Arc 1. Stealing the Mom of the Protagonist
Chapter 1

Qingyun did not realize that he was a villain.

He was sitting upon a mountain in a wheelchair powered by lingshi, when he

suddenly felt a sharp pain assault his head, forcing him to start coughing. (T/N:
lingshi is a type of stone that provides some sort of energy. Cultivation stuff.)

One cough was followed by continuous coughing. At the bottom of the mountain,
millions of armed soldiers who were ready for battle watched Qingyun’s coughing
fit, yet no one dared to move.

“That old monster’s body cannot hold on any longer,” the leading man raised his
long sword to boost the troops’ morale. “Everyone! We must unite and kill him
today!”

Wenyan Qingyun (T/N: probably his full name, which is hella long) gave a light
laugh, the silk handkerchief that was in his hand and stained with golden blood
burned up silently, leaving not even a trace of dust behind.

“You are the hundredth one.”

This dull voice traveled into his ears, causing the leading man who held up his
sword to quiver with fear in his eyes.

Qing Yun was a villain, although he did not understand what a villain was before
yesterday.

Until yesterday, the Tao of Heaven watched the ninety-nine fatalistic sons (T/N:
aka. protagonists) die in his hands. Finally, it could not take it anymore and
forced Qingyun’s soul to leave the body, controlling him to reincarnate,
preparing world after world to dissipate his energy.

Qingyun was able to get some information due to the energy planted in his body
by the Tao of Heaven.

This time, the “son of destiny” was right. Qingyun really couldn’t hold on any
longer. Although he had a high cultivation level, he could not fight against the
Tao of Heaven at all.

But there’ll always be a way.

Qingyun stretched out his hand, conjured his sword spirit, and aimed. Without
warning, he attacked the leading man.

As soon as this attack broke out, the whole sky suddenly darkened.

Sure enough!

Qing Yun’s eyes glimmered with brilliance, he had been speculating about how
the Tao of Heaven would react if he destroyed himself with his soul and refused
to obey it.

The leading man at the bottom of the mountain just withstood Qingyun’s attack,
but the next attack came, one after another, fiercer each time.

Dark clouds slowly gathered on the top of Qingyun, they were as black as ink.
Qingyun acted as if he was in a frenzy, like a trapped animal struggling to death,
but within the depths of his eyes contained tranquility. His goal is not the
“protagonist” at the foot of the mountain, but the Tao of Heaven!

Finally, a thin black thunderbolt broke through the clouds and struck down in
Qingyun’s direction.

Qingyun’s eyes glistened and there was a faint smile on his lips.

In the blink of an eye, the thunder disappeared into the Qingyun Heavenly Spirit,
stirring him up from ** to the soul. (T/N: it was also ** in the original text)

The proud Tao of heaven will never allow an ant to resist it repeatedly. Since
Qingyun was unwilling to be controlled, he will be completely erased.

The black thunder circled around for some time to confirm that Qingyun was
eliminated, then slowly dissipated.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! I’ll take you to change your clothes.” The waiter with
the tray hastily apologized. He looked at the wine stains on the man’s delicate
custom suit and bit his lips uneasily.

“Suit… I’ll pay for the suit…”

“Huh? How are you going to compensate?

Nie Chenyuan looked at the “clumsy” waiter in front of him and raised his
eyebrows while speaking with an ambiguous tone.

“I… I… ” The waiter’s face was red with tension. “I can do, I will do anything!”
His words may have been out of place, but it has strong implications.

Nie Chenyuan gave a light laugh and leaned over to the waiter’s ear: “Then can
you…”

“Tell me who ordered you to come?”

His voice turned cold in an instant, and the waiter’s blush on his face had not
faded, before cold sweat starting dripped from his forehead.

Nie Chenyuan stood up straight and motioned to the two black-clothed

bodyguards behind him to take the man away.

He looked at the wine stains on his body and shrugged helplessly: “Yuhao’s
celebration banquet to be the leader of Guwu Assembly is today. It seems that I
am going to be rude.”

So he went upstairs to the lounge to clean himself up a bit.

When he held the door handle of the lounge, a faint smell of blood flowed out
from the room.

Nie Chenyuan smiled as the corner of his mouth went up. It seemed that there
was a small cat in the house.

A few sounds came from the other side of the corridor. Nie Chenyuan glanced
over and knitted his brows. At this moment, the lounge’s door suddenly opened
and he was brought in with hands locked on his throat.
“Patah” (T/N: not sure if it was the sound of the door closing…)

Blood dripped onto Nie Chenyuan’s hand, while he raised his head slightly with
the remaining strength of his neck, with his eyes drooping down slightly to see
who held him hostage.

This man is around a head shorter than him. From this point of view, we can
only see the man’s white nose which was even more pronounced against the red
bloodstains.

In the corridor.

“Yuhao, why did you suddenly change your clothes?”

The woman beside him asked softly, with a bit of vinegar in her voice (T/N: for
those new to Chinese novels, vinegar means jealousy). At such a banquet, it was
not a good omen for your male partner to change his clothes so suddenly.

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lin Yuhao stopped to tidy his tie, bowed
his head and kissed his partner’s forehead. “Don’t you think that this shirt
matches your dress better?”

As he said this, he looked at his left pinky with the corner of his eye, secretly
rubbing off the blood in the crack of his pinky.

“Where did Nie-ge go? I have to greet him first.” Lin Yuhao seemed to ask
carelessly and walked towards Nie Chenyuan’s lounge slowly. (T/N: “-ge” means
brother, as a form of seniority and good friendship. Could also use it to refer to a
person’s biological brother.)

“I heard he followed the waiter to the lounge.”

Hearing this, Lin Yuhao’s lips formed a scornful smile. He heard that Nie
Chenyuan, the heir of the Nie family, would wander around doing both men and
women. He didn’t believe that Nie Chenyuan would fall for it. However, he had to
witness the aftermath himself to feel reassured that it worked.

“Oh? Could it be that his body feels uncomfortable? Then we’ll have to go and
check up on him…”

Lin Yuhao’s voice was getting closer and closer.

The grip on Nie Chenyuan’s neck was also getting stronger and stronger.
Nevertheless, there was no panic evident on his face. Instead, Nie Chenyuan
bent his head near the ear of the teenager who was holding him: “What? You
afraid that he’ll find out?”

The place where his fingers clamped was on a particular spot, he could not shout
at all but only whisper with a soft voice.

Qingyun looked up and gave him a cold look.

It was Qingyun who held Nie Chenyuan hostage. He is not only the Qingyun of
this world, but also the Qingyun who was slaughtered by the Tao of Heaven.

God knows that at this time Qingyun was furious inside. He faked his death and
escaped from the confinement of heaven, fleeing into this small world. His soul
had entered a body that was filled with resentment which happened to die not
long ago but he couldn’t even have enough time to catch his breath before
detecting a trace of heaven’s energy. Exactly, it was on the body of Lin Yuhao
who is currently walking to the lounge.

It was simply leaving the dragon’s pond to enter the tiger’s den. (T/N: this
basically means that QY escaped from one bad situation to get into another one.)
In his experience of killing 99 “protagonists”, only the “protagonist” of the world
could give off such fluctuations, and the Tao of Heaven must be searching for
him through the eyes of Lin Yuhao at this moment.

If the Tao of Heaven finds him alive…

Qingyun gritted his teeth, the previous attack from the Tao of Heaven had
damaged most of his soul. If it happens again, then he will die for sure!

“Hm?” Nie Chenyuan observed Qingyun’s facial expression carefully, and the
more he looked, the more interested he felt, “Are you afraid of Lin Yuhao?”

With that, he turned his neck skillfully and broke free from Qingyun’s
confinement.

Qing Yun squinted at Nie Chenyuan carefully. It seems like he underestimated

this man.

Lin Yuhao’s footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the sense of oppression
brought by the Tao of Heaven was getting heavier and heavier.

The lounge was simple, with only a large wide sofa and a tea table in the middle.

Qingyun’s heart gave a jolt, raised his hand and tore off Nie Chenyuan’s tie, and
went to untie the buttons of his suit.

“Well, have you grown up yet?” (T/N: NCY was asking if QY’s over 18.)
Nie Chenyuan was tempted to laugh seeing Qingyun’s unhesitant movements
and glanced at the blue and white uniform on him.

Being seized a cute high school student who looked like a “good student”, Nie
Chenyun just couldn’t feel any hint of nervousness at all.

Qingyun gnashed his teeth in anger. At this point he, who had lived for
thousands of years, was also fu*king angry. (T/N: the original had said
“气的想骂娘” literally means: angry enough to scold his mother. Just another
weird Chinese curse phrase.)

This body that was compatible with Qingyun was really that of a high school
student, with the same name and was beaten to death by that very Lin Yuhao
outside in the corridors.

Qingyun was still Lin Yuhao’s half-brother, but Lin Yuhao’s mother was forced to
marry Qingyun’s father, who threatened to kill Lin Yuhao and his father if she did
not.

Lin Yuhao participated in the Guwu Conference this year due to the
recommendation by the Guwu Association. Naturally, he couldn’t help but reveal
the ploy from that year, which led to defeating Qingyun’s father: Qinghao Lin,
and taking Lin Mu away. He also won the position as the head of the Guwu
Association, which attracted praise from people in the Guwu circles.

And because of Lin Yuhao’s sly tactics, Qin Haolin had died. Today, Qingyun
showed up at his door and was secretly abandoned by Lin Yuhao, who destroyed
his Dantian and left him on a mountain to await death. (T/N: The dantian is
something similar to the core of your body, located in the center of your body.
You often see this word used in cultivation novels.)

With problems here and there, Qingyun could never escape going against the
“protagonist”.
“Shut up if you want to live!” Qingyun threw his memories to the back of his
mind. Avoiding the Tao of Heaven is what he should be worried about right now.

“Oh?” Nie Chenyuan looked at the hand fixated on his belt buckle with a smile in
his eyes.

Although it may seem like he was being causal, he had been assessing how
dangerous Qingyun is in secret. At a glance, it appeared to be a young adult,
with his soft eyebrows, but judging from his skills, he must not belittle him.

Lin Yuhao has somewhat of a good relationship with him. Should he remind him?

Qing Yun only paused for a second, then unfastened Nie Chenyuan’s belt, pulled
his collar, and they fell on the sofa together.

Nie Chenyuan has a very tall stature, just covering the thin body Qingyun
completely.

Nie Chenyuan looked at Qingyun’s bloodstains in surprise. “How are hurt like
this?”

Looking down again at the school emblem on Qingyun’s uniform, he raised his
eyebrows and said, “Xuancheng Middle School? You fought and ended up like
this and yet the school didn’t even care?

Qingyun was not in the mood to care about him. Right now, he is desperately
searching for the original owner’s memory inside his brain for information about
the world. He wants to find something to raise Lin Yuhao’s probability of
neglecting himself.
By avoiding Lin Yuhao this time, the Tao of Heaven will become less suspicious
and won’t always be attached to the protagonist. It is probably feeling very
skeptical of his death and is checking for his traces in every world.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Qingyun was in his current body, then he could’ve
easily avoided the quick inspection for the Tao of Heaven by disguising slightly.
However, Lin Yuhao would be surprised to see that he was still alive. At the
same time, the Tao of Heaven who is attached to Lin Yuhao will also be affected
and examine him more carefully.

So at this moment, as long as he avoids Lin Yuhao, he can avoid the Tao of
Heaven.

Eyes shifting to the tea table, Qing Yun saw the perfume left for the guests. Qing
Yun’s eyes brightened up and smashed the perfume bottle on the ground,
shattering it to pieces.

The strong fragrance instantly diffused, covering Qingyun’s bloody smell.

After doing this, Qingyun completely shrank into the sofa, his cold eyes staring
at Nie Chenyuan, silently threatening him.

Meanwhile, his cool fingers drilled down the hem of Nie Chenyuan’s shirt.

Due to Qingyun’s actions, Nie Chenyuan’s back muscles twitched. He looked

down, wanting to make a joke or two, but discovered that Qingyun’s finger was
pressing on his fifth thoracic vertebra.

In this position, if Qingyun placed a bit more pressure, then he would either die
or be disabled forever.

Nie Chenyuan completely restrained his smile and looked deep into Qingyun’s
eyes.
These eyes which were as clear as a spring also contained some madness within
them. Nie Chenyuan realized that this is not a simple threat, but a decision to
die together upon failure.
Chapter 2

“Did you hear the sound of something shattering?”

“Maybe their situation was too intense.” Lin Yuhao smiled plausibly and knocked
on the door of the lounge.

