. YeZhizhou looked atthe burned wood frames of houses from acrossthe street and hishands slowly tensed. The protagonist wastransmigrated, there''s no way hedidn''t know what danger fire posed in theancienttimes.


    He turned hishead atthe sudden loud whinny from the horse,, and the horse carrying the carriage they were onwas startled and started running towardsthe burned down Chuan Yue!


    "This is bad! The driver is still riding it!" The building''s wood frames are onthe verge of copsing after the fire, if it receives such a powerful blow that driver will be in danger!


    Atthe crucial moment Yan Mingyong pulled out a small whistle from his sleeves and blew it. One secondter a figure rushed out of the shadowstothe front of the carriage, dragged the coachman by his cor, threw him off the carriage then quickly left andpletely blended in with the shadows once more.


    YeZhizhou let out a relieved sigh, hethen thoughttocheck the coachman''s situation butthe next second an earth-shaking explosion washeard. He raised hishead in shock, hecould feel the sensation of imbnce from the ground shifting under his feet, filling hisheart with disbelief. This is¡­¡­. an explosion? The protagonist already made explosives?


    "Be careful!" Thinking it was an earthquake, Yan Mingyong leapttoshield him under his body.


    He lied onthe ground with hishead raised; hesaw smokeand dust left by the explosion and the mess of people running outtothe street, heheard panicked voices of patients and physicians in the pharmacy, and hetruly felt angry for the firsttime. He indignantly pounded onthe ground.


    Setting fire, nting bombs, has An Chengjie gone mad?!

    Theexplosion quickly attracted thearmy. Lei Baofei rushed over on a horse,looking graveand serious.


    Thestreet was chaotic, broken pieces of rocks and dirt had flown all over thece. YeZhizhou''s head was covered with sweat as hecrouched by theroad, wrapping a child wounded from theexplosion. Yan Mingyong was behind him instructing De''an with something.


    "Your highness!" Lei Baofei dismounted from his horseand strodeover, heperformed a formal greeting with his hands cupped. "May his highness eighth princeleaveimmediately. Another earthquakeusually follows after oneurred, this ceis not safe.¡±


    Yan Mingyong nced at YeZhizhou, whowas focused on wrapping people''s wounds, and shook his head, "Noneed. Also, it''s not an earthquake. Clean up thestreet then surround Chuan Yuerestaurant, but firstly cethewounded and physicians inthenearby tavern. Themedicines areon theway and will beheresoon."


    <span>t h i s i s a n i n c o m p l e t e v e r s i o n r e a d o n p a d a m t l , w o r d p r e s s , c o m


    "We''ll talk indetailter, movethewounded peoplefirst." Yan Mingyong turned his wheelchair toYeZhizhou''s sideand bent down tostrokehis head, "Le''er, physicians will beherevery soon, I''ll let someonemovethechild tothetavern, you rest for a while."


    In themiddleof tying thegauzeinceheturned tolook at Yan Mingyong and Lei Baofei, then stood up whilewiping his sweat and nodded, "Okay, we''ll alsogotothetavern." Helooked at Lei Baofei whiletalking, hedidn''t havethemood todothemission at themoment sohespokebriefly, "Beg Lord Lei tohandlethematters here, his highness and I shall leavefirst."


    This is thefirst timeLei Baofei met this bookpanion of eighth prince. Seeing this calm and steady facethat was unlikerepulsiveappearanceAn Chengjiedescribed, hefelt aplex emotion inhis heart. His attitudebecamewarmer and hecupped his hands toanswer him, "Young lord An needn''t besocourteous, farewell."


    [Probability of Lei Baofei falling inlovewith theprotagonist dropped to5%, may thehost persist inhis efforts.]


    YeZhizhou gawked, thennced at Lei Baofei not knowing whether tosmile. "Seeyouter, Lord Lei." This Lei Baofei, every timeheappears his loveprobability drops a littlemore, such a generous littleangel.


    "Le''er." Yan Mingyong tightly grabbed his hand, helooked at Lei Baofei with a deep gaze. "We''ll return tothepceshortly, I''m afraid wewon''t seeLord Lei again."


    It was only few words of pleasantries, why did herpse! YeZhizhou unhappily pinched his hand then turned topush his wheelchair. Henodded toLei Baofei then walked towards thetavern. Hewalked until they wereout of Lei Baofei''s earshot and swatted at Yan Mingyong''s head. "You littlevinegar jar. With your <em><span>bratty attitude</em>, if not me, noonewould want you!"


    Yan Mingyong was indignant. "I don''t want any other anyway!"


    "But therewill definitely beother peoplefor me."


    "Whodares!" Yan Mingyong forcefully hit thearmrest, about toexplode. "We''ll goback to<em><span> Wen Quan</em> vi now! Right away! De''an, let theservants ready our carriage! We''ll goback and marry there!"


    Only<em><span> nutjobs</em> would want togoback tothat vi, there''s only oneperson totalk tothere: Yan Mingyong! And marriage? YeZhizhou tugged on thoseears whilegrinding his own teeth, "<em><span>Spare the rod, spoil the kid.</em> You''restill thinking of marriage? Haveyou even grown up<em><span> there</em>?"


    Yan Mingyong held untotheimpudent hand on his ears, red-faced and gnashing his teeth, "I am nolonger a littleboy."


    "That so?" Hestarted pulling away and found hecouldn''t break away. Hesnorted, "With your small body, can you perform<em><span> in bed</em>?"


    Yan Mingyong stiffened and was<em><span> subdued.</em> Pleased, YeZhizhou pinched his face, finally stopped provoking him and wheeled him away. De''an, whowas following behind thetwopeoplewalking peacefully, looked at YeZhizhou with a deep look. Helowered his head silently, as theperson whoserved under eighth princefrom small hecan say for surethat though Eighth prince''s body is not healthy, hewas already a full-fledged adult¡­¡­


    After settling thewounded peopleand theaffected families at thetavern they both headed straight back tothepce. Yan Mingyong went tomeet with theemperor. YeZhizhou closed thepce''s gate, then took out thesmall pouch of explosivehemadewhilestaying at Wen Quan vi and gently ced it on thetable.


    Without thespiritual forcecouldn''t cover a very widerange. Hehadn''t got thechancetoput someof his spiritual forceon theprotagonist, sowanting tosearch for theprotagonist''s location now is very hard. That firewas aimed for Chuan Yue but theexplosion afterwards was for Mingyong and his carriage, most likely theprotagonist found out theperson pitting him inthedark was himself¡­. Thesituation was far from good, originally hethought if he just<em><span> toss him around</em> and out thecapital that was thecentreof thestory, and alsoprevent him from making thosebombs and offering them up totheseventh prince, this world will beas good as saved, but now¡­¡­ Therearestill twogs remaining, thebomb alsoappeared inthis shy manner, An Chengjiewas hiding insomehole, seventh prince''s circumstances werenot clear¡­¡­.


    Yan Mingyong returned from visiting theemperor. Hesaw theinner pcegateclosed shut and turned his head toDe''an heleft tokeep watch by YeZhizhou, "Le''er shut himself inthereall this time?"


    "Young lord An hasn''teout sinceheentered."


    His brows knitted. Heroseup from his wheelchair and pushed thegateopen. His gazeswept over theinterior and when hecaught sight of thefigurenear thetable, his tenseheart rxed. Yan Mingyong strodein, took theman intohis embraceand rubbed against his ears, "Still unhappy?" As hespokehis lineof sight fell on thesmall pouch on thetableand his expression changed. Hequickly poured tea on it and held YeZhizhou away from thetablewhileshouting at thedoor, "Guards, search all of Yong Yan! Pour water on any suspicious items you find!"


    YeZhizhou was startled awakeby his movements. Several Zijinguards swooshed intosearch theinterior, they took thedrenched explosiveand wereabout tospeedily leave. Hehurriedly shouted, "<em><span>No!</em> Leavethathere, my form is still inthere!"


    Oneof theZijinguards walking out stopped and took thewet bombs back, ncing at Yan Mingyong.


    Yan Mingyong clung tightly toYeZhizhou''s hand, nodding his head after a moment''s hesitation.


    After theZijinguards left, YeZhizhou brokefreeof Yan Mingyong''s hold and opened thewet bomb, hetook out asheet of paper from insideof it; thewriting was blurred from being drenched. Hehanded it over toYan Mingyong, "For you, this is theform for the explosives. What you thought was an earthquakewas caused by this thing."


    Theemotions inYan Mingyong''s eyes looking at him was hard tomakeout. "This is what you made? It''s for me?"


    "Mm." YeZhizhou lowered his eyes tocover emotions showing up inthem, "Theexplosion this morning was from An Chengjieusing these. Wehavetocatch him. Also, hemight appear at autumn hunt in a few days, weneed tokeep this inmind." Theloveprobability of that seventh princedidn''t drop onebit sotheplot whereheand theprotagonist meet at theautumn hunt most probably won''t change. If hedoesn''t meet him then that''s all good, but if they domeet¡­.. hewill makehim<em><span> pay dearly</em>!


    Yan Mingyong took thewet paper and suddenly his lips pulled up inasmile, "Indeed, need tokeep this inmind."


    YeZhizhou felt his smilelooked somewhat strange, heeyed him with somemisgivings, "What is it?"


    "Le''er." Heput down theform down and moved closer tohold him, thesmileon his facegrew increasingly bright and wide. "Did you guess that An Chengjiewould colludewith seventh brother from way before? When you just entered thepceyou sneaked intohis room and left him aslip of paper ¡ª that wasn''t becauseyou fell for him but becauseyou wanted toapproach him andter prevent them from working together, right?"


    What''s all this and that¡­¡­. Not right! Hepulled back and lowered his head tolook at him, surprisecolored his entireface, "You knew that I left a note inseventh prince''s room?"


    "I knew." Yan Mingyong dark eyes shed with astrangeglint. His hands loosened abruptly and hetook out asmall wooden spherefrom his sleeves, shaking it as his smiledistorted. "How can I allow others toreceivea loveletter you wrotebeforeI could?"


    YeZhizhou looked at thewooden ball wrapped around his noteinYan Mingyong''s hand, then at his distorted smile. Heheld his forehead and howled, "Nowonder seventh princenever responded¡­.. Haveyou havebeen monitoring An Chengjieall this time? Don''t tell methey got together already?!"


    "Le''er really is smart." Yan Mingyong put away thewooden ball and walked up tohug him, hented a kiss on his cheek, "ThepeopleAn Chengjiegot tomakeexplosives with him aremy people. At first I was only curious what hewanted todoby sneaking back tothecapital city and didn''t expect him tomakethis deviceofrge-scaledestruction¡­.. Though I thought it a pleasant surprise."


    Still pleasantly surprised? It all but exploded right over your head and you still feel pleasant? Hehad been annoyedbeforebut it''s his first timebeing<em><span> annoyed</em> tothis point! Nowonder theprotagonist finished thebomb even faster without seventh prince''s help! Hedidn''t haveoneSeventh Princebut hestill had oneEighth Prince! Truly wicked!


    YeZhizhou lost his temper. Hesat down on thechair and toreoff theboy sticking tohim. "Givemea clear exnation, whether it is An Chengjieor seventh prince, what elseareyou doing behind my back! You.. You want toanger metodeath!"


    Yan Mingyong tightly held him, not letting go, his facerubbed thecebetween his neck and shoulders and heshut his eyes contentedly, "Le''er, you''rereally smart. Soyou can alsomakeexplosives. Sureenough, An Chengjiehas nothing on you."


    "Get off me!"

    "Has seventh princecolluded with An Chengjie? Tell meclearly! When did they start working together!"


    "Tomorrow I will ask imperial father togrant us marriage."


    "And after wemarried you''ll havetocall me<em><span> husband.</em>"


    "¡­.Get lost!" Hecan''t get through with him! This brat must bedoing this on purpose!


    At night, Yan Mingyong crushed<em><span> befuddling beads</em> oncemoreand put YeZhizhou tosleep. Heleft Yong Yan pcewith De''an and only returned at dawn.


    Thenext day, inthemorning court an official from theministry of work went up topresent theemperor a typeof weapon called ''explosive''. Heunbridledly praised thewit and diligenceof theseventh princeand let out that seventh princewas developing theseinsecret inorder topresent them on his imperial majesty''s birthday. Healsomentioned thesmall earthquakeon thesouthern street yesterday was exactly from this explosive, it was theprincetesting out theweapon''s power.


    As soon as hesaid this, theofficials wereinan uproar and thegazethat several princes had when they look at seventh princechanged. Seventh prince''s expression alsochanged. Theexplosivewas asecret weapon hejust discovered recently; it was truehesecretly tested it at thesouthern street, but offering it tohis imperial majesty? This is clearly someone''s trap for him!


    A weapon that could causean earthquake-likeeffect, itspower would betremendous! Theprinces exchanged nces, thecourt officials alsofrantically<em><span> calcted</em> inside, for a while, only that one official''s unending stream of praises totheseventh princerang inthe big hall.


    Without waiting for seventh princetofind an answer that''ll work inhis favour, theemperor of Yan already responded totheofficial''s words, hereceived theexplosives and rewarded theseventh princewith several things. Healsotold him tobring forth themaker of thebombs sohemay look at him. Hedidn''t mention thehavoc thosebombs wreaked on thesouthern street, he had a very subtle attitude.


    Matter has reached this point, theseventh princecan only kneel and thank theemperor. However, hefelt heavy inside, his mind was working nonstop tofigureout whocould havebetrayed him.


    [Probability of Yan Mingli falling inlovewith theprotagonist dropped to90%, may thehost persist inhis efforts]


    YeZhizhou blew his harmonica inasmall pavilion of Yan Mingyong''s pcewhilehis gazeswept across thelight screen. Thecorners of his mouth pulled up slightly. Theprotagonist wants tohideaway intheshadows, hewill drag him toseethelight! And that seventh prince, wanting toy<em><span> pig eating tiger</em> whileother princes arestill standing strong? He''s dreaming!


    Yan Mingyong noticed thekilling intent withinhis tune. His fingers fiddled with thepageand a cold glint shed through his eyes. Le''er is not happy, how should I coax him¡­¡­ Takeout An Chengjieand kill him, pull seventh brother down, or maybe¡­. Get married?<h5></h5>

 Chapter 38

    The seventh prince then took an old craftsman to face Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan didn''t ask much, he bestowed rewards and then dismissed them. In the next morning court, the Emperor of Yan issued an imperial edict that bestowed the title of King to the seventh prince, Yan Mingli. The Emperor never had a crown prince, nor had he ever given the title of a king to any of his sons. Today the seventh prince was the first to be dered as one. Everyone had their own thoughts; some guessed this was the seventh prince''s rise to the top, while others felt this was how the Emperor will restrain the Seventh Prince, and so his chance at the throne is gone.


    Yan Mingli read the edict on the table with a gloomy face. His hands clenched and unclenched, then clenched again. His mood was evidently terrible.


    His trusted eunuch leaned closer and reported in a low voice, "That person is making a ruckus. He said he thought of a new idea that will definitely help Your Highness earn money and that he also designed a device that will greatly improve farm irrigation."


    "Oh?" Yan Mingli''s mouth corners pulled up, his eyes had a slight cold glint.


    "He has quite a lot of innovations.. But who knows if other people will present these items of his to Father the very next day!"


    Originally he approached An Chengjie in order to hold the stain of Zhen Guo household in his hands so he can revive the issue in the future. An Chengjie unexpectedly really had some skills; he had dedicated quite a lot of forms and blueprints, some time ago he had even made that amazing thing called explosives, but Yan Mingli didn''t expect this meat pie that fell from the heaven will be poisoned!


    His eunuch poured a cup of tea for him and carefully advised, "Your Highness needn''t feel troubled over someone insignificant, this is a matter of keeping the useful ones, and killing the useless ones. Presently Your Highness is the first to be named king, after moving out of the pce into your kingly residence you will not need to walk on eggshells as now."


    Yan Mingli touched the cup and contemted without saying anything. The meat pie was really too enticing, he didn''t want to let it go¡­. Like this, he carefully thought of a countermeasure.


    The seventh prince''s "offerings" continued to be presented; an instrument for irrigation, a military defence equipment, a way of increasing crop output, rmending a foreignnd''s seed. There was even an advanced army drill system. The court officials'' reactions changed from the initial shock to subsequent apathy, the other princes'' gaze at the seventh prince became more and more strange while the seventh prince expression turned worse and worse each time. However, the emperor of Yan still appeared to value the seventh prince and bestowed him rewards after rewards. He even handpicked two of his own concubines to reward him, it was said these imperialdies were picked with the help of the empress dowager.


    The system prompts repeatedly popped out, until finally, two days before the autumn hunt, Yan Mingli and protagonist''s love probability dropped down to 50%. Ye Zhizhou switched off the screen then looked towards the desk where Yan Mingyong was ying chess by himself. He feltplex. Originally, Ye Zhizhou thought his lover was so small in this world, he''s also bratty and stubborn; so he certainly needed to take good care of him. He didn''t think he was being very naive; how could a child of the emperor be that simple? He only needed to mention his n for the other boy to aplish this much.


    As the research results were repeatedly made public in the morning court, the seventh prince eventually held no more trust in An Chengjie. He immediately told people to close off the small vi outside the capital and dispatched people to watch him. An Chengjie was recently absorbed in finishing one work after another, so he didn''t notice this change around him at all. His mind was immersed in a beautiful dream where he helped the seventh prince to reach the top and became a man above men himself, after that, he would ruthlessly torture the entire Zhen Guo household.


    "<em><span>Chuan Yue</em>? Heh." An Chengjie turned over the drawings made by the craftsmen ording to his vision andughed sinisterly, "What if we both transmigrated. You''ve already fallen to hell, and me, I''m destined to rise above thousands of people!"


    A ck shadow shed past a corner outside and quickly disappeared into the darkness.


    Midnight, in a secret prison.


    Yan Mingyong fiddled with the delicate little dart in his hand with an indifferent expression. "You''re sure he believed it?"


    "<em><span>This subordinate</em> witnessed it with his own eyes."


    "Withdraw, let them continue watching."


    "Yes!"


    The Zijin guard left and Yan Mingyong put down the dart. He smiled at the person affixed to the wall by a torture device, "Still not talking?"


    The fair and delicate looking man moved, despite looking near his death. He remained silent.


    "Didn''t expect you to have the backbone."


    Yan Mingyong got up and slowly walked inside, "You must not know yet, your treasured sweetheart has been bestowed a king title, quite impressive. Imperial father also picked a few good wives for him and is just waiting for a good date to get him married."


    The delicate man finally reacted. He looked up to Yan Mingyong with a fierce looking bloodied face, he struggled wildly, howling a hoarse desperate cry.


    "Can''t ept it? Does it pain you?" Yan Mingyong didn''t mind his hateful eyes one bit. He turned back to sit on the chair and continued, "The son of the stately minister of justice would be like this for a man who''s only been using him, truly pitiful. Do you know that, besides you, my seventh brother has quite a number of <em><span>''confidants''</em> just like you at hand? I heard among them a young man called Han Wen was especially favoured. That Han Wen¡­. he¡¯s your friend, right?"


    The delicate man''s eyes<em><span> bulged out</em>. His chest fluctuated violently and his throat let out a painful sob. Slowly, tears slid down from his wide open eyes.


    "Will you talk?" Yan Mingyong picked up the darts again, turning it in his hands leisurely.


    <em><span>A quarter of an hour</em>ter the fair and delicate man finally calmed down. He took a deep breath and expressionlessly said, "I''ll tell you everything you want to know, but I have a condition. You have to tell me the names of Mingli''s other ''confidants''."


    Yan Mingyong nodded, but ncing at the time, he got up and dropped the dart.


    "De''an, question him." After saying that, he walked out. He had wasted too much time, he had to go back to apany Le''er in bed.


    Coming out of the secret prison that was disguised as a rock garden, he was in the middle of pulling up his hood when a familiar voice came from above the hill, the tone was sinister.


    "So you''re so sleepy during the day because you <em><span>''yed''</em> around at night?"


    Yan Mingyong went stiff at this usation, he turned and looked up to the man sitting on a rock with his lips pursed, "Le''er."


    Ye Zhizhou jumped down the rockery, cracking his knuckles and sneering, "Even purposely making me lose consciousness, hm? You better give me a good exnation, otherwise¡­.¡± His eyes swept across his lower body and he made a cutting gesture.


    Yan Mingyong couldn''t help mping his thighs together.


    Early morning of the day before the autumn hunt, the minister of justice abruptly presented a self-incriminating document full of guilt, dering that he had deliberately misjudged cases over the past few years. The emperor was angered, he ordered the many guilty officials mentioned in the document to be killed. For now, the court officials perceived themselves to be in danger, and each one of them<em><span> cowered</em> with tails tucked between their legs. The princes who had moved on their own recently turned well-behaved from this fright, they only hoped no one in their own factions would be implicated.


    After the morning court, Yan Mingli flung anything that can be thrown in his study. He then urgently sent a letter to the minister of justice''s son.


    He''d never thought the person who never refused him would turn down his request to meet, unlike before, and would even leave the capital with his family for health reasons. That evening, the minister of justicemitted suicide <em><span>in the royal prison</em>.


    This finally raised an rm bell in Yan Mingli. From the moment he obtained An Chengjie''s explosives, everything had spiralled out of control. Now, even the family that was his biggest supporter betrayed him!


    Someone must be messing with him in the dark. Who could it be?


    He sat down and considered all from the first prince and the empress until the pce maids of the fifth prince, but couldn''te up with anything. Finally, he set his eyes on An Chengjie. Everything went wrong after he came in contact with that man. Moreover, those inventions that were submitted to the emperor right away¡­. It wasn''t clear who did it behind his back but there''s definitely something wrong with An Chengjie!


    With a chest full of anger, he donned a disguise and left the pce for the small vi outside of the capital.


    An Chengjie greeted him happily with a small dagger-like object in hand, he excitedly spoke, "Your Highness, you came at the right time. I''ve designed a new concealed weapon, it works wonderfully used with doctor Feng''s developed poison! Please look, this is the half-finished product."


    "Oh? A concealed weapon?" Yan Mingli feigned a smile and took the half-finished product in his hand, he examined it with narrowed eyes, "It''s been coated with poison?"


    An Chengjie didn''t suspect him so he nodded and said, "It''s only coated with a little poison. It won''t kill a person but it''s enough to make their arms and legs lose strength. Your Highness, please be careful, you mustn''t touch the surface at all."


    "Of course I''ll be careful." Yan Mingli hand raised, he patted him on the shoulders then he abruptly leaned forward and stabbed him hard in the stomach. Then, he steadied An Chengjie''s body and told him, with a smile, "This sort of concealed weapon can''t be presented to imperial father. It''s useless so<em><span> you </em>can use it."


    His wide eyes stared incredulously at the dagger in his stomach. His hands wrapped around the cut, he staggered back, his expression distorted as he looked at this man who exuded nobility and grace. "Your Highness, why would you¡­. like this¡­."


    The smile on Yan Mingli''s face disappeared. He fished out a handkerchief, wiped his hands and sneered at him, "I, Yan Mingli, had never had any patience for people who betray me. Guards, take him to the prison! Tell the doctors to keep him alive, this king still has questions for him."


    Betray? What does Yan Mingli mean?


    His wound really hurt, in his swaying line of sight he could see several shadows approaching. He struggled, but the spreading poison made him powerless. In the end, he gave up, he lost his consciousness with heart full of questions, unable to ept what had happened.


    [Probability of Yan Mingli falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 20%, may the host persist in his efforts]


    Ye Zhizhou turned off the screen and continued to leisurely flip the book. Hepletely ignored Yan Mingyong who fixedly stared at him.


    "Le''er." Yan Mingyong called out pitifully, his face had a pleading look of someone being wronged.


    This appearance would definitely evoke tender pity in people. Unfortunately, Ye Zhizhou who knew of his true nature had long grown immune to it, his eyelids didn''t even lift up.


    Since the night in the rock garden, Ye Zhizhou had started a one-sided cold war. No matter how Yan Mingyong coaxed, it wasn''t any good. Of course, from Ye Zhizhou''s perspective, him changing the topic was not coaxing but more like <em><span>adding fuel to the fire</em>!


    Yan Mingyong pursed up his lips. Looks like acting pitiful is useless. He bowed his head and went silent for a moment, then suddenly rising and closing all doors tightly. He walked back to Ye Zhizhou and took away his book.


    Ye Zhihou, who had been secretly watching his actions, raised his brows and looked up to him without a word.


    Yan Mingyong set aside the book and his hands started to undo his own belt.


    Hm? What is he doing? He was very puzzled, but remembering they were still in the middle of a cold war, he pressed down the urge to ask.


    The ck belt slid to the ground, the gold crown binding his hair followed. His wide sleeves slid down smoothly exposing the plump healthy arms it covered, outlined by the warm glow of the afternoon sun. His slender fingers reached for his belt and slowly pulled on it.


    <em><span>F<span>¨´ck!</em> What are you doing, you brat!<sup>1</sup><hr>


    <span><sup id="fn1">[1] Wo Cao, ÎÔ²Û,<span> same pinyin as ÎÒ²Ù. ¡ü</sup><sup id="fn2"></sup>

 Chapter 39

    Yan Mingyong stood there bathed in the sun, hair loose on his shoulders as the ck robe slipped to the ground and revealed his single snow-white inner robe. His beauty could suffocate people.


    Ye Zhizhou stared with wide eyes. He ufortably shifted his butt, wanting to rebuke him but also not wanting to talk, choked until his face turned all red. He finally shifted his gaze away resentfully. How despicable! He''d actually use a<em><span> honey trap</em>! No, he will notpromise! The brat would go out behind his back in the middle of the night, have night meetings with who-knows-who andter will not give him an exnation, unforgivable!


    Yan Mingyong saw that Ye Zhizhou''s eyes moved away, refusing to look at him. The hands on his cor tightened as his face sank. He directly threw off his inner robe to the ground and loosened the cor of his undergarments. He unyieldingly leaned forward, forced Ye Zhizhou to face him and kissed him hard!


    !!!


    "Yan Mingyong¡­. Let me go!" Ye Zhizhou struggled to push him away at once,<em><span> swearing</em> in his mind! His lover is too small right now, he can''t touch him with his mouth or his hands! He doesn''t want to act like an animal! He is a goodw-abiding citizen!


    Seeing him struggle, Yan Mingyong''s reason flew off to the<em><span> highest</em> of heavens. He forgot what he had set out to do in the first ce, he fiercely kissed and bit, his hand felt for his belt. His body wrapped around Ye Zhizhou, firmly pressing him beneath him leaving no gap between them.


    "Yan.. Mfh, Yan Mingyong!"


    "Le''er, you''re mine! Mine!"


    One struggled and the other pressed on. In the middle of tossing side to side, all of their clothes came loose and their hair intertwined together, this scene appeared extremely ambiguous.


    Suddenly the closed gate was pushed open. Emperor Yan was smiling as he stepped in, but once he saw the situation inside clearly he was shocked to a stop. His face quickly sank as he roared, "Little eighth, An Chengle, what are you doing!"


    Ye Zhizhou''s whole body stiffened, while Yan Mingyong''s reaction was quick. He picked up the clothes on the floor and covered up Ye Zhizhou''s exposed chest.


    He frowned at the emperor of Yan, showing a rarely seen childishness. "Why didn''t you knock beforeing in, Father! You''re not allowed to look at Le''er! If you look once more I won''t help investigate seventh brother!"


    Emperor Yan had to swallow back his anger.. He couldn''t help but raise his hand to clutch his chest, feeling himself getting a bit dizzy, "You.. this unfilial son! You actually.. actually¡­. What will you have me say to subject An!"


    "What about this is so unspeakable?" Yan Mingyong stood in front of Ye Zhizhou firmly. He talked as if it was the most natural thing, "I want to get married to Le''er, Your Majesty, grant us a wedding."


    Emperor Yan grabbed the door frame to support himself.


    Ye Zhizhou endured and endured and finally couldn''t endure it anymore. He ruthlessly kicked his lover''s buttocks then covered himself with his clothes. This little brat! It''s only a matter of time before he''d anger him to death!


    Yan Mingyong angered Emperor Yan into leaving. Before he left, he looked like he wanted to say something to Ye Zhizhou but said nothing in the end, only sighing.


    <em><span>The reckless</em> Yan Mingyong turned to hold Ye Zhizhou and rub against him, and seriously spoke, "Le''er, don''t worry. Imperial father is sure to agree to our marriage. After the autumn hunt ends I will go propose marriage to your family."


    Ye Zhizhou instantly exploded. He impolitely turned over the other boy and spanked his bottom a few times. He reached for the belt that was thrown away and tied Yan Mingyong''s hands together. At the end of it all, having vented all his anger he sneered at the boy, "Propose marriage? Very well, you proposed it so boldly. Right, I forgot to tell you, unmarried couples are not allowed to meet. So, you stay here, I''m going home. Goodbye!"


    After he finished talking, he got up and grabbed his own belt, tied it around himself, and angrily rushed out.


    After he was sure Ye Zhizhou had left, Emperor of Yan came out from a corner and entered the pce yard. He saw his family''s little brat miserably tied on the ground and his face momentarily went rigid.


    "You like him that much? You''ve decided on him?"


    Yan Mingyong easily broke free of the belt loosely tying his wrists. He sat up, and said to his father, "Your Majesty, I will only want him in<em><span> my</em> whole life. In addition, he is the most suitable person for me."


    A healthy son who held the power of secret soldiers may not be to His Majesty''s liking, but a son who, while having the secret soldiers under hismand, was also<em><span> ruled</em> by his feelings and unable to have children of his own will let His Majesty feel at ease. Duke Zhen Guo was a staunch loyal member of the emperor''s own faction, Yan Mingyong marrying Duke Zhen Guo''s son could only be most suitable. Although he secretly wished to give Le''er a marriage that was unrted to benefits,<em><span> situation over man</em>, one who wants to live freely in this imperial city must worry over the thoughts of those in power.


    Emperor Yan stood up firmly even while feelingplicated watching his son''s serene expression and indifferent eyes. "After the autumn hunt has concluded this emperor will grant you two a wedding!" After that sentence, he fell silent. He tried to probe, "Mingyong, do you really not want this position of mine?"


    "I don''t." Yan Mingyong refused it without the slightest amount of hesitation. He got up and slowly put on his clothes. "I want to live leisurely days with Le''er. Moreover, <em><span>Your Majesty</em>, it''s not as if you''re going to seat me on that position."


    Emperor Yan was slightly angry at having his thoughts exposed, but his heart softened when he thought of everything his son had helped him to do all these years.


    "Then¡­. Be well." He turned and left.


    Yan Mingyong stopped in the middle of tidying his clothes. His head raised up to watch the brilliant golden figure walking away and his lips pulled up in a smile, "Fortunately, I still have Le''er, and I also.. only have Le''er left."


    The Autumn Hunt''s festivities began. Manymon folks were drawn toe look at the carriages of the ministers and nobles lined up at the city gate from early morning.


    An Chengsheng put down the poem anthology he was flipping through and looked at Ye Zhizhou, who''s staring off into space at one corner of the carriage. He sighed, "Le''er, did you not sleep well yesterday? Why do you look downcast?"


    Ye Zhizhou lifted his eyes to nce at him. He took out an "old poem anthology" from his bosom and threw it over, then changed his posture and continued to stare in a daze. His brat actually let him go back home¡­ How suspicious, he felt there was a plot behind all this.


    An Chengsheng caught the anthology book and started reading immediately out of habit. He only snapped out of it after he had read two pages. He put down the book and stroked his younger brother''s head helplessly, "What''s wrong, did you fight with the eighth prince?"


    "Big brother." Ye Zhizhou shook off the hand on his head and looked at his brother seriously, "Are you one of the first prince''s people now?"


    "Le''er, you¡­." An Chengsheng withdrew his hand. He frowned slightly. "Who told you these things? The eighth prince?"


    "No." He shook his head and sat up.


    He looked straight into An Chengsheng''s eyes, and earnestly said, "Big brother, the first prince is not exactly a wise monarch-to-be worth following. The empress''s influence has taken a deep root. The<em><span> influence</em> behind him isplex and there is also the empress dowager behind him. All the power he has now will turn into a rope that restricts him after he ascends the throne. What''s more, the first prince''s inherent character is too indecisive and his princess consort belongs to a kingly n thatcks tolerance. Big brother,<em><span> please think thrice.</em>"


    In the original plot, because the third prince pulled the first prince from his high position An Chengsheng was also suppressed, the House of Zhen Guo was implicated and had to experience hard days. Afterwards the second prince took the chance to extend<em><span> his goodwill</em>, only then did An Chengsheng make a sloweback. By then, An Chengjie who had worked hard under the seventh prince simply couldn''t be bothered with An Chengsheng''s life or death, he was<em><span> rolling around in bed</em> with the seventh prince all too happily.


    An Chengsheng turned solemn. "Le''er, did you hear something from the eighth prince?"


    No, he read the spoilers in the system''s data. He returned to the corner, his hand waved flippantly, "Big brother, the future of the House of Zhen Guo is on your shoulders. Think of what father would do and think, and<em><span> think again</em>." The emperor was holding the seventh prince so highly he was close to falling to his death, the court matters were as murky as muddy waters, this story had steered far from its original course. He didn''t know which prince will ascend in the end so remaining neutral was the<em><span> best</em> course of action. He didn''t want to admit it, but since he had Yan Mingyong with him, the House of Zhen Guo should notmit any terrible offence¡ª he even felt they would be able to live out their lives peacefully.


    An Chengsheng watched his younger brother who had turned away from him, in deep thoughts.


    They arrived to the hunting grounds and a lively shooting ceremony started off the hunt. Each sacrifice was set up then everyone along with the emperor worshipped the heaven and earth. The first arrow was shot, the emperor dered that the Autumn Hunt had officially began. The first prince took the lead to enter the thick forest with his troop, the rarely seen eighth prince followed closely behind him. The other princes reacted to this by convening their troops one after another. Only the seventh prince who had feigned illness was quietly cooped up in his tent.


    Duke Zhen Guo returned to his family''s tent and saw both his sons nestled inside. He was was very puzzled. "Howe both of you are not hunting?"


    Although he never clearly asked about it, he knew his eldest was<em><span> keeping the first prince''spany</em>, while his youngest son had the eighth prince who was so sticky to him to the point that it was odd he could have returned to the residence yesterday. Now he''s not even taken to the hunt, Duke Zhen Guo found it even harder to believe.


    An Chengsheng nced at Ye Zhizhou and saidughingly, "The weather is too hot, don''t want to move around."


    Ye Zhizhou told the truth without being pressured, "I fought with the eighth prince."


    Duke Zhen Guo looked at his youngest son without a word, he didn''t ask for the reason. He walked away shaking his head.


    One<em><span> shichen</em>ter, a guard covered with blood rushed out of the forest and into the camp. He ran in and screamed for help, rming everyone. They hurriedly stopped him and carefully asked, the answer they got was very shocking!


    "The sixth and fourth prince fought over a prey, then¡­. Then they fell down a cliff together! The first prince and the eighth prince took a detour to look for them but in the chaos from andslide we were separated!"


    People were in an uproar. The emperor only had eight princes in total, now two of them fell off a cliff while another two were separated from their guards, if something bad were to happen¡­.


    "Look for them, all of you!" Emperor Yan hit his armrest, his body trembled slightly because of the chaotic up and downs in his mood. "Get the remaining princes toe back first! Lei Shihong, return to the capital. Lead the army here, now!"


    Lei Shihong followed his orders quickly and raced away on his horse.


    The rxed and lively atmosphere of the camp was wiped away, everyone in the camp lowered their heads and didn''t dare to speak. Therger half of the soldiers guarding the camp were sent deep into the forest. An Chengsheng was terribly worried over the first prince''s safety and wanted to follow, but Ye Zhizhou pulled him back.


    "Le''er?"


    "Don''t go." He could faintly make out the position of that wisp of spiritual force in Yan Mingyong''s body.


    He frowned slightly. He dragged An Chengsheng away from the crowd and said with a lowered voice, "The situation''s a bit strange, don''t move for now." Yan Mingyong was clearly staying put at a campsite not too far away. If the first prince was working with him there should be no danger to them.


    An Chengsheng''s brows knitted. He hesitated, but, ncing at their parents who stood a distance away from them he stopped asking to be included in the search party.


    The campfire burned all night. When dawn arrived, the soldiers came back with the heavily injured and unconscious sixth prince and fourth prince. There was no news of the other princes, as if they had disappeared into thin air.


    "Keep searching!" Emperor Yan who hadn''t slept all night looked old and haggard. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was unrecognisably hoarse. "Find them alive, or<em><span> bring me</em> their bodies if they''re dead,<em><span> I¡­.</em>"


    Boom¡ª¡ª


    An earth-shaking explosion suddenly came from deep within the forest. All heads turned towards it, only to see smoke rising from the explosion.


    "What happened?!" Emperor Yan was rmed. He stood and walked over, he could see thick smoke and fire sparks rising in the distant woods. His eyes were tinged with panic. "Why are there explosives in the forest?"


    Rumble¡ª¡ª


    After a brief silence even more explosions sounded. Smokes rose up in session as the forest fire grewrger. They gradually merged and quickly seem to encircle the entire campsite.


    "No¡­. My princes are still in the forest! Quick, quickly put it out!" The sight of raging fire made his eyes bulge out. He staggered towards it, nearly falling before Lei Shihong caught him in time. "Who is harming my sons! These bombs¡­ Seventh! Where is the seventh prince? Come here!"


    "My Father, now, there will be no one else," Yan Mingli stepped out from the back of the crowd, his face twisted in sick joy, "You only have this one son left. Lord Lei, Imperial Father is tired. Aren''t you going to help him into his tent?"


    Emperor Yan turned his head in shock, "Lei Shihong, you, you¡­"


    Lei Shihong''s head dipped without a word, he unceremoniously ''helped'' the emperor retire.


    All of the officials were frightened but without waiting for their reaction, the soldiers charged in and rounded them all up.


    Ye Zhizhou stood behind the crowd watching everything unfold. He probed for the weak spiritual force from Yan Mingyong again, his mouth pulling up. He was certain that Lei Shihong wouldn''t betray the emperor, he''s also very sure that Yan Mingyong ispletely safe right now, so all that is happening right now¡­. The Emperor''s quite good at acting, ah.

 Chapter 40

    The soldiers rushed into the camp and detained everyone separately. Ye Zhizhou was "very lucky" to enjoy the treatment of a private jail. He looked around the inconspicuous little tent standing at the corner of the campsite. His gaze moved from the burning resin, the rug on the ground, thennded on the bowl of noodles and cut fruits on the small table.


    He bent down to touch it. Very good, the noodles are still hot.


    He directly sat down, picked up the chopsticks and ate the noodles.


    "You''re not scared it has poison in it?"


    He rolled his eyes, not in the mood to even look at the other person. "I''m eating what<em><span> you </em>served me." I won''t die from eating it anyway, Tongtian the medicine peddling system is the greatest!


    Yan Mingyong was speechless. He went over to Ye Zhizhou''s side, a bit unhappily. He sat down and pressed close to him, wrapping his hand around his waist. "Later on, you''re not allowed to leave me for more than a day."


    Ye Zhizhou plugged his mouth with a piece of cantaloupe then continued busying himself with his noodles. The Emperor''s and Yan Mingyong''s self-produced y troubled him all night. He was tired and hungry and didn''t have the mind to humor the brat who was back with his antics.


    Yan Mingyong bit the melon, looking a bit stunned and as if he wanted to spit it out. However, thinking that this is the first time Le''er fed him melon, he obediently swallowed. His head tilted seeing Ye Zhizhou gobbling up his meal, feeling a bit distressed. His arm tightened around him, "You didn''t sleep the whole night? Or eat a single thing?"


    Ye Zhizhou only looked up to him when he was wiping his mouth after having swallowed thest bit of noodles and soup. He pulled a long face, "You must''ve been deliberate yesterday, angering me so I''ll go back home. What''s this y you''re acting out with the emperor? What about the other princes?"


    "My elder brothers, third and fifth princes are catching the moles nted by seventh brother in the capital while the first and second prince are clearing up seventh brother''s private army. The troops brought by Lord Lei are under Lei Baofei''s management now, after tonight all of seventh brother''s forces will be cleaned up. We will be able to get married and live out our lives," Yan Mingyong''s face, which became rosier with some difficulty, was now paler again, his exhaustion appeared on his face. "Afterwards the struggle for that position will no longer have anything to do with us. Whoeveres to power in the end, the House of Zhen Guo will remain as it is now. Le''er, you can rest assured."


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the dark shadows under his eyes, in an instant all the fury in him dissipated. He sighed as he hugged Yan Mingyong sideways and stroked his long hair, "Because you''re still so young, I thought you can grow up slowly with me by your side¡­" In the end he still received his lover''s care and protection¡­ He was too useless.


    "I''ve grown up." Yan Mingyong smiled because he finally got Ye Zhizhou to pay attention to him. He intimately rubbed against the other''s neck and arched into his embrace. "Le''er, you''re so good. You''re mine, mine. How can you be this good? I like you so much."


    Ye Zhizhou looked at his lover being like this and couldn''t stop his own smile. He pulled on his hair gently and patted on his back, "Alright, sleep for now, I''m with you."


    In his arms, Yan Mingyong nodded to his chest and contentedly closed his eyes, quickly falling asleep.


    In a vi outside the capital, Lei Baofei kicked open the prison gate and led the elite soldier''s charge. He yelled, "Count how many are locked in and confirm their identity one by one, write down their names and bring them to the ministry of justice."


    All of the soldiers replied "yes" in unison, then checked the cells one by one.


    The man kept in the deepest cell of the prison moved suddenly, quickly throwing himself to the cell front and shouted, "Is it brother Lei? Brother Lei! It''s me, An Chengjie! The seventh prince locked me in here and tortured me for a long time! Please, take me out! Brother Lei, save me!"


    An Chengjie? Lei Baofei was stunned but still strode over. He squatted down and examined the disheveled man in the prison cell and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn''t I arrange someone to send you northwest?"


    An Chengjie''s badly mangled hands gripped the wooden door tightly. He pressed his face to the opening, His expression distorted in his excitement, "Brother Lei, the seventh prince can''t die peacefully! I want him to suffer!"


    Lei Baofei unconsciously moved backward and his brows deeply furrowed at the other''s crazed eyes.


    [Probability of Lei Baofei falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congrattions to the host for removing the second g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou paused while putting on his clothes. His head dipped to look at Yan Mingyong, who stared at him from within the nkets, and asked, "You said Lei Baofei is taking charge of Lei Shihong''s troops now? What are they off to do?"


    "They¡¯re cleaning up the craftsmen who made those bombs for seventh brother." Yan Mingyong answered him obediently. He moved closer and hugged his waist, his tone started to sink, "Le''er, do you like that Lei Baofei a lot? Why are you so concerned about him?"


    How can he only be healed for a while before rpsing! Ye Zhizhou swatted at his head and pried open his hands, then warned him seriously, "If you get jealous at random again, I''ll make sure you stay<em><span> virgin</em> until you die!"


    Yan Mingyong was lying in the nket face down, when he heard that he stiffened, then, he sat up with a really dark expression, turning well-behaved.


    "I want to marry." Only after marriage can they have<em><span> wedding night</em>.


    Ye Zhizhou turned by his ear, he gloomily grinded his teeth, "What are you harping on about?"


    Yan Mingyong turned and showed him his back, showing a rare disy of his teen aged childishness.


    Just after the<em><span> Wu hour</em>, the princes who had received orders to clean up the seventh prince''s forces reached the camp and a quarter of an hourter Lei Baofei arrived with blueprints and letters to present to everyone. Yan Mingyong came out from the tent, he checked the things brought back before lighting up a signal re.


    Yan Mingli who was forcing the emperor to write a will naming him heir in the main tent was rmed by the re.


    When he came out to check, Lei Shihong attacked him from behind and he was swiftly tied up and thrown before the emperor.


    "You.. You all¡­" Yan Mingli was shocked seeing Lei Shihong standing behind the emperor once more and the Emperor of Yan who now regained his usual regality. His expression distorted, "You worked together to deceive me! Lei Shihong, you traitor!"


    "Treacherous son, shut your mouth!" Emperor Yan ruthlessly kicked him in the chest, not covering up his loathing and anger at all, "<em><span>Cruel, amoral bastard</em>! You actually thought to kill all your brothers and take the throne by force! How can<em><span> my </em>own son be so vicious! Guards, seize this beast. Put him in the royal prison, set a date and cut off his head!"


    Yan Mingli fell to the ground with a muffled groan of pain. He struggled wildly hearing those words, "No! You can''t! You only have one son left! You can¡¯t kill me! Fourth and Sixth won''t heal from their injuries¡ª Sooner orter they''ll die! You can''t kill me!"


    "Who said I only have one son left?" The Emperor of Yan smiled grimly, "Rest assured, all<em><span> my </em>sons will live well, except for you." He waved his hand at the soldiers who came in, he didn''t want to look at the person on the ground anymore.


    Yan Mingli was dragged away while snarling. Emperor Yan closed his eyes, the cold and hard mask he had on fell apart, revealing a face holding a trace of fatigue, "My subject Lei, Have I done something wrong?"


    Lei Shihong remained silent. He dare notment on the matters of the royal family.


    The farce-like autumn hunt ended, the seventh prince and his subordinates were eliminated so swiftly that the ministers couldn''t react to it properly. The court''s unrest gradually calmed. The cake left behind by the seventh prince was quickly divided up amongst the other princes and they continued with their struggle.


    One monthter the seventh prince was executed and thest g was removed.


    Winter of the same year, when the border requested for backup, Lei Baofei offered himself to lead the army to face the enemy. An Chengsheng threw away his schrly pursuit and joined the army despite the first prince''s objection, gradually fading out from the first prince''s inner circle.


    Yan Mingyong reached the full age of fourteen as they approached the new year. Emperor Yan bestowed him the title of<em><span> King Xiaoyao</em> on his birthday and also sanctioned his marriage with the second son of Duke Zhen Guo, An Chengle. The Zhen Guo family had debated hard on the marriage date until it had been set on the winter four yearster, exactly when Yan Mingyong would have reached the age of eighteen.


    The court officials looked stumped, the princes were all bewildered, and Yan Mingyong, who heard the word "marriage" broke the cup in his grip. Ye Zhizhou squinted his eyes with a happy smile.


    The following day after the marriage decree was issued, Ye Zhizhou moved back to the Zhen Guo residence because "grooms-to-be cannot be allowed to see each other before their wedding", but he soon joined the army and followed the supply troops to the border. Yan Mingyong who ran over to catch his wife back had to return empty handed, in addition, he had to face the cold eyes of his future mother-inw so he was left very sullen by it.


    The fight at the border went on and off for three years and Yan Mingyong ran around the border for all those three years.


    These three years Ye Zhizhou was like a loach, slipping through his hands without a trace. He couldn''t catch him, let alone touch him, to catch even a glimpse of him would be high luxury!


    After arriving at the border Ye Zhizhou immediately joined the logistics and were tasked with settling the wounded people at a neighboring city. When Yan Mingyong arrived at the city Ye Zhizhou would have ran off to the Central ins to buy medicine, and once he reached the ins, Ye Zhizhou would have already gone back to the border. He then simply waited at the border, but in the end, even after driving away waves after waves of enemy attacks he never saw the shadow of Ye Zhizhou, and the moment he left, Ye Zhizhou would eagerly run back to the border.


    Yan Mingyong suspected someone at his side leaked his whereabouts to Ye Zhizhou, after investigating left and right he finally made a move on his own, but Ye Zhizhou was still able topletely evade him. He couldn¡¯t even touch one single hair on his darling''s head.


    So now the man formerly called the Eighth Prince and currently known as King Xiaoyao finally gave up trying to catch person. He earnestly went back to the capital and began brushing up his parents-inw''s good opinion of him, he also sent one gifts after another to the border.


    One more year passed. The discontented and sulky brat Yan Mingyong of the past had slowly matured into a handsomely built youn¡­. Eh, no, beautiful young man standing at<em><span> eight chi</em>. The longer Ye Zhizhou was away the shorter his words became. Later, the emperor visited him but Yan Mingyong sped his book the entire time and no words came out of his mouth. Emperor Yan swore at him, saying he was an unfilial son.


    The remaining princes still secretly fought against each other, however they all had a tacit agreement to leave Yan Mingyong out of it. This man, who loved one man more than a whole country and held control over a strange army of private soldiers, they couldn''t afford to provoke him, and they had no need to start with him. What was important to them was to make the most of the situation now and strengthen their own forces.


    The people of the capital were very interested about King Xiaoyao''s love story. Year after year gossips would spread and they even were more concerned about the day Zhen Guo''s second son would return than the King was.


    With the arrival of the new year Ye Zhizhou who had enough excitement outside finally returned to the capital city. He stopped by a vige a few kilometers away from the city gate, watching a beggar huddled up on the side of the road with a somewhatplicated expression.


    On the night of seventh prince''s rebellion, An Chengjie was caught by Lei baofei, but heter sneaked away taking advantage of the chaos. Ye Zhizhou had always been looking for him but didn''t expect toe across him like this at the foot of the capital city.


    "Only I can transmigrate¡­. Only me alone, just me¡­.." A beggar of unknown age muttered to himself, his eyes looked unfocused as his scarred hands pawed the ground aimlessly. His fingernails were purple and he looked very strange.


    Ye Zhizhou sighed. He dismounted and walked up to the beggar, but he didn''t know what he should do with the man. These few years he would often wonder if he was too excessive in blocking the protagonist''s road. If he had given him a leeway so he could still climb up, would the protagonist not be a paranoid madman who sets fire and nts bombs?


    Unfortunately those were all what-ifs, what he should and shouldn''t do had already been done. Before, he had been curious if the other man had made him out as a fellow transmigrator and about that explosion near Chuan Yue¡­. He found out soon after that Yan Mingyong had used the rumours to trick An Chengjie into believing Chuan Yue''s owner had died in that explosion to shift his attention away from An Chengle.


    The beggar lying down on the ground finally noticed the man standing before him. He tilted his head a bit and watched him.. before fearfully crawling up and curling into himself. He hoarsely shrieked, "Ghost! It''s a ghost! Don''t haunt me, I didn''t mean to kill you! I didn''t mean to kill you! Go away.. Go away!"


    Ye Zhizhou halted and hesitated, then, he stuffed Tongtian''s antidote pill into a bag of rations he was carrying and left it in front of An Chengjie. He heard that the seventh prince poisoned An Chengjie at that time. Looking at his appearance now, the poison in him must not have been cleared out yet¡­. He hoped this antidote was not toote.


    Ye Zhizhou looked back at the man gorging on the rations as he mounted his horse. Thinking of his own status, he whipped his horse and paced away from An Chengjie.

 Chapter 41

    As soon as Ye Zhizhou stepped across the Zhen Guo residence''s threshold, Yan Mingyong had climbed the wall from the neighbouring pce.


    Hearing the sound of door being pushed open Ye Zhizhou gathered his wet hair and called out, "Is that Changsun? The water is too hot, carry a bit of cold water in."


    The footsteps paused at the door. There was a sound of the door closing, then footsteps walking over, going around the screen.


    "Hm? Didn''t I tell you to get cold water?" Ye Zhizhou turned, puzzled.


    He was startled by the tall unfamiliar man who stood behind him and intuitively shrank back into the bathtub. He sshed the bathwater at the man and hardened his tone, "Who are you!"


    Yan Mingyong wiped the water from his face then eyed Ye Zhizhou''s face carefully, he also stole nces at the ce under the water. Heughed, "Very good , Le''er couldn''t even recognise me now."


    Le''er? Except for his family members only one person called him this¡­ Ye Zhizhou was shocked. His eyes opened wide watching the beautiful man with his peerless grace, exquisite appearance and cold temperament.


    "You¡­ You''re Mingyong?" Is this the gene mutation caused by puberty? <em><span>This height is too tall..</em> and how did that gorgeous face grow up to look this cold-hearted?


    "Le''er." Yan Mingyong bent over and caressed his cheeks, his fingers slowly trailed down his neck to his vicle but stopped just before they touched the dangerous spots. "So you like to let peoplee in when you''re bathing, hm?" His slender fingers lightly touched the protruding points.


    Ye Zhizhou trembled, all the fine hairs from his neck to his back stood on its ends, he hurriedly grasped the other man''s hands. He gazed deeply into Yan Mingyong''s eyes with a sincere expression, "Mingyong, long time no see, I missed you so much!"


    "Really." Yan Mingyong''s tone and facial expression were quiet and<em><span> almost</em> t, his mouth had<em><span> a bit</em> of a smile on. His slender fingers slowly retracted and gripped Ye Zhizhou''s hands in turn, he continued to approach him, breathing right in his face. "Did you enjoy evading me all these four years¡­?"


    He''s done for! Grown-up Yan Mingyong seemed more dangerous. He gulped and quietly shifted backwards.


    Yan Mingyong''s gaze suddenly deepened. He gripped his hand and dragged him from the water. One hand perched on the waist while the other released hand moved towards the bend of his legs, firmly holding him and carrying the naked Ye Zhizhou out of the water.


    Ye Zhizhou''s mind went nk. It''s the princess carry! This is challenging the limits of embarrassment!


    "Put me down!" He struggled hard, his hand pushed at Yan Mingyong''s arm. He didn''t think the slender looking man''s arm would be packed with muscles ¡ª he was very strong and didn''t budge from being pushed! Just what did this brat eat all these years? He really misses the sickly boy who he could spank at will!


    "Behave a little." Yan Mingyong didn''t care for Ye Zhizhou''s struggles at all. His stretched-out hand across Ye Zhizhou''s back could still pat his bottom. Yan Mingyong walked towards the door, "We marry tonight."


    "No! I won''t ept this!"


    "Then, to the bridal room." Yan Mingyong was still such a good talker after he grew up.


    "That''s even more uneptable!"


    "Le''er." Yan Mingyong came to a stop. He looked down to him with a deep gaze that had a trace of frailty, "Do you not like me anymore?"


    Ye Zhizhou stopped struggling. His head hung low guiltily and he turned quieter, "It, it''s not like that. It''s always been you who I like¡­." He had gone out to have fun and evaded the troublesome kid for four years, now that he thinks about it that was a bit too much¡­.


    "Mm, I also like you." Yan Mingyong started to smile, heid Ye Zhizhou on the bed and pressed him down. A sort of exuberance leaked out from him even while the wide ck robes still covered half of his body, "So into the bridal room first."


    Ye Zhizhou then realised he was duped. He wanted to run but was quickly suppressed, gradually the struggle faded into entangling of limbs, the fearful cries dissipated and ambiguous groans rose.


    An Chengsheng, who had happily rushed over to see his little brother with his newest poem collection, paused at the door. He turned away with aplicated expression, sadly hanging his head. After he''s grown there''s no more room for big brother, ah¡­.


    Ye Zhizhou was finally allowed out of bed three dayster, after which their wedding was held promptly. Ye Zhizhou moved from the bed in the Zhen Guo residence to the bed in Yan Mingyong''s kingly residence next door, living out a<em><span> decadent life</em> drunk on pleasures.


    A yearter the people he arranged to take care of An Chengjie sent him word that the remaining poison in the man''s body was all flushed out. His mind had regained its rity, but due to the poison being left in his body for too long he had lost a portion of his memory.


    Three yearster, An Chengjie settled down with his own small house in a vige a half-month distance from the capital city. He opened a small bookstore and got together with an honest local businessman. From then on his life gradually steadied.


    Like this, several years passed. Emperor Yan passed away, the third prince who stood above all his brothers ascended the throne. Yan Mingyong immediately took off with Ye Zhizhou to a fief and they lived as its local tyrant, spending their days true to the two words "free and unfettered".


    Decadester, Ye Zhizhouid in Yan Mingyong''s arms weakly. He sighed as he grasped his lover''s hands, "This time I''m finally leaving before you.. But how will you be, I don''t want to leave you alone¡­"


    When his lover left him first he could directly leave for the next world to look for him again, but this time he was leaving before him. What should the man who was left behind do for the rest of his years? Moreover his lover is truly stubborn to his bones in this life.


    "Sleep if you''re tired." Yan Mingyong''s hand covered his eyes, he bowed down and kissed Ye Zhizhou¡¯s forehead, his expression was serene without a hint of sorrow. "<em><span>I will soon be with you.</em>"<sup>1</sup>


    His vision gradually blurred. Whatever sounds entering his ears faded away. Ye Zhizhou didn''t get to hear his lover''sst few words before he sank into the darkness.


    [No signs of life left. Preparing to transfer the soul. This is the end for the Beginner Practice mode. Initiating the Official Mission.]


    [Matching the world¡­¡­ World matchpleted. All rewards had been sent.]


    [Begin transferring the soul.]


    The small mirror in Ye Zhizhou''s waist pocket shook. It crushed into powder and dispersed into thin air as if it had never existed in the first ce.


    Yan Mingyong moved the hand heid on his love''s face. He hugged him close for a moment before getting up. He held his consort up with some difficulty and took him outside. "Servants! Ready the carriage, head to the tomb!"


    De''an''s sessor Huaizhou watched the aged King Xiaoyao enter the tomb whilst embracing his consort and tearfully closed off the entrance to the tomb. He kneeled down and knocked his head to the ground several times, he wouldn¡¯t get up for a long time.


    From today onwards, the House of Xiaoyao is no more.


    Ye Zhizhou crawled up with an aching body.


    His consciousness was still at the moment before his death where he held his lover''s hand so he was incoherent and couldn¡¯t pull himself together yet.


    "Snap out of it Liu Chen, run! Watch out, behind you!"


    Following that shout a heavy stench of decay came from behind him. Ye Zhizhou''s body had been trained from his time at the border and from Yan Mingyong''s martial training, he rolled away almost purely on instinct. He managed to miss a foul smelling some-thing that pounced on him. He looked back and saw a half-rotting corpse, stopped in ce by an icicle piercing into its body. The corpse was only three steps away from himself. It looked utterly hideous and nauseating.


    Wei Xu retracted his ability and emerged from behind the shelves. Seeing Ye Zhizhou who had fallen down on his back, his eyes shed a hint of disgust. He picked up the supplies on the ground and said impatiently, "Run out if you don''t want to be zombie meat! You can''t even handle this much, don''t beg me to bring you next time!"


    The pretty guy who called out to him ran up to them. He anxiously helped him up and pulled him out of the supermarket, all the while speaking hushedly, "Liu Chen, don''t run around again. There are more zombies here and you have no ability. It''s better to act with everyone. They cleared the doorway already, let''s go."


    Ye Zhizhou passively followed him out, frowning deeply as his eyes swept over the men gathering supplies and the rotting corpses chasing them.


    These walking corpses¡­ zombies?


    <strong>Roar¡ª</strong>


    "Not good! High level zombies upstairs are on the move. Run, run!" Wei Xu''s face changed sharply. He kept up ice walls and earth walls with his otherpanions, blocking the low-leveled zombies while supporting his woundedrade to run. He picked up his steps and ran to the truck parked outside.


    The delicate young man pulling Ye Zhizhou trembled with fear, he staggered and almost fell but Ye Zhizhou grabbed his arm and supported him. He discovered a gaping wound on the other man''s leg and threw him on his back without so much as a word, dashing to the truck that was right in front of him.


    "Ee? No, Liu Chen put me down, I can run myself. You''re not physically strong, I¡ª"


    "Shut up!" Ye Zhizhou interrupted his speech. The air was thick with the smell of decay. He spread out his spiritual force to cover the fleeing people and took the steel pipe that youth was carrying, plunging it into the head of an iing zombie. He reached the truck and leaned sideways to drop the delicate man inside.


    Ye Zhizhou pushed him further in, "Climb in!" The first impression of this h?llish world is way too stimting!


    Apanion in the truck pulled the young man into the truck but went around Ye Zhizhou and went down to support their otherpanions behind him.


    Ye Zhizhou''s hands was still extended in midair. He looked back at the buff bald man who avoided him¡­. Okay if you don¡¯t want to help, brother, but why roll your eyes at me?


    The young man from before saw this and went to pull him up, he looked awkward as he quietly exined, "Brother Wang is like that, don''t mind him, Liu Chen. Come up, brother Wei and other ability users are taking care of the rear, we have to get in first so we don¡¯t dy them."


    He turned his gaze back to the young man pulling his hand up. On the truck, he wiped his face as he watched the rush of attacking zombies.


    This world seems rather diseased¡­


    The truck raced away after they had shaken off those zombies. Ye Zhizhou sat in one corner and pretended to be resting. One of his hands sneaked into his front pocket and poked at a small old mirror. He spoke in his mind, "Tongtian, the plot data."


    The worn-out mirror shook and disyed a screen.


    The protagonist of this world is called Xu Yi. Before the apocalypse, he had been an ordinary college sophomore. He had awakened healing and spatial abilities at the beginning of the apocalypse. His space had a Spiritual Spring capable of washing the meridian and cutting the marrow as well as a Spiritual Field which could speed up the growth of nts. This protagonist''s golden finger was simply going against the natural order.<sup>2</sup>


    <em><span>Washing meridians and cutting marrows?</em><sup>3</sup>


    He poked the little mirror again, "Tongtian, other people''s space are more useful than the one you gave me. See, it can wash out body''s impurities. Look at you being so stingy."


    The small mirror shook more violently. The screen whizzed away and turned into a beam of light that drilled into the space in his hand. The bright light shed, his sight went ck for one second and the next second the scenery in front of him changed from a mottled freight car into a bright blue sky and green grasses,<em><span> a springtime paradise</em>.


    "Where¡­ is this?"

 Chapter 42

    Zixu sanctuary was very big. Near him was arge field of flowers, in the distance were ovepping mountains, to the left of the fields was a winding brook and to its right was an exquisite two-storey bamboo house. A yard lined with bamboo fences in front of the house and to the back was arge bamboo forest.


    He bent down and picked up an unknown flower, rubbing it between his fingers and wetting his hand with the flower''s water. A light fragrance of the nts wafted quietly. He didn''t know if he imagined it, but he felt his mind cleared up a lot from smelling the sweet scent. He walked to the bamboo house and pushed open the wooden fence, when he reached the house he tried pushing the door but couldn''t get it to open.


    [The host has insufficient authority. The mountain abode is closed and cannot be entered for a while,]


    "¡­." His mouth twisted and he took back his hand. Suddenly he thought of a problem, "When you took me inside, aren¡¯t the people outside scared to death?"


    [The sanctuary is linked with the soul and can be entered using the spirit.]


    He felt reassured. He walked to the small river by the flower field and checked his reflection on the water. Short ck hair, dark brown eyes, straight nose, thin lips that tilted upwards¡­. Sure enough, still as handsome as his original self!


    After basking in this appearance for a while he sent himself out. He opened his eyes to the sight of the freight train again. No one in the car noticed anything abnormal going on in this corner, he shifted his posture and continued pulling out story data from the system, reading it through.


    Xu Yi''s awakened a support type ability, so in the early days of the apocalypse he had some difficulties getting by. Xu Yi did not have it easier until he came across male lead number one, his senior Qiu Xiangyu, and formed a small team. Qiu Xiangyu had the metal ability and he was originally a university student studyingputer science, he had both the brain and the brawn. The strength of their team was not too bad.


    However, good times don¡¯tst for long. After a month of peaceful days, the small team made apse of judgement, they entered a mountain resort packed with zombies and were brutally besieged. Qiu Xiangyu got injured when protecting Xu Yi and couldn''t run. The rest of the team abandoned them because of that.


    Xu Yi was angry but couldn''t do anything, he could only carry the injured Qiu Xiangyu on his back and hide in one cabin in the resort. He slowly treated him with his weak healing at that time.


    The two endured by depending on the food from the space as they nursed their wounds. The silver lining is that both of their abilities went up a grade, their strength sharply rose and after their wounds healed they both broke out from the encirclement. They ran into male lead number two, Wei Xu, who was stranded in the resort like them.


    The three quickly teamed up. They sessfully escaped and headed to H city''s Annan base as per Wei Xu''s suggestion. He said he had some connections there and they would be able to ask about their family''s whereabouts. Xu Yi and Qiu Xiangyu talked it over before quickly agreeing.


    The three of them reached the base half a monthter and Wei Xu immediately took them to the base''s leader, Liu Tao. Only then did the two of them realised Wei Xu''s status was not so simple.


    Liu Tao received them with great warmth. He arranged for rooms to stay in, gave them some supplies and even personally took them on a tour around the base. The three were very satisfied with the base''s environment and decided to stay there for the time being.


    With his strength, Wei Xu quickly had his own small squad in the base. Once when he went out to gather supplies with his squad he found a hidden arsenal, which made him the biggest leader in the base aside from the base leader himself. Xu Yi was generously provided for by Wei Xu and Qiu Xiangyu with the zombie''s crystal cores and he upgraded his ability level after level. He soon became an indispensable part of the team.


    The feelings between the three grew along with their increase in strength, their rtionship became more and more ambiguous. Liu Chen, son of Liu Tao, was secretly in love with Wei Xu since childhood; Once he discovered that Wei Xu was interested in Xu Yi he grew angry and very jealous of him. He abandoned the support work Liu Tao arranged for him at the base and insisted on following Wei Xu''s small team out to gather materials. He also provoked Xu Yi; telling him he''s a good-for-nothing who only sits back and enjoys his teammate''s hard work.


    These words made Wei Xu very angry with him. Wei Xu wanted to drive Liu Chen away, but because Liu Tao who was his elder had always pleaded with him he didn''t have the heart to do it. He suppressed his anger in his heart but he grew to detest Liu Chen more and more.


    The next supply run Liu Chen pushed Xu Yi into a crowd of zombies as he had nned. He then lied to Wei Xu that Xu Yi ran to the other direction. Wei Xu and the others in the team believed him and searched the opposite direction, naturally, they couldn''t find anything.


    To have their most beloved person disappear made Wei Xu and Qiu Xiangyu suffer and full of despair. The two men never gave up looking for him. On the other hand, Xu Yi who hid from the zombies in his space was soon rescued by the odd and entric third male lead, a doctor named Liang Ping. He was taken to the small house Liang Ping was hiding in. Because he was very grateful for the other man''s help, Xu Yi convinced Liang Ping who will run out of supplies soon to go back with him to the Annan base and join his team with Wei Xu and Qiu Xiangyu. Liu Chen''s vicious action was exposed by Xu Yi when he returned. Wei Xu was so angry he almost strangled Liu Chen to death but fortunately Liu Tao arrived in time to save the<em><span> cannon fodder¡¯s life</em>.


    Afterwards, Wei Xu and his small group decided to leave the Annan base for B City. On the night of departure there was a sudden zombie outbreak that destroyed the Annan base, resulting in Liu Tao''s death and Liu Chen''s disappearance. Xu Yi was separated from Qiu Xiangyu and their group and while all alone he met male lead number four on the road to B city, Yan Zheng, a special forces soldier. At this point all the four male leads would have all appeared.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the timeline and found out the plot had progressed to the point where Liu Chen was going to push Xu Yi into the zombie crowd. He heaved a sigh, still okay, right now there were still two male leads who hadn¡¯t encountered the protagonist. The mission shouldn''t be that difficult to do.


    Flipping through the data for the body he''s using, his mouth twisted, so that''s why the name Liu Chen was familiar to him ¡ª this body was Liu Chen''s. The attractive guy from before called him that name, too.


    Howe he gets a cannon fodder role in every world¡­..


    He skimmed over the story of the protagonist and his harem members'' growing feelings and skipped to the end of the story, looking for the things that caused the world destruction.


    At B City, a traitor in the team let out the secret of Xu Yi''s spring, attracting the greedy eyes of B city''s higher-ups. Wei Xu would have already joined one family in B City by then, he had some say in the matters of the B city base so the higher-ups of B city didn''t dare to make a move on this coveted spiritual spring. There was one exception though ¡ª the youngest son of the Zhong family of medics, Zhong Qiu.


    The mad scientist Zhong Qiu had been studying the zombie antivirus ever since the world fell into an apocalypse. He had made some progress, but he had been stuck at thest final step. Xu Yi''s spring was very powerful and would be very valuable for his research. Zhong Qiu found out about Xu Yi and captured him, keeping him in his researchb and making the male leads furious. They broke into the research institute to take Xu Yi back and in the process Zhong Qiu tragically died. The only genius capable of making a vine for zombie virus vanished from the world.


    "¡­¡­"


    Several decadester the base of hope that Xu Yi established with his male leads had be a tiny world on its own, and yet from start to finish they didn''t manage to make a cure for the zombie virus. The protagonist and his male leads died oh so peacefully, leaving the world where zombies rapidly evolved. What followed was tragedy for thest remaining living humans and the world¡¯s destruction.


    ¡­¡­He had nothing to say.


    He switched off the screen and couldn¡¯t calm down for a long time.


    The truck stopped at a small abandoned gas station after ten minutes or so. Wei Xu came up with a big bag in hand and threw it inside the freight car, saying "Eat first, I don¡¯t think we''ll reach the base by night. We''ll stay for the night. Everyone should be careful."


    Everyone nodded, the strong man with a bald head from before beginning to distribute the food, once more he gave Ye Zhizhou a disdainful look.


    The dinner is a package of biscuits and a half bottle of water. It tasted like wax to him, he couldn¡¯t grow to like it. He had lived lifetimes of a young master''sfortable life, now that his living standard dropped drastically he needed to re-adapt.


    Wei Xu nced at him several times, hesitating, before calling out to him with a dark face, "Liu Chen,e with me!" and he walked towards an offroad vehicle behind the truck.


    Ye Zhizhou was somewhat baffled being called out by him, recalling the plot he brushed the crumbs off his fingers then chucked his remaining water at the pretty guy. He got down from the truck as the bald man was looking on with a fierce re.


    The vehicle door was open and you can vaguely make out a person lying down at the back. Wei Xu stood by the car door, when he caught sight of Ye Zhizhou, he bent inside the car and tossed a small pouch at the young man. "For you, else you''llin to uncle that I bullied you when we get back."


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the mini sausages in the pouch andughed, "So stingy. Getting a beating because you bully me is just when we were kids. You actually still think about it now, that''s all in the past." He counted the mini sausages and nodded in satisfaction, "Enough to share with everyone in the truck. Thanks, brother Wei."


    He turned to go as he finished talking, not lingering near Wei Xu at all.


    Wei Xu was stunned by this natural indifference from him. As he looked at the other¡¯s dirty face he recalled their childhood ¡ª getting beaten whenever Liu Chen would tell on him. He felt quite awkward and his heart''s loathing somehow faded. He gruffly called out to him then took out another bag and tossed it over, "We have to take shifts guarding. You''re teamed with me and we''re up first. If you mess up again I''ll toss you out to the zombies!"


    The pouch urately hit Ye Zhizhou''s chest. The original body is as weak as a little chick and the physical strength of ability users are greater, Ye Zhizhou fell back two steps from the hit. He rubbed his chest, when he saw the choctes in the new pouch his smile grew brighter, "Brother Wei is the most generous. Thank you ah." In the apocalypse, a small sized calories replenishing foods such as chocte were very popr.


    Wei Xu''s fingers twitched seeing Ye Zhizhou getting hit back by the force, but he ignored his thanks and got inside the car, shutting the door behind him.


    Ye Zhizhou didn¡¯t care about it. He returned to the back of the truck and divided the food with everyone but deliberately went around the bald man, giving more chocte and sausage to the pretty guy instead.


    The bald man huffed with his nose angrily and the younger man quickly shared some of his chocte and sausage to him. Ye Zhizhou chuckled at that, making the bald man even angrier.


    In the middle of the night, Ye Zhizhou was shaken awake by Wei Xu, he rubbed his face to clear his head. He followed Wei Xu to climb up the truck. Ye Zhizhou took the machine gun handed to him and fiddled with it. This is the first time in his many lives that he touched this type of weapon, it''s quite a novel experience.


    "Can you use it?" Wei Xu who sat two arms away from him suddenly started a conversation. He also held a gun in one of his hands.


    "Probably a little bit." He was reading instructions on how to use it on the screen while he slowly familiarised himself with the gun''s parts so he threw out a perfunctory answer.


    Wei Xu couldn''t adapt to Ye Zhizhou''s cold attitude today, his brows wrinkled, he started saying, "Xiao Chen, I hope you understand that I only see you as a little brother. I don¡¯t have any other thoughts towards you, don¡¯t make things difficult for Xiao Yi anymore."


    "Mm. No problem." He held up his gun and aimed it to the open, he roughly knew what to do now. He tilted his head and smiled at Wei Xu, "It''s the apocalypse, staying alive is more important than love. Don''t worry, brother Wei. I won''t trouble you in the future. As for Xu Yi, I really have to apologise to him." The first step in the mission: clear his name in front of the second male lead.


    Wei Xu watched the easily smiling Ye Zhizhou under the moonlight, he felt his heart blocked by some unknown thing. Wei Xu closed with a very stiff "Good that you know," and moved his gaze away, concentrating on the night duty.<hr>


    <span><sup id="fn1">[T/N] Uhhh¡­. did it in a hurry, only thing I can remember being significant is Zhongqiu being Mid-Autumn Festival because that made me chuckle and me being unsure for the bullying part, thanks to Joui from Exiled Rebels and Kotoni from Chaleuria, they helped me with that part!

    have fun guessing who is Ye Zhizhou¡¯s lover in this arc~

 Chapter 43

    At three in the morning, Ye Zhizhou sensed some movements in his spiritual. The creeping sleepiness instantly disappeared and he sat up looking far towards the darkness in the distance. He sent out more spiritual force to probe around the area with movements.


    ording to the original plot, a group of level three and four speed type zombies wille to this small gas station before dawn. Wei Xu''s small team entered a hard battle and the original Liu Chen used this exact moment when everyone was distracted to take Xu Yi, who was hidden in the back of the offroad vehicle, and push him into a crowd of zombies.


    As his mind went through the data from the system he nced at the car quietly parked at a ce not far from them, but very quickly took back his gaze. If he guessed correctly, the one he vaguely saw sleeping at the back of the car in the afternoon would be the protagonist, Xu Yi. Now the zombies came attacking and while the original Liu Chen wanted to harm Xu Yi, Ye Zhizhou needed to carefully protect him so he won''t be separated from his group and meet the third male lead Liang Ping.


    Wei Xu was rmed by Ye Zhizhou''s sudden movements and tightened the grip on his gun, looking over Ye Zhizhou with a frown, "What is it?"


    Ye Zhizhou made a wordless gesture and carefully retracted his spiritual force, speaking solemnly, "A group of high level speed type zombies are approaching, we need to move out."


    Wei Xu''s expression changed at this, he quickly used his ability to feel around them. When he didn''t find anything he put down his gun, exasperated, "Aren''t you too tense? Alright you can sleep, I can keep watch on my own."


    If he sleeps at this moment he might never wake up again.


    "Those zombies are about three kilometres away but they''ll reach here soon because of their speed, we don¡¯t have time to waste. Wake everyone up!" Done with talking Ye Zhizhou jumped down the roof and went to the supply car. He shook the pretty guy who slept on the outside, "Wake everyone up, high level zombies iing, we have to move out now."


    Wei Xu was angered by his sudden movements. He followed him down and hissed, "Liu Chen what are you doing!? Everyone is spent! You can''t just wake them<em><span> on a whim</em>!¡±


    The young man heard Wei Xu''s words right after he woke up and was confused and unsure of what should be done. Ye Zhizhou urged him to wake people up again with a push then turned the other way towards the off-road vehicle, paying no heed to Wei Xu.


    "D¡Ämn! You are so¡­." Wei Xu was close to blowing off his top. He quickly followed, hands out to pull the other man away, "Don¡¯t disturb Xiao Yi, he needs a lot of rest after his upgrade! Come back here!"


    Ye Zhizhou nimbly dodged his grasp. His right hand swiftly pulled the car door open, nudging Qiu Xiangyu at the front seat and only glimpsed the dimly lit figure nketed at the backseat, "Wake up! Get ready to leave!"


    Wei Xu looked stunned at his hands for a moment, seeing that he just woke up Qiu Xiangyu he strode up to drag Ye Zhizhou away, "Liu Chen you''re too much! You just told me you won''t bother Xiao Yi anymore, what are you doing now?! I already said I don¡¯t like you!"


    <em><span>This bird-brain!</em>


    Ye Zhizhou had trouble breathing because of the tight grip. He struck at Wei Xu''s hands on his waist, "Let me go! Just when did you see me bother your precious Xiao Yi?! Let go! Those zombies will be here soon, we have to leave!"


    The woken up Qiu Xiangyu puzzledly watched them struggle. When he heard these words, on reflex he used his ability to probe around. His face hardened and he roared, "Get in the car! There are really zombiesing!


    The people on the side of the truck were already woken up by themotion, now, hearing Qiu Xiangyu''s shout they sprung up. Ye Zhizhou took advantage of Wei Xu''s stunned moment and broke free from his hold, kicking Wei Xu towards the car while he ran towards the truck, "Go! Start the car!"


    As his words fell the harsh roar of the high levelled zombies sounded nearby. The people in the truck didn''t dawdle and started the engine. They started driving away. The young man anxiously shouted at the driver, "Don¡¯t go yet! Liu Chen hasn''t boarded!"


    The bald man covered up the youth¡¯s mouth and took him further inside the truck. The truck sped away leaving Ye Zhizhou with a face full of exhaust smoke. He could only watch all that happened helplessly.


    The heck? I helped you escape quickly and you scurry off like this..?


    The roars of the zombies were apanied by a closer sound of a starting engine. He turned to see Wei Xu stretching half of his body out from the driver''s seat and yelling, "Come up! I''ll go slowly so get in this car!"


    You finally showed some conscience!


    Those hideous corpses were close enough that he could make them out with his eyes, and perhaps attracted by the sound and smell of humans, they rushed over to the car in waves. Ye Zhizhou nced at them from the corner of his eyes then turned back because he couldn¡¯t look at them anymore, he grabbed the car door''s handle preparing to perform some extreme car stunt.


    He was about to get in the car when the bundled person in the back seat moved. The young and beautiful face that poked out of the nket looked half asleep, he asked while stretching out his body, "Why is it so noisy?"


    It was as if everything was in slow motion. Ye Zhizhou stared wide-eyed at the young man wriggling out his nket and those little gs above his head. He watched him stretch out, his bare feet extend to.. kick his right hand that held the door handle.


    Why does a support ability user have this much strength! He heard his bone dislocate and the pain followed. He let go and in a blink of an eye the off-road vehicle had raced far away.


    His vision spun. He fell to the ground on his back with a thud and looked up,ing face to face with a rotting face and some disgusting liquid that was dripping from its hollow eye sockets.


    ¡­.This cruel world!


    Wei Xu and Qiu Xiangyu were stupefied from thatpletely unexpected development. Qiu Xiangyu''s head whipped back to Xu Yi and his baffled statepletely altered his tone, "Why do you wake up now?!"


    His shout stunned Xu Yi who looked at his own foot as if realising something, but Xu Yi had a guileless expression as he replied, "You woke me up with your noise, ah. Why is the car door open? Oh right, did I kick something just now? Why are you driving away in the middle of the night? The car light will attract zombies." He closed the car door tightly as he said these.


    That sound of dislocating bones echoed in Wei Xu''s mind, his powers unconsciously seeped out making cold winds blow inside the car. Wei Xu braked with a scowl and hit the steering wheel, "We have to go back for Liu Chen. He has no ability, facing those zombies alone is the same as death!"


    "Liu Chen?" Xu Yi frowned and his face revealed a bit of his loathing, "What''s up with him now? So annoying. Don¡¯t bring him next time, he''ll hold us back."


    "Shut up! If it wasn''t for him we''d have died there!" Wei Xu pounded on the steering wheel, recalling what he''d seen in the rear view mirror his jaw clenched. He gripped the steering wheel until his hands turned white, "It''s all my fault, I should''ve called for a retreat when he warned me!"


    Xu Yi was taken aback because this was the first time Wei Xu ever treated him this roughly. He hung his head disgruntledly.


    "No, we can''t go back!" Qiu Xiangyu''s tone wasposed. He restrained Wei Xu and pulled the wheel towards himself to stop him from making a turn, "There are a dozen more of them lurking nearby. You saw it too¡ª a zombie attacked him right after he fell. He might''ve¡­.. We can''t go back! We definitely can''t fight off those zombies with just us!"


    Wei Xu was furious, "So we should just watch him die!?"


    "Yes! We can only watch!" Qiu Xiangyu squeezed into the driver''s seat and took control of the steering wheel, making the car drive away.


    Wei Xu struggled harder and harder ring with wide eyes like a raging lion. "Qiu Xiangyu! F¦Ìck off!"


    The strength of a metal ability user is notparable to other ability users ¡ª Wei Xu couldn''t break free of his restraint at all. He got more and more anxious and couldn''t help looking to Xu Yi, "Xiao Yi, quickly help me!"


    Xu Yi had roughly understood what had happened from their talk, he halted for a moment but then said firmly, "Brother Wei, those are high-leveled zombies that we can''t fight off even with all our strength. Liu Chen likes you so much, he definitely won''t want you to risk your life for him¡­. Brother Wei, just stop struggling."


    Wei Xu couldn''t believe it, he looked at Xu Yi as if he was seeing him for the first time. He was appalled, "This is someone''s life! You can actually say that sort of thing.. You¡­."


    [Probability of Wei Xu falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 80%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    "<em><span>Persist my ¦Áss</em>!" Ye Zhizhou cursed as he turned to avoid another attack. He strengthened the spiritual force around his body, running wildly while lighting up explosives from his space and tossing them behind him. "They chase after scent and sound, Tongtian, any pills to hide my <em><span>smell</em>?! I can''t run anymore!"


    A beam of light containing the pill flew into his mouth. He quickly swallowed it and took a sharp turn around a corner. He chucked a few more explosives behind him. He bent down on the ground, bated his breath.


    These explosives were made for fun in hisst life so the force was not great, they could only halt the zombies'' movements. Ten or so secondster the footsteps got closer. He stayed put until the footsteps pulled away very quickly.


    He finally threw them off¡­. His tense body rxed on the ground, turning soft. He breathed out in a hurry. The wound he got from a bomb hurt, his dislocated wrist recklessly tossed things around and hasn''t healed at all, still hurting a lot. He ran too fast and lost one of his shoes so his feet''s condition now ought to be a horrible sight to see. "Tongtian, let''s talk. Let''s get a more peaceful world next time, alright?"


    The mirror in his pocket vibrated. A beam of light shone in front of him, a small bottle of pills contained within it.


    "What''s this?"


    The little bottle floated down lightly into his hand, then the screen lit up: [Top grade cut medicine.]


    "¡­..You''re such a <em><span>thoughtful </em>system."


    The screen flickered, appearing very bashful.


    The sun crawled up, faintly there were footsteps close by. Ye Zhizhou who was peacefully sleeping by relying on the<em><span> scent hiding pill</em> stirred then woke up shortly.<sup>1</sup>


    Sounds that came from far before suddenly sounded right next to his ears. A pale, expressionless face appeared within his vision, hoarse voice came out from the man''s parched lips, "Hey, got any food?"


    Ye Zhizhou''s lips pulled up when he saw the other''s long fringe and ck framed sses which covered therger half of his face. He took out an apple from his space and tossed it over to the man. "That, um¡­. you want to follow me back to my base?" A doctor''s white coat, hair that hadn''t been tidied for a year, ck framed sses, coupled with a blunt personality bordering on being unpleasant and speed type ability¡­.. Great, the third male lead Liang Ping had actually met him first.


    Liang Ping caught it and wolfed down the apple. He seemed to have got a new lease on life after that bite. He came over and looked deeply at Ye Zhizhou, asking softly, "Your base¡­. does it have any food?"


    "Yes! Follow me and your three meals a day are guaranteed!"


    "I''ll go with you." Liang Ping continued to nibble on his apple, resolutely<em><span> selling</em> himself over.


    Ye Zhizhou was speechless. A feeling of guilt was born in his heart, he felt like he just<em><span> abducted</em> a simple-minded child.<hr>

 Chapter 44

    Ye Zhizhou followed Liang Ping to the remote little house he lived in. They casually packed up and went down to look for a car that had some gas left. Ye Zhizhou took his newly abducted littlerade on the road back to Annan base. The scent hiding pill was quite useful, the two didn''t meet any zombie along the way. asionally a few would be attracted by the noise of car but they were all speedily taken care of by Liang Ping and his scalpel.


    He watched the other man cut a zombie''s head cleanly in half. The tip of that knife plunged and carved out a piece of transparent crystal core. Liang Ping wiped off the remaining brain matter from the core and passed it over, "For you, payback for food."


    Ye Zhizhou examined the proffered core, his gaze moved from the core to the scalpel in Liang Ping''s hand, the knife seemed made to be extremely sharp.


    "You like this?" Liang Ping followed Ye Zhizhou''s gaze to the knife he was holding, he shook his head, "This is what I exchanged with a metal user, I can''t give it to you." He carefully wiped the scalpel clean and put it back in his coat''s pocket.


    Ye Zhizhou stayed silent as he looked away, he offered the crystal core back to Liang Ping, "I can''t use this thing, take it." He had tried to use the stone but the result was the various forces almost contaminated his spiritual force, the close call really frightened him.


    Liang Ping carefully watched him and took back the crystal. He sat in a posture of little boy who got to sit shotgun and talked monotonously, "You''re really a good person, a fresh apple is worth one crystal core."


    The Zixu space has a mountain filled with wild fruit trees, all of them big and sweet and as free as <em><span>pebbles</em>. Ye Zhizhou felt ufortable with being regarded as a good person. He quietly took out a strawberry and handed it over, speaking in a tone used to coax little children, "Then, you can eat this, it''s a little thing so you don¡¯t need to pay."


    Liang Ping looked at him as though looking at an idiot, but he took the strawberry and carefully put it in his mouth. He said with a hamster cheek, "Strawberries are even harder to exchange with, they''re more valuable than apples, you''re really a good person."


    Okay fine, he is a "good person".


    He took back his hand and rummaged through the provisions he umted for several lifetimes. His heart felt very relieved. Okay, he still had lots of food and can provide for many people! Thank you for the space''s freshness function, this is truly great in an apocalypse!


    One provides the food and the other killed zombies to collect their cores. They went through several cars and spent each one¡¯s gas, they turned the wrong way on their way and spent around five days before finally arriving at Annan base.


    The Annan base used to be a middle school. The school was a rectangr l-like block building and it has two walled fences, one tall and one short. These secure wall fences were reinforced by ability users. With Liu Chen''s face they got through the first wall directly, Ye Zhizhou stopped their car inside and observed around him.


    The first one toe out was father Liu. Ye Zhizhou couldn''t adapt right away when the snow haired middle age man held him, until he called out "Xiao Chen", and Ye Zhizhou recalled his identity from the story data. He was moved to hugging the red-eyed older man back, as well as calling him "dad" softly.


    "It''s good that you''ve returned, very good.. Are you hungry? Dad will go get you some food." Liu Tao released him, but still held his arms and shoulders, checking if he lost weight or if he had any injuries.


    "I''m okay." Although the original Liu Chen had a bad temper and questionable morals he treated his father with respect. In the original plot when the base was infiltrated Liu Tao died saving Liu Chen. Left alone, Liu Chen turnedpletely ck, an irrational man who saw everyone as an enemy who killed his father. Thinking to this point his expression was more grave and he said seriously, "Dad, on the road back I saw some high level zombies slowly gathering. Our base has a dense smell from many human in one ce, they could be grouping up to attack us. We have to evacuate, immediately."


    Hearing it, Liu Tao face changed, he anxiously asked his son, "Really? Are you hurt anywhere?"


    "I always went around those zombies, it''s okay." Ye Zhizhou catingly patted his hand, he looked at Liang Ping on the other side and told a t out lie, "This person beside me is Liang Ping. He was the one to discover zombies assembling together. Hurry and tell the others to get ready to evacuate, it''ll be toote once it''s the evening."


    Liang Ping was surprised by his lie but his expression was too t. None of his internal conflict could be made out, people would only feel that he was mysterious person and wouldn''t be able to make him out.


    The people of the base who was attracted by their talk heard all of that and grew anxious and afraid. Some of them were also disdainful, loudly eximing, "Can his words even be trusted? Is this something new you made up to get attention, Liu Chen? Hahaha, useless people should just stay put, don¡¯t jump around like a fool."


    Liu Tao''s expression shifted at these words, he was about to explode but Wei Xu quickly ran over and spoke first.


    "Where do you put your eyes, talking badly of Xiao Chen!" Wei Xu strode over wrapped with frost and chill. He stood in front of Ye Zhizhou and leveled a fierce look at the people who talked just now, "Liebao squad, what are youining about, you can''t even earn your keep! Hasn''t uncle Liu always cared for all of you?! Don¡¯t forget who¡¯s keeping you fed here!"


    The person who spoke before was intimidated by his re and shrank back, not speaking anymore.


    Wei Xu red at him again in response. He turned to look at Ye Zhizhou and his worry and anxiety red into anger, "You still know toe back! Don¡¯t run around next time, quietly stay with me!


    He clearly didn''t run around at all!


    Ye Zhizhou protested in his head and turned away defiantly, he continued to convince Liu Tao, "Dad, we have to evacuate as soon as possible, I awakened a spatial ability so don¡¯t worry about carrying a lot of materials."


    Liu Tao was pleasantly surprised and also hesitating, "Xiao Chen, you awakened an ability? That''s great¡­ this could be considered a blessing in disguise! But evacuating¡­.." He nced at the faces around him. His expression turned conflicted, "If we take the base''s supplies with us, what about the people here?"


    "Those who want to go to B city too we''ll bring with us, those who don¡¯t want to, we''ll leave behind some supplies here for them." He purposefully raised his voice,paring the situation seriously, "The weakest in that zombie group is level three, while our base''s doesn''t have many ability users. We have a bit of ammunition but we can''t afford to waste them. We have to evacuate, the sooner the better!"


    The lowest level is three?! Theplexion of the people hearing their conversation turnedpletely pale.


    The rage Wei Xu felt being ignored by Ye Zhizhou dwindled down, he swept his gaze to the many people with their own thoughts and his brows knitted. He ced himself in front of the Liu father and son pair and lowered his voice, "This is not the ce to talk, let''s go inside."


    Ye Zhizhou nced at him, patted Liu Tao to calm him and turned to wave at the quiet wallflower Liang Ping. He went in first, disregarding the base''s rule of a 24 hour wait period.


    Several people gathered in the small ssroom where Wei Xu''s squad usually had their meetings. Ye Zhizhou took out a map from his space, and circled out several ces with a pencil, pointing them out for them to see. "This one was discovered by doctor Liang, we found these other two when we were hurrying back to the base. If you also add in the wave from when I got separated from brother Wei¡­." Connecting them in a line, he pointed to the Annan base which was situated smack in the middle of the encirclement. "If theyplete this circle, our base would bepletely surrounded. No one would be able to escape even if they want to."


    Liu Tao and Wei Xu had deep serious expressions. Ye Zhizhou looked back and forth between them. "So, will you evacuate?"


    "Alright." Liu Tao was the first to agree, "I''ll ask Old Li to note the remaining supplies."


    Wei Xu hesitated but then nodded, "I also agree, but I need to discuss it with our team first."


    Ye Zhizhou raised one brow, "You can slowly discuss since I don¡¯t n to go with you. That squad of yours is too dangerous, I''m afraid I¡¯ll die at the hand of myrades instead of zombies."


    Liang Ping who was silent since the beginning eyed Wei Xu, his body tensed slightly and he took hold of the scalpel in his pocket.


    Liu Tao''s face also changed, he asked his son, "Xiao Chen, what do you mean? Didn''t you get separated from Xiao Xu and the others because of a sudden zombie attack?"


    He didn''t reply and instead looked at Wei Xu with a mocking smile. "Brother Wei, this is what you told my dad? That we got separated?"


    Wei Xu''s expression grew stiff. His jaw tightened and he suddenly lowered his head. "Uncle Liu, I''m sorry I lied to you, and Xiao Chen, I¡­."


    The ssroom¡¯s door was suddenly pushed open. Xu Yi stood just outside, expressionlessly yelling out, "It has nothing to do with brother Wei! It was me, I wasn''t careful and pushed Liu Chen into a crowd of zombies¡­ It was a very hectic at the time, so¡­.. In short it was all my fault, don¡¯t me brother Wei!"


    "Why are you here?" Wei Xu''splexion darkened, he red at Xu Yi, "Who let you listen in on us talking? Get out!"


    Xu Yi stood stiff being yelled at by Wei Xu before anxiously entering the room to exin, "I didn''t mean to eavesdrop, I just heard people outside saying that Liu Chen came back and I wanted to see¡­.."


    "See how I am not dead yet?" Ye Zhizhou couldn''t be patient with their chattering, he cut in while moving his wrist, "Thanks a lot for that kick. Look, I awakened my ability fighting for my life. It''s a spatial ability just like yours," with a shake of his wrist a cluster of grapes appeared on his palms, "and what''s even more fortunate is ites with already grown nts."


    Xu Yi looked like a strangled rooster, he didn''t speak anymore. From the beginning until now his space hadn''t yielded any fruit yet because getting a healthy seed for growing is extremely difficult.


    Ye Zhizhou stuffed the grapes into Liang Ping''s hands and nodded along with his words, "I also awakened a spiritual ability with it. The level, yes, it can roughly scan a ten-something kilometres radius, very convenient."


    He actually awakened the very rare spiritual ability! Such a wide range, too! Xu Yi''s expression twisted in an instant and his hands unconsciously clenched.


    "Xiao¡­ Xiao Chen." Liu Tao''s face grew red in excitement, his hands raised to grasp his son''s arm and he carefully stroke Ye Zhizhou''s head, appearing as though he had no more regrets for the rest of his life, "This is really great.. really.."


    Ye Zhizhou leaned his head sideways and smiled at him. His smile dissipated as he looked at Xu Yi, he said with a cold tone, "So Mr. Xu, thanks for that kick. Who knows whether it was intentional or not; after all, my wrist waspletely dislocated and nearly fractured¡­. But now we need to discuss something important so can I ask you to leave first?"


    Liang Ping who was eating grapes lifted his eyes suspiciously, "Almost fractured? From his kick?"


    Ye Zhizhou nodded and once more took out a peach and stuffed it into his hand.


    Liang Ping''s eyes brightened and hurriedly grasped the peach. He expressed his anger monotonously, "Then I hate him."


    [Probability of Liang Ping falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    When he saw the system''s prompt Ye Zhizhou''s eyes also shone. Male lead number three is so easy to handle, he follows<em><span> the hands</em> that feed him, truly a sweet little angel!


    Wei Xu feltplicated looking on at this harmonious scene of feeding and eating. Xiao Chen who had always stuck close to him was now angry with him and closer with someone else¡­ And the words Xiao Chen said just now¡­¡­


    In front of Wei Xu''s face, Liu Chen pushed him out. He was still in his squad''s meeting room. Xu Yi seemed to have lost control of his own feelings, his words were a bit thoughtless as the fact that Ye Zhizhou had awakened double abilities bothered him, "I really didn''t mean to kick you back then, if you''re angry you can demand my apology, as for evacuating.. The Annan base is very secure¡ª Liu Chen, don¡¯t frighten people. Just because you awakened the spiritual ability doesn''t mean you can predict the future."


    His eyes shifted to Wei Xu, earnestly saying, "Big brother, don¡¯t be led around by the nose because you feel you owed Liu Chen. The squad recently took in new recruits, this time is most crucial to familiarise them, we¡­."


    "New recruits? Who took them in?" A bit of anger seeped into Wei Xu''s eyes. "Who¡¯s the squad leader, me or you guys? Enough, don¡¯t say anymore. Go down and tell the men to prepare to leave. We leave with those who want to go, those who don¡¯t can stay. I''ll only take the supplies I need and you can do what you want with the rest."


    "Brother Wei, you can''t.."


    "Leave." Wei Xu stepped forward. He felt the naive youth that he wanted to protect before had suddenly be a willful and unreasonable person. His ability unconsciously leaked out making the temperature of the room drop. "Don¡¯t make me say it twice."


    Xu Yi was petrified by his expression. He scowled at Ye Zhizhou before turning to leave.


    [Probability of Wei Xu falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 60%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the screen in front of him and whistled inwardly. The love probability actually directly dropped by 20%, he was very satisfied by this unexpected turn of events!

 Chapter 45

    To be able to support the base''s normal day operations Liu Tao must have a lot of resources, and the size of it rendered Ye Zhizhou speechless. The original story didn''t mention what father Liu did before the apocalypse, it only mentioned that the military aristocrat family of Wei was an old friend of his. Looking at the situation now¡­. Liu family might had been in the supermarket business.


    Facts have confirmed it to be true!


    Goods and materials stamped with supermarket seals were neatly stacked in the warehouse. It was guarded by several hundred armed men and twenty or more ability users, even a fly wouldn''t be able to break through. The head of logistics Li Hao slid down a rope from the top of the warehouse. His rough face had a beaming smile, "I heard Xiao Chen awakened an ability? Old Liu, are you taking things out to celebrate this great asion?"


    Liu Tao''s smile rose, he couldn¡¯t help nodding, "That''s for sure! Take out what you want! Xiao Chen awakened a spatial ability and there are fruits in there. We''ll give each person one fruit when the timees, it''d always been hard on everyone guarding the warehouse."


    The guards cheered hearing that there would be fruits. Li Hao smiled wider and said, ''good boy'' as he patted Ye Zhizhou''s shoulder. Ye Zhizhou endured his patting quietly and swept his gaze through the thin faces of those guards, he felt quite moved. Behind these people are huge stacks of food, and yet they eat a strict two meals a day, doing their best to leave more food for the ordinary people in the base.


    After simple greetings everyone went inside to start moving the supplies. Ten minutester the amazed guards followed Ye Zhizhou to the next warehouse. All three warehouses were all cleaned up in a matter of two hours. The highly efficient Li Hao once more patted hard on Ye Zhizhou''s shoulders.


    In the following two days, Liu Tao and Li Hao counted the members who will remain in the base and sorted out the amount to be left behind. On the third day the gate to the base opened up, a line of military trucks lined up to leave, emitting a trail of smoke.


    Wei Xu''s gaze moved from the leaving trucks. He opened the off-road vehicle door with aposed face, leaning out his body towards the team, "Who would like to go with me?"


    Everyone looked at each other then looked to Xu Yi and Qiu Xiangyu. These three were the core of their unit; now, squad leader Wei Xu insisted on leaving, co-leader Qiu Xiangyu was on the fence, while the head of logistics and medics Xu Yi was insisting on staying. Their three leaders were having differing opinions for the first time, making the subordinates feel torn.


    "I''ll go with you!" The good-looking young man was the first to step out and sit in the backseat of the off-road vehicle, not sparing a nce at Xu Yi and Qiu Xiangyu. He didn''t dare to stay in this sort of team after knowing what really happened when Liu Chen fell that day.


    The bald man saw him get in the car and angrily cursed under his breath, he brandished his fists to beat this ''traitor''.


    Wei Xu''s hand raised to meet that fist. His eyes were chilly, "When they board this car they''re already a member of my team. I dare you toy a hand on him!"


    Xu Yi''s face changed. "Brother Wei, what does that mean? Are we not your team members anymore?"


    "You even recruited members without my knowledge and only reported afterwards.. I don¡¯t dare call this team mine." Wei Xu''s eyes on him were harsh with a hint of mockery. These few days they held a lot of meetings to decide whether to stay or leave and he always persuaded everyone to leave with him while this ''pure'' youth who once sought his protection fought him with everyone in the team. This sort of team¡­ This sort of mockery¡­. Well, his family is still in B city waiting for him, plus he owed Liu Chen to go even more, and there''s not a single thing to be missed from this team.


    Xu Yi felt pressured by Wei Xu''s eyes. His tone turned gentler, "Brother Wei, it''s not that we want to be against you, it¡¯s just that right now with base leader gone, we will be the strongest people in this whole base.. If we also go, what will the remaining residents do?"


    Isn''t it being unable to let go of the status of base leader? Yesterday he was clearly discussing about future management of the base with Qiu Xiangyu¡­.. Thest bit of feelings he had left for Xu Yipletely vanished. He gazed deeply at Xu Yi before releasing the bald man''s fist and getting in the car. He started the car and raced off.


    [Probability of Wei Xu falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou who was checking the time and ce where male lead number four will appear in the story tilted his head, he looked at the system notification pensively and touched his chin. It looks like Wei Xu would leave the base, but Xu Yi was not going with him.


    Li Hao flipped through the map and nudged him with his arm, "Xiao Chen, why do we have to make a detour to J province? Won''t it be faster to go straight? We can save fuel."


    Of course it''s because we''re going to save the male lead number four who''s about to kick the bucket¡­.. He turned off the screen and put on a very enigmatic expression. "J province seems to have a hidden arsenal. As you can see we don¡¯t have much ammunition."


    At that Li Hao''s eyes brightened, he patted Ye Zhizhou with his big strong hand again, "We have to take that detour! There''s enough fuel to go!"


    Two dayster their cars reached a small hill on the outskirts of J province. Ye Zhizhou unearthed the arsenal that was supposed to be found by male lead number four in advance with no mental pressure whatsoever. He left Li Hao who was putting away the goods, circling around to the back of the small hill by himself. He found the small river not far from it and squatted down to wait.


    Two hourster, an emaciated man floated down the river clutching a piece of driftwood. His handsomely angled face was deathly pale and his eyes faintly closed, it was unclear whether he was awake or unconscious.


    Ye Zhizhou''s eyes lit up, he hurried to get down and drag the man ashore. He gave him first aid and a rejuvenation pill, cracking a smile at the dying man, "As the old saying goes, the favor of one drop of water is repaid with a spring. So, will you be my bodyguard? Three meals a day guaranteed, and there are crystal cores in it. We will put an end to this end of world. What do you say?"


    As the man gradually became more awake, his blurry vision cleared up and he saw a cute face beaming at him. Yan Zheng struggled to move his hands, but facing Ye Zhizhou''s smile his pupils shook, he then nodded, "Sounds good to me."


    [Probability of Yan Zheng falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 60%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    It actually dropped so low? The surprised Ye Zhizhou poked the man who fainted right after saying those few words. He smiled until his eyes squinted, how can the male leads in this world be so generous and cute? Truly the paragon of male leads! What a<em><span> good example</em> for all the missions to follow!


    A dayter the cars arrived at a city not far from B city. That night, Yan Zheng woke up from hisa. The first thing he saw was the straight faced Liang Ping.


    "Here." Liang Ping passed him a small strawberry.


    Yan Zheng who hadn''t seen fruits for so long couldn''t hold back his saliva, but he firmly shook his head, "That''s alright. Do you have water? I''d like some water, thank you."


    Liang Ping was very dissatisfied. He stuffed the man''s mouth with the berry and took out a fruit knife from his pocket. He wiped it while saying softly, "You ate my fruit so now you¡¯re my<em><span> younger brother</em>, call me<em><span> second brother</em>, got it?"


    Yan Zheng was a bit shocked by the strawberry and coughed. He asked afterwards, "Then who''s our<em><span> leader</em>?"


    "That would be me." Ye Zhizhou poured him a cup of warm water. He took out grapes with a flick of his wrist and said, "Call me boss, and you''ll get fruits to eat." He put down the fruit and took out a map as he spoke, pointing to a red circle on the map, "This hospital has a warehouse with things I need. So, my bodyguard, it''s time for you to take the stage!"


    "¡­¡­" If you forgot, isn¡¯t this ''bodyguard'' still injured?


    The ce Ye Zhizhou circled was a hospital''s warehouse. It stored expensive imported medical equipment ¡ª which was exactly what was needed for making the vine. In the original plot, just to get these pieces of equipment Zhong Qiu ran here despite his family''s protests and almost failed fighting with the high level zombies outside the hospital alone. But now, in order to prevent uing threats on the genius''s life Ye Zhizhou decided to obtain the equipment first. He''d rush to B city afterwards and donate it so that the genius can focus on saving the world in the safety of his ownb.


    The warehouse was located in the far corner of the hospital; to reach it he''d have to go through the intensive care building, two other buildings with hospital wards, an emergency unit, the cafeteria and three of the hospital staff''s quarters. With the sheer amount of people packed into the hospital before the apocalypse you can clearly surmise the difficulty of taking the equipment out.


    However this was all nothing in the face of the scent hiding pill!


    Ye Zhizhou smiled kindly and, channeling his inner con artist, shared 5 pills each with Liang Ping and Yan Zheng, "My dad didn''t know I wanted to go here so we have to do this quietly. Come,e,e, eat your pills. We''ll set off when it''s darker."


    Liang Ping swallowed his pill without so much talk. He faced Yan Zheng and brandished his scalpel, "Third bro, eat it."


    Yan Zheng''s eyes narrowed. He suppressed the growing doubt in his heart with a deep breath, shut his eyes and swallowed it. He was full of sadness and grief, ready to die here for a righteous cause. In the middle of the night he has to search through a hospital packed full with zombies for machines with an unclear location¡­¡­ This bodyguarding gig is so hard.


    At midnight it was dark without the moon or stars.


    Three men departed swiftly from the car they were resting in. After they''ve paced through several hundred metres, Ye Zhizhou took out a car from his space. He signaled to the other two to board the car, stuck a scent-hiding mark from the system on the car, then sped off to the hospital.


    Their journey to the hospital was wholly unobstructed. The three got out of the car quietly and ran towards the direction of the warehouse with the help of the pill. Contrary to Yan Zheng''s expectations the zombies let them slip by, as if they were ''blind'' and unable to ''sense'' the humans at all. He felt his worldview being seriously shaken.


    They arrived at the vicinity of the warehouse in 20 minutes. Now they were surrounded by countless ''blindly'' swaying zombies-stalks, so densely packed, watching them would make a man''s scalp tingle. The zombies outside the building were too densely crowded together that even taking a detour to avoid them was not feasible. Upon seeing this they halted in ce.


    Ye Zhizhou was the first to take out his sword and cut his way through a nearby zombie; Liang Ping and Yan Zheng followed his example and took out their weapons, reaping the rotting monsters noiselessly. asionally they woulde near some high leveled zombies and it would make everyone''s nerves more tense ¡ª they slowly made their way to the warehouse, doing their best to quiet the shes of their des.


    50 metres.¡­. 20 metres¡­. 10 metres¡­. 5 metres¡­


    Just when they could see their goal right in front of their eyes, a big and repulsive high level zombie fell from above,nding smack in front of the entrance! Ye Zhizhou''s hand clenched around his sword, his spread out spiritual web unconsciously shrank back and his heart beat faster. This zombie can actually pass through his spiritual web''s probing.. this is weird!


    Yan Zheng stepped forward so Ye Zhizhou and Liang Ping were behind him. His eyes were fixed on that big zombie. Yan Zheng''s fire ability rolled out of him and dangerous sparks of fire crackled in the air.


    The high level zombie seemed to sense the inexplicable warming of his surroundings and retreated. His head swayed back and forth, aimlessly circling the same spot. The three men exchanged nces and agreed silently to take a step back so that they''re out of the zombie''s attack range.


    The surroundings became quiet.


    ck¡ª the sound of the door opening rang in the air. Ye Zhizhou looked up at the previously tightly shut warehouse door opening, there was an outline of a tall thin maning out of the half opened door. "I smelled something pleasant, was that you?


    How can there be someone in the warehouse?!


    The high leveled zombie heard a human voice and stopped his searching. He turned while cocking his head uncertainly and drew back in fear, as if he had encountered something terrible. A gentle breeze from who knows where swept through everyone. That high level zombie stopped abruptly, his hoarse cry was cut short and he fell backwards, head cut off from his body. The head rolled, stopping right before it reached Ye Zhizhou. Ye Zhizhou dipped his head and looked right into the corpse''s empty sockets.


    <em><span>Freak-ing¨Ch?ll!</em>


    He quickly stepped back with his hand over his too-quickly beating heart, all of his fine hairs standing on its end.


    Something is off with this stranger! Yan Zheng and Liang Ping stepped forward in unison, shielding Ye Zhizhou behind their bodies and eyeing the tall man who had suddenly came out of the building.


    Another gust of wind passed and Ye Zhizhou only saw a sh before his waist was gripped firmly, having already left Yan Zheng''s and Liang Ping''s ring of protection. He was held by the tall man, chest to chest, eye to eye, breathing the same air as he.


    "Not that thing¡­.. So that smell.. was you?


    The tone of that voice filling Ye Zhizhou''s ears were cold, the breath puffed to his face was also cold. Looking carefully ¡ª the man''s calm handsome face was a touch too pale against the moonlight. His pupils were an unnatural shade of yellow-brown and his lips were purple. Ye Zhizhou fearlessly took and felt the hand sping his waist, his insides shivered.


    The symptoms of people in the early stages of zombie infection: their temperature would rise before falling suddenly, face all pale white, eyes turn yellow brown, lips would be purple shade, as well as the unnatural blue veins bulging out on their hands¡­¡­ He speedily raised his hand to the other man''s chest while shaking his head, "<em><span>Brother</em>, I haven''t bathed for five days, my body smells really bad, I swear!"<hr>


    <span>[T/N:] some things I need feedback on;<blockquote>


    <span><span>That high level zombie stopped abruptly right before <span>it reached Ye Zhizhou and <span>its hoarse cry was cut short.</blockquote>


    zombies are ¡®it¡¯ in chinese, should I use he instead? and <blockquote>


    <span>ÀÏ´ó, <span>À϶þ, ÀÏÈý; first (leader), second inmand, third inmand</blockquote>


    should I use pinyin or boss/leader, second brother, third brother?


    does it sound poetic, this chapter? I had to pad in some words while having a PBD withdrawal

 Chapter 46

    Next


    Since the high level zombie was defeated, the low leveled ones broke their circle formation and ambled aimlessly. The forces pressuring them suddenly broke. Yan Zheng and Liang Ping immediately charged to where Ye Zhizhou was.


    In a blink of an eye Liang Ping already reached Ye Zhizhou; one hand took hold of him from behind while another took out his scalpel tounch an attack at the tall thin man. Yan Zheng arrived one secondter, his sword plunged in and his me surged with its scorching heat.


    "Quite interesting." The tall man hummed. His hand lightly waved and a strong gust of wind ripped up. There was a sound of metal shing against metal, and when Ye Zhizhou turned his head he saw Liang Ping''s scalpel just as it was blocked by chopsticks the tall man whipped out ¡ª Liang Ping''s scalpel was also stuck inside the spiral line pattern of the chopsticks ¡ª it looked quiteical. On the other side the fire was blown askew by the wind but Yan Zheng''s sword unerringly pierced through that thin man''s big overcoat. Just when Ye Zhizhou thought Yan Zheng''s attack was sessful the coat tore and the lower hem was blown up by the wind, forcing Yan Zheng back to the warehouse door.


    <em><span>What a menace!</em>


    Ye Zhizhou''s heart sank. He hurriedly spread out the spiritual force he gathered and turned it into ayer of silk, condensed them into needle-like shapes, and fiercely stabbed towards the thin man''s brain. During all those, his hands never paused, one of his hands tried to blind the man and another hand pushed at the man¡¯s chest. While Liang Ping''s grasp on him dragged him away, Ye Zhizhou raised his leg and kicked the man''s<em><span> family jewels</em>!


    The thin man went stiff from Ye Zhizhou''s sudden offensive. His head raised and his body leaned away to avoid his kick. Ye Zhizhou got him to loosen his hold, but the man''s hand swiftly grabbed at his arm and pulled Ye Zhizhou right back to his embrace! That man seemed to sense the sharpened spiritual needles approaching since his yellowish pupils shrank ¡ª a somewhat weak spiritual force spread out quickly, forming a thin film of protection. It blocked Ye Zhizhou''s needles from his brain!


    Two spiritual forces shed and both groaned in pain at the same time. The harsh wind around the thin man lessened as the tight grip on Ye Zhizhou loosened. Liang Ping quickly withdrew with Ye Zhizhou in hand while Yan Zheng took the chance to attack again and aimed his sword at the thin man!


    "Stop, stop!" Ye Zhizhou endured his headache and yelled out in panic. His body moved faster than his thoughts, he threw himself in front of Yan Zheng. "He''s on our side! Don¡¯t attack!"


    Yan Zheng stopped his offensive and the other man used this opening to retreat. Liang Ping ran to Ye Zhizhou and pulled him back to his side.


    It was a strange stand-off.


    The spiritual forces merged and twined together after shing against each other, emitting ecstatic joy in his mind. The other man''s force divided into several strands, reaching over as thoughing home, and caressed his face.


    As he expected¡­¡­ Caught betweenughter and tears he wiped his own face and patted the two men by his side to cate them. Ye Zhizhou gave the thin man gradually slowing down a once over from top to bottom. He couldn''t suppress his smile, "Stop fighting for now. These two are mypanions, and uh, what''s your name?"


    The other man looked puzzledly at him, he stepped forward unconsciously and covered his forehead.


    "What is my name¡­¡­." He muttered to himself. He had a moment of frustration before returning into his previous calm, his yellowish pupils only sank deeply for a moment as well before returning into a lighter colour, but his hand continued to clutch his forehead and the force he exerted made the skin there redden. The zombies around him seemed to be affected by his emotions and anxiously issued low growls.


    "No! Don¡¯t hurt yourself." Ye Zhizhou frightfully trembled at the sight of this. Recalling what he had found out earlier quickly dispersed the joy of meeting his lover again. "Were you bitten by a zombie? Come here, I''ll give you medicine." Though he didn¡¯t have the zombie antivirus, the marrow cleansing pill should be able to clear up the virus in his body. At any rate, he couldn''t allow his lover to continue to deteriorate!


    "Medicine?" The thin man halted all movements at Ye Zhizhou''s words. His expression stayed calm, then, he unhurriedly took out a syringe loaded with fluid, skillfully readied it and injected it into his arm. He contentedly sighed, "That''s right, I¡¯m here looking for the machine to make a medicine."


    Yan Zheng and Liang Ping gripped their weapon tighter when they saw his strange behaviour.


    The light blue substance slowly entered through his arm and his bulging veins turned t, his pale face regained its colour, his yellowish pupils darkened into a normal person''s brown, his purple lips also became rosier. The corners of his lips slightly raised up, making him look extremely pleased.


    Ye Zhizhou gaped at his changes. He pushed aside the two men standing in front of him and blurted out, "Wh-what did you inject yourself with? The zombie antivirus?!"


    <em><span>This can''t be</em>! That''s not what the plot data said!


    "No." The thin man threw away his syringe. His cold and harsh tone from before turned warm and gentle, and the look in his eyes werepletely doused with harmlessness.


    "It''s just a half finished thing. Alright,e over here. I like the smell on your body, en, and also," While speaking he reached out his finger to the the spiritual threads rubbing against him, his expression looked intoxicated, "your ability is adorable. I really want to pry open your brain and see what your core stone looks like."


    Ye Zhizhou''s spiritual force whooshed back to his person. His throat felt dry, and he had to swallow a few times. His lover seemed a bit perverted.. What to do? He kind of want to say he didn''t know him. Yan Zheng hurried to pull Ye Zhizhou back behind his body while Liang Ping was more direct, the scalpel in his hand was already flung towards the thin man.


    The man urately caught the iing scalpel with his hands. He felt it out with interest, "Upgraded. Not bad, I like it." Then he returned it with an even faster speed.


    He said to Ye Zhizhou, "My name''s Zhong Qiu, what about you? What''s your name?"


    Zhong Qiu¡­¡­ Ye Zhizhou felt his vision ckening. Howe his lover is a cannon fodder in this life as well? Moreover he''s the cannon fodder genius that must be well-protected! Ye Zhizhou held back his twopanions who were about to spring into offense and sighed.


    His head stretched out, he said helplessly, "I''m Liu Chen. Don¡¯t attack my friends. This is not a ce to talk, can we talk inside?"


    Out here the zombies surrounded them. Though for some unknown reason they hadn''t attacked this bunch of noisy humans, just the sight of these corpses scared him plenty.


    Zhong Qiu''s gaze swept over his hands that held Liang Ping and Yan Zheng''s shoulder back. A yellowish shade emerged in the depth of his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed. He smiled, "Okay, let''s go in."


    All sorts of equipments were piled up inside the rather small warehouse. Ye Zhizhou set his eyes towards the huge equipment at the corner as soon as he entered and walked over to it without thinking.


    A gust of wind blew and his waist was grasped tightly, returning him into Zhong Qiu''s embrace. This time Zhong Qiu''s grip was much more gentle, but even then, the wordsing out of his mouth were nothing pretty, "You''re already mine now, so you can''t touch things you shouldn''t be touching, okay?"


    Ye Zhizhou stopped Yan Zheng and Liang Ping with a nce. He raised his hand to stroke Zhong Qiu''s hand on his waist, maintaining a gentle expression as he said, "You must havee for this machine, right? Me too. I heard someone who would soon finish a vine in B city really needed this thing, I knew there was one here, so I wanted to take it to the B city¡­.. The person needing this machine must be you?"


    The grip on his waist tightened. The man''s warm breath moved from the back of his head to his ears. "You wanted to give me a gift?"


    Ye Zhizhou corrected, "¡ªWanted to give you ''this machine''¡­¡­"


    "How sweet of you." The slender fingers moved around his neck and stroked there in an ambiguous manner, then his fingers pinched his earlobe, settling then pointing at his temple, "But I want this part of you even more¡­¡­"


    The breath blowing on his face turned from warm to ice cold, the fingers on his temple also quickly became colder. Ye Zhizhou''s heart tightened, he quickly grasped his hand and asked again, "Were you bitten? Let me go, I''ll get you some medicine."


    "Not bitten." His warm and gentle voice started to be cold and harsh again, though he tried to tone it down the t voice cord gradually made his voice devoid of human emotions. "I just experimented on myself a bit, is all. To get rid of the tricky virus I have to know about it a bit more, don''t you think?"


    I think you bring<em><span> bad luck</em>! So he wasn''t bitten by a zombie, it was he himself that courted death by using his own body to take in the virus?! Ye Zhizhou didn''t know what to say, his hand sped Zhong Qiu''s tightly as if he was strangling the other man and his voice raised, "Let go! I can take the machine for you with my space! We''ll go back and you''ll hurry up to make that d¡Ämn vine. I don''t like this horrible look at all!"


    "Like?"


    "I don''t like it! Let me go!"


    Zhong Qiu frowned and slowly released him. He looked down at his own hands, "You hate me like this?"


    Ye Zhizhou packed up the machine with difficulty then red at him. He walked over to Liang Ping and Yan Zheng, "Don''t say anything about him being infected outside, I will fix him. You should go out and kill some zombies, take their cores. Don''t forget to take your scent-hiding pills and don''t go too far, I¡ª"


    His waist was gripped tightly again, strong winds blew on the sides of his body and his vision distorted for a moment. When the wind died out the warehouse door had closed shut and there were no traces of Yan Zheng and Liang Ping.


    "Where are they?!"


    Ice cold breath swept on his neck, moving dangerously, "Outside."


    Ye Zhizhou''s neck was licked lightly, his scalp slightly tingled, while his body unconsciously tensed, "Zhong Qiu, calm down a bit."


    He definitely didn''t want to challenge his tolerance of zombies by getting intimate with one! It''s too hard to do!


    "I like your taste," He tightened his grip and the ice cold breath moved towards Ye Zhizhou''s ear, "so you''ll also like me."


    What sort of logic is this!?


    His body was suddenly flipped ¡ª Zhong Qiu forced Ye Zhizhou''s head up, locking his eyes with his yellowish pupils again. The corner of his clothes were pulled up, ice cold fingers explored underneath and stroked Ye Zhizhou''s skin in an ambiguous manner.


    "It''s warm, feels so good." He leaned his head in like he was going for a kiss¡­


    Even if that face is handsome! This ice cold touch and breath didn''t feel good to him!


    Ye Zhizhou''s mind flooded with curses, he raised his hand when Zhong Qiu''s grip loosened and forced the man''s face away from himself. He tried hard to ignore the cold sensation on his back and said one word at a time: "Are you sure you can get it up?"


    As far as he knew, the infected human''s body temperature will always drop to zero. He reckoned that thing down there should be unable to perform.


    Zhong Qiu''s movement stopped. He slowly withdrew his hand from Ye Zhizhou''s back while his eye color deepened and his voice turn cold. His eyes narrowed and he said threateningly, "You suspect that I can''t?"


    Ye Zhizhou lowered his head, looked at Zhong Qiu''s non-responsive lower member, and shrugged. Just now he was only voicing his doubts but now he''s sure that zombies can¡¯t get it up.


    "Liu Chen." He reached into his pocket again. He pulled out a light blue form and skillfully injected it into his own arm. "You''re <em><span>screwed</em>."


    Strong winds gust up again, gushing around the two men''s bodies. There was a loud sound of clothes ripping and Ye Zhizhou felt a light breeze on him, then, he caught sight of strips of familiar cloths. When he nced down, his body already had nothing protecting it froming into contact with the air.


    "¡­Zhong! Qiu!"


    The warehouse door suddenly burst open and a group of people crashed in. One gentle-looking young man with sses was the first toe in and to be stunned by the situation inside. The guy couldn''t help rubbing his eyes, he asked anxiously, "<em><span>Le-leader..</em> Wh-what are you doing?"Next

 Chapter 47

    Zhong Qiu pulled Ye Zhizhou into his embrace and covered him. He looked towards the people at the doorway coldly. His eyes which were turning a normal colour had an unusually cold glint. "Everyone close your eyes! Get out!"


    A blur of white rushed past everyone, Liang Ping appeared behind Zhong Qiu and held him by the shoulder, his scalpel reflected off an eerie light in the dim warehouse.


    "Let our boss go!"


    Ye Zhizhou was about to blow his top. He took advantage of Zhong Qiu''s coverage to pull out a robe from his space and put it on. He growled, "Liang Ping, beat him up! Zhong Qiu, if you dare to fight back I''ll castrate you!!"


    The young man with sses gulped, thinking he¡¯d probably came at a bad time. He quietly retreated¡­


    "Running somewhere?" Yan Zheng stood at the warehouse''s entrance. His hand waved backwards, rising a wall of fire outside the warehouse without an opening to get through. "Tell us clearly, who are you?!"


    Zhong Qiu nimbly avoided all of Liang Ping''s attacks using his wind ability and speedily approached Ye Zhizhou. He picked him up, jumped several times until hended in front of the youth with sses and handed Ye Zhizhou over to him.


    "Lao Bo, this is my battle trophy, take him away." He said as he charged towards Yan Zheng at the door.


    Trophy? Ye Zhizhou''s repressed rage exploded thoroughly, therge burst of spiritual force enveloped Lao Bo''s group was as fierce as thunders. He threw arge cut of spiritual force at Zhong Qiu and grasped his own robe''s belt. "Zhong Qiu! Continue fighting and I''ll strip, right here and now!"


    Zhong Qiu''s offense jerked to a stop. The fireball prepped in Yan Zheng''s hand sizzled out. Liang Ping''s scalpel slipped out of his hand and hit the ground with a loud ng. Lao Bo, who was ready to spring up and fight, sat on the ground embarrassed and dumbstruck from Ye Zhizhou'' words.


    Large amounts of spiritual forceced with Ye Zhizhou¡¯s indignation and irritation circted inside the warehouse without a stop. Zhong Qiu sensed the emotions conveyed in his spiritual force and the wind surging around his person slowed down. He turned back and strode to Ye Zhizhou, held andforted the other man by patting his back, coaxing him using a gentler tone, "Don''t be angry, they haven''t seen it. Only show me your body. Don''t be angry."


    Is this the focus!? Ye Zhizhou threw a left hook to his head. "Me, a trophy?"


    Zhong Qiu''s ducked his head sideways, but his hands still firmly held Ye Zhizhou''s waist, "No, I am your trophy."


    Ye Zhizhou''s fist withdrew and his knee raised up, "Still gonna fight?"


    "Not gonna." Zhong Qiu pushed down on his knee then rubbed there in an intimate manner, he dipped his head next to Ye Zhizhou''s ear and lowered his voice, "I just want to fight you on the bed."


    Ye Zhizhou sneered, he can see Zhong Qiu hadn''t learnt his lesson. He pushed the other man aside and pulled on his arm, pressing down hard on the needle hole. "If I guess correctly the medicine you took would only be able to suppress the virus inside your body temporarily. Once your mood fluctuates or you go without the injection for a long time the virus will re up. You still want to do bed stuff like this? Dream on! Just stay like this unable to get it up forever!"


    Lao Bo who had just picked himself up fell down in embarrassment again. He seemed to have heard of something <em><span>incredible</em> just now.


    The corners of Yan Zheng''s mouth twitched. He withdrew his powers. It turned out to be a lovers¡¯ quarrel¡­.. Really yed them all.


    Liang Ping looked back and forth between Ye Zhizhou and Zhong Qiu bewilderedly, then he also put away his scalpel. He took out a longan from his pocket and started nibbling on it.


    All the noisy people stopped except for Zhong Qiu. He examined his pricked arm for a bit and then stared at the small glimpse of skin near Ye Zhizhou''s cor with a pitch-ck face. He asked suddenly, "Whose clothes are you wearing? I hate that scent!"


    Ye Zhizhou dipped his head to check and found that he had put on Yan Mingyong''s ck robe in his hurry. Mischievousness brewed in him, heughed, "Oh, this? This robe was worn by someone I really like. The material''s really good! It smells really good! The feel on the body is very smooth! What''s wrong? You don''t like it? Then I''ll just take it off." He said and directly pulled on his cor like he would undress in seconds.


    Zhong Qiu hastily gripped his hand, he glimpsed at the tattered overcoat on himself, a sh of yellow appeared in his pupils. "Don''t take it off, wear it well."


    Ye Zhizhou hit his cheeks without hesitation, "You, calm down! You dare turn back to zombie?!"


    Slightly yellow pupils then gradually returned to its normal colour.


    Lao Bo looked dumbfounded, he felt his family''s leader had turned into apletely different person, he was so obedient! He didn''t want to disturb his very strange leader at this time but his sense of duty left him no choice, he started talking against his wish, "That, uh, leader, I sprayed the drug that misleads the zombie''s sense of smell when I came in, but it won''tst long. The old master is worried about you, why don''t we¡­ return first?"


    "You guys go." Zhong Qiu lowered his head to look at him, his usual cold demeanour had also returned in front of his subordinate. "I''m going with Xiao Chen."


    "But, old master¡­"


    "The machine is with Xiao Chen." Zhong Qiu whipped out a high-sounding reason, "I''ll get the machine to the capital with Xiao Chen. There¡¯s not enough space in the ne, you guys leave first."


    Lao Bo was scared by his cold gaze and couldn''t say anything else, but he looked at Ye Zhizhou to the side, "Then, Mr. Liu, please look after¡ª"


    "Yan Zheng, Liang Ping." Without ncing at Lao Bo or Zhong Qiu, Ye Zhizhou beckoned his two subordinates towards him. "Missionpleted, let''s go!"


    There seemed to be a mutation in his lover''s gene in this life. He needed some time to adapt, and until he can adapt¡­¡­ Distance breeds fondness!


    The three men quickly rushed out of the warehouse. Zhong Qiu looked at his own dumbstruck subordinate before ncing away in disdain, then he flew away using the speed of his wind ability. After being cut off, Lao Bo''s words died in his mouth. His various inner organs felt like they were being squeezed and hurting, Lao Bo couldn''t help stomping his foot, "So many zombies outside, are they still humans?! Just say ''go'' and they went out like that! Isn''t this looking to die!"


    One of the subordinates who came with him poked his shoulder and whispered, "But before we even arrived, that group had already crossed the entire hospital and reached the warehouse¡­ They also had time to quarrel, being surrounded by zombies¡­¡­"


    "¡­¡­" He felt more angry now!


    When Ye Zhizhou''s group reached the location of their fleet of cars it was already dawn, the sky was greyish blue. Li Hao, who had always been an early-riser, saw theming back from outside and couldn''t help asking puzzledly, "Where did you go this early in the morning? Also, Xiao Chen, what''s that thing you''re wearing? Looks strange, eh."


    "I saw an uncontaminated sweet potato nt out there so I took Yan Zheng and Liang Ping to dig it out and put in my space." Ye Zhizhou lied with a truly honest face. He pulled on his clothes and continued, "I can get these ck clothes dirty so I changed into them."


    The extremely gullible Li Hao nodded his head, his attention was diverted instantly, "Ah, you found sweet potatoes? That''s great. Sweet potatoes are very filling, they''re good to get! It''ll be perfect to eat when it gets colder."


    Yan Zheng took out his long sword and wiped it clean. He felt that the future of working as a bodyguard was bleak. Liang Ping looked at him thoughtfully, he pulled out a small tangerine from his pocket and pushed it onto Yan Zheng. "Eat it."


    A gentle breeze blew and Zhong Qiu suddenly appeared beside Ye Zhizhou with a small pouch in hand. He gave the pouch to Ye Zhizhou and smiled at him, "Xiao Chen, I found some potatoes too, I helped you dig it out." He nced at Li Hao as he talked and then extended his hand to the older man, "Hello. I''m Zhong Qiu, Xiao Chen''s boyfriend. Thank you for all your care for him all this time."


    Li Hao was charmed by his amiable, handsome smile, and took Zhong Qiu''s hand dumbly. His reaction was dyed too, "Ooh, so it''s Xiao Chen''s boyfriend. Nice to meet you. Just call me uncle Li like Xiao Chen¡­¡­, wait, boyfriend?!"


    His eyes opened wide. He turned his head to the direction of the fleet of cars and yelled out, "Old Liu! Come here, Xiao Chen got a boyfriend!"


    The peaceful camp of cars immediately came to life with the ttering sound of things falling at every corner. Liu Tao peeked his messy head out of one of the cars, his face twisted up and his eyes full of killing intent.


    "What did you say? Boyfriend?!"


    Ye Zhizhou was stupefied from this unexpected plot event and he couldn''t help but kick his big and tall man.


    "Zhong Qiu! Why are you here!" Didn''t they lose this guy when they left the hospital?!


    Zhong Qiu maintained a gentle cordial smile on his face. He turned to Ye Zhizhou to stuff Ye Zhizhou''s hand with the potato pouch. "Here, betrothal gift."


    <em><span>To h?ll with your gift!</em><sup>1</sup>


    After breakfast their fleet set off again.


    Liu Tao came out of the empty truck with purpose. He had a stern face as he stared at the calm and handsome Zhong Qiu. He asked with knitted brows, "Your age? Job? How many in your family? Marriage history? How many sisters and brothers? How long have you known Xiao Chen?"


    Ye Zhizhou could only cover his forehead.<sup>2</sup>


    Zhong Qiu''s head tilted to look at him. He very naturally took Ye Zhizhou''s hand as he looked at Liu Tao earnestly, "26, researcher. Seven people. I''ve never married, but one of my older brothers has. As for how long I''ve known him¡­ I know Xiao Chen has a mole on his lower abdomen."


    To even know the mole on his lower abdomen¡­¡­ Liu Tao''s expression scrunched up in an instant, but as he swept his gaze at their interlocked hands he took in deep breaths to calm himself. He continued asking, "Do your parents know about you and Xiao Chen?"


    "They know, they really like Xiao Chen." Zhong Qiu <em><span>lied through his teeth</em>, "Also, my grandfather knew I left B city to look for Xiao Chen and he supported my decision."


    Liu Tao''s expression finally eased up. He sighed looking at Ye Zhizhou, only extending a hand to stroke his head, "Since it''s someone you like, dad won''t stop you. It''s not so easy to meet someone you like in the world now. I can see Xiao Zhong''s person is very steady and dependable. If you can live well with him from now, when ites to the day where I have to leave you, you''ll still have someone to support you."


    All of Ye Zhizhou''s gloom and silence were broken by these words. He broke away from Zhong Qiu''s grasp and sternly red at the man wearing a harmless smile. He stepped forward to hug Liu Tao. "Dad, the apocalypse will end soon. You''ll live for a long, long time."


    "Yes, the apocalypse will soon end." Zhong Qiu added in his words in a timely manner, obsessed with giving off a good impression. "I am halfway finished developing a cure for the zombie virus, there will be results very soon." And it must be finished soon, he wants to get to the wedding night!


    Liu Tao couldn¡¯t stop his eyes from getting wet as he listened to these. He hugged his son and patted his back, with a bit more force because of his excited mood. "Good, good¡­ This sort of world is finally going to be saved."


    After a day and a half, their fleet of cars reached B city. They headed straight to the base.


    Ye Zhizhou carefully looked through the system''s provided data, he felt a bit concerned; ording to the timeline the Annan base should have been broken into more than a week ago. He didn''t know how the protagonist and Qiu Xiangyu were doing now or if they were separated like in the original plot¡­ Only one of the four gs has fallen low enough to be safe, the other two gs were 50% and 60% respectively and the remaining one firmly stayed at 100%¡­¡­


    Right now the only constion was that the story plot of Zhong Qiu snatching the protagonist shouldn''t happen¡ªwait, wait. If a madman like Zhong Qiu who, in order to develop vines, would experiment himself knew of the protagonist''s spring¡­ It''s over!


    He hastily flipped through the data and checked the plot point when Zhong Qiu would snatch the protagonist. He thought about the several low grade marrow cleansing pills he got from Tongtian. He poked the Zhong Qiu sticking to his side and was resting with his eyes closed. "This is for you, it''ll be useful for your research."


    The reason why that spring caught Zhong Qiu''s attention was because of its unnaturally powerful functions of strengthening the body and washing out impurities at once. If you look at it this way, the system''s drug-peddling function was simply, extremely kind! Washing out impurities? Strengthening the body? It''s all covered by the low grade marrow cleansing pill! Moreover, there are still the middle grade and high grade. Those will surely be more effective than the protagonist''s spring!


    Zhong Qiu opened his eyes to look at the pill on Ye Zhizhou''s palm. The colour of his eyes changed. He said, "Really? Then I''ll try it." While his hands already picked the pill up and directly put it inside his mouth.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at his empty palm and then at the man''s expressionless face. His hand quickly pinched Zhong Qiu''s neck, "How did you develop such a bad habit? Just put anything remotely rting to research into your mouth! What if that was poison?! You don''t act like a genius at all!"


    "I am a genius." Zhong Qiu didn''t care for the hand pinching his neck. He looked straight in Ye Zhizhou''s eyes and spoke obscene words with a straight face: "Though I have never done it, I can guarantee you''ll feel really good doing it with me."


    "¡­I will strangle you!"<hr>

 Chapter 48

    Ye Zhizhou still remembered, the first time he ate the marrow cleansing pill he had spent a difficult half an hour on the toilet. He eyed Zhong Qiu attentively, tensely, ready to kick him out of the car at any moment should the other need to solve his physiological problem.


    Being stared at by Ye Zhizhou, Zhong Qiu felt happy but had misgivings at the same time. His hands couldn¡¯t stop from reaching out to hold him, and then caressed the man¡¯s back suggestively. ¡°You like me this much?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou pulled the lecher¡¯s paws off of his back. He looked at his wristwatch and madly poked the system in his mind, ¡°Tongtian, it¡¯s been about an hour since he¡¯s taken the marrow cleansing pill, why hasn¡¯t anythinge out? Could it be that the marrow cleansing pill has no effect on zombie virus?¡±


    The small mirror in his pocket vibrated. It emitted a light screen which then turned into a light beam that scanned Zhong Qiu from head to toe. There was a mechanical ¡®ck¡¯ and the screen popped out:


    [The target of the medicine hasn¡¯t eaten for more than half a month. Host, please believe in the system(¡®s given pills).]


    Hasn¡¯t eaten for half a month¡­ He lowered his head and lifted up the hem of the other man¡¯s shirt¡ª he actually had abs! He swept a feel again, based on the feel, it was totally unlike what a man who was starved for half a month should feel like!


    ¡°Zhong Qiu, are you hungry?¡±


    Feeling his touch Zhong Qiu¡¯s eyes grew deeper. He also slipped his hand under his clothes, closed in for a kiss and said suggestively, ¡°Hungry. Have you decided to feed me?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s lips pursed. He red at Zhong Qiu; this pervert has a brain filled with dirty crap! He took out a yoghurt cup and opened the seal, inserting a straw in it. He poked the man¡¯s face directly and also patiently pulled off the man¡¯s hand on his back, saying with a hard tone, ¡°Eat!¡±


    Zhong Qiu nced at the yoghurt in front of him, then turned away from it, ¡°I¡¯d rather drink your ¡®milk¡¯.¡±


    Still energetic, huh! He crushed the yoghurt cup in his hand, st, the white liquid spurted on Zhong Qiu¡¯s face. ¡°You think, can I or can¡¯t I make you unable to use your thing that spurts milk for your whole life!?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen, you¡¯re so naughty.¡± Zhong Qiu licked the yoghurt on the corner of his lips and frowned in distaste. ¡°Is that yoghurt expired? It¡¯s disgusting.¡±


    Disgusting? He was taken aback; he sniffed the yoghurt and also took a sip, his tongue clicked as he tasted it. ¡°It¡¯s not spoiled. How can something in my space expire.¡±


    He saw Zhong Qiu still eyeing the yoghurt with dislike and a brilliant idea shed through his mind. He took out a dagger, deftly cut open his finger and put it inside Zhong Qiu¡¯s mouth. ¡°How does my blood taste?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen!¡± Zhong Qiu spat out his finger with a dark face. ¡°What are you doing!¡±


    ¡°Does my blood taste sweet?¡± A sense of powerlessness filled his heart. He took out a ster bandage and wrapped his cut finger, the light in his eyes dimmed, ¡°Could it be that you can¡¯t eat any human food anymore?¡±


    ¡°So you were worrying about this¡­¡± Zhong Qiu¡¯s heart softened, he held Ye Zhizhou and stroked his hair. ¡°Rest assured, right now I don¡¯t need food to go on and there¡¯s no effect on my body. It¡¯ll be alright once the antivirus is developed, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes showed a renewed hope. He stroked Zhong Qiu¡¯s face, ¡°Then, are you a bit better now? The pill I gave you, did it do anything to the virus in your body?¡±


    ¡°It did.¡± Zhong Qiu nodded, his naughty hands felt up his back again, ¡°Haven¡¯t you noticed it? My transformation back to zombie form was dyed. The zombie virus injected in my body had been improved, it¡¯s a purer form of the original virus. So we need to test that pill again when we get to the base.¡±


    To his surprise the pill only dyed the time. This was far worse than what Ye Zhizhou expected. He put on a relieved smile and nestled into Zhong Qiu¡¯s embrace, but inside he went straight to poke the system worriedly, ¡°Tongtian, is the marrow cleansing pill ineffective against the zombie virus?¡±


    [The world¡¯s naturalw. For an important aspect of the world, the effect of products from outside of that world may weaken depending on the situation.]


    ¡°Then the marrow cleansing pills from before¡­.¡±


    [Had a weaker effect too.]


    He rubbed his face and recalled the high leveled zombies who could see through the scent hiding pill¡¯s effect asionally, his heart chilled. ¡°Then, if Zhong Qiu developed the cure using the marrow cleansing pill, would it weaken the destructive effect on the virus?¡±


    [Things discovered by the native people will have the full 100% effect on the matters of their own world.]


    That¡¯s good¡­ Now he can only hope Zhong Qiu could try his hardest to produce the cure as soon as possible.


    Ye Zhizhou fell asleep in Zhong Qiu¡¯s arms. Zhong Qiu took a nce of his beloved¡¯s docile sleeping face as they approached the base¡¯srge gate, his lips curved up and he hugged the man tighter.


    Their fleet of cars were long and many and most were military trucks, so they quickly attracted the attention of the base¡¯s higher-ups. Before all of their members could be listed they invited Liu Tao and the other Annan base leaders for a meeting inside.


    B city¡¯s base had three gates. There was a several kilometer distance gap between the first and second gate. This was the surveince area, densely packed with rows of cars, and inside were all people waiting for the observation period to be over. This fleet of theirs was exceedingly special that they specially designated a ce for them to stay.


    Ye Zhizhou was woken up by a slight jolt, he drowsily opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was precisely Zhong Qiu¡¯s beautiful chin. He was startled awake and saw that Zhong Qiu was carrying him as he walked, and he immediately struggled to get down on the ground. He asked while looking around him, ¡°We arrived at the base?¡±


    ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± Zhong Qiu who was looking forlornly at his hands in turn pulled Ye Zhizhou forward by his hand. ¡°They looked for uncle Liu to have a talk, uncle Li is counting the number of people in the fleet and distributing lunch.¡±


    He nodded to show that he understood, then looked at the big square metal gate ahead dubiously. ¡°What¡¯s this ce? What did you bring me here for?¡±


    Zhong Qiu didn¡¯t respond. He pulled him forward until they stopped at a small door by the corner of the metal gate then showed his ID to the soldiers guarding the door. The soldier confirmed his identity and saluted him, opening the little door¡¯s movable window.


    On the other side of the window stood a solemn faced old man. On their side, Zhong Qiu grasped Ye Zhizhou¡¯s shoulder and smiled at the old man, ¡°Grandpa, this is Liu Chen, my boyfriend. Soon to be my lifetime partner.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was stunned, what is this situation?


    That old man eyed him with scrutiny and then nodded, telling Zhong Qiu, ¡°Since you chose him, don¡¯t waverter on. Get along well. Next time, don¡¯t leave the base without telling the family or I¡¯ll shut down yourb, understood?¡±


    ¡°There won¡¯t be a next time.¡± Zhong Qiu obediently replied, ¡°The next time I go out, it will be to put the manufactured vine to use.¡±


    A hint of excitement shed in the old man¡¯s eyes at hearing it, his voice raised, ¡°Good, good. A real man won¡¯t go back on his words, I will wait for your good news.¡± Afterwards he turned to Ye Zhizhou with a much gentler face, ¡°Xiao Chen, grandpa will talk to you more when your observation period ends. Grandpa still has things to do, I will leave first.¡±


    The window was closed, and Ye Zhizhou had to swallow back his prepared reply to his stomach. A bit bashful, a bit annoyed, and really wanting to beat down Zhong Qiu once.


    ¡°Grandpa really likes you.¡± As if he didn¡¯t see his dissatisfaction, Zhong Qiu pulled his hand again. ¡°Let¡¯s go, uncle Li¡¯s still waiting for us, let¡¯s go back and eat.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen?¡± Suddenly a voice he was familiar with called nearby, Ye Zhizhou turned his head, and saw a thinned down Wei Xu. He jumped out of a bus ten metres away and ran up to Ye Zhizhou agitatedly. ¡°Xiao Chen, when did you arrive? I thought, I thought¡­,¡±


    Maybe what he imagined in his head was too horrible, his hands reached out wanting to hug Ye Zhizhou as he approached them.


    Zhong Qiu¡¯s face darkened. He stepped forward to stop his hands, standing in front of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s body. His eyes started to turn yellowish.


    ¡°Don¡¯t touch him!¡±


    ¡°You calm down a bit.¡± This is still at the observation area, alright? Ye Zhizhou reached out and pulled on his arm. He turned to Wei Xu and replied with augh, ¡°I just arrived at noon. What about you brother Wei? When did you arrive?¡±


    Wei Xu nced at his hand on Zhong Qiu¡¯s arm and frowned, ¡°Xiao Chen, this man is¡­¡±


    ¡°My boyfriend.¡± Ye Zhizhou pulled Zhong Qiu¡¯s hand to him very naturally, raising their hands for Wei Xu to see. ¡°I have to thank brother Wei for that talk before, it made me realise that what I felt for you was dependance on an older brother. Now I¡¯ve found someone I truly like. I¡¯ll introduce you, this is Zhong Qiu, a researcher in B city base. Zhong Qiu, this is brother Wei, a good brother I grew up with. He had always looked after me.¡±


    Zhong Qiu was pleased by his introduction. His whole demeanour warmed and he extended a hand to Wei Xu. ¡°Hello, thanks for your care for Xiao Chen before, from now own I will look after him well.¡± So you, his ¡®good brother¡¯, can get lost now.


    Wei Xu couldn¡¯t describe his feelings right now. He felt a little bit left behind and also a tad bitter. He took Zhong Qiu¡¯s extended hand and forced a smile on his face, saying back, ¡°Xiao Chen¡¯s quite unruly, you need to take more care.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen is very good.¡± Zhong Qiu took back his hand and smilingly refuted his words.


    Wei Xu¡¯s face stiffened.


    Seeing this Ye Zhizhou hastily put himself between the two men. He asked Wei Xu toe see Liu Tao where the fleet of cars were parked and Wei Xu nodded his agreement. He walked with Ye Zhizhou to the fleet as Zhong Qiu looked on with a bone-chilling stare.


    Liu Tao was very excited to meet Wei Xu, he pulled him close and started talking nonstop although Wei Xu was absent-minded. From time to time his line of sight would settle on Ye Zhizhou and Zhong Qiu on the side. Ye Zhizhou noticed this and raised a brow, he deliberately asked, ¡°Brother Wei, why don¡¯t I see Xu Yi with you? Haven¡¯t you always looked after him? Are you the only one who came to B city?¡±


    Wei Xu¡¯s expression went rigid. He said in a low voice, his hands unconsciously clenched, ¡°I¡¯m not alone, there¡¯s also Fang Yunqi. When we arrived he coincidentally met someone from his hometown and left with that friend to ask about his parents. As for Xu Yi¡­.. No need to talk about those withdifferent paths, also, he doesn¡¯t need me to take care of him.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen.¡± Liu Tao quickly indicated to Ye Zhizhou with his eyes, and changed the topic, ¡°Xiao Xu, does your dad and mom know you¡¯re here?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou saw that the flow of conversation has changed and regretfully closed his mouth. He closed the system¡¯s information, it seems like this remaining 30% won¡¯t drop so easily, ah¡­¡­ As for Fang Yunqi¡­, who was that?


    After 24 hours in the observation area the fleet of cars entered the second gate and prepared to settle down. Liu Tao and the rest of Annan base¡¯s leaders were invited to attend a meeting again while Wei Xu was received by his family. Yan Zheng left to look forrades from his old unit, Liang Ping went searching for the teacher he was indebted to. Zhong Qiu was the only one remaining by Ye Zhizhou¡¯s side.


    Just as they were moving their things into the assigned room Lao Bo rushed in, head full of sweat, saying urgently, ¡°Leader, you¡¯re finally back! The third test subject who was doing well before abruptly got worse, something¡¯s wrong but no one can handle the situation!¡±


    Zhong Qiu¡¯s expression changed. He dropped the stuff he was putting away and instantly followed Lao Bo out, but stopped after one step. He turned back to Ye Zhizhou, carried him in one swoop, then opened the window and jumped down.


    ¡°Leader what are you doing!?¡± Lao Bo was so startled his heart would explode. Ye Zhizhou whose body was free falling was also terribly scared, his spiritual force unconsciously whirled out of him and made into a cushion for their bodies.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be scared.¡± Zhong Qiu patted him and suddenly gentle bouts of wind surged in from all around them, steadily supported their fall. He looked up to Lao Bo who had stretched himself out of the window and shouted, ¡°I¡¯ll meet you at theb!¡±


    Theynded safely. Zhong Qiu jumped up and down with the wind while still holding Ye Zhizhou. Lao Bo followed their departure with his eyes, jealous and also bitter, ¡°Abilities are so amazing, ah¡­ If you show off too much you¡¯ll fall out of love faster!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou who was forced on a roller coaster ride felt lightheaded. Zhong Qiu carried him into a research institute at the third gate. Ye Zhizhou¡¯s vision went a little dimmer. The reason why he gave up the extremely popr mecha system before ¡ª and chose the more unorthodox shut-in gic research major ¡ª was because he couldn¡¯t stand the high intensity drills, moreover, operating the mecha himself was too muchfor him. He absolutely didn¡¯t expect that after so long he would actually get to experience the swift movements simr to piloting a mecha in this ancient world.


    After they passed the fourth or fifthplicated checkpoint of theb, Zhong Qiu ce him on a lounge sofa and stroked his hair, he frowned, ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡±


    ¡°A little unwell.¡± He took out a calming pill and swallowed it down, finally feeling well again. He waved him off, ¡°Go get your things done. Leave someone here to let me know where I can put the equipment, the antivirus is important.¡±


    Zhong Qiu stroke his hair again then leaned down to kiss him once before he turned to leave.


    An attractive young woman poked out her head from a door. She gave him a shy smile and murmured, ¡°Um¡­ I¡¯m Bao Bao. You can call out to me for anything. I¡¯m just at the small office across from you. And, uh, that equipment¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°The equipment¡¯s with me.¡± He got up at once and said politely, ¡°Where should I put the equipment? Can you please lead me there?¡±


    ¡°No, no need to be polite.¡± Bao Bao blushed red and waved her hand. She moved back and made a gesture for him toe with her. ¡°A space inb one had been vacated, please follow me.¡±


    The machine wasrge. After putting it down safely they still needed to carefully do the instation and debugging before it can be properly used. Ye Zhizhou saw that they busied themselves and quietly withdrew. He walked back to the lounge he was in before. That third test subject Lao Bo mentioned was also in the original plot. It was precisely by this unexpected variation in the test subject that Zhong Qiu found out the major issue with the unfinished antivirus. He had a breakthrough, thus, when he discovered the powerful active elements in the spiritual spring it was as if he hit the jackpot, he abducted protagonist who refused to provide his spring to the research.


    Recalling this part of the plot his brows furrowed. He felt a little puzzled, the protagonist was clearly very generous when using his spring to save the male leads, why would he in turn be so stingy, not even giving one drop when the research institute discussed with him? The spring was clearly abundant, and it was not alive, it wouldn¡¯t be lost forever if he gave them some¡­


    Is there anything weird in the spring?


    Thinking of this he stopped dead on his tracks. He flipped open the system¡¯s data till he got to the part where the male leads killed Zhong Qiu. After Wei Xu killed Zhong Qiu with an ice sword there was a strange move on the protagonist¡¯s part. He took Zhong Qiu and the rest of the test subjects in the institute into his space, his high-sounding reason was that he couldn¡¯t let the rotting zombie remains continue to pollute the institute with its virus.. This act was in perfect agreement with his ¡®kindhearted and attentive¡¯ setting. However theter text never did mention him taking out the remains to dispose of them¡­¡­


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand spasmed as he flipped through the data pages. His expression twisted¡­¡­


    The protagonist¡­, it can¡¯t be¡­¡­

 Chapter 49

    Ye Zhizhou turned back the data to the beginning of the end of the world, when the protagonist just awakened his powers. Ye Zhizhou read it word by word, and his hands unconsciously felt the small mirror tattoo on his arm.


    The protagonist''s spatial power didn''t awaken with the healing ability, he got it suddenly during a supply hunt, half a month after awakening the space. The plot was rather vague that it could be easily missed, but Ye Zhizhou noticed some of the words: ''high fever'', ''almost bitten'', ''absorbed high level zombie core stone'', and ''witnessed hisrade being eaten''. Skimming through it, it was as if the protagonist awakened his potential due to the desperate situation but after careful consideration there were many issues with it.


    Firstly, the ''high fever'' after he was ''almost bitten'' ¡ª after someone was bitten by a zombie the first symptom was precisely that the body temperature would suddenly rise then suddenly drop. And then, while in that high fever he ''absorbed a high level zombie''s core'', the reason to absorb a crystal core is to replenish the powers that you used up, but the protagonist basically didn¡¯t use his powers at that time so isn''t this action unnecessary? Lastly, he ''witnessed hisrade being bitten'' ¡ª the problem here being, there was no mention of that bittenrade when Qiu Xiangyu happened to save the protagonist. Those two were definitely trapped in one ce, moreover, the guy was just bitten so he should still appear like a normal human. He would be very noticeable in the middle of a zombie crowd.


    The protagonist''s high fever persisted even after the rescue. In the middle of the night he went inside the space in a trance and drank from the spiritual spring that was still only a tiny amount at the time. The next day the high fever receded. After he came to, he found that the space in his mind grew a lot bigger. He first discovered the effect of purifying and strengthening the body as his space slowly grew and his spring also became bigger, since the protagonist drank down an increasing amount of the spring water. Afterwards, he also discovered a spiritual field had appeared inside the space¡­


    He continued to flip through the future plot, he marked out the paragraphs where the protagonist upgraded his spatial ability, reading it carefully until he found out; each ability upgrades ured after the male leads'' fierce battle against the zombies. The protagonist leads the logistics in their team so the unpleasant duty of taking care of the battle spoils afterwards had always been his responsibility.


    The male leads had wanted to take over these duties before, since they loved him very much, though he said these ¡ª ''wants to contribute to the team'', ''doesn''t want to appear too useless'', ''are you discriminating against me?'', ''I''m not a<em><span> canary</em>'' ¡ª to refuse them. And, materials that could be taken from zombies are just their crystal core and¡­the rapidly rotting zombie''s remains after its crystal cores were removed.


    The cause of the virus could result in some variation with the zombies; some had rotting skin, some had bones as hard as steel, several zombies with higher levels were even able to regenerate intact skin and they would look no different from a normal human. One part mentioned members of the survivor''s base going out to get some of these unusual zombie''s bodies for research. And one time, after one of his battles, Wei Xu told the protagonist to prepare the rotting skin zombie so that they can take it to B city and hand it to theb. However, the protagonist refused to because he was too nauseated. Wei Xu thought to take some sample with him but he couldn''t find the zombie remains anymore¡­


    Inexplicably disappearing corpses coupled with the space upgrade, spiritual field which suddenly appeared¡­he covered his mouth. He felt as if he would throw up. If his guess is correct¡­, then from the very start what was in the protagonist''s space was not a spiritual spring and field, but concentrated corpse fluid and a mound maintained by the use of corpses¡­¡­ This is too much of a thriller. He felt like he is watching a horror movie right now.


    In the original story all of the male leads had drank from the spiritual spring, those few members of their small squad who were saved did as well. Besides them there was that put-anything-into-his-mouth-to-help-of-his-research stupid fake-genius¡­


    Ye Zhizhou had now reached the lounge door. Flopping onto the sofa, he took out an extremely big apple from his space, engrossing himself in eating. He needed to eat something sweet to ease his mind that was filled with terrible images.


    Zhong Qiu walked in with a heavy face. When he saw Ye Zhizhou eating like he was starved in hisst life, his heavy mood got a little better. He sat down beside him and took him in his arms. His head moved in for a sniff, "You definitely look like you''re eating something very sweet, but what I smell is a sour scent instead. Luckily for me, your body''s smell is very nice, I really like it."


    Ye Zhizhou stopped biting his apple. He suddenly recalled a part of the plot, all of the male leads was repulsed by the spring water''s vour after drinking it. They all said they didn''t want to drink it again. The protagonist couldn¡¯t ept it, he angrily said that the spring''s water was definitely sweet. What''s more, after the protagonist got the spiritual field he never ate anything the male leads collected. He would say those things all had a strange taste and he couldn''t swallow it down, he would only eat crops his space yielded. This unexpectedly made the male leads feel touched, they said he paid too much attention to others, the small squad had a lot of supplies and he didn''t need to save food like that¡­¡­


    Completely different taste from the male leads, feeling that normal human foods tasted strange, recovering from the high fever immediately after drinking the spring water, a body made stronger by the spring''s ''purifying and strengthening'' effect¡­ Ye Zhizhou bit down the apple, suspicions shing through his eyes followed with fright.


    This world''s protagonist¡­ Is he still human?


    "Why did you stop eating?"


    "Zhong Qiu." Ye Zhizhou titled his head ¡ª tter ¡ª he took out a pile of food from his space and pushed it towards him. "Smell these, do all these have a strange smell?"


    Zhong Qiu moved back, his aversion of those food clearly written on his face, "Xiao Chen, I really don''t need to eat these. Quickly put those away."


    Sure enough¡­he put away all the food. He grabbed a pheasant from his space and drew a knife to kill it.


    Zhong Qiu hastily gripped his knife-holding hand. Letting out a helpless softugh, he moved forward to hold him and patted on his back to cate him, "Xiao Chen, I''m really not hungry. Don''t worry so much, hm?"


    Loosening his hand, the pheasant fell to the ground. The bird clucked and ran wildly around the lounge. "From now on, you can''t eat just anything for your research! Not even one bite! Do you understand?" Especially the protagonist''s spring water, must not touch even one drop of it!


    Zhong Qiu thought he was still angry about the pill before, so he followed quickly with nod and a promise and quickly turned the topic away. He talked about the zombie vine''s research.


    Ye Zhizhou withdrew from his arms while staring at him helplessly. His thought switched to Wei Xu who had stayed with the protagonist for so long. He grew nervous immediately.


    As the person who''s been with the protagonist the second longest, Wei Xu most likely had drank the spring water. Not good, he had to ask him! He took Zhong Qiu to hisb, had<em><span> miss </em>Bao Bao lead him out of the institute then skimmed the base''s map before going out of the third gate, heading straight to the Wei family''s house''s direction.


    Who could''ve known him rushing to the Wei home would be in vain? Mother Wei told him that Wei Xu just left the house for the Annan base''s fleet of cars and they just missed each other. He quickly said bye and ran to the area where his family''s car was.


    It was already evening. As the second gate''s area was very wide, when he arrived to the fleet it was almostpletely dark. Yan Zheng and Liang Ping were standing outside of a building, they were relieved to see himing back.


    "Just because it''s inside the base doesn¡¯t make it safe. There are times when humans are scarier than zombies, it''s better to take someone with you when going out in the future." Yan Zheng urged with a serious face.


    Liang Ping nodded his head in favour, he also held out a hand to Ye Zhizhou, "I''m hungry."


    Ye Zhizhou''s highly strung mind waspletely broken by the two''s words, he found it funny as he stuffed a big honeydew melon into Liang Ping''s arms, "Did Wei Xue by?"


    Yan Zheng nodded and also answered, "He waited for you and uncle Liu here for a while. But before you arrived he saw the sky was getting darker and left first, he said he''lle again tomorrow, he just left two minutes ago."


    To actually miss him again! He felt speechless, he couldn''t help rolling his eyes¡­ He pped on Yan Zheng''s shoulder and he said, "I need to find him for something. You guys go back first, I''lle back after a while. When my dades back, help me exin it to him so he doesn''t worry."


    Yan Zheng frowned, "Then I will go with you. The base is less safe when it''s dark."


    Liang Ping hurriedly nodded as well. He didn''t even want the melon anymore, he shoved the fruit back to Ye Zhizhou. Ye Zhizhou helplessly let the one man team be a three-men-team.


    Luckily, Wei Xu didn''t walk too fast this time, the three found him after few moments. Just as they were about to run up and call out to him, shouts and cries for help came from the dense side-bush ahead of them.


    They stopped in their tracks, Wei Xu in front of them also halted in ce.


    "Let me go! If brother Wei knows he won''t let you off!"


    "Brat, you actually dare betray me and Xiao Yi! I should''ve taught you a lesson right at that time! Does it feel good being Wei Xu''s dog? You little wussy, you were lucky Xiao Yi agreed to save your life with his spring before,<em><span> you ungrateful wretch</em>!"


    As pained shouts and beating noises rose, Ye Zhizhou''s whole countenance changed. He dashed straight ahead! He was sure the voice that cried out just now was the young man who was very kind to him before! And that man beating him was definitely the bald headed man!


    Wei Xu who was far from them also heard something wrong over there, he immediately sent a row of icicles flying over, each embedded into the wooden post by the bush. He yelled out, "Wang Gang, stop there! If you haveints youe to me! You call yourself a man and bully Fang Yunqi?!"


    The movement behind the bushes stopped. Ye Zhizhou also stopped in ce, a tall silhouette dragged out a thinner figure out of the bushes, his tone full of ridicule, "Yo, just when I hit the dog the owner came looking for him. You''re so quick, ah. Did you put a chain on him?"


    Wei Xu didn¡¯t feel like talking nonsense with him. His icicles flew straight to the tall figure. Wang Gang had never awakened an ability, but he''s not even a bit afraid right now. He stood his ground and caught the icicles with his hands ¡ª not only that, he caught and cracked the several icicles heading towards him. The ones he didn''t catch hit his body like eggs hitting a rock, all of them broke into pieces.


    Wei Xu had some qualms because of their previous rtionship, his attack was very careful and restrained. Even so, it''s not that restrained that it would be so ineffective to a normal human like this. He frowned and his face grew solemn.


    Fang Yunqi coughed. He cried out to warn, "Brother Wei, run away! Something''s wrong with Wang Gang''s body, it''s very hard, don''t fight hi¡ª Urgh!"


    Wang Gang withdrew his fist. he patted on Fang Yunqi''s cheek, he grinned as he threatened, "Your life is in my hands now, if I don''t allow you to talk you better shut up, you trash."


    Ye Zhizhou who was standing still now had a gloomy expression, his spiritual force spread out of him and forward. Yan Zheng and Liang Ping saw and didn''t stay silently watching anymore, theyunched attacks in session. Wei Xu was startled by the three men who suddenly appeared, but he quickly recovered and also sent out an attack.


    4 vs 1, with Liang Ping used his speed ability to grab Fang Yunqi back first, the other three lost all restraints. They directly overthrew Wang Gang and beat him to the ground. Ye Zhizhou pulled back his fists with a disdainful sneer, "To have your body change to this extent, how much of that spring water did your ''Xiao Yi'' make you drink? You said Fang Yunqi is trash, then what are you right now?<em><span> Trash 2.0</em>?"


    Yan Zheng held Wang Gang firmly to the ground that he couldn¡¯t resist in any way. Only his face could twist in anger as he listened, he red hatefully at Ye Zhizhou, "In what way are you better, Liu Chen! Don''t think you¡¯re so great just because you awakened a spatial ability! If not for Xiao Yi, can you even awaken your ability? I see you and Wei Xu are well matched, a pair of d¡Ämned hand-biting<em><span> cheaters</em>! Xiao Yi helped you all so much but you not only forget his kindness, you even abandoned him when a zombie wave was approaching!<em><span> Bah</em>! You''re all a bunch of cowards!"


    This misrepresentation of the facts made Ye Zhizhou unbearably angry, his foot raised, and he ruthlessly stomped down on Wang Gang. He growled, "Is this what Xu Yi told you guys? Me and Wei Xu are together? When the zombies attacked we ran away first? There were notices about the retreat passed around in the base for days, you all just ignored those right?! Spouting nonsense, and even running here to beat Fang Yunqi. Bah! You''re the coward!"


    "Didn''t each one of you get healed with Xiao Yi''s spring water before? If it wasn¡¯t for him, you would''ve died a hundred times over! How would you even be alive to run off to B city?!"


    What words can you say to someone with a sick mind?! Ye Zhizhou sucked in a breath, then turned to the tense-faced Wei Xu, "<strong>This</strong> is your ex-squad member! That person you like and protected before, this is his teammate! This trash has nothing to do with me, I hand this to you. Give me Fang Yunqi, he''ll be in my team from now on. Go back, look for me tomorrow. I have something to tell you." After he finished talking he patted Yan Zheng who was holding the man down, waving to Liang Ping (who was checking Fang Yunqi''s wound for him) over, then turned to leave.


    Wang Gang wanted to run away when the restraints on him loosened, but Wei Xu''s hand immediately chopped at his neck and made him lose consciousness. He watched Ye Zhizhou''s back, gradually disappearing to the end of the road, until he couldn''t see him anymore. He heaved a sigh. His decision to bring Xu Yi back to Annan base at that time seemed to be a total mistake. If only he had never met Xu Yi in the first ce¡­.


    [Probability of Wei Xu falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 10%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou swept a nce at the screen, he tapped on the small mirror in his pocket, saying in his mind, "Help me do a scan of Fang Yunqi, see if there''s a problem with his body."


    The light screen turn into a beam, scanning the other man. Shortly after it popped out, [Evolved version of the zombie virus found. It''s a small amount and there are no risk of contamination. Pills applicable:plete replenishment pill.]


    "¡­Give me one."


    The small mirror vibrated and sent out a pill, slightly bigger in size, into his palm.


    "Boss." Liang Ping who had been silently supporting Fang Yunqi all along started to speak, his normally unmoved brows creased. "Was that Wang Gang''s body transformed by the spring?"


    "En." He put away the pill and then answered with a nod, he thought and added, "Do you remember Xu Yi from Annan base? The spring I talked about is from his spiritual space. There''s something wrong with that spring water, you definitely must not drink it, okay?"


    Liang Ping''s head bobbed, his brows quickly wrung into a knot, "That Wang Gang''s body¡­ It''s very strange, just now I used my scalpel to cut though his skin but couldn¡¯t draw blood," he paused, "that spring water is nothing good. It has to be destroyed."


    [Probability of Liang Ping falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congrattions to the host for removing the first g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou was a little giddy by this<em><span> unbelievable luck</em>. Directly pulling out a g?<em><span> Little friend </em>Liang Ping, how can you be so decisive? If he''s right, wasn''t this only his second drop? For it to actually fall to zero¡­ The first reduced the odds to half, this sort of efficiency was simply unbelievable! He looked at Liang Ping''s expressionless face deeply, then tossed a pomegranate from the space to him, "Your reward, eat a lot."


    Liang Ping''s eyes brightened and he rushed to take the pomegranate, tucking the fruit inside his white robe''s pocket.


    ¡­Such a well-fed boy, ah.


    [Probability of Yan Zheng falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    He quickly turned his head toward the taciturn Yan Zheng''s by his side. After considering it, he took out another pomegranate, tossing it over and said, "If you want to eat fruit, say so. I won''tugh at you."


    This world''s male leads are all little angels like he thought, if his meat pies want anything he would stuff them full of it.


    Yan Zheng was thinking of Wang Gang''s oddity while inwardly being afraid of the spiritual spring''s owner. He stared nkly but his lip twisted, he took the pomegranate with a ''thanks'', then stuffed it into his waist pocket without another word.


    Fang Yunqi was watching over here and then over there, his mouth pursed together.


    Ye Zhizhou turned his head just in time to catch this. His head was full with ellipses. He took out another pomegranate and passed it to him, "Your hand''s injured, be careful when you eat so you don''t tear your wound."


    Little friend Fang instantly bloomed like flowers in warm spring.


    The day''s already over¡­ He rubbed his face, he felt he should give Fang Yunqi the pill after some time, in case Liang Ping and Yan Zheng saw him give it out and think it''s some candy and want him to share some with them too. What should he do then¡­? He doesn''t want to be a kindergarten lunchdy.


    Because Wang Gang didn''t return all night Xu Yi was a bit worried, he pulled Qiu Xiangyu out to go look for him. They searched until they reached a ce near the second gate. Xu Yi made an abrupt stop and watched the metal gate in the shadows that seemed to grow taller and taller.


    "What''s wrong?"


    He snapped out of it, turned back to Qiu Xiangyu with a smile and shook his head.


    "It''s nothing, I just thought I saw something white shing past." He caught a whiff of a really nice scent, and surprisingly that smell appealed greatly to him¡­. There''s something good in this base.


    In the shadows not far from them, Zhong Qiu''s eyes were turning yellow as he yed with a small wind de in hand. To stink to this extent, who are these two?

 Chapter 50

    Putting away his wind de Zhong Qiu took out the form and injected it into himself, his eyes followed the two''s backs gradually moving farther and his lips curved up in delight.


    Whatever they are, won''t it be a done matter if he just capture them?


    The next day, Wei Xu came running to Ye Zhizhou as soon as the sun rose, extremely energetic. However, Zhong Qiu had climbed up Ye Zhizhou''s bed in the middle of the night, and now Ye Zhizhou who just woke up was kicking Zhong Qiu down the bed with all his might.


    The situation was bit awkward.


    Zhong Qiu greeted him with a wind de, "Didn''t your kindergarten teacher teach you to knock on doors?"


    Wei Xu dodged to the side, he swept a nce at Ye Zhizhou''s loose cor and moved his line of sight in difort. His face hardened and he said, "From small till now I never knocked to enter Xiao Chen''s room, and he''s never asked me to."


    Zhong Qiu got up from bed, his anger reached to the extreme, his eyes started to turn yellower, "From today, he asks you to."


    Getting up from the bed Ye Zhizhou was even more angry than Zhong Qiu, he pushed a pill into Zhong Qiu''s mouth as he came down the bed. He was gritting his teeth when he turned to Wei Xu, "Oh, you came. Just in time. There''s something the matter with Fang Yunqi. Go help Yan Zheng and the others, take him to the research institute."


    Wei Xu frowned, "What''s the matter?"


    "Nothing, just treating his head, and he needs to get an exam done. Zhong Qiu has all the equipments in the institute so the result will be out fast." Ye Zhizhou looked him up and down once and asked, "Xu Yi''s spring''s water, did you drink it?"


    Wei Xu nodded his head, a bit puzzled, "What''s this about?"


    "It''s nothing." He strode up to him, taking advantage of his moment of unguardedness to feed him aplete replenishment pill, and smiled at him, "Okay, now you can go apany Fang Yunqi."


    Zhong Qiu very disgruntledly pulled down his hand, gripped it, while leveling an icy look at Wei Xu. "Not allowed to touch him."


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes. Wei Xu wanted to say something but the words choked back down by the sudden warm sensation inside his body. He covered his stomach, took deep breaths of the cool air, asking with difficulty, "Xiao Chen, what did you made me eat?"


    "Something good that''ll save your life." Ye Zhizhou patted his shoulder. He waved to Liang Ping outside of the door, "Put him on your back, let''s go!"


    The group stealthily went out of the third gate straight to the research institute as the sky brightened.


    The new machine they carried back was already operating inb one. Zhong Qiu called out to his assistants so they can take Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi''s blood, then they were brought back to the examination room on a wheelchair. Ye Zhizhou let Yan Zheng and Liang Ping go with them while he himself went to Zhong Qiu''s side, watching the blood sample in his hands, "You said you can tell what''s wrong with them by the smell of their blood, is that true?"


    "I can." Zhong Qiu nodded. He put the samples into the machine and started the analysis process. He said to Ye Zhizhou while jotting down the data. "It''s especially smelly. It''s very simr to the smell I caught yesterday. I wanted to catch that person from yesterday to study him properly but I didn''t expect him to disappear. I can only take hisrade back with me."


    "The smell you smelled yesterday?" Zhong Qiu''s words startled Ye Zhizhou. "What did you do yesterday?"


    Zhong Qiu looked a bit puzzled at him. "Haven''t I told you?"


    Ye Zhizhou shot him a disdainful look.


    "Oh right, when I arrived you were already sleeping. Your sleeping posture is extremely cute, I can only watch you for half a night." Zhong Qiu jotted down the results then closed his notebook, bending sideways to hug him. "Xiao Chen you''re so cute, I really want to take off your clothes."


    Ye Zhizhou returned his deration with a fist.


    They bantered for a while before Zhong Qiu finally got serious. He briefly spoke about how he smelled the stink yesterday, that he went to catch the person but he disappeared, and how he quickly caught hispanion instead. Afterwards he concluded, "Failing to catch him is not because I was weaker, that person was strange."


    With these words Ye Zhizhou already determined the man he''s talking about was none other than Xu Yi, he fell into deep thoughts, his head bent down slightly. Zhong Qiu could smell the stinking from the protagonist so he surely noticed something amiss with that spring water. In the original story, Zhong Qiu got interested in the protagonist after a traitor from their squad gave him some of the spring water, and that traitor¡­ He flipped through the system''s provided data and his brow creased. That traitor was actually Wang Gang. ording to Wang Gang''s defensive attitude of Xu Yi yesterday, the betrayal in the original story was simply too suspicious. Not only that, the protagonist unexpectedly forgave this traitor very quickly after he was saved. Before, when he read the plot, he cursed the protagonist''s ''iparable kindness'' character setting in his heart, but now that he read it again, it was extremely suspicious.


    He couldn''t stop himself from looking up to Zhong Qiu''s gentle handsome face, gingerly touching the other''s eyes. The protagonist''s space required special zombie corpses to upgrade a level. The Zhong Qiu right now was an unusual half-human half-zombie, he could be considered as the most unique being in this world. If Wang Gang''s ''betrayal'' was just a n to obtain Zhong Qiu''s body¡­ His arms quickly tightened around Zhong Qiu. He felt somewhat scared inside.


    Why did this world''s protagonist setting deviate so much? Although it was the apocalypse, how can a human have such a cruel character to this extent?


    Because he was thinking of some unpleasant things, his expression was ugly when he met the captive Qiu Xiangyu.


    "So it was you." Qiu Xiangyu''s hands and legs were restrained on the bed, he looked at him with cold eyes, "I didn''t expect you to attack Xu Yi,<em><span> viin</em>!"


    Ye Zhizhou sized up this male lead number one who had always been protecting Xu Yi by his side silently, looking at his gentle and reserved facial features to his too white skin, and sneered, "Viin? You''re the so called top student, but how is it that your brain''s not that good? Wei Xu''s simple-minded but even he noticed something''s off with Xu Yi. How can you, a genius with higher IQ than normal people, not see through it? Did you go stupid from the zombie virus he fed you?"


    "I can''t allow you to nder Xiao Yi!"


    "Idiocy is an illness. Today I will treat you," Ye Zhizhou waved his hand and Tongtian passed him twoplete replenishment pills. He walked up to him and pinched his mouth open, forcing the pills into his mouth. Then he wiped his hand on the man''s clothes, smiling, "Seeing is believing. Let''s go, I''ll take you to watch a good show."


    Almost the second he swallowed the pill, Qiu Xiangyu struggled in pain, his skin became red, blood vessels bulged out, beneath the pale white skin the fast flow of his blood can be seen. Ye Zhizhou rang the bell and called a nurse. His face kept calm as he looked at Qiu Xiangyu''s veins bulging out more as he struggled. His heart felt heavy, the reaction was so big. Qiu Xiangyu''s body might have been almost fully transformed by the spring''s water, if they were just a bitter, whether the man''s human appearance could be preserved or not is questionable.


    Before Ye Zhizhou took him into a quarantine room made of ss, he fed Qiu Xiangyu a calming pill. As his tense face eased his head was turned towards the quarantine room, Ye Zhizhou said coldly, "You see Wang Gang inside? He was like you, he has some bad things inside his body. The researchers just injected him with a semi-finished zombie<em><span> vine </em>which should suppress the virus in his body for now. You look at how he is now! If he didn''t still have a bit of reason left in him he could hardly be considered a person anymore!"


    Zhong Qiu''s people took Wang Gang from Wei Xu''s house after he went inside the research institute.His mind was too stimted at the time and the researchers had to fight him before he could be examined in greater detail, the result was not too great. For fear that the zombie virus would continue to corrode his body, Zhong Qiu used the half-finished cure for the first time on him. Yet, the virus was too powerful in his body, the cure could only suppress a bit of it and also weakened his immunity, as a result Wang Gang''s showed the signs of zombification, his condition worsened instead of improved.


    Currently, Zhong Qiu''s entire team was frantically busy trying to solve Wang Gangs zombie appearance, not only that, they also had a super uncooperative Qiu Xiangyu being noisy on the side. His condition was not much better than Wang Gang. It was simply vexing!


    Wang Gang in the quarantine now had pale face with eyes sticking out of his face, veins on his skin could be made out faintly, his appearance looked frightening. The loudspeaker in the room clearly transmitted his hoarse distorted snarls, each sound would shake your thoughts and make you shudder from fright.


    "What did you guys do to him?!" Qiu Xiangyu felt much better after eating the calming pill, he was furious and started to struggle fiercely on his wheelchair, "Let me go! You monsters! I don''t trust your shi¦Ó¦Óy cure! You must be using abilities to do human experiment, who knows if that zombie virus was originally made by you science maniacs! "


    "Who''s really doing experiments here!? Open your eyes wide and look clearly, think with your brain!" Ye Zhizhou red up in anger. He roared, "Look at Wang Gang! The semi-finished zombie cure we gave him was supposed to suppress zombie virus, but you look at him now! Irritable, unstable, with some signs of zombification, what does this say? It means the amount of virus in him is not what the cure is capable of suppressing as of now! And didn''t you think about how the virus got in his body when he''s never been bitten before? Check your own body, can you feel it now? Inside your body something is working slowly to kill your humanity!"


    Qiu Xiangyu was stunned.


    Ye Zhizhou pushed him to one of examination rooms on another corridor, carrying him to Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi''s front. "Look at them too. Don''t they look a bit ill? Because they''re the same as you, they''ve drank that spring''s water and had umted some variety of the zombie virus!"


    Being used as an example exhibit, Wei Xu''s face stiffened, but he nodded to Qiu Xiangyu as a geeting. Compared to Wei Xu''s indifference, Fang Yunqi was much more enthusiastic, he actively started talking, "Vice leader, you finally came! Don''t worry, it''ll be okay soon. The medicine Xiao Chen gave is very effective. Mr. Zhong also said shortly the vine will be made, the virus in our bodies will all be cleared."


    Qiu Xiangyu looked at Wei Xu, then Fang Yunqi, finally he calmed down and fell into deep thoughts.


    "Qiu Xiangyu, have you never wondered?" Ye Zhizhou followed timely with sentence, "The spring''s water¡­. Doesn''t it smell a lot like the foul zombies?"


    His hands suddenly tightened around the wheelchair''s armrest, his back was taut, and his head bowed, he didn''t speak anymore.


    "Think about it." Ye Zhizhou released his grip on his armrest. He gave Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi a look then continued, "There are many suspicious things, disregard the halo on Xu Yi, and you''ll find a lot of interesting things about him."


    [Probability of Qiu Xiangyu falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 90%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Such intense talk only dropped his probability by 10%, Qiu Xiangyu deserved to be called the person most devoted to Xu Yi. The great undertaking of pulling out gs seems to be a waste of time, he switched off the screen and turned to go out. First leave this stone-headed Qiu Xiangyu to Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi, for the time being there''s nothing he can do.


    Xu Yi found a corner in the base to hide, he was panicked and excited. The reason for panic was because the person with a great scent would unexpectedly take the initiative to attack him, he was also particrly strong, even Qiu Xiangyu had no strength to resist. Fortunately he escaped into the space in time, if not, he couldn''t think of what the result might have been. His excitement was because of that man''s extremely human-like appearance! Someone who smelled good to him would definitely be a zombie, but this zombie is entirely human in appearance, his body was obviously special, if he can get these special nutrients¡­..


    It was as if the space could feel his excitement, the crystal core in his brain started to send heat waves. He raised a hand and pressed on his forehead, on a face so delicate it looked inhuman, a twisted smile formed. He''ll bide his time, he needed to n carefully. Right now both Wang Gang and Qiu Xiangyu aren''t by his side, he needed to think carefully on how to obtain that special zombie.


    Zhong Qiu who got a big lead in developing the vine in this short time was busy doing a three-men job, and Ye Zhizhou was careful not to disturb him. He left Liang Ping who had studied medicine with him and went back to the base with Yan Zheng.


    Ye Zhizhou told Liu Tao the general outline of what happened from yesterday night to this morning. After that, he went to the Wei house and notified them of Wei Xu''s whereabouts to calm his family, then he detoured to check the ce that Xu Yi''s squad stayed at. He saw that they were operating normally and it seems like no one discovered that Wang Gang and Qiu Xiangyu had gone missing. He couldn''t hold back his frown, but he turned to return to the base.


    He considered taking back all of Xu Yi''s squad to theb so they can be examined at first, but Zhong Qiu said that he had a special arrangement and he wanted him to stay put for a while. Xu Yi''s squad was too peaceful from the situation he''d seen just now. As if they didn¡¯t mind at all that Wang Gang and Qiu Xiangyu didn''t return all night, had Xu Yi returned and calmed them down? Then where is that man now?


    He wanted to walk up and ask, but he was afraid he will alert Xu Yi. The protagonist doesn¡¯t know about Zhong Qiu''s status as researcher right now, he had no idea the wrongness of his spring has been revealed and that Wei Xu and his group has sided with Zhong Qiu. They know all about him but he''s still in the dark about them, this is a very advantageous situation, if he rashly went to ask, some information might get leaked. That would spell out ''loss outweighs the gains''.


    He tangled over it, hesitated a bit, but sighed and went back to the base in the end. Forget it. Believe in Zhong Qiu, his lover''s problem solving capability leaves no room for doubt. Once the vine is developed, whatever it is, it will not be a problem anymore.


    Yan Zheng apanied him on his trip, he looked pensive, "Liu Chen, Xu Yi''s spring is very strange, have you thought of how to destroy itpletely? As long as that space is around we won''t be able to catch him no matter how long, furthermore, from your analysis that space will continue to upgrade, as long as that thing exists, the apocalypse will never end."


    Ye Zhizhou only recalled this very important matter now, with his space the protagonist can hide from people and can upgrade, the inside also has a big mass of zombie virus, it was basically an ''apocalypse'' with feet! In the original story, after the protagonist died, the zombies began to rapidly evolve, could that be because after his death his ability disappeared and all of the virus inside it spread out when the space copsed?!


    This line of thought was simply terrifying.


    That d¡Ämned space can''t be allowed to be upgraded any further, furthermore, it needs to be destroyed!


    "Yan Zheng." He halted, his whole face turned grave, "You''re asking the right thing. We must think of a way to destroy Xu Yi''s space while also keeping him alive! I suspect at his death his space will crumble and release all the zombie virus in it."


    "While keeping him alive?" Yan Zheng''s brows knitted, killing intent shing through his eyes, "This harmful person, how can he stay alive? If it''s because the virus inside him might spread, put him in a sealed room and kill him while contained."


    [Probability of Yan Zheng falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congrattions to the host for removing the second g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Taking a glimpse at the screen, Ye Zhizhou''s eyes squinted. He pped his shoulders with a face full of delight, "Yan Zheng, good job!"


    He liked his character, once he decide to hate someone he could even kill them!

    Editor: Yuika


    After the inspection, Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi left the institute and returned to their residences. Liu Tao began to meet with the higher ups of B city base. Zhong Qiu was busy developing a vine. He was wandering around outside to look for clues all day long. Liang Ping stayed in the institute and refused toe out. In only one day''s time, everyone seems to have be busy.


    Xu Yi has not been seen since the arrest of Qiu Xiangyu, and his team have quickly disappeared into all corners of the base. Wei Jia and Zhong Jia have joined forces and began secretly looking for them in the base.


    Ye Zhizhou, who was doing nothing, simply took over the logistics work, dragging Fang Yunqi with him, began to prepare meals for everyone, three meals a day and after dinner some fruits. It was only then that everyone discovered that he had a good cooking skill, and the dishes he made were so delicious that they wanted to swallow their tongue. A wealthy person who had been pampered for several generations, Ye Zhizhou, who had been eating royal food for a lifetime in ancient times, disdained after seeing the way these pigs were eating. A group of uncultured vigers, what he made cannot measure up to the imperial dishes he learned in his previous life!


    Zhong Qiu''s face was ck as he looked at the dishes on the table and two who were eating with pleasure, the color of his eyes changed, and a small whirlwind began to blow around him. "The instrument in the thirdboratory needs cleaning. Let the both of you go."


    Lau Bo and Bao Bao who were called out by their boss shrunk their shoulders, and then buried their heads and ate faster. This kind of unscrupulous boss bullying the employees, they had to experience everyday. Heaven and earth are big, but eating is bigger <sup>[1]</sup>, they can talk about work after eating!


    Zhong Qiu was even more angry, and looked at Liang Ping sitting on the other side of the table.


    ¡°I came to help for free, you can¡¯t exploit me.¡±


    Liang Ping quickly cut a few pieces of meat and gave them to Ye Zhizhou.


    ¡°Boss, your boyfriend is too fierce.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou knew what he meant and took out a bunch of bananas.


    ¡°I have least of this in my space, you eat slowly, or I won''t be able to give you anymore.¡±


    After saying this he takes the te of meat, and walks over to Zhong Qiu, threatening him with the te.


    ¡°Dare to change into a zombie, I''ll let you eat this.¡±


    Zhongqiu was so smothered by the smell of the meat that the color of his eyes changed a few times. Finally, with difficulty, he turned back to normal. Then, he nced at the people who were still eating, stretched his arms, held Ye Zhizhou by the waist and brought him away to the lounge.


    The two stopped in front of the confinement room, and Ye Zhizhou quickly forked a piece of meat into his mouth, and asked vaguely, ¡°How is the situation of Wang Gang?


    ¡°The second batch of semi-finished vines have been able to sessfully suppress the virus in his body. However, after the virus was controlled, his physical condition began to deteriorate rapidly.¡± Zhong Qiu looked away from the meat and put his nose close to his ear and softly breathe in.


    This perverted idiot-like movement¡­ Ye Zhizhou spat in the heart,<em></em>ate the rest of the meat in three or two bites, threw the te into the space, tossed a piece of gum into his mouth, and continued to ask, ¡°How is Qiu Xiangyu?¡±


    ¡°His situation is a little better, only the level of the ability has dropped two levels, and the mental condition is still bad.¡± Without the smell of the steak, Zhong Qiu suffered a little, kissed the corners of his mouth, and his hands also began to be wander.


    Obviously can¡¯t stand up, but still want to take advantage! Ye Zhizhou skillfully shook off his hand and took out a piece of paper from the space. ¡°The upgraded version of the convergence symbol, the lock symbol, should we use it now?¡± After the exchange, everyone agreed that Xu Yi this kind of dangerous person it is better to catch them earlier. This lock symbol for the closed atmosphere provided by the helpful system.


    Zhong Qiu nced at the paper in his hand and did not ask him where he got it. He bowed his head and kissed him before bringing him to the outside of the institute. He pointed to the outer wall of the institute.


    "The higher ups have decided to define the scope of the blockade as the entire research institute. Is the paper enough?¡±


    The entire institute? He raised his eyebrows and nodded. ¡°Yes, it is enough to block the entire base.¡± Just don¡¯t know what the above leaders are nning. It has been a few days, and he hasn''t seen any movement.


    So, two dayster, the head of the base finally finalized Zhong Qiu''s n for Qing Yi. That night, Wang Gang was released as a bait from the Institute. At two o¡¯clock in the morning, Xu Yi, who had been missing for a long time, appeared.


    Yan Zheng hidden in the dark and looked at the figure that appeared as if it was out of thin air. He clenched the saber and his power also began to move. Wei Xu held Yan Zheng''s shoulders tightly and spread his abilities to neutralize the fire abilities that he did not consciously mean to use. He made a gesture of keep calm towards him. Ye Zhizhou nced at the two people in front of him, moved a little backwards, carefully mobilized the mental power left on Wang Gang, and began to monitor his conversation with Xu Yi.


    Wang Gang, who was in a very bad state, was unbelieving when he was released from the institute. It was not until he saw Xu Yi that he realized that this was real.


    ¡°Xiao Yi.¡± He rushed toward the refined and beautiful young man; his face full of craving. ¡°Give me some spring water. Those animals, I don¡¯t know what they injected into me, but now I¡¯m like this and my hands and feet feel weak, you have to help me!¡±


    Xu Yi''s face was worried and anxious. He quickly took out a cup of spring water and asked him, "What animals? Wang Ge, what have you been doing these days to have this kind of appearance?"


    Wang Gang quickly took the spring water to drink, and after taking a breath, he said angrily, ¡°Of course I meant the group of beasts from the research institute! I went out to help you exchange materials that day and happened to meet Fang Yunqi that traitor. I thought about teaching him a lesson! Don''t know where Wei Xu and that little white face, Liu Chen<sup>[2]</sup> suddenly came out from, they not only took Fang Yunqi away with two helpers, but also tied me up and took me to the Wei family. The next morning, I took the chance while Wei Xu was not there to run away, but I was caught by a group of people wearing white coats, and was taken to a small room in the institute. Every day, I was injected with some weird potions, and finally I became this ghost like person!¡±


    "Wei Xu and Liu Chen?" Xu Yi frowned slightly. "The ones who caught you were them? And what is going on in the research institute?" The information obtained was too different from his guess, and he could not understand it. He always thought that Wang Gang and Qiu Xiangyu were both taken away by the strange zombie that suddenly appeared that day, in order to seek the spiritual spring of his through Wang Gang and Qiu Xiangyu. After all, for the zombies, the breath of his body is very attractive, so he had been careful to hide in the space, afraid to be found by the strange zombie through the smell and be caught.


    ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore, it¡¯ll just make me angry! When I recover, <em>I</em>¡®ll kill that group of bastards sooner orter!¡± Wang Gang became angrier as he thought about it and couldn''t help smashing the cup. Then he thought of something and said, ¡°Yes, I also saw Qiu Xiangyu in that terrible ce! He looked like he was in a bad state, Xiao Yi, are the members of our team being targeted? There are also Wei Xu and Fang Yunqi, I seem to have seen them too! Xiao Yi, must be Liu Chen! That viin must have hated that we let him fall into the zombie pile, so he colluded with the institute and used his dad''swork in B city base to take care of us!"


    ¡°You saw Qiu Xiangyu?!¡± Xu Yi only noticed this. After a big shock, he quickly asked, ¡°Have you seen a tall, thin, phoenix-eyed man with a wind type ability?¡±


    ¡°You mean Zhong Qiu?¡± When he mentioned this name, Wang Gang''s expression became distorted, and his voice was full of hatred. "His ability is wind; it must be him then! He is the Dean of the institute! The one that experimented on me was him!"


    Xu Yi couldn¡¯t help but take a step back and his face was full of incredibility. The strange zombie is actually the leader of the research vine in the B city base? A zombie, researching a vine to kill zombies for humans? How ridiculous, there are such absurd things in this world! No wonder he has been unable to find the trace of the other side. It turns out that the other party has been nestled in the research institute in the third door ¨C the ce that is the most hateful ce for zombies!


    The several people who were arrested, Wei Xu, Fang Yunqi, Wang Gang, Qiu Xiangyu, were all people who had drunk his spirit spring water! The strange zombie really noticed the uniqueness of his spring water, and the other party wanted to slowly pick up the and catch him! No, he can¡¯t go on like this! He must find a way to break out of this situation as soon as possible! The other side¡¯s power is too big, and his side is too weak. If he is unfortunately caught, with only his non-aggressive healing ability, he wouldpletely be a fish on the other''s cutting board!


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong Xiao Yi?¡± Wang Gang was a little muddled by his changing face. He felt that he was very strange at this time and couldn¡¯t help but change topic. ¡°Right, what about our team? Why don''t I see them?¡±


    Xu Yi returned to back to himself and restored his usual appearance. He casually said a few words to deceive him, and his eyes shed a dark light. He and the strange zombie are already in an endless situation<sup>[3]</sup>, and the other side''s offensive is fierce. The ideas he had before are all useless, and he has to find a new way.


    Ye Zhizhou carefully recovered his mental strength and gently patted Yan Zheng and Wei Xu''s shoulders, indicating that they should retreat. Afterpletely leaving the scope of the two men''s perceptions, he made an "OK" sign and said, "Everything is going well, Wei Xu, you get ready to act."


    Wei Xu''s tight expression rxed a little, and his mood was a bitplicated. "Do you really want to take that next step, Xu Yi, he¡­"


    ¡°He is not what you think, wake up.¡± Yan Zheng squinted and gently touched the scabbard of the saber. ¡°Don¡¯t be soft, don¡¯t show ws, otherwise everyone¡¯s efforts will be wasted. He can hide in his space and we only have this opportunity to catch him."


    Wei Xu squinted and nodded; he was silent afterwards.


    The second day after Wang Gang and Xu Yi met, they began to gather members of the scattered squad. At the same time, the rumors of the research institute catching humans to experiment on began to spread slowly, and the atmosphere of the base became tense.


    One day, Wei Xu deliberately went out from the third door at noon, the active time in the B city base. He also looked at the door with hatred and then went home. That night, Xu Yi found Wei Xu.


    The instrument made a crisp ¡°beep¡± sound, Zhong Qiu woke from his light sleep, quickly approached the instrument opened it, carefully took out a dark blue medicine from inside, seal it, and then open the test data and read it.


    Ye Zhizhou blinked and sat up, confused and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is the resulting out?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Chen.¡±


    "What?"


    ¡°The end of the world ising to an end.¡± Zhong Qiu slowly put down the information and his expression sincere. ¡°The vine has been sessfully developed, and we can build a house.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou''s sleepiness disappeared instantly, first he felt surprise and, then he was so angry that he went over to scold him. ¡°You are a jerk with a waste of brains! Is now the time to say this?!¡±


    Zhong Qiu happily hugged him and bowed his head to kiss his forehead. ¡°Xiao Chen, everyone finally has no need to suffer.¡±


    The fist that was thrown out was put down, paused, and changed his neck instead. He buried his face in the neck of the other and stuck his face to the cold skin. ¡°En.. wait until you get well, I¡¯ll cook for you¡± This man sacrificed himself to make this vine. Now, the darkness is finally over.


    In the base, there was a raging crusade against the research institute, and the leader was the Wei family, who was in charge of the safety of the base. The third door was rammed by the angry base residents again and again, and was finally violently broken by the ability users after an entire night.


    Xu Yi followed Wei Xu and passed through the third door. He quickly said, ¡°We will kill Zhongqiu and save Xiangyu first. He has been captured for so long and may not be able to hold on any longer!¡±


    Wei Xu heard the footsteps pause, and then quickly nced over and nodded and replied, ¡°Rest assured, he will be saved.¡± But not by you.


    Wang Gang, who had been transformed by spring water, waved a big axe and said with a sullen look. ¡°This son of a bitch Zhong Qiu! I, Wang Gang must break him into eight pieces today! Wei Ge, I used to misunderstand you, I didn¡¯t expect you to have some courage, knowing that you were being bullied and came back for revenge! When the Zhong Jia falls, this base will be your Wei Jia¡¯s. When that happens, you have to remember your brother, and give me a good position."


    Wei Xu was disgusted and frowned, speeding up his pace. Xu Yi pulled Wang Gang aside and told him not to talk nonsense. Now Wei Xu is not the good captain who protected him wholeheartedly. The two are now only working together because of hatred and the same goal. Now it is a critical moment, better not provoke each other.


    The location of the institute is rtively close to the center, and the guards are very strict. Wei Xu and Xu Yi¡¯s team took a lot of effort to break through the outeryers of severalyers of protection to reach the center.


    In the maze-like corridor, they walked for a long time, and passed through one room after another room, Xu Yi was impatient. ¡°Wei Ge, where exactly is Xiangyu locked up at? And there is that Zhong Qiu, didn''t you say he usually patrols around here, why is there no sign of him?¡±


    Wei Xu stopped and looked at him sideways. ¡°Xiao Yi, do you really want the end of the world to end?¡±


    ¡°Of course I do.¡± Xu Yi looked at him inexplicably, thought about it, eased his expression and said, ¡°Wei Ge, I know that you are worried that killing Zhong Qiu will affect the development of the vine, but this world has many smart people. There are so many people, is he the only one who has the ability to develop a vine? And even if there is no vine, the spring water in my hand can also suppress the zombie virus. When this is over, I am willing to provide the water for the base residents until the day the vine is developed.¡±


    ¡°Freely offering spring water¡­¡± Wei Xu heard these words, suddenly bowed his head and smiled coldly, then retreated and opened the doors of a nearby room. ¡°Xu Yi, I really regret meeting you at the beginning.¡± He entered the room, closed the door and locked it.


    [Wei Xu and the protagonist¡¯s love chance has dropped to 0%, the third soul g was removed, congrattions to the host, asking the host to continue your persistent efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou nced at the pop-up screen and looked at Zhong Qiu, who was watching the surveince. ¡°Catch him?¡±


    Zhong Qiu looked away from the screen, took out a few vines from the freezer, smiled, ¡°Catch, I''ll go catch them personally.¡±


    In the hallway, Xu Yi, who was stupefied by Wei Xu''s inexplicable move, couldn''t help but pat the door, and became angered. "What do you mean by that Wei Ge? Why did you shut yourself up? Wei Ge!"


    ¡°Xiao Yi, you step aside.¡± Wang Gang his face glowering as he pulled him away. He lifted the axe and went to the door. ¡°This kind of person, we should not cooperate with him! Wei Xu, if you are a man,e out! I''ll leave you a life!"


    A gust of wind suddenly came straight from the depths of the corridor, and nearly knocked them over.


    Xu Yi¡¯s face changed sharply, looking sideways at the corridor, and slightly retreating, covering himself with Wang Gang¡¯s body.


    Wang Gang''s expression distorted and shouted, ¡°Zhong Qiu, you bastard,e out! I am going to break you into eight pieces today!¡±


    ¡°Bastard, are you talking about yourself?¡± The cool voice came from behind, and he turned sharply, but he looked straight at the yellow eyes of Zhong Qiu. ¡°Wang Gang, saving your life is my duty, no need to thank me.¡± After saying that, he directly stabbed the needle that was in in his hand into Wang Gang''s neck, and then stretched his leg, kicking him away from Xu Yi.


    Xu Yi was shocked by his sudden appearance, quickly hid behind another person and shouted, ¡°Zombie! There''s a zombie in the institute! Everyone kill him!¡±


    Everyone was shocked, the people behind him rushed to attack Zhong Qiu.


    Slowly taking out the second shot, Zhong Qiu crossed over the attacking group and looked Xu Yi in the eyes, and smiled, ¡°Caught you, virus storehouse.¡±<hr ss="wp-block-separator">

 Chapter 51-52

    Wei Xu andFang Yunqi left the research institute whenthe inspectionfinished, each returning totheir ownhomes. Liu Taostartedtomeet with B citybase''s people more often, Zhong Qiu was preupiedwith developing the cure, YanZheng spent alldaylooking for clues outside, Liang Ping was unwilling toleave the research institute. Inthe span of one dayeveryone seemedtoallbe verybusy.


    Noone has seenXu Yi ever since Qiu Xiangyu was captured, his smallsquadquicklydispersed, scattering tovarious corners of the base. The Wei familyandZhong familyjoinedforces andbegantodoa secret sweeping of everycorner of the base.


    Ye Zhizhou whohadnothing todojust took onallof the logistics work. He draggedFang Yunqi tostart preparing three meals andfruits after meals everydayfor everyone. It was at this moment that everyone discoveredthat he, unexpectedly, couldcook well. The dishes he made were sogoodeveryone wantedtoeat their owntongues too. Ye Zhizhou hadspent a few lives living inriches andhadevenspent one eating imperialmeals, seeing them behaving like pig as theyate, he issueda coldsnort. Inexperiencedbumpkins, he hasn''t evenlearnt the imperialmeals from hisst life!


    A ck facedZhong Qiu lookedat the mealonthe table andat LaoBoandthe others whowere enjoying the food, the look inhis eyes shifted, whirlwinds formedaroundhis body, "The equipment incleanit."


    The shoulders of LaoBoandmiss BaoBaowhowere pointedout slumpeddown. Thentheyspedup their taking inof vegetables anddigging inthe meal. This type of heartless boss bullying his subordinates is what theyexperiencedeveryday, inallof heavenandearth eating is number one, whatever work canbe talkedafter theyfinishedeating!


    Zhong Qiu got evenmore riledup, eyeing the Liang Ping sitting tothe side.


    "I''m helping for free, you can''t force me." Liang Ping quicklyslicedmeat intoseveralchunks andhandedit over toYe Zhizhou, "Boss, your boyfriendis sofierce."


    Ye Zhizhou understoodwhat he meant immediately, he stuffeda bundle of bananas ontohis hands. "This is the smallest amount inmyspace, eat it slowly, or you willhave nothing toeat." He thengatheredthe meat andput it downnext toZhong Qiu, waving arounda threat, "If you dare turnintoa zombie I''llhave you eat this."


    Zhong Qiu''s color of eyes quicklychangedbecause of the meat''s smelluntilhe finallyturnednormalwith difficulty. But he stilllookedat the few people eating onthe other side with gloomylook. His hands stretchedtotake Ye Zhizhou byhis waist, he took him tohide inthe lounge.


    The twostoppedinfront of the quarantine room, Ye Zhizhou pickedone chunk of meat andsent it intohis mouth, he askedcasually, "How is his body''s condition?"


    "The secondbatch of vine canalreadysuppress the virus inhis body, but after the virus has beensuppressedhis body''s conditionstartedtoget worse." Zhong Qiu turneda coldshoulder tothe meat andperchedhis nose next tohis ear, taking a deep breath.


    This abnormalpervertedmove¡­ Ye Zhizhou cursedinhis mind. He tossedthe steak te back intohis space intwo-three neat motions andtosseda chewing gum inhis mouth as he continuedtosay. "How''s Qiu Xiangyu over there?"


    "He¡¯s a bit better, onlyhis abilitygot downgradedtwolevels, his vitalityis as low as always." Zhong Qiu felt better now with the smellof meat gone. He turnedtont a kiss onYe Zhizhou''s lips'' corner andhis hands startedtomisbehave.


    He clearlycan''t get it up but stillloves totease others! Ye Zhizhou tuggedhis hands off ina practicedmotionthentook out a slim piece of paper, waving it infront of him, "Next levelof scent hiding, scent blocking. Dowe start sticking them onnow?" After discussions, everyone agreedit wouldbe better the faster theycaught Xu Yi, this harmfulperson. This scent blocking mark is a helpfulitem, capable of erasing the scentpletely, that the system kindlyprovided.


    Zhong Qiu swept a nce at that paper he was holding, not asking where he got these from. His headdippedtokissedhim once, thenhe swiftlycarriedhim outside. He pointedat the research institute''s outer walls, "The elders decidedthe blockade wouldbe the entire institute, is the paper enough?"


    The whole building? Ye Zhizhou''s eyebrows pickedup, he nodded, "It''s enough, enough toblock the entire base." However, he''s not clear of what the leaders here nned, these few days there were nomovements ontheir part.


    Twomore days passedwhenthe base leader finalisedZhong Qiu''s noneliminating Xu Yi. That night, Wang Gang was releasedout of the research building as a bait. At twointhe morning, Xu Yi whohadbeenmissing for a long time appeared.


    YanZheng was hiddeninthe shadows, whenhe saw a figure of a manseeminglyappear out of nowhere he tightenedhis grip onhis sword, his abilitystartedtoseepedout, eager tostrike. Wei Xu heldhis shoulder back andlet his abilityneutralise the fire he was unconsciouslyemitting, thenhe made a gesture tohim tolet him keep his calm. Ye Zhizhou ncedat the twomeninfront of him andshiftedback a bit while carefullymobilizing the spiritualforce onWang Gang, starting tomonitor the conversationbetweenWang Gang andXu Yi.


    Wang Gang whowas ina verybadconditionstillfelt unrealwhenhe was sent out bythe institute, onlynow that he met Xu Yi that he felt a sense of reality.


    "XiaoYi." He rushedtothe increasinglydelicate andgood-looking young manwith a face fullof thirst, "Give me some of your spring''s water, I don''t know what those beasts inthere injectedme with. It made mybodybecame like this, there''s nostrength inmylimbs, help me, fast."


    Xu Yis'' face lookedworriedandanxious, he quicklytook out a ss of spring water andpassedit tohim while asking, "What beasts? Brother Wang, what didyou dothese few days after you left? How didyou turnout like this?"


    Wang Gang was busydrinking the spring water, he took a slow breath andthentalkedresentfully, "It''s those beasts from that institute! That dayI went out totrade materials for you, I happenedtosee that traitor Fang Yunqi, soI decidedtoteach him a lesson! Who''dhave thought that Wei Xu andthat sissyLiu Chenwouldsuddenlyfriends, theynot onlytook Fang Yunqi, theyalsotiedme up andkept me inWei Xu''s house. After twodays I triedtoescape inthe morning whenWei Xu was not around, but unfortunatelyI was capturedagainbya group of white coats. I was kept ina smallroom intheir research institute, being injectedwith that medicine that made me a mess andbecame this miserable sight!


    "Wei Xu andLiu Chen?" Xu Yi''s brows knittedfaintly, "Theywere the ones whocaught you? What''s that about inthe research institute?" The informationhe got was a lot different from his ownguess andhe couldn''t understandfor a bit. He thought that Wang Gang was capturedbythat strange zombie like Qiu Xiangyu, andboth were capturedinorder tolure him andobtainhis spring. After all, whenites tozombies, his spring emits a veryalluring smell. It was because of this that he was carefultohide inthe space, he was afraidtobe trackedbythe smellandcaptured.


    "Let''s stop talking, anywayit''s badluck! Once I recover, I willkillthose bastards soonenough!" The more Wang Gang thought, the angrier he was. He crushedthe ss inhis hand. Then, as if remembering something he said, "Right, inthat awfulce I alsosaw Qiu Xiangyu! his conditiondoesn''t look toogood. XiaoYi, is our team members targeted? Also¡­ Wei Xu andFang Yunqi, I think I saw them! XiaoYi, it must be Liu Chen! That pettyguymust''ve beenresentfulwhenwe let him falltothe zombies, sohe colludedwith the research institute andalsousedhis father''s connections todealwith us!"


    "You saw Qiu Xiangyu?!" Xu Yi just noticedthis part, he was frightenedandaskedat once, "Thendidyou see a verytallman, a bit thin, phoenix eyes, thinlips with a windability?"


    "You meanZhong Qiu?" Wang Gang''s expressiondistortedat this name, his voice was fullof hatred. "Wind-type ability, nomistake that''s him! He''s the headof the research institute! He was the one whodidexperiments onme!"


    Xu Yi took a step back without thinking, his whole countenance was incredulous. That strange zombie was actuallythe headof the vine research inB citybase? A zombie, researching the vine toendzombies for humans? Howughable, there''s stillsuch a ridiculous thing inthe worldnow! Sothat''s whyhe hadnever beenable totrack the other down, he was holedup inside the thirdgate''s research institute this entire time ¡ª that ce that zombies hate the most!


    Andthe people that were caught; Wei Xu, Fang Yunqi, Wang Gang, andQiu Xiangyu, they''ve hadalldrank from his spring! That strange zombie hadindeedtook notice of the specialness of his spring, he must be nning toslowlycorner him and<em><span>let him make a slip</em>! Noway, he can''t continue like this! He neededtothink of a waytoget out of this situationas quicklyas he can! The other side is toopowerfulandhis side is tooweak ¡ª if he hadbadluck andwas caught, with his non-offensive healing ability, it''spletelythe same as being fish onthe other''s cutting board!


    "XiaoYi, what''s up with you?" Wang Gang was a bit confusedwith his ever-changing expression, he felt the him now was verystrange, andcouldn¡¯t help changing the topic, asking instead, "Ah right, where''s our team members? Whyhaven¡¯t I seenthem?"


    Xu Yi recoveredhis senses, he regainedhis usuallook, andthrew together some excuse todeceive him. A dark glint sh through Xu Yi''s eyes. Him andthat strange zombie were alreadylockedina fight todeath, the other side''s fiercelystrong, allof his previous ns were now useless. He hadtothink of another way.


    Ye Zhizhou took back the spiritualforce with care, he pattedYanZheng andWei Xu ontheir shoulders, signalling from them towithdraw. Once theyleft far enough from Xu Yi''s andWang Gang''s range of perception, he gave anOK sign, "There''s noproblem. Wei Xu, you canget readytomake your move."


    Wei Xu''s tight expressionslightlyrxed, he felt somewhatplicated, "Dowe have todothat step? Xu Yi, he¡­"


    "He''s not at alllike what you think he is, wake up." YanZheng made a long face as he mendedhis sword, he lightlyfelt the swordscabbard. "Can''t be soft hearted, andalsocan''t show your weakness, otherwise you''llwaste everyone''s effort. That space of his canhide him, we onlyhave this one chance tocapture him."


    Wei Xu''s eyes droppedlow, he nodded, andfor the rest of the wayhe remainedsilent.


    The dayafter Wang Gang andXu Yi rejoinedtheystartedtogather the members of their smallsquadscatteredallover the ce. Meanwhile, rumours of the research institute doing research onhumans theycapturedbegantospreadaroundthe base slowly, the base''s atmosphere turnedtense.


    Another daychose the busiest time of the day, after noon, towalk out of the thirdgate. He was pallid, his eyes lookedat the institute with hatred. He walkedtohis home holding a disgruntledexpression. That same night, Xu Yi foundWei Xu.


    The equipment sent out a crisp ''beep beep'', Zhong Qiu woke up from his light doze, he strode tothe machine andopenedit, taking out a dark blue form from inside carefully, he sealedit properlyandput it away, andfinallythumbedthrough the data from the test.


    Ye Zhizhou sat up andrubbedhis eyes, stillfuzzyfrom sleep whenhe asked, "What is it? The results are out?"


    "XiaoChen."


    "Ah?"


    "The apocalypse is going toend." Zhong Qiu slowlyput downthe data, he hada deep expression, "The vine is sessfullydeveloped, we canfinallyhave our wedding night."


    Ye Zhizhou''s drowsiness disappearedina blink of aneye, he first felt surprised, thenembarrassedtoanger, he rushedover tohit him, "You dirty-brainedbastard! Is now the time tobe talking about that!?"


    Zhong Qiu huggedhim injoy, his headloweredandhe nteda kiss onhis forehead, "XiaoChen, everyone''s<em><span> hardships </em>canfinallyend."


    The fist he wavedforwardwas lowered, pausing inthe air before theyembracedZhong Qiu''s neck. He nestledhis face onthe other''s neck, sticking close against the graduallychilling body. "En¡­ whenyou get better I''llcook something for you." This manmade himself intothis sort of monster inorder todevelop the vine, now the dark days willfinallyend.


    Inside the base, the windof oppositiontothe research institute rose, leading it were the ones incharge of the base''s security, the Wei family. The base residents repeatedlydealt blows the thirdgate infury. Theytook a night tofinallybreak through with a strike of anabilityuser.


    Xu Yi followedbehindWei Xu through the thirdgate, speaking quickly, "Let''s killZhong Qiu first thenrescue Xiangyu, he hadbeenlockedup for solong, he might notst anylonger!"


    Hearing this, Wei Xu''s steps paused, but he quicklyconcealedit andnoddedback, "Don''t worry, he willbe saved." Just not byyou.


    Wang Gang, whose bodyhadbeenreformedbythe spring, brandishedhisrge axe with a vicious expressiononhis face, "Sonof a b?tch Zhong Qiu! Today, I, Wang Gang must cut him topieces! Brother Wei! I misunderstoodyou before, I didn¡¯t expect you¡¯dhave the courage todothis. You alsoknow that theywere belittling you, andyou respondbygathering people tostrike back!! Once the Zhong familyfalls, won''t this base be allunder your Wei family? Whenthat timees, you canget us your brothers a smallpositiontomanage."


    Wei Xu frownedindisgust andspedup his steps forward. Xu Yi pulledonWang Gang, hinting tohim tostop speaking nonsense. This Wei Xu was nolonger the goodsquadleader whoprotectedhim wholeheartedlybefore, theyare now onlytemporarilyworking together because theyhatedthe same person. It''s a criticalmoment right now, soit''s better tonot provoke the other man.


    The research institute is locatednear the centre of the base andthe guardis extremelytight. It took Wei Xu andXu Yi''s team a lot of effort tobreak through the severalreach the centre.


    Theymovedalong the winding maze-like corridors for a long while, walking past room after room with unknownpurposes. Xu Yi couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, "Brother Wei, where exactlyXiangyu is being kept? Andthat Zhong Qiu¡­didn''t you sayhe wouldusuallypatrolaroundthese parts, but whyhaven''t we seenhim from the start?"


    Wei Xu halted, andtiltedhis headtohim, "XiaoYi, doyou want this apocalypse toend?"


    "Of course I wish for its end, " Xu Yi lookedat him baffled, but consideredandeasedhis expression, saying, "Brother Wei, I know you''re worriedthat if Zhong Qiu is killedthe vine''s development willbe affected, but this worldhas somanyintelligent people. Is Zhong Qiu the onlyone capable of making the cure? Moreover, evenif there''s nocure, the spring I have cansuppress the zombie virus ina simr fashion. Once we wrap up this matter, I''m willing toprovide the water from myspring for free untilthe daythe cure is made."


    "Provide spring water for free¡­." Wei Xu murmuredthese, abruptlyhis headdippedandhe let out a bitterugh. He movedback andopenedthe room next tohim, "Xu Yi, I reallyregret meeting you at that time."


    After saying that, he duckedintothe room andclosedthe door, locking it behindhim.


    [Probabilityof Wei Xu falling inlove with the protagonist has fallento0%. Congrattions tothe host for removing the thirdg, maythe host persist inhis efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou ncedat the system''s screenthenat Zhong Qiu whowas looking at the monitor. "We''re taking him?"


    Zhong Qiu lookedback tohim, he took out a few vine vials from the freezer box. He smiledtohim, "Taking him. I''llgoinmyself."


    Inthe corridor Xu Yi was stunnedbyWei Xu''s baffling actions, he ranup tothe door andhit it angrily, "Brother Wei, what is this? Whyare you shutting yourself in? Brother Wei!"


    "XiaoYi, step aside." Wang Gang pulledhim awaywith a gloomyface, he liftedup his axe, chopping downthe door intwo, "We don''t needtowork with this coward! Wei Xu,e out if you''re stilla man! I willspare your life!"


    A burst of strong winds suddenlyrushedup from the depths of the corridor, making everyone unsteadyontheir feet.


    Xu Yi''s face changedabruptly, his headleanedtowatch the corridor andhe movedback a little, using Wang Gang''s bodytoshieldhis own.


    Wang Gang''s face immediatelyscrunchedup, he cursedout, "Zhong Qiu, you bastard. Show yourself! I willcut you topieces today!"


    "Bastard, are you talking about yourself?"


    A coldvoice unexpectedlyrose behindthem. Xu Yi turnedback sharplyonlytomeet Zhong Qiu''s yellow eyes opposite of him.


    "Wang Gang, saving you is something I shoulddo, noneedtothank me." With that, he stabbedhis loadedsyringe directlytoWang Gang''s neck while his leg stretchedout tokick Xu Yi awayfrom his side.


    Xu Yi was startledbyhim. He turnedinaninstant andhidbehindthe rest of the team andyelledout, "Zombie! There''s actuallya zombie inside theb! Everyone, quicklykillhim!"


    Everyone was frightened, theyquicklyput Xu Yi behindthem toprotect him andwent toattack Zhong Qiu.


    Zhong Qiu unhurriedlytook out a secondsyringe. He crossedover the attacking crowdandcame face toface with Xu Yi, lips spreadintoa smile, "I finallygot you, virus storage."


    Feeling his gaze, Xu Yi''s scalp turned numb, now thinking his previous nof relying onnumbers to kill Zhong Qiu was too naiveand deluded. Hehad definitely seenmoresickening zombies, however,ing faceto facewith Zhong Qiu who looked just likea human, hefelt fear from thebottom of his heart.


    Thewinds inthecorridor grew stronger and stronger. Ina blink of aneye, Zhong Qiu had disappeared from wherehewas. All of their attacks fell through, and everyonepanicked. Not waiting for them to regaintheir senses, a blur of whiteshed through thecorridor and slipped closeto each of their bodies, tenor so secondster thepeoplewho werestanding all fell to theground with a groan.


    Thewind slowed down, a tall and thinfigureof a manwearing ck framed sses stood inthemiddleof thefallencrowd, scalpel inhand.


    Xu Yi helplessly looked as hisrades ontheground, theincreasing fear hefelt madehim takea few steps back, asking inpanic, "Who areyou? Where''s Zhong Qiu!"


    Liang Ping leaned his head a littleto look at him, and turned away indislike, hetook out a durianfrom his pockets and looked it, thenlooked at him and frowned, "Durian''s still much cuter thanyou." Thenheturned and left quickly into thecorridor


    "Wereyou looking for me?"


    A chilling voicecamefrom his behind and his back stiffened, hequickly stepped forward and turned to facehim, eyes widestaring at Zhong Qiu, his voicewas shaking, "W-why haveyou beencontinuously chasing mewithout letting go, I''venever harmed you!" Thesituationright now was unfavorable, it is not suitableto beentangled anymore, hemust quickly find a way to retreat!


    Zhong Qiu fiddled with thevineinhis hand, hetwisted his lips, "I don''t likenonsense." Strong winds roseup again, but under Zhong Qiu''s control it circled a rangeof onemetrefrom Xu Yi, likeaninvisiblecage.


    YanZheng led a team of soldiers out of a room at theend of thecorridor, hewaved his hand, "Tieup thosepeopleontheground and takethem to theobservationroom, inject morevines to theones that cried theloudest, thentakethem to thequarantine."


    Thesoldiers shouted yes and quickly sprung to action.


    Wei Xu cameout of theroom from before, ncing at Xu Yi beforewalking to Zhong Qiu''s side. "Wrap this up quickly, don''t y around anymore."


    "You''retheoneying." Zhong Qiu refuted his words codly thenturned to look at Xu Yi andpassionately warned him, "Don''t try to run, if you takejust onestep out of theborder thosecutelittlewind des will cut openyour flesh and strip you to thebones."


    Xu Yi who was ready to spring into actionstopped abruptly. Hisposed facelooked back and forth betweenWei Xu and Zhong Qiu, helet out a bitterugh, "Wei Xu, you betrayed me."


    "I am trying to saveyou." Wei Xu indifferently watched him, his gazeneither cold nor warm, "Xu Yi, intheend, you aremost clear of what thespring is actually madeof. Don''t hurt anyoneanymore."


    Thesneer onXu Yi''s faceturned rigid, and his expressionbecamegloomy. Heturned his head away and didn''t look at him again.


    Thepeopletied up weretakenaway, YanZheng finally could rx his tight nerves, heasked Zhong Qiu, "How do you want to deal with this virus carrier? Directly kill him?"


    "Inject thevinefirst and seehow he''ll do, and then, hm, pry openhis brainand destroy thecrystal core."


    Xu Yi''splexionpaled and his body trembled whenheheard thesewords,from thecorner of his eye, hesaw Zhong Qiu starting to openthevine, hebit his lips and stealthily used his ability, right infront of their eyes heentered thespace.


    "Hehid as expected." Zhong Qiu injected thevineinto his ownarm. Shrugging his shoulder ina bored manner, "Seal up this corridor, start all surveince, spread thevinethroughout theentirebuilding oncemore."


    "It canonly belikethis." YanZheng was a bit dissatisfied with this oue, but there''s no other way. Wei Xu heaved another sigh and returned to silence, heturned around to walk towards Qiu Xiangyu''s observationroom.


    Thematter haseto theend, theremaining thing to do is to wait idly for their cornered prey and somemisceneous things to wrap things up.


    Every day, YeZhizhou would go to thesurveinceroom to check thesituationintheobservationroom, thenvisit theteam members who wereinjected with thevineand undergoing their treatments with Qiu Xiangyu. Whenoneof themembers fully recovered theloveprobability betweenhim and theprotagonist dropped downto 80%. After that, hewent ona hunger strikeand theloveprobability didn''t budgeanymore. YeZhizhou pondered as hewatched Qiu Xiangyu whoseeyes werefull of thewill to die. Hetook him to thesurveinceroom and pointed to thewall full of screens and described Xu Yi''s situationinsinct words. Qiu Xiangyu sat onhis wheelchair, unblinkingly watched themonitors, still unwilling to talk or eat.


    YeZhizhou stayed silent for a long timewhenthenutrient fluid was failing insustaining Qiu Xiangyu''s body which was indireneed of nourishment after getting thevine. DespiteWei Xu''s protests hecarried Qiu Xiangyu into thecorridor they had cornered theprotagonist into. Thelong timethey spent with each other had deepened Qiu Xiangyu''s feelings for theprotagonist. Evenwhenheheard a lot of terribletruths about him theloveprobability still didn''t drop, it was to thepoint that hehad chosento go onhunger strikewhenhefound out theprotagonist''s might not bedoing very well, so that hecould help his beloved. Themissionwas unableto proceed at this moment, becauseof his ownselfishness, hehoped that Qiu Xiangyu canget better and hoped evenmorethat theprotagonist would havea bit of conscience, and wouldeout whenhesees Qiu Xiangyu''s stateright now to calm him.


    Two days passed likethis, Qiu Xiangyu obstinately stayed ontheceXu Yi had disappeared, hedidn''t sleep or moveand slowly his breathing grew weaker. That day, at dawn, theprotagonist who had refused to show himself and retreated insidehis spacefinally appeared.


    YeZhizhou was looking at thetwo ineach other''s embraceinthemonitor, and Xu Yi, who was saying something agitatedly, helet out a sigh.


    "Xiangyu, help me, as long as I canescapefrom here, I candefinitely restoreyou to your peak state!"


    "Xiao Yi." Qiu Xiangyu''s raised a hand to strokehis hair, a gentlesmileappeared onthebeautiful tender face, "If only you''d told meeverything from thestart, how good is it. I certainly wouldn¡¯t havelet you belikethis."


    "Xiangyu!" Xu Yi felt a bit exasperated, "Will you help meor not?! Right now inthis ce, only you canhelp me!"


    Qiu Xiangyu attentively madeout what sentiments heheld inhis eyes, thehopeinhis owneyes died out bit by bit, "Xiao Yi, it''ll beokay if you only look at me, just you and me¡­. Is that no good?"


    "You¡ª Ah!"


    YeZhizhou stared wideat themonitor screen.


    A metal spikeappeared out of thinair and quickly prated Xu Yi''s back, passing through his heart, rancid dark red blood flowed out slowly. Qiu Xiangyu raised his hand and felt theblood whilesighing, "Xiao Yi, as I thought, you''reno longer human¡­ But it doesn''t matter." Helifted his head up and used his hands infected by Xu Yis'' blood to strokehis wideopeneyes, thencovered them gently, "I''ll apany you, don''t beafraid."


    A new pieceof pointed metal finished forming inhis hand. Qiu Xiangyu held Xu Yi''s fallenbody as heturned towards thesurveincecamera, his mouth formed theshapeof ''thank you''. Then, heended his lifewithout hesitation.


    Dark red and bright red blood mixed together around thetwo dead bodies. YeZhizhou raised his hands to hold his face, swallowing back his ''don''t'' inhis throat. Why¡­ why is it likethis¡­


    [No signs of lifefrom Qiu Xiangyu and theprotagonist. Thefourth g is gone. All of thegs from this world has beenremoved.]


    [Missionaplished. Will thehost begoing to thenext world?]


    Hechose''no'' inhis mind and rubbed his face. Hewatched thetwo bodies that had fallentogether to theground for a few seconds beforesounding therm, "Xu Yi is dead, start thecleaning procedureintenminutes. All departments pleasebeprepared."


    Zhong Qiu was examining patients intheobservationroom at thetimeof thebroadcast, hepaused what hewas doing whenheheard thebroadcast and ranto thesurveinceroom. YanZheng, Wei Xu, Liang Ping¡­¡­ all of them dropped what they weredoing and assembled to YeZhizhou''s sidewithout hesitation.


    OnceXu Yi died, his spacereally did spread out theviruses, Zhong Qiu used thenthey agreed on, spraying thecorridor full with thevineand continued to seal it for month.


    Threemonthster thevinewas sent to every corner of theearth. Six monthster, thespread of zombievirus was controlled. Oneyearter thehigh level zombies stopped having upgrades, their numbers also decreased. At threeyears, all countries had dealt with thezombies and dead bodies and restorationof cities began, and at fiveyears theworld finally looked as peaceful as beforetheapocalypse.


    Theday that thewalls of thebaseweredemolished, YeZhizhou set up argefeast, invited all of their friends and family and held a small privateengagement with Zhong Qiu. They drank a lot that day. Thenext day at dawnheleft thebasefor a littlemound outsidethebaseand worshipped anunnamed grave.


    Several decadester hehand, watching theclouds ona bluesky with a smileonhis face, "I really want to know your real name¡­. Forget it, I''ll go to thenext world and look for you, remember to wait for me."


    Heclosed his eyes and nestled further into his lover¡¯s embracethat gradually lost its warmth. Insidehis mind heopened thesystem and choseto enter thenext world.


    Therewas thesound of rain, peoplefighting, things falling to theground, and a door being mmed.


    YeZhizhou''s consciousness left thedarkness and gradually entered thereality. Hesat up onthebed, and found hewas ina warm and spacious room. Onthecorner was a basketball, onthewall hung a badmintonracket, whenheexamined his stretched out hand hefound a sports watch, a wrist guard, and delicateskinbelonging to a young man.


    Seemed liketheoriginal owner of thebody this timewas a good boy who liked sports.


    Onthebedsidetablewas a photo frame, hepicked it up and looked at it. It was a photo of two boys, onelooked delicateand theother warm and open, they exuded a senseof joy and youthfulness. Thepicturewould makeonesmilewithout noticing. YeZhizhou looked at theclock hanging onthewall, half past four intheafternoon, maybetheoriginal body was taking a nap.


    Ignoring all of thenoiseoutsideof theroom, hesearched around thebed until hefelt out a small pink mirror shaped likea cat head from thequilt, hestayed silent, "Tongtian, areyou excited to beableto usepink again?"


    Theadditional fakeplumetail below themirror shifted, it thenpopped openwith a click, revealing a pill.


    "What is this?"


    [Previous world''s missionreward, transformationpill.]


    "What sort of thing?" YeZhizhou rubbed his eyes.


    [Transformationpill, it canincreasecultivationby a hundred years. Instantly transforming into a humanwouldn''t bea dream, thelegendary pill for demons, theultimatehelper of interspecies love. Useonepill, happiness for a hundred years.]


    YeZhizhouughed grimly, his hands tugged and yed with themirror''s faketail, "I seeyou''vegoneblind, to actually think of meas a demon. Here, I''ll help you fix your eyes."


    Thesmall mirror trembled, it quickly erged thescreenand shoved it up his face, and madly threw out thedata.


    YeZhizhou gritted his teeth, but intheend hereleased him, and focused onthedata.


    This world''s protagonist is Si Han, male. His mother was a danceteacher, father a sessful businessman, and hegrew up inluxury. Hehad a childhood sweetheart, Xing Guan, who is this world''s malelead number one.


    At fiveyears old, Si Hanand Xing Guanwerekidnapped, Xing Guanwas rescued intheend, but Si Hanhad gonemissing. Si Han''s mother Zhong Min''s inherent naturewas soft, this blow madeher mind unstableand shebecamedepressed. Zhong Minhad a younger sister named Zhong Kewho had died young who had a sonnamed QinBao. Si Han''s father Si Youqianfound QinBao by chanceand took him into thefamily. heforced QinBao to remember all of Si Han''s physical habits and madehim act as Si Haninfront of his wife.


    QinBao was about seventy to eighty percent simr to Si Han, aided with Zhong Min''s unstablemind at that time, this y of mistaking her ownbiological sonnaturally cameto be. Seeing this, Si Youqiansimply went all in, heerased all traces of QinBao intheorphanage, changed his nameinto<em><span> Si Hann</em>, and madehim liveusing<em><span> Si Han''s</em> identity.


    Ontheother hand, Si Hanwho escaped from his kidnappers by a flukehid inthetrunk of a ck taxi. As a result, hewas carried off to thefar-off H city. Hefound outter that theowner of theck taxi was anold deaf and mutecouple.


    Threeyearster, QinBao gradually grew up and forgot his memory as a child, under Si Youqian''s unrelenting brainwashing hewas certainthat hewas thereal Si Han, hechanged his nameinto Si Hannand lived as Si family''s youngest son. During this, thereal Si Hanstayed with theold couplefor oneyear beforethey left him inanorphanage. After onemoreyear, a school teacher adopted him and hemoved to W city, and met themalelead number two ¡ª his adoptivefather Wei Jianjun''s only son, Wei Songning.


    Tenyearster, Si Hann(who''s really QinBao) passed theexam for B university, whiletheprotagonist, thereal Si Hanwho changed his nameinto Wei Sihanafter being adopted was also epted into B university. Thetwo coincidentally werestudying thesamemajor, and got assigned to thesamedorm room. From heretheill fatebetweenthem started.


    TheSi Hanat that moment had forgottenall of his childhood, whileQinBao held somesuspicions inhis subconscious. Whenhemet Si Hanwho was very simr to him and had analmost identical namewith him, his memory started toeback. Heslowly recalled someof thethings from thepast.


    Oncethedoubt set, it was difficult to get rid of it. Hegot a privateinvestigator to check about Si Hanand secretly looked for clues at home. Oneweekter, theprivateinvestigator hadn''t found anything useful whilehehad found anold album at his house, intheir old house''s attic. There, hefound a photo of small Si Hanwith his family. From thenonhefinally epted thefact that hewas a fake.


    Unableto bear thetruth and evenmoreafraid that oncethereal Si Hanappeared hewould becast asideby his family, QinBao started to attack thereal Si Haninvarious ways, not expecting his act to benoticed by his elder brother Si Yue. Out of concernfor his littlebrother, Si Yuesecretlymissioned his good friend Wei Zhuang, malelead number three, to look into his recent affairs and about thepeoplehemet. Hewanted to check if his brother was being bullied.


    Wei Zhuang was someonewho thinks outsidethebox, his skill ingetting informationwas top notch. Hegot all of Si Han''s details injust a week. Whilehewas investigating, hewas slowly moved by Si Hanwho unrelenting positivity. Whenhetold this shocking truth to Si Yue, hespared no words intalking about Si Han''s good points and criticising QinBao''s bullying.


    Si Yuewho now knew thetruth was shocked. Herushed homeand told his father thenews and thefairytaleprinceSi Hanfinally entered thecenter of thestory. Meanwhile, as QinBao bullied Si Hanmoreharshly, his friends and family grew to detest thefakesubstitute.


    Becauseheregrly sustained injuries from thebullying, Si Hanfrequented theschool infirmary sincethestart of school, and got into theuniversity doctor''s favour ¡ª who was thefourth malelead, Lu Chen. Later, whiledoing a part timejob from school hegot theadmirationof thefifth malelead ¡ª a singledad, HeJing. Now, all of themaleleads haveall appeared.


    YeZhizhou hand stopped flipping through thepages, dumbfounded. How canit bea gay world again? What''s more, there''s anincreaseinmaleleads¡­


    Hequickly flipped through themessy lovebetweenthesix peopleuntil hegot to theworld destructionpart of thestory.


    QinBao finally madea big enough mistakethat sent him to theprison, andter died a miserabledeath inthere. Around this timetheprotagonist was living happily with thefivemaleleads. Threeyearster, themaleleads who had becameoutstanding ineach of their professions met with unreasonablesuppressionfrom anunknownperson. They wereangry and confused, but therewereno clues. It was Wei Zhuang who found theevil mastermind behind thescenes by using his family''s influences.


    It turns out that beforeQinBao''s biological parents had him, they had adopted a mixed-blood child. However, theyear that QinBao was born, thechild was found by his family and takenback to their country, leaving no traceof his existence.


    After his parents passed away from theident, QinBao was throwninto theorphanage. Si Youqiantook him out and erased all traces of QinBao being inthat orphanage. QinBao thenlived using Si Han''s identity.


    Theadopted child grew up and becameindependent. Hetravelled back to repay theQincouplewho took him in, only to find out that they had died, and thesoft littlebrother inhis memory grew up as someoneelse, and finally evendied miserably injail! Inhis anger, themixed-blood manmadly struck back, firstly at Si Youqian, following that, Si Hanand themaleleads.


    Thefight betweenthesetwo sides grew moreintenseand evenshook oneof thecountry''s economy. At that moment that country''s leader was coincidentally receiving a foreignguest. Thecountry''s leader rushed to check thesituationwhenthey noticed that something was wrong, but unfortunately hewas caught ina terrorist attack and died. What''s worse, thesonof that foreignguest was following thecountry leader to seewhat thewas about and as a result also died with him.


    Thedisputebetweenthetwo countries started from this. Afterwards, through this butterfly wing effect, thestateof theworld grew morechaotic. Not evendecades would past beforetheworld war brokeout, and yet themainculprits who caused this war had long dropped dead from old age.


    YeZhizhou switched off thescreenand looked up to theceiling. What canhesay, hm? What''s theneed for such a world that is easily destroyed? Every timeheread thecauseof each world''s destructionhelost all hope, okay.


    "Let meguess, Tongtian, this body I''m using is QinBao''s, isn''t it?"


    Thesmall mirror waved his tail, ck, and gaveout another pill, [Correct answer. Your reward is onedisguisepill.]


    "¡­¡­" So it really was likethis. Ah, hereally wants to cry.

 Chapter 52

    <hr ss="wp-block-separator">


    Trantor: Mina


    Editor: Yuika


    Xu Yi felt numb, and he felt that the idea of ??killing Zhong Qiu with<em></em>so many people was too naive. Obviously, he has seen countless more disgusting zombies, but when he''s confronting Zhong Qiu, who looked like an ordinary human, he has a hint of fear in his heart.


    The wind in the corridor grew stronger and stronger, and in a blink of an eye, Zhong Qiu disappeared. The group''s attacks all missed, and they were momentarily shocked by it. Before they could recover, a white shadow suddenly shed through the hallway, and slipped through them. After ten seconds, the people who were standing before were all knocked down to the ground.


    The wind reduced, and a slender figure with ck-rimmed sses stood in the middle of the crowd, holding a scalpel in his hand.


    Seeing all hispanions fall to the ground, Xu Yi became more and more panicked. He couldn''t help backing away few steps, and asked, "Who are you? Where is Zhong Qiu?!"


    Liang Ping looked at him slightly, and shook his head. He took a durian from his pocket, looked at the durian, and looked at him again, frowning. "Even a durian is cuter than you." After saying this, he turned around and quickly disappeared down the corridor.


    "Are you looking for me?"


    A cool voice rang out from behind him. Xu Yi''s back tightened, and he quickly turned around and took a few steps back. He stared at Zhong Qiu and his voice shook. "You, why have you been chasing me? I haven''t hurt you!" His current situation isn''t good, and he can''t continue to stay where he is. He must find a way to retreat!


    Zhong Qiu yed with the vine in his hand and smacked his lips. "I don''t like useless words." The wind blew up again, but it was controlled by Zhong Qiu and circled a meter around Xu Yi''s body, like an invisible cage.


    Yan Zheng led a group of soldiers out of the room at the end of the corridor and waved his hand. "Take all the people on the ground and throw them into the observation room. For the worst ones, inject a vine and then send them to the confinement room."


    The soldiers responded quickly.


    Wei Xu also came out of the room and took a look at Xu Yi. He then walked to Zhong Qiu. "Hurry up and finish it already, don''t y around anymore."


    "You were the one ying." Zhong Qiu blocked his words and went back to see Xu Yi, and he thoughtfully warned him. "Don''t try to escape. If you cross the border even slightly, those cute little wind des will slice off your flesh. You''ll be a skeleton."


    Xu Yi, who was ready to move, stopped his movements. He looked back at Wei Xu and Zhong Qiu, and sneered. "Wei Xu, you betrayed me."


    "I am saving you." Wei Xu looked at him indifferently, and there was no longer a trace of warmth in his eyes. "Xu Yi, what the spring water was in the end is clear in your own heart. Don''t hurt anyone anymore."


    The sneer on Xu Yi''s face went stiff, his expression was gloomy, and he turned his head to stop looking at him.


    After the people were all tied up, Zheng Zhou finally rxed his tight nerves and looked at Zhong Qiu. "How do you want to deal with this virus storehouse? Directly kill him?"


    "First, we''ll take a vination to see the situation. Then, we''ll open his head and directly destroy his power core."


    After hearing this, Xu Yi''s face turned pale and his body shook. From the corner of his eye, he saw the vine that Zhong Qiu was taking apart, bit his lip, secretly mobilized his abilities, and entered the space under their eyes.


    "Sure enough, he tries to hide." Zhong Qiu directly injected the medicine into his own arm instead and shrugged his shoulders. "Block this corridor, turn on all the monitoring cameras, and then clean the research institute with the vine."


    "It can only be like this." Yan Zhengwas somewhat dissatisfied with such a result, but therewas nothing else possible. Wei Xu sighed, ended the meeting, and turned to walk toward the observation room where Qiu Xiangyu was.


    Things havee to an end, and now there''s only the boring ending left.


    Ye Zhizhou went to the monitoring room every day to see the situation in the corridor, and then took Qiu Xiangyu to see the yers who were receiving treatment after the vination. When the first team member recovered, Qiu Xiangyu''s love for the protagonist fell to 80%. Then, Qiu Xiangyu began a hunger strike, and the love chance hasn''t changed since then. He looked at Qiu Xiangyu, who was listless. He thought about it and took him to the monitoring room. He pointed to the wall full of monitor screens and briefly exined the situation of Xu Yi. Qiu Xiangyu sat in a wheelchair and looked at the surveince without blinking, but still refused to speak or eat.


    When the nutrient solution was gradually unable to support Qiu Xiangyu''s body after the vination, Ye Zhizhou was silent for a long time. Regardless of Wei Xu''s opposition, Qiu Xiangyu was sent to the corridor that the protagonist was trapped in. Qiu Xiangyu''s feelings for the protagonist was very deep. Even though he knows about so many of the terrible things the protagonist did, the chance of love is still not falling. Even after knowing that the protagonist may not be a good person, he still chose to go on a hunger strike to protect him. His task has not been able to continue. It might be selfish of him, but he hopes that Qiu Xiangyu will get better. He also hopes that the protagonist can have a little conscience, and that after he sees Qiu Xiangyu looking the way he is, he woulde out andfort him.


    After another two days, Qiu Xiangyu stubbornly stayed in the ce where Xu Yi disappeared, did not sleep or move, and gradually his breathing began to weaken. In the early hours of the morning, the protagonist who had been shrinking in his space and refusing toe out, finally appeared.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the two people in the surveince screen, looked at Xu Yi, whose face was excited as he spoke, and sighed.


    "Yuyu, you have to help me! As long as I escape, I will definitely let you recover to your peak!"


    "Xiao Yi." Qiu Xiangyu raised his hand and touched his hair. The gentle face showed a gentle smile. "If you had told me earlier, it would''ve been so much better. I definitely would not have let you be what you have be now."


    "Yuyu!" Xu Yi was impatient. "Are you going to help me or not? Only you can help me now!


    Qiu Xiangyu carefully looked the emotions in his eyes, and the hope in his eyes slowly extinguished. "Xiao Yi, if only you would look at only me, just you and me¡­ isn''t that enough?"


    "You¡­ah!"


    Ye Zhizhou blinked in front of the monitor screen.


    A metal spike appeared out of thin air and quickly prated the back of Xu Yi, passing through his heart. His dark, red, rancid blood slowly flowed out. Qiu Xiangyu raised his hand and touched it, sighing. "Xiao Yi, you really are not human anymore, but it doesn''t matter." He looked up and touched Xu Yi with his blood-stained fingers. He touched Xu Yi''s eyes and then closed them. "I will go with you, so don''t be afraid."


    A new metal spike gradually formed in his hands. Qiu Xiangyu hugged Xu Yi''s fallen body, looked at the monitoring camera, mouthed "Thank you," and then ended his life without hesitation.


    Dark red and bright red blood met on the ground, encircling the bodies of the two. Ye Zhizhou raised his hand and pressed his cheek, and choked back the "No¡­" Why¡­ why did it be like this¡­


    [Qiu Xiangyu and the protagonist have lost their vitality. The fourth soul g has disappeared. All the soul gs in this world have been removed, and the mission has beenpleted. Will you enter the next world?]


    He selected no, wiped his face, looked at the body in the hallway for a few seconds, and rang the rm bell. "Xu Yi died. After ten minutes, the cleaning procedure will start. Asking departments to please prepare."


    Zhong Qiu, who was in the observation room for patient examination, heard the radio. He paused in his work and turned to run to the surveince room. Yan Zheng, Wei Xu, Liang Ping¡­ Everyone stopped their work and gathered without hesitation to Ye Zhizhou''s side.


    After Xu Yi''s death, the virus in his space spread out into the corridor. Zhong Qiu used a stupid method, filled the corridor with the vine and then closed the corridor for a month.


    Three monthster, the vine was sent to every corner of the world; six monthster, the spread of the zombie virus was controlled; a yearter, the high level zombies stopped upgrading and their numbers were getting smaller; three yearster, the countries have finally destroyed all the zombies with their bodies were disposed of, and the city''s recycling and cleaning work began. Five yearster, the world finally had a peaceful appearance like how it was before the end of the world.


    On the day the base wall was demolished, Ye Zhizhou made a big meal, invited all his rtives and close friends, held a small private engagement dinner with Zhong Qiu, and then got drunk. The next morning, he went alone to a hill outside the base and paid his respects to an unknown tomb.


    A few decadester, he and Zhong Qiu lie together holding hands and looks at the blue sky and white clouds and smile. "I want to know your real name¡­ forget it, I will go to the next world to find you. Remember to wait for me." After saying this, he closes his eyes, moves sideways into the arms of his lover who was gradually losing warmth, opens the system and chooses to enter the next world.


    There was the sound of rain, quarreling, the sound of things falling, and then the sound of a mming door.


    Ye Zhizhou''s consciousness moves away from the darkness and gradually returns to reality. He sat up on the bed and found himself in a spacious and weing room. There was a basketball in the corner, and a badminton racket hanging on the wall. He held out a hand with young and delicate skin, with a sports watch and a wristband on his arm.


    It seems that this time, the original body is a young boy who loves sports.


    There was a photo frame on the bedside table. He took it and looked at it. He saw a photo of two teenagers. A handsome boy and sunny boy full of youth in a cheerful atmosphere, making people who looked unconsciously bend their lips into a smile. Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, 4:30 in the afternoon, the original owner was probably taking a nap.


    Ignoring all of the noisy sounds outside, he looked around the bed, and finally found a small mirror of a pink kitten''s head from the quilt. He was silent for a bit before saying, "Tongtian, you can use pink again, are you very happy? "


    The fake feather tail at the lower end of the small mirror moved, then mmed open to reveal a pill.


    "What is this?"


    [The mission reward of thest world, Hua Xing Dan<sup>[1]</sup>.]


    "What?" Ye Zhizhou blinked his eyes.


    [Hua Xing Dan, it can increase your cultivation by a hundred years. Bing human wouldn''t be just a dream. A monster''s dream for love, it''s the best helper for cross species rtionships. Use one, and be happy for a hundred years.]


    Ye Zhizhou sneered, then smirked, reaching for his fake tail. "I see you''re blind. Thinking I''m a monster. Come, I will help you correct your vision."


    The small mirror shook, then quickly erged the screen in front of Ye ZhiZhou, and wildly sent out a stream of data.


    Ye Zhizhou grinded his teeth and finally let it go, focusing on the information.


    The protagonist of this world is called Si Han. His mother is a dance teacher, and his father is a sessful businessman, so he grew up in a life of luxury since birth. He has a childhood friend, Xing Guan, who is one of the world''s male leads.


    At the age of five, Si Han and Xing Guan were kidnapped. Eventually, Xing Guan was sessfully rescued, but Si Han disappeared. Si Han''s mother, Zhong Min, was already weak in temperament. After this attack, her spirit became unstable and she suffered from depression. In order to appease his wife''s emotions, Si Han''s father, Si Youqian, found Zhong Min''s dead younger sister''s, Zhong Ke, son Qin Bao, had him join the family, and forced him to remember all the behavioral habits of Si Han. He sent him as Si Han to his wife.


    Qin Bao and Si Han are simr in seven or eight points. Coupled with the unstable spirit of Zhong Min, this deception is sessful. So Si Youqian decided to carry through with this, and erased all the traces of Qin Bao from the orphanage. He renamed him as Si Han and had him live as Si Han.


    On the other hand, Si Han, who was lucky enough to escape from the kidnappers, hid in the back of a ck van on the roadside and was transported to the remote H city by mistake. He waster found to have been sold by the ck van driver to a deaf-mute old couple.


    Three yearster, Qin Bao gradually grew up and forgot the memories of his childhood, and firmly believed that he was the real Si Han from the constant brainwashing of Si Youqian, and became Si Han, the youngest son of the family. The real Si Han was abandoned by the deaf and mute couple in the orphanage this year. One monthter, he was adopted by a teacher, moved to the W city, and met the second lead male - his foster father, Wei Jianjun''s only son Wei Songning.


    Ten yearster, Si Han, that is, Qin Bao was admitted to the B University, and the real Si Han, after being adopted, changed his name to Wei Sihan was also admitted to B University. The two happened to be in the same profession, and was also assigned to the same the room. Their ill-fated rtionship began there.


    At this time, Si Han hadpletely forgotten his memory of childhood, but Qin Bao had kept a little doubt subconsciously. After seeing Si Han, who is very simr to himself and whose name is almost exactly the same, his memory of his childhood began to churn, and he gradually started to recall things from the past.


    Suspicion is not easy to erase once it rises. He began to look for a private detective to investigate Si Han, and then quietly searched for clues at home. A weekter, the private detective did not find anything useful, but he did find an old photo album in the attic of the house. He saw a picture of Si Han''s photo with his family when he was a child. Since then, he finally confirmed that he was a fake.


    Unable to bear such a truth, coupled with the fear that after the real Si Han appears, he will be abandoned by his family after the emergence of the truth, Qin Bao began to use a variety of hostile ways to deal with the real Si Han. However, he did not want his moves to be noticed by his big brother. Out of concern for his younger brother, Si Yue secretly entrusted his friend Wei Zhuang, that is, male lead number three, to investigate his brother''s recent itinerary and the people and things he encountered, and wanted to see if his brother was being bullied.


    Though Wei Zhuang''s personality is a bit entric<sup>[2]</sup>. His means of finding information was first-rate. In just one week, Si Han was thoroughly investigated. In the process of investigation, he was gradually moved by the sunny and strong Si Han, and after telling Si Yue the startling truth, he promoted the goodness of Si Han and criticized the bad behavior of Qin Bao who was bullying others.


    Si Yue, who was told the truth, was shocked and went home to inform his father of the news. Since then, the real Si Han became the center of the story and the counterfeit Qin Bao<strong>,</strong> who has been fiercely bullying Si Han more frequently, was gradually rejected by his family and friends.


    Because he was often bullied and injured, Si Han frequently entered and exited the medical office after entering school. He obtained the attention of the fourth male lead, the blue eyed school doctor Lu Chen, andter, during the work-study program, harvested another male lead - the love of the single parent Da Jing He Jing. So far, the five male leads have all arrived.


    Ye Zhizhou stopped the hand that was flipping the data, a little speechless. How is it another gay world, the number of male leads has increased¡­


    Quickly flipping through the emotional entanglement between the six people, he turned the story to the part of world destruction.


    After Qin Bao was sent to prison and then died a tragic death, the protagonist and the five male lords lived happily together. Three yearster, the men who have be the leaders of various industries suddenly suffered from crazy business attacksfrom unidentified people. They were puzzled and angry, but they had no clue what was going on. In the end, Wei Zhuang used the power of his family to find the person behind the attacks.


    It turned out that Qin Bao''s biological parents had adopted a mixed-race child before Qin Bao''s birth, but the mixed-race child was found by his family in the year when Qin Bao was born, and there were no traces of his existence left behind. After the death of Qin Bao''s parents, Qin Bao fell into the orphanage, was picked up by Si Youqian who erased the traces of Qin Bao from the orphanage, and began to live with the identity of Si Han.


    The child eventually grew up and came back to repay the kindness of Qin Bao''s parents, only to find that his adoptive parents were dead, and the soft younger brother from his memory actually grew up with the identity of another, and ended up dying in prison! Ovee by anger, the adopted child began a mad revenge, first attacking Si Youqian, and then Si Han and the male leads.


    The fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce, and it shook the economic system. It was a coincidence that the national leaders who were receiving foreign guests there found that the situation was not right and ran to see the situation. As a result, they unfortunately encountered terrorist attacks and died. To make matters worse, the children of the foreign guests stayed with the leaders in order to watch the fun and also died.


    The dispute between the two countries began. After that, the world situation was affected by the butterfly effect, and it gradually became chaotic. In less than a few decades, a world war broke out, and the culprit that caused the battle at that time was already dead.


    Ye Zhizhou turned off the information and looked up at the ceiling. What else can he say, what is the point of a world that can be so easily destroyed? Every time he sees the cause of the destruction of a world, he gets so distressed.


    "Tongtian, let me guess, the body I am using now is Qin Bao right?"


    The small mirror moved the fake feather tail, and revealed a pill. [Your guess is correct, reward one Yi Rong Dan<sup>[3]</sup>.]

    <strong>Please do not post these trantions anywhere without my permission!</strong>


    The noise outside slowly disappeared. Ye Zhizhou looked through the timeline. He was pleased to find that the plot had only developed to the point where the protagonist had gotten into B University. It was now the end of August. The noise outside was the family helping prepare Si Han''s birthday party. Of course, it was the birthday of the original Si Han. The real birthday of of Qin Bao, now known as Si Han, is actually at the end of the year in December. Unfortunately, even Qin Bao himself had forgotten his real birthday.


    An 18 year old''s birthday definitely had to be spectacr. Zhong Min was busy preparing for the party, but Si Youqian, who knew that current son was a fake, waspletely uninterested. This attitude angered Zhong Min and she quarreled with him. Si Youqian was wronged by his wife but he could not tell her the truth. His dislike of this counterfeit son became deeper and deeper. He simply left and only came home after the party ended. After thinking about it for a bit and then checking the timeline again, Ye Zhizhou was finally relieved.


    This world is simply adorable! Right now, there is only Wei Songning around the protagonist. As long as he waved his hand a bit, the protagonist and the other four male leads may not meet each other at all! Ah, praise god!


    The phone suddenly rang. He recovered from his fantasy of the sessful g-picking, picked up the original¡¯s mobile phone and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows. The person who called was one of the male lords, Xing Guan. The current Xing Guan was the best friend of the fake Si Han, but after the return of the real Si Han, he was the person who was most vicious to Qin Bao!


    As he went over the plot in his head, he answered the phone, and deliberately said in a condemning tone, ¡°Xing Guan, are you really my friend or not! You¡¯re actually noting to my birthday party, no affection at all!¡±


    There was happyughter on the other side of the phone, and then a clear and full of enthusiasm voice came across the phone. ¡°Isn''t it because I''m busy with something else? When this summer camp that my dad sent me to is over, I will fly back to find you! Xiao Han, guess what birthday gift I have prepared for you this time? Guess right and I''ll pay for your university food expenses for a year!¡±


    Gift? Is it the ssical music disc that Si Han always wanted when he was a child?


    Rubbing his chin, he guessed a few rounds, and then hung up the phone with the excuse that he was busy with guests. It can be seen from the arrangement of the room that the original Qin Bao is a lively boy who likes sports. It waspletely different from the protagonist who loved literary and arts since young. This Xing Guan and the original Qin Bao have been friends for more than ten years. What he remembers in his mind was always the preference of the real Si Han when he was a child. Makes people not know what to say, is it to praise him for ¡°deep love¡± or should he say that he has a big heart?


    He went through the text message of the original Qin Bao and Xing Guan in the phone, and he couldn¡¯t help but sigh.


    Among these male leads, Xing Guan''s hatred against the original Qin Bao was the deepest. Before the appearance of the real Si Han, he believed that the original Qin Bao was the same small child that went through thick and thin with him when he was a child. It could even be said that he was cute and adorable, and however you looked at it, he was pleasing to the eye. After the appearance of the real Si Han, his attitude changed immediately. He said that the original owner was a swindler who snatched the lives of others. He detested the way Qin Bao was bullying the original Si Han, and he wanted topletely erase the original Qin Bao from the world.


    It really was a confusing love and hate.


    After thinking about it for a while, he jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up. He put on the birthday outfit prepared by Zhong Min for the original Qin Bao, Ye Zhizhou appreciated the handsome and sunny face of the original Qin Bao, and opened his door while smiling.


    The maids in the hall were picking up the pieces of the vase on the floor, and Zhong Min was sitting on the sofa and crying silently. He made a surprised expression and walked quickly to Zhong Min, before sitting down and holding her shoulder. He worriedly asked, ¡°Mom, why are you crying? What happened to that vase? Right, where is Dad?¡±


    "Mom isn''t crying, just¡­ had some sand in my eyes." Zhong Min saw her soning over and wiped her tears and rubbed her face to cover it up. She forced out a smile, raised her hand, and helped adjust his bow tie. She said, ¡°This outfit is good, let¡¯s wear this tonight!¡± "


    Ye Zhizhou looked at her trying to pretend that nothing was wrong, and his heart went soft. He couldn''t help but hug her. ¡°It''s okay, I will protect you.¡± In the whole story, only Zhong Min, even after finding out the truth, still treated the original Qin Bao the same as before.


    Thest one to know the truth was her, and the one who was hurt the most was also her. Qin Bao and Si Han these two, one was her son, and the other was her nephew who she raised as her son. She was caught in the middle of the two. She tried hard to ease the situation between the two of them, but she didn''t seed. Later, Qin Bao''s n to frame Si Han failed andnded him in prison, where he died a violent death. Once she learned of this she was hit hard and her depression came back. Not even two yearster, she passed away.


    Hearing his words, Zhong Min''s tears that had she had been holding back suddenly ran down, and she patted him on the shoulder,ughing while crying. "You, why are you suddenly saying this¡­ok ok, stop teasing your mom, you¡¯re already someone who¡¯s about to go to college, you can no longer be spoiled by me.¡±


    ¡°Obviously it''s Mother being spoiled by me, I am a man now.¡± He rxed his arms and remembered the attachment of the original Qin Bao to Zhong Min mentioned in the plot. He couldn''t help but say, ¡°Mom, the birthday party tonight, let''s make it just the two of us. Grandpa is so busy, Dad will probably not make it either, and Brother went on a business trip¡­ Ok? Just the two of us, we are going on a date!¡±


    ¡°Stop fooling around!¡± Zhong Min¡¯s mood was lightened by him. Sheughed. ¡°The invitations have been sent out already. The hotel banquet is also set. You can¡¯t think of it. As for your father and the others, they¡­¡±


    ¡°I know, they are busy, I understand.¡± Ye Zhizhou was afraid that she will continue to be sad, so he changed the topic and said, ¡°Mom, is the key to the old house still with you? I want to go see it tomorrow.¡±


    "Why are you going to the old house for?¡± Zhong Min did not suspect anything, directly let the servant bring bag, took a bunch of keys from it and handed it over. ¡°The longest one is the key to the front door. Xiao Han, why do you suddenly want to go to the old house?¡±


    ¡°Wanted to get some things from when I was younger.¡± He answered vaguely, then asked Tongtian for a pill. He got up to make a cup of tea for her, poured a cup of tea, put in the pill and gave her the tea. "Mom, after you have finished drinking the tea, go to sleep for a while. It''s still early for the birthday party. You go take a rest.¡±


    ¡°So considerate today?¡± Zhong Min took a sip of tea and the smile on her face became deeper. ¡°I always feel that the tea Xiao Han makes is especially good to drink. When you grow up, your mother can rest assured.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou listened to her gentle voice, looked at the joy in her eyes, and smiled.


    The evening banquet was very big, and many guests came, but none of the men in the house came. The guests came over earnestly, but the host family had only one woman and Xiao Shouxing<sup>[1]</sup> to show hospitality. This was really awkward. Fortunately, there was Ye Zhizhou, this old thing who has lived for a few generations and his lively atmosphere to brighten things up. This birthday banquet actually had a hot start, and then it ended even more lively.


    While sending off the guests, Zhong Min listened to the guests¡¯ praise of Ye Zhizhou, and smiled very happily. He couldn''t see the sadness that that he saw at home this afternoon. Ye Zhizhou stayed on the side and secretly deleted the birthday message sent by Si Yue.


    Si Yue, the president of thepany, was 5 years older than Si Han. After Si Han¡¯s kidnapping case, he was sent to the grandparents¡¯ home by Si Youqian at the first opportunity and was only taken back one yearter. He did not seem to realize that Qin Bao was a fake. There was no difference between him and the former Si Han, but Ye Zhizhou, who had read the system information, definitely knew that this big brother had already found out that his brother had been reced!


    What kind of brother, after discovering the abnormal behavior of his brother, would not think to talk to his brother, but to invite private investigators to investigate? What kind of brother would miss his brother''s birthdays so often? There is also the grandfather, who was definitely a person who knew! Otherwise, he could not exin his affection towards his grandson and the coldness and resistance to the original Qin Bao.


    Si Youqian returned home after the birthday party, and then faked regret. Zhong Min was soft and quickly forgave him. Ye Zhizhou simply turned his face and went upstairs, perfectly ying a willful adolescent boy that still wanted attention from his father.


    Early the next morning, Ye Zhizhou left home early to go to the old house, and went straight to the attic to take out the photo album that let the original owner found the truth. And then took a ride to the busiest street in the city of B, and found in a street corner, Wei Zhuang¡¯s detective office that he recently opened.


    As one of the male leads, Wei Zhuang¡¯s appearance far exceeds the passing line and went straight to enchanting. Ye Zhizhou was shaken by his peach blossom eyes<sup>[2]</sup>, avoiding his line of sight and taking the album out and pushing it across the desk. ¡°I suspect that I am not the biological son of my parents. I want you to investigate it for me.¡±


    Wei Zhuang looked away from him and boringly flicked his fingers, ¡°This is simple. You can get some of your parents hair or nail clippings. I will get you a DNA test, whether you are their son or not you will soon know.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou said nothing to him. ¡°Do you not record customer information?¡±


    ¡°Oh, I almost forgot.¡± Wei Zhuang suddenly realized, pulled out a data card from the drawer and smiled. ¡°Sorry, the business has not been open for a long time, and I¡¯m still a bit unskilled.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked around at this small, chaotic and especially new office, and asked quietly, ¡°I am not the the first client you received right¡­?¡±


    ¡°How is that possible!¡± Wei Zhuang immediately reacted, pped the data card, and his peach blossom eyes quickly blinked a few times, ¡°You¡¯re really not cute, this is such a big office, don¡¯t know how much business there is every day! I¡¯m taking on your small case because I find you pitiful, don''t make trouble ah.¡±


    Sure enough, it was his first business¡­ Why was the male lead not like what was described in the original plot¡­not a bit mysterious and capable¡­


    Ye Zhizhou moved away from his line of sight, whispered, ¡°Are you still going to record my information?¡±


    Wei Zhuang rolled his eyes, rummaged around a bit, pulled out the pen and twisted off the cap, ¡°Name?¡±


    ¡°Si Han.¡±


    ¡°Oh, Si. ah? Sihan?!¡± Wei Zhuang blinked his peach eyes and began to unconsciously appeal to him. ¡°You just said what you want to investigate what? Do you suspect that you are not your parents biological child?!¡±


    ¡°Yeah.¡± Ye Zhizhou put on a lost look and handed the album in his hand over again. ¡°Yesterday was my birthday. I heard my parents quarreling. Dad seemedlike he really did not want to celebrate my birthday. I am in a bad mood today. I went to the old house where I used to live and looked around.¡±


    Turn the photo album to the end and took out a small photo from the family section. ¡°The bigger child in this photo is my brother, but this smaller one is not me.¡± Turning over the photo, pointing to the back text, ¡°<em>August 23, 20xx, Xiao Han¡¯s birthday, with brother in the back garden</em>, this is Xiao Han, not me, and I found that I have no memory with my family before the age of five, plus my father seems to have never like me much¡­¡­¡±


    Wei Zhuang gradually became serious and looked at the photo in his hands. He looked at him carefully and asked, ¡°Are you sure the child in this photo is not you?¡±


    ¡°Yes, absolutely sure.¡± He nodded his head and bowed his head to prevent the other person from looking at the expression on his face. He said, ¡°Besides Dad, my brother has never been very fond of me¡­ Mom said that I was kidnapped when I was five years old. I lost my memories because of shock, but sometimes I dreamed about some things from my childhood. In my dreams, I lived not in the big house in the photo, but in a very small and dark room. And¡­ I remember when I was young, everyone called me Xiao Bao, not Xiao Han. My name was only changed to my current name after I was five years old¡­¡±


    Wei Zhuang looked at the soft hair on his head, his brows were twisted, and he felt a little sympathy for him. Judging from these narratives, the child''s past definitely had problems, and the child is so pitiful. He wanted to find a detective agency to check his past. How unlucky to have found him. Thinking of his friend Si Yue''s ice cold face. That frozen face, he could not help but mourn in his heart. Hey, such a lovely younger brother, even if they are not actually blood rted how can he ignore him.


    ¡°Your case is epted. But¡­ can I ask why you came to my detective agency?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou raised his eyes and looked innocent. ¡°Because you¡¯re cheap, the sign outside the door said that you¡¯re a new store, giving a 30% discount. That, I don¡¯t have much pocket money. Can you give me a cheaper price?¡±


    ¡°¡­no! Double charge! No money go find your brother for money! It is not easy for me to run a business!¡± Wei Zhuang directly denied.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at his enchanting face while he said that he needed to be reasonable, and his heart hurt. How did this idiotic person be the mysterious detective in the original plot? How incredible!


    One of the two was thinking, <em>¡®He doesn¡¯t know that I already know his rtionship with Si Yue. I want to y with him a bit.¡¯</em> While the other side is filled with thoughts like: <em>¡®He doesn¡¯t know that I am actually his big brother who may not be his actual brother''s friend, and to not shock him, I will continue to let him not know.¡±</em>¡®And,<em> ¡®I never imagined that my first business is to check the family issues of my friends, the world is changing too fast, so frightened to be so unprepared.</em>¡®


    The information was sessfully recorded, and Ye Zhizhou paid the deposit. Wei Zhuang received the photo as a clue. The two people said goodbye and looked at each other with sympathy in their eyes.


    Ah, what a idiotic man.


    Ah, what a poor brother.


    The small mirror shook a bit and popped out the screen. [The rtionship between Wei Zhuang and the protagonist fell to 70%. Please continue your efforts, host. ]


    Ye Zhizhou: ¡°¡­¡± The mind of the big detective, don¡¯t guess, you''ll keep on guessing and guessing forever.

 Chapter 54

    TL: Mina


    Editor: Yuika


    A quick little message, both my editor and me are going to China on 27th and won¡¯t be back until August <s>vacation time \o/ pls don¡¯t stab us </s> We stocked up enough chapters tost until the end of June, so updates will continue to be posted at regr times until then. After that we might have to change to once a week updates as ast resort to still have updates out on time, this is only if we don¡¯t get enough chapters stocked up before we leave. We will still be tranting while we¡¯re in China, but we might not have enough time to do 2 chapters a week. <hr ss="wp-block-separator">


    After returning from Wei Zhuang''s office, Ye Zhizhou deliberately sent a text message to Si Yue, secretly revealing his reliance on his brother, and then unexpectedly got the response from the always cold brother.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it, I''ll make up for the birthday present after I get back from this business trip.¡±


    Don¡¯t think too much about it?


    He deleted the text message and he touched his chin. So, did Wei Zhuang tell Si Yue that he was secretly investigating his own past? This big brother doesn''t talk much and was so cold.It¡¯s simply hard to approach him with this attitude of his, but he can''t ask that Wei Zhuang who''s missing a few screws¡­


    Please read this on matchtions(.)wordpress(.


    Since he couldn''t get any results right now, might as well give up for now. He opened the old album, turned the pages one by one. His fingers unconsciously rubbed the photos, and the young and handsome face of Si Youqian was rubbed and the serious face of Si Jimin was also rubbed. The father and son look very much like each other. They were all wide-faced, square chins, and had a kind of upright handsomeness that conformed to the aesthetics of the older generation. Although the face of Si Yue is softer like Zhong Min, his face is seven or eight points like Si Youqian. Only Si Han, his style of painting ispletely different from that of the family. His features are obviously delicate and soft, and when heughs he strangely gives off a sunny feel. Don''t know how he looked like that¡­


    Looking at the young and beautiful Zhong Min in the photo, he frowned and opened the system¡¯s mirror function to carefully look at his appearance. His eyebrows are sharp, the lips are naturally upturned, the cheeks have still a little bit of baby fat, weakening the sharpness brought by the eyebrow, the nose is very good, the skin is also good¡­ The original''s eyes are estimated to follow his mother, Zhong Ke''s and is also very simr to his father Qin Shouye, but not at all like the delicate softness of Si Han¡­


    Wait, not at all?


    He took a look at the photos of Si Han when he grew up, and looked at the original Qin Bao. His brows quickly became twisted. In the original plot, the two people looked very simr, but now that he had a closer look, the facial features arepletely different, where are they alike? Is the system trying to dig pits again? But when he flipped through the plot information earlier, he saw photos of two people when they were young, and it was quite alike¡­


    [Please trust the system. ]


    The thought was interrupted by the light screen that suddenly popped up. He turned his eyes and took out the small mirror in his pocket and shook its tail. He asked, ¡°Tongtian, is there really no problem with Zhong Min''s body? She really just needs to eat some Anshen Pills<sup>[1]</sup> and take care of her body?" Zhong Min''s early death in the original plot made him very concerned. He thought that Zhong Min had a disease and died so early. As a result, he secretly had Tong Tian scan her, but could not find any results that needed to be taken care of.


    [Please trust the system. ]


    Yes yes, the system is the greatest, believing in the system.


    Turning off the light screen, he leaned back on the bed and rolled in the nkets. Why does he feel that there was something wrong with the Si family, but in the end he can''t figure what it is¡­ he fell asleep, and there was a man in a dream who could not see the face of in robes. He tried to get closer, but he found that his body could not move. Only shouting at the man in vain. Suddenly, the mist rose and gradually covered the tall and slender figure of the man. He became more anxious, waving his hands and trying to spread the fog, but it suddenly turned ck, and then the picture turned into a modern and lively street scene. A man and women of about 30 years oldughed and pushed a baby carriage out of the supermarket. Suddenly, arge truck came out of a corner and swerved towards the two. At a critical moment, the man pushed the stroller far away, and hugged the woman who was screaming.


    The sound of the impact and the brakes seemed to ring in his ear, and his line of sight turned sharply. He found himself as the baby in the stroller that could only turn over. He was ignorantly watching the man and woman that wereying in a pool of blood not far away, confused. ¡°Ah,¡± he cried. The crowd quickly came over, and a kind-hearted aunt put his stroller to the side, the blood red disappeared, and it became a supermarket door that was constantly pouring out people. He turned his head, but he seemed to see a familiar serious face¡­


    ¡°Father!¡±


    Awkwardly awakened from his dreams, he raised his hand and held his stinging forehead, his heart beat uncontrobly. This dream¡­and thest face he saw¡­He quickly got off the bed and found out the old photo album. He turned to the photo of Si Youqian and Si Jimin. He carefully confirmed it and couldn''t help but clench his fist.


    It is Si Youqian! He is definitely not mistaken!


    The scene in his dreams should be the memory of the original Qin Bao. But why was Si Youqian at the scene of the original Qin Bao''s parent''s ident?


    After her parents died, Zhong Min was always looking for her missing sister. Later, she married Si Youqian, and the search for her sister was taken over by her husband. Could it be that Si Youqian had already found out Zhong Ke''s whereabouts? Something is wrong, there really is something wrong with this family.


    He put down the album and took a deep breath. He pressed down the various negative emotions caused by the deepening of the original¡¯s memory, opened the system data, and looked more closely at the beginning of the story.


    Si Han''s kidnapping urred in early June. Five dayster, Xing Guan was rescued. Si Han disappeared. The police searched for half a month without any results, and they pulled back some of the police force. Zhong Min was already a bit unstable then, the news that the police had pulled back some of the police force had her thinking that her son had encountered something unexpected. She greatly provoked, and almost jumped from the vi roof. Luckily, Si Youqian realized that something was wrong with this wife and sent her to the hospital. After some examinations, Zhong Min was diagnosed with mild depression. A weekter, Si Youqian identally saw Qin Bao in a charity event funded by thepany to support the orphanage. After quickly confirming his identity, he brought it back and sent him to Zhong Min.


    A week¡­ too fast, and too much of a coincidence.


    In the case of his son''s disappearance and his wife''s hospitalization, Si Yougan actually had skill to fly to S city to participate in an unimportant public welfare activity of thepany. He also happened to find Qin Bao? Only a fool will believe that this is a coincidence!


    Such a big doubt he didn¡¯t realize at first, but if he hadn''t suddenly dreamed of the memory of the original Qin Bao¡­ He looked up and rubbed his forehead, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. Strange, he seems to have dreamed of something before dreaming about the original memory. Why can he not think of it¡­


    A few dayster, he consciously explored the locked childhood memories of the original Qin Bao before going to bed. After the car ident, he couldn''t go back home, the lonely and deste orphanage, the mean old dean, the dirty dark room, the winter nights that he couldn''t sleep through¡­ The high-end car that suddenly appeared in front of the orphanage, the cold eyes of Si Youqian that he saw through the car windows.


    He opened his eyes and the morning sun shone in the room, giving the impression of warmth andfort. When he opened the quilt, he went to the window and opened the curtain that was half-opened. He blinked at the door of the vi and looked at the scene of Si Youqian warmly saying goodbye to Zhong Min.


    What is the purpose of this man doing these things to Zhong Min?


    Probably aware of his gaze, Si Youqian suddenly looked up and looked at him. Ye Zhizhou was shocked and forced out a smile on his face, and he waved at him. Si Youqian wrinkled his face, his eyes slowed down, and the indifferent nod was the response. Zhong Min noticed Si Youqian¡¯s gaze and followed his sideline. She saw her little son wearing a pajamas standing in front of the second floor window. She waved his hand with a smile on her face. The joy in her eye could almost blind people.


    One face is full of love for the child, but other was only indifferent, what a strange pair of ¡°parents.¡±


    He smiled back at Zhong Min, then watched Si Youqian get on the car and touched the cold ss on the French window.


    It''s time to go to S city.


    In the original plot, that Detective Wei Zhuang only took a week to find out all of details of Si Han. But he was actually a lot slower. Fortunately, Ye Zhizhou was not in a hurry, and he did not really expect him to find what he was looking for. He had just hoped to pass his suspicions and to raise the detective¡¯s good feelings, and if possible, raise his negative impression of Si Han.


    Hanging up the phone call from Wei Zhuang, he bid farewell to Zhong Min, who was worried, and took a taxi to the airport. It¡¯s summer vacation, students who choose to travel abroad are everywhere. He is only one of them, not very conspicuous.


    After arriving in the city, he did not immediately go to the orphanage where the original Qin Bao once lived. Instead, he went to see the old site where the husband and wife once lived. Unlike the past, the oldmunity has be a lively integrated shopping mall. He walked in and bought a small cartoon rattle in the baby goods store, strolling aimlessly.


    Zhong Ke was separated from her family during the ten years of turmoil. At that time, she was only eleven years old, and she was somewhat naive. She was almost trafficked by traffickers. Later, she was lucky enough to be taken abroad by a foreign husband and wife, and was able to grow up safely. After nine years, the foreign husband and wife passed away. After bing an adult, Zhong Ke returned to the country after remembering her childhood memories. She became an English teacher in a middle school in S city, and then met the 3 years older than her, Qin Shouye, the dean of the old orphanage.


    The two married a yearter. Three yearster, they adopted a mixed-race child who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the orphanage and only spoke foreignnguages. Five yearster, he had his own child, named Qin Bao, and four months after Qin Bao was born the mixed-race child''s parents came to pick up the child, and after a few months, the couple died in a car ident. The strange thing is that Qin Bao, his only son after Qin Shouye''s death, was not sent to his own orphanage. He also did not receive a single penny for the car identpensation, he was directly sent to that broken down orphanage in the remote suburbs.


    More importantly, what role does Si Youqian do y in this?


    Unconsciously, he walked to the door of the cinema. He took back his thoughts and saw that it was still early. He bought a ticket and entered the cinema.


    Qin Mo passed through the entrance of the cinema, his eyes swept by the cartoon little rattle on the cinema counter, his steps stopped, turned around, gently picked up and shook it.


    The dull and dense squeaking sound ispletely different from the crisp sound in memory. He put the rattle down, and the dark green eyes quickly shed a trace of sorrow. After thinking about it, he took the rattle again and looked at the counter and looked at his staff. He asked politely, ¡°This, Is it yours?¡±


    The Mandarin ispletely different from his blond image.


    The staff who were trying to recall their English grammar, stupidly shook their heads. ¡°No, it should be another guests''.¡±


    He nodded, took the wallet out of his pocket, pulled a banknote with the most denomination inside and put it on the counter, swaying and ringing the rattle. ¡°This, I''m buying and say sorry to the guest for me.¡± After saying this, he turns around and leaves, giving the staff no chance to refuse.


    The staff looked at the counter, where there was enough money to buy multiple rattles, and looked at the tall back that was about to disappear from their sight. They called out to him, trying to get him to stop. ¡°Hey, you can''t do this, and the money is also too much! Guest? Please stop!¡±


    His back disappeared, the staff stopped calling, and someughed. Why is this foreign guest so strange? His way of speaking was very polite, but his way of doing things was so unreasonable¡­


    After seeing the movie, Ye Zhizhou lost his rattle but harvested a banknote. The next movie was about to start. The staff was too busy to fully exin the situation. They simply said that another guest ¡°bought¡± his rattle and went back to work after handing the money to him.


    ¡­probably a parent with children who ¡°bought¡± it. Heughed at the money and turned away from the cinema, heading in the opposite direction from Qin Mo.


    After returning to the hotel in the evening, he first searched the Inte for information on the orphanage where the original Qin Bao live when he was a child. After he was fully prepared, he disguised himself and went to the disgusting like orphanage the next day at noon, dressed up as a good university student.


    The once degenerate dean became old and fat, and turned out to be a smiling good-tempered grandfather. He eagerly ushered in Ye Zhizhou and said with emotion, ¡°The young people now have a good heart. We have new people volunteering since two days ago. Today, you have sent so many toys and the children are happy.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s good to make the children happy, it should be.¡± He sighed with enthusiasm, his mental power slowly explored, wrapped around the dean''s brain, and after sitting down in the dean¡¯s office, he looked straight at the dean¡¯s eyes and took his spirit. The mental power was entangled in his voice. ¡°This old dean, I remember that the orphanage was small and very old. It¡¯s very different now. Must have been many good people who donated.¡±


    The dean¡¯s expression was nk for a moment, then smiled back. ¡°We did have many good people who donated. But our orphanage could be what it is today is all because of the long-term funding of a wealthy person who we met more than ten years ago. With his blessings, the children in our yard can now go to school and eat enough.¡±


    ¡°Do you still remember a child named Qin Bao? He was very small when he was sent, only a few months old.¡±


    ¡°Qin Bao? No, no, there was no such child in our orphanage¡± The old dean quickly refused, then paused for a few seconds, and suddenly changed his answer and said, ¡°There is such a child<em>,</em> that child was sent by the hospital. They said his parents died in a car ident and there are no other rtives¡­ I felt sorry for him, I wanted to be good to him, but there are other children in my orphanage to support, and I don''t want to be harsh on him¡­ all because of that person, it was that person who made me have to do this, saying that as long as I have treated the child badly, he will help the rest of the children in the orphanage to go to school, have enough to eat, and I couldn''t help but agree¡­"


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s brow moved and increased the mental power in his voice. ¡°Who is that person? Why did he want you to raise the child like that?¡±


    The old dean''s face suddenly paled and he did not answer his question. Instead, he said with a confused look. "I didn''t want to, Xiao Bao, don''t me me¡­ don''t cry, follow the wealthy person, have a good life, grandpa did not want to abandon you¡­ The life in the orphanage is finally good, the children can eat enough and wear warm clothes, and the old building finally can be renovated¡­ just erase all the information of Xiao Bao, anyway, he has already been taken to live a good life. It''s ok, it''s ok¡­."


    Ye Zhizhou''s mood was somewhatplicated as he recover his mental power. He looked at the old dean''s eyes. He sighed. This person was probably tortured for a long time by the feeling of guilt in his heart. Although his mental defense is deep, it is also easy to be shaken, and it can be a little bit confusing. He took out an Anshen pill and ced it in the tea cup of the old dean. He looked around this simple office room and walked away.


    Qin Mo waved his hand,got off the car, and entered the orphanage.


    The vice president rushed out to greet him, and his expression was a little nervous. ¡°You must be Mr. Qin, my father is old and his body is not very good, he fell asleep after lunch, you see¡­¡±


    ¡°It''s ok, I just want to read the adoption information in your archives, no need for anything special."


    The deputy dean gave a sigh of relief and said. ¡°The procedures for adoption in our orphanage have been very strict, and the information is the mostplete. If you have any questions while you look at it, you can ask me. I''ve been working in the orphanage for more than two decades, I can remember all of the adopted children.¡±


    Qin Mo''s eyes moved and he looked at him sideways. "You remember all of them?"


    ¡°Yes, yes.¡± The deputy dean was looked at by his cold, green eyes with no emotions. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little worried. ¡°Even if we only took them in for a little while, I remember them¡­¡±


    ¡°Have you had a baby named Qin Bao? His eyes are very big, his hair is very soft, liked tough, liked to hold things when he slept at night, did not cry much, he also liked to spit bubbles when he was alone.¡± This was probably something he said too many times, the speed of speech is slightly faster, and his eyes slowly having a glimmer of hope. ¡°Have you had such a child?¡±


    ¡°No, no.¡± The deputy dean avoided his sight and heart a bit startled. ¡°The conditions in our orphanage back then were not good enough to take care of babies. We only took in children that were 5 years old or older."


    ¡°Ah, so it was like that¡­¡± The hope in the eyes shattered, Qin Mo''s eyes became indifferent again, and his attitude became more and more cold. ¡°Take me to the archives. I''ll be fine alone, no need to apany me."


    "Then please follow me," The vice president turned around and began to lead the way, his back full of cold sweat.<hr ss="wp-block-separator">

 Chapter 55

    Editor: Yuika


    After looking through the archives, he found no results. Qin Mo got on the car, he closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the seat. His face was exhausted.


    The assistant looked at him worriedly and advised, ¡°We have already looked through all the orphanages in the city, maybe the child has already¡­¡±


    Qin Mo opened his eyes and looked at him coldly.


    The assistant bowed his head and stopped talking.


    ¡°He''s still alive.¡± The car was driving slowly. Qin Mo looked out the window. ¡°I will find him.¡±


    The scenery outside the window slowly changed from the remote and deste suburbs to the bustling and crowded city center. The assistant looked at Qin Mo staring at the window, not speaking or moving at all. He hesitated and risked his head and reminded, ¡°Boss, we have been out for a week. The old chairman has been urging you to go back, you see¡­¡±


    Qin Mo looked away from the window, was silent for a while, and replied, ¡°Book a ticket for tonight, and send someone to continue checking.¡±


    The assistant got busy, took out his phone and start booking the ticket.


    There was a red light in front, the car slowly stopped, and the people crossing the road walked in front of the car in pairs of twos and threes. Qin Mo picked up the rattle that was thrown in the back seat and shook it, looked up and back at the window, and carelessly swept his eyes around. He suddenly focused on a person walking into the subway station not far away, quickly dropped the rattle, opened the door and ran out.


    ¡°Boss, are we booking the 8 o¡¯clock one in the evening or¡­ Hey? Boss? Where are you going boss! You can¡¯t get off the car here!¡± The assistant and the driver were both shocked, but the red light has turned green, the car behind them was beeping, the driver couldn''t do anything but start driving. The assistant stuck onto the window and watched his boss run away. He was anxious enough to blow up. ¡°It can''t be that the boss didn''t want to go back and decided to run right? No, I will be killed by the old chairman!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou entered the subway and looked at the map. After buying the ticket, he directly checked the ticket and boarded the esctor. There was a faintmotion at the ticket gate. He curiously looked back, but he could only see the bear pattern on the shirt of the person who was behind him. He awkwardly turned back around.


    ¡°Sir, please buy a ticket first.¡± The security inspector stopped Qin Mo and after seeing that he still wanted to rush in, repeated it again in English.


    Suddenly, the adrenaline died down. He raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing head. He apologized to the security inspector, then went to the railing on the side and took out the phone that had been ringing. After talking on the phone, he said directly, "Cancel the ticket, I can go back to the hotel myself. You don''t have to pick me up.¡±


    The assistant just gave up. ¡°Boss, why, why should I cancel the ticket? Then when do we go back, the old chairman¡­¡±


    ¡°I will call my father and talk to him, hang up first.¡± Hanging up the phone, he rubbed his forehead and waited for the headache to slowly go down slightly. After frowning, he looked down at the esctor going down. There was a trace of confusion in his eyes. It''s just an ordinary teenager''s back. Why did he react like that?


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The second day after returning from S city, Wei Zhuang finally found a clue.


    In a more chaotic office than before, the enchanting man was lying on the sofa looking half-dead, holding a usb in his hand. ¡°Here, this is what you wanted to know, and don¡¯t be sad, but you are not your dad and mom''s son. I found your real mom and dad, but they''re already dead. Hey, you''re so pitiful, I can''t bear to take your money.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou took the usb and said after a moment of silence, ¡°Then you will return the deposit to me.¡±


    ¡°Impossible! Not happening! I''m already doing your business at a loss. How can you do this to me? You know how much money I have spent investigating your dad and mom, how much favors I had to use! Ah, ah, I have a headache, you quickly go, go quickly.¡± Wei Zhuang was so offended that he turned his back to him, his hand waving like crazy.


    This temper¡­ Ye Zhizhou silently looked his wrinkled shirt and felt a little bit ofpassion. ¡°Actually, I still have some business¡­¡±


    Wei Zhuang immediately resurrected, bright eyes ncing at him. ¡°What business, I''m telling you, I only ept big business, will not pick up small ones, oh right, this time can not give you 30% off, only 5%, how about it? 5% off, no more!¡±


    A little more sympathy was added¡­ He handed over a silver bank card and lowered his eyes. ¡°Although I am not my father¡¯s biological son, I am very grateful that they raised me¡­ you can help me check where did their biological son go? I took his parents and his identity, I want to return it to him.¡±


    Wei Zhuang''s unsettled expression cracked and looked at him deeply. He raised his hand and held his forehead and mourned. "I told you to go, and you should go quickly. Why would you want waste time to check this for them for? Your dad is not a good person, it''s not like you did this on purpose. It''s that dad of yours¡­you, hey, what am I supposed to say¡­"


    He seemed to have already found out about Si Youqian using a roon cat to pose as a real cat? Ye Zhizhou looked at him silently and did not speak. This person seems to have a bit of a skill, he must be asked to check the Si Han! Investigate him! Use all your strength to investigate! The investigation this time is very different from the original plot. The time is much earlier. Can Wei Zhuang still fall in love with the protagonist? This time the protagonist will not be bullied and pitiful.


    Wei Zhuang''s peach blossoms eyes looked at everywhere but him. In the end, he saw no way, and he gave up. "Ok, I''ll investigate for you. I will make it clear, don''t be too sad, that dad of yours¡­ ¡­don¡¯t take him as your father anymore in the future! Your mother can still be your mother, in fact, you have a rtionship with your mother¡­ Anyways, the information is in the usb, you can see it yourself!¡±


    Finally picked up! He put down the silver bank card and picked up the ubs, quickly reported the card''s password, and then ran away.


    That child is really¡­ Wei Zhuang sat up from the sofa, and nced at the silver bank card on the table. And all the expressions on his face disappeared, his eyebrows hang down, and then he sighed long. The things he found were too shocking. He felt that he could dig a lot of terrible things if he continues. But¡­ he took out his mobile phone and pulled up the phone number of Si Yue. He hesitated for a long time and finally dialed it. Although professional ethics tells him that he must keep this a secret, he still can¡¯t bear to let his friend¡¯s family be dug up by himself while he doesn¡¯t know.


    Two dayster, Si Yue returned to his home, and his words and deeds were still cold towards Ye Zhizhou, but he finally stopped working all day. Zhong Min is very happy, and Si Youqian also smiled more, but Ye Zhizhou was rejected more and more by the father and son.


    After a few more days, when university started, Ye Zhizhou finally got rid of the suffocating family atmosphere and set out to prepare for the protagonist in the university. On the first day of university he didn¡¯t want anyone to send him off. He sorted out the required information and got a ride to the school. Registered to pay the tuition fee and to get the military training uniforms, and everything went smoothly. After he got the key to the bedroom, he confirmed it. The B building 402 was the same as the original plot. Turned the hat on his head, he came to the front of the 402 building B, found that the door was half open, then smiled and directly pushed the door and went inside.


    There were two people in the room. One tall and strong, and is wiping the chair. The other figure on the upper bunk is not very clear, but his figure is simr to him. It is a normal figure that is not tall or short.


    The tall, ck and strong guy saw someoneing in, busy and enthusiastically looked over and say, ¡°Is it a new roommate? Hello, my name is Wang Hu, a local of B city,puter major, please take care of me the next four years.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou took out a bottle of water he had bought on the road and gave him the bottle. He smiles and replies, ¡°My name is Si Han, also aputer major. Like you, I am a local of B City. Let''s go out and y in the future!¡±


    "Sihan?" Wang Hu took the water. After thanking him, he nced at his other roommate who was getting down from the upper bunk after hearing movement. He rubbed his head. "Hey, why are you both call Si Han? Just the way of writing it is different, what to call the two of youter, when the two of you stand together you really look alike, like twins.¡±


    "Really?" A warm and clear voice came from behind, and Ye Zhizhou turned and saw a boy with the same ck hair wearing a hat and a light-colored casual sportswear jump off the top bunk and was smiling like the sun. He walked up to him, extended his hand to him. ¡°Hello, I am Wei Sihan, the han is the character from frigid<sup>[1]</sup> it seems that we have some fate together, very happy to meet you.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou nced up and down his clothes, his eyes became meaningful, and he took his hand back and smiled. ¡°My name is Si Han, and Han is the character from conservation<sup>[1]</sup>¡± The same name, simr clothes, andugh. They both like to lick their lips, and even the sports watches are the same.


    Interesting.


    In the original plot, although Si Han was also a rtively sunny personality, his style of dressing was biased towards the fresh and clean look,pletely different from the original Qin Bao''s sporty style of clothes, how is it that today¡­ is it a coincidence? Or is this another hole in the original plot that is not exined?


    After moving into the dormitory for a few days, Ye Zhizhou finally confirmed that Si Han was imitating the words and likes of the original Si Han and the words always intentionally or unintentionally mention the past, as if to deliberately lead him to discover that something was wrong.


    For example, when eating, he deliberately showed a simrity to Si Youqian; during some small talk at night he inadvertently mentioned that he didn''t have any memories from before the age of five; in the morning, when everyone woke up, he would ¡°wake up¡± from the nightmare and shouted out ¡°Kidnapping¡±, ¡°Mom, Dad¡± and ¡°Xing Gang run¡±; during military training fainted, he would fall in front of Ye Zhizhou, and he would unconsciously talk in a B city dialect even though he was as a person who grew up in W city¡­ all kinds of situations, too many to mention. Ye Zhizhou opened the system''s scanning function, monitoring his physical condition, and watched his various actings with enthusiasm. He marveled that his ¡°wake up¡± and ¡°fainted¡± performances are really great! It is no wonder that the original Qin Bao was so quick to find out, there is such a reminder around, it is impossible to not find out!


    Probably a bit of anxious about Ye Zhizhou¡¯s ¡°dull¡± reaction, the day before the end of military training, Si Han ¡°fainted¡±, of course, he still fell in front of Ye Zhizhou. The instructor was speechless at this ¡°soft¡± student. He did not need Ye Zhizhou to report and waved his hand and said, ¡°Take him to the infirmary. Today¡¯s training is free for him, let him rest well.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou endured theughter, and then with the help of ssmates, he took up the Si Han and ran to the infirmary.


    ¡°Big brother¡­save me¡­¡±


    The standard B city dialect reappeared, and Ye Zhizhou smiled and continued to run.


    ¡°Mom, Dad¡­ Xiao Han is afraid¡­¡±


    Hey, there¡¯s no new content, he thought that there was going to be a big move today.


    ¡°Xiao Guan, I will help you escape, don¡¯t be afraid¡­ Xing Guan¡­¡±


    Ok, this time saying a surname, something easier for people to associate with and confirm.


    ¡°Xiao Guan¡­ my ssical music disc¡­ you said you would gift me one¡­¡±


    Hey, this time the content is very good, Xing Guan''s disc was only sent about two days ago, and only a few people in the family know about it. Such a clear ¡°sleep talk¡±, he''s almost too embarrassed to pretend not to hear it, but unfortunately¡­ He pushed open the door of the infirmary, he saw the doctor on duty really was who the online campus forums said was. Male lead number 4, Lu Chen, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly, ¡°Doctor! My ssmates fainted, and he started to talk nonsense. You have to look at him! Right, it¡¯s probably because it''s too hot, I have a little tinnitus, how can I cure this?¡±


    The ¡°sleep talk¡± came to an abrupt end.


    Ye Zhizhou bowed his head and covered his smile. He set the person onto the sick bed sideways and took off his hat. ¡°Why are you not moving doctor? My ssmate also fainted two days ago, but the doctor on duty didn¡¯t see anything wrong. The question is, is my ssmate particrly sick?¡±


    ¡°Be quiet, too noisy¡± Lu Chen frowned, went to the bed and reached out to touch Si Han¡¯s forehead. He also touched his neck, his face became ck, ¡°What sick?! As a man actually trying to escape military training, shameful! Go back, I won¡¯t give you a sick note.¡±


    [The chance of Lu Chen''s love with the protagonist has dropped to 90%. Please continue your efforts, host. ]


    Even this can make it go down? Lord school doctor, your strict morals are so cute!


    He probably felt a little shameful, the Si Hanying on the bed didn¡¯t move, and continue to fake fainting. Ye Zhizhou put his hat into his waistband, rubbed his sweaty hair and pulled on the white sleeves of Lu Chen''s white coat, and said, ¡°How can you say that? This is my ssmate¡¯s second time fainting. You have to take a closer look, or you can look at his medical records. He called Wei Sihan. I saw it happen two days ago. He always faints and there''s definitely a problem with his body!¡±


    Lu Chen''s forehead bursts blue veins. He shook off his hands, went to the table and looked at the medical record. He suppressed his anger and asked, "His name is Wei Sihan, right?"


    "Yes!¡±


    He hurriedly scanned the notes left by the doctor on duty. He mmed the notebook and said, ¡°Fake fainting once is already enough Thest doctor was nice and did not expose him. Now he''s doing it a second time. Get out!¡±


    [The chances of Lu Chen and the protagonist¡¯s love have dropped to 80%, please continue your efforts host. ]


    Ye Zhizhou showed a difficult look, and in a small voice he muttered, ¡°But my ssmate is a very good person and a good freshman representative. He would not do this kind thing¡­ Besides, military training is not very tiring this time. The school understands that we are also burdened¡­¡±


    "This year''s freshman representative is like this?"


    [The chances of Lu Chen and the protagonist¡¯s love have dropped to 70%, please continue your efforts, host. ]


    ¡°Military training has already been reduced, but you are still doing this? If you don''t believe the doctor, don¡¯t go to doctor, and don¡¯t doubt the doctor¡¯s diagnosis!¡± Lu Chen¡¯s face waspletely dark, disdainfully looked at the Si Han on the bed, then said to Ye Zhizhou, ¡°You can care about your ssmates, but don¡¯t be too blind. Be careful and don''t get sold and then help the people count the money<sup>[2]</sup>.¡± After thinking about it, he added, ¡°For you, long-term tinnitus needs to be careful taken care of, don''t overwhelm yourself with military training. Don¡¯t give yourself too much pressure, drink less coffee, and eat more vitamins. If the situation does not improve after one month,e back here to find me. As for your ssmate, how you brought him to me is how you''ll bring him back! Limited technology, can¡¯t see his illness!¡±


    Si Han was embarrassed by the words of this doctor. In the end, he was so shallow that he couldn''t help but "wake up" , sat up and said, "Where is this?" After scratching his head, he actually got up and walked out. He didn''t even look at Ye Zhizhou and Lu Chen who stood on the side.


    ¡°Oh.¡± Lu Chen sneered, full of sarcasm, ¡°Wei Si Han is it? I''ll remember him.¡±


    [The chance of love between Lu Chen and the protagonist has dropped to 50%, please continue your efforts host. ]


    Ye Zhizhou almost couldn''t hold back hisughter, he bowed his head, thanked him and ran out of the infirmary room,ughing. This protagonist, really is so helpful!

 Chapter 56

    TL: Mina


    Editor: Yuika


    On the first weekend after military training, Wei Sihan got up early and went out. Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes, slowly sat up and got dressed, while checking that the spiritual power that was wrapped around Wei Sihan had no problems. After making sure that nothing was wrong, he got out of bed and went to wash his face.


    At half past eight, he followed Wei Sihan to a small snack street, and then unexpectedly saw the second male lead, Wei Songning.