“Nie-ge, are you in there?”

“En.” Nie Chenyuan slowly bent down and approached Qingyun’s tender
immature face. (T/N: “En.” Means yes or is a sign of approval.)

Qingyun’s face remained unchanged as he stayed calm and composed. Seeing

this, Nie Chenyuan could not help but sigh as he admired and appreciated the
youth underneath him.

“Nie-ge?”

It was silent behind the door, but there was a faint sound of the door opening.
Nie Chenyuan rose slightly and facing in the direction of the door, he used a
hoarse voice to say: “Yuhao, you’ll spoil my moment if you come in at this time.”

Lin Yuhao couldn’t help but show a derisive smile after seeing two overlapping
figures on the sofa through the small gap when he opened the door. Easily
blinded by beauty. Leaving the Nie family in Nie Chenyuan’s hand would be no
good. It is better for him to use it.

He closed the door and took hold of his partner, and turned away. “I’m afraid
Nie-ge is busy at the moment. I’ll greet him later.”

The Tao of Heaven’s presence slowly drifts away until it dissipated.

However, Qingyun did not dare to relax and remained focused on Lin Yuhao’s
movements.

“Still haven’t touched enough?”

Nie Chenyuan whispered softly into Qingyun’s ear.

Qingyun returned to his senses in an instant and kicked Nie Chenyuan down
onto the sofa while heading to the bathroom.

Nie Chenyuan sat on the floor not knowing whether to laugh or cry, “Are you the
type to play and go? Crossing the bridge then burning it down?”

(T/N: he’s asking if QY just discarded him after taking advantage of him.)

The presence of the Tao of Heaven had completely withdrawn from this world.

Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief as he carelessly washed off his bloodstains

under the flowing water along with the place Nie Chenyuan just touched.

Being a cautious person by nature, Qingyun acted as if he had let down his
guard at the moment, but secretly scrutinized the man on the sofa.

“You are… Nie Chenyuan?” Qing Yun asked tentatively, enouncing the three
words “Nie Chenyuan” distinctly.

Nie Chenyuan looked at him in surprise. He gave him a light smile and said, “You
know me?”

Sure enough.
Before, when the Tao of Heaven tried to annihilate his soul, Qingyun forced
himself to devour some of the energy from the Tao of Heaven in order to fake
his death. After all, there was a difference between the energy that the Tao of
Heaven used to kill him and wound him. All this energy lead to Qingyun’s body
being destroyed.

However, Qingyun’s soul still contained the remaining power left by the Tao of
Heaven which impelled him to continuously reincarnate.

In addition, when the two energies collided and merged during a critical moment,
it reconstructed Qingyun’s soul, granting him special abilities.

It was only because of this that he was able to escape into this small world
without any obstacles. Moreover, Qingyun’s soul could also disregard the rules
laid down by the Tao of Heaven; allowing him to extract information about the
world’s plot and some of the characters.

Since Nie Chenyuan is the protagonist’s stepping stone in order for him to
improve, Qingyun was able to identify him.

But can he still leave? (T/N: leave, as in leaving this world.)

Qingyun stared at himself in the mirror and splashed a handful of icy cold water
on his face. He can leave, but he’ll need something. And he had a strong feeling
that this something had to do with the protagonist.

Nie Chenyuan seems to be very interested in Qingyun. Although Qingyun did not
pay attention to him, he guessed Qingyun’s identity.

“Knowing me indicates that you must be from the Guwu Association. You’re
already a high school student, yet you’re still afraid of Lin Yuhao.”
Wenyan Qingyun frowned and shook off the water droplets on his hand, the
protagonist? He was never afraid.

“You are from the Qing family.” Nie Chen Yuan finally realized who Qingyun was,
but he felt that there was something strange. “The Qing family had only one
descendent, Qin Haolin is dead and left behind a good-for-nothing son. So based
on this information, you shouldn’t belong to the Qing family.”

Qingyun laughed lightly, “Well I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I’m that ‘good-
for-nothing son’.”

Nie Chenyuan’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Due to his relationship with Lin Yuhao, he naturally knew about Qingyun.
Because the two were step-brothers, they were always being compared.

Lin Yuhao was naturally gifted. He is a kind and tenacious man who is
considered the favored son in the Guwu community. On the other hand, Qingyun
is like a harmless and cowardly sheep, without any useful abilities.

In Nie Chenyuan’s perspective, Lin Yuhao was already a strong and promising
person, while Qingyun was still living under the patronage of his family. Without
protection of Qing Haolin, he is powerless.

The reason why Qingyun had attracted people’s attention this time was due to
Lin Yuhao choosing the Qing family.

Nie Chenyuan’s eyes were glued onto Qingyun’s thin but upright figure and
slowly lit a cigarette for himself. He had always been interested in the strong,
never the weak. But he had never expected to judge a person wrongly.
“Click” (T/N: the sound of the lighter.)

The fire sprang up, and the scent of tobacco pervaded the room. Qingyun
subconsciously frowned.

Nie Chenyuan looked at Qingyun’s injuries and advised him. “You should not
avoid Yuhao. In the end, he’s still your brother. It’s better off following him than
surviving on your own. Moreover, your mother is in his hands.”

He said this believing that Qingyun’s injuries were caused by the fights he fought
in to make a living.

Qingyun sneered and with a look of sadness present in his eyes. “What’s wrong
huh? You want me to live in peace with my father’s enemy? Oh, but I’m afraid
that if I follow him, it won’t be long before I die as well.”

He looked down at his palm. The wound there was healing very quickly, now
barely visible. Qingyun’s soul is too strong, and although more than half of it
was damaged, it was enough to reform this body. These injuries are nothing now.

“There will be no accidents.” Lin Yuhao smiled with some malice as he was
speaking on the phone. “He was badly injured with a destroyed Dantian and was
even rolled down a mountain. How could he still be alive?” (T/N: I fixed the
information on chapter one. Yes he was actually thrown down a mountain.)

“Heart Cultivation method?” (T/N: it’s a type of cultivation that focuses on

strengthening your mentality.)

Hearing the inquiry of the voice on the other side of the phone, Lin Yuhao
frowned. After defeating Qing Haolin, he took his mother away. His mother had
brought over martial art methods and the Qing family’s assets, but only Qing
Haolin and Qingyun knew the Heart Cultivation method. Now that they’re both
dead, he obviously couldn’t find where the manual for that technique was
located.

“There’s no chance a second-generation spoiled kid like him has a good mindset.”
He sneered.

“If your mother knew that Qingyun’s death was caused by you…”

“That’s impossible.” Lin Yuhao’s smile remained unchanged, but his eyes slowly
turned cold. “I’m afraid that woman already knows. So what? Who would care
about Qingyun’s life and death except for his dead father?” (T/N: to clear this up,
it was also a bit confusing for me but I finally understood this. Lin Yuhao and
Qingyun have different fathers, but the same mother.)

Lin Yuhao smiled faintly at the desolate forest outside the villa, he’s afraid there
would be no bones left. (T/N: he’s being sarcastic. Saying that there might not
even be bones to bury and commend.) He hung up the phone and walked into
the hall.

The hall was full of voices, and all the famous people within the Guwu
community gave a warm welcoming to this martial arts genius. (T/N: on a side
note, guwu means ancient martial arts. I didn’t want to translate it because it
would’ve sounded weird so I left it is.)

Nie Chenyuan smiled helplessly at Qingyun and said, “I know you can’t accept
the misfortune that befell on your family, but Qing Haolin was indeed guilty for
what had happened in the past. Furthermore, his death had nothing to do with
Yuhao. Just arriving on the scene only to be kicked out. (T/N: NCY is saying that
QHL showed up to the last conference only to be shamed and denounced.)

“And Yuhao wouldn’t embarrass his own brother…”

“Bang!”
Qingyun kicked the tea table in front of Nie Chenyuan. The perfume bottles on
top shook and fell due to the sudden movement and they made a “cling” sound
when hitting the wooden floor. (T/N: I honestly don’t know how to make it
sound more reasonable. The raws said “嘎吱” sounds.)

“You don’t understand human speech, do you?”

Qingyun’s eyes were red. He bowed his head and approached Nie Chenyuan. His
breathing was chaotic as a result of being aggravated with anger. “He said that
it was my father’s mistake so it becomes my father’s mistake? My mother was
forced, yet the 18-year-old me didn’t know. Every one of you outsiders could
clearly see it. My father died in the hospital in less than a week before their duel.
And you’re telling me that he had nothing to do with it??? He such a
magnanimous human being that there would be no way in hell he would trouble
me. So these injuries on my body were made by myself?”

How come the protagonist is right, no matter what he says or does, and how
come he, the thousand-year-old villain who had been minding his own business,
couldn’t escape the everlasting amount of pots that fell onto him from the sky?
(T/N: this means that he’s always being blamed for no reason.)

Qingyun does not belong to heaven, (T/N: not a protagonist.) but a normal
person. He has never done anything unacceptable or immoral, so why is he
continuously subjected to the protagonist’s attack, one after another?

Those protagonists have everyone at their beck and call while having numerous
backers, yet he worked so hard only to end up being bedridden, like a rat in the
street that everyone wishes to kill, only to be used as their stepping stone. (T/N:
“过街老鼠” is a metaphor that means “When a rat runs across the street
everybody cries, “Kill it!” — a person hated by everyone.”)

Is it because that the Tao of Heaven defined him as a villain that he should
suffer in hell? (T/N: tbh, the author placed another weird Chinese curse word but
I couldn’t really translate it directly so I made it like that. QY is basically
questioning why his life is so f*cked up.)

Qing Yun’s eyes flashed with a trace of anger, it’s too bad it doesn’t matter if the
protagonist was appointed by the Tao of Heaven; if he wants to kill then he will
kill. On the contrary, he is a villain that has not been suppressed by the heavens
and even lived for thousands of years under the curse of the whole world! (T/N:
means that he survived for so long even though everyone wanted him dead.)

He won’t stop (T/N: the killings, I believe) even in this world. And whatever he
has to gain in order to leave this world won’t be in the protagonist’s hands now,
nor will it be in the future. But since it is right now, he’ll snatch it back.

Qingyun straightened up, releasing his hold on Nie Chenyuan’s collar and wiped
his hands with a paper towel on the table.

He laughed softly and spoke with a rude tone. It seemed like that outbreak of
grief and indignation was all an illusion.

“Nie Chenyuan, you have a blocked meridian and cannot live longer than five
years.”

“But I can fix it in response to paying off the debt I owe to you. What do you
think?” He raised his face and looked deeply into Nie Chenyuan’s eyes.

Nie Chenyuan also contributed to Qingyun’s previous outbreak, and a particular

feeling arose from his heart. But Qingyun’s following sentence gradually made
his face grow colder.

It was an open secret that his meridians are blocked. Over the past years, many
people have been plotting against the Nie family under this pretext. He didn’t
expect that this Qingyun, who interested him a lot, decided to do the same.
Nie Chenyuan released a breath of smoke to hide the disappointment in his eyes.
He thought that this child would have more interesting reasons to approach him.

“Who sent you here?”

His voice was dull and he looked down at the cigarette in his hand.

“Just compensation. I don’t like owing people things. It’s your choice.”

Qingyun seems to be unconcerned but in reality, he has no choice but to care.

He doesn’t know exactly what it is that he has to get in order to leave this world,
but it’s always right to oppose the protagonist.

What to steal first? He’ll rob the protagonist of his younger brother. (T/N: -didi
means younger brother. But in this context, it means LYH’s underling, aka. NCY.)

The Nie family became Lin Yuhao’s greatest help later on. Although Nie
Chenyuan was considered a disabled person in the world of martial arts, the Nie
family held the economic lifeline of the whole Guwu circle. In other words, if the
Nie family ceased to exist, then the families in the Guwu community would only
be left with their martial arts manuals and suffer in misery, so Lin Yuhao was
obligated to acknowledge Nie family.

Moreover, the most important part is the congenital Qi deposited in Nie

Chenyuan’s meridians. Lin Yuhao had absorbed Nie Chenyuan’s congenital Qi
when he was cleansing his meridians to reach the highest level of this world:
First Heaven (T/N: I honestly don’t know how to translate “先天” as a cultivation
base so if anyone knows, please do tell.)
Qingyun was curious to know how Lin Yuhao would go about if the Nie family
didn’t exist.

“You can go.” Nie Chenyuan’s voice was deep as he put out his cigarette. “I’m in
a good mood today so I won’t bother you.”

Qingyun’s eyes narrowed.

“Wait!” An old voice sounded from outside the lounge door.