    Wei Songning had just graduated from college this year and was interning at aw firm. There is still two years before he bes a famouswyer. Although this second male lead appeared the earliest, and spent a lot of time with the protagonist, his rtionship with the protagonist was the slowest. He had even stopped talking to the protagonist when he found out that he was from the Si family. He had thought that the protagonist was a gold digger, and that he forgot his poor adoptive father when he found his rich biological parents.


    The cold rtionshipsted for a long time, and it was onlyter, when Wei Songning just happened to see the protagonist getting bullied by the original Qin Bao, that he gradually began to soften. Wei Songning felt that he had misunderstood the protagonist. He saw that he was not doing well in his biological parents¡¯ home. His heart soften, and he started treating him a little better than before. So, the feelings of the two men gradually warmed up and finally a rtionship between the couple was determined after drinking and doing that. But at the time, the protagonist of ¡°simple and kind¡± actually had two boyfriends, Wei Zhuang and Xing Guan, and secretly developed the spare tires of He Jing and Lu Chen¡­


    This circle really is chaotic, and it was actually doing ** after drinking¡­ Ye Zhizhou flipped through the information while watching the two brothers talking andughing in the breakfast shop diagonally opposite him, the mood was subtle. This Wei Songning g is difficult to pull out. After all, he and the protagonist have more than ten years of emotional connection; but it is also easy to pull this g, he only needs to find the entry point, such as¡­ his father, Wei Jianguo.


    Wei Songning was very strong beause of his poor family conditions. The thing he disliked most was anyone looking down on his father. This became more and more serious after his mother died of illness, almost to the point where others could not say anything bad about his father. Part of the reason whyter he was able to reconciled with the protagonist so quickly, was because the protagonist was still secretly filial to Wei Jianguo even after he recognized his biological parents.


    Still secretly filial to Wei Jianguo¡­ Ye Zhizhou rubbed his chin and turned his hat to the front to cover his face and began to eat his food.


    The protagonist is now trying to imitate the original Qin Bao by eating and wearing, but the original Qin Bao''s clothes are very expensive. This protagonist right now is the son of a poor teacher. Where did the money he used to buy expensive clothing and limited edition sports watchese from? Moreover, when the protagonist came out to see Wei Songning today, he specially changed the expensive clothes and wore very ordinary shirt and jeans. It seems that those clothes could not be seen by Wei Songning.


    After eating and he wiping his mouth, he touched the hair of Wei Sihan that he had taken in his pocket, and his thoughts flying.


    Wei Sihan finished thest bit of soy milk and pretended to casually say, ¡°Big brother, you have time go back home on the 11th? Will thepany be particrly busy?¡±


    ¡°Even if I''m busy I still have to take the time to to go back and see Dad.¡± Wei Songning smiled and nced at him. He said, ¡°Don''t worry, you won''t have to go home alone. I just got this month''s bonus, let''s go buy some clothes for youter.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°No, I have enough clothes to wear, and you should keep the bonus for yourself and Dad.¡± Wei Sihan said with a sincere face, suddenly frowning and worriedly said, ¡°But I found a part-time job, and on the 11th I have to go to work, what should I do? I want to go back to see father too.¡±


    Wei Songning heard him and frowned. ¡°Didn''t we tell you not to find a part time job yet? For you to get used to university life first.¡±


    Wei Sihan bowed his head. ¡°I just fear that father is working too hard and wanted to earn my own living expenses¡­¡±


    ¡°You are too filial¡­¡± Wei Songning''s heart softened, raised his hand and touched his hair, and sighed. ¡°Then try to get the 11th off if you can. It''s your first time being away from home, and Dad is worried about you. If you can¡¯t go back¡­ tell me in advance, ok?¡±


    Getting the answer he wanted, Wei Sihan nodded hard and looked so obedient.


    Ye Zhizhou, who was using his spiritual power to listen to their conversation, raised an eyebrow. Part-time? The protagonist''s part-time job only started two months after the start of the school. Why was he lying?


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    He quickly flipped the original plot data to the 11th and looked at it carefully. This year, the 11th is really ordinary, and there is no key plot point. If there is anything special, it is that Si Youqian did not apany his family on the 11th, but ran to a holiday resort to apany a customer.


    Turning off the information, he frowned in contemtion. What if what he had suspected before was wrong? The thing about the music disc was not revealed by the Si Yue but by Si Youqian? No wonder he couldn''t understand the plot. The family member that was in contact with Wei Sihan was Si Yoqian¡­ So Si Youqian already knew the existence of Sihan? But why didn¡¯t he directly recognize his son, but instead let his own son run to his fake son and act out various reminders?


    It was weird, like he was deliberately trying to use his hands to bring out Si Han''s identity¡­ wait, borrowing his hands?


    He suddenly thought of something, and he unconsciously sat up straight. Why did he have to borrow his hands, is there any special meaning in it? In his brain, he quickly passed through the faces of a few people, and finally stopped at Zhong Min.


    The two brothers over there had already finished breakfast and went to the subway station. He hesitated and didn¡¯t keep up with them, but took a ride to Wei Zhuang''s office instead.


    Detectives have no weekends so the Wei Zhuang, in front of Ye Zhizhou, was still an image of excessive fatigue.


    ¡°How did you turn yourself into this?¡±


    Wei Zhuang looked at him with a sigh of relief, and mmed the table. ¡°You leave, whenever I see you I get a headache, I don¡¯t know if I should take your money¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou''s sympathy began to flood, and the voice unconsciously went down. "In fact, I came today because there are two things I want to ask you to¡­"


    Wei Zhuang immediately grabbed his hair, ¡°Howe there''s more?! You are giving me things that are more troublesome than thest. I don¡¯t want to see so many hidden family secrets. I feel like I''m not that far from being murdered! DaBao<sup>[1]</sup> Ge, please have mercy. Did you know, when I was investigating your informationst time, I was found out by another person who was also investigating you. Recently, it was so miserable. I didn''t tell you about it to not scare you. But you actually ran here to scare me, are you still a friend?!¡±


    Another person? Who? However, this is not the focus. The current focus is that the identity of Wei Sihan is very suspicious!


    Pulling out the hair in his pocket and pushing it towards Wei Zhuang, he solemnly said, ¡°This is the hair of my roommate Wei Sihan. I suspect that he is the son of my dad. Help me to do a paternity test with him and my dad."


    Wei Zhuang was shocked. ¡°Wei Sihan? Your roommate? This name¡­ So I can¡¯t find out the whereabouts of your fake mom and dad''s son, but you actually met him yourself?!¡±


    He shook his head and took out Zhong Min''s hair from another pocket and pushed it across. "This is the hair that I took home from my mom''sb after I met Wei Sihan. For safety, please check that he and my mother are rted too.¡±


    The sensitive Wei Zhuang quickly understood the meaning of his words, frowning asked, ¡°So you think this Wei Si Han is your father¡¯s son, but suspect that he is not your mother¡¯s son? So he may not be the child who disappeared that year. But your father¡¯s illegitimate child¡­ then why is he called that name?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m also confused about that.¡± He said with some embarrassment, ¡°I just started to notice him because of his name, butter¡­ I don¡¯t know if it''s just me, but I think he is dressing up like me, imitating me, and he¡¯s always saying strange things in front of me, like deliberately reminding me to let me doubt my past.¡± He exined what happened during this time, he continued saying "His behavior is really suspicious, but I think he is not the one who disappeared that year; plus, he and my mother do not look alike¡­¡±


    Wei Zhuang''s brain began to work quickly. He connected what he had just said and the information he had recently found. He was shocked. "I am going to find someone to do these two paternity tests. If I hurry, the results wille out in two days" After finishing, he took the two hair samples, carefully put it away, directly opened the door, and ran.


    Ye Zhizhou couldn''t stop him, and could only say. ¡°But I haven''t given you a hair sample of Si Youqian¡­¡±


    Two dayster, the results came out. Wei Sihan was indeed the son of Si Yougan, but he had no blood rtionship with Zhong Min.


    He had thought it was the y of a roon cat bing the prince and then the real prince returning, but it turned out that it was a fake prince who wanted to pretend to be the real prince chasing away the roon cat.


    Wei Zhuang''s three views were broken and the information was handed over to Ye Zhizhou. He was further shocked to see that it seemed like Ye Zhizhou had already expected this kind of result. In front of him, he called Si Yue and directly dropped the bomb. "Big Brother, I''m not your real younger brother.¡± He didn''t wait for the other person to reply and continued. ¡°I found your younger brother, but he is not the real younger brother you thought he was. I am now at the Zhuanghe Detective Office on xx Street. Come pick me up, I think we need to talk.¡± Then simply hung up the phone.


    Wei Zhuang was stunned. ¡°You, you let your brothere here to pick you up?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Zhizhou, of course, replied, ¡°He has a car.¡±


    Wei Zhuang felt guilty. ¡°That, then while you are waiting for your big brother, I, I have something to go do.¡±


    ¡°No need.¡± Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes and deliberately lowered his voice, a gloomy look on his face. ¡°When I came overst time, you put the phone on the sofa and I happened to see it. You and my brother are good friends, right?"


    "No!" Wei Zhuang jumped directly, then carefully looking over, looking sorry. "Well, your brother and I met when I was studying abroad, so I''ve known him for several years¡­ Sorry, I didn''t mean to hide it from you."


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I forgive you.¡± He looked up at him innocently and poked him where it hurt. ¡°As long as you give me another discount.¡±


    ¡°Impossible!¡±


    When Si Yue stepped into his friend¡¯s office, he saw Ye Zhizhou and Wei Zhuang arguing over prices, and seemed to be very harmonious. He stopped, his brow wrinkled more tightly, and he said. ¡°What you said on the phone, who''s going to exin it to me?¡±


    Half an hourter, the three were seated in a private restaurant room and they had asked for the most confidential and confidential room.


    Ye Zhizhou pushed two photographs of the paternity test and Wei Sihan and whispered, ¡°The information is here, you can see it for yourself. Also, I''m sorry for taking the identity of your brother over these years.¡±


    After a few seconds, Si Yue took over the information and looked at it. After reading it, he looked at Ye Zhizhou with an unclear gaze. For a long time, he suddenly sighed. ¡°I always thought¡­ you were father¡¯s illegitimate child.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou and Wei Zhuang were shocked at the same time, and they said at the same time. ¡°What do you mean?!¡±


    ¡°I was already ten years old when the kidnapping case happened. How could I not notice it when my brother was changed to someone else, even if it was a yearter?¡± Si Yue''s eyes shed with sentimentality and poured himself a cup of tea. Covering his face with the steam. ¡°My father having an illegitimate child I always knew, but mother¡¯s personality is too weak. I dare not speak. Later, the kidnapping case happened. You reced Xiao Han in family. I thought you were father''s illegitimate child.¡±


    There was actually such a secret¡­ Ye Zhizhou is a bit stunned.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Mother¡¯s mental state was very bad during that time.¡± Si Yue slowly turned the teacup, and his voice fill with sorrow as he remembered. ¡°I may have hated you for taking up my brother¡¯s identity, but because I was worried about my mother¡¯s condition, I chose to pretend to not notice. I did not want to lose my mother after losing my brother. Later I couldn''t help it and ran to ask father, father was surprised, but he quickly confirmed my guess and promised me that taking you in was just to calm my mother. And he has been continuing to looking for Xiao Han. When he finds Xiao Han, he will drive you away. I just didn¡¯t expect this to take more than 10 years.¡±


    ¡°Is that what your father said to you?¡± Wei Zhuang scowled ¡°Your father is so hateful!¡±


    ¡°I was lied to.¡± Si Yue put down the teacup, and the sadness in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he turned back into the big brother with hard to read emotions. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I would be deceived by my own biological father. This Wei Sihan, I will never let him return to the family.¡± When he looked at Ye Zhizhou, his eyes with a touch of warmth for the first time. ¡°In fact, you are very good. Although a little willful, my mother likes you very much. These past years¡­ sorry.¡±


    ¡°It''s ok, I can understand.¡± What legitimate child would like an illegitimate child who was pretending to be his missing brother?


    ¡°So¡­¡± Si Yue hesitated a little, then unexpectedly took the initiative to raise his hand and touch his hair, and asked, ¡°Who are you? Why did your father find you in the past? And you and Xiao Han still look alike.¡±


    ¡°My original name was Qin Bao.¡± Ye Zhizhou did not dodge his hand. Now the Si Yue is arade, shouldn¡¯t irritate his ownrade. ¡°In fact, I can still be called your brother. My biological mother is called Zhong Ke. Your little aunt.¡±


    Si Yue was startled for a moment, then turned sideways to hug him. ¡°You turned out to be the cousin that the mother had been looking for¡­ sorry, and, thank you.¡± Finding out the truth after so many years. He really has wronged this innocent child for too long.


    After the identity of Wei Sihan was found out, the matter was like as if he had found the main thread of web, a simple tug and many things popped up. Wei Zhuang began to investigate again, and Ye Zhizhou was also trying to find clues in the system data.


    The illegitimate child could not have suddenlye out from nowhere, and he is curious where he came from.


    <hr ss="wp-block-separator">


    [1] MC¡¯s real name in this arc is Qin Bao | Çر¦, so Wei Zhuang is calling him ´ó±¦, kinda like an nickname/endearment


    T/N: That was a plot twist, how many of you expect that, I didn¡¯t. I wonder what happened to the real Si Han¡­.>-><hr ss="wp-block-separator">

 Chapter 57

    Trantor:Mina


    Editor:Yuika


    It''s another weekend. It''s a few days before the start of the holidays on the 11th. Ye Zhizhou is sitting on the bench in front of the library, while using his mental power to eavesdrop on Wei Shi and Si Youqian''s phone call in the library and flipping through the plot information provided by the system.


    After the fourth time of looking at the plot of the kidnapping case, he found the figure of a person ¨C Si Youqian''s secretary, Fang Shuhe. This secretary is a silent and reliable person. In the past ten years, except when she asked for half a year off to take care of her ill father, she has been living as a secretary of Si Youqian. She is not married or in a rtionship. A model worker.


    After the kidnapping case, Si Youqian was busy with Zhong Min, taking care of her unstable mental state. Si Yue was still young. Si Jimin was too old, he couldn''t help with anything but taking care of his grandson. The task of following the police to find Si Han fell on this secretary.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    In the original plot, the secretary was almost everywhere, but there was no sense of existence. When Zhong Min was sick and hospitalized and Si Youqian was too busy with thepany to visit her, it was this secretary who took care of her. When Si Youqian could not work because he was taking care of Zhong Min, she diligently did the work for him. When Si Youqian learned about the existence of Wei Sihan from Si Yue, it was her who collected the hair of Wei Sihan, so that Si Youqian could quickly do the paternity test.


    When the whole family was hiding the fact that Qin Bao and Wei Sihan were fighting from Zhong Min, it was her who identally let Zhong Min hear the truth when she was on the phone. After Qin Bao''s death in prison, she also did not close the study door properly after bringing information from thepany, letting Zhong Min, who was reading in the small hall outside the study room hear the conversation between Si Youqian and Si Yue and learned about Qin Bao''s death. Zhong Min was then sent directly to the hospital because of the shock.


    The secret and reliable secretary has repeatedly let contents of phone calls be heard and forgot to close the door so that others could hear the conversations of her boss, who would believe that this was not intentional. The most terrifying thing is that after Zhong Min was hospitalized, most of time it was the secretary was taking care of her, and Zhong Min then died not even two yearster.


    Ye Zhizhou got out a photo of the secretary and found that this person was very interesting. Even though she receives a generous sry, she dresses like a old fashioned person. She wore sses, had thick bangs, and her face was sallow. Her figure is very good, but she always likes to wear old-fashioned clothes. He poked the system¡¯s restore function, scans the bones of Fang Shuhe underneath and restores her appearance.


    Without the cover of thick bangs and sses, the traces of the years left on her face were erased. The appearance of the model secretary is not ugly at all, but rather very delicate and beautiful, simr to Wei Sihan''s features. Comparing the time when Fang Shuhe''s father died and the age of Wei Sihan, he was almost certain that the secretary was the biological mother of Wei Sihan.


    This story is really ridiculous now. He is the fake Si Han, but what he thought was the real Si Han was the illegitimate child. The illegitimate child was also trying to squeeze him away and rece him to continue to pretend to be the real Si Han. Si Youqian forced the original Qin Bao to imitate the behavioral habits of Si Han, and now forced the illegitimate child to imitate the behavior habits of the original Si Han. So the goal of Si Youqian is to cultivate the illegitimate child into a substitute for the substitute. So where is the real Si Han who has been imitated? Si Youqian dared to make the illegitimate child pretend to be the real Si Han, that year, did the child really just go missing¡­


    Assuming that the original Si Han had died, it would be even more malicious. He can assume that the kidnapping case of that year was nned by Si Youqian to turn the illegitimate child into the legitimate child¡­ He turned off the light screen and could not help but sneer. After going through several worlds, Si Youqian is the most disgusting father he has ever seen. He is so disgusting that he wants to destroy him.


    First, kidnap the legitimate child, then, find a counterfeit with simr features of the original child and then wait for more than ten years. The children would have grown up and they wouldn''t be able to use the appearance of when they were still children to prove anything. The background of the illegitimate child has also been fixed. He then let the illegitimate child pretend to be the missing Si Han. He will use the fake son to pick up his identity and then squeeze out the fake son. Then he will be the real Si Han, and the illegitimate child will gain the recognition of the Si family, including Zhong Min. The original Qin Bao waspletely exploited in this plot. After more than a decade of being the fake Si Han, he was actually the biggest helper of the illegitimate child! There is also Zhong Min, who lost her son, was betrayed by her husband, and finally treated her illegitimate child as her own child¡­


    The anger in his heart rolled, and he took a deep breath to suppress his emotions and forced himself to continue thinking.


    If Si Youqian likes the illegitimate child so much, why didn''t he directly divorce Zhong Min and marry the mistress, so that the illegitimate child directly bes the legitimate child? Why did he want to let the illegitimate child rece the identity of Si Han? Unless¡­he has a reason to not divorce Zhong Min, and the identity of Si Han can bring benefits to the illegitimate child.


    Thinking of the car ident he saw in his dream, he looked up and stared at the sun shining in the sky.


    Maybe it''s not Zhong Min, but what Si Youqian was after should be something from the Zhong family, something he wanted to the point of killing the Zhong family. Zhong Ke and her husband, who died in that car ident, Qin Bao, who died in prison, Zhong Min, who died of illness¡­ At the end of the plot, the entire Zhong family, except for Si Yue, who had no trust in the Si Youqian but also did not know the truth at all, was all dead.


    Ah, this is a story that makes people hate it, he so wants to use a machine gun to just kill Si Youqian.


    The sun in front of him was suddenly covered by a long, powerful hand, and then a low-pitched voice came from the front. ¡°Looking at the sun like this, are your eyes not ufortable?¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Ufortable.¡± He unconsciously answered, and finally returned from the various plots he was thinking about, bowed his head and blinked a bit, "Thank you for reminding me, I was just thinking about things, not paying attention."


    ¡°This can¡¯t be done in the future.¡± The tall figure suddenly leaned over and covered him in the shadows. The warm and dry palm touched his face. The strength was very light, with some cherished feeling. ¡°Xiao Bao, I finally found you.¡±


    When his line of sight recovered, he looked into a pair of dark green eyes. He couldn''t help but blink his eyes, kind of awkward, ¡°Eh? Qin Bao?"


    In the backlight, the tall man whose features are not very clear, had a touch of nostalgia, his voice is full of sighs and satisfaction. ¡°My name is Qin Mo, your brother. Xiao Bao, I''m here to bring you back home.¡±


    Qin Mo? That mixed-race child? How did this cheap brother appear so early?


    The ringing of the mobile phone suddenly sounded, he subconsciously connected, and Wei Zhuang''s pig-like roar rang. "Da Bao, I''m so sorry. The S city''s people who were investigating you, I idently led them to the city of B! The foreigner actually yed with me and followed the traces of the traces that I erased. I obviously hidden them! Ah, who is this guy! I want to kill him and his whole family! Da Bao, you run quickly! I tracked their itinerary. They seem to be heading straight to B city. If they are fast, they will be there today!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Kill my family?¡± Qin Mo stood up straight, his eyes moved to his mobile phone, his eyes cold, ¡°You are the bug that kept me looking for Xiao Bao?¡±


    ¡°Bug? Which bastard is talking! Dabao, are you okay?¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    "I¡¯m very good." Ye Zhizhou smiled and finally remembered that there was another group of people who Wei Zhuang had mentioned to him. He was so upied with the plot and doubts about the identity of Wei Sihan, that he forgot about it. Ignore it¡­ Low coughing to cover up the guilty conscience and jealousy, he sneaked a glimpse of Qin Mo, adjusted the volume of the mobile phone, lowered the sound to appease Wei Zhuang with a few words, and then hung up the phone.


    Qin Mo stood in front of him and stared at him while he did this series of actions, his expression unknown. ¡°Xiao Bao, this bug was yours?¡±


    He has never met my brother, how can he get along with him? The original plot didn''t describe the character of this cheap brother in detail. What should he do? Ufortably moving, he patted the bench sitting, suddenly nervous. ¡°That¡­ you should sit first, and we can slowly discuss any problems.¡±


    Qin Mo sat down from his other side, sideways, looking at him with great concentration.


    His deep look, his green twilight colored eyes, the sunshine on his shining blonde hair, and there''s the good skin of foreigners¡­ Ye Zhizhou turned his head to avoid sight, talking about business. ¡°I know you, since a while ago I had doubts about my own life, and I found someone to check it¡­ I didn¡¯t expect you to find me so soon.¡± It was several years earlier than the original story.


    Qin Mo was silent for a while and suddenly asked, ¡°You went to S cityst month, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I was there.¡±


    ¡°Sure enough, it was you.¡±


    He said this in German, and Ye Zhizhou did not understand. ¡°What?¡±


    ¡°Nothing.¡± Qin Mo regained his thoughts and turned his eyes to the young figure who ran across thewn and blinked. ¡°You suddenly want to check your own past because of him?¡±


    ¡°Who?¡± Ye Zhizhou asked while looking around, and he saw Wei Sihan, who was wearing simr clothes as him again.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Si, why are you here? Ah, is this handsome foreign guy next to you a friend of yours? An international student?¡± Wei Sihan hugged the book and approached with a sunny smile.


    "Can you understand German?"


    Ye Zhizhou, who had just finished saying hello with Wei Sihan, too stunned to react to the Germannguage that Qin Mo suddenly talked in. After understanding, he quickly replied in German, ¡°Yes.¡±


    Qin Mo''s eyes shed a smile, ignoring the Wei Sihan who came over and continued to speak in German. "Go to the south gate after ss, I will wait for you." Then he turned and walked away.


    His greetings were ignored so Wei Sihan was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and turned his hat and asked, ¡°Xiao Si, who was this person? He didn''t even respond back, so cold. And whatnguage did you just talk in? It doesn¡¯t sound like English.¡±


    ¡°It was a foreigner who was asking for directions, and he was speaking German.¡± Ye Zhizhou waspletely utterly speechless because of his ¡°habitual¡± movement of his hat. He got up and looked at his watch, saying goodbye, ¡°The afternoon ss is about to begin. I¡¯m leaving.¡±


    Wei Sihan heard the words and tugged him,ughing. ¡°Are you being stupid, we have the same major, our sses is the same, let¡¯s go together.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou had no choice but to stop, smile, and walk side by side toward the teaching building. As they walked, while Wei Sihan ¡°unintentionally¡± revealed his "childhood past." Ye Zhizhou was slowly sharpening a knife in his heart with a huge urge to kill. The same dormitory with the same profession is definitely a conspiracy of Si Youqian! How many coincidences like this are in the world?! It''s just annoying. If it''s not to raise the suspicion of Si Youqian, he would like to change the clothes of the original owner''s cab, and then block the frequent "memories" of Wei Sihan!


    After finally finishing the afternoon sses, Wei Sihan came up to him again after leaving the ssroom and followed him.. No matter what reason Ye Zhizhou used, he had wanted to follow no matter what!


    What is he up to now¡­ Ye Zhizhou feels a little broken.


    ¡°Xiao Han! Brother is here to see you!¡±


    A familiar and at the same time unfamiliar voice came from the edge of the flower bed. Ye Zhizhou and Wei Sihan turned their heads at the same time. Before Ye Zhizhou could see who it was, the book in Wei Sihan''s hands fell to the ground.


    The tall figure in a ck sports suit, with tanned skin and handsome smile. Very good, he knows why that Wei Sihan is entangled in him and he is not going to make trouble. Now, with a smile on his face, he is not someone else. It was Xing Guan who has had trouble with the master and the cold!


    Wei Sihan took a step forward and muttered, ¡°Xiao Guan?¡±


    After running close, he raised his hand and prepared to pat Ye Zhizhou''s shoulder, who Xing Guan called for. He turned to look at Wei Sihan, and he frowned and said, ¡°What did you call me for? Also, how is this ssmate''s skin so pale? Are you sick?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Guan.¡± Wei Sihan continued to callout, then grabbed him and cried andughed. ¡°You managed to escape, right? I helped you lure the kidnappers away, you managed to run away, right?¡±


    Xing Guan changed his face and turned to look at him. He widened his eyes. ¡°What did you say?!¡± After turning to look at Ye Zhizhou, ¡°Xiaohan, this person is your ssmate right?! How can he talk about this, did you tell him?¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes in his heart, patting him and sighing. ¡°This is my ssmate, he''s called Wei Sihan, and his name is very simr to mine right? Oh, and because of that, he always treats the things I have said as what happened to him, look at his clothes¡­ In fact, I think his mind is a bit problematic.¡±


    The rest of the words of Wei Sihan wanted to say became useless. He wanted to refute it, but he did not know how to refute it. He did not want to appear suspicious, and he was so anxious that he was pale.


    ¡°Now that you say this¡­ why is he dressed so like you?¡± Xing Guan frowned, couldn¡¯t help but pull him away from Wei Sihan. ¡°Why did the school let this kind of person in?¡± Don¡¯t be too kind to him, this kind of person is very dangerous, don¡¯t mix with himter.¡±


    ¡°I just see him pitiful..¡±


    ¡°This kind of person is delusional. If he really is pitiful, you should send him to the hospital.¡±


    There are ssmates gathering around watching, Wei Sihan''s face is red, and this story is totally different from what he envisioned! He did not expect Si Han and Xing Guan to respond like this after hearing their own words! No! He can¡¯t continue to let them go on! Otherwise, thebel of being delusional would be attached to himself, so how can he still face the other students? !


    ¡°Xiao Guan!¡± He did not rush forward this time, but took a step back, his expression changing and he looked like he was struggling. ¡°No, why do I know you¡­ I am Wei Sihan, no. My name is Si Han, my mother, it''s so dark¡­"


    He slowly covered his head, and his tears mmed down. ¡°Xiao Guan, why do you think these kidnappers wanted to kidnap us¡­ Yes, our basketball, where is the basketball¡­¡±


    In the past few years, Xing Guan thought about the details of the kidnapping case every time. The original Qin Bao was confused, but now these details are actually spoken from the mouth of a stranger. Xing Guan''s expression became serious and he looked at Ye Zhizhou. "Xiao Han, did you remember these details? Did you tell them to this stranger?"


    Not waiting for Ye Zhizhou to answer, Wei Si, who was holding his head, suddenly rushed over with a look of excitement, and seized the clothes of Ye Zhizhou. He was sad and asked. ¡°I am Si Han, who are you? You are a counterfeit! Why did you want to pretend to me? What purpose do you have! No, who am I¡­ I am Si Han, it is Si Han¡­ It''s so dark, Xiao Guan, let''s quickly run¡­" finishing saying this, his hand loosened and then fainted .


    Ye Zhizhou: ¡°¡­¡± This is the protagonist of the IQ.


    Xing Guan looked at Wei Sihan on the ground, and then looked at Ye Zhizhou, his expression bing strange. The onlookers also had different expressions, pointing to the three men, and several even began to ¡°inadvertently¡± spread the information about the life experience of Wei Sihan, including always fainting and no memory before the age of five.


    Even hired actors to help. Ye Zhizhou nced at the crowd around him, then looked at the tight-fitting Xing Guan, who was nervous, and sighed. ¡°You also heard, he always faint, as for you. Those who heard it¡­ forget it, you carry him on me ande with me.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The Wei Sihan on the ground moved his fingers, and doubted what he wanted to do. Xing Guan did not say anything, picked up the person and then experienced the ¡°sleeptalk¡± of the B city dialect version of Wei Shihan.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at his changing expression from the corner of his eye, wanted tough, and was helpless.


    You ignorant person¡­The lord school doctor will teach you to be a decent human being.

 Chapter 58

    TL: Mina


    Editor: Yuika


    Today, it was Lu Chen, who was on duty again. When he saw Ye Zhizhouing in, he still had the impression. He raised his eyes and asked, ¡°Is your tinnitus not improving? Have you listened to my advice, to drink less coffee and eat more vitamins?¡±


    ¡°Not tinnitus.¡± Ye Zhizhou stepped aside exposing Xing Guan behind him and Wei Sihan on his back, and raised his hand to help set Wei Sihan down. ¡°Doctor, my ssmate fainted again today, and started to talk about some childhood things I''ve mentioned like it was his. He even grabbed my friend and said a lot of things. This time he must have really fainted right, not fake fainting? His eyes even rolled back. Right Xing Guan?¡±


    The ''fainted'' Wei Sihan stiffened his body the second after hearing Lu Chen''s voice, and his heart was overwhelmed.


    Xing Guan was confused by the familiar tone of Ye Zhizhou and the school doctor. He cooperated with Ye Zhizhou to set Wei Sihan down on the bed. His face was full of confusion. ¡°What the hell is going on? What do you mean fake fainting?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou patted his shoulder and pulled him to the side, giving way to Lu Chen, whose face was all ck.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    As usual, he measured the body temperature, then he opened his eyelids and looked at it. He listened to his heartbeat. The upright school doctor lord then sneered, and squinted at his chest. ¡°Well, Wei Sihan, are you addicted to fake fainting? You''re disrupting the order of the infirmary. I report this school will give you a disbelief?¡±


    [The chances of Lu Chen and the protagonist¡¯s love have dropped to 40%. Please continue your efforts host. ]


    ¡°Is it he really pretending to faint?¡± Xing Guan¡¯s expression was stiff and stupid. Ye Zhizhou patted himfortingly and then continued to add fire. ¡°He ¡®fainted''st time when he was in military training. It was also when I brought him back¡­just then he was still on your back, ¡®sleep talking'', right? The same was truest time, I was afraid that he would be embarrassed so I did not say anything."


    Xing Guan¡¯s expression distorted.


    [The chance of Xing Guan and the protagonist¡¯s love has dropped to 90%. Please continue your efforts host. ]


    Of course, he must continue the persistent efforts! Ye Zhizhou turned to look at Lu Chen, and looked worried. ¡°Doctor, is my ssmate really just fake fainting? But unlikest time when he was only ''sleep talking'', this time it was straightforward, pulling my ssmate speaking nonsense, and his face was quite pale. Doctor, does he have an illness or is he delusional?¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Sickness?¡± Lu Chen turned over the records and wrote a note. The curve of this corner of his mouth was very ridiculous. ¡°Delusional? Him?¡±

    ¡°This brain-dead person, no medicine can treat him! Don¡¯t worry about it, just leave him here, I will call 120 and have people bring him to the hospital, and the emergency treatment fee can be paid by him!¡±

    Ye Zhizhou wanted tough again, but no, he has to hold back. Taking out his mobile phone from his pocket, he frowned and looked anxious. ¡°He really was very sick and needs to call an ambnce. I''ll call them right now. Doctor, you worked hard.¡±


    Lu Chen''s expression of a cold g was slightly slowed down. He nced at him and said, "You are a good student, just too fast to believe in others! Didn''t I remind youst time? Some people''s heart are just bent. Ny-eight degrees bent. Don''t know what to do everyday but to y others. This kind of person, even if they got into this good school, they still won''t be able to get a good job"

    Wei Sihan was so rushed in this way, his heart was angry, his breathing was somewhat unstable, and his hands were not consciously clenched.


    ¡°That¡­¡± Xing Guan happened to see, slyly holding Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand, whispered, ¡°Don¡¯t dial 120, I just saw him move. You, ssmate, pretending to be a sick as a joke is not funny, stop pretending, Xiaohan is still worried about you, and you arepletely ruining his heart.¡±


    [The chance of Xing Guan and the protagonist¡¯s love has dropped to 70%. Please continue your efforts host. ]


    Wei Sihan¡¯s hands loosened, but continued to lie still.


    Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t help but rub his face. Si Youqian was so insidious. How did he teach the illegitimate child to be this stupid, he couldn''t bear to watch it.


    Lu Chen didn¡¯t even sneer, and saw Ye Zhizhou put down his mobile phone and didn¡¯t dial 120. He got up and went to the desk. He picked up thendline and started dialing. After a while, he said, ¡°Hey, hello, this B City University''s medical office, I have this habitually fainting student that I can¡¯t figure out what''s wrong with him. Send a car to take him away. Yes, habitual fainting, please remember to give him a full body check, pick the most expensive test¡± After finishing the call, he started to call the Academic Affairs Office. ¡°Hey, this is the infirmary. I need a 201x-level student¡¯s parent phone. Theputer department, called Wei Sihan, OK, go on, I''ll write it down¡±


    Actually going to inform the parents? ! The fainted Si Han worried, and pretend to "wake up" and then directly flung himself onto Xing Guan, fearfully shrinking against him, and said with a pitiful trembling voice , ¡°Xing Guan, Where is this? Why am I here¡­ my parents?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou, who was staring at Lu Chen''s phone, was speechless, and Xing Guan twisted his face and directly pushed Wei Sihan from his body. His face was constipated. "This ssmate, the doctor did not actually dial¡­ Since you are awake, Just leave by yourself. Don¡¯t y like this in the future, it is very offensive.¡±


    [The chance of Xing Guan and the protagonist¡¯s love has dropped to 50%. Please continue your efforts host. ]


    ¡°You''re finally awake?¡± Lu Chen put down the phone, smiled and looked at Wei Shihan. ¡°Is the bed in the infirmary room particrly soft? Is the smell of disinfectant water particrly good? Wei Sihan, I think you actually tested into the wrong university, the film school is next door, if you want to transfer please do.¡±


    Wei Shi''s face was red, and he endured but then he actually said, "Who are you? How can a faculty and staff member actually talk to students so much, not afraid of being reported?"


    ¡°You want to report me?¡± Lu Chen smirked. ¡°Wee to report me, can you see my badge? Come, look closer.¡±

    [The chances of Lu Chen and the protagonist¡¯s love have dropped to 10%. Please continue your efforts host. ]


    Ye Zhizhou pulled Xing Guan back and moved away from the battle circle.With the IQ of the protagonist, he feels that he doesn¡¯t have to do anything. Lu Chen¡¯s chance of falling in love can be finished by himself. So in the original plot, how did Lu Chen look at the protagonist¡­ was it because he was bullied, so his sense of responsibility bursted?


    ¡°You, how are you still a teacher!¡± Wei Sihan was both embarrassed and angered in his heart, seeing Xing Guan and Ye Zhizhou ¡°consciously¡± retreat to the corner of the infirmary, he was kind of relieved but was also very embarrassed, but was also curious if the two was reminded of anything by his earlier performance. He was so anxious that he became silent. He looked at Xing Guan anxiously with a pitiful face.


    Xing Guan shook, moving sideways to avoid his sight, and quietly asked, ¡°Xiao Han, how is this ssmate of yours so strange.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou''s fake sighed, "Probably the condition of a small family is not very good. When he was in high school, he lost his mother¡­ He said that his father is a middle school teacher. That his father was busy all the time, couldn''te home very often. His brother is older than him by a few years old, busy studying and earning living expenses, and no time to take care of him¡­ Probably it''s because he''s been along for too long, and there''s something wrong him now, it''s sad."


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Wei Sihan''s face filled with anger and blushed. ¡°The fake should be quiet and shut up!¡±


    ¡°You should shut up!¡± Xing Guan nced at him sideways, his face full of anger, his fists clenched.


    Wei Sihan was scared by his fear and shrunk backwards.


    Lu Chen, standing on one side, suddenly stepped forward to grab his cor, and turned his body to face himself. The sneer on his face was severely reced, his eyes slowly swept over his clothes, his eyes became colder. ¡°Your father and brother are working so hard for you, you''re rewarding them like this? In college, you pretend to faint and y your ssmates and teachers? Insulting the ssmate that''s worried for you? And the clothes you''re wearing, family conditions are not good, huh?¡± After saying this, he loosened his cor, rubbing his hands, and toozy to look at him anymore, went to the table and began to flip through the case notes. ¡°I will inform your parent and the school about what happened today, prepare for the punishment. This is not a yground, everyone get out.¡±

    Ye Zhizhou was busy pulling Xing Guan out, and he sighed a little. He was right! In all the male leads, except for Wei Songning, only Lu Chen had the worst economic condition. His experience is simr to that of Wei Sihan. His mother also died in high school, and his father supported the whole family. However, Lu Chen''s father has been in poor health, so his life was particrly difficult. Although he has tried his best to support him, his father died after Lu Chen''s admission to B University. He learned that B University had exempted him from paying tuition and provided him with schrships and part-time jobs on campus. So he was very grateful to the school and returned to his alma mater afterpleting his studies and internships, to be an ordinary school doctor.


    Ye Zhizhou slightly sighed, he now understands a little bit about why Lu Chen had feelings for the protagonist in the original plot, probably because of simr experiences?


    In the original plot, Lu Chenter tried topete with the other male leads, and left the alma mater, and went out to be a very sessful doctor. He opened a hospital and became the dean¡­ He didn''t know if Lu Chen was actually happy when he did those things. He just hopes that he can always do what he wants to do, and can live a happy life.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    When Wei Han went out of the school¡¯s infirmary, he ran away, probably panicked about his father being called. Xing Guan watched him run away, his expression was like he was swallowing flies. ¡°Xiao Han, really doesn¡¯t matter? It¡¯s better to solve this problem of someone who always takes your memories as his own.¡±


    ¡°Not needed for the time being.¡± Ye Zhizhou shook his head and refused. He looked at his watch and pulled him toward the south gate. ¡°You came at the right time, I have something to tell you.¡± The Si family problems will get out sooner orter, and who knows where Xing Guan might hear it from, better to tell him the truth now.


    Qin Mo was waiting until he felt little worried, and couldn¡¯t help but get off the car to go look for him.


    ¡°Brother!¡± Ye Zhizhou pulled Xing Guan and ran close, waving and yelling hello, ¡°Can you take us to a ce? I''m in a hurry!¡±


    Qin Mo looked at his face flushed with red, his mouth twitched, and his eyes showed a smile. When he got up and raised his hand to help him smooth his hair, ¡°What did you just call me?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou felt a little embarrassed, ufortable avoiding his sight and pulling Xing Guan to his front. ¡°This is Xing Guan, a good brother who grew up with me. I want to take him to a ce.¡±


    Xing Guanzheng was confused and rmed by the intimate atmosphere of the two people. Seeing his friend introduce him, he quickly squeezed himself in front of Ye Zhizhou, with a serious expression on his face, looked at Qin Mo, and reached out to him, ¡°Hello, I am Xiao Han''s good friend, who might you be¡­¡±


    ¡°Qin Mo.¡± Qin Mo reached out and gripped his hand. His eyes swept over Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand on Xing Guan¡¯s arm. His eyes moved and added, ¡°Xiao Bao¡¯s family.¡±


    Xiao Bao¡¯s family? Who is Xiao Bao? Xing Guan is somewhat confused.


    ¡°Well, this is not the ce to talk.¡± Ye Zhizhou pulled back Xing Guan and looked at Qin Mo. Although he was embarrassed, he still insisted on the previous title. ¡°Brother, can you take us to a ce? It''ll be very quick."


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Qin Mo nced at his hand holding Xing Guan, pulling open the door ¡°Go in.¡± Once Ye Zhizhou got on the back of the car, he stopped Xing Guan, pointing to the front. ¡°You take the front seat¡± Then he went to the back seat and closed the door.


    Xing Guan raised his brows, and slowly clenched his fist. Is it an illusion? Why does he feel that this foreigner who does not know where it came from is somewhat hostile to himself?


    Ye Zhizhou took Xing Guan to the countryside ce where the kidnappers back then used to hide them.


    ¡°Xing Guan.¡± He stopped in front of the winding road in the mountains, and extended his hand to the Xing Guan whose face was filled with doubts. ¡°I''ll introduce myself, my name is Qin Bao, my parents are S city people, and when I was five years old, I was picked up by Si Youqian. Taken into the family, then renamed Si Han. Now, I will take you to find the real Si Han.¡±


    Xing Guan looked at him with a shocked look and unconsciously took a step back. ¡°Xiaohan, what are you talking about, I don¡¯t understand¡­¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°You suspected it before.¡± He took back his hand and pointed to his face. ¡°Although the looks are simr, the words and habits are somewhat the same, but the voice, the ent, the habits, and the preferences¡­ are all not the same, aren¡¯t they? Including the lost memory before the age of five.¡±


    Xing Guan seems to have been reminded by his words, breathing gradually thicker.


    ¡°I am not Si Han, my mother is Zhong Ke, she is Zhong Min¡¯s sister. After the real Si Han disappeared, Si Youqian brought me back from the orphanage of S city, brainwashed me by making me watch the videos left by the real Si Han, mimicked his words and habits, and then set me in front of everyone with the identity of Si Han.¡± Ye Zhizhou moved sideways, revealing the road up the mountain, ¡°The real Si Han may still be on this mountain, will you go up to him?¡±


    Xing Guan''s expression changed, then he looked at him for a long time, and rushed to the mountain without looking back.


    ¡°Are you sure that the real Si Han is still on the mountain?¡± Qin Mo looked at Xing Guan¡¯s fast disappearing back in the distance, and his tone was unpredictable.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Not sure.¡± He retracted his gaze and stepped up to the mountain. ¡°But I think that he is here.¡± This spection is giving Si Han a death sentence, but he looked through the original plot so many times, he regretfully has to check if, the real Si Han may have died as early as the kidnapping case.


    During ss, he re-examined the plot again. It is already certain that the kidnapping case was caused by Si Youqian and Fang Shuhe. At that time, this barren hill was the key search target of the police. Due to the pressure of the Xing family, they searched extremely carefully If the real Si Han was hidden by Fang Shuhe and Si Youqian, then they basically did not have the opportunity to take someone away from this ce under the eyes of the police. Later, the police withdrew most of the police force. Fang Shuhe had the opportunity to move people away. But at that time, most likely Si Han''s life has been lost already. Moving the body anywhere else would increase the risk of exposure. With that secretary¡¯s caution and Si Youqian''s callousness, It is more likely that Si Han will be in the mountains. After all, after the police force is withdrawn, the most dangerous ce is the safest ce.


    Various spections in his brain flew, he poked Tongtian, and then spread his mental power quickly, trying to cover most of the barren hills.


    Qin Mo, who was behind him, suddenly raised his hand and touched his forehead. Then he looked at his eyes in confusion and then looked at Ye Zhizhou in front of him. He couldn''t help but reach out and touch him, but he quickly pulled back. Frowning and holding his forehead, took out a painkiller from his pocket and swallowed it.


    One inch and one inch, the gentle spirit is slowly propelled in the barren hills, and the light of the sky is entangled in countless spots of light on the spiritual power, floating in the forest. This kind of scene is very beautiful, but unfortunately only Ye Zhizhou can see it.


    The mental power that was on Xing Guan shows that the other party has quickly rushed to the position where the kidnappers had kept them in the past. He rxed his mind and concentrated his energy on finding people.


    Searching from evening tote night, Xing Guan also calmed down from the crazy impulse, and returned to Ye Zhizhou with, his head was low, his expression was not clear in the dark. Ye Zhizhou, who was slowly advancing, suddenly stopped and looked back at Xing Guan. His eyes shed a little bit of regret.


    Although he has already guessed the result, he still couldn''t help but feel sad when he found the body. Xing Guan probably realized what he was looking at, and looked up at him. His breathing became very messy. ¡°No, don¡¯t look at me like that. You didn¡¯t look properly at all. You are lying to me.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Ye Zhizhou sighed and retracted his gaze and pushing aside the grass and walked to a big tree. He found a stone with a sharp corner and squatted down to start digging.


    ¡°What are you doing! Just randomly picking a ce and you''ll find him? You are not allowed to dig!¡±


    Qin Mo pulled Xing Guan, who wanted to rush towards Ye Zhizhou, took out his phone and called to the assistant in the car.


    This was a ce where the barren hills are rtively close. There is arge fruit forest nearby that is owned by someone. A little more further away is also a ce where workers are building roads. It seems that some people have bought thend and were building a resort here.


    An hourter, the assistant brought a few shovel, and Xing Guan, who was calmed down by Qin Mo, immediately grabbed one and went to dig.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Ye Zhizhou stopped him, throwing the stone away and starting to dig with his hands.


    Xing Guan''s brain, which has just calmed down, began to fill with blood and fever. "Why are you stopping me! What do you mean!"


    At this time, the pit had been dug a depth of one meter, bypassing the root of the tree, and almost half of the body of Ye Zhizhou was in the pit. After dumping the soil, he paused and slowly got up and looked at the red eyed Xing Guan, ¡°When he and you were separated, was he wearing an orange hooded t-shirt?¡±


    Xing Guan paused, his eyes full of anger,, regardless of Qin Mo¡¯s block and pushed forward, after seeing the bottom of the pit, his body became stiff and copsed on the ground, ¡°Xiaohan¡­ How can you be here, How can you I¡­¡± He buried his head and cried like a child.


    Ye Zhizhou got up and finally took a look at the small skeleton that was dug up from the deeper bottom of the tree roots. He took out his mobile phone and found out the number of Si Yue. He dialed.

 Chapter 59

    Editor: Yuika


    Si Yue came very quickly, and he was followed by Wei Zhuang, whose eye bags were as big as a panda¡¯s.


    The temperature in the mountains at night was low, and the wind is still blowing. The mosquitoes are clinging around a few people and were annoying people, but right now no one cared about them. Qin Mo''s assistant sent a few shlights to light up the bottom of the pit.


    ¡°My god¡­¡± Wei Zhuang raised his hand and rubbed his hair, and turned sideways to see his good friend. ¡°Si Yue, you¡­¡±


    Si Yue slowly squatted down to the ground, and he touched the small figure next to the roots of the tree, clenched his fists and turned his head.


    Xing Guan was not crying anymore, and he sat listlessly in the side of the pit. His eyes were looking at the bottom of the pit and were red, his expression and lips were tight, and his face was pale under the light of the shlight.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°The kidnapping case that year definitely had a problem.¡± Ye Zhizhou broke the silence and looked at Si Yue who was kneeling at the side of the pit. ¡°Do you want to call the police?¡± Once this situation is reported, it will definitely rm Si Youqian and Fang Shuhe, but if not reported¡­ ¡­


    ¡°Report it.¡± Si Yue¡¯s voice was very tight, and it was also a little hoarse, ¡°But not now, mother¡¯s body is very frail¡±


    In this regard, Ye Zhizhou has also considered this, and there is a deeper level. If reported and the police can¡¯t get any evidence against Si Youqian and the hidden Fang Shuhe, then they will miss this opportunity. It is very likely that there will be a hard battle to fight.


    Converging these thoughts, he went one step further and continued. ¡°There is still one more thing¡­ I know Wei¡­ I know who the mother of the illegitimate child is. The secretary of Si Youqian, Fang Shuhe, do you have information on her?¡±


    Wei Zhuang squinted, ¡°Is it really her?!


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Si Yue stood up and turned to look at them. ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    Xing Guan suddenly looked up and asked, his voice hoarse,¡±Illegitimate child? What illegitimate child?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou first answered the question of Xing Guan. ¡°The one who was saying some weird things to you today is the illegitimate child of Si Youqian. He wants to pretend to be the real Si Han and squeeze me away. Today he appeared in front of you, so that you would doubt my identity first, and then believe that he is the real Si Han, and have you help him deal with me.¡±


    ¡°Dream on!¡± Xing Guan mmed his fist on the ground and his teeth clenched. ¡°Nobody can take away Xiao Han''s identity! No one! I want to kill him!¡±


    ¡°You calm down!¡± Si Yue stretched out his leg and kicked him. ¡°I want to protect Xiao Han¡¯s identity too. I want to get revenge for Xiao Han too! It¡¯s useless to yell!¡±


    Xing Guan''s body shook, and then raised his hand to hit his head. "It''s awful and hateful! I shouldn''t have let Xiao Han leave me that year! I hate it!"

    [The chance of Xing Guan falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 0%. The second g has been removed. Congrattions to the host. Please continue your efforts host.]


    Wei Zhuang took out a tablet from the backpack and quickly tapped a few thing, and then handed it to the front of Si Yue. ¡°Right before I got here, I had found some weird details about Si Youqian and Fang Shuhe. This is the record of the rooms when they were on business trips. In some cases, there are two rooms, but asionally there''s only one. Then there is Fang Shuhe''s family status. Both her parents are dead, but she had a younger brother who was twenty years younger than her. He was named Fang Si, and died when he was five from a sickness. I found a photo of this brother from a report on a gathering in the vige, and thenpared the registration photo left by the illegitimate child when he was adopted by Wei Jianguo¡­ You can see it yourself.¡±


    The photos from the report are obviously not taken by professional photographers, the pixels are very vague, or ck and white. There is a little boy in the corner marked with a red circle. It is a side face, the facial features are somewhat blurred, but the outline is the same as the registration photo. The eight-year-old Wei Sihan has eight or nine points simr. As long as you aren''t blind, after seeing these two photos, no one will not suspect that the two children are not the same.


    The more Si Yue looked at the photo, the colder his eyes became.


    Ye Zhizhou sighed in his heart, took out the photo of Fang Shuhe, which was restored by the system, and put it on the tablet. ¡°This is a photo after Fang Shuhe¡¯s bangs, sses and the sallowness on her face were erased¡­ Do you need to do a paternity test? I can find a way to get the illegitimate child''s hair.¡±


    ¡°No need.¡± Si Yue handed the tablet and photos to Wei Zhuang, took a deep breath, tried to keep calm and said, ¡°It is her. I have been investigating the identity of the mistress these past years. I once suspected her, but she disguised herself too well¡­ Wei Zhuang, is there a way to temporarily suppress the news that Xiao Han has been found, so that my dad doesn''t know?"


    Wei Zhuang heard this and grabbed his hair in distress. ¡°This is a bit difficult¡­ my contacts are mostly abroad, I haven''t transferred them yet¡­¡±


    Qin Mo, who has been silent for a while, suddenly stepped forward and said, ¡°I have a way.¡± Then he took out his mobile phone and made a phone call. After a few conversations in English, he hung up and looked at everyone. ¡°The child¡¯s body will be temporarily stored in the funeral parlour, the reason is that they can¡¯t find the age of the skeleton to confirm the identity. In the police registration, the name will be marked unknown and the age will be older. After you have handled everything, you can decide to officially open the case and let the forensic doctor re-confirm the time of death and change the previous error back.¡±


    Wei Zhuang was stunned, ¡°¡­smart idea.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou is also stunned. ¡°Is a bit powerful.¡±


    Si Yue took a deep look at Qin Mo, and did not oppose this decision. Xing Guan was still a little confused, his mouth has been muttering something, and his eyes are bloodshot.


    The group waited until the police came over and took the body to investigate and left the scene. Xing Guan''s mental state was very bad. He was violently stunned and carried away by the Si Yue. Wei Zhuang was deeply involved in the investigation. In the returning car, he kept burying his head on the tablet and tapping on it. After arriving at the office, he did not even take his bag and just got off the car.


    Ye Zhizhou closed his tired eyes, leaned back, and took out an Anshen pill. Today, the search in the mountain took a few hours, and his spiritual strength was slightly overused.


    ¡°Xiao Bao, you know more than that, right?¡±


    His forehead was touched by warm fingers. He opened his eyes and looked at Qin Mo. His brain was a bit slow after his spiritual strength was overused, and asked, ¡°What?¡±


    Qin Mo blinked, his face was a little unclear, and his tone was still mild. ¡°Mother and father''s death is rted to Si Youqian, right? Xiao Bao, tell me, don¡¯t be alone.¡±


    He groaned, and his mind shed through the original plot. Qin Mo''s mad revenge against Si Youqian and the male leads after learning the truth, he sighed in his heart, hesitated, and nodded, "Just before¡­I, I had a dream. My parents were taking me out of a supermarket, and then suddenly, a big truck came out from the corner of the street¡­ Dad pushed the stroller I was sitting on. Later, I saw Si Youqian¡¯s face on the ss window of the supermarket¡­¡±


    ¡°Xiao Bao.¡± Qin Mo interrupted his words, and he took him into his arms and touched his hair. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I will protect you, don¡¯t be afraid.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Ye Zhizhou was somewhat ufortable, broke out of his arms and rubbed his face. ¡°It is not very scary¡­ this will definitely be paid back. In fact, today I still have some things to ask Si Yue carefully, but the situation did not allow me¡­when their mood has stabilized in a few days, I want to talk to them again.¡±


    Qin Mo nced at the arm has been pushed aside, and slowly took it back. He tightened his fist slightly. ¡°En, I will apany you.¡±


    The next day, Ye Zhizhou received a phone call from Si Youqian, saying that he should return back home next weekend. He wanted to celebrate his birthday again, to make up for missing itst time. He also specifically mentioned that Zhong Min wanted to make it more fun, so that he should ask several students toe too. It is best to invite all his roommates toe and build their rtionship, so the next four years would be easier.


    After hanging up the phone, Ye Zhizhou flipped through the calendar and raised his eyebrows. This weekend, because of the holiday on the eleventh, he will take sses on Saturday and Sunday, and then start the holiday on Monday afternoon, until Sunday. Si Youqian, is this shortening the time in the resort, and time with Zhong Min? Also, ¡°It is best to bring all the roommates toe over.¡± What do you want, to shock Zhong Min so much that she ends up in the hospital?


    Sneering and deleting the call record, he nced at the Wei Sihan walking behind hm for the third time, deliberately turned his head and asked, ¡°Wei Sihan, do you have a urinary problem? This is your third time going to the toilet, how about I take you to the school doctor¡¯s office to see?¡±


    Wei Shi''s footsteps were stiff, and then pretending that something was on his hand, he said, "What, Xiao Si, you are really joking. I just got ink on my hands when I was writing, I couldn''t wash it off¡­¡­ and, I just heard it''s your birthday when you were on the phone. Is your birthdaying soon? Do you want to go out and have a good meal together?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou turned his chair to face him, smiled and shook his head. ¡°You probably got it wrong, and it''s not nice to just listen to a roommate''s call. I have to go out to do something, you wash your hands slowly, I am leaving.¡±


    The bedroom door closed, the smile on the face of Wei Sihan disappeared, and he resentfully nced at the table of Ye Zhizhou, and his heart was a little annoyed. Did this counterfeit figure out something, why has he been acting stupid?


    Just after walking out of the school door, he received a call from Si Yue about his make up birthday party. The cousins ??were separated by phone, both silent and then sneered. Now towards Si Youqian, Si Yue''s heart ispletely cold, and there is no respect in his tone like before.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Let¡¯s find a chance to pick up my mother, and the three of us can go have a meal together.¡± Si Yue said after being silent for a while.


    Ye Zhizhou agreed, raised his hand and called a taxi, and then continued, ¡°In fact, I have something to ask¡­ forget it, wait until we meet, I can''t exin clearly on the phone.¡±


    The taxi stopped in front of Wanxiong Law Firm. After Ye Zhizhou paid the money, he got off the car and looked up at the office''s very shiny signboard. He stepped in and smiled at the front desk. "I had a car ident and I want to consult about thepensation. I heard that you have awyer named Wei Songning. I am his schoolmate and would like to hear his opinion.¡± Now that the good drama is about to start, the g of the future barrister should also be pulled out.


    Ending the exchange with Wei Songning and agreeing on a ce and time to meet again. He walked out of Wanxiong, nced at the bank card and sighed. In order to entice the eager to return home Wei Songning to stay in B City on the 11th, he had to pay a lot¡­ This student is very poor and his heart is bleeding.


    On the 11th, Si Youqian went out really early, and Ye Zhizhou and Si Yue looked at each other and went down to Zhong Min.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°How did the both of you brothers get up so early? You should sleepte during the holidays.¡± Zhong Min smiled and greeted him. She first helped Si Yue neaten his neckline and then touched the head of Ye Zhizhou. She said, ¡°Although your father needs to attend to the customer and can¡¯t celebrate with us, it¡¯s okay, because mother made a delicious meal for you, and prepared gifts for you! Are you happy?¡±


    Si Yue''s facial lines softened, and held Zhong Min''s hand. "Mom, let''s go out and eat today."


    ¡°Why do you want to go out and eat?¡± Zhong Min holded his hand and smiled and pinched it. ¡°I even made soup. Look at your hands, they''re so thin, you should eat more.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked at her eyes full of happy concern, and he felt sad for her as he took her arm and led her to the door. ¡°It''ll be the same soup when wee back. Let''s go, let''s go on a date today! We''lle back and eatter!¡±


    Si Yue also put a hand on Zhong Min''s back and helped Ye Zhizhou take her outside. "Xiao Han is right, we are going on a date today."


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Zhong Min was tossed by these two people. She raised her hand and patted one, then patted the other. Her face was full of joy. ¡°What date, you two stop fooling around! This good soup will be greasy after being on the fire for so long. It won''t be good to drink."


    The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding and continued to take her out.


    Although they made up their mind to tell Zhong Min the truth today, before that, they must make Zhong Min happy as much as they can.


    They visited an exhibition in the morning, ate Japanese food at noon, and went to a newly opened botanical garden in the afternoon. Finally, at dinner time, the two brought Zhong Min to a five-star hotel, booked a room, and apanied her to eat well.


    After dinner, Zhong Min was somewhat distressed about the money spent for the meal, and her brow was slightly wrinkled. ¡°It''s not easy for you to make money. You don''t have to treat me to such expensive food.. Your dad, too, I said to let him put some of thepany stock in your name. As a result, he kept putting it of, I don''t know what he is thinking."


    ¡°Mom.¡± Si Yue moved the tea cup in front of her a little bit and gently held her hand. His voice was as gentle as possible. ¡°I have something to tell you.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°What is it?¡± Zhong Min naturally held his hand, her brows still wrinkled. ¡°Is there any difficulty in the newly establishedpany? Don¡¯t be afraid, you have mother.¡±


    Si Yue couldn¡¯t help but tighten the palm of his hand, his face turned to the side, as if he didn¡¯t know how to open the conversation.


    Ye Zhizhou sighed and took out a folder from his backpack and pushed it to Zhong Min. ¡°Mom¡­ No, Auntie, the family members you have been looking for¡­ In fact, there was already news.¡±


    The smile on Zhong Min''s face went stiff, and she looked down at the folder that was pushed to her. She loosened Si Yue''s hand and picked up the folder. She quickly looked over the information in the folder and her face gradually turned pale, her eyes were full of disbelief, ¡°Xiao Ke is already¡­ dead?¡±


    ¡°Mom.¡± Si Yue moved closer andfortably patted her back.


    ¡°That, then she¡­¡± Zhong Min lowered her head and read the information again. She looked anxiously at Ye Zhizhou. She stretched her hand and pulled at him. She didn¡¯t consciously drop her tears. ¡°Where was she buried? And her child. Where is her child?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou leaned over and held her hand, and he couldn''t bear it. ¡°Auntie¡­"


    Zhong Min shook, as if she had heard something terrible, slowly retracted her hand and covered her ear. ¡°You, what are you calling me?¡±


    Si Yue hugged her gently from the side, and his voice was almost inaudible. ¡°Mom, Xiao Han has been found¡­ just under a tree on the edge of a barren hill.¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡± Zhong Min closed her eyes and pushed him hard. Her tears continued to flow down. ¡°What are you talking about, Xiao Han obviously is next to to you, he''s saying some weird things, why are you also saying weird things.. You brothers are trying to scare me to death, please don¡¯t scare me¡­ Xiao Han obviously has been found, obviously has been found¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou raised his hand to cover his eyes, and his heart was full of oppressive sadness.

 Chapter 60

    Trantor: Mina


    Editor: Yuika and Yufie


    About a quarter of an hourter, Zhong Min''s breakdown finally eased little by little. Her crying became weaker, leaving only her sobs, but she stayed in Si Yue''s arms, not willing to lift up her head.


    Ye Zhizhou gently released soothing waves of spiritual energy tofort her little by little. Thinking over it for a while, he said, ¡°Auntie, what do you want to know? I will tell you.¡±


    ¡°No, not auntie.¡± Zhong Min finally lifted her head from Siyue¡¯s arms. Her red eyes looked like it would be filled with more tears at any moment. Her hand stretched out to pull on Ye Zhizhou¡¯s sleeve. ¡°You are my child, you are not allowed to call me auntie. I am your mother.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡± Ye Zhizhou looked at Si Yue, and when he got his nod, he changed his way of calling her again. He held onto Zhong Min''s hand that was pulling on his sleeve and wrapped his voice in a calming energy as he said, ¡°Mom, would you like to know about what happened to my parents? I¡¯ll tell you little by little.¡±


    Probably because the calming spiritual energy began to take effect, Zhong Min gradually calmed down. She sat away from Si Yue and cleaned the tear streaks from her face, wiping away the traces of sadness. She took the information on the table and turned the pages over. She assumed her usual gentle and tender temperament, and addressed him seriously. ¡°You talk, I''ll listen.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou got up and poured her another cup of tea, putting in an Anshen Pill on the sly, sorted out his train of thoughts, and recounted bit by bit. He told her everything without concealing anything, from the beginning when he found out about his real identity, to the end when they found Si Han''s body in the barren mountain. Whenever there was a gap in his ount, Si Yue would make a timely addition, and also adding in tellings of Si Youqian''s misconduct in their family''spany.


    ¡°It¡¯s ridiculous.¡± The teacup in her hand was already empty. What she was told were all obviously very unbelievable and shocking, but, Zhong Min actually felt that she was even calmer than before, and even had a numb feeling of ¡°So it was like this.¡±


    ¡°My marriage really is a big joke."


    The reassuring happiness she lived in for so many years turned out to be all fake. She med herself for being too stupid, repeatedly burdening her children, even letting them harm Xiao Han¡­ She put down the teacup, blinked away her tears and raised a hand to stroke Ye Zhizhou''s cheeks. Her tone conveyed her guilt and sorrow. ¡°Xiao Bao is the name that my little sister gave you, right? It''s a name someone as silly as her woulde up with¡­. Xiao Bao, Mom is very sorry to you, please don¡¯t me mom¡­ "


    ¡°Mom, what are you talking about? I have never med you.¡± Ye Zhizhou tilted his head and he make small circles on her hand gently., He thought of the original plot, where Qin Bao was more important than anything else to his mother Zhong Min, and his heart felt worse and worse. Once they got such a gentle mother like her, who would even be able to leave her side?


    "You are a good child.¡± Zhong Min forced herself to smile and looked at Si Yue. "Xiao Yue, this time it was hard on you¡­ Where is Xiao Han now, I want to see him."


    Si Yue clenched his fist for a moment and nodded. ¡°Okay, I''ll take you there tomorrow.¡±


    No one slept well that night. Ye Zhizhou sneaked out of his room in the middle of the night. He went to Zhong Min''s room door and used his spiritual strength to help appease her mood all night. The other person woke up several times and cried quietly for a long time. The more he listened , the more he wanted to hack Si Youqian into pieces.


    The next day, Zhong Min got up early and deliberately dressed up. Her long-shoulder length hair was let down. Her elegant long skirt was reced with a retro and beautiful mid-skirt. Her lipstick was carefully put on. Her appearance looked like she came from the older era. The slightest expression on her face was as beautiful as a painting.


    ¡°Does it look good?¡± She was a little shy and pulled on her skirt''s hems. Although she tried her best to smile, it was difficult to hide her pallidness. ¡°I was wearing this on the day of Xiao Han''s disappearance¡­ I said that I would take him to the amusement park. But, something came up¡­¡±


    ¡°It looks really good!¡± Ye Zhizhou hurriedlye up and pulled her along, not letting her continue to recall, deliberately pretending to be happy, ¡°Mom, you look good no matter what you wear!! Let¡¯s go, Big Brother already took out the car and is waiting outside.¡±


    On the way to the funeral home, the three people were very silent. Zhong Min nervously clutched her bag and looked very upset. When she arrived at the destination to see the gate of the funeral parlour, her face turned pale again, and Ye Zhizhou immediately wrap her gently with his spiritual energy, continuously calming her down.


    Si Han¡¯s clothing has been filed as evidence, so when he was pulled out, he was only covered by ayer of white cloth. Zhong Min hands trembled the whole time as she reached out, but she couldn¡¯t even manage to hold the corner of the white cover. It was Si Yue who eventually walked forward and pulled up the cloth.


    The body had beenpletely rotted and only a skeleton was left. There was nothing to look at, but she kept her eyes on it for a long time, wiping her tears again and again. As if what was covered by the white cloth and what she was looking at was not a lifeless skeleton, but her sleeping son. Ten minutester, Si Yue took her away from the funeral parlour. Ye Zhizhou poked Tong Tian and thenter handed the two photos to Zhong Min after getting on the car. ¡°Mom, I can do a little human bone imaging. These were made using the images left by Si Han Ge. This is what he would have looked like as a teenager and adult. He looked very simr to you.¡±


    Si Yue nced at him from the rearview mirror with probing eyes. First finding the bones of Xiao Han in the vast barren mountain, and now making these simtion photos, and the restored photos of Fang Shuhe in her original appearance¡­ There''s really too many functions assumed by this little brother.


    Feeling his look, Ye Zhizhou raised his eyes and looked at him in the rearview mirror and smiled. He knows that he has revealed a lot of ws, but what is he afraid of? Si Yue is a smart person, and he naturally understands what should be asked and what should not be asked.


    The young person in one of the photos had a beaming smile, simr to Zhong Min in seven or eight points, and he had such a gentle gaze. The young man in the second photo is more than ten years older. He has be a gentle and elegant handsome adult. He also smiles, and the joyful emotion in his eyes make others smile without noticing.


    ¡°Xiao Han would look like this when he grows up. He was always such a happy child¡­¡± Zhong Min stroke the photos lovingly, she smiled but it looked pained. ¡°If he was still alive, he would probably look like the second photo when I would die.¡±


    She looked at Ye Zhizhou, with a hint of gratitude and regret in her eyes. ¡°Xiao Bao, thank you¡­you should call me auntie, I shouldn¡¯t snatch the position of your mother from Xiao Ke.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Ye Zhizhou tactfully nodded.


    After finishing lunch, Zhong Min took the brothers to the bank.


    ¡°They say ''humans would die for wealth while birds would die for food<sup>[1]</sup>¡®, but I didn¡¯t expect Si Youqian to be that crazy .¡± Opening the safe, she took out several paper bags and a box and handed them to two people respectively. ¡°The document bag is filled with shareholding contracts. There is another key for the safe in the box. The safe contains a few pieces of antiques, some gems, and jadeites, they''re dowries that my mother left for me and Xiao Ke.¡±


    Si Yue looked over the file and his face was full of shock. ¡°Mom, these¡­¡±


    ¡°It''s all things your grandfather bought.¡± Zhong Min sighed and raised her hand and touched the box. ¡°That year, we lost Xiao Ke during the upheaval. After searching for her multiple times, the clues pointed to overseas. Your grandfather''s English wasn''t very good, but he was determined to brave through any hardships. He went out of country and wandered around to look for her. Years past and he didn''t manage to find her, but he got a lot of things he collected over time.¡±


    Because his main purpose of going abroad was to find someone, Zhong Min''s father didn''t think about doing business after getting money. He bought a lot of shares from otherpanies, and relied on those every year to find his daughter.


    ¡°He just wanted to make a little money to use to find Xiao Ke¡­¡± Zhong Min smiled at the thought but quickly changed her expression. ¡°For more than 20 years, your grandfather bought dozens of shares from the stocks of foreignpanies. Somepanies went bankrupt, some developed better and better, and finally, they became what you see today¡­ Later, the clues were broken, and he heard the news that Xiao Ke had actually returned back to the country. Your grandfather hurriedly brought these back to the country¡­ In addition to the shares in the file bag, there are some older stamps,memorative coins, collection of original paintings, some famous paintings he got by chance, as well as a patent."


    ¡°Your grandfather bought this patent from a student who was in dire straits. The student was very sick at the time. He wanted to go back to his hometown but had no way of doing that. Your grandfather felt that he was pitiful, so he helped pay for his medical bills and helped him go back home. Before the student left, he wanted to repay him, but because he was too poor at the time he could only sell his patent to your grandfather. Your grandfather knew that the student wanted him to ept the patent no matter what, but he has not used it ever since. He wanted to wait for the student toe back so he could return the patent one day.¡±


    Si Yue and Ye Zhizhou had no idea what to say. Their grandfather had only wanted to earn some money to find his daughter, but he became a rich man. He coincidentally helped a student and got an incredibly valuable drug patent¡­ Is this the reincarnation of the god of wealth?


    ¡°As long as you are holding this patent, those people outside who are still using this drug¡­¡± Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t imagine what would happen if the patent was used, it was too terrible.


    ¡°This is also the reason why your father doesn''t dare to touch that patent lightly. It is too valuable, and it concerns the lives of too many people.¡± Zhong Min touched the yellowed paper, and her voice slowly grew quieter. "What he wanted was probably this¡­¡­ My father left us a will: that all of his belongings, except for some deposit funds and real estates, were to be left with his grandson or granddaughter. If Xiao Ke and I did not have any children, these things would have been donated to help other people.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou''s hand that was holding the box trembled. No wonder Si Youqian wanted to kill Zhong Ke and her husband and even carefully arranged for his illegitimate son to rece Si Han¡­ Such arge fortune has been hidden from the sight of others for decades. Si Youqian''s heart had probably long grew twisted because of it.


    ¡°When I married him, it was because I admired none other than his hard- working personality¡­¡± Zhong Min opened the box in her hand, took out the key of the safe inside, carefully touched it, and her tone gradually became colder. ¡°I obviously have given him money to let him build his own business, and now our family''spany has developed very well¡­ but he''s like a snake trying to swallow an elephant<sup>[2]</sup>! Xiao Ke''s death, Xiao Han''s death, and those years of him lying and hiding things from me, he must repay every bit of it!¡±


    On the third day of the holiday, Ye Zhizhou went to the appointed ce to meet Wei Songning, and then brought him to Qin Mo''s car.


    Wei Songning looked at Qin Mo and looked at Ye Zhizhou, frowning. ¡°Mr. Si, where are we going?¡±


    "Lushui Resort." Ye Zhizhou took away the car identpensation data and set a different set of data in his hand. He spoke in a serious manner, "I am sorry to have deceived you before. This is the paternity test result of Wei Sihan and my uncle, Si Youqian, and the private messages they have made over the past few years. As a victim who had been deceived, I think you have the right to know the truth.¡±


    Wei Songning was a little confused by the bomb Ye Zhihou just dropped. As he continued to read the information, his expression became more and more unsightly. ¡°So he always had always known who his biological parents were? He wasn''t busy part-timing during this holiday, but went to y at a resort with his parents?¡±


    ¡°Yes, look at this again.¡± Ye Zhizhou handed over Wei Sihan''s disciplinary action letter and a few photos of his everyday life


    In the photo, Wei Sihan''s clothes looked very expensive. Wei Songning quickly opened the other photos and then flipped to see the disciplinary action letter and Si Youqian''s signature on it. He slowly clenched his fist and gnashed his teeth. "White-eyed wolf<sup>[3]</sup>, and a liar! In order to provide for two students, father had to work so hard he almost had no time to rest. But this guy, this guy he¡¯s¡­ a monster!


    [The probability of Wei Songning falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the screen, then looked at the scary look on Wei Songning''s face, and cheered in his heart. Sure enough, we only needed to find the right spot to hit. Wei Songning only needed to learn about the protagonist''s deceit for his g to drop!


    After driving into the resort, the car stopped directly in front of the vi under the Si Yue''s name. Ye Zhizhou took Wei Songning in. He first greeted Zhong Min, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window drinking tea, and then went to the sofa, where Wei Zhuang wasying on. He patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Did you do what I asked you to do? Got any results?¡±


    ¡°You brat! I''m a detective, not a paparazzi!¡± Wei Zhuang immediately turned over and sat up, wanting to use a pillow to hit him. ¡°Why am I following after some stinky man on a perfectly good holiday, and why am I stealing and sneaking in his room? I am obviously a highly respected detective!¡±


    Qin Mo stepped forward to take the pillow from his hand and gazed at him coldly.


    ¡°You, you think I''m afraid of you, huh.¡± Wei Zhuang instantly wilted, and dragged theputer on the coffee table over. He then clicked on it, first showing them a few photos, then pointed to several recording files and video files. ¡°I have edited all the useful ones. You can see it for yourself. I''m going back to sleep.¡± And he quickly ran to the other side of the room.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at him with an amused smile, moving aside to let Wei Songning through. Wei Songning sat down on the sofa without hesitation and picked up the headphones plugged into theputer. After confirming that this side was done, Ye Zhizhou quickly walked a few steps to hold Wei Zhuang, injecting spiritual energy into his voice and smiling. ¡°Xiao Zhuangzhuang, can you imagine if one day you and the illegitimate child met, and he was moved by your looks, while you were deeply touched by his resilient and positive attitude? You both quickly fall in love, and then do this and that..¡±


    ¡°Stop!<sup>[4]</sup>¡± Wei Zhuang''s face looked like the end of the world hade, screaming, ¡°No! I don¡¯t want to have such a lover!¡±


    [The probability of Wei Zhuang falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    He retracted his hand with satisfaction and smiled evilly. He was confused before, when even after Wei Zhuang found out that the protagonist did so many bad things, his love chance did not fall. So it was actually because heck outside stimtion ah¡­


    That night Wei Zhuang had a nightmare, and the scene in the dream was very simr to what Ye Zhizhou described, and he was scared awake. When he woke up, the sky was dark, as if he was the only one left in the whole world.


    The door was pushed open, the light from the corridor poured in, making the shadow of the man standing at the door very long.


    ¡°Aaaaah, a ghost, aah!¡±


    Si Yue turned on the light with a dark look on his face, looking at him with eyes full of disdain. ¡°What are you doing? Get up and eat, everyone is waiting for you. Also, Wei Sihan has made another movement, after breakfast it''s time to start to work."


    Wei Zhuang''s nerves that had just rxed were tightened and smashed directly. "I hate Wei Sihan! I don''t want to stare at him! His face vites my eyes!"


    Si Yue''s brow twitched, and he directly left with a bang of the door.


    [The probability of Wei Zhuang falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 20%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou had a good appetite and ate an extra poached egg! Today, the speed of the g dropping is so moving, and his calctions were urate. Now the only person whose chance of love with the protagonist is 100% is He Jing! Wei Songning''s points fell below the safe threshold after watching the video and listening to the recording!


    But this He Jing¡­ He blinked and poked the system information. A 37 year old widowed single father, the conductor of the famous orchestra, he had a slightly autistic seven-year-old daughter¡­ He Jing''s brain is so smart, his emotional intelligence should be high, and he had two reasons to love him in the original plot. The first reason is that Wei Sihan had a temperament simr to his dead wife''s, and the second is that his daughter¡¯s autism improved after spending time with Wei Sihan. This person was the moderator that allowed the male leads to tolerate each other in harmony¡­


    Pulling the g of such a person would take more than a conspiracy. He has to think of a way to get back. His daughter would be a good breakthrough point¡­ He had an idea in his heart, and he slowly withdrew his thoughts and took a sip of the juice that was held in front of him.


    ¡°Tasty?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    Qin Mo chuckled and wiped the traces of the juice left near his mouth. His eyes were pampered. ¡°Then I will go make another ss for you.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou reacted sharply, suddenly he was a little ufortable. He turned away from the other man, ¡°No, I am not thirsty anymore. I am going to check the surveince. Brother, you should rest early.¡± Then he ran off


    The smile on Qin Mo¡¯s face gradually faded, and his head began to faintly ache. He raised his hand and held it, squinting his eyes to cover his emotions. Why, why is Xiao Bao not willing to be close to him¡­ This is not right, Xiao Bao is clearly his, he''s his alone¡­


    Zhong Min, who was preparing the fruit, turned her head and looked at him, a slight frown forming on her face.


    Was she being too sensitive? But the way this Qin Mo looks at Xiao Bao¡­


    Something happened on Wei Sihan''s side. After he said good night to Si Youqian and Fang Shuhe, returned to his room, changed his clothes and ran out to the bar at the resort to pick up men.


    They were stunned!


    Surprisingly, the supposed "inexperienced pure bunny" protagonist actually frequent bars! Look at him naturally ordering the alcohol, his wild eyes when he danced, and his ambiguous intimate gestures when flirting with a strapping man¡­ Ye Zhizhou covered his eyes and marked a big X on the system data! He had wondered how a pure white rabbit protagonist can get five male leads to fill his harem!


    ¡°Oh, they''re using tongue, my eyes!¡± The megaphone transmission the mournful words from Wei Zhuang, who was stalking Wei Sihan .


    [The probability of Wei Zhuang falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congrattions to the host for removing the third g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Wei Songning got up from the sofa with clenched fists, and his face angered. Si Yue stopped him, and he pressed him back onto the sofa. ¡°Calm down, I didn''t call you over to let you startle the snake<sup>[5]</sup>.¡±


    ¡°Damn him!¡± He took a deep breath and sat down in anger.


    [The probability of Wei Songning falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. congrattions to the host for removing the fourth g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    ¡­ The speed of the gs dropping is picking up.


    The room was silent as Zhong Min came out with the fruit te. She smiled, ¡°Don''t look at things that could hurt your eyes;e and eat some fruit. After that everyone should wash up and sleep. This weekend, we¡¯ll celebrate Xiao Bao''s birthday. Everyone must remember toe!¡± She looked over to Ye Zhizhou. ¡°I know that your real birthday is in December, and when ites we will properly celebrate it again for you. But this time¡­ let''s use it to set Xiao Han to rest."


    Ye Zhizhou nodded and covered theputer screen with Wei Sihan¡¯s face on it.


    On the fifth day of the holiday, Fang Shuhe, who had dressed fashionably for a few days, resumed her usual old-fashioned style while Si Youqian left the holiday resort in a staggered time. Wei Sihan stayed for a few more days before returning to school and then called Wei Songning. Of course, his phone call couldn¡¯t get through. Ye Zhizhou took advantage of this time to enter the dormitory. He handed over an invitation card to Wei Sihan for the birthday party. ¡°My dad absolutely wants to make up for my birthday party when hees back after dealing with some customers. He wants me to invite some students toe home and celebrate, do you want toe?¡±


    Wei Sihan, was stunned and then surprised. He had thought that the n to expose the truth at the birthday party had been ruined. He didn''t expect dad to be so skillful, he unexpectedly made it happen!


    ¡°Of course I¡¯ll go!¡± He took the invitation card, and then stepped forward to pat Ye Zhizhou¡¯s shoulder. ¡°How can I miss your birthday? Don¡¯t worry, I will prepare an unforgettable gift for you!¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Ye Zhizhou also patted his shoulders and smiled meaningfully. ¡°Then I''ll have to look forward to it.¡±

 Chapter 61

    On the day of the birthday party, Si Youqian was very diligent, running around to help arrange the hall, and also helping to prepare the birthday cake. He was acting like a loving father who was perfectly happy to be busy for his son. Zhong Min still talked to him about the children as usual, but she never looked him in the eyes again. Every time he happened toe over, she would turn away or excuse herself to do something else. Si Youqian did not find anything wrong about her behavior, he continued to busy himself happily.


    Si Yue looked away from the newspaper he was reading, set it down, and patted Ye Zhizhou, who was next to him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Ye Zhizhou did not even lift his head from his phone. He was eating a popsicle, so his speech was a bit muffled. ¡°It¡¯s still early, only nine o¡¯clock, and I told Wei Sihan toe at ten.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Si Yue nced at his mobile phone screen and saw that he was actually ying Gluttonous Snakes<sup>[1]</sup>. He couldn¡¯t help but be speechless. He simply didn¡¯t bother him anymore. He got up and greeted Xing Guan who had just walked in.


    After having more than a week to calm down, Xing Guan''s mental condition has be much better, but his mood is still somewhat noticeable. When he saw Si Yue, his face became gloomy.


    ¡°Control yourself.¡± Si Yue turned sideways to block the sight of Si Youqian, brought him to the sofa and threw him a tablet. ¡°y by yourself, and if you don¡¯t know what to y, you can ask Xiao Bao.¡±


    Xing Guan now knows who Xiao Bao refers to, and became less depressed and gloomy. Looking at Ye Zhizhou next to him, he was slightly awkward and ufortable. Ye Zhizhou just passed thest level of the game he was ying, looked up, saw him sitting next to him, and excitedly patted his shoulder. ¡°Perfect timing, let''s go online to y that racing game together. I can''t pass a certain round."


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The earlier mood was suddenly dispelled by his easy attitude. Xing Guan rxed his tight body, showing a smile on his face, and nodded, ¡°En, I¡¯ll definitely help you pass that round.¡± No matter who the other person is, their memories of growing up together from childhood are not fake, and they can still be good friends in the future.


    When Zhong Min came out to give them fruits, she saw the two boys squeezing in front of the TV to y the game. She couldn''t help smiling. She was just preparing to go tease them when Si Youqian came over, and there was nothing good said the moment he opened his mouth. "Look at Xiao Han like this, he only knows how to y all day, and I don''t know when he''ll be more obedient.¡±


    ¡°I think he is fine like this.¡± The smile on Zhong Min¡¯s face faded, she turned to go get the tissue box on the cab. ¡°The sons I raised all have good character, and they never do anything against their conscience. I am very d that they are like me.¡±


    Si Youqian looked at her baffled. ¡°What happened to you today? You have been cold and distant, are you tired? But when you said that they are like you, I disagree. Xiao Yue obviously is more like me, but Xiao Han somehow grew up like that. Not like you or me. I almost suspect that I found the wrong child that year¡­¡±


    Zhong Min mmed the tissue box in her hand and turned to look at him coldly. ¡°Si Youqian! Do you think that, I, Zhong Min will be stupid enough to recognize a bastard who is not rted to me as my son?¡±


    The two words of bastard son<sup>[2]</sup> directly poked the nerves of Si Yougan. His face sank and he yelled. ¡°What are you talking about!? How can you say that about your son!¡±


    ¡°I clearly was talking about the bastard son<sup>[2]</sup>!" Zhong Min retorted. She quickly forced herself to calm down, sorted out her hair, and restored her usual gentle and kind look. ¡°Our child''s birthday party should be a happy asion, so don''t make a fuss. Go and set the table, I will go greet the guests.¡±


    Si Youqian, who was rarely treated by the other party with thismanding tone, frowned slightly, and his anger increasing. ¡°What guests do you need to greet? Didn''t we just invite some of Xiao Han''s ssmates and roommates today?¡±


    ¡°Of course it¡¯s a very important guest.¡± Zhong Min no longer looked at him, directly walked towards the front door.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Si Youqian watched her leave, his heart full of anger. He swore, ¡°What a bad temper!¡±


    Zhong Min opened the door and Fang Shuhe stood there with a gift, the smile on her face thin and polite.


    Zhong Min carefully looked at her sallow skin color and old-fashioned sses, and smiled with enthusiasm. ¡°Shuhe is always on time,e in quickly. I liked the mask you brought mest time. You are so considerate.¡±


    ¡°As long as Madam likes it.¡± Fang Shuhe kept her voice professional and politely entered the house.


    Si Youqian came out of the kitchen with some dishes and his brow wrinkled when he saw Fang Shuhe. The two''s eyes briefly met each other, then they looked away, pretending to have just seen each other. They greeted each other politely. There seemed to be nothing wrong with their behavior.


    But the other people in the room who were quietly watching them act, inwardly their eyes nearly rolled up into the sky. Ye Zhizhou was afraid that Zhong Min''s emotions would get out of control. He had been using his spiritual power to surround her to keep her calm. But it seems that she was very calm and focused, and her breathing was not affected at all.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    This camouged emotion is¡­ did her heart ckened?


    At ten o¡¯clock, Wei Sihan finally appeared. He held a basketball in his hand, his hat was backwards, and he wore an orange hooded t-shirt. The smile on his face was sincere and sunny. ¡°There was a traffic jam on the road, so I camete. I''m not thest one toe right?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou quickly suppressed the emotions of Xing Guan that had started to stir up again. He smiled and weed him. ¡°No, there''s still some people who haven¡¯t arrived yet. You arrived right on time, my mother just made some juice.¡±


    ¡°Then I got lucky, I like to drink juice.¡± Wei Sihan wiped the sweat on his forehead, then smiled and said hello to everyone in the room, looking very polite and well-behaved.


    During his greetings, Si Yue acted indifferent, Xing Guan did not even turn around, and waspletely focused on madly pressing his game controller. Fang Shuhe looked as if she was meeting a stranger and only nodded as a response. Si Youqian had a nk absent minded look, as if Wei Sihan''s appearance had made him remember something.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    How did the father and son act the same when putting on a show? Ye Zhizhou had to resist the urge to vomit, and arranged Wei Sihan to sit down next to Fang Shuhe. ¡°You sit first, I''m going to help my mother bring out the juice, and I wille backter.¡±


    Wei Sihan nodded quickly, but his heart was racing, and he could not help looking at Si Youqian who was sitting across from him. Si Youqian frowned and avoided his sight, and then nced at Fang Shuhe. Fang Shuhe understood and quietly pinched the thigh of Wei Sihan to get him to restrain himself. She was inwardly very satisfied with how Ye Zhizhou had arranged their seats.


    In the kitchen, Zhong Min was putting the juice into cups and cing it on the tray. When Ye Zhizhou came in, she asks, "Is everyone here?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Zhizhou stepped forward to help her pick up the tray, hesitated for a moment, and said, ¡°Auntie, you should be mentally prepared, the illegitimate child ¡­he''s dressed like Xiao Han.¡±


    Zhong Min paused in the middle of picking up the straws. She took a deep breath then smiled at him. ¡°It¡¯s ok, today¡­ no one will be let off.¡±


    In the living room, Si Youqian and Fang Shuhe pretended to chat about official business. Wei Sihan acted as a ssmate and stranger. Fom time to time, he answered Si Youqian''s questions. Xing Guan finally let go of the game controller, and sat next to Si Yue with his arms crossed. The two''s face are cold like they''re facing King Yama, but the picture they make is a bit beautiful..


    Ye Zhizhou smirked and looked away from them. He followed Zhong Min as they went to the sofa where Wei Sihan was sitting. When they walked close enough to see Wei Sihan''s face, Zhong Min stopped. Her hands lost their grip on the tray, and the snacks and cups of juices fell into the ground with a tter.


    Si Youqian stopped talking, and Fang Shuhe''s body became tense and then she tilted her head to see what had happened. Wei Sihan quickly put a look of concern on his face and asked, "Auntie are you ok? Did you hurt your hand?¡±


    Zhong Min suddenly spoke. ¡°Xiao Han¡­¡±


    Si Youqian¡¯s expression shook, Fang Shuhe¡¯s breathing became softer, and Wei Sihan¡¯s eyes flickered with joy, and his face showed a trace of doubt at the right time. ¡°How do you know that my name is Xiao Han, did Xiao Si tell you? Coincidentally, my name is almost the same as Xiao Si''s. When we were in the dorms, it took a long time to decide what to call the both of us.¡±


    Si Youqian interjected at a timely moment, and he anxiously asked. ¡°Your name is Xiao Han? How do you write that Han? What is your full name?¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°It¡¯s written with the Han from frigid, and my full name is Wei Sihan, but Wei surname was added after i was adopted. It''s my foster father¡¯s surname, and my registration information in the orphanage is Si Han.¡±


    ¡°Orphanage? You are an orphan? How did you go to an orphanage, and how old were you when you were adopted?¡±


    ¡°Because I don¡¯t have memories before the age of five, I don¡¯t really remember how I went to the orphanage..but I was adopted twice. The first time was when I was five years old, and the second time was when I was seven, almost eight.¡±


    The two echoed one another asking and replying all on their own and Si Youqian''s expression became more and more excited, and his breathing became quicker. He stood up and walked forward like he wanted to take a closer look at Wei Sihan''s appearance. But he looked back at Zhong Min and stopped, excitedly speaking, ¡°Xiao Min, Xiao Han, is our little¡­¡±


    ¡°What are you two getting so excited over?¡± Zhong Min coldly interrupted him, picking up a ss of juice from the tray that Ye Zhizhou was holding. ¡°I was talking to Xiao Han to hand me the juice. This ssmate, did your teacher never teach you that when you go to someone else''s house, you do not just answer anything they ask?"


    The expressions of Si Youqian and Wei Sihan fell.


    ¡°And also¡­¡± Zhong Min stepped forward and handed the juice to Fang Shuhe. Fang Shuhe felt that something was wrong, but she did not dare to show it. She quickly reached for the juice, but did not expect Zhong Min''s hand to move away. She was puzzled and then was sshed with juice.


    ¡°Your teachers never taught you that, did your mother never teach you that either?¡± Putting the juice cup back on the tray, Zhong Min picked up another cup, and turned towards Fang Shuhe while smiling and said. ¡°Sorry, my hand slipped.¡±


    Fang Shuhe''s question was held back in her throat. There was some suspicion in her eyes. She couldn¡¯t tell whether her previous sentence was unintentional, or if she know something and had said it on purpose.


    ¡°Ah, auntie, you¡­¡± Wei Sihan was scared by the murderous glint in Zhong Min¡¯s eyes, and he unconsciously moved towards Fang Shuhe.


    Si Youqian finally returned to himself and was angered, ¡°Zhong Min! How are you treat guests! How can you pour juice on your guests!¡±


    The response that Zhong Min gave him was a cup of juice over his head and a resounding p.


    ¡°Si Youqian, back then, I was able to use money to make you the boss that you are today. Now, I can make you leave this house without a penny and then sit in prison! I advise you not to mess around!¡±


    Si Youqian was shocked by her outburst, and after he was knocked out of his shock, he was furious. ¡°What do you mean?!¡±


    ¡°It means that I want to divorce you!¡± Zhong Min did not fear his anger, and she waved her hand slightly toward the already standing up Si Yue. ¡°Xiao Yue, restrain him.¡±


    He listened to her words, and pressed him down onto the sofa while holding down his hands.


    ¡°What are you doing? I am your father!¡±


    Si Yue looked at him with a cold face, and shook his head. ¡°No, you stopped being my father from the day you killed Xiao Han..¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Si Youqian¡¯s reprimand was quickly stopped, and his eyes widened. He unthinkingly looked at Fang Shuhe, but he saw that the other side¡¯s eyes was also full of disbelief, and he couldn''t help the sinking feeling in his heart.


    Zhong Min came forward and turned his head to face her. She raised his hand and gently helped him to remove a fruit stain on his face. Her voice was soft. ¡°Youqian, you want money, I can understand that, but why did you need to harm my Xiao Han? He was only five years old, and he also had your blood in his body. Was his body still warm when you buried him in the depths of the tree pit? Was his eyes wide open, silently calling dad?¡±


    Si Youqian couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and trying to hold her like usual. ¡°Xiao Min, did your illness rpse gain? Don¡¯t be afraid, I will apany you for treatment. Xiao Yue, quickly let me go, your mother is ill and needs to go to the hospital.¡±


    p!


    With a loud sound, Si Youqian''s head was whipped to the side by a p.


    ¡°This p is for Xiao Han.¡± Zhong Min shook her hand, and then backhanded him again. ¡°This p is for Xiao Ke.¡± Then pped him again, ¡°This is for Xiao Bao who was used by you.¡±


    While Si Youqian was pped silly, Fang Shuhe couldn¡¯t help but want to go forward, but was then directly pressed back down by Ye Zhizhou''s spiritual power. As for Wei Sihan, who had been stunned, he has been cornered by Xing Guan at the sofa. He was so scared he didn''t even dare to fart.


    p! p!


    After the two loud ps, Zhong Min''s hand was red and swollen, and her hand was slightly trembling. "Those were the two left, one for Xiao Bao''s father, and one for myself! Si Youqian, I, Zhong Min, was blind to have chosen you back then, and now I can only me myself for being blind, but Xiao Bao and his parents were innocent! Xiao Han was innocent! You caused the deaths of my family, so I want your family to never rest!¡±


    Si Youqian¡¯s face was swollen and red, and he was probably mad. He took a few breaths and then finally said, ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you are talking about! Xiao Yue, you let go of me! I am your father! Let go of me!¡±


    Zhong Min did not want to look at this man who still denied the truth, and turned to face Fang Shuhe, who was panicked.


    ¡°I, I am not¡­¡±


    ¡°Not what?¡± Zhong Min reached out and wiped her face, and then rubbed the cosmetics on her fingers onto her clothes. ¡°You aren''t the mistress? Didn¡¯t you n the kidnapping of that year? You didn¡¯t kill my son, you didn''t intend to use your illegitimate child to impersonate him?¡±


    Fang Shuhe tightened her hand, and wanted to make a sharp rebuttal, but she felt a sharp pain in her brain the moment she tried to say anything and didn¡¯t dare to speak.


    ¡°And you.¡± Zhong Min got up and looked at Wei Sihan in the corner of the sofa. She looked up and down and sneered. ¡°I have always liked children very much, but you are so¡­ Unfortunately for your adoptive father, if he knew that you are such a white-eyed wolf, I don''t know how sad he would be.¡±


    She observed them one by one, picked up the remote control on the coffee table, and slowly spoke. ¡°The police should be on the way. Until they arrive, I''ll give you some wonderful things to watch.¡± She looked at Si Yue and others. ¡°After you tie them up, go upstairs, so it doesn¡¯t dirty your eyes.¡±


    Probably guessing what she wants to put on, Ye Zhizhou and Si Yue quickly got up, first tying up the screaming Si Youqian, and then tying up Fang Shuhe''s hands. They walked over and dragged the innocent Xing Guan aside, tied up Wei Sihan, and took Xing Guan upstairs.


    The shading device that should have been used while they were blowing the candles was now being used. The room got dark. Zhong Min pushed the cake out, put in five candles, then sat next to the cake and opened the projector.


    The happy birthday song was sung in a lively tone. After the song, the picture turned sharply and turned into a light-filled bar, and a familiar figure appeared in the picture.


    Wei Si¡¯s face turned pale and his heart panicked. Isn¡¯t, isn¡¯t this the day he went to pick up men¡­


    Zhong Min put down the remote control, picked up the stic knife used to cut the cake, and waved it. ¡°This was after you left the resort. I asked someone to film this for your good son, it was really amazing. Later there will be some footage from a few days earlier. Don¡¯t worry, I won''t let you guys miss a second of this.¡±


    Si Youqian and Fang Shuhe looked at each other, and their emotions were slightly suppressed by doubts. They didn''t understand what she was trying to do.


    The video quickly changed from drinking to *, and then to an scene of male and male rubbing intimately against each other


    Si Youqian was shocked at first, and then filled with anger and embarrassment. He yelled at Wei Sihan. ¡°So you like men?! Little bastard! You are actually willing to be topped by other men!¡±


    Wei Sihan was shaken by him and couldn¡¯t help but turn to Fang Shuhe, but she looked away, her face pale and full of disgust.


    ¡°I forgot to tell you.¡± Blowing out the candle, Zhong Min began to cut the cake. ¡°The man who was with your son was specially picked up by me. That guy seemed to have some problems. Make sure to take your son to the hospital after today.¡±


    ¡°No, impossible!¡± Wei Sihan screamed and shook his head. ¡°I, I made sure to have him wear a condom!¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The screen on the projector changed again and became the hotel room. Because it was a sneak shot, the picture was always fixed at the same angle, but it did not hinder the viewing.


    The sound of sex echoed in the living room, Wei Sihan thought of a possibility, and his voice couldn''t help but shake. ¡°Could it be¡­¡± for some STDs, by mouth ¡­ could also be contagious.


    Zhong Min turned the video volume down and picked up a piece of cake. ¡°Quiet down, can¡¯t let Xiao Yue and them hear these bad words, they are all good kids.¡±


    ¡°You bitch!¡± Si Youqian haspletely lost his senses and struggled wildly. ¡°What you''re doing is illegal and against thew! I am going to send you to prison!¡±


    ¡°Sure, I''ll be waiting.¡± Zhong Min put the sweet cake directly on his face, and her expression looked a bit eerie under the dim projector light. ¡°But before that, I will make you go to hell! This is the five-year-old birthday cake that Xiao Han wasn''t able to eat, so you eat it well as his father!¡±


    Si Youqian''s gaze was covered by the cream on the cake, and he began to shake his head madly, then yelled with fury.


    ¡°And, Xiao Yue has already applied for a change of surname. After all this, his surname will be Zhong, not Si.¡± She turned and walked to Fang Shuhe, and she lowered her voice. ¡°I heard that there is a way to make someone have the same nightmare for a lifetime. Xiao Han is so cute, how about letting you dream about him forever?¡±


    Her brain felt a sharp and stabbing pain, and it felt as if she was the little child that died that year. She shook and couldn''t help but scream.


    The picture on the projector was still going on. Wei Sihan, who waspletely infected by his parents, suddenly cried. ¡°No! I''m not Wei Sihan, I am Si Han, I am the real little master of the Si family! The others are fakes! Fakes!¡±


    Zhong Min nced at him coldly, picked up the remote control and turned off the projector. She fixed her messy hair and clothes, and walked toward the second floor.


    The police arrived at lunch time, with Wei Zhuang.


    Si Youqian, who had been cleaned up, rushed to the police and angered and condemned Zhong Min''s imprisonment and abuse. The police looked him and frowned. "You look fine all over, and your face is more rosy than mine. How do you look like you''ve abused?¡±


    Si Youqian tensed up and felt his face. ¡°Police, look at my face, it''s been beaten up by that crazy woman! She is mentally ill, and my hands were tied up¡­¡± stretching out his hand, he found the skin is normal and with no traces of injury. His words broke, and he was busy reaching out to touch his face. He did not feel the redness and swelling, and the pain was all gone.


    Ye Zhizhou smiled, the Jin Chuang<sup>[3]</sup> pill the system produced is very effective, the red and swollen wrists, how could they let these things appear in front of the police.


    ¡°No, they obviously tied me up for a long time, I¡­¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Si Youqian.¡± The police interrupted his words impatiently, twisting his hands and handcuffed him. ¡°You have been suspected of a kidnapping and two murders. Come with me.¡± The sound of the handcuffs clicking announced that he is no longer free.


    Fang Shuhe was so scared that she wanted to hide, but she was also shackled.


    The police came quickly and left quickly. Si Yue and Zhong Min apanied the police. Wei Zhuang was left behind. He looked around the messy living room, and then disgustedly swept his eyes on the sofa. ¡°Da Bao, what about this guy? Why didn¡¯t the police take him away?¡±


    ¡°Because he didn''t get the chance tomit the crimes.¡± Ye Zhizhou shrugged and shouted at the second floor. ¡°Wei Songning, don¡¯t stay upstairs,e out! We''ll hand this person over to you, didn''t you say you wanted to have him repay your father?¡±


    Wei Sihan heard the familiar name and finally recovered from his chaotic emotions. He looked upstairs incredulously and then stupidly asked, ¡°B-brother? Why are you here? I, they were bullying me, I¡¯m not, I ¡­¡­¡¯


    ¡°Don¡¯t call me brother.¡± Wei Songning interrupted his words with a cold face. He went straight to him and grabbed his cor and dragged him up. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to call me brother, nor do you deserve to to be father¡¯s son. He taught you how to be a good person<sup>[4]</sup> for more than ten years, but it couldn¡¯t resist the inferior genes in your bones, you can not be saved!¡±


    ¡°No, brother, brother, don¡¯t do this, I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Wei Shihan grabbed his hand and his tears fell. ¡°It¡¯s all them, I didn¡¯t, brother, you have to believe me¡­¡±


    ¡°Still lying and defending yourself.¡± Wei Songning threw him away and wiped his hands. ¡°It seems that I don¡¯t have to take you to repay Father. From today on, my Wei family does not have a person like you!¡±


    Wei Sihan was thrown to the ground. After hearing that sentence, thest trace of blood on his face disappeared.

 Chapter 62

    Trantor: Mina


    Editor: Yuika


    Proofreader: Yufie


    Fang Shuhe didn¡¯t take long to confess after seeing the pictures of Si Han''s body. She also provided some evidence that she had secretly left behind in case she needed to ckmail Si Youqian. This development Ye Zhizhou did not expect. The kidnapping case was too far away, and the evidence was very difficult to find. He had thought that it was necessary to grind for it.


    Si Han''s case got a lead, but in the case of the car ident, Youqian refused to plead guilty. Ye Zhizhou wanted to use his spiritual strength to continue to pressure him, but he did not expect Qin Mo to suddenly appear in the police station with hiswyer. An hourter, Si Youqian pleaded guilty and the car ident case was settled.


    ¡°How did you do that? Did you find evidence?¡± The speed is so fast that it¡¯s daunting.


    Qin Mo shook his head and took him to the car parked on the side of the road. ¡°A person always has a weakness. Si Youqian is no exception. Evidence can be found, as long as you are willing to spend time on it.¡± Whenever he returned to China, he would re-investigate the car ident, but every time, he would meet a dead end in the dead car driver. Now that he knows that the person behind the scenes was Si Youqian, it wasn''t difficult to connect the line between the points.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    "Weakness?" Ye Zhizhou got on the car and frowned. ¡°He has a weakness? Is it Si Jimin? But Si Youqian is not very filial¡­¡± If he was filial, he would not allow an old man to live alone in anothermunity, one that he rarely visits¡­" Like father, like son. Si Youqian and Si Jimin were both not good people. Although Si Jinmin may not have known in the beginning, he definitely knewter on. Since this person would also do anything for the sake of money, he just watched as Si Youqian did all of this, no human decency at all.


    ¡°Si Youqian has more than one illegitimate child.¡± Qin Mo also got in the car and extended two fingers. ¡°He has a daughter and a son abroad, seven and four years old. The mother of the children is his first love. Ten years ago, the other party divorced, and Si Yougan deliberately approached her, softening the other party and sent the person abroad. The reason why his first love was divorced was because her husband suddenly became addicted to drugs, and even after going to rehab for a few times, he kept rpsing and did not quit. You can guess how her husband¡¯s drug addiction started and continued.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou has no idea what to say, and silently mumbled, ¡°Si Youqian did it..¡±


    ¡°Xiao Bao is really smart.¡± Qin Mo smiled and raised his hand to touch his hair. ¡°Thest bit of humanity left in Si Youqian was ced on his first love and her children. If I let his first love know that her ex-husband''s drug addiction was caused by Si Youqian¡­ Well, human nature is such an easy thing to exploit. If you look carefully, there will always be loopholes to drill.¡±


    Qin Mo''s touch on his head was warm and gentle, and Ye Zhizhou began to feel ufortable again. He turned his head to avoid his touch, and the mood felt awkward. This cheap brother always likes to do some very intimate actions on him. He doesn¡¯t know if other people¡¯s brothers are like this. Anyway, he is not used to it.


    Once again, he was escaping. Qin Mo''s expression grew darker, and he moved away from him. He pressed his hand against his forehead. "I need to return home for a while. Xiao Bao, you stay here and be good. I''lle back to find you very soon.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou nodded quickly to show that he understood, not daring to look him in the eyes.


    The pain eased, Qin Mo put down his hand, looked at him deeply, suddenly raised his hand and gently poked his head, ¡°Xiao Bao, you were very cute when you were a child, very clingy. You would only stick to me." He couldn''t go anywhere, he could only stay in his sight.


    Ye Zhizhou raised his hand and held his head. He didn¡¯t know how to answer to him. He could only stay silent. The original owner who had been so clingy with him when he was a child has already been reborn into a happy new life.


    Qin Mo returned overseas that night and he did not want anyone to send him off.


    After the ident, Wei Sihan did note to school for a week. When he came back, he finally changed his way of copying the original Qin Bao''s dress style, and he started to wear the artsy and gentle style he always liked. He changed his name, then moved out of the dormitory and gradually alienated himself from his ssmates.


    Wang Hu sighed at the empty bed. ¡°Aiya, I don¡¯t know if there is something wrong with Si Han. His whole person has changed and he also changed his name¡­ but you two are really interesting. You changed your name and he also changed his name. But this is good too, now I don''t have to worry about what to call the two of you anymore.¡±


    Putting away the student IDs and documents that had been changed after his name change. Ye Zhizhou smiled and got up and patted him. He also began to pack his bags. ¡°So remember not to call us by the wrong name again. His name is not Si Han anymore, call him Fan Si. And for me, you can call me Bao Ge.¡±


    "Pei, you are obviously younger than me!¡± Wang Hu scolded him with a smile, then frowned again. ¡°Wait, why are you packing your bags? Don¡¯t tell me you are going to move out too.¡±


    ¡°Not moving out.¡± Ye Zhizhou shook his head, then smiled and said, ¡°There is something going on at home, so I want to spend more time with my mother. Well, I''m leaving now. I''lle back to see you often.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Wang Hu sent him downstairs. When he came back, he looked at the empty bedroom. He couldn''t help but sigh a long sigh. ¡°These two¡­ What the hell is going on, it was just an holiday break¡­¡±


    After the name change, Wei Sihanpletely lost his financial source. The Wei family no longer cared about him, and Si Youqian and Fang Shuhe were both in prison. The money he had received before had already been squandered. Now he moved out of the dormitory and has to pay rent. After several unsessful visits to find Wei Songning. He really has no one to rely on now. He had to go to a job-seeking center that specializes in providing students with part-time jobs. He needed to earn some money for living expenses and medical expenses.


    After he skipped the recruitment information of hard and unstable job flyers and various supermarket salesman, his sight fell on the column of tutoring. Due to Wei Jianguo''s teaching, his grades have always been good, and he¡¯s good enough to be a tutor.


    The tutoring work was also divided into good and bad. It is the most tiring to tutor high school students, So he quickly skipped flyers about those. He stops on thest job posting.


    ¡°Requirement: College student, good temper, delicate, appearance above average and a pleasant voice, can easily get along with children, hourly sry of 500, fixed hours of six hours a week¡­¡± His eyes lit up. The conditions given by this person are really good, this job it is! Quickly writing down the information, he rushed to the front desk to search the information to get the other party¡¯s contact information. He was afraid that this high-paying good part-time job will fly away quickly.


    The staff entered the information he asked for into the system for a query, and then regretfully shook his head. ¡°Sorry, this part-time job has just been picked up by a psychology major girl. The other side also agreed to hire her. The two sides have already negotiated, so please go look at some others.¡±


    Wei Sihan was somewhat dissatisfied and somewhat lost. He could only go back to the information board and continue to search.


    Ye Zhizhou used the Yi Rong Dan to stand openly next to him, and when he turned and left, he pretended to identally hit him while deliberately grumbling under his breath, ¡°Why is this bar like this? They''re only hiring waiters that look good. This is discrimination against ordinary people.¡±


    Wei Sihan was hit by him and wanted to get angry. But after hearing this sentence, he paused and then looked at the mediocre appearance of the other person. He smirked and went to the information board that the other party had just read to search.


    [The probability of He Jing falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 60%. Please continue your efforts host.]


    Entering the bathroom to wash away the effect of Yi Rong dan, Ye Zhizhou blinked his eyes and rubbed his chin. Destroying the opportunity for the protagonist and He Jing to meet actually dropped the love chance by 40%. Sure enough, this g is not difficult to pull! The remaining 60%¡­ After the autism of He Jing''s daughter has improved, it should be able to slowly drop.


    In the lively bar, Wei Sihan skillfully shuffles through the crowd while serving drinks and chatting with the guests. Three streets away from the bar, in a children¡¯s yground, Ye Zhizhou was wearing a puppet suit. He walked awkwardly towards a little girl, poked her shoulders, changed his voice to be sweeter, bent down, and asked, ¡°Little child, do you like stars?¡±


    The girl looked up at him and then turned away and hid from him.


    After he saw this, he quickly used a lulling spiritual power in his voiceand continued to ask, ¡°Little child, I have stars here, do you want it?¡±


    The girl reacted and sneaked a peek at him.


    He smiled and handed over the crystal star that was filled with his spritual power. A turn of his fat costume fingers and countless light spots floated into the air from the crystal star, circling around it before slowly disappearing.


    ¡°Stars¡­¡± The girl¡¯s eyes lit up, revealing a smile.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°I''ll give it to you.¡± Putting the crystal in her hand, he patted the soft hair of the little girl, leaving a soothing spiritual power on her, then turned and left.


    With the soothing mental power, the girl felt veryfortable. She held the crystals and watched Ye Zhizhou walked away and turned her head. ¡°The person who sent the stars¡­ is he an angel?¡± But why is this angel so fat¡­ he even fell while walking¡­.


    He Jing looked around anxiously, and saw his daughter sitting on the bench on the side of the road. He sighed with relief and hurriedly took a step forward to hold her in his arms. ¡°Baby, you scared me. Don''t just leave without telling Dad next time, do you understand?¡±


    ¡°Papa.¡±


    He Jing was shocked, followed by immense joy He retreated a little and looked into her eyes, cautiously asking, ¡°Baby, what did you just call me? Are you willing to talk to Dad?¡±


    ¡°Papa.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Papa is here, Papa is here¡­¡± Putting his daughter back into his arms, he blinked the tears in his eyes away and bowed his head to his daughter¡¯s head. Ever since his wife''s death, his daughter has never been willing to talk, and now finally¡­ finally¡­


    The person holding her was too excited, the girl hesitated, raised her hand and patted his back, and then hid the crystal in her arms. Maybe¡­ she would not tell Dad¡­ Angel is the secret that belongs to her alone.


    [The probability of He Jing falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 50%. Please continue your efforts host.]


    Ye Zhizhou continue to have difficulty pulling his costume off, and his heart is broken. "Forget make persistent efforts. You first tell me how to take this off. The back is obviously has a zipper, but why can''t I open it?"


    The system seems to be embarrassed by his words, flickered, and then moved forward, slowly spat out two words.


    [Keep trying.]


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and then angrily turned off the light screen in front of him.


    Suddenly there was a pressure on his head, and he heard the sound of the zipper opening. After a slight pull, his head bound by the headgear finally returned to freedom. He breathed a sigh of relief, turned around with his hair a mess, and his face grateful. ¡°Thank you, kind person! This headgear is too annoying, it was thanks to you, I finally¡­brother? Why are you here?¡±


    Qin Mo¡¯s eyes carefully swept through Ye Zhizhou red face and chaotic hair from being stuffed in the headgear, smiling, ¡°No cancer, not a tumor.¡±


    ¡°Huh?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Bao.¡± Qin Mo steppped forward and held him up, and his attitude was very tough. His voice was soft and the way he said the words were gentle. But the words itself were not very beautiful. ¡°I will not let go. You are mine. I want to tie you up. In this life, don''t even think about hiding from me.¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The strength on the back was strong and he was still wearing the costume. He found it a bit difficult to breathe. He pushed against him hard. ¡°Brother, What¡¯s up with you? Let me go, I can¡¯t breathe.¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Qin Mo¡¯s eyes sank, and he picked him up like he was holding a child and stuffed him directly into the car parked on the side of the road. After he entered and locked the car, he clung to him. ¡°Xiao Bao, you are mine.¡±


    This familiar line and overbearing behavior, coupled with the act of locking the other up forcibly¡­¡­ Ye Zhizhou was stunned, and then shocked. ¡°Qin Mo! Have you always had headaches?¡±


    Qin Mo saw that he was no longer struggling and was satisfied. He smiled. ¡°En, but don''t worry Xiao Bao. This time I went back overseas to check the problem and there¡¯s no problem. I still have my whole life to take care of you. I won¡¯t leave you alone.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou listened to his words and became even more stupefied. "Did you go back overseas to check your head? Because you always had headaches, did you suspect that you had cancer or a tumor?"


    Qin Mo did not speak, and continued to hold him tightly. It waspletely different from aloof and reserved person who would only asionally do some intimate actions. He was overbearing and sticky, and very shameless. ¡°Xiao Bao, you are mine, you can only be mine. I knew since I saw you for the first time.¡±


    ¡°¡­so your gentle brother image was just an act? Because you thought that your brain had an illness and you suspected that you didn''t have long, and you didn''t want to hurt me?¡±


    Qin Mo directly buried his face in Ye Zhizhou''s neck.


    Ye Zhizhou was so dumbfounded that he did not question him again. He has met all the plot characters and had released his spiritual power in front of everyone, but he had never received any feedback. It''s not that he didn¡¯t worry, but he can''t just use his spiritual power to spy on other people''s brains, and he''s been holding it back. He had been worried about whether if his lover''s spiritual energy was too much and was not able to follow¡­ but it turns out his lover was right next to him acting like a big tail wolf<sup>[1]</sup>.


    He almost decided to try to use his spiritual power to scan the minds of all the plot characters after pulling out thest soul g¡­ He even suspected that thest character He Jing was his lover¡­


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me earlier that you constantly had headaches?¡± Ye Zhizhou raised his hand and rubbed his hair. Heughed distressingly and used his spiritual power to surround Qin Mo. He moved it over his head little by little. ¡°So you had a normal personality in this life.¡± So normal that he didn''t recognize it at all¡­ No, there were signs. His spiritual power hadn''t alerted him everytime Qin Mo suddenly approached him¡­ he can only me himself for being too stupid¡­ This is really¡­


    The pain in his brain gradually disappeared, and then slowly became a soothing and gentle feeling. Qin Mo did not know how to describe the sudden emotions in his heart, but he knew that his life was nowplete. Holding the person in his arms tighter he opened his eyes and smiled silently.


    This is his baby, and he only belongs to him. he can spend his whole life with his baby.

    [The probability of He Jing falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congrattions to the host, this world''s mission ispleted. Do you want to continue to the next world?]


    Selecting no, Ye Zhizhou put a bouquet in front of Si Han''s tombstone, and Qin Mo smiled to the side, ¡°Let''s go, Auntie and Yue Ge are waiting for us.¡±


    Qin Mo took his hand and nodded.


    Three yearster, Si Jimin passed away. Zhong Min sold all the things rted to the Si family and followed Ye Zhizhou and Qin Mo abroad. Si Yue also moved his career abroad and started a new life.


    After being shocked by all the things that happened with Si Youqian, Wei Zhuang decisively gave up the idea of ??returning to China and also followed them abroad, bing a free and happy little detective. After working as a school doctor for 5 more years in B University, Lu Chen decided to join an international relief organization and started to chase his dreams.

He finally had time to apany his daughter as she grew up.


    Ye Zhizhou turned off the system information, looked at his lover who was sleeping next to him, and stroke his golden hair and smiled. Ah, this is life¡­ En, the golden hair of his lover in this life feels very good to touch.


    Zhong Min came in with some juice and smiled when she saw them. Then she took a nce at Si Yue who had just entered, holding some documents.


    Si Yue''s brow raised, but decided to pretend not to see.


    ¡°I really regret not finding the correct partner.¡± Zhong Min hated iron for not bing steel<sup>[2]</sup>and then shook her head. After shaking it, she couldn¡¯t help but smile. She never thought that after getting rid of Si Youqian, her life can be so happy andfortable. If only Xiao Ke and Xiao Han were still here¡­ Getting rid of the sudden feeling of sadness, she gave the juice to Ye Zhizhou, and rubbed his hair. ¡°Xiao Bao, thank you.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was suprised, but then smiled back.


    A few decadester, Ye Zhizhou felt that his lover was very healthy and energetic, and he was relieved to sink into the darkness.


    Qin Mo kissed his face, lied to his side, and slowly closed his eyes.


    The small mirror under the pillow suddenly shook, and then the screen popped up.

    The light screen disappeared, and the mirror shattered into pieces that scattered in the air, disappearing into light spots.


    Ye Zhizhou was awakened by pain in his arm. He blinked and saw a cold handsome face and six small gs on his handsome head.


    "Slut! Don''t you love your brother the most, I¡¯ll let him to die in front of you!¡± The handsome face was twisted, and the long sword in his hand was raised, and the tip of it pointing towards Ye Zhizhou''s eye.


    What the fuck?!


    ¡°Don¡¯t hurt him!¡± A slender white blur suddenly rushed over and stopped in front of Ye Zhizhou. Then the sword viciously came down and was inserted straight into the belly of the white shadow, and blood was spilled.


    ¡°Ah¨C!¡±


    The shrill pitiful scream could shake the minds of people who heard it.


    The handsome person¡¯s face¡¯s expression became distorted, and then heughed gleefully "Ha ha ha, slut! You also have this day! Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let you die today. Haven''t you always cared about your face? Today I will ruin it!¡±


    The tip of the sword was pulled out, and the girl who fell on Ye Zhizhou''s body twitched, and then there was no movement.


    Ye Zhizhou finally reacted, quickly gathering the girl into his arms. His hand raised to cover the wound in her abdomen, and rushed to spread his spiritual power towards the approaching man while also retreating with the girl. ¡°Fuck off!¡±


    The callous handsome guy''s footsteps paused, and his expression changed. "You useless trash actually awakened your Wuhun?"<hr ss="wp-block-separator">

    Who knows what kind of thing Wu hun<sup>[1]</sup> is!


    Ye Zhizhou had his guard up against the other person while also looking around, and despaired when he found a cliff behind him! In front of him is a murderous protagonist, behind him is a cliff that he doesn''t know how high, and in his arms is a fatally wounded person¡­ How can he escape?


    A small purse hanging on his gown belt suddenly shook, and then a light screen popped up. [Do you want to use the mission reward, the Flying Talisman?]


    When the light screen popped up, a terrible energy suddenly burst out from the protagonist, and his spiritual power that pierced the other¡¯s brain was violently bounced back,then madly suppressed. Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heartstring was tight. He was too busy recovering his mental strength to have time to ask what the Flying Talismen did. Selecting the use option, he gritted his teeth, and with the girl in his arms, he jumped off the cliff!


    Oh f**k it!<sup>[2]</sup> The name Flying Talismen should mean that it could make him fly.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The attack of the protagonist only hit air. When he finished using the martial arts, he saw the bastard actually jump off the cliff. He suddenly felt wonderful, shook off the blood on the sword, and nced at his palm with satisfaction. He looked up to the skies andughed loudly. This time he returned from hell, he must kill all the people who have insulted him in the past, and reach the peak in the martial arts world!


    The speed they were falling at was getting faster and faster, and the face of the girl in his arms that was getting blown by the wind looked pale. Her blood started to ooze out again from her abdomen. Ye Zhizhou''s heart was beating wildly, and he screamed, ¡°Tongtian! Isn''t the Flying Talismen supposed to make me fly?! I don¡¯t want to fall to death!¡±


    The light screen popped out, and then turned into a huge paper to wrap the two people together. A gentle light shed past, and in the next second, the speed of the two people falling rapidly reduced, the whistling wind also weakened.


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s tight nerves finally rxed a little. He used his strength lifted up the girl in his arms, and gasped for breath. The greeting in this world was really too exciting. After his heartbeat gradually stabilized, he touched the short robe of his body, and took out a simple mirror from the purse of the belt to kiss it with a force. ¡°Tongtian, you are my great savior! Be a good person to the end, give me some pills to eat. Both this girl and I are going to die soon!¡±


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The small mirror shook a few times and seemed to be shy, then weakly shined and sent two pills out.


    ¡°Thank you.¡± He put the mirror in his pocket. He took the pill and gave it to the girl first. Then he swallowed the other one, and hugged the girl tightly and closed his eyes calmly and fell to the ground.


    The cliff was very tall, and the two fell for more than ten minutes before they reached the ground. He found a t space to put down the girl, then took out the medicine box from the space. He carefully wrapped the girl¡¯s wounds, but was worried that her internal organs were hurt, and asked Tongtian for a pill that could help with internal organs for her to eat.


    When he was done, it waspletely dark and the temperature dropped. He nced at the thin dress of the girl and the short robe of his body, frowned, and took a tent from the space and quickly set it up. After setting out a quilt, he carried the girl in, wrapped himself in a down jacket and went outside to guard it. He began to check the system information.


    This time when the light screen popped out, it actually froze for a bit before it started to spit out the data in broken pieces. He frowned slightly, was a bit worried and poked the mirror. ¡°Tongtian, are you ok? Did you crash?¡±


    [Upgrading the system, asking host to please wait a bit.]


    The text became garbled, and the light screen kept shing then disappearing. The small mirror began to shake continuously, and the shaking was so strong that it looked like the mirror was going crazy. He became more and more worried when he saw it. He couldn¡¯t help but poke the pattern on the back of the mirror. ¡°Tongtian, are you really ok?¡±


    [Upgrading, please do not bother the system.]


    ¡°¡­¡±


    After half an hour, the small mirror stopped shaking. The light screen that popped up was bigger than it was before, and text whizzed out.


    ¡°Slow down a bit, I know you''re even better now.¡± The worry he was carrying in his heart finallynded, and he couldn''t help but smile. He held the small mirror and kissed it again.


    The text scrolling suddenly stopped, then started again slowly, and asionally showed a few rows of wavy lines.


    Is this it being shy?


    He smiled and touched him again, then he restrained his emotions and started to read the information.


    This world ispletely different from the worlds he has lived in before. It is a martial world that relied solely on strength to speak. The energy he had felt from the protagonist before was the mainstream energy of the world ¨C Wu Hun.


    Wu Hun ability is divided into four ranks; Yellow, ck, Earth and Sky, with Sky being the best and Yellow being the worst. The protagonist of this world, before being reborn, had the worst ability rank, Yellow. It was impossible for him to truly enter the path to be a warrior during that lifetime.


    Yes, the protagonist of this world was actually someone who had been reborn.


    Before his rebirth, Lian Yi Zheng was abandoned by his parents, abandoned by his family, rejected by his fiancee, ridiculed by hispanions, and finally and unfortunately killed by a monster. After his rebirth, he began the road to world destruction. He first got a holy practice by ident, and then he was lucky enough to get the holy talent renewing fruit while he was practicing in a cave during a gathering of all the talented families. After swallowing the fruit, his talent went from the Yellow rank straight to Sky rank, and his body became the most suitable body for practicing martial arts!


    After his talent and physique waspletely changed, his level of cultivation began to rise rapidly. One day, yellow rank, the next day, the yellow ninth level, and the day after, directly into the next realm. In short, it was a shock to the eye. The parents who used to abandon him, began to pay attention to him. The outstanding brother who once made him unable to lift up his head him became his foil. The grandfather, Wu Sheng, who said that he was the shame of the family, used a lot of resources to make a powerful breaking sky sword just for him. The family that broke off his marriage contract became theughing stock of the upper ss in Hua country.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Ye Zhizhou temporarily turned off the information, looked at his weak chicken body that seemed only about 11 years old, and looked back at the young girl who was in aa in the tent. He asked, ¡°Tongtian, my body¡­ and the protagonist. What is our rtionship?¡±


    [No rtionship.]


    He breathed a sigh of relief. He then wondered, ¡°So why did he try to kill me?¡±


    [Your body''s sister called Zhi Huan, is the protagonist¡¯s fiancee.]


    ¡°¡­The girl who had the worst death in the story is my sister?¡±


    [Yes.]


    Ok, he understands, he''s the one who had the second worst death in this plot.


    Wiping his face, he skipped the plot of the protagonist bing a god, and focused on the emotional drama.


    The distortion of the protagonist¡¯s character was probably from the marriage rejection. On the way to bing a god, he became a scum male and began to the way of looking, loving and then leaving¡­


    Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t help but look up at the night sky and wash his eyes. The rtionship drama of this world protagonist is just like a little yellow book, and doing it can even actually help the protagonist to improve his skill! That¡¯s right, the Holy practice that the protagonist got was actually a double cultivation method! Then all the girls who have done this and that with him have fallen in love with him in the end! They were probably coerced and brainwashed, and gettingpletely deceived! Why is there such a moronic protagonist!? Why has this kind of scum man not been destroyed by humanity?!


    [Asking host to focus on the mission.]


    How can he calm down? Ye Zhizhou grabbed his hair, ignoring the wound on his arm.


    Saved a pair of sisters on the road, after the rescue they immediately slept together. Admitted to the top warrior college, the first thing he does after ss was to try to hook up with the ss flower who was also the most beautiful girl in the academy! The first time he tried, he didn¡¯t hook her, so he turned to tter the new smoking hot teacher! Even this g man, was still boasted to be suave and charming powerhouse! This whole world is broken! Can it still be saved!?


    After the ss flower and the teacher, it was the miss of a big family, and then the cold and pure holy saint¡­


    He took a deep breath and resisted the urge to draw an X on the plot material. He carefully recalled the protagonist¡¯s appearance and gave a darkugh. He really deserved to have his engagement broken in hisst life! Growing up and pretending to be someone he''s not, how can he not learn to be a proper human and not spout shit?


    When he looked at the data again to check the timeline, he became even more angry after seeing it! This scum man has already got the talent renewing fruit, and he is leaving for college tomorrow morning!


    So. Fucking. Angry!


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    He looked up at the top of the cliff, but couldn¡¯t see it, and looked back at the tent. The injured person still hasn''t woken up¡­ He''s done for! On the third day of going to school, the scum man will meet the sisters that were being hunted down!


    Suddenly there was a drop of water fell on his head. He curiously reached out and touched it, then frowned.


    It¡¯s raining? But why is this rain kind of sticky, and a bit warm¡­


    <strong><em>ROAR</em></strong>¨C!¡±


    The roar of a beast sounded over his head and a few more drops of warm liquid fell on him. He froze for a moment, and then trembled as he looked up, his eyes looking straight at a pair of green eyes and sharp teeth.


    ! ! !


    He couldn''t see what kind of beast it was. He only knew that the huge beast suddenly opened his mouth and ran towards him. He quickly rolled around, anxiously nced at the tent, and then ran away from the tent.


    He tried a spiritual attack, but it didn''t work. He threw a bomb as well, but the other side wasn''t afraid of it because of his thick skin! Ye Zhizhou finally panicked, shouting, ¡°Tongtian save me! I don¡¯t want to feed the beast!¡± He is a weak chicken who grew up in a peaceful world. He can¡¯t fight the beast! And this big guy, why is it not afraid of spiritual power! This is not natural! Spiritual power is obviously something this creature should be afraid of!


    [Asking host to focus on the mission.]


    ¡°You tell me how to calm down! Am I supposed to smile, wash myself clean, and then let the beast eat me?!¡±


    The light screen trembled, but there was no new text.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Two legs can''t outrun four legs. Even if he circled around the trees, the other party could directly crush the trees. He won''t be slowed down by it at all. Instead, he himself slowed down in order to avoid falling trees.


    His back felt the warm ¡°rain¡± again, then followed by the top of the head, and eventually his whole body was covered and was pressed in the darkness . In the end, he tried to attack it with his spiritual power. Still had no results. He looked desperately at the tent that he could barely see in the distance, and said goodbye to the world in his heart.


    His skin felt the cold touch of the fangs on his body, then the cor of his clothes was tighten, the body is lifted, his line of sight is rapidly rising, and the surrounding scenery begins to retreat rapidly.


    ¡°What is happening?!¡±


    [It is taking you to fly.]


    ¡°That''s not what I asked! Why didn¡¯t it eat me?!¡±


    [Asking host to focus on the mission.]


    He turned off the screen in anger and adjusted his breathing to calm himself down.


    The trees below were getting smaller and smaller, and the beast continued to move upwards.It flew straight to the front of the cliff, then towards a hole in the cliff, entering a dark cave. He closed his eyes and didn¡¯t look at the stimting scene. His fingers were nervously poking the pattern behind the small mirror. His voice shook. ¡°Tongtian, is it going to take me to his nest to eat me?¡±


    The small mirror shook, and the light screen popped up.


    [The next mission world is ready, and the soul can be transferred at any time.]


    ¡°¡­so do you think that I am already dead? You can¡¯t find a way to save your poor host?!¡±


    [Do you want to receive thepletion reward of one reviving pill in advance?]

 Chapter 64

    The cave was dark, and it was deep. There was gravel everywhere, with a cold wind blowing from the depths.


    Ye Zhizhou shrank back his neck and wanted to wrap his clothes tightly. He couldn¡¯t help but try to pull his shirt cor from the mouth of the beast. He couldn''t pull away, and 15 minutes passed as they flew through the darkness. The gravel disappeared, and the walls of the cave began to be smooth and t, with traces of artificial trimming. He took out a shlight and shed it on the wall of the cave and calmed down. His spiritual power did not feel any malicious or killing intent from the beast. When his cor was caught, the other party was very careful not to hurt him. This beast¡­it doesn¡¯t seem to be scary¡­and thisrge mural, could it be that there are people living in this cave? Could this beast be domesticated?


    The speed of the wild beast gradually slowed down. After turning a corner, the darkness disappeared and the light came back. A gorgeous door appeared in the deepest part of the cave. On the door isrge, exaggerated, and colorful carvings, which are also embellished with rich illuminated gems.


    ¡­What an exotic and a wonderful view.


    The beastnded at the door of the hall, and using a paw to open the door. He dragged Ye Zhizhou past the door. He turned and mmed the door close with his tail, and happily roared two times and ran.


    Ye Zhizhou fell to the ground. After rolling on the ground, he barely managed to bnce himself. The wound on his arm opened again. A few lines of blood ran down slowly, and stuck onto the inner lining of his down jacket. Turning around, he saw that the door has been closed. He looked back forward, only to findplete darkness.. There were only a few illuminated gems embedded on the door, and the illumination range was limited. He went to the door, pushed it, and took his shlight. He swallowed before taking a look inside the door.


    Iron chains, tons of iron chains.


    His heart thumped in his chest, and he shone the shlight to the chain that was crisscrossing the ceiling, and only to find a ceiling with strange patterns carved on it. Following the chain, he looked down and saw white fur.. wait, fur?


    Quickly moving the shlight down, there''s still more fur! There was also a golden totem on the fur, and further down, a beast appeared in the pale light of the shlight.


    What the hell! The chains in this room was used to tie up this white beast!


    Although he still felt apprehensive, his fear lessened. He walked a few steps forward only to hesitate and stop. Looking at the amount of chains on him, thisrge animal seems to be a little dangerous¡­


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Warm air suddenly came through from the door, and there was the sound of the chains moving. The beast''s face that was illuminated by the shlight moved, and he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dark red pupils.


    ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡±


    It was not the roar of the beast, but a clear and pleasant human voice. Ye Zhizhou''s heart jumped up then quickly rxed again, he couldn''t help but step back and grip the shlight tightly. The beast can actually speak¡­ This world is irrational.


    ¡°I like this taste.¡±


    The sound of the chains moving continued to ring, and then the beast disappeared. Ye Zhizhou only felt his body getting lifted before being gently ced into a pile of soft white fur.


    ¡°Sleep with me.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou, who had just stabilized his body, was shocked by this sentence and fell into the pile of white hair. He took a deep breath and did a good job of psyching himself up. He tried tomunicate with this animal brother who could talk. ¡°This, This brother beast¡­¡±


    Pap¨C


    His back was gently patted by something like a tail, and the beast looked at him with his red eyes. ¡°Be good, go back to sleep.¡± A fluffy tail stretched and rolled him over, stuffing him directly under his furry belly. The animal''s face came over, licked him, and closed his eyes.


    Ye Zhizhou was stunned by the lick and couldn¡¯t respond. He struggled hard, but the other¡¯s hair was too long and too soft. He couldn''t get any grip at all. When he finally got his head out, the big tail actually rolled over and stuffed him back under!


    What does this beast brother want?!


    He red and thought about trying tomunicate again. ¡°This brother, I am afraid of the dark..¡±


    The beast opened his eyes and blinked. The next second, the illuminated gemstones from therge doors and walls shined brighter, illuminating therge luxurious golden hall as brightly as the day.


    ¡­he''s going blind with this view.


    ¡°The ground is too cold.¡±


    The big fluffy tail that came up paused, and wrapped around him, and brought under his stomach.


    This will have him die from heat!


    It''s too weird, and he''s also worried about the unconscious girl who was still in the forest. Looking sideways at the beast''s head, he continued to struggle. He then waited for the beast to turn before opening his mouth. ¡°I, I am injured, I want to deal with my wound first.¡±


    ¡°Injured?¡±


    With the light, he finally saw the appearance of the strange animal. He was like a fox, with long white hair, and arge diamond-shaped golden totem with an unclear pattern on the forehead. The chains that hung down from the ceiling suddenly disappeared when they touched him, but it strangely seemed to be still tied to him. Every time he moves, the chains would make a sound.


    The tail carefully rolled him out as his front paws extended and a ripping sound was heard. The down jacket on his body waspletely ripped and the duck feathers floated out.


    There was a trace of doubt in the beast, and he sniffed the jacket. ¡°Are you a winged n?¡±


    ¡°¡­you misunderstood.¡± Taking off the torn down jacket, he stretched out the arm that was starting to bleed again. ¡°I am human. Look, there is no feathers on my arm.¡±


    The beast squatted down, and his eyes fell on the fresh blood on his arm. He slowly reached over with his tongue before licking him, his wound, and his mouth. ¡°It turns out that you taste like this, I have remember it.¡±


    Don¡¯t remember, brother! You being like this, I am scared!


    Ye Zhizhou took back his arm and quickly took out the medicine box from his space to rewrap the wound. After wrapping it, he carefully said, ¡°my¡­ my sister is still in the forest outside, she is seriously injured, I want to go out and look for her."


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°You want to leave me?¡± His tone became dangerous, and his tail rolled up again. The beast came close, and red at him. It was not like its previous gentleness. ¡°You are not allowed to leave, you are mine.¡±


    After almost missing his lover in the previous world because of not paying attention, Ye Zhizhou almost sent out his spiritual power when he heard these possessive words. But then he thought that this being in front of him is not a human, and he takes back his spirituall power. He seems to be overreacting. Although he speaks in a human speech, how can he be his lover? Bestialisty is quite hardcore¡­


    An aggressive type of violent energy suddenly burst from the beast in front of him, and the force that wrapped around his tail suddenly increased, before quickly reinserting him back under his stomach. The behemoth was still squatting, but his neck was raised high, like it is suffering. His mouth opened, and a loud roar that can almost pierce the human eardrum was made.


    Ye Zhizhou''s thoughts broke instantly, and he was shocked by the tail that was wrapped around him. The uncontroble pop-up of his spiritual power got swept away toward the violent force, and his tone was totally panicked. "You, you, you¡­¡­" you''re actually not even a human anymore!! How did this happen?!


    The chains suddenly began to tremble quickly, and the violent force calmed down slightly after encountering Ye Zhizhou¡¯s spiritual power, and then quickly wrapped it, as if it was protecting it from being attacked by anything.


    The beast became more and more ferocious, and bloody traces suddenly appeared on his smooth white fur. The beast looked at the void with violentness, and his aggressiveness went up. ¡°Old Jiquan, don''t even think about hurting him!¡± As he got more and more bloody marks, the chains got louder and louder, and the lighting gemstones in the corner started to crack.


    Ye Zhizhou was caught off guard by this sudden change. He quickly reached out and licked the wound on his body. He said, ¡°What''s happening? How are you suddenly getting hurt?¡± Then he thought of the spiritual strength that was wrapped in the other side, and wanted to try to help again. But he was afraid that he would identally hurt him, and he was so anxious that cold sweat wasing down.


    As the jewels shattered, the hall gradually began to darken, and there was a long roar. The behemoth suddenly stood firmly above Ye Zhizhou. The bloody marks on his body increased again, and the front paws began to m the ground. A golden light suddenly shone from the totem on its forehead and then spread rapidly. The chains hanging over it suddenly straightened, and then a crisp crack is heard, the chains eventually turning into powder and disappearing into the air.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    After a few minutes, thest chain broke and the light of the totem on the behemoth was extinguished. The hall returned to the darkness again, and all the chaos disappeared. In the darkness, he felt something sinking into his arms, and then the closed door was pushed open, a dark beast head popped in..


    "Awoo?"


    Ye Zhizhou looked up and found that the behemoth guarding him had disappeared, looked down and saw a small furry body in his arms. Guessing what probably happened, he looked at the beast that had originally brought him here, took an apple from the space, and threw it at him. ¡°Awoo my ass! Come and take me back to the forest!¡±


    The beast blinked his eyes, pushed open the door and ran to him, then hurriedly circled him two times to sniff the little guy he was holding in his arms.


    ¡°Don¡¯t sniff him! Take us away!¡± This broken hall is weird, and he has a feeling that if they continue to stay, something bad will happen!


    Ten minutester, Ye Zhizhou returned to the tent, and, at the cost of a down jacket, brought back two animals, with one of them being his lover¡­ The story bing like this ispletely indigestible¡­


    The girl was still asleep, and he was relieved. After sitting down, he looked at the white-furred beast in his arms, touched his ear, rubbed the totem that had changed, and rubbed his fluffy tail. ¡°Not a fox, and not a cat, are you a dog?¡±


    The beast sitting on the side gave a loud roar, and seems to be very dissatisfied with his guess.


    ¡°Be quieter.¡± Ye Zhizhou nced at it, knocked on the small mirror and scanned the lover¡¯s body. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked for a pill for the beast to eat, and then carefully held it in his arms.


    Being trapped on a cliff, having a weak chicken body with an injury, as well as his lover bing an animal as well and he even became smaller animal now¡­ The mission has not even begun yet and he wants to abort already. Sorrowfully sighing, he opens the system information, skipping the ** scenes to look at the story of thest world''s destruction.


    After the protagonist became warrior saint, several of his sisters who had been epted into his harem also became holy saints, and each gave birth to a child for the protagonist within a few years. Ten yearster, a demon king was born and went straight to the Imperial City of Hua. There he killed all the children of the protagonist and fought with the protagonist and his wives. In the end, all of all of the protagonist¡¯s wives died. The demon was seriously injured, and the protagonist had only half a life left. When the protagonist lifted his sword to kill the demon, the family members of the female protagonists suddenly rushed out and attacked him. The protagonist was furious and saw that there was no way to live. He simply blew himself up and everyone died.


    I feel that soon I''ll have no idea what the word ''protagonist'' means¡­ Ye Zhizhou blinked his eyes and continue to read on.


    The energy released by the strong self-explosive was toorge, and it and it turned the vast majority of the imperial city into a ruin, killing a lot of dignitaries and abolishing most of the upper echelons of Hua country. Several small countries around the country took the opportunity to join forces. A war broke out and the country was quickly destroyed. Afterwards, when the several small countries fought over who would get the biggest piece, the other two big countries that had been watching for a long time attacked quickly, and got it all! After the small countries reacted, they joined forces again to counterattack. At this point, a world war broke out.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    He turned off the information, rubbed his lover¡¯s smooth soft hair, and after a long while, he celebrated in his heart. The protagonist of this world seems to be the only one who was reborn¡­ How wonderful, it''s good that he died! It is a pity for the female leads and their families.


    The little body under his hand suddenly moved. He quickly recovered his thoughts and looked down. The little beast was shaking his ears and opening his eyes. He then gently rubbed his head, and the pure red eyes looked over, blinking, and licked his mouth, pouting. He stuck out his pink tongue and licked his finger. His tender voice called out.


    ¡°Mama!¡±


    The expression of relief on his face cracked. ¡°What did you call me?¡±


    The little beast shook his tail happily, and sweetly licked his chin and continued to cry,


    ¡°Mama!¡±


    ¡°¡­Tongtian, bring me to the next world, immediately, right away.¡±


    [Detecting that host is not in a life-threatening situation, please do not kick up a fuss unreasonably.]


    It''s obviously this world that is being unreasonable! He was furious and shook the little body of the little beast. ¡°Don¡¯t call me mama! I am not your mother! Call me mama again and I''ll neuter you!¡±


    The little beast tilted his head and continued to wag his tail. ¡°Papa!¡±<hr ss="wp-block-separator">

    There hasn''t been such a desperate time until now.


    After Ye Zhizhou finally recovered from the shock, he fed the beast before letting him sleep in his arms. He let Tongtian scan his body, who confirmed that there were no problems. After that, he climbed into the tent to scan the girl who was still unconscious.


    [Her body is healthy, but her Wuhun is depleted. She needs to replenish energy. No suitable pills avable.]


    He frowned and was a bit confused. How do you replenish a thing like Wuhun? Transfer energy? He tried to surround the girl with his spiritual power, but found that the other side seemed to reject this force quite a bit, and her slightly ruddyplexion turned pale again. Reluctantly withdrawing his spiritual strength, he rubbed his lover''s furry little head and moved his eyes to the ck beast outside the tent.


    They can¡¯t stay here anymore, he had to find a way to return home. This big beast¡­ can fly.


    The Zhi family was one of thergest families in China, but it was a pity that it had gradually declined after three generations of no geniuses. The current head of the family is called Zhi Shan. He is an Earth rank, 9th level warrior. In the Imperial City of Hua country, where the ck level was abundant as wild dogs, the Earth level loiters the street and experts of the Sky level gather together everyday, this kind of level doesn''t have that muchpetitiveness, and definitely isn''t strong enough to pressure the crowd. Thankfully because Zhi Shan normally has good conduct, there are no profit disputes with other families and they have business with nobles in the royal family. These years passed by peacefully


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    It was a pity that their calm situation was quickly destroyed after breaking the marriage contract between the Zhi family''s granddaughter, Zhi Huan, and the Lian family''s 2nd son, Lian Yizheng. The Lian Family was a new family that had gradually gained a foothold in the Imperial City during the past two generations. The current head is Lian Wenrui, who had just entered the Wusheng realm for about 30 years. This was the time when their limelight was flourishing. He has three wives, and they gave him four sons and two daughters. All of them had good talent. After waiting for a grandson, Lian Yi was born. He was an extremely talented child, and many other families were envious.


    In a ce where power is respected, a family''s future rise and decline can easily be foreseen after measuring the talents of the new generation of children. Those old influential families have seen generations of their children have better talents than the previous generation. In session, all of these families extended an olive branch toward the Lian Family, and a majority of them did this in hopes of gaining a marriage contract. At this time the Zhi Family was pushed to the front by Lian Wenrui as a shield.


    Lian Wenrui has three wives, and naturally does not want his best grandchild to be bound to a single marriage. In his mind, he naturally thinks that the more wives, the better. This way, there is a chance to produce better offspring. With such inconvenience and the thoughts of the outside world, he secretly sent Lian Yi to a deep mountain to cultivate. He imed to the others that Lian Yi was in poor health and would not live long, so it would be inconvenient to make a marriage contract so young. The influential families who were secretlypeting immediately stopped considering Lian Yi and turned their ideas to the younger brother who had just been born. Lian Wenrui was in a hurry, but since he can no longer use poor health as an excuse, he thought of a different idea. With bad intentions, he picked the most harmless and most inferior second-rate family in the imperial city, and pretended to have idental encounters and acted like close friends of the previous generation. In the end, he managed to trick the upright, honest and honorable Zhi Family into a marriage contract with him. At this point, the insignificant Zhi family was pushed into the view of the top families, and became a shield for them.


    Two yearster, when Lian Yizheng tested for his talent, it turned out that he was a Yellow Rank with poor aptitude. The influential families attention gradually left the Lian family, and the Zhi family was mocked thoroughly. In this situation, Lian Wenrui was disappointed, angry but also relieved. Fortunately, the marriage contract was with an honest family with little power and no influence. Otherwise, it would not have ended well and the Lian Family would have lost more face.


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Even in the face of this ridicule, the Zhi family did not choose to break off the contract but insteadforted Lian Wenrui a bit, saying that the Zhi family is not the kind of family who would break faith, and that the marriage contract was still valid. When Lian Wenrui heard this he secretly rejoiced and decided to take advantage of the situation. Zhi Huan, with her rank, might be able to give Lian Yizheng a good heir, so he no longer brought up the marriage situation.


    After another ten years, Zhi Huan and Lian Yizheng both turned 18 years old. Just when Lian Wenrui nned to bring Zhi Huan to marry his grandson, a help letter from a distant rtive of the Zhi family coincidentally smashed the lies that Lian Wenrui was an old friend of the previous generation. Zhi Shan was furious, and he went to Lian family to break off the marriage contract while drawing a line between the two families.


    The marriage contract was not something that Lian Wenrui was even concerned about in the first ce. Worrying about the reputation and image of Lian Family, he agreed to the abolition of the marriage contract, and also broke off their rtionship with the Zhi family. But behind their backs, they acted out a whole different story for others.


    Ye Zhizhou, sitting on the back of the ck-haired beast, sneered and rubbed the soft fur of his lover. This family is too honest and too easy to deceive, whatever Lian Wenrui said they believed¡­ And at that time, Zhi Huan seems to have just been conceived, and they made a marriage contract before they even confirmed her gender¡­. This is not just honest and straightforward, it''s just too stupid and too easy to fool.


    In the distance, the shadow of the city gradually appeared. He stuffed the little beast that had fallen asleep in his arms, tightened the quilt on Zhi Huan, and then took off his big cotton coat and let the ck beastnd on the ground.


    This world is more advanced than the ancient ones he experienced before, but it is still more than a little bit behind modern times, in a very embarrassing semi-modern stage. The means of transport for the warriors are all kinds of high-end monsters that can fly. Ordinary people mostly ride carriages pulled by low-end monsters. From that point of view, since the ck-furred beast can fly, it should be a high-level monster.


    However, when a high-level monster enters the city, they have to pay the city a management fee and guarantor fee. Ye Zhizhou has no money, and Zhi Huan doesn''t have any on her either¡­


    Very embarrassing.


    He looked at several hills outside the Imperial City and patiently discussed with the ck-haired beast. ¡°Xiao Hei, go look for a mountain hole to hide in, I will pick you up when I get some money, ok?¡±


    The ck-furred beast tilted his head, waved his tail, and walked over to lick the little beast in his arms before making a few "wuwu" sounds and flying away.


    It seems to have understood¡­ He watched it fly away happily. He rubbed the wet head of the little beast in his arms, carried Zhi Huan onto his back, and walked toward the gate.


    The Zhi family had already rushed around that night looking for these two siblings. The family had searched in the city, and then searched the hills outside the imperial city, but they didn''t even see a shadow. Just when they were imagining the many horrible things that could''ve happened in their minds, their little son whose body looked terrible suddenly entered the door with their eldest daughter.


    Duan Rong was stunned, before quickly rushing over and took the two into her arms. She patted two times and hurried to see Zhi Huan on the back of Ye Zhizhou. ¡°What happened? Weren''t you just going to the beast market to buy a pet? Why didn¡¯t youe back this whole night! Are you trying to scare the whole family to death?¡±


    ¡°Mom.¡± Ye Zhizhou smiled at her, but his two thin legs shook and trembled. ¡°We really did go to buy a pet. Look at what''s in my arms¡­ First take Sister to her room, I can¡¯t hold her for much longer¡­. call grandfather and dad, and tell them that Sister is hurt¡­¡±


    Hearing this, Duan Rong was startled and quickly turned to his back to help her daughter down. While telling a servant to find Zhi Shan and Zhi Xuan, who were looking for the children outside, she carefully took her daughter and ran towards the house.


    ¡°She has a lot of strength¡­¡± Ye Zhizhou looked enviously, and sat down on the ground, rubbing his legs, ¡°Tongtian, the protagonist is so powerful, he is a saint rank warrior and has a pure Wuhun body. But this body of mine isn¡¯t even Yellow Rank. How am I supposed to fight with him over the female leads?¡±


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Dad?¡± The little beast that had been sleeping suddenly woke up and bit his sleeve. ¡°Mine.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and grabbed his tail. ¡°Even after bing like this your vinegar eating skills is still so strong! Go back to sleep! I''ll deal with you when you grow up!¡±


    The little beast tried to shake his tail but couldn¡¯t. He turned back and licked his hand, calling pitifully.


    ¡°You''re not allowed to act pitiful, you''re a boy!¡±


    The little beast was honest and forcefully burrowed into his arms.


    This little nuisance!


    He noticed a strange aura and heard footsteps quickly approaching. He stuffed the little beast into his arms and turned around. He saw a gray-haired old man and a handsome 30-year-old man with an anxious face running across the steps. He quickly recognized the identity of the two people. He quickly climbed up from the ground and ran towards them. As he ran he shouted, ¡°Grandpa, you have to save sister! She was injured by that bastard Lian Yizheng and hasn''t woken up since!¡± "


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    With only the vague report given by the servant, the anxious Zhi Shan was shocked, and he quickly picked up his grandson who looked terrible and handed him to Zhi Xuan, and hurriedly headed for the inner room.


    ¡°Lian Yizheng?¡± Zhi Xuan hugged his son, and also started to walk faster. ¡°What happened to your sister, exin it clearly!"


    The family gathered in front of Zhi Huan''s bed. Duan Rong took back the hand ced on her daughter''s Dantian, ??wiped the sweat on her forehead, and was finally relieved. ¡°She''s ok, I gave her a bit of my Wuhun, so there should be no problems.¡±


    The face of Zhi Huan looked a little better. They then looked at Ye Zhizhou, who had copsed on the nearby surface, and asked seriously, ¡°Xiao Yuan, what happenedst night? How did you meet that guy from the Lian family?¡±


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Ye Zhizhou, who was secretly using the system to analyze the nature of Wuhun and to scan the physical condition of the family members, put on an angry and sad expression. He replied, ¡°It was Lian Yizheng who ambushed me and Sister! He called Sister a slut and even said that he''d kill me in front of Sister to make her sad! Sister was stabbed protecting me. He also wanted to ruin Sister¡¯s appearance! Later, I had no other choice but to jump off the cliff with Sister¡­¡±


    ¡°Jump off a cliff?!¡± Duan Rong¡¯s face became white, and went over to hug and hit him. It was very confusing. ¡°How can you, how can you jump over a cliff! You, you¡­¡±


    ¡°It''s all because I''m useless¡­¡± He bowed his head at the right time to pretend to be pitiful and continued, ¡°I couldn''t do anything, I didn¡¯t want to jump, but I didn''t want sister and I to die¡­ Fortunately, I met Xiao Hei.. Xiao Hei is a monster that can fly! He was nice, and he saved me and my sister. He sent us back, but I had no money to let him into the city, so I had him hide in the hills outside.¡±


    The little beast in his arms began to move and he hurried to stroke him.


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°This Lian Yizheng!¡± Zhi Shan mmed the table and was angered to the point that his face changed colors ¡°This Lian family is just too much! Do they think there''s no one in this family?!¡±


    Zhi Xuan clenched his fists. He turned, wanting to go out to find the Lian family to immediately to settle ounts, but was quickly calmed down when Duan Rong pulled him back.


    ¡°What are you doing?!¡± Duan Rong held onto him. Zhi Xuan''s eyes are full of hatred, but he had to force himself to calm down.


    ¡°You''re only a ck Rank warrior, how can you just charge toward the Lian Family? You want your dad, a white haired man to send off a ck haired man<sup>[1]</sup>? Lian Yizheng is now a Sky Rank warrior with a pure Wuhun body and Lian Wenrui sees him like his apple of his eye. Even if you go, what can you do?! Our daughter is still hurt, our son is still so young, and Dad is already so old! If you do this, what will happen to our family?!¡±


    Zhi Xuan calmed down and punched the door frame angrily, not wanting to talk.


    The straight back of Zhi Xuan curved down slightly, and his eyes were filled with pain. In a world where power is respected, there is no way for those with weak strength to go against those with more strength. And this incident was not seen by anyone else. The Lian family can just straightforwardly not admit anything, and the Zhi family will have no way of retaliating.


    Ye Zhizhou was not willing to see the pain in their eyes, and he couldn''t help but sigh. The world is so distorted and unfair, and the weak do not have the right for justice¡­


    The small mirror suddenly shook and popped up a screen.


    [Scanning isplete Zhi Shan: meridians are blocked and has internal injuries. Applicable medicine pills: Top grade Xi Sui pill<sup>[2]</sup>. Zhi Xuan: congenital poison, Qi and blood deficiency. Applicable medicine pills: Shiquan Dabu pill<sup>[3]</sup>. Duan Rong: healthy, no need for pills.]


    Meridian blocked? Congenital poison?


    He frowned slightly, and nced at Zhi Shan and Zhi Xuan, who was being pulled to sit down by Duan Rong, in a deep mood. How did the two pirs of this family have these problems? Was it a coincidence or were they secretly harmed by someone?


    In the middle of the night, after the family members were all asleep, Ye Zhizhou quietly got out of bed. He carefully poked Zhi Shan and Zhi Xuan with his spiritual power and fed them each a pill. After thinking about it, he ran into the room of Zhi Huan and also fed her a lower grade Xi Sui pill. He then went back to his room, packed up some things, left a message, picked up the little beast, and went straight to the city gate.


    After getting out of the city, he walked to the ce where he and the ck beast separated. He hesitated and woke up the sleeping little beast that was buried in his arms, and asked, ¡°Is there a way to call Xiao Hei? I don¡¯t know where it went.¡±


    The little beast sleepily looked at him, then put his head in his arms, his tail wrapped around his wrist, the tender voice was muffled, ¡°Mine, don¡¯t look for him!¡±


    This vinegar jar!


    Ye Zhizhou was angry, grinded his teeth, and reached for his tail. ¡°Not allowed to act spoiled, Get him here quickly or I''ll pull your fur out!¡±


    The little beast pulled out his head and looked at him with grief. He cried out twice, and tried to be pitiful, ¡°Dad¡­¡±


    ¡­more angry!


    ¡°Instead of pulling out your fur, how about I neuter you?¡±


    Hearing the sinister tone, the little beast intuitively knew something was wrong. He brushed back and pulled his tail between his legs, licking his hand and making a tender sound. He then pushed into his hand and arched in his arms, calling out, ¡°wuwuwu."


    Ye Zhizhou''s angry heart became soft, and he touched him soothingly while sighing. If he can affect him even after bing such a thing, his days are going to be hard.


    The ck-furred beast soon came, and Ye Zhizhou fed it something to eat, before climbing up onto his back. He took out the map and identified which direction to go, and flew to the state of Chenzhou, where the Xianwu Academy was located.


    Scum male protagonist, it''s time to get rid of you!


    In the early hours of the morning, there was a sudden burst of powerful energy fluctuations in the main courtyard of the Zhi Family. Duan Rong was awakened by this power. After carefully feeling, she couldn''t help but push the husband next to her. "Zhi Xuan, wake up, Dad broke through! Quickly, get up!¡±


    Zhi Xuan was stunned by her push, obviously awake, but did not get up.


    Duan Rong was shocked. She quickly opened the curtain that covered the moonlight and looked down. She saw that Zhi Xuan''s face was red, and his body was full of cold sweat. There was still a hint of chill from his Dantian.


    ¡°This is¡­another breakthrough?!¡±


    Overnight, the news of the father and son of the Zhi Family both breaking through spread throughout the imperial city, but the family members themselves became a mess after a short period of joy.


    ¡°Did you find him yet?¡± Duan Rong looked anxiously at her husband, who stepped across the entrance.


    Zhi Xuan shook his head, frowning and sitting on one side, his face had no joy after the breakthrough.


    ¡°It''s because we were too useless, to have Xiao Yuan exchange himself to get this chance of both of us to breakthrough¡­¡± Zhi Shan put down the letter in his hand and sighed, ¡°I can only hope that the one who took Xiao Yuan treats him well.¡±


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    Duan Rong, who has always been strong, couldn''t help but shed tears. ¡°It said that he followed the saint who saved him and his sister to learn the art. But with the body of Xiao Yuan¡­ It could be that Xiao Yuan is lying to us. That in fact, there is no saint. What if them jumping off the cliff was also fake, and he got caught up by bad people?¡±


    ¡°Xiao Xuan and me breaking through is not fake.¡± Zhi Shan looked at his silent son, and he was happy and worried. ¡°If they can cure my internal injuries, get rid of the innate poison in Xiao Xuan, and raise Xiao Xuan''s talent by a level, the strength of the saint may have surpassed most of the people in the world¡­ and the saint may have the means to change the ordinary physique of Xiao Yuan.¡±


    Duan Rong gradually stopped crying, and forced herself to think in a good direction. ¡°It must be like this, but only ten years, ten years¡­ it''ll pass by in a blink of an eye, and I will wait for Xiao Yuan toe back.¡±


    Zhi Xuan looked down at his palm, clenched and rxed, rxed and clenched, slowly sinking his eyes. He will have to settle this ount with the Lian family sooner orter!


    Cangzhou, where the Xianwu Academy is located, is about five days away from the Imperial City. If you travel with a flying monster, you can arrive in two days. The protagonist had just recently obtained a pure Wuhun body not too long ago, and he didn''t have many good props yet. In order to show a modest and indisputable side in front of his parents, he deliberately only picked a level five monster to travel, and its speed was not fast.


    Ye Zhizhou estimated the time. He first reached Lancheng, where the protagonist met the two sisters and found a remote inn to stay. After he settled down, he took a top grade Xi Sui<sup>[2]</sup> pill from Tongtian and swallowed it. Then he put the little beast on the bed and locked himself in the bathroom with anticipation. The original body is too weak, and it won''t be able to grab people from the protagonist without any strength. He can only hope that this product can be used to give some strength, not to mention the talent of the heavens, there must be some strength..


    A minuteter, a small w came in from the gap under the door.


    Ye Zhizhou sighed and pushed the small ws out. ¡°Don¡¯t grab the door. I''m not running away, and I''m not hiding here to eat good food. After you wake up from a nap, I''ll be out. Be good and don''t grab the door.¡±


    <strong><em>matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The little paws retreated, and a round nose extended in, ¡°Wuwu¡­¡±


    His stomach began to faintly ache and his expression became slightly distorted He turned to open the simple version of the shower and began to release water. He then reached out and pushed out the small nose under the door. Although his lover has be an animal, this does not mean that he canpletely be shameless, and that the animal¡¯s sense of smell is more sensitive than humans¡­


    The sound of the water mixed with a strange sound, and the little beast that was struggling with Ye Zhizhou paused, then took his nose out, crying out and ran away!


    ¡°¡­Bastard! When you grow up, I''ll deal with you.¡± Ye Zhizhou, whose face was thin, felt ashamed.


    An hourter, he copsed into the wooden barrel, endured the pain of his veins and blood vessels being cleansed, and clenched his teeth, afraid to leak even a little sound.


    The little nose stretched in again from the gap under the door, and his small ws continued to scratch the door. The tender voice had a bit of anxiety and worry.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, you be good.¡± He took a deep breath and calmed his voice, trying to make the tone sound easier. ¡°I just took a shower, and I''lle out soon. You y for a while¡­ Wu!¡± There was a sharp tingling in his brain, and the gathered spiritual power began to boil, and then washed every inch of his brain over and over again.


    Grasping the edge of the barrel, he gritted his teeth and poked the small mirror on the side of the shelf. He struggled to ask, ¡°Tongtian¡­ Didn''t you say that the marrow cleansing pill will not affect the soul? Why is the spiritual power suddenly starting to rebel?"


    [Scanning¡­ Scanning isplete, no anomalies, please trust the system.]


    I believe you as much as I believe in ghosts!


    The pain is getting stronger and stronger, and his consciousness fluctuated between rity and blurriness. The cries of the little beast can be faintly heard outside the door. He suppressed the pain that was about to burst out. He climbed out from the tub and reached out to touch the small ws protruding from the gap under the door. He wanted to say something tofort him, but he was defeated by the tongue that did not want to listen to him, before gradually losing conscious from the burning pain that suddenly appeared in his Dantian.


    <strong><em>BOOM!</em></strong>


    Ye Zhizhou barely heard the sound of the door being broken open. He wanted to tighten his hold on the small ws in his hand but suddenly he grabbed nothing. His heart tightened and he struggled to open his eyes, only to see silver hair.


    Who is it¡­


    His spiritual power uncontrobly dispersed around the room, and a gentle force suddenly wrapped around him. The pain was slightly reduced, and his right hand that was groping for the little ws seemed to have caught something. His heart rxed and he fainted.<hr ss="wp-block-separator">

 Chapter 66

    Trantor: Mina


    Editor: Divetus


    Proofreader: Padam


    When he woke up it was midnight, and his body was a little weak. His dantian felt like it was stuffed into a small fireball, making his whole body warm.


    ¡°You woke up?¡±


    The sound of the clear and beautiful voice was vaguely familiar.


    His drowsiness immediately disappeared, and his half-lidded eyes shot open. Ye Zhizhou turned his head and looked to the side. He saw a handsome, white-haired and red-eyed man sitting on the bed, looking at him expressionlessly, and, more importantly, with no clothes on. Continuing on past that point, he also saw a totem-shaped mark on his forehead and animals ears on his head.


    Wait, ears?


    ¡°Xiao Bai?¡±


    The handsome guy''s face darkened and his slender fingers extended to pinch Ye Zhizhou''s face with some force. "Mortal, what did you call me?"


    The strength of the grip on his face was not strong. Ye Zhizhou carefully examined his extremely white skin and gorgeous face. He mentally went through all of the names of his lover in various worlds. Finally, he decided to abandon his integrity and moved to kiss up to him, "Dear~¡±


    The handsome man¡¯s hand became stiff and then slowly withdrew. He looked away, nodding very coldly with aloof silence. However, the unconsciously flicking ears betrayed his shy and cheerful mood.


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heart was tickled, his hands felt itchy, and he couldn¡¯t help but drool while leaning forward. He then suddenly hugged him, his hands sneaking behind his lover, full of perverse thoughts. ¡°Dear, is your big tail still there?¡±


    The ears of the handsome white-haired man instantly raised and became alert with his eyes attentive. He moved sideways and caught the sneaking hands behind him, turning over to press them down. His eyes narrowed slightly and his tone was dangerous, ¡°What do you want?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the beautiful face almost within his reach and didn¡¯t care about the hands that were caught. He looked up and kissed him. His smile was sorge that his teeth obscured his eyes. ¡°I like this appearance of yours!¡± He originally thought he was a beast, but unexpectedly, he was still human! Thank the heavens, earth, all the gods and Buddhas!


    The white-haired handsome guy''s ears began to tilt back again. The fluffy tail behind him unconsciously shook. His eyes were still cold and indifferent, but his face gradually reddened, and he said suddenly, ¡°Ji Huaijin."


    ¡°What?¡± Ye Zhizhou was struggling to peek at the big tail behind him, not paying attention to what he said.


    Ji Huaijin paused and wordlessly hid his tail behind him and said again, ¡°Ji Huaijin, it''s my name.¡±


    With no tail in sight, Ye Zhizhou regretfully looked away, and moved his eyes to Ji Huaijin''s face. He frowned slightly after repeating his name. ¡°I remember you previously mentioned the name ''Ji Quan'', what happened? Also when I ran into you, why were you trapped? Are you a monster?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Ji Huaijin''s expression turned cold when he started speaking about the past. The Wuhun in the air seemed to perceive his emotions and began to stir up. ¡°I was to be the thirty-second generation sacred sage of the Ji family, but I almost died from an ambush attack by Ji Quan.. Zhong Hua sacrificed his life in exchange for me to return. But he¡­ Ji Quan saw that I was not dead, so he took advantage of the fact that I had not recovered and sealed me in a cave outside the Imperial City in the misty mountains.¡±


    Heavenly Saint? Zhong Hua? Ye Zhizhou was surprised and widened his eyes. Heavenly saints, as the name implies, are natural saints. The moment they''re born, they are already on the holy path to be a heavenly saint. These talents are incredibly rare, and it can take hundreds of years for one to be born! A genius among geniuses! There is also the case of Zhong Hua; wasn¡¯t that the name of the demon? Used as a sacrifice, how did this happen? If Zhong Hua is dead, who is the demon emperor that killed the protagonist''s children in the original plot? Is it the Ji Huaijin in front of me?


    There is too much information, and he feels a little confused. There are questions piling up in his mind, but he doesn¡¯t know what to ask.


    Ji Huaijin saw him staring at him nkly with wide eyes, and his ears twitched. He could not help but bow his head to kiss his forehead, before turning over and tugging him into his arms, rolling his tail around him to protect him. In his red eyes, a bit of warmth could be seen seeping out. ¡°After sleeping for a hundred years, I ordered the Shi Hun<sup>[1]</sup> beast to guard the door and help me find an existence with a strength that matches mine to help me escape from the seal but I didn''t expect¡­ it did help me find you, but you''re unexpectedly so weak. "


    Ye Zhizhou instantly exploded, raising his hand to pinch his ear and grinded his teeth. ¡°What do you mean? You''re turning your back on me? Did I abandon you when you called me father before? You can¡¯t be ungrateful!¡±


    The tender expression on Ji Huaijin''s face turned stiff. His body trembled sensitively before turning over again in shame and pressing him down. He bowed his head and kissed his lips, passing a thread of source power. He began to exin. "That''s just because of forcefully breaking the seal, it was an automatic protective measure by my body¡­ Your body is too weak, although your rank changed, you still need to consolidate. Close your eyes, and feel the energy changes in your body.¡± After that, he stretched out an unyielding hand and covered his round eyes.


    This way of changing subjects is too obvious! Ye Zhizhou angrily grinded his teeth and deliberately arched into his arms with his hands and feet tightly entangled. Only when his body slightly warmed did he close his eyes.


    Ji Huaijin''s heart was made a mess by his hug. Seeing that the source power has begun to take effect, he hurriedly tried to breathe deeply to calm his mind. After confirming that there was no problem, he raised his hand over Ye Zhizhou''s dantian, gathering his force onto his palm before slowly pouring it into his body.. It went through Ye Zhizhou''s veins before carefully joining the power that had entered before.


    His body was getting hotter and hotter. Ye Zhizhou only felt that there was one kind of mysterious energy and another kind of mysterious energy in the air that echoes the small fireball in his dantian, revolving around him and pulsating toward his body. The energy and spiritual power are somewhat simr. He unconsciously began to absorb the energy and tame it ording to the method of cultivating spiritual power, and he absorbed into his body, over and over again.


    Sensing his behaviour, Ji Huaijin''s eyes shed with a trace of surprise. After closing his eyes and feeling the change of the Wuhun in the air, he couldn''t help but smile and kissed the boy''s forehead in his arms. He rxed his body and let the exhaustion sweep through him.. He actually awakened this kind of heaven defying talent¡­ It''s good, then this youth can stay with him for a long time¡­


    Cultivating is something that people can get addicted to, although Ye Zhizhou does not know that he is currently cultivating. When he pulled away from the mysterious realm, he copsed and found that Ji Huaijin, who was lying next to him was reced by the little beast who was biting his tail!


    Perceiving the gaze on him, the little beast was pleasantly surprised when he turned his head. He eagerly ran over and jumped into Ye Zhizhou''s embrace, licked him with his tongue and cheerfully called, ¡°Dad!¡±


    Why is it Dad again! Yesterday''s big beautiful man seemed to have just been a fantasy! Ye Zhizhou held the little beast in front of him, eyes to eyes, nose to nose, gnashing his teeth in anger, ¡°Ji Huaijin! Don¡¯t y around! Quickly change back!¡±


    The little beast continued to extend his tongue out to lick, and wag his tail. ¡°Dad! Like you! Kiss!¡±


    ¡°¡­¡± It''s unimaginable that this little beast andst night''s beautiful man were the same person. He''s probably still dreaming.


    The sun shone diagonally through the window and illuminated a strand of silver hair on the bed making it extremely visible. He stuffed the little beast into his arms, picked up the hair strand, rubbed it between his fingers before sighing sadly. He then looked at the sun outside the window, bowed his head to calcte the time, and became panicked.


    ¡°It¡¯s over! The protagonist!¡±


    The protagonist met the two beautiful sisters from the Jiang family on the morning of the third day, and then they **** at noon! It''s already so bright outside¡­Please don''t let him be toote! He quickly left the inn room and had Xiao Hei fly to the flower field outside the city. He opened the system information while he was on Xiao Hei''s back and carefully read through it. Afterwards, he requested an entire bottle of Qingxin<sup>[2]</sup>pills from Tongtian which he grinded into powder and then poured into a small spray gun he retrieved from the space, all while cursing his carelessness in his heart.


    The gs of this world are very easy to pull with the right method, but the premise is not letting the protagonist and females leads meet! The protagonist¡¯s cultivation method is very weird and seems to have a brainwashing and bewitching effect on people. Even if the female leads are extremely unwilling to be with the protagonist before any intimacy urs, as long as they were done by the protagonist, their unwillingness would be desperatemitment! Therefore, the key point to pulling out the g is to not let the scum male take advantage of the female leads, but now¡­he had messed up because of his carelessness!


    The silhouette of the ancient Huatian tree where the three did it in the original story gradually appeared. He held the small spray gun in his hand, and after eating a pill to change his voice, he mixed his spiritual power into his voice and shouted loudly. "You beast! Let go of those two girls!" Originally he had nned to ambush him but now, since the timing has changed, he can only do this upfront!


    ¡°Who is it?!¡±


    It''s the scum male''s voice!


    ¡°Ah¡­ save us¡­ let, let go of my little sister¡­ ngh¡­¡±


    Fuck, it''s the voice of the female lead! It sounds like something''s wrong!


    He quickly took out a Yi Rong pill to disguise himself as an old man, and he patted Xiao Hei. ¡°Quickly roar, as fierce as you can, and make it loud!¡±


    Xiao Hei wagged his tail, obediently raised his head and let out an earth shaking roar that almost deafened the unprepared Ye Zhizhou.


    ¡°¡­Well done! When we go back, I''ll give you a snack¡±


    Xiao Hei delightfully let out an "awoo" .


    Thinking that it was a fun game, the little beast also wagged his tail, and roared in a tender little voice before turning around to look expectantly at Ye Zhizhou.


    ¡°Don''t butt in, go back to sleep.¡± Ignoring the little beast he pressed him back into his arms. Taking out his spray gun, he randomly sprayed at the old tree close to him. He also threw a few stinky eggs. As he threw these eggs, he yelled, ¡°You damn scum male! Let go of the younger sister!¡±


    [The probability of Jiang Yue and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Did he manage to hit the older sister? It seems that the scum man hasn''t seeded yet!


    He was startled before quickly throwing down a few more stinky eggs. Then he carefully focused his spiritual power around his body and continued to provoke him. ¡°Why don¡¯t youe out, you scum male! Do you have so little courage that you''re scared now? You have the courage to do bad things but no courage to appear?!¡±


    ¡°Where did this annoying buge from?!¡± Lian Yizheng finally emerged from the cover of the huge canopy. His clothes were a mess and he was also holding an unconscious beautiful girl with evil intentions written all over his face, "Mind your own business, fuck off!"


    Ye Zhizhou was angered to the point where the whites of his eyes could be seen. The protagonist of this world is rotten to the point where it couldn''t be concealed! Still acting so righteous and self confident while doing this kind of atrocious act. Even with this behavior of his, he still can get so many little brothers? The people in this world all have problems with their brains! Toozy to talk back to him, he took out the spray gun, aimed at the g man and continued spraying. He also ordered Xiao Hei to fly in a circle around him.


    With this many Qingxin pills, it''s not over until he sprays the protagonist into a eunuch!!


    Lian Yizheng sneered upon seeing this, raised a shield and sent the unknown powder back with disdain. "What a cowardly scoundrel, you think I would be fooled by these childish tricks? What kind of skill is hiding behind a beast? Get down here! ¡°


    Wuhun actually had this kind of use? It''s much better than his spiritual powers! Ye Zhizhou indignantly put away the spray gun, bowed his head and wildly searched his space, trying to find something that could hurt the protagonist.


    [Danger to host''s life detected.Does host want to receive the mission reward, a Huan Hun pill, in advance?]


    Why is his life in danger?


    Before he could understand, a violent force suddenly came at him from behind. Some of it was blocked by his spiritual power, but it still hit the middle of his back! He felt pain in his chest and abdomen, his throat started to ache. He lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face quickly paled.


    His spiritual power began to surge violently, he took out a pill and ate it, his gaze bing cold. This damned world where power is everything andws don''t exist so human life is as important as a strand of grass! It''s a miracle that this world hasn''t copsed yet!


    The little beast nestled in his arms was sshed by the blood he spat out. His red pupils shrank and the totem mark on his forehead shed with a golden light.


    ¡°It turned out to be some 9th level ck Rank trash.¡± The attack had seeded without any extra effort, letting the fear in his heart immediately subside. He carelessly threw the unconscious girl to the ground and pulled out a sword as he raised his head to look up at the motionless Xiao Hei in the sky. "I''ve never seen a monster like this before, if you''re not willing to leave, then you can both stay here forever!¡±


    The violent force once again came charging straight towards them. Just as Ye Zhizhou was preparing to use his spiritual power to turn the protagonist into a fool, regardless of mission rules, a ck fog suddenly emerged from Xiao Hei''s body. It then quickly surrounded them, swallowing the attack from the protagonist.


    What happened?


    ¡°A Shi Hun beast?!¡± Lian Yizheng''splexion greatly changed, looking terrified by the sky shrouded in ck fog. Grinding his teeth, he reluctantly looked at the unconscious girl on the ground before finally running away without looking back.


    The ck fog dissipated. Ye Zhizhou wiped the blood from his lower lip and his mouth tightened. ¡°Xiao Hei¡­ you seem to be very powerful¡­¡±


    Xiao Hei wagged his tail, cheerful and joyfully calling out a few "awoo" sounds. The little beast who was nestled in the arms of Ye Zhizhou also shook his tail, and the lighting from the totem mark on his forehead dimmed. He yawned, and snuggled deeper into Ye Zhizhou''s arms before closing his eyes and going to sleep.


    A girl wearing a green skirt staggered out from behind the tree, rushing over to the side of the unconscious girl, before turning to face Xiao Hei who was still in the air. She knelt and choked out between sobs, ¡°Thank you benefactor, for rescuing us. If benefactor had not arrived in time, my sister and I may have already been¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou patted Xiao Hei to indicate that he shouldnd. Afternding, he helped the girl up, took out two pills, and handed it over. ¡°Your bodies weakness is probably because of an aprosodic drug. This is an antidote, eat it.¡±


    Jiang Yue was so shocked by his appearance of white hair but childlikeplexion that she took the pill and fed it to her sister in a daze. Then, as if remembering something, she lowered her head and blushed before asking in a whisper, "Benefactor¡­earlier¡­ my appearance before¡­ did..did you¡­"


    ¡°No no, I saw nothing.¡± Ye Zhizhou was a little embarrassed after she said this. He pointed to the old tree canopy and exined. ¡°I was blocked by this. I didn¡¯t see anything, so please don''t worry."


    Jiang Yue''s flushed face improved after those words , and she awkwardly tugged at her sleeves in embarrassment. She smiled at him, and leaned over to carry her sister. She first introduced herself in a quiet voice before saying angrily, "My sister and I encountered a group of bandits that chased us before we met that man. I thought he could help me and my sister, but that person, after seeing that both my sister and I had been hit with the drug from the bandits, he actually, actually thought to¡­ He truly is a beast under a human mask. If I see him again I''ll castrate him!¡±


    [The probability of Jiang Yue falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 0%. Congrattions to the host for removing the first g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    ¡°¡­¡± This g is so easy to pull out. He hasn¡¯t even done anything yet. Even the most basic provoking speech hasn''t been spoken yet¡­ it''s so fast he found it a little unbelievable.


    The girl in Jiang Yue''s arms finally woke up and she first looked around in confusion. She ignored Ye Zhizhou and the two beasts, and held onto Jiang Yue while crying. ¡°Sister, what should I do? My innocence is gone¡­ wuwu, I don¡¯t want to marry that man, I just want to be with Sister¡­"


    ¡°Xiao Yun don''t worry, that beast didn''t seed!¡± Jiang Yue helped Jiang Yun wipe her tears, then bowed her head and kissed her forehead, her eyes tender. ¡°I also just want to be with you. Don¡¯t cry, our benefactor is still watching.¡±


    "Really?" Jiang Yun stopped crying and grabbed Jiang Yue''s sleeve questioning her again, "Sister, nothing happened to me? Then, can I still continue to like big sister, and not get married someone else?"


    Jiang Yue smiled apologetically at Ye Zhizhou, then gently touched her sister¡¯s face. ¡°Yes, my family''s Xiao Yun can do whatever she wants to in the future.¡±


    ¡°Ah! Thank god! Sister, I love you!¡±


    [The probability of Jiang Yun falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congrattions to the host for removing the second g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Jiang Yue helplessly patted the sister in her arms, her eyes were full of love and helpless pampering. ¡°En, you''re already this old and you''re still acting spoiled.This clingy personality of yours, I don¡¯t know which boy will be willing to marry you in the future.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want anyone else anyway!¡± Jiang Yun hugged Jiang Yue tighter and snuck a nce at Ye Zhizhou. The possessiveness in her eyes were so strong that it practically leaked out . ¡°I don¡¯t care, I don¡¯t want to marry anyone, and Sister is not allowed to marry either!¡±


    The innocent Ye Zhizhou that was red at, "¡­." He seems to have discovered something terrible¡­


    Numbly opening the plot information, his eyes stopped on the two sentences of "Jiang family adopted a woman named Jiang Yue¡± and ¡°Jiang Yun is very dependent on her sister Jiang Yue, always eating and sleeping together¡±. He quietly swallowed down a mouthful of blood.


    Suddenly, he became incapable of looking at the two sisters and the protagonist''s threesome in the original plot - it''s like a porn book.


    After sending the Jiang sisters to Lancheng safely, he continued his journey with aplex feeling of picking up a meat pie then conveniently watching a big show. Chasing the protagonist, he flew in the direction of Cangzhou.


    [Changes in the plot detected. Host, please receive the new plot.]


    Plot changes? He opened the plot information in confusion. ¡°Tongtian, isn''t the plot fixed? How can it change?¡±


    [Whether the plot changes depends on how strong the protagonist is.]


    Is that so? He frowned slightly and turned his attention to the new plot.


    The beginning content is no different from before, but in the part where the protagonist saves the Jiang sisters and then ****, there was a change. It turned into a situation where the protagonist was unable to save anyone and was instead injured by an evil person. The protagonist identally enters a vige called Tao Yuan deep in the mountains while escaping. In that small vige he then had a deep and meaningful encounter with the beautiful n leader¡­


    [Warning. the removed second g has been restored. Transferred to the soul of Wang Lian. Please take note, host..]


    Ye Zhizhou was stupefied. Even if the plot changed, how could the pulled out soul g be restored and transferred to others?!<hr ss="wp-block-separator">

 Chapter 67

    Trantor: Mina


    Editor: Divetus


    Proofreader: Padam


    This huge new development hit Ye Zhizhou head-on and he didn''t know what to think. He quickly instructed Xiao Hei to go back to the deep mountains outside of Lancheng.


    ording to the new plot, the protagonist will get lost deep in the mountains for two hours. Then, while drinking some water, he discovers and follows a viger''s lost pet through a waterfall and into a vige. The simple viger who was looking for their pet invited him into their home for a meal as thanks for finding their lost pet. The protagonist got dead drunk. After getting drunk and not sleeping well he went wandering around the vige and coincidentally found the small pavilion behind the vige, where the beautiful new n leader was sleeping. They then had sex¡­


    He turned off the screen, took off his warrior robes and reced them with a wide Changpao. He let down his hair and clumsily tied it up, swallowed a pill to change his voice and finally used a Yi Rong pill to change his appearance. A pitiful, humiliated young girl appeared.


    The little beast was awakened by his movements, and looked up at him, confused. He yelped and jumped out in horror. Half way through his jump, he stopped in doubt, looked at him carefully, approached closely to sniff and tilted his head, "Daddy? Mommy?"


    "¡­You better continue sleeping." Silently stuffing him back into his arms, he waited until they were near the waterfall before having Xiao Heind. He took a few steps before covering his head and rushing through the waterfall and into the entrance behind it.


    After calcting the time, he figured that the protagonist should have begun to sway around in the vige. He loosened his cor and rushed to the back of the vige, anxiously searching for the small pavilion where the protagonist and the vige leader will have sex. But it was too dark, and the houses in the vige were very scattered, making it hard to distinguish between the front and back of the vige.


    He looked for another five minutes, but still failed to find them. He frowned and wondered what to do. He then decided to just yell, ¡°Help! There''s a flower thief<sup>[1]</sup>, help!!¡±


    The quiet vige instantly became lively. The vigers rushed out of their houses in a hurry, asking each other what happened while carrying a weapon to catch the flower thief.


    ¡°Uncle!¡± Ye Zhizhou seized the viger who arrived the fastest. He asked urgently. ¡°May I ask if a young man wearing a ck robe came here this afternoon?¡±


    The viger saw his messed up clothes and his anxious frightened face, and was unable to care about the fact that his face was unfamiliar. He frowned and worriedly asked, "Miss, did you run into some trouble? Why are your clothes like this? The vige did have such a guest this afternoon, and he was invited by Li Laosan into his home to eat and drink. Why are you asking this?¡±


    ¡°This is bad!¡± He squeezed out an anxious, ashamed and resentful expression, and brokenly said, ¡°That man, that man is a flower thief! Just look at me¡­ ¡­Aiya, I can¡¯t let that man off. Just now I vaguely saw a man who looked like him head in the direction of the small pavilion behind the vige, I¡­¡±


    ¡°The pavilion behind the vige?¡± The viger¡¯splexion greatly changed and he quickly turned around to face the other vigers that had just rushed up and yelled, ¡°Go to the small pavilion, quickly! The n leader is still there! The n leader just advanced in rank and is still weak, don¡¯t let that evildoer hurt her!¡±


    The vigers were shocked by these words. With serious expressions they rushed in the direction of the pavilion.


    So it was actually in the other direction, no wonder he couldn''t find it! Ye Zhizhou inwardly scorned his sense of direction, before lifting his robes to follow behind them.


    The protagonist once again appeared in front of him with his clothes in disarray. Laid in the pavilion behind him was an unconscious beautiful girl with her outer robes taken off, revealing her white inner clothes.


    The vigers were first shocked and then furious, Ye Zhizhou quickly went forward to help the girl straighten her clothes.


    ¡°It is really a flower thief! We must tie him up and send him the n hall to be punished!¡±


    ¡°We received you kindly in vain, you must be punished!¡±


    ¡°You really can''t judge a man''s heart from his face, he looked like a decent person but actually turned out to be like this!¡±


    ¡­


    A variety of condemnation mixed together like a noise humming in his ears. Lian Yizheng who had his happy asion interrupted and was then cursed at by the vigers was extremely restless. His Wuhun unconsciously came out and he shouted, ¡°Who wants your hospitality! You''re merely a group ofmoners who haven''t awakened your Wuhun. You actually dare to bother me about my business?"


    The vigers were angered by these words, but because they were suppressed by his Wuhun, they could not step forward at all.


    ¡°Who dares to be impudent in my Taoyuan Vige!¡± An old angry voice followed by a violent force came from behind the crowd, and the vigers'' expressions all brightened up. They quickly parted to let the elder through, and one after another called out, ¡°The elder is here! Elder, this person wants to humiliate the n leader!¡±


    An old man with white hair and a white beard holding a cane walked up, and his eyes looked sharply at Lian Yizheng. He tapped his cane gently to the ground, easily smashing the Wuhun that Lian Yizheng was using to suppress the vigers. He coldly sneered, ¡°You''ve only learned some superficial Wu warrior skills and you already dare to be so arrogant. Today I''ll definitely to teach you a lesson!¡±


    Lian Yizheng was unable to move a single step as he was forced to stay in his original position by the pressure of the force sent by the elder. Hisplexion changed many times before he finally backed down. After cupping his fist in respect, he began to exin, ¡°It''s all a misunderstanding. I didn''t mean to humiliate your n leader, that pavilion¡­¡±


    "Ah- !¡±


    The girl''s indignant shriek interrupted him mid-sentence. Ye Zhizhou''s cheeks flushed with anger after listening to him while helping Wang Lian up. He looked at Lian Yizheng and angrily said, ¡°You''re still trying to argue! Sister Wang Lian''s robes have already been taken off by you. What are you still trying to argue about?!¡±


    Wang Lian tightly grasped the cor of her clothes, and the anger on her beautiful face made her look more gorgeous as she shouted. "Lecher! You dare humiliate me, ??Wang Lian? I want you to die horribly!¡±

    [The probability of Wang Lian falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    He likes this kind of hot tempered sister!


    Ye Zhizhou continued to fan the mes. ¡°This person previously passed through Lancheng and wanted to do unspeakable things to a pair of sisters. Later, he was found out by someone and beaten away. Afterwards, he once again also wanted to harass me¡­ we can¡¯t let him go. If we let him go, who knows how many girls will be harmed by him in the future!¡±


    Lian Yizheng heard this and turned around to face him, angered to the point where his eyebrows were nted. ¡°Where did this silly little girle from? Why would I be interested in your bean sprout like figure? Pei! Why don''t you look in the mirror first to see if you actually are worthy!¡±


    [The probability of Wang Lian falling in love with the protagonist has fallen to 0%. Congrattions to the host for removing the second g, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Wang Lian pulled Ye Zhizhou behind her to protect him, so angry that she didn''t want to talk anymore. She directly pulled out a soft whip from her waist to start attacking! When Lian Yizheng saw this, he wanted to take out a sword to resist, but he was so pressured by the force of a soft cough from the elder that he was unable to even have the strength to resist.


    <em><strong>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</strong></em>


    Crack!


    The sound of the whip on his flesh was resounding and crisp, Ye Zhizhou found it very pleasant to hear! With the help of the elder, Wang Lian and Lian Yizheng''s fight became a one sided beating, and not even a whileter Lian Yizheng fainted, his whole body covered in bloody lines. When Wang Lian saw this, she simply used the whip to grab his leg,dragged him to the vige entrance, and threw him out!


    Ye Zhizhou looked stunned and apuded in his heart. Well done! That''s the way to treat scum men just like this!


    ¡°Let''s close the entrance. This kind of trouble happened only a few days after opening the gate.¡± The elder suddenly spoke, then looked at Ye Zhizhou, handed over a cloth bag, and kindly said, ¡°Thank you for today¡¯s help, this is a little thank you gift, hope that maiden does not dislike it. ¡±


    What''s there toin about, he wanted to give these lovely vigers some gifts. After receiving the thank-you gift he tactfully said goodbye. The vigers were worried that he would be in danger going out alone at night. They wanted to send someone to send him off. He smiled and refused, only saying that he had the protection of his family''s high-level monster. The elder didn¡¯t feel assured and followed him, but when he saw Xiao Hei who was sitting not far from the entrance his face suddenly changed. After throwing down his cane, he shook his head and sighed as he walked away. ¡°This world is going to be chaotic again¡­¡±


    <em><strong>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</strong></em>


    Ye Zhizhou picked up the cane and chased after the old man, but found that the old man who seemed to be walking slowly was actually very fast. After a few steps, he disappeared behind the waterfall and when Ye Zhizhou ran up to look, he couldn''t find the entrance to the Taoyuan Vige on the smooth mountain wall.


    ¡°Weird old man¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t understand the meaning of thest sentence of the elder. He put the cane into the space and nced at the protagonist lying on the grass. Heughed darkly.. ¡°You actually fell into my hands. I really want to just kill you¡­¡±


    [External forces killing the protagonist will cause the small world to copse, please calm down host.]


    ¡°Ok, ok, I got it.¡± Putting away the knife he had taken out, he took out a vial with the zombie virus that had been modified, squinted his eyes, and holding back his nausea he injected it into the protagonist''s three inch ¡õ¡õ .


    ¡°I''ll let you off this time! This locally effective medicine is one of a kind!¡± It was made by Zhong Qiu for fun when he was bored. Let''s see how you''ll ruin girls in the future with this rotten crime tool!


    [The probability of Ji Mengxue, Hong Yin, Ao Feng, Lian Hua falling in love with the protagonist dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Satisfiedly taking back the needle, he hesitated, then gave up the idea of helping the protagonist go to heaven. He climbed onto Xiao Hei''s back and left the forest without looking back, heading in the direction of Cangzhou.


    For the time being, he does not need to worry too much about the protagonist. It is time for him to stir up trouble on the female leads'' side.


    The little beast that was hiding in his arms silently poked out his head and looked at the direction of Taoyuan Vige. He doubtfully sniffed at the space tattoo on his wrist. He "wuwu" twice before closing his eyes and going back to sleep.

    The rich Wuhun along with numerous mountains and monsters makes Cangzhou one of the most suitable cities to cultivate at in Hua Country.


    The past few days while Ye Zhizhou hastened his journey, he gained more knowledge about the world. He already became aware of Xiao Hei''s uniqueness, thus, didn''t dare to ride Xiao Hei openly in public. He asked Tongtian for a disguise talisman and hung it on Xiao Hei''s neck to change Xiao Hei''s appearance to the most ordinary LingXi<sup>[2]</sup> monster.


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°Tongtian, I can¡¯t imagine how I would continue this task without you. You see, you give me pills and then a talisman, like an omnipotent immortal. No matter what I want, you can give it to me.¡±

    [Just say one word, learn or not]


    Ye Zhizhou knocked on the mirror with an unyielding spirit, shaking his head, ¡°No human wouldn¡¯t want to learn! Please give me a copy of this skill!¡± This practical ability of the pill refinement must be learned! He must learn!


    The small mirror twisted in his hand and then a screen popped up. [There is not enough authority to learn these skills. Please focus on the mission, host. ]


    ¡°¡­¡± Bastard! It was actually just baiting him!


    Xianwu College is the aspiration of all Wu users in Hua Country. As long as you have enough talent or strength to meet the standards, its door will always be open for you, along with the ess to use the endless resources¡ª as long as you earn enough school contribution points.


    Ye Zhizhou stood in front of the domineering gate of Xianwu College. He watched the many students exuding all kinds of strong aurase and go and then confidently entered the door. An hourter, he sullenly came out. He looked at his palm doubtfully, and pressed hard on the small ball of fire in his Dantian. He frowned and sat on the flowerbed near the gate, full of questions in his mind. How did the detector not detect his aptitude, is that rotten detector broken? The effect of Xi Sui pill was so strong, and the small fireball in his dantian was not a fake. How can this body still have the aptitude of an ordinary person?


    The little beast nestled in his armszily rolled around and then purred happily.


    He watched the reporting students enter one after another. His expression became more and more bitter and his eyes became increasingly empty. How would he proceed with the g pulling without entering the school, the protagonist and the remaining female leads are all in the college¡­


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    He nced carelessly between the scattered vendors'' stalls gathered at the entrance. His eyes lit up and he quickly looked through his space. He took out the jewelry that he received as a mishap when he was a Wangfei, tidied them and finally settled down.


    What do most girls love? Clothes, cosmetics, jewelry, and purses! Although the sisters of this warrior world don¡¯t pay much attention to clothing, don''t carry purses, and have only basic cosmetics, what girl would not have jewelry? While it''s usually not convenient to wear jewelry when practicing, there are still times when they asionally go out shopping, wouldn''t they need to dress up then? As long as he makes good use of it, this pile of jewelry in his space will no longer be a waste, but rather a bridge and shortcut for him to get to know the female leads!


    As soon as he had this thought, he did it! He pulled a thin nket from his space andid it on the floor. He picked out a few rather exquisite and delicate earrings and disyed them on the nket. Then he took out a shing seven colored tablemp and set it on the corner of the nket. He then reflected on his thoughts before clearing his throat and loudly yelling, ¡°Come take a look here! Girls, if you fight, you absolutely need these earrings, guarantee that they catch the enemy¡¯s eyes!¡±


    The advertisement was so bold that several of the girls passing by stopped immediately and curiously walked over as they were attracted by the colorful tablemp. .


    When customers walked up, he greeted them with enthusiasm. Completely abandoning his shame, he held up the jewelry while enthusiastically praising it and wildly rambled on. Then, he smoothly pulled out the sleepy little beast, lifted him up and said, ¡°Asking sisters to help spread the word about me in the college. I wille here every day to set up a stall. Look at this little beast I''m raising, he eats a lot! I have to earn money to feed him.¡±


    The little beast indignantly sputtered before turning to bite him.


    The girls were amused by him, and charmed by the cute little beast. Holding the earrings they bought, they promised to help him spread the word.


    The goods that were put out did not take long to sell out, except for a few pairs that were particrly good-looking but also expensive. Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied with this. In the following days, those pair of earrings were marked with a sky high price and ced in the most eye catching position.


    Three dayster, the protagonist entered the school and the reporting period for students ended. Ye Zhizhou put away the stall and counted the money he earned in the past few days from selling earrings here, and from the jewelry he auctioned off anonymously at the auction house. He boldly bought a two-storey storefront on the nearest street from Xianwu College and began to sell limited quantity jewelry.


    A monthter, Hong Yin, one of the female leads, took the initiative toe in.


    Hong Yin is an eighth level, Earth Rank warrior. She¡¯s Xianwu College¡¯s newest teacher this year, she looks ordinary, but has a hot body¡ªan older sister type.


    After reading the information in his head, Ye Zhizhou smiled and stepped forward to greet her, ¡°Miss, what are you looking for? I have all kinds of jewelry, I guarantee that you can find something to your liking!¡±


    ¡°Oh?¡± Hong Yin looked at him with a smile and raised her hand to make an eye digging gesture, ¡°Recently I''ve gained a student that sticks to me everyday and I''m very troubled. Is there any kind of jewelry that is a concealed weapon? It would be best if it was the kind that can be used to kill people but is hard to be discovered.¡±


    Teacher, this idea of yours is very dangerous.


    Having a general idea of who the student was, he quickly became more lively and eagerly nodded his head. ¡°The concealed weapon type jewelry, of course! But the style is rtively cold and stiff, does this bother you, miss?¡± These concealed weapon type jewelry were all taken from the royal guard¡¯s<sup>[3]</sup> small warehouse, all of them can kill people invisibly! If the female lead brought one back, used it and identally killed the protagonist¡­ That picture was so beautiful he couldn¡¯t help but want to drool!


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    ¡°You really do have it, ah.¡± Hong Yin frowned, suddenly nced at him and sighed, ¡°I lost the bet, ah, it seems that this jewelry has to be bought now.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou returned from his beautiful fantasy, blinking in confusion.


    ¡°Don''t mind me little boss, my student and I had a bet. She said that your jewelry collection was veryprehensive and you could find whatever you want. I didn¡¯t believe her, so I bet with her and promised to buy her jewelry if I lost. As you can see, I lost.¡± Hong Yin smiled helplessly, but her eyes looked indulging. After saying this she turned her head and shouted at someone outside the store, ¡°Alright, stop hiding. Come in and pick what you want. Whatever set you like, I''ll buy for you.¡±


    ¡°Yinyin is the best.¡± A tall girl with long hair that was half tied up smiled as she walked into the store, intimately holding on to Hong Yin''s arm as she waved at Ye Zhizhou. ¡°Hello little boss, I heard that you have several sets of high-priced jewellery. Can I have a look?¡±


    Tall, smiles easily, extermely rich, likes to wear dark gold warrior robes, and good-looking. Xianwu College Junior ss A''s ss flower and the college goddess, the eldest granddaughter of the Royal city¡¯s top family Ji family, and one of the female leads, Ji Mengxue.


    Very good, summoning two female leads in one go.


    He nodded, took out several boxes and two crystal cards from behind the counter andughed, ¡°Here¡¯s the jewelry, you two take your time. In addition, every seven days our store will hold a storytelling meeting. Members will be admitted free of charge with their cards. These are membership cards, I hope that the two of you will do me the honor of attending at that time.¡±


    Ji Mengxue¡¯s heart was focused on jewelry andpletely didn''t take note of the cards right beside¡­But Hong Yin, who was greatly interested, picked up the cards and looked at them. She asked, ¡°Storytelling meeting? What kind of stories?


    ¡°There are all kinds of stories, depending on the guest''s preferences.¡±


    ¡°Are there horror stories? I''ll bring my girlfriend to attend at that time, you get it, right..?"


    ¡°¡­ There is.¡± Teacher, you understand too well.


    ¡°Then it''s settled. I¡¯ll definitely be there!¡±


    Ji Mengxue quickly finished picking jewelry and Hong Yin hurriedly made a gesture to keep quiet towards him. After paying the bill, she took the card and the jewelry box and left hand in hand with Ji Mengxue.


    Ye Zhizhou collected the money, doubtfully scratching his hair. In his heart he felt like there was something wrong, but what on earth was it? His gaze swept over the advertising board specially designed for the storytelling meeting, had a ''eureka'' moment'' and eximed in shock, ¡°Bring a girlfriend?!¡±, what girlfriend does Hong Yin, a girl, have?! Was it a slip of the tongue¡­ Just now Ji Mengxue and Hong Yin were really intimate¡­ No, no. Maybe it¡¯s a best-friends kind of love? Suddenly, Jiang Yue and Jiang Yun¡¯s faces shed through his mind. He wiped his face and refused to guess any more.


    If it is really is like that¡­ so the protagonist of this world prefers to collect beautiful lilies<sup>[4]</sup>?


    A week after Hong Yin and Ji Mengxue appeared, the other two female leads, Lian Hua and Ao Feng, finally showed up. Ye Zhizhou took the opportunity to promote the membership card and storytelling meeting to the two. Another weekter, the already impotent protagonist came to his jewelry shop with a round face girl. He still gave them a membership card, and he hoped that the sister next to the protagonist would quickly see the truth and leave the protagonist.


    Another seven days passed. Ye Zhizhou sorted out the manuscript, looked at the four female leads who had finally arrived, and then at the Lian Yizheng, who had apanied the sister in the corner. He confidently touched the disguise on his face, tapped the improvised gavel a few times and smiled, ¡°Today, we won''t be talking about ''The Overbearing Martial Arts Warrior Fell in Love with Me'', or ''The End of the Decade Long Sad Love'', and of course, not about the ''Return to the Past as the Strongest'' kind of stories¡­ Everyone, let''s not be impatient. Today we are telling a new story. It is a more practical story, called ''Torture and Kill the Scum Man'', I hope everyone likes it.¡±


    The female leads'' eyes brightened, while the protagonist frowned silently.


    Ye Zhizhou nced at him from the corner of his eye, sneered, organized his thoughts and then began to speak.


    It is said that there was a good for nothing protagonist. One day, he unexpectedly gained a holy cultivation book and suddenly became a genius. After his strength increased dramatically, he first ruined the appearance of his fiancee, and then seized the innocence of a pair of sisters. After getting into the top college, he did not concentrate on his studies. Instead, he spent a lot of time chatting up the ss flower, fooling around with the teacher and flirting with other sisters in his spare time. He held a prominent miss on his left arm and a cool beauty on his right arm. His days passed by very cheerfully. Because of his cultivation method, these girls were all devoted to him, and did not care that they were sharing him with others.


    The girls became angry as they listened to the passage. They all cursed the scum man to die a horrible death. The deceived girls were too stupid! The protagonist felt secretly pleased as he listened and gave Ye Zhizhou a tip for the first time.


    Hong Yin and Ji Mengxue who hade in contact with the protagonist before, pondered the content of the passage in the plot and nced at Lian Yizheng in the corner. They meaningfully coughed twice before bowing their heads to drink tea.


    After indicating that everyone should not be restless, Ye Zhizhou paused and continued, ¡°Of course, this so-called perfect love achieved by external forces will notst forever. Ladies, love can not be shared. Who does not yearn for a future as a life-long couple?¡±


    In the corner, Saint Lian Hua, whose face was sheathed by a veil, thought for a moment before gradually bing firm and standing up to say, ¡°Yes, why can a man marry so many wives, but a woman has no way to resist? Some women are bound by their identities all their lives. They can¡¯t even experience love! It¡¯s not fair! This kind of thinking is poisonous! It¡¯s eroding our freedom and soul little by little!¡±


    [The probability of Lian Hua falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Hong Yin put down her tea cup, nced at the ck face of Lian Yizheng in the corner, and coolly said, ¡°That''s right, especially those unfaithful men who flirt around. If the girls don¡¯t expose him, they continue to think that they are smart and amazing. So disgusting.¡±


    ¡°Even when they don''t have human morals, they still strut around so cockily¡­¡± Ji Mengxue added in a low voice, causing Hong Yin to lower her gaze and smile at her.


    [The probability of Hong Yin, Ji Mengxue and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 20%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Lian Yizheng''s face reddened with indignation for a bit but then turned white, looking very ugly. The thought of his body''s unexpected problem sullenly made him press his anger down.


    ¡°Is there such a man in the world?¡± Ao Feng¡¯s eyebrows slightly raised and snorted. ¡°In any case, I, Ao Feng look down on that kind of trash! Even if I lose my innocence like thedies in the plot, I can feed myself and have enough strength. I will kill the scum man and live a happy life of my own."


    [The probability of Ao Feng and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    <strong><em>Originally posted at matchtions(.)wordpress(., please read there</em></strong>


    The first provoking speech actually received such a good effect, Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied. He quickly and gently appeased the angered sisters, and after they calmed down, finished telling the remaining part of the story of killing the scum male in brilliant detail.


    The storytelling meeting ended satisfactorily. The girls were all in high spirits. Lian Yizheng kept a calm face but threw an eerie stare at Ye Zhizhou before he left.


    Ye Zhizhou acted like he did not see it at all, but pulled Hong Yin aside as she passed by him. ¡°The one in the ck robe is a student in your ss? Is his name Lian Yizheng?


    ¡°That¡¯s his name.¡± Hong Yin frowned with disgust in her eyes. ¡°That student¡¯s character is somewhat questionable¡­ Why did you ask about him?


    Ye Zhizhou looked carefully around him and lowered his voice to exin, ¡°To tell you the truth, today¡¯s story was inspired by him. I had a rtivee to see me from the Imperial City and told me a few things about him, plus what you said before¡­ You and Mengxue should be more careful. I don¡¯t think he¡¯s a good person. Just now, he looked at me with a terrible look in his eyes.


    Hong Yin was surprised, ¡°The protagonist destroying the appearance of his fiancee and forcefully taking the innocence of the two sisters in the first half of the story actually happened? All done by Lian Yizheng?¡±


    ¡°It happened, but he didn''t actually seed. Those two beautiful sisters happened to be saved by my good friend.¡± After a pause, he added, ¡°The two sisters, named Jiang Yue and Jiang Yun, are from Liuzhou. They once had a saint in their family and are very famous in the local area. This can be found just by asking around. Also, Lian Yizheng tried to take advantage of a young female n leader, but waster discovered by her vigers, who whipped him and then threw him out. Did he have whip injuries when he went to register at the school?


    Hong Yin''s face sank and she pounded the table angrily. ¡°Outrageous! I thought he was just a slightly promiscuous student, but I didn¡¯t think it was actually like this! How can the college just randomly ept this kind of student. Why does the government not do something about this unruly person!"


    Ji Mengxue, who was looking at new jewelry, was rmed by her rarely seen anger. She walked over and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What made you so angry?"


    ¡°I¡¯ll tell youter.¡± Hong Yin softened her expression, stroked her hair and continued to ask while looking at Ye Zhizhou, ¡°Did those girls not report it? As long as it is reported to the officials, I can have the college expel him."


    ¡°How to report to it? No one has evidence, and he¡¯s still a member of the Lian family¡­ With the support of his family, who dares to rashly offend the Lian family? What¡¯s more, Lian Yizheng is now a genius with Sky Rank talent and has a pure Wu body. This kind of genius, who the higher-ups would select, even if you used your toes to think you already know who they would pick. The people around him can only be more careful." Ye Zhizhou purposely sighed helplessly, ¡°Moreover, I just heard that you should pay more attention. I tell you this story today to make you girls be more vignt.¡±


    ¡°You have good intentions.¡± Hong Yin also felt helpless when she heard his words, ¡°Why did it have to be a pure Wu body, those old fossils at the college¡­ah¡­¡±


    Ji Mengxue looked at one and then the other and couldn''t helpughing, ¡°Eh, what are you guys worrying about? Did you forget who my family is? Just a small Lian family, if he really didmit a crime even if there are ten Lian families, they won''t be able to help him cover it up! Isn''t it just a pure Wu body, there''s plenty of them. It''s not like he''s a heavenly saint. Okay, Yinyin don''t worry anymore, you being like this hurts my heart.¡±


    [The probability of Ji Mengxue and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The third soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host. ]


    Ye Zhizhou turned his head to look at her with his thoughts whirling in his head. Ji family, the oldest superrge family in Hua country, produces a heavenly saint in each generation¡­ Does his lover belong to this Ji family?<hr ss="wp-block-separator">

 Chapter 68

    Trantor: Mina


    Editor: Divetus


    Proofreader: Padam


    Due to his concerned thoughts about his lover¡¯s identity, he slept anxiously that night with vague nightmares. Sensing his emotions, the little beast and Xiao Hei whined on the bed and outside the door, looking pitiful and adorable.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine, you guys be good.¡± He might as well stay awake. He got up and opened the door to let Xiao Hei in, then turned back to the bed and sat down. He pet the two beasts, then gathered the little beast in his arms and pinched his ears, his eyes holding a bit of worry, ¡°Are you like this because your original injury was very serious? It''s too bad that Tongtian cannot figure out what your problem is from scanning you. I don''t dare to feed you random pills¡­.. Ji Huaijin, if you can understand me,e out and see me. I¡¯m very worried."


    Xiao Hei echoed his sentiment with an ''awoo''


    The little beast¡¯s ears twitched but his eyes still showed confusion. His tail happily coiled around Ye Zhizhou¡¯s wrist and he focused on stuffing himself in his arms.


    ¡°You heartless guy.¡± He hugged the beast tightly, bowed his head to kiss him and thenid back on the bed. ¡°Does this mean I am going to have to raise my lover as my son or a pet in this life¡­"


    Suddenly feeling a weight on his body, paired with the strand of silvery hair that swept to the side of his face, he snapped his head up to see a handsome silver-haired male expressionlessly sitting on his waist.. Being stark narked, he opened his mouth to vulgarly say ¡°Xiao Yuan, you are still too young, not suited for mating¡±


    What the hell?


    Ye Zhizhou got up and threw himself into Ji Huaijin¡¯s arms as he grabbed the ears on top of his head while saying, ¡°You still know how to appear!¡±


    ¡°I agree to be your lover.¡± Ji Huaijin embraced him and bowed his head to let him pinch his ears. His tail swept in front of him to block his important bits, ¡°My back, my soul, only belongs to you.¡±


    He was puzzled, ¡°Your back?¡±


    ¡°Once I recover, you don''t need to ride on the Shihun beast when you travel anymore. The negative qi on his body is too strong, he''s not suitable to be a mount.¡±


    Xiao Hei let out a grieving ¡®awoo¡¯ and leaned over to arch against him.


    Ji Huaijin patted him catingly and then gave a thread of his original energy to Xiao Hei, who felt like he hit the jackpot. He tactfully ran out of the room to absorb it andid down in the living room to digest.


    Ye Zhizhou turned his head to look at Xiao Hei bewilderedly, ¡°What did you give him? He looks so happy.¡±


    ¡°A little reward.¡± Ji Huaijin brought his head back to him, looked at him with a slight frown and asked, ¡°Are you dealing with the Lian family?¡±


    ¡°You know?¡± He was surprised, and then his expression became a little strange. ¡°When you transform into the little beast, aren¡¯t you very stupi¡ª¡­ Ah, really childish and cute?¡± With a foolish look like you don¡¯t know anything¡­.


    ¡°I know things, but I can¡¯t control my body. I can only let my body''s instincts control it.¡± Ji Huaijin turned over and gathered him into his arms and stroked his hair. ¡°Xiao Yuan, there¡¯s something strange on Lian Yizheng''s body. Don¡¯t get too close to him. Wait until I recover, I¡¯ll help you deal with him.¡±


    ¡°Something strange? In what aspect?¡± Ye Zhizhou thought of Ji Mengxue''s words from this afternoon and promptly asked, ¡°Are you from the Ji family of the Imperial City? There are saints in every generation of their family.¡±


    ¡°Not quite.¡± Ji Huaijin frowned. ¡°I belong to the main family, while the imperial city''s Ji family belongs to the branch family. Back then, the reason why Ji Quan plotted against me was to fight for the family position and resources. As for what''s strange about Lian Yizheng¡­ I smelled Ji Quan¡¯s scent on him, but it¡¯s been 100 years since Ji Quan died. He should have already entered the reincarnation cycle long ago. The specific details will have to wait until I fully recover, and can go to investigate. Before that, Xiao Yuan, you can''t do anything rash. Right now, my powers are at most up to the third tier, it might not be enough to protect you."


    Ye Zhizhou went through the plot over and over again in his mind, and suddenly remembered the ce where the protagonist had acquired the sacred cultivation book. He asked quickly, ¡°Do you know of a ce called Heilian Peak? That¡¯s where Lian Yizheng got his cultivation method."


    ¡°Heilian Peak?¡± He seems to have recalled something, as Ji Huajin¡¯s expression sank sharply while his body emit a strong sense of oppression. ¡°In that ce there is an ancient broken forbidden array. Legends say it can revive a person, but the details as to how it works were lost. Ji Quan fled in the direction of that ce after I seriously injured him. If he actually did use that forbidden array by force¡­ Before it can be activated, the forbidden array needs the sacrifice of eighteen close blood rtives. That goddamn Ji Quan! He''s seriously gone insane,pletely inhumane!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou quickly embraced andforted him, his heart feeling a bit heavy. Lian Yizheng¡¯s cultivation really is entric. He thought about it for a while, but still could not wrap his head around it. If the purpose of Lian Yizheng¡¯s cultivation is to help revive Ji Quan¡­


    ¡°Xiao Yuan, be careful.¡± Ji Huajin lowered his head and abruptly kissed his forehead. After a burst of golden light, there was nothing under Ye Zhizhou''s legs, and he dropped onto the bed in a sitting position. He looked down to see the silly little beast lying prone on the bed, looking at him foolishly. The little beast let out an ¡°awoo¡± before happily arching towards his embrace. ¡°Daddy!¡±


    The identity switching always happens too suddenly making it hard for him to prepare for it¡­. Holding the little beast tightly, heid down on the bed. He opened the system information, no longer skipping the porn book section, and carefully examined it word by word. The Demon King killing the protagonist¡¯s children at the end of the story always gave him an indescribable feeling. Now he knows that the Demon King is actually Ji Huaijin, and Ji Huaijin and Ji Quan have an old history between them. The protagonist¡¯s cultivation method was also very likely from the forbidden array and Ji Quan¡­


    If everything done by the protagonist after his rebirth was in order to resurrect Ji Quan¡­ What did the protagonist do after his rebirth?If everything done by the protagonist after his rebirth was in order to resurrect Ji Quan¡­ What did the protagonist do after his rebirth? First, revenge on his fiancee who had withdrawn her engagement; <span>then to raise eyebrows and breathe and gain a lot of attention from his family; spread his name everywhere, and attend the best school. Later, he beds girls nonstop¡­ After sleeping with six sisters, he began to concentrate on his cultivation. A few yearster, he went from Earth Rank to Saint Rank, and the female leads also quickly broke through to Saint Rank. Then in the same year, all of the female leads gave birth to a child for him¡­


    A thought shed through his mind, and he quickly brought out the aptitude of the female leads and their ranks when they met the protagonist. After an analysis, he frowned fiercely. When the female leads encountered the protagonist, there was arge strength gap between them. The strongest one, Hong Yin, had already reached the eighth level of Earth rank. If she kept on training she would soon break through to Sky rank. The weakest two sisters, Jiang Yun and Jiang Yue, were only ninth level of the ck rank, but they were all, without exception, the inheritors of orthodox martial arts . Their strength is all cultivated bit by bit by themselves, extremely different from the protagonist who needed to use double cultivation to improve his strength significantly. Most importantly, they were all born with an innate talent to reach Sky Rank!


    Flipping through the plot information, he carefully checked the female leads'' cultivation situation after meeting the protagonist, and his face becamepletely ck. After getting into a rtionship with Hong Yin, the protagonist was very infatuated with her for a while, pestering her every day, and ignoring the two sisters Jiang Yun and Jiang Yue. It was during this period that the protagonist¡¯s cultivation began to advance rapidly, while Hong Yin, who had signs of a breakthrough, suddenly stagnated. No matter how hard she cultivated, she did not improve until the protagonist''s affection shifted to Ji Mengxue. Only then did she slowly start to recover.


    This kind of situation where a female lead experienced their cultivation stagnating after getting into a rtionship with the protagonist happened more than once. After entering a rtionship with the protagonist, both Ao Feng and Lian Hua experienced this stagnation. At that time, the women had thought it was caused by an idental pregnancy¡­ So the protagonist¡¯s cultivation method is not a double-cultivation method at all, but the most disgusting arts of stealing another''s cultivation and making it his own! Hong Yin and the other female lead''s cultivation stagnated because their Wuhun, which they painstakingly cultivated, was again and again stolen by the protagonist during <i>papapa</i>!


    Ye Zhizhou turned off the screen angrily. He was fuming with anger, close to having smoke spew from his ears ! No wonder the protagonist needed so many wives¡ªit was in fear of identally taking too much from one of them permanently hurting their root¡ªso have them take turns, right? Scum protagonist! And the fact that the women had children right after entering Saint Rank, most probably had something to do with the protagonist''s forbidden array! It''s simply extremely disgusting!


    Suddenly, the little beast sleeping in his arms opened his eyes, got up and lowered his body while making a threatening growl towards the window. Xiao Hei, who was lying in the living room, also shot up. His body was quickly surrounded by a thin fog and he stood in front of Ye Zhizhou, facing the window in front of him vigntly.


    He frowned and also looked out the window.


    Right now was the darkest time of the morning. It was pitch ck outside the window, making it difficult to discern anything. The spiritual energy he sent out found nothing wrong. Remembering Lian Yizheng¡¯s eerie expression when he left this afternoon, he became alert and quietly took out a long sword from his space and tightly grasped it in his hand.


    During this period, his strength has improved rapidly, but he is still a little unfamiliar with the maniption of Wuhun, if it was the protagonist who came¡­ He hoped that he had the strength to put up a fight.


    ¡°It really is you! Why did youe here, what do you want to do?¡¯


    ¡°Mind your own business and fuck off! ¡°


    ¡°Today, I want to mind your business!¡±


    [The probability of Hong Yin and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fourth soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts]


    Hong Yin?


    He quickly stuffed the little beast into his arms, patted Xiao Hei to cate him, opened the room''s window and jumped down directly. The two people''s voices just now were clearly Hong Yin and Lian Yizheng. Why was Hong Yin here in the middle of the night?


    In the dark alley behind the shop, Hong Yin had already started to fight with Lian Yizheng. Although both of them were Earth Rank and Hong Yin had slightly higher strength, the way the protagonist fought was more unorthodox, making it difficult for her. Ye Zhizhou turned himself andnded on the ground, sending his spiritual power to attack the protagonist without saying a word. At the same time, he also mobilized the small fireball in his Dantian and directed the unfamiliar power into his hands. He guided the power into the long sword aimed at the protagonist and fiercely attacked him.


    ¡°Another Earth Rank?¡± Lian Yizheng who was attacked from two sides, found himself stuck in a difficult situation. When he turned to look at the one who had ambushed him, he found it was actually the jewelry store¡¯s little boss. His expression twisted for a moment. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you''re also a Wu user!¡±


    Hong Yin was also somewhat surprised, and then she snorted happily. She said, ¡°Little boss''s disguise is so good, even I didn¡¯t realize your identity as a Wu user This bastard snuck in here to harm you, and I caught him red-handed while I was here. What will you do? How about castrating him?


    Why does everyone want to castrate the protagonist? Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes showed a slight smile. He raised the sword in his hand with his lips curved up. ¡°With pleasure.¡± Although he has been castrated already.


    Lian Yizheng¡¯s sore spot was poked as he listened to them talk about castrating him. Angered, he rushed forward to attack them without a care. Hong Yin rushed forward to block it. Ye Zhizhou knew that although he had the strength, he had no skills. He was just a flower vase, so he stood away from the fight and just threw in a few blows once in a while.


    After getting wounded in session, Lian Yizheng couldn¡¯t help shouting angrily, ¡°Two against one, despicable!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and threw another blow.


    Hong Yin recognized that the other party was still a student of Xianwu College. She did not aim to hurt him when she attacked him. After she immobilized him, she tied him up and easily knocked him unconscious.Then she grabbed him by some loose hair and looked at Ye Zhizhou to say, ¡°This person, I¡¯ll send him to the college''s istion room for a while. I¡¯ll see if I can report him to an official or expel him out of school.¡±


    ¡°It''s been hard on you¡± Ye Zhizhou put away his sword and made a warrior salute to her. ¡°Thank you so much for today.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re wee. I was bored and couldn¡¯t sleep, so I went out for a walk to try my luck. I didn¡¯t expect to really catch this scum.¡± Hong Yin waved her hand and sighed, ¡°Mengxue said she had contacted her family, but her family actually wanted her to not be too nosy. They even said that this scum is also some young genius and she''d better make friends¡­, heh. A young genius, Mengxue was so angry she tossed and turned in bed all night¡­ It was all because of this scum!¡±


    His train of thought couldn¡¯t help turning crooked at the words ¡°tossing all night¡±. Ye Zhizhou was startled by his vulgar thoughts and coughed, advising Hong Yin, ¡°The matter of Lian Yizheng definitely can''t be easily taken care of. His Saint Rank grandfather is particrly unreasonable, you should not involve yourself in this. Don¡¯t worry, someone will clean him up.¡± As for the attitude of Ji¡¯s family¡­ He now has some suspicion that the Ji family is aware of Lian Yizheng¡¯s connection with Ji Quan.


    The little beast in his arms wagged his tail and closed his eyes.


    Hong Yin¡¯s mood was still somewhat bad, she didn¡¯t want to talk too much. After saying a simple goodbye to him, she walked away while dragging Lian Yizheng behind her.


    Ye Zhizhou watched her walk away, nced down at Lian Yizheng, who was being dragged face down by her, and began to contemte. The zombie virus can make the protagonist¡¯s tool into a cold and dead piece of meat. If Hong Yin drags him like that.. It won¡¯t directly drop straight off, right?


    ¡°Daddy!¡±


    He bowed his head and met the little beast''s innocent and ignorant gaze. He put away all kinds of dirty thoughts with a guilty conscience and pushed the little beast further into his arms.


    The next day, it was spread throughout Xianwu that Lian Yizheng¡ªthe famous new student¡ªwas caught by his teacher while exploring a jewelry shop at night and was thrown into the confinement room. They were curious and admiring, but envious and jealous of this legendary figure who went from Yellow Rank to Sky Rank. Now that this big gossip had came out, all the students were talking enthusiastically about it. For some time, rumors were flying all over the college, and also bringing some poprity to Ye Zhizhou''s small jewelry store.


    Three dayster, both the Lian family and Ji family sent people. The rumors were quickly curbed and rified, and Lian Yizheng was released. Ji Mengxue did not go to school for a few days, and Hong Yin was suspended from her job by the school. Ye Zhizhou was very worried by this, but there was nothing he could do about it. The little beast wagged his tail happily in his arms, and the mark on his forehead shed with a faint light from time to time.


    It was time for another storytelling meeting. The four female leads who had not gathered for a long time appeared together again, but their expressions were not very good.


    Ye Zhizhou nced at them and tapped the table with the gavel a few times. He continued telling the story that was not finishedst time, and then ended the storytelling meeting ahead of time. As expected, all four female leads stayed, they did not have any intention of leaving.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?" Ye Zhizhou changed their tea for them and asked casually. Through the bridges of jewelry and storytelling, he established a deep revolutionary friendship with the several female leads and they have also quickly became friends with each other. Everyone spoke easily with each other.


    ¡°My damn old man actually promised me to that bastard Lian Yizheng!¡± Ao Feng was the first one who couldn¡¯t hold back and pounded the table. ¡°What kind of person that man is, you can find out by just casually asking around in the college. I don¡¯t know what my family is thinking, saying that he is a young genius whose behavior is just a bit uninhibited. That is called uninhibited? It''s obviously shameless! I absolutely won''t marry that person!¡±


    Hong Yin sneered, ¡°That group of fossils with brain problems in Xianwu College actually asked me to apologize to Lian Yizheng, or they want me to get out of the school. If they want me to leave, I will leave! Do they think I can¡¯t live without Xianwu?"


    Ji Mengxue looked at her anxiously. For the first time, she did not have a smile on her face. Her mood was very depressed. ¡°It¡¯s all because I got you involved¡­¡±


    ¡°It has nothing to do with you. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Hong Yin grabbed her hand in a hurry to soothe her, and her expression eased a little.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t you guys hear about it?¡± Lian Hua took off the veil on her face, revealing a beautiful face covered with frost, ¡°In Cangzhou city there were two young girls who died after being sucked dry of their Wuhun. I didn¡¯t expect the people above to suppress the news so hard that even the Ji family and Ao family didn¡¯t know about it.¡±


    The several female leads and Ye Zhizhou were shocked. Their expressions changed greatly, ¡°Is what you¡¯re saying true?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true, although the Saintess has no real power, it is useful for inquiring about information,,¡± Lian Huaughed at herself and took out a letter. ¡°This is what I copied from the letters between the Lian family and the lord of Cangzhou. Read it yourselves. That Lian Yizheng¡­ he''s not human!¡±


    [The probability of love between Lian Hua and the protagonist has been reduced to 0%. The fifth soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts ]


    Ao Feng was the first to take the letter and skim through it. Her face became gloomy. ¡°My family actually asked me to marry a murderer! Do they want me to die early? And this lord of Cangzhou, I thought he was a good man, but I didn¡¯t expect that he would even shelter a murderer!¡±


    [The probability Ao Feng and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, the sixth soul g has been pulled out, congrattions to the host.


    [Detecting missionpletion¡­]


    [Detection failed ¡­Detecting again¡­ Warning, the sixth soul g has been restored and transferred to Hua Yan''s soul. Host, please pay attention. ]


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heart sank. He quickly took the letter and looked at it. He took a deep breath to press down the anger in his heart. He asked, ¡°Do you know who Hua Yan is? She may be in danger." This time, the soul g was transferred directly. There wasn¡¯t even any hint about a change in the plot! The protagonist most likely may not simply just want to take advantage of this Hua Yan girl!


    ¡°Hua Yan?¡± Lian Hua''s expression changed and became nervous, ¡°Wh-what about her? She is the little daughter of the lord of Cangzhou City. She has been in poor health since she was young. It was her who helped me get this letter.


    ¡°Is she also born with the talent to reach Sky Rank?¡±


    ¡°More than that.¡± Lian Hua shook her head, ¡°She also has a Pure Spirit body. The position of the Saintess should have been hers but her health has never been good, so I volunteered to rece her¡­¡± After saying this, she suddenly remembered the contents of the letter and jumped up in surprise. ¡°Does Lian Yizheng want to¡­ to¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou nodded and could not help but clench his fist. He also had a terrible guess on whether the protagonist¡¯s crazy cultivating behaviour was to restore a function that had been deposed of¡­ His eyes nced over the letter on the table, and a trace of killing intent emerged in his heart.


    Two human lives, two innocent girls. The protagonist of this world really deserved to die! If he hadn¡¯t castrated the protagonist then, would the two girls not have to¡­


    The little beast sleeping in the corner suddenly woke up, turned around and rushed into his arms. His tail wrapped around his wrist, and his tongue kept licking his face, as if to soothe him. The dark feelings in his heart lessened a bit. He hugged the little beast tightly, looked towards the four female leads who all had ugly expressions on their faces, and lowered his gaze.


    Thinking too much about it right now is useless, the protagonist of this world must die!<hr ss="wp-block-separator">


    <strong>Those poor girls D: The protagonist of this arc really needs to die!!</strong><strong>

 Chapter 69

    After the brief exchange the group dispersed and Hong Yin and Ji Mengxue returned to the college to investigate Lian Yizheng¡¯s activities. Ao Feng took the letter with her and went home to discuss it with her parents. Ye Zhizhou closed the shop and apanied Lian Hua back to the temple¡¯s branch in Cangzhou.


    As he passed by the main hall of offerings he stopped abruptly. His gaze went past the servants andnded on the murals of the main hall¡¯s walls, and he unconsciously held the little beast in his arms tighter.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Lian Hua turned around to look at him.


    ¡°Nothing.¡± He looked away, rubbed the camouge talisman hanging on the neck of the little beast, and his heart felt a bit calmer. He changed the topic and said, ¡°Tell me more about Hua Yan''s health situation."


    After hearing him mention Hua Yan, Lian Hua¡¯s attention quickly shifted as expected. She continued to lead him and quickly exined, ¡°Xiao Yan¡¯s weakness is congenital, and she cannot be exposed to the cold or consume nourishing supplements. She can only be carefully nurtured. When she was two years old, she was tested to have a Sky Rank talent and a Pure Spirit body. A Pure Spirit body is different from that of a Pure Wu body. The more she practices, the worse her constitution bes. Finally, she had no choice but to give up cultivating and became an ordinary person. More than ten years have passed and, although she has not been cultivating, her constitution is still getting poorer day by day. We have tried all kinds of methods, they were all useless¡­She''s already suffered so much and that Lian Yizheng still dares to think of using her, damn it! ¡±


    Constitution bing poorer? Ye Zhizhou had some guesses in his mind. Quickly appeasing her with a few words, and after questioning the system a bit, he came up with an idea.


    Changing into the temple attendant clothing brought by Lian Hua, he picked up the little beast who was especially sleepy today and followed Lian Hua to the mansion of the Lord of Cangzhou in the south of the city.


    The city lord had other business to attend to, so he was not there. They were greeted by the housekeeper and taken directly to the small courtyard where Hua Yan lived.


    ¡°Lian Hua, you came!¡± A beautiful young girl with a paleplexion came out from behind the door and threw herself into Lian Hua¡¯s arms joyfully. Her voice was soft and sticky, while her tone was sweet and naive. ¡°I heard the temple will offer sacrifices in a few days, I thought you would note to see me these days.¡±


    ¡°There''s always time to visit you.¡± Lian Hua touched her hand. After determining it wasn''t too cold, her expression rxed. She led her to the room and asked in a warm voice, "Why did you get out of bed today? Did you take your medicine like you''re supposed to these two days?


    ¡°Laying down all the time is so boring. Today, father sent me a new medicine. The effect is better than the previous ones. I thought it would be ok, so I got out of bed.¡± Hua Yan stuck to Lian Hua''s body while quietly telling her what happened these days with a happy expression and eyes full of joy.


    Ye Zhizhou poked the small mirror in his pocket and turned on the scanning function.


    After sitting down in the small living room, Lian Hua let Hua Yan send the servants away. The smile on her face dimmed and she asked seriously, ¡°Xiao Yan, do you remember the letter I asked you to get for mest time?¡±


    ¡°I do.¡± When Hua Yan saw her serious face, the joy in her eyes turned to worry. She leaned over to grab her hand and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did my father find out that I sent you the letter and has been making things difficult for you?


    Lian Hua took her hand, patted it soothingly and shook her head, ¡°No, I came here today to talk to you about the person mentioned in that letter."


    ¡°That evil murderer?¡± Hua Yan frowned, ¡°Wasn''t that man already caught?¡±


    "Who told you that the man was already caught?"


    <span>¡°Father told me when he brought the medicine over today,¡± Hua Yan hugged her arm and this time she soothed her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry Lian Hua. The bad guy has been caught, no more girls will be harmed.¡±


    <span>Lian Hua¡¯s expression became ugly after she heard these words and she couldn¡¯t help turning her head to look at Ye Zhizhou.


    Ye Zhizhou, who just received the results of the system''s scanning, also had an ugly expression. He stepped forward and picked up a small porcin bowl beside the tea tray on the table. He asked, ¡°Miss Hua Yan, did you use this bowl? What was in it?¡±


    Hua Yan did not know him, but seeing that he came with Lian Hua she answered sincerely, ¡°That bowl contained the newly prescribed medicine that Father brought over today.¡±


    ¡°Is there something wrong with the medicine?¡± Lian Hua immediately became nervous and asked impatiently, ¡°What did you find out, little boss? Xiao Yan will be okay, right?"


    ¡°Fortunately, you didn¡¯t drink too much of it.¡± Ye Zhizhou put down the bowl and exined, ¡°The little beast I''m raising is very sensitive to the scent of poison. Just after we entered the room he became agitated, so I paid a little more attention¡­ Miss Hua Yan, after drinking this medicine, did you at first feel sleepy but actually couldn¡¯t fall asleep at all? And then, after about an hourter, the sleepiness disappears and you be much more energetic ?


    Hua Yan nodded her head in a daze, ¡°Y-yes, it¡¯s like that¡­¡±


    As expected¡­ He took out the medicine that Tongtian had given to him. He warmly said, ¡°This is a Qingdu pill. Take it with some warm water. You will feel like vomiting within twenty minutes after you eat it. Don¡¯t panic, just spit it out.¡±


    Hua Yan was a bit hesitant, but Lian Hua directly took the medicine. After pouring some warm water she set it in front of Hua Yan and tried to coax her, ¡°Xiao Yan, this person is my friend, he won''t harm you. Be good and take the medicine.¡±


    Hua Yan looked at her and then at Ye Zhizhou. She moved her lips but said nothing. After suppressing her doubts, she obediently took the medicine. Ten minutester, she rushed behind the screen as she covered her mouth.


    Lian Hua looked at the medicine bowl on the table with an uncertain look on her face, her fingers were sped so tightly that her knuckles turned white.


    "That medicine contained the essence of Lian Yizheng¡¯s Wuhun in it.¡± Ye Zhizhou poured a cup of tea and set it in front of her. He handed her a red pill, ¡°After Miss Hua Yan vomits, her body will be weaker than usual. You can give this to her, it will make her feel better.¡±


    ¡°Lian Yizheng!¡± Lian Hua gnashed her teeth in anger, ¡°I want to tear him to pieces!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou set the medicine in front of her. He turned to look in the direction of Lord''s mansion''s front door, and sighed, ¡°We must find the city lord and carefully discuss this with him, he may have been deceived by Lian Yizheng.¡± Otherwise, a man who loves his daughter like his own life would not feed his daughter ''poison''.


    Two dayster, Hong Yin''s side sent over the news that they saw Lian Yizheng heading towards the city lord''s mansion. Upon receiving this information, Ye Zhizhou and Lian Hua immediately left for the city lord''s mansion and had a brief discussion with the city lord, Hua Lian.


    Lian Yizheng, who finally got rid of his family¡¯s old fogy, came to the city lord¡¯s mansion with a heart full of joy. He kept fantasizing about how he would repair his body after he finished absorbing the Pure Spirit body. From time to time, his eyes shed with traces of greed.


    The city lord, Hua Lian, smiled as he came out to greet him. After politely exchanging pleasantries, he started thanking him, saying, ¡°The medicine that Young Master Lian sent a few days ago indeed was extremely effective. My daughter has been in good health these days. I really don¡¯t know how to thank you.¡±


    ¡°City Lord need not be so polite.¡± Lian Yizheng appropriately showed a modest smile and answered, ¡°It¡¯s my honor to be able to help the lord, but the prescription needs to match the condition of the person''s body and has to be adjusted from time to time¡­ This time, I took the liberty toe here. Would it be inconvenient for Miss Hua Yan to let me take a look at her pulse?"


    Hua Lian nced at him deeply. The smile on his face bing more sincere. He dly agreed and turned to take him to Hua Yan''s little courtyard.


    The closer they got to the courtyard, the more excited Lian Yizheng became. His breathing became slightly erratic. Hua Lian, who had his back to him, noticed this and his expression became darker and darker. There were several times that he almost couldn¡¯t resist turning around and immediately chopping up this bastard who dared to covet his daughter.


    The two people finally arrived at the house door. Hua Lian pushed open the door and took the lead to go in. Lian Yizheng did not suspect him and also walked in. Finally, he could not help showing an eager smile on his face. When Hua Lian saw it from the corner of his eye, his hands curled into a tight fist. He then led him into the inner room with a cold face, saying, "My daughter is inside. I still have some business so I won''t be going in. Young Master Lian, please." After saying this he immediately turned around and left without giving the other person a chance to speak.


    Lian Yizheng, who''s heart was full of anticipation of restoring his body, did not notice Hua Lian¡¯s weird behavior at all. After a rushed ceremonial fist, he entered the inner room with a terrible glint in his eyes. The Wuhun in his body became restless as if getting ready to rush out to absorb all energy from anything he touches.


    Hua Lian, who was only a step away from Saint Rank, was acutely aware of this sickening force. In his heart he became more convinced of what Ye Zhizhou had told him before. He turned around, quickly went to the side of the house and stood beside Ye Zhizhou. He sincerely said, ¡°Thank you little boss for your warning! I was actually deceived by this wicked thing, it was truly foolish of me!"


    ¡°City Lord was simply blinded by your love for your daughter, " Ye Zhizhou casually said a few words to console the city lord and then made a gesture towards the roof where Hong Yin and others were waiting. He pulled out the bricks in front of him that had been previously loosened and took a look at the situation inside. Beckoning Xiao Hei over, he told him, ¡°Send the negative qi into the room. Don''t let it get outside the room, understand?¡±


    Xiao Hei quietly let out an "awoo", shook his fur and then obediently sent the negative qi into the room through the hole.


    Hua Lian looked at the low-ranking Lingxi beast uncertainly with his brows knit. This little boss is mysterious in all aspects, even the Lingxi beast he raised is very different¡­ As expected, he¡¯s an expert.


    Stepping into the inner room, Lian Yizheng saw a delicate young maiden sitting at the window with her back towards him. He hurried to stabilize his restless Wuhun, while also trying to make it feel gentle. As he approached, he called out, ¡°Miss Hua Yan?¡±


    The delicate girl remained silent and motionless, as if she hadn¡¯t heard him.


    Lian Yizheng felt uncertain and hastily increased his Wuhun output, his voice bing more and more low-pitched, ¡°Miss Hua Yan, I am Lian Yizheng, the doctor that the city lord invited over to check on your health, may I¡­¡±


    ¡°Doctor?¡± The delicate young maiden interrupted him. Pausing for a moment, she turned slowly and revealed a smile while asking quietly, ¡°Young Master Lian, do you still remember me?¡±


    The humble and polite expression on Lian Yizheng¡¯s face quickly turned into rm when he saw the maiden''s face. His Wuhun uncontrobly charged over, ¡°Zhi Yuan?! Didn¡¯t you jump off the cliff and die?


    ¡°Ah yes, I died.¡± The young girl stood up and easily avoided his attack. She raised her hand to stroke her face and continued to ask faintly, ¡°Then, do you still remember this face?¡±


    ¡°Zh- Zhi Huan?!¡± Lian Yizheng could not help retreating. His eyes quickly filled with anger. Directly pulling out his sword, he shed towards her while shouting angrily, ¡°Slut! You dare to appear in front of me, I''ll kill you!


    [The probability of Hua Yan and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Ye Zhizhou nced at the system prompt and then continued to y with the puppet in his hands, increasing the spiritual power attached to the puppet.


    In the inner room, the delicate girl once again easily avoided Lian Yizheng¡¯s attack. With a sweep of her lifted sleeve, she suddenly appeared behind Lian Yizheng, and said in an icy tone, ¡°Then, Lian Yizheng, it can''t be that you already forgot this face.¡±


    Lian Yizheng immediately backed away. When his gazended on the young maiden¡¯s withered and grey face, he was so scared his hands started to tremble, and he cried out loudly, ¡°It was you who kept sticking to me! I didn¡¯t want to suck you dry. It was your own fault! You killed yourself! It wasn¡¯t me! It wasn''t me!¡±


    [The probability of Hua Yan and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied with the speed of the g pulling and squinted his eyes as heughed. In his heart, he fiercely praised Tongtian, who had considerately offered the puppets


    Inside, the delicate young maiden had already gotten in front of Lian Yizheng. Her face changed once again, her tone bing more grim, ¡°What about me then? You and I areplete strangers and didn''t have any grudges either. Why did you not leave my body in one piece?


    Lian Yizheng shouted while covering his eyes, not looking at the young maiden''s terrifying face. His expression gradually became more deranged. ¡°Who told you to be an Earth Rank? It was you guys who forced me! <i>You</i> forced me!¡±


    [The probability of Hua Yan and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, the sixth soul g has been pulled out once again, congrattions to the host. Now testing missionpletion¡­ ¡­]


    [Test has failed¡­Starting/Loading the test again¡­ ]


    As soon as Ye Zhizhou saw this prompt he intuitively felt it was far from good, and promptly sent all his spiritual power into the puppet. In the room, the delicate young maiden''s face became nk for a moment. She then turned her face into Ji Huaijin¡¯s appearance and walked up to Lian Yizheng''s face and lowered her voice and asked, ¡°Then Ji Quan, do you remember this face?¡±


    Lian Yizheng¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank, turning ck for a second before gaining focus again, then his expression became severe and sinister. His body gained an imposing manner and he fiercely charged to attack the delicate young maiden. His voice was hoarse and harsh, ¡°Ji Huaijin! Why haven''t you died yet? I am the number one genius of the Ji¡¯s family! I am the most capable!


    When the sword struck at the delicate young maiden who had Ji Huaijin¡¯s face, she did not attempt to dodge but instead faintly smiled at him and then dissipated quickly like mist.


    Lian Yizheng¡¯s fierce attacks suddenly stopped, his pupils once again bing ck before turning back to normal. His imposing manner dispersed and suddenly, he raised his hands to cover his eyes while roaring in pain. The Wuhun on his body also became hysterical and uncontrobly rioted in the room.


    [Testing ispleted, this world''s mission is over. Congrattions to the host. Does Host want to enter the next world? ]


    Ye Zhizhou let out a sigh of relief while wiping the cold sweat dripping from his forehead and selected no.


    The little beast who was sleeping by his feet suddenly opened his eyes, the mark on his forehead lighting up with a bright golden light. Raising his head and letting out a long howl, he then ran into the flower shrubs and disappeared without a trace.

 Chapter 70 part1

    Ye Zhizhou was rmed. He called for the little beast but did not get a response. He quickly put away his puppet and turned to chase after the little beast.


    [Warning. Test results have caused changes. Testing again¡­ Test failed, restarting. The Soul Transferring Channel is temporarily closed. Host, please pay attention to safety. ]


    The sudden light screen that popped up turned into an eye-piercing scarlet on ck, giving him an ominous premonition. Ye Zhizhou suddenly stopped and looked back at the house where the protagonist was. He hesitated for a moment but gritted his teeth and continued to run in the direction of the little beast.


    [Warning, mission testing has failed. Soul g''s status is pending. The protagonist¡¯s soul is causing fluctuations, this small world may copse at any time. Host, please stay alert! Please stay alert! ]


    What the hell is that damn protagonist doing? Cursing under his breath, he stopped and turned to run back. While he ran, he pushed out Xiao Hei, who was following behind him, ¡°Go! Catch up with Huaijin! Guard him, don¡¯t let anything happen to him!¡±


    Xiao Hei raised his head and let out a long howl. Suddenly, a thick ck fog surrounded his body and he rapidly flew up leaving no tracks behind.


    Hua Lian and the others were puzzled by his sudden inexplicable departure. When they saw him running back, one by one they came up to him and asked, ¡°Little boss, what''s wrong? Why did your little pet and mount run away?"


    ¡°Don''t worry about it. First, let''s go back and check on Lian Yizheng. His condition seems a bit abnormal.¡± Ye Zhizhou quickly went ahead of them and ran to the door to directly kick it open. He branched out his spiritual power and shouted loudly, ¡°Lian Yizheng! Didn¡¯t you want to kill Zhi Yuan to retaliate against Zhi Huan? I¡¯m right here, do you dare to kill me!¡±


    With his pupils still changing rapidly, Lian Yizheng¡¯s body jolted before he bent down to pick up the sword on the ground. Raising his eyes to look at Ye Zhizhou fiercely, his wild Wuhun directly swept towards him, ¡°Intentionally trying to mystify yourself! I killed you once and I can kill you again! Die!¡±


    Hua Lian coldly scoffed and helped Ye Zhizhou block the attack as he unleashed his previously concealed killing intent. Not saying anything further, he took out his weapons and attacked Lian Yizheng, cunningly going straight for Lian Yizheng''s lower body. Ao Feng and Hong Yin, who had both been restraining their hatred for so long, also joined the fight in session. Lian Hua moved Hua Yan back a safe distance, so she would not be identally harmed by the chaotic energy from the battle area.


    The besieged Lian Yizheng was stuck in a difficult situation and could only change from attacking to defending. His unstable expression became more and more firm and filled with hatred, "Zhi Yuan, when I be the highest rank Wu warrior, I''ll have the horses tear you apart. And this group of ants, I won¡¯t let any of you go!¡±


    [Now testing missionpletion. Attempting to open the soul transfer channel¡­ Soul transfer channel failed to open. Soul g status is still pending. The protagonist''s soul is unstable. Host, please stay alert! Please stay alert! ]


    Ye Zhizhou felt like he was about to fall apart, he really wanted to grab Lian Yizheng''s neck and firmly strangle him for awhile. What kind of situation is ''soul g status is still pending''? And what is up with this constantly unstable soul? Protagonist, can you not be a proper human being?!


    ¡°Ah-!¡± There was a sudden change in his aura as he went to counterattack, and Lian Yizheng abruptly grabbed his crotch, falling down on to the ground while his pupils stopped fluctuating.


    [Now testing the protagonist¡¯s soul''s stability¡­ The soul g status is now being determined. Removal of the first soul g is confirmed. The second soul g is confirmed. The third soul g is confirmed. Soul g status is still pending, and the soul transferring channel cannot be opened. ]


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s gaze fell on Lian Yizheng¡¯s bloody lower region, his brain shed with an idea and he shouted, ¡°Abolish his cultivation, now!¡±


    The female leads, who were shocked speechless by Hua Lian¡¯s ¡°ruthless castration method¡±, became excited after they heard his words. They all turned to look at him with expressions of ¡®young man, this vicious way of yours, I like it¡¯. Then, one by one ruthlessly attacked Lian Yizheng''s dantian with their full strength.


    The sudden intense pain that erupted in his brain tormented Lian Yizheng so much that his mental state was about to copse. At this point he hadpletely lost his ability to resist and could only miserably roll back and forth on the ground to avoid their attacks. His Wuhun would condense at one moment but then disperse at the next, and his screams became increasingly tragic.


    Ye Zhizhou fiercely stared at the protagonist''s eyes, his thoughts bing more and more clear. If what he spected was right, the protagonist¡¯s soul fluctuations may be rted to Ji Quan¡¯s spirit in his body. They were probably mutually using each other. As long as he broke the connection between Ji Quan and the protagonist, the deeply hidden soul remnant should be forced out. Although Ji Quan¡¯s spirit being in the protagonist''s body was only a spection, it was a critical situation. He has to attempt this, even if this was all just spection.


    The people over there were still jointly attacking Lian Yizheng. Ye Zhizhou used his spiritual power to monitor the protagonist''s situation while also condensing his Wuhun into his palms. Once he felt it was time, he took advantage of the opening while Lian Yizheng was trying to avoid the fierce attacks of the female leads. Fiercely charging forwards, he ruthlessly poured all the condensed Wuhun in his palm into Lian Yizheng''s dantian, before manipting the Wuhun into exploding out loudly. Crack!


    "Ah¡ª!"


    Lian Yizheng screamed out painfully, and the wildly rioting Wuhun on his body suddenly disappeared. His body twitched a few times before he fell to the ground. He red at Ye Zhizhou helplessly and stretched out his hand to grab Ye Zhizhou''s arm which was on his Dantian. A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth as he strained himself to say, "Zhi¡­ Yuan¡­ I won''t let you die peacefully¡­¡±


    [The soul g status is now being determined. All six soul gs have been pulled out. Congrattions to the host forpleting this world''s mission. Opening the soul transfer channel. Channel is now open, does host to want to enter the next world? ]


    Ye Zhizhou let out a long sigh as he promptly choose no. He raised his eyes to look at Lian Yizheng and slowly retracted his palm, ¡°Lian Yizheng, before I die horribly, you will be going to hell first.¡±


    ¡°No¡­ I¡¯m going to be the¡­ strongest¡­ Wu warrior.¡± Lian Yizheng bent over and vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood. The hand that was grabbing Ye Zhizhou¡¯s arm gradually loosened as he unwillingly closed his eyes.


    "Is he dead?" Ao Feng frowned as she walked forward, putting away her weapon.


    "No, he just fainted." Ye Zhizhou let Tongtian scan Lian Yizheng''s body, finally rxing after confirming that his dantian was destroyed and he would never be able to cultivate again. Looking towards Hua Lian, he said, "City Lord, I''ll leave the rest up to you."


    "Rest assured little boss, I will definitely expose his crimes to the public and let him receive his rightful punishment. This time, no one can protect him." Hua Lian earnestly promised and then walked forward to help him up, "Little boss, did you get injured? Many thanks for today''s matter."


    "No, just a bit exhausted, thank you for your concern, city lord." After standing up properly, he took out a pill and ate it. He closed his eyes and rxed a bit. Today he had overused both his spiritual power and Wuhun so now he had a headache.


    After Hong Yin finished tying up Lian Yizheng, she threw him out of the room. Dusting off her clothes, sheughed as she said, "We finally dealt with this scum student. It''s too bad Mengxue was dragged away by her family and couldn''te."


    ¡°Look at what you''re saying. All you know is sticking to Ji Mengxue all day.¡± Ao Feng nced at her, and then came forward to pat Ye Zhizhou¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Today, this matter was settled due to little boss. From now on, I, Ao Feng, will back you up! You can rest assured about the Lian family, they won''t dare to do anything."


    Ye Zhizhou almost lost his bnce from her pat. After his headache slightly receded, he quickly took his leave, "The rest I¡¯ll have to trouble you to handle. My pet and mount both ran away, I have to go find them."


    One after another, they all expressed their understanding and also asked him if he wanted help. He quickly refused, waving his hand as he walked out of the room.


    He had just crossed over the threshold and was nodding to the iing Lian Hua and Hua Yanwhen a ck colored screen with red letters suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.


    [Detecting danger to host''s life. Do you want to receive the mission reward, Huan Hun pill in advance? ]


    Why. Was. There. More!


    He turned around to look at the protagonist on the ground, but found that Lian Yizheng was still unconscious and it was impossible for him to send out another attack. Bing more alert, he took out a protective talisman, tore it open, and began looking around vigntly


    Everything became quiet, Hua Lian and the others looked at him all perplexed.


    Ye Zhizhou frowned and wanted to use his spiritual power to investigate, but he didn''t have enough power. He could only look to Hua Lian and the female leads to ask, ¡°Do you guys detect any unfamiliar or concealed Wuhun?¡±


    The female leads also became vignt when they heard his words. Hua Lian searched the area carefully and shook his head, ¡°I can¡¯t find anything unusual¡­ Is there a Saint Rank warrior lurking around? Could it be Lian Yizheng¡¯s grandfather?" As he said this, he moved forward to cover the group of people behind him, looking around defensively.


    Two minutester, the small courtyard was still calm, there weren''t even any bugs flying around. The several people¡¯s tense nerves slightly rxed. Hua Lian already determined that there was no danger around. He could not helpughing, ¡°Little boss may be too nervous. The city lord''s mansion is very safe. You can be at ease.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou disposed of the protective talisman, somewhat baffled. The system is unlikely to make a mistake, ah¡­


    [Please trust the system.]


    He didn''t know if it was just an illusion, but after seeing this prompt, his improving headache suddenly worsened.. He quickly took out an <span>Anshen pill to eat but rm bells went off when the pill had no effect. He then took out a <span>Qingxin pill to eat, and at the same time he also took out a protective talisman, tearing it.


    Everyone saw his face suddenly change colors and then saw him ingesting pills. They were worried and asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong little boss? Are you injured?¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡± The headache eased slightly after Qingxin pill entered the body, but soon after that the pain doubled. He crouched down to the ground with a groan, quickly swallowing several more pills and gritted his teeth, ¡°You guys get out of here, quickly!¡±


    Everyone looked at each other in dismay, wanting to go help him up.


    ¡°Ji Quan¡¯s soul remnant is in my body, quickly leave! I¡¯ll think of a way to force him out!¡± Ye Zhizhou swiftly retreated. He avoided everyone''s contact, trying his best to suppress the pain in his brain while madly pouring Qingxin pills into his mouth. He did not expect that the remnants of Ji Quan¡¯s soul would sneak in when his spiritual powers had been depleted, he was too careless.


    Suddenly, a long beast roar sounded in the air. Ye Zhizhou only felt that his headache suddenly became clear. Afterwards, a golden light fell from the sky and directly shone on him. His sight went dark, the back of his neck tensed, then his body fell into smooth, soft long fur and his face was licked by a wet tongue. A familiar voice sounded overhead, ¡°I¡¯m sorry I camete.¡±


    ¡°Bastard.¡± Ye Zhizhou grabbed his fur, his forehead dripping with cold sweat, ¡°Ji Quan is cursing at you in my mind¡­ I can¡¯t hold on for much longer¡­"


    The mark on Ji Huaijin¡¯s forehead shed with a light, he bowed his head and gently rubbed against him. He turned around to faintly nce at Hua Lian and the others who stood there dumbfounded, then sent a thread of his energy into Lian Yizheng¡¯s body. He rose to the skies by treading on clouds. The camouge talisman on Xiao Hei¡¯s body had been damaged, revealing his dark fur. He copied Ji Huaijin''s actions of sending a thread of his yin energy into Lian Yizheng¡¯s body. Then, he chased after Ji Huaijin and quickly left.


    ¡°That¡¯s the little boss¡¯s mount and pet? This¡­¡± Hong Yin was dumbstruck and did not know how to describe the shock in her heart right now.


    ¡°The sacred beast, the demon king¡­¡± Lian Hua couldn''t believe it and took a step forward, her body trembling with excitement. ¡°It¡¯s the sacred beast! That mark, that mark¡­ With the Shihun beast which guards the sacred beast demon king¡­ Lord Zhonghua! It¡¯s Lord Zhonghua!¡±


    Hua Yan promptly ran up to grab her, and wondered, ¡°What are you talking about, Lian Hua? It¡¯s a sacred beast but also a demon king. Isn¡¯t that just a legend?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s true! It¡¯s not just a legend. They really do exist!¡± Lian Hua excitedly grabbed her shoulder with astonishing shining eyes, ¡°The temple''s ancient books have written records about the Demon King that will be born in times of chaos in the human realm. After recognizing <i>the Savior</i> as their master, a bond will be forged between them. A golden mark will then appear on its forehead and it will be a guardian sacred beast, protecting the other party¡­ That white shadow just now was the Demon King Zhonghua! There''s no mistaking it! It must have been him!¡±


    Hua Lian was also a bit shocked, ¡°So the little boss is actually <i>the Savior</i>? Then, Lian Yizheng who he¡¯s dealing with¡­¡±


    ¡°A person who cultivates by stealing another''s cultivation can''t be any good!¡± Ao Feng kicked the unconscious Lian Yizheng and thenughed proudly, ¡°So I just helped <i>the Savior</i> save the world? I like this kind of story!¡±


    Hong Yin listened to their dialogue and <span>silently wiped her face. She had actually known <i>the Savior</i> for so long, and often went to listen to him tell stories¡­ It really is a great loss for Mengxue who didn''te today. <hr ss="wp-block-separator">


    <strong>I just moved into my new apartmentst night and I haven¡¯t been able to trante enough this past week so Chapter 70 is being split into 2 parts, sorry! For chapterster on, unless the character count gets too long, they¡¯ll be posted as a whole chapter.</strong>

 Chapter 70 part2

    Ye Zhizhou stood in a dark ce, looking around vacantly.


    Where is he?


    He reached out, but only felt the empty darkness around him.


    Who was he?


    He took back his hand, his eyes full of doubt.


    "You are Ji Quan."


    "Who''s there!"


    "I am you and you are me. Obviously it''s us that''s talking."


    The motionless darkness suddenly circted around him. He raised his hand and held his forehead, his eyes flickering without settling. Ji Quan? Who is Ji Quan? Was that his name?


    "Xiao Yuan"


    A hazy voice suddenly sounded at the top of his head. It was very faint, making it hard for him to hear it clearly. He put down his hand and looked all around him. Who is Xiao Yuan? No, he¡¯s not called Xiao Yuan. But what is his name? His own name, his real name¡­


    "Xiao Yuan, wake up."


    "No!"


    He shook his head and suddenly felt wronged and angry. Not Xiao Yuan! Not that name! His name was clearly¡ª¡ª


    The darkness around him became motionless once again. The hoarse voice he initially heard reappeared, echoing in his mind, ¡°You are Ji Quan. Ji Quan is you. We are one.¡±


    "We are one?"


    "Yes."


    His eyes gradually became nk, ¡°My name is Ji Quan?¡±


    Suddenly his wrist began to heat up. His eyes became clear for a moment. He lowered his head and touched the small tattoo on his wrist, then a simple cane appeared in his hand. His eyes filled with suspicion. Doubtfully looking at his wrist, he touched the tattoo and then touched the cane. How did he get a tattoo on his wrist? Where did this canee from?


    ¡°You are Ji Quan. You are me. We are one.¡±


    That voice continued to echo strongly in his head, and his eyes became nk again. Suddenly, a loud beast roar sounded clearly in his ears and then there was a snapping noise. The cane in his hand split open and a golden light shot out, forming a golden symbol in front of him.


    The voice in his head became more hoarse and bewitching, "We are one. We will be together forever."


    "Forever?"


    The fluctuating emotions in his eyes suddenly became firm. He raised his palm to touch the golden mark in the air, then pressed down on it hard while shouting, ¡°The man who will be with me forever is a great handsome man, definitely not an ugly thing like you. Get out of my head!¡±


    The darkness ripped apart, light reappeared, and a warm golden light epassed his body. A light screen with rows full of exmation marks suddenly popped up in front of him. The corner of his lips couldn¡¯t help perking up and he weakly poked the light screen a few times. Then, he rxed and buried himself deeper in the soft fur. He embraced the fluffy tail wrapped around him and nuzzled it with a smile, ¡°Ji Huaijin.¡±


    The beast face with a continuously shining mark on his forehead extended his head toward him, the red gaze was gentle and full of concern. Licking him with his tongue, a clear and cold voice sounded in his ear, ¡°It¡¯s all right now, I¡¯ll protect you.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± He reached up to touch the beast''s face and then let himself fall into darkness again, ¡°I know you will always be there.¡±


    In the center of the broken forbidden array, a giant white-furred beast carefully guarded a ck-haired boy under his body. Suddenly, a golden light erupted from the mark on the beast''s forehead. His fur rustled although there was no wind. A huge wave of energy swept everything away, shaking the stone tablets in the forbidden array to the point of almost copsing. A hoarse miserable howl sounded within the forbidden array but was very quickly suppressed by an invisible power.


    Xiao Hei sat outside the forbidden array, the dark fog on his body was only faintly discernible, almost blending with the night. He licked his fur, his big eyes were full of loss. His master has regained his strength, and now he will have to go back to the life of guarding the door¡­ So sad.


    In a well-guarded basement of the Imperial City Ji¡¯s home, several old people with withered appearances suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell softly to the ground, ceasing to breathe. In the temple of Cangzhou City, a grand ceremony of offering sacrifices wasing to an end, when suddenly, a strong wind swept up and threw the sacrifices from the stage onto the ground. This ended the magnificent opening of the ceremony of offering sacrifices in a ridiculous way. Lian Hua got up slowly during themotion, removed her sacrificial robe, and took off the borate veil that represented her saintess status. She then lifted her skirt, and ran towards the city lord''s mansion. From today on, faith is in the heart, not in the body.


    In front of the jewelry shop near Xianwu College, Ji Mengxue looked at the sign for a long time before bowing her head and gently smiling. She threw away the Ji family crest, turned around and took Hong Yin¡¯s hand, and stepped onto the beast carriage that the other had decorated in red.


    ¡°What is the destination?¡±


    Hong Yin brandished the beast whip and brightlyughed, ¡°Whatever ce you like.¡±


    On the second floor of a restaurant near the city gate, Ao Feng watched the two people leave the city. She raised her head and drank her cup of wine in one go, then let out a long,fortable sigh, ¡°Good wine, good meat, beautiful moonlight, this is life! This trip to Xianwu College was not in vain!¡±


    Hua Lian stepped into the depths of a dungeon at night and threw a letter on the ground. Heughed scornfully, ¡°Don¡¯t expect your grandpa to save you. He clearly said in the letter that the Lian family''s second son died when he was just eighteen years old. Oh yeah, just the day before yesterday, that brother of yours advanced his rank again. I believe that the Lian family will have a new saint in the near future. Congrattions."


    The figure huddled in the corner of the dungeon moved, and suddenly began to wildly hit the wall in a frenzy, making unwilling growls.


    The smile on Hua Lian''s face disappeared, and he watched him expressionlessly before turning around to leave.


    In Taoyuan vige, the elder''s tense mind finallypletely rxed, and he could not help showing a toothless smile, ¡°The sacred beast is worthy of its name¡­¡±


    Wang Lian flicked her whip in boredom, drawing out her words, ¡°Elder, what kind of new cane do you want? You said this piece of wood was too rough and then that piece of wood was ugly. You seem to be walking pretty well. Can you have mercy on the vigers and stop tormenting them?¡±


    ¡°What do you know!¡± The elder seemed ferocious, but he actually did not scold her that severely. His eyes were full of nostalgia, ¡°When this old man saved the world, your grandfather was not born yet. You''re a little girl who <span>doesn''t know the immensity of heaven and earth.¡°


    Wang Lian rolled her eyes. Using her whip, she picked up a piece of firewood and threw it over. She pouted and said, ¡°I think this length fits you well. Just use this as a cane.¡± After saying this, she patted her bottom and ran away.


    The elder stared at her, looked at the firewood on the ground, and suddenlyughed, ¡°Now that the world is peaceful, it seems as if I don¡¯t really need a good cane.¡±


    In the inner courtyard of the Jiang¡¯s house in Liuzhou City, Jiang Yun held her pillow as she quietly touched Jiang Yue''s bed.


    ¡°Xiao Yun¡­¡± Jiang Yue helplessly opened her eyes and sighed, ¡°You are so big already, you can¡¯t sleep with your big sister anymore.¡±


    When Jiang Yun saw that she was discovered, she put on a ''I am this shameless, I have to sleep with you'' kind of roguish expression. She quickly got into Jiang Yue''s bed, hugged her tightly and closed her eyes, ¡°No. I want to sleep with sister forever!¡±


    ¡°This temper of yours¡­¡± Jiang Yue shook her head fondly at her ridiculousness, andpromised for the nth time, ¡°Then, today is thest time. Tomorrow, you must sleep by yourself.¡±


    Jiang Yun let out a small snore, acting as if she did not hear anything.


    Five yearster, Ye Zhizhou¡¯s body finally reached maturity. Hezily stretched his waist as he got up from his lover''s body and pulled his ear, ¡°Say, when on earth are you going to send me back home? I heard that the old man, Lian Wenrui, experienced a problem while he was cultivating and his rank fell. I wanted to take a look at the scene. Also, Grandpa breaking through into Saint Rank is a big thing, I should really go back and see them.¡±


    The white-furred beast kept his eyes closed and only flicked his tail, rolling it around his waist before it stopped moving.


    ¡°Don''t pretend to be asleep!¡± Ye Zhizhou was angered and pulled at the fur on his tail, ¡°Otherwise, I''ll pluck you bald!¡±


    The giant beast grudgingly opened his eyes, and looked at him with an indulgent look. A golden light shed, and the white-furred beast became a beautiful naked man.


    ¡°Xiao Yuan.¡± Ji Huaijin, who no longer had ears and a tail in his human form after recovering, turned over and pressed Ye Zhizhou under him. The red eyes looked at him deeply, like intoxicating wine, ¡°A beast will not let his mate leave until he has sessfully mated with them. Didn¡¯t you know that?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was so overwhelmed by his voice, gaze, and scent. It made every hair on his body stand up and he couldn¡¯t resist. He looked up and kissed him. He spurned his own indecency while gritting his teeth in anger and said, ¡°Then let''s do it! You are the one who wanted to wait until I grew up! Also, you are clearly a human! Stop using the word ''mating''!" That word will make him think of hardcore beastiality sex!


    Ji Huaijinughed softly, deepened the kiss, and his hands moved further down, ¡°In front of you¡­ I am an animal.¡±


    Xiao Hei, standing guard outside the magnificent pce door, raised his paws to cover his eyes while piteously crying out ¡®wuwuwu¡¯. Sure enough¡­ This is the most annoying thing about guarding the door.<hr ss="wp-block-separator">


    <strong>And we¡¯re done with this arc!! Next chapter we¡¯ll be starting a new arc  I recently bought the raws on JJWXC and there are author notes, so I might start including them </strong>

 Chapter 71

    A few centuriester, Ye Zhizhou, who was resting on his lover¡¯s unchanging soft fur, contentedly closed his eyes.


    Ji Huaijin raised his head and let out a sorrowful roar. Then, he carefully curled himself into a ball and covered them with his tail. Heid down and closed his eyes. The mark on his forehead began to shine with a bright golden light. One hourter, the golden light disappeared and he closed his eyes forever. Xiao Hei whined a few times outside the temple door and then, following his master¡¯s lead, sacrificed himself.


    A dense ck fog gradually rose up and spread to surround the entire hall, protecting the two seemingly sleeping figures in the center.


    After merely taking afortable nap, his surroundings changed from the nouveau riche golden hall to a young girl¡¯s humble garret. Ye Zhizhou absentmindedly looked at the exquisitely embroidered handkerchief in his hand and dropped his gaze with a sigh. He didn¡¯t even have time to say goodbye to his lover¡­ And Xiao Hei¡­ He doesn¡¯t know if that guy will start being picky about his food again now that he¡¯s gone¡­


    In front of the dresser mirror, a small mirror with a gorgeous handle suddenly shook. A light screen popped up. [Mission reward has been sent. Do you want to receive the plot information? ]


    He finished sorting out his thoughts before getting up to grab the mirror. His eyes grew wide with shock when he saw the reflection of a delicate young girl in the mirror. Looking down at his clothes, he saw a <span>changpao, but it was a light yellow color! Raising his hand, he saw there was a jade bracelet on his wrist! Touching his hair again, he actually pulled out a <span>Zhu hairpin¡­


    ¡°It can''t be that I''m currently in a woman''s body?!¡±


    [Gathering body information¡­ Information obtained. Zou Ming, male (ger), 16 years old. Third son of the Assistant Minister of Revenue, number one beauty in the capital. Due to this, this world¡¯s protagonist''s younger brother is arrogant, naive, and very vain. Ultimately, he died tragically in a brothel.]


    "¡­Died where?"


    The light screen zoomed in a bit, letting him see the text more clearly.


    Ye Zhizhou once again experienced the feeling of having nothing left to live for. He numbly reached downwards and touched his lower body. His mind filled with confusion, ¡°Tongtian, why did the original Zou Ming, a proper boy, dress like this? Furthermore, what does ger mean?"


    The screen shed, and arge area of text came out.


    This world is a bit baffling. Humans are divided into three sexes¡ªman, woman, and ger. Although a ger¡¯s appearance is the same as that of the ordinary male, a ger''s physique is small. Most have delicate and beautiful faces and are more feminine than actual women. Most importantly, ger can have children.


    Ability to have children¡­ Ye Zhizhou rolled up his sleeve, and to his despair, discovered the red mark on his forearm that represented his fertility. He surveyed his surroundings and saw that the garret looked isted and very secure, so he directly opened his changpao and looked below his navel¡­What a straight and clear red line.


    <span>Silently straightening out his clothes, he pondered about the well being of this world¡¯s creator in his mind.


    [Do you want to receive the plot information? ]


    <span>He turned towards the light screen and said in a serious tone, ¡°Tongtian, I don¡¯t want to have children.¡± After living for several lifetimes, he swears, he doesn¡¯t want such a function.


    The screen shed, and then a rainbow text popped up.


    [Want to get rid of the trouble of unwanted pregnancy? Want to experience the joy of endless papapa to your heart''s content? Juesi pill, the best choice to prevent descendants. Just one pill and you won¡¯t need to worry for the rest of your life.]


    "¡­" My eyes are going blind.


    Refusing to look at the rainbow text again, he lowered his head to poke at the patterns on the mirror, ¡°Be more normal. Give me the plot information.¡± Although he wanted to just directly swallow the Juesi pill, right now the plot was unclear, it was better for him to not act rashly.


    The small mirror shook, the rainbow screen disappeared and a normal screen popped up.


    He put down the small mirror while pressing down the ¡®fuck your mother¡¯ in his heart, and carefully looked at the information.


    The protagonist of this world is Zou Lan, the second shu son of Zou Qing. He is a male (ger), and only half a year older than Zou Ming, the original owner of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s body. His appearance is average and he has a gentle temperament but is not very valued at home. He is often bullied by Zou Ming, his younger brother. His biological mother, Tao Dong, is a distant niece of old madam Zou. She is very well-liked by the old madam, but unfortunately, her personality is too bold and forceful, so she is not well-liked by Zou Qing.


    When Zou Lan was about to turn 17, Zou Ming¡¯s fiance Shen Tingwei was seriously injured and became disabled in a battle at the border. When Zou Ming learned about this, he kicked up a big fuss, wanting to break off the engagement no matter what. Unfortunately, the Shen family was both very influential and rich, so Zou Qing did not dare to do anything. Yuan Hui, who loved his son dearly, was anxious for him. He patted his thigh and unexpectedly came up with the idea of letting Zou Lan marry in ce of his younger brother. So Zou Lan, who came to help Zou Ming with his make up before the wedding day, was knocked unconscious by Yuan Hui and put into a wedding dress and stuffed into the sedan chair. The Shen family, who were rushing toplete the wedding ceremony, did not find anything wrong. They joyfully carried the sedan chair back.


    On the second day, the switch was exposed by Zou Lan¡¯s scream. The Shen family was furious and went to the Zou family for an exnation. Zou Qing was puzzled at first, but then he saw the pale-faced Zou Lan step off the carriage, and he was dumbstruck.


    The two families began a long wrangle. Zou Qing was an old fashioned man. He believed that since Zou Lan already married in ce of his younger brother, he was now a part of the Shen family. Therefore, he firmly disagreed with the Shen family''s request to have Zou Lan return home. The Shen family was extremely unsatisfied. They wanted the Zou family to bring out the real Zou Ming for them to take back. The first di son of the Great General, marrying the bastard shu son of a mere Assistant Minister of Revenue, how could that be epted? Their Shen family can''t afford to lose this person!


    The two families argued fiercely over whether Zou Lan should be returned to his family. This gave Yuan Hui enough time to hide Zou Ming, by secretly sending him to his mother¡¯s hometown in the countryside. When they lost track of Zou Ming, Zou Qing was more and more reluctant to yield. He insisted that it was the real Zou Ming who married into the Shen Family. The Shen family was outraged by his shameless behavior, but they had no way to seize Zou Ming, so they could only be increasingly disgusted with Zou Lan.


    A weekter, Shen Tingwei miraculously improved. Old Madam Shen was superstitious. She believed it was because of the <spanpatibility of Zou Lan and Shen Tingwei''s Bazi.Caught up in this rushed joy, she ordered her family toe back and stop making trouble for the Zou family. She acquiesced to Zou Lan being the recement bride.


    In the first year of marriage, the Zou family did not care about how Zou Lan was treated in the Shen family. The Shen family adopted an attitude of ignoring this daughter-inw, simply throwing him into a remote courtyard and then paid no attention to him.


    A yearter, Shen Tingwei was in good health. Since they didn¡¯t want to affect his mood while he was recovering, the rest of the Shen family did not tell him about Zou Lan¡¯s existence. Instead, they deceived him by saying that the ger who had been engaged to him, unfortunately, fell into the water that year and drowned. Thus, the marriage was abolished. Shen Tingwei did not doubt them, and once his body recovered, he returned to the border again.


    Old madam Shen believed that Zou Lan¡¯s <span>''rushing away the bad luck through a happy asion'' mission waspleted. After Shen Tingwei returned to the border, she had Zou Lan sent back to his family. Zou Lan did not expect that after waiting for a year, all he got was a letter to return to his family, along with the rumor that his recovered husband already returned to the border without even meeting him! He returned to the Zou family in a state of despair but was blocked by Zou Qing outside the door, who felt disgraced. Even his biological mother, Tao Dong, only came out to throw some silver coins at him and call him ¡®useless¡¯, before turning around and leaving him standing alone at the side door to look around nky.


    After waiting a night, his family still did not change their mind. Zou Lan was unable to withstand this blow and jumped into the river tomit suicide, but was rescued by a passing beggar. After opening his eyes again, the ancient edition Zou Lan became a modern edition Zou Lan. Modern edition Zou Lan quickly epted the memory of the original owner. After cursing at the Zou family and Shen family, he adopted the beggar, went to the capital''s countryside to buy a house, and began his path of prosperity.


    He named the beggar Zou Qi, taught him how to read and write, and sent him to school. A yearter, Zou Qi became a young schr, and he became a well-known richndlord.


    To make things more convenient for Zou Qi to attend school, he sold the house after saving enough money for his retirement. He went to the capital and opened a small restaurant. There, he got acquainted with Fei Jinchu, a son of a gold merchant, and made a favorable impression on him. The straightforward modern edition Zou Lanpletely ignored the olive branch that Fei Jinchu extended, and continued to live his happy single ger life.


    Half a yearter, Zou Qi¡¯s family suddenly came looking for him. It turned out that Zou Qi was not a beggar, but was the lost young son of Yang Xuan, an imperial schr. Although very reluctant, Zou Lan persuaded Zou Qi to recognize his biological father and renamed him to Yang Qi.


    Yang Qi, who had just turned 14, returned home. The first thing he did was to get people to go to the Zou family to propose to Zou Lan. Zou Lan was frightened to death by his actions and immediately ran off on a trip to push down his panic. As a result, on his journey, he crossed paths with Zou Ming, who was returning to the capital. Zou Ming, who had been having a very unfavorable time in the past years, gave Zou Lan an aphrodisiac and threw him into a broken temple. Zou Ming also thoughtfully sent in a disgusting, dirty fellow as well.


    Zou Lan was disgusted, furious and refused to be defeated. With determination, he managed to knock the dirty fellow unconscious. Afterward, he rushed to the river outside the temple to take a cold bath to clear his mind. As a result, he was unfortunately seen by the Hou family''s heir, Zhan Xuemi, who also came to take a cold bath. The two men stared at each other with wide eyes, chest to chest, both shrieking.


    After they both got dressed and packed up, the foolish and sweet Zhan Xuemi unexpectedly stopped Zou Lan. He said he was not a scum man, so he would take responsibility by marrying Zou Lan and bring him back to the Hou family. Zou Lan kept refusing but found that Zhan Xuemi did not listen to his refusals and continued to stick to him. Without any other options, he wittily used the excuse of needing to pee and then ran away.


    This time, he ran to a rtively far and different kind of ce. He directly ran into a deep mountain valley, with the idea of living incognito as a happy little hunter. Then, while he was hunting on the hill, he met and saved the assassin Kang Run¡­ Who insisted on devoting his life to him as repayment.


    Zou Lan was absolutely ready to fall apart. He prepared to run away again but found that Kang Run¡¯s vignce was too high, and he could not run away at all! To avoid being forced to bend, he told Kang Run that he was actually an abandoned husband. After Kang Run heard this, he was silent for a moment before leaving. Zou Lan let out a sigh of relief and continued to his happy little hunter life.


    A monthter, Kang Run returned and took him to a brothel in the capital. There, Zou Lan saw a passionate man-on-man exhibition, starring Zou Ming. Kang Run affectionately told him that he had gotten revenge for him and that Zou family was finished.


    Zou Lan''s three world view copsed. He was dumbfounded and wanted to run again, but then he saw Yang Qi in the corner of the brothel''s lobby. Seeing as how Yang Qi was the child he had raised as his own for a couple of years, Zou Lan saw red momentarily. He quickly rushed to grab him and scolded him, saying that at his young age he was learning bad behaviors. He actually visited a brothel!


    Yang Qi was at first stunned stupid, but then he was overjoyed. He tightly held onto Zou Lan and refused to let go. Kang Run saw this and his vinegar levels rose, resulting in him trying to kill Yang Qi. Zou Lan was rmed and quickly blocked him, which made Kang Run even more angry and murderous. Yang Qi would not be outdone by Kang Run, and he immediately drank three bowls of vinegar after seeing him. Zou Lan was unaware of when Yang Qi had called for a group of imperial guards but heard him loudly shout that he wanted Kang Run caught and killed.


    Zou Lan was sandwiched between left and right. As the man at fault, he was stuck in a dilemma. Shen Tingwei then came out of nowhere, grabbed him, and tied him up to bring him back to the Shen residence. Shen Tingwei expressed that he wanted to pick up the pieces and start anew with him so that Zou Lan could continue to be his sole madam Shen.


    Zou Lan can''t love him.


    Seeing that Zou Lan was captured by his scum ex-husband, Yang Qi and Kang Run immediately stopped fighting each other and began to cooperate in fighting Shen Tingwei. Fei Jinchu and Zhan Xuemi, who had just received the news, also joined their team in a hurry, wanting to snatch Zou Lan back from the hands of Shen Tingwei!


    Grudgingly, the enemy was too strong. Even with all four of them, they could not beat that one person. In the end, Kang Run had to brandish his special abilities. On a dark and windy night, he stealthily kidnapped Zou Lan.


    Zou Lan, who regained his freedom, was already disillusioned with society. Since he cannot escape his destiny of being bent, it was better for him to choose than to be chosen, and he might as well pick Kang Run and them. Kang Run and the three other men thought that since things have gotten to this point, they might as well get along. Therefore, the four people that still had families left behind a letter, and the one without one just tidied up his belongings. They all left together to live a secret and carefree life.


    Ye Zhizhou turned off the screen, feeling that he needed a break.


    The protagonist of the world¡­ seems to be a bit enigmatic.<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Jun Shi for thendmine! Love you so much = 3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: After an afternoon of being tossed about by bear kids, this chapter finally came out in a hurry, so don¡¯t dislike this short chapter QvQ.PS: lust/medicine is one-word, forgot to separate. Caught another bug.</strong>


    lolol this world¡¯s protag and his harem lmao, let¡¯s see what the plot twist will be this arc (??? )

 Chapter 72

    He pulled out the Zhu hairpin from his hair, removed the bracelet from his wrist and finally felt more refreshed. Once again, he turned to face the system''s data.


    The protagonist wasn''t in good health when he was taken by Kang Run. He had been poisoned, but he kept it a secret from them. The poison was very strange. It did not affect the person''s body, but instead, it would slowly destroy the poisoned person''s appearance. The protagonist didn''t want the others to worry, so he would cover his face with a bamboo hat all day not revealing his face towards anyone. Kang Run and the others thought that he had been bullied by Shen Tingwei, so he was in a bad mood and didn''t want to see people. They didn¡¯t ask any questions, only patiently apanied him and tried to coax him.


    After choosing a good ce to live in seclusion and settling down, the poison in the protagonist¡¯s body became increasingly serious. Gradually, not just his appearance was affected, even his personality changed. Kang Run and the others finally realized that something was wrong. After talking with each other, they gathered together and had a heart-to-heart talk with the protagonist. The protagonist finally told them the truth. Taking off the hat and veil he was wearing the entire time, he expressed that he wouldn''t force them to stay and that those who couldn''t ept it could choose to leave. The male leads were shocked, and then one by one all said they wouldn''t leave. Their love for him was irreversible and <span>wouldst until the seas run dry and the stones go soft.


    Kang Run found an antidote pill that could cure a hundred poisons for the protagonist. After eating it, although the protagonist¡¯s appearance couldn''t return to what it used to be, he finally lost the concern about his life. He lived a steady and happy life with the male leads, and the male leads were more considerate and tolerant than before.


    Life seemed to be stable and peaceful but it was just a facade. Their lover was poisoned by Shen Tingwei. How could the male leads not hate him? After coaxing the protagonist, they began to sneak back to the capital in turns, gathering power to find a chance to kill Shen Tingwei


    So, Shen Tingwei, whose wife had run off, began experiencing the ¡®going out for a walk and a flower pot fell out of the sky¡¯, ¡®stepping on nails when out riding¡¯, and ¡®going out for a drink and had the misfortune of getting involved in a Jianghu fight¡¯ kind of unlucky days. Finally, after oveing thest pit set for him, he decided to simply pack up his things and go back to the border.


    Half a yearter, the war at the border was tense. Under the meticulous nning of Kang Run and the others, Shen Tingwei stepped into the enemy¡¯s trap and died. The male leads retired sessfully and returned to the protagonist''s side to finally start their secluded days.


    After Shen Tingwei''s death, the bnced border war became one-sided. The enemy quickly broke through the defensive line and invaded Hua Country, heading straight for the capital.


    When the protagonist gave birth to his first child, Hua Country lost most of its cities; when the protagonist gave birth to his second child, Hua Country had been destroyed; when the protagonist gave birth to his third child, Hua Country had be the back garden of another country; when the protagonist gave birth to his fourth child, under the leadership of Hua Country''s royal family orphan, the Hua people went down the path of taking their country back.


    The four male leads who all satisfactorily had children finally decided to pay attention to the changing outside world. At first, they were shocked and full of grief after learning that their country had been destroyed and most of their families had died. Then, they resolutely decided to join the army to take back their country.


    More than 20 yearster, the Hua people finally recovered thend that had been snatched away and upied by the enemy for that time. Unfortunately, the royal family orphan who led them to achieve this great goal died of illness shortly after the coronation and left no heirs behind. After a period of confusion, the ministers settled on Zhan Xuemi after considering that he was the only person that had blood rtions with the royal family, and tried to push him to the top. He was reluctant but got persuaded by the protagonist.


    After Zhan Xuemi ascended the throne, he dered the protagonist as the empress and refused to expand the harem. He also conferred the title of princes to the protagonist''s four children. The ministers had a lot ofints regarding this, but their fear of the male leads¡¯ power and violent, bloody methods made them dare not to say anything. They could only press down the anger in their hearts.


    A few decadester, the male leads passed away one after another. Afterwards, the long-living protagonist picked one of his sons to be emperor and began to rule from the shadows. Several yearster, Hua Country gradually moved from prosperity to decline, until the country was plunged into a national crisis again.


    The day before the enemy country invaded the imperial city, the protagonist finally died of old age. The emperor, who had been suppressed by him for many years, hastily buried him and ran away with his trusted aide with the intention of learning from the previous generation of leaving and then reiming the country. This time though, the enemy''s deputy chief was clever. Instead of using an appeasement policy like decades before, after taking over the capital city of Hua Country, they enacted a ruthless ethnic purging policy.


    Hua Country became a purgatory on earth and the emperor and trusted aide were angered. They abandoned the idea of concealing themselves to preserve and nurture their strength. With private soldiers and some of the brave citizens of Hua Country, they infiltrated the enemy country and began fighting back, starting from the small viges.


    Just like that, the hatred between the two countries grew extensively until they finally reached the point where neither would stop until the other was destroyed. Both countriespletely sank into chaos and upon seeing this, the other countries took the opportunity to invade, triggering a world war. In another few decades, after the postwar treaties between all the countries dissolved, the world ended.


    The text on the screen stopped rolling and Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t help pinching his thigh. The plot of the world is really¡­ He really doesn''t know how to describe it¡­


    Suddenly there was a noise outside the garret. He got up to open the door and saw a rather small, middle-aged man climbing up adder while holding a <span>food box.


    Yes, adder. The garret he was in was actually suspended, roughly 3 or 4 meters above the first floor. There was no staircase, only adder to climb up and down.


    When he realized this, he drew a sharp intake of breath. This suspended garret was actually an aerial prison cell?


    The middle-aged man climbed up and put the food box at his feet while ncing at him coldly. He spoke apathetically, ¡°Youngdy, I advise you to be more careful and stop trying to court death. The young master will note to see you. You¡¯re just a shu son that married in as a recement bride. You think you can be the honorable young madam of the Shen family? Stop daydreaming!" After talking, he rolled his eyes and went back down thedder. When he got down, he moved thedder away and left while humming a song.


    <span>Ye Zhizhou¡¯s mood at the moment could only be described as if he got shocked by five lightning bolts.


    <span>¡°Tongtian¡­ What did you say this body was called?"


    [Zou Ming.]


    <span>"Just a moment ago, what did that man say?!" Recement bride? Shen family¡¯s young madam? Isn¡¯t that the protagonist Zou Lan¡¯s setting?!


    The light screen shed as if it was testing the data, and then new words appeared. [The system has given all the information, please trust the system. ]


    What a familiar exnation¡­ He rubbed his face and wanted to ask again, but he wasn''t careful and stepped on the long hem of his changpao. His movement was toorge when he was trying to stabilize himself, and he ended up kicking the food box directly off the table beside his feet.


    Crash! Bang!


    The food box and the dishes inside it hit the ground. The emptiness of the first floor infinitely amplified the ear-piercing crashing sound, which made people get a jump scare. The middle-aged man rushed back up and screamed after he saw the hideous mess of food on the floor. He looked up to curse at Ye Zhizhou who was looking down, ¡°Zou Lan! Don¡¯t act so excessively! It doesn¡¯t matter if you have the ability to smash things! I¡¯m going to inform the Old Madam right now to let her drive you away! When that happens, let¡¯s see if you''ll continue to act like this!


    The middle-aged man hastily tidied up the mess and then angrily left. Ye Zhizhou tore off the long robe hem and immediately sat down on the ground. After a moment of silence, he asked quietly, ¡°Tongtian, just then, why did that man call me Zou Lan?¡±


    [The system has already given all the information.]


    The leftover smell of the meal lingered in the air. Ye Zhizhou sniffed a few times before taking out a bagful of buns from his space to resolve his hunger problem. He then carefully looked through the information.


    First, he checked over the timeline and saw that plot development was at about half a year after Zou Lan became the recement bride. He frowned and rubbed his chin. No matter how he looked at it, his situation right now did not look like Zou Ming, who was sent to hide in the countryside, but more like Zou Lan, who was confined to a remote courtyard by the Shen family. It''s almost impossible that the system would make a mistake on an important issue such as identity¡­ What¡¯s going on? Isn''t this a substitution marriage situation? Howe, at this moment, it looks like Zou Ming married in ce of himself, under his brother¡¯s name?


    ¡­ Could it be that there is a plot hole in the system''s information?


    [The plot information is correct, please trust the system.]


    He looked at the screen and his brows furrowed tensely. Since the system information is correct, then¡­ Suddenly, the plot of Sihan¡¯s world shed through his mind. His heart jumped and he rubbed his forehead.


    It can''t be¡­, Another roon cat bing the prince situation?


    Promptly flipping through the plot information again, he looked more attentively and found some clues. When Zou Lan and Zou Ming were four years old, they both had smallpox. Old Madam Zou was worried about being infected as well and had both children sent to the countryside for two years, regardless of her daughter-inw¡¯s objections. She did not bring them back to the capital until theypletely recovered. During this time, they were taken care of by Tao Dong, who contracted smallpox in her childhood.


    They returned to the capital two yearster. The previous gentle, quiet and lovable Zou Ming became charming and domineering while the lively and energetic Zou Lan, grew quiet instead, sometimes acting foolishly and was not very recognizable.


    Not very recognizable¡­ His heart sank. Two years is enough to change a lot of things, but if one wanted to swap children, how did they deal with the problem of appearance?


    He switched off the information screen and walked across the garret to stand in front of the dresser mirror. The obviously delicate and beautiful face he saw in the reflection of the small mirror became ordinary and average in the half-length dresser mirror. In the system''s description, Zou Ming was the capital''s most beautiful person¡­ He took out the small mirror, looked at it and saw the delicate and beautiful face again.


    Two mirrors, two different appearances.


    He put down the small mirror and felt his seemingly normal face. He asked, ¡°Tongtian, is there something wrong with you or is there a problem with this body''s face?¡±


    The small mirror shook, seeming very dissatisfied with his query. The light screen flickered before it popped up with huge words [After system upgrade, the system now has a demon revealing function, it can prate through all false appearances.]


    A face this in is actually a facade? He couldn¡¯t feel anything was wrong when he touched it!


    ¡°Give this body a scan.¡±


    The light screen faded away and transformed into a light beam that scanned his body.


    It stopped briefly on his face before a light screen popped out. [Body is healthy. Excellent fertility. Residue of poisonous substance on face. Suitable Pill: Meiyan Pill. ]


    As expected¡­


    ¡°Can you do a scan to determine how long the poisonous substance has existed??¡±


    The light beam swept up and down his face again and then a light screen popped out [More than ten years. The poison residue left behind is too heavy, there is a risk of disfigurement. ]


    He sat at the table, lost in thought.


    Now, it is almost certain that Tao Dong swapped Zou Lan and Zou Ming the year they had smallpox. It¡¯s no wonder that Tao Dong was so heartless to his ¡®son¡¯ in the original plot. It turned out the truth was that the two had swapped their identities when they were young. So when they swapped ces for the marriage, it was the fake Zou Ming knocking out the real Zou Ming, and then having the real Zou Ming marry his original fianc¨¦ under Zou Lan¡¯s identity?


    So the person who had the harem was actually Zou Ming¡­ Wait, it¡¯s not actually Zou Ming. Aftermitting suicide by jumping into the river, the real Zou Ming¡¯s soul had already gone up to heaven. The person who used his body transmigrated from the modern era, but from the start, his real name was never mentioned¡­


    Then in a sense¡­ Wasn''t he the protagonist of this world?! So, his task in the world is to stop himself from creating the harem? Wouldn''t his mission this time be super simple¡­


    [The protagonist is Zou Lan, and the four male protagonists are also supposed to be with Zou Lan. Please calm down host. ]


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s brain was already turned into mush from the plot so he straightforwardly asked, ¡°¡­ Why? Since the one who got married was me, I will also experience the divorce and the rejection by the Zou family. So it should be me that gets familiar with the four male leads. Wait, that''s not right! It¡¯s actually the person who transmigrated from the modern era! So I¡¯ll die and be reincarnated?!¡±


    The screen froze for a bit before it spat out a few words [The soul and body are 100%patible, there is no danger of being forced out. ]


    ¡°What¡¯s to be done about the four male leads? Without that soul from the modern era, how would they fall in love with Zou Lan? No, it¡¯s Zou Ming¡­ that¡¯s not right. Right now I¡¯m Zou Ming¡­ So eventually they¡¯ll fall in love with me?¡±


    The screen disappeared, refusing to talk with this mentally handicapped host.


    Ye Zhizhou smacked his head a few times before his train of thought went back to the plot. He tried really hard to get a clear understanding of his thoughts.


    In the end, it was Zou Lan who got together with the four male leads, but it was the modern soul in Zou Ming¡¯s body that met the four male leads and won over their feelings. Did Zou Lan and Zou Ming swap identities again?


    He quickly turned the plot information to when Kang Run stole the protagonist from the Shen family, and he found a faint starting point in his entangled thoughts.


    It was at this point, from here on, that the protagonist covered his face with the bamboo hat. Until he took Kang Run¡¯s antidote, he didn¡¯t take off the veiled hat at all. At that time, due to the effect of the poison, both the protagonist''s appearance and personality changed significantly¡­ This is absolutely a different person! The poison and everything else was just an excuse!


    Then where did the real Zou Ming go?


    Suddenly, the way the original Zou Ming died shed through his mind. He loosened his grip on the small mirror and felt a cold shiver run down his spine.


    In the original plot, Kang Run threw ¡°Zou Ming¡± into the brothel to help his sweetheart ''Zou Lan'' get revenge. He also took Zou Lan to see the live sex show. Could it be that moment that the fake Zou Ming discovered the real Zou Ming and came up with the idea of changing their identities again? Afterwards, the fake Zou Ming schemed to regain his identity, and the real Zou Ming entered the brothel¡­


    Ye Zhizhou felt confused again.


    In his childhood, this world¡¯s protagonist first robbed Zou Ming of his di son status along with the most enviable marriage at the time. Then, he stole the four male leads and lived happily with them. Afterwards, when he became the empress, he ruled from the shadows and was able to die peacefully of old age. The real Zou Ming was stripped of his identity, married his original fiance as a substitute, was sent back home and then abandoned by his family. After hemitted suicide by jumping into the river, his body was upied by another soul that used his body to get to know the four male leads. That is to say, throughout the whole plot, no matter how well Zou Ming lived, <span>he was just making a wedding dress for Zou Lan to wear.


    Zou Lan deserves to be called the protagonist. The good things are all his, and the consequences are Zou Ming¡¯s. From the beginning to the end, he only suffered in the brothel for a few days because Kang Run helped his sweetheart retaliate against the Zou family! Later on, he was always spoiled by the four male leads.


    This fucking plot! How on earth was the second identity swap aplished?! In the plot, Shen Tingwei was described as powerful and difficult to deal with. How could he miss the identity swap when he brought Zou Lan back?


    The plot was a hideous mess and from the beginning, he never understood it clearly. All kinds of real and fake Zou Mings and real and fake Zou Lans made his brain feel like exploding. Scratching his hair impatiently, he looked over the system information repeatedly, hoping to get the plot organized.


    ¡°Zou Lan, Zou Lan, get out here!¡±


    The voice of the middle-aged man interrupted his thoughts. He opened the door to go out and saw the man moving thedder over. The man said triumphantly, ¡°The old madam wants to see you. Tidy yourself up ande down. Thicken your skin. Maybe this time a retirement letter is waiting for you.¡±


    He was already feeling vexed because of the plot, so when he heard these words his face became dark. He directly wore the changpao that he tore and climbed down with his hair a mess after taking out the zhu hairpin. Not looking at the middle-aged man at all, he coldly said, ¡°Lead the way.¡±


    ¡°What kind of appearance is this? Completely scandalous! Go get changed!¡± The middle-aged man blew up and pointed straight at his face, ¡°And this hair! Do you still have any face, going out to meet people like this?"


    ¡°What face do I need if I¡¯m going to be divorced?¡± Ye Zhizhou pushed his hand aside, grabbed his hair and then tied it into a ponytail. He took the lead to walk out, ¡°It''s fine if you won''t lead the way, I''ll go by myself.¡±


    ¡°You, you¡­¡± The middle-aged man was speechless. He was angry for quite a while before angrily saying, ¡°A shu son has no education! You deserve to be retired!¡± <hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>At the time of this chapter, my mind was basically blown up¡­</strong>


    <strong>PS: Catching bugs.</strong>


    Poor modern and original Zou Ming. This arc is so confusing, the plot twist is so wild even author-san is confused.

 Chapter 73

    Ye Zhizhou had just walked through the courtyard door when the middle-aged man caught up with him. He red at him multiple times while saying many offensive things. Ye Zhizhou pretended not to hear him as he opened the system information and scolded the plot information constantly.


    15 minutester, they arrived at the courtyard where Old Madam Shen stayed. The middle-aged man stopped at the gate of the courtyard and the person leading him changed to a beautiful little servant girl. Perhaps his way of dressing was too horrifying but the servant girl had been secretly ncing at him.


    ¡°That¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou took his eyes off the screen and looked at the little servant girl who wished she hadn''t spoken.


    The little servant girl avoided his gaze, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, ¡°There are guests in the old Madam¡¯s room, you¡­do you¡­¡± As she pointed to his clothes, her voice became softer and softer, ¡°Do you need me to bring you a new robe?¡±


    This little servant girl is kind-hearted. He smiled at her and handed her a small pearl that he took out from his space. He said warmly, ¡°Thank you, but no need. No matter how I dress, the old madam won¡¯t care.¡±


    With eyes full of sympathy, she pushed back the pearl he offered her and shook her head, ¡°You¡¯re also a pitiful person¡­ In fact, the young master is a very good person, unfortunately¡­¡± After saying that, she bowed her head and resumed her respectful and cautious appearance like before.


    The young master is a very good person? Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows and put away the pearl. He carefully remembered the appearance of the servant girl and looked towards the main house that was in front of them.


    The main house was very lively. Besides Old Madam Shen, there were also a few richly dressed madams along with some exquisitely dressed youngdies and gers.


    Ye Zhizhou nced at them after he entered through the door and saw them carry on chatting while pretending not to see him. Sneering in his heart, he directly said, ¡°Old Madam, where is the <span>divorce letter?