Chapter 3

A gray-haired but spirited old man came in, followed by two black-clad
bodyguards.

“Grandpa?”

Nie Chenyuan frowned seeing the unexpected visitors and was slightly surprised.

“I heard that you were staying in the lounge for a long time and didn’t come out,
so I wanted to see if anything happened.”

Nie Songping walked to the sofa with crutches, ignoring Nie Chenyuan, and
stared hopefully at Qingyun instead. “Can this little brother elaborate a bit more
on the problems with Chenyuan’s meridian?” [T/N: something I didn’t point out-
Qingyun’s name in this world is Qing Yun, Qing being the surname and Yun
being his first name. I didn’t change it becuz I didn’t want to confuse anyone~]

Of course, he knows why his grandson drove all those people away. They’ve
inquired many famous doctors about Nie Chenyuan’s blocked meridians yet none
could help. But he was told that only a martial artist with a high cultivation base
is able to clear his grandson’s meridians.

There are two great realms in the Guwu world. The first realm is called Last
Heaven [T/N: once again, these cultivation names!!! (°ㅂ°╬)], and it’s separated
into 10 levels. The second realm is known as First Heaven with it being the most
powerful realm. There is a middle ground between the two realms called Central
Heaven which connects the two big realms.

However, there has not been a single person who has reached First Heaven in
the last one or two centuries, and only a few have attained Central Heaven.
Unfortunately, these people are too busy striving to break through to First
Heaven, so how could they be willing to waste energy to treat Nie Chenyuan?
Nie Songping’s hair became gray due to all his worrying for his grandson’s health.
He discovered that his Nie family had no way of attracting those who have
reached the Central Heaven.

The youth before him may have a cultivation level lower than Central Heaven,
but as an old man who has witnessed many things in life, he knew that this child
must’ve had a fortuitous encounter. Seeing that this kid had a way to cure this
half-dead grandson, he might as well try his luck. [T/N: the raws said:
“所以总要死马当活马医，问上一问。”. Which literally means, “a dead horse becomes
a horse doctor, let’s ask a bit.” This clearly makes no sense and I only managed
to figure it out with my mom’s help, although it wasn’t that off from my guess.
(⌒_⌒;)]

When the ‘big boss’ arrived, Qingyun tossed Nie Chenyuan aside and went up to
strike a deal with Nie Songping. The words he had said earlier were for Nie
Songping to hear when he was standing outside the door.

“I know that you wouldn’t believe me no matter what I say. But how would you
know without trying? What do you think?”

Nie Songping murmured a little. It was his grandson’s life on the line. So he
would naturally be more cautious than usual. “What method will you use?”

It really is “Don’t let loose the hawk until you see the hare.” [T/N: an expression
meaning that don’t reveal your trump card if you haven’t got them onboard. QY
is saying that he is close to making this deal possible.] Qingyun frowned and
said, “I have a prescription.”

Sure enough!

Nie Songping nodded his head and said to Qingyun, “It’s not safe here. Let’s talk
about the details in private at the Nie family’s house.”
The three secretly left the banquet and got into the car heading for Nie family’s
house.

During this period, Nie Chenyuan wanted to interrupt them various times but
was ignored by both Nie Songping and Qingyun. From a side view, he saw
Qingyun’s face with a haughty little chin. He could not help but find it both
frustrating and funny.

When they arrived at the Nie family’s home, Qingyun wasted no time and wrote
down the prescription so that people could get the ingredients and bathtub ready.

It is not rare to take a medicine bath in the world of Guwu, every family even
has their own collection of bathing prescriptions. He had some previous medical
knowledge and recalled the basic properties of certain ingredients.

Qingyun created this prescription by combining the various pharmacological

ideas from his original world.

After giving the prescription, Qingyun asked to take a bath and change his
clothes. First, because his mysophobia was so serious that he could not bear it.
And second, he wanted to give the Nie family time to study the prescription.

When Qingyun finished bathing, Nie Chenyuan had been sitting in the bathtub
with a helpless face and the heating device beneath the tub was on full power.

Qingyun scanned the room with Nie Songping and the row of bodyguards,
knowing that his prescription had been verified and protected.

He nodded to Nie Songping and said, “Let’s get started.”

The two people standing next to him raised their arms and poured a basket of
herbs into the bathtub.

“Let me do it.” Qingyun reached out to stop them and take over. He observed
the temperature of the water, slowly putting in the herbs one by one.

In his original world, Qingyun was physically handicapped and had been
seriously ill since childhood. This disease lasted for thousands of years, causing
him to become a great doctor. He is an expert in both medicine refinement and
in medical treatments.

“You can still do this?”

Nie Chenyuan endured the scorching heat emitted from the liquid and asked.

Qingyun didn’t want to talk to him at all as he placed the herbs into his bath in
silence. But he didn’t realize that his tender face was showing a serious but cute
expression.

Nie Chenyuan lightly gave a deep and pleasant laugh. This child was very
interesting. He didn’t disguise his displeasure at all and his face expressed it so
vividly.

Nie Songping asked people to record the time and species of medicinal herbs
Qingyun placed in the tub.

He obviously wouldn’t dare to put his grandson’s safety and security in

Qingyun’s hands. Although the young man had approached the Nie family with
unknown intentions, this prescription was still useful and can stay but Qingyun
can not. They can just kick him out after rewarding him with some money.

Qingyun saw the Nie family’s movements and smiled sarcastically.

Too bad Qingyun placed the herbs inside the tub based on its temperature, not
the time. This prescription was just a cover as well and it only contained some
very basic ingredients. It can only protect Nie Chenyuan’s meridians, not unclog
them.

He is the only one who could really save Nie Chenyuan.

After placing all the herbs in, Qingyun rolled up the sleeve of one arm and put
his hand into the medicine bath, five fingers pressed against Nie Chenyuan’s
back.

Seeing his actions, the bodyguards immediately surrounded him.

“What? You haven’t touched enough yet?” Nie Chenyuan laughed. But just when
he wanted to turn his head to see him, a strong and domineering force
unexpectedly penetrated into his body, directly opening his 10-year-old blocked
meridians.

“Young Master!” There was a cry of alarm.

The water in the tub was boiling and any of the water that splashed out of the
tub and evaporated right away. All these reactions were caused by Qingyun’s qi.
(T/N: I feel like qi makes more sense than energy so I left it as it is.)

The bodyguards that were about the restrain Qingyun were stopped by Nie
Songping’s trembling hand.

Such powerful inner qi…

Nie Songping could hardly hold up his trembling body with his crutches. He
looked at Qingyun like he was a monster.

“Xiao… No, Mr. Qing, y-you’ve already r-reached Central Heaven??” (T/N: Xiao is
a way to address those younger than you. You might’ve seen it used
romantically but NSP is obviously not doing that. I think he was about to call him
a child again before he changed his words to become more respectful.)

He stammered a few times before finally completing his sentence. Nie Songping
had lived for a long time and has seen many martial artists at the ninth and
tenth stage of Last Heaven but never had he seen such strong yet refined qi.

Only those old monsters who are currently on their deathbeds had reached
Central Heaven. If Nie Songping hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would’ve
never believed that the young man in front of him, who has just reached
adulthood, had attained such a high level of cultivation.

Is this the result of cultivating while still in your mother’s womb?

Qingyun retracted his hand and laughed silently.

Nie Songping felt like his world views collapsed as he held his chest feeling like
he was about to get a stroke.

But when he saw his grandson tear up due to the immense pain, Nie Songping
awoke from his daze and finally saw hope to save his grandson’s life before he
(NSP) would be buried.

On the other hand, the martial artist part of him felt indignant. How old was
Qingyun? About eighteen years old. An eighteen-year-old was at the level of
Central Heaven! Nie Songping couldn’t help but feel jealous and ashamed as an
old fogey who was half foot in the grave.
Lin Yuhao was less than 20 years old, and when he reached the seventh level of
Last Heaven, he was praised as a genius in the Guwu world. Then what was
Qingyun? A devil?

A devil! A devil was exactly who we needed! (E/N: Yes they needed a devil to
make a miracle.)

Nie Songping took a long time to calm down. He wiped the tears on his face and
felt delighted at heart. With Qingyun here, there was at least an 80% chance of
recovery for his grandson.

Pushing aside the bodyguard behind him, Nie Songping stood with his crutches
and looked at Qingyun with excitement. “We have been rude to you Mr. Qing. I
hope you will forgive me and join me for a talk in the library?”

Nie Songping made up his mind to Qingyun to keep in the Nie family no matter
what his purpose was.

Qingyun nodded his head and followed Nie Songping to his study. Just before he
left, he gave Nie Chenyuan a sly look.

This kid must’ve done it on purpose! (E/N: QY is a fox. Lol!)

Nie Chenyuan gritted his teeth. Putting so much qi into his body at once without
sparing any effort to protect his meridians, was he doing this just to teach him a
lesson and “repay” him for his previous frivolity?

He withstood the pain and lifted the corner of his mouth to form a wicked smile.
At the same time, his eyes became more unrestrained, sweeping over Qingyun
from top to bottom; and finally stayed on his ankles which were as white as jade,
wanting to lick them. He stared until his sight was blurred (T/N: by the water
vapor).

Had Qingyun really achieved Central Heaven?

Of course not. The original Qingyun was only at the third level of Last Heaven
before his dantian was destroyed later on. No matter how fast Qingyun’s soul
could transform his body, it was impossible to elevate him to Central Heaven
right away.

So he put forth prescriptions and did other things to delay time in order to raise
this body’s cultivation level. As long he reaches the seventh level of Last Heaven,
he can compress the qi and refine it to the quality of qi similar to those at the
Central Heaven.

When Nie Chenyuan woke up, there were only two bodyguards around him.

Now that his meridians have been opened up several times, it contained a gentle
force that flowed throughout them slowly, protecting them.

Feeling his body’s strength recovering, Nie Chenyuan shook his head and smiled
bitterly. He originally had an extremely powerful constitution and even reached
the tenth layer of Last Heaven. However, ten years ago a problem appeared with
the meridians. Not only were they blocked, but they also became very fragile.

His strong cultivation and fragile meridians disrupted the harmony within his
body, resulting in his condition worsening.

Unexpectedly, this kid Qingyun saved his life. Nie Chenyuan secretly sighed, it
seems like he really looked down on him every time.

“Qingyun?”
Lin Yuhao looked at Nie Chenyuan, who was playing billiards. His eyebrows were
wrinkled slightly, but he didn’t reveal anything in his tone. “Why are you asking
about him Nie-ge?”

His heart grew suspicious. Why was Nie Chenyuan asking about Qingyun? Which
part of Qingyun attracted Nie Chenyuan? His beauty?

“Nothing. Just a random thought.” Although it seemed like Nie Chenyuan said it
casually, he had a hidden smirk on his face as he stood up after scoring a ball.

Qingyun has been staying over at Nie family’s place recently because they
needed him to stay. Except, every time he saw Nie Chenyuan, his face would
have five big words plastered on it: “I hate you very much.”

Nie Chenyuan found it very funny and wanted to get to know him better, only to
be continuously rejected. So he resorted to asking Lin Yuhao, who was
considered to be Qingyun’s enemy.

“I don’t know much about him.” Lin Yuhao smiled and said, “I don’t know him
very well, but I know that he is hostile towards me and has reached the third
level of Last Heaven at this age. The rest… I’m not so sure about.”

Lin Yuhao sighed helplessly as if he was a good older brother who was worried
about his younger brother. But his eyes turned cold. Qingyun? This person won’t
exist in the future.

The third level of Last Heaven? Nie Chenyuan glanced at Lin Yuhao. It seems like
he wasn’t the only one who was deceived by that kid.
“Nie-ge, remember the waiter you saw at the last banquet? How about it? I
happen to know him.” Lin Yuhao’s face revealed a smile that men all understood
but secretly ridiculed him in his heart.

Nie Chenyuan is interested in Qingyun? Then he’ll use other people to grab his
attention. The two people had a fierce session last time in the lounge, so
shouldn’t he be more attractive than a Qingyun he’s never seen before?

When Lin Yuhao switched the topic to the waiter, Nie Chenyuan’s eyes began to
grow cold slowly until they became gloomy and dark. He knew that the waiter
was arranged by someone from the Guwu Association, but he didn’t think that it
would be Lin Yuhao who did.

While Lin Yuhao was still talking, the cell phone rang in his pocket, and his face
changed immediately after the call connected.

“Qingyun is at school? No way!” (E/N: Oh yes way! :P)

Chapter 4

The message from the other side of the phone surprised Lin Yuhao so much that
he forgot Nie Chenyuan was still next to him.