    I¡¯ll take it and leave. Don¡¯t arrange these situations for me to see. It¡¯s no use.¡±


    Old Madam Shen''s face became stiff. Just now, she was thinking about giving him the cold-shoulder and then intimidating him. Her expression became dark and she looked at him angrily while saying, ¡°What kind of manners did you learn? The hired momo has taught you for almost a year. How is it that your way of speaking is still so rude and uncouth! And look at your hair and clothes, others will think that the Shen family is mistreating our precious daughter-inw!"


    Hired a momo to teach him? Did she mean the people she sent to keep an eye on the original owner? Who made him copy the three obediences and four virtues with the threat of no food otherwise?


    ¡°But aren''t you mistreating me?¡± He straightened out his sleeves and coolly said, ¡°Who¡¯s the precious daughter-inw? The one locked up in the garret and fed three meals a day, like a pet? The one whosedder to climb up and down from the garret is moved away? The one guarded by a bad-tempered servant? As for my hair and clothes, I''m not using your Shen family''s things. What are you being so fussy about?"


    Old Madam Shen didn''t expect him to talk back to her. She hit the table angrily and said, ¡°Impudent! Du Momo, hold him down for me and p him!¡±


    <span>Another p?


    <span>Ye Zhizhou snorted coldly and pulled out a toy sword from his space under the cover of his sleeve. He set the de on the neck of the woman beside him and shouted, ¡°Let''s see who dares to touch me today!¡± During the year when the original owner married into the Shen family, Old Madam Shen had summoned him three times. Each time, she tormented the original owner until he became seriously ill. If this happened in modern times, it would definitely be considered physical and mental abuse! Now, the other party still wants to repeat this. Not a chance!


    The main house instantly erupted in screams, and the Old Madam Shen was so startled she copsed into a chair. She screamed, ¡°Guards! Guards! Come in, drag this daring slut away for me, beat him to death with the rod!"


    The more courageous momo moved threateningly towards Ye Zhizhou. Upon seeing this, he took out a bag of powder from his space and scattered it in the air. Putting away his toy sword, he smiled, ¡°What I just scattered was poison. If you want to die, continue to surround me. Now¡­ Those that have been infected with the powder, does your body feel a bit cold and stimted?"


    The two madams and three momos who were rather close to him rushed to dust off the powder that had gotten on their bodies, and then turned pale after they felt the coldness of their skin. There was one or two of them with very delicate psychological states, so they fainted with their eyes rolling to the back of their heads.


    "You guys should calm down. The more stimted you get, the faster the poison will spread." He walked over to the chair, sat down and took out the bag of powder, shaking it. He looked towards Old Madam Shen, ¡°Old Madam, I won''t make it hard for you. If you give me the divorce letter, I¡¯ll give you the antidote. Isn''t this a good deal? If you insist on tormenting me to please your guests, that''s easy to deal with, everyone can die together. Anyway, I¡¯m just a shu son who married in as a recement bride. I¡¯m not as precious as you youngdies and masters."


    Old Madam Shen was angry but afraid. She was extremely unwilling to be threatened by the youngster who she could usually torment whenever she pleased. She refused his request resolutely, ¡°You want a divorce letter? Not happening! Tingwei can''tpletely recover in just a day, you will be my Shen Family''s daughter-inw forever!"


    He knew it would be like this, Ye Zhizhou sneered in his heart. This old Madam Shen is superstitious and overbearing. It would be very difficult for him to get the divorce letter from her ahead of time.


    ¡°The Shen family¡¯s daughter-inw?¡± He opened the bag of powder and dabbed a bit on his fingertip, ¡°I didn¡¯tplete the wedding bows, haven¡¯t been added to the family register and I haven¡¯t even seen Shen Tingwei¡¯s face. What kind of daughter-inw am I?¡± In the beginning, because there was no time and the Shen family was afraid of the unpleasant reputation of a <span>Chongxi marriage, the matter of the Zou and Shen family tying the knot was very low-key. After the substitute bride issue, the Shen family was even more unwilling to talk about the marriage and took great efforts to suppress all the outside news. Now, nearly a yearter, the people who knew the truth were too afraid of the Shen family¡¯s might so they did not dare to open their mouths and just pretended to be amnesiac. The ordinary people were simply confused by the fake news from the Shen family without even having the chance to know the truth.


    Old Madam Shen clutched her chest, looking like she was about to faint.


    Ye Zhizhou had been running the system¡¯s scanning function since he came in. He knew her body was very healthy and wouldn¡¯t be aggravated by this small scene so he calmly watched her put on a y. He unhurriedly scattered some more poison into the air and said, ¡°Are you guys feeling a little sleepy now?¡± Sleep. When you''re asleep you won''t feel anything."


    The timid youngdies and gers were already scared to the point of crying while the bold ones threw caution to the wind and started to scold him, some even attempted to hit him. Ye Zhizhou rested his sword in front of him and silently made a warning for them to behave. He would never go back to that cage-like garret. He didn¡¯t want to stay in the Shen house anymore, so he could only wrong these children. After this scene, he was ready to go back to the Zou house to y around a bit. The protagonist wants to continue to live afortable and carefree life using Zou Ming''s identity? Dream on!


    The cries and curses in the room became even louder, and the guards outside hurriedly rushed over


    Old Madam Shen knew very clearly the time needed for the Shen family guards to rush over. She quickly calmed down and started to threaten him, saying ¡°Zou Lan, I advise you to be more tactful. Kneel and hand over the antidote. Otherwise, if you force me to raise my hand, don¡¯t think you can take advantage of your ger status.¡±


    ¡°I didn''t n to take advantage of it,¡± Ye Zhizhou smiled sinisterly at her, "At worst, it¡¯s just a life. Rather than be tormented to death by you, I might as well drag some others with me into the grave aspanions on the journey to the Yellow Springs. Didn¡¯t you want to let me live so I can chase away your grandson¡¯s bad luck? I wonder what will happen if I die first. Will your grandson be able to live to 100 years? It¡¯s said that the fate of those whose Bazi is entangled will affect each other¡¯s life span.¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± Hearing him talk about her grandson, Old Madam Shen immediately broke through, ¡°Don''tpare your lowly life to Tingwei''s! You''re not worth anything!"


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s attitude became colder, ¡°Are all your daughter-inw¡¯s lives cheap? Only your son¡¯s and grandson¡¯s life is precious. What, is it not enough to torture your daughter-inw to death? You also want to torture this granddaughter-inw even though it''s just a title?" In the original plot, this Old Madam Shen did a lot of wicked deeds. She was the one who precisely killed Shen Tingwei¡¯s <span>mother during one winter. General Shen and Shen Tingwei were pressured by filial piety and could not do anything to the old madam. They simply ran to the border, stayed there for three to five years, and would never return to capital without the emperor¡¯s summons.


    The matter of her hounding her daughter-inw to death was a taboo subject for old Madam Shen. Once it¡¯s mentioned, she would explode. Coincidentally this was the moment the guard rushed in with his weapon, so she immediately screamed, ¡°Catch this slut for me! Blind both of his eyes, break his legs and send him to Gon Courtyard! Kill him for me!¡±


    After hearing those words, the guards promptly rushed forward to grab him. Ye Zhizhou indifferently nced at them as he took out a pill and rubbed it between his fingers. He sent out his spiritual power to surround them and slowly said, ¡°You are sleepy now. Go to sleep.¡± He dispersed the pill¡¯s scent into the air and condensed it with his spiritual power, sending it straight into the guards¡¯ noses. It took only a single breath for the fierce guards to fall to the ground with their eyes closed and unconscious. Afraid of really frightening those innocentdies and gers, he also ¡°considerately¡± sent some of the pill''s scent to them and ¡°coaxed¡± them to sleep.


    Old Madam Shen was horrified by the reversal and eximed, ¡°Monster! Monster! Y-you, what kind of ck magic did you use? Someonee, quickly, drag this monster away! Drag him away!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou brushed off the pill¡¯s residue from his hands and smiled at her, ¡°Old Madam, the divorce letter, will you write it or not?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯te over here!¡± Old Madam Shen couldn¡¯t help shrinking back and biting her teeth. Finally, shepromised and said, ¡°I''ll write it!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied with this answer. He came forward toy down a pen and piece of paper for her, reminding her, ¡°After writing it, remember to stamp it with the Shen family¡¯s official seal, otherwise the divorce will be invalid.¡± In this world, only two kinds of divorce letters are valid. One is with the signature and seal of the husband and the other is with the official seal of the husband¡¯s family. Any other form of divorce letter without these two kinds of seals is regarded as useless and invalid. In the original plot, old Madam Shen¡¯s divorce letter to the original owner is the second kind. In fact, in his heart, he would like to have a divorce contract, but those must be signed by both the husband and wife in a mutual agreement. In this kind of situation, he can only abandon the idea.


    After she finished writing the letter, he stared at Old Madam Shen as she stamped it with her official seal. He put the letter away with satisfaction and pulled open a bag full of powder, scattering it into the air, "Here''s the antidote. Now I have nothing to do with your Shen family. Goodbye.¡±


    Old Madam Shen clenched her fist and didn''t turn to look at him. Obviously thinking that not seeing him would make her feel better. The others who had awoken didn¡¯t dare to stop him even though they had been ¡°detoxified¡±, and all carefully gave way to him.


    Stepping around the guards on the ground, he happily lifted the main door¡¯s curtain to walk out and directly walked into the tall man who had been walking in. Due to the height difference, his nose just happened to hit the corbone of the person walking in. Hard bone hitting soft cartge, the oue was immediately obvious.


    ¡°Ouch, ouch, ouch¡­¡± Tears came out instantly, and his spiritual power also unconsciously came out and went into attack mode. He stepped back and covered his nose, hoarsely exhaling, and the anger in his heart exploded. Why couldn''t he finish this act pleasantly? His nose hurt so much, it couldn''t be broken right? What¡¯s more, he didn¡¯t even notice someoneing in. It¡¯s not scientific! Wait, didn¡¯t notice someoneing in?


    His anger subsided and he quickly raised his head to see a shadow pouncing straight at him. Then, the arm around his waist tightened, his eyes were covered and he was pressed into a dark embrace.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± A deep, cold and strong voice sounded next to his ear. Soon after, his ear was pinched and he felt a warm breath on it, ¡°I like your scent¡­ Your hair isn''t let down? You¡¯re already married?


    ¡­ He has heard these familiar lines in several lifetimes! Thoroughly confirming the identity of this person, he was annoyed and amused. Ye Zhizhou raised his leg to knee him and took advantage of him dodging to escape the embrace. He raised his head to see his lover¡¯s appearance in this life.


    En, very tall, a little dark, looks strong, very handsome, not bad.


    He couldn¡¯t help smiling, but he put on an aloof expression and said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t you know you should knock first before you enter the door? Also, randomly grabbing an unknown ger and dragging him into your arms. Do you still want face? Shameless! Beast!¡±


    The cold-faced man let himself get scolded. He nced at Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hair, looked at his clothes and murmured, ¡°Who is the man who married you?¡±


    Inside the room, Old Madam Shen noticed the movement and stillness at the door¡¯s entrance and raised her eyes to look. After seeing the person opposite of Ye Zhizhou, her eyes lit up and she stumbled to get up to run over. She said in a hurry, ¡°Tingwei, quick! Grab this rebelling servant! He wanted to poison me just now!¡±


    ¡°A rebelling servant?¡± Shen Tingwei frowned, moved sideways to avoid her touch and let the small servant behind him support her. He looked at Ye Zhizhou and asked in an uncertain tone, ¡°You poisoned my grandmother? Why?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked at him and then at Old Madam Shen. Suddenly, it felt like his heart was clogged. He rolled his eyes and said, ¡°Yes, I want to poison her. I also want to poison you right now! Don¡¯t you want to know who married me? Okay, I¡¯ll tell you. That person''s surname is Shen and his name is Tingwei, and, just now, I was divorced. Now, you''re my ex-husband. We have nothing to do with each other. Goodbye!" After that, he took the divorce letter out and dangled it at him before turning around to leave with a heart full of "fuck your mother". The identity of his lover was actually Shen Tingwei¡­ He seriously needs to calm down right now.


    ¡°You also want to poison Tingwei?!¡± Old Madam Shen heard those words and blew up. She pulled at Shen Tingwei and said, ¡°Tingwei, don¡¯t listen to his nonsense. You didn¡¯t marry him at all. He¡¯s just a shu bastard who was part of a Chongxi marriage! You go and grab him. I¡¯m going to lock him up and cure him of his arrogance!¡±


    ¡°<span>Chongxi marriage?¡± Shen Tingwei repeated these two words. The corners of his lips curved up and he unexpectedly smiled, ¡°So the man who married him is me?¡±<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you ¦á¨ã Want to guard the mines of Dexuan and Jun Shi for the mines! Love you so much = 3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: Patting all you silly little angels</strong>


    And the ML appears, ahahaha his reaction to YZZ is hrious

 Chapter 74

    Old Madam Shen thought he was angry and hurriedly said, ¡°Don''t worry Tingwei, I¡¯ve already got rid of him for you! In the future, you can marry any youngdy or master you like. I''ll help you deal with that Chongxi marriage bastard. You can feel at ease and focus on recuperating. Your body is important."


    The smile on Shen Tingwei¡¯s face disappeared. He looked at her indifferently, ¡°Whichever youngdy or master I want to marry, I can marry?¡±


    ¡°Of course!¡± Old Madam Shen seemed like she was blind and didn¡¯t notice her grandson¡¯s indifference at all. She only thought about herself as she excitedly and proudly said, ¡°My Shen family''s grandson is worthy of even Princess Junye! Don¡¯t worry, Tingwei. Grandma will help you choose someone that''s worthy of you in every respect!"


    ¡°Don''t bother.¡± Shen Tingwei looked away and waved to a momo, ¡°Help the old Madam up. She¡¯s tired. She needs more rest these days. Don¡¯t let her see anyone anymore.¡±


    The momo respectfully came forward to ''support'' the old Madam, holding her tightly. Old Madam Shen could only passively follow her to the main room, screaming as she walked away, ¡°What are you trying to do, you disobedient servant? Let go of me! Tingwei, you must catch that Zou Lan, I want to properly punish him!"


    Shen Tingwei, who already took a few steps outside turned back when he heard this, silently saying Zou Lan¡¯s name twice. He replied, ¡°Grandma, didn''t you say that any youngdy or master I wanted to marry, I could marry? This Zou Lan is very good. I want to marry him." He left after saying this, leaving behind a courtyard full of servants and a dumbfounded Old Madam Shen who was frightened by his words.


    ¡°Ting¡­¡± Old Madam Shen was dumbfounded, and then flew into a rage, ¡°That monster actually bewitched Tingwei! Someone! Go and catch Zou Lan! Grab him and burn him to death!¡±


    The servants looked at each other, then thought about what Shen Tingwei said before, and nobody dared to move. Although the Lord and young master were not in the mansion for most of the year, they still knew who the real master was. The young master had already said those things about Zou Lan, they didn''t dare to touch him again.


    ¡°Old Madam,¡± The old momo holding her gently wiped the back of her neck and said with a low and soft voice, ¡°When you''re this old, it''s better to avoid this emotional excitement. It¡¯s time for you to rest for the afternoon."


    Old Madam Shen¡¯s enraged expression froze, and she unexpectedly calmed down and followed the momo back into the room but with a rather stiff pace. The more perceptive servants observed this action and kept quiet out of fear. In their minds was a faint premonition that the Shen Family would change soon.


    Walking along the road back to the garret, Ye Zhizhou threw the divorce letter into his space. He climbed up thedder and began packing up the luggage and what little silver the original owner saved. When he opened the chest in the corner, he suddenly remembered the original owner''s dowry that was stolen by Old Madam Shen for ¡°safekeeping¡± and rubbed his forehead to soothe his headache. How could he forget that when he went to get the divorce letter? What should he do now? Go back to find Old Madam Shen and get the dowry back? But right now his lover must be with her¡­


    ¡°You lived in this kind of ce after you married into the family?¡±


    The sudden voice behind Ye Zhizhou frightened him so much that his heart wanted to pop out. He slowly exhaled, turned around with a dark face and threw the clothes he was holding directly at the personing in, ¡°You really can¡¯t learn how to knock before you enter, huh? Yeah, yeah, I¡¯ve been living in this kind of ce since I married in. Your Shen family is very kind to me! ¡±


    Shen Tingwei removed the thrown clothes that were on him, felt them and frowned, ¡°You usually wear these?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s gaze fell onto the clothes in Shen Tingwei¡¯s hands. It was just an ordinary blue robe. He replied with confusion, ¡°If I don''t wear that, am I supposed to just wear a bedsheet when I go out? Oh, yeah, I don¡¯t have to go out at all, I''m Shen Family''s precious caged canary." After saying this, he turned around in a huff and continued to take clothes out of the chest.


    Shen Tingwei looked around the dimly lit garret, his eyes stopped on the thin bed momentarily before it fell onto Ye Zhizhou¡¯s frail back. Unable to stop himself, he reached forward to touch it, ¡°How were the three daily meals served? Were they delivered by a servant?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and shook off his hand. He pulled out a piece of wrapping cloth and began to clumsily pack his luggage. He didn¡¯t want to deal with Shen Tingwei.


    ¡°There is no one to serve you?¡± Shen Tingwei didn¡¯t mind his cold attitude at all. Every time Ye Zhizhou set a piece of clothing onto the wrapping cloth, he would take one out. He also started to ask some personal questions with an honest face, ¡°What normally happens when you bathe? Who brings you the bathwater? Who washes your underclothes?"


    So angry!


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± Trying to pack his luggage resulted in the other taking out clothes faster than he could pack. Besides, it¡¯s not like he could win against him in a fight. He threw aside the wrapping cloth and raised his head to look at Shen Tingwei, but that caused him to be even angrier! In this life, the height difference between him and his lover was too excessive and cruel, it made him feel like he was already losing the quarrel!


    <span>"Why do you ask so many questions? If you want to know how I usually live, you should ask your Shen family servants, okay?¡± Running a hand through his hair, Ye Zhizhou sat down on a stool and took a deep breath, pressing down a baffling and unusual explosive temper. He earnestly asked, ¡°What on earth are you trying to do, young General Shen? Don¡¯t tell me that your family¡¯s daughter-inw can¡¯t take her dowry with her when she gets divorced?¡±


    ¡°You should address me as ''husband'',¡± Shen Tingwei sat down in front of him and lifted the teapot that was on the table. He paused momentarily, frowned again and put it down, ¡°The servants didn¡¯t prepare tea for you either?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou sneered, ¡°Tea? I didn¡¯t know your Shen family still had such a thing called tea. Don¡¯t you just have water? In fact, just cold water.¡± The original owner was a very naive and honest person, and because of that, he was bullied by the servants and masters of the Shen family like this. After going through the original owner¡¯s memory, he wanted to just burn the Shen house down!


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s face became dark, and he got up again to look at the dowry chest. He continued to ask, ¡°Is that all you have in your dowry? Is your family not treating you well?"


    Sure enough, there are more questions!


    "I had more in my dowry. Unfortunately, they were all taken by your grandmother. As for my family¡­ I was forced to marry you as a substitute, a recement. Do you understand that? Now, I just want to pack my things, go home and settle ounts with my family. Can young General Shen stop making trouble for me?"


    ¡°I¡¯ll help you,¡± Shen Tingwei turned to look at him, raised his hand and touched his hair, ¡°I''ll take care of you from now on, don''t be afraid.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s bellyful ofints about the Shen family dispersed. Suddenly, he felt the urge to throw himself into his lover¡¯s arms, cast away his dignity and act spoiled. But, when he remembered how the original owner was wronged, it would be extremely unfair to him. He avoided Shen Tingwei¡¯s hand with a serious look on his face and spoke after a moment of silence, ¡°Give me back my entire dowry.¡±


    ¡°Ok,¡± Shen Tingwei withdrew his hand, dragged a stool over and sat down next to him and looked at him profoundly, ¡°If you have any other requests, just say it¡±


    Avoiding his line of sight, Ye Zhizhou got up to walk to the dowry chest and took out the dowry list that was buried at the bottom. He set it on the table, ¡°Give me back everything on this list.¡± After he finished making trouble at the Zou family, he still has to travel all across the corners of the country to take care of the four male leads. Having no money would be a problem.


    Shen Tingwei put the list away and said without blinking, ¡°I''ll double it for you.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou choked. This scoundrel was truly generous. The Zou family¡¯s dowry was prepared for a di son, doubling it was simply frightening.


    ¡°Now that it¡¯s settled, I¡¯ll be going.¡± He abandoned the clothes and used the unupied space to pack away the valuable jewelry and silver, then left straight away. Although he wanted to spend more time with his lover, the protagonist of the world was too enigmatic and he felt a little ufortable in his heart. So, getting into a rtionship and what not can be handled another time. He already knows who his lover is anyway,


    Shen Tingwei suddenly got up and hugged him from behind, his hands shamelessly touching him all over.


    Instantly, the sadness he felt from his decision to temporarily separate vanished. Ye Zhizhou became angry and stomped on him, ¡°Where do you think you¡¯re touching? You scoundrel, let me go! I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person! I misjudged you!¡± He thought his lover in this world was an honest person, he absolutely didn¡¯t imagine that he was actually a stinky rogue!


    In terms of strength, a ger couldn''t even dream of beating a regr male. His struggle was totally ineffective. He was gently but forcefully caressed from top to bottom by Shen Tingwei and then groped from front to back until his body went soft and his cheeks became flushed, even his breathing was unstable.


    The hands finally stopped at his hips and then slowly withdrew. Shen Tingwei frowned at him, and his eyes fell onto his cor.


    Ye Zhizhou quickly lifted his hand, grabbed his cor and retreated, shy and angry. ¡°You-you-you, what are you trying to do!¡± Simply touching him and not doing anything, lighting a fire in him but not extinguishing it. Simply inhumane!


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s gaze moved to his flushed cheeks again. His eyes shed and he moved forward to hold Ye Zhizhou in his arms again. He lowered his head and blew into his ears, ¡°Zou Lan, you don¡¯t hate my touch, do you?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou''s body shivered sensitively and then struggled with shame and indignation. In this world, ger can have children, so he firmly can''tpromise! Absolutely not! Even, even if he was touched very well, it''s out of the question! The hands that were on his back began to move restlessly again, and when the cold and strong voice became warm, it turned into an ambiguous sexual voice. He felt a warm breath between his ears and his neck, making his waist feel numb and turning both his legs weak.


    A ger¡¯s body seems to be more sensitive¡­ He struggled with his feeble strength, his face blushing and his head bowed against the other¡¯s shoulders. He grabbed his lover¡¯s cor weakly. I-if he really needed to¡­


    Shen Tingwei seemed to be very satisfied with his reaction and his tone became lower and gentler. He softly touched Ye Zhizhou''s back and whispered in his ear, ¡°Zou Lan, tell me, where you hide the divorce letter?¡±


    ¡°Divorce letter?¡± Ye Zhizhou stared at him nkly and his struggle stoppedpletely.


    Shen Tingwei kissed his small earlobe, a dim light shed in his eyes, and he continued to coax him, ¡°Yes, divorce letter, where did you put it?¡±


    ¡°Of course, it''s in¡­¡±


    ¡°En?¡±


    "In¡­"


    "Xiao Lan?"


    ¡°In a ce where you''ll never find it!¡± Ye Zhizhou hatefully pushed him aside. After ring at him, he turned and ran away. Despicable! Actually trying to use his looks seduce the letter out of him! So, the reason why the other person followed him back and asked all those questions was so he could take the divorce letter back? And that random groping¡­ Damn it! He actually wasn''t as attractive as a divorce letter!


    The half-formed charming and devilish smile on Shen Tingwei¡¯s face froze, and his face once again sported a cold and stiff expression. He stepped forward to block Ye Zhizhou.


    ¡°Don¡¯te over here! Otherwise, I¡¯ll jump off the tform!¡± The anger in Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heart went through the roof because he misunderstood Shen Tingwei''s emotions. He intentionally stood on the edge of the garret tform, and pointed out angrily, ¡°You don¡¯t even know my real name, and you dare to ask me where the divorce letter is? You are Xiao Lan, and your whole family is Xiao Lan!" After saying this, he quickly climbed down thedder in 2 or 3 jumps and rushed out of therge door.


    Shen Tingwei was shocked by his series of actions and tried to rush forward to protect him, but was stopped by a sudden pain in his abdomen. There was a taste of blood in his throat. Frowning deeply, he hesitated but abandoned the idea of pursuing. He recalled what the other had said and whistled to call his guard. After giving him a few orders, he leaned against the wall to wait until the pain eased a bit, before jumping down from the garret. He walked towards Old Madam Shen¡¯s courtyard.


    Ye Zhizhou was livid as he walked out of the Shen mansion from the side door and directly stormed in the direction of the Zou mansion. The two mansions were a little far apart. He walked the entire way in a rage for about half an hour straight before he reached his destination. He only calmed down suddenly when he stood right in front of the door of the Zou Mansion. The protagonist should still be living happily in the countryside as Zou Ming. He wanted to expose the imposter''s identity and the best way to do this was through Yuan Hui. However, due to the recement marriage situation, Zou Qing locked Yuan Hui up. Since he showed up now, he would likely be driven away by Zou Qing and Tao Dong, just like in the original plot. He probably won''t even be able to see Yuan Hui''s face.


    ¡­ Still a little too impulsive.


    He put down the hand that was ready to knock on the door. He ignored the stares of the passers-by, walked into a side alley next to the Zou mansion and leaned against the wall while frowning. What should he do now? Sneak in after dark to see Yuan Hui? Right now, his ger body was just too weak, and the ancient courtyard wall was too high¡­ It seems like he will need to use his spiritual power to knock them out again.


    Suddenly, a shadow fell in front of him. With a suspicious feeling in his heart, he looked up. Sure enough, he saw the cold and handsome face of Shen Tingwei again.


    ¡°Why did youe here?¡± He lowered his head listlessly, poking the small mirror in his arms.


    ¡°Apanying you to your parents¡¯ home.¡± When Shen Tingwei saw him like this his heart softened. He led him to a carriage parked at the entrance of the alley and stuffed a change of clothes into his arms. Then, he took out an ornament box, opened it to take out a hairpin made of blood coral, andpared it next to his head, ¡°This was my mother¡¯s favorite set of ornaments, it suits you very well.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou actually felt a little touched and started muttering, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to apany me, you divorced me already.¡± Yes, he¡¯s just being unreasonable! His lover was right in front of him, not being unreasonable would be a waste!


    The Shen Tingwei, who was unsessful in stealing back the divorce letter, was silent for a moment. He set down the hairpin and brought Ye Zhizhou into his embrace, rubbing his messy hair, ¡°Then I will marry you again. Last time doesn''t count, I did not know of your existence then."


    ¡°If you say it doesn''t count, then it doesn''t count. If you say to remarry and then remarry, what kind of reputation would I have?¡± Ye Zhizhou arched out of his arms and touched the delicate lines on his clothes. His heart was already soft, but his mouth was still hard, ¡°I don¡¯t want to wear hairpins. I am clearly a man.¡±


    Shen Tingwei had a helpless smiling expression in his eyes. He set down the hairpin, gently let down Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hair and smoothed it with ab. Then, he neatly tied it up and fastened it with a crown. When he retracted his hand, he even touched his earlobe and boasted with a cold attitude, ¡°You look good no matter how you dress.¡±


    Even with this mediocre and ordinary-looking face, he¡¯s good looking¡­ His face was full of disapproval but his heart was full of happiness. Ye Zhizhou let out a little snort. He boldly took off his outer robe and the robes underneath it and began to change clothes, forgetting the fact that this world¡¯s ger was very different from males.


    Shen Tingwei silently put down the right leg that was raised in preparation to step off the carriage. He thought about it seriously and reduced his presence, gazing deeply at his wife who was changing clothes with his fingers rubbing unconsciously. It looked like he wanted to help him.


    Five minutester, the disgraced, abandoned husband became a noble young lord.


    Shen Tingwei took out a jade pendant and hung it on him. Finally, he felt satisfied and jumped out of the carriage with him, despite his resistance.


    The Zou Mansion''s door was already open, Zou Qing was waiting at the door with Tao Dong. When he saw that the person who came down from the Shen family carriage was Shen Tingwei, he was stunned and stared nkly. Zou Qing greeted them with a dignified face and a "you want to fight,e anytime" kind of attitude.


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s attitude wasn''t very friendly. He raised his hand and gave him a greeting gift before he stiffly called out father-inw.


    Zou Qing¡¯s expression was stiff and Tao Dong, who was pretending to be a wallflower, was stunned silly. When the servants came to announce that they saw a carriage of the Shen family¡¯s parked at the door, they thought the Shen family had enough of the peaceful times and was ready to make trouble, but now¡­


    Ye Zhizhou, who was totally ignored by them, made a low cough and stepped forward. First, he saluted Zou Qing, calling him father. Then, he looked at Tao Dong, nodded his head as a greeting, but did not open his mouth to call her.


    Only after he did that did Zou Qing notice him, and after a short moment finally recognized him. He was shocked, ¡°Lan-Er, why are you¡­¡±


    ¡°Lan-Er? You are Zou Lan?" Tao Dong couldn¡¯t help eximing. Seeing Zou Qing¡¯s frown, she quickly put on an expression of distress and concern. She took two steps forward and reached out to touch his face, sadly saying, ¡°Lan-er, why are you thin¡­¡± As she said this she looked at the Shen Tingwei next to him, her eyes shed with a light, ¡°Also, why are you and General Shen¡­¡±


    ¡°Concubine Tao,¡± Shen Tingwei stepped forward and separated her hands, his eyes were cold, ¡°Your nails are too long. Be more careful or else you''ll hurt him.¡± After saying that, he looked at Zou Qing with dissatisfaction in his eyes, ¡°Why does father-inw bring a concubine to wee guests? This iscking manners."


    Zou Qing was stumped by this question. Tao Dong''s expression became cold, her eyes shed with a trace of resentment.


    Ye Zhizhou turned his head to give Shen Tingwei a profound look, giving him a thumbs-up in his heart, and furiously pped his hands. This ability to pull hatred is too strong!<hr>

 Chapter 75

    Everyone sat down in the main hall. The atmosphere was a little cold and also a bit awkward.


    Tao Dong kept ncing at Ye Zhizhou with an expression full of worry and distress, having the appearance of wanting to be concerned but not daring to do so.


    On the way here, Shen Tingwei began to roughly understand the recement marriage situation, but he could see Ye Zhizhou''s dislike for his birth mother, Concubine Tao. With another cold expression, he said, "Father-inw, even if you brought a concubine to wee guests, how could you let a concubine attend to them?"


    When Zou Qing heard Shen Tingwei¡¯s words, his face turned ck and he turned to stare at Tao Dong, ¡°Why are you still here? Withdraw! Let a servant bring tea!¡±


    Tao Dong tightly gripped her handkerchief and pressed down her moodiness. She stood up submissively, said goodbye and left. When she left, she deliberately passed by Ye Zhizhou¡¯s side and gently patted him on the shoulder, giving him a meaningful look.


    Ye Zhizhou acted like he didn¡¯t see it. He hung his head and sat beside Shen Tingwei, pretending to be quiet.


    Waiting for her to leave, Zou Qing straightened out his emotions and took the lead to say, ¡°Young General Shen¡­"


    ¡°Father-inw doesn¡¯t have to be so polite. You can call me Tingwei,¡± Shen Tingwei interrupted him, saluted again and said, ¡°Previously, I was busy recovering so I couldn¡¯t bring Xiao Lan back to visit. I hope father-inw won¡¯t take offense.¡±


    Zou Qing felt extremely uneasy with Shen Tingwei addressing him as father-inw so he moved his gaze to Ye Zhizhou. He habitually frowned and put on a strict father¡¯s face, "Lan-er, if you wanted toe back with Shen¡­with Tingwei¡­ Then you should at least send someone in advance to inform me. Father also needs time to prepare to prevent neglecting precious guests."


    ¡°I wanted to give Xiao Lan a nice surprise, so I didn¡¯t tell him ahead of time,¡± Shen Tingwei strongly took the me, then very stiffly changed the topic to government affairs, "These days, it seems like the emperor is investigating the salt gang in Huainan. I wonder if father-inw has heard about it?"


    Zou Qing¡¯splexion changed a bit. The Huainan salt gang has a lot of poisonous tumors from the Ministry of Revenue and several of them were even promoted by him. It seemed like the emperor was truly preparing to regte that ce¡­ He looked at Shen Tingwei inquiringly but saw that the other party still had an emotionless cold face. He churned these thoughts in his head for a bit before his facial expression eased up to be more rxed and he turned to Ye Zhizhou to say, ¡°Lan-er, since you finally got the chance toe and visit, don¡¯t dy here with Father. Go and see your mother.¡±


    He was sending him away because he wanted to discuss proper business. Ye Zhizhou firmly held back Shen Tingwei who was about to speak while rising to say goodbye, ¡°Then Lan-er will be excused first. Father, husband, have an enjoyable talk." After saying goodbye, he shook off the hand that snuck over from Shen Tingwei, quickly saluted and turned around to eagerly walk towards Yuan Hui¡¯s courtyard, seemingly calm but was actually impatient. He came to the Zou mansion ready to make a scene, how could he continue to apany Zou Qing and waste time?


    When he arrived at the garden¡¯s entrance, he felt Tao Dong''s presence in his spiritual and frowned. He stopped a Zou family servant and gave him an order. Then, he changed his path and walked towards Yuan Hui¡¯s courtyard.


    Yuan Hui¡¯s courtyard door was tightly closed, not at all as lively like it was before, in the original Zou Ming¡¯s memory.


    He knocked on the door and waited awhile for it to open, but the first thing the person who opened the door did was question him with a bad attitude. He was not in the mood to deal with these difficult servants, so he used his spiritual power to clear the way and was unhindered as he went to the family hall where Yuan Hui was confined to. The momo that constantly apanied Yuan Hui wanted to block his path, but she was simply and crudely knocked out by a pill. In the family hall, Yuan Hui heard the movements and came out quietly, just in time to see the momo copsing. She was so frightened that she opened her mouth to scream, but was quickly stopped by Ye Zhizhou.


    "Mother, do you remember, when I was little I hid in your sedan chair and followed you to the Baiyun temple?"


    Yuan Hui froze and stared at him with wide eyes, struggling violently after she saw his appearance and vaguely called him, ¡°Zou Lan.¡±


    <span>Ye Zhizhou frowned, searched the original owner''s memories, and continued, ¡°When I was three years old, I tore up father¡¯s painting. It was mother who helped me hide it and deceived father by saying that a wild cat hade in and destroyed it.¡±


    <span>Yuan Hui stopped struggling and looked at him with eyes full of shock. This type of matter should only be known by her and Mingming. How could Zou Lan¡­


    At a nce, he understood her train of thought and continued to talk, "When I was three and a half years old, I took a nap in brother¡¯s bed and wet it. I was afraid of being mocked by you, so I falsely used brother of wetting the bed, and caused him to be scolded by father.¡±


    "Another time during new year celebrations, I smashed your <span>vanity dresser¡­"


    One event after another, one item after another, Yuan Huipletely quieted down and looked at him in a daze, her eyes doubtful, confused and vacant.


    ¡°Mother, whether you believe it or not, I am Zou Ming. The one you sent to the countryside was Zou Lan.¡± He slowly loosened the hand that covered her mouth, looked into her eyes and said earnestly, ¡°When I was four, Tao Dong deliberately allowed me to get into contact with a smallpox patient and then made a pretense that Zou Lan was also infected. She encouraged Grandma to send me and Zou Lan to the countryside. Half a monthter, Tao Dong also arrived in the countryside. She made me wear Zou Lan¡¯s clothes, repeatedly wiped a liquid medicine on my face that changed my appearance, brainwashed me and made me think that I was Zou Lan.¡±


    Yuan Hui gaped, and the vacant look in her eyes turned into shock.


    He showed her the Meiyan Pill, then pointed at his face, ¡°This face is fake. It was made by Tao Dong¡¯s medication. Recently, I remembered my childhood memories and realized Tao Dong¡¯s plot. I managed to get the antidote to restore my appearance. Mother, I am truly Zou Ming.¡±


    ¡°You are¡­ Mingming?" Yuan Hui hesitated, wanting to reach out to touch his face. Halfway through, she stopped and shook her head, ¡°No, it¡¯s impossible. How can you possibly be Mingming? Mingming is in the countryside. You are deceiving me. You must be deceiving me.¡±


    ¡°Mother!¡± Ye Zhizhou was helpless. Once again, he searched through the memories of the original owner and said with shame, ¡°There is a mole on your lower back. Once, you and father¡­ I identally saw it. You and father thought I was asleep, so¡­ At that time, your clothes were pink with butterflies embroidered on them."


    Yuan Hui was motionless but then rushed over with agitation, ¡°How do you know this? How could you possibly know this? How could you know this when it was only Mingming that used to sleep with me? Mingming told you right? Zou Lan, you can¡¯t lie to me!¡±


    ¡°Mother, I didn¡¯t lie to you. I am Zou Ming,¡± Ye Zhizhou looked into her eyes and affirmed, ¡°The one you''ve been calling Zou Ming, he doesn''t have any of these memories. If you don¡¯t believe me, you can write to him and ask! Also, the momo and maid by your side have been bought by Tao Dong already, they have been brainwashing you, wake up!"


    ¡°No! How could I possibly not recognize my child¡­¡± Yuan Hui covered her face, shook her head vigorously, and her voice gradually became increasingly choked with sobs, ¡°I don¡¯t believe it. How can you be Mingming! If you are Mingming, what have I done over the years? How can you¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou sighed in his heart. He took her into his arms and patted her on the back soothingly, using his spiritual power tofort her while saying, ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, I can take the antidote to restore my appearance now. When you see my true appearance, you will understand everything.¡±


    Yuan Hui¡¯s cries weakened and she bowed her head to wipe her tears. She moved out of his arms and looked at him closely for a moment. Suddenly, her gaze became firm, ¡°You said your face was false. It was Tao Dong who gave you the medicine that changed your appearance?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou nodded.


    ¡°You have the antidote?¡±


    Another nod.


    Yuan Hui¡¯s eyes shed with a trace of ruthlessness and she pulled him as she walked out, ¡°That''s good. Let¡¯s go find your father, and then bring Tao Dong to confront her! You take the antidote at the scene to show me! If you dare to deceive me, I will definitely drive you and Tao Dong out of the Zou mansion together!"


    This demand coincides with Ye Zhizhou¡¯s intention. While continuing to output his spiritual power, he cooperated with Yuan Hui as they walked towards the main hall.


    Zou Qing was questioning Shen Tingwei about the salt gang in Huainan District when he saw Yuan Hui pulling Ye Zhizhou in with her. He couldn''t help his expression bing cold as he shouted, ¡°Why did youe here? You''re not needed here, go to the back garden."


    Yuan Hui ignored him and let go of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand. She went to the door, asked the servant to bring Tao Dong here and sat down calmly.


    ¡°You!¡± Zou Qing mmed the table wanting to scold her. Seeing that Shen Tingwei rose to meet Ye Zhizhou, he swallowed back the scolding and pressed down his temper to say, "Wife, what is the meaning of this? There are still guests here."


    ¡°You¡¯ll know very soon what I¡¯m trying to do.¡± Yuan Hui adjusted her cor and looked at him. Her eyes were cold and indistinctly looked like it had hardened into ice to hide a needle, ¡°Husband, your mother took in a good concubine for you.¡±


    The space between Zou Qing¡¯s eyebrows twitched and he took several deep breaths before he managed to press down the anger that was almost breaking through the sky.


    Shen Tingwei listened to the conversation between the two and inquisitively nced at Ye Zhizhou.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± Ye Zhizhou pressed him down into a chair. He came close and said, ¡°Whatever you see in a moment, don''t be surprised.¡±


    Tao Dong came to the main hall suspicious. Seeing Yuan Hui who was sitting on the side, along with everyone¡¯s expressions made her heart a little nervous, ¡°Lord, Madam, this is¡­"


    ¡°Stand on the side,¡± Yuan Hui waved her hand and interrupted her. Looking towards Ye Zhizhou with hope and madness in her eyes she said, ¡°Take the antidote. Eat it right now.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou broke away from Shen Tingwei¡¯s hand and got up with everyone¡¯s doubtful and dissatisfied eyes trained on him. He went to the tableside and took the medicine. Afterwards, he poured a cup of warm tea, wet his handkerchief and began to wipe his face vigorously.


    When Tao Dong saw him do this, herplexion changed, and her heart couldn¡¯t help skipping a beat.


    Shen Tingwei nced at his palms and got up to sit down next to Ye Zhizhou. He looked at him seriously.


    As he wiped, the handkerchief was gradually stained with yellow and the smooth skin of his face became wrinkled. Yuan Hui couldn¡¯t resist leaning over to look and Zou Qing¡¯s eyes filled with a bit of astonishment.


    ¡°Lan-er, you¡­¡±


    ¡°Father should not be restless. It¡¯s just some old toxins. Once it¡¯s discharged it¡¯ll be fine,¡± Ye Zhizhou raised his head to reassure him. He red at Shen Tingwei who began to stir, but then bowed his head and continued to wipe his face.


    Tao Dong finally couldn¡¯t stand it and said impatiently, ¡°Lan-er, what are you doing? There are still guests here. You¡¯re being discourteous. Stop it.¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± Yuan Hui red at her and then shouted out, ¡°Someonee in, tie up Concubine Tao and gag her!¡±


    Zou Qing instinctively wanted to block this but hesitated after seeing Yuan Hui¡¯s fierce eyes and Ye Zhizhou¡¯s face.


    The servant came quickly. Tao Dong was tied up and her mouth was gagged before she had the time to struggle and scream. Her eyes gradually became panic-stricken.


    15 minutester, a yellowishyer of skin on Ye Zhizhou¡¯s face was finally rubbed off, revealing the tender, fair but red and swollen skin inside. The warm tea was reced by a basin of warm water, and many handkerchiefs were used. He rubbed until his hands were sore, and his heart grew more sympathetic for the original owner. The medicine had prated the skin and flesh for more than ten years. If it wasn''t for the pill given by the system, the original owner''s face wouldn''t have been able to be restored in this lifetime.


    Layer afteryer, his face shape became noticeably smaller, and his delicate straight nose was exposed. Because of his thicker, drooping upper eyelids, his original listless gaze gradually turned back into his original lively gaze. Finally, after tearing off thestyer of dead skin, his dark and slightly purple lips became red and plump.


    Yuan Hui looked at him with her breathing bing more and more rapid. When he finally showed his face, she couldn¡¯t help but muffle her mouth while emitting a low cry.


    The water in the basin already became a faint yellow, and the handkerchief that he was using was ck. Ye Zhizhou took the new handkerchief that Shen Tingwei handed him and wiped his face. He smiled at Yuan Hui, ¡°Mother, it¡¯s been more than ten years. Do you still remember how I looked like when I was a child? Do I look simr to how I did when I was young?¡±


    ¡°Yes, very much¡­Mingming¡­¡± Yuan Hui threw herself forward and with a trembling hand she touched his face. Tears finally fell, ¡°You are Mingming? Th-then the one I raised for so many years¡­ You, how do you¡­ I¡­Mingming, you really are¡­¡±


    Zou Qing was also shocked by his appearance. He couldn¡¯t help asking aloud, ¡°What''s going on? How could your face be like this? Wife, why are you saying he¡¯s Mingming? What the hell¡¯s going on here?"


    The tied-up Tao Dong''s eyes filled with despair and she lowered her head with a pale face.<hr>

 Chapter 76

    After crying for a while, Yuan Hui calmed down. She lightly felt Ye Zhizhou¡¯s face and then got up after wiping her tears. She quickly walked over to Tao Dong and pped her fiercely, ¡°Slut!¡±


    With such a hard hit, Tao Dong¡¯s cheeks quickly became red and swollen. Tao Dong''s carefully maintained skin was cut by nails and rings, and several bloody scratches appeared. Tao Dong wanted to defend herself, but her mouth was gagged and she could only make vague whimpers. She didn¡¯t expect that after 10 years, Zou Ming¡¯s poisoned face had the possibility of recovery!


    ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Shen Tingwei waited for Yuan Hui to leave before he slightly twisted himself and extended his finger to gently touch Ye Zhizhou¡¯s face. He quickly retracted his finger, took out a small, delicate bottle and poured out some ointment. Carefully, he helped Ye Zhizhou apply it on his face, ¡°So your name is Zou Ming? Were you the one that was engaged to me back then?"


    The ointment felt cool andfortable on his face as Shen Tingwei applied it. Ye Zhizhou withdrew the hand that was searching around his space, nodded perfunctorily to him and turned his gaze back to the show, ncing meaningfully at Zou Qing. Heced his voice with some spiritual power and described the events of that year in a simple and concise manner.


    The more Zou Qing heard, the more shocked he was. After hearing all the facts, his shock turned into anger. He strode towards Tao Dong and angrily said, ¡°Trying to mix up the di and shu bloodlines, Tao Dong, to think you would actually go this far. You¡¯re demented! Madam was right, I sure did take a good concubine!"


    Tao Dong looked at him with tears in her eyes, shaking her head desperately, trying to arouse his pity. Seeing this action, Yuan Hui couldn¡¯t help giving her another p.


    ¡°Someonee! Drag Concubine Tao away and shut her up in the ancestral hall!¡± Zou Qing turned his head away in disgust, not wanting to look at her. He walked back to Ye Zhizhou¡¯s side and hesitated for a moment before reaching out to gently pat him on the shoulder while saying, ¡°Ming¡­ Mingming, these years I have wronged you, rest assured father will take responsibility. In the future, there will be no Concubine Tao in this family."


    Concubine Tao, who was currently being dragged out by a servant, whimpered in horror as she heard these words. She struggled wildly. Yuan Hui sneered and went over to help the servant. After she threw her out of the main hall, she closed the main hall door.


    Seeing this, Ye Zhizhou deliberately paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Thank you, father¡­ Since Concubine Tao is¡­ Then the real Zou Lan in the countryside¡­ What is father going to do with him?"


    Zou Qing frowned when he heard these words and a trace of embarrassment shed across his face. What Concubine Tao did was indeed very evil, but Zou Lan was his son after all. The year when the children were swapped, Zou Lan was also young, he didn¡¯t have any evil intentions¡­


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to do anything. He wrote to me a while ago, saying that life in the countryside was morefortable. Since that¡¯s the case, just let him stay in the countryside,¡± Yuan Hui came over with a cold face. She sat on the other side of Ye Zhizhou and took his hand with a cold glint in her eyes, "Moreover, he''s almost at a marriageable age. He can resume his status as a shu son and then get married into a simr family. The Zou family has been raising him as a di son all these years, we haven''t treated him unfairly."


    Zou Qing thought about it and then nodded in agreement to her proposal, ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you. Today¡¯s matter is too important, I need to inform my mother¡­ This¡­ Tingwei, as you can see¡­¡±


    ¡°Father-inw doesn¡¯t have to worry about me,¡± Shen Tingwei, who was eager to be alone with Ye Zhizhou, hastily said that he didn¡¯t mind.


    ¡°I¡¯ll go with you, husband.¡± Yuan Hui thought of Old Madam Zou¡¯s favoritism towards Tao Dong and suspected that she was probably aware of the fact that the children were swapped. After listening to Zou Qing¡¯s remarks, she quickly got up and walked to his side, ¡°As the first wife, having this kind of situation in the residence is my fault. I should go and ask mother for forgiveness.¡±


    Zou Qing didn¡¯t expect her to be so reasonable. He felt a bit moved and showed a rare bit of tenderness as he took her hand and patted it. After giving a brief farewell to Shen Tingwei, Zou Qing took Yuan Hui to Old Madam Zou¡¯s courtyard.


    Soon, only Ye Zhizhou and Shen Tingwei were left in the main hall. After everyone left, Shen Tingwei immediately went forward to bring Ye Zhizhou into his arms. He lowered his head and moved close to Ye Zhizhou, kissing him, ¡°You were originally this good-looking.¡±


    The satisfaction and pleasure he felt in his heart from exposing the conspiracy shattered into pieces. He raised his hand and grabbed at Shen Tingwei¡¯s face, pushing it away while grinding his teeth, ¡°So you thought my face before was ugly?¡±


    Knowing that he had touched a mine, Shen Tingwei paused for a moment and then said with a straight face, ¡°Mingming is good-looking, no matter how you dress.¡±


    ¡°Those words sound familiar.¡± The way Shen Tingwei addressed him also changed fast. Ye Zhizhou broke away from his embrace and put on a fake smile, ¡°Young General Shen, your value has already disappeared. Once we leave the Zou mansion, we can each go our way. Stop taking advantage of me, embracing me and kissing me. I still want to marry someone in the future.¡± He still held a grudge from the previous random groping incident. He thinks he can eat meat, dream on!


    Shen Tingwei''s face became dark, ¡°Who would you want to marry?¡±


    ¡°It''s none of your business,¡± Ye Zhizhou looked at him with empty eyes, ¡°There are a lot of talented young people outside. I will marry whomever I want.¡±


    Shen Tingwei looked at him deeply, his eyes lost their warmth and turned cold like before. He used his hands to slowly touch his face, ¡°Mingming¡­You can only marry me.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou wasn¡¯t afraid of the reappearance of his lover¡¯s old illness at all. He rolled his eyes, wanting to continue to provoke him a bit more, but suddenly felt a pain on the back of his neck and fainted.


    His neck was a bit sore and his body was warm. He awoke in a daze and was startled greatly by the naked man in front of him.


    ¡°Woke up?¡± Shen Tingwei lowered his head, kissed his eyes, and then continued stripping him.


    <span>The bed beneath him was very soft. His outer robe had disappeared and his inner robe was about to disappear. Moving his legs, he found that he could directly feel the sheets with his skin. Immediately, he became angry and started grinding his teeth, ¡°Young General Shen, are you going to force me?¡±


    ¡°You''re originally my wife," Shen Tingwei untied his inner clothes, leaned over and pressed him down while looking at him deeply, ¡°Mingming, you can only be mine. You can only marry me.¡±


    His body felt soft and powerless, it was obvious that he was given a drug. He became angrier and he furiously said, ¡°Are you going to use force? Do you want to rape me?


    ¡°No, I¡¯ll wait until you¡¯re willing,¡± Shen Tingwei was stillying on him, but it was only that, ¡°Now, you can only marry me.¡±


    What is this? Is this the ¡®whoever sees your naked body has to marry you¡¯ kind of feudal logic? Ye Zhizhou could only powerlessly ridicule it, wildly shouting for the system in his heart while angrily saying, ¡°Wait until I am willing? That¡¯s not what your body''s saying!¡±


    Shen Tingwei''s breathing suspiciously stopped, ¡°I really want you.¡±


    The skin-to-skin contact felt veryfortable but at the same time also torturous, not to mention the hot thing poking his thigh! Ye Zhizhou took advantage of when Shen Tingwei lowered his head with closed eyes to kiss him and swallowed a pill from the small mirror. He tried to move his finger and found there was some strength. Immediately, he sent out his spiritual power and wrapped it around Shen Tingwei. Then, in the split second that Shen Tingwei was unable to move, he flipped them over, hugged him, pushed him down and stuffed a pill into his mouth. He sneered, ¡°Want me? First, cure your brain!¡± Teasing him and not doing it again, simply inhumane!


    The pill instantly melted when it entered Shen Tingwei¡¯s mouth, he couldn¡¯t move his body at all. His body rxed quickly after a tense moment and his eyes fell on Ye Zhizhou¡¯s lower body. His expression was honest but his eyes were filled with wicked emotions, ¡°Mingming, you had a reaction.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was angry! He was a man with his lover stripped naked and pressed down under him. If he didn¡¯t have a reaction, that would be scary! He gave a strong flick to his lover¡¯s forehead, pulled the pillow cover over his sneaky eyes and hatefully said, ¡°I''ll go and have a reaction to other men right now! You can just lie here by yourself!¡±


    A little y fighting is fine but raising a wall is absolutely out of the question! Shen Tingwei¡¯s face became dark and his body became tense again. He tried to move his weak body without sess. His tone became dangerous, ¡°Mingming, you should behave.¡±


    You behave, you show-off!


    Ye Zhizhou was going to make a few more sarcastic remarks when his eyes inadvertently swept to the other¡¯s waist and he saw the fierce wound there. He frowned and swallowed down the sarcastic remarks, patting Shen Tingwei on the chest in a bad mood, ¡°Rx a bit, the wound will burst open! What¡¯s the matter with you? It''s been almost a year, why does your wound still look so new?"


    Shen Tingwei didn¡¯t speak but used his actions to show his indifference about his wound.


    This stupid idiot!


    He took out a top-quality Jin Chuang ointment from his space and poured it out, rubbed it between his hands and then smeared it onto Shen Tingwei¡¯s wound. He patted Shen Tingwei¡¯s thighs as he did this, saying, ¡°Rx for me, I¡¯m giving you medicine!¡±


    His body was touched and patted by his wife. Shen Tingwei let out a low groan, a thinyer of sweat streaked from his forehead and his Adam''s apple bobbed up and down. The already lively ce down there became even more lively.


    Ye Zhizhou, who just finished smearing the medicine, was stimted by this image full of male sex appeal. Blushing, he pulled a nket over Shen Tingwei and got dressed messily, restraining his impulses to rush to the bed to jump him. He looked away and said, ¡°Your wound should be fine after you wake up. I¡¯ll leave first. Goodbye!¡± After saying this, he immediately turned and left.


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s eyes were covered, he couldn¡¯t move his body and could only listen to the sound of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s footsteps as he walked away. A dark light shed through his covered eyes. This little wife that he fancied seemed a little too vivacious.


    Using his spiritual power as a scanner, Ye Zhizhou smoothly slipped out of the Shen Mansion. The Ruanjin pill he had given Shen Tingwei onlysted two hours. After he left the mansion, he immediately went out to buy a brush, paper, and inkstone, then squatted on the roadside and wrote a letter. He found his way to Yang Dexuan¡¯s residence and snuck in through the side door. He threw the letter into Yang Dexuan¡¯s study. After doing all of this, he rushed out of the city and found Yang Qi, who was still a beggar, in a broken temple outside the city.


    When he found Yang Qi at this time, the old beggar who took care of him hadn''t died yet. Ye Zhizhou used a Yirong pill and prepared some meals for them. He stuffed a nourishing body pill into the steamed bun for the old beggar and then left. The dirty Yang Qi who ran out to thank him was fooled by a name he randomly replied with.


    That night, Yang Dexuan arrived at the broken temple with a team of bodyguards and took away the old beggar and Yang Qi.


    [The probability of Yang Qi and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Ye Zhizhou climbed up from behind the dirt slope where he was hiding and wiped his face, ¡°It went down a lot. I didn¡¯t waste my time tossing about¡­."


    "When did you toss about?"


    An arm tightened around his waist, his body was lifted into the air and then his back fell into a warm body. His acupoints were tapped a few times and he couldn¡¯t move again.


    "Shen Tingwei!"


    ¡°Be good,¡± Shen Tingwei carried him back to the carriage and stretched out a hand to unfasten his clothes.


    Ye Zhizhou felt desperate, Shen Tingwei was like a ghost that lingers after death! ¡°What do you want to do this time? How did you find me!¡± He had nned to go meet Kang Run after finishing up with Yang Qi!


    Shen Tingwei refused to answer and simply stripped of his clothes, holding him tightly in his arms while saying with a straight face, ¡°This way, you can¡¯t run away. The weather¡¯s hot right now, it¡¯s the perfect time to not wear clothes.¡±


    ¡°You dirty bas-mhm!¡±


    Their breaths intertwined, their lips and tongues touched and his bare, exposed skin was ambiguously caressed by the other man. His body trembled sensitively and he responded very quickly.


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s breathing became heavy, and he pulled Ye Zhizhou closer, stroking and kissing him more vigorously.


    This bastard¡­ As his body temperature rose, hepromised and closed eyes, letting his body soften into Shen Tingwei''s arms. He vented and ran away already since the other wants to¡­let''s just do it.


    The next day, Ye Zhizhou naturally got upte. He rolled over and found that he did not feel any difort, but he feltzy and did not want to move. A ger¡¯s body¡­ Feels pretty good.


    The smell of vegetable porridge wafted in the air, and he could hear the faint noise of Shen Tingwei¡¯s deliberately lowered voice. He rolled over again and the rxed expression on his face turned emotionless as he thought for a moment. He raised his hand and poked at the little mirror under the pillow, ¡°Tongtian, the Juesi pill, give it to me." In the end, this was only a temporary task world. If he left behind any descendants, he''s afraid that he would fall apart when he had to leave.


    The small mirror shook and sent the pill out with a ray of light. He reached out to catch it with his hand, closed his eyes and swallowed the pill.


    The room door was gently pushed open, footsteps sounded, and then the bed sank and his forehead was gently touched. Ye Zhizhou turned around to hugged his lover¡¯s waist, buried his face in it and gently nuzzled him, ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± My willfulness deprived you of your ability to be a father in this world.


    The smile on Shen Tingwei¡¯s face disappeared. With a serious expression, he pulled Ye Zhizhou up to a sitting position and carefully looked him over. He frowned and asked, ¡°Why did you suddenly tell me sorry? Do you want to run again? Or do you want to marry someone else?" When he asked thest question, his tone was already gloomy.


    ¡­ He really can''t express his feelings to this bastard! Ye Zhizhou pounded him hard, rolled up the sleeves of his robe and stretched out his arms to show him, ¡°Look here! I¡¯m totally infertile now!¡±


    The originally red dot that represented his fertility had turned pitch ck. Against his white skin, it looked like an ugly scar.


    ¡°What happened?¡± Shen Tingwei grabbed his arm and rubbed his finger on the mark. He wrinkled his brows tightly, a trace of tension and worry on his face, and pulled Ye Zhizhou¡¯s wrist to check his pulse while asking, ¡°Did I hurt you yesterday? Or could it be that there are other poisons in your body?"


    ¡°No,¡± He retracted his wrist, and his tone became somewhat dull, ¡°It¡¯s just that I can¡¯t have a child anymore¡­ Do you really want to have a child? I¡­¡± The more he spoke, the more the guilt in his heart grew and his voice gradually became weaker. Damn, why can men have children in this world? What if his lover really wanted a child?


    The result of his pulse was very normal and Shen Tingwei finally let out a relieved sigh. It was only after this that he realized Ye Zhizhou¡¯s mood wasn¡¯t right. He nced across his arm and he took Ye Zhizhou into his embrace, patting himfortably. After thinking about it, he said earnestly, ¡°It¡¯s better to not have children.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou raised his head to look up at him suspiciously, ¡°Are you trying to trick me?¡± What man that grew up in a feudal society would think that not having children was better?


    ¡°If you had a child, you will give him more attention. You¡¯ll sleep with him, feed him, apany him to read¡­¡± They were originally supposed to beforting words but the more Shen Tingwei said, the more he thought it would really be like that. His expression became more serious, his eyes became colder, and the hands holding onto Ye Zhizhou unconsciously tightened. The spiritual power that had been quiet this entire time suddenly emerged with murderous intent as he said, ¡°And then you would give me the cold shoulder and ignore me¡­Mingming, I forbid you to have children!¡±


    Sure enough, his lover''s brain is never normal! He raised his hand and pped his head, ring at him, ¡°Calm down!¡±


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s answer was to lift his hand and untie his clothes.


    ¡°What are you trying to do in broad daylight!¡±


    Shen Tingwei stripped off Ye Zhizhou¡¯s inner clothes, revealing the skin underneath that still had ambiguous marks from their previous activities. Raising his hand, Shen Tingwei pulled off his own clothes andid on top of him. His tone was sinister as he said, ¡°Your fertility only disappeared after we did it. Just in case, let¡¯s do it a few more times!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou powerlessly roasted him, but his body began to heat up from the forey. He couldn¡¯t stop himself from extending his leg to kick him, "You beast!¡±


    Shen Tingwei grabbed his leg and rubbed it. He bent down, kissed it and said vaguely, ¡°I''m only a beast to you.¡±


    One side was being lovey-dovey and living happily but Zou Lan in the countryside was having a hard time.


    His servants were fired, his three daily meals had be coarse and at his courtyard gate were a few strange momos that kept him from leaving. In just three short days, his life changedpletely.


    ¡°How dare you evil servants do this to me! I''ll tell my mother about this and have you punished!¡±


    One of the momos guarding the courtyard door sneered, her eyes holding a bit of disdain, ¡°He actually thinks he''s the beloved di son. Bah, a concubine''s son dared to pretend to be our madam''s child. No shame!¡±


    The mansion¡¯s head momo coincidentally came over and red at her when she heard this. She shouted, ¡°Stop gossiping and concentrate on your job!¡±


    The momo who was guarding the gate quieted down and dared not talk anymore.


    The head momo nodded with satisfaction. Holding a message, she pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.


    When Zou Lan heard the door open, he directly threw a teacup and said angrily, ¡°Get out! Daring to humiliate me. When I return to the capital, I will definitely¡­¡±


    ¡°Second Young Master,¡± The head momo frowned and avoided the thrown teacup. She put the message on the table and said softly, ¡°This is the husband that madam chose for you. Please look, the marriage is scheduled for half a monthter. Please calm down during this time."


    Zou Lan¡¯splexion changed greatly, ¡°What did you call me?!¡±


    ¡°Second Young Master,¡± The momo patted her sleeve that had been sshed with tea and revealed a fake smile, ¡°Oh another thing, Concubine Tao, your birth mother, caught a sickness yesterday and unexpectedly died. Madam was kind enough to spare you the trouble of returning to the capital to pay your respects. You just need to rx and wait to get married."


    ¡°Impossible!¡± Zou Lan screamed, ¡°Mother, her body was always healthy. How could she catch a deadly sickness¡­ No! That''s wrong I am the Third Young Master! I am Zou Ming! Don¡¯t call me Second Young Master, I don''t allow it!¡± The harsh treatment these days was finally exined, and he couldn''t help screaming and throwing everything on the table to the ground.


    The head momo moved sideways to avoid the fragments of porcin on the ground and frowned in dislike, ¡°The Third Young Master is now living well in the Shen mansion. Young General Shen is preparing to give the Third Young Master a title. Now, all the marriageable young girls and gers in the capital envy their love. One was determined to marry when the other side was seriously injured and dying, and one swears to only marry the other side only after their injury is healed¡­ As for you, a shu son is a shu son. Even if you take the identity of others temporarily, you will not have that happy life. In the end, taking other people¡¯s things still won''t change your life."


    It was as if Zou Lan was struck by lightning, his eyes were full of incredulity, ¡°What did you say? That the slut is living well in the Shen mansion? The Shen family also wants to give him a title? No! Doesn''t the Shen family hate him very much? Isn¡¯t Shen Tingwei dying soon?"


    The momo pped him hard the moment she heard his words and shouted, ¡°Take care of what you say! Is the Third Young Master someone you can insult like that? Young General Shen''s health has already been well for a while and he has already begun to go to court after his period of absence. Stop saying such irresponsible things!"


    ¡°How could this be¡­¡± Zou Lan waspletely muddled. He buried his face into his hands and copsed onto the chair. Suddenly he screamed again, ¡°No! I am Zou Ming. It should be me who married into the Shen mansion, and it should be me who gets the title. It should be me. These things are all mine!¡±


    ¡°Lunatic!¡± The momo looked at him with disgust. She shook her head and flicked her sleeve before walking away.


    The door was once again closed and locked. Zou Lan screamed a few times and then fell on the table. The face of mania gradually disappeared and he tightly grabbed the message on the table with a heavy expression and a terrible look in his eyes, ¡°Zou Ming, Yuan Hui, just you wait! I, Zou Lan, won''t admit defeat so easily!¡± <hr>

 Chapter 77

    Shen Tingwei publically asked for Ye Zhizhou to be granted a title. When the imperial edict arrived, Old Madam Shen almost fainted.


    ¡°It¡¯s witchcraft! It must be witchcraft! Tingwei is so obsessed with that monster that he doesn¡¯t care about his family anymore,¡± Old Madam Shen wasying half askew on the couch, looking as if she had lost half her life in anger, ¡°Clearly he was a shu son but he insists on saying that he is a di son. Also, that face of his changed so much. If that isn¡¯t witchcraft then what could it be? What kind of poison could make a face change like that!¡±


    Shen Youpeng sat below her, drinking his tea silently and motionlessly as if he hadn¡¯t heard anything.


    ¡°That monster must not be allowed to continue!¡± Old Madam Shen suddenly sat up brimming with energy and made a waving gesture in the air with her hand that had a gemstone ring, as if she were driving something dirty away, ¡°I¡¯ll go to Baiyun Monastery immediately and invite some senior monks toe here and deal with him! I¡¯ll expose that monster¡¯s true identity!¡±


    ¡°Mother,¡± Shen Youpeng put down his teacup with eyes as tranquil as stagnant water and an indifferent tone, ¡°I have already reported to the emperor. In three days, I will depart for the border and will not be at home for the rest of the year. Mingming is a sensible child, you should try to talk to him. I have invited the Chunxiu Garden troupe toe and sing for you regrly. You¡¯re already old, it¡¯s best to avoid tiring yourself. If you want to eat or entertain yourself in the future, just tell Mingming and he will arrange it for you. You don¡¯t have to go out and do it yourself."


    ¡°What do you mean!¡± Old Madam Shen¡¯s face trembled, ¡°Are you trying to shut me inside the manor?"


    ¡°This son didn¡¯t have that intention,¡± Shen Youpeng straightened his sleeves and stood up. Finally, his gaze fell onto her face and his tone changed slightly, ¡°Mother, I only wish that my son can live happily and freely in his lifetime. I can bear the burden of protecting the border alone.¡±


    He turned around and walked away the moment he finished speaking, leaving behind Old Madam Shen who was frozen in ce. This was the first time she saw resentment in her son¡¯s eyes since forcing her daughter-inw to death. She opened her mouth to speak but suddenly a few cloudy tears fell from her eyes and she wondered whether they were for herself, or for her prematurely grey-haired son.


    Shen Youpeng hurried back to visit his son, who was in good health. He stayed for less than 2 weeks before an imperial edict requested that he returned to the border. Before his departure, he had a secret conversation with the emperor. Soon after, Shen Tingwei was promoted again and reced his father as the first military official.


    ¡°In the end, what did father say to the emperor?" Ye Zhizhou touched the imperial edict, feeling a bit worried in his heart, ¡°You have so much power in your hands, could it be¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Shen Tingwei brought him into his embrace and picked up the ounts book on the desk to look over it, ¡°My father just told the emperor about the end of the Shen family line and it settled the emperor¡¯s heart. Rest assured, with me, you can do anything you want without worries. I can still give you a lifetime of peace and stability.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou nced at him, ¡°I can do whatever I want?¡±


    From Shen Tingwei¡¯s angle, he could only see the curling eyshes when he nced over. Those trembling eyshes made his heart feel adventurous and uncontroble. He couldn¡¯t stop himself from lowering his head to kiss his lover¡¯s eyes while thinking some dirty things. He nodded honestly and tightened his arms around Ye Zhizhou, ¡°En, just say your requests, I¡¯ll do it all.¡±


    ¡°Ok, then,¡± Ye Zhizhou turned to look up at him and stretched out his hand, ¡°Hand over your secret stash of money.¡±


    Laughter shone in Shen Tingwei¡¯s eyes and he took out a si box from the table and set it in Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hands, ¡°There¡¯s a secret box in the headboard of the bed which contains silver andnd deeds. This is my personal seal. You can go to the warehouse and take whatever you want. In the future, the family property will also be under your control.¡±


    ¡°Just this much?¡± He tossed the seal and continued to hold out his hand, ¡°There must be something else, hand it over.¡± In the original plot, this man was the type of person that even Fei Jinchu, the son of a gold merchant, couldn¡¯t fight against. It¡¯s impossible that he only has such a small amount of money!


    Shen Tingwei put down the ounts book and pinched his waist jokingly, ¡°You¡¯re clever¡­ There is something else, but I¡¯ve used that share to cover disabled soldiers. I have an expense ledger. Do you want to see it, little housekeeper?¡±


    The pinch felt ticklish but he quickly got up to hide it, ¡°No no, I won¡¯t look. If you want to support them, go ahead. Later on, when you can¡¯t afford to, I¡¯ll make money and help you! Well, keep busy. I¡¯ll go out and look around.¡±


    Shen Tingwei rushed to drag him back, ¡°You''re going to make money?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± It¡¯s not only to make money, but also to pull Fei Jinchu together to make money. It would be best if he could make money and pull Fei Jinchu into the pit with one stroke!


    <span>¡°Is the amount of money not enough?¡± He frowned deeply and fell into a sense of crisis that he couldn¡¯t afford to support his wife, ¡°Don¡¯t go. I¡¯ll find a way. How much money do you want?¡±


    <span>Ye Zhizhouughed as he poked him between his eyebrows and exined, ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t have enough money to spend. It¡¯s that I¡¯m bored and trying to find something fun to do. You usually have to train soldiers, go to court and deal with government affairs. What about me? I can¡¯t just sit around all day."


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s furrowed brow rxed but then he began to worry about Ye Zhizhou''s safety. He was worried that Ye Zhizhou would be unhappy when he failed to make money. After thinking about it, he said, ¡°I¡¯ll introduce you to some trustworthy shopkeepers in the family. You can practice with them first. It doesn¡¯t matter if you lose money, you have me.¡±


    How can his lover be this cute! Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t help holding Shen Tingwei¡¯s face and giving him a loud smacking kiss. He ran outughing and waved while shouting, ¡°Don¡¯t worry! You won¡¯t lose any money! Just wait for me to earn money ande back to support you!¡±


    Shen Tingwei helplessly watched him run away and waved his hands to signal to some guards to follow him. He went back to reading the ounts book again, but after reading a few lines he couldn''t resist putting it down to raise his hand and touch his face, smiling gently.


    The process of approaching Fei Jinchu was extremely smooth. Ye Zhizhou only sent him an invitation using the Shen Family''s name and he immediately epted it. He even brought along aplete set of coboration projects. His efficiency was astonishing.


    Ye Zhizhou swept through the projects once, smiled and nodded, ¡°Boss Fei is very considerate and thorough. I have nothing else to add, let¡¯s do it like this.¡± In order to not affect this world¡¯s development process, the business he put forward was not that strange. Besides the novelty, the only bright spot is that he has Shen Tingwei¡¯s support. Unexpectedly, Fei Jinchu was an understanding man. Ye Zhizhou only put forward the motion but Fei Jinchu took the initiative to do everything else.


    ¡°Madam General is very kind,¡± Fei Jinchu cupped his hands in obeisance. His refined and schrly appearance didn¡¯t look like a businessman but a schr instead, ¡°The viewpoint that Madam proposed is very novel. The Fei family will certainly profit from it. I hope that Madam will take care of me in the future.¡±


    ¡°Taking care of you is out of the question. It was only a mutual coboration,¡± Ye Zhizhouughed and got up to say goodbye, ¡°I¡¯ll have to trouble Boss Fei to handle the rest of the work.¡±


    ¡°Madam is being polite,¡± Fei Jinchu also respectfully got up and walked him out of the restaurant.


    After leaving the restaurant, Ye Zhizhou detoured into a teahouse and met a storyteller. After using his spiritual power to have a good talk with the other, he went home in a good mood.


    Three dayster, Zou Lan married the son of a wealthy merchant in the countryside. That night, the screen popup from the system happened in a very jarring situation. [The probability of Fei Jinchu, Kang Run, Zhan Xuemi and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou gasped for breath and was very surprised. It actually fell this much? Just because the protagonist married someone? At this point, the protagonist should have just finished in the bridal room. From simply that, it went directly down to 50%. Just wait for mister storyteller to show his power, Fei Jinchu¡¯s g may be pulled out soon!


    Shen Tingwei noticed his distraction and his eyes darkened. He lowered his head to bite his earlobe, ¡°Mingming, what are you thinking about?¡±


    The sudden sensation of numbness made him unable to hold back a moan and his mind wandered back. Suddenly, he felt the situation was a bit shameful. He quickly turned off the screen and gave Shen Tingwei a kick, carelessly lying, ¡°I¡¯m hungry. I¡¯m thinking about eating ate-night snack.¡±


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s face became ck. His wife was actually thinking aboutte-night snacks while he was working hard? Stifling back his anger, he changed their positions and put in a greater effort to toss him around.


    Another day of degeneration. Ye Zhizhouid in bed and sighed, ¡°Tongtian, this way of living is too wrong! Is this world some kind of vacation getaway? How could it be so rxed?¡± Compared to thest world where there were frequent threats to his life, this world was so peaceful, simple and not rational.


    [Testing mode difficulty¡­ Testingplete. Mode: Difficult. Does host want to enter Hell Mode ahead of time?]


    He was so startled by what popped up on the screen that he quickly got up from bed, grabbed the mirror next to his pillow and asked, ¡°What is hell mode? This world is actually in difficult mode? Wait, these worlds are actually divided by difficulty?"


    [Host does not have enough authority, unable to receive information.]


    "¡­.."


    [Warning, soul g status is abnormal, there are fluctuations¡­]


    Unexpectedly, a sudden situation actually urred as he was talking about it. He responded a bit slowly, ¡°What¡¯s the situation? There''s a soul g fluctuation?"


    [Testing soul g status¡­ Testing interrupted¡­ Plot changes detected. Asking host to ept the new plot.]


    He watched the text on the screen constantly refresh until it eventually turned into the words ¡®plot changes¡¯ which made him want to copse. Pulling his hair he bemoaned, ¡°How did it change? Just because Imented about how simple it was?¡±


    [Do you ept the new plot?]


    "¡­¡­"


    [The probability of Fei Jinchu, Kang Run, Zhan Xuemi, Yang Qi and the protagonist falling in love has risen to 80%. Asking host to please pay attention, asking host to please pay attention! ]


    It was as if he got struck by lightning! The love probability can actually increase?


    [Do you ept the new plot?]


    ¡°ept ept ept! Stop prompting!¡± He quickly put aside his shock, held the small mirror and opened the new plot data.


    In the new plot data, Zou Lan¡¯s y of exchanging the roon cat for the prince was taken out. Instead, the plot now said that Zou Lan''s body was weak and he got left in the countryside by Old Madam Zou. He and his mother were ''poor white cabbages'' and they were bullied by the first wife, Yuan Hui, and the di son, Zou Ming while being unable to retaliate.


    When Zou Lan was 17 years old, his wicked <span>mother married him to the son of a wealthy merchant who liked to eat,ze and gamble. He believed that his life would be like this forever and did not think it would get any worse. It turned out though that the wealthy merchant had a beloved cousin. Due to jealousy, on the second day of his marriage, the cousin pushed him into the pond and drowned him. The wealthy merchant¡¯s family was shocked and feared the Zou family¡¯s retaliation, so they hid the news and secretly wrapped Zou Lan with a broken mat and threw him into a mass grave. Then Zou Lan, who was only pretending to be dead, was rescued by a passing divine doctor.


    ¡°¡­¡± This world''s divine doctor is so casual. Such a coincidence, passing by the mass grave.


    After being healed by the divine doctor, Zou Lan returned to the wealthy merchant¡¯s mansion. Unexpectedly, he found that the wealthy merchant¡¯s family was ughtered by a gang of bandits on the night he was thrown into the mass grave, and he was registered as dead by the government. Feeling sad and helpless, he decided to go to the capital to find his father.


    On his way back to the capital, he first met Hou Fu¡¯s young master Zhan Xuemi. Then, he rolled in the sheets with him after Zhan Xuemi was given an aphrodisiac. After waking up the next morning, he realized his body was dirty and he had no face to continue living. He rushed into the deep mountains while Zhan Xuemi was still sleeping and prepared to end his life. As a result, he didn¡¯t end his life but instead, he met Kang Run, the assassin who was poisoned with an aphrodisiac. He was then forced to roll in the sheets again with Kang Run.


    Ye Zhizhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Zou Lan, who felt that he was bing dirtier, was suddenly not ready to die. He decided to go to the capital to find his father to confess his impurity, so he ran again while Kang Run was unconscious from curing the poison. Half a monthter, he arrived in the capital and found his father. After telling him about the suffering he went through, he fainted. Zou Qing was so surprised and quickly invited a doctor to check on him and they found out that he was pregnant!


    Zou Qing firmly believed that the child was the son of the wealthy merchant. Thinking of the sad fact that the whole family was ughtered, he could only sigh. He promptly notified the only surviving rtive of the wealthy merchant, the schr Yang Dexuan. When Yang Dexuan heard the news, he rushed over and strongly urged Zou Lan to give birth to the child. He brought him back to the Yang mansion to take care of him, saying that he wanted to take the ce of his rtives in supporting him and the child.


    Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t help looking up and taking a deep breath after reading the plot up to this point, his brain felt like exploding. The protagonist was so powerful, he could still bring together the three male leads even in this kind of situation. He admired him.


    After arriving at the Yang Mansion, Zou Lan knew in his heart that the child couldn¡¯t be the son of the wealthy merchant. Due to his paternal instincts though, he didn¡¯t tell the truth. Later, he met Yang Qi, Yang Dexuan¡¯s recently recognized youngest son. The two read and yed together, and their feelings gradually became closer.


    On a dark and windy night, Zou Lan coincidentally helped Yang Qi when the other had his first sexual reaction and from then on, he became Yang Qi''s dream lover.


    "¡­¡­"


    Although he lived in the Yang mansion, Zou Lan was unwilling to rely too much on them. He epted money from his father and went out to secretly do business and gradually attracted the attention of Fei Jinchu, the son of a gold merchant. After having a couple of drinks, they had a passionate ¡®pregnant husband¡¯ y. Fei Jinchu felt that he had wronged Zou Lan, so from then on, he was dead set on marrying him.


    So far, all four men havee together.


    Ye Zhizhou silently closed the information, having the appearance of not wanting to see the dog blood scene of Zou Lan, Zhan Xuemi and Kang Run arguing over the child¡¯s paternity after they meet again. Sure enough, it''s difficult indeed. The changes in the plot made him feel despair.


    The small mirror suddenly shook, and then a light screen popped up. [The probability of Zhan Xuemi and the protagonist falling in love has risen to 100%. Asking host to please pay attention!]


    He was so shaken that he didn''t dare to dy anymore. Quickly throwing on some clothes, he rushed into Shen Tingwei¡¯s study next door, grabbed his cor and said, ¡°Darling, let¡¯s go on our honeymoon! Not a ce too far away, just Huzhou! Let¡¯s go to the countryside of Huzhou!¡±


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s gaze dropped to his loose cor and he directly threw away the letter in his hand. He carried Ye Zhizhou to his desk and stripped him of his clothes, ¡°I like it.¡±


    "What?"


    ¡°Your half-dressed look.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou ruthlessly bit him in anger, but Shen Tingwei just pantedfortably.


    ¡°¡­¡± His lover in this life was nothing more than a pea-brained pig teammate!<hr>

 Chapter 78

    It takes about a week by carriage or four to five days by horse to travel from the capital to Huzhou. Ye Zhizhou endured the jolting horse ride andid in Shen Tingwei¡¯s arms while calcting the timeline.


    The son of the wealthy merchant and his family should have been ughtered now. At this time, Zhan Xuemi was still in Qianzhou, meeting up with some friends. He meets Zou Lan on his way back to the capital. Right now, it was probably two days since Zou Lan healed from his wounds. Although Zou Lan faked his death, his wounds were not very serious at all, he only needed to rest for about four days before he recovered.


    He couldn¡¯t help turning his head and urging, ¡°Tingwei, go a bit faster. When we get to Luzhou we can stop for a bit."


    Shen Tingwei nced down at him, tightened his cloak again and then sped up.


    They went as fast as they could. Ye Zhizhou was finally a step ahead of Zhan Xuemi and arrived first at the inn where Zhan Xuemi and the protagonist had sex. He chose the room next to Zhan Xuemi and then copsed on the bed and began to put sters on his sore legs. It¡¯s precisely this part of the ancient era that sucked¡ªtransportation was just too far behind. The tenderness of a ger¡¯s skin in this world was also too simr to females'' skin, it¡¯s such a nuisance. He really preferred the rough and thick body of the first few worlds much more.


    Shen Tingwei frowned, sat down next to him and grabbed the ster. He rubbed it on silently with gentle movements but his expression was scary.


    ¡°Angry?¡± Ye Zhizhou poked him, feeling a little guilty. This trip was his shameless request and Shen Tingwei had pushed a lot of official business aside to make it happen. At first, he wanted to go alone, but with his lover¡¯s personality he certainly wouldn¡¯t be allowed to go alone, plus he was anxious at that time¡­ He should¡¯ve just snuck away. Oh well¡­


    ¡°What are you thinking about?¡±


    A chilly voice and a gloomy tone. He was frightened and threw out the idea of sneaking away from his mind. When he saw that the ster had been put on, he quickly put on his clothes and rushed over to hug and kiss his lover. He assured him, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, I''m just in a hurry because I have something I need to do. It''s just this one time, I swear, there won''t be another.¡±


    Finally, Shen Tingwei¡¯s expression improved a bit. He held onto Ye Zhizhou¡¯s waist and asked seriously, ¡°What exactly do you need to do? At first, you anxiously wanted to go to Huzhou, but now we stopped in Luzhou. This matter of yours¡­ Is it rted to Zou Lan?" He remembered that Zou Lan married the son of a wealthy merchant in the countryside of Huzhou


    Ye Zhizhou hesitated for a moment and then nodded. ¡°It really does have something to do with Zou Lan. If there were no idents, my father should have received a letter from Huzhou. Two days after Zou Lan¡¯s wedding, his husband and his entire family were ughtered by a gang of bandits.¡±


    ¡°The entire family was ughtered?¡± Shen Tingwei¡¯s expression was extremely heavy. ¡°Doesn¡¯t his husband¡¯s family live in Huzhou city? What kind of bandits are so savage that they would sneak into the city andmit such crimes! Are the guards of Huzhou city just there for decoration?¡±


    ¡°I also thought it was strange¡­¡± He pondered over the plot during his entire trip here and found many instances that didn¡¯t make sense. Firstly, why did the wealthy merchant family suddenly encounter bandits? Moreover, the bandits didn¡¯t ask for money and only killed people. There was no trace of them and even the government couldn¡¯t find anything. Secondly, there was also that divine doctor who appeared suddenly and disappeared immediately after rescuing Zou Lan, as if he only appeared to save him. Finally, the matter of Zou Lan being registered as deceased by the government. When Zou Lan found out about this, he could¡¯ve gotten rid of the status simply by appearing at the local government. With Zou Qing¡¯s position, Zou Lan didn¡¯t have to make the long and exhausting travel to the capital. As long as he revealed his identity, the local government would¡¯ve surely helped him. He just needed to wait for Zou Qing to send someone to pick him up.


    In short, it¡¯s all very strange. From the original plot and the changed plot, Zou Lan didn¡¯t seem like an idiot, so why would he torture himself like this?


    Shen Tingwei frowned and contemted for a bit before he suddenly released Ye Zhizhou, got up and left the room to find a waiter to get a brush, paper, and inkstone. Then, he quickly wrote a letter and whistled for a guard. He gave him the letter and told him a few instructions before signaling for him to leave.


    ¡°There are guards still following behind us?¡± Ye Zhizhou was astonished. This entire time he had been dispersing his spiritual power and didn''t notice anyone was following them, but that guard just now¡­


    <span>¡°I left marks along the road. A few close guards were always following behind us,¡± Shen Tingwei exined briefly, and called for the waiter again to get some bath water and food. He went to the bedside and stroked his hair, "Mingming, whatever you want to do, just tell me. I''ll help you do it so you don''t have to tire yourself.¡±


    The strokes on his head were very gentle. Ye Zhizhou raised his head to look up at Shen Tingwei, his mood that was a mess because of the rising love probabilities suddenly calmed down. He couldn¡¯t help but lean over and hug Shen Tingwei¡¯s waist. After thinking about it, he said, ¡°I do happen to have a pressing matter at hand. In about four days in the temple behind Hufeng mountain, outside of Luzhou city, there will be a poisoned assassin. You can go and catch him."


    ¡°Assassin?¡± Shen Tingwei sat down next to him but didn¡¯t ask him why he knew this. He naturally put trust in Ye Zhizhou¡¯s words, but thought about them and began to worry for his safety. ¡°How did you get involved with an assassin? Is someone trying to kill you?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s not it. The assassin matter is just something I happened to know. It has nothing to do with me.¡± Ye Zhizhou soothingly took Shen Tingwei¡¯s hand and pinched it, squinting for a moment before asking, ¡°I¡¯m curious¡­ Is there a way for assassins, who have dozens of kills, to live after being caught by the government?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Shen Tingwei answered affirmatively. After a brief pause, he added, ¡°Unless the people that were killed were guilty of terrible crimes. Then, the government has a policy of recruiting these types of special assassins. If their identity isn¡¯t a problem, they can even join the army or some secret governmental organizations, but they will certainly not have freedom.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou went over the list of Kang Run¡¯s targets in his mind and found that this male lead¡¯s three views were crooked, and took tasks entirely based on his preferences. Although most of the people he killed were viinous, a few kills didn¡¯t make any sense.


    Half of this and half of that, how was he supposed to figure it out?


    The sound of the waiter knocking on the door to deliver something interrupted his thoughts. He returned to his senses and shook his head to clear out all the thoughts about the plot from his head. He ate a meal with his lover and then took a harmonious bath with him.


    The guard who went to send the letter during the day came back at midnight. The news he brought back blew away all of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s drowsiness.


    ¡°What did you say? The person suspected of ughtering the wealthy merchant''s family is Zou Lan?"


    ¡°The local officials are just suspicious and are trying hard to suppress this matter.¡± The guard handed over the report written by the local officials and respectfully said, ¡°The main gate did not have any signs of being broken into. There were no traces of the entry or exit of the bandits on the walls, and there was also some residue of Menghun poison in the well. Most of the corpses were burned in the fire and the specifics of death couldn¡¯t be determined, However, judging from the knife marks on the few intact corpses, the killer¡¯s strength was rather weak and there were no signs of struggle from the victims. They must have been killed while they were unconscious from the Menghun poison."


    Shen Tingwei wrapped Ye Zhizhou in a cloak before getting up to take the report. He looked at it for a bit and then continued to ask, ¡°Have you found Zou Lan?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± The guard lowered his head even more and answered, ¡°The Huzhou government is afraid of the Zou family and¡­of the general¡¯s power. They didn''t dare to say anything suspicious about Zou Lan. At the scene, there was a burned corpse wearing Zou Lan''s clothing and jewelry, so they¡­"


    ¡°So they conveniently registered Zou Lan¡¯s death directly and intended to cover this matter up, even if they discovered that the body was strange?¡± Shen Tingwei received his report with a frosty face and then threw the report onto the table. ¡°This is ridiculous! How can a case that involves human lives be settled so carelessly? Just because of their fears of offending the Zou family and Shen family?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou took the report from the table and skimmed over it once. His expression turned extremely grave. He didn¡¯t think that the destruction of the wealthy merchant¡¯s family could¡¯ve been Zou Lan¡¯s doing. If he didn¡¯te here immediately after seeing the plot change, and Shen Tingwei didn¡¯t send anyone to investigate it¡­ Then this case, where the wealthy merchant¡¯s family was exterminated, would¡¯ve probably been regarded as a bandit attack as described in the plot.


    So from the start, he didn''t fake his death, there was no divine doctor coincidentally burying someone at the mass grave and then saving him, nor was there Zou Lan returning to the wealthy merchant¡¯s manor to find his husband¡¯s family ravaged by bandits that led to his sad and helpless trip back to the capital to find his father. It was merely a murder n, a crafty escape n and a ploy to use a pitiful and sorrowful image to return to the Zou manor as the second young master of the Zou family, living a good life. Shen Tingwei¡¯s power and influence unexpectedly became a prop for Zou Lan to get rid of the murder suspicions in Huzhou.


    The hand that was holding the report unconsciously tightened. Ye Zhizhou thought that this new plot was just a story of a slightly ruined protagonist sleeping with the male leads all the way back to the capital. He didn¡¯t expect that after ripping off the beautiful exterior the plot had given the protagonist that he¡¯d find a blood-stained murderer fleeing for his life.


    ¡°That wealthy merchant¡¯s family¡­ how many people died?¡±


    ¡°Including the servants, 73 people. Of those 73 people, there were two babies and five children, none survived.¡±


    73 lives¡­Even the children and babies weren¡¯t spared¡­ His spiritual power raged around him uncontrobly. He set down the report and touched the small mirror tucked in his robe. No wonder it¡¯s difficult mode. The level of maliciousness from this world¡¯s protagonist really deserves the difficulty rating¡­ Damn it!


    Shen Tingwei keenly sensed his emotional instability so he moved towards Ye Zhizhou and pulled him into his embrace. He waved to the guard, "You can go rest. Send someone else to Huzhou. There¡¯s no need to hide their presence, so they must strictly investigate this matter."


    The guard responded affirmatively before backing out of the room. Shen Tingwei gave him a princess carry to bed before covering him up with the quilt. He lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead while coaxing, ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. Sleep. I¡¯ll deal with this.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou reached out to grab his sleeve and frowned, "You''re not sleeping? What are you going to do?"


    Shin Tingwei held his hand and said in a warm voice, ¡°I¡¯m going to organize some nearby troops, they could be usefulter on. There¡¯s someone standing guard outside the door. Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll be back tomorrow morning at thetest."


    He frowned and slowly released his hand as he buried his head into the covers while saying sullenly, ¡°Then you can go. Pay attention to your safety.¡±


    Shen Tingwei stroked his hair and then left after putting on his clothes.


    When there was no one else in the room, he sat up in bed and brought out the little mirror that was under his pillow. He asked with a serious face, ¡°Tongtian, what the hell is ''difficult mode''? I didn''t ask this in any of the previous worlds, but what does the soul g above the protagonist¡¯s head represent?"


    [Host does not have enough authority. Unable to retrieve information.]


    Damn it, he doesn''t have enough authority!


    He angrily dug at the jewels on the small mirror, his heart feeling terrible and depressed. 73 human lives! Right now, he doesn¡¯t even want to pull out the damn soul gs at all. He just wants to catch the protagonist and kill him! But unfortunately, external forces can¡¯t directly kill the protagonist!


    [Asking host to calm down. ]


    How the hell was he supposed to calm down! He stuffed the mirror back under his pillow and tapped his forehead as he began to think about countermeasures for dealing with the protagonist. As the plot changes, the decreasing love probabilities can rise again. There¡¯s no use in just pulling out the soul g in this world. He needs to find a way to solve the problem directly at the source.


    ¡­. He must seize the protagonist and send him to prison. 73 human lives, that''s enough to have him beheaded ten thousand times!


    When he thought of this, he couldn¡¯t sit still. Tomorrow morning, Zhan Xuemi will arrive in Luzhou. The protagonist will then meet him at this inn and during that same night, they have sex. Should he risk it and wait here, or should he go one step ahead and catch the protagonist first?


    ¡°Who are you?¡±


    ¡°This big brother, I''m a guest that has a room next to you. Not a bad person. You¡­your knife¡­¡±


    ¡°Who is the person you''re holding!¡±


    ¡°It-it''s my elder brother. He¡¯s drunk. I''m sending him back to his room.¡±


    ¡°Staying awake and wandering around in the middle of the night, even wrapping up your face so tightly¡­ Where did youe from? Is it Huzhou!"


    ¡°No, no, we came from Qianzhou. Big brother, take a look at this¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ You turned out to be people from the Hou family in Weiyuan. Alright, go in. There''s been a case of a whole family being ughtered in Huzhou. The criminals haven¡¯t been caught yet. Don¡¯t stay outside in the evening. You might get into an ident."


    His surging spiritual power conveyed the conversation outside clearly. Ye Zhizhou was shocked and rushed to the door. Coming from Qianzhou¡­ The Hou family from Weiyuan¡­ How did Zhan Xuemi arrive in Luzhou now?! Moreover, Zhan Xuemi went outside alone and didn¡¯t bring along a younger brother. Who was the man beside him? <hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Jun Shi for yourndmine! Love you so much = 3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: It didn''t be fatter, it actually became shorter¡­ I will continue to work hard this afternoon!</strong>


    So¡­.here¡¯s another plot twist, Zou Lan is probably a mass murderer¡­and I wonder who that man is¡­.

 Chapter 79

    Ye Zhizhou pushed the door open to look next door but only had time to see two doors closing.


    When the door guard saw hime out, he saluted and asked reservedly, ¡°Madam, have I disturbed you?¡±


    ¡°No,¡± Ye Zhizhou said while waving his hand. He frowned as he looked away and thought for a bit before he said, ¡°You, go knock on the neighbor¡¯s door. The general and Weiyuan have always had some friendship. Since you''ve met the young master of the Hou family here, you should greet him."


    The guard hesitated. ¡°Certainly. However, right now it¡¯s veryte and the general isn¡¯t here. There is only madam¡­¡±


    ¡°No. Aren¡¯t several guards here too?¡± Ye Zhizhou retorted. He tidied up his hair and clothes before saying firmly, ¡°Go knock on the door. When the generales back, I¡¯ll exin to him. Moreover, I¡¯m just greeting the Hou family¡¯s young master at the door. I¡¯m not entering the room.¡± The ancient times are so troublesome. A ger¡¯s identity is even more troublesome. Regardless of the other person''s gender, gers have to watch themselves and keep a distance from others, otherwise, there will be problems every minute.


    When the guard saw that Ye Zhizhou insisted, he was forced to hold back his hesitation and moved forward to knock on the door before backing away.


    ¡°Who is it?¡± It was the voice that imed to be Zhan Xuemi¡¯s brother earlier.


    The guard nced at Ye Zhizhou and then announced his family name.


    It was quiet in the room for a while until the silence was broken by the sound of rustling clothes. The lights were lit and a slender man with a veil over his face stuck his head out. ¡°It turned out to be a man of the Shen family. What else does big brother have to say?¡±


    The light in the corridor was too dim so he couldn¡¯t clearly see what the man looked like¡­ but the four gs on his head were so obvious!


    Unexpectedly, it was really Zou Lan! The plot shifted ahead!


    ¡°You said that Zhan Xuemi was your eldest brother?¡± Ye Zhizhou stepped forward and walked into the light that wasing from the room and looked at him deeply. His spiritual power became restless as if it was ready to attack him. ¡°What¡¯s your name? Howe I didn¡¯t know that the Hou family had a third young master!¡±


    Zou Lan finally noticed him. His body tensed and he asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±


    The guard noticed that the atmosphere wasn¡¯t right. He stepped forward to guard Ye Zhizhou and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t be rude! This is the wife of my family¡¯s general. ¡±


    The Shen family guard, the general¡¯s wife¡­ Zou Lan realized the identity of Ye Zhizhou and turned to look at him carefully. He was shocked. ¡°Are you Zou Ming?! What about your face¡­¡± He quickly stopped halfway through his sentence after realizing it would be strange and lowered his head to avoid their gaze while changing the topic stiffly. ¡°It turned out to be Madam Shen. I heard elder brother mention you before. You¡­¡±


    Thud!


    There was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from inside the room, and then a subtle moan sounded.


    The guard¡¯splexion changed and he directly aimed a fist towards Zou Lan¡¯s face at the side of the door. Ye Zhizhou took advantage of Zou Lan¡¯s evasion to pull off the veil covering his face and then shouted, ¡°Someonee! Zou Lan kidnapped the Hou family¡¯s young master! Catch him!¡±


    Several guards stationed around the inn rushed in when they heard themotion.


    Zou Lan evaded the guards'' attack and red at Ye Zhizhou with resentment. Suddenly, he took out a bag of powder from his cuff and scattered it into the air. Then, he took out something that looked simr to a small crossbow and arrows and shot at Ye Zhizhou several times.


    ¡°Madam, be careful!¡± The guard, whose hand was just about to grasp Zou Lan''s shoulder, saw this and immediately turned around to cover Ye Zhizhou. Zou Lan took the opportunity to turn and run downstairs.


    Ye Zhizhou, who took a sword out of his space, was ready to deflect the concealed weapons. Instead, he helplessly watched as the guard used his body to block the concealed weapons before falling to the ground with a low groan. He tightened his fist angrily and his spiritual power swept uncontrobly towards Zou Lan.


    [Warning, warning! External forces causing damage to the protagonist will cause this small world to copse. Asking host to calm and focus on the mission! Asking host to calm and focus on the mission!]


    Damn it!


    He suppressed his spiritual power and crouched down to feed the guard a pill. Then, he shouted to the wakened tenants who had peered out their doors to see what was going on. ¡°Hold your breath! Go back into your room and wash your face with cold water! There is Menghan poison in the corridor. Don¡¯te out!¡±


    The on-looking tenants were frightened and quickly shrank back into their rooms one after another.


    <span>He took out a powdered version of the Qingxin pill and dispersed it into the air. When he saw the guards that wereing up the stairs, which just happened to block Zou Lan from going down, he quickly warned them, ¡°He has a concealed weapon in his hand! Cover your mouth and nose, watch out for his Menghan poison!¡±


    The guards promptly adjusted ordingly and the men with bows and arrows stepped back a bit before drawing their bows to aim at Zou Lan.


    Seeing their reaction Zou Lan stopped immediately, and the hand holding the small crossbow tightened. Suddenly, he turned sideways to shout at Ye Zhizhou, ¡°Zou Ming! You¡¯re truly like a lingering ghost! I¡¯ll die with you today!¡± As he said that, he took out something that looked like a bag of explosives from his robe. It looked like he was about to ignite them with a ming piece of paper.


    The guards were startled, and the men with drawn bows quickly shot their arrows toward Zou Lan¡¯s hand. The rest of them rushed to Ye Zhizhou as if trying to block the explosion with their bodies.


    Ye Zhizhou, who had the system¡¯s scanning function checking on the guard¡¯s injury, raised his head when he heard Zou Lan and was shocked when he saw the system prompt. ¡°Don¡¯t shoot his hand! Hold your breath and catch him! He¡¯s not holding explosives, it¡¯s Menghan poison!¡±


    The arrows had already been fired and the so-called explosives were flung into the air. Zou Lan wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but he didn¡¯t expect the guards to quickly jump and block his way again at Ye Zhizhou¡¯s words. He had run out of all the things he had on him that he could use, there was nothing he could do except wait to be captured.


    ¡°Zou Ming, I¡¯m your brother! You actually dare to treat me like this! I will go back to the capital and tell father what you¡¯ve done!¡±


    The concealed weapons embedded within the guard¡¯s body were all slender, tiny needles, which were very hard to get out. Ye Zhizhou was already so upset so when he heard those words, he directly blew up, ¡°Shut up! Just wait for the guillotine, you murderer! Block his mouth for me, tie him up and send him directly to the government official tomorrow!¡±


    The guard did as he was ordered and Zou Lan began to struggle harder. ¡°Zou Ming, you dare! I¡¯m not a murderer. I, ¡­ Let go¡­ wuwu!¡±


    There were still remnants of Menghan poison in the air and the guards all inhaled some of it. They forced themselves to stay awake as they tied Zou Lan up and blocked his mouth with some inevitable clumsiness in their movements. When Ye Zhizhou saw their clumsiness, his anger clouded brain quickly calmed down and he stepped forward to give each guard a Qingxin pill.


    Afterwards, there was a rush to clean up and take care of the wounded. Zou Lan was thrown into Zhan Xuemi¡¯s room by the guards under Ye Zhizhou¡¯s instructions.


    After confirming that the wounded guards were alright, Ye Zhizhou went upstairs. He leisurely ignored Zou Lan, who was ring viciously, as he walked forward and scanned the rolling Zhan Xuemi on the floor with the system before feeding him an antidote.


    A few minutester, Zhan Xuemi who had been crazily rolling around on the ground slowly woke up. He looked at Ye Zhizhou who was crouched in front of him at a loss, then looked at his disheveled clothes with confusion before eximing, ¡°Wh-who are you? What do you want to do to me? Although you¡¯re beautiful¡­b-but I have principles. Whatever you do to me, I still won¡¯t¡­ Forget it. I¡¯ll marry you. What¡¯s your name? Where are you from?¡±


    This guy¡­.


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes gracelessly and stepped back. He used his finger and pointed to Zou Lan in the corner, who was tied up like a <span>zongziand coldly said, ¡°The one who wanted to do something to you was him. Is he beautiful? Would you marry him?¡±


    Zhan Xuemi sat up when he heard this and inspected Zou Lan from top to bottom very seriously. After thinking about it, he said, ¡°Although he¡¯s not as good looking as you, if I really bullied him, then¡­ Marry. I will marry him as long as he can let me continue to y around when we''re married.¡±


    When Zou Lan heard his words, he loudly made a few ¡®wuwu¡¯ sounds and shook his head, causing some of his messy hair to move from his face. He revealed his face as if trying to remind Zhan Xuemi of something.


    ¡°Ah!¡± Zhan Xuemi¡¯s eyes widened and he got up to say in astonishment, ¡°Beauty, did you make a mistake? This man is the poor man I saved while drinking. He was being bullied by an evil tyrant at the time, what a tragedy! He¡¯s a good person. Why did you tie him up?¡±


    Zou Lan nodded his head vigorously and moved towards him. His gaze was sad and pitiful.


    Did this male lead feed his IQ to a dog?! Ye Zhizhou¡¯s spiritual power began to stir uncontrobly again. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He looked at Zhan Xuemi, who had a silly look on his face, and pointed at Zou Lan, ¡°You¡¯re saying he¡¯s a good person?¡±


    Zhan Xuemi nodded his head.


    "He''s my brother."


    Zhan Xuemi looked at him incredulously. ¡°You actually tied your brother up?! You¡¯re such a bad person!¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s also a murderer.¡±


    Zhan Xuemi''s mouth fell open.


    He threw the report that the guard gave to him earlier into Zhan Xuemi¡¯s arms and then sat down at the table. He poured out a cup of tea and scanned it with the system, his mouth twisted and he sneered.


    Two minutester, Zhan Xuemi finished reading the report and he shifted his incredulous eyes to Zou Lan. ¡°Y-you actually killed so many people! That was your husband. Why did you kill him and his family?¡±


    [The probability of Zhan Xuemi and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%. May the host persist in his efforts.]


    Zou Lan shook his head frantically, crying out ¡®wuwu¡¯ as if he wanted to exin but countless tears fell from his eyes. When Zhan Xuemi saw how pitiful he looked he became uncertain again, ¡°Beauty, are you sure this isn¡¯t a misunderstanding? He¡¯s so weak and so pitiful and doesn¡¯t look like a murderer, ah¡­¡±


    [The probability of Zhan Xuemi and the protagonist falling in love has risen to 40%. Asking host to please pay attention! Asking host to please pay attention!]


    Ye Zhizhouughed at this male lead in his heart and handed the teacup over while smiling and asked, ¡°Are you thirsty?¡±


    Zhan Xuemi, who had been under an aphrodisiac earlier, sweated a lot when he rolled around on the ground for a while. He realized he was thirsty once Ye Zhizhou mentioned it andughed foolishly as he took the teacup and thanked Ye Zhizhou. Then, he tilted his head back and drank the tea in one go, eximing, ¡°Refreshing!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou nced at Zou Lan, who suddenly quieted down. He calmly crossed his legs. ¡°Wait another two minutes, you¡¯ll feel even more refreshed.¡±


    One minuteter, Zhan Xuemi began to feel hot. Two minutester, he began to roll on the ground again. Ye Zhizhou crouched down and fed him half of a Qingxin pill, which kept him lucid but didn¡¯t resolve the effects of the poison. ¡°This was the tea prepared for you by the man you described as pitiful. It was poisoned with an aphrodisiac. How is it? Does it taste refreshing?¡±


    Zhan Xuemi shook his head crazily and tugged at his cor forcefully. ¡°Beauty, I was wrong. Pitiful people also have hateful points! It¡¯s because I can''t judge people clearly. Beauty, please give me the antidote. I feel very bad."


    [The probability of Zhan Xuemi and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 20%. May the host persist in his efforts.]


    Unexpectedly, it didn¡¯t cleanly drop to zero? He sneered and scanned Zou Lan with the system. Then, he pulled Zhan Xuemi up and threw him in front of Zou Lan. He pulled open Zou Lan¡¯s sleeve and said, ¡°Do you see this bag in his sleeve? It¡¯s full of Menghan poison. Also, his belt is full of the aphrodisiac you¡¯re under.¡± After saying this he let go of Zou Lan¡¯s belt and regardless of his struggle, undid Zou Lan¡¯s hair, twisting open his hair ornaments to reveal the silver needles inside. He pulled it out for Zhan Xuemi to see. ¡°On these needles are poison. Just a little bit and there¡¯s no doubt that you¡¯ll die. Do you want to test it?¡±


    Zhan Xuemi was already stunned into foolishness the moment Ye Zhizhou pulled back Zou Lan¡¯s sleeve. He rapidly shook his head and quickly backed away. ¡°I don¡¯t! I don¡¯t! This man is terrible! He actually hid this much poison on his body. You can know a person¡¯s face but not their heart. I¡­ I dare not trust people randomly anymore.¡±


    [The probability of Zhan Xuemi and the protagonist falling in love has been reduced to 0%. The first soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, please continue to work hard.]


    Ye Zhizhou sneered in his heart. Sure enough, this kind of soft-hearted and gullible man just needed to be scared a bit. The quality of male leads in these mission worlds is getting worse and worse. Putting the hairpin away, he got up and tossed Zhan Xuemi a Qingxin pill and said, ¡°Having a brain is a good thing. I hope you don¡¯t abandon it easily. Fix your clothes and book another room to stay in.¡±


    Zhan Xuemi quickly swallowed the pill but didn¡¯t leave obediently. On the contrary, Zhan Xuemi looked at him with hesitation and said, ¡°The book says that a small kindness should be repaid tenfold. I don''t think you''re a person that needs money. Beauty, how about¡­I devote myself to you?"


    Zou Lan, who had been ring at Ye Zhizhou angrily, suddenly stopped struggling. He gave a vague sneer with his gagged mouth, full of mockery.


    Zhan Xuemi angrily questioned him, "What''s that sneer for, you murderer!"


    Zou Lan turned his head and didn¡¯t look at him.


    Ye Zhizhou was angered to the point ofughing. If it wasn¡¯t for the task not allowing it, these two people would be an appropriate couple. He signaled for a guard that was waiting outside to bring Zhan Xuemi out. He moved a stool over and sat down three steps away from Zou Lan. He looked down at Zou Lan and said, ¡°Hate it?¡±


    Zou Lan raised his head to look at him with sinister eyes.


    He bent down and removed Zou Lan¡¯s gag from his mouth, suppressing his restless spiritual power and whispered, ¡°There¡¯s no use in hating. Things that aren¡¯t yours will never be yours. You intentionally approached Zhan Xuemi didn¡¯t you? With his deficient IQ, he¡¯s really easy to fool¡­ Who¡¯s helping you find this information? Who gave you those poisons?"


    ¡°Pei!¡± Zou Lan spat at him and said with hatred, ¡°Don¡¯t be so proud of yourself. One day, I will crush you into the dirt! My hatred for you killing my mother will never be resolved! I can¡¯t wait to see your retribution!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou turned to avoid Zou Lan¡¯s spit and straightened his clothes whileughing grimly, ¡°Before I came here, I didn¡¯t expect it was you that ughtered the wealthy merchant and his family; an hour ago, I didn¡¯t expect you would get close to Zhan Xuemi so fast; 30 minutes ago, I didn¡¯t expect that you had a backer. Now, Zou Lan, the person behind you must be Old Madam Zou.¡±


    Zou Lan¡¯s expression transformed and he turned his head away. ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about!¡±


    ¡°Tao Dong isn¡¯t a niece from her maiden family, but Old Madam Zou¡¯s daughter. As for father¡­heh. He¡¯s not Old Madam Zou¡¯s son at all, is he? Oh, let me think about it for a bit. Changing the prince for a roon kind of y, you guys have done this kind of thing before, haven¡¯t you?¡±


    Zou Lan resolutely bit his lips and hung his head, unwilling to look at him.


    When Ye Zhizhou saw his reaction, he immediately understood everything. After confirming that Zou Lan was the person that helped Zhan Xuemi into his room, he suddenly thought of the most suspicious incident in the new plot¡ªZhan Xuemi¡¯s meeting with the protagonist was too coincidental. It¡¯s so much of a coincidence that it didn''t seem like one anymore.


    Zhan Xuemi, the second son of the Hou family, was a foolish person with plenty of money. He loved to y and was easy to fool. He didn¡¯t need to be like the crown prince and shoulder many kinds of responsibilities. It was as if he was born just to enjoy a happy life. This kind of husband candidate, for those who wanted to take shortcuts, was the best choice for nning a conspiracy. After thinking about it, it seemed that it could only be Old Madam Zou that could find out the location of the Hou family¡¯s second young master and help Zou Lan so wholeheartedly. After seeing that Zou Lan kept resisting arrest through various means, an idea shed in his head. Could it be that Old Madam Zou wasn¡¯t actually the real Old Madam Zou all this time?


    When he was checking the guard¡¯s injuries, he roughly flipped through the plot and found that Old Madam Zou¡¯s maiden name was Tao, and she had a twin sister named Tao Hua. When Tao Hua was young, she was ignorant and eloped with a traveling doctor. Several yearster, she returned home with a baby girl in her arms. She said that her husband died from an illness and that she couldn¡¯t live on, so she brazenly brought her daughter back. At that time, Old Madam Zou had already married and moved to the capital. When she learned about it, she sent money back to help Tao Hua.


    A few yearster, Old Madam Zou¡¯s family suffered from a gue and many people died. Tao Hua brought her daughter with her to ask Old Madam Zou for shelter. Unfortunately, just as they were about to arrive at the capital, they were killed by bandits. At this time, when the news reached the Zou family, Old Madam Zou was outside the city burning incense at a temple. After hearing the news, she became seriously ill and had to stay in the temple for more than ten days before she recovered.


    Twins. Is this not the best example of exchanging a prince for a roon?


    ¡°Old Madam Zou¡­ oh no, maybe we should call her Old Madam Tao?¡± Ye Zhizhou changed his sitting position, put on a thoughtful thinking look and continued after stopping for a bit, ¡°The killer name Kang Run¡­ was he also found by you guys? You got close to Zhan Xuemi to find a good husband and protective shield. You found Kang Run because you wanted to frame him for the massacre in Huzhou, right?¡±


    Zou Lan suddenly raised his head and the resentment in his eyes changed to fear.


    ¡°Are you wondering how I know about Kang Run?¡± Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows and smiled at him. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because¡­ I guessed.¡± Kang Run¡¯s appearance was too abrupt. In such a deep mountain forest, he was inexplicably poisoned by an aphrodisiac and also ¡°coincidentally¡± met the protagonist. Truly an extremely tragic coincidence!


    After learning that the Huzhou massacre case was the protagonist¡¯s deed, he thought of the plot where the protagonist encountered Kang Run. He recalled that when he scanned all the poisons on the protagonist, he found that only the aphrodisiac was the hardest to detect. Suddenly, he found another possibility for Kang Run¡¯s aphrodisiac poisoning in the new plot.


    He could almost picture it. Zou Lan wanted to find a scapegoat for the Huzhou massacre case, so he settled on Kang Run and asked him to meet in the forest deep in the mountains. There, he would take the opportunity to give him the aphrodisiac. He didn¡¯t expect Kang Run to be so different from the soft-handed and soft-footed Zhan Xuemi after being poisoned with the aphrodisiac. Instead, he was pressed down and tossed about¡­ After realizing that he had dug a pit for himself instead of digging one for the other person, Zou Lan fled in a panic after Kang Run finished tossing him and passed out¡­


    Perfect. Perhaps this is what the plot was really like. Zou Lan¡¯s reaction just now also helped him affirm this possibility.


    ¡°I¡¯m curious,¡± he met Zou Lan¡¯s horrified gaze and asked, ¡°If you really managed to dig a pit for Kang Run, how were you going to let him carry the responsibility for the Huzhou massacre case? Luzhou and Huzhou are quite far apart, how were you going to connect Kang Run to the murders?¡±


    Zou Lan avoided his gaze, clenched his fists and didn¡¯t speak.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to talk, that¡¯s alright.¡± Ye Zhizhou got up to stuff the towel back into Zou Lan¡¯s mouth but was almost bitten. Slowly retracting his hand, he sneered and deliberately provoked him, ¡°You don¡¯t have to talk. When Kang Runes, I naturally have a way to find out.¡±


    Zou Lan struggled and let out a few ¡®wuwu¡¯ noises with his gaze bing hateful again.


    ¡°You can keep hating.¡± Ye Zhizhou looked towards Shen Tingwei who had appeared in the doorway. His smile became more genuine and he whispered, ¡°Your life is over. Before you go to the guillotine, I hope you dream of the 73 people that you killed every night.¡±


    Zou Lan began to struggle even harder.


    A system warning popped up again, and Ye Zhizhou regretfully suppressed his spiritual power and walked towards the door.


    Shen Tingwei pulled him into his embrace, looked at Zou Lan who was tied up, and asked, "How are you going to deal with him?¡±


    ¡°Naturally, it should be handled in ordance with thew.¡± Ye Zhizhou took his hand and thought about it before he added, ¡°But I hope that the government can make a public announcement about his crimes and let more people know about what he did.¡± Especially those two male leads in the capital who haven¡¯t met Zou Lan yet.


    "It should be done in this way."<hr>

 Chapter 80

    The Huzhou massacre case was quickly settled after Zou Lan was caught. The scattered Menghan poison, the corpse disguised as Zou Lan, and Zou Lan¡¯s concealed appearance in Luzhou all became the best evidence to prove that he was the murderer. Shen Tingwei arranged for soldiers to surround the wealthy merchant¡¯s mansion and searched it inch by inch. They finally found a ring belonging to Zou Lan at the site where the fire started. As the sky began to brighten, it was fortunate that they were able to find relevant clues that showed Zou Lan sent someone to a pharmacy to buy the medicinal ingredients for the Menghan poison. The soldiers continued to follow the clues and unexpectedly found out that the corpse dressed as Zou Lan was actually the person who helped him buy the materials. On the other hand, the coroner sent by Shen Tingwei also found some new evidence on the charred corpses.


    All of Zou Lan¡¯s crimes up until now have been exposed, and there was no longer any chance of reversing the verdict for the Huzhou massacre case.


    After getting the final verdict on the case at noon the next day, Shen Tingwei personally watched the Huzhou officials as they made a public announcement. Two dayster, the news of this tragic massacre swept through the capital like a storm and Zou Lan¡¯s name began to be frequently mentioned by everyone.


    Due to the case causing a hugemotion and being such a negative influence, the emperor directly gave Zou Lan the death penalty before the case was handed over to the capital¡¯s government by the Huzhou officials. For the sake of Zou Ming and Shen Tingwei, the emperor didn¡¯t me the rest of the Zou family and ordered to have only Zou Lan beheaded. However, Zou Qing was still punished and scolded by the emperor and was forced to take a long vacation. Yang Dexuan was angry and unsatisfied with this decision, but he couldn''t make the emperor change his mind. He could only put all of the Zou family into his cklist with hatred in his heart.


    The Huzhou massacre case stirred up the gossip circle in the capital. As Ye Zhizhou¡¯s business partner, Fei Jinchu wrote an urgent letter to him asking about his well being. After Ye Zhizhou received the letter, he was very touched and firmly decided to use the letter as part of his scheme. In his reply, Zou Lan was indirectly mentioned many times, which attracted Fei Jinchu¡¯s curiosity and he went out to understand Zou Lan¡¯s life story. The nails that had been buried in Mr. Storyteller were pulled out at this time. Various kinds of gossip about Zou Lan began to spread wildly, including ones about his evil mother, and his own arrogance and poisonous intentions.


    [The probability of Fei Jinchu and the protagonist falling in love have dropped to 20%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    [The probability of Yang Qi and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The second soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou withdrew his gaze from the light screen and pulled on the leaning Shen Tingwei, "You still haven''t caught Kang Run?"


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The mountain has already been sealed, we''ll catch him sooner orter.¡± Shen Tingwei put down the document of the final verdict sent by the Huzhou officials and put it together with the letter he wrote before giving it to the escort, telling him to hurry. He turned around and helped Ye Zhizhou pull up his cloak. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Now that I¡¯m so busy, I don¡¯t have time to apany you.¡±


    ¡°Your matters are more important,¡± he leaned over and rubbed his lover¡¯s shoulder. He went through Kang Run¡¯s information in his mind and asked casually, ¡°How many days will it take to wrap things up here?¡±


    ¡°Two days at most,¡± Shen Tingwei embraced him, rubbed his hair and then pinched his earlobe. ¡°What did father-inw say?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s still angry.¡± His youngest son arrested his second son. The old-fashioned Zou Qing couldn¡¯t ept this story at all. He wrote several letters to scold him. At his angriest point, he even said that he wanted to break off all rtionships with him¡­ If he wants to scold him, sure. Right now, Zou Qing can only vent about him. He reckons that the atmosphere back at home with Old Madam Zou and Yuan Hui is very delicate.


    Shen Tingwei knew that Ye Zhizhou had other ns in mind, so he didn¡¯t talk much about this topic. Instead, he started talking about the issue of arresting Kang Run.


    He narrowed his eyes as he listened while tapping on the mirror stuffed in his belt with his mind whirring. Kang Run wasn¡¯t caught, Zou Lan calmed down abnormally fast and there was still one full soul g left. He kept thinking that there¡¯s something wrong, but what could it be? Zou Lan didn¡¯t seem like the type of person to obediently wait for death.


    Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. He quickly raised his head and asked, ¡°Where is Zou Lan being locked up right now?¡±


    ¡°He has already been handed over to the government early this morning. Right now, he should be in Luzhou¡¯s prison.¡±


    The government prison¡­ He frowned and asked, ¡°When you went to arrest Kang Run, did you have any direct contact with him?¡±


    <span>¡°No. We only found some traces and objects left behind by him.¡± Shen Tingwei gradually realized that something was wrong when he spoke, and his expression became heavy. He got up and walked out quickly. ¡°I¡¯m going to the prison.¡±


    <span>Ye Zhizhou quickly hurried after him. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you!¡± It was his carelessness. Since it was Old Madam Zou who was behind Zou Lan and giving him instructions, then the person who contacted Kang Run was probably not Zou Lan but rather Old Madam Zou! The news of Zou Lan¡¯s arrest must''ve spread all over the capital now, Old Madam Zou should also know about it. Since she knows about it, how could she be so stupid and let Kang Run meet Zou Lan in the mountains? Those traces in the mountains should be a diversion left by Kang Run. At this time, he may be lurking in Luzhou, waiting for an opportunity to rescue Zou Lan. He depended too much on the plot information given by the system and ignored such obvious plot changes. Damn it! He should have realized it as early as when Zou Lan¡¯s encounter with Zhan Xuemi happened ahead of schedule.


    The two quickly hurried to the prison and saw Zhan Xuemi squatting in front of Zou Lan¡¯s cell, holding a big food box while chattering about something.


    ¡°Why are you here?¡± Ye Zhizhou strode past him and followed his gaze to look into the prison cell. When he saw that Zou Lan was still there, his jumping and panicking heart finally calmed down. With a headache slowly forming, he turned to look at Zhan Xuemi to say, ¡°Didn¡¯t I arrange for someone to send you back to the capital? Why did youe back again?¡± This young master of the Hou family is like a child who hasn¡¯t grown up. Whenever Ye Zhizhou sees him, he gets a headache.


    ¡°I just wanted to see this viinous person who looked like a good man once more before I left¡­¡± After taking a weak nce at Shen Tingwei who had taken a step forward, he shrank his neck back as he swallowed down the word ¡®beauty¡¯ that was about to slip out and whispered, ¡°When I came here, I happened to run into the kitchen maid that gave the prisoner food. That¡­ how can that food actually be considered human food? This Zou Lan was about to be beheaded after returning to the capital, I thought that he might as well have a goodst meal so I went to the restaurant and bought some food for him¡­¡± As he continued to speak, his words were said with the feeling of being wronged. ¡°I was being so kind but he even ignored me. It¡¯s not like I made him kill people or am the one chopping off his head.¡±


    Shen Tingwei¡¯s look changed. ¡°You said the person who delivered the meal was a kitchen maid?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± When Zhan Xuemi saw Shen Tingwei¡¯s face bing darker, he became even more terrified. ¡°It was a strong-looking kitchen maid. When they saw mee in, they even saluted me. A very polite person¡­¡±


    Not good!


    Shen Tingwei and Ye Zhizhou looked at each other and then Shen Tingwei directly went up and kicked the prison cell door open.


    ¡°What are you guys doing?¡± Zhan Xuemi was frightened by this sudden action. He stared at the two people with wide eyes and suddenly lowered his voice while saying, ¡°Are you going to break him out of jail? That¡¯s not good. Although this viinous man is your rtive, he¡¯s extremely bad, no¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not a kitchen maid that delivers the food to the prison.¡± Ye Zhizhou looked deeply at Zou Lan, who had been curled up and unmoving in the corner of the cell this entire time. He clenched his fist tightly. ¡°The kitchen maid you saw is the person who came to break him out of jail.¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Zhan Xuemi was terrified.


    The iron locks on the door seemed to be tightly wound and sealed, but in fact, they had already been cut. Shen Tingwei had only slightly kicked the door but all the chains broke and fell to the ground. Shen Tingwei pushed the door open and tookrge steps into the cell. He brushed the hair away from Zou Lan¡¯s face, touched his neck, and then shook his head while looking at Ye Zhizhou solemnly. ¡°It¡¯s a human skin mask. The person¡¯s already dead, but based on the body¡¯s temperature, it hasn¡¯t been that long since he died.¡±


    The officers on guard outside quickly rushed inside when they heard the noise and were stunned greatly when they happened to hear his words.


    Shen Tingwei got up and said in a deep voice, ¡°Send the orders, seal the city gate and search the city! ¡±


    The foolish officers came back to reality one by one and then ran out in a hurry. This criminal was just moved to this prison and he already escaped. Our lord is unlucky. If the lord encountered this bad luck, how could they, the door guards, have a good life anymore?


    Ye Zhizhou took a deep breath, exhaled, and then rubbed his forehead. ¡°It must be Kang Run¡¯s doing¡­ What on earth was he thinking? Although assassins take money for their work¡­¡± But Zou Lan caused so much trouble that he even disturbed the emperor. Slightly smarter people wouldn¡¯t touch the job with a ten-foot pole. Was Kang Run stupid?


    ¡°me me. I shouldn¡¯t have given him over to the Luzhou government.¡± Shen Tingwei stepped forward and stroked his hair soothingly.


    ¡°You were following the rules of the court for these affairs.¡± Ye Zhizhou felt somewhat helpless. He waved his hand and walked outside. ¡°They can¡¯t have run far. Let¡¯s not rely on the Luzhou government to search the city and just do it ourselves.¡±


    Shen Tingwei caught up with him and nodded obediently. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll immediately move the troops.¡±


    Zhan Xuemi looked at them walk away, and then turned his head to look at the corpse in the prison cell left behind by everyone. He trembled with fear and dashed out. ¡°Oh mother, I¡¯m never going to run around to y anymore. The outside world is too terrifying!¡± ¡±


    They spent the entire day searching through the city without sess.


    Ye Zhizhou sat in the inn room, closed his eyes and slowly spread his spiritual power, searching inch by inch. Although he didn¡¯t leave his spiritual power on Zou Lan¡¯s body before, he brushed the other side several times and somewhat remembered his aura. Using just this to locate someone is difficult, but it wasn¡¯t impossible.


    Shen Tingwei, who was inspecting a residential area in the city, seemed to have noticed something. He nced at the inn where Ye Zhizhou was located and his tense facial expression slightly rxed.


    On the ridgepole of a house not far from the city gate, Zou Lan hugged himself in panic before looking at Kang Run, who was dressed in all ck, with tears streaking his face. He asked anxiously, ¡°What should we do now brother Kang Run?¡±


    Kang Run let down the curtain and turned to look at Zou Lan expressionlessly. ¡°Aunt Tao did my master a favor. Since I promised her that I would save you, I won¡¯t break my promise. You can be at ease.¡±


    ¡°But the city has been closed off, and the government soldiers will check in here soon. We¡­¡±


    ¡°I heard that you put poison on your face to change your appearance. Once the poison is cured, then wouldn¡¯t your face change?


    ¡°How did you know?¡± Zou Lan looked at him suspiciously. ¡°Brother Kang Run, w-why are you asking about this?¡±


    Kang Run took out a porcin bottle from his clothes and stroked it preciously. He nced at Zou Lan from the side and the corners of his mouth curved up, showing a smile. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that my master left behind this cure poison pill¡­¡±


    Zou Lan was frightened by his sinister smile and couldn¡¯t help unconsciously moving backwards. He patted his clothes intuitively, but after touching emptiness, he suddenly remembered that all the things he had to defend himself were already taken away by the government soldiers. He increasingly felt worried in his heart. He pulled down the corners of his mouth and showed a more pitiful expression and said in a soft tone, ¡°Brother Kang Run, you¡¯re so skillful. I believe that you can get me out. You¡¯ve been working all day, you should go to sleep for a while. I¡¯ll watch over you.¡±


    ¡°And give you the chance to steal everything on me and run away by yourself while I¡¯m asleep?¡± Kang Run looked at him with a smile that didn¡¯t look like a smile. He suddenly bent over and pulled out a dagger from his boot and turned around. ¡°In this world, I don¡¯t trust anyone except Master.¡±


    rm bells rang in Zou Lan¡¯s head, but his face became more innocent. ¡°You¡¯re thinking too much, brother Kang Run. I¡¯m just a weak ger, how can I¡­¡±


    ¡°But you, as a weak ger, killed more people than I have.¡± Kang Run interrupted him and resumed his expressionless look. ¡°I¡¯ll carve your face, or you eat this pill yourself. Which one do you choose?¡±


    "Brother Kang Run¡­"


    ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared a n to abandon my assassin life and live as an ordinary person.¡± Kang Run suddenly came forward and pinched his cheek, waving the dagger close to his face. ¡°But because of your grandmother¡¯s damned favor and her holding my master¡¯s information, I had no choice but to risk it all to save you, this hot potato."


    Zou Lan¡¯s eyes followed the dagger''s movements, holding his breath in horror.


    ¡°I read the announcement outside; you really deserve it. Even an assassin has people they would never touch, such as children and babies¡­ But your heart is harder than an assassin!¡± Kang Run released Zou Lan¡¯s face and shook the porcin bottle. ¡°Don¡¯t call me brother, and don¡¯t put on that pitiful face in front of me. It will only make me angrier. Now tell me, are you going to take this medicine or not?¡±


    Zou Lan¡¯s face was alreadypletely pale. He didn¡¯t dare to resist and took the medicine obediently.


    The Huadu pill was very effective. Within a few minutes, Zou Lan¡¯s face gradually expelled dirty ck blood. The intense pain that felt like ants were biting his flesh made Zou Lan want to scream and roll, but his body was tied up by Kang Run, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth towels so he could only forcibly endure.


    20 minutester, the toxin waspleted expelled and he fainted.


    Kang Run withdrew his gaze that was looking outside and threw a blood replenishing pill into Zou Lan¡¯s mouth. His gaze swept over the real face under the dirty blood and sneered, ¡°Ugly garbage.¡±


    [The probability of Kang Rung and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    He finally found the trace of a certain fluctuation in his spiritual power. After he noted the position, he quickly withdrew his spiritual power. He threw an Anshen pill into his mouth and covered his forehead. Luzhou City was too big and he identally exhausted his spiritual power¡­


    ncing over at the screen that popped up in front of him, he stood up with a headache and suspected that he hallucinated. What was the protagonist doing that made Kang Run¡¯s love probability decrease by itself¡­


    After opening the door, he called for a guard and gave him some instructions. He returned to his room and fell onto the bed, stuffing another Anshen pill into his mouth as he closed his eyes. Hopefully, his lover can use some force and quickly catch them after getting their coordinates¡­ He¡¯s going to be in aa for a while¡­<hr>

 Chapter 81

    Kang Runid on his stomach motionlessly on the roof, looking in the direction of the street corner. Suddenly, his eyes sharpened and he quickly flipped off the roof, jumped into the room from the window and shook the unconscious Zou Lan on the bed to wake him. ¡°Wake up. The soldiers on searching duty areing.¡±


    Zou Lan¡¯s eyes were tightly shut and he was unresponsive.


    ¡°Tsk, he is really weak. Just curing the poison and he faints for so long.¡± Kang Run looked at him in disgust. He took out a silver needle from his clothes and pricked Zou Lan with it. He watched as Zou Lan¡¯s eyelids trembled and waited for him to wake up before he quickly said, ¡°There¡¯s a secret cer near the back. Go hide in it. I¡¯ll watch the government soldiers¡¯ movements outside. Don¡¯te out without my permission, understand?¡±


    However, Zou Lan acted like he didn¡¯t hear him at all. When he woke up, he immediately went to touch his face. After seeing the dirty ck blood on his hands, he let out a piercing scream and looked at Kang Run in terror. ¡°My face! What happened to my face? Brother Kang Run, wasn¡¯t it an antidote? Why did my face be like this? Is my face ruined?¡±


    ¡°Be quiet!¡± Kang Run regret waking him up after seeing his reaction and raised his hand to knock him out. He didn¡¯t expect that Zou Lan was so agile when he was very emotional. After avoiding his hand, Zou Lan held onto his arm and continued to cry, ¡°Brother Kang Run, you have to save me. Heal my face, I don¡¯t want to live like this forever. You have to save me!¡±


    After estimating the time it would take for the government soldiers to get from the street to this house, Kang Run became increasingly anxious. He tore Zou Lan off his arm and threatened him, ¡°Shout again and I¡¯ll directly throw you out. If you don¡¯t want to die, shut up and go to the back door. Quickly!¡±


    Zou Lan was frightened by the murderous look on his face. The arm that was holding onto Kang Run trembled a little before slowly loosening.


    There was an unexpected, slight tingling sensation on Kang Run''s arm, but he didn¡¯t pay much attention to it. Seeing that Zou Lan finally obediently went to the back door, he quickly turned to the window and looked out from the crack. His right hand touched the flexible sword wrapped around his waist.


    ¡°Brother Kang Run.¡±


    He stopped his movements, turned his head and sneered impatiently, ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left yet? Do you really want to die?¡±


    Zou Lan, with a hideously messy face covered with ck blood, suddenly smiled and waved at him, ¡°Thank you for saving me. I wish you a safe trip to the underworld.¡±


    ¡°Did you be insane? Still not¡ª¡± His voice abruptly stopped as an excruciating pain suddenly rose from his arm and spread quickly throughout his whole body. He looked at Zou Lan incredulously, and the flexible sword fell from his hand. ¡°You¡­¡±


    With a thud, he fell t on his face.


    Zou Lan went up to kick him while wiping his face with his sleeve and looking down at his fingernails. He sneered, ¡°Men are truly unreliable and useless things¡­ Useless trash, it¡¯s a waste that Grandmother trusted you so much!¡± He crouched down and searched Kang Run¡¯s body for all the hidden weapons on him. He listened to the movements outside the house, lifted his clothes and then ran towards the back door.


    When Ye Zhizhou woke up, it was already dark and Shen Tingwei still hadn¡¯t returned. His overused spiritual power recovered quite a bit. After he got up and freshened up, he called for a guard to ask, ¡°Have they still not caught them yet?¡±


    The guard lowered his head. ¡°The general looked for the criminals in the location based on your instructions, and indeed found traces of the prisoner there¡­But the prisoner is¡­ missing.¡±


    ¡°Missing?¡± He got up in surprise. ¡°How could he be missing? Then, what about Kang Run?¡±


    ¡°By the time we arrived, Kang Run was already on the ground and unconscious with severe poisoning. The general called a doctor to treat him.¡±


    Kang Run was severely poisoned? Ye Zhizhou rubbed his forehead, unable to understand the plot development. He thought that once he woke up, he would be able to see the protagonist and Kang Run arrested together. He didn¡¯t expect such a surprise to happen¡­ Could this be the reason why the love probability fell to 50%? The protagonist poisoned Kang Run? A weak chicken ger who had been held in captivity for several days was able to poison an assassin?


    He took a deep breath to hold back the ache in his brain that started again. He weakly said, ¡°Take me to the general. I have some things to ask Kang Run.¡±


    The guard hesitated for a moment and lowered his head even more. ¡°That¡­ Kang Run has been in aa since capture, I¡¯m afraid¡­ The doctor said that the poison in his body was too fierce and unique, so they wouldn¡¯t be able to develop an antidote in such a short amount of time.¡±


    That¡¯s annoying. He waved his hand and took the lead to go out first. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I can cure his poison. Let¡¯s go.¡±


    The guard was stunned and hurried to follow him. His eyes contained a trace of surprise and worship. The general¡¯s wife can even solve this kind of backdoor poison. Before that, he even helped the general urately find the location where the prisoner was hiding. How amazing!


    <span>Kang Run was ced in another inn where only soldiers lived, to ensure that he had no chance of escaping, even if he was awake and not poisoned.


    <span>Ye Zhizhou pushed the door open and nodded to Shen Tingwei in haste as a greeting. He went to the bedside, opened the small mirror¡¯s scanning function and scanned Kang Run¡¯s body. After getting the result, he directly took out a detoxification pill and bent down to feed it to Kang Run.


    ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Shen Tingwei waved his hand to signal to the guard in the room to leave. He walked up to Ye Zhizhou with a dark face, touched his hands and said, ¡°It¡¯s cold at night. Why didn¡¯t you put on a cloak?¡± After saying this, he took his cloak on the chair and put it on Ye Zhizhou.


    ¡°I was in a hurry when I went out and forgot about it.¡± At this moment, Ye Zhizhou finally felt a little cold. After tightening the cloak, he took out a porcin bottle, opened it and waved it under Kang Run¡¯s nose. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°Somehow I made it. If I waited for another half-hour, even the immortals couldn''t save this man.¡±


    Shen Tingwei sat down on the chair beside the bed and looked at Kang Run with him. His tone was somewhat heavy. ¡°It¡¯s useless. An ordinary antidote is useless. The poison in his body spread too fast and has already prated his internal organs.¡±


    It was only then that Ye Zhizhou remembered that his lover still didn¡¯t know about the special pills in his possession. The corners of his mouth raised, and he took out an antidote pill to hand to him. ¡°His poison has been cured with this pill. Here, you take this. In the future, if you ever get poisoned, use this. I have more than enough.¡±


    Shen Tingwei showed a rare expression of astonishment.


    As if to confirm Ye Zhizhou¡¯s words, Kang Run stirred in the bed and his eyelids fluttered open. When Kang Run realized that someone was next to him, his first instinct was to get up and attack, but he immediately felt the sharp lingering pain in his body. He took a deep breath and unconsciously curled up.


    Shen Tingwei extended his arm to control Kang Run but was blocked by Ye Zhizhou in time. ¡°I have something to ask him, don¡¯t make him faint again.¡± After saying that, he took out a pill that made muscles weak and forced Kang Run¡¯s mouth open as he fed the pill to him.


    The pain gradually disappeared, but his body couldn''t move. Kang Run looked at Ye Zhizhou with hatred. ¡°What did you feed me?¡±


    ¡°Something to save your life. Would you rather be poisoned?¡± When Ye Zhizhou saw him, he would be reminded of the missing protagonist. He was very resentful. ¡°I don¡¯t know why you would save Zou Lan, but now you¡¯ve tasted the bitter fruit of saving him. Where is Zou Lan? Where would he most likely hide after poisoning you? Or, which direction would he most likely run to?¡±


    The memories before he lost consciousness gradually returned to him and Kang Run hatefully ground his teeth, ¡°That slut!¡±


    [The probability of Kang Run and the protagonist falling in love have dropped to 20%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    After almost being poisoned to death by the other, his love probability still hasn¡¯tpletely fallen? Good, good. Ye Zhizhou became even angrier and continued, ¡°I don¡¯t have the time for you to feel sorry for yourself. Tell me now, where did Zou Lan run off to?¡±


    Kang Run looked at him gloomily and then turned his head away. ¡°There are no good gers. Just kill me!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou gasped in anger. How could there be such a person in this world? This troll! He really wants to hammer him to death! Although there¡¯s no quantity limit to the system pills, these pills aren¡¯t candy that can be eaten casually! Kang Run¡¯s attitude is simply forcing people to regret saving him!


    Hearing his words, Shen Tingwei¡¯s face turned dark and he directly went up to jab Kang Run¡¯s body several times. Kang Run, who was clearly awake, fainted with his eyes rolling back.


    ¡°What have you done to him?¡± Ye Zhizhou was surprised and pulled his sleeve. "I was still asking him for Zou Lan whereabouts¡­"


    ¡°It¡¯s okay. He¡¯ll wake up in ten minutes.¡± Shen Tingwei took his hand catingly. He pulled him up and walked him to the room next door. ¡°You can leave his interrogation to me. Go next door and rest for a while, I¡¯ll be done soon.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou followed him passively, with some doubts. ¡°Are you sure you can do it?" From first nce, he could tell that Kang Run was a hard nut to crack. He was already fooled by Zou Lan to this point, but he was still unwilling to talk. He is also someone that is hard on himself.


    ¡°Trust me.¡± Shen Tingwei stroked his face, half coaxing him and half pushing him into the next room while calling a midnight snack for him.


    Five minutester, a hot bowl of delicious beef noodles was delivered to Ye Zhizhou. He had just picked up a bite with his chopsticks when a scream that could pierce through the clouds came from next door.


    His chopsticks trembled and the noodles slipped back into the bowl.


    He looked at the neighboring room in surprise, thought about it for a bit and then chose to pretend to be deaf as he buried his head in eating the noodles. In the ancient era, the interrogation method was somewhat violent¡­ If his lover really broke the person, he could just go secretly heal themter.


    15 minutester, his belly was full and the screaming from next door also stopped. Two minutester, Shen Tingwei pushed the door open and came in with his same hard and expressionless face.


    Ye Zhizhou put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. He whispered, ¡°Have you settled it?"


    ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± Shen Tingwei came up to him and looked at his noodle bowl. He saw that most of the bowl was empty. With some reluctance, he stroked his hair in satisfaction before pulling him up. ¡°I haven¡¯t asked for the details yet, we can ask together. He won¡¯t be so tight-lipped anymore.¡±


    The badly mangled flesh and blood that he imagined didn¡¯t appear. Kang Run¡¯s hands and feet were still intact and there was also no problem with his face. It¡¯s just the gaze looking toward Shen Tingwei was both angry and afraid, like a mouse that saw a cat.


    Ye Zhizhou tentatively asked a few questions, and the other party actually answered them all without concealing anything. After he finished asking him the questions, he tugged on Shen Tingwei with surprise, looking at him up and down before asking, ¡°What on earth did you do to him? How did he be so obedient?¡± He¡¯s obedient to the point of being like a bok choy that he personally raised; it was like you could do whatever you want.


    ¡°Using both the carrot and the stick, very simple.¡± Shen Tingwei enjoyed his current expression immensely, and his tone became softer. ¡°Okay, you can go to sleep now. I¡¯ll deal with the rest.¡±


    His spiritual power hasn''t fully recovered yet and he wasn''t at his best right now, but he learned his lesson after he went to sleep earlier and woke up and found that the plot was a mess. He couldn''t afford to ignore anything and leave everything to his lover.


    ¡°I¡¯m going with you.¡± He grabbed Shen Tingwei¡¯s hand and insisted, ¡°My heart won¡¯t be settled if we can¡¯t find Zou Lan.¡±


    Shen Tingwei frowned, kneaded his hand and saw that Ye Zhizhou was staring at him silently. He helplesslypromised. ¡°Then, you have to follow me and not run around recklessly.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou quickly nodded his head. ¡°No problem!¡±


    The husband and wife pair attacking together, naturally, the result should be¡­ Unexpectedly, there was no result.


    Three days after closing the city, an extensive search was conducted countless times. However, it was as if Zou Lan hadpletely vanished from the world¡ªthey were unable to find any traces of him. The people of Luzhou still had to live so the city gate couldn¡¯t be closed all the time. Without any other choice, the government could only reluctantly open the city gate after thest investigation.


    By the time another week passed, the surrounding viges, towns, and forests were all checked but nothing was found. The emperor was already urging Shen Tingwei to return while Yuan Hui from the Zou family side was also urging Ye Zhizhou to return. The two had no choice but to return to the capital.


    After returning to the capital, they rested for a day before Ye Zhizhou arrived at the Zou family manor with a group of Shen Tingwei¡¯s personal guards. He seized Old Madam Zou and her servants. Zou Qing wasn¡¯t able to spit out any of the reprimands that he had been holding back for the past 2 weeks before he was stunned silly by Ye Zhizhou¡¯s shocking actions.


    ¡°What are you doing!¡± He came forward, trying to push aside the guard who was holding down Old Madam Zou, but the guard blocked him with a sword. He could only look angrily at Ye Zhizhou to sneer, ¡°It¡¯s not enough to arrest your own brother, now you also want to start things with your own grandmother! What exactly are you trying to do?¡±


    ¡°Father, take a good look. Is this really my grandmother?¡± Ye Zhizhou didn¡¯t care about Zou Qing¡¯s anger at all. He opened a portrait and held it in front of him while saying in a low voice, ¡°This is the portrait of grandmother that grandfather painted for her. Father, you should take a really good look at it.¡±


    Zou Qing¡¯s eyes fell on to the portrait and frowned after a few nces. ¡°What kind of ruckus are you trying to make? Isn¡¯t that your grandmother? Let your grandmother go!¡±


    This blind guy¡­ really deserves to recognize the wrong mother for so many years!


    ¡°Look carefully at the forehead, the side hairs on the temples and especially at the ears.¡± He pushed the portrait forward, almost pasting it onto Zou Qing¡¯s face. ¡°My real grandmother has big and full earlobes. The side hairs on the right side are longer than the left side, and that one¡­¡± he pointed to the ¡®Old Madam Zou¡¯ who had been silent this whole time, keeping up the official wife like attitude and sneered, ¡°Her earlobes are small and thin, and her side hairs are symmetrical on both side. It¡¯s obviously not the same person as the portrait!"


    Zou Qing heard him, looked at the portrait and then looked at his ¡®mother¡¯ next to him, stupefied. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°Father, pinch your own earlobes and then think about Aunt Tao¡¯s earlobes. Do you realize anything?¡± He put the portrait away and handed over a tattered family register. ¡°This is grandmother¡¯s family register. You¡¯ll understand after reading it.¡±


    Zou Qing quickly took the family register, opened it and read through it rapidly.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to look at it.¡± Old Madam Zou suddenly stepped forward and calmly said, ¡°Qing¡¯er, I¡¯m not your real mother. In terms of blood rtionship, you should call me aunt.¡±


    Zou Qing clenched the hands, which were holding the family register, and stared at her with a twisted expression. ¡°Are you the aunt who was supposed toe to my home but was killed half-way?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s me.¡± She dusted off her sleeves and fixed the hairpin holding her hair. She said indifferently, ¡°I killed your mother and you killed my daughter. We¡¯re even.¡± Looking at Ye Zhizhou, the corners of her mouth pulled up and she showed a fierce dark smile. ¡°You were the biggest ident in my n. I should¡¯ve killed you back then.¡±


    ¡°Unfortunately, you didn¡¯t.¡± For this kind of old monster, Ye Zhizhou had some ways to stimte her. He said slowly and leisurely, ¡°You have no more chances to kill me, but I still have the chance to kill your grandson.¡±


    The olddy¡¯s saggy face trembled for a moment, then, she suddenly took out a pill and swallowed it. Sheughed loudly and said, ¡°Either way, I¡¯ve been sessful all my life! You were all losers fooled by me! Just like ythings in my palm!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou watched her with cold eyes as sheughed. He watched as she spat out blood and then fell to the ground before disdainfully saying, ¡°It¡¯s very courageous tomit suicide when things are revealed. Living as someone else all your life, repressing your nature to y another person and not even letting your own daughter address you as ''mother'' in broad daylight. You don¡¯t dare to go to your ancestor¡¯s grave after death, and you won¡¯t have rtives in your reincarnation¡­ If such a life is considered sessful, then I admit that you¡¯re very good at deluding yourself. Don¡¯t worry, your grandson won¡¯t go on your road of ''sess''. He has another dead end to follow.¡±


    ¡°No¡­¡± Her body twitched and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed. Her fingers tightly grabbed at the cracks in the bricks and the stones on the ground as her throat gasped hoarsely, ¡°Lan¡¯er, you really are part of the Zou Family¡­ Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong¡­¡±


    The register in Zou Qing¡¯s hands fell to the ground and he sank to his knees, grabbing his hair as he fell apart, shaking his head as he cried bitterly, ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s not true¡­ It¡¯s not true¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked at Zou Qing and then looked at the olddy who had fallen to the ground while sighing. The words he said earlier could also apply to him. He lived several worlds as someone else, trying to imitate the original owner¡¯s personality in front of their rtives. Thinking carefully, is that not equally despicable and ridiculous?


    Yuan Hui, who had been standing outside the courtyard door as a bystander this whole time, slowly stepped forward and stood behind him. She patted his shoulder and said softly, ¡°Mingming, lunch is ready. Mother personally cooked your favorite <span>drunken duck for you. Let¡¯s go, the dishes will get cold.¡±


    He pulled away from the suddenly rising dark train of thought and turned to face her with a smile. The task isn¡¯t over yet, the y will continue. He can only hope to keep true to himself and try his best to let the people that the original owner cared about be safe and happy.


    Half a monthter, the Zou family''s situation basically stabilized. Zou Qing didn¡¯t arrange a funeral for the fake Old Madam Zou. He only said that ¡®Old Madam Zou¡¯ had gone back to her hometown to rest and recuperate. Afterwards, Zou Qing became seriously ill. Zou Yuan, the eldest son of the Zou family who had left home to study, finally returned home. The burden on Yuan Hui¡¯s shoulders was lifted and Ye Zhizhou finally didn¡¯t have to run back and forth between the two families.


    Another six months went by peacefully. It was like Zou Lan had just vanished from the world, leaving behind no trace. The love probability of the remaining two soul gs was stubbornly stuck at 20%, even though Fei Jinchu and Kang Run hated Zou Lan to the bone.