Hearing Lin Yuhao’s genuine exclamation, Nie Chenyuan frowned. Qingyun was
still a high school student. Wasn’t it normal to go back to school now? Why was
Lin Yuhao so astonished? What did he do to make sure that Qingyun didn’t
attend school?

“So these injuries on my body were self-inflicted?”

The image of Qingyun’s blazing red eyes while saying these words suddenly
appeared in Nie Chenyuan’s mind. He could not help but look profoundly at Lin
Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao unconsciously made a slip of the tongue. The more he schemed, the
deeper it became. Lin Yuhao knew that it would be worse if he explained his
circumstances.

Feeling a sense of relief, he continued to focus on the call. “The last time I saw
Xiao Yun, he was also heartbroken because of his father’s death. It’s good that
he’s reverted back to normal now.”

“You pay more attention to him at school.”

Seeming extremely concerned about Qingyun, Lin Yuhao repeatedly told the
person over the phone a few times, but Nie Chenyuan’s eyes were dark
throughout the phone call.

“Lin-ge, Aunt Lin is coming to see you at school today…”

On hearing this, Lin Yuhao’s eyes displayed a bit of grimness. He hung up with a
laugh, but anger surged throughout his body. How could Qingyun still be alive?
And coincidentally pick a time like this to go to school? Nie Chenyuan also
happened to ask about him today…

Lin Yuhao felt like something was off. He was not afraid of Mother Lin finding out
that he was the one who killed Qingyun. He was afraid of Qingyun spouting
nonsense after excitedly meeting Mother Lin in school.

After all, Lin Yuhao was also went to the same school. Qingyun’s words might
cause damage to his fake reputation.

“Nie-ge,” Lin Yuhao laughed embarrassingly, “My mother is going to see me at

school. It’s best that I go back before she finds out.”

Lin Yuhao was too old to attend high school. He had dropped out of school in the
past. Mother Lin found out and wanted to compensate him which led to him
being forced into a high school.

“Xuancheng Middle School, right? I graduated from that school too. I’ll go back
and visit.”

Nie Chenyuan kept a poker face as he straight up lied. He had long forgotten
which high school he went to. He was strictly going to because he was worried
about Qingyun.

Nie Chenyuan believes more than 80% of Qingyun’s words now that Lin Yuhao
exposed multiple clues. Even though Qingyun had a higher level of cultivation
than Lin Yuhao, he still had a vague fear of Lin Yuhao during banquet from
before. But how did Lin Yuhao injure him?

Nie Chenyuan thought about Qingyun; then looked at Lin Yuhao. And he
suddenly began to doubt his ability to judge people.
The person who was supposed to be weak and cowardly was actually powerful
and arrogant; the one who was supposed to be open and generous was in reality,
a poisonous snake spitting venom.

A low-key but luxurious Bentley parked at the school gate. The door slowly
opened and the luxuriously dressed Mother Lin got out.

“Just stop here.” She turned around and smiled at the driver in the car. “I am
only going in to check up on Yuhao. I’m afraid he’s hasn’t adapted to this new
environment since he’s only been at school for a few days. So please wait here
for a moment.” she told the driver in a soft voice.

Mother Lin always has a gentle and intimate smile on her face. Although she is
over forty years old, she is well-maintained. She has both the gentleness and
intellectuality of mature women and the vague innocence of teenage girls. Being
the madame of the Qing family for nearly twenty years also gave added an aura
of dignity to her.

This is obviously a woman who knows how to play her cards properly. (T/N:
Overall, mother Lin is a sly bit*h.) (E/N: Lol, I agree.)

Lin Yuhao is nearly 20 years old. (E/N: Holy… A 20 year old in high school…) He
dropped out of school after he graduated from junior high school. But Mother Lin
felt guilty about it and wanted to fix his student career so, she sent him to the
best school in the province.

Walking leisurely on the school path, Mother Lin reached out to catch a falling
leaf and smiled slightly.

She already knew that Lin Yuhao wasn’t interested in living a school life at all.
She also knew that Lin Yuhao probably wasn’t in school right now. Nonetheless,
she knew how to make Lin Yuhao happy. Therefore she will try her best to act
the way Lin Yuhao wants her to. (T/N: …) (E/N: Don’t do that… Just act how you
want to act.)
Letting the leaf fall, Mother Lin turned her head. But what she saw made her
eyes widen. The tender expression on her face had completely stiffened, forming
a distorted mask.

“How could you be here?!” (T/N: “I took the bus to school.” said sarcastic QY.)

Qingyun was also a little surprised. He was really interested in this world’s
advancing technology and was curious about their education system. So he
came to the school today to deal with the multiple absences he had but didn’t
expect to meet these people here.

Looking at Mother Lin who was almost rigid in her place, Lin Yuhao, who was
standing behind her with a gloomy expression, and Nie Chenyuan, who came
here somehow, Qingyun pulled the corners of his mouth up slightly.

“I go to school here too.” Qingyun glanced at Mother Lin and replied faintly.

Hearing this, two people’s faces behind Mother Lin changed slightly at the same
time. Lin Yuhao put on a helpless expression, but his eyes were a little more
gloomy. He quickly walked to Mother Lin.

Nie Chenyuan looked at Mother Lin thoughtfully. Has she not been in the Qing
family for nearly 20 years? How could she possibly not know that Qingyun also
went to this high school? Her reaction was exactly the same as Lin Yuhao’s as if
they were two peas in a pod.

Like two peas in a pod?

Nie Chenyuan’s pupils shrank, and he was shocked as he looked at Mother Lin
who was leaning on Lin Yuhao.
Lin Yuhao making a move on Qingyun, Nie Chenyuan can understand. But
Mother Lin acknowledged it? She was Qingyun’s biological mother for 18 years
yet she didn’t even bother to stop Lin Yuhao after knowing he tried to kill
Qingyun.

Just the thought of what Qingyun had experienced at the end sent chills down
Nie Chenyuan’s spine.

Qingyun was laughing. For what reason did Mother Lin ask him why he was here?
She was afraid that he’s still alive. This woman was obviously aware of the fact
that Qingyun had gone to see her a few days ago, but Lin Yuhao had stopped
him from going in order to kill him in ways only a murderer would know.

Lin Yuhao comes to hold up Mother Lin and looks at her with concern. Although
he doesn’t show it on his face, his heart was filled with hatred.

He believed he had beat that Qingyun till his last breath with death at his door,
but he didn’t expect that he would show up at school today. Classes have just
ended and the students are leaving the building. If Qingyun says anything
unnecessary, then his painstakingly made image would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuhao’s eyes became a bit fierce.

“Mother’s been feeling a bit restless lately. Seeing you made her afraid to recall
those unpleasant memories when she was still forced so, her mood may be
worse than usual.”

Mother Lin showed a haggard face, frowning weakly and leaning against Lin Yu’s
bosom. (T/N: … I have no words for their ambiguous relationship… )

“Forced?” Qingyun said with a sarcastic tone as he stepped closer to the mother
and son who were leaning together with sharp eyebrows and sharp words. “Then
my father was really foolish for forcing you to become the wife of the Qing family,
forcing you to be warmhearted towards him, forcing you to enjoy the rights of
being the wife of the Qing family’s head, and finally forcing you to take the
property of your deceased husband while you live in peace with the man who
killed him?”

Lin Yuhao was caught off guard when Qingyun mentioned that he had killed Qing
Haolin. Lin Yuhao was very cautious and secretive, even Qing Haolin who fought
against him did not find that his body was penetrated by him. So how did
Qingyun find out?

“Shut up!” Mother Lin opened her eyes wide and scolded him. A sense of
confusion arose in her heart, but she ignored it. “What relation it there with Qing
Haolin’s death and Yuhao? Xiao Yun, Yuhao is your brother, even if you curse me,
you can’t just randomly blame people.”

Mother Lin secretly gnashed her teeth. Qingyun was always so clever and
cowardly, when did he find the courage to speak up?

Surrounding them were classmates who had a good relationship with Lin Yuhao,
and they began to back him up. Nie Chenyuan was silently contemplating. In the
past, Mother Lin Mu was property married into the Qing family and the wedding
planner invited many well-known figures from the Guwu world to their wedding
banquet. It really did not look like a cover-up.

“Brother?” Qingyun tilted his head sideways, quietly looking at Mother Lin, his
reddish eyes did not hide his sharp appearance.

“Mom, back when he was going to kill me, did you tell him that I was his
brother?”

The teenager’s words had struck Nie Chenyuan’s heart.

Looking at Qingyun’s clear eyes, he suddenly felt as if he was standing on Lin

Yuhao’s side. He was embarrassed being stared down by Qingyun with his cold-
eyed attitude. Just when he wanted to go forward, he was completely frozen in
place by Qingyun’s piercing cold eyes.

Mother Lin was surprised, but she looked like she didn’t know what Qingyun was
talking about. She shook her head helplessly.

She covered her face and sighed, “Xiaoyun, your birth was a mistake.” (T/N: YO
THIS FATHERFU*KER. She literally said that.) (E/N: This woman will die a
horrible death :D)

Qingyun turned around and left without a pause. It seemed that his biological
mother’s words, which totally denied him, could no longer hurt him.

“It seems like we’ve been a joke to you.” Mother Lin turned to Nie Chenyuan
with a haggard smile and said, “Qingyun, this child’s attitude has always been
somewhat extreme. I didn’t think that he’d even say such a thing today.”

Lin Yuhao also smiled helplessly, but no matter how he hid it, the color of his
face was still dark.

“Oh? It’s all his fault?” Nie Chenyuan laughed sarcastically and without waiting
for an answer, he chased after Qingyun.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yuhao finally could not help but gnash his teeth in
anger. He spent so long trying to get the Nie family on his side yet, in the end,
he failed due to Qingyun’s two sentences.

Qingyun left the school grounds and sat in the car sent by the Nie family,
carefully searching for memories of the original Qingyun’s family. He did not
think that Mother Lin had been forced in the past, but that woman had a
scheming mind and it would not be easy to find any evidence.
“Change course, go to the Qing family’s old house.” Qing Yun said, looking up at
the driver.

Qingyun knew that Lin Yuhao couldn’t be overthrown in one day. The
protagonists supported by the Tao of Heaven still had some abilities. Being the
center focus, all the people around the protagonist seem to be blind, and the
protagonist was the boss.

What he said today planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of the people around
him. What Qing Yun wants is a complete reversal. Three years later, the next
Guwu Conference would be a good opportunity.

At that time, Qing Yun’s soul will have recovered and raise his body to the
highest level. The destroyed Dantian, the plundered property and martial arts,
everything. Qingyun will stand in the place that was once Lin Yuhao’s and repay
him, a thousand times more!

As for killing him? Qingyun would not do such a dumb thing that would trigger
the Tao of Heaven’s anger. He preferred to watch Lin Yuhao feel like he would
rather die than live than simply killing him.

It was a new experience for Nie Chenyuan to be in hot pursuit of his own
family’s car. To be precise, all he had experienced after meeting Qingyun were
very novel.

Thinking of this, Nie Chenyuan could not help laughing bitterly. I’m blind, I was
blind. I even appreciated Lin Yuhao before today. There is Mother Lin’s affair and
all kinds of obvious loopholes that have not been carefully considered, which
simply does not conform to his usual style of dealing with things.

Nie Chenyuan lit a cigarette and held it while waiting for the red light. From the
attitude of Mother Lin and Lin Yuhao, Nie Chenyuan can easily guess what
absurd and depressing things Qingyun had encountered before.
He could hardly imagine what kind of mood Qingyun was in when he hear his
own mother’s persecution, causing him to accept Lin Yuhao’s torture. If not, how
could Lin Yuhao, who was only at the seventh level of Last Heaven, cause harm
to the perfectly fine Qingyun who was at Central Heaven? (T/N: funny how he
still believes QY is at Central Heaven…) (E/N: when will QY be exposed >∇<)

No wonder why Qingyun was so angry at his words when they met for the first
time. What kind of Lin Yuhao was generous and what kind of biological mother
was there. These words simply stabbed a knife in Qingyun’s heart. (T/N: errr…
he’s saying like that type of person doesn’t exist. So that ‘kind’ LYH never
existed and that mother of his is just tra$h, garbage, all the above. Which is
NOT how a mother should be like.)

Nie Chenyuan couldn’t help but show a face full of shame. Yesterday, Qingyun
was still clearing his miderians. Today, he stood on the opposite side of Qingyun
to unravel his bloody wounds. (T/N: not literally. It means to put more salt on
his wounds. Hurt him more.)