    On an ordinary afternoon, the Chunxiu Garden troupe came to the Shen Mansion to perform for Old Madam Shen. Ye Zhizhou wasying down in the garden pavilion, eating grapes, beingzy and not wanting to move.


    [The probability of Fei Jinchu, Kang Run and the protagonist falling in love has risen to 30%. Asking host to please pay attention! Asking host to please pay attention!]


    He quickly sat up and nearly choked to death on the grape he was eating.<hr>


    The author has something to say:


    Thank you Jun Shi for your grenade! Love you so much = 3=


    PS: Ah, one minutete!


    Wonder what happened to make that love probability go up

 Chapter 82

    After swallowing the grapes stuck in his throat, Ye Zhizhou quickly opened the system information. He let out a relieved sigh after seeing that the plot didn¡¯t change, got up and then ran towards the study.


    ¡°Tingwei!¡± Ye Zhizhou pushed the study door open and discovered that Kang Run was also there. His eyes shed before he gave a smile and asked, ¡°Kang Run, why did you suddenlye back? Were you not just arrested and taken away by the Ministry of Justice to be a thug?¡± Initially, after Shen Tingwei finished with him, Kang Run was directly thrown into prison. Two monthster, Kang Run asked to be enlisted in his army. Shen Tingwei gave him a chance and now, Kang Run is a soldier funded by the government, under the supervision of Shen Tingwei.


    ¡°Madam.¡± Kang Run politely saluted him and responded respectfully, ¡°The task has beenpleted. At the moment, this servant came to see the general to discuss the matter of my transfer to the general¡¯s troops.¡±


    ¡°You want to join Tingwei''s troops?¡± Ye Zhizhou was surprised and then smiled. He passed the bunch of grapes he was holding to Kang Run and said, ¡°Then, congrattions. These grapes are produced by the Shen family, they¡¯re very sweet. Try some.¡±


    Kang Run hesitated for a moment and then reached to take it.


    When Ye Zhizhou saw him take the grapes, he turned his head to look at Shen Tingwei, who came up to him and said with a happy face, ¡°The y in the garden is very lively. Grandmother has been moring for you to keep herpany. Since you¡¯re done with your business, you should go quickly.¡±


    Shin Tingwei frowned, took his hand and kneaded it. He asked softly, ¡°Are you noting?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to pick some more grapes.¡± Ye Zhizhou took his hand back and then pped them together. ¡°The grapes at home are really good. You can go call a few guards to help me pick them. Their hands and feet are more nimble than the maids.¡±


    ¡°Whatever you want.¡± Shen Tingwei nodded and nced at Kang Run on the side. ¡°If you have no other matters, we can go watch the y together. The recent ys by the Chunxiu Garden troupe are very good. You can rest assured that the men¡¯s seats are separated from the women¡¯s seats. It¡¯s also arge garden.¡±


    Kang Run¡¯s obediently agreed, showing no trace of the once difficult trained assassin.


    The three men separated at the entrance. Ye Zhizhou watched them walk far away before looking at the guards that came over in session. He waved his hand, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going to the small flower garden to pick some grapes.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡± The lead guard''s expression twisted a bit and he whispered, ¡°But there are no grapes in the small flower garden.¡±


    ¡°There is one,¡± he grinned andughed. His spiritual power floated around him cheerfully. ¡°There¡¯s a grape that¡¯s been growing secretly for half a year, it¡¯s about time to pick it.¡±


    On the other side, in the big garden, Shen Tingwei sat down with Kang Run. After the servant finished pouring some tea, he nced at the grapes that Kang Run put down on the table and let out a rareugh. ¡°The grapes that Mingming said were sweet must be very good. Give it a taste. Speaking of that, I haven¡¯t tasted the grapes this time,¡± when he finished saying this, he plucked one and ate it first.


    Kang Run took the opportunity to also take a grape and ce it in his mouth after seeing Shen Tingwei do it. The grape was the type that wasrge and purple with sweet flesh, lots of juice and was really delicious. After he swallowed one, he realized that the vor was good and couldn¡¯t help picking another one repeatedly. In less than half an hour, all the grapes were eaten by him. He was a bit surprised at his gluttony. Halfway through the y, he got up and asked for permission to relieve himself. Shen Tingwei nodded, half distracted, seemingly too focused on watching the y.


    Behind the stage, a dainty looking theatre handyman lifted his head, ncing from the corner of his eye at the direction that Kang Run went to and quietly followed.


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s spiritual power perceived Kang Run¡¯s approach. He took the basket from the guard¡¯s hand and said with augh, ¡°Okay, you guys can keep yourself busy. I¡¯ll take the grape to the stage area myself.¡±


    The guardsplied and turned around to go their respective ways.


    Ye Zhizhou carried the basket, walking alone in the direction of the big garden, looking very rxed.


    100 meters, 50 meters, 20 meters, ten meters¡­ He stumbled suddenly and then vexedly lowered his basket and stooped down to tidy up a long piece of clothing. Another tiny and somewhat familiar presence abruptly intruded his spiritual. Satisfied, he put down his clothes, picked up the basket and continued to walk forward.


    Ten meters were quickly traversed and the silence was broken by the sound of a concealed weapon flying through the air. Ye Zhizhou looked sideways without dodging or escaping. ¡°You¡¯ve been working for the government for half a year Kang Run, why do you still have such heavy killing intent surrounding your body?¡±


    The concealed weapon was blocked by the guards that suddenly rushed out and a scream was heard in the distance, followed by the sound of the approaching guards¡¯ dense footsteps. Kang Run, who was hiding behind the flower shrubs was shocked and turned to run, but was stopped by Shen Tingwei who had snuck behind him. Suddenly, his limbs became weak and his heart sank. He raised his head to look up at Shen Tingwei and said, ¡°Did you poison me?¡±


    Ye Zhizhouid his basket down and went over. When he heard the words, heughed, ¡°You¡¯ve wrongly used Tingwei, I¡¯m the one who poisoned you. How were the grapes? Delicious?¡±


    <span>¡°You guys have been ying me?¡± Kang Run, who at this moment didn¡¯t understand,pletely tore apart his disguise over the past 6 months and roared, ¡°You guys already knew¡­ already knew¡­ Despicable!¡±


    <span>¡°Already knew what? That you have brain damage? Knowing that you were almost killed by Zou Lan but still chose to help him?¡± The smile on Ye Zhizhou¡¯s face faded away, and he looked down on Kang Run. ¡°Rivers and mountains are easier to change than a person¡¯s nature. You¡¯ve changed too much, any person with brains will doubt it. Yesterday, the news of Tingwei going to the border came out. Today, you couldn¡¯t wait to catch me and rece me. Were you hoping that Tingwei wouldn¡¯t be able to recognize his wife after going to the border for a few years?¡±


    It was at this time that the guard pulled out the seized handyman from the theatre group. Ye Zhizhou turned to look at him, his gaze sweeping over the two gs on his head and he sneered, ¡°Zou Lan, your face right now isn¡¯t bad. Did you put some of the appearance changing medicine on it? Are you really not scared of death? If your n today went through, were you going to put on some more medicine to change your appearance to mine?¡±


    The theater handyman looked at him pitifully and actedpletely innocent. ¡°Madam, I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re talking about. I-I just got lost when I came out to use the bathroom¡­ Madam, I¡¯m being wronged, you can¡¯t¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was toozy to listen to him shed crocodile tears over this dispute. He stepped forward and fed him a pill. ¡°I¡¯ve cured the poison on your face. No need to thank me.¡± When he was done saying this, he took a step back and looked at him coldly. He couldn¡¯t harm the protagonist directly, because of the rules, but the pill he just fed him was indeed an antidote. The antidote and his Meiyan pill differ in the fact that the antidote only cures the poison, but doesn¡¯t heal the face. The poison on the protagonist¡¯s face is so deep, after getting rid of it, the protagonist¡¯s face is probably already ruined.


    The handyman winced at Ye Zhizhou¡¯s piercing gaze. Soon after, arge amount of ck blood started oozing out from his face. His skin quickly dissolved and disappeared, turning his face into a piece of bumpy looking red meat. He didn¡¯t seem to feel any pain, it was only after seeing everyone was looking at him with shock and disgust that he started to feel his face.


    ¡°Ah! My face! My face! Zou Ming, you bitch! What did you feed me?!¡± Zou Lan finally dropped his act and screamed as he covered his face with his hands. ¡°Kang Run, kill him for me! Kill him! Otherwise, I¡¯ll publicize your master¡¯s information! Kill Zou Ming for me quickly!¡±


    Kang Run, who couldn¡¯t move, looked at him with resentment and turned his head away without speaking.


    The probability of Fei Jinchu and the protagonist falling in love have dropped to 0%. The third soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    The protagonist¡¯s face was just ruined and Fei Jinchu¡¯s g was pulled out¡­ So Fei Jinchu was actually a face-con?


    Shaking the random thought away, he turned to look at Kang Run and took out a portrait. ¡°Does he mean the portrait of your master¡¯s new appearance after it was changed by medicine? Have you been helping Zou Lan all this time because of this? You were afraid that if he publicized this information, it would destroy your master¡¯s retirement life?¡± After guessing that Old Madam Zou was the person who contacted Kang Run, he gradually understood that in the original plot, the person Kang Run was helping from beginning to end was Zou Lan. Getting close to the real Zou Ming and retaliating against the Zou family by throwing Zou Lan into the brothel was a facade. His real purpose the entire time was to help Zou Lan rece Zou Ming.


    With this premise, there¡¯s a reasonable exnation of how Zou Lan was so easily broken out of the sealed general¡¯s mansion to rece Zou Ming in the original plot. In the end ¡®Zou Lan¡¯ was taken from the general¡¯s mansion by Kang Run, but who knew who the actual person really was? A hat, some quick exnations, and the protagonist seeded in recing Zou Ming to stay beside the other male leads.


    What a deep love¡­ But clearly, there¡¯s no love between them now. Why would Kang Run still want to help the protagonist? After thinking about it, there¡¯s only one exnation¡ªZou Lan has something in his hands that Kang Run cares about, or he has ckmail. When he thought about this, he went to investigate it a bit and found out about Kang Run¡¯s master who returned to the countryside with a new appearance after abandoning his life as an assassin.


    Assassins also have weaknesses.


    Kang Run looked at him in shock, not understanding how he got a hold of this portrait.


    ¡°You were useful as a bait,¡± Ye Zhizhou took out a <span>fire piston and burned the portrait. Afterwards, he turned to smile at Kang Run. ¡°This is your reward. The portrait has been destroyed, Zou Lan has no opportunity to speak about your master¡¯s existence now. You can safely go to prison.¡±


    Kang Run¡¯s eyes fluctuated through many emotions but they finally settled on relief. He lowered his head and said hoarsely, ¡°Thank you.¡± Going to prison or getting the death penalty is fine, as long as he saved his Master¡¯s peaceful life.


    [The probability of Kang Run and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fourth soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host. The task of this world has been aplished. Does Host wish to enter the next world?]


    He chose ¡®no¡¯ in his mind and looked towards Shen Tingwei who walked towards him. He rxed and let out a deep breath, ¡°Finally¡­ We can be at ease when we go to the border to find father.¡±


    Shen Tingwei hugged him and nodded.


    ¡°No!¡± Zou Lan held his ruined face and looked at them embracing each other. His gaze gradually became insane. ¡°I am Zou Ming! Kang Run, kill him for me! I¡¯m Zou Ming. I¡¯m the general¡¯s wife. It¡¯s me! It¡¯s me!¡±


    Shen Tingwei looked at him coldly while hugging Ye Zhizhou to keep him from moving and murmured, ¡°Even if I was blind I would recognize Mingming the second he appears. Zou Lan, is your goal in life to have a group of rtives and loved ones who don¡¯t even recognize your true appearance? Will they love you, or will they love the illusions in their minds? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t kill you. I have a cell prepared for you in the deepest part of the prison.¡±


    Zou Lan was stunned by his words and then screamed even more frantically. A guard came forward with a dark face, knocked him out directly and then dragged him away.


    Ye Zhizhou leaned against his lover¡¯s arms and his spiritual power gradually became soothing and calm. This world is so tiring¡­ Fortunately, he¡¯s always been apanied by his lover.


    Atst, after half a year, the murderer in the Huzhou massacre case was finally caught. Emperor Zhu Bi waved his hand and sentenced him to life imprisonment. He was subjected to torture every day until he died. Kang Run was also sentenced to prison after his assassin abilities were disposed of. Seeing that he made contributions to the court in the past six months, the death penalty was forgone but it was still necessary for him to go to prison for more than ten years.


    Three yearster, Fei Jinchu married the young miss from the family of a long-time friend; five yearster, Yang Qi became the highest scoring schr on the imperial exams and became the princess¡¯ husband; seven yearster, Old Madam Shen passed away; eight yearster, the border waspletely stabilized and Shen Youpeng returned to the Shen mansion for his retirement; ten yearster, Zou Qing resigned and handed over the Zou family¡¯s responsibilities to his eldest son and started a leisurely retirement life with Yuan Hui.


    Decadester, Ye Zhizhou leaned into his lover¡¯s embrace and gradually closed his eyes. ¡°In the next life, wait for me¡­¡±


    Shen Tingwei stroked his already white hair, tightened his embrace and nodded, ¡°Okay.¡±


    The mirror under the pillow suddenly shook and then shattered into fragments of light, disappearing into the air.


    The sunshine felt like it passed through his eyelids and shone directly onto his eyeballs. Ye Zhizhou frowned bitterly and struggled to open his eyes. He felt dizzy and heavy, the world seemed to be spinning around. He tried to make use of his arms as he swallowed with his dry throat and struggled to utter, ¡°Tongtian¡­¡±


    There was a slight vibration in the pile of wine bottles next to him, and then a beam of light appeared next to his mouth with a pill inside of it.


    ¡°Thanks,¡± he swallowed the pill and gradually began to feel a lot better. He stood up and looked around the empty room he was located in. He poked around the wine bottle pile, looked at his flowery shirt and then covered his forehead to massage it. ¡°A drunkard with a bad taste in clothing. I can almost see the words cannon fodder on him¡­ Okay, give me the plot information.¡±


    The wine bottle heap shook again, and then a light screen popped up. [Save me.]


    ¡°Eh? Save you?¡± He was startled and then move sideways to push aside the wine bottles, bing silent. A little white cat was staring up at him with big eyes while biting a pink cat-shaped mirror on the carpet. The sharp canine teeth tore at the false ears of the small mirror very actively.


    ¡°Meow~¡± The kitten gave a milky cry and suddenly dropped the mirror toe over to rub against him.


    Ye Zhizhou had no resistance to this kind of small creature. He raised his hand to rub its soft fur and smiled. ¡°This is a good greeting gift, I like it.¡±


    The small mirror shook vigorously. It seemed to be very dissatisfied with his neglect.


    ¡°Well, I like you too.¡± He picked up the small mirror with amusement and touched its wet ears. ¡°Give me the information.¡±


    The protagonist of this world was Fan Lang, a 21-year-old male. He was a rich second generation that loved beautiful women and drag racing. He has two friends that were also rich second generation named Zhang Lin and Cao Yu. One day, he took his two young friends to the countrysidete at night to street race, and there he had a bad ident that made him be a vegetable.


    After he became a vegetable, his soul involuntarily drifted and drifted until it unexpectedly went into Shen Mengxi¡¯s body, the Shen family¡¯s illegitimate daughter who was hospitalized with a high fever downstairs and set up a camp there. When Fan Lang woke up, he was horrified to find that he had be a woman!


    Ye Zhizhou grabbed Tongtian''s fake ears and pulled at them,pletely silent, ¡°Male to female? Are you kidding me? Can¡¯t the protagonists of these worlds be normal? Is it that hard to be an ordinary person?"


    The little mirror yed dead as the information on the screen was still pouring out.


    He gloomily restrained his roasting to continue reading on.


    What does a man do when he bes a woman? Of course, he first has to give his brothers some pleasure, ah! So Fan Lang found his two friends and exined the situation, wanting to give them some pleasure¡­ no that¡¯s not right. It¡¯s to have them help him find ways to bring his soul back into his body!


    Zhang Lin and Cao Yu were shocked by this unscientific matter, but the secrets spoken by this unruly woman in front of them were truly only known by their good friend Fan Lang. After some confusion, they believed the protagonist¡¯s words and began to help him find some methods. However, it would be strange if these three rich second generation idiots could think of a method. After all kinds of tosses and turns, Fan Lang¡¯s soul didn¡¯t change back. Zhang Lin and Cao Yu were gradually attracted to their good friend in a woman¡¯s body and unconsciously fell in love with him! Then, the twopanions became this world¡¯s male lead number one and two.


    Ye Zhizhou: ¡°¡­¡± The plot of this unruly world changes so fast.


    The soul needs to be changed back but the days also need to be passed. During the period of time where he was dealing with the troubles with his friends, Fan Lang also began to y the Shen family¡¯s illegitimate daughter. In the Shen family, his special ¡°temperament¡± gradually attracted the attention of Shen Zixia, the third male lead, and Su Yu, the fourth male lead who was Shen Zixia¡¯s cousin. Cen Yuebai, the fifth male lead and the male god of the school, was also attracted to his special ¡°temperament¡±.


    Ye Zhizhou silently roasted them. This good ¡°special temperament¡± was actually the vor of a rough man.


    During the period of trying to switch his soul back, Fan Lang often went to the hospital to see his body. There, he met male lead number six, the doctor Yin Feiyu, and made a good impression on him.


    So far, all six male leads were gathered but Fan Lang¡¯s soul was still firmly in the body of Shen Mengxi.


    As time went by, the male leads'' affection for the protagonist continued to deepen. This caused Shen Zihao, the young master of the Shen family, who was secretly in love with the male god Cen Yuebai, to be more gloomy. Having to repress his sexual orientation, the gradual softening of his family¡¯s attitude towards this illegitimate daughter, the sudden biased behavior of his eldest brother and the sense of crisis of having the person he liked being taken away¡­ With all these kinds of negative emotions adding together, Shen Zihao, who already had an entric disposition, became even more twisted. Finally, after seeing Cen Yuebai embrace his illegitimate sister in front of him, he started to have murderous thoughts.


    The protagonist, who didn¡¯t know about this, gradually started to realize the feelings that the several male leads had towards him. In a bind, he decided to ask them all out and tell them the truth that he was actually a man.


    Several handsome male gods gathered at the school gate of Shen Mengxi¡¯s school on a beautiful sunny afternoon; they attracted countless gazes. Fan Lang, who was still in Shen Mingxi¡¯s body, walked out in a white dress and looked as beautiful as a <span>rainbow cloud on the horizon. It was like a slow-motion scene of a prince meeting the princess, but a wanderer suddenly rushed out of the corner and stabbed the protagonist a few times. The white dress became stained with blood, and the protagonist fell to the ground.


    The male leads, who were previously sizing each other up, were shocked and quickly rushed forwards to surround the protagonist, but it was toote and the protagonist was going to die. As Fan Lang vomited blood, he told them the truth with affection. Then, he sighed that if he could live, he would ept all the male leads and give them a great deal of pleasure!


    The male leads had no time to feel shocked before they had to feel the pain of losing their person of affection. Then, the pain turned into anger. They first tormented the main offender, the wanderer and the person behind the scenes, Shen Zihao, before stuffing him into prison.


    Five yearster, Fan Lang woke up in his own body and was surprised to find that all the male leads had epted the truth that he was a man and were still waiting for him. He was very touched and got together with them.


    Turning off the screen, Ye Zhizhou pet the cat and gazed up at the ceiling.


    ¡°Tongtian¡­ The body I¡¯m in right now is called Shen Zihao, right?¡±


    [The answer is correct, the host is so intelligent. Friendly reminder: The cat in your arms is stolen.]


    ¡°Ah? Stolen from who?"


    [Cen Yuebai.]


    [The host is advised to dispose of it as soon as possible.]


    He squinted at it as if saying that he had seen through everything. ¡°You¡¯re just jealous that it¡¯s a real cat and that you¡¯re a fake, aren¡¯t you?¡±


    The little mirror stopped shaking and started bouncing on the floor instead, a kind of awkward bounce as if it wanted to break itself.<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Junshi, Love to Procrastinate, Potato Lord for thendmines! Love you so much = 3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: New arc ~\\(¨R¨Œ¨Q)/~</strong>


    <strong>PS: <span>Color cat is unexpectedly a censored word¡­.</strong>


    New arc! This plot already sounds crazy¡­ and that cat that was stolen

 Chapter 83

    After appeasing the sulking Tongtian, he opened the system information again to look at the circumstances of the world¡¯s destruction.


    After the protagonist and the six male leads got together, the families of the seven people exploded and began to put extreme pressure on them. The protagonist was the first to break from his family''s pressure and left the male leads behind to run abroad and hide. This hiding actually led him into an affair! A beautiful foreign girl surprisingly took a fancy to him! It should be known that the protagonist was originally straight, very straight¡­ Although he deeply loves the male leads in his heart, his **** was still in the period of adaptation, so¡­ he ended up rolling in the sheets with the beautiful girl.


    As the saying goes, if you don¡¯t look for death then you won¡¯t die. The male leads, who were chasing after him, found out about this affair and were shocked and devastated. Afterwards, they unexpectedly decided to not fight amongst themselves and joined forces to lock up the protagonist, going straight into a little ck room. The protagonist felt pain, regret, and guilt but then felt anger, resentment, and indignation. Why was he the one on the bottom? Why should he be controlled by them? Wasn¡¯t this group of men so madly in love with him that they were even fine with sharing? So why was it that when he used his front parts to do something he loved to do, the men all exploded?


    It definitely wasn¡¯t true love! You guys only love the body of Shen Mengxi! Thus the protagonist said fuck it!


    The male leads, whose sincere feelings were being doubted, felt that the five years they waited for was fed to the dogs. They hardened their hearts and gave him an upgraded version of the little ck room. The protagonist was terrified and surrendered, promising that he would never make the same mistake again and that he would stay with the male leads forever and never stray. The male leads also felt guilty¡­ Their lover used to be such a lively and cheerful person, yet he was terrified by them into this state. So they released the protagonist¡­ And the protagonist turned his head and went to find the pretty foreign girl, saying that he wanted to elope with her! The girl was so angry that she pped him and left after calling him a cheating gay man who yed with her feelings.


    The protagonist was stunned and the male leads, who had just softened, hardened their hearts again and locked him back in the little ck room!


    Over the next few decades, the previous scenarios were repeated in different ways and different ces. The protagonist¡¯s legs were spread and spread. The male leads ckened and ckened, but they didn¡¯t leave the protagonist no matter what. Finally, the protagonist courted death and fell into the bed of an unspeakable big shot¡¯s wife¡­ This time, the male leads couldn¡¯t deal with the aftermath, so they gave up all hope for the protagonist. They thought it would also be good for the protagonist to be taught a lesson for once, so maybe, he¡¯ll learn to be well-behaved from this experience.


    The protagonist was indeed taught a lesson, but he didn¡¯t be well-behaved. Instead, he hated the male leads to the point of not caring about them anymore and also hated the big shot, so¡­ He slept with all of the big shot¡¯s sons and daughters!


    This time he really poked the ho¡¯s nest. The big shot wasn¡¯t someone easy to deal with, the big shot¡¯s sons and daughters were also people that weren''t easy to deal with and the big shot¡¯s wife is definitely not easy to deal with!


    ¡­ Then the protagonist was directly killed by the big shot''s family.


    The male leads, who weren¡¯t young anymore, expressed that their lover who liked to toss around ended up tossing himself to death. Although their lover was very hateful, they were together for many decades in the end and their feelings were already very deep. Since the big shot killed him, as a gesture of them being together for so long, they¡¯ll get revenge for his death.


    And so, the two sides fought fiercely until the end of their lives. This unspeakable hatred also spread to their families. The families kept fighting like this and after more than a decade, they finally started to fight outside the country! About a hundred yearster, the bigger and better families somehow went too far and turned the global economy into a deep pool of filth, somethingpletely unable to be looked at!


    When the economic crisis erupted, the people of the world said that if they didn¡¯t have enough to eat, they would rebel. And so, they rebelled, war broke out, spread and then the world ended.


    Ye Zhizhou was so shocked by this plot that he was unable to close his gaping mouth. Confusion filled his mind, the plot was truly unexpected. It wasn''t a sweet and lovey-dovey ending after they got together, but rather it turned into a drama about a scum shou and cheap gongs being tossed around.


    ¡°Meow~¡± The little white cat nibbled his finger and looked at him with moist eyes. Ye Zhizhou recovered from his shock and couldn¡¯t resist rubbing his hand along the cat. The small mirror, who refused to be outdone after seeing this, moved its fake ears, turned the white screen into a rainbow and then covered it with stars.


    He''s getting blinded¡­


    He turned off the light screen and held the cat in one hand and the small mirror in the other whilementing his life. Based on the protagonist¡¯s temperament¡­ He felt like he didn¡¯t even need to do anything for the love probability to go down. He just has to make sure to not let the protagonist die in front of the male leads, just to have the protagonist get back to his body quickly! It should be known that the protagonist and the male leads in this world were originally straight! How could straight men be bent so easily?!


    As if a small light bulb lit up above his head, he got up with a joyful smile and felt that the task of this world was super easy!


    [Again, a friendly reminder: Asking the host to determine the timeline of the plot.]


    <span>Was there something wrong with the timeline? He doubtfully opened the system information, analyzed the plot¡¯s timeline, and the joy on his face was reced by shock. ¡°The wanderer hired by the former owner is going to kill the protagonist today?!¡±


    <span>¡°Meow~¡± The cat in his arms gave a milky cry.


    The false ears of the small mirror moved and a rainbow-colored screen popped up. [Meow.]


    Stop meowing! Someone''s about to die!


    He turned around and rushed out of the door. He searched for the location of Shen Mengxi¡¯s school in the system information with one hand and took out his phone to call the brother of this body, Shen Zixia, on the other.


    ¡°Sorry, the number you dialed does not exist.¡±


    Fuck! How much did the brother of the original owner hate him! The number doesn¡¯t exist his sister! This is definitely caused by being on the cklist! He quickly found Shen Mengxi¡¯s phone number and called it, but it turns out the phone was turned off!


    What the hell is going on with these people?


    He called Cen Yuebai and got to his voicemail. He called Su Yu and a ssmate answered saying that Su Yu didn¡¯t bring his cell phone. With thest glimmer of hope, he called the original owner¡¯s mother, hoping that she could make an indirect rescue. This time, the call actually connected, but before he could say anything his phone ran out of battery and died.


    "Fuck!"


    The cat nestled in his arms licked its nose and opened its mouth. "Meow~"


    He rubbed his face feeling like he was going to fall apart. This group of men fell in love with the protagonist starting from his death. The starting point of this plot timeline is just too close!


    Suddenly, he remembered that there was a cool sports car under the original owner¡¯s name. He quickly turned back and rummaged around to find the car keys. Then, he rushed to the garage, got into the car, started it and charged towards Shen Mengxi¡¯s school.


    On a sunny afternoon, six handsome men with their own special characteristics gathered at the entrance of the ¡®female¡¯ lead¡¯s school, sizing each other up. The atmosphere was not good. The studentsing in and out of the ssrooms gradually stopped. Candid pictures were being taken, discussions were happening and there were even people with the desire to foolishly go ask for phone numbers. There was also a heated debate about CP, overall, it was lots of noisy chattering. At a corner not far from the gate, a wanderer stared at the direction of the gate with a twisted grin as he looked at the note in his hand.


    Fan Lang walked towards the gate with a bitter face. His heart was in a tangle¡­ Six outstanding men have fallen in love with him, s¡­ if only they were six beauties, it would be fine. He wondered if the six would continue to like him after he told them the truth. Actually, the feeling of being taken care of by them was pretty nice¡­


    The front gate was already in sight. A gentle breeze blew, making her (his) long skirt and dark ck hair flutter. She (he) lifted her (his) slender hand, covered her (his) mouth with trembling eyshes¡­ and let out a big sneeze¡­ with a snot bubble.


    The male leads, who were looking from afar, tactfully looked away. The onlookers who were ready to see the fantastic fairy tale image withdrew their gazes, looked at the sky and all around, hoping to forget that big sneeze they just saw which didn¡¯t fit the atmosphere.


    The princess (male) finally walked up to the princes. She (he) took out a tissue, rubbed her dripping nose and nced at the male leads with red lips opened slightly. ¡°I¡­¡±


    The sound of sudden car brakes covered her (his) words, and the crowd turned their heads in anger, but fell into a dreamy state again¡ªwhat the heck, another handsome guy who drove a sports car! Today¡¯s plot wasn¡¯t six handsome guys and a sister, but seven handsome princes and a snot princess.


    Ye Zhizhou got out of the car under the expectant gaze of the crowd. He rushed towards the gate with the cat in his arms and looked straight at the soft girl with long hair who was being blocked by the male leads. Still alive¡­ He breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, turned his head around and began to look for the wanderer hiding nearby.


    ¡°What are you doing here? Are you going to bully Mengxi again?" The first one to jump out was Shen Zixia, the cold loyal dog. He moved forward, stopped in front of Ye Zhizhou and said in a heavy tone, ¡°Stop embarrassing yourself here, go back!¡±


    The one who jumped out next was the sunny, cute boy, Su Yu, ¡°Zihao, just stop messing around okay? Everyone is a family. Why do we need to hate each other and cause such an unsightly ruckus?¡±


    Afterwards, the one who came out was the cold-hearted and cold-faced beauty, Cen Yuebai. He sized Ye Zhizhou up and then fixed his gaze on what was in his arms. ¡°Why do you have my cat?¡±


    ¡°Ah? Oh, I¡¯m here to return your cat.¡± Ye Zhizhou carelessly stepped forward and stuffed the cat into Cen Yuebai¡¯s arms, ignoring Shen Zixia and Su Yu while continuously looking around.


    Cen Yuebai moved forward and pushed Shen Zixia aside, who was standing in front of him. He looked at Ye Zhizhou directly. ¡°I feel like I¡¯ve seen you before.¡±


    The original owner had stalked you for more than a month, it¡¯s amazing that you didn¡¯t see him. Ye Zhizhou pushed him aside and anxiously searched for traces of the wanderer.


    Cen Yuebai blocked him again. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡±


    Fan Lang was bbergasted but took a step forward and weakly reminded them, ¡°Umm¡­ it looked like you guys came here to find me. I have something to say¡­ hey, pay attention to me.¡±


    Hearing him call out, Zhang Lin and Cao Yu quickly went to his side but was avoided and pushed aside by Fan Lang. Yin Feiyu stood on the sidelines and watched with his reflective sses blocking his eyes, making it impossible for people to see what he was thinking.


    Shen Zixia was enraged by Ye Zhizhou¡¯s attitude and went towards him with a dark face, looking like he wanted to physically drive him away.


    Suddenly, a dark shadow shed behind several big trees near the gate. Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes brightened and he quickly pushed aside Cen Yuebai, who had moved in front of him again, while yelling, ¡°That brother, you¡ªbe careful!¡±


    His body moved faster than his brain and his spiritual power spread out wildly. He rushed a few steps forward to push the protagonist and Zhang Lin, who was beside the protagonist, aside. As he was just about to sidestep and escape the long knife pulled out by the wanderer, his shoulder was suddenly pressed down by a big hand and his movement was involuntarily stopped. Due to this, the knife stabbed into his body and blood began to gush out immediately. He stared at his abdomen with wide eyes and turned around, while feeling the pain gradually increase, to look at the man who had caught him. He pointed angrily. ¡°You¡­ you¡­¡± Pig teammate.


    Shen Zixia, who was ready to teach his younger brother a lesson, loosened his grip in shock. He watched as Ye Zhizhou fell softly to the ground, the knife still embedded in his abdomen trembling slightly. Shen Zixia watched him bleed all over the ground and couldn¡¯t help stepping back. ¡°Zihao¡­¡±


    ¡°Ah¡ª!!!¡±


    The crowd became restless, full of screams and yells that pierced people¡¯s ears. The wanderer took advantage of the crowd¡¯s panic and quickly flew into the shadows of the trees, effectively disappearing.


    Fan Lang happened to fall into Yin Feiyu¡¯s arms when he was pushed aside. He looked back at the spot that he was just standing at and couldn¡¯t help eximing, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡±


    Yin Feiyu pushed him away and quickly stepped forward to move the stunned Shen Zixia and the panicked Su Yu aside. He squatted down to look at Ye Zhizhou¡¯s wound and shouted, ¡°Call an ambnce! Quickly! Disperse the crowd!¡±


    ¡°Meow~¡± A white cat suddenly ran over and rubbed against Ye Zhizhou¡¯s cheek, gently arching against him while making small, frantic cries.


    ¡°Why is there a cat here?! Take it away, quickly!¡± Yin Feiyu¡¯s eyebrows were deeply scrunched. He lowered his head and carefully tore open Ye Zhizhou¡¯s t-shirt. He looked at the position where the knife was stabbed in and his eyes became grave.


    A pair of slender white hands reached over and picked the cat up. A cold voice sounded over Yin Feiyu¡¯s head. ¡°Is he going to be okay?¡±


    Yin Feiyu concentrated on the wound and ignored the question.


    The dizziness and numbness brought on by the blood loss paralyzed his body. His clear consciousness was gradually fading. Ye Zhizhou tried hard to keep his eyes open and turned his gaze to look for the protagonist¡¯s figure, trying to determine if he was safe or not. The most innocent person in this world¡¯s story was Shen Mengxi, who was deprived of her body for some inexplicable reason. He didn''t want the girl¡¯s body to die like this. Maybe¡­ maybe the soul that was pushed away by the protagonist cane back again.


    ¡°What are you looking for?¡±


    Who¡¯s speaking?


    The familiar, aggressive spiritual power suddenly surrounded him little by little, allowing his consciousness to be clear for a moment before it became blurred again. His fingers moved unconsciously. Was it¡­ his lover? What¡¯s his identity in this life?


    ¡°I won''t allow you to die.¡±


    There¡¯s no way for him to die with Tongtian. He wanted tough but slowly closed his eyes instead.


    [The probability of Cen Yuebai and the protagonist falling in love have dropped to 0%. The first soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Whose¡­ g?


    The sound of the ambnce arriving could be heard. He rxed his body and let his consciousness fall into the darkness.<hr>

 Chapter 84

    The first thing Ye Zhizhou felt when he woke up was pain. Very strong pain. With a wrinkled face, he opened his eyes and saw the person next to his bed as his sight became gradually clearer. He closed his eyes immediately, showing that he didn¡¯t want to see Shen Zixia, this pig teammate.


    ¡°You awake?¡± Shen Zixia leaned forward and pressed the call button at the head of the bed. He bent down to help him pull his nket up and whispered, ¡°Zihao, I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes again, enduring the pain of speaking with a dry throat, and said hoarsely, ¡°Brother¡­ I¡¯vee to realize that I call you brother but Mengxi also calls you brother. Although the fact that she has a different mother from us is not her fault¡­ Brother¡­ She¡¯s still your sister¡­¡± Anyone with a little bit of conscience wouldn¡¯t have thoughts about their sister. Male lead, quickly wake up!


    Shen Zixia, who was in the middle of getting up to pour some water for Ye Zhizhou, froze. His facial muscles twitched but he didn¡¯t speak.


    ¡°It was wrong of me to bully Mengxi before, but I thought it was she who seduced you¡­¡± In addition to stealing Shen Zihao¡¯s secret person of affection, this was indeed one of the reasons why the original ownerter bullied Shen Mengxi. Before Fan Lang upied Shen Mengxi¡¯s body, the original owner¡¯s behavior towards Shen Mengxi wasn¡¯t bad. Although he was somewhat entric, he wasn¡¯t some kind of perverted viin who liked to bully people. His interactions with Shen Mengxi couldn¡¯t be regarded as warm, but it was much better than Shen Zixia, who had been ignoring this half-sister of his.


    ¡°She didn¡¯t.¡± Shen Zixia finally opened his mouth and looked at his younger brother with his customary reproachful eyes, but stiffened for a moment after seeing his pale face. He rubbed his face and sighed, ¡°Was I¡­ that obvious? When did you figure it out?¡±


    ¡°Very early on.¡± Ye Zhizhou rummaged through the original owner¡¯s memory, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zixia seriously before continuing, ¡°Brother, don¡¯t let mom and dad feel sad and don¡¯t make things awkward for Mengxi. Brother¡­ you know this isn''t right. She¡¯s Mengxi, not sister Lian Xue.¡± Lian Xue was Shen Zixia¡¯s first love. She died in a car ident a few years ago and her personality as rather¡­ rough, simr to Fan Lang¡¯s version of Shen Mengxi. Shen Zixia first noticed Fan Lang¡¯s version of Shen Mengxi because of this simrity, and then she died in front of him. This simr experience finally plunged Shen Zixia into a deep depression.


    Shen Zixia tightened the hand that was holding the cup of water, suddenly took a deep breath, and turned away from Ye Zhizhou¡¯s gaze.


    [The probability of Shen Zixia and the protagonist falling in love have dropped to 70%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    It seems like he poked a sore spot. He endured the pain and swallowed some saliva as he continued to speak, ¡°Brother, you''re using Mengxi as a substitute. Isn¡¯t this deceiving her? And sister Lian Xue, if she knew you¡­ Wouldn¡¯t she really hate you?¡±


    ¡°Stop talking!¡± Shen Zixia turned around and interrupted him, his eyes dim and full of pain. A rare air of depression could be seen floating around him. ¡°Don¡¯t say anymore¡­ I understand what you mean.¡±


    [The probability of Shen Zixia and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    ¡°I was confused.¡± He quickly changed his mood and put a straw into the cup of warm water before giving it to Ye Zhizhou. He dropped his gaze as he said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. You¡¯re a good brother, but I¡­ am not a good brother. I won¡¯t anymore¡­ never again.¡±


    [The probability of Shen Zixia and protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    He was able to make Shen Zixia realize it, the knife he took wasn¡¯t in vain! His throat was dry as though he was irritated by smoke so he hurried to drink a mouthful of water, moistening his throat. He added, ¡°Brother, I just want to have a stable family and have everyone be well. You¡¯re not going to destroy this family, right?¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yes. ¡± Shen Zixia was put into a difficult situation with the expectant look in Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes so he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, only a firm resolve could be seen. He lifted his hand and clumsily stroked his hair as he seriously said, ¡°Zihao, I¡¯m sorry. Thank you.¡±


    [The probability of Shen Zixia and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 20%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    The doctor and nurse finally arrived so the conversation between the two ended tacitly. After the examination, Ye Zhizhou felt tired again and fell asleep. He didn¡¯t know that someone came by and silently sat at his bedside for a long time.


    Su Yu came to see Ye Zhizhou after he finished his sses. As a result, he was directly pulled to the hospital roof by Shen Zixia, who was waiting at the door.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Su Yu switched the hand that was carrying the fruit basket and anxiously asked, ¡°What happened to Zihao? Did he wake up?¡±


    ¡°He woke up.¡± Shen Zixia lit up a cigarette and took a puff. He narrowed his eyes at a building in the distance. ¡°Xiao Yu, forget about it.¡±


    <span>Su Yu was confused. ¡°Forget about what?¡±


    <span>¡°I give up.¡± Shen Zixia turned his head to look at Su Yu, raising a hand to pat him on the shoulder. ¡°I won¡¯t travel down the wrong road anymore. You don¡¯t have to intentionally approach Mengxi to draw me out. I know you don¡¯t like her.¡±


    ¡°Y-you, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.¡± Su Yu looked away to avoid his eyes with an evasive gaze.


    ¡°That year, when my mother made a terrible scene about Mengxi entering the Shen family, auntie also apanied her. I remember that you were also affected and thus began to hate Mengxi. You also pushed her once, which almost let her fall onto a rock and hit her head.¡± Thinking of the past, a faint smile bloomed on his lips but it soon went away. ¡°You used to hate her so much, but now you suddenly became so concerned about her and even fighting with me for her¡­ before I was too obsessed and didn¡¯t see any problem with it. Now¡­ you and Zihao are good brothers. I thank you.¡±


    ¡°A-ah, I didn¡¯t really hate her that much¡­¡± Su Yu felt a little guilty after hearing his words. ¡°In fact, I also know that I did too much when I was a child, not all of it was for you¡­ I wanted to apologize to her but I was embarrassed, so I just wanted to treat her a little better. Although, she changed a bitpared to how she was when she was younger¡­¡±


    ¡°Yes, she really has be different.¡± Shen Zixia then sighed, holding the cigarette in his hand but not smoking anymore. He let it burn out bit by bit until his finger was almost burned, before stubbing it out. ¡°Everyone should wake up, our family is more important.¡± After saying this, he patted Su Yu on the shoulder and then turned to leave.


    Su Yu turned his head to look at him with a somewhatplicated gaze and then scratched his head in distress. ¡°She really is different from when she was a kid. When she was younger, the moment she was bullied, she cried and was soft and adorable. Now, she has such a bad temper¡­¡± Why do people change so suddenly? Can¡¯t they just stay like how they were when they were younger¡­


    [The probability of Su Yu and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou was woken up by the light screen. After a confused nce at it, he turned it off and groaned. The problem with getting stabbed was that it¡¯s really painful and to not let the doctors be suspicious, he couldn¡¯t eat any pills. His onlyfort after almost sacrificing himself was that the love probability of the male leads fell quickly.


    "Is it very painful?"


    It was only then that he realized that there was someone next to his bed. Turning his head to the side to look, he saw Yin Feiyu standing there holding a record chart. Ye Zhizhou smiled andughed, ¡°It¡¯s Dr.Yin. Say, when can I be discharged from the hospital?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Yin Feiyu didn¡¯t look at him. He lowered his head, took out a pen and jotted something down on the record chart. He said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re not my patient.¡±


    Then why are you running over here to write and scribble¡­ Ye Zhizhou was speechless for once and didn¡¯t know what else to say. After reading the plot information, Yin Feiyu was the person he didn''t understand the most. This person¡¯s feelings for the protagonist appeared especially suddenly. One second, he was a passer-by doctor and the next he was approaching the protagonist, doing all kinds of things to be friendly with him which made it difficult for people to clearly see his feelings. After the protagonist died in the body of Shen Mengxi, he was also the first one to run and guard the protagonist¡¯s real body, taking care of him meticulously every day until he woke up. It¡¯s reasonable to say that he should be very affectionate to the protagonist, right? But this man was the least jealous person amongst the several male leads, aside from Cen Yuebai! Even if the protagonist was caught in an affair in front of him 10,000 times, he can still calmly continue to go perform surgeries!


    ¡°You found out.¡±


    "What?"


    ¡°About your sister, Shen Mengxi.¡± Yin Feiyu¡¯s sses shed with a cold light and he finally stopped the hand that was sketching. ¡°Can science exin an unscientific matter? You and your sister are interesting.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heart skipped a beat and he felt a chill down his neck. ¡°Dr. Yin, I don¡¯t quite understand what you mean. Eh, my sister is really cute¡­ Haha¡­¡±


    ¡°I like dealing with intelligent people.¡± Yin Feiyu put away the record chart and tucked the pen back into his white coat pocket before lowering his eyes to look at him. ¡°I think you¡¯re an intelligent person, but you¡¯re trying to y dumb with me now. It doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ll figure it out. I think your sister¡¯s upgraded version is a bit stupid, in contrast, I feel that you¡¯re more suitable.¡±


    Suitable for what? What does ''upgraded version'' mean? This person couldn¡¯t have found out that his soul and Shen Mengxi¡¯s soul have changed, right? B-but how on earth did he find out? Shen Mengxi, that¡¯s easy to understand. However, Shen Zihao, the original owner, has never seen Yin Feiyu before so there shouldn¡¯t be any chances of him recognizing the original¡¯s personality.


    ¡°I like your expression right now, it shows that you¡¯re thinking.¡± Yin Feiyu suddenly leaned closer to him, looking at him carefully for a while before straightening up again. ¡°You have your memory, but she doesn¡¯t. As expected, you¡¯re more suitable.¡±


    [The probability of Yin Feiyu and the protagonist falling in love has been reduced to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Why was it directly halved! The love probability falling in this kind of situation at this time really doesn¡¯t make him happy! Can it go back up?! His back is already feeling chills!


    ¡°Be at ease. I like to observe with my eyes, not using a knife." Yin Feiyu, as if he read his mind, quickly saw through his thoughts. He raised his hand and lightly tapped on his temple and said, ¡°Don¡¯t stop thinking. You must survive. You¡¯re my best specimen.¡± After saying this, he turned around and walked away slowly.


    Ye Zhizhou finally let out the breath that he was holding, feeling that the wound felt more painful.


    [The probability of Yin Feiyu and the protagonist falling in love has been reduced to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Sure enough, he let out this breath too early!


    Afterwards, Shen Zihao¡¯s mother and father came to the hospital. They sat down for a bit and then hurried away. Suddenly, Ye Zhizhou felt pity for the original owner. His parents were busy and didn¡¯t care about him at all. His brother ignored him at first, then started to hate him. Then, the half-sister he hated at first but then epted was taken over by another person¡¯s soul. Adding in his constantly suppressed feelings¡­ it¡¯s no wonder that the original owner¡¯s nature was distorted like that.


    The police officer came by and asked about the wanderer. Ye Zhizhou thought about it and chose to confess that the wanderer was hired by the original owner. For this kind of thing, it¡¯s best to say it now, otherwise, if it was discovered by Shen Zixiater, the love probability that had fallen might even rise.


    Shen Zixia was shocked when he learned the truth. He directly looked at Ye Zhizhou for a moment, suddenly got up and paced irritably around the room several times before sitting down beside the bed. He said calmly, ¡°Zihao, in the future, if you encounter such an issue, don¡¯t use such extreme methods. I didn¡¯t expect that you would be stimted like this by my mistake. It¡¯s good that you were able to stop your mistake in time, and I¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± Apart from apologizing, he didn¡¯t know what else to say. His brother almost killed his sister because of him.


    He thought about his brother¡¯s previous words about wanting a stable home and then about his parents who appeared in a hurry and left quickly. He had a trace of helplessness and gloom in his eyes. ¡°Zihao, I will sort out my emotions.¡±


    [The probability of Shen Zixia and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The second soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou, with a serious and solemn face, was preparing to put on a remorse y but became shocked. The soul g was pulled out just like that? Wait, the second g?! The blurred memory from before he fainted suddenly became clear. He suddenly raised his upper body wanting to sit up but identally opened the wound and fell back down in a sorry state. The pain caused him to suck in a few gasps.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Shen Zixia quickly pressed down on his shoulder, frowning as he pressed the call button. He looked at Ye Zhizhou carefully and said earnestly, ¡°Zihao, what I said is true, I promise! You¡¯re going to be okay. I¡¯ll handle the wanderer business, don¡¯t worry.¡±


    That''s not the point!


    He stopped himself from thinking about asking Tongtian for pills and then asked eagerly, ¡°Did anyone approach me yesterday after I was injured and talk to me?¡± That spiritual power, that familiar voice, and the g that was pulled out directly! His lover was one of the several male leads this time! Yin Feiyu¡¯s g was still there and is directly excluded. Shen Zixia and Su Yu are not it, which left Zhang Lin, Cao Yu, Cen Yuebai¡­ Wait, Cen Yuebai!


    Shen Zixia was stunned by his questions and knit his brows as he thought about it before shaking his head. ¡°I only noticed that Dr. Yin rushed to your side and then the ambnce came.¡± Besides, he was stunned stupid at that time and absolutely wasn¡¯t paying attention to the situation around him.


    ¡°What about Cen Yuebai? Did hee to see me?¡± He grabbed Shen Zixia¡¯s hand. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the voice he heard before fainting was Cen Yuebai. ¡°Where is he? He¡­ he¡­¡± It¡¯s hard to exin spiritual power and he can¡¯t mention the birthmark on his butt¡­ Also, at the time he was feeling anxious and the wound was painful, so he was unexpectedly caught by surprise.


    ¡°Why do you care so much if he came to see you?¡± Shen Zixia suddenly remembered that he previously heard some vague rumors before. He asked with a serious expression, ¡°Zihao¡­ do you¡­ do you like men?¡±


    He doesn¡¯t like men, he only likes his lover. Even if his lover was a dog he¡¯d still like him!


    The more anxious he was, the more painful the wound became. The nurse rushed over and saw his face was already white, so she immediately went up to him and opened his clothes to look at the wound. She scolded him with a fierce face, ¡°You¡¯re already injured and you¡¯re still not behaving. Now you¡¯re going to suffer for a few more days, I really can¡¯t understand you!¡± Then she looked to Shen Zixia who was still holding down Ye Zhizhou and her voice rose, ¡°How are you taking care of this patient? Still pressing him down like that, do you think his life is too long? Quickly let go, I¡¯ll call the doctor to give him stitches again.¡±


    Shen Zixia quickly released his grip when he heard her.


    Ye Zhizhou calmed down a bit after being scolded by the nurse. Suddenly, he felt pretty stupid to get so worked up earlier. He smiled awkwardly at Shen Zixia.


    ¡°You¡¯re so¡­¡± The serious expression that Shen Zixia had on his face was reced by helplessness. He patted Ye Zhizhou on the head and said, ¡°Why do you still misbehave like when you were a child¡­¡± After saying that he looked a bit distracted, and stared off into space like he was remembering something. Afterwards, he patted him gently with a trace of nostalgia and relief in his eyes. ¡°This kind of thing is good. If you like someone, go ahead and like them. Though, it seems like Cen Yuebai¡­ towards Mengxi¡­ forget it. You¡¯re fine.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked at him stupidly. The words ¡°it seems like Cen Yuebai¡­towards Mengxi¡± repeated in his brain. Suddenly, the information about Cen Yuebai in the plot information jumped out and became very clear, making his anger re-up.


    Yes, in this world, the identity of his lover was one of the male leads. One of the protagonist¡¯s harem members, and a person who has done this and that with the protagonist! ording to the current plot timeline, his lover already has good feelings for the protagonist! They even hugged right in front of the original Shen Zihao!


    Embracing¡­ actually embracing¡­ If he hadn¡¯t appeared, was his lover also ready to xxoo with the protagonist, huh!?


    Damn! Unforgivable! He must be castrated!


    ¡°Hey, is it really painful? Rx a bit. How can I sew your wound when you¡¯re so tense?¡± In his distraction, the doctor already rushed over and patted his pillow. He shook his head disapprovingly and sigh, ¡°Look at you young people nowadays. The doctor-patient rtionship too, really¡­ I¡¯m just sewing a wound for you. If you keep looking at me so hatefully, then be careful if my hand trembles.¡±


    He snapped out of thinking about the plot and took a deep breath to rx, turning away his angry gaze that carried a hint of murderous intent.


    Suddenly, the hospital room¡¯s door was pushed open. After a tender and soft cat meow, a slender figure appeared at the door who was followed by a small nurse.


    ¡°Pets are not permitted in the hospital! This gentleman, stop, stop!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou turned his head towards the door the moment he heard the cat¡¯s cry, and then met with Cen Yuebai¡¯s nk and ''nothing was wrong'' gaze. At that moment, he was sure of his lover¡¯s identity and the vinegar that he just pressed down once again erupted. He beat the bed angrily as he said, ¡°You <span>heart breaker! How dare you fall in love with someone else and two-time me! Break up! Divorce! I¡¯m done with you!¡±


    The kitten looked at him stupidly and with a small, trembling voice, let out a meow.


    Shen Zixia was also stunned.


    The doctor and the nurse werepletely stupefied.


    Cen Yuebai quickly took a few steps forward and grabbed the doctor¡¯s hands. Looking directly into the doctor¡¯s eyes he coldly said, ¡°Stop your hands from trembling, it¡¯ll hurt him.¡±


    There''s murderous intent!


    The doctor gulped nervously and nodded stiffly. He tried hard to concentrate his thoughts on the wound. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh with sorrow in his heart; the doctor-patient rtionship nowadays¡­ it¡¯s hard to be a doctor.<hr>

 Chapter 85

    The wound wasn¡¯t opened too badly, so it wasn¡¯t long before it was taken care of.


    After the doctor and nurse left, Cen Yuebai walked to his bedside as Ye Zhizhou stared at him. Cen Yuebai looked at him for three seconds before he leaned down to grasp his face in one hand while holding the cat with the other hand. Then, he lowered his head to meet Ye Zhizhou¡¯s lips, pausing for a second before licking his lips with the tip of his tongue. He got up expressionlessly, sat down beside him and extended his hand to lift Ye Zhizhou''s clothes.


    Shen Zixia took a deep breath, his heart feeling a bit stuffy.


    Ye Zhizhou wiped his lips and then crazily spat in contempt. He intercepted Cen Yuebai¡¯s extended hand and continued to release his anger. ¡°What are you doing? Why are you kissing me? Who permitted you? Why would I let an onion kiss me? And this hand of yours, weren¡¯t you using it to very happily hug pretty girls? Keep hugging them, don¡¯t touch me!¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t hug them.¡± When Cen Yubai held his hand he still had no expression on his face. He lowered his head and kissed the back of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand. ¡°I investigated, you''ve been secretly in love with me. Now, I have decided to love you. Would you like to get together with me?¡±


    Shen Zixia, who had juste to, felt his brain stop working.


    Ye Zhizhou was stunned for a moment before he took back his hand and wiped it on the sheets. His attitude softened just a little. ¡°Stop lying to me. Just a few days ago, at the entrance of Dusk Cafe, I saw it all!


    Cen Yuebai narrowed his eyes. ¡°You followed me?¡±


    <span>Dusk Cafe is a campus cafe within Cen Yuebai¡¯s and Shen Mengxi¡¯s university, which was very far from Shen Zihao¡¯s school. It¡¯s really difficult to just ¡°happen¡± to see it.


    ¡°I-I just saw it when I was looking for Mengxi.¡± Ye Zhizhou resolutely refused to admit that he stalked him. It was obviously done by the original owner and had nothing to do with him at all!


    Cen Yuebai quietly examined him carefully for a while before suddenly lowering his head and kissing the back of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand again. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. ¡°You''re really adorable.¡±


    Shen Zixia retreated two steps and leaned against the wall. Suddenly, his heart was feeling a calm before the storm. He nced at younger brother in the hospital bed, looking pale and in a terrible state, and thought deeply¡­ is Cen Yuebai blind?


    A cool, handsome guy calling you adorable with a straight face, this lethality¡­ Ye Zhizhou tried to move his grasped hand away involuntarily, his ears turning red and he stuttered, ¡°Don¡¯t change the topic! I clearly saw you guys hugging, don¡¯t try to deceive me!¡±


    The little cat that Cen Yuebai was holding cautiously poked her head out toward Ye Zhizhou, meowing twice at him. Ye Zhizhou looked at it and his angry expression started to fade. He strongly pulled the hand that Cen Yuebai was holding out of his grasp and reached out to pet her. ¡°You¡¯re here too? Were you scared yesterday?¡±


    ¡°Meow~¡± The little cat gently rubbed against his fingertips, her small ws moving as if she wanted to go over to him.


    Cen Yuebai slightly bent down and ced her on the bed. With his face unchanged, he said, ¡°I didn¡¯t hug her. She hugged me.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou became angry. ¡°Stop telling these careless lies! You might as well have said that it was your clone hugging her!"


    ¡°I don¡¯t have a clone.¡± Cen Yuebai took out a paper talisman and folded it several times. He mumbled a few words under his breath and then threw the paper talisman into the air while saying in a calm voice as if he was just discussing the weather, ¡°But this duplicating talisman is possible.¡±


    <span>The paper talisman spread out in the air and gradually became human-shaped. Afterwards, the human body was shrouded in a faint light that dissipated to show another ¡®Cen Yuebai¡¯ standing in the middle of the ward with a dull look.


    <span>Ye Zhizhou was dumbfounded.


    <span>This¡­. this mission world¡­ Ye Zhizhou hugged the cat that had leaped onto his chest and furiously poked at Tongtian in his mind. He asked urgently, ¡°Tongtian! What¡¯s this unscientific thing? Doesn¡¯t this mission world believe in science?¡±


    [The system has already given all the information.]


    But your information didn''t mention <span>dark arts!


    Shen Zixia was also shocked. He held back the urge to raise his hand to rub his eyes.


    A few secondster, the "Cen Yuebai" in the center of the room dissipated into smoke, leaving behind the smell of burnt paper.


    It was naive of him to think that the mission world would be typical while in difficult mode¡­ Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help tightening his hold on the cat in arms, who soothingly rubbed against him.


    Cen Yuebai looked down and reached out to take the cat out of his arms. He set her aside and said indifferently, ¡°I picked up your sister by chance.¡± Then, he took out a red paper talisman from his pocket and folded it slowly. ¡°She asked me to help her. I figured out that my fated marriage thread was within her family, so I agreed.¡±


    He cut his finger and let a drop of blood drip onto the folded paper talisman. He picked up the gauze used by the doctor while he was treating Ye Zhizhou¡¯s wound and took a little bit of blood from it. Then, rubbing the paper talisman with his fingers, he lit it on fire. He said with a cold tone, ¡°Later, I met your sister¡¯s body and found out that the soul that snatched your sister¡¯s body had traces of previously being moved. Thus, I temporarily put your sister¡¯s soul on my body because I wanted to return her soul to her physical body.¡±


    The red paper talisman¡¯s burning ashes were scarlet red. The ashes slowly condensed into a thin red thread that gradually fell onto Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand and gently wrapped his small fingers, one after another.


    ¡°More than one lifetime of fated marriage.¡± Cen Yuebai lips suddenly showed a small smile. He raised Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand and kissed his fingers while saying with a soft, tender tone, ¡°I like this result.¡± After he said this, he looked toward the meowing cat and lightly touched its forehead. ¡°Unfortunately, the returning magic failed so I had to think of something else.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou and Shen Zixia were already stunned silly by his words and the red thread. Their eyes first looked at the cat, then moved to gaze at the thread. Once they finished looking at the thread they moved their gaze onto Cen Yuebai¡¯s handsome face. Their brains moved crazily trying to digest the information. Finally, it was Ye Zhizhou, who had already experienced several big shocking situations in many different worlds, that took the lead in returning to his senses. He picked up the cat next to him and asked in surprise, ¡°Y-you¡¯re Shen Mengxi?¡±


    The cat blinked and then purred softly.


    ¡°Are you really are Shen Mengxi? The one who blew up the kitchen with the ori¡ªwith me?"


    The cat meowed again and then nodded her head.


    What the fuck¡­ He foolishly put down the cat and felt that his previous understanding of the mission world was a little too narrow. The original plot never mentioned what happened to Shen Mengxi¡¯s soul, nor did it mention Cen Yuebai¡¯s dark arts¡­ It didn¡¯t mention that Cen Yuebai approached the protagonist in order to help Shen Mengxi¡¯s return her soul to her body at all! Wait a minute. Since Cen Yuebai approached the protagonist in order to return Shen Mengxi¡¯s soul, after the body died, he shouldn¡¯t have a reason to continue to approach the protagonist, right? So why was he still diligently running around five yearster to retrieve the protagonist, who had already returned to his own body?!


    ¡°Heartbreaker!¡± Once again, he red at Cen Yuebai. A gloomy look swept over Cen Yuebai''s lower body. ¡°I won¡¯t forgive you!¡±


    The cat was stupefied by his sudden hostile face. She licked him foolishly while meowing quietly.


    Cen Yuebai seemed to know what he was thinking. He raised his hand to stroke Ye Zhizhou''s hair and exined, ¡°When I started the path of dark arts, my fated marriage was already determined. If my fated person didn¡¯t appear, <span>I can''t lose my innocence. Otherwise, when I die, my soul''s path will disappear and make me unable to reincarnate forever.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s face immediately changed. No path for his soul, making him unable to reincarnate forever, how cruel!


    Shen Zixia, whose brain CPU was overloaded, finally digested the information Cen Yuebai told them. He quickly stepped forward and looked to the cat nestled beside Ye Zhizhou. He asked quietly, ¡°You¡¯re Mengxi?¡±


    The small cat seemed to be afraid of him. She shrank back to Ye Zhizhou¡¯s side and gave a low meow.


    Suddenly, there was a knock on the room door and Fan Lang, with a wide smile on his face, directly pushed open the door toe in. he held a fruit basket as he greeted everyone, ¡°Elder brother and Yuebai are here too. Second brother, I¡¯vee to see you. Thank you for pushing me away at that time.¡±


    The small cat suddenly gave two loud meows with the fur on her neck puffed up.


    ¡°Yi! Why is it this cat again?¡± Fan Lang put down the fruit basket and carefully approached them as he turned his gaze away, ignoring the cat. ¡°Yuebai, are you really going to adopt it? I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s fierce. You¡¯re better off abandoning it.¡± After saying this, he went to the bedside and strongly patted Ye Zhizhou¡¯s chest, saying with a smile, ¡°Second brother, you¡¯re really useless. Wasn¡¯t it just a stab? Your face unexpectedly became so incredibly pale. That year, when I was fighting street gangsters, I got stabbed three times¡­¡±


    ¡°Fighting street gangsters?¡± Shen Zixia turned to look at ''her'', with an expression as profound as deep waters. ¡°When did you fight with street gangsters? Why don¡¯t I know of this?¡±


    Fan Lang quickly covered his mouth,ughing as he tried to cover up the mistake. ¡°J-just this time when I went out shopping and saw other people fighting on the streets¡­ Let¡¯s not talk about this. Second brother, when can you leave the hospital? I¡¯ll invite you to dinner then. I¡¯ll also call Zhang Lin and Cao Yu too. Let¡¯s all go out for a drink and note back until we¡¯re drunk!¡±


    He definitely deserves to be called a rich second generation idiot that loves to y. His main focus in life was just to eat, drink, y and have fun. In the original plot, what did the male leads like about him¡­ Thinking about this, he squinted at Shen Zixia and deliberately said, ¡°Elder brother, aren''t you pretty fond of Mengxitely? How about you go to the bar with her in my ce? It¡¯s really inconvenient for me to go out now¡­¡±


    ¡°What drinking!¡± Shen Zixia¡¯s stern voice cut Ye Zhizhou off, his eyes full of examination and inquiry were looking at Fan Lang. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go drinking! Don¡¯t ruin your stomach with alcohol. Girls are more delicate and can¡¯t y around like that.¡±


    ¡°Big brother, you¡¯re so old-fashioned.¡± Fan Lang was very dense. When he heard these words, he thought Shen Zixia was just joking around, so he stepped forward and patted his shoulder a couple of times while saying with a smile, ¡°If you¡¯re a man, then don¡¯t worry! Isn¡¯t it just a drink? It¡¯s not a big deal.¡±


    ¡°A girl should behave like one.¡± Shen Zixia has thoroughly confirmed that there was a strange soul in Shen Mengxi¡¯s body. A sense of anger about being cheated and his family being hurt arose in his heart. He said coldly, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go out anymore. Just obediently go back to school, don¡¯t force me to lock you up.¡±


    This was the first time Fan Lang had seen Shen Zixia¡¯s fierce side. He frowned and pushed him impatiently. ¡°What a bad temper. I¡¯ve never seen such a man like you.¡± While saying this, he looked towards Cen Yuebai and asked, ¡°Yuebai, why are you here? When did you get to know my second brother? I don¡¯t think you¡¯ve mentioned it before.¡±


    ¡°I just met him. I came here to woo him.¡± Cen Yuebai poked the forehead of the small puffed up cat and turned his head to look at Fan Lang to ask, ¡°How¡¯s your health recently?¡±


    ¡°What did you say you came here to do?¡± Fan Lang¡¯s eyes widened and he quickly rushed in front of Cen Yuebai, stuttering as he asked, ¡°You¡­ Aren¡¯t you chasing me? I-I was even preparing to¡­ You, what the hell¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not chasing you at all.¡± Cen Yuebai looked away and held onto Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand that was on the side, entwining their fingers together. ¡°He''s my chosen lover.¡±


    ¡°Then why did it seem like you always cared about me for no reason? You were afraid of me being hungry, cold or sick! And you still say that you aren¡¯t chasing me?¡± Fan Lang screamed. He scowled with a dark expression, his eyes full of anger as he aimed a fist at Cen Yuebai. ¡°You damn gay! Pretending to be straight and deceiving me! Disgusting! I¡¯ll kill you!¡±


    This was the final straw for Shen Zixia. He stepped forward and grabbed Fan Lang¡¯s hand, forcing it down and yelled, ¡°Calm down! Who¡¯s actually the liar? Get out of here!¡±


    ¡°You want me to get lost?¡± Fan Lang was furious. He pointed a finger at Shen Zixia and cursed, ¡°What right does a guy who wanted an incestuous rtionship have to yell at me! If it wasn¡¯t for¡­. wasn¡¯t for¡­ Let go of me! I¡¯ll leave. Who cares about your Shen family? Bah! Just you wait¡­ I will humiliate the Shen family in the future!¡±


    Bang!


    The door of the hospital room was strongly flung open and Shen Zixia was angered to the point that he fiercely punched the wall of a few times. ¡°I¡¯m blind! This kind of rude piece of trash can¡¯t even bepared to Xiao Xue!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou hugged the cat that withdrew to his side and quietly whispered in his heart that Shen Zixia deserved it. For this kind of man who asionally loses a few screws in his head, he needed to be provoked like this.


    After he calmed down a bit, Shen Zixia came to the bedside and looked at the little cat who turned its head away, not looking at him. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration and asked Cen Yuebai, ¡°Mr. Cen, do you really have a way to let my sister return to her body? Just now, that man¡­ Damn it!¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s possible, as long as you find the person who moved your sister¡¯s soul out of her body.¡± Cen Yuebai helped Ye Zhizhou in tidying up the nket, and thought for a moment before he added, ¡°You also need to know the identity of the soul currently upying your sister¡¯s body, and where the soul¡¯s original body is.¡±


    Shen Zixia frowned at his words. ¡°With that person''s temper, I''m afraid¡­¡±


    ¡°I know how to find out the identity of the soul living in Mengxi.¡± Ye Zhizhou interrupted their conversation. He raised the little cat¡¯s paw and waved it. ¡°In fact, it¡¯s very simple. Recently, there were a few people that suddenly appeared next to Mengxi. You can find out if you check carefully.¡±


    ¡°Zhang Lin and Cao Yu,¡± Cen Yuebai said these two names, paused for a bit and then added, ¡°and also Yin Feiyu.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll go investigate!¡± Shen Zixia took a look at the little cat, turned around to pick up his coat on the sofa in the room, and walked out quickly.


    ¡°Big brother, wait!¡± Ye Zhizhou hurriedly called out to him to remind him, ¡°You should call cousin Su Yu as well and go together. He should know the truth. If that bastard who took Mengxi¡¯s body went to deceive cousin Su Yu, it would be bad.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Shen Zixia nodded hastily and opened the door to leave.


    Now, it was only Ye Zhizhou and Cen Yuebai left in the room. The little cat looked back and forth between them and then jumped off the bed by herself. She curled up on the sofa in the corner of the room and blocked her eyes with her tail.


    My sister is really considerate¡­ Ye Zhizhou thought, speechless.


    Cen Yuebai took out another paper talisman, tore it apart and scattered it around the two of them. He bent over to look at Ye Zhizhou and whispered, ¡°She can¡¯t hear our conversation¡­ Now, tell me. Why are you in a body that doesn¡¯t belong to you?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou, who thought he was going to do something shameful, was stunned.


    ¡°Are you forcibly upying the body in the current situation? Or swapping souls? Or¡­¡± Cen Yuebai lowered his head with his eyes still looking at him, his warm breath spreading over his face, ¡°are you an evil spirit haunting someone?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou snapped out of it, feeling both ashamed and angry. He looked up and bit his lips, ambiguously saying, ¡°Of course I¡¯m an evil spirit who¡¯s haunting someone! That someone is you, heartbreaker!¡±


    Cen Yuebai chuckled lightly and raised his hand to cup Ye Zhizhou¡¯s face, giving him a deep kiss. ¡°Even if you¡¯re an evil spirit haunting someone, I¡¯ll ept it.¡± <hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Sweet story, sweet story¦ä(£þ¦á£þ)¦ä</strong>


    That plot twist!!!! Who expected that!!


    That Fan Lan smh, by now you should know there are no good protags LOL

 Chapter 86

    With the two living clues named Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, Shen Zixia quickly found out about Fan Lang. With a ck face, he took the information back to the hospital and gave it to Cen Yuebai. After giving him the data, he went to the side and silently sat down in a daze for a long time.


    Was Shen Zixia like this because he had found out that the person he had feelings for was actually a man, and was scared to the point he doubted his life? Ye Zhizhou leanedfortably on the bed, petting the little cat¡¯s ears and pulling at the fake ears of Tongtian while whispering, ¡°Mengxi, this little mirror is our secret, okay?¡±


    The little cat tilted her head in doubt, leaning over to rub against him while letting out a soft meow.


    Aiya, how can this sister be so lovely! He couldn¡¯t help but reach out and pet her again! However, knowing that there was a human soul inside the cat¡¯s body, he had some restraint. He only touched her head and neck, not daring to touch her anywhere else.


    [The system has the function of blocking the world¡¯s biological images and recing them with another scene. Please be at ease, Host. ]


    With a low hum, he picked up the little mirror and stuffed it into his pocket. He said in his mind, ¡°Ok, ok, I know you are powerful. You''re the most powerful.¡±


    The false ears moved, looking a little proud.


    [The probability of Su Yu and protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    The system prompt had just popped up when the room¡¯s door was violently pushed open. Su Yu stood at the door, panting, and looked around the room before running directly to Shen Zixia. He grabbed his cor and urgently asked, ¡°What¡¯s the meaning of the text you sent me?! What do you mean the person in Mengxi¡¯s body isn¡¯t Mengxi? Where¡¯s the real Mengxi then?!¡±


    The little cat lying on the bed lifted her head after hearing him and let out a meow.


    ¡°Xiao Yu.¡± Shen Zixia brushed his hand aside and looked at him doubtfully, ¡°Why are you¡­ Calm down. Mengxi is next to Zihao. ¡±


    It was only then that Su Yu realized that he seemed to have been too agitated. He stiffly moved his hand and a little thought arose in his mind¡­ He was almost seen through, so embarrassing. He quickly avoided Shen Zixia¡¯s sight and went to the bedside. His eyes scanned all around Ye Zhizhou and his brows became more and more wrinkled. ¡°Zihao, where¡¯s Mengxi?¡± Didn¡¯t Shen Zixia say that Mengi was right beside Zihao? Howe he couldn¡¯t even see her shadow?¡±


    The little cat stepped onto the nkets as she walked to the side of the bed. She raised her head to look at him before reaching her paws out to pull at him. She meowed again.


    ¡°Why is Cen Yuebai''s cat still here?¡± Su Yu¡¯s face didn''t have his usual smile, and he seemed anxious. He directly reached out, gently pushed the cat away, and continued to ask, ¡°What about Mengxi? Did she go out? ¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked at Su Yu and then at the little cat. He guessed in his mind, this Su Yu¡­ did he like the real Shen Mengxi? Then, five yearster, why did he still go to find Fan Lang? He should¡¯ve really hated Fan Lang, the bastard who robbed his sweetheart¡¯s body.


    Furthermore, Shen Zixia currently looked like he paid attention to his family with an affectionate attitude. He¡¯s also as straight as possible. Right now, he simply learned that he had those kinds of feelings towards a man and he already doubted his life. In the original plot, how could he bend just like that? He also didn¡¯t show any concern about where Shen Mengxi¡¯s soul went¡­


    ¡°Zihao!¡± Seeing that he was distracted, Su Yu became increasingly impatient and couldn¡¯t help moving forward to touch him. Thinking of his injury though, he took his hand back. ¡°Zihao, where exactly is Mengxi? How is she right now? Is she hurt? ¡±


    The little cat that was just pushed aside by him plopped her butt on the nket, staring nkly. Then, she reached forward again to pull at him with her paws, meowing several times.


    Su Yu once again reached out and pushed her aside.


    Ye Zhizhou snapped out of it after hearing Su Yu¡¯s words. He was a bit embarrassed by his untimely thoughts and quickly replied, ¡°After Mengxi¡¯s body was taken away, her soul entered this little cat¡¯s body. There was no injury, but this little cat¡¯s body is too small and weak. We should take care of it carefully.¡± This little cat was still a baby, it needs milk to live.


    Su Yu paused, and then quickly looked down at the little cat that was coincidentally pushed unsteadily by him. This time, she fell backwards, making all four paws face the ceiling and exposing her pink belly, while also letting out a few frightened meows.


    After Mengxi¡¯s body was robbed, her soul entered the little cat''s body¡­ This sentence echoed in his mind. The cat in front of him gradually became human. If it''s like that, then it exposing its belly is the same as¡­


    After a bit, Su Yu''s face becamepletely red. He turned his head, took off his coat and covered the little cat with it. He stuttered his reason, ¡°H-how can girls not wear clothes? This won''t do, no way, this is out of the question¡­ I, I will go buy you some clothes!¡± After saying this, he rushed out of the room without giving anyone time to react.


    The little cat struggled for a long time before she was able to push the coat that was covering her body aside. She looked at the room door doubtfully and meowed.


    [The probability of Su Yu and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The third soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    <span>Ye Zhizhou promptly took a pillow to cover his face and pressed down theughter that rushed to his mouth. Actually blushing after seeing a cat''s belly¡­


    <span>¡°This Xiao Yu is¡­¡± Shen Zixia looked at the cat on the bed, then looked at his brother, who was hugging a pillow andughing. After figuring it out, he wiped his face with his hand before choking out, ¡°Xiao Yu, he¡­likes Mengxi?" Not the ''trying to make him give up chasing her like'', but genuine like? And the one he likes isn¡¯t the fake, but the real Mengxi?


    The little cat froze for a bit before turning back to look at him, her cat eyes wide and her small body stiff, ¡°Meow, meow, meow?!¡±


    More than two hourster, Su Yu and Cen Yuebai came back together. One was carrying all kinds of cat toys, cat clothes, cat snacks, and the other was carrying a big thermos bottle. When they stood together, they had a strange CP feeling¡­ Something like the quiet and cold male god gong and the cheerful cute boy shou¡­


    Ye Zhizhou put aside the vinegar bucket that had formed and smiled. En, babyface really is noticeable. It¡¯s annoying. Picking up the cat and putting it in his arms, he waved at Cen Yuebai. ¡°What did you find while you were out? Come here, I¡¯m hungry.¡±


    ¡°How could you hug Mengxi!¡± Su Yu quickly rushed over, grabbing the little cat from Ye Zhizhou''s arms and holding it protectively in his arms. He also red at Cen Yuebai fiercely, ¡°And you! You also held Mengxi before, despicable! A big man who doesn¡¯t know how to avoid arousing suspicion! ¡±


    Cen Yuebai nced at him indifferently, then lowered his head and kissed Ye Zhizhou, sitting down beside the bed.


    Su Yu was shocked and was just about to say something when he suddenly felt pain from his chest, he looked down. The little cat was looking at him and had its ws clearly visible, the hair on her neck was all puffed up. ¡°Meow!¡±


    He didn''t understand, but it seems like she was very angry.


    The body in his arms was small and warm. His brain started to automatically turn the cat into a girl, and then quickly calcted which cat parts represented which human parts, so the part on his arm should be Mengxi¡¯s butt and what¡¯s leaning on his chest should be Mengxi¡¯s shoulder¡­ then, the small legs hanging on his arms was¡­


    The delicate baby face became red once again, and this time there was even smoke.


    Shen Zixia, who felt that he had eaten two big bowls of dog food, got up from the corner, took the cat from Su Yu¡¯s arms, and then smacked his head. ¡°You, calm down! Mengxi still needs our help right now. If you are seen by Fan Lang like this, you will directly expose Mengxi!¡±


    The little cat was already not afraid of Shen Zixia. She smoothly nested in his arms before leaning over and sticking out her paws to grab at Su Yu again.


    Su Yu happily covered the paws grabbing at him, blushed and said seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t worry cousin, I¡¯ll definitely protect Mengxi well!¡±


    He''s hopeless.


    Shen Zixia was a bit tired. He took the little cat to the sofa and sat down, clumsily petting her head while saying seriously, ¡°Mengxi, I will help you return to your body. Don¡¯t worry.¡±


    The little cat raised her head and rubbed against his hand, quietly meowing.


    With a foolish face, Su Yu watched on the sidelines. He was rewarded with the cold back of an annoyed cat.


    This room was full of pink bubbles, but the atmosphere in the room of another unit upstairs was not so wonderful.


    ¡°Hateful!¡± Fan Lang looked at his increasingly haggard body and pulled at his hair impatiently. ¡°Ever since Shen Zihao got injured, Shen Zixia, Su Yu and Cen Yuebai have surrounded him as if they had taken the wrong medicine. Their attitude towards me has be very cold. Could it be that they found out that I''m not the original?¡±


    Zhang Lin tousled his hair roughly, moving closer to trap him against the wall. ¡°Shen Zixia and Su Yu are Shen Zihao¡¯s brother and cousin. When their brother gets injured, it¡¯s only natural that they should pay more attention to him. As for Cen Yuebai, that abnormal person, why do you bother with him? It''s better if he doesn''t stick to you. Xiao Lan, don¡¯t be afraid, brother Lin will protect you. ¡±


    ¡°Stop using those tricks you use to pick up girls on me!¡± Fan Lang pushed him away and straightened his clothes. ¡°Damn it! It''s so annoying being a woman. I, this big lord, has to deal with these physiology problems! ¡±


    Zhang Lin watched him use the young and beautiful body to say those crude words. He felt more and more itchy, wanting to move forward. Cao Yu came in carrying a lunch box, and upon seeing the mood, smiled and said, ¡°You guys are so lively in here, while I was used as a messenger. Okay, okay,e over and eat. We still need to go to ss after.¡±


    ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy making it to the third year of university, not to mention graduating. I didn¡¯t expect after changing bodies, I need to start as a second-year again!¡± Fan Lang became increasingly angry as he said these words. He waved his hand impatiently. ¡°I¡¯m not going to afternoon sses. Let¡¯s go drinkingter!¡±


    Zhang Lin and Cao Yu looked at each other and smiled meaningfully before quickly chiming in. Their good friend¡¯s new body is really high quality. Every day, their hearts felt itchy when they looked at her. It¡¯s just that their good friend was unwilling to be pressed down, and hated how being a woman was worse than being a man in all aspects, so they were not able to touch him. Besides, there were always other men around their good friend, but now¡­ Their chance wasing!


    Yin Feiyu, who was leaning against the wall outside the room, heard the conversation clearly. A faint smile appeared on his lips before he turned towards the elevator. He was really unwilling to treat this kind of garbage.


    Cen Yuebai suddenly stopped moving his chopsticks in the middle of eating and Ye Zhizhou also immediately put down his chopsticks as he looked towards the room¡¯s door. Shen Zixia doubtfully followed their actions and stopped as well. Su Yu waspletely focused on feeding the little cat, so he didn¡¯t notice their actions.


    Yin Feiyu pushed the door open and nced at them. He raised his finger and motioned upstairs. ¡°I know you guys have already investigated things. Friendly warning, Zhang Lin and Cao Yu are currently encouraging your sister to drink.¡± After saying this, he turned around and left, leaving them looking at his confident and rxed white back.


    Su Yu paused before raising his head, his expression dark. ¡°What do they want to do to Mengxi¡¯s body!?¡±


    Shen Zixia¡¯s face was also dark, getting up and looking like he was about to charge out.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be impatient.¡± Cen Yuebai took out a thread of ck silk and wrapped it around the little cat¡¯s leg, folded a paper talisman onto the string and murmured a few words. Then, he picked up his chopsticks and said, ¡°Sit down and eat, Shen Mengxi¡¯s body is very safe.¡±


    The little cat meowed in agreement. Shen Zixia hesitated for a moment before turning around to sit down. Su Yu still couldn¡¯t let it go, but seeing that the little cat was staring at him, he could only suppress his worries and sit down with her.


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the scene and then secretly poked Tongtian, asking in his mind, ¡°Tongtian, didn¡¯t I get a Huanhun pill from a mission reward?¡±


    [Unused Mission Rewards: <span>Huaxing pill, <span>Huanhun pill, Purple Void cultivation method. ]


    Purple Void cultivation method?! He was so surprised that he almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand.


    [Limited by the authority of the host. Only the basic chapter of refining medicine and making talismans is opened in the Purple Void cultivation method. Does host wish to im the reward? ]


    Refining medicine and making talismans were more than enough! He nodded wildly in his mind, then looked at Cen Yuebai, who was next to him, with a grin. His lover in this world can y around with talismans, now he can learn too. Nice!


    Cen Yuebai poured a ss of water for him, the corners of his lips turning up into a smile unconsciously.


    At midnight, Cen Yuebai, who was apanying him, had fallen asleep. Ye Zhizhou quietly poked him and then yed the harmonica that he took out from his space. After confirming that the other party waspletely asleep, he lifted the nket and got up, leaving the room.


    The hospital was very quiet at midnight, the only room that was brightly lit was the doctors'' and nurses¡¯ duty room. Under the cover of his spiritual power, he easily made his way to Fan Lang¡¯s ward. He pushed the room door open and then stuffed the <span>Huanhun pill into Fan Lang¡¯s mouth. Outsiders couldn¡¯t hurt the protagonist, but it was okay to help them. No matter where the protagonist¡¯s soul had gone, he now had to obedientlye back. Wasn¡¯t that very helpful?


    [Fluctuation of the protagonist''s soul detected¡­ Fluctuation ended.]


    His heavy heart immediately became lighter and he poked at the light screen withughter. He continued to use his spiritual power to cover him as he went back to his ward. On the way back, he also sent Su Yu a text.


    Cen Yuebai¡¯s tense body rxed as he sensed the familiar spiritual power returning, and he broke the ck thread in his hand.


    In a car not too far from the hospital, Zhang Lin was still trying to persuade his friends to go drinking. ¡°Xiao Lang, you were the one that said you wanted to go drinking, now you¡¯re saying that you don¡¯t want to go. This joke isn¡¯t funny at all. We wasted a whole afternoon in the hospital and now we already drove the car out. What do you mean you don¡¯t want to keep going?¡±


    The further away he was from the hospital, the more obvious the feeling of his leg being pulled by a rope. Fan Lang didn¡¯t have time to listen to Zhang Lin and smacked the back of Zhang Lin''s seat while shouting, "I don''t want to go, so we don''t go! Go back to the hospital! Even if you park the car all night, I still won''t go! Turn back to the hospital!"


    ¡°Did you guys discuss what to do yet? I¡¯m sleepy.¡± Cao Yu frowned, his eyes full of impatience. ¡°It¡¯s already midnight, let¡¯s just give up and go back home to sleep.¡±


    Zhang Lin looked at him full of discontent. ¡°The nightlife has just begun! What sleep! Look at thatziness of yours!¡±


    ¡°Fine you don¡¯t need to turn around, I¡¯ll just get off and walk back myself!¡± Suddenly his calf started to hurt, Fan Lang was in a hurry. He reached out and pushed the car door open. He didn¡¯t know what was going on, but he¡¯s been unsettled since the afternoon. He doesn¡¯t want to leave the hospital, and when he did leave, he keeps thinking about going back. He also has the feeling that it would be dangerous to leave the hospital.


    Zhang Lin leaned over to pull him back and locked the door. He said with a dark face, ¡°Fan Lang, what are you doing?!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t think I¡¯m not aware of your ideas!¡± When Fan Lang saw that he couldn¡¯t open the door, he became extremely flustered. He turned his head and red fiercely at Zhang Lin. ¡°You dare to have ideas about me. I think you¡¯ve be <span>very courageous! Your family¡¯s business idea still depends on my family¡¯s support. Don¡¯t provoke me or I¡¯ll have you dealt with!¡±


    Zhang Lin¡¯splexion changed. ¡°Fan Lang, are you intending to shed all pretense of cordiality and end our brotherhood?¡±


    ¡°What are you guys doing!¡± Cao Yu looked at them inexplicably. ¡°To go this far just for a matter of drinking, you can¡¯t just dissolve the many years of affection between the two of you. Both of you, calm down!¡±


    ¡°You can stop pretending to be a good man!¡± Zhang Lin interrupted him with this sentence and sneered, ¡°This idea was mentioned by you first. You¡¯re always hiding in the back like a turtle, waiting for me toe out and then you take advantage of it. Cao Yu, you¡¯re just like that father of yours. Just a little pretty boy who only knows how to kiss ass!¡±


    Cao Yu¡¯s expression became sinister and he clenched his fist. ¡°Zhang Lin, you''re courting death."


    Fan Lang cursed a few times, he was done with this. He took the chance while they were fighting to open the car lock and pushed the door open, running out of the car, towards the hospital. Seeing this, Zhang Lin and Cao Yu stopped fighting and got out of the car to chase after him.


    ¡°Xiao Lang, listen to me.¡± Zhang Lin managed to catch up to Fan Lang and grabbed onto his shoulder, ready to exin, but the space under his hand suddenly became empty. Fan Lang had copsed to the ground.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?" Cao Yu, who was just a step behind, was stunned.


    Su Yu, who had been hiding in the darkness and observing the situation, rushed out to hold Shen Mengxi¡¯s body from the ground, taking out his mobile phone to directly dial 110. ¡°Hello, this is XX street in front of the third city hospital. Two people are trying to abduct a girl¡­¡±


    Zhang Lin and Cao Yu were confused by his baffling actions. They rushed to grab his cellphone after they realized what he was doing. The hospital security guards timely rushed in to subdue the two and brought them to the hospital security room.


    The next morning, the news of Fan Lang regaining consciousness came out with the news of Zhang Lin and Cao Yu¡¯s arrest.


    ¡°Where is Mengxi¡¯s body now?¡±


    Cen Yuebai helped him to pour some porridge and gave him the spoon. ¡°In the next ward, Su Yu is watching over her.¡±


    ¡°Ah.¡± He nodded his head, and then sighed with an exaggerated exmation, ¡°God really has eyes. Everyone was just thinking about how to get Mengxi¡¯s body back, and then the soul suddenly swapped back by itself. It¡¯s really worthy of a celebration.¡±


    Cen Yuebai nced at him with a joyful expression in his eyes. ¡°En. God is very powerful.¡±


    It takes a few days to prepare the materials and talismans for the soul returning ceremony. During this period, Shen Mengxi¡¯s body and soul could only stay separated. Unexpectedly, things took a different turn and became simpler, so now the matter of returning her soul to her body is just around the corner. Everyone¡¯s tense nerves rxed and they began to watch the show on Fan Lang and Zhang Lin¡¯s side.


    A person in a vegetative state is very weak when they wake up from aa. To recover, they have to go through a long period of recuperation and rehabilitation. At the moment, there¡¯s no time for Fan Lang to y around. Zhang Lin and Cao Yu forcibly abducted a girl on the street. They even caused her to end up in the hospital, unconscious. This crime was enough for them to stay at the police station for a long time. It seemed like they didn¡¯t have time to go do something with the protagonist.


    Ye Zhizhou was relieved, while Su Yu and Shen Zixia sneered. They felt very frustrated when they thought that those two people once tried to take advantage of their sister/sweetheart. So, they kindly delivered the news that Fan Lang had already regained consciousness butpletely didn¡¯t care about them and even made trouble for their release on bail.


    [The probability of Zhang Lin, Cao Yu falling in love with the protagonist has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    [Soul g fluctuation detected¡­The removed third soul g has been restored. The g has been transferred to the soul of Yuan Yao. Asking host to please pay attention! ]


    The perfectly satisfied Ye Zhizhou that was eating some fruit was so startled by the light screen in front of him that he dropped the small fork in his hand. Yuan Yao, wasn''t this the name of the big boss''s daughter?<hr>


    The author has something to say:


    Thank you Qiaozi for the grenade! Thank you for One Cat, Licking Screen Mushroom, Cang Leng for the mine! I love you so much = 3=


    PS: I love sweet story. Sweet story loves me.

 Chapter 87

    The soul g was restored but didn''t cause any plot changes. Ye Zhizhou opened the system information to look it over, but the more he looked, the more his brows wrinkled. ording to the timeline, the protagonist and Yuan Yao met when the protagonist was in his 40''s. At that time, Yuan Yao was only 25 years old. Then right now, Yuan Yao¡­must have just been born recently?


    Even babies aren''t spared, this soul g fluctuation is too ferocious.


    Cen Yuebai walked over to pick up the fork and set it aside. He raised his hand and poked Ye Zhizhou''s forehead lightly. ¡°What are you daydreaming about?¡±


    He snapped out of it, shook his head and thought about it for a bit before asking, ¡°You first approached my sister to help her return to her body. Suppose that her body died before she was able to return, what would happen to her soul then?¡±


    ¡°Her situation is special. It¡¯s equivalent to being forced out. If her body died, then her soul would gradually be weaker and weaker until it dissipated and returned to the reincarnation cycle.¡± Cen Yuebai sat beside his bed and put his hand into the nket. He gently lifted Ye Zhizhou¡¯s clothing and touched the wound. He leaned over and looked into his eyes. ¡°Why did you feel like asking this?¡±


    The wound was a bit ticklish when he touched it. He moved back and caught the hand that was making trouble at his waist, almost unable to keep his serious expression. He directly red at Cen Yuebai before answering. ¡°I just felt a little troubled. Have you gotten any results from your investigation? It seems like Fan Lang and the others don¡¯t know anything about the soul movement at all. Who do you think did it?¡±


    Cen Yuebai couldn¡¯t help leaning over to kiss his eyes, before holding his hand and saying, ¡°I went to the scene of Fan Lang¡¯s car ident and saw that there were traces of fighting nearby, but unfortunately, I couldn¡¯t identify which sect it was. Everything in the hospital seems normal, but Shen Mengxi¡¯s body was taken away here. Looking at thebination of the two clues, I can only guess that someone wanted to steal Fan Lang¡¯s body and Shen Mengxi¡¯s involvement was idental.¡±


    Someone wanted to steal Fan Lang¡¯s body¡­ He suddenly thought of something and frantically poked at the system in his mind. ¡°Are the gs on top of the protagonist''s head bound to the protagonist''s soul?¡±


    [Currently retrieving rules, please wait¡­Retrievalplete, soul gs are bound to the soul and cannot be changed.]


    Bound to the soul? Then why didn¡¯t he see the soul gs on top of the protagonist''s head when he saw him that day, at Shen Mengxi''s school gate? At that time, the soul in Shen Mengxi¡¯s body was Fan Lang. It couldn''t be that Fan Lang wasn''t the protagonist?!


    Once again, at midnight, he snuck into Fan Lang¡¯s room. The room was very dark with little light, and the gs that were glowing in the dim light were even more eye-catching. He couldn¡¯t help tightening his hold on the little mirror in his pocket, frowning deeply. What is going on¡­Why is it that when Fan Lang was in Shen Mengxi''s body there were no soul gs above his head and yet when he returned to his body, they appeared again?


    He poked at the small mirror while sprinkling a powdered form of the Cuimian pill on Fan Lang, moving closer to look at him. He asked in his mind doubtfully, ¡°Do the soul gs only appear when the protagonist¡¯s soul and body match?¡±


    [There is no such requirement in the rules.]


    So what exactly is going on right now? He became increasingly confused. The Huanhun pill wouldn¡¯t make any mistakes. At this moment, the soul in Fan Lang¡¯s body is absolutely the genuine soul! So, that day, why were the soul gs absent when Fan Lang was the one upying Shen Mengxi¡¯s body?


    ¡°You also think it¡¯s strange, don¡¯t you?¡±


    The sudden voice scared him so much his heart skipped a beat.


    <span>Yin Feiyu pushed the door open and walked to the bedside, observing Fan Lang on the bed with him. He held a closed record folder in his hand. ¡°When he woke up, your sister fainted. Interesting. What¡¯s even more interesting is that his personality now is a bit different from when he was in your sister¡¯s body. ¡°


    His spiritual power actually didn¡¯t detect Yin Feiyu¡¯s approach. What''s going on? He quickly calmed down but didn¡¯t follow the other person¡¯s train of thought, asking instead, ¡°Do you know about the matter of moving souls? Or could it be you know the culprit?¡± Yin Feiyu has always been strange and he didn¡¯t feel like a bad guy but at the same time, he didn¡¯t seem like a good guy either. It looked like he noticed a lot of things, but had no intention of intervening, simply staying as a spectator. Ye Zhizhou secretly guarded against him and used his spiritual power to monitor Yin Feiyu for a few days but got nothing. In short, he couldn¡¯t understand this man.


    ¡°I forgot to mention it. My eyes are different from yours.¡± Yin Feiyu took off his sses and turned his head to look at him. The corners of his eyes crinkled as he smiled and it unexpectedly gave him a charming appearance. ¡°Your soul is golden, and my grandfather said that a golden soul is rare. The owner of a golden soul must have great merit, a noble lifestyle and I should treat them with caution. Although I hate things like gods and demons, I have to admit they were very useful, so I believe in you.¡±


    ¡°While this person on the bed¡­¡± He put his sses on again, quirking his lips in disdain. ¡°The first day he was admitted into the hospital, his soul was a chaotic gray. On the second day, he lost his soul and it became nk. Now, his soul is gradually turning ck. A ck colored soul represents great evil, they can¡¯t be reincarnated after death. I really don¡¯t want to cure him.¡±


    [The probability of Yin Feiyu and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fourth soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s surprise was considerably dulled by the system prompt that suddenly popped up. His thoughts continued to fly around his brain, but nothing was shown on his face. He continued to ask, ¡°Then, can you see the color of Cen Yuebai''s soul?¡±


    ¡°Cen Yuebai, ah.¡± Yin Feiyu narrowed his eyes and then looked to the door at the side of the room. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, stop hiding. Don¡¯t worry, I don¡¯t have any ideas towards your little lover.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou, who was trying hard to pretend to be wise, raised his eyebrows. He couldn¡¯t help turning his head to look at the door when he heard this.


    ¡°This is why I hate the people that opened their third eye.¡± A cold voice came from behind the door. Cen Yuebai pushed the door open and used the corridor lights to enter. He looked at Fan Lang, who was unconscious on the sickbed. ¡°A great evil disciple, so it¡¯s like this. It¡¯s not moving souls, but a merged soul. No wonder the first soul returning magic failed.¡±


    Merged souls? So the soul gs¡­ Ye Zhizhou turned to look at Fan Lang on the bed and turned on the system¡¯s scanning function. The problem was that the system could only scan the condition of the physical body, it has no special abilities for souls. Only after he scanned half of Fan Lang¡¯s body did he react, and turned the system off in frustration. Powerful technology and golden fingers in this increasingly unscientific world really aren''t useful¡­ This mission is difficult.


    Cen Yuebai walked past Yin Feiyu to go to Ye Zhizhou and took ahold of his hand, kneading it. ¡°Go back and sleep, it¡¯ste.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou, who snuck out of the room, looked at him guiltily. He obediently followed Cen Yuebai as he walked out, but when he was about to walk past Yin Feiyu, he suddenly remembered his previous question so he asked again, ¡°So, what color is Yuebai¡¯s soul?¡±


    Cen Yuebai stopped and turned to look at Yin Feiyu with sharp and threatening eyes,pletely different from his usual cold indifference.


    ¡°An ordinary person¡¯s soul is warm and light yellow. The more evils they do, the more turbid their colors are. On the contrary, the more merits and kindness they have, the purer their color is.¡± Yin Feiyu didn¡¯t answer his question directly. Instead, he turned around and walked out while saying, ¡°A man who is merciless, has no willingness, has no merits, and has nothing, but was born with an immortal affinity and bore the <span>consequence of murder. You tell me¡­ what color would his soul be?¡±


    Once again, he saw Yin Feiyu¡¯s confident and rxed white back, but Ye Zhizhou¡¯s mood this time was somewhat heavy.


    Born with an immortal affinity yet his life carries the consequence of murder¡­ consequence of murder¡­ He looked at Cen Yuebai, who was stopped in front of him. He wanted to say something so he opened his mouth, but he hesitated and ended up just closing it. Every life, his soul is loaded into the world, upying another person¡¯s body¡­ but his lover was actually reincarnated for so many lives without the memory of his previous lives. Regarding this mysterious consequence of murder issue, even if he asked about it, it¡¯d be impossible to get an answer from his lover. However, for his lover who has nevermitted any evil deeds in this world to be faced with this kind of issue, he must feel powerless and find it difficult.


    There was a sudden fluctuation in the spiritual power surrounding Fan Lang. Heposed himself and then tightened his hold on his lover¡¯s hand, walking out with him. ¡°The effect of the powdered Cuimian pill is almost over, let¡¯s go. We can talk more when we get back.¡±


    Cen Yuebai looked down at their entwined hands, and his stiff body slowly rxed. So what if he carried the consequence of murder, as long as this person doesn¡¯t let go, as long as this person stays by his side¡­


    It was silent the entire way back to the room. Cen Yuebai didn¡¯t go to the guest bed, but instead squeezed onto the sickbed, holding Ye Zhizhou tightly in his arms with no gaps exposed. It was as if he was afraid that Ye Zhizhou would run away the second he loosened his arms.


    Ye Zhizhou moved sideways to hug him back, tilting his head to kiss Cen Yuebai on the chin. He released a soothing spiritual power to surround them and said in a warm tone, ¡°Yuebai, we¡¯ll always be together.¡±


    Cen Yuebai hugged him tighter and then said in a low voice, after a moment of silence, ¡°A few years ago, when master realized that his life was ending, he divined my fate for me while hiding the fact that he used his life as a sacrifice¡­ The result of the divination was a bloody hell.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heart tightened. He wanted to look up to see Cen Yuebai¡¯s expression but found that he was held down and couldn¡¯t move.


    ¡°You have merits and virtue, and are destined to live a happy, long life, yet I¡­¡±


    ¡°I know you don¡¯t have a bad heart.¡± Ye Zhizhou interrupted his words and anxiously arched in his arms. ¡°If you¡¯re living with a consequence of murder, we can redeem it slowly. Besides, we¡¯ve been married for several lifetimes. You can¡¯t leave me alone! Don¡¯t you want to be with me? You shouldn¡¯t care too much about this¡­¡±


    ¡°We¡¯ll stay together.¡± Cen Yuebai suddenly hugged him and turned over, pressing him under his body. He showed a rare bout of intense emotion. ¡°You can only be mine! Even if I¡¯m going to hell, I¡¯ll take you with me!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou stared at him nkly and then let out a loudugh, destroying the mood, ¡°You''re so¡­ Every time, you say the same line¡­" He still isn''t tired of saying this, even after a few lifetimes.


    Cen Yuebai¡¯s heart, full of terror and anxiety, was cleared by hisughter. His mood felt a bit seized up. ¡°You¡­¡±


    ¡°I like you. No, I love you.¡± Ye Zhizhou raised his arms and looped it around Cen Yuebai¡¯s neck, pulling him down. He pressed their foreheads together and said slowly, ¡°I have a secret. You must¡¯ve noticed it already, but you respected me and didn¡¯t ask about it. Now, I will also respect your secret. The consequence of murder, I¡¯ll forget it when I wake up tomorrow. You don¡¯t have to worry about it too much and you shouldn¡¯t care about it. You are you. I believe that you¡¯ve never done anything bad in your life. You¡¯re a good person. Just like in thest life and the previous life before that¡­ You¡¯ve always been a good person and I just happen to like you, this good person, understand?¡±


    Cen Yuebai¡¯s expression gradually became gentle. In his mind, the emotion and mental state that he suppressed for many years due to the image of the bloody divination, was finally released. Little by little, it was filled with a warm and soft feeling. ¡°Understood.¡± He rxed his body, which was pressing Ye Zhizhou down and kissed his eyes. ¡°I love you too¡­ always¡­¡±


    The scattered spiritual power in the air felt the familiar approach of another spiritual power. Ye Zhizhou closed his eyes and smiled, hugging the man on top of him tightly. No matter what color his lover¡¯s soul was, he believed in this person and loved him deeply. That was enough.


    The two happily and sweetly went to sleep andpletely forgot about Fan Lang, whose soul was turning ck upstairs.


    The following morning, Ye Zhizhou woke up in a daze. He nced at the small mirror beside the pillow and instantly jolted awake, quickly sitting up.


    Oh shit! The mission!


    Cen Yuebai happened to be walking in with breakfast. Seeing Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hair all curled up in disarray as he sat on the bed with a face full of fear, Cen Yuebai frowned a little and walked forward to feel his forehead. He asked with concern, ¡°Did you have a nightmare? Or did you not sleep well?¡±


    ¡°Yuebai! The soul merging, the soul merging!¡± Ye Zhizhou grabbed Cen Yuebai¡¯s hand, almost frantic to the point that he couldn¡¯t speak properly, ¡°How is Fan Lang right now? What¡¯s going on with the merging souls? Yesterday we¡­ no. Yesterday, Yin Feiyu said that Fan Lang¡¯s soul was turning ck. Is this because of the soul merging?¡±


    Cen Yuebai rxed his furrowed brows and sat down beside the hospital bed, patting Ye Zhizhoufortingly. After Ye Zhizhou calmed down a bit, he said, ¡°Merging souls is different from stealing someone¡¯s body. What he¡¯s stealing isn¡¯t just the other person¡¯s body, but their life and chance of reincarnation. It takes time to merge souls, don¡¯t worry. Fan Lang¡¯s soul hasn¡¯t beenpletely overtaken yet. There¡¯s still a method.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s the method? How long does it take to merge souls? How do you stop it?¡±


    ¡°The quickest would be one or two months while the slowest would be around three to five years, depending on the strength of the invading soul. As for a way to stop it¡­ Separate the invading soul and kill it.¡±


    Separate the invading soul¡­ Ye Zhizhou repeated this sentence for a moment, and then pulled his hair. So that damn invading soul is the real protagonist of this world! Why are the protagonists in difficult mode never normal?! This time, it''s unexpectedly just a soul that would snatch a body from others!


    [Soul g fluctuation detected¡­The fourth removed soul g has been restored. The g has been transferred to the soul of Yuan Wei. Asking host to please pay attention! ]


    Ye Zhizhou took a deep breath after seeing the system prompt that suddenly popped up.. Yuan Wei? The son of the big boss?!


    Does that invading soul have a grudge against the Yuan family?! <hr>


    The author has something to say:


    Thank you Jun Shi for the mine! Love you! 3=


    PS: This brain hole can''t be closed again QvQ


    PLOT TWIST, ahahaha another plot twist, protag wasn¡¯t the protag. This arc is so wild already,


    Also ML and YZZ are so cute

 Chapter 88

    After falling apart for a bit, Ye Zhizhou quickly calmed down. He opened the system data and started the mandatory analysis of every world¡ªfinding clues from the small details of the data.


    Based on his interactions with the male leads during this period, he was quite sure that there was definitely another secret in the original plot, between the male leads and the protagonist. Shen Zixia is very straight. Su Yu likes the real Shen Mengxi. Cen Yuebai approached the protagonist to help Shen Mengxi return to her body. Yin Feiyu hated the protagonist and his ck soul. As for Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, from their performance in the police station, their enthusiastic performance when Fan Lang upied Shen Mengxi¡¯s body wasn¡¯t because of love for the other, but to drag his body into bed for some excitement. Looking at the above situation, it can be concluded that none of the six male leads really loved the protagonist!


    ¡­ This was probably the most ipetent protagonist of all the mission worlds. He collected a harem but none of the men in the harem loved him¡­ After roasting the protagonist for a bit, Ye Zhizhou refocused his thoughts on the plot. Since the male leads didn¡¯t love the protagonist, why did they run away together to be with him?


    He couldn¡¯t figure it out so it¡¯s better to put the problem aside from now. He skipped over all the lovey-dovey plot points and looked at another plot point he didn¡¯t understand¡ªShen Zihao¡¯s ending. If Shen Zixia and Su Yu didn¡¯t love the protagonist, then towards this younger brother, they shouldn¡¯t have hurt this killer¡­ No, Su Yu would likely want to hurt him. After wiping his face, he sighed. Recently it seemed like his brain was a little short-circuited, it looked like Shen Zihao didn¡¯t die. In the original plot, it only said he was imprisoned after being tortured and was never mentioned again¡­ Let¡¯s just assume that the original owner was in prison this entire time.


    Trying to find a clue from Shen Zihao¡¯s ending was fruitless. He moved his view to what Fan Lang did after his soul returned. After a long rehabilitation, Fan Lang recovered and his personality became much calmer. At this time, he was 26 years old and his peers were busy with their careers while only his memory was stuck in his university life. However, he didn¡¯t seem to feel ufortable about it. After his bodypletely recovered, he entered his family¡¯spany. He started as an ordinary office worker and became more familiar with business little by little, actingpletely serious and hardworking.


    ¡­ Serious and hardworking didn''t seem like Fan Lang.


    Ye Zhizhou frowned and tapped at this moment in the plot. Yin Feiyu seemed to have said that Fan Lang¡¯s temperament had changed after he woke up¡­ So, in the original plot, this serious and hard-working person should be the invading soul.


    His train of thought became a bit clearer and he calmed down to continue to analyze the plot.


    Fan Lang¡¯s hard work won the praise and recognition of his family, but not for long. Fan Lang soon came out of the closet, and aftering out of the closet, he quickly abandoned his career and ran abroad with all his money to y around and seek excitement.


    He frowned. This section seemed like something Fan Lang did himself¡ªusing money to pick up girls and have fun¡­ Afterwards, the angry male leads came to find him and shut him up in the small ck room.


    Wait, small ck room?


    He finally realized what was wrong! In the entire plot, there wasn¡¯t a description of the intimate scenes between the male leads and the protagonist! Not one time! Every time it was exined with the small ck room and then the protagonist¡¯s indignant attitude about being forced into the small ck room! There were no depictions of typical couple actions like kissing or holding hands! At most, it was a hug¡­ yes, it was Cen Yuebai¡¯s hug!


    All of the protagonist¡¯s two-timing love scenes were written so straightforwardly, yet when it came to the male leads, it was all covered by the small ck room. That''s too abnormal. Could it be that when the males leads shut him in the small ck room, they actually didn''t xxoo? Then what''s up with the protagonist''s indignant attitude every time?


    He suddenly remembered his lover¡¯s ability to use talismans in this life and the fact that Su Yu loved the real Shen Mengxi. The broken trail finally connected. Yin Feiyu¡¯s third eye, Cen Yuebai¡¯s talisman maniption ability, merged souls and the fact that Shen Zixia and Su Yu may have resented Fan Lang in their hearts¡­ Were the male leads trying to separate the invading soul by shutting the protagonist in the little ck room, and then to hide this fact, they created the facade of doing xxoo with the protagonist?


    Then what about Zhang Lin and Cao Yu? Why were they involved in this? Cen Yuebai and Yin Feiyu got involved to get rid of the invading soul. Shen Zixia and Su Yu may have gotten involved for revenge, but what about the other two? To save their brother?


    ¡°¡­¡± He forced his wandering train of thought back, focusing on the real protagonist of the world, the invading soul.


    If the small ck room y was a fight between the male leads and the invading soul, why did they always choose to fight after the protagonist xxoo with someone? Combined with the theory of soul merging¡­could it be that there was something wrong with the protagonist¡¯s soul merging in the original plot? So the dominant consciousness was sometimes the real Fan Lang and sometimes the invading soul? With Fan Lang¡¯s personality, it must be his consciousness that¡¯s dominant when he xxoo, so it must be that the male leads choose this time to shut him in the small ck room¡­


    He imagined the male leads¡¯ expressions as they stared at the protagonist, hoping that he would run off to xxoo and Ye Zhizhou suddenly wanted tough. Finally, there was an exnation for why, in the original plot, Fan Lang would sometimes be diligent in his career while the other times he''d run off to xxoo and have fun¡­ With Cen Yuebai around, it seems like it would''ve been difficult for the invading soul to smoothly merge souls.


    <span>Hisughter didn¡¯tst long. As the plot turned to the Yuan family, his just rxed mood became heavy again.


    <span>Now, two of the protagonist¡¯s soul gs have been transferred to the two children of the Yuan family. From this point of view, that invading soul either has a grudge against the Yuan family or covets something of the Yuan family.


    When he went over the part where the protagonist and the big shot¡¯s wife started their rtionship again, he found a frightening fact. It was different from how the protagonist previously slept around. This time, the protagonist actually took the route of gentle care, cultivating affection first before climbing into bed. Also, the timing when the big shot found out about his wife¡¯s infidelity was too coincidental, as if someone had told him.


    His expression became grave and he turned the plot information to the part where the protagonist slept with the big shot''s son and daughter.


    ¡­ It¡¯s too intentional. It was different from the original plot, where it said that the protagonist hated the male leads for ignoring him, so he slept with the son and daughter in anger. This was more like the protagonist slept with the son and daughter in order to deliberately provoke the big shot. It had nothing to do with the male leads at all.


    And when this happened, it was already many years after thest time the protagonist was shut in that small ck room. The male leads rarely appeared beside the protagonist. This time, the protagonist slept with the big shot¡¯s wife and the male leads didn¡¯te out to deal with the aftermath, they were very passive. With his previous reasoning about why the male leads stayed with the protagonist, if they didn¡¯t care about him anymore, it¡¯s possible that the soul merging alreadypleted and Fan Lang couldn''te back anymore¡­


    He pondered over this section of the plot again, and suddenly a strange feeling came over him. The big shot was really angry after the protagonist slept with his wife, but he didn¡¯t really do anything to him. He just caught the protagonist and abused him a bit, but the protagonist didn¡¯t get any injuries, just some sleeping problems¡­ Later on, when the protagonist slept with the big shot¡¯s son and daughter, the big shot was also angry but he still didn¡¯t move against him. In fact, the protagonist was actually killed by the big shot''s wife, son, and daughter.


    Why did it seem like the big shot didn¡¯t want the protagonist dying? Furthermore, there¡¯s a fight between the male leads and the big shotter, but the male leads¡¯ revenge was very perfunctory while the big shot¡¯s revenge was so fierce it forced the male leads to be serious. What made him the most suspicious was the big shot''s reaction after his wife and children killed the protagonist. He actually buried the protagonist, divorced his wife, and didn''t want either son or daughter. He threw all of his family property and enthusiasm into the fight with the male leads. Later, he left a will directly giving everything to his adopted son, not even leaving his son and daughter a single cent.


    This big shot¡­


    There was a thought that gradually came to the front of his mind. He wiped his face, and after preparing his mind, he threw his spiritual power into thework to investigate the big shot¡¯s life experience. Half an hourter, he sat on the bedpletely speechless.


    This big shot¡­ was bisexual. He started from the bottom and fought his way up but had a boyfriend that was his childhood sweetheart¡­ Later, he abandoned his boyfriend because he was currying favor with the daughter of an affluent family and even got her pregnant¡­


    His childhood sweetheart went crazy and wanted to kill the youngdy but was killed by her instead. The big shot didn¡¯t know about it at all. He thought that the childhood sweetheart was deeply hurt by this and moved abroad to heal¡­


    Right now the big shot wasn''t a big shot; he was just a son-inw with no position in the youngdy''s family and was striving hard to make his way up.


    He felt like a big pot of dog blood was pouring onto his head. He just wanted to kill the big shot right now.


    ¡°Done daydreaming?¡± Cen Yuebai, who was sitting quietly on the side acting like a wallflower, suddenly spoke. He walked forward and touched Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes. ¡°I want to know your real name and what you really look like¡­ Suddenly, I envy Yin Feiyu. His third eye sees through the soul, so naturally, he can see your real appearance.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou snapped out of his plot skimming and was stunned as he heard these words. He quickly took out a pen and paper from his space and drew, he didn¡¯t care about exposing the secret space to his lover.


    Cen Yuebai was surprised by the pen and paper that he retrieved from thin air, but the shocksted only a short moment before he returned to normal. Unconsciously, he moved closer to Ye Zhizhou, with a ¡®wanting to lock him up¡¯ kind of domineering posture.


    ¡°There are no pictures, so I can only draw it for you. I¡¯m not a good painter, you¡­¡± Ye Zhizhou suddenly felt a little shy. Halfway through drawing the picture he shrank bank and whispered, ¡°My name¡ªYe Zhizhou¡­ You¡­. you¡¯re not allowed to think that I¡¯m ugly. I don¡¯t mind that you¡¯re domineering and have a bad temper, so¡­¡±


    Cen Yuebai showed a gentle smiling expression. He took the paper from his hand and examined it carefully. Then, he looked up into Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes, suddenly smiling and hugging him. He sighed in his ear, ¡°Very beautiful¡­ Zhi Zhou from <span>''guan guan cry the ospreys, on the islet in the river''?¡±


    ¡°No, it''s not.¡± Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help blushing and pulled at his clothes. ¡°I¡¯m an orphan. When I was at the welfare agency, I only had a number but no name. Later, I had to get a name if I wanted to go to school and the welfare agency let us choose one by ourselves. If I wasn¡¯t satisfied with it after I became an adult, I could change it again¡­ I was found on a <span>sandbank in the forest, covered with tree leaves, so¡­ So that was the name I picked¡­ I didn¡¯t know the poem at that time¡­¡± The more he spoke, the more embarrassed he became. He didn¡¯t feel like there was a problem with his name before, but now¡­ in front of his lover he felt particrly embarrassed¡­


    ¡°Sandbank in the forest, Ye Zhizhou.¡± Cen Yuebai rubbed his red ears and repeated himself in whispers. After a long time, he suddenly mumbled, ¡°Xiao Zhou¡­¡±


    This was the first time his lover had said his real name and an unprecedented, intense bashfulness suddenly rose up. He covered his red face in embarrassment, and then quickly covered Cen Yuebai''s eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t randomly call out my name! Don¡¯t look at me like that! Be more normal. D-don''t say my name like that. ¡±


    ¡°Like what?¡± The corners of Cen Yuebai¡¯s lips quirked up. ¡°Xiao Zhou, could it be that you don''t like me calling you this?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou simply couldn¡¯t stand this! His tone of voice plus the expression and his ambiguous manner of speaking at the end of the sentence¡­ He simply rushed to press the other person onto the bed, even covering his mouth. At the pinnacle of his embarrassment, he became angry. ¡°You need to chill! Close your eyes and don¡¯t look at me!¡±


    Cen Yuebai chuckled a few times, raised his arms to hug him, and then pulled him down. His fingers slowly slid across Ye Zhizhou''s ears and neck, then he suddenly stretched out his tongue to lick his palm.


    Ye Zhizhou quickly removed his hand and his eyes met the other¡¯s smiling eyes. For a while, he was at a loss. He then simply climbed to the head of the bed, pulled the nket over his head to fully cover himself and said in a loud voice, ¡°Get out! Get out! I¡¯m going to sleep!¡±


    The bed shifted, and then the nket on him was being pulled at. ¡°You just woke up.¡±


    He hurriedly tightened his grip on the nket, then stretched his legs to kick at him. ¡°I-I¡¯m sleepy again! Is that not allowed? Aren¡¯t you going to prepare the soul returning talisman for Mengxi? Go, go, stop sticking to me."


    ¡°The soul returning talisman has already been made.¡± His legs were pressed down, and then the nket became heavy. A voice carryingughter could be heard above his head, ¡°Right now, I want to be with my family''s Xiao Zhou and talk about love.¡±


    Ah ah ah! Foul! This isn''t fair! He didn¡¯t even know his lover¡¯s real name or initial appearance! No¡­ His lover was reborn normally in every life, it seems like all of his names and appearances were his own¡­ Anyway, it¡¯s not fair!


    Shen Zixia found that Cen Yuebai and his brother have be more sticky. In front of him, his hedgehog-like brother directly turned into a soft and cute rabbit when facing Cen Yuebai¡­ His heart felt a bit stuffy and he wanted some peace. What he didn''t see, he didn''t have to think about. Shen Zixia went to the room next door but felt so suffocated by his cousin¡¯s foolish face that he wanted to disappear from the world.


    The world was just too unfriendly to single people¡­ He leaned against the wall outside the room and suddenly wanted to smoke.


    ¡°Smoking is forbidden in hospitals.¡± The hand that had reached into his pocket was pressed down. He looked sideways and saw Yin Feiyu standing in front of him with a paralyzed face, his eyebrows raised. Shen Zixia looked down and saw that the thing pressing down on his hand was a record chart.


    He took out the box of mints in his pocket and shook them at the other. ¡°Doctor, would you like one? Guaranteed to refresh and clear your mind. ¡±


    Yin Feiyu stared at the box of mints, slowly taking back the record chart as he shifted the topic. ¡°How is Shen Mengxi''s body?¡±


    Shen Zixia, who was trying to be a good brother recently, immediately became alert and looked at him defensively while asking, ¡°Why do you care so much about Mengxi? It can''t be that you really have some ideas about her?" He had already learned the reason why Yin Feiyu approached Mengxi before from his younger brother. Previously, it was because he saw the soul in her body wasn¡¯t right, however, the soul was now proper so why was this doctor still popping up?


    Yin Feiyu looked him up and down and then continued to ask, ¡°How is Shen Zihao''s body?"


    ¡°It can''t be that you also have ideas about my brother?!¡± He immediately became more defensive.


    Unable tomunicate.


    Yin Feiyu abandoned the idea of talking with this man who couldn¡¯t understand and directly pushed the door of Ye Zhizhou¡¯s room open. After entering, he mmed the door shut.


    Shen Zixia was jolted back to rationality by the loud sound of the door mming. After standing there stiffly, he distressingly wiped his face. It seems normal for a doctor to care about his patient¡¯s physical condition¡­ Recently he has been overstimted and he had a bit of an overreaction.


    The door clicked open again and Yin Feiyu came out from behind it, turning to look at him deeply before suddenly saying, ¡°I suggest that you go to the psychiatry department downstairs and have a look.¡± After saying this, he immediately left, running away after saying these rage-inducing words.


    Shen Zixia choked and then was furious. It¡¯s no wonder that the doctor-patient rtionship wasn¡¯t good now. With that kind of attitude from the other side, the patient¡¯s family would really want to tear down the hospital in minutes!


    Cen Yuebai then walked out of the room. It seemed like he wasn¡¯t surprised at all that Shen Zixia was outside of the room. He took out a paper talisman and said, ¡°Get ready, we can return Shen Mengxi¡¯s soul in a bit.¡± <hr>

 Chapter 89

    The soul returning process went smoothly. Shen Mengxi was confused for a bit when she woke up, but then she turned sideways to look beside her pillow.


    The little white cat was leaning forward and lying on its side, eyes closed, as if it was just sleeping. Shen Mengxi extended her finger toy on top of its nose, her eyes widened as she stared at the cat for about half a minute, before lowering her hand and gathering it into her arms.


    Cen Yuebai put away the remaining materials of the paper talisman and lightly said, ¡°It died long before you entered its body.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Shen Mengxi stroked the cat''s little body and sniffed, ¡°I just thought¡­¡±


    Su Yu handed her a tissue and clumsilyforted her, ¡°Don¡¯t cry, we¡¯ll give it a good burialter. If you like cats, I¡¯ll buy you another one¡­¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want a cat bought by you.¡± Shen Mengi took the tissue and wiped away her tears. After ring at Su Yu, she looked at Ye Zhizhou and said, ¡°Second brother, thank you.¡± After saying this, she looked at Cen Yuebai, paused, and said in a small voice, ¡°Thank you too, Second sister-inw.¡±


    Shen Zixia saw that everything went smoothly, so he was in the middle of taking a sip of water to ease his mood when he directly spat out his water. Cen Yuebai paused in the middle of putting away the paper talismans. He turned his head to look at Ye Zhizhou, and in turn, Ye Zhizhou also stared at Cen Yuebai for a bit before shooting him a pleased and smug look. He walked forward to pat Shen Mengxi on the shoulder. ¡°Well done, Mengxi!¡±


    Shen Mengxi smiled shyly.


    Su Yu looked at Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand, which was resting on Shen Mengxi¡¯s shoulder, and felt an acid reflux rise to his chest. However, at this time, his identity wasn¡¯t suitable to do the same, so he could only bitterly bite a handkerchief in his heart.


    Shen Zixia took a deep breath, turned around and then left the room. So be it, this way is good.


    The pair of brother and sister went through the hospital discharging formalities the next day. After they got home and settled down, Ye Zhizhou went to the police station.


    Zhang Lin and Cao Yu were very depressed. When they saw hime in, they just nced at him indifferently before looking away.


    ¡°I can have my sister drop the charges against you.¡± He sat opposite the two and exined the situation straightforwardly, "But I have conditions. Firstly, you guys can¡¯t harass my sister ever again. Additionally, you have to follow me to go somewhere tonight."


    Zhang Lin and Cao Yu looked at each other. Aftermunicating with their gazes for a bit, Zhang Lin replied, ¡°The first condition, we agree. As for the second¡­ We have to know where you¡¯re taking us.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Zhizhou agreed very easily, took out a pamphlet from his pocket and set it in front of the two people. ¡°Recently, a new club opened in the south part of the city with a secret bar in it. I heard that you guys always wanted to see it. I¡¯m a good person, so I¡¯m willing to take you guys there to experience it. Don¡¯t worry, I promise that you¡¯ll leave looking the same as when you entered, not a hair will be out of ce.¡±


    <span>The two men looked at the pamphlet, looked at each other again, and then agreed to his request without hesitation. It was just going to the bar. Since the other side has made such a promise, they''ll just go. Anyway, they''re two big men who aren''t afraid of any loss.


    That evening, Ye Zhizhou threw the two into the bar and let them have front seats to watching several passionate male/male performances. That¡¯s right, the secret bar was a gay bar. There were regrrge-scale performances and mixers¡ªtonight was a mixer. Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, as two straight men going in, who knows what kind of impact this would have on their spirit.


    Three hourster, the two men came out of the bar with pale faces. Their clothes were a little messed up. They were probably teased by the enthusiastic bar guests inside.


    Ye Zhizhou leaned against the car and greeted them with a smile. He asked gently, ¡°How do you guys feel?¡±


    ¡°You actually brought us to this kind of terrible ce!¡± Zhang Lin took the lead in expressing his anger. He rushed forward, wanting to grab onto Ye Zhizhou¡¯s cor to beat him up. ¡°Damn it! I was almost forced by a man! He actually wanted to get me drunk!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou blocked his hand and pushed it away, sneering. ¡°Isn¡¯t that what you wanted to do to my sister?¡±


    Zhang Lin choked on the rest of his words. Cao Yu¡¯s expression became distorted, the look in his eyes changing many times, but in the end, he didn¡¯t say anything. His face became moreposed and steady and then he opened the car door to get in first.


    ¡°It''s different!¡± Zhang Lin finally choked out this retort.


    ¡°What''s the difference?¡± Ye Zhizhou looked at him directly and asked coldly, "Isn¡¯t this your usual practice¡ªto pour drinks and then drag them to bed when they¡¯re drunk? Why is it that you get angry when this happens to you? When you do this to others, why do think that they''re perfectly willing to and deserve to be taken advantage of by you? You¡¯re human, but others aren¡¯t?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s just different! What other people, you only care about your sister! Actually, I don¡¯t have any ideas about your sister! It¡¯s all because of Fan Lang¡­¡± Zhang Lin stopped his sentence midway and his expression changed. He got into the car and shouted, ¡°What¡¯s your purpose? I know I acted like a beast and not as a human before! I won¡¯t do it again in the future!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou pulled open the driver¡¯s door and got into the car. He took out a picture of Fan Lang from his pocket and turned around, stretching out the hand with the photo in front of the two people while sending out his spiritual strength to wrap around them. He slowed down his voice and said, ¡°I know that Fan Lang¡¯s soul was in my sister¡¯s body previously. You said that you only had ideas about my sister because of Fan Lang, so now, look at this picture and imagine what it would look like if you did things with him¡­ Tell me, do you really want to do stuff with Fan Lang?¡± Fighting wasn¡¯t the purpose. The thoughts of these two rich generation idiots won¡¯t be changed so simply. Pulling out the soul gs was the main point.


    In their mind, they couldn¡¯t help imagining the scenes that they saw in the bar, and then, the people who were performing these actions in the scene became themselves and Fan Lang¡­ Zhang Lin and Cao Yu twisted their faces and looked out of the window one after another with wrinkled faces and pursed lips¡ªa picture of disgust.


    [The probability of Zhang Lin, Cao Yu and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fifth and sixth spirit gs have been removed. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Just provoking them a little and two soul gs were pulled out. It seemed like the two''s trip into the bar today was really enlightening. Ye Zhizhou turned off the system prompt in satisfaction and mercifully took back his spiritual strength.


    The picture in their brains gradually disappeared. Zhang Lin calmed the nausea in his heart and shouted, ¡°We''re just brothers with Fan Lang, brothers! Oh, I understand now! We were wrong! We''ll be good people in the future! Shen Zihao, you''re too cruel!¡±


    Cao Yu wiped his face. He moved his lips and whispered, ¡°My mother is right. I¡¯ve been really stupid these years¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou turned back around and started the car. He said, ¡°As long as you guys understand, good people get rewarded. Bad people go to heaven. In the future, don¡¯t always think of doing bad things and taking advantage of girls. Is it hard to be a good man? And if you''re straight men then stay straight men, don¡¯t randomly bend, others will be very troubled.¡±


    Zhang Lin beat the back of his chair and after cursing under his breath, swore in his heart that he would never provoke the Shen family again.


    At the darkest time of midnight, Cen Yuebai took Ye Zhizhou to the ce where Fan Lang had his car ident.


    ¡°This is it.¡± Cen Yuebai shone the shlight around him, rubbing the paper talisman in his hand while observing the direction of the dispersing ashes. Afterwards, he turned around and faced the shlight to the deep woods near the road. ¡°The body is in that direction. The invading soul probably awoke from the fighting traces we found before and then consciously entered Fan Lang¡¯s body, which happened to have had a car ident nearby. The soul merging probably only started after arriving at the hospital.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou turned on the system scanning function and swept around, frowning slightly. ¡°Then why did Fan Lang¡¯s soul enter Mengxi''s body?¡±


    ¡°Because that invading soul used the wrong skill. He shouldn''t be someone who knows the dark arts.¡± Cen Yuebai turned off the shlight, took out a red thread and a few copper coins. After fiddling with them a bit, he looked up at the sky. ¡°The soul merging spell is simr to the soul moving spell. It¡¯s easy for a beginner or someonecking a master¡¯s leadership to make mistakes. That invading soul¡¯s hatred was too strong and couldn¡¯t reincarnate. They should¡¯ve gradually lost their consciousness and dissipated, but by some bizarre ident, they were buried by the people who killed them¡ªin this ce of nourishing yin, which made them be more and more powerful.¡±


    A ce for nourishing yin? Ye Zhizhou looked around at the deste scenery and couldn¡¯t help rubbing his arms.


    Seeing this, Cen Yuebai put away the copper coins and came forward to hold Ye Zhizhou''s hand, leading him to the direction of the corpse¡¯s burial. ¡°Soul merging became soul moving. In order to not let himself dissipate, he would¡¯ve hidden before the second soul merging. Since he¡¯s already done this before, his soul merging target could only be Fan Lang. If I had found this out earlier, I would¡¯ve waited and been more prepared. It would be much easier to catch him, but unfortunately¡­¡±


    Trying to hide? Where could a soul hide? And Yin Feiyu could see the color of souls, so why hasn''t he been found before?


    As if he could see his doubts, Cen Yuebai pinched his hand and said a few words lightly, ¡°The morgue.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was stunned, and then suddenly realized. The morgue was the ce with the most yin energy and souls in the hospital. It would be really easy to hide a foreign soul in there. So in the original plot, during the five years when Fan Lang¡¯s soul didn¡¯t return to his body, did the invading soul stay in the hospital morgue?


    ¡°It should be here.¡± Cen Yuebai stopped in front of a hillside and pointed to a small cave covered by some stones under the slope. ¡°The body should be under these stones.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou used the system to scan the stones, and as expected, traces of human bones were detected below them.


    ¡°Call the police?¡± Cen Yuebai turned him around, not letting him continue to face the direction of the corpse.


    ¡°In a few days, we''ll report it.¡± He shook his head. "I still have some things I don''t understand.¡± Yin Feiyu said that Fan Lang¡¯s soul was gradually turning ck, so it can be seen that the invading soul should be ck, and ck represents a great evil. ording to the information he found, the invading soul seems to have done nothing bad before. The only time he had an evil idea was when he tried to kill his ex-boyfriend''s wife, but was instead directly killed.


    Cen Yue nodded his head to show his understanding and led him back to the road. ¡°I set up an istion array outside of Fan Lang¡¯s ward. The invading soul has been trapped and locked there. As for the progress of the soul merging¡­ The color of Fan Lang¡¯s soul isn''t pure either. You should be prepared.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heart sank and his expression became more and more solemn when he heard this. It took more than 20 years for the protagonist''s soul to be merged in the original plot, why was it reversed now¡­


    His heart was busy with many things, so he didn¡¯t notice Cen Yuebai¡¯s little trick as he was driving. He didn¡¯t pay attention until the car stopped in front of a vi. He stared nkly and asked, ¡°Where is this?¡±


    ¡°This is the house my master prepared for me for my wedding.¡± Cen Yuebai helped him to unfasten his seatbelt and then got out of the car first to open Ye Zhizhou¡¯s car door for him. He leaned over to look at him and said, ¡°This will be our future home. Do you want to go in to have a look with me?¡±


    Although he knew that there would definitely be some harmonious activity urring after he went in, he didn¡¯t care. His lover looked too handsome as he nced towards him while leaning on the car door, too handsome to the point where he felt suffocated. He¡¯s not human if he didn¡¯t fall down from this!


    ¡°Yes.¡± He got out of the car without any reserve, and his eyes swept over Cen Yuebai''s lower body. ¡°You said that you couldn¡¯t lose your innocence before finding your fated one. What about now?¡±


    Cen Yuebai chuckled and held his hand. ¡°It¡¯s going to belong to you.¡±<hr>

 Chapter 90

    On this beautiful and early morning, where he didn¡¯t have to go to school or work, the deeply slumbering Ye Zhizhou was woken up by his phone ringing. He felt around sleepily, yet what he found was a slender and strong hand.


    ¡°Did the noise wake you?"


    His face was kissed and then the phone stopped ringing. He struggled to wake up, but the sleepiness was too strong, the nket was too soft, the sound of his lover''s breath was too pleasant. He stirred a bit before falling asleep again.


    Cen Yuebai propped his head up with his hand and looked at Ye Zhizhou, his eyes unconsciously filling with traces of amusement. When the muted cell phone lit up again, he nced at it and saw the two words ¡®Shen Zixia¡¯ on the caller ID. He squinted, declined the call, and sent a text.


    He''s staying with me. Shen Zixia¡¯s face stiffened after reading the text and then he strongly hit the couch pillow several times.


    ¡°Big brother, what''s wrong?¡± Shen Mengxi came out carrying breakfast, curiously asking, ¡°Was that Second brother calling? When is heing back?¡±


    ¡°Noting back.¡± Shen Zixia got up with a ck expression and went to help her set the dishes on the table. ¡°Zihao has something to do. He''s going to live with Cen Yuebai for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Living with Second sister-inw?¡± Shen Mengxi suddenly smiled. ¡°Then, I have to prepare some things for Second brother¡­¡­ I¡¯ll go buy it now!¡± After saying this, she directly turned to run upstairs, not wanting to eat breakfast anymore.


    Shen Zixia watched her go up and took a deep breath. His phone suddenly rang and he took a look at the caller ID. Seeing that it was Su Yu, he directly hung up with a dark expression! As he just took a sip of his coffee, his phone rang again. He was furious. When he picked up the phone, he shouted, ¡°Are you a wimp or something?! If you want to chase, then you can chase. Stop ying around with these roundabout ways. I¡¯m not as free as you!¡±


    The person on the other side was quiet for a bit before Yin Feiyu¡¯s unique voice came through. ¡°Drink more chrysanthemum tea if you''re suffering from excessive internal heat.¡±


    Shen Zixia froze. He looked at the cell phone screen and confirmed that the caller was not Su Yu, but Yin Feiyu. He wiped his face sadly, put the phone to his ear again and asked, ¡°What are you calling for?¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t get through to Cen Yuebai and Shen Zihao''s phones.¡± Yin Feiyu nced at Fan Langying on the hospital bed, his soul was rapidly darkening. He both sympathized and loathed him. ¡°Have theme to the hospital. Fan Lang''s soul is getting darker.¡±


    Yin Feiyu hung up right after saying that, and Shen Zixia gloomily chugged down the rest of the bitter ck coffee he was holding.


    It was lunchtime when Ye Zhizhou and Cen Yuebai arrived at the hospital. Yin Feiyu was currently watching Fan Lang¡¯s ward door and nibbling at a sandwich. When he saw theming, he directly said, ¡°Fan Lang had a normal day yesterday. He went to rehabilitation, ate his medicine, read a book and then took an afternoon nap. It looked like the invading soul in his body didn¡¯t notice the array outside of the room. However, when I came to check the roomter that night, the situation changed. His soul rapidly began to turn darker, and more than half of it has turned ck. Go in and have a look.¡± After eating thest bite of his sandwich, he took out a wet wipe from his pocket and wiped his hands. He pushed the door open. ¡°After my grandfather heard about this, he insisted that I must help you. Tch, you guys got lucky.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Having a third eye made things a lot easier. Cen Yuebai was very generous with his thanks.


    Ye Zhizhou also thanked him and then rushed into the room to check on Fan Lang¡¯s condition. He frowned. ¡°He hasn''t woken up at all today?¡±


    ¡°No.¡± Yin Feiyu opened the record chart, looked at it and calcted the time. ¡°He''s been sleeping for more than ten hours.¡±


    ¡°Once the soul merging has reached halfway, the invading soul can control Fan Lang¡¯s body. It was probably not Fan Lang¡¯s consciousness that behaved normally yesterday. The array outside the room has been discovered, and the invading soul is in a desperate situation." Cen Yuebai¡¯s expression became heavy after checking the situation. He quickly took out several paper talismans and folded them. Then, he hung them around the sickbed ording to the <span>five elements and looked at Ye Zhizhou. ¡°Do you have Zhang Lin and Cao Yu''s number? Tell them toe here.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou quickly took out his phone, as he called them, he asked, ¡°Why do you want them toe?"


    ¡°Calling the soul. They were thest people with Fan Lang when the invading soul started to merge with his soul. The three grew up together and meet the conditions for calling back the soul.¡± Cen Yuebai exined briefly and then took out a stack of paper talismans to fold. ¡°We have to be quick. After the soul merge isplete, we will no longer be able to separate Fan Lang and the invading soul.¡±


    Zhang Lin and Cao Yu came very quickly, both of them wearing confused expressions. Ye Zhizhou briefly exined the situation and then pushed them towards the sickbed.


    ¡°What is soul merging? What are you guys up to?¡± Zhang Lin became impatient and reached out a hand to pull off the paper talisman hanging beside the sickbed. ¡°And what¡¯s this all for? What are you guys being so mysterious about?¡±


    <span>¡°Don¡¯t touch.¡± Ye Zhizhou came forward to pull Zhang Lin''s hand back and said in a deep voice, ¡°If you want your brother to nevere back, then continue to court disaster.¡±


    <span>Zhang Lin was still afraid of him. He withdrew his hand when he heard Ye Zhizhou''s words and could only hold back his curses.


    If they didn''t cooperate sincerely, it would be useless to force them to help with calling the soul back. Ye Zhizhou thought about it and asked, ¡°Tongtian, is there any way to open the third eye of these two people temporarily? Just to let them see the soul merging situation."


    [Do you want to receive the task reward Tong Shen talisman ahead of time? ]


    Tong Shen talisman? To feel something as if it happened to oneself? He quickly selected yes in his mind and the small mirror then spat out one ck talisman and three gold ones. He took them out of his pocket and looked over their usage. Then, he went up and stuck the ck talisman on Yin Feiyu and two gold talismans onto Zhang Lin and Cao Yu respectively. After hesitating for a bit, he stuck thest gold talisman on himself, exining quickly, ¡°This is the Tong Shen talisman, don¡¯t tear it off. Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, look carefully at Fan Lang on the bed and tell us whether you want to save him or not!¡±


    When Yin Feiyu heard his words, he withdrew the hand that was stretching toward the talisman and didn¡¯t move at all. Cen Yuebai¡¯s body stiffened, pausing in the middle of hanging up more talismans around the sickbed, and looked at the golden talisman stuck on Ye Zhizhou.


    Zhang Lin and Cao Yu were baffled by the talisman stuck onto them, and turned their heads to question him but were startled by the sudden dark shadows in front of them. ¡°W-what are these dark shadows?¡±


    ¡°Those are your souls. I temporarily copied Dr. Yin¡¯s third eye onto you guys.¡± Ye Zhizhou exined the power of the third eye to them and then nced at the bedside to look at Cen Yuebai. There was a translucent shadow on everyone¡¯s body. Zhang Lin was chaotic gray, Cao Yu was dark brown, Yin Feiyu was a warm, bright yellow, and Cen Yuebai¡­


    ¡°Xiao Zhou.¡± Cen Yuebai quietly called his name, moved over and covered up his eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t look.¡±


    ¡°Why¡­¡± Ye Zhizhou¡¯splexion paled. He raised his hand to pull away Cen Yuebai¡¯s hand, holding onto it, trembling. ¡°Why¡­. don¡¯t you have one??¡± It was a nk te¡­ there was nothing. How could it be possible¡­ How could a human have no soul?


    Yin Feiyu nced at them and then silently walked forward. He exined the whole story to the still screaming in fear Zhang Lin and the shocked Cao Yu. In a few words, he calmed Zhang Lin down.


    Cen Yuebai hugged him and kissed his brow. "It''s ok¡­ In fact, it''s there. It''s just that you can''t see it.¡±


    "But¡­"


    ¡°It¡¯s transparent.¡± Cen Yuebai stroked his face and said with a smile, ¡°How can a person not have a soul? It¡¯s just that I¡¯m special and was born with a transparent soul. One of my Master''s good friends also has his third eye. He has checked it for me. There''s no problem.¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes were full of hope. ¡°Will it gradually be normal in the future? Does this harm you in any way?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s no harm. The color of my soul will probably be normal once the consequence of murder is cleared.¡± Cen Yuebai once again hugged him, and quietly removed the talisman on his body. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. As you can see, I¡¯m fine.¡±


    The shadows all disappeared. Ye Zhizhou tightened his grip on the hand hugging him and forced himself to rx. Was¡­ was it really that he couldn''t see it?


    Yin Feiyu turned his head to look at them. His eyes just happened to meet Cen Yuebai''s. After staring at him for a moment, he looked away indifferently. Transparent? How amazing he was,ing up with this kind of excuse.


    He lifted his hand and tore off the talisman on his body and then helplessly pushed his sses up. People in love, not only their IQ drop, even their eyes be blind.


    After seeing the mysterious things with their own eyes, and listening to the detailed exnation, Zhang Lin and Cao Yu¡¯s attitude became more cautious and serious. Although they had a big quarrel with Fan Lang, which almost tore them apart, they still grew up together and hold affection for each other. When they learned that their brother was in danger, of course, they would help him! They listened to Cen Yuebai¡¯s instructions, cut their fingers and pressed them on arge red paper talisman. Then, they closed their eyes and started to recall the days when they went out to y with Fan Lang.


    Yin Feiyu and Ye Zhizhou withdrew to the corner of the room, trying their best not to disturb them.


    Nothing world-shaking happened. After the talisman hanging beside the sickbed shook a few times, Yin Feiyu, who was closely observing the situation, opened the record chart and began to scribble in it. ¡°The ck color has retreated a bit. He¡¯s safe for now.¡±


    Cen Yuebai burned the paper talisman in his hand and then nodded at Zhang Lin and Cao Yu.


    Zhang Lin directly copsed on the floor, his face full of fear. ¡°Just now, I was a bit flustered. Some memories that didn¡¯t belong to me appeared in my mind. What¡¯s going on?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s the invading soul¡¯s memory.¡± Cen Yuebai calmly exined as he began cleaning up the paper talismans around the sickbed. ¡°Calling the soul back needs to be repeated many times, you guys need to mentally prepare. Don¡¯t run around these days, and take care to not get infected by unclean things.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s focus was on Zhang Lin¡¯s previous sentence, so he walked up to ask, ¡°What did you see in those invasive memories?¡±


    ¡°I saw two little boys ying together.¡± Zhang Lin got up with a somewhat embarrassed look. ¡°I also saw what they did when they grew up¡­ ugh¡­¡± Recently, his straight heart has suffered a lot.


    ¡°Fire.¡± Cao Yu suddenly opened his mouth with a pale face and looked at Ye Zhizhou with terrified eyes. He unconsciously trembled. ¡°There was a huge fire, the house¡­ There were still people in the house¡­ Someone was standing outside the houseughing."


    Ye Zhizhou was startled. He thought back to the information he had previously found and asked seriously, ¡°You said that someone was standing outside the house,ughing?¡±


    ¡°Yes, I heard someone calling him Xiao Tao¡­¡±


    Xiao Tao? The name of the invading soul was Luo Tao and the big fire¡­ He couldn¡¯t help clenching his fist as cold sweat appeared on his back. The big boss''s name was Yuan Chang. He lived a miserable life when he was a child. His mother died early. His father was fond of gambling and domestic violence. His grandmother¡¯s temper was very bad because of her illness¡­ In his second year of high school, his father and grandmother identally knocked over the oil pot and set the house on fire while arguing, resulting in them being burned alive at home¡­Yuan Chang¡¯s grandmother once bought insurance for herself and her son. After their deaths, Yuan Chang received arge amount of insurance money. It was by using this money that he and Luo Tao, whose parents died early,pleted their college education.


    ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Cen Yuebai walked forward and hugged him.


    ¡°Yuebai.¡± Ye Zhizhou collected his thoughts, turning his head to look back at him and said, ¡°I think we need to go find Yuan Chang.¡± Originally, he was first going to separate the invading soul and stabilize Fan Lang before dealing with the big boss, but now¡­ <span>Whoever hung the bell on the tiger''s neck must untie it, Yuan Chang is probably not innocent. This old grudge, it''s better if he lets those involved settle it themselves.


    Yuan Chang and his wife moved to another city a few years ago. Cen Yuebai had to watch Fan Lang in the hospital and keep an eye on the progress of the soul merging. Ye Zhizhou could only go alone to find Yuan Chang.


    ¡°Have Shen Zixia apany you.¡± Cen Yuebai felt a little uneasy.


    ¡°No need.¡± He shook his head and stuffed the things he needed to bring into his space. ¡°I don¡¯t want to let big brother get involved in these things again.¡± In the original plot, Shen Zixia and Su Yu wasted their whole lives staying beside the protagonist. They didn¡¯t live a good life. Now that the two have returned to a normal life, it''s better to not involve them with Fan Lang again.


    Cen Yuebai took off the on his wrist, pulled over Ye Zhizhou''s hand and put it on him. He hugged him. ¡°Come back early.¡±


    He touched the warm Buddha beads on his wrist, hugged Cen Yuebai back, and nodded softly. ¡°Yes.¡±


    A dayter, Ye Zhizhou set foot into an unknown city, alone.


    At eight o¡¯clock that night, he went to Yuan Chang¡¯s house and rang the doorbell. The door was opened by a smiling woman with a bright appearance. She was about 30 years old. She was stunned when she saw Ye Zhizhou outside the door. She asked in doubt, ¡°Excuse me, sir¡­¡±


    ¡°Xia Xiang.¡± Ye Zhizhou interrupted her words and took out a picture from his pocket, shaking it in front of her. ¡°If you don¡¯t want your son and daughter to die, tell Yuan Chang toe out and both of you apany me somewhere.¡±


    The picture showed Luo Tao¡¯s burial ce. Xia Xiang¡¯splexion changed greatly after seeing this. She turned to close the door.


    ¡°It seems like you¡¯re going to watch both your son and daughter die.¡± Ye Zhizhou wasn¡¯t surprised by her reaction. He put the photo back into his pocket and said indifferently, ¡°Or, maybe you¡¯d rather have the police invite you out?¡±


    Xia Xiang halted her action of closing the door, looking at him with fear. She lowered her voice and snapped. ¡°However much you want, I¡¯ll give it to you! Just don¡¯t disturb my life.¡±


    As expected, the style of a richdy. He hummed andughed, taking out his cell phone to dial Yuan Chang¡¯s phone number. He saw her eyes gradually widen. ¡°Luo Tao is already dead. His body is buried in the woods outside B city. Do you want to know who killed him? Come to the door.¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Xiang¡¯s face turned pale, and her body trembled with rage. ¡°How do you have my husband¡¯s phone number?¡± As she said this, she seemed to have thought of something and forcefully mmed the door.


    Ye Zhizhou raised his hand to look at his watch. 36 secondster, the door opened and the tall, smart-looking Yuan Chang with a twisted expression rushed out. His eyes quickly locked onto him. He went up and asked, ¡°Was it you who called? You¡¯re lying to me, aren¡¯t you! Xiao Tao has gone abroad¡­ Why don¡¯t you talk! Tell me, how could Xiao Tao be dead!¡±


    ¡°Yuan Chang!¡± Xia Xiang rushed out to pull him and began to drag him back into the house. ¡°This man is a madman! How can you believe his crazy words? After all these years of marriage, you still can¡¯t forget Luo Tao and live peacefully! What are you taking me, Xia Xiang, as!"


    ¡°The fire and Luo Tao¡¯s death.¡± Ye Zhizhou looked at them with cold eyes. He noticed the small figure behind the door from the corner of his eye. He quickly rxed his expression and said in a low voice, ¡°Neither of you is clean, but the children are innocent. So, are you going to obediently follow me, or am I going to say your crimes directly in front of your children?¡±


    Xia Xiang¡¯s sharp voice abruptly stopped, and Yuan Chang¡¯s gaze turned sharply to look at him.