The child had never really cared about himself, and now he’s probably even
more tired of doing so.

Suddenly, his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily. This was not the way back to the
Nie family’s house.

The Qing family’s old house? Qingyun unexpectedly returned to this place. The
car slowly approached, but the sight caused Nie Chenyuan’s heart to feel
clenched, completely disturbing his thoughts.

In front of them, the vast and empty old house of the Qing family kindled a fire,
and the sky was dyed grey by the billowing smoke. (E/N: Who set the house on
fire?!? I bet the blame would go on QY… But I hope that doesn’t happen…) (T/N:
Ms. Panda is raising flags… also if you guys hate the excessive commenting by
us, we will stop…)
Chapter 5

Nie Chenyuan went back to Nie’s house with a black grey head and went straight
upstairs through the living room.

The old housekeeper standing beside him looked at his trousers, which had been
burned with holes, and his shoes were stained with ashes. He reminded him
kindly, “Young Master, it’s better not to look for Mr. Qing in your current
appearance.”

Qingyun had a serious case of mysophobia. Seeing Nie Chenyuan like this, He
was afraid that he’d be kicked out without saying a word.

Nie Chenyuan paused for a moment, but couldn’t resist it, and walked up the
stairs in big steps.

Upstairs, Qingyun’s door was open.

Then a few bodyguards came out carrying several people.

The leading bodyguard saw Nie Chenyuan and immediately went over to him,
saying in his ear, “These men are very good, they’re all five-tier warriors of Last
Heaven. However, after Mr. Qing came in, they were handled by him before they
even made a move.”

Speaking of this, the bodyguard couldn’t help but display a hint of fanaticism in
his eyes.

In just a few moments, he defeated the siege of several fifth level Last Heaven
warriors. As expected of a person at the level of Central Heaven.

Nie Chenyuan’s face grew even darker. It was Nie family’s negligence that let
these people enter Qing Yun’s room.
“Who were they from?”

The bodyguard shook his head, “There were no marks on his body, even his
fingerprints have been removed. It seems that he is one of the Death Soldiers¹
in the family’s custody.”

A speculation arose in Nie Chenyuan’s heart. Who else would want to kill
Qingyun as badly as Lin Yuhao? Lin Yuhao seems to be in close contact with the
Guwu Association. The intruders were probably from them.

He nodded and walked to Qingyun’s room but was stunned when he walked
through the door.

It was obvious that Qingyun had just returned from going outside and was still
wearing his school uniform.

Yet the man was spotless from head to toe with only red blood dripping off his
hands, leaving no trace behind on those fair hands.

Pure and clean, but stained with blood.

Nie Chenyuan’s gulped twice, his adam’s apple slipped up and down each time.
He loosened his collar and went into the room. Indeed, he had been thinking too
much. Qingyun would never be too weak to bear Mother Lin’s words.

“Get out.”

The minute Qingyun saw his visage, he knitted his brows at once and curtly sent
off this guest.
A trace of helplessness appeared on his face. Nie Chenyuan didn’t care about his
coldness. He approached him and said, “The Qing family’s old house was on fire.
I thought you were in it.”

Qingyun frowned. The ownership of the Qing family’s old house was in Mother
Lin’s hands. It’s basically Lin Yuhao’s warehouse. Lin Yuhao was also quick and
sly. While burning down the old house, he sent a killer to deal with him. Even if
he can’t kill him, he will cause trouble to the Nie family.

He was afraid that he was saved by the Nie family before he escaped. So he
gave the Nie family some trouble to make them hate Qingyun.

Unfortunately, he has found what he was looking for. Glancing at the old-
fashioned videotape on the table, Qingyun stood up and walked into the
bathroom with a plain face, not paying attention to Nie Chenyuan’s words.

“I remember you going in that direction today though? ” mentioning this, Nie
Chenyuan unconsciously spoke in a soft tone.

“It’s none of your business.” It took less than a second before that cold voice
penetrated through the bathroom’s frosted glass door.

Nie Chenyuan took in a breath of air. He couldn’t help but feel that this man’s
whole body emitted a “stay-away-from-me” aura.

Thinking about the situation from this afternoon, Nie Chenyuan put on a wry
smile and opened the bathroom door with some urgency. He started to explain
to Qingyun, “I’m sorry, what happened today was my fault but Lin Yuhao and I
aren’t…”

The second half of his speech was stuck in his throat, unable to get out.
He was rooted on the spot, stunned to see Qingyun’s white shirt half off and
hanging loosely on his thin arm.

“Get. The. Hell. Out!”

Qingyun didn’t expect this man to suddenly break in. He glared at him while
gnashing his teeth, looking like a cat with its hair bristled.

“Sorry.” Nie Chenyuan felt as if he’s been burned and immediately looked away,
walked out, and closed the door. He thought that Qingyun was just washing his
hands. Unexpectedly…

With the sound of the water, the heat arose, adding a layer of water vapor cover
to the frosted glass.

Nie Chenyuan pulled at his hair slightly with an annoyed expression. The sound
of the water was like a pair of cat’s paws², scratching at his heart, making him
feel uneasy. Suddenly, he felt a bit restless and reached out to unbutton the top
two buttons of his shirt.

He’s taking a bath. You should leave.

No, no, I have to explain it to him clearly.

(T/N: I will italicize the character’s thoughts from now on, but it’s usually just
narrated and the author doesn’t italicize.)

Nie Chenyuan was at war with heaven and man in his heart. The soft light of the
bathroom in front of him and the startling glimpse of that image from before
kept flashing in his mind. He subconsciously reached for a cigarette but then, he
thought about Qingyun’s cleanliness and how he couldn’t tolerate the smell of
smoke and put it down.

As he listened to the sound of the water in the bathroom, he was walking around
like a trapped animal in front of the bathroom door. His dark footprints were
superimposed on the soft wool carpet again and again.

“Well, Qingyun… Today, I went to school because I was worried about you. It
was an accident that I was with Lin Yuhao…”

“Your relationship with Lin Yuhao does not affect the deal between me and the
Nie family leader.” Qingyun’s words were accompanied by the sound of the
water, interrupting Nie Chenyuan’s talking.

It would be weirder if he wasn’t influenced. Qingyun looked at his dark eyes in

the mirror. If Nie Chenyuan dared to run to become Lin Yuhao’s younger
brother³ again, then he will block his meridians like how he cleared them.

“Deal?” Nie Chenyuan did not understand.

“I will strengthen your meridians on the basis of healing your wounds. The Nie
family will provide me with resources for cultivation until the Guwu Conference
in three years. I will leave then.” Defeat Lin Yuhao in one stroke. Qingyun will
also get what he needs in order to leave this world.

“Leave? You’re leaving?” Nie Chenyuan’s heart trembled, and he could not help
but raise his voice. But then he realized that his words were ridiculous. It was
unnecessary for Qingyun to live in the Nie family’s house all the time with his
ability.

“It’s time you went out.” Qingyun saw his guest off again, and finally added, “Let
the housekeeper change the carpet in my room.”
Nie Chenyuan walked out the door, not knowing whether to smile or cry, with his
heart heavy due to Qingyun’s words.

After Nie Chenyuan left the room, Qingyun came out in his bathrobe. He raised
his eyebrows, looking at the footprints in front of the bathroom. He couldn’t help
but hum and laugh.

(T/N: I found it confusing that the author would change perspectives abruptly so
I’ll add asterisks to separate each perspective if necessary. Do tell if this is
unneeded, I will remove them.)

“So many people yet none survived?” Lin Yuhao frowned, it seemed like he had
underestimated the Nie family.

“Although the heir of the Nie family, Nie Chenyuan, has become trash, the old
family’s bottom line is still there and Nie Chenyuan was a genius ten years ago.”
Zhang Jingguo, the president of the Guwu Association, sat at the back of his
desk and held up his tea cup leisurely.

Suddenly, he was reminded of something and told Lin Yuhao, “That kid named
Qingyun signed up for the Guwu Conference.”

“How dare he sign up for the Guwu Conference?!” Lin Yuhao kicked over the
chair beside him while wearing a gloomy expression, and walked around the
room like a man-eating beast.

“He’s using Nie family’s back door⁴.” Zhang Jingguo added.

Lin Yuhao said angrily, “No wonder why that kid Nie Chenyuan asked me about
Qingyun today. All my hard work these days were wasted!”

“Qingyun’s dantian was completely ruined by you? Did he really become a waste
man?” Zhang Jingguo knitted his brows and suddenly questioned.

“I’m positive that he didn’t have a chance to survive. I guess he escaped death
when he encountered the Nie family. Even if when we meet today, his steps
were uneven and his cultivation was completely destroyed. ” He said this, but he
forgot that if cultivated to a certain extent, he could return back to his perfect
state.

Lin Yuhao finally sat down, his face gloomy, “Him having the courage to sign up
is good. This is just waiting for me to kill him!”

“No, you can’t kill him.” Zhang Jingguo shook his head at him, “after Qing Haolin,
if Qingyun dies after fighting you too then many people will grow suspicious of
you.”

“This waste, even if he attends the Guwu Conference, he is not good enough for
me. Forget it, you should just kick him out. Don’t let this kid make a mess and
speak nonsense at the conference.” A trace of impatience flashed through Lin
Yuhao’s eyes.

“Speaking of this, about your mother…” Zhang Jingguo put down his tea cup.

When talking about this topic, Lin Yuhao’s face sank slowly: “I said she was
forced so she was forced. There is no other possibility.”

***

Three years passed in a flash.

Nie Chenyuan closed the car door and walked into the house while on the phone.

After three years of treatment by Qingyun, Nie Chenyuan’s blocked meridians

were basically all unblocked, and Qingyun didn’t act like Lin Yuhao who had
absorbed his innate Qi in the original plot, so they accumulated and integrated
into Nie Chenyuan’s dantain to upgrade his already powerful body to a higher
level.⁵

The person he is now is not the same as the one he was three years ago. His
aura is more mellow and profound accompanied with some dangerous vibes.

“Have you arranged the seats? The environment should be quiet and the room
must be cleaned, make sure it’s spotless. “

Nie Chenyuan took his time to question everything one by one before he hung
up the phone, making the people at the other end of the phone confused.
Today’s Nie head seems to have changed sex.⁶

“Young master, the master asked you to go to the study.”

Nie Chenyuan nodded to show that he knew. He glanced at Qingyun’s room on

the second floor and turned to his study. Qingyun is probably at a University
meeting right now. If he runs over later, he might make it in time just as the
meeting ends.

“Grandpa, what did you call me for?”

Right when he opened the door of the study, Nie Chenyuan did not finish his last
word before Nie Songping threw a pile of shit⁷ in his face.
“Look at what the hell you’ve done!” Nie Songping was obviously so angry that
he nearly smashed his crutches.

When Nie Chenyuan saw what was thrown at him he immediately caught it in a
hurry. What came over was a stack of photos. Although Nie Chenyuan cautiously
grabbed all of them, one scattered on the ground in the end.

This photo is very delicate, made with a special process. The quality of the
picture is clear and not easy to damage. It perfectly presents the white and thin
ankle in the photo.

He painstakingly picked up the photo. Nie Chenyuan’s face was not embarrassed
at all when he was caught. Instead, he even had the nerve to ask him in a
displeased tone, “Grandpa, what were you doing in my room? And you even
touched my things without permission.”

These photos were taken by him when Qingyun wasn’t not paying attention.
Sometimes they were pictures of a white ankle, sometimes they were pictures of
his delicate clavicles on the open neckline.

Of course, the most precious thing for him is the round shoulder on the side he
secretly photographed when he changed clothes. When he photographed this
one, Qingyun found it. Nie Chenyuan racked his brains to come up with a way to
keep it.

For this reason, Nie Chenyuan also opened a hidden chamber in the room which
was filled with Qingyun’s photos.⁸

Each one shows the ** hidden by the photographer.⁹

Unfortunately, in the recent years, Qingyun has become more and more
sensitive to these types of electronic products. Nie Chenyuan has not been able
to get any photos for a long time. Therefore, each one of these existing photos
were precious in his eyes. How could he have the heart to let his grandfather
throw them so carelessly?
“If I didn’t feel like checking on our Nie disciples’ training, I wouldn’t have known
your dirty thoughts, you little bastard!” Nie Songping was absolutely infuriated
by his grandson’s upright attitude.

In the Guwu world, each first-class family will train some disciples to inherit their
martial arts and consolidate their position in the Guwu world. The head of Nie’s
family is Nie Songping, but in fact, Nie Chenyuan is the one who deals with this
business, so the secret road to the training ground is opened in Nie Chenyuan’s
room.

As a result, in order to hide these photos, Nie Chenyuan moved the secret paths
under his bed somewhere else. So today, Nie Songping couldn’t find the
entrance to the training ground!

Notes

¹ T/N: he means that they were disposed of by the family/power who targeted
Qingyun. You can kinda imagine them as kamikazes from World War 2.

² T/N: The cat’s paw thing… just take it as if he was having a *ba-thump* *ba-
thump* moment.

³ T/N: I think you guys know this by now, not biological brother. It’s like an
underling.
⁴ T/N: you know how people get in through the ‘back door’ in various industries,
yeah this means the same.

⁵ T/N: some words were ** in the raws for I have no idea what reason, so I just
replaced them with appropriate words based on the context.

⁶ T/N: changed sex as in: womanishly fussy; garrulous, and head refers to his
position in the Nie family.

⁷ T/N: it wasn’t shit in the original text but it indicated a curse and how mad he
was.

⁸ E/N: So many photos… NCY’s strong love for QY!

⁹ T/N: lustful feeling?? I’m not sure. It’s something sensual for sure tho.
Chapter 6

“Mr. Qing is kind to our Nie family, more like your benefactor. How can you treat
him… ” Nie Songping was still an old-fashioned man. When he saw these photos,
he even had the heart to strangle Nie Chenyuan. He knew his bear grandson¹,
but he didn’t expect him to be this bear to this extent.

“I know that.” Nie Chenyuan said positively, “so I’m seriously pursuing him.
Grandpa, don’t make trouble.”

“Pursue?” Nie Songping was stunned. He found that Nie Chenyuan had already
run out with the photo in his hand.

Nie Chenyuan went back to his room and couldn’t help pecking and kissing the
white ankle on the photo twice before putting the photo in the darkroom.

As Nie Chenyuan said to Nie Songping, he has been pursuing Qingyun for two
years.

In these three years, he watched Qingyun’s blossom into brilliance, which

naturally excited him. Of everyone in the Nie family, other than his grandfather,
everyone knows².

No, there’s another one.

Nie Chenyuan’s hand which was sorting out the photos paused, a trace of
distress flashed in his eyes, and the person he’s pursuing doesn’t seem to know
as well.

***

In the classroom.
People’s backs blocked Nie Chenyuan from being seen as he extended his arm,
Qingyun chuckled, “What, what thing is it this time?”

Nie Chenyuan moved his arm in front of him, opened his palm and inside laid a
mini robot, which looked exquisite. Qingyun is more interested in mechanical
things recently.

He has to take what he likes.

“You’re not paying attention in class or you’re just distracting me?”

Nie Chenyuan sits beside Qingyun, and the two sit in the last row of the
classroom, so no one pays attention to their interaction.

Qingyun plays with the robot in his hand, but his eyes are on Nie Chenyuan. He
has lived for thousands of years, but he’s not stupid. How could he not know
what’s on Nie Chenyuan’s mind? However, in the end, Qingyun felt a little
surprised. He just wanted to rob the leading role of a younger brother, but the
effect was different from what he had thought?

Nie Chenyuan not only helped him stop Lin Yuhao’s successive assassinations in
the past three years but also changed his ways to please him. Anything that can
make your eyes stop for more than a second will appear on your desk in less
than the next day.

It’s really a new experience for Qingyun, who used to be an old monster hated
by everyone, to be loved by someone so dearly and preciously.

After class, the bell rang. This is the last class so everyone left the classroom.
Two people mingled in the crowd and walked slowly.
Nie Chenyuan reached for Qingyun and separated him from the crowd around
him.

“Let’s go out for dinner tonight? Last time I went to a shop, I think it should be
more in line with your taste.” He lowered his voice to cover up the too obvious
expectation in his tone.

“Just eating?” Qingyun looked up at him. His eyebrow rose as he spoke. The
plausibility in his words was like a cat’s claws, scratching at Nie Chenyuan’s
heart.

“If you want to, we can go see a movie if you want.” Nie Chenyuan felt thirsty
and his mouth felt so parched that he almost wanted to hold Qingyun’s face and
bend down to kiss it, kissing him until his breath becomes unsteady and his eyes
swell up with tears to punish him for being naughty.

Often times, one or two of Qingyun’s words can stir him up, but Nie Chenyuan
can’t figure out whether he’s deliberately or unintentionally teasing him for fun,
making his mind unstable.

“What a coincidence.”

A voice interposed, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

Qingyun looks up and in front of him is Lin Yuhao, who he hasn’t seen him for
two or three years. He looks at Qingyun, with eyes full of clear malice.

In recent years, he has tried his best to kill Qingyun. However, Qingyun, this
trash³, seems to have gone through some great fortune. He managed to get
away every time.
Lin Yuhao can’t think of the extent to which Qingyun’s cultivation has reached
now. He believes that the Nie family is very close to him. With Nie Chenyuan
around, Lin Yuhao’s people wouldn’t even catch a glimpse of Qingyun.

Not knowing what came to his mind, Lin Yuhao a trace of contentment suddenly
flashed in his eyes.

Qingyun raised his eyebrows. At first, he was puzzled, but when he saw the girl
pouncing towards Lin Yuhao, he immediately understood.

The girl with sassy looks seems to be a martial artist. She seems very happy to
see Lin Yuhao. However, when she turned around and saw Qingyun, she was
slightly shocked. “Qingyun? Why are you here?”⁴

Qingyun almost forgot this woman, Wang Miaoyun, the girl in Lin Yuhao’s arms.
She is the niece of Qing Haolin’s fellow junior apprentice⁵. Taking advantage of
the fact that they were still young, the two families engaged the two children. In
the beginning, they almost even got the same name. But Wang Miaoyun always
looked down on Qingyun. Later, she fell in love with Lin Yuhao at first sight and
became one of the many women around him.

Now she’s Lin Yuhao’s tool to fight against Qingyun.

“Miaomiao.” Lin Yuhao soothed Wang Miaoyun in a soft voice, turned his head
and said to Qingyun with a smile, “I heard that Miaoyun was your fiancée before?
Oh, I’m really sorry. Miaomiao and I agreed to be together. Both our families
agreed to it as well.”

“Hao-gege! What do you mean? What relation did I ever have with him? ” Wang
Miaoyun’s stomped her foot, eyes glaring at Qingyun.

Qingyun suddenly chuckled and stared at Lin Yuhao as if he were looking at a

clown. “Your skill of robbing women is definitely ranked first above all.”
First the mother, then the fiancée.

Lin Yuhao, who was stabbed by this phrase, couldn’t maintain the expression on
his face anymore. Wang Miaoyun directly blew up⁶.

Completely ignoring the their short confrontation, Nie Chenyuan’s face was
gloomy, his head now only had three big words “fi-an-cée”!

What makes this woman worthy of being Qingyun’s fiancée?

Being stared at by Nie Chenyuan’s extremely fierce eyes, Wang Miaoyun felt that
she was staring at a man-eating beast and she could not help but shrink back.

Lin Yuhao wanted to kill Qingyun on the spot, but he was afraid of Nie Chenyuan,
who was on the scene, so he didn’t do anything.

Nie Chenyuan really surprised him. He thought he was just a waste playboy. But
in the past three years, he had made many hidden moves. From the fifth to the
seventh level of Last Heaven, all the fighters were blocked by Nie Chenyuan.
Even someone of the eighth level doesn’t succeed.

There were many people around. The confrontation between the two sides had
no result. When Lin Yuhao left, he whispered maliciously into Qingyun’s ear, “I
have prepared a gift for you today.”

When evening arrived, Qingyun received what Lin Yuhao called a gift.

The list of participants in the Guwu Conference is out and Qingyun was not on
the list.
It’s obvious that the people of the Guwu Association had planned this
beforehand. After the release of the list of participants, the Guwu Conference will
start in less than a month. There was no other way in. Hearing this piece of
news, Qingyun was not surprised. The whole Guwu Association was standing on
Lin Yuhao’s side. It was nothing for him to kick someone out based on his
reputation.

However, Nie Chenyuan’s face was unexpectedly gloomy. It wasn’t because of

the unreceived quota, but because the news, like thunder, woke Nie Chenyuan
up.

Qingyun was going to leave soon.

After three years passed in a flash, Nie Chenyuan was completely used to
Qingyun’s existence.

Qingyun had a habit of cleanliness, and he can be grumpy at times. Although he

is strong enough to intoxicate him, sometimes he will show some fragility that
can stir up people’s hearts.

All this made Nie Chenyuan sink slowly. He never thought about it or wanted to
think that Qingyun would leave one day.

But sooner or later, the deal between the Nie family and him will come to an end.
With Qingyun’s ability, he will surely get the quota for the Guwu Conference and
shine brightly at the conference.

When the time arrives, Lin Yuhao’s plot will be revealed, and everyone will see
Qingyun’s good parts. What about the fiancee who popped up today? Will she be
fascinated by Qingyun? Will Qingyun accept her again due to their relationship in
the past?

At the thought of this, Nie Chenyuan felt his heart burning in a pit of fire.
“Let’s start. Today’s medicine bath.”

Nie Chenyuan sighed, took off his clothes and entered the prepared bathtub. His
meridians have been completely cleared out, and it was not necessary for
Qingyun to use his qi. But in order to consolidate, the daily medicine bath will
continue.

Qingyun threw medicine into the tub and looked at Nie Chenyuan, who was
sitting in the bath without saying a word, wearing a gloomy face with tense
muscles, he couldn’t help but laugh. Naturally, he knew what Nie Chenyuan was
thinking about, so he felt his heart soften because of his care.

“You will attend the Guwu Conference for me.” All lineages of any ancient martial
arts family can directly participate in the Guwu Conference.

If the Qing family had not been disqualified because of the Qing Haolin affair,
Qingyun would not have bothered to sign up and get kicked out.

“Huh?” Nie Chenyuan looked at Qingyun with a hint of surprise. He was still in a
bad mood. He forced a smile and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll lose to Lin
Yuhao? He’s reached the ninth level of Last Heaven.”

“You have reached Central Heaven, haven’t you?” Qingyun said carelessly. Nie
Chenyuan has an issue with acting like a pig to eat the tiger⁸. In these past few
years, his meridians have recovered and improved, but he remained a low
profile. If it wasn’t for Qingyun’s everyday treatment, this secret would’ve been
completely concealed by him.

“You do know.” Nie Chenyuan leaned on the bathtub, laughing deeply and
joyfully, and his eyes overflowed with infatuation and sighed. He was good at
camouflaging ever since he was a child. His real accomplishments were invisible
to his grandfather, Nie Songping, yet he couldn’t hide them from Qingyun.
He looked at Qingyun with loving emotions that never existed before until now.

“So, what can I worry about?” After adding the last medicine, Qingyun turns to
leave.

The noise of water bursting sounded behind him, and a hot body with the smell
of liquid medicine tightly attached to his back. A pair of strong arms held him
tightly like iron hoops.

“But I won’t!”

Nie Chenyuan bowed his head to Qingyun’s ear, and his eyebrows were full of
irrepressible possessiveness⁹, “After the end of the Guwu Conference, you will
leave, so I won’t agree.”

He would rather Qingyun never attend the Guwu Conference, and stay at the Nie
family’s house and beside him forever!

Not bad, he could even threaten him.

Qingyun happily hooked up the corners of his mouth, but his voice was plain.
“Oh, what do you want?”

The arms holding his body tightened.

Not waiting for Nie Chenyuan’s reaction, Qingyun immediately broke away from
the shackles that were holding his body, and forcefully presses Nie Chenyuan
back to the bathtub, bows his head and kisses him.
Nie Chenyuan was stunned for a moment. He was like a drowning man grasping
the straw¹⁰ and sucked on Qingyun’s lips. He attacked and seized the territory
within his mouth to express his abundant love and joy.

Their kiss was like a fierce battle. Continuously entangling their tongues between
their lips and sucking.

At the end of the kiss, all the water in the tub had been sprinkled everywhere.

Qingyun raised his head, lifting his red eyes and asked, “How about these
rewards? Enough?”

Nie Chenyuan smiled and pecked his lips twice, “Not enough, not enough. I’m
greedy. I want more.”¹¹

“Hm, want more? It depends on your ability… ” Qingyun’s provocative words

were gradually replaced by a gasp.

Chapter 7

It was barely bright outside.

Qingyun was awakened by some movements near his body. Nie Chenyuan’s
hairy head was right by the side of his neck. His hot breath blew at the root of
his ear.

“Baby? You awake?”