    ¡°Dad, mom¡­ Don¡¯t fight, sister is crying¡­ ¡± A little boy ran up from behind the door, grabbing their pant legs, and gently pulled. ¡°Sister is crying, she''s hungry¡­¡±


    Xia Xiang¡¯s lips trembled a few times. Suddenly, she covered her face and crouched down to hold the boy. She began to cry, ¡°Don¡¯t say it¡­ Please don¡¯t say it, the children are innocent¡­ I beg you¡­ I¡¯ll go with you. Please don¡¯t say it¡­ ¡±


    Yuan Chang¡¯s Adam¡¯s apple moved and he clenched his fist. "After we settle the children down¡­ I¡¯ll go with you.¡±


    [The probability of Yuan Wei, Yuan Yao and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou nced at the system prompt, his gaze fell on the child in Xia Xiang''s arms and a trace of anxiousness shed in his eyes. With such a pair of parents, what should these two children do in the future?<hr>

 Chapter 91 part1

    Ye Zhizhou took the two to the hospital where Fan Lang was. During this period, Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang were silent, not making eye contact with each other or talking. The mood was stifling and entric. He left the two outside for the time being and pushed the door open to go in alone. After confirming that the ceremony for calling the soul back had ended, he stood outside and beckoned at the two. ¡°Come in.¡±


    Yuan Chang immediately pushed the door open and entered, while Xia Xiang hesitated for a while, before gritting her teeth and following him in.


    Since he thought that he was going to see his old friend¡¯s face on the bed, Yuan Chang quickly rxed after seeing Fan Lang¡¯s appearance on the bed instead. He turned his head to look back at Ye Zhizhou. ¡°Who is he? Where¡¯s Xiao Tao?¡±


    ¡°Luo Tao¡¯s body is in the woods outside the city.¡± Ye Zhizhou nced at Xia Xiang, whose body had stiffened, and motioned to Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, signaling for them to leave as he continued to speak, ¡°I have called the police, so they should be on their way to dig up the body.¡±


    Yuan Chang frowned at his words. After taking a deep look at Xia Xiang, he turned to walk out.


    ¡°But, Luo Tao¡¯s soul is in the body on the sickbed.¡± Ye Zhizhou added indifferently while looking at Xia Xiang, ¡°More than two months ago, this man had a car ident near the woods outside the city. Luo Tao¡¯s soul took the opportunity to get into him and tried to steal his body.¡±


    Yuan Chang suddenly stopped and Xia Xiang rapidly shook her head. ¡°No. Ghosts don¡¯t exist in this world, no¡­¡±


    The paper talisman beside the sickbed suddenly moved. Cen Yuebai, who was standing in the corner, tightened his grip on the copper coin he was holding. He looked at Ye Zhizhou. ¡°There¡¯s a reaction.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean, there''s a reaction?¡± Xia Xiang''s eyes grew wide as she looked back and forth between them. She shrank back towards Yuan Chang. ¡°No, there are no ghosts in the world. Someone dying is like extinguish a light, if they''re dead then they''re dead¡­¡±


    Yuan Chang avoided her and turned to look at the person on the bed, his expression changed a few times. He asked in a strange tone, ¡°Is Xiao Tao in this person¡¯s body? Is Xiao Tao really dead? When did he die? How did he die? Is it¡­ ¡± As he said this, he took a deep breath and clenched his hands. ¡°Is Xiao Tao¡¯s death rted to my wife?¡±


    ¡°Yuan Chang!¡± Xia Xiang screamed. She turned away from the bed and stretched out her hands to grab his arm. ¡°How long are you going to torment me for your ex! Back then, it was you who chased me! It was you! Furthermore, that Lu Tao! Why did hee to destroy our feelings! Why?! I already promised him money to study abroad!¡±


    ¡°So, you¡¯re saying that Xiao Tao taking the money to go abroad was all a lie?¡± Yuan Chang shook her hand away, and his voice couldn¡¯t help rising. ¡°Yes, back then it was me that chased you, and it was me who wronged Xiao Tao! But why did you¡­ Did you really kill him?¡±


    <span>¡°No! I didn¡¯t.¡±


    <span>¡°Then,e with me so we can dig up Xiao Tao¡¯s body together¡­ Do you dare to? Come on, let¡¯s go right now.¡±


    <span>The paper talisman around the sickbed shook even more. Ye Zhizhou looked at Yin Feiyu standing in the corner. Yin Feiyu opened the record chart knowingly, flipped it over to let him see it, and tapped on the word ¡°ck¡± that was written on it.


    Ye Zhizhou moved his line of sight back to Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang, who were arguing. His gaze became slightly cold. So, the souls of these two people were already ck¡­ ck represents great evil, so their hands were stained with the blood of others.


    It was probably Yuan Chang¡¯s attitude and the hospital environment that stimted Xia Xiang, and she finally cried out, ¡°Yes! I killed him! But I was just defending myself! He tried to kill me first!¡±


    Yuan Chang¡¯s angry expression stiffened and turned nk for a split second. ¡°So, Xiao Tao is really dead?¡±


    ¡°He¡¯s dead! He deserved it!¡± Xia Xiang buried her face in her hands and crouched on the ground. ¡°I was pregnant at the time. One second, he took the check and the next second he pulled out a knife. What could I do¡­ I just wanted to protect my baby in my belly¡­ Yuan Chang, back then, why did you chase me¡­ why¡­.¡±


    Yuan Chang looked at her with red-rimmed eyes. ¡°You killed him, you actually killed him¡­¡±


    ¡°I wanted to kill you even more!¡± Xia Xiang grabbed his pant leg, her knuckles turned white from how tightly she was gripping it. ¡°Yuan Chang. How have I, Xia Xiang, treated you badly¡­ I know you approached me for money, but I didn¡¯t care. But you¡­ You shouldn¡¯t have put me into this kind of unbearable situation! Do you know what others say about me? They talk about how I didn¡¯t be a proper rich family¡¯s wife but became a homosexual¡¯s wife instead! Yuan Chang, Luo Tao was obviously forced to death by you. If he wasn¡¯t driven to despair because of you and didn¡¯t try to kill me due to jealousy, why would he have died! It was you. It was you who killed him!¡±


    One of the paper talismans surrounding the sickbed suddenly ignited. Seeing this, Cen Yuebai promptly threw a copper coin in the nned direction and nodded to Yin Feiyu. When he saw this, Yin Feiyu put the record chart away, turned and left the room.


    Yuan Chang bent down to grip her hand and pulled her up. The rims of his eyes were red and his expression was ferocious. ¡°If he wanted to kill you, then you should have let him kill you. Why did you have to kill him? Yes, I chased you first, but didn¡¯t you get hooked very quickly? You even used your family''s power to pressure me. If you hadn''t drugged me back then, would I have bedded you?¡±


    ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Xiang looked at him in shock, her face pale. ¡°You wished the one who died was me? Yuan Chang, back then, I was still pregnant with your child¡­¡±


    ¡°Child? Do you think I don¡¯t know your rich and wonderful past? Are you sure Xiao Wei is my child?¡± Yuan Chang coldly threw her hand aside and strode to the bedside to stroke Fan Lang¡¯s face. There was a trace of madness in his eyes. ¡°Xiao Tao, are you stealing this body? How can I help you, huh? As long as you live, I promise I''ll never leave you again. We''ll be together for the rest of our lives, ok?¡±


    ¡°No, you''re not allowed to!¡± Xia Xiang screamed and rushed forward to pull him away. ¡°What do you mean? You don¡¯t even want the children anymore?! You can¡¯t treat me like this!¡±


    ¡°Fuck off!¡± Yuan Chang pushed her aside,pletely tearing off the mask of a good man. ¡°Xia Xiang, right now, I can still live a good life without you. Take your illegitimate children with you and scram, you murderer.¡±


    ¡°He''s obviously your child!¡± Xia Xiang was angered to the point where she actually became calm, and said with a smile, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m a murderer, but aren¡¯t you also one? Why do you think Luo Tao wanted to kill me so much back then? It was because I found out about your dirty and evil secrets. He wanted to kill me to silence me.¡±


    Yuan Chang quickly turned around to look at her. ¡°What do you mean?¡±


    ¡°You thought our first meeting was in our senior year of college? No, I knew you back in high school.¡± Xia Xiang gathered up her messy hair and had a nostalgic smile on her face. ¡°In the autumn of my junior year of high school, my parents and I quarreled about studying abroad, and I ran to an old city street, which was famous for being dirty and messy back then. When I passed by a small alley, I overheard a conversation between two people. Can you guess what they were talking about?¡±


    Yuan Chang stared. ¡°You were the shadow that ran away that day?¡±


    ¡°Yes, it was me. You seemed to have always thought that it was a stray cat who ran away. It¡¯s not bad. I like the term stray cat.¡± The smile on Xia Xiang¡¯s face disappeared, and she looked at him directly. ¡°At that time, I was wondering what kind of person could design such a wonderful murder n¡­ Yuan Chang, you didn¡¯t disappoint me. That fire was beautiful.¡±


    ¡°You¡­ You lunatic!¡± Yuan Chang was so stimted by the weird smile on her face that he took a step back.


    Xia Xiang looked at the sickbed again, and a trace of hatred shed in her eyes. ¡°Obviously, you were the prey I saw first. What qualifications did Luo Tao have to take you? He was infatuated with you. He helped you set the fire, helped you finish your studies, and finally, wanted to kill me to cover up your crime. Ah, in this world, infatuated people are more likely to suffer.¡± She took a switchde out of her pocket and opened it. ¡°So, Luo Tao, since you''ve already suffered, why didn''t you just ept it instead of crawling back out of hell?¡± As she said this, she lunged toward the sickbed.


    Yuan Chang was greatly rmed and rushed forward to stop her. The two suddenly started to wrestle with each other.


    The paper talisman began to move more violently. Ye Zhizhou, who was just watching the big show, saw this and quickly retreated to Cen Yuebai¡¯s side. He slowly spread out his spiritual power and surrounded the whole room, focusing on Xia Xiang, who was holding a weapon.


    The paper talisman violently shook again, and all of the paper talismans suddenly ignited, disappearing. Cen Yuebai ced thest copper coin and walked towards the door while holding Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand. The array had been set up. They could only wait until the invading soul couldn¡¯t stand the provocation and unmask his true nature. Only at that moment could they split the two souls.


    ¡°Where are you guys going?¡± Yuan Chang, in the middle of his scuffle, actually noticed the movements of the two and shouted, ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to leave! You guys want to stop Xiao Tao froming back, right? I won¡¯t allow it! You''re not allowed to leave!¡±


    Xia Xiang became even more excited when she heard this. With a twist of her hand, the sharp point of the knife cut a gash into Yuan Chang¡¯s body.


    Yuan Chang, in excruciating pain, directly shook her off of him. Xia Xiang was frightened by the blooding from his body and her hand shook, letting the switchde fall to the ground. Ye Zhizhou quickly ran up to snatch the switchde away before running back to Cen Yuebai to hold his hand to pull him out of the ward.


    Yin Feiyu, who was waiting outside, saw theme out and put down the record chart he was writing in. He pushed up his sses and asked, ¡°How sure are you?¡±


    ¡°80 percent, Luo Tao''s soul reaction was very strong.¡± Cen Yuebai frowned. He took the switchde from Ye Zhizhou''s hand and threw it aside. Then, he looked at Zhang Lin and Cao Yu. ¡°Are you guys prepared? This time, it might hurt a little.¡±


    The two people looked at each other carefully and then nodded. ¡°That''s ok, as long as we can help Xiao Lang.¡± After seeing the states of their souls, they have reflected on many things. After this is over, they will never act like before.


    Ye Zhizhou used his spiritual power to monitor the situation inside the room and used the system to check the amulet left on Fan Lang¡¯s sickbed. He began to quietly wait for the result. After deciding to let the several parties solve their grievances, Cen Yuebai came up with this more intense method of separating the souls. Ye Zhizhou hesitated, but looking at Fan Lang¡¯s innocence in this matter, he finally agreed. Yuan Chang and the others aren¡¯t innocent, so they might as well let them bite each other.<hr>


    This chapter was a bit too long for me to finish on time


    At least we¡¯re getting some action! Part 2 and then we¡¯re going into a new arc

 Chapter 91 part2

    Suddenly, Ye Zhizhou¡¯s cell phone rang. After a few short words, he hung up and looked at Cen Yuebai. ¡°It was the police. They said Luo Tao¡¯s body has been dug up.¡±


    Cen Yuebai nodded and pushed the door open to walk in. After saying a few words, he came back out and tore the red paper talisman in his hand. ¡°It¡¯s almost time to start.¡±


    Inside the room, Yuan Chang¡¯s rationality hadpletely snapped when he learned that Luo Tao¡¯s corpse was found. Suddenly, he rushed to Xia Xiang and grabbed her neck. ¡°You killed Xiao Tao, I''ll kill you!¡±


    ¡°Let¡­ go¡­ ¡± Xia Xiang struggled and kicked as she choked out, ¡°If you strangle me¡­ you¡­ will never know what¡­ Luo Tao said before he died¡­¡±


    Yuan Chang¡¯s pupils shrank and as if he had been stabbed, he quickly released her. His hands went up to grab her shoulders and he shook her desperately. ¡°What did Xiao Tao say? Tell me, what did he say!¡±


    Xia Xiang was shaken to the point where she felt faint. She sneered. ¡°He said¡ª¡±


    ¡°I said I don¡¯t want to meet you in the next life, and I regret knowing you in this life.¡±


    A strange male voice interrupted their conversation. Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang were shocked and turned their heads to look at the sickbed where the voice came from.


    Fan Lang stiffly sat up from the bed. He nced at them with a cold and hateful smile. ¡°Five years? Or was it six years? I spent every day and night under the cold ground looking forward to the day when I could return to the human world. It¡¯s really great ah¡­ Really nice to see you guys so soon. I guess that loathsome Taoist priest that wants to kill me still had some kindness.¡±


    Yuan Chang stared at him and got up to walk a few steps forward. He asked while trembling, ¡°Xiao Tao? You¡­ are you Xiao Tao? You really¡­ really came back? Ghosts actually exist in this world?¡±


    Xia Xiang cried out in shock and ran to the door of the room.


    ¡°Yuan Chang.¡± Fan Lang looked at him with a smile and stretched out his hand toward him. ¡°Chang Chang, you said that you would be with me forever as long as I woke up, was that true?¡±


    ¡°Yes, of course.¡± Yuan Chang stumbled over to hold his hand and raised his hand to stroke his eyes. ¡°Xiao Tao, I¡¯ve been thinking about you every day these years, but I didn¡¯t dare to go find you¡­ I didn¡¯t know that Xia Xiang killed you. I¡¯m sorry. You can me me. I¡¯m sorry. ¡±


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Fan Lang gently touched Yuan Chang''s face and slowly got closer to him. ¡°Of course, we will be together forever, never separating again."


    <span>Xia Xiang, who was currently twisting the door handle, jolted and then tightened her grip.


    <span>Outside the door, Zhang Lin and Cao Yu once again cut their fingers and pressed it on the paper talisman. They started to rey day-to-day memories in their heads.


    <span>Ye Zhizhou anxiously paid close attention to the situation inside and unconsciously tapped at the small mirror in his pocket.


    Tongtian didn''t like being disturbed and a light screen popped up [ Asking Host to please calm down. ]


    Ye Zhizhou continued to tap the mirror. This big drama of a ghost and human''s unfulfilled feelings was still going on, how could he calm down!


    Inside the room, Fan Lang''s movement towards Yuan Chang suddenly stopped and his expression twisted for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He nced at Xia Xiang from the corner of his eye, and then lowered his head to kiss Yuan Chang¡¯s forehead. His voice became more gentle. ¡°Chang Chang, I love you.¡±


    Yuan Chang¡¯s eyes became red-rimmed. He put his arms around Fan Lang and kissed his ears and neck. He couldn¡¯t help saying, ¡°I know, I know, I love you, too. I have always loved you.¡±


    Xia Xiang slowly loosened her hand on the door handle, straightened up and reached into her pocket.


    Fan Lang¡¯s eyes had a dark glint. He lowered his head to also kiss Yuan Chang¡¯s neck while reaching back and hugging him with an intimate and ambiguous attitude. ¡°If you¡¯re with me, then what about your wife and children?¡±


    ¡°I only want you. Just you." Yuan Chang became even more excited and hugged him harder. ¡°I regret it. I shouldn¡¯t have separated from you back then. I love you.¡±


    Xia Xiang turned around and looked at them coldly. Suddenly, she took out another switchde from her pocket and rushed towards them. ¡°Bastards! I want your lives!¡±


    Yuan Chang heard this and wanted to turn around to stop her, but Fan Lang suddenly tightened his hug, making it impossible for him to move. ¡°Xiao Tao, let go of me. Xia Xiang, she¡¯s gone crazy. You¡­¡±


    The smile on Fan Lang¡¯s face grewrger, and his gaze was fixed on Xia Xiang¡¯s rapidly approaching switchde. He happily said, ¡°Didn''t you say you would be with me forever? That loathsome Taoist priest outside is trying to find a way to kill me. Every way leads to death. Why don¡¯t you apany me down, en?¡±


    The switchde stabbed straight at Yuan Chang¡¯s back, but when it was at a distance of about ten centimeters, it was blocked by an invisible barrier. There was a loud sound of metal clinking, and the tip of the switchde broke.


    ¡°How¡¯s this possible¡­¡± Xia Xiang¡¯s crazed expression froze and Fan Lang¡¯s gleeful expression from his revenge seeding disappeared. Yuan Chang, who was trapped in Fan Lang¡¯s arms, hurriedly pushed him away while he was distracted. ¡°Xiao Tao, you actually want me to die¡­ No, you''re not Xiao Tao, you''re not! He wouldn''t do that to me!¡±


    Now!


    Cen Yuebai¡¯s gaze sharpened. He quickly moved the copper coin hanging on the door, and then pulled out a simple dagger, stabbing it into the eye of the soul dividing array. Zhang Lin and Cao Yu, who were currently recalling their easy and carefree days, let out a groan. Their faces turned pale and their foreheads began to release cold sweat.


    Ye Zhizhou¡¯s heart rate rose, and his spiritual power in the room became alert.


    Fan Lang, who had been pushed away, suddenly grabbed his head and screamed. His facial expression began to change rapidly, and he was spewing out disjointed and unclear sentences. ¡°Where is this? Who are you guys¡­ Yuan Chang, you can¡¯t get rid of me. I want you to go to hell with me¡­ Ah, my head hurts, doctor! Doctor!¡±


    A burst of cold wind suddenly blew by and Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang¡¯s bodies uncontrobly stiffened and began to shiver. Fan Lang, who was holding his head and mumbling, rolled his eyes back and fell to the ground. It was obviously afternoon time when the sunlight was perfect, but the light in the room suddenly became darker. After the burst of cold wind, which could make a person¡¯s teeth ache, a hoarse voice rang out, ¡°Yuan Chang, Xia Xiang,e down to hell with me, together¡­¡±


    Xia Xiang screamed and directly fainted.


    Yuan Chang looked at the room ceiling in horror, and his voice became strange due to fear. ¡°Xiao¡­ Xiao Tao¡­ Be rest assured that I''ll avenge you. Y-you can go on in peace¡­"


    There was another burst of cold wind, the hoarse voice disappeared, the temperature in the room gradually picked up, and the light became brighter.


    ¡°Xiao¡­ Xiao Tao?¡± Yuan Chang probingly called out but didn''t get a response. The fear on his face turned into anxiety and he shouted, ¡°Xiao Tao? Xiao Tao, don¡¯t go¡­ Xiao Tao!¡±


    Outside of the room, Cen Yuebai pulled out the dagger and nodded toward Ye Zhizhou.


    Ye Zhizhou let out a sigh of relief. Then, he fed Anshen pills to Zhang Lin and Cao, who had copsed on the ground, wiped their sweat and sat down on the bench outside of the room. It¡¯s finally done¡­ No, why hasn¡¯t the love probability for Yuan Wei and Yuan Yao decreased?


    Yin Feiyu pushed the room door open and went in to check. He came out and said, ¡°They all fainted and Fan Lang¡¯s soul is back to what it used to look like. There are no problems."


    Hearing this, Ye Zhizhou scratched his head in doubt. Luo Tao¡¯s soul has been separated from Fan Lang¡¯s body and destroyed. But why haven''t the soul gs been pulled out? Strange.


    Half an hourter, the police rushed over and took Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang away. With the evidence of their fraudulent practices that Ye Zhizhou found with his spiritual power, their names will never be cleared.


    After Cen Yuebai finished packing up his things, he saw that Ye Zhizhou was still sitting on the bench with his face wrinkled. He went to touch his forehead and asked with concern, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Yuebai.¡± He looked up and asked seriously, ¡°If, and I mean if¡­ After Luo Tao¡¯s soul merging failed this time, is there still a possibility of him merging into another person''s body?"


    ¡°That''s impossible. Soul merging harms the soul. There won''t be a second chance with another body." Cen Yuebai sat beside him and brought Ye Zhizhou into his arms, patting him on the shoulderfortingly. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking this? Do you think that Luo Tao hasn¡¯t disappeared?¡±


    ¡°¡­Maybe I¡¯m just thinking too much.¡± He turned off the system information, still feeling a bit unsure in his heart. The two remaining soul gs were motionless, so he still felt that something was wrong.


    ¡°It''s impossible for the souls to be in harmony.¡± Cen Yuebai seemed to think of something and said, ¡°Some of the more vicious and obsessive souls can temporarily live in someone else¡¯s body. If that living person doesn¡¯t try to expel them, they can coexist, but this situation is very rare. Even if the two souls do manage to coexist, both of their chances for reincarnation will be gone.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was shocked at hearing this and was just about to say something when a system prompt suddenly popped up. [The probability of Yuan Wei, Yuan Yao and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fifth and sixth soul gs have been pulled out again. Congrattions to the host. The task of this world has been aplished. Does Host wish to enter the next world? ]


    Seeing that Ye Zhizhou¡¯s body stiffened, Cen Yuebai hurriedly lowered his head to look at him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Do you suspect that Luo Tao hid in Yuan Chang or Xia Xiang¡¯s body?¡±


    ¡°It''s nothing.¡± Ye Zhizhou rxed his body, selected ¡®No¡¯ in his heart and shook his head. ¡°I was overthinking things¡­ Let¡¯s go, I¡¯m hungry. Let¡¯s go get dinner.¡± In the original plot, Luo Tao¡¯s soul wasn¡¯t powerful. It took more than 20 years to sessfully merge souls with Fan Lang. He shouldn¡¯t be so powerful to be able to escape and hide again¡­ If he really did hide in Yuan Chang or Xia Xiang¡¯s body, then it¡¯s fine to let them continue their dogfight.


    In the police car, the listless Yuan Chang suddenly moved, looking up at the car''s rearview mirror with a sinister smile on his lips.


    ¡°Yuan Chang, you said it. We¡¯ll stay together forever. Don''t even think of getting rid of me.¡±<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Junshi and Wound¡ã for thend mine! I love you so much =3=</strong>

    Wooow, that ending tho¡­..


    New arc!! Divi¡¯s excited about it

 Chapter 92

    Yuan Chang and Xia Xiang both pleaded guilty soon after they entered the police station. What awaited them was a long stay in prison.


    One monthter, Fan Lang was discharged from the hospital; three yearster, Su Yu finally caught Shen Mengxi; five yearster, Shen Zixia married a cheerful girl he met while traveling; ten yearster, Xia Xiangmitted suicide in prison; fifteen yearster, Yuan Chang suddenly died in prison, in a distorted shape.


    Decadester, Ye Zhizhou took Cen Yuebai¡¯s hand, helped him arrange his hair and smiled. "Go, I¡¯ll be right down to apany you.¡±


    ¡°Xiao Zhou.¡± Cen Yuebai caught his finger and said, "We are fated to be together for many lives¡­ Next life¡­ too¡­ wait for me¡­ ¡±


    ¡°I will.¡± Heid next to his lover and pulled his hand onto his waist. ¡°We will always be together.¡±


    The two closed their eyes at the same time, the sun gradually sank below the horizon, and darkness fell.


    ¡¾Wee to Dreaming Continent. Please create your character. ¡¿


    The darkness was dispelled by warm light, and Ye Zhizhou opened his eyes in confusion. He discovered that he was standing on a round and gorgeous stone tform. His upper body was naked and his lower body was only covered by a pair of underpants. There was a beautiful river not far from the tform, and there were rows of beautiful wooden houses farther away. Turning around, he looked back and found arge number of trees as far as he could see. As he looked around, the darkness had gone awaypletely. At this time, it was a beautiful spring day with a blue sky full of white clouds. Overall, it was a delightful scene to see.


    He wanted to step off the tform and go look at the wooden houses, but he was blocked by an invisible barrier around the stone tform.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Tongtian?¡±


    In front of his eyes, something simr to a character panel suddenly popped up. In the corner was a small package icon that shed a couple of times before it automatically popped open. A unique game inventory window appeared in front of him. Inside the inventory window was a small pink-handled mirror with wings.


    ¡°¡­¡± He really didn''t want to admit that this little eye-catching styled thing is Tongtian.


    The little mirror began to shine¡ªa rainbow shine even.


    ¡­ As expected, it''s Tongtian.


    He tapped the grid and his hand became slightly heavier. The small mirror appeared in his hand.


    ¡°Tongtian?¡±


    <span>The small mirror''s feathered wings moved, a light screen popped up, and information started to pour out.


    <span>It''s still the same recipe and still the same taste. He rxed and turned to sit cross-legged on the stone tform, wordlessly rubbing his cold butt before opening the information.


    <span>The protagonist of this world is called Jun Shujing. Her legs were slightly disabled, so she stays at home all year round. She has a rich father who runs a restaurant chain but is too busy to care about her. What¡¯s worse is that she also has a stepmother who doesn¡¯t like this daughter from the former marriage, an idiotic younger brother and a younger sister who is very astute and excellent.


    She was depressed and awfully resentful. She really wanted to learn how to cook, be an excellent chef and then inherit her father¡¯s restaurant but she couldn¡¯t. From the start, her stepmother refused to let her into the kitchen at all because of her physical condition.


    When she was 20 years old, Liang Feng enterprise released a new holographic game that boasted a real-life simtion of up to 80%. No matter what you were like in reality, as long as you were 18 years old or older and had a stable mind, you could experience the wonderful life you couldn¡¯t have in reality, in-game.


    Jun Shujing, who had a disability in her leg, was very moved. She quickly ordered a game pod and started her in-game journey. When the stepmother saw that she was no longer repeatedly asking to enter the kitchen, she became very satisfied and didn''t care about her game addicted behavior.


    In the game, the protagonist was no longer disabled, no longer feeling inferior and had the opportunity to learn how to cook. Other people were all upgrading their fighting skills after entering the game, but only she immediately went to the life skills teacher to learn cooking. She began to practice hard. Jun Shujin had a cookbook left to her by her dead mother; her father and stepmother had no idea about it. After hiding this secret for more than ten years, she was finally able to take out this cookbook to study it.


    Learning the in-game cooking skills weren''t much easier than learning how to cook in real life, but she gritted her teeth and endured it. After making her first dish, she became the first person to awaken the cooking skills in the entire game, receiving a generous reward from the game¡¯s system. She was also surprised to find that, as long as the dishes were made ording to the recipes in the cookbook, the finished products would have all kinds of buffing effects!


    Why does it matter if she leveled up slowly? She could make money by being a life skills yer!


    With these recipes in hand, the whole realm will be hers.


    She quickly climbed to the top of the game¡¯s wealth rankings, ruthlessly trampling on the elites of major families in reality, who hade to experience life in the game for themselves. With this game being 80% simr to real life, there was a huge market represented in this vast world¡ªit was too alluring. The elites were curious about the protagonist who had quickly seized the culinary market and began to investigate her one after another.


    The protagonist waspletely unaware of this. She was busy opening a snack bar, a small restaurant, and then a bigger restaurant. After making money, she bought a building, thennd and even abor union to invite employees. Her development in-game went smoothly the whole way. Without much effort, she captured the first male lead, the number one yer on the level rankings, Ye Tang, with a meal.


    Some people were interested in the protagonist, so naturally, others were dissatisfied with her as well. The most resentful one was Fu Xia, the young miss of the Fu family that specializes in gourmet food. She also learned cooking as soon as she entered the game and already had a basic knowledge of cooking and her family support, yet unexpectedly, she wasn¡¯t as good as the protagonist in all aspects. Even if the dishes were made with the same secret recipe, the results weren¡¯t as good as the protagonist¡¯s dishes! The buffs from the protagonist¡¯s dishes were all buffs that had never been seen before.


    She was discontented and felt defeated. In the midst of this, Qi Xing, the young master of the spice family who she was secretly in love with, began to notice the protagonist. She became jealous and started to have bad intentions, wanting to dig a pit for the Jun Shujing. But in-game, apart from killing someone to vent their anger, which would easily expose her, there were very few low-key methods of cheating someone. Furthermore, it¡¯s not like the in-game products would have any quality problems¡­ So, in the end, she became the protagonist¡¯s best friend.


    Jun Shujing had no friends in reality because of her disability, so she gave 120% of her heart to the friends she made in-game and wasn''t very guarded against them. About a monthter, her recipe was leaked out. She was shocked and very sad because she found out that the person who leaked the recipe was Fu Xia, a good friend she had just made.


    At this point, Qi Xing was already familiar with the protagonist. Learning about this matter, he became angry and rmed. Enraged, he ran to teach Fu Xia a lesson before alienating her. He became the story¡¯s second male lead. Fu Xia was very sad, shouting that she was wronged but no one believed her. Her grievance at being wrongly used and her hatred for Jun Shujing merged and so, she found someone to kill the protagonist¡¯s character down to a nk te. However, she forgot that the protagonist also had the number one yer on the level rankings, Ye Tang, beside her. Thus, when he found out that the protagonist had been killed, he ran to kill Fu Xia constantly until she quit the game.


    The issue of the recipe leaking turned into such a big fuss that the elites of big families, who couldn¡¯t discover her identity in real life, became even more curious about her.


    Furthermore, they found out that the products made by others wouldn¡¯t have any kind of buff effect, even if they followed the recipe!


    The elites were excited and also attracted by the protagonist. They lined up to get a male lead number card, and one by one fell to their knees under the protagonist¡¯s cooking skill.


    Ye Zhizhou was speechless. You could y a game in this way? Were all of the male leads of this world mentally retarded?


    It turned out that, no, the male leads weren¡¯t mentally retarded. In fact, they were all very powerful in reality. The first male lead Ye Tang, whose real name was Tang Ye, was the great young master and future sessor of the Tang Family and made his fortune off fitness equipment. The second male lead, Qi Xing, was the most talented spice maker and sessor of the spice family. The third male lead, Shi Zhe, was the young master of a medical family, who was also studying medicine and cured the protagonist¡¯s leg disability in the future. The fourth male lead, Jiang Bo, had a family that sold jewelry and was so rich that he could burn money every day. The fifth male lead, He Nian, came from a new family that made electronic devices and developed rapidly. The sixth male lead, Sun Fanchen, came from a family that ran a real estatepany and could live in a different house 365 days of the year, very cool and awesome. The seventh male lead, Bao Yan''an, came from a family that owned clothing brands¡­ En, the clothes that the protagonist wears for the rest of her life was supplied by him.


    The seven male leads fell in love with a girl they met in-game, all at the same time¡­ Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t understand this world¡¯s male leads at all.


    With the help and support of seven male leads, the female protagonist''s development in-game went even more smoothly, allowing her to firmly upy the number one seat on the wealth rankings.


    Half a yearter, the game opened a currency conversion service to convert in-game gold to real-life cash. The protagonist immediately changed from first on the wealth rankings in-game to an extremely wealthy woman in the real world. She was no longer satisfied with being sessful only in-game. Remembering her disability in the real world, and the male leads¡¯ outstanding identities, all sorts of feelings welled up in her heart. Finally, on a dark and windy night, she hardened her heart and sold off all of her in-game money. Taking therge amount of cash she converted, she began to develop in the real world. She wanted to wait until her status had improved before she found the male leads in the real world.


    Afterwards, the male leads became anxious and worried, so they began to investigate her crazily. However, Liang Feng enterprise did a good job of keeping customer information confidential, making it so the male leads couldn¡¯t obtain any information about her. At this time, in the real world, the protagonist had secretly left home with a lot of money. On one hand, she was searching for a hospital to treat her legs, on the other hand, she quietly: opened a snack bar, opened a restaurant, bought a house, boughtnd, bought buildings, and recruited employees.


    The sess in-game was quickly replicated in reality. The gourmet Fu family took the lead in noticing the protagonist¡¯s restaurant, which developed so rapidly and violently. They secretly sent someone to try the dishes at the restaurant and the person they sent was Fu Xia! With just one bite, she recognized the skill of the protagonist. Instantly, both new and old hatred surged in her heart and she began to use many ways to suppress and beat down the protagonist.


    Reality and games were different, thus, under Fu Xia¡¯s pressure, the protagonist¡¯s career came to a premature end. At this time, the protagonist¡¯s stepmother happened to find out that the protagonist had secretly left home to open a restaurant. She was astonished and she ran to report it to the protagonist¡¯s father! And so, the issue of her concealing her dead mother¡¯s recipe book was revealed, and the story of her making a great deal of money in the game was also exposed. She was taken home, had her game pod confiscated and her life became very difficult.


    Fortunately, the protagonist¡¯s father wasn''t so heartless. Knowing that she wanted to cure her leg, he contacted a hospital and sent her there. There, the protagonist met Shi Zhe, the third male lead, for the first time in the real world and the two quickly recognized each other.


    After learning about the protagonist¡¯s tragic experiences during this period, Shi Zhe was very angry. He spared no expense to cure the protagonist¡¯s leg and then informed the six other male leads about finding the protagonist. They joined hands to help the protagonist break away from the shackles of her family and develop her career again. And so, the protagonist began to flourish again. Fu Xia was shocked when she found this out and wanted to suppress her again, however, the protagonist who was supported by the male leads fought back. In the end, Fu Xia¡¯s entire family became involved and soon her family was ruined and gradually declined¡­


    Seeing that the protagonist was developing well, her family went to find her, wanting to profit off of her, but at this point, the protagonist had already given up all hope on her family and she directly drove them away. Her half-sister tried to seduce the male leads but failed and was met with the furious protagonist, who humiliated and beat her into the ground.


    Up to the point he read to, all the bad guys have been finished. The protagonist¡¯s love and career were both fruitful and she achieved her life''s goal.


    Ye Zhizhou stopped scrolling through the information, and after a short pause, he looked around again. He asked tentatively, ¡°So, right now, I¡¯m in the game?¡±


    The light screen stayed on the plot information, not responding to him. Instead, a transparent rainbow-colored line of characters appeared in the air in front of him.


    ¡¾ Wee to Dreaming Continent. Please build your character. ¡¿


    In his actual world, holographic games had be popr, but he never yed them. So at this time, this was a somewhat novel experience. He opened the nk character panel and looked at it. He reluctantly suppressed his curiosity, poked Tongtian and asked, ¡°What''s the identity of the body I''m using in this world?¡±


    [Fu Ximing, Fu Xia¡¯s older brother, and the sessor of the Fu family. ]


    As expected, it''s a buying soy sauce cannon fodder character again.


    The rainbow characters floating in the air changed, and a new prompted appeared.


    ¡¾ If a character is not created within 30 minutes, the yer will be forced offline. Please create a character. ¡¿


    He squinted at the big rainbow characters in the air for a moment, and then looked at the system data for a bit. With an interesting smile on his lips, he asked, ¡°Can you set your appearance in this game?¡±

    Very good! He quickly stood up and followed the game prompt to create a character. Soon, a handsome young man named Ye Zhizhou appeared in front of him, and the game prompt appeared again ¡¾ Characterpleted. Confirm character? ¡¿


    He quickly tapped yes, and then entered the game after selecting his race and distributing the basic skill points¡ªthe protagonist''s skill of making people unable to forget her cooking after eating just one dish, he can¡¯t wait to taste it. Also, without the use of his spiritual power in this game world, can his lover recognize him quickly? He doesn¡¯t know who his lover is in this life¡­ But, he must y this game.<hr>

    GAME ARC GAME ARC! Did YZZ set his character with this actual apperance¡­we¡¯ll see soon

 Chapter 93

    The setting of ¡¶ Dreaming Continent ¡· was very close to the real world, but unlike the real world, there was a powerful human enemy¡ªZerg. The yers could choose from three different races when creating their characters: Spirit, Demon and Human. The Spirit race specialized in healing and MT rted sses. The Demon race preferred long-range attackers. The Human race was more bnced and could choose any ss, but as a result, it wasn¡¯t specialized in anything. In general, most life skill yers chose the Human race.


    Ye Zhizhou, dressed in robes and holding an ancient sword, stood in the middle of a small modernized vige, the wind was blowing around chaotically. Who came up with this weird hodgepodge of a game? It¡¯s inconceivable how many people still y it.


    An auntie walking her dog came to the vige entrance, stopped beside him and said, ¡°Oh, a new adventurer, just in time. My daughter is bringing her boyfriend backter. I have to hurry back and cook. Can you help me walk Wang Cai?¡±


    ¡¾<em> Quest triggered¡ªAunt Wang¡¯s Request: Take Wang Cai for a walk outside the vige and feed him. ept this quest? </em>¡¿


    This style really makes a person feel ufortable.


    He epted the quest, then took the rope leash from Aunt Wang¡¯s hand. With a displeased face, he walked out of the vige.


    Walking a dog was very simple. Hepleted that part of the task by walking the dog a few times around the river outside the vige, but feeding the dog was very hard. As a novice, he was fresh into the game and had no money on hand. After searching outside of the vige for a while, he extended his sinful empty hands to fish in the river outside of the vige and caught a pheasant in the forest. Half an hourter, he fed Wang Cai with some fresh grilled fish and beggar¡¯s chicken. He received a skill book¡ªBeginner Cooking.


    So it turns out, you could actually activate cooking skills in this way, not very hard¡­ He read the skill book, went to find Aunt Wang to give back Wang Cai, and then received a new task¡ªPrepare a satisfactory dinner for Aunt Wang¡¯s family. Thinking of the protagonist''s golden finger, the Imperial Feast recipe book, with a wave of his hand, he made a real Imperial Feast with the materials provided by Aunt Wang.


    ¡¾ <em>yer Ye Zhizhou has triggered a holy level quest¡ªAwakening of the Kitchen God. The game is about to force update. Asking yers to please log off within half an hour. The expected update time is 12 hours. A new version will soon be avable, please look forward to it.</em> ¡¿


    Ye Zhizhou, who was about to look for Aunt Wang toplete the task, was blinded by the golden font that suddenly appeared in the air. Then, a translucent panel suddenly popped up from the lower right corner, and the words on it were wildly rolling.


    <strong>Loves to eat Crayfish:</strong> WTF! Holy quest! Isn¡¯t that a hidden quest? So hidden quests can trigger the game to update?


    <strong>Angel Wings:</strong> Who is Ye Zhizhou? Which food God is it? It can''t be our family''s darling Jing Shu''s side ount?


    <strong>Underpants Leak Wind:</strong> Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion opened a new ce in M city today. God Jing Shu probably doesn¡¯t have time to y.


    <strong>The Old Rogue of Literature and Art:</strong> Insider info, after the Awakening the Kitchen God quest ispleted, all the food in the game will have additional attributes. Jing Shu, that profiteer, will no longer be the only one. So please, Brother Ye, work hard, and finish the quest quickly!


    <strong>Chrysanthemum Eye:</strong> What?! All foods will have additional attributes?! Oh my god, this is great news, everyone should rejoice!


    <span>Ye Zhizhou raised his head to look at the golden characters that were still floating in the air. He recalled the plot information carefully, and a corner of his mouth quirked up. In the original plot, only the protagonist''s food had additional attributes. It seems like this kind of quest didn''t appear¡­ Is the power of an authentic Imperial Feast this strong?


    Suddenly, there was a flurry of game alert panels. Arge number of friend requests popped up, cascading around him and forming a denseyer that blocked the light.


    World channel.


    <strong>Loves to eat Crayfish:</strong> WTF! The person who triggered the quest is a newbie. I searched him up. Ye Zhizhou is only level 1! The holy level quest seems to require him to beat the Zerg queen. He''s only a level 1¡­ WTF fuck fuck fuck!


    <strong>The Old Rogue of Literature and Art:</strong> What?! Level 1?


    <strong>Chrysanthemum Eye:</strong> No! Can you ask for help with this quest? Is there a time limit? Kneeling and pleading for the Gods on the ranking board to help!


    Another panel popped up with a bunch of private chats from other yers. Ye Zhizhou wiped his cold sweat and quickly looked for a way to turn off the chat panel. Then, he went to find Aunt Wang to finish the task before logging off. This development was totally different from what he expected, he needs to calm down.


    After a slight sense of weightlessness, the game scene in front of him became the roof of the dark game pod. He pulled off the connecting cable and opened the game pod. He sat up and picked up his phone to check the time. It was only four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. He frowned. It¡¯s strange that the hard-working and steady original host would be at home ying games at 4 pm.


    Stepping out of the game pod, he sat down on the bed and opened the system information to check the plot timeline. A minuteter, he fell back onto the bed and covered his face with a pillow.


    No wonder the original host was ying a game¡­ The Fu family has already been ruined by the protagonist and the several male leads to the point where they almost can''t hold on. The original host had probably wanted to save the family in a roundabout way by ying the game¡­ Then, this means that the protagonist is already together with several male leads¡­


    The rear pce has already been finished! How was he supposed to pull out these gs!


    Throwing the pillow away and sitting up, he opened the system again and looked at the part of the plot where the world ended.


    After the protagonist and the male leads got together, in order tomemorate how they met and fell in love, she put forth arge amount of money to establish a gamepany, preparing to make her own holographic game. Ten yearster, the game was officiallyunched and the response was very warm. Three months after that, the first batch of game pods in the market suddenly had problems¡ªall users who had used these game pods fell into aa. Another month afterwards, theatose yers all became brain dead, and the protagonist was pushed to the heart of the problem.


    The game was urgently shut down and all game pods and helmets were recalled. The protagonist and the male leads''pany fell into a crisis. The relevant departments incessantly came knocking on their door to warn them, making their lives a mess.


    The protagonist was utterly panic-stricken and the seven male leads were hard-pressed. With their increasingly tense domestic situation, the male leads secretly sent the protagonist abroad to avoid the limelight. The protagonist, who was sent away, once again showed off her protagonist halo and gained the attention of Political Leader A and Munitions Tycoon B with her cooking skills. It seemed like the harem was going to add new people until Munitions Tycoon B unexpectedly copsed and died whilepeting against Political Leader A for the protagonist!


    Munitions Tycoon B¡¯s loyal dog subordinate was very sad to learn about his death and began to take revenge on the protagonist and Political Leader A.


    An assassination that could ur at any time, the jealous criticism that came from the male leads in her home country and the game that was supposed to be a symbol of their love turned into a life-ruining burden¡­ Her life was utterly destroyed, and the protagonist fell apart. She abandoned everything, changed her name and ran to a small country to live in seclusion.


    After assassinating Political Leader A, the loyal dog, who couldn¡¯t find any trace of the protagonist, fell into a frenzy. He was so desperate that he even cooperated with an evil war cult lunatic andunched a war against the small country where the protagonist hid.


    The war lunatic, who was supplied plenty of weapons and ammunition, tasted the sweetness and took advantage of the loyal dog subordinate¡¯s moment of weakness to brainwash and control him. From then on, with therge supply of weapons and ammunition, the war never stopped. In just a dozen years, the small-scale wars had expanded to half of the earth. In the next few decades, the loyal dog died and the war lunatic became fully insane. With the help of the war lunatic''s cult believers, they tore up the stalemate situation at that time with suicide attacks and plunged all countries into war. Five yearster, a world war broke out and the evil war cult lunatic took hisst breath in front of the loyal dog¡¯s grave. After another few decades, the world ended.


    Ye Zhizhou stopped moving the hand that was flipping through the plot data and raised it to cover his forehead. Since they¡¯re going to fight, either way, they might as well fight until the world is destroyed.


    The door of the room was suddenly pushed open and a beautiful looking woman stood at the entrance with her head down. She sobbed. ¡°Brother, it¡¯s useless¡­ Even going into the game is useless¡­ It¡¯s all my fault. If at that time, I didn¡¯t offend Jun Shujing, it¡¯s all my¡­¡±


    From the system¡¯s data and after looking through the original host¡¯s memories, Ye Zhizhou¡¯s expression eased. He got up, walked over, patted her hair and said, ¡°Xiao Xia, don¡¯t me yourself. It¡¯ll get better, believe in me.¡±


    ¡°Brother, let me marry Wang Shu.¡± Fu Xia looked up at him, though her eyes were red, they were very firm. ¡°As long as I marry him, with the funding, the family¡¯s broken chain can be saved. Brother won''t be troubled any more, father and mother wouldn''t have to beg for help everywhere, and the old shop that grandfather always thinks about won''t have to be sold, as long as I¡­¡­¡±


    ¡°Stop it!¡± Ye Zhizhou calmly interrupted her words, feeling the powerlessness and anger of the original host. ¡°My Fu family isn''t so bad off that they need to sell their daughter to survive! I don¡¯t want to hear this kind of talk again! Wang Shu, that kind of scum, don''t even think about marrying him!"


    ¡°But what about the family!¡± Fu Xia¡¯s eyes widened, trying hard to not let her tears fall. Her shoulders shook constantly. ¡°I heard it. Mom and Dad want to sell our ancestral secret recipe for money! The family has been keeping this recipe a secret and were always unwilling to take it out to use! Just because of me¡­ Just because of me¡­ Brother! I don¡¯t want that! I don¡¯t want that!¡±


    ¡°Then you''d better work hard and not let our parents worry about you!¡± Ye Zhizhou red at her, took out a list from his pocket, stuffed it into her hand, and waved at her to leave. ¡°Go, take this to Mom and Dad. Don''t we still have some old restaurants? Have them follow this recipe to make new dishes.¡±


    Fu Xia was stunned. She lowered her head and opened the list in her hand. Her eyes then widened in shock. ¡°Brother, Im-Imperial feast recipes?! And they''re also ones that have never been seen before. Where did you get these from?¡±


    Originally, he made up this Imperial Feast recipe to trick his lover for fun¡­ Of course, he couldn¡¯t answer that.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I leave the province a while ago? This was what I was looking for.¡± He saw that Fu Xia¡¯s eyes were fixed on the recipe and didn¡¯t move. Ye Zhizhou rxed his expression and continued, ¡°In the evening, call all of the cooks from the old restaurants toe over. Let¡¯s study this recipe carefully. I¡¯ll find a way to solve the money problem. Give me a few days and I promise to make it up for you, en?¡±


    ¡°Brother¡­¡± Fu Xia raised her eyes to look at him, wanting to smile but shamefully cried instead. She went up to him and hugged him with all her strength and sobbed. ¡°Why are you my blood brother? I want to marry you, brother¡­ Wa, brother you''re too good.¡±


    This kind of childlike crying¡­ He raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder tofort her. ¡°Alright alright, you¡¯re already this big and still cry like this. Isn¡¯t it too disgraceful? This will all pass. Don¡¯t cry.¡±


    Fu Xia heard his words and simply started to wail at the top of her lungs.


    This was truly¡­ He removed his hand from her shoulder and leaned on the door frame. He opened up the system information in his mind and squinted at the light screen that popped up mid-air. Seven male leads and seven soul gs¡­ If his suspicion was correct, these gs could all be pulled out at once.<hr>

 Chapter 94 part1

    Before dinner, all of the chefs from the old restaurants rushed over when they received the news. The Fu family was very grateful that they had chosen to stay during such a difficult time, but they didn¡¯t express their thanks excessively. Everyone still interacted just like before.


    ¡°Ximing, where did you get this recipe from?¡± The most experienced chef opened his mouth, his expression showed some excitement.


    ¡°I bought it from an old man. His sons and daughters were unfilial and wanted to take the recipe to sell it but he wasn''t willing. So, he set up a small challenge arena on the street. He said that he would sell the recipe to whoever could make the dishes from it to his satisfaction. I was curious, so I went to try it and he sold it to me.¡± Ye Zhizhou spoke nonsense with a serious expression and eyes full of sincerity. These old cooks were all human beings so they would be more likely to believe it if he made it sound unconventional.


    Sell for money, sell for money! All people know is to sell for money! Your ancestral crafts aren¡¯t just something you can sell!¡± A more grumpy chef directly pped the table and shouted, staring at the Fu couple as he said it. Obviously, this was said for them to hear.


    The Fu couple coughed ufortably and looked towards the sky. On this issue, it really was them who didn''t think it through clearly¡­


    The most experienced chef looked at the recipe again and asked seriously, ¡°Ximing, can you make the <span>dishes from this recipe?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ye Zhizhou nodded and then smiled modestly. ¡°But, I¡¯m sure the dishes won''t be as good,pared to all of yours, uncles.¡± As the sessor of a gourmet family, his cooking skill could be subpar, but he must be able to cook. More importantly, he must be able to eat. The original host had always paid great attention to this aspect and his cooking skill could be considered decent.


    ¡°Then, you can go make a tableful of dishes for us to taste in advance. There are some parts of the recipe that are vague, so we have to slowly refine it.¡± The old chef handed over the recipe list and took the lead in standing up. ¡°Go. Let¡¯s go to the kitchen, everyone.¡±


    Everyone got up one by one after hearing this. The expressions on their faces were much more rxed,pletely different from their previous worried and anxious expressions.


    Because it was written to fool his lover, some steps on the recipe that showed the level of heat and the measurements of the specific ingredients were really vague. While he was making the dishes, Ye Zhizhou intentionally reduced or increased the number of ingredients, letting the old chefs see the obvious mistakes. He always kept the cooking level at the same level as the original host.


    It took about two hours to make a whole table of Imperial Feast dishes. The chefs picked up their chopsticks to taste the dishes one by one, exchanging their thoughts with each other. As they became excited, they directly rushed into the kitchen to practice. The lights in the Fu family¡¯s kitchen were on all night and fragrance after fragrance floated out, making the neighbors unable to sleep well that night.


    Before dawn the next morning, Ye Zhizhou left the Fu¡¯s house with his luggage and took a bus to the airport.


    There were three main reasons why the Fu family ended up in this kind of situation. One of the issues was their funds, another was problems with their ingredient suppliers, and third, was that the location of the new restaurant opened by the protagonist basically ovepped with the Fu family¡¯s restaurant. Moreover, the protagonist intentionally set up a restaurant near the Fu family and stole most of their business. The Fu family¡¯s Fu Yuan and the protagonist¡¯s Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion were like McD** and KF* of some other world. Wherever you open a new shop, I¡¯ll open one next door just to pester you to the end of the world. From this point of view, the protagonist¡¯s intention to suppress the Fu family was too obvious.


    Presently, the Fu family only has a few old restaurants which mainly focused on imperial dishes, but the protagonist still wouldn¡¯t let go of them. She even went as far as paying a high price to buy out a store near their old restaurants to open her own high-grade restaurants, that also focused on imperial dishes. For example, the recently opened Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion in M city just happened to be right next to the Fu family¡¯s restaurant. The scent of the challenge was really strong. If the protagonist continued like this, the Fu family would really be finished and his task would be more difficult to do.


    He hastily flipped through the plot in his mind as his hands continued to move. He quickly listed out several ways to make money fast forparison. He directly abandoned the idea of waiting for stock returns, which required time, and checked the <span>stone gambling and other gambling options.


    After he arrived at the airport, he bought the earliest ticket for Y province and went straight there. When he earned his principal amount in stone gambling, he swallowed a <span>Yi Rong pill and went to A city to be a professional gambler. Within a week, he returned to the Fu family with sufficient funds and thus fixed their issue of funding.


    <span>The Fu couple was stunned but Fu Xia was directly stupefied. ¡°Brother, h-how did you do it? You actually collected enough.¡±


    <span>¡°Don¡¯t worry, all the money was made legally.¡± Ye Zhizhou waved his hand tiredly and went upstairs to his room, falling asleep the moment he hit the bed. He didn¡¯t know that there were a lot of people in-game waiting for him to go online, including the protagonist and her harem.


    After solving the problem with funds, Ye Zhizhou began to search for new ingredients suppliers from all over the country. Most of those who had cooperated with the Fu family had been poached by the protagonist and the male leads. The goods offered to the Fu family were either falsely priced or of poor quality. He had to find new suppliers. But, before he could find new suppliers, the restaurant''s supplies could only be temporarily supplied by his space''s reserves.


    Truckloads of fresh, high-quality ingredients were hauled to the back of the old restaurant. The chefs were so shocked that their mouths dropped.


    ¡°Ximing, where did you get all of these? They''re all good quality!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou felt the chicken in the box and vaguely said, ¡°These were all bought at a high price. I can only do this method before I find a new supplier. These ingredients are for the newlyunched Imperial Feast meals, if it¡¯s not enough, call me and I will try my best to get more delivered.¡± These chickens were all wild pheasants. For the sake of these ingredients, he had to squander quite a lot of animals from his space.


    The head chef came forward and patted him on his back, happily saying, ¡°Fortunately, the Fu family still has you. Don¡¯t worry, us old men will save thesest few roots of the Fu family even if we have to fight with our lives!¡±


    ¡°Where are you uncles old? Obviously, you guys are still very young.¡± He replied with a smile and a low sigh, ¡°Everything will be okay very soon.¡±


    With his cheating device known as spiritual power, he soon found a group of ingredient suppliers with a good character and a reasonable price. Two dayster, he found a way to solve the problem of ingredient storage and transportation and returned to the Fu house with a newly formted Imperial Feast recipe. Afterpletely passing out at night, he went to the old restaurant early in the morning to hand over the new recipe to the chefs. He told them about some points to pay attention to and checked the ounts in the restaurant. He was finallypletely relieved.


    The broken funding, the poached management, the blocked ingredients supply channel, and therge scale market seizing¡­ Although the problems were only partially solved, the Fu family¡¯s hopeless case finally had hope. It wasn¡¯t a waste of his leg that he nearly broke by running around these days.


    When he went back to the Fu house, everyone was having breakfast. The Fu couple and Fu Xia were stunned when they saw hime in.


    ¡°Ximing, why are you up so early? Where did you go? Why didn¡¯t you sleep a little longer?¡± Mother Fu came up to him with a face full of heartache, touched his face and then touched his arm. ¡°It hasn¡¯t been that long but your face looks so skinny. Let your father deal with the restaurant issues, you should go rest a little bit.¡±


    Father Fu nodded when he heard her words, his gaze was both proud and sorrowful. He sighed. ¡°Ximing, you¡¯ve been running around outside a lot these days. If you have anything you need to do, just tell me and I¡¯ll go do it. You should take good care of yourself. You can y chess with your grandfather or y games with Xiao Xia. In other words, don¡¯t overexert yourself.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t y games anymore¡­¡± Fu Xia said in a quiet voice.


    Ye Zhizhou was taken aback when he heard these words. His mind that was recently filled with the Fu family affairs suddenly cleared. He thought about that pit of a holy level quest in the game. Damn it! These two weeks were so busy that he had forgotten about everything in the game!


    ¡¾ <em>Respected yer Ye Zhizhou, wee back to Dreaming Continent.</em> ¡¿


    The colorful characters shed in the dark sky, and then the darkness dissipated. Aunt Wang¡¯s warm and spacious yard appeared in front of his eyes.


    It looked like the updated game wasn¡¯t any different from before. The golden characters representing the holy level quest still hung in the air. He tentatively poked it, transforming the text into a detailed quest description.


    At the beginning was a single red warning sentence: There are 99 stages total in this holy quest. If you fail any stage, you must restart from the beginning. After that sentence were detailed descriptions of all the 99 stages of the quest, all of which were rted to cooking. The first stage was to make egg fried rice, the second stage was to fry poached eggs, the third stage was to make tomato and egg stir fry¡­ Thest stage was to make a top feast with the meat of the Zerg Queen.


    Unlike regr quests, holy level quests were broadcasted live to the whole server. That is to say, when Ye Zhizhou opened the quest details, all of the online yers on the server could see that the characters hanging in the middle of the sky for nearly half a month had finally changed. Then, the world channel exploded.


    <strong>I Love Crayfish:</strong> Ah ah, Ye Zhizhou is online!


    <strong>Chrysanthemum Eye:</strong> WTF! Was this quest made by a human? 99 stages, if you fail any stage you have to restart from the beginning. Thest stage really requires you to kill the Zerg Queen. Will I be able to eat buffed food made by me in this life¡­


    <strong>Butts Up for the Crowd:</strong> Weakly asking a question. Can this Ye Zhizhou cook?


    <strong>Ye Tang:</strong> Ye Zhizhou, open the friend system, I have something to talk about.


    <strong>Angel Wings:</strong> Eh, Why is Tang baby looking for Ye Zhizhou? Does he want to cooperate? Jing Shu baby is going to help Ye Zhizhou finish the quest?


    <strong>I Married for Wealth:</strong> Baby, your uncle! Dishonest fans, go away!


    Ye Zhizhou closed the world chat panel that automatically popped up and rubbed his chin, clicking open the wealth rankings. As expected, it¡¯s still Jing Shu. The protagonist¡¯s game ID can¡¯t be ignored. The in-game restaurant she opened was also called Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion. How mentally retarded were the male leads to not find the protagonist¡¯s real identity? He then clicked to open the expert rankings and saw Tang Ye was first, and the next two to seven ranks were all filled by the male leads. The Fighting Power rankings, Trade Union rankings, Guild Prestige rankings, Poprity rankings¡­ The protagonist and the seven male leads upied almost all top ten spots on all of these rankings, simply horrifying.


    He nced at his rank, then at his inventory and sighed. That being said, how does one make in-game money¡­


    Ding dong. A friend request bypassed his shut off friend function and popped up in front of him. Then, a private chat in red, bolded characters appeared in midair, directly out of the panel.


    <strong>GM Lu:</strong> You''re the one that triggered the holy level quest? Ye Zhizhou?


    GM? Did the holy level quest also shock the GM? He quickly clicked ept and then returned to the private chat.


    GmÂÉ£º×ø±ê¡£


    <strong>GM Lu:</strong> Coordinates.


    <strong>Ye Zhizhou:</strong> ?


    <strong>GM Lu:</strong> Stay where you are and don''t move.


    <span> ¡¾ Your<em> friend GM Lu is offline.</em><span>¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡± So what did this GM message him for?


    Ye Zhizhou walked out of Aunt Wang¡¯s yard and began to run in the novice vige. In order toplete this crazy holy level quest and PK the protagonist and her harem, his level shouldn''t be too low. At least, he has to get out of the novice vige first, or else he can¡¯t even use the trading function.


    Five minutester, the space in front of him distorted and a cold-faced, handsome man with ck hair and long robes suddenlynded in front of him, immediately attacking him.


    Ye Zhizhou, who was pulling out weeds for Zhang <span>Daye, the head of the vige, was shocked. ¡°Brother, what are you doing!¡± I¡¯m only a small level 5 ount. Was it really necessary to bully people like this!<hr>


    Split chapter this time sorry! Next chapter is gonna be interesting

 Chapter 94 part2

    ¡°You have the novice protection.¡± As the cold-faced handsome man said this, he raised his sword and swung down fiercely. In the next second, Ye Zhizhou''s body suddenly emitted a light that surrounded his body and directly reflected the sword, killing the cold-faced handsome man immediately.


    ¡¾ <i>yer Side ount 001 has been killed. You gained 10877 experience. Congrattions to the yer for leveling up to level 10. </i>¡¿


    A bubble appeared over the dead cold-faced handsome manying on the ground.


    <b>Side ount 001</b>: Stay here and don''t move, wait for me.


    The air distorted again and the cold-faced handsome man''s body disappeared.


    The weeds in Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand fell to the ground. So, this brother came here to give him EXP? Who is this guy again? An EXP baby sent by the GM?


    Two minutester, another cold-faced handsome man fell in front of him, his ID was Side ount 002.


    Ye Zhizhou wiped his face and asked, ¡°Side ount brother, what exactly are you trying to do?¡±


    ¡°Helping you level up. The holy level quest has a level requirement.¡± Ye Zhizhou saw the cold-faced handsome man in ancient clothes standing in a modern small garden summoning a¡­ big sparrow. He then took the lead to get on the sparrow and waved towards Ye Zhizhou. ¡°Get on, I¡¯ll take you to grind instances.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Can I refuse?¡±


    The cold-faced handsome man''s eyes sharpened and he drew out a sword. ¡°Why would you refuse? Unless¡­ You want me to kill you back to level 0?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou adapted to the circumstances and climbed on top of the sparrow. He looked all over but didn¡¯t see a ce where he could hold onto. So, he could only resentfully sit up straight and try not to get close to the grumpy side ountrade in front of him.


    ¡°Waist.¡±


    "What?"


    ¡°Considering your identity, I¡¯ll allow you to hold on.¡±


    The next second, the sparrow pped its wings a couple of times before flying straight up towards the sky. Ye Zhizhou couldn''t care about being too intimate and close to a man anymore. He tightly pressed his lips together to muffle his scream and hugged the cold-faced handsome man in front of him.


    <span>The experience of flying at a high altitude on the sparrow¡¯s narrow back made him taste¡­ an iparably acidic vor.


    <span>Dreaming Continent¡¯s monsters were all insects so the monsters in the dungeons were also naturally insects. Ye Zhizhou followed behind the cold-faced handsome man; looking at the centipedes crawling all over the ce made him almost throw up. Fortunately, the cold-faced handsome man put in a lot of effort, destroying everything with a single wave of his hand and didn''t let a single insect touch him.


    World channel.


    <b>I Love Crayfish:</b> Which kind-hearted brother went to find Ye Zhizhou and helped him level up? I remember that 20 minutes ago, he was still level 5. How can he already be level 23 now?! What happened in these 20 minutes?!


    <b>Chrysanthemum Eye:</b> A double EXP talisman and the extremely expensive growth rate elixir, along with speedrun grinding of Centipede Grotto with no injuries or deaths. This speed is only possible if a side ount brought him along to grind EXP¡­


    <b>Angel Wings: </b>It''s Ye Tang baby. Only Ye Tang baby can grind Centipede Grotto with a newbie without any deaths or injuries.


    <b>I Married for Wealth:</b> Baby your sister. Really no cure for fangirls.


    Jun Shujing looked at the scrolling messages on the world chat channel, her expression was a little ugly as she asked, ¡°Is that Ye Zhizhou still ignoring you?¡±


    Tang Ye, who was resting his eyes, opened his eyes and then opened the private chat window. He looked at it and shook his head. ¡°Nothing, the private message sent by Qixing and the others didn¡¯t receive any response either. The other person still has their friend function turned off."


    ¡°This person¡¯s so¡­¡± She massaged her aching head, feeling very upset. ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened recently. Nothing is going well. The new restaurant branches¡¯ business has suddenly be very bad. Instead, the Fu Yuan restaurant that was almost bankrupt somehow made aeback with some kind of Imperial Feast dishes. Their business is getting better and better. Where do you think they got their recipe from? Where did they get such high-quality ingredients? I heard people say their ingredients¡¯ quality was better than our store¡¯s ingredients.¡±


    Tang Ye nced at her with disapproval. ¡°Shujing, you care too much about the Fu family, and the recent expansion speed of Gentleman''s Pavilion was too fast. You¡¯d better slow down, or something will definitely happen.¡±


    Jun Shujing choked a bit, pulling up the corner of her mouth to smile at him. She put her hand down. ¡°Indeed, I¡¯ve been a little impatient recently¡­ Let''s not talk about this anymore. Let¡¯s find Ye Zhizhou first. It¡¯s a holy level quest. I heard that there''s a special reward.¡±


    Tang Ye nodded with little interest, taking a bite of the desserts on the table and closed his eyes again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, he can¡¯t kill the Zerg queen alone.¡±


    Jun Shujing looked at his expressionless face, a trace of dissatisfaction shed in her eyes.


    Half an hourter, Ye Zhizhou leveled up to level 30. He had no idea what to say anymore.


    ¡°Side ount brother, you helping me so selflessly, I¡­"


    ¡°Finish the holy level quest quickly.¡± The cold-faced handsome man traded a lot of things to him but then pulled out the long sword and shook it in front of him. ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll let you go down the same way I raised you up.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll leave you the mount.¡± The cold-faced handsome man put away his sword and sneered. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that those people would continue to affect the bnce of the game¡­ Obedientlyplete the quest. If you don¡¯t log on for half a month again, I¡¯ll go to your house and force you to y.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou replied boldly, ¡°You can¡¯t possibly know where my home is.¡±


    ¡°I can find out.¡± The cold-faced handsome man looked at him up and down and directly logged off.


    ¡¾ <em>Your friend GM Lu is online.</em> ¡¿


    <strong>GM Lu:</strong> If you get bullied, directly call a GM. Before the holy level quest ispleted, don¡¯t even think about dropping a level.


    ¡¾ <em>Your friend GM Lu is offline.</em> ¡¿


    ¡°¡­¡± Fuck! The EXP baby was actually the GM! Can this broken game work properly! A GM threatening the yers! He wants to report him!


    The golden characters in the air suddenly changed, showing that the first level of the holy level quest was unlocked. Ye Zhizhou only saw that everything in front of him turned dark and when he opened his eyes again, the surrounding scene had be a kitchen with aplete set of tools. There was a bowl of rice and two eggs in front of him.


    ¡¾ <i>Level 30 attained, the first task of the quest unlocked. Time: Half an hour</i>. ¡¿


    Ye Zhizhou was dumbfounded for a while but then resignedly picked up the egg. 20 minutester, a delicious egg fried rice dish was cooked. As the taskpletion was 100%, the reward was doubled and he directly gained a level. Then, the second task was unlocked. Five minutester, he gained another level. Task after task, level after level, the rewards continued to be doubled and his name began to furiously burst into existence in the world chat channel.


    ¡¾ <em>Congrattions to yer Ye Zhizhou forpleting the first task of the Holy Level Quest. Unlocked buffs for green quality fried rice type food items. </em>¡¿

    <b>I Love Crayfish: </b>It hasn¡¯t been long and they¡¯re already at stage 20¡­ Bowing down to the great god!


    <b>Chrysanthemum Eye:</b> Gaining a level for each stage. Oh my god, this holy level quest is breaking the rules.


    <b>I Married for Wealth:</b> This should be the target of the fans. Great God, I love you! Hahaha, finally, I don''t have to go to that profiteer to buy food, I can make it myself now!


    Jun Shujing, who was staring at the world channel, couldn''t help clenching her fist. Damn! Who exactly was this Ye Zhizhou who came out of nowhere? If all the food was unlocked, then her business¡­ Damn damn damn!


    She didn¡¯t know that Tang Ye had opened his eyes and also began to look at the world channel. He squinted as he said, "I wonder if the dishes made by Ye Zhizhou are delicious¡­¡±


    Jun Shujing was startled. She took a new snack from her inventory bag and set it on the table. She said with a smile, ¡°Who knows? Right now he''s only making some basic dishes. Later, the stages will get harder and harder. I don¡¯t know if he''ll get stuck.¡±


    ¡°En, we should help him if he gets stuck.¡± Tang Ye¡¯s attention was quickly diverted. He took a bite of the snack and squinted his eyes in contentment. ¡°Shujing, weren¡¯t you always worried that you couldn¡¯t make the buffed foods popr? Now there¡¯s Ye Zhizhou. You can finally rx. In the future, y less. Reality is more important.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yes, then I''ll be able to rx more.¡± Jun Shujing replied with a stiff expression. Her teeth were almost broken from how hard she was clenching them. Help him? Right now, she was looking forward to seeing this Ye Zhizhou fail and be stuck on the quest forever!


    After finishing the 25th stage, Ye Zhizhou chose to log off to go to sleep.


    There was nothing to worry about at Fu Yuan, so he slept all the way until noon. After getting up and eating lunch, he didn¡¯t enter the game but drove to the main branch of Gentleman''s Pavilion in the most prosperous area of B city.


    He took another Yi Rong pill and went into Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion at the reserved time. After being brought to his table, he ordered the most expensive and famous Imperial Feast dishes at Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion. Half an hourter, all the dishes were served. He smelled the seductive fragrance in the air and slowly released his spiritual power, letting it float in the air as he opened the system.


    When he went on his business trip to other ces, he also visited the branches of Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion. He didn¡¯t find anything wrong nor think that the taste of Gentleman''s Pavilion''s dishes was so unforgettable as described in the original plot. Later, when he pondered over the plot carefully, he found that most of the loyal customers of Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion only loved to eat at the main branch in B city. Additionally, when Fu Xia came to the restaurant to try their dishes, she was able to recognize the protagonist¡¯s skill in just one bite. This basically confirmed his thoughts. There must be something wrong with the protagonist¡¯s food, but she¡¯s very careful and only gave the food in question to important guests. Now, it¡¯s time to uncover the secrets of the protagonist¡¯s unforgettable cooking skills.<hr>

    Guess we met ML today  next up exposing the protagonist¡¯s secrets

 Chapter 95

    The system scanned for a long time but found nothing, Ye Zhizhou found that the spiritual power that he had sent out gradually stopped moving, and a light,forting feeling rose in his brain. Suddenly, the originally lightly appetizing fragrance became something that made one''s mouth water and drool. After about ten seconds, the food''s fragrance turned into a familiar scent of mint. His spiritual power instantly let down its guard, cheerfully and idly floating around trying to find the familiar spiritual power that it had been entwined and mingled with for decades.


    [Scanplete. <span>Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, <span>Wanfu meat, <span>Phoenix Tail Shark Fin, <span>Dried Sea Cucumber, <span>Stir Fry Silkie Chicken all have insect poison in them. When used on humans, it can have a hallucinatory effect. Long term use can cause brain damage. Applicable pill: Universal Qingwan Pill ]


    [ Abnormal mental fluctuation detected in Host. Asking Host to please pay attention! ]


    The light screen that popped up directly in front of him caused Ye Zhizhou to instantly snap out of it. He quickly came to from the familiar scent that epassed his whole body, swallowed the pill given by the system and withdrew his spiritual power while pinching his nose to block the smell.


    His muddled mind gradually became clear. He looked at the system prompt and then looked at the table full of colorful and fragrant dishes. His stomach was filled with nausea. ¡°Insect poison? There are insects in these dishes?¡±


    [ Preliminary scans have determined that there is a mixture of several kinds of poisonous insect venoms. More testing is required to determine the specific types. ]


    ¡°There''s more than one kind?¡±


    [ Five or more types. ]


    He took a deep breath and pushed the nearest dish a little further away. ¡°How on earth did these dishes pass food inspections? Just the smell of it made me go into a trance. Do none of the other customers notice anything?"


    [The toxic effect can be hallucinogenic, but with a lower quantity, it''s harder to detect. The degree of stimtion for the person is rted to their inner quality. The host has awakened spiritual power, moreover, your spiritual power level is high so you were more deeply affected. ]


    ¡­ So it was like that.


    After the pill fully went into effect, Ye Zhizhou probed and sniffed the air of the private room. He found that the familiar smell of mint had changed back to the original aroma of food he had initially smelled.


    So, the hallucinogenic effect of these dishes made people smell and taste their most favorite thing? It was no wonder that the male leads were so quickly trapped by the protagonist''s skills. With just a meal, they could feel experience their most beloved things, it was really worth it. And right now he was just smelling it. If he ate these dishes, could he directly feel the pleasure of kissing, touching and more with his lover?


    A light screen once again popped up in front of him, blocking the hand that was stretching towards the chopsticks. [ Asking Host to please focus on the mission. ]


    He sobered up and quickly stuffed another pill into his mouth. It seemed like his self-control was weakened while he was surrounded by this fragrance¡­ As far as he knew, although the male leads didn¡¯t awaken their spiritual power, their brains most certainly would have to function very well, so they would be more affected by these dishes, and the fact that their self-control would also be weakened by the fragrance¡­ Could it be that the Imperial Feast recipe book left to the protagonist by her mother, also could have been called the Miao People''s Bewitching Exercise book?


    Not daring to stupidly stay in these noxious smells, he hurriedly got up and left the room. He was ready to go back into the game to let Tongtian slowly test what kind of bugs were in the protagonist''s food. Right now, he''s going to determine why the protagonist''s dishes had various buff effects in the game.


    In the VIP room across from Ye Zhizhou¡¯s room, an evil-looking man with a cold expression on his face directly picked up the cup of cold water on the table and poured it on his face After the muddled feeling in his mindpletely disappeared, he wiped his face and stood up angrily, sneering. ¡°What Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion, only cowards would like these dishes that bring a false sense of satisfaction, wait for myint!¡± After saying this, he got up and left.


    The middle-aged man sitting beside him was stunned by his reaction. He quickly stood up to stop him and frantically said, ¡°Vice President Ge, this is¡­ this is, Vice President Ge? Vice President Ge, our business idea¡­¡±


    Bang!


    The door closed in front of his eyes.


    <span>¡°What the hell! If it wasn''t for him having a ferocious father¡­" The middle-aged man''s attitude changed and began to hit the door irritably.


    <span>The young man sitting on the other side pushed up his sses and said coolly, ¡°Not only does he have a powerful father, but he also has a brain that can make money. The currently popr holographic game was developed by him. Boss Wang, please speak cautiously.¡±


    Wang Shu, with a stiff expression, hurriedly squeezed out a smile and turned around to say, ¡°Young Master He, I showed you something embarrassing. The dishes from Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion are very good. They¡¯re much better than Fu Yuan¡¯s dishes. Let¡¯s¡­¡±


    ¡°Continue without me.¡± Young Master He stood up, gathered his things and began to walk out. ¡°I think Fu Yuan is very good, especially the two new Imperial Feast dishes that their family recentlyunched, they¡¯re a real pleasure to taste. And¡­ Young Master Ge¡¯s pte is very well known. Since he said there was something wrong with these dishes, then, there must be something wrong with them. Thank you for your hospitality, Director Wang, but unfortunately, I can''t enjoy it, I''ll be leaving first."


    When the door closed in front of him again, Wang Shu¡¯s expression couldn''t be held back anymore and became distorted. ¡°A group of damned rich second generation! And that Fu family, I obviously seeded in digging a pit for them yet they unexpectedly changed their fortune. Who gave them the funds?!¡±


    There were two knocks on the private room¡¯s door. Jun Shujing came in holding a bottle of wine with a smile on her face. Seeing that there was only Wang Shu in it, she was startled and asked, ¡°Vice President Ge and Young Master He haven''t arrived yet?¡±


    ¡°They left!¡± Seeing the one who walked in was his business partner, Wang Shu managed to suppress his anger and said in a deep voice, ¡°Who was the one that funded the Fu family? I have clearly exchanged greetings with the higher-ups. The Fu family couldn''t have possibly borrowed money while they''re going bankrupt!¡±


    ¡°They left?¡± The smile on Jun Shujing¡¯s face disappeared. She frowned and set the wine on the table. ¡°Why did they leave? Why did you screw things up again? I overlooked the issue with Fu Xiast time but the dinner for Vice President Ge this time was rted to all my in-game business. Can you use your brain?¡±


    Wang Shu looked at her incredulously and suddenly sneered. ¡°Jun Shujing, don¡¯t think so highly of yourself. Vice President Ge wasn''t angered into leaving by me, he was disgusted by your dishes! Wasn''t your cooking always previously sessful? How did you kick the iron board this time? I¡¯m just your partner, not your subordinate. Pay attention to how you speak to me!¡± After saying this he also turned to leave, mming the door as he left.


    Jun Shujing, who had been praised and ttered by others all this time, was so angered with his attitude as she exploded, "He can¡¯t handle things properly so he dares to throw the me onto my dishes. How could my dishes be the problem?" As she said this, it seemed like she gained confidence and found her backbone, so her mood soon calmed down. She took out her phone and scrolled through it, hesitating for a while, before calling Qi Xing, who was the most indulgent. This time, she had wanted to find Vice President Ge to stop that holy level quest or ask him to just directly ban Ye Zhizhou. Tang Ye and the others have always thought that she wanted to let go of the game, so they had a supportive attitude towards that holy level quest. But, she actually wanted to ruin the quest, and could only do it secretly.


    After going home and entering the game, Ye Zhizhou once again ignored the exploding world channel chat. After hiding his ID, he ran to the protagonist''s in-game store to buy a bunch of food with buff effects. He then had Tongtian scan them.


    [ All of them contain Zerg toxin. It''s slightly different from the species in the real world. The effect of the toxin is stronger. ]


    The effect of the toxin is stronger? He looked at the delicate bun in his hand, which was emitting a fragrance of wheat and meat, and hesitated for a moment before taking a small bite.


    The 80% real-life fidelity simtion truly brought pleasure from the sense of taste and smell, even the sense of swallowing in-game felt very realistic. His body immediately warmed up after he finished eating the meat bun. He opened up his character window and found that there was a +10 Constitution buff under his character icon,sting for 30 minutes.


    After the fresh taste on his taste buds faded, a sense of satisfaction rose in his mind, which was slightly different than the floating feeling in reality. He took out a bowl of soup, tasted it and found that theforting feeling once again changed into something slightly softer and cozy. His character had gotten a +10 Attack buff. He frowned and then ate several kinds of other foods. Finally, he determined that the mental pleasure brought by the protagonist¡¯s dishes were equally as effective in-game because this broken game¡¯s degree of simrity to reality was too high. He wondered, if he had drunk a bottle of pesticide right now, would be on the ground rolling in pain?


    The addictive andforting feeling brought by these dishes could be exined by the Zerg toxin that was added to the Imperial Feast dishes, but what about the buffs?


    Unconsciously, he walked to the training area as an idea shed into his mind. This was a game. Bugs were a type of monster which had various types of attributes. The protagonist most likely used these insects¡¯ toxins in her food. Could it be because the protagonist added these strange things to the dishes, the dishes had the positive attributes of the monster itself? But¡­ Using monster parts as ingredients for dishes was something that many people have thought of and tried. Their results were allpletely inedible poisonous dishes. Why was it that only the protagonist¡¯s food was edible and had buff effects?


    No exnation made sense.


    He poked open the system information and looked through it carefully. After all kinds of conjectures, he finally found the real point of re-evaluation¡ªThe Imperial Feast recipe! The finished products had various buffs only when the protagonist cooked ording to the Imperial Feast recipe; all of the food that he bought just now were Imperial Feast dishes!


    The Holy Level Quest''s prompt was still shining in midair. He raised his head and looked at it closely, his thoughts bing more clear. He had triggered the Holy Level Quest after making an Imperial Feast but the protagonist clearly made Imperial Feast dishes before him, so why hadn''t she triggered the quest? There was only one difference between his and the protagonist¡¯s Imperial Feast, that is, the protagonist had added materials to the Imperial Feast. For this reason, the system determined that the protagonist¡¯s Imperial Feast couldn''t trigger the quest, but what the protagonist made indeed was the Imperial Feast¡­ Couldn''t trigger the quest, so a lesser reward of unlocking the buff effect, but only for her, was applied? So in fact, the buff effects of the Imperial Feast dishes weren''t caused by the protagonist''s added ingredients, but by the system settings. Those added insect poisons only increased the illusion of taste and smell¡­


    He remembered that GM said ¡°Don¡¯t want that group of people to continue affecting the game bnce¡± and the corner of his mouth quirked. It couldn¡¯t be like this right¡­? So, the protagonist¡¯s ¡°golden finger¡± of being the only one who could make buffed dishes was actually created by the game¡¯s high reality simtion and weirdo settings.


    But that wasn''t right either. Wasn''t the protagonist¡¯s recipe leaked? There should be no insect monster ingredients in other yers¡¯ products. Why didn''t they trigger the Holy Level quest? And also, why were there no buffs?


    He suddenly remembered that Fu Xia had said she had been wronged in the original plot. He became startled and quickly opened the game¡¯s forum to search for the protagonist¡¯s leaked recipes from back then. His expression became heavy after carefully looking at the recipes.


    No, these leaked recipes weren''t an Imperial Feast. He lived in ancient times for two lifetimes, and he has also made Imperial Feasts himself. He could easily guess what the finished products made by these recipes looked like, and it absolutely wasn¡¯t the same as what the protagonist sold. In order to prevent spection errors, he rented a kitchen from the in-game store, cooked a meal ording to these leaked recipes and then went to Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion to buy the same dish. He set the dishes next to each other, and after tasting them one by one, hepletely confirmed his guess.


    It was really different. The leaked recipes were either missing ingredients, had the wrong heat levels, or mixed up two simr ingredients. He put down his chopsticks with an ugly expression. Back then, the protagonist might¡¯ve framed Fu Xia for the issue of leaking her recipes¡­


    ¡¾ You have gained: Reduced Health Debuff x1, Bleeding Debuff x1, Deceleration Debuff x1, Blinding Debuff X1 ¡¿


    A series of debuff prompts appeared. His body immediately became heavy, his vision blurred, he started feeling dizzy and his limbs became powerless. His heart jumped in fright. Ye Zhizhou was just about to call Tongtian when he suddenly remembered that this was just a game. He soon calmed down and opened the game character window to check his character''s status. He saw that all the previous buffs under his character icon had disappeared and were reced with various negative effects with different durations.


    ¡°What happened?¡±


    Tongtian quietlyid in his backpack, not giving him an answer.


    After he asked, he realized that he already knew the answer and speechlessly rubbed his face. Since the other yers made a lot of poisonous food by adding the carcasses of insects and other beasts to their dishes, it wouldn''t make sense if the protagonist¡¯s dishes weren''t also¡­


    ¡¾ Your friend GM Lu is online ¡¿


    GM Lu: You¡¯ve been online for a few hours already yet you haven¡¯t even done one task, are you looking for death?


    ¡°¡­¡± This unsatisfied ghost GM.


    GM Lu: And you even ate a bunch of messy things. Are you that hungry and gluttonous?


    GM Lu: Stay there and don''t move.


    ¡¾ Your friend GM Lu is offline ¡¿


    A minuteter, a cold-faced handsome man named Side ount 003 appeared in front of him. He threw him onto an albatross and flew to thergest NPC restaurant in the city.


    ¡°¡­ Side ount Brother, I''m really not gluttonous.¡±


    ¡°Get rid of the food in your bag before you say that.¡±


    The albatrossnded at the door of the restaurant. The cold-faced handsome man put away his mount, took him to the second floor of the restaurant, ordered all the signature dishes for him, and then sat opposite of him with his arms crossed. ¡°The taste of these dishes mirrors the skills of the top chefs in the real world. I guarantee that they taste better than those messy things you bought, and there are no debuffs. Quickly eat, after you finish, go do the quest.¡±


    He looked at the menu price list and was a little flustered. The food sold in the NPC restaurant was truly delicious but was also super expensive. Did this Side ount Brother have the money to pay for it? He doesn¡¯t want to have to go scrub dishes in the back¡­


    Facing the distrust in his eyes, the cold-face handsome man¡¯s expression became even colder and he drew his sword. ¡°Kill you to level 0 or offline PK, you choose.¡±


    He resolutely picked up the chopsticks and ate while feeling both worried and pleased. He was worried that he didn¡¯t have the money to pay the bill, but he was pleased because he didn¡¯t have to worry about getting fat or overeating in the game. He could eat as much delicious food as he wanted. Great news for foodies and a paradise for people who were on a diet!


    Half an hourter, the dishes on the table were all empty. The cold-faced handsome man paid without blinking. He put down his sword onto the table and looked at him coldly. ¡°Since you ate your fill, quickly go to work. Also, in the future, you''re not allowed to eat anything messy.¡±


    He moved his mouth, wanting to reply, but since his food was just paid for, Ye Zhizhou was reluctant. For some indescribable reason, he was unable to get angry with this GM, so he could only hold back and open the 26th quest checkpoint.


    The stagnant quest prompt in mid-air began to change quickly, and the two words ¡®Ye Zhizhou¡¯ began to flood the screen again.


    The cold-faced handsome man sat at the table where he was the only one left, silently reading the two words, Ye Zhizhou, and suddenly frowned before pressing on his forehead. He nced at the empty te that NPC had no time to take away, hummed and smiled. ¡°He can really eat. He hasn''t changed. He''s still really gluttonous¡ª¡± In the middle of his sentence, he stopped again, and his headache became worse. "Who was¡­ Just who was it that I just thought of¡­ Damn! Damn! Damn!¡± The air twisted and he disappeared from the game.


    In an office building in the center of a city, Ge Lu, who was forced from the game, sat up from the game pod with an ice-like expression.


    The assistant heard the noise, pushed the door open and came in. When he saw the terrible expression on Ge Lu''s face, he shrunk back and asked in a low voice, ¡°Vice President, do you¡­ Want me to call Dr. Chen?¡±


    Ge Lu looked at him deeply, before coldly saying, ¡°I want the information of the yer who triggered the Holy Level Quest immediately, right now.¡±


    The assistant¡¯s voice became even smaller. ¡°But Vice President, you said not to allow people to randomly ess the yer''s information¡­"


    Ge Lu narrowed his eyes and suddenly showed a vicious smile. ¡°Then, give him a prize. Reward him for triggering the hidden quest and maintaining the game bnce. I¡¯ll send the gift myself. Now, can I get his information?¡±


    The assistant was shocked by his smile and nodded like a chicken pecking rice. ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯ll go and get his information right now.¡±


    The office became peaceful once again. Ge Lu raised his hand to cover his eyes, leaned against the game pod and murmured, ¡°Ye Zhizhou¡­ Where on earth have I heard this name¡­ And the person in the dream¡­ Who are they¡­¡± <hr>

 Chapter 96

    At task 50, Ye Zhizhou became stuck.


    ¡¾<i>Kill the Zerg captain in Stone Forest''s danger zone. Take back the viger''s stolen goods. Return the stolen goods to the vigers to obtain the vigers¡¯ gratitude and Rushing Thunder Rabbit meat. Then, make a te of spicy rabbit stir fry with the meat.</i>¡¿


    Stone Forest''s danger zone?


    He opened the world map, found the danger zone and then discovered that it was level 60 instance that required a team of 5 yers to enter it. It just so happened that he was level 60. After leveling up to level 50, the experience reward for each task was no longer enough topletely level him every time. That is to say, the him right now definitely couldn''t sessfully do this instance alone.


    He thought about it for a bit and then opened the marketce window to search for Rushing Thunder Rabbit meat. It was fruitless.


    ¡¾Friendly Reminder, task reward can''t be bought.¡¿


    Then, it looked like it was necessary to run the damned instance? But it takes five yers¡­ Taking everything into ount, he could only get two more people by himself at best¡­ He doesn¡¯t even know if the GM brother could solo the instance¡­


    He opened up his friend list. GM Lu''s name was greyed out so he wasn''t online. He tentatively messaged some other GMs, and only got a bunch of automatic replies.


    Ye Zhizhou became angry. GM Lu had said that if there was a problem to go find a GM! That liar!


    The yers who were always paying attention to the quest''s progress also noticed his problem and began to spam the chat crazily.


    <b>I Love Crayfish:</b> Great God! Open your friend function! That level 60 instance is very simple, I''ll carry you through it ah ah ah!


    <b>Chrysanthemum Eye: </b>Add me too! Great God, I''ll take you around to brag! I''ll take you around to fly! Keep doing the quest and don''t stop!


    <b>Don''t think of Monday: </b>Ye Zhizhou, add me. I can carry you solo.


    <b>Angel Wings:</b> Ah, ah, ah, Xing baby! Xing baby, why are you online? Didn''t you go participate in a fragrance contest? Xing baby, I love you!


    <b>I Married for Wealth:</b> Once again, seeing the bad characteristics of brain dead fangirls! Brother Ye, add me. I''ll bring my <span>union siblings to help you grind this instance.


    Ye Zhizhou nced at the time and saw that it was still early. After thinking about it, he sent I Married for Wealth a friend request and a private message.


    Ten minutester, a rough man wielding a big sword appeared in front of him, followed by three other people, two men, and one woman.


    ¡°Brother Ye, you can rest assured. Our union''s strength is enough to run through almost all the instances in the game. Guaranteed to let you painlesslyplete the task!¡±


    ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Ye Zhizhou''s initial impression of him was good. He greeted him and his friends with a smile, and then said with embarrassment, ¡°I don¡¯t have anything of value to thank you. As thanks, if you guys don''t dislike it, then please take the rabbit meat dishter on. They''ll all have buffs.¡±


    <span>Big Brother Married For Wealth cleaned his sword and made a face as he waved his hand. ¡°You don''t need to be so polite. Us helping you is also helping ourselves. Jing Shu, that damned profiteer, uses her exclusive food buff every day as a joke. She sells it for so much. Furthermore, eating her food results in negative effects, I don¡¯t know how many of our little brothers have been scammed. It¡¯s very unlucky! Those ranked yers around her also have a problem with their heads, helping her bully other yers. Like the case with Sister Xia, who was killed down to level 0 back then, she must have been wronged, but no one believed her. It''s really enough to make someone angry!¡±


    Hearing this, Ye Zhizhou was startled and asked, ¡°Brother, how are you so sure that Sister Xia was wronged?¡±


    ¡°That was a coincidence. My daughter-inw is a chef, and her mouth is very sharp. She was curious and made several dishes ording to the leaked recipe andpared their taste to the dishes sold by Gentleman Pavilion. She discovered that there were problems with those leaked recipes!¡± As Married for Wealth talked about his daughter-inw his expression softened before darkening as he remembered something. "But, those people on the forums didn''t believe my daughter-inw and said that it must be because my daughter-inw''s skills weren''t good enough! Those pig-brained people! That profiteer said it was because she unlocked the cooking skill first, so she was able to make buffed foods. The people actually believed this damn reason! I asked the GM and they said there was no such setting in the game! yers who would rather believe that profiteer and not the GM, have yed too many games that they''ve be stupid."


    So, someone has already questioned it before. Ye Zhizhou became pensive.


    The process of running through the instance was very smooth. After he finished the task, he gave I Married for Wealth the big wok of rabbit stir-fry that he made. The next task also required him toplete an instance. Married for Wealth and the rest who had tasted his skills were very enthusiastic to take him through the next instance.


    Four hourster, he reached task 55 and it had already gottente. Ye Zhizhou thanked Married for Wealth and his friends before logging off, satisfied.


    After exiting the game pod, he went to his desk and opened hisputer. He looked through all of the old gossip posts from back when the recipes had been leaked. He then found the posts made by Married for Wealth¡¯s daughter-inw, moved his fingers, and pushed the old post back onto the front page.


    Once they woke up, the game forums exploded. The only post back then that questioned if Jun Shujing leaked her own recipes was pushed back up once again¡ªLast night, an expert recreated the real recipes by sampling Gentleman''s Pavilion''s dishes, and posted them all!


    When the thread had first been pushed back up to the front page, there were still a bunch of trolls posting. However, after a few yers, who had unlocked the cooking skill, decided to try the recipes and sessfully made Royal Feast dishes with buffs, the thread¡¯s direction changed dramatically.


    <b>What a Big y:</b> Just now, using the expert''s recipe, I was able to make a dish with the Auspicious Dragon Pair buff. There''s a genuine buff! Those who say that the expert is deceiving people, and those trolls who said they couldn''t make a dish with a buff after following the recipe, better go practice your cooking skills! If you really made the dish strictly following the expert¡¯s recipe, then the finished product would definitely have a buff! If you couldn''t make it then it''s your skills that are the problem!


    <b>He He</b>: So back then, Sister Xia really was wronged? The leaked recipes are all fake. At that time, was Great God Jing Shu''s tearfulints just to trick us?


    <b>Angel Wings:</b> Impossible! My family''s Jing Shu baby wouldn''t lie to others! Back then, that Sunlight Rays Over the Sky was the one who stole the recipes from my family''s baby and leaked it. She was the one who foolishly got the leaked recipes wrong, why are you ming my family''s baby?


    <b>Daughter-inw I Love You:</b> More than 10 of the recipes were all wrong, and the mistakes were all small mistakes that aren''t easily discoverable by others. Is this really because the person who leaked the recipe was stupid? Brain dead fangirl, you might want to go find some IQ.


    <b>Watching Catfights Everyday:</b> I remember when Sunlight Rays Over the Sky came to the forum and shouted about how she was being wronged, but how did those trolls reply at that time? ''You''re just jealous that Great God Jing Shu can make money. Jealous that she has a lot of male gods loving her. You have a bad heart. You''re not human''. She''s a youngdy of a wealthy family in real life. What is she jealous of? And then, there are those great gods. All those men surrounding one woman. I''m dead. What''s there to love about these so-called great gods who are brain dead and have no shame? They''re all fucking blind.


    <b>He He</b>: Now that upstairs mentioned it, I also remembered that back then, those trolls mouths were really dirty. It was also reported that Great God Jing Shu had posted a message saying that she didn¡¯t me Sister Xia, h h h, but it was ¡°deleted¡± right after it was posted. Ha ha ha, those brain dead fans actually even praised Great God Jing Shu for being kind.


    <b>Little Reporter</b>: Weakly raising my hand. I have a screenshot of that post.


    <b>Curiosity Killed The Cat:</b> Can anybody tell me the story of Jing Shu and her seven ¡°good brothers¡±! Asking the old users to take care of the new user! Looking for the gossip!


    <b>Morons should take Medicine</b>: Isn¡¯t Great God Jing Shu fond of pretending to be a kind-hearted person on the forum to respond to fans? Why hasn¡¯t she appeared yet? Jing Shu,e out, let¡¯s fucking meet face-to-face~


    Bang!


    Jun Shujing smashed the mouse.


    Thements were still rolling in, but the wind hadpletely shifted in Sunlight Rays Over the Sky''s favor. She stared at the recreated recipes, and her eyes darkened. Who was it? Who was it? Wasn''t the buff effect caused by the secret ingredients she added? Why were these people able to make buffed foods by just following the real recipe! Why?


    Could it be¡­ Could it be that the buff effects weren¡¯t because of her secret ingredients, but because of the Royal Feast Recipe? At the thought of this, her heart skipped a beat, her forehead gradually began to sweat and she became flustered and angry. She always thought that the buff effects were from her secret ingredients, so that¡¯s why back then when she was setting Fu Xia up, she had just changed the recipe a bit before leaking it out¡­ If she had known that the buff effects had nothing to do with the secret ingredients, how could she have sent such an important recipe out to the public!


    Her phone suddenly rang. She nced at the phone and had a sh of panic in her eyes when she saw it was Qi Xing who called her. She took several deep breaths before she answered the call. ¡°Hello, Qi Xing, why are you calling me right now? Did you finish your business?¡±


    ¡°Shujing, what¡¯s going on with that post on the forum? Did you really wrong Xiao Xia back then?¡± Qi Xing¡¯s tone was serious for once, and his words were extremely fierce. ¡°Originally, Xiao Xia argued that she didn¡¯t leak the recipe, but you insisted that she did. You even swore that it was the real recipe that was leaked out and that you had only ever shown the real recipe to Xiao Xia. At that time, I chose to believe you. Now, this was the result? You lied to me?¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Jun Shujing bit her lip, softened her voice and said with a distressed air, ¡°I don¡¯t know why it¡¯s like this. I really did only show her the recipe¡­ Qi Xing, the recipe was something my mother left me. How could I use it to lie and trick people¡­¡±


    The other side was silent for a bit before directly hanging up.


    Jun Shujing angrily threw her cell phone, looked at theputer screen and clenched her fist. "Better not let me find out who dug this pit for me, otherwise¡­"


    Ye Zhizhou closed the game forum and went downstairs, finding Fu Xia bent over in the kitchen, making desserts. He used his phone to search up the forum post and showed it to her and asked, "What exactly happened back then?"


    Fu Xia doubtfully took the phone and looked through the post. Her expression became nk for a moment. Suddenly, she helplessly smiled and quietly responded, ¡°What else could it be? Just me me for being stupid. Back then, I was practicing outside the city and met Jun Shujing. I saw her fighting a monster and no matter how she hit it, she couldn¡¯t beat it, so I helped her. She then stuck to me, saying how pitiful she was as a life skills yer, and how difficult it was to level. I was too soft-hearted and took her to y with me, thinking of her as a good friend¡­ It turned out to all be a sham. Through me, she got to know Qi Xing, and then after getting to know him, she used several dishes to try to provoke my and Qi Xing¡¯s rtionship. Then, she went to find someone to kill her ount back to level 0 and used me of doing it, forcing me to quit the game.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou had already guessed that there was something wrong with the original plot, but he didn¡¯t expect that the events that urred were almost theplete opposite of what was described in the plot information. He confirmed and asked, ¡°Jun Shujing got to know Qi Xing through you? She was the one who got close to you?¡±


    ¡°En.¡± When speaking of Qi Xing, Fu Xia¡¯s eyes became dim. ¡°After being wrongly used, I went to find Qi Xing to tell him what really happened, but he chose to believe Jun Shujing, who he had only known for a few months¡­ Ha, how ironic.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou soothingly patted her on the shoulder and said, ¡°Don¡¯t be too sad, his brain is damaged.¡± Damaged by the protagonist''s cooking, need to properly treat it.


    After Ye Zhizhou returned to his room, he paid attention to the thread¡¯s progress for a bit before taking out his phone to call Qi Xing. He asked him out for dinner, saying that the reason was to discuss the issue of Fu Xia being bullied in the game previously. Qi Xing, on the other side of the call, stayed silent for a while before agreeing to his dinner invitation.


    Although he would¡¯ve loved to experience the pleasure of pulling out all seven gs at once, making a hole in the protagonist''s defense was still a very good choice.


    At 7:30 pm, Qi Xing, a refined and elegant looking man, punctually pushed open the door of a private room in Fu Yuan. Ye Zhizhou looked him up and down, pointed to a dozen clearly separated dishes on the table and said, ¡°On the left are the signature Imperial Feast dishes from Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion, and on the right are the new dishes of my Fu Yuan. Come and have a taste.¡±


    Qi Xing, who thought that he was going to be questioned and then scolded, stared for a bit before walking to sit down opposite of Ye Zhizhou. After a pause, he directly said, ¡°Brother Fu, if Xiao Xia was truly wronged, I will apologize. You needn¡¯t act this way, Shujing is Shujing. Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion is Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion. You need not¡­¡±


    ¡°Need not what? Didn¡¯t you help Jun Shujing suppress the Fu family just recently? Moreover, what do you mean ''if Xiao Xia was truly wronged''?¡± Ye Zhizhou soon realized that he wanted to partially protect Jun Shujing''s actions. His expression became cold, and he directly tossed what he found in the afternoon onto the table. ¡°Back then, when Xiao Xia was being bullied, I didn''t y games, so I didn¡¯t know about it. If I had known about it, I would''ve broken your leg. And that Jun Shujing, it''s the first time in my life to see such a malicious person."


    Qi Xing''s brows furrowed after hearing his words. He regretteding to this dinner. He pushed the documents that had been tossed to him away with a dark expression and said, ¡°It seems that Mr. Fu didn¡¯t invite me here in good faith. In that case, I''ll take my leave.¡±


    "I''m Ye Zhizhou in the game."


    Qi Xing froze in the middle of getting up and turned his head to look at him.


    ¡°Can you guess what I found out after I triggered the Holy Level Quest?¡± Ye Zhizhou pointed at the dishes on the table and smiled. ¡°Try them, even if it¡¯s just for your precious Jun Shujing.¡±


    He and Qi Xing were deadlocked for a few seconds until Qi Xing sat down in apromise and picked up the chopsticks to reach for Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion¡¯s dishes first.


    Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows when he saw this and slowly said, ¡°<span>Lotus Bean Curd, with three kinds of insect poisons added to it. Does your brain feel veryfortable after eating it?¡±


    Qi Xing stopped chewing and frowned. ¡°Insect poison, what do you mean?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou didn¡¯t answer. Instead, he pushed one of his own dishes forward and said, ¡°Eat a bite of this, and I¡¯ll exin to you what it means after you finish.¡±


    Qi Xing looked at him defensively, hesitating a bit before stretching out his chopsticks and taking a bite. After a few seconds, his expression became a little ugly.


    Ye Zhizhou let out a slightugh. He got up and took out a mortar and pestle and several Universal Qingwan Pills. Under Qi Xing''s eyes, he slowly ground them into powder and then sprinkled them into Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion''s dishes bit by bit. He said, ¡°This pill in my hand is called the Universal Qingwan Pill, I had someone specially make them tobat the insect poison in Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion''s dishes. This was also added to the Fu Yuan dishes that you just ate. Does your mind feel more clear-headed right now?"


    Qi Xing stared at Ye Zhizhou''s hand, which was sprinkling the powder, with a calm face, not speaking at all.


    Ye Zhizhou once again pushed over the lotus bean curd that had been sprinkled with the powered Universal Qingwan Pills, and then pushed forward a Gentleman''s Pavilion dish that was untouched by the pills. He continued, ¡°In case you feel that just now was a mistake, you can confirm it again.¡±


    ¡°No need.¡± Qi Xing was naturally very sensitive to smells. After eating Fu Yuan''s dishes, he had already realized that something was wrong with the smell of Gentleman''s Pavilion''s dishes. Moreover, he had recently felt that his mind was covered with a hazy feeling. But just now, the hazy feeling vanished and his recently dulled sense of smell had returned to normal¡­


    He raised his head and looked deeply at Ye Zhizhou before sincerely apologizing, and then picked up the document he had pushed away earlier.


    [The probability of Qi Xing and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Ten minutester, Qi Xing remained silent after he finished reading the documents. He let out a deep sigh, leaned back in his chair andughed at himself. ¡°I was actually deceived by this kind of scheme¡­¡±


    [The probability of Qi Xing and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 20%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Ye Zhizhou sat back in his chair, his attitude bing more rxed. "Now, can we have a proper discussion?"


    Qi Xing looked at him and listlessly nodded his head.<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Weeping Autumn for the grenade! Thank you Iceberg for the two mines! Thank you Jun Shi, Du Zhuan, 1¡ã Pudding, Laotan and Plum Blossom Spirit for the mine! Love you all very much! =3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: It''s the weekend~\(¨R¨Œ¨Q)/~happy weekend everyone!</strong>


    <strong>PS: And then the bear child came QvQ</strong>


    Next chapter is wild, actually the next few chapters are all wild LOL

 Chapter 97

    Ye Zhizhou showed Qi Xing various records of the protagonist employing a water army to pour ck water on Fu Xia while boosting her own image. With his spiritual power, he was able to dig up all of the protagonist''s deeply hidden side ounts. The various side ounts had an excessive amount of dark history. Having vicious catfights with others, pouring ck water and tearing apart the other goddesses in the game, praising herself¡­ It took him a whole afternoon of hard work just to sort it out. Some of the abandoned side ounts could even be traced back to the time when the protagonist was still a teenager. Of course, at that time, the main targets for her to defame were her stepmother and sister.


    ¡°Here¡¯s something particr.¡± He very considerately took a document and opened it, pointing to the ID circled in red. He smiled at Qi Xing. ¡°See this ID? Jun Shujing made this side ount half a year ago. It''s part of a manhua group. Her drawing skills are pretty good. I suggest you go and have a look.¡±


    Qi Xing had already received a lot of shocking news today. Seeing that Ye Zhizhou had specifically brought this up, he instinctively felt nervous and shook his head as he said, ¡°I have no interest in manhua. It¡¯s just Shujing¡¯s hobby. It¡¯s probably nothing.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou looked at him sympathetically and sighed, "Young people nowadays are just too naive¡­ You know Dream Continent has a special manhua channel right?"


    Basically, very popr games would always have all kinds of derivative works of art made by yers. Although Qi Xing didn''t pay much attention to these things, he''s aware of this. He nodded and replied, ¡°I¡¯m aware that there are some short manhuas drawn about the in-game sses, it¡¯s pretty interesting.¡±


    ¡°Jun Shujing¡¯s manhua circle has little to do with the official manhua channel, it could just be considered as a special branch. What they¡¯re drawing isn''t the in-game ss characters, but small stories about the game¡¯s Great Gods.¡± Ye Zhizhou looked him up and down, his smile getting increasingly wide. "Can you guess what Jun Shujing drew?"


    His stare made Qi Xing¡¯s hair stand on end. He firmly shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in guessing this.¡±


    ¡°I knew you¡¯d answer like that.¡± He turned sideways and took out the tablet from his briefcase hanging on the back of his chair. He clicked open the bookmarked page and handed the tablet to him. ¡°Look. This was a question she anonymously asked in a harem forum, before entering her manhua group.¡±


    ¡°Harem?¡± Qi Xing frowned.


    He pushed the tablet forward again.


    Qi Xing hesitated for a moment before taking the tablet. He looked at it for a few seconds before his eyes widened and he began to flip through the bookmarked pages.


    Ye Zhizhou leaned back in his chair and sipped on his cup of tea, contentedly enjoying it. After finding this side ount, he also reacted the same way as Qi Xing did. He was so surprised that he couldn''t stop his hand from flipping through the pages! ording to the timeline, when the protagonist created this side ount, she hadn¡¯t collected all seven male leads yet, only having caught Tang Ye and Qi Xing¡ªbut her mind was open and inclusive! So, she went on this harem forum to ask how to capture more excellent men¡­ Maybe it was thementer¡¯s answers that caused her to lose her maiden heart, so she started a porn manhua, yes, a porn manhua! A porn manhua that featured her and the seven male leads doing all sorts of lovey-dovey things!


    Unable to resist his curiosity, he spent 15 minutes skimming through the porn manhua. If he had to describe his feelings, he could only use these three words. Gasping in amazement!


    As he remembered the part about Qi Xing in the manhua, he couldn¡¯t stop his curiosity, so he coughed and asked in a low voice, ¡°When you and Jun Shujing are doing it¡­ You like to, en, like to call her a little enchantress?¡±


    Qi Xing¡¯s hand slipped and his expression twisted as he threw the tablet back at Ye Zhizhou, shaking his head. ¡°No! I never had sex with her! We¡¯re just good friends, not lovers! I just have a good opinion of her¡­ And Tang Ye¡­ Tang Ye just likes her cooking, he has no romantic affection for her! Yu Jiangbo and the others are just regrs at the Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion and can be considered somewhat like Shujing¡¯s business partners. Perhaps they also have good impressions of Shujing but they absolutely haven¡¯t done anything with Shujing!¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was surprised. This waspletely different from what the plot information had said.


    ¡°Is there really no rtionship between you guys? Then, why does everyone say that you all <span>worship Jun Shujing?¡± He opened the porn manhua once again and pointed out a few dialogues. ¡°No hobbies of spanking, calling her little enchantress, double **, low growling when excited, or feeling pleasure when secretly buying sexy lingerie online?¡±


    Qi Xing was falling apart and wanted to raise his hand to block his ears. ¡°No! None of them! You¡­ Shujing¡­. she¡­ How could she draw these sorts of things?!¡±


    [The probability of Qi Xing and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, may the host persist in his efforts. The first soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Unexpectedly, the g was directly pulled out¡­ The reaction was so fierce, so it seemed like Qi Xing really wasn''t with the protagonist. Perhaps, the other male leads also aren¡¯t interested in her¡­ He <span>regretfully (?) set down the tablet and swept over Qi Xing with a benevolent gaze, saying, ¡°Well, since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s put the matter of Jun Shujing aside. Let¡¯s first calcte the debt you owe me for helping Jun Shujing suppress my Fu family, and for me being kind-hearted enough to detoxify you today."


    <span>Chills ran down Qi Xing¡¯s back, and he didn¡¯t dare to act like a young master in front of Ye Zhizhou again. He obediently said, ¡°I can exin the matter of suppressing the Fu family¡­ Shujing said that there was a problem with Fu Yuan''s ingredients and that consuming too much will cause damage to the body. But, because your Fu family was a powerful backer it was useless to report it. She couldn¡¯t do anything, so she pleaded to us to help her block the Fu family¡¯s resources to avoid more people being poisoned by your dishes.¡±


    ¡°So it turns out that it was our Fu Yuan¡¯s dishes that were poisonous¡­¡± Ye Zhizhou tapped on the table, propping up the tablet while erging the portions of the porn manhua that starred Qi Xing. He pointed at it. ¡°Tell me, who exactly has the poisonous dishes?¡±


    Qi Xing turned his head, not wanting to look at his naked appearance in the manhua. He stiffly replied, ¡°Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion''s dishes.¡±


    ¡°And whose dishes helped you detoxify?¡±


    "Fu Yuan''s dishes."


    ¡°Do you know what to do now?¡±


    Qi Xing turned around to look at him and moved his hand to lift his coat. ¡°I have here¡­¡±


    Bang!


    The private room''s door was kicked open.


    The waiter and the manager stood at the door, shaking and trembling before saying in a small voice, ¡°Young¡­ Young Master, this guest demanded toe to this room once he was aware that you were here. I-I couldn''t stop him¡­"


    Ye Zhizhou looked at the tall man standing in front of the manager with a stiff face and asked, ¡°Excuse me, who are you?¡± The spiritual power floating in the air had already begun to dance happily. His hands holding the tablet tightened and he tried to keep his expression calm. ¡°If you want to have a meal, please make a reservation. This private room is upied.¡± As he said this, his eyes slid across the man''s evil looking face, wildly drooling in his heart. His lover''s appearance in this life is really¡­ Really makes him want to pounce! He thought that he would''ve met his lover in-game first, he didn''t expect that he would end up meeting him in real life before that.


    Ge Lu quickly sensed that there was a gentle force slowly surrounding him, which rapidly relieved his headache. His tense body slightly rxed as he carefully swept across Ye Zhizhou''s face, before his eyes fell on the tablet in his hands. His expression then became ck and he turned his head to look at Qi Xing, who was only lifting his coat, but looked like he was about to take off his clothes. He sneered. ¡°Ye Zhizhou, are you looking to die? Instead of doing the quests when you had the time to, you actually ran off to y with pretty boys?" ¡±


    Qi Xing suddenly set down the hand that was just lifting his coat, revealing a card in his hand. ¡°You¡¯ve misunderstood me, sir. I merely wanted to give this card to Brother Fu.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re that GM?¡± Ye Zhizhou was shocked, letting the tablet in his hand fall to the table with a thud. ¡°You¡¯re unexpectedly the fierce and extremely tyrannical dude? The one that threatened to kill me down to level 0? You¡¯re¡­¡± The more he said, the angrier he felt. He got up and pounded the table, angrily pointing at him. "You''re the one looking for death!"


    Ge Lu stared him down and suddenly pushed his finger aside, before takingrge strides forward with a murderous expression on his face.


    Qi Xing saw his abnormal expression and hurried forward to block him. ¡°Sir, please leave, I¡­¡±


    ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Ge Lu lightly and effortlessly pushed Qi Xing aside, quickly approaching Ye Zhizhou who was still staring at him with fearless eyes. Relying on his long arms, Ge Lu directly put one hand on Ye Zhizhou¡¯s shoulder, took a step forward and grabbed his waist with the other hand to pull him into his embrace. Then, he lowered his head and kissed Ye Zhizhou.


    Qi Xing, the waiter, and the manager, who all thought they would see a fight, were all shocked.


    Familiar smell, familiar spiritual power, and even this unreasonable manner was familiar. There was a smiling expression in Ye Zhizhou¡¯s eyes and he deliberately reached out to push Ge Lu away and tightly pressed his lips together to prevent the other from prying it open.


    The hand wrapped around his waist tightened and the hand on his shoulder moved to pinch his chin. The ambiguous grinding on his lips became stronger.


    This person was really¡­ His mouth was forced open, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Ge Lu. Ye Zhizhou used the hand which was previously trying to push Ge Lu away to teasingly stroke his firm chest instead. He leaned forward, stuck out his tongue and lightly licked the other¡¯s lips.


    Ge Lu was momentarily stunned by his sudden response and Ye Zhizhou took the opportunity to finally to push him away. He wiped his lips and turned his head to look at Qi Xing. ¡°Was the kissing show fun to watch?¡±


    Qi Xing quickly snapped out of it, promptly turning his head away before stammering, ¡°B-brother Fu, it seems that today isn¡¯t suitable for the conversation. I-I¡¯ll take my leave first. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t¡­ speak about your affairs.¡±


    He actually ran away¡­ Ye Zhizhou looked to the waiter and manager standing at the door again and smiled. ¡°You know what you should do, right?¡±


    The manager¡¯s scalp became numb. He quickly nodded his head, turned the waiter, who was still in a state of shock, around and grabbed the private room''s door handle. ¡°I didn''t see anything today. Young Master, please continue, continue¡­¡±


    The door closed with a click, leaving only Ye Zhizhou and Ge Lu in the room.


    The hand on his waist tightened once again, his body immediately fell into a warm andforting embrace.


    ¡°Dear sir,¡± Ye Zhizhou prevented Ge Lu¡¯s face from lowering again and smiled. ¡°If you continue acting like this when I still don¡¯t even know your name, I¡¯ll be very troubled.¡±


    ¡°Ge Lu.¡± This cold-faced handsome man was still beautiful, even when he was acting like a hooligan. He rubbed his head against Ye Zhizhou¡¯s palm and closed his eyes contentedly. "As expected, it''s you¡­ In the future, stop messing with my mind."


    Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows. His lover''s ability to say romantic words has increased in this life, ah.


    "But also¡­ Your face," Ge Lu opened his eyes, raising his hand to lightly touch his face and frowned. "Why is it different from your in-game face?"


    ¡°Aren¡¯t you different from your in-game appearance as well?¡± Ye Zhizhou looked at his thick and long eyshes, his hand was itching to pull them out. ¡°Then, do you like what I look like right now, or in the game?¡±


    Ge Lu chuckled, showing off an evil smile and hugged him again as he said, ¡°yer Ye Zhizhou, to thank you for your contribution to the game, on behalf of the Dreaming Continent production team, I am gifting you a small gift."


    His thigh was lightly rubbed, and Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hands became even itchier. He asked, ¡°What gift?¡±


    Ge Lu slowly lowered his head, his lips getting closer and closer. He looked at Ye Zhizhou directly, with deep and charming eyes, saying with an ambiguous and low voice, ¡°Of course, the gift is¡­ me. This gift can¡¯t be returned or exchanged, is bounded on eptance and the time allotted is your entire lifetime, do you wish to ept?¡±


    This appearance, the leg that was rubbing against his, as well as this ambiguous atmosphere¡­ Ye Zhizhou put his arms around Ge Lu, slightly raising his head to kiss his lips as he smiled. ¡°This gift is pretty good. I ept.¡±


    When Ge Lu heard this, his body and mind both immediately became impassioned. He couldn''t help lowering his head, kissing Ye Zhizhou deeply. The strength he put into the embrace seemed like he was trying to strangle someone. He had been searching for this "Ye Zhizhou" for a good ten years, now, he had finally found the right person. He must firmly capture this person and not give him any chance to escape!


    After the real recipes were leaked out, Jun Shujing¡¯s business in the game suffered a devastating blow. More than half of the yers withdrew from her trade union and her food business shrunk overall. All of the various talented yers who had been won over by her buffed foods were quickly poached and divided amongst other major trade unions. In just a few days, the name Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion was synonymous with a joke.


    On the game forums, there was a wave of posts exposing Great God Jing Shu. The protagonist¡¯s various dark histories were dug out by experts and her reputation was quickly ruined. How high the yers had regarded her before was how hard she fell now.


    He finallypleted the 89th task. Ye Zhizhou said goodbye to Married for Wealth and the others, found the nearest rest area to sit down and opened the game''s various ranking boards. The protagonist¡¯s name had already fallen from the wealth ranking''s top ten a few days ago. And due to her influence, the ranks of several male leads, who were involved with her business, also fell a lot. It was somewhat sad to look at.


    [The probability of Yu Jiangbo, Sun Fanchen, He Nian and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 70%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    70%¡­ Tang Ye, Shi Zhe, and the protagonist''s love probability fell to 80% and didn''t move again. Even Bao Yanan, who had thergest drop, still only dropped 50%. It seems like the previously released dark history on the forums still wasn''t sufficient, or, it might be that the protagonist¡¯s insect toxin effects were too persistent and strong.


    He looked at the Holy Level Quest prompt that was floating in midair, moved his fingers, and took the initiative to send friend requests to all the male leads. He sent out a group message and invited them all to participate in the task of killing the Zerg queen a few dayster. He thought of an evil trick and sent the same invitation to the protagonist. How could they not eat buffed foods for the hard task of killing the Zerg queen? Since they needed to eat buffed foods, then wouldn''t it be very convenient for them to eat his food that had the Universal Qingwan Pill in it?


    [Friendly Reminder: The Universal Qingwan Pill is unable to be brought into the game. ]


    The scheme that was forming in his mind froze. It was like he was struck with a random lightning bolt during a clear sky, he forgot about this! Tongtian had no way to replicate the various pill effects into the game. Fuck!


    [Another friendly reminder: Host can refine his own pills in the game.]


    Ye Zhizhou pulled at his hair. ¡°But, where can I find the strange herbs needed to refine these pills when they only exist in the space?"


    [Can be reced by herbs with simr effects. Please refer to the protagonist¡¯s insect poison.]


    ¡­ That kind of method seems a bit feasible. He had studied pill refining for decades in his previous life so he has a bit of experience. It¡¯s decided, he¡¯ll make the pills himself! In the real world, it¡¯s not easy to gather all the male leads together. It¡¯s better to do it in the game!


    He opened his friend list and saw that Side ount 07 was online, so he happily went over¡ªlooking for the herbs for these pills is hard work, he might as well let his cheating device of a lover look for them. Right now, he has to go have a ¡°proper¡± chat with all the male leads that have epted his friend request. <hr>


    The author has something to say:


    Thank you Drizzling All My Life for the grenades and rockets! Thank you Iceberg for the two mines. Thank you Jun Shi, Weeping in Autumn, Arriving in Dark Clouds, and the Green Bamboo Snake for the mine! I love you so much = 3=

    PS: Missed two mistakes. I¡¯ll catch them!


    Lmao this chapter was hrious to tl LOL. Protag was drawing smut of her and the 7 MLs  Next up some facepping ??

 Chapter 98 part1

    After a friendly exchange with all the male leads about the Zerg Queen fighting arrangements, Ye Zhizhou directly abandoned his lover, who wanted to stay with him longer, and went offline to run to the forum and fan the mes. As a result, the topic of Great God Jing Shu, which had recently just calmed down because of no new material, once again hyped up. And because the material disclosed this time was closely rted to the yers'' interests, their enthusiasm was particrly high.


    What a Big y: Actually, I also noticed it. After eating the dishes we made ourselves from following the recipe, there were no debuffs. Yet why do Great God Jing Shu''s dishes give debuffs?


    Daughter-inw I Love You: Did you guys notice yet? Great God Jing Shu¡¯s food will make you feel floaty andfortable after eating. It''ll disappear after a while though, it''s just like taking drugs.


    Angel Wings: Upstairs is saying nonsense! Jing Shu baby¡¯s dishes make you feelfortable after eating it is because of her good cooking skills. You guys are jealous! Saying nonsense! ndering people! Stealing my Jing Shu baby¡¯s recipes wasn''t enough, you actually still want to nder my family''s baby, are you guys still human?!


    Morons should take Medicine: In the past, as I was practicing cooking, I did the wildest thing and added random monster drops to the dishes. The finished products that I made at the time also gave various poisonous and negative effects. Great God Jing Shu¡¯s dishes giving debuffs after consuming it, could it be because she also added some type of monster drop?


    A Little Small Transparent Square: I bet fifty cents that it''s absolutely like this! I¡¯vepared the dishes made by my friends with those made by Jing Shu. There are some subtle differences in taste but the smell was a lot different! What was more frightening was that, when I went to the Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion in real life to have dinner, although I could only eat there once because I was poor, I really felt the light floating feeling. After eating, I didn¡¯t think there was anything wrong with this feeling. I didn¡¯t realize it until the issue became so loud this time, it¡¯s simply too terrifying!


    Seeing Catfights Everyday: Great god Jing Shue out~ Come out and fight~ You''re usually talking on the forum every day, why haven¡¯t you appeared these days~


    Angel Wings: I went to the Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion to eat so many times and had no problem at all! You¡¯re all ndering her!


    Tree Leaves on the Sandbank: You probably didn''t go to the main restaurant in B city. Because I go on frequent business trips, I have tasted the dishes of Gentleman''s Pavilions from all over the country. Only the main restaurant¡¯s dishes taste weird. Last time I went to the main restaurant, I just happened to see a guest m the door and leave. It seems like the customer''s sense of smell was slightly better and smelled that there was a problem with the dishes'' aroma and ran away in disgust.


    He He: Could it be that the Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion opened in real life by Great God Jing Shu also adds insects to the dishes? What the fuck! In the game, eating the dishesced with insects just gives you some debuffs. In real life, eating them could lead to death!


    <span>The yers were shocked, and the passionate gossip soared again, but this time, rather than excitement and curiosity for gossip, their passion was filled with anger and disbelief from their vital interests being vited. Ye Zhizhou watched the crazily rollingments for a bit before logging out of his various side ounts and climbed into bed to sleep.


    The next day, he didn¡¯t log onto the game but went to the restaurant opened by the protagonist¡¯s father. Because of his daughter¡¯s pressure on him, Jun Shujing''s father had to close dozens of his chain restaurants, leaving only 2 with minimal employees. The boss who used to be too busy was now forced into being idle. He worked in his restaurant every day, apanied by his wife and child.


    When Ye Zhizhou arrived, Jun Shujing''s father was holding a tablet, looking through the game forum. His brows were wrinkled and his expression was solemn.


    ¡°Boss Jun.¡± Ye Zhizhou stood in front of the other and directly handed his business card over. ¡°Hello, I¡¯m Fu Ximing. I''m currently in charge of Fu Yuan. I¡¯d like to ask you some things about your daughter, Jun Shujing.¡± After finding out that most of the content in the plot information was inconsistent with actual facts, he thought of the Jun family who were the first to be killed by the protagonist. From just looking at the protagonist¡¯s actions of creating a side ount, and then sshing dirty water on her stepmother and sister, he already suspected that the protagonist¡¯s original story of being ignored by her father, suppressed by her stepmother and bullied by her younger sister was all false.


    Jun Shujing''s father raised his head to look at Ye Zhizhou and then signaled to the waiter, who was walking towards them to receive Ye Zhizhou, to stay away. He took the business card and looked at it. Suddenly he sighed, ¡°I know what you want to ask¡­ It¡¯s my daughter¡¯s fault that your Fu Yuan has be like this. It¡¯s also my fault that I didn¡¯t teach my daughter well¡­ Let¡¯s go and talk in the private room upstairs.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou was a bit taken aback by his excessively kind and gentle attitude. He nodded and followed him upstairs.


    Jun Shujing''s father''s name was Jung Chenguang. He started his business from scratch and could also be considered a small legend in the catering industry of B city. This former big boss experienced the ups and downs of life, but his state of mind became increasingly peaceful. He acted like the boss of an ordinary small restaurant, not having any airs. He led Ye Zhizhou to his seat and said with slight embarrassment, ¡°The restaurant is rather messy. I hope Mr. Fu doesn¡¯t mind. In fact, this branch will be sold after a while. I¡¯m preparing to take my wife and child back to my hometown. My youngest daughter has a body that isn''t in good health and needs to rest."


    Youngest daughter? Ye Zhizhou epted the tea that Jun Chenguang handed him and went over the information of Jun Zhenzhen, the protagonist¡¯s younger sister, in his mind. Jun Zhenzhen, who had been intelligent since childhood, was a freshman at a famous university and was two years younger than the protagonist. Because of her failure in seducing a male leadter, she was beaten to dust by the protagonist. She began to neglect her studies and got diagnosed with a mental illness, and her body rapidly deteriorated. In the original plot, Jun Zhenzhen got addicted to drugs, and in the end, died of an overdose.


    He turned his teacup and deliberated for a bit before he asked, ¡°Your youngest daughter¡¯s illness¡­ The symptoms are, blueness of the skin, frequent loss of consciousness, mental degeneration, irrational behavior, and a lot of spoken nonsense?"


    Jun Chenguang was startled and said, ¡°How does Mr. Fu know¡­¡± His youngest daughter¡¯s illness has never been revealed to the public. When someone asked, he would use the excuse that she had a small car ident and broke her bones, so she needed to rest for several months.


    ¡°I know how to treat this sickness. To be honest, I made a few inquiries about your family before I came here. It isn''t my first time seeing something like your youngest daughter¡¯s sickness." He sent out his spiritual power and made his tone gentler and friendlier. ¡°May I examine your youngest daughter, please?¡±


    Jun Chenguang took him to a quiet apartmentplex near the restaurant. As they walked, he spoke, "Because the n is to go back to my hometown, I''ve already sold off my previous properties. The ce we live in currently is rented, the floor we''re on is a bit high and there''s no elevator. Asking Mr. Fu to not be offended."


    Ye Zhizhou hurriedly expressed that he was fine with it, and he had a better impression of Jun Chenguang. Such a considerate and friendly person doesn''t seem to be someone who wouldpletely neglect his daughter.


    Following Jun Chenguang to the seventh floor, just as they opened the door, they happened to see a middle-aged womaning out of the kitchen holding a bowl of soup.


    ¡°Xiao Wei, there''s a guest." Jun Chenguang greeted the middle-aged woman with this sentence and then turned to Ye Zhizhou. ¡°This is my wife, Jin Wei.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou smiled and greeted the kind-looking Jin Wei. He carefully sized her up and silently put a big question mark on the ''vicious stepmother'' in the plot information.


    Jin Wei¡¯s character was the same as her appearance, very gentle and kind. She hesitated for a moment after learning of Ye Zhizhou''s purpose for visiting. She entered her daughter¡¯s room first to help clean up before letting the two of them in. Worried, she asked, ¡°Zhenzhen''s condition has been getting worse recently. I¡¯m really worried¡­ Mr. Fu, have you really have seen a case like Zhenzhen''s before?"


    [Scanningplete: The insect poison had reached the heart. Three years of life remaining. Applicable pill: Universal Qingwan Pill and Perfect <span>Dabu Pill. ]


    Ye Zhizhouforted Jin Wei with a few phrases and then looked at Jun Zhenzhen, who was lying on the bed, withx eyes and incessant nonsensical talking. His heart sank and he hurried forward to feed her an Anshen pill. When she closed her eyes and fell asleep, he turned to face Jun Chenguang and Jin Wei. He took out the pills to show them, exined their effects in detail, and then asked if they agreed to let her take the medicine.


    Jun Chenguang hesitated, but Jin Wei nodded and directly agreed. In the face of Jun Chenguang''s disapproving eyes, she said with a trace of despair, ¡°Zhenzhen is already like this¡­ It¡¯s better to have this little bit of hope than to continue to drag on like this.¡±


    Jun Chenguang became silent when he heard this and turned around, walking out of the room. A silent acquiescence of Ye Zhizhou''s pill treatment.


    Fortunately, the system was as powerful as ever. Not long after the pill was swallowed, Jun Zhenzhen''splexion became much better. Jun Chenguang was surprised while Jin Wei couldn''t help but cover her mouth and cry in excitement. She turned to face Ye Zhizhou and looked like she wanted to kneel down in front of him. ¡°Thank you, thank you. The hospital was unable to find out the real cause of Zhenzhen''s sickness. They just said it was because she was allergic to something, but if it was really an allergic reaction, why would she be like this¡­ There was no news after my eldest daughter ran away from home. If anything happened to my youngest daughter, I really don¡¯t know how to continue living¡­¡±


    Ye Zhizhou rushed forward to support her up and led the topic in Jun Shujing¡¯s direction. ¡°Your eldest daughter ran away from home? Is she Jun Shujing, the boss of Gentleman''s Pavilion? I''vee here to talk to you exactly about this¡­"


    ¡°The boss of Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion?¡± Jin Wei was stunned and unconsciously interrupted his words, turning her head to look doubtfully at Jun Chenguang. ¡°Chenguang, what does he mean, boss of Gentleman''s Pavilion?¡±


    Jun Chenguang looked away from her, not meeting her gaze and said in a small voice, ¡°Xiao Wei, actually, Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion was opened by Shujing¡­¡±


    ¡°What?!¡± Jin Wei was surprised. She walked forward to pull his arm and frantically said, ¡°So, Shujing has been in the same city as me? Wh-why did you lie to me all this time! I¡¯ve been so worried that she wasn''t doing well outside. How could you¡­"


    Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows. The surprise and worry on Jin Wei¡¯s face were definitely genuine, so¡­ He poked at the little mirror in his pocket and said in his mind, ¡°Tongtian, the hole in your plot data this time, it''s pretty big.¡±


    Tongtian moved its fake wings, like in the game, and decided that silence was golden. <hr>


    Sorry split chapter again! But enjoy the cliff hanger

 Chapter 98 part2

    While waiting for Jun Zhenzhen to wake up, Ye Zhizhou had a good chat with Jun Chenguang and Jin Wei, learning a lot of things that weren''t mentioned in the plot data at all.


    The protagonist¡¯s leg disease had arisen from within the womb, but she could actually walk. It was just that the protagonist herself thought it was ugly to limp, so she demanded to use a wheelchair. Consequently, after using the wheelchair for too long, her leg muscles degenerated and gradually, she couldn''t actually walk anymore.


    Jin Wei had married Jun Chenguang when the protagonist was one year old. After marriage, she always raised the protagonist as her own daughter. Even if she had two childrenter, she still treated the protagonist, this eldest daughter who was in poor health, very wholeheartedly. And because the protagonist had poor health, she was always partial to her. Jin Wei indeed didn''t allow the protagonist to enter the kitchen, but the reason wasn''t the one mentioned in the original plot. It wasn''t that she was afraid that the protagonist would learn how to cook and steal the family fortune, rather, it was more that she was worried Jun Shujing would hurt herself. When the protagonist was a rebellious teenager, she didn¡¯t learn from good examples and secretly started to smoke cigarettes, resulting in somehow harming her body. A lot of oil smoke is produced in the kitchen, so Jin Wei was worried that Jun Shujing would further hurt her body if she inhaled too much oil smoke. Afterwards, she had forbidden her from entering the kitchen.


    As for the part where Jin Wei locked the protagonist up and didn¡¯t let her attend school to make sure she was a wasteplete nonsense. In order to let Jun Shujing have a good future, Jin Wei put all her energy into it. Every year, she would hire 8 to 10 tutors for the protagonist, but the protagonist didn''t like learning. She didn''t want to go to school or learn from the tutors. Later, in order to go against Jin Wei, she would deliberately seduce the male tutors, which forced Jin Wei to change all the tutors into female tutors.


    "Perhaps it was true that she didn¡¯t have any aptitude for learning. Jun Shujing failed to get into a good university after taking her college entrance exams twice. Later on, she abandoned the idea altogether and stopped trying. Instead, she stayed in her room all day to y games. She even begged us to buy her that holographic game pod.¡± Jin Wei sighed, "Zhenzhen couldn''t stand seeing her so dispirited and said a couple of things to her¡­ Later, we found an art school for Shujing. She had liked painting since she was young so we wanted her to continue her studies and be a painter. Afterwards, we would open a small gallery for her¡­ We just didn¡¯t expect that she was so resistant to it that she actually ran away from home.¡±


    Jun Chenguang patted her hand, shook his head and sighed, ¡°It¡¯s not your fault, these years I¡¯ve been¡­¡±


    ¡°It really isn¡¯t Mom¡¯s fault.¡± The door in the corner of the room was pushed open. The still weak Jun Zhenzhen leaned on the door frame with a cold gaze. ¡°Dad, why do you think your businesses suddenly got worse for no reason? It was all because of Sister! Her heart has alreadypletely rotted! On the day of the ident, I went shopping in the city''s central mall and saw sister and a mane out of a women¡¯s clothing store, talking andughing. Do you know how shocked and surprised I was then? She had walked out! Walked out with her own legs! I went up to her to persuade her toe home, but¡­ heh, she almost killed me! It wasn¡¯t until then that I learned that she always hated Mom, Brother and me! And Dad, she thinks you¡¯re biased and ignored her, so she wants to destroy all of the businesses you¡¯re so proud of!¡±


    Jun Chenguang and Jin Wei were shocked when they heard this. Ye Zhizhou opened the plot information, wildly flipping through it before he firmly drew a big X on it.


    ¡°Zhenzhen, you''re saying that Shujing wanted to kill you?¡± Jin Wei got up and went over to support her. Her voice was shaking. ¡°So y-your illness¡­¡±


    ¡°She poisoned me!¡± The rims of Jun Zhenzhen''s eyes slowly turned red, she was both angry and felt wronged. ¡°She said that I loved being beautiful and that I liked wearing skirts to provoke her, so she wanted to make me ugly and let me slowly be a madman everyone hated and then die painfully. Mom, you don¡¯t know how terrible her expression was back then¡­ She¡¯s my sister. The sister I grew up with. How could she do this¡­?¡±


    Jin Wei hugged her with a vacant look in her eyes, and slowly, the rims of her eyes also became red. She didn¡¯t know how to face the truth of what her youngest daughter was saying.


    Jun Chenguang''splexion paled. He tightly gripped his hands together, his eyes filled with disbelief. ¡°How could this be¡­ How could it be Shujing¡­ My restaurants, your illness, she¡­ I thought that she just didn¡¯t want to rely on us anymore and wanted to strive to live by herself.¡±


    <span>Only after a long time did the three of them calm down. Jun Zhenzhen sorted out her moodiness, looked at Ye Zhizhou and said, ¡°I know you, the Young Master of the Fu family. My consciousness only went hazy after the poison had settled for a while, so I was able to hear a bit of the conversation between Jun Shujing and someone else. She has a secret recipe book filled with all kinds of insect poison dishes. She was very happy at that time and said that she had already suppressed the Fu family to the point of no return, by relying on those secret recipes. I remembered that she called the other person Boss Wang. Young Master Fu, thank you for saving me. If you can, I hope that you can stop my sister from continuing to harm people. Those poisons are truly terrible things. No matter how you want to deal with her, I will help you.¡±


    Jun Chenguang''s mouth moved when he heard these words but in the end, he didn''t say anything to refute them. The shock that Jin Wei received today was immense and she leaned on the wall to the side, with the same vacant expression on her face, staring into space.


    Ye Zhizhou took in the three people¡¯s reactions, slightly sighed in his heart, and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won''t allow her to continue to harm people.¡± The protagonist of this world would even hurt her own family. It¡¯s really¡­


    Another three dayster, the protagonist had be notorious on the forum and became the target of everyone¡¯s insults. In the game, the protagonist¡¯s name hadpletely disappeared from the wealth ranking. In the real world, Gentleman''s Pavilion''s business experienced upheaval several times and many stores were closed. Except for the main restaurant in B city, most of the other stores that were still open had poor business. Because of the rapid expansion, after losing most of their business and the ie support from the game, Gentleman''s Pavilion''s fundings were on the verge of copse.


    Relying on his undercover agent Qi Xing, Ye Zhizhou clearly understood the protagonist''s current situation.


    ¡°Yu Jiangbo and some others refused to give Jun Shujing money?¡± He switched the hand holding his phone and reached for his mouse. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did Tang Ye and Shi Zhe also refuse?¡± Tang Ye was the one who was most deeply poisoned by the protagonist¡¯s dishes, while Shi Zhe was the great hero who helped the protagonist cure her legs. Their feelings for the protagonist should be a little deeper than the others.


    ¡°They refused as well.¡± Qi Xing paused before adding, ¡°I asked them to have a meal at Fu Yuan a few days ago. After we ate, I heard that Tang Ye had diarrhea for two days. Shi Zhe had some rashes. The others also experienced some sickness. You¡­ should be careful, their hatred for Fu Yuan right now is quite deep.¡±


    In order to detoxify as many potentially poisoned people as possible, all of Fu Yuan''s recent dishes have crushed pills added to them. The symptoms that the male leads experienced are normal during detoxification. Ye Zhizhou¡¯s hand that was moving the mouse stopped and he sneered. ¡°I''m helping them detoxify yet they hate me, are they tired of living?¡±


    Qi Xing awkwardly coughed and weakly said, ¡°I¡¯ll give them an indirect exnation. They should also be aware that their body is gradually feeling better.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and directly hung up. He then clicked open the thread that Jun Zhenzhen posted with her real name.


    As soon as Jun Zhenzhen¡¯s post came out, the game forum blew up again¡ªthe exposing of God Jing Shu actually extended from the game into the real world, moreover, the people who were involved in exposing her went after her in real life and didn''t stop attacking her. This was simply the major show of the year, too exciting!


    At eight o¡¯clock that night, Ye Zhizhou stood outside the instance, formed a team with all the male leads who all logged on, and used the team summoningmand. After the male leads appeared in front of him one by one like radishes, he opened the sharing function and clicked on the game forum. "Killing the Zerg queen requires 50 yers to cooperate so I also invited some other experts. Before theye, let¡¯s have a look at the forum. Oh, right, by the way, I¡¯ve also prepared some snacks for you to taste. Have some, they all give buffs.¡±


    Ge Lu, in the form of Side ount nth, came forward to give the nkly staring male leads the food. He smiled insincerely as he said, ¡°Eat. Work properly after you finish eating.¡±


    Male leads: "¡­"


    ¡°Behave properly. Don¡¯t randomly eat vinegar!¡± Ye Zhizhou swatted him forcefully and opened Jun Zhenzhen¡¯s post. After looking at it for a couple of seconds, he stopped and then closed out of it. ¡°I also called God Jing Shu this time to help clear the instance. It seems that it¡¯s a little rude to read the forums about her behind her back. Let¡¯s change to something else.¡±


    Qi Xing nced at him speechlessly, in those few seconds, what they should or shouldn''t have seen, they all saw it. Opening it and then closing it, isn¡¯t that just to make them interested in it?


    Sure enough, the other male leads'' expressions all changed after ncing at the post''s title. Because they were usually busy in the real world, they didn¡¯t have much time to y games and had even less time to look at the forums. For the male leads whose gossip knowledge was still at ¡°Jing Shu¡¯s food has problems, so her business was affected¡±, the words ¡°intentional murder, food poisoning¡± that they just saw had a huge impact.


    After eating at Fu Yuan, the male leads whose brains were now less damaged quickly took the bait left by Ye Zhizhou and looked at each other. Yu Jiangbo spoke for all of them, ¡°Let''s just look at the first post. Jing Shu is our friend so we have to care about those contents."


    Ge Lu pulled out his sword. "Eat. I''ll show you when you eat."


    Male leads: "¡­"


    Ye Zhizhou pulled his lover back and once again opened that post. ¡°Then, before God Jing Shues, we can look at that post.¡± The fish bit the bait and the was set, now he was just waiting for the protagonist toe over.


    How does it feel to pull out all the gs at once? He''s looking forward to it!


    Ge Lu nced at him with jealous eyes, his expression became darker, and he moved to block his view of the male leads. He said sinisterly, ¡°Do you think they look better than me?¡±


    This vinegar bucket! Ye Zhizhou rolled his eyes and raised his hand to cover his face. ¡°What¡¯s so handsome about your fake face? If you have the guts, use your real face!¡±


    ¡¾Your friend Side ount 007 is offline. ¡¿


    Ye Zhizhou: "¡­"


    ¡¾Your friend GM Lu is online.¡¿


    The air suddenly distorted. Ge Lu appeared in front of him, wearing the special GM only red robe. He directly stretched out his arms and dragged him into his embrace. Ye Zhizhou was now eye to eye, nose to nose, and could feel Ge Lu''s breath on him, ¡°From now on, you can only look at me.¡±


    The male leads looked down at the snacks in their hands one by one¡­ So, did these snacks also have the nickname of dog food?


    That evil and bewitching face, paired with his flirtatious air and red robes¡­ This handsomeness¡­ Ye Zhizhou unreservedly returned his lover''s hug, wildly drooling. "I''m looking! Only looking at you. You''re the best looking!"


    Ge Lu smiled and the male leads all choked on dog food.<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Jun Shi, Iceberg, Me (Little angel this name of yours is too easy for people to misunderstand) for the two mines! Thank you Arriving in Dark Clouds, Demeter, Lotus, Du Zhuan, Drizzling All My Life, 1 ¡ã pudding for the mine! I love you so much =3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: Temperature is going down, stay warm everyone(*/¦Ø£Ü*)</strong>


    Ahahaha all that dog food


    Also wow the protag this time is vicious, so much poisoning

 Chapter 99

    Jun Zhenzhen¡¯s post was written concisely, with a very clear and eye-catching main point. She started the post off from Jun Shujing¡¯s college entrance exam failures and wrote all the way to before hera, and the changes at home after her ¡®illness¡¯ was cured. The post made references to all the attached pictures, showing real evidence and validity. Every second, this post poked at the mental state of the gossipy yers.


    The male leads'' expressions changed multiple times. They couldn''t help stopping several times to exchange information with each other. When Shi Zhe saw the part of Jun Zhenzhen coincidentally meeting Jun Shujing in the central city mall, he called to stop reading for the first time. "I know about this part because I was with her when this happened. After that girl appeared, Shujing said goodbye to me very fast, and then took the girl with her. Sheter exined to me that her family found out about her opening a restaurant, and was trying to find her everywhere to stop her, harass her and ask her for money.


    ¡°I know about this, too.¡± Tang Ye slightly frowned and said with a heavy tone, ¡°I also helped her block her father¡¯s businesses. She told me that doing this type of thing would stop her family from harassing her again.¡±


    With a dark face, Sun Fanchen continuously spun the dart in his hand and said, ¡°I helped her move to a vi with better security and secrecy. I sympathized with her so I gave her 40% off too, even throwing in three years of property management¡­ Hmph, turned out that she was lying about them ing to harass her¡¯.¡±


    [The probability of Sun Fancheng and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Tang Ye nced at him. He wasn''t in a good mood so he unconsciously took some more snacks to eat. Shi Zhe looked at the two men with the thoughts in his head whirling, he shook his head and sighed, "It seems like we were all cheated."


    [The probability of Tang Ye, Shi Zhe, and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 60%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Although all the other male leads didn¡¯t know about these events when they happened, Jun Shujing told them about it and they more or less all helped her. Now it looked like all of them got yed.


    [The probability of Yu Jiangbo, He Nian, and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 40%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Bao Yanan¡¯s expression was the calmest of the several male leads. He nced at the others, picked up a snack and ate it. He looked liked he was at the movies with his friends. "What else is there? I''m more concerned about that intentional murder part.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou held his lover back, who was once again starting to release a cold aura, and moved to the next page of the post. "It should be at the bottom."


    Jun Zhenzhen¡¯s poisoning was the main point of her descriptive post. She spent a lot of time describing it, and because she used the first-person point of view, it allowed people to experience it more vividly. The male leads, who were only slightly frowning at first, all became serious and sat up to read the post carefully.


    "A light and airyforting feeling¡­ A slowly changing fragrance¡­ The brain began to be fuzzy¡­¡± Bao Yanan slowly repeated these words, his eyes slightly narrowed and the MT¡¯s unique golden light shield circled his body, disying his agitated mood. ¡°It¡¯s no wonder now why I recently felt like my brain wasn¡¯t working properly, it turns out I was almost killed by slow poison.¡±


    [The probability of Bao Yanan and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Tang Ye¡¯s expression became very terrible. He tightened his hands and gripped the sword at his waist. ¡°No wonder I smelled that person''s scent after eating the food¡­ It turned out to just be an illusion.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve had asionalpses in concentration during my surgeries. I had thought that it was because I was too tired and just wasn¡¯t in good condition. I didn¡¯t dare to go to the operating table during this period because of that.¡± Shi Zhe¡¯s eyes shed with an unknown emotion before it became anger. ¡°I was kind enough to help her with her legs, and she actually harmed me like this.¡±


    [The probability of Tang Ye, Shi Zhe and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    <span>Yu Jiangbo was silent for a bit before saying, ¡°Do you guys remember? Shujing once said that there was a problem with Fu Yuan¡¯s dishes and that eating too much would hurt your body, but she said it was useless for her to report it and hoped that we could help¡­ After that, she invited us to have a meal in Fu Yuan to verify her statement. We went there and indeed did feel somewhat ufortable after eating, but it disappeared shortly. Could it be that it wasn''t Fu Yuan¡¯s dishes that had a problem, but it was that she poisoned us already?"


    When Ge Lu heard that they actually suspected that there was something wrong with his lover¡¯s restaurant, he couldn¡¯t help unsheathing his sword again. Ye Zhizhou prevented him from doing so and also turned around to block his mouth, so he didn''t say anything he shouldn''t say. Ge Lu was stunned, but then quickly put his arms around Ye Zhizhou and kissed him back, throwing away his anger and other emotions into the sky.


    Qi Xing¡¯s face contorted as he looked away and resignedly helped Ye Zhizhou to exin, ¡°I was just about to tell you guys this. I took you guys to Fu Yuan for dinner a few days ago and didn¡¯t you all get sick after that? That''s normal because your bodies were in detoxification mode. Fu Yuan found a problem within Gentleman''s Pavilion''s dishes, so they reported it and also added something like an antidote to their dishes in the meantime. Those who weren''t poisoned wouldn''t feel anything, but those who were poisoned would feel some difort, but afterwards, their body would be healthier."


    Sun Fanchen sneered. "Jun Shujing has such courage, going as far as using poison."


    ¡°It¡¯s not surprising that my appetite has improved these past two days, and that I couldn¡¯t even eat any food from Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion. I felt sick the moment I smelled it.¡± He Nian suddenly understood and then bowed his head in shame. ¡°Back then, we had suppressed the Fu family and harmed a perfectly good culinary family into ruin¡­ When Qi Xing invited us to dinner, we actually questioned it. But in reality, you actually saved our lives. We¡¯re really¡­¡±


    The male leads were silent after hearing these words.


    [The probability of Yu Jiangbo, He Nian and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou pushed his unwilling to move and sticky lover away to look at the system¡¯s pop-ups, nodding with satisfaction. Very good. The love probability of all six gs has fallen below the safety line. When the residual insect poison in the male leads¡¯ bodies were all gone, making them free from the insect poison''s influence and no longer brain-damaged, the gs could probably be pulled out. Unfortunately, the in-game pills that he refined weren¡¯t as effective as Tongtian¡¯s pills in reality. They could only help the male leads keep a clear and calm mind. Otherwise, with all the snacks they just ate, all of the poison would¡¯ve already been cleared.


    At this moment, it became 8:30 pm, and all the other invited experts came one after another. Ge Lu couldn''t use his GM ount to participate in the instance, so he changed back to the side ount and continued to stick to Ye Zhizhou''s side.


    The protagonist came exactly at 9:00 pm, bringing along with her a fangirl army.


    The experts, who were exchanging greetings and discussing possible rewards obtained for defeating the Zerg Queen, looked over at her one by one before quickly turning away to continue talking, tacitly ignoring her.