He closed his eyes and snorted. When he was with Nie Chenyuan, this guy loved
some sports to the point of outrage. Day after day, **¹ was a little bit too strong
for Qingyun.

He yawned, reached over for his cell phone at the head of the bed and looked at
the time.

It’s only five o’clock.

He shut his eyes tightly², he had only slept for less than two hours! Qingyun
finally couldn’t bear it. He kicked Nie Chenyuan out of bed.

With a “thump”, Nie Chenyuan pulled the quilt as he fell on the floor with an
ignorant face, “What’s wrong, my love?”

“Scram.” Looking at the deep and shallow traces on his body, Qingyun gnashed
his teeth while grinning, “From today till the end of the Guwu Conference,
scram³ back to your room!”

Having said that, he swung a pillow and aimed for Nie Chenyuan’s extremely
vigorous part. Nie Chenyuan was hit and gave a stifled hum. The pillow was soft
alright, but Qingyun’s strength was no joke.
But he did not care about anything else. He got up grabbing the bed sheet and
asked, “My love, stop joking. There’s still more than a week from now till the
Guwu Conference. You let me…”

Bang, the door slammed shut in front of Nie Chenyuan.

That night, everyone living in the Nie house could hear the young master’s cries,
“Qingyun! My love, Babe, let’s talk about it… “

Nie Chenyuan looked towards the stars and moon as the day of the Guwu
Conference arrived.

***

In a luxurious private room, the heads of several aristocratic families have

arrived and were exchanging greetings upfront but in fact, they were secretly
planning for themselves. These crafty old men usually look down upon each
other, but now their minds were focused on the same thing.

The “wasted” heir of the Nie family with blocked channels had unexpectedly
attended the Guwu Conference? He has a brain disease (T/N: aka. loose screw in
his head). The old guy who protects this calf, Nie Songping, even allowed him to
die?

The hearts of several people tightened and their lungs felt itchy. On the surface,
the Guwu Conference was for young people from the Guwu circles to compete
and exchange martial arts. But in reality, it was to show off each families’ sphere
of influence. In addition to the previous wins and Lin Yuhao, the people of the
Guwu Association have won first place five times in a row.

Since Nie Chenyuan’s meridians went wrong ten years ago, the focus of the Nie
family has extended beyond the Guwu boundary. Although the Guwu Conference
allowed their disciples to participate in it every year, it was just a show of
appreciation.

But how will they deal with it this year?

Several people looked at the only empty space and secretly clenched their teeth.
Nie Songping, this guy, probably guessed how they were feeling and purposely
did not appear, even at this time.

Speak of the devil and he will come, Nie Songping just happened to come in at
this moment. Although his body was not as good, as he was on crutches, it was
obvious that he was in high spirits today.

“Old brother Nie is late this time!” Zhang Jingguo, chairman of the ancient
martial arts association, greeted Nie Songping with a smile. This time, Nie
Chenyuan’s participation was beyond his expectations, but he was still confident
in Lin Yuhao’s strength, which was at the ninth level of Last Heaven.

Nie Songping ignored him and only when he was seated firmly in his seat did he
raise his eyelids. He said crudely, “according to your generation, you have to call
me Sheng-dà yé.”⁴

Zhang Jingguo’s face stiffened as soon as he heard this.

The old rascals around him felt pressured and cold. Old Nie was right. Zhang
Jingguo, in his position as the president of the Guwu Association, was on equal
footing with them. But if he doesn’t think about his own generation, he can only
be equal to their sons.

However, in recent years, the Guwu Association has been gaining momentum
along with the emergence of Lin Yuhao who was a great seedling⁵. Some of
them did not dare to stand up to them.
Nie Songping poured himself a cup of tea and slowly drank it. Although he was
not afraid of Zhang Jingguo before, he wanted to save him some face. But today,
he was obviously going to fight Lin Yuhao, why is he holding back? Fight
however you wish.

“Old Nie, how are your grandson’s meridian? How is he able to compete this
time?” Some people were straight forward and couldn’t help asking.

“Children and grandchildren have their own blessings.” Nie Songping said as he
shook his head. He did not want to manage Nie Chenyuan’s reputation.

These old foxes were very clear-minded. Nie Songping treasured Nie Chenyuan
very dearly as he was his only grandson. Now, he doesn’t seem to care about
him. This clearly shows them that Nie Chenyuan’s meridians have already
recovered.

Zhang Jingguo secretly frowned. He has been planned to offer Lin Yuhao to
repair Nie Chenyuan’s meridians and make him owe him big time. Based on his
understanding of Nie Songping, if he can cure Nie Chenyuan’s meridians, Nie
Songping was even willing to surrender the Nie family.

“Impossible! I’ve seen your grandson’s meridians. It’s impossible to clear them
unless there’s a warrior at Central Heaven who controls his energy and
continuously treats him every day.” This person kept talking and talking until he
suddenly came to a stop to see Nie Songping’s eyes reveal some disbelief, “No
way, is he a He Lao….”

At the mention of He Lao, Zhang Jingguo’s eyes flashed a little color.

He Lao is a small group of people who have achieved Central Heaven but are
also very young and most likely to step into First Heaven.

According to the original plot of the world, He Lao took a fancy to Lin Yuhao’s
abilities, and instead of becoming everlasting friends, they taught Lin Yuhao all
their martial arts sequences. In addition to the inborn Qi from Nie Chenyuan’s
meridians, Lin Yuhao smoothly reached First Heaven.

Lin Yuhao has already attracted the attention of He Lao by now and Zhang
Jingguo also knew that He Lao will come to watch the Guwu Conference just for
Lin Yuhao this time.

Hearing them mention the name “He Lao” one by one in amazement, Nie
Songping felt his lips twitching. Although the He Lao were all at Central Heaven,
but their ages were well over 100. The Nie family can hide Central Heaven
warrior in his early twenties. In Nie Songping’s view, the first person in the world
to step into First Heaven is Qingyun!

Holding the tea cup to hide the sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, he
would like to see how Zhang Jingguo would praise Lin Yuhao after he sees
Qingyun.

***

Qingyun was sitting in the exclusive private room of the Nie family. There is a
huge screen in the room, which broadcasts the battle situation on the challenge
arena below in real time. One wall of the private room is also completely
transparent, allowing the people in the private room to also choose to open the
curtain and watch the competition directly below.

The competition has already begun, but now it is only the competition of some
peripheral figures in the Guwu world. The real aristocratic family is behind the
competition. Qingyun didn’t know that since the beginning of the Guwu
Conference, the Nie family were already paired up against Zhang Jingguo and
Lin Yuhao one by one. He leaned on the sofa and although he was staring at the
big screen, he was bored and distracted.

On weekdays, Nie Chenyuan sticks to him tightly. He’s basically inseparable.

Now that he isn’t here all of a sudden, it felt unusual.
“Mr. Qing, look, the young master is on the stage!”

The disciple of the Nie family standing behind Qingyun said cheerfully.

As soon as Nie Chenyuan came onto the stage, everyone gave him full attention.

In the private room where the family leaders gathered, Zhang Jingguo sat back
in his seat and thought about the information on Nie Chenyuan with a gloomy
face. He looked vaguely to one side and ate melon seeds. Seeing Nie Songping,
who was not nervous on his face, he clenched his teeth secretly.

Suddenly there was a loud bang and startled Zhang Jingguo. Subconsciously, he
looked up at the screen, only to find that it was dark. Then there were some
sounds and static heard from the speaker.

Before he got confused, one of the family leaders immediately stood up to pull
the curtain of the private room. He was so fast that it was unimaginable that his
old arms and legs could be so agile. Several people in the private room also
quickly surrounded him. Obviously, they were extremely curious about the scene
on the challenge arena.

While Zhang Jingguo was still absent-minded, the others could see clearly saw
what occurred. Just before the screen went black, Nie Chenyuan slapped his
opponent. As soon as the strong Qi gushing out, the screen turned black.

Several people looked down and suddenly took a breath of cool air, unable to
utter a single word.

Zhang Jingguo couldn’t sit down sit still. He looked at Nie Songping, who was
still sitting in his seat. He hesitated for a moment before he stood up and walked
over.
Behind him, Nie Songping also secretly stretched his neck to look down. He only
knew that Nie Chenyuan, this rascal’s meridians were healed and his internal Qi
realm was greatly increased. However, he did not fully understand the extent his
cultivation increased to.

Zhang Jingguo went to the window and looked down. He was mentally prepared⁶
but he was still surprised in the end.

Nearly one sixth of the whole arena is missing. A huge cave is placed at the edge.
Spider like cracks start to spread from the cave to the whole arena. Two
cameras on the edge of the arena seemed to be affected, and parts of it were
broken. Nie Chenyuan stood in the middle of the challenge arena, his opponent
had disappeared.

“This little fella…” Several heads of the family were surprised. This was a special
challenge arena for the disciples of the families. They used special materials
when making the arena to resist pressure and damage. If there was not a full
attack from those who had reached higher than the eighth level of Last Heaven,
then challenge arena could not be damaged.

It’s really amazing that the damage has reached this level, but these old foxes
were very knowledgeable. It was not surprising. They just witnessed Nie
Chenyuan’s strong Qi in his palm on the screen, and the screen went black in an
instant. What did that mean?

It meant that Nie Chenyuan’s Qi was much more powerful than the average. He
caused such large damages as soon as he came out! Wasn’t there was
something wrong with the boy’s meridians? How did he develop this powerful
energy? How powerful is his body to withstand the flow of such energy?

Several old foxes turned to look at Nie Songping, who had just shrunk his head
back. All their teeth were about to be broken.
What granson’s channels are blocked and his life was short? This was completely
dissing them! Who could practice to the eighth level of Last Heaven when their
meridians were blocked? No, no, no, this type of prowess must be at the Ninth
level!

Someone who had grievances against Zhang Jingguo immediately congratulated,

“Another young ninth level warrior in the Guwu circle, Congratulations! Old Nie,
you had hid this from us. After the game, you must treat us.”

“Easy to say!” Nie Songping was grinning from ear to ear but he secretly scolded
Nie Chenyuan for being so violent. The opponent of this match was at a lower
level than the fifth of Last Heaven. What’s the purpose of this rascal’s display of
great strength? Showing off?

In the challenge arena, Nie Chenyuan looked at his opponent who was being
carried away on a stretcher. He was obviously under Lin Yuhao. He insulted
Qingyun with his mouth on stage. It was Nie Chenyuan’s kind heart that allowed
him to leave half-dead.

Later, Nie Chenyuan seemed to think of something. His eyes grew soft as he
stood on the challenge arena and threw a kiss to a private room. As the actual
leader of the Nie family, Nie Chenyuan did not have much interest in the
declining of ancient martial arts, even if his accomplishments were restored, he
did not intend to tell the world.

He attended the Guwu Conference just to please Qingyun.

Seeing this scene from the restored screen, Qingyun immediately couldn’t help
laughing out, he clearly remembered and was not afraid to throw it (T/N: the
kiss) at the wrong place.

Nie Chenyuan could see through each compartment. Several family heads
suddenly had a strange look on their faces. Glancing at the compartment where
Qingyun is at, they turned to look Nie Songping.
Someone cautiously asked, “Xiao Nie has a sweetheart?”

The ears of the people around him immediately perked up. Nie Chenyuan is now
the only one in the Guwu world who is less than 30 years old and has reached
the ninth level of Last Heaven. He was better than Lin Yuhao, who had a
reputation for being a f*ckboy in the past few years.

These old foxes began to think about whether or not there was a woman of the
right age in their family. If they had a sweetheart, it would be difficult.

After all, no one is insane enough to threaten a talented nine level warrior.

Nie Songping’s face reminded unchanged but felt embarrassed to death. Since
knowing that Nie Chenyuan was interested in Qingyun, he couldn’t help but also
couldn’t bear to care about his own baby grandson. He even felt sorry for
Qingyun. His heart became tangled up and he finally moved to another residence
in their area. Without seeing them, he wasn’t bothered. So now Nie Songping
doesn’t know that Qingyun and Nie Chenyuan were already together.9

At this time, he felt ashamed of his grandson, and worried that Qingyun would
be angry when he saw it in public. He was sobbing at heart but still put on a
smile and said, “This… when children grow up, they will develop their own
ideas…”

When the old foxes heard this, a few candidates immediately appeared in their
minds as they sat down in their seats. However, their eyes were looking at each
other to figure out which guy would step up to mention their granddaughter first.