    Jun Shujing¡¯s face was smiling, but in her heart, she was hatefully clenching her teeth so hard they almost wanted to shatter. Her in-game business was nowpletely destroyed and the people who once ttered her began to joke about her, ignore her and the worse ones even began to hate her and retaliate against her! All this had changed since Ye Zhizhou triggered the Holy Level Quest! If she hadn''t wanted to teach him a lesson during thisst task, she wouldn''t havee today at all!


    The brain-damaged fan Angel Wings also came with the protagonist. When she saw the experts'' actions, she couldn''t helping out to angrily say, ¡°How can you do this to my family''s Jing Shu baby!! If it wasn¡¯t for the buffed food she had provided you, would you have been able to be great experts?" As she said this she looked over at the male leads who were standing together with a wronged expression on her face. ¡°Ye Tang baby, why are you standing so far? Come here. And Xing baby, why haven''t youe to find Jing Shu baby recently? Could it be that you also believe in those deceitful stories on the forum? Zhe baby, I¡­"


    ¡°This youngdy,¡± Shi Zhe couldn''t stand the way she was addressing them, and couldn''t help but interrupt her words to say, ¡°I don¡¯t know you. Please don''t address me so casually."


    There were several bursts ofughter in the crowd. Angel Wing''s face turned red, and she looked at him with tears. ¡°You, you¡­ I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person! A waste of Jing Shu baby''s good treatment towards you back then, ungrateful! Thankless wretch!"


    Shi Zhepletely didn¡¯t know how to deal with such a girl, but said, ¡°This youngdy, Jing Shu and I are just ordinary friends. Please don''t say words that people can misunderstand."


    ¡°No! You obviously love her! Y-you even helped her treat her leg. Was it because you saw that Jing Shu baby no longer has money, so you want to abandon her? You''ve crossed the line! I didn¡¯t think you were this kind of snobbish person!¡± Angel Wings became even more angered.


    I Married for Wealth was the most annoyed with this Angel Wings. He sneered when he heard her words and said, ¡°Shi Zhe is a doctor right? Isn¡¯t it normal for doctors to help patients? Moreover, the great young master of the Shi family needs to go to that snobbish Shujing for pocket money? Can you mend your IQ and have more care when speaking?¡±


    ¡°Exactly.¡± Another female expert who was secretly in love with Shi Zhe couldn¡¯t help opening her mouth to coldly add, ¡°Those disgusting rumors of seven men going after one woman were all spread out by you brainless fans. Everyone is in the same circle. Who doesn¡¯t know who? Obviously, it¡¯s just an ordinary friend rtionship, but deliberately bewitching fans to go out and spread rumors, simply disgusting. Oh, don¡¯t say that I¡¯m ungrateful, I haven¡¯t eaten those poisonous Royal Feast foods with added ingredients."


    Angel Wings was about to explode again but Jun Shujing quickly grabbed her and choked out, ¡°Little Wings is still young. Are you guys all happy teaming up and bullying her?" As she said this she looked at Ye Zhizhou and put on a smile of ¡°I¡¯m being bullied but I¡¯m staying strong". "Let¡¯s go in. My sisters and I will work hard in today¡¯s task. Thank you for unlocking so many food buffs for us."


    ¡°Great god Jing Shu is being polite.¡± Ye Zhizhou gave an even more fake smile than hers and then said in embarrassment, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, there¡¯s only one space left, and the people I''ve invited have all¡­¡±


    Jun Shujing frowned and asked, ¡°Just adding one person isn''t ok? Little Wings is young, but her healing technique is very good. I see that the number of healers you have is rather small. It''ll be safer with one more. Everyone is here to help you and you''re being this picky¡­¡±


    The female expert who was secretly in love Shi Zhe heard the words and snorted. ¡°If he wants to be picky, he can be picky, OK? Is the Holy Level Quest''sst task some white cabbage you can pick off the road, where you can participate if you want to participate?"


    Jun Shujing was reprimanded, and herplexion became very ugly. Looking at Ye Zhizhou, she said in a rxed voice, ¡°It was wrong of me but I was just saying this for your own good. Can we really not add another person?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou shook his head, motioned to the experts who had already assembled for a while, and spread out his hands.


    Angel Wings pouted and pulled at Jun Shujing¡¯s sleeve. ¡°I heard that there was a special reward for thisst task¡­¡± As she said this, her gaze swept through the expert''s circle, and then her eyes fell on the shadow of some gray-robed stranger. She then said in a loud voice, ¡°That person is so poorly equipped, and she''s not some famous expert. Why is she in the team? Just kick her out and add me in, wouldn''t that be fine?¡±


    Ye Zhizhou heard this, looked back and saw Jun Zhenzhen in the side ount provided by Ge Lu, looking over cooly before moving a bit to reveal the shining top quality weapon in her hand.


    The expertsughed again.


    ¡°Are you going to join or not?¡± Ge Lu nced at Jun Shujing coldly, turning to point toward Jun Zhenzhen''s ount, and looked at the yers who were watching the show on the side. ¡°I have more than ten such side ounts. Who wants to rece Jing Shu? As long as your skills are good enough.¡±


    Suddenly, there was an uproar amongst the yers. More than a dozen side ounts with purple weapons, this person really has money! It was equivalent to about 10000 poor yers ying.


    Hearing this, Jun Shujing quickly held down Angel Wings and said with a smile, ¡°This child is just a little noisy. Don¡¯t mind her. Let''s enter the instance. It¡¯s important to defeat the Zerg Queen.¡± She said this as she sent Ye Zhizhou a team request.


    The watching yers sighed in disappointment. The experts who didn¡¯t want to see Jun Shujing couldn¡¯t help sneering. Angel Wings was angered to the point of ring at all of them.


    The team gathered together, the golden quest prompt in midair once again changed, and Ye Zhizhou tapped on it, sending everyone to thest instance. After some distortion in the atmosphere, the image in front of them turned into a dark cave. The mission guide showed that the Zerg Queen was deep inside the cave. They needed to clear the little monsters before they could get close. All of them were experts. The process of clearing the small monsters was very smooth. A quarter of an hourter, they all stood in front of the Zerg Queen.


    Poof, a small fireball suddenly came from a crafty angle, going straight towards the quietly sleeping Zerg Queen. Everyone was shocked. The task hadn''t been divided, themands haven''t been given, the method of fighting hasn''t been discussed so how could someone directly attack? Were they brain-damaged?


    Ye Zhizhou, who had already expected that the protagonist would make trouble, threw a rarerge-scale silencing charm directly at the fireball, extinguishing it. He turned to look at the protagonist and smiled. ¡°Great god Jing Shu, you''re a healer. Please calm down a little and not randomly use skills.¡±


    Everyone red at her, and Jun Shujing, with a stiff face tried to maintain her calm expression. She said sheepishly, ¡°I¡¯m a little nervous. My hands shook. I¡¯m sorry.¡±


    ¡°Hands shook? Only fools would believe you." Brother Married for Wealth sneered with disdain. He didn''t understand at all why Ye Zhizhou had invited such a ck-hearted and rotten woman.


    Jun Shujing showed a helpless, bullied expression on her face, but she didn¡¯t retort. She habitually turned to lean on Tang Ye and wanted him to defend her. However, at this moment, Tang Ye''s heart was full of disgust and anger towards her, and he stepped away from her with a dark face.


    The golden characters in midair suddenly changed. After thoroughly describing the Zerg Queen''s attack pattern, a prompt came up.


    ¡¾<i>Livestream of the entire instance beginning. Good luck yers.</i>¡¿


    An expert doubtfully asked, ¡°Livestream? How is it livestreaming this?"


    Ge Lu opened team sharing and clicked on the world channel. ¡°After the livestream starts, there''ll be another live panel on the world channel. yers can clearly see the process of us defeating the Zerg Queen from this panel. You need to pay a certain amount of gold coins to watch the livestream. When the task ispleted, the system will distribute the gold coins to you ording to your contribution.¡± That is to say, the leeches won''t earn anything and the hard workers will make big bucks.


    Thinking about the number of online yers in maind China at night, and then thinking about the poprity of this Holy Level Quest¡­ Getting rich overnight wasn''t a dream!


    The experts were excited. Jun Shujing¡¯s face became dark. The entire instance was actually livestreamed. Then, how could she cause problems?! If she knew about this, she would''ve insisted on Angel Wings being added. That way, she could throw the me to her¡­ It was all because of that gray-robed female yer! If she had money to burn, why was she just using a purple weapon!?


    Thinking of this, her gaze unconsciously turned towards the yer who had been standing at the back of the team and found that the other side also happened to be looking over. She was startled, hurriedly calmed down and smiled at the other.


    Jun Zhenzhen moved her eyes and smiled at her. Then, she raised her finger to point at the shared livestream panel above the team, hooked her lips and mouthed a sentence¡ªJun Shujing, you''re finished.


    Because the light was so dim, Jun Shujing wasn''t able to clearly see what she said. She thought the other side was greeting her. She smiled at the other again and then turned her head back.<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Iceberg for the two mines! Thank you Jun Shi, Arriving in Dark Clouds, Weeping Autumn, and Potato Lord for the mine! I love you guys so much =3=</strong>

    One more chapter and we¡¯ve made it to 100!! <s> Actually it¡¯ll be like 2 more bc chapter 100 is getting chopped in half but yea¡­</s> Also new arc soon!! Look forward to it!

 Chapter 100 part1

    The system only gave them three opportunities to fight the Queen. The first time, they hadn¡¯t developed a tacit understanding, so when the Queen reached 50% HP, they were all killed. The second time, they adjusted their y styles, changed their positioning and also had a little more group cohesion, so they fought a lot more smoothly..


    Ye Zhizhou yed a close range ss, which wasn¡¯t convenient formanding so he gave the leadership role to Ge Lu, the one with many side ounts who was conveniently ying a long range ss. As a GM and the creator of Dreaming Continent, Ge Lu was too familiar with all the mechanics of each boss. Although hismands were short, they were very precise. ording to hismands, everyone exchanged positions and hit the key weaknesses, ying steadily. Seeing that the boss¡¯ HP was on thest 15%, everyone was excited and became extremely focused. They were afraid that they¡¯d make a mistake and harm the whole team.


    ¡°When the boss is at 10% HP, she''ll enter berserk mode and will call a group of small monsters. <span>CC sses will go first, then the three <span>off-tanks will catch up and use <span>aggro control, healers will heal them and then the <span>main tank will raise a shield to block and reduce the boss'' damage. The boss¡¯ attacks will be stronger once it enters berserk mode. If you have low HP, retreat and dodge the meteorites, close range sses will circle around the back and give the tanks the position to raise their shield.¡±


    Everyone promptly moved to their positions when they heard his words.


    Ge Lu watched the boss¡¯ HP bar and raised his voice as they approached 10% HP to say, ¡°Main tank, raise the shield. CC sses, prepare in 3, 2, 1¡­¡± The battered queen suddenly roared, standing up while waving her limbs, causing the falling meteorites to fall faster and denser in midair.


    ¡°Spread out to the previously assigned positions! Off-tanks advance! Healers, use big heals¡±


    Yu Jiangbo was already standing in his assigned position, the strings of the harp in his hands were constantly vibrating. He was ready to <span>CC the little monsters in his range. Suddenly, there was an exmation behind him but he only frowned and didn¡¯t turn back to look. He focused on the little monsters that suddenly appeared from under the Queen that were quickly approaching.


    ¡°Jing Shu, what are you doing?! Ah!¡±


    ¡¾Your teammate Flourishing Flowers Fall has died. ¡¿


    Terrible! How did one of their assigned healers die?!


    The monster arrived before his eyes and although he was startled in his heart, his hand steadfastly yed the harp. After a burst of clear high notes, the sound waves, like ripples, dispersed and held the small monster in ce. Off-tank I Married for Wealth hurriedly stepped forward and used his aggro control skills to firmly draw the little monster¡¯s aggro onto himself.


    There was another exmation behind him.


    ¡¾Your teammate Jing Shu has died. ¡¿


    Yu Jiangbo inwardly cursed and quickly sent another attack to CC the little monster, to not let I Married for Wealth lose too much HP. Unfortunately, it was useless. All the healers assigned to their position died, no one was getting healed and the little monster¡¯s attacks hurt. I Married For Wealth¡¯s various damage mitigation skills were all used. He onlysted for a few seconds before he died. The off-tanks and healers were all dead, so the monster jumped towards the other squishy yers. In just half a minute, the stable situation was broken and little monsters scattered around everywhere, biting others. yers in other positions weren¡¯t able to respond in time and several of them quickly died.


    Things happened too quickly so Ge Lu, who was in another position, couldn¡¯t respond in time. At this moment, the team had be disordered, and the death toll was too much¡ªit was hopeless to continue fighting the boss. He could only let everyone retreat and try his best to not let his teammates experience the feeling of death for no reason.


    After everyone gathered to the original area to recover, Ge Lu stopped the healers before they could revive people and went to the ¡°corpse¡± pile to ask, ¡°What happened? I Married for Wealth, it was your position that broke first. What¡¯s the reason?¡±


    <span>Married for Wealth maintained his miserable dead appearance and angrily typed. "Both healers were dead, I didn''t get healed."


    <span>When Ge Lu heard this, he looked at the two healers who were lying in the distance. ¡°Exin.¡±


    <span>Flourishing Flowers Fall had a bellyful of grievances and loudly typed out a paragraph. ¡°I stood in my assigned position, dodging the meteorites while healing. In the end, Jing Shu suddenly ran into me and hurt me, directly hitting me into a meteorite and I got stunned. Later, when I became unstunned, I immediately healed myself to stabilize the situation, but she actually came to hit me again. At that time, a big meteorite came down and I took damage again, but this time it was too much and I directly died!¡±


    ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± A word bubble appeared over Jun Shujing''s head. "I was only dodging the meteorites normally. You''re wearing ck clothes, who knew you were going to stand there!"


    "Are you blind?! I''m holding such a shiny weapon and also have bright skill effects!"


    ¡°It was your own weakness, yet you want to shift the me onto others? You just hate me and want to frame me, don¡¯t you?! Do you have any shame? We only have three chances to clear this, but you''re taking the Holy Level Quest as a joke?!¡±


    Flourishing Flowers Fall was stunned to speechless by her shameless fake usations. It wasn''t long before she angrily typed out anotherrge wall of text and started fighting with her.


    ¡°Enough!¡± With a dark expression, Ge Lu interrupted their typing war and coldly looked at Jun Shujing, asking, ¡°In order to prevent this position conflict, the positions I arranged for you guys were all very scattered so healers didn¡¯t need to get close to heal. Tell me, why didn¡¯t you stand in your assigned position but instead ran to Flourishing Flowers Fall¡¯s position?¡±


    Jun Shujing was unable to respond. After a while, she typed a response. ¡°I saw that there was no one over there and wanted to fill the position¡­"


    Flourishing Flowers Fall once again angrily sent out arge wall of text.


    ¡°Why did you go over when I didn''t tell you to fill that spot? Can¡¯t even stay in your own basic position, or listen tomands. This time, you might as well not participate.¡± Ge Lu didn¡¯t have Ye Zhizhou¡¯s good temper. He looked back and said to the other healers, "Revive everyone else and let Jing Shuy here. We have enough DPS, who can sub as a healer? Come out."


    Jun Shujing didn¡¯t expect that he would say something like this. She quickly typed out. ¡°Wouldn''t a 50 yer instance be unstable with only 49 yers? Revive me. I promise that there will be no more problems. I have the best equipment for healers, and the substitute healer won''t be able to heal as consistently as me."


    ¡°It''s precisely without you that we will be able to y more consistently." After Married for Wealth was revived, he sneered. ¡°Don''t think I don''t know that you did it on purpose. You hate that Brother Ye Zi triggered the Holy Level Quest and ruined your business. Unfortunately it was your own self that ruined your business."


    After Yu Jiangbo was revived, he went to up Jun Shujing and looked down at her. His face was cold and his eyes were no longer warm like before. ¡°Shujing, you greatly disappointed me."


    [The probability of Yu Jiangbo and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 10%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Qi Xing met Ye Zhizhou''s gaze, choked a bit and forced himself to say, ¡°Jing Shu, you called me some time ago and wanted me to get close to Ye Zhizhou to sabotage his quest. It seems like you still haven''t given up on this idea?"


    Tang Ye turned to look at him, frowning. ¡°She asked you to sabotage the quest? When?¡±


    ¡°Just a little while ago, when Ye Zhizhou¡¯s quest needed to run instances.¡±


    Tang Ye''s face darkened. ¡°It turns out that you¡¯ve been deceiving me all along, Jing Shu.¡± At first, Jun Shujing had also asked him to get close to Ye Zhizhou, but her reason was because she was very happy that someone could unlock food buffs and hoped that he could go help. It turned out that her wanting to help was false because what she really wanted was for him to get close to Ye Zhizhou and then sabotage the quest. At that time, Jun Shujing¡¯s business was still very good.


    [The probability of Tang Ye and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 10%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    The remaining male leads quickly talked with each other after hearing these words, only to find that Jun Shujing had told them all different kinds of excuses. Their expressions all became incredulous. The other experts listened to them talking with strange expressions. There were many rumors about how all seven of these rich second generation, who were all on the ranking boards, all liked Jun Shujing, but now it seems like it wasn''t true¡­


    [The probability of Sun Fanchen, Bao Yanan, He Nian and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 10%, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    The wave of decreasing is steady!


    Ye Zhizhou appeased Ge Lu, before looking at Jun Shujing and saying, ¡°So it turns out that Great God Jing Shu didn¡¯t reallye here to help me with my quest. Then the Great God can justy here, we''ll fight by ourselves. I''ll send you thebor payment afterwards."


    The situation suddenly changed and Jun Shujing became flustered. She angrily typed. ¡°Qi Xing, why are you ndering me?! I didn¡¯t do it! I sincerely came to help you out, but you guys actually treat me like this. There are tens of thousands of yers watching and all of you are bullying a girl together, are you still men?¡±


    Atst, Qi Xingpletely gave up any hope towards Jun Shujing and totally refused to answer her.


    ¡°The yers aren''t blind.¡± Married for Wealth wiped his broadsword a couple of times before standing in front of her, sneering. ¡°You just obediently lie there.¡±


    The girl who was secretly in love with Shi Zhe took the initiative to volunteer as healer, and Ge Lu reassigned her position. Everyone tacitly ignored Jun Shujing, who constantly had word bubbles appearing over her head. Taking advantage of her resurrection cooldown not being up yet, he opened the instance again, leaving her no chance to revive.


    In the instance, des and swords shed in heatedbat once again, and the world channel began to explode like fireworks in the horizon.


    I Love Crayfish: If I¡¯m not blind, Jing Shu seemed to have done it on purpose. I saw her sneaking towards Flourishing Flowers Fall.


    Chrysanthemum Eye: Doing this during such an important quest? Simply too malicious!


    Angel Wings: You''re all ndering her! Jing Shu baby was obviously misled by that Flourishing Flowers Fall! Jing Shu baby saw that there was an empty spot, so she kindly went to fill it but she was tricked! It''s all that Flourishing Flower Fall''s fault! Are you all blind!


    Butts Up for the Crowd: Obviously it''s you being blind.


    Passerby A: Upstairs +1


    Little Reporter: Weakly raising my hand. I recorded the events that happened just now.


    This time, without Jun Shujing causing trouble, the fight to defeat the Queen was very smooth. Half an hourter, the Queen fell to the ground. The golden prompt changed, and the cave instantly became a gorgeous and magnificent hall, filled with various kitchen utensils and treasure boxes, with the Queen¡¯s meat already processed and set aside.


    Cooking this dish was thest step to the quest. Ye Zhizhou washed his hands and walked forward. Jun Shujing, who had been automatically revived by the system, moved with her hand at her waist. Jun Zhenzhen, who had been standing in a corner watching her, directly opened a revenge PK upon seeing her movement. She quickly rushed towards Jun Shujing and knocked her to the ground with a few skills before killing her in another few hits.


    Foolishly shocked by her death, Jun Shujing angrily typed after falling to the ground. ¡°What was that for?!¡±


    Brother Married for Wealth rubbed his chin. ¡°Since you can revenge PK now, we¡¯ve left the instance area? So, where is this? A new map?¡± As he said this, he also opened a revenge PK towards Jun Shujing and sat beside her to watch her corpse. ¡°Before Brother Ye Zipletes his task, you''d best behave.¡±


    "Y-you guys only know how to bully a girl like me!"


    ¡°What a familiar line, Sister.¡± Jun Zhenzhen stopped staying silent like a wallflower in the background. She bent over and pulled a small sachet from Jun Shujing''s waist with a cold expression. After opening it, she sniffed it and sneered. "You actually bring this kind of disgusting thing with you everywhere. What, since you failed to sabotage the fight against the Queen, you want to poison Ye Zhizhou''s ingredients now?"


    The experts were all shocked and Jun Shujing was also shocked. ¡°W-what did you call me?¡±


    ¡°Sister ah, you didn¡¯t expect this did you? I didn¡¯t die, and I didn¡¯t go with Father back to his hometown. Your scheme failed.¡± Jun Zhenzhen threw the sachet to Yu Jiangbo, who was standing at the front, and said indifferently, ¡°Look at it, it was this thing that almost killed you all.¡±


    Yu Jiangbo frowned, opened it and smelled it before handing the sachet over to He Nian, who was standing next to him. He looked at Jun Shujing deeply, not saying a word.


    Jun Shujing suddenly felt a little d that she was a corpse right now.


    ¡°To celebrate our victory against the Queen.¡± Jun Zhenzhen looked at the surrounding experts and asked Ge Lu for the leader position. She opened team sharing. "I''ll show you guys something wonderful."


    Jun Shujing became flustered when she heard these words¡ªthe livestream was still going on right now! If Jun Zhenzhen said anything that shouldn¡¯t be said¡­ It was just convenient that she automatically resurrected at that moment, so she hurriedly got up and rushed towards Jun Zhenzhen, shouting, ¡°Zhenzhen! You¡¯re crazy! We¡¯re blood sisters!¡±


    Jun Zhenzhen unsheathed her weapon, attacking Jun Shujing once again. After killing her in another few hits, she disdainfully pulled back. Her eyes were full of resentment. ¡°Since you know that we¡¯re sisters, then why did you want to kill me back then?¡±


    "I didn''t, no¡­"<hr>


    Next up more face pping for the protagonist!! aaaa 2 more weeks and it¡¯ll be another arc. Next arc is ¡­OTL

 Chapter 100 part2

    ¡°You haven¡¯t seen what I looked like when the poison had deeply prated me.¡± Jun Zhenzhen interrupted her. She opened the game forum, clicked on her ount, and erged several of the photos that she had previously uploaded. ¡°Look. That''s what I looked like. Green-tinted skin, crazy behavior and speech, I didn''t live like a human but couldn''t be a ghost. Everyone should be careful, all the dishes she makes are poisoned. If you eat too much, you''ll be like this.¡±


    Everyone was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the terrible photos that they cried out in surprise. The male leads, who had just been looking through the sachet, all turned around to look at Jun Shujing with an unclear emotion in their eyes.


    The world channel also exploded. They all thought that they would just be watching thepletion of the Holy Level Quest, but unexpectedly, they also got to see the livestream of sisters catfighting. They really hit the jackpot today!


    It was also Jun Shujing''s first time seeing Jun Zhenzhen¡¯s appearance after she was poisoned. She was so scared that she wanted to scream and cover her eyes. Unfortunately, she was unable to move or make a sound because she was in a dead state. She could only quietlyy there and type to exin. "No, it wasn''t me! I didn''t do it!"


    No one cared about the word bubbles she sent. The pictures were still continuously flipping through, one after another, showing the worsening symptoms. At the end of the photos was a picture of Jun Shujing, who looked very young and inexperienced.


    ¡°This was what your gentle and inspirational Great God Jing Shu looked like when she was young.¡± In the photo, Jun Shujing was sitting in a wheelchair, dressed in a white dress, looking pure and pitiful. However, the middle-aged man leaning over to kiss her ruined the feeling. Jun Zhenzhen erged the photo and slowly said, ¡°I¡¯ve already said what I needed to say in that exposing forum post, so today, I¡¯ve prepared some other interesting things for you guys to see. The middle-aged man in the picture was my sister¡¯s private tutor. She seduced him in order to avoid schoolwork and she was so proud of it that she even took pictures to unt it."


    Everyone was dumbstruck, and Jun Shujing trembled with anger.


    The picture was followed by a densely packed data table filled with side ount IDs; it was divided into several different sections ording to different games. ¡°These were the games that she yed and these were her side ounts. Do these IDs look very familiar to people who also yed these games?"


    Everyone looked at it carefully, and soon someone eximed, ¡°Jing Shu was actually the one who coborated with a big leader in Illusion to split their enemy guild¡¯s leadership? The troll who wreaked havoc between the two guilds?¡±


    Flourishing Flowers Fall eximed, ¡°That bitch who stole my best friend''s boyfriend was Jing Shu?!¡± As she said this, she also opened a revenge PK.


    The girl who was secretly in love with Shi Zhe clicked her tongue and spoke up, ¡°They''re all infamous IDs, with abundant dark histories."


    Jun Shujing¡¯s hands shook as she typed. ¡°No, it wasn''t me! She¡¯s lying to you! I''m being ndered!¡±


    ¡°ndered?¡± Jun Zhenzhen sneered and turned to the next picture. ¡°Then, these payment records of buying the water army can''t be nder right? Do you dare say that this bank ount isn''t yours?¡±


    Jun Shujing became quiet. The world channel continued to explode, and yer after yer came out to identify the IDs, excitedly sharing the wonderful stories behind those IDs.


    One by one, all of the things that were never previously exposed on the forums were finally revealed. Jun Zhenzhen finally stopped on a specific side ount ID. "Thest one is this one. This is for the pitiful wealthy second-generation guys over there¡­ You guys are really unfortunate because my sister unexpectedly fell for all of you. She poisoned you all and bought a water army to spread rumors¡ªSeven men and one woman, tch."


    What? Seven men and one woman? The experts'' who were constantly bombarded with the continuous explosive reveals had their emotions stirred, and the world channel''s enthusiasm became reinvigorated. Ye Zhizhou, who was processing the dish¡¯s ingredients, looked up and poked the Ge Lu beside him. "Will livestreaming porn manhua cause that ount to be banned?"


    ¡°So what if it''s banned? I have many side ounts.¡± Ge Lu didn''t have the GM attitude of maintaining the game bnce at all. He hugged and kissed him. "Your appearance while battling monsters just now was really good-looking, and now your appearance while cooking is also very sexy. I like it."


    <span>Ye Zhizhou raised his hand to Ge Lu''s face and pushed him away. ¡°Go away, do you still want toplete the quest?!¡±


    <span>Ge Lu settled for the next best thing, which was tilting his head to kiss Ye Zhizhou''s fingers, then continuing to stick to him.


    <span>Qi Xing, realizing what Jun Zhenzhen wanted to show, immediately turned towards Ye Zhizhou intending to have him stop her, but as a result, he actually saw such a scene. He suddenly felt like he had gone blind and turned his head away in despair. His face today¡­ Don''t think about it.


    The six other unsuspecting male leads were still seriously exchanging details about how they were cheated by Jun Shujing,pletely unaware that they were on the verge of witnessing a hellish scene.


    Jun Shujing also saw the ID and her brain buzzed a bit before fully exploding. She began to frantically type. "No! That isn''t me! Zhenzhen, I''m your sister, you can''t do this to me!"


    Jun Zhenzhen continued to ignore her. She leisurely verified that the side ount was actually Jun Shujing using the ID data table. Afterwards, she searched for the ID on the forum, opened the manhua drawn by the ID and said, ¡°I¡¯m sure that some of the especially hardcore fans have already seen this manhua since it''s very popr amongst a certain small circle, but I believe that the majority of you pure and simple yers didn¡¯t know such a thing existed. Friendly reminder, yers under the age of 18 should be apanied by their parents while viewing this.¡± As she said this, she gently tapped on it and opened the manhua. The first page was a colorful shy image of seven beautiful men surrounding a girl.


    The male leads'' faces became stiff when they clearly saw the seven beautiful men''s faces. The experts'' expressions became weird and the world channel went silent.


    As the pages continued to turn, a close up of Tang Ye¡¯s face suddenly appeared on the screen. Everyone turned to look at him and Tang Ye shuffled ufortably while frowning.


    So far, the images were still normal, as if it was just some Mary Sue fantasy, but then¡­


    Images that ought to be censored suddenly appeared without warning. The experts all eximed in surprise, the male leads¡¯ expressions looked like they had eaten shit, the emotions in Tang Ye¡¯s eyes morphed and he directly opened a revenge PK towards Jun Shujing. ¡°You actually dared¡­ Damn you!¡±


    [The probability of Tang Ye and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, may the host persist in his efforts. The second soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    The manhua turned to the next page and Shi Ze''s face appeared. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. ¡°Please skip this part, thank you.¡±


    ¡°All right.¡± Jun Zhenzhen very reasonably jumped past the electrifying scenes, but also added with a friendly reminder, ¡°But, this manhua can easily be found on the inte with a quick and random search. Also, this is a livestream. You should¡­ ept your fate."


    Shi Zhe couldn''t hold back any longer and opened a revenge PK on Jun Shujing as well, even though he was just a healer.


    [The probability of Shi Ze and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, may the host persist in his efforts. The third soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    After skipping a few pages, Bao Yanan and Sun Fanchen¡¯s faces appeared on the screen together. The experts once again cried out in surprise, and those that didn''t fear death excitedly yelled out, ¡°WTF! Threesome! Jing Shu''s taste is so heavy! Really knows how to have fun!"


    Jun Shujing had revived once again, wanting to stop Jun Zhenzhen, but Bao Yanan and Sun Fanchen opened another revenge PK, directly killing her.


    [The probability of Bao Yanan, Sun Fanchen and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, may the host persist in his efforts. The fourth and fifth soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    Immediately following that, He Nian¡¯s face appeared on the screen, with a shameful S&M conditioning y. He also hurriedly asked to skip it and didn¡¯t want to look at Jun Shujing again.


    [The probability He Nian and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, may the host persist in his efforts. The second sixth g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts. ]


    The next one to appear was Qi Xing. He tactfully asked to skip it the moment his face appeared. Afterwards, it was Yu Jiangbo, whose part was the most erotic. It was unexpectedly abination y of sexy lingerie, toys and S&M conditioning! All of the experts felt that today was really too brilliant, like it was all just a dream.


    Yu Jiangbo was so angry that he smashed his harp, increasing Jun Shujing''s amount of revenge PK challenges.


    [The probability of Yu Jiangbo and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The seventh soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host. The task of this world has been aplished. Does Host wish to enter the next world? ]


    Ye Zhizhou feltfortable all over as he selected decline and then swatted Ge Lu off, who had once again stuck to him.


    After the seven male leads were all vited by the porn manhua, it finally came to an end. Thest page of the manhua had the seven beautiful half-naked men surrounding a girl in a sexy nightdress. The magnificent hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Jun Shujing had already disappeared from the hall some time ago as she went offline.


    ¡°How was it? Don¡¯t you think my sister¡¯s illustration abilities are quite good?¡± Jun Zhenzhen smiled and swept around the group, turning off team share before waving. ¡°Okay, this ount is going to be banned. Goodbye, everyone. Jun Shujing, don¡¯t even think about trying to trick mom and dad to go against me anymore. It¡¯s useless. Also, another friendly reminder, if you''ve eaten my sister¡¯s food, you can go to Fu Yuan to get cured. My poison was cured by the Young Master of Fu Yuan. In order to help more people, he had been quietly adding antidotes into Fu Yuan¡¯s dishes. Furthermore, I also hope that the relevant departments can seriously consider how my sister added poison to her dishes. Even if it¡¯s unknown, it¡¯s still poison. Lastly, Boss Wang Shuwang, how could you sleep at night while protecting my sister, who''s such a vicious and ruthless businesswoman?"


    The air twisted and she was kicked offline by the system.


    Ye Zhizhou had also just happened to finish making his dishes, so the golden words hanging in mid-air changed into a congrattory prompt.¡¾Holy Level Questpleted. Thisst Zerg meat feast will be shared with all yers. Buff effects of Zerg ingredients have been unlocked. The food made by yers containing Zerg ingredients will no longer have debuffs. Asking everyone to experiment enthusiastically.¡¿


    The livestream ended and everyone was sent a new map.


    In the world channel, the yers stared at the disappearing livestream panel in a daze.


    I Love Crayfish: It ended like that? I feel like I can watch this kind of catfight for three days and three nights!


    Chrysanthemum Eye: I¡¯m going to download the porn manhua. Goodbye!


    Little Reporter: Did no one else notice the bromance between Ye Zhizhou and the team leader? They even kissed¡­


    That single sentence awakened the dazed yers and they once again started to crazily spam the chat.


    The male leads expressionlessly closed the world channel and tacitly chose to all go offline.


    Ye Zhizhou confusedly received Ge Lu''s trade prompt, epted his red envelope and suspiciously opened it.


    ¡¾You have received Side ount 007''s red envelope. You have received xxx million gold.¡¿


    ¡¾The livestream rewards have been sent. Requesting yers to please ept.¡¿


    ¡¾You have gained livestream reward xxx million + xx million¡¿

    ¡¾Congrattions to yer Ye Zhizhou for bing No.1 on the Wealth list. Reward: God of Wealth buff for one week.¡¿


    The suddenly rich Ye Zhizhou: "¡­"


    Ge Lu walked forward to hug him and rubbed against his ear. ¡°This is the betrothal gift.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou became angered and opened a revenge PK. ¡°It¡¯s clearly a dowry!¡±


    The nearby standing experts immediately logged off when they saw this¡ªthis dog food, they don¡¯t want to eat it. Thank you. <hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Iceberg for the two mines! Thank you Arriving in Dark Clouds and Wound¡ã for the mine! I love you guys so much =3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: ck Monday plus the hand chopping Double Twelve, nothing left to live for.</strong>


    <strong>PS: Look! The number of words in this chapter!</strong>


    Aaa guys we¡¯ve officially made it to chapter 100! Thank you all for reading and your continued support of APDSH!

 Chapter 101

    The catfighting incident continued to stew, and although the male leads used their connections to clear away all the porn manhua from the inte immediately after they went offline, many of the resourcefulizens had already saved screenshots of it. Thus¡­ The only thing that could be said was¡ªept your fate.


    Thanks to Dreaming Continent¡¯s poprity, the livestream of the Zerg Queen boss fight spread around at a formidable speed. The Wang Shu who was mentioned in Jun Zhenzhen¡¯sst few sentences was deeply investigated by theizens. Not even two dayster, Gentleman¡¯s Pavilion was closed for investigation and Jun Shujing was invited to the police station. Wang Shu¡¯s big backer had withdrawn when he saw that things were getting out of hand, leaving Wang Shu and Jun Shujing, who had previously run roughshod over everyone while leaving behind a pile of ck history, to apany each other.


    The reason why the protagonist developed so well was because of Wang Shu¡¯s big backer¡¯s protection, the umted in-game wealth and the support of the male leads in reality. Now Wang Shu couldn¡¯t even help himself since his big backer had already pulled out. Her in-game business was done for, the male leads also hated her to the bone. Even if she thought of something right now, she was already on the brink of death.


    The Imperial Feast recipe left by Jun Shujing¡¯s mother was taken away as evidence. Ye Zhizhou used Ge Lu''s connections to get his hands on the recipes and found that the dishes on it were all normal, but hidden within the cover were many poison forms. From the title, this should''ve been made by an ancient concubine who wanted to win the emperor''s heart, so she carefully found someone to make this.


    It seemed like everything was sorted out, but it actually wasn''t.


    Ye Zhizhou once again opened the plot information and looked over it carefully. He found that the protagonist and Wang Shu were actually just chess pieces. The chosen seven male leads might have been due to the protagonist''s preference, but it should''ve been influenced by the big back from behind the scenes. In the original plot, the huge wealth umted by the protagonist was destroyed because of a batch of problematic game pods which also implicated the seven male leads who had invested in her. Now that he thought about it, it seemed too suspicious. Although the seven male leads were a little brain-damaged after being poisoned, they shouldn''t have been so brain damaged as to allow problematic game pods that didn''t meet standards to enter the market. And when the protagonist was sent overseas by the male leads, she lived a little too unrestrainedly. After she left China, it seemed like she was no longer afraid of the domestic investigation. And where did she get the qualifications and resources to meet with the political leader and munitions tycoon? And then easily change her identity and flee to another country? What happened to the seven male leads who stayed in the home country? Why was there no exnation in the plot at all?


    The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and the more he questioned it. He held the mentality of better safe than sorry, and so, he secretly revealed the news to the seven male leads¡ªthat there might be some people behind the protagonist that wanted to dig a hole for them. The male leads who were in the middle of a public rtions crisis became rmed when they received the news, and quickly contacted their family elders. Half a monthter, Ye Zhizhou received some information back. It seemed that the big backer had made a mistake and left a trace of themselves in Gentleman¡¯s Pavilions rapid development and expansion.


    The information that the male leads gave him was too vague. No matter what, Ye Zhizhou couldn''t find out why the big backer needed to use the protagonist to deal with the seven male leads. Ultimately, it was Ge Lu who was more useful, straightforwardly telling him everything. The big backer was actually a spy. His purpose of mixing in with the upper ss was to disrupt the domestic economy and political stability. The protagonist''s role was just him testing the waters. He was the first one to figure out that the poison in the protagonist''s hands had a bewitching effect.


    As for how he found out¡­ One of the protagonist''s in-game love targets was the big backer''s son, and the protagonist had once stupidly sent over a box of poison snacks to the big backer''s home.


    After learning about this, Ye Zhizhou was stupefied, so this world summary was basically "one box of snacks caused the world to be destroyed"?


    Since the task was alreadypleted, whatever the male leads'' families did to look for supporters and connections to fight the big backer had nothing to do with him. He took Ge Lu to meet his parents, and then went to Ge Lu''s home to greet his parents. The two of them shed their pretense and started to openly disy their affection.


    Another 2 weekster, Fu Yuan¡¯s business began to slow down after the burst of poprity, and Ye Zhizhou invited the male leads over for a meal. He gave each of them a pill topletely detoxify them.


    Qi Xing shifted to Fu Xia''s side, who had apanied her family member her, and said after a pause, "Xiao Xia, what happened back then¡­ I''m sorry."


    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Fu Xia politely smiled at him, her eyes no longer showing their previous fondness and attachment. "You were poisoned and deceived, I understand. I also forgive you. I don''t me you."


    Qi Xing sensed the change in her attitude and his hands tightened into fists, his eyes dimmed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± He had thousands of words, but he could only powerlessly say these. The original damage has already been done, the feelings between them had cracked and it was hard to repair.


    Fu Xia picked up the bottle of wine and poured a ss for him, also topping up her own ss. She picked up the ss, gently clinked his and drank it all in one gulp. ¡°One cup to repay it all. Thest time. It¡¯s ok.¡±


    Thest time¡­ Qi Xing picked up his ss and drank it all down. ¡°Something like that¡­ I¡¯ll never do it again.¡±


    Fu Xia put down her ss and smiled, but didn¡¯t speak again. Some feelings, once you missed it, you missed it. Clinging on would just cause more worry, rather than doing that, it''s better to just wash away the confusion with some wine. Afterwards, they can each live a proper life.


    After dinner, Ge Lu had taken away the drunk Ye Zhizhou while harboring evil intentions. They kissed each other as soon as they entered Ge Lu¡¯s apartment. The closer their bodies became, the less and less clothing they had on, and the warmer their body temperature raised.


    [Fluctuation of the protagonist''s soul has been detected. The small world is in danger of copsing. Asking host to please pay attention! Asking host to please pay attention! ]


    <span>"En¡­ Wha?!" Ye Zhizhou''s half-dazed brain suddenly became clear-headed. He quickly pushed Ge Lu, who was on top of him, aside and rolled over to rummage through the coat he had thrown to the side.


    <span>With a dark expression, Ge Lu dragged him back and pressed him down again. In a dangerous tone, he asked, "Not willing, en?"


    "Wait a bit, I have something urgent to do!" Ye Zhizhou moved his hand over Ge Lu''s face and pulled out the phone from his coat. He wanted to call the police station to inquire about the situation.


    ¡°This is an urgent situation.¡± Ge Lu grabbed his cell phone and threw it to one side. He quickly stripped both of them of their clothing and had them face each other with their breaths intermingling. His left hand rubbed Ye Zhizhou''s waist, while his right hand moved further down. He tilted his head and sucked on his earlobe with his mouth before gently nibbling it.


    Ye Zhizhou immediately threw himself at Ge Lu,pletelycking the power to resist.


    [Soul fluctuation ended. Testing taskpletion¡­ Testingpleted, task has beenpleted. Soul delivery channel is normal. Does host wish to enter the next world? ]


    His body seemed to be floating high on a cloud while his rationality seemed to be crumbling. As soon as this prompt came up, Ye Zhizhou''s state of mind suddenly loosened and he stopped struggling. With a red face, he angrily stretched out a w. "You good for nothing bastard full of obscene thoughts! Next time I''m going to harass you during your video conference!"


    Ge Lu rapidly panted as he moved down to kiss him. "I''m looking forward to it."


    The next day, the phone call from Jun Zhenzhen solved the mystery of the protagonist¡¯s soul''s fluctuation.


    ¡°She had somehow been released from the police station and came home to ask mom and dad for forgiveness, even personally brewing tea for everyone.¡± Jun Zhenzhen¡¯s tone was very indifferent as if she was talking about another family¡¯s affairs. ¡°I kept an eye on her, swapped her teacup with mine and changed my parents¡¯ tea for water. As a result, she fell to the ground not long after drinking the tea, her skin turning green. The symptoms were simr to the ones I had when I was poisoned.¡±


    Facing the protagonist¡¯s mentally handicapped behavior, Ye Zhizhou didn''t know what to say.


    "In fact, my parents were already softhearted. Even my younger brother that lived in the school dorms came back a few days ago to ask if she had suffered in the police station¡­" Jun Zhenzhen momentarily went silent and then suddenly sarcasticallyughed, "My parents were ready to put the rest of their remaining savings to help her leave this behind to reduce her sentence, but she really just wanted to poison us and kill us."


    ¡°Zhenzhen, you¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s how it is.¡± Jun Zhenzhen interrupted his words, her tone recovering its indifference. ¡°My Jun family never had such a person. Thank you. When I get back to my hometown, I¡¯ll send you some local specialties.¡±


    With a click, the call was disconnected.


    Ye Zhizhou stayed frozen for a bit before letting out a long sigh.


    Suddenly, there was a heavy weight on his body and he felt a warm breath on his neck, followed by some warmth on his earlobe before it was gently bitten.


    Ye Zhizhou became angry and tried to turn over to swat him. "Get down! Not doing it anymore! I want to go home!"


    "You''re mine." Ge Lu pressed him down, his tone was domineering and unreasonable. "This is your home."


    Fuck! He still heard this fucking line! Ye Zhizhou was so angry that he beat the pillow and once again resisted. However, it was futile, so he could only continue to be pressed down with indignation. This life was too degenerate and disharmonious.


    Because there was Fu Yuan, this detoxification ce, the protagonist¡¯s poisoning was cured. However, due to this, her sentence was lengthened and she was doomed to spend her life in prison.


    Half a yearter, themotion around this matter gradually subsided; one yearter, Wang Shu was sentenced; five yearster, Jun Shujingmitted suicide in prison for unknown reasons.


    After another few decades, Dreaming Continent had been long shut down, and Dreaming Continent III had appeared. Ye Zhizhou nestled in his lover''s arms and slowly closed his eyes. Ge Lu bowed his head to kiss him, whispering his name until his voice disappeared and it finally became silent.


    The dark world was suddenly lit up by a ray of light. Ye Zhizhou felt his body sink and his consciousness clearing. A mechanical voice then sounded in his ear.


    ¡¾Constitution Rank: B. Spiritual Power Rank: A. Testpleted. Please remove the device after confirming spiritual power is stable. ¡¿


    This was¡­


    The machine opened with a click and after a blithe burst of music, the darkness faded. Gradually when his line of sight cleared, a huge screen was revealed not too far ahead of him and on the screen was a row of silhouettes.


    "Pansy Cheseldine, 19 years old, A-rank Spiritual Power, B-rank Constitution, Beta gender, major¡­ Mecha manufacturing?" The old man sitting in the middle who was looking through the data in his hand slightly frowned. "Your spiritual power stability is a bit poor, I personally suggest that you change your major."


    Ye Zhizhou was a little confused. He raised his hand to clumsily detach the device attached to his head and the connecting wire on his body. He stepped down from the machine and looked back. An aptitude detector¡­ Although it looked a bit different from the one in his original world, it was indeed an aptitude detector. So this world¡­


    ¡°Pansy?¡± The old man once again called him but saw that his expression was still dazed. He helplessly shook his head. "It seems like he hasn''t recovered from the test. His spiritual power stability is worse than I thought¡­ Take him to the side to rest and let the next student in."


    The staff who stood at the side heard his words and led Ye Zhizhou to the lounge next door. They considerately poured him a ss of water, queued up music that would help rx his spiritual power and set the earphones in his hand, softly saying, ¡°When you feel better, press this button to call me. During this time you can think about your major. Professor Mahr¡¯s advice has always been a benchmark for the students.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Ye Zhizhou finally recovered from the overwhelming sense of familiarity, smiled and sent the staff away. He then picked up the headphones to put them on, leaning back into thefortable chair while touching the space ring on his hand. He silently asked in his mind, "Tongtian, is this actually a task world? Not my original¡­?"


    And then his hand sank as a small mechanical-styled mirror appeared, followed by a light screen that directly popped up in his brain. [Do you want to receive the plot information?]


    Looks like this was really just a task world¡­ It was just really too simr, aptitude detector, the method to relieve spiritual strength, themunication device on his wrist¡­ He almost thought that he was back in his original world.


    He didn¡¯t immediately receive the plot information. He opened his eyes and opened the system¡¯s full body mirror function and looked at his appearance. Brown hair, blue eyes, thin and tall body, single eyelid, high nose bridge, pale skin, and light lips¡­ It wasn¡¯t his body.


    He felt a little regretful as he closed the full body mirror and chose to receive the information.


    This world was very simr to his original world. There were mecha, spiritual power, and Zerg. The only difference was that the people of this world had a special way of dividing gender. There wasn¡¯t a distinction between men and women, instead, there were only differences between alpha, beta, and omega.


    Alphas had the best qualifications in all aspects, but were unable to bear children; betas were more mediocre and simr to the average people he was familiar with, they could bear children but had low fertility; omegas had the smallest poption and had poor constitution but strong fertility.


    Alphas could mark multiple omegas, but not vice versa. Alphas and omegas were both affected by pheromones. If an omega goes into heat when there was only one alpha around, the scene would be very wonderful. Betas don''t have this problem, they have more freedom in that aspect.


    After reading this, Ye Zhizhou felt that his just stabilized spiritual power began to fluctuate again. He asked in his mind, ¡°Tongtian, what was this body¡¯s gender?¡± The professor seemed to have mentioned it before, but he was dazed and didn¡¯t clearly hear it.


    [The body¡¯s name is Pansy Cheseldine, and the gender is beta. ]


    Not bad, not bad. No heats.


    He let out a sigh of relief and continued to flip through the information.


    This world¡¯s protagonist was called Eddie Jepps. An omega that was an 18-year-old orphan who was admitted to the Royal Military Academy in the same year as Pansy. Although they were an omega, they had a rare SS-rank constitution and S-rank spiritual power. They were a very talented genius who carried a mecha manufacturing system, a golden finger that defied the heavens.


    When they entered the school, they were in the limelight with their awesome qualifications. They then selected the majors of mecha repairs and mecha manufacturing, passing the two departments'' entrance exams with excellent results.


    Wait, mecha manufacturing system?


    Ye Zhizhou poked the small mirror. "This world''s protagonist also has a system. You''re both systems yet the other one can make mechas while you can only sell medicine, aiya."


    The light screen shed in displeasure.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you change into a mecha manufacturing system for me? Honestly, I really don¡¯t know anything about mecha manufacturing. I get a headache when I see it, but the original host just had to choose the mecha manufacturing major. If I don¡¯t cheat, I¡¯m sure I¡¯m done for.¡± That¡¯s right, he was just that worthless! Although he had a good aptitude in his original world, he felt like sleeping whenever he touched any books rted to mecha. The professor who taught him the history of mechas nearly beat him to death¡­


    The little mirror was very angry with his disgusting behavior, so it shook and turned its light screen into a rainbow color. It popped up the screen right in front of Ye Zhizhou, smacking him to its heart¡¯s content. <hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>

 Chapter 102

    Ye Zhizhou, who was blinded, said a lot of praises to try to greatly appease the angry Tongtian. He didn¡¯t dare to tease it anymore and obediently looked at the plot information.


    After entering the military school, the protagonist was assigned to a four-person dormitory. They became roommates with Chigita and Anuot Reed, the twin alpha grandchildren of the master mecha maker Brenda Reed, and the mediocre beta Pansy Chezeldan who came from a small family. The protagonist¡¯s personality was cheerful, and soon they became familiar with the twins who were alpha leads one and two, while Pansy gradually became a wallflower in the dorm because of his personality.


    Soon, the freshman training started and the protagonist was unluckily assigned to Ned Jenkins, the third alpha lead, who was known as a devil drillmaster. They were baptized by high-intensity training every day and suffered a lot. The protagonist''s strong constitution attracted the attention of Ned, this <span>handsome person, and they began to privately train the protagonist. During a practice session the two of them had, the protagonist coincidentally discovered that Ned''s spiritual power had a hidden wound. Feeling sympathetic, they thought about secretly treating Ned with the spiritual power training method which they had learned from their mecha manufacturing system.


    Ned very quickly discovered the protagonist''s subtle actions and their own spiritual strength improving. They were both pleasantly surprised and moved, and thus paid more attention to this little student. When the twins saw that the protagonist and Ned were getting closer, they became a little upset. At this time, Pansy happened to poke at their sore spot andined that the protagonist was secretly going to the drillmaster''s room every day in order to treat Ned¡¯s hidden injury, too noisy. When the twins heard about it, they exploded, and Pansy was isted afterwards.


    Ye Zhizhou speechlessly thought, so why was Pansy isted¡­?


    After thepletion of the freshman training, the protagonist and the Reed twins were assigned to ss A, which was the best, and Pansy was assigned to ss D, which was the worst¡ªbecause he had the lowest results in the freshman training.


    Although the protagonist had two majors and was thus in two departments, they still had a good bnce between studying and resting. After sses, they even worked part-time at a mechaponent manufacturing factory. With their cheating mecha manufacturing system, theponents they produced were always much better than others. Later on, they also keenly discovered an irregrity in one of the newponents. They stubbornly insisted that the supervisor modify the newponent, to prevent any loss to the factory. This mechaponent manufacturing factory was actually just a tiny insignificant speck of dust in the Bafton family¡¯s mecha manufacturing kingdom. The protagonist''s discovery this time saved arge amount of the Bafton family¡¯s uing new product. After learning of this, alpha lead number four¡ªCarol Bafton, the heir of the Bafton family, personally went to the factory to thank the protagonist, and from there on, the two of them got to know each other.


    Halfway through the semester, the annual routine of cross-grade training began with a bang. The protagonist met the fifth alpha lead during the training¡ªChris Palle, a second-year senior in themand department, and also the <span>second royal child of the Empire. The two coincidentally ended pairing up with each other during the entire training routine. The protagonist was surprised at the second royal child¡¯s approachability, while Chris appreciated the protagonist¡¯s effort and unwavering spirit of not admitting defeat. The two people quickly got familiar with each other and became friends after the routine training ended.


    Afterwards, with Chris¡¯ rmendation, the protagonist entered the military college¡¯s student union and became the assistant of alpha lead number six¡ªthe student union¡¯s president, and the marshal¡¯s child, Dale Arden. Dale Arden, who was already a senior and was about to start an internship with the army, had been looking for someone to be the next student union president. Chris wasn¡¯t interested in managing the student union at all. Seeing that the protagonist and Chris were familiar with each other, Dale took the initiative to get close to them, hoping that they could talk some sense into the stubborn Chris.


    While the protagonist was busy, the semester came to an end. They bid farewell to the reluctant twins and the second royal child who had invited them to the pce to y. They arrived at the mecha manufacturing factory and began to work hard while also learning how mecha were made. From time to time, Carol would run to the factory to discuss mecha designs with him. Gradually, Carol was won over by the protagonist''s outstanding knowledge and their rtionship became better.


    After the new year, school started again. Severalrge universities and colleges jointly held the kick-off to the mecha leaguepetition. This kind ofpetition usually had nothing to do with the freshman, who just started school and barely had any foundation. The protagonist thought so too but didn''t expect Chris to invite them to be their team''s mecha repairer. The protagonist was thoroughly surprised but epted the invitation and quickly gained the trust of Chris'' teammates with their excellent mecha manufacturing knowledge.


    <span>In thispetition, the protagonist thoroughly made a name for themselves. The twin''s grandparent, Master Brenda, took a liking to the protagonist and took them in as theirst student. With a master as a teacher, the protagonist''s mecha manufacturing skill began to rapidly progress. At the end of the semester, Master Brenda, who was greatly surprised by the protagonist''s progress, signed them up for the junior mecha manufacturer examination. So, in the summer of the protagonist''s first year, they set foot on the spaceship to the exam hall.


    On the spaceship, he met the disguised alpha lead number seven, who hade out to y by themselves¡ªEgbert Gilivan, the head of the interster pirates. The two of them had a nice chat and found that their destination was the same, so they decided to go together.


    After the spaceship arrived at the destination, the two briefly separated. The protagonist went to the exam hall to register, while Egbert went to meet their friends. At dinner time, the two of them met at the agreed hotel. The protagonist was surprised to find that Egbert was injured and was very worried, wanting to take them to the hospital, only to be directly refused by Egbert. Unable to convince them, the protagonist helplessly took Egbert into their room, ready to help the other bandage their wound, but didn''t think that their own body would be stimted by Egbert''s pheromones leaking from the blood. The protagonist gradually showed signs of their heat.


    Egbert had also noticed something was wrong with the protagonist. They wanted to leave, but were affected by the pheromone and ended up losing their rationality. The two people¡¯s pheromones affected each other, and they were about to heat each other up, but unexpectedly, the door was suddenly kicked open. The Federation''s general, Audrey Bastion, also the eighth alpha lead, who had been chasing Egbert, had rushed in. Egbert was so startled that their brain, which had lost rationality from the pheromones, cleared up, and they started fighting with Audrey.


    The fight between the two became increasingly fierce, and both of them became injured and started bleeding. The protagonist failed to find the heat suppressants in their luggage, so their heat became more and more overwhelming. The two people fighting were affected by the protagonist¡¯s even stronger pheromones and gradually stopped fighting. Audrey was the first to be seduced, rushing over to press the protagonist down. Seeing this, Egbert managed to hold onto theirst bit of rationality, and stunned Audrey, before running away themselves. The protagonist took the opportunity to push Audrey away before running into the bathroom to take a cold bath, to try to get through the sudden heat.


    An hourter, Audrey woke up and couldn''t help smashing the bathroom door open. They were doused with cold water and then their rationality somewhat returned. They left the bathroom and called for their subordinates to send over a suppressant. After helping each other through this ordeal, the two people became acquainted.


    After this, Audrey went back to the Federation to arrange a hunt for Egbert. The protagonist took the junior mecha manufacturer exam with the suppressant provided by Audrey and got the certification with an excellent grade.


    Summer vacation had ended and the second school year started, the protagonist grew even more outstanding. Master Brenda felt that the protagonist¡¯s knowledge had already exceeded their current grade, so they arranged for the protagonist to skip a year. Thus, the protagonist once again entered the limelight.


    The mediocre Pansy, who had to spend strenuous efforts to learn and study, was very jealous of the protagonist. They took advantage of the protagonist¡¯s long absences, due to their work at the mecha factory, to sneak into their room to steal their notes. In the end, Pansy wasn¡¯t able to find any notes, but instead, found the protagonist¡¯s hidden suppressants! Pansy became greatly pleased by this surprise, and quickly went to find Professor Bell Rackliffe, a long-standing rival of Master Brenda, and reported that the protagonist¡¯s enrollment information was inconsistent with their actual information¡ªa suspicion of fraudulent records.


    The secret of the protagonist''s gender was revealed. Although Master Brenda and the alpha leads fought hard against the school for them, in the end, the protagonist was expelled. The alpha leads were heart-broken and hated Pansy who had reported the protagonist. Thus, Pansy''s school days became increasingly difficult.


    The expelled protagonist was depressed for a while, but they soon picked themselves up and entered Carol''s mechapany, bing an intern mecha researcher. Additionally, the several alpha leads felt bad about the protagonist''s misfortune and thus supported them in every possible way.


    A few yearster, the protagonist became the youngest mecha master in history. Their Hurricane mecha series swept through the Empire and the Federation. Alphas were fascinated by the protagonist, while omegas looked up to them. The Imperial Military College that had expelled them had seriously regretted it. Pansy, the one who reported them, had be a total failure, so much that they couldn''t even get enough credits to graduate.


    Afterwards, there was a Zerg outbreak. The Empire and the Federation cooperated to fight against the enemy, and the eight alpha leads gathered together for the first time. The war was particrly tragic, with heavy military losses, and the alpha leads, fighting on the front line, almost lost their lives several times. At this critical moment, the protagonist joined the battlefield with their newly developed super mecha and tried hard to desperately save them, which helped the alpha leads and the army seed in their counterattack against the Zergs.


    When the war ended, the protagonist became the national icon and savior. After experiencing life and death in war, the alpha leads understood a lot more. They all decided to stay with the protagonist and not be jealous of each other anymore. The protagonist was very moved and got together with all eight of them.


    Very good. Eight <span>"male" leads, one more than the <span>Cbash Brothers.


    Ye Zhizhou turned to Pansy¡¯s ending, and after seeing the words ¡°escaped before the war and was dealt with by militaryw¡±, he was speechless. How did the original owner, who didn¡¯t even graduate and was a half-baked mecha manufacturer end up on the front lines? How did they escape before the fight? They didn¡¯t know how to use a mecha nor how to fly a warship. They might be able to operate an escape pod, but how exactly did they escape?


    The music from the headphones was still trying to soothe his spiritual power, but it clearly had little effect. The plot was too irritating, so his spiritual power couldn''t settle down¡­ He silently digested the fact that there were eight "male" leads in the world. After making sufficient mental preparations, he looked at the part of the plot where the world was destroyed.


    After the war, the Empire and Federation both needed to urgently recover. For this reason, the protagonist and the alpha leads were constantly on the move, working very hard. A few yearster, another Zerg outbreak happened, and the scale was even bigger thanst time! The battle started again. The protagonist carefully developed a new mecha for this wave of Zergs, but just before thest part of the mecha was finished, the protagonist was killed by the more clever Zergs who had secretly infiltrated their base. The alpha leads were furious and filled with grief, and began to fight wildly on the battlefield without regard for their lives¡­ Then, in the span of a month, they died one after another.


    Ye Zhizhou: ¡°¡­¡±


    Losing the army¡¯s main force elites, the Empire and Federation¡¯s armies became more confused and demoralized, and the war became a one-sided massacre by the Zergs. With onest hope, the army urgently finished the design by the protagonist and had soldiers use the new mecha on the battlefield. However, it was easy to make mistakes while rushing, so the new mecha suddenly broke down on the battlefield, and the soldiers were killed by the Zergs without any resistance. After learning about this, Master Brenda, who was responsible forpleting the mecha design,mitted suicide.


    The Zergspletely dominated the war. Within a few years, the Empire and the Federation were ttened by the Zerg, and the human race became practically extinct. The once beautiful and rich waspletely devoured by the greedy Zergs. It became a dead ce, no longer filled with life.


    Ye Zhizhou read through the information in disbelief several times, bbergasted.


    They all died? After going through the war, they didn''t start their sweet and happy lives, but unexpectedly had to once again fight in another war? And then died? The plot was simply¡­ So, the protagonist and the "male" leads¡¯ first great scene of oveing the hardships was just to make their deaths more miserable?


    After he wiped his face, Ye Zhizhou dazedly leaned back into his chair, poking at the mirror. He said angrily, ¡°What rtionship does this world¡¯s destruction have with the protagonist?! Isn¡¯t it supposed to be harems destroying the world? But the destruction of this world isn¡¯t rted to the harem at all. It¡¯s obviously a Zerg problem! Are you sure the plot information is correct?¡±


    [The system has given all information, please trust the system.]


    "¡­" How was he supposed to trust it?! He still remembered that the plot information in thest world waspletely different from the actual events¡­!<hr>


    <strong>Thank you Iceberg for the two mines! Thank you Arriving in Dark Clouds, Du Zhuan, Jun Shi and 1 ¡ã pudding for the mine! I love you so much =3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: A bit short QvQ</strong>

    <strong>PS: I will pay more attention to the plot holes pointed out by you little angels, love you guys =3=</strong>


    <strong>Divi:</strong> Oh my god. The names in this arc SUCK! The three gendered system which results in neutral terms is so difficult! I hope you guys don''t get confused with all the they going around. At the very least, it seems like the protagonist is kinda okay for now.


    <strong>Mina: </strong>This arc sucks in general LOL. Also don¡¯t get your hopes up about the protag

 Chapter 103

    Ye Zhizhou stayed in the lounge for a very long time, so long that the staff member couldn''t help running out to worriedly check on him. When they became aware that his spiritual power was actually even more unstable than before, the staff member''s expression became more solemn and they took out amunication device, ready to call the school doctor over.


    "Hold on." Ye Zhizhou hurriedly got up to stop them and quickly slowed the pace of his leaking spiritual power. He said with an embarrassed face, "My spiritual power is already stable, it just became like this because I checked the admission scores¡­"


    The spiritual power that was loitering to and fro around the room rapidly decreased. The staff member put down themunication device and suspiciously looked at him. "Your spiritual power¡­" The ease and speed of control of the spiritual power didn''t seem like an A-rank at all.


    "Actually, I want to retest my aptitude¡­" He pretended to look hesitant, and whispered, "My previous aptitude wasn''t A-rank¡­" This was true, because the original owner''s spiritual power level was only B-rank, rising to a rank to A-rank was a recent thing.


    He was deliberately vague, but that made the staff member decisively misunderstand him, and they quicklyforted him. "It''s true that if you''re in a bad state, the aptitude test result may be lower than your actual aptitude. Don''t be nervous and keep your spiritual power rxed. There will be aptitude retesting after thest batch of students finishes their tests; I''ll arrange it for you."


    ¡°Thank you!¡± Ye Zhizhou happily held the staff member''s hand with no psychological burden, and acted obedient at the right moment. "<span>Jiejie, you''re seriously the best!"


    The staff member, who was already at the age of being a parent, was dazzled by his smile and became more gentle. They took the initiative to help him register for a retest number and some other basic information.


    After seeing the enthusiastic staff member off, Ye Zhizhou rubbed his face that was stiff from constantly smiling and sat back down on the chair. He took out a family picture from his space ring, looked at it and sighed. The body''s original owner''s home was on a medium-sized star, which was a three day trip from the imperial capital star. Their parents were both betas and they had a sickly omega older sibling. The reason why the original owner had insisted on studying mecha manufacturing, even though they had no talent, was because of this omega sibling, Aldo.


    Aldo was very beautiful, had a super high S-rank spiritual power, but their body was too weak. It was so weak that they would get seriously ill every month after taking the necessary inhibitors.


    When the original owner was 18 years old, the doctor gave Aldo a death notice¡ªthree years at most. They could only live for three more years. Aldo''s family was so devastated that they also felt like dying, but Aldo felt relieved. Aldo said that they hoped to be an ordinary beta in the next life, so they could operate their dream mecha. The original owner cried a lot, and then vowed in their heart to create this mecha for their sibling, one that even an omega could operate¡ªTo make their sibling''s wishe true!


    Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help sighing again. The original owner''s heart was good, but their brain was not¡ªmake what kind of mecha? The most important thing was to find a way to cure their sibling''s condition! Also, with how untalented the original owner was in mecha manufacturing, along with how difficult it was to create a mecha¡­ Three years wasn''t enough. Even if Pansy did finally make one, with Aldo''s condition, how could they even operate it?


    Therefore, what was the point in learning mecha manufacturing?! Studying gic research was better! The ABO gendering system was obviously because of a defect in the human gene, so it resulted in this! Especially alphas and omegas¡ªpheromones and heats, these things were definitely a problem!


    <span>Why were omegas generally weak? Why could alphas mark omegas? How could theymunicate with each other using spiritual power after marking? What was the basis of this connection? What was the rtionship between these two genes?


    He felt the itch to move his hands, and that researcher¡¯s heart that he had been suppressing for years began to stir. That year when he was studying a gic modification solution in a researchb, which professor didn''t praise him? Which project team didn''t want him? And, <span>which senior or juniorb member didn''t want to beat him? In short, if it hadn¡¯t been for that damn ident, his x2 gic modification solution would''ve long been developed. And when the time came, it would''ve been distributed to all welfare institutions and orphanages, which wouldn''t only strengthen their health but also stimte their potential. Wouldn''t that have been amazing!


    <span>The staff member came back in with the retest number card and was shocked again by the spiritual power that was spilling in the room. "Your spiritual power should be S-rank, right?"


    He quickly collected his thoughts and closed the small theatre showing the peak of his past life. He gathered his spiritual power and vaguely replied, "I think so. I think I went up a rank recently, but I haven''t had the time to get it tested."


    Recently went up a rank? The staff member''s gaze suddenly changed, and their attitude became increasingly gentle as they stood to the side while saying, "The retests have started. I have arranged for you to be in the first batch. Please follow me."


    Ye Zhizhou hurriedly thanked them and followed them out.


    ¡¾Constitution Rank: B. Spiritual Power Rank: SS. Testpleted. Please remove the device after confirming spiritual power is stable.¡¿


    Ye Zhizhou emerged from the aptitude test, shyly smiling at the shocked Professor Mahr. He said, "Ah¡­ Sorry for the trouble. I wasn''t in a good state during thest test¡­"


    ¡°Stability and control are both excellent¡­¡± Professor Mahr flipped through his test results, excited and gratified. ¡°Fortunately, you retested, otherwise I would''ve held up such a good seedling as you. The mecha manufacturing major is very suitable for you. Congrattions on your enrollment.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Professor.¡± Ye Zhizhou politely thanked them, and after a pause, he continued, ¡°Actually, I would like to register for a gic research major as well. Would it be possible for me to be in two departments and do a double major?¡±


    Professor Mahr, who was just about to call a staff member over to help him with the registration papers, froze and asked, "What did you say you wanted to register for as well?"


    ¡°Gic research.¡±


    The hall became silent, and the professors behind the long table all looked at him with eyes as though he was a monster.


    Unlike the popr mecha and mecha manufacturing majors, the gic research major was very unpopr due to its long course length and its difficulty to learn. All the other students graduate in four years, but it takes seven or more years for the gic research students to graduate. The seven-year program included three years of basic medicine and biology, one year of hospital practice, and three years of basic gic research knowledge. And, even after learning all of this, they''re still just beginners. After finishing these seven years, they will continue with one-on-one teaching from a professor in the field. Only when the professor feels like they''ve met the requirements, will they actually graduate. Most of the students who apply for the gic research major die in the first three years because they have toplete what would normally be a six-year course for general medical and biology students in just three years.


    Yet right now, Ye Zhizhou was actually requesting to double major in the hard as hell gic research major and the already difficult mecha manufacturing major¡­ Such big intentions, all the professors were losing their heads.


    "You know, Pansy¡­" Professor Mahr regained theirposure and couldn''t help carefully looking at Ye Zhizhou''s data again. After thinking about it for a while, they said, "For the gic research major, our school generally recruits already enrolled students who are in our medical or biology departments, who have the basic foundations. In your case¡­ The mecha manufacturing major is also very good. Why don''t you take some time to think about double majoring?"


    "I heard that there will be a make-up entrance examination for the gic research major after school starts. I want to take it." Ye Zhizhou, who had used Tongtian to check the situation in advance, directly asked and lowered his eyes and voice, "To be honest with you Professor, I applied for the gic research major for my omega sibling. Their body is very weak. I want to learn more things that could help them¡­ Professor, I want to try. Please give me a chance." Most importantly, Professor Belle, Master Brenda''s long-standing rival, who hated the protagonist the most, was a gic research specialist. The faction that had the power to expel the protagonist, he must get to know them!


    His gaze was extremely sincere, and the spiritual power that he emitted was filled with earnestness and dedication. Professor Mahr was a little moved, sighed, and called for a staff member. "Give this student Pansy a make-up entrance examination permit for the gic research major."


    Ye Zhizhou was extremely happy when he heard these words. He quickly and gratefully bowed to the professor and happily followed the staff member away.


    It took an hour to receive his examination permit and finish the enrollment procedures. He took the new dormitory key and recalled the plot while he walked to his new dorm room, room 233 in building B. Both the protagonist and the twins were locals of the imperial capital star, so they had arrived earlier. Around this time, they should be having dinner outside¡­ It was convenient that they weren''t in the dormitory, so he had time to check out the situation.


    The first room after entering the dormitory was the living room. There were two rooms on both sides of the living room. The twins lived in the two rooms on the left, while he and the protagonist were in the two rooms on the right. He turned on the system''s scanning function, carefully scanned the whole dorm, but found nothing.


    How could this be possible¡­ He frowned, sat on the living room sofa and rubbed his chin.


    When an omega turned 16, they would begin to have heats. Before they turned 20, they would have heats once every three months. After they turned 20, it became once a month. The protagonist was 18 years old, so they should have a heat every 3 months. The Royal Military Academy''s semesters were four months long, during which the students weren''t allowed toe and go at will. It was impossible for the protagonist toe to the school without inhibitors, but he had just scanned the protagonist''s luggage and found nothing. In the original plot, the protagonist was an orphan, they were very poor and didn''t have a storage device like a space ring on their body. The inhibitors needed to be stored in a special device, so it was impossible to carry them directly in a pocket¡­ Was the plot already falling apart at this point?


    [Asking host to please trust the system.]


    He poked at the little mirror, turned off the light screen, and continued thinking. Assuming the plot information had no problems, then why did the protagonist not bring any inhibitors? The freshman''s training started tomorrow. After the training, there was only half a day off. sses would begin on the second day¡­ Was the protagonist going to use the half-day off after the freshman training to go out to buy it? But buying inhibitors requires identification. The original plot had said that the protagonist anonymously purchased the inhibitors on the ck market while they were out on their part-time job¡­ Wait! Going out for a part-time job? When Ye Zhizhou was registering earlier, the staff member seemed to have mentioned that the military school students weren''t allowed to work part-time outside of the school?


    Afraid that he might just be remembering it wrong, Ye Zhizhou quickly took out the brochure that the school had just handed out from his space and turned to the important notice sections to look for it, line by line. He was dumbstruck. It really was there! Military school students weren''t allowed to work part-time outside the school, except during summer and winter vacation!


    So, how did the protagonist go to the mechaponent factory every weekend to make money? Military students going in and out of the school must register their names, and during their time of enrollment in the school, all the information of their activities off-campus would be synched to the school system. It was impossible to secretly work part-time off-campus with the school breathing down their neck unless they used a fake identity! More importantly, there were all kinds of part-time jobs for students within the school, most of which were rted to mecha manufacturing. Why would the protagonist want to work so far away from school? For money? But military students received monthly allowances, therefore there wouldn''t be problems with not enough living expenses.


    As if he had found a ball of yarn''s starting point, Ye Zhizhou''s brain began to run at full speed, crazily unraveling the yarn.


    Suddenly, Ye Zhizhou heard the sound of the door unlocking and looked up to see two pretty youths with very simr wildly smiling facesing in one after another, followed by a young student with a helpless expression on their face.


    [Scanpleted. Three targets scanned. Gender: Male. This world''s gender: Alpha. Healthy body, no hidden illnesses. Applicable pill: None.]


    The system''s scanning function that was still on, automatically scanned the three people entering the dorm, and diligently disyed the results in front of Ye Zhizhou. He looked at the light screen that popped up in front of him and tried really hard to keep a straight face, to not show his surprise.


    Three people. This world''s gender was alpha! All three were alphas? Wasn''t the protagonist listed as a beta while really being an omega?<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Arriving in Dark Clouds for the mine! Love you so much = 3=</strong>


    <strong>PS: It didn''t grow fat, it actually shrunk QvQ</strong>


    <strong>PS: Little Angels are so good at guessing the plot. I chose to go away, so my typing speed also went away ¡¾Big mistake!</strong>


    <strong>Divi:</strong> SOOOOO, since the system scanned Eddie, Chigita, and Anuot as males, we will be using he/him for them! If the system scans them in the future and specifies the non-abo world gender we will switch! For now, you get some he and they.


    <strong>Mina: </strong>Plot twisting up! Is protag actually an Alpha?? or is he a Beta or Omega?

 Chapter 104

    When the twins, Chigita and Anuot, saw that there was someone in their living room, their smiles dimmed, and they walked forward to greet Ye Zhizhou. Ye Zhizhou also quickly got up to greet them and then politely introduced himself. Lastly, he looked at the protagonist, Eddie, pretended to look nervous and excited and quickly said, "I heard earlier that there was a double majoring genius who''s in two departments. When I saw the names on the door of each person''s room, I was surprised. It''s a great honor to share a dorm with you. Actually, I also wanted to do a double major. You gave me the courage to challenge the impossible, thank you."


    "You also want to do a double major?" When Chigita heard this, he curiously came up and asked, "What major do you want asides from mecha manufacturing? With your qualifications, it would be difficult to double major." On each person''s door was a namete that included basic information such as gender and aptitude, so things like aptitude were transparent between roommates.


    "Chigita!" Anuot felt a headache rising, and pulled his brother back. He smiled apologetically at Ye Zhizhou and exined, "My brother''s words have no other meaning. My name is Anuot, nice to meet you."


    "I''m Chigita." Chigita leaned forward again, smiling very sweetly. "Although Anuot and I look very simr, I''m the more handsome one. He''s like a little old man, very recognizable."


    Ye Zhizhou couldn''t resist softlyughing. The twins'' personalities seemed to be much easier to get along with than what the original plot information had mentioned. Once again, he reintroduced himself to both of them. He scratched his head and sheepishly said, "I want to also major in gic research, but I have to pass the exam before I can do a double major."


    ¡°Gic research?¡± Chigita was surprised, and then disyed admiration in his eyes. "Pansy, you''re even more amazing than Eddie. You actually picked the difficult gic research major!"


    Anuot was also momentarily surprised, but then quickly pulled himself together and said, "If you need any help, please don''t hesitate to ask. I wish you good luck on your test."


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Ye Zhizhou also sweetly smiled, and then, using the space ring as a cover took a few things out of his space. He handed them over one by one and said, "I have prepared some gifts for you guys¡­ Just some little trinkets, but I hope you like them."


    ¡°Ohoh, what''s this? It smells sweet and feelsfortable." Chigita turned the small pendant over in his hand, lifted it to his nose and curiously sniffed it. He then happily said, "Sky blue. I like this color. It also feels a little cool in my hands."


    Of course the crystal nucleus of a high-grade ice zombie would feel cool¡­ Ye Zhizhou couldn''t bear seeing the image of a handsome man sniffing a zombie''s crystal nucleus. He looked away and uneasily said, "This thing is called a crystal nucleus. I got it by chance. It has the effect of soothing spiritual power, but it must not be absorbed, otherwise, it''ll conflict with the spiritual power." When he was bored back then, he tried to remove the crystal nucleus'' impurities, and then found that a level three high-grade ice and wood crystal nucleus could soothe spiritual power after it was purified; it was very useful.


    When Chigita heard this, he quickly withdrew the leaking spiritual power and patted his chest. "Okay, okay. I almost couldn''t stop myself from absorbing it. Thank you, Pansy. I really like this gift. This will definitely save me some time and effort when I train!"


    Ye Zhizhou responded with a smile and then looked at Anuot.


    Anuot''s present was a Gundam model. Yes, it was a Gundam model that could be assembled and disassembled. It was even a limited edition! This world''s mechas looked simr to Gundams. Anuot was a model fanatic who liked to dismantle model mechas. This gift could be considered very to his taste.


    "Thanks, I like it a lot." Anuot''s attention was already entirely on the new mecha model. After hurriedly thanking him, he sat on the sofa with the mecha model and began to single-mindedly focus on it.


    ¡°Stupid brother.¡± Chigita ignored him and snorted, but nced at the toy in Anuot''s hand and then looked at the pendant in his hand. He then walked forward and hooked an arm around Ye Zhizhou''s neck, saying in a quiet voice, "Although this crystal nucleus that can soothe spiritual power is very good, but, cough, do you still have more mecha models?"


    Ye Zhizhou nced at him from the corner of his eye, absolutely not expecting that the twin could have such a thick face. He took out a non-limited version of the Gundam model from his space and stuffed it into Chigita''s hands. He replied with an equally quiet voice, "These models aren''t avable for purchase, this is the only one left¡ªif it gets broken, it can''t be reced."


    When Chigita heard this, the hand that was holding the model trembled, and he held it even more carefully. "Don''t worry, I''ll properly hide it. I''ll never let my stupid brother find out!"


    The two tacitly looked at each other andughed. The revolutionary friendship bridge was sessfully built.


    Eddie, who had been given the cold shoulder, slightly frowned and lowered his head to look down at the book in his hand. He smiled and then walked up towards the two, and with a natural and intimate attitude, said, "Thank you for the book, Pansy. I like it very much."


    Ye Zhizhou tilted his head to look at him and continued to shyly smile. "It''s great that you like it." He had meticulously selected this novel that involved defeating the Mary Sue female protagonist''s harem. The pacing of the story was good, with apact writing style, and the Mary Sue''s ending was particrly tragic! The protagonist must really take a good look!


    ¡°What book?¡± Chigita curiously approached them but was then dragged back by Ye Zhizhou. "I have another book here, you can take it if you want to read it." He took out a book about a male lead that was being two-timed by the female protagonist, and then tormented to the point where his life was so bleak that he was better off dead. "I also brought some snacks. Start on the book, I''ll go get them."


    Chigita cried out happily, gave him a big hug and then ran to where Anuot was sitting while hugging the book. Eddie''s hand that was holding the book unconsciously clenched and doubt shed in his eyes. He clearly chose a gloomy person with an unpleasant personality as hisst roommate, but this person¡­


    [The protagonist¡¯s system is scanning you.]


    <span>Ye Zhizhou didn''t look at the light screen that popped up in front of him. He continued to slowly load snacks onto the te, asking in his mind, "The protagonist''s system has a scanning function?"


    [Yes. I can detect it but it can''t detect me. And the scanning function is only basic, it can only identify a person''s aptitude.]


    <span>This smug little appearance¡­ He poked at the little mirror in his pocket, a bit amused. He turned around holding the snack te, pretending not to see the shock in Eddie''s eyes and called out with a smile, "Eddie, why are you still standing at the door? Come and sit down."


    Eddie quickly suppressed his surprise and sat down on the sofa a bit stiffly. "Pansy, the gic research major seems to have a spiritual power rank requirement. If you''re only A-rank, wouldn''t you fail the exam?"


    "I''ll study hard." Ye Zhizhou set the snacks on the tea table and then sat next to Eddie, pouring him a ss of juice before handing it to him. "As for spiritual power rank, I''m actually an SS-rank."


    Actually an SS-rank! Eddie''s heart tightened, and he raised his finger, pointing at Pansy''s room door. "But, the namete on your door¡­"


    "Ah, yes that. It should be changed tomorrow." He pretended to be embarrassed, smiled and said, "Before I actually enrolled, my spiritual power rank suddenly increased, and it was a little unstable. My family filled it in as A-rank just to be safe. After all, there are some stories about spiritual power bing unstable and falling after increasing a rank."


    "So it was like that." The corner of Eddie''s mouth slightly quirked up, and he reluctantly smiled. He nced at the twins, who were reading a book and dismantling a mecha model, on the other side of the room from the corner of his eye. He was a little upset. He had purposely used the system to arrange himself to be roommates with the twins, and also chose Pansy, this mediocre and unpleasant person to be a foil, but now¡­ SS-rank spiritual power, with a double major in gic research and mecha manufacturing¡­ Where was he mediocre? Who was a foil for who? Damn it!


    With a cry of surprise, Chigita, who was reading the book, suddenly jumped straight off the sofa. "What a terrible person! Unexpectedly simultaneously falling for both brothers. And to even seduce one while stringing the other one along! Rotten character! Disgusting!"


    Anuot was so startled by his yelling that he almost ripped off one of the Gundam''s arms. He looked up and pulled Chigita back down onto the sofa. He frowned. "What did you read that made you so riled up like this? Be quiet."


    ¡°It''s the book that little Pansy gave me. The book''s female protagonist is so bad, she actually fell in love with a pair of brothers at the same time. And then the brothers even became enemies for this woman!" Chigita rapidly told him the book''s plot and then looked at him with pitiful and abandoned eyes. "Anuot, if one day, we both liked the same person, and that person also fell in love with both of us, would you turn against me and fight me for that woman?" As he said this, he unconsciously imagined such a scene happening, and it caused him to be so sad he almost cried.


    Anuot really wanted to hit him. "Why would I like such an indecisive sham of a person? Unless you be hateful to me first, I won''t leave you."


    Chigita was moved and hugged him, rubbing against him. "Stupid brother, I''m not leaving you either."


    Anuot pushed him away with a dark face, protecting the model in his hand. "But, if you dare to y with my model secretly, I''ll never forgive you for the rest of my life."


    Chigita''s moved expression froze, and then he rushed up to angrily hit him. "Asshole brother! Breaking off rtions with you!"


    [The probability of Chigita, Anuot and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 80%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou beamed at the fighting twins and leaned over to Eddie who had a stiff expression. He discussed the plot with him. "Eddie, I also think that the female protagonist is very bad. How could love amodate a third person, don''t you think so?"


    "Uhh, en¡­" Eddie vaguely answered, pretending to be absorbed in his book, but there was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes. This damn Pansy wasn''t the same as the one mentioned in the profile! And that book¡­ He took a deep breath, holding back his anger as schemes began to fly through his mind. It can''t continue to be like this. He has to find a way to get Pansy out of his dormitory.


    On the principle of reciprocity, after epting Ye Zhizhou''s gifts, the upied twins'' attitude towards Ye Zhizhou quickly changed, bing warmer. On the contrary, Eddie, who spoke less, didn''t fit into the group as much.


    During the freshman military training, Eddie was indeed assigned to Ned''s team, while Ye Zhizhou was assigned to another, more mild-tempered instructor. Since the twins were alphas, they had already been called away by the alpha instructor.


    After the teams were assigned the students followed their instructors to the training ground in another part of the campus. As Ye Zhizhou mingled with the crowd, he also found Ned''s position and turned on the system''s scanning function to scan them.


    [Scanpleted. Healthy body, no hidden illnesses. There are traces of violent fractures in the spiritual power sea, the fractures may break at any time. Applicable Pills: Top grade <span>Ningshen and Anshen pill.]


    Ye Zhizhou frowned. The spiritual power sea was the source of one''s spiritual power. Even just a little bit of damage could cause spiritual power instability, the copse of it would be even more terrible. The lucky ones would just be fools, and the unlucky ones would directly die. He hadn''t expected that Ned''s hidden injury was actually so serious, and, it was violent fractures which were even more painful.


    The freshman training was very exhausting. The original owner''s physical qualifications were poor. Ye Zhizhou directly fell to the ground after the day of training. The twins jogged over from the other side of the training ground while covered in sweat, dragged him up from the ground, and said, "Walk, walk. Let''s go eat, we''ll help you stretch your muscles after the meal. You''ll be in a world of pain tomorrow if you just copse like this."


    "Hold on," Ye Zhizhou grabbed them and pointed to the team that was still training in the corner. "Eddie still hasn''t been dismissed yet."


    Chigita looked in the direction he pointed to and said with sympathy, "Eddie is so unfortunate to be assigned to Ned''s group. Usually, a beta like him should be assigned to a team like little Pansy''s."


    "He has an SS-rank constitution, so it''s not suitable to be on the same team with other betas." Anuot understood better, but his eyes were still full of sympathy. "But Eddie is truly unlucky. Instructor Ned was someone that the Eldest Highness trained¡­ But s, the Eldest Highness¡­" He shook his head, eyes full of admiration and pity.


    Chigita also sighed when he heard this. "How could an excellent person like the Eldest Highness just not awaken their spiritual power? God is too unfair!"


    Ye Zhizhou raised his eyebrows, Eldest Highness? The plot information didn''t have much information on them. It had just mentioned that they were a waste who couldn''t awaken their spiritual power and thus were deprived of the right to inheritance early, their existence simr to just a puppet. But, the twins'' tone just now when they had mentioned the Eldest Highness made it seem like the other side was very powerful? Just as he was about to ask, there was a sudden cry of rm from Ned''s group. He quickly turned his head around to look and saw Eddie helplessly standing in front of the team, facing Ned who had just copsed on the ground.


    [Detected that the protagonist''s system has turned on its scanning function. Asking Host to please pay attention.]


    Startled, he quickly hurried towards them. In the original plot, the protagonist found out about the hidden injury in Ned''s spiritual sea during a private training session with the instructor. This was just the first day of freshman training, it couldn''t be this early¡­


    [Does Host wish to cut off the protagonist''s system''s signal?]


    ¡°You actually have this capability?¡±


    The little mirror shook in his pocket and the contents of the light screen changed. [Asking Host to please trust the system.]


    "Then, hurry up and stop it! Don''t let Eddie see the problem!"


    The light screen disappeared, turning into tiny pieces of light that floated towards the protagonist.


    As he finished speaking, he had reached Ned''s location, and he became aware of the instability of the other''s spiritual power. He quickly sent out his spiritual power to surround Ned and then slowly tried to cate the spiritual power floating around.


    "I-I just knocked into the instructor." Eddie somewhat helplessly leaned forward, wanting to help Ned up. "Instructor, are you okay? I''m sorry. I''ll bring you to the infirmary."


    "Don''t touch me yet." As one of the alpha leads, there was nothing to nitpick about Ned''s appearance. He was very virile and handsome, but he had deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, making him look serious. He sat up from the ground and nced at Ye Zhizhou before he waved towards Eddie. "It''s not your problem, don''t apologize. My spiritual power was a little unstable. I just didn''t control myself properly and suffered a little shock."


    At this moment, Eddie had already received his system''s scanning results. Hearing Ned''s words, he withdrew his hand and was confused. Why didn''t his system detect anything¡­?


    "Instructor, are you really alright?" Ye Zhizhou took out a bottle of water from his space and handed it to Ned. He was still epassing the other with his spiritual power as he concernedly said, "You should go to the infirmary."


    The restless spiritual power was gradually eased, and Ned''s expression rxed a lot. He epted the bottle of water and took a sip, then stood up and patted Ye Zhizhou on the shoulder. "Thank you. All right, everyone can go now, today''s training is over." As he said this, he suddenly frowned, raising his hand to rub his temple, and then looked down at the water bottle in his hand.


    The students who had been mercilessly trained for the day saw that he was all right and sessively left. Ye Zhizhou withdrew his spiritual power and made preparations to seemingly leave with the twins. As expected, he was called out by Ned.


    ¡°This student, you stay behind for a bit.¡±


    Eddie stopped and looked back when he heard this. Ned motioned towards him, indicating that he didn''t mean him. He then looked at Ye Zhizhou, who also looked back. "You stay behind, I have something to ask you."


    The twins obscurely looked at Ye Zhizhou with sympathy and pulled the frozen Eddie away.


    ¡°Instructor.¡± Ye Zhizhou stepped forward and saluted him.


    "You don''t have to be so serious." Ned lowered his tone and raised the water bottle as he asked, "What did you add to it?"


    Ye Zhizhou squeezed out a nervous expression and replied in a small voice, ¡°I added in some pills that I made myself to help calm my spiritual power. Don''t worry, Instructor, there''s absolutely no problem with the pills. I usually take them myself, and I''ve also tested them before. There are no toxic side effects. Really!"


    "You don''t have to be so tense." Ned awkwardly tried tofort him with a few words and then said, "I''m sure you''ve also noticed that there was something wrong with my spiritual power. Right after I drank the water you gave me, I felt much better, so thank you."


    "I''m d that it was useful." He conveniently took out a small bottle of pills from his space and handed it to Ned. He purely and foolishly smiled. "I have a lot of pills, I''ll give you this bottle. If your spiritual power isn''t stable, then please avoid getting too emotional. Instructor, you need to pay a little more attention to this when doing one on one training."


    Ned hesitated, but still epted his pills in the end, thanking him again.


    Seeing that his n worked, he quickly took out a crystal full of spiritual power and a wood type crystal nucleus to hand to Ned. "My spiritual power is rather rxing, perhaps it might be useful to you. This crystal bead also has the effect of soothing spiritual power. If you don''t mind it, please ept both of them."


    One thing after another, Ned looked at his warm and pure expression, unable to say no. He epted the items and then opened hismunicator. "Give me your ount number, I''ll transfer some money to you."


    Ye Zhizhou was baffled.


    Ned gave him a friendly reminder. "Instructors can''t just ept things from students, or else it would be considered a bribe. Later, I''ll write a transaction application with a detailed list for you. When you sign it, I''ll report it to the school."


    ¡°¡­¡± Bowing down to this military academy''s rules and regtions.


    [The probability of Ned and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Since it actually went down this much, even if it''s troublesome, it''s not a problem!


    After dinner, Ned took out a pill and carefully looked at it before cautiously eating it. After a few seconds, he couldn''t help closing his eyes from the intense sense of relief in his spiritual power. It was so much that he ignored what was going on around him,pletely unaware that someone knocked on the door and came in.


    ¡°What is this?¡±


    It was a cold, low voice, and it made Ned snap out of it. He turned around to see who hade in before hurriedly getting up and saluting. He respectfully called out, "Your Highness."


    A tall silver-haired, ck-eyed man held the crystal and turned to look at Ned, his gaze was dark and oppressive. "Where did thise from?" <hr>

 Chapter 105

    After dinner, the twins held Ye Zhizhou back and dragged him to stretch his muscles. The sore Ye Zhizhou pitifully cried out in pain.


    "You didn''t have the habit of exercising daily before, right? That''s not good. You''ll have to practice more in the future, or else you definitely won''t make it through the school''s quarterly field training." Chigita mumbled as he bit a piece of beef jerky. He patted Ye Zhizhou on the shoulder. "Join me and Anout on our morning runs. I guarantee you that your constitution will be A-rank in a year!"


    Ye Zhizhou looked at him with a gaze that seemed to say that he had nothing left to live for. "I''m not even a mecha major¡­"


    "But, mecha manufacturing also needs physical strength <i>ah</i>! Do you think that mechas are just stic models that could directly be made by hand? You need to use machines to work with them, and most likely, you''ll be on the machine for several hours. You definitely can''t do that without any physical strength." Without caring about his image, Chigita slumped down onto the sofa as he took a piece of fruit pastry. "Besides, even if you just specialize in designing them, you also have to test out theponents on your own. Mecha parts are all metal that weighs several <span>jin, the heavier ones weighing more than ten jin. You can''t use them if you don''t have any strength."


    Ye Zhizhou was already despairing. Sure enough, he and mechas don''t mix well.


    ¡°Don¡¯t listen to him.¡± Anuot pulled his brother up from sinking in the sofa and forced him to sit properly, before handing Ye Zhizhou a water bottle. "In the first year, you can only learn basic knowledge, so you can use this year''s time toy a good foundation for your body. Moreover, in the mecha manufacturering''s design path, they have miniaturized and special versions of theponents, so you don''t have to necessarily use the regr-sized ones."


    "How could a miniaturized or special versionpare to the feeling of a regr-sized one¡­" Chigita grunted. He slyly smiled and beckoned towards Ye Zhizhou. "Call me brother and I''ll make a customized training n for you. How about it? It''s a good deal right?"


    Ye Zhizhou didn''t hesitate to roll his eyes at him as he stood up and waved to them as he returned to his room. He asked Tongtian for a low-grade <span>Xi Sui pill. How hard was it to raise his constitution to A-rank? All he needed to do was take a Xi Sui pill. Besides, for this mecha manufacturing major, he''s definitely going to fail. He''ll fail it until the end of time¡­


    Two minutester, he ran to the bathroom. 20 minutester, he received a video call request with the caller ID being the student union.


    Why would they call at this time¡­? He wiped his face, tidied himself up, and then went back to the room to ept the call.


    The video call light screen popped up and a handsome silver-haired, ck-eyed man appeared on the screen, followed by a deep and pleasant-sounding voice. "Why did it take so long?"


    Big brother, who are you?


    Restaining his desire to curse, he replied honestly, "The circumstances were a bit inconvenient earlier¡­ May I ask the reason why the student union is looking for me?"


    The handsome silver-haired man sized him up, his gaze stopping on Ye Zhizhou''s untucked shirt spilling out of his belt. "Did the instructor not teach you that you must maintain a ?"


    Ye Zhizhou silently tucked his shirt in.


    The handsome silver-haired man withdrew his gaze from Ye Zhizhou''s body with satisfaction, and then directly looked at him, but his tone was very administrative and indifferent. "Bring your information to the student union''s registration room on the second floor. The list of make-up entrance examinees for the generic research major needs to be reconfirmed. The dormitory administrator has already introduced you, so you can directlye here after reporting your student ID."


    <span>The light screen disappeared and the call ended. Ye Zhizhou recovered from the pair of ck eyes that looked like it wanted to eat him up. He rubbed his arms, was it just an illusion? Why did he feel that the gaze of the handsome brother from the student union was very piercing as if he wanted to devour him?


    The student union''s building location was a little far from the dormitory. It took half an hour to walk there. When he reached his destination, Ye Zhizhou couldn''t feel his own legs anymore. An entire day of training, half an hour of stretching, and squatting on the toilet for 20 minutes¡­ It was just too much.


    At night, the military academy was quiet and cold. Besides the instructor on patrol, there wasn''t a single student walking around. He looked at the dark drill grounds behind him, then at the half-open door of the Student Union Building, before confirming the call history in themunicator. He shrunk into himself. Why did this feel like a scene from a horror movie? Furthermore, he couldn''t see any signs of other examinees¡­


    "Fellow student, what are you standing here for?"


    The sudden clear and melodious voice startled him; Ye Zhizhou quickly turned around to spot a refined-looking brown-haired and <span>blue-eyed handsome man walking out from behind a flower bush, with a kind smile on his elegant face. "So it''s actually a freshman. Why did youe to the student union?"


    Ye Zhizhou stealthily took a deep breath while pressing down his scared and wildly beating heart, gesturing towards the folder in his hands. He said, "Senior, I''m here to re-register my information for the gic research major''s make-up entry exam. Uh, did Ie to the wrong ce? This is the Student Union Building right? Howe I don''t see any of the other examinees¡­?"


    The refined-looking handsome man heard Ye Zhizhou¡¯s words and then his eyes twinkled before carefully sizing him up. His smile became increasingly amiable. ¡°So it was to register. You didn¡¯te to the wrong ce. It¡¯s only natural that you didn¡¯t see other examinees since only six candidates are taking the make-up entrance exam for the gic research major this year. Come with me, I just happen to also be going to the second floor¡¯s registration room. I¡¯ll take you with me.¡±


    Ye Zhizhou let out a sigh of relief, quickly thanked him and then followed him into the building.


    "Which major are you in, Freshman? Why do you want to get into the gic research major?" The refined-looking handsome man was amiable and talkative, chatting with Ye Zhizhou as he led the way. He had a natural and gentle attitude, which made peoplepletely let down their guard against him. "Listening to your ent, you must not be from the capital star. How are you adapting to the capital''s climate?"


    ¡°I¡¯m from the mecha manufacturing department, and I''m just interested in gic research." Ye Zhizhou responded, being reciprocal to the man''s chatting as his mind gradually rxed. "The capital star''s climate is very simr to that of my hometown''s, there is nothing to adapt to here. Thank you Senior for your concern."


    The refined-looking handsome man''s attitude became even more amiable. "You don''t have to be so polite, in the future, we''ll all be a family¡­ from the same school. Of course, we need to look after each other."


    Ye Zhizhou didn¡¯t notice the pause in his words, smiled and nodded. He didn¡¯t say thank you or other polite words again.


    When they came to the front of the registration room''s door, Ye Zhizhou raised his hand to knock, but the refined-looking handsome man stopped him. He directly grabbed the door handle and turned it, saying in a loud voice, "Brother, I''vee to see you. How many days can you stay at school this time?"


    ¡°Three days.¡± The cold-sounding reply actually came from behind them. Ye Zhizhou turned around and saw the handsome silver-haired man, who had talked with him before, standing behind him with a cold face while holding a small box in his hand. His eyes exuded chilliness. "Chris, why did youe here?"


    "Came to see you." The refined-looking handsome man, named Chris, turned around and opened his arms with a wide smile on his face. "No emotional long time no see hug, Brother?"


    Chris?


    With his eyes unconsciously widening, Ye Zhizhou looked at one person and then at the other. Chris was the Empire''s <span>second prince and was also part of the protagonist''s harem. And the man who he called brother¡­ Ye Zhizhou once again looked at the cold face of the silver-haired, ck-eyed handsome man, and let his gaze stop on the other''s impable handsome face, before internally screeching as his mind fell apart. The empire only had two princes, so the only one who could be called "brother" by Chris was the eldest prince, y! But, but¡­ The two were obviously blood brothers so why were their appearances so different?! One was coldly handsome while the other was gentle and refined. One had brown hair and blue eyes, while the other had silver hair and ck eyes¡­ One had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs but the other one was refined, elegant and fresh¡­ How could they be born from the same mother?!


    y ignored his younger brother''s expectant eyes and turned his head to meet Ye Zhizhou''s widened eyes. He raised his hand and gently poked. "Single eyelids."


    The finger that poked his eyelid was very gentle. He reflexively blinked but became shocked shortly after. Just now, when the finger touched him, he seemed to have felt a trace of the familiar and aggressive spiritual power.


    ¡°Wait!¡± He quickly grabbed the other''s withdrawing hand and pressed it back onto his face.


    The ce on his face covered by the palm was very warm, but that familiar spiritual power didn''t appear. He doubtfully frowned and wondered¡­ Was it just an illusion?


    y stood still and allowed Ye Zhizhou to do as he pleased as if being grabbed by an unfamiliar student was a normal thing. Chris silently put his arms down, opened hismunicator, and sent a message to the imperial consort: Elder Brother has fallen in love with a beta at first sight at school. Prepare for the wedding.


    The imperial consort, who was applying a face mask, was so startled that they almost smashed the aromatherapy candle in their hands.


    How could it not be there¡­ Ye Zhizhou moved the other''s hand to his forehead again, gently rubbing against it, but he still didn''t feel that familiar spiritual power.


    ¡­ So, was this person his lover or not?


    "Your temperature is normal. You''re not ill." y abruptly and lightly spoke up before taking his hand back. He stepped into the registration room, his attitude bing distant and indifferent. He didn''t have his lover''s typical clingy yet domineering appearance at all.


    With this kind of appearance, it didn''t seem like his lover¡­ Ye Zhizhou followed him in with a puzzled expression, but didn''t give up and let his spiritual power out to float around the room; however, he found that the other didn''t have any particr response to it.


    Was it really not him? The procedures were quickly handled, and Ye Zhizhou frustratedly withdrew his spiritual power with dim eyes¡­ Yeah, how could it be? It was not like he found his lover that quickly in every single world¡­ Maybe that spiritual power that he had felt just now was his mistake¡­ But, he clearly didn''t detect the other when he had approached¡­ Wait a minute! He didn''t detect the other person when he approached?


    His footsteps stopped and he turned around, just happening to meet the other''s gaze.


    y pressed down the emotions in his gaze and resumed his aloof appearance. He asked with seemingly no reluctance at all, "Is there anything else?"


    Fuck! Sure enough, it was his lover, this bastard! He clearly saw that gaze filled with possessiveness!


    "There is something!" He gasped in return. He quickly walked towards Chris, who was off to the side drinking tea, bent over, and kissed him on the cheek before saying in a loud voice, "Senior, you''re too handsome! I fell in love with you at first sight! Let''s date!"


    Pftt¡ª¡ª


    Chris directly spat his tea out.


    ¡°Pansy!¡± The pen that y was holding snapped in two and his voice was full of suppressed anger. "Students aren''t allowed to date!"


    Ye Zhizhou turned around to stare at him. "I''m not dating, I just have a crush!"


    "Crushes aren''t allowed either!"


    "Why not?!"


    y got up and walked over to him. He roughly wiped Ye Zhizhou''s lips and clenched his teeth with anger. "You can only be mine! If I say no, then you''re not allowed!"


    He had heard this sentence so often his ears might as well have calluses! Ye Zhizhou became angry and opened his mouth to fiercely bite y''s finger. Then, he stretched his arms out towards his face and pulled him down, pressing their foreheads together while grinding his teeth. "Unexpectedly not even awakening your spiritual power, you''re really¡­" <span>It''s already so miserable for y to deny himself, does he want to tear his soul apart in the next life?!


    A tremendous and deep spiritual power quickly popped out to surround y and unhesitatingly burrowed into his brain through the ears. The spiritual power rushed towards the ce where y''s spiritual power sea was surging.


    y moved and obediently closed his eyes while embracing Ye Zhizhou.


    The teacup in Chris'' hand fell to the ground with a thud. What was he seeing? His brother, the serious and powerful prince y, w-was actually being vited by a freshman''s spiritual power?! No? His brother didn''t awaken his spiritual power, the other person must be strong¡­ That''s not right either! Not awakening spiritual power didn''t mean that he didn''t have a spiritual power sea¡­


    So should he call the police or not?!<hr>

 Chapter 106

    Everyone''s spiritual power sea was different; some wererge while others were small, some were beautiful and others were ugly, some had spiritual power seas that were deeply hidden while others had ones that justid in the most prominent position in the head. Ye Zhizhou''s spiritual power sea was a deeply hidden, beautiful starry sky. If someone wanted to invade his mind to cause damage, they probably wouldn''t be able to find the right area. y''s spiritual power sea however, was a desert engulfed with strong winds, and you can see it the moment you entered his mind.


    Ye Zhizhou deeply frowned and carefully probed at y''s spiritual power sea with his spiritual power, not expecting the abrupt change. After touching it with his spiritual power, those strong winds acted as if they were a hungry wolf that just saw food, and suddenly excitedly threw itself towards his spiritual power with an extremely fast speed¡ªhe had no chance to react at all.


    "Ah!"


    The pain of his spiritual power being attacked came sharply, and it was so intense that Ye Zhizhou couldn¡¯t help but tighten his hand that was holding y¡¯s cheek. y¡¯s consciousness had already sunk into the depths of his mind, but after hearing Ye Zhizhou¡¯s groan, he struggled to recover a trace of rationality, and tightened the hand holding him.


    The strong winds quickly softened and slowly swept Ye Zhizhou''s spiritual power into the desert. Both sides thoroughly fused together and unexpectedly turned into raindrops that slowly rained down onto the desert, forming small moist holes.


    This was¡­ The pain had already been reced by a sense of satisfaction and relief. He tentatively increased the amount of probing spiritual power and then found that increasingly more raindrops fell into the desert. The strong winds that mixed with the spiritual power also turned into the familiar aggressive spiritual power. Ye Zhizhou became extremely surprised because, after the strong wind turned into the familiar aggressive spiritual power, his own spiritual power also became much stronger.


    What was going on?


    A faint mint fragrance suddenly appeared around him and he unconsciously released his hand that was holding onto y''s cheek to instead hook it around his neck, with a rising desire to be closer to the other.


    Chirs, who was nervously watching the situation, was once again stunned. This smell¡­ His elder brother was actually going into his rut while being vited by spiritual power? What the fuck¡­ Ah no, he¡¯s the crown prince, can''t swear. Oh mother, elder brother seems to have been possessed by something strange.


    Ye Zhizhou obeyed his heart''s desire while increasing the probing spiritual power, moaningfortably. This pleasurable feeling of his spiritual power bing stronger was just too addictive!


    Instead of trying to figure out why the integration of their two spiritual powers resulted in this, he put his mindpletely into his lover''s spiritual power sea and began to concentrate on intertwining with the wind. Small raindrops grew intorge raindrops, therge raindrops became a thread of water, the thread of water became a stream of water, and the stream of water gradually converged into a waterfall. In the wake of Ye Zhizhou''s spiritual power that was widely spreading and thoroughly mixing with y''s spiritual power sea, the sand was slowly submerged until it gradually just disappeared and revealed the beautiful ice underneath. The water continued to erode the ice away, the ice melted and the water thenbined with it to form a sea. At least, a gust of wind blew through the water and created a tiny ripple; the wind stopped, the rain continued to fall, and everything was tranquil.


    The spiritual power couldn''t help but cheerfully jump around on the beautiful sea-like surface. A small jet of water suddenly stretched out from the water, coiled around Ye Zhizhou''s spiritual power and dragged it under the water. His body feltnguid, as though he was surrounded by warm water, and his spiritual power that was being continuously cleansed by the water gradually fell into a steady sleep-like, steady state. A bead of water sneaked out of the water and turned into a thread of spiritual power, slowly moving towards the direction that Ye Zhizhou came from, before directly charging into the deeply hidden beautiful starry sky in his mind.


    Ye Zhizhou can¡¯t help but tightly clutch onto his lover''s clothes.


    This was the first time he had been identally vited by his lover''s spiritual power. The other hadn''t found his spiritual power sea and instead only grasped the spiritual power that was hidden in his brain, forcing it to merge with this. But right now¡­ it felt so good having his spiritual power sea touched like this! It was like having *** with his lover!


    He exhaled, silentlymenting in his heart. A world where everyone had spiritual power was just the best! This world was differentpared to those previous worlds where, even if his lover awakened his spiritual power, he couldn''t cultivate it by himself so he had to depend on him bit by bit. Now his lover could even find his spiritual power sea and it could be clearly seen that his lover''s spiritual power in this world was healthy! Completely intact! It could be cultivated!


    Chris was flushed with excitement. He definitely didn''t feel it wrong. Just now, there was a spiritual power wave from his elder brother! A very strong fluctuation! If he had known that being forcely attacked could awaken his elder brother''s spiritual power, he would''ve looked for someone a long time ago¡­ A thread of aggressive spiritual power threateningly circled around him and then tore the spiritual power that he had identally leaked out in his excitement into pieces.


    ¡­ As expected, it was still his ferocious elder brother. Chris became well-behaved and didn''t dare to let his imagination run wild anymore, silently picking up the broken teacup from the ground.


    [Detecting Host soul fluctuation¡­ Soul fluctuation ended. Congrattions on upgrading your spiritual power, Host.]


    The two opened their eyes simultaneously, and y, after a moment of forbearance, dropped his head and kissed Ye Zhizhou''s eyes before slowly moving downwards. Ye Zhizhou closed his eyes, moving over to meet y, ready to get nice and intimate with his lover.


    "Cough cough cough!"


    <span>y''s action stopped, and Ye Zhizhou became rigid, before he quickly pushed y away.


    <span>"Chris!" y, whose happy asion got interrupted, became extremely angry. He unconsciously released his newly awakened spiritual power with his voice and it swept towards Chris.


    <span>"Brother! Elder Brother! Calm down!" Chris, who had already seen the ferocious side of y''s spiritual power, quickly shrank back and covered his eyes with teacup fragments. "I didn''t see anything! This is just a friendly reminder, students aren''t allowed to date! You don''t want Sister-inw to have to drop out of school just as he started right?!"


    Ye Zhizhou''s blushed when he heard this loud exmation of ''Sister-inw''. Suddenly, he felt that his face wasn''t thick enough even after several worlds of training. He went to y''s side and tugged at his sleeve, saying in a small voice, "Withdraw your spiritual power. It can easily hurt people." It can also easily seduce people. He didn''t know why, but for some reason, it seemed like he had no resistance towards his lover''s spiritual power and scent.


    y quickly drew back his scattered spiritual power. He raised his hand to touch Ye Zhizhou but put down his hand halfway through raising it because he had thought of what Chris had said. With a dark expression, he coldly asked, "How long until you turn 20 years old?"


    "In five more months, why do you ask?" As he replied, Ye Zhizhou came closer to y and smelled the increasingly stronger mint fragrance from the other side. He couldn''t help asking, "Why do I feel like you smell so nice? Clearly it was very faint before¡­ Ah, it''s smelling stronger and stronger¡­" It''s also bing more and more seductive, in such a way that he can''t hold back.


    "Pffttt." Chris''ughter forcefully reminded them of his existence and the two of them looked over at him together. Chris quickly collected himself while avoiding y''s icy gaze and smiled towards Ye Zhizhou, bluntly replying with a gentle face, "That''s the smell of Elder Brother''s pheromones. He''s in his rut because of you."


    Ye Zhizhou went silent. Oh yes, this was an ABO world where pheromones and heats/ruts existed. So, that mutual power boost after merging their spiritual powers was also a specialty of this world? Then, his lover''s spiritual power sea in this world would also¡­


    As his thoughts drifted, his expression became a bit vacant. y saw this and thought that he didn''t like it so he wanted to withdraw the pheromones that he had unconsciously emitted. Nothing happened though, and his already cold expression became even colder as he said, "When you turn 20 years old, we''ll get married."


    Ye Zhizhou was scared back to attention. ¡°Aren¡¯t students not allowed to date?¡±


    "Yes, but you''re allowed to get married." y''s fingers moved, once again suppressing the desire to touch the other, and he coldly said, "It''ste, you have to train tomorrow. I''ll send you back."


    Why say goodbye with such a grim expression¡­ Ye Zhizhou felt a bit amused in his heart, and he raised the folder in his hand while asking, "In fact, there was no need to re-register, right?"


    y looked at him intensely, remaining silent and motionless, but his spiritual power once again uncontrobly came out and rushed at Ye Zhizhou, intimately rubbing against him.


    Ye Zhizhou also let his spiritual power out to wrap around him for a while. He took advantage of the time when y''s breathing became heavier and his mind was still a bit dazed to quickly withdraw his spiritual power. He then turned around, quickly ran to the door, hurriedly said goodbye and ran off.


    There seemed to have been a strong wind that zipped by in the room. Chris feebly stuck his head out while still holding the teacup fragments in his hand and said in a small voice, "Brother¡­ Dale will be here in a moment. Your pheromone smell¡­" It''s too thick. Those that don''t know what happened might assume that something happened between us brothers.


    y nced at him and then strode out. "I''ll be at the lounge. When Dale arrives, have them wait for me in the conference room next to the lounge."


    The threatening spiritual power in the air finally disappeared when the door closed. Chris let out a sigh of relief before he delightfully took out hismunication device to send a message to the imperial consort: Mother, Brother has awakened his spiritual power and it''s very strong. The sessor''s position should be returned to him. I want to be the useless second prince.¡¾Happy¡¿


    The imperial consort, who was currently hesitating whether or not to send a message to their eldest son, was once again startled. In the end, the aromatherapy candle in their hand was finally fed to the carpet.


    Ye Zhizhou returned to the door with a bright red face and rmingly found a wildly smiling Eddie holding a cake, waiting for him. His heart became silently guarded and he bewilderedly asked, "Eddie, why haven''t you gone to sleep?"


    "After I finished the training, I saw that there was still some time, so I went to the dormitory building''s big kitchen to make some small cakes. This is yours. I wasn''t sure if you''d like the strawberry vor." Eddie handed over the cake and smiled with a little embarrassment. "Thank you for your help today with Instructor Ned. I thought that I would''ve been disciplined. It was all my fault that you were asked to stay behind by Instructor Ned."


    ¡°Thank you.¡± Ye Zhizhou pretended to be surprised and took the cake over. He waved his hand and said, "You weren''t involved at all. Instructor Ned told me to stay behind so that he could transfer money to me. Didn''t I give him a bottle of water? He said that instructors can''t just take a student''s thing for nothing so he had to pay." "


    "So it was like that." Eddie breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but on the surface, he said with a happy expression, "I''m d I didn''t cause you to be reprimanded by the instructor. By the way, is Instructor Ned''s body not well? When we were practicing, I lost a bit of control¡­"


    "No ah." Ye Zhizhou showed a pure and silly smile, lookingpletely naive and sincere. "Instructor Ned is so strong, how could his body not be well? In fact, you don''t have to me yourself for knocking him down. I feel like he must''ve had a sudden cramp in his leg, or just lost bnce. It''s not your fault."


    Eddie slightly frowned and was unwilling to give up so he continued to try to indirectly ask about it. Ye Zhizhou replied back with apletely watertight argument and then went back to his room under the pretext of going to bed early.


    Outside of his door, the smile on Eddie''s face disappeared and his expression became cold. Clearly, the information he received was that Ned was injured from an ambush in thest raid. This time, Ned came to the military school to choose a sessor. From today''s observation, Ned''s constitution was still strong so he must''ve injured his spiritual power, but the system scan from today returned no results¡­ What exactly was going on? Was the information wrong?


    Behind the door, Ye Zhizhou took out the system to scan the cake. Unsurprisingly, the system detected sleeping and muscle rxation pills in the cake''s ingredients. Although there was only a little, if he was really unlucky and fell into Eddie''s trap, with the original owner''s B-rank constitution, he definitely wouldn''t be able to survive the freshman training. If he didn''tplete the freshman training, it would be very likely that the original owner would be dissuaded or forced to change his major. What was the protagonist doing? Why did he suddenly start targeting him?


    Tongtian conveniently scanned his body and then popped out a light screen with the results. [Scanpleted. Gender: Male. This world''s gender: Beta. Spiritual Power Rank: SSS. Constitution: A. Body is health, no hidden illnesses. Applicable pill: None.]


    He only now realized that his spiritual power rank had risen. He was a bit excited as he sent his spiritual power out, tentatively attempting to change his spiritual power into a tangible essence as he carefully molded his spiritual power into the shape of a small butterfly. Half a minuteter, a translucent white butterfly flew from his hand, circling in midair once before flying outside.


    He actually did it! He managed to materialize his spiritual power into a tangible essence! He really profited this time!


    y, who was discussing something with Dale, suddenly stopped talking and looked out the window.


    "What''s wrong?" Dale pushed the sses on the bridge of their nose up and tapped at the documents, asking, "Is there something wrong with this deployment?"


    y ignored them and instead suddenly stretched out a hand towards the window.


    Dale called out to him once again but didn''t get a response. They doubtfully turned to look at Chris, who wasying off to the side sending messages, and asked, "What''s wrong with the Eldest Highness? Still haven''t adapted to his awakened spiritual power?"


    "Ah? You talking about Brother?" Chris finally pulled his eyes off hismunicator and perfunctorily replied, "His appetite just wasn''t sated. Don''t worry about him. Who told him to insist on eating tender grass?"


    Dale was speechless for a moment as they took off their sses and pinched their brows. The Empire had these two princes, it''s really worrying for the Empire''s future.


    A breeze blew the curtains aside, and suddenly, a struggling translucent butterfly fell out of the curtain. Chris and Dale keenly detected the entrance of a strange spiritual power and both of them nervously looked over. y''s mouth slightly curved up and he stretched a hand forward to catch the butterfly, gently touching it with a finger.


    "Is it Sister-inw?" Chris threw aside hismunicator and leaned over with sparkling eyes. He also wanted to touch it. "Is this the essence of an SSS-rank spiritual power? A butterfly shape, how beautiful! Sister-inw is so powerful!"


    Dale¡¯s tense body rxed a little and they doubtfully asked, "Sister-inw? Who?"


    "Pansy ah. The person that Elder Brother fell in love with at first sight. A freshman." Chris'' hand was mercilessly pushed away by y and he was gloomy for just a second before bing happy again. He looked at Dale as he said, "Elder Brother''s spiritual power was awakening because Pansy vited him!"


    Dale''s eyebrows raised and they couldn''t help but lift their hand to try cleaning out their ears.


    "We''ll stop here for today. n A can be deployed without any problems. Pay attention to the personnel selection." y covered the butterfly with his palm, thought about it for a moment and added, "Cancel the random selection for the cross year training after the midterms and rece it with assigned matches. I will discuss it with the senior officers of the military academy." He got up after he finished saying that with a "apanying my wife''s butterfly is more important, you ordinary people aren''t worthy of me wasting my time for" kind of appearance.


    Dale was a bit stunned. "¡­ Eldest Highness'' change is a bit big."


    Chris eximed with sparkling eyes, ¡°This is the power of love. The power of Sister-inw!"


    Dale heard his words and their mind stirred. They carefully looked at Chris'' expression and the fox tail in their heart began to wag. As they lowered their head to collect the documents, they pretended to casually ask, "You really like that sister-inw of yours?"


    "No!" Chris picked up hismunicator and said with a serious face, "I worship him!" Even that fierce brother of mine was tamed by him, and he dared to directly vio¡­ Cough. Anyway, he''s very powerful! Not to mention, there are only a few people in the whole empire that have an SSS-rank spiritual power. You should know that my sister-inw isn''t even 20 years old yet! Elder Brother is a lucky bastard to have Sister-inw fall for him!"


    ¡°What¡¯s your sister-inw¡¯s name?¡±


    ¡°Pansy! Pansy Cheseldine!" Chris had already memorized Ye Zhizhou''s enrollment information. "Even Sister-inw''s name is adorable. Amazing!"


    ¡­ Looks like he had already reached the level of a brain-dead fan. The smile on Dale''s face widened, and there was a glint in their eyes. Seems like they''ve found a breakthrough on how to coax the second prince to take over the student union.


    Chris suddenly felt a chill down his back and his blood-filled head calmed down a bit. He became a little confused. "But why does Elder Brother want to cancel the random selection for the cross year training? Does this strategic n have any special meaning?"


    "No. It has some special significance in regards to your sister-inw. The trainingsts for three days and the matched pair would have eight hours of close intimate contact time each day. Do you think that the eldest highest would allow the person he likes to be paired with others?" Dale finished gathering up the documents and stood up, waving to Chris. "Go back to sleep." Sleep more and gain more IQ.


    Chris nodded with sudden enlightenment. He then tapped on the imperial consort''s phone number with a face that looked like it wanted to gossip and started to wildly type.


    [The probability of Chris and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    [The probability of Dale and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou was awakened by the bright light screen, ncing at it sleepily before he pulled the quilt over to cover his head. He must be dreaming. How could the love probability suddenly go down for no reason¡­?


    In the military academy''s temporary dormitory, y looked at the little butterfly that waszily lying on the pillow and touched its wings with his fingers. Pansy, Ye Zhizhou¡­Which one is your real name?<hr>


    <strong>The author has something to say:</strong>


    <strong>Thank you Jun Shi, Arriving in Dark Clouds, The Golden Age Isn''t Over, Weeping Autumn, New Sprout, Splendid Song for the mine! Love you guys so much = 3=</strong>

 Chapter 107

    After his constitution rose to A-rank, Ye Zhizhou no longer had to strain himself as much during daily training. Now, instead of directly copsing after a day of high-intensity training, he only felt a little tired. Chigita was amazed by this change and then felt even more sympathetic towards Eddie. "It looks like Instructor Ned is particrly fierce today. Look at his students, they look like they''ve lost all hope."


    Anuot keenly noticed that something was different about Ye Zhizhou and asked, ¡°Pansy, did your constitution rank increase?"


    "Looks like it. My spiritual power rank also increased." Ye Zhizhou formed a small ball with his spiritual power before quickly dispersing it,ughing. "It was probably because yesterday''s training pushed me to my physical limits, so my rank suddenly upgradedst night."


    "My god¡­" Chigita was dumbstruck and reached out to touch Ye Zhizhou''s fingertips. When he sensed the aura around his body, Chigita''s eyes started to shine. "An A-rank constitution¡­ Maybe you can even get to S-rank if you continue to train. Adding on your SSS-rank spiritual power¡­ Pansy, it''s such a waste that you didn''t join the mecha department!"


    Anuot patted him on the shoulder with a smile. He said sincerely, ¡°Congrattions. Make sure to report this to the dorm administrator. The stabilization stage that follows is also very important, you should be more careful.¡±


    "Thank you, I will." Ye Zhizhou scratched his head sheepishly, and then took a look at Eddie who was still training. He asked with hesitation, "You guys¡­ Did you guys receive a cake that Eddie baked yesterday?"


    "Yeah I received one, mine was a chocte cake. It was really delicious!" As he recalled the cake''s taste, Chigia smiled brightly. "I''m so lucky to have roommates as good as you and Eddie!"


    Anuot looked at him doubtfully, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"


    "Uh¡­" Ye Zhizhou lowered his voice while disying a confused and uneasy expression. "Maybe it was just my misconception, however¡­ After eating the cake that Eddie gave me yesterday, I kept feeling like my brain was very muddled. Today, after I woke up, my limbs felt weak. At first, I thought it was because my spiritual power and constitution rank both rose at the same time, but¡­ During the break this afternoon I felt hungry, so I took out a piece of leftover cake fromst night and ate it to fill my stomach. Not too long after that, my hands and feet began to feel weak again¡­"


    The smile on Chigita''s face disappeared. He leaned his head to the side and exchanged a look with Anuot before seriously asking, "Pansy, are you sure?"


    "Definitely. Not only that but¡­" He took out the cake box from his space and opened it to show them, his voice bing even softer, "I also found this. Do you see the yellow granules mixed into the cream? It wasn''t there before and only appeared this afternoon¡­ Did your cakes also have these?"


    "Leave the rest of the cake and get it tested." With an ugly expression, Anuot raised his hand to close the box. "Both Chigita and I experienced no adverse effects after eating the cake¡­ Don''t tell Eddie about this for now. Wait until we get the results back."


    Chigita hesitated. "Could it be that you were mistaken? Or, he might''ve just used the wrong ingredients? Eddie seems like a very nice person¡­"


    "Did you already forget about how you were tricked by your good friend in middle school?" Anuot looked at him sharply. "I''d rather be safe than sorry. If something is suspicious, then it must be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, it''s unfair to both Eddie and Pansy!"


    Chigita wrinkled his brows and turned his head away, no longer speaking.


    Ye Zhizhou saw the reactions and spoke up, trying to ease the tension. "Maybe I was just mistaken, or maybe, Eddie identally used expired ingredients. Okay, okay, let''s rx. I wouldn''t have mentioned it if I had known about your experience."


    "No. It''spletely proper for you to bring it up right now. The cakes were made together, yet mine and Chigita''s had no problems while yours did." Anuot seemed to be particrly concerned about this kind of matter and seriously said, "If you want a friendship tost, then there must be no doubts at all. Since you discovered a problem, it''s best to get a clear conclusion." After he said this, Anuot took the cake from Ye Zhizhou and took charge of getting the cake tested.


    The three of them gathered in the living room after dinner, each busy with doing their own things. Chigita seemed a little absent-minded. "What is Eddie up to?"


    Anuot paused in the middle of dismantling his mecha model and answered, "It seems like he went to the main kitchen again."


    <span>Ye Zhizhou, who was currently cramming this world''s gic knowledge, raised his head when he heard this. He thought about something for a bit before taking out a game console and threw it to Chigita. "If you don''t want to read, then go y some games. There are quite a few interesting small games on this." ¡°


    Chigita took the game console, slowly turned it on, carelessly chose a game, and was then greatly started. He was full of energy as he became engrossed in the game. "What the fuck! These refined graphics! The level design! The creator must''ve been a genius!"


    His lover in thest world really was a genius at creating games¡­ He squinted as he smiled, lowered his head, and then focused his attention back on studying hard. Much of the knowledge in this world was identical to his own world, but the gender differentiation, that waspletely different. Before the make-up exam, he needs to rebuild his knowledge system.


    Half an hourter, Eddie came into the dorm with three bags of cookies. He handed one to everyone and said while smiling, "A little surprise. Let''s work hard at tomorrow''s training."


    Chigita''s hand slipped, and he failed to pass his game level. He took a look at the cookies in front of him but then suddenly leaned over and grabbed the bag that was given to Ye Zhizhou. He smiled at Eddie and said, "Pansy''s bag looks more delicious, I''ll eat his instead!" After saying that, he quickly opened the bag and stuffed a couple of cookies into his mouth.


    Anuot frowned while Eddie''s expression stiffened, and he hurriedly reached out to grab the bag from Chigita. "Don''t. The ones I made for Pansy are strawberry vored. You and Anuot don''t like strawberries right?"


    "I suddenly like strawberries again." Chigita stood up, using his height advantage to dodge Eddie''s hands, and deliberately shouted, "Eddie, we''re all friends. You can''t be partial. I want to eat strawberry vored cookies too!"


    "I''ll make some for you tomorrow so just give this bag to Pansy for now." Eddie thought that he was just ying around and helplessly smiled. "Why are you still acting like a child? Quickly, give me back the cookies."


    Chigita didn''t answer and simply continued to eat until he was held down by Anuot, who had leaned over.


    "Stop making a ruckus. You obviously don''t like strawberries." Anuot grabbed the bag of cookies from Chigita''s hands with a dark expression and threw it back to Ye Zhizhou. He turned to smile at Eddie. "Thank you for the cookies. It''s very considerate of you."


    Eddie felt relieved and hurriedly expressed that it was nothing.


    Eddie hadn''t noticed that Chigita, with his mouth full of cookies, had looked at him deeply before turning away to hide the sadness in his eyes.


    [The probability of Chigita and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 50%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou was stunned by the system notification that had suddenly popped up and turned to look at Chigita. He had thought that it would be the more rational Anuot whose love probability would go down first. In the end¡­


    The next day, Chigita looked a little lethargic. Ye Zhizhou silently moved forward to pat him and handed him a pill to eat. Chigita doubtfully ate it but then his eyes lit up. He reached out a hand, wanting more.


    ¡°No more.¡± Ye Zhizhou swatted his hand away, paused, and then asked, "That bag of cookies¡­ Do you want to have it tested?"


    When this was mentioned again, Chigita wilted. He listlessly said, "Give it to Anuot, he''ll arrange the testing."


    Ye Zhizhou nodded to show that he understood.


    Two dayster, y went back to the military headquarters. Ye Zhizhou was upied with training and couldn''t send him off; thus, he could only reluctantly use themunicator to send the other a few simple words of farewell.


    Eddie continued to deliver evening snacks to their dormitory. Chigita''s attitude gradually changed from pressing down his sadness and reluctantly epting the snacks to widely smiling and epting it as if nothing had happened. His love probability with the protagonist gradually decreased day by day, from 50% to 30%. There was no movement on Anuot''s side, but he clearly distanced himself from Eddie.


    A weekter, the test results came out. Anuot and Chigita silently sat on the sofa, both of them looking at Ye Zhizhou.


    ¡°What are you going to do?¡± Anuot took the lead to speak up with a very ugly expression.


    [The probability of Anuot and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 30%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    "Why would Eddie do this¡­?" Chigita could no longer deceive himself. He leaned back on the sofa with his head and shoulders drooping, looking very pitiful. "He actually added something into the snacks every day¡­ It was fate that everyone was assigned to this dormitory, and we clearly just met each other. We had no conflict with each other so why would he do this¡­?"


    Anuot wrapped an arm around Chigita''s shoulder andfortingly patted him. "Don''t try to understand how bad people think. It''s useless."


    Chigita turned his head to bury his face into Anuot''s shoulder, his entire body bing listless.


    [The probability of Chigita and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 10%, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    Ye Zhizhou put down the test results in his hand and thought for a moment before saying, "Let''s report this to the teacher. We''ll follow the school''s policy on what to do in this kind of situation." The protagonist definitely had a reason toe to the military academy, but Ye Zhizhou still hadn''t found a hint on what it could be. In this case, he might as well pull out the gs first. Giving drugs to ssmates was a pretty serious issue, so the protagonist might be expelled. If it really did end that way, it would be very easy to pull out the five gs in this school.


    ¡°You''re not going to confront him, to ask him why he would do this?" Chigita impatiently asked him as he raised his head.


    Ye Zhizhou shook his head. "It''s not necessary¡­ These drugs would only reduce my endurance and reaction speed. The worst oue would''ve been that I wouldn''t be able to finish the freshman training. And you both know what happens if I don''tplete the training. His purpose is obvious¡ªhe doesn''t want me to stay in the military academy. As for the motive¡­ Since this has already happened, there''s no point in pursuing the motive. Besides, are you sure that he would even tell the truth?"


    "Probably not," Anuot replied without a doubt. "I''m going to send a message to the dorm administrator." He immediately got up, more proactive than both Chigita or Ye Zhizhou. "You guys tell Eddie toe back."


    Chigita''s moved his mouth but said nothing. Ye Zhizhou took out hismunicator and sent Eddie a message.


    The dorm administrator arrived very quickly and Eddie also rapidly returned, holding a pizza in his hands. "Pansy, what did you need me for? My pizza had juste out of the oven¡­ Why are you here, Teacher Louis? Did you need to inform us of something?"


    Louis frowned as they looked at Eddie, and then moved forward to take the pizza from his hand. Louis said with a stern face, "Eddie, someone has reported that you''ve been drugging your ssmates. Come to the academic affairs office with me. I''ll also need to have this pizza tested, along with all of those other snacks." As Louis said this, they pointed to the pile of snacks on the coffee table behind them.


    When Eddie heard this, the smile on his face froze. He nced at the snacks on the coffee table and then at Ye Zhizhou, Chigita, and Anuot who were standing behind Louis; his expression became nk.


    "Eddie, is there anything you''d like to exin?" Louis had a good impression of this gifted double majoring student. When Louis had first received the report, they had just thought that someone was joking around. However, seeing that the coffee table was full of evidence, it was hard not to believe it.


    "Ah." The corners of Eddie''s lips pulled up into a sneer and he looked towards Ye Zhizhou and the twins, shaking his head. "What''s there to exin¡­ I treated them as friends, but they investigated and ndered me behind my back. Envy is terrible." He bowed his head as he said this, showing an appearance full of anger and disappointment.


    Seeing this, Louis hesitated again. They raised a hand to stop Chigita who looked like he wanted to speak, and then said with a dark expression, "All of you follow me to the academic affairs office. Your training will be canceled tomorrow. None of you are allowed to attend your regr sses until this matter is resolved!"


    The military academy''s testing equipment was much more advanced. Two hourster, a fresh test report was ced onto the director of academic affairs'' desk.


    ¡°Eddie.¡± The director put down the test report and asked with a heavy voice, "Why did you want to drug Pansy?"


    Eddie lowered his head and didn''t speak, passively resisting.


    The director knit their brows and then looked towards Ye Zhizhou, who was standing on the side. "The school will deal with this matter for you. It''s okay, go back to the dormitory and rest."


    Ye Zhizhou slightly frowned. He turned to nce at Eddie, who refused to speak up for himself after the matter was exposed and then turned away to walk out of the office. The protagonist''s reaction was totally beyond his expectation. Things went a little too smoothly, so he kept having the feeling that something was strange.


    Three dayster, the results of Eddie''s punishment came out¡ªexpelled from school, half a year of physicalbor, and never being allowed to work in the military and political departments for life.


    Chigita nestled on the sofa while looking at Eddie''s already empty room with a nk expression. "How did things suddenly develop into this¡­ Eddie just quietly left while we were away, without any exnation or justifications. Why¡­?"


    Anuot wordlessly rubbed his hair.


    [The probability of Chigita, Anuot, Ned, Chris, Dale, and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%, may the host persist in his efforts. The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth soul gs have been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    [Plot change has been detected. Asking Host to ept the new plot.]


    [The fourth and fifth soul gs have been restored. Targets have not changed. Asking host to please pay attention! Asking host to please pay attention!]


    Ye Zhizhou''s heart, which was just full of joy from pulling out all the gs, instantly shattered into dust. He couldn''t help but widen his eyes at the light screen, reading the notification over and over. He could understand that the gs had been restored, but what was this "targets have not changed?" Did it mean that the gs he just pulled out from Chris and Dale suddenly grew again? Then, didn''t he just pull them out for nothing?!<hr>

 Chapter 108

    Ye Zhizhou epted the new plot information with an ''about to fall apart'' mood and rapidly read through it.


    In the new plot, all traces of Eddie disappeared and the protagonist''s name was now Inez Gasken¡­ He wildly poked the system and asked, "Tongtian! How did the protagonist change to someone else?! I didn''t receive any prompts about the protagonist''s soul fluctuating!"


    [The system has given all the information.]


    He silently rubbed his face and went back to his room under the pretense of resting¡ª¡ªthis new plot was too intense. He was afraid that he wouldn''t be able to refrain from screaming in front of the twins.


    Inez Gasken was an omega pretending to be a beta. <span>Their spiritual power and constitution were both S-rank. They were a sophomore majoring in mecha manufacturing but due to their unstable spiritual power caused by their parents'' deaths, Inez took a year off from school. Aftering back, they transferred to themand department and became ssmates with Chris, the second prince. Afterwards, Inez joined the student union through Chris'' rmendation; with their excellent management ability, they also gained Dale''s appreciation and became the backup candidate for the next student union president.


    After the death of their parents, Inez''s life became very difficult. With the military academy''s approval, Inez began working at a mechaponent factory on the weekends. There, Inez coincidentally met Carol, the heir of the mechapany that they were working at. Later on, Master Brenda noticed Inez at their part-time job at the school and took a liking to them. Inez was epted as a disciple and thus picked up mecha manufacturing again¡­ They took part in the junior mecha exam and met the interster pirate Egbert¡­ While helping Egbert bandage his wounds, the Federation''s general Audrey broke in¡­


    Ye Zhizhou turned off the plot information and felt as if a stone was wedged in his heart¡ªit was a difficult pain to bear. This was a really simple and crude way of changing things, but why was it possible for this world''s protagonist to be reced?!


    [Scanning protagonist status¡­ No abnormalities. Scanning soul gs state¡­ No abnormalities.]


    "¡­" Nothing was unusual, so Eddie turned into Inez after being expelled from the military academy?! Both of them had intact life histories and information records. No matter how you looked at it, they couldn''t be the same person. It was not as if they were a shapeshifter and could be whoever they wanted to be¡­ What the fuck! A shapeshifter! He leaped straight off his chair in horror by the sudden spection in his mind.


    The protagonist¡¯s soul didn¡¯t fluctuate, and the soul gs didn''t change targets. It should''ve been Eddie''s harem but now it had be Inez''s harem¡­ The more he thought about it, the more horrified he became. He couldn''t endure it and ran to the bed, covering himself with the nkets. He trembled as he jabbed opened both Eddie''s and Inez''s information.


    Eddie was an orphan and a beta. When he was first tested as a child, his spiritual power was A-rank and his constitution was S-rank. When he was five years old, he entered a school arranged by the government. He had excellent grades and also a dull personality. At 18 years old, his spiritual power and constitution suddenly increased ranks, and thus, he was admitted to the Royal Military Academy. Before his spiritual power and constitution ranks increased, he had apanied the orphanage''s vice-president to another part of the country to receive a batch of donation materials.


    Inez, on the contrary, was a beta who grew up in a normal family. When their aptitude was first tested as a child, they had both A-rank spiritual power and A-rank constitution. Inez had average grades and a lively personality. At 18 years old, they were epted into the Royal Military Academy with barely passing grades and joined the mecha manufacturing department. A yearter, Inez¡¯s parents unexpectedly died in an ident, resulting in them suffering a huge blow. Inez¡¯s spiritual power sea nearly copsed, and as a result, they had to withdraw from the school to be admitted into the hospital to recover¡­ The chances of Inez¡¯s recovery weren¡¯t ideal at the time. On the day that Eddie left the Royal Military Academy, Inez¡¯s spiritual power and constitution rank both increased, and their condition rapidly improved. Afterwards, Inez eagerly applied to return to school. After returning to the school, Inez used their outstanding grades to transfer to themand department.


    This ovepping timing, the sudden increase in spiritual power and constitution rank, the change in personality, Inez''s grades bing excellent¡­ and the fact that the two people who were both betas were written as being omegas in the original plot¡­ Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help looking at the little mirror. "What exactly is this world''s protagonist¡­?"


    The little mirror vibrated. [The system has given all the information.]


    That was not a phrase he wanted to see at all! He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He took out the original plot information and read through it again. Previously, he couldn''t figure out why the destruction of the world involved the protagonist creating a harem, until now¡­ If what was hiding under Eddie''s skin was a Zerg''s soul, then the deaths of the alpha leads and the rapid destruction of the world could all be exined.


    The identities of the eight alpha leads included: the son of a marshal, a prince, a Federation general, an interster pirate leader with a strong firepower reserve, two future mecha manufacturing masters, the heir of a mecha manufacturingpany, and a military academy instructor who seemed to be ordinary, but was actually the right-hand person of the Empire¡¯s eldest prince, who was the leader of the Empire¡¯s secret forces¡ªall of them were important figures; if even one of these figures died, it would be disastrous. And unexpectedly, all of them died in a month.


    Turning to thest page of the plot information, Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help letting out a sigh. There were problems with regards to alpha leads'' deaths, there were problems with the mechas suddenly breaking down in the middle of the battle, and there was definitely a problem with Master Brendamitting suicide to ''take responsibility''! The first wave of Zergs was just to allow the protagonist to fully win the people''s love and to gain the alpha leads'' trust. The second wave of Zergs was the real attack¡­ The plot really didn''t deceive him. The world really was destroyed by <span>NP. It was the alpha leads who allowed the protagonist to influence the military department''s decisions. It was also the alpha leads who allowed the protagonist to quickly gain the trust of the high-leveled people of the Empire and the Federation. What was more was that the alpha leads were the ones who boosted the protagonist to the position of a savior, letting the people believe in the protagonist''s mecha. Without the harem, the Zerg protagonist''s n to kill humans wouldn''t have gone so smoothly!


    <span>Ye Zhizhou turned off the plot information and sat up after being dazed for a moment. He picked up hismunicator to send y a message, but ultimately, he got a notice that the number didn''t exist. Half a minuteter, Ned''s message arrived: His Highness is currently on a secret mission somunication is temporarily unavable. If the imperial consort needs anything, you cane to find me directly.


    What''s with this address of ''Imperial Consort''¡­ Ye Zhizhou thought about the top-grade Ningshen pill that he had mixed in with the Anshen pill and then went silent for a bit. He replied with a message: It''s nothing. Just continue taking your medicine.


    Ned: ?


    Pansy: Finish eating and go back to helping y with his work.


    Ned: ¡­ Yes.


    After dealing with Ned, he thought about it and then called Chris''municator.


    "Sister-inw!" The call was quickly connected, and Chris'' gentle smiling face appeared on the screen. "I heard that Eddie left the school today? Don''t feel bad, Sister-inw. The Empire won''t show any concern for someone with such a rotten heart! I''ll send someone to watch over the trial for the physicalbor. I''ll make sure that Eddie won''t dare to do anything bad in the future!"


    "I didn''t call you about that matter." Ye Zhizhou didn''t expect that Chris would pay attention to Eddie''s business. After a brief thanks, he went straight to the main point. "Can you investigate a student from the mecha manufacturing department named Inez Gasken? Did he withdraw from the schoolst year because his spiritual power became chaotic?"


    Chris'' gaze turned away from the call and looked towards the side. His fingers moved and he seemed to be checking something. After ten seconds, he looked back at the screen and said, "I can only tell you that there''s such a student in the school. I''m sorry, I can''t disclose any specific information. The military academy has a privacy protection policy for student information. Sister-inw, why did you suddenly ask about this student? Are they your friend?"


    Ye Zhizhou shooked his head and looked down as he thought about it, before deciding to tell the truth, "What I''m going to say next is just my spection, but what my roommate said was right¡ªnow that I have suspicions, it''s better to get concrete evidence." If this world''s protagonist really had some kind of "shapeshifting" ability, then, if he wanted toplete this task, just pulling out the soul gs wasn''t enough. If he got rid of the protagonist, another one could appear. If he pulled out a soul g, it could be restored. This world would definitely be destroyed if things continued to develop until the end. So for the task this time, he had to get to the root of the problem.


    Chris looked at him puzzledly. "What''s wrong? Was there another problem with Eddie''s case that still hadn''t been resolved?"


    "Chris." Ye Zhizhou earnestly looked at him and said, "I suspect that there''s a Zerg parasite within Eddie''s body. After he leaves the school, the Zerg parasite will most likely switch to Inez''s body and use their identity to return to the military academy. Also, I need to have a direct conversation with your brother. Have him contact me as soon as possible." In this world, only his lover would unconditionally trust him while not asking too many questions about how Ye Zhizhou knew about these things; he would even provide cover for him. In short, his lover''s big thigh came at the right time, otherwise, he would''ve never dared to directly tell others about just a hypothesis.


    "A Zerg parasite?!" The incredulity on Chris'' face was reced with astonishment, but then it quickly became a grave and serious expression. "Wait a moment, Sister-inw. I''ll go to the military department and use their encryptedmunication channel to contact my brother right now."


    [The probability of Chris and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fourth soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    The g was actually pulled out¡­ Ye Zhizhou blinked at the spot where the call screen had been and couldn''t help but throw some little red flowers at Chris in his heart¡ª¡ªHis lover''s little brother was seriously impressive!


    Half an hourter, y called and Ye Zhizhou promptly picked up. He was shocked speechless by the image of scattered Zerg limbs and remainspletely covering the ground behind the other.


    ¡°The rest of your training will be canceled. Dale will be by in a moment to pick you up and bring you out of the school. Ned will be there to protect you until I get back." y was dressed inbat attire. His hair was a bit disheveled, his clothes were covered in dust, his expression was cold and serious, and he still had a lingering murderous aura. "Also, write a detailed report of your findings for Ned. He''ll send it to me through an encrypted channel."


    Ye Zhizhou looked at him dimwittedly and then vigorously nodded his head¡ª¡ªHis lover looked so handsome when he was working hard!


    A smile shed in y''s eyes as he noticed Ye Zhizhou''s infatuated gaze and his expression became softer. "The butterfly disappeared yesterday¡­ Wait for me, I''lle back to you soon. Don''t be afraid."


    Ye Zhizhou continued to energetically nod his head and couldn''t help raising his hand to touch his lover''s face on themunication screen.


    ¡°Pansy.¡± y also lifted his hand and pressed on the screen, matching it to where Ye Zhizhou''s palm was. "The call has to be hung up now¡­ I miss you, Xiao Zhou."


    The indicator light on themunicator shed and the call screen disappeared with a click. Ye Zhizhou''s outstretched hand towards the sky couldn''t help clenching into a fist; he quickly suppressed the exmation that was about toe out of his mouth. What did his lover just call him? Xiao Zhou?! His lover¡­ he had some memories?


    15 minutester, Dale arrived at the dormitory building lobby. Ye Zhizhou casually packed up his things and used the excuse that his spiritual power sea suddenly became unstable, so he needed to leave the school to recuperate, to handle the twins'' questioning before rushing downstairs.


    ¡°Where are we going?¡±


    "Going to His Highness'' office in the military headquarters; it''s the safest ce." Dale pushed up their sses and set the hovercar to autopilot before handing Ye Zhizhou a document. "Sign this and then swear an oath."


    Ye Zhizhou epted the document. He flipped through it, saw that it was a confidentiality agreement, and immediately understood what Dale had meant. Ye Zhizhou signed the document without hesitation, and then, in ordance with the Empire''s military enlistment tradition, made a fist and swore an oath¡ªexpressing his loyalty to the Empire.


    ¡°Wee to the team.¡± Dale saluted him. After carefully storing Ye Zhizhou''s confidentiality agreement, they pulled out a few more documents and quickly said, "The Zerg-Human parasitism situation that you reported was very important. Three months ago, when His Highness recovered a that had been upied by Zerg, he found a secret underground research institute. Don''t look at me with such surprise; the Zergs aren''t just useless things that only know how to plunder. Some of their branches are actually very smart, but their intelligence is always destroyed by their predator instincts and thus doesn''t usually emerge."


    Ye Zhizhou quickly adjusted his expression and attentively listened.


    "Most of that research institute had been destroyed by some cunning Zergs, but the small amount of information that was left was enough for us to surmise that the Zerg were doing human experiments." Dale opened one of the documents and pointed at it. "His Highness attached great importance to this discovery and began to deeply investigate it, however, it seemed like that group of Zerg realized something. They suddenly concealed themselves and also learned to spread false data to misdirect His Highness to think in the wrong direction. I believe we would''ve been misled if you hadn''t brought up the idea of parasitism."


    Ye Zhizhou''s train of thought looped through his mind and he asked, "Are you suspecting that the Zerg''s human experiments are rted to the parasitism?"


    "The suspicion has already been confirmed." Dale pulled out a document from the bottom of the pile, opened it, and said with a solemn face, "Half an hour ago, we received a traffic ident report. Eddie died in a car ident after leaving the academy. Shortly after Eddie''s death, Inez Gasken''s spiritual power and constitution rank suddenly increased, and their unstable condition quickly improved. The most important point though, was that, before Eddie''s died, he visited the sanatorium that Inez resided at."


    "Died?" Ye Zhizhou couldn''t help showing a shocked expression again.


    "The scene of the ident was extremely gruesome, Eddie died on the spot." Dale showed Ye Zhizhou a picture of the bloody and mutted body. "Not to mention, Eddie''s body was a little strange. It was too badly mutted; it didn''t seem like it was hit by a car. We''re still waiting for the detailed autopsy report."


    Ye Zhizhou quickly nced at the picture and then looked away. He asked, "What are you guys going to do about Inez?"


    "It''s not optimal to startle the enemy at this time. We''ll mainly just observe Inez and keep them under surveince." Dale took the picture back and gave Ye Zhizhou a profound look. "Pansy, you''ve done the Empire a great service this time."


    Please don¡¯t say those words with such meaningful eyes¡­


    "I believe in His Highness'' judgment so I decided to trust you." Dale looked at the military headquarters building''s faint outline and said with a serious expression, "Pansy, please don''t betray His Highness'' trust."


    Ye Zhizhou turned to look at Dale with an earnest expression and resolutely said, "I won''t. I love y."


    [The probability of Dale and the protagonist falling in love has dropped to 0%. The fifth soul g has been pulled out. Congrattions to the host, may the host persist in his efforts.]


    The hovercar slowlynded in front of the military headquarters building''s door. Before they got off, Dale suddenly stretched out a hand to Ye Zhizhou and repeated, "Wee to the team."


    Ye Zhizhou paused, grasped Dale''s offered hand, and firmly shook it. He sincerely smiled at Dale. "Thank you." <hr>