The arena was repaired in a simple manner and the competition resumed. Next,
Nie Chenyuan won every single round. Whether it was his powerful Qi or his
arrogance, it amazed everyone and gave the Nie family a lot of face⁸.
However, Nie Songping, who was sitting in the private room, was eager to dig a
hole and hide in it. Of course, before that, he had to slap this humiliating
grandson of his twice, sending Nie Chenyuan to his death.

He was acting like a peacock showing its feathers. Constantly kissing the Nie
family’s private room. First showing off his skills, then curries favor, making
everyone around him mutter.10

Which family’s precious jewel (T/N: it’s just an expression) was in the private
room? Letting the unmoved and so powerful master Nie be so attentive to them?

Chapter 8

Really became stupid.

Seeing Nie Chenyuan silently mouth out “fighting for you” on the screen,
Qingyun’s lips turned upwards.

Nie Chenyuan did not know that he was currently being despised. At the end of
each battle, he still rushed to Qingyun to “give in contributions” (T/N: he’s
asking for praise). Unfortunately, the ranking competition was almost over, with
only one left. After Nie Chenyuan wins, he can get the qualification to challenge
Lin Yuhao, the winner of last term’s conference.

He leaned back on the chair and sighed profusely.

Nie Chenyuan was purposely acting this way. His love for Qingyun was
overflowing, filling his chest. He wanted to declare his ownership of Qingyun to
the world. As for what other people think about their feelings, it was totally out
of Nie Chenyuan’s consideration.

Nie Songping sat on the chair, feeling anxious. He was afraid that Nie Chenyuan
would do something that might shock the world next. However, the private room
he is currently in was already chaotic. The heads of several families with girls
suddenly stood up. Even Wang Miaoyun’s grandfather wasn’t left out.

“Old Wang! I knew you were not a good thing. Your granddaughter had already
been with that Lin boy, and even dragged Xiao Nie into it!” The head of the Gu
family had the most violent temper. He pointed to Wang Miaoyun’s grandfather
and scolded him.

“Motherfucker, fuck you!¹ Do you even know how to talk, you old bastard! Why
are you doubting my Miaoyun? I think you planned this first. Isn’t your
granddaughter in the Nie family’s room?!” Wang head said this, but he secretly
regretted it. If he had known of Nie Chenyuan’s strength…
“Use your brain and think about it. If it were my granddaughter, would I ask
now?” Gu head looked at Wang Miaoyun’s grandfather as if he were not faking.
He turned around to scold another.

He pointed to the man that had just opened his mouth and he immediately
raised his eyelids to retort, “Don’t you pretend and say that you don’t have a
granddaughter.”

Lin head immediately took back his fingers, glancing at the old god Nie Songping
from the corner of his eye.

Nie Songping knew that no one here was a fool, quarreling over something so
easily at this age. This is clearly an act to make him reveal something.

These old guys usually don’t show many feelings towards the younger
generation, but it’s strange that they showed so much enthusiasm for Nie
Chenyuan.

After watching these games, let alone their own curiosity, all the people on the
floor, in the private rooms and in the seats below stared at the Nie family’s
private room, only regretting that they didn’t have a pair of X-ray eyes.

Even Zhang Jingguo and Lin Yuhao were curious at this moment. What kind of
person could make such an impression on Nie Chenyuan?

After all, Nie Chenyuan is only twenty-five years old. He is at the ninth level of
Last Heaven and his strength is no worse than Lin Yuhao’s. How can they not
pay attention to him?

But Nie Songping did not dare to discuss Qingyun with them like he was his
granddaughter-in-law. He couldn’t even sit still right now, for fear that Qingyun
would wring Nie Chenyuan’s neck in anger.
To be honest, if Nie Songping himself was being discussed by the people at this
time, he would’ve long beaten this idiot, Nie Chenyuan, to death.

Nie Songping’s face was taut, and he coughed uncontrollably at last. When
everyone thought that he was finally going to open his mouth, he walked out of
the door quietly on crutches.

***

Qingyun looked at Nie Songping who suddenly opened the door and came in. He
silently moved his eyes to the screen and stayed silent.

It wasn’t only Nie Songping who was embarrassed to see him, but Qingyun as
well. He and Nie Chenyuan had already rolled in bed. Now seeing Nie
Chenyuan’s grandfather’s respectful attitude, his mood is also subtle.

Nie Songping’s smile made his old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum. He said
to Nie Chenyuan, “Chenyuan is still young and not very sensible. Please forgive
me, Mr. Qing, I will definitely repair him properly when we get back.” (T/N:
repair=beat up).

He blushed as he spoke, Young? Young my ass! Already twenty-five-six², he’s

older than Qingyun by around four to five years. At this point, it’s up to his
young age to hope Qingyun would forgive him.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Qingyun immediately learned that Nie Songping was apologizing for something.
He had an excellent hearing, and the whispers in the compartments around him
had been heard clearly for a long time now.
Put down the teacup, Qingyun walked to the transparent wall and raised his
hand to pull the curtain that covered his sight.

“If they want to see it, then show them clearly.”

The moment Qingyun opened the curtain, the people on the seats below were
quiet for a second, stretching their necks to look at the Nie family’s private room.

At the same time, the circular arrangement of compartments above also, one by
one, “Hua Hua Hua” opened their curtains, standing in front of the wall and
looking at Qingyun’s compartment.

The person in charge of the meeting also opened his eyes at the moment and
set up a camera to shoot at the Nie family’s private room.

How about the precious gold? Where is the precious gold?

As they stretched their necks and widened their eyes, they only saw Qingyun,
this man, standing by the wall, and there was only one disciple in the
compartment. Looking inside, they also saw Nie Songping’s old face.

Was it because their fervent discussions were too enthusiastic that the woman in
the room left?

But Nie Chenyuan’s face was full of happiness, dispelling their doubts. Nie
Chenyuan, the only inheritor of the Nie family, a powerful and talented man who
has reached the ninth level of Last Heaven before 30, likes a man?!?!

There was an uproar! Then someone pointed out the identity of Qingyun, who is
the only son of Qing Haolin who was defeated by Lin Yuhao three years ago and
was also exposed to the scandal of extortion.
If one thinks about it deeply, they would immediately believe that they have
discovered the truth.

There is no doubt that Nie Chenyuan wants to compete with Lin Yuhao. So what
does this mean? Qingyun is selling his body to avenge his father! (T/N: …)

People looked at Nie Chenyuan with a little sympathy. It seems that Nie
Chenyuan is sincere. Qingyun’s motive is not pure.

They are not mentally ill. Naturally, they did not dare to talk bad about the Nie
Chenyuan on stage, but they all shook their heads at Qingyun, one after another.

The family heads staying in the private room above were also stunned. Zhang
Jingguo shook his head with a smile, feeling schadenfreude while speaking with
a gloating tone, “It’s not easy for Old Nie. His grandson’s meridians are now well.
Just after getting rid of this worry, his grandson led a man home. He’s even a
man with ulterior motives. It’s no wonder that he couldn’t even breathe before.”

Wang Miaoyun’s grandfather smiled and laughed lightly, the other family heads
were quiet, their hearts beating fast.

How can the heir of the Nie family be with a man? Seeing that Nie Songping was
clearly going to “catch adultery in the act”, this boy named Qingyyun was too
scheming and unexpectedly exposed his identity while taking the limelight.

“Qingyun? It’s Qingyun?!” Lin Yuhao eyes also widened in surprise, he didn’t
expect that Qingyyun could really actually entrance Nie Chenyuan.

There was a strange excitement in his heart. The huge pressure that had existed
since Nie Chenyuan came on the stage had finally been released. Lin Yuhao
smiled grimly, picked up his cell phone and made a phone call. “Mom, did you
know that I saw Qingyun, he even sold his body to avenge me…”
Mother Lin lived up to expectations and rushed to the scene before Nie
Chenyuan’s last fight.

She didn’t do anything, she just stood in front of a video camera, staring at
Qingyun in the private room with her eyes wide open and crying, saying,
“Qingyun, mother is very disappointed in you.” (T/N: this bit*h has the guts to
say that.)

Tears ran down as she said, cried until the pear blossom bathed in rain³, and
thumped her chest and stamped her feet in great sorrow, as if she had both
heartache and guilt from Qingyun’s behavior.

Lin Yuhao arrived at the right time, embraced Mother Lin while comforting and
walking upwards, looking like a filial son, blaming Qingyun.

Seeing another show of affection between mother and child from the corner of
his eye, Qingyun hooked up his lips in irony. Since he dared to stand up, he was
not afraid of others’ criticisms, and Lin Yuhao’s and Mother Lin’s reactions had
nothing to do with him.

At this time, Nie Chenyuan’s last fight began, causing people to shift their
attention.

His face sank like water, slowly walked onto the stage, glanced around the
venue, and looked at the complexion of everyone’s faces around him. At this
moment, he was ecstatic because of Qingyun’s response to him but he cruel
thoughts appeared in his mind due to people’s vilification of Qingyun.

Looking up at Qingyun’s clear and sly eyes, Nie Chenyuan suddenly smiled.
“Don’t tell me that you are genuinely interested, right?” The opponent who just
came on the stage interrupted the two’s eye contact.

Nie Chenyuan’s opponent this time, Zhang Kuang, was the champion of the
Conference before last year’s who had challenged and been defeated by Lin
Yuhao at the last Guwu Conference. He was also the first brother Lin Yuhao
genuinely conquer.

Zhang Kuang was adopted by Zhang JingGuo at an early age, and it was through
his (ZJG’s) Guwu Association that he won the five-time championship. He had
been stuck at the peak of the eighth floor of Last Heaven for ten years, but Lin
Yuhao at that time was only at the seventh floor of Last Heaven and fought him
hard to defeat him. Since then, Zhang Kuang has admired Lin Yuhao greatly.

“Although I know that you have reached the ninth floor of Last Heaven, you are
still definitely not as good as Yuhao. He is a man who can fight beyond the
ranks.” Even though his cultivation was not as good as Nie Chenyuan, Zhang
Kuang still scorned him.

Nie Chenyuan was unhappy at the moment and didn’t want to talk nonsense to
him so he turned his head to signal to the referee that the fight had begun.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Kuang mentioned Qingyun. “How is playing with him?

Looking at his fair-skinned and tender meat, I don’t know what it feels like in
bed?”

He gave an ambiguous smile as he spoke while rubbing his fingers.

The sound for the start of the game had just rung out when, at the same time,
there was the voice of someone screaming.

“What happened?” The crowd watching the game was baffled.

Someone with sharp eyes had screamed immediately. “A-Arm… whose arm?”

Gradually, everyone also saw that a twisted broken arm was lying on the
platform, as if it was just freshly torn off from the shoulder of a human body, the
skin and flesh was ripped apart in a mess, and the blood was sprayed onto the
ground.

Support me pls~

Chapter 9

That broken arm was Zhang Kuang’s.

Just when the fight began, Nie Chenyuan, with a speed invisible to the naked
eye, ripped off Zhang Kuang’s arm with just with a pair of hands.

Howling in fear, he laid down with half of his body bleeding, completely missing
the arrogant attitude he had at the beginning. He wanted to surrender, but he
was blocked by the strong wind before he could speak.

Everyone present finally realized what it meant to give a ‘beating.’ Zhang Kuang
was like a broken sandbag being tossed around the stage, continuously beaten.
In the end, he couldn’t even speak words of defeat.

As long as the Guwu Conference doesn’t hurt people’s lives, it doesn’t violate the
rules. But the people who reach the final are usually children from aristocratic
families. On ordinary days, they would help each other out, and it’s rare to see
someone fight so viciously.

What Zhang Kuang said before was not a secret. Now, everyone tightly shut
their mouths subconsciously. More people felt afraid due to the inappropriate
words they spoke before.

Looking at the Zhang Kuang who basically had only one breath left on the
ground, Nie Chenyuan shook the beads of blood on his hand and shrugged to the
lifeless referee.

“Don’t worry, I have listened to your complaints and will no longer harm the
arena in any way.” With that, he immediately jumped out of the challenge arena,
not returning to the lounge, but walked directly upstairs.

When the stretcher lifted Zhang Kuang away, the referee noticed that there was
not a single scar on the challenge arena, and immediately looked at Zhang
Kuang with more sympathy.
“With such fierce Qi, he even has such control. There’s no way he’s only at the
ninth level of Last Heaven. ” The Gu family head said such a sentence with
trembling lips, and there was only silence behind him.

Lin Yuhao stared at the screen intently, there was even red steaks of blood going
down his eyes. Looking closely, even his clasped hands were faintly trembling.

“Baby.” Nie Chenyuan pushed open the door of the private room and ignored the
full-of-smiles grandpa, directly walking towards Qingyun.

Lifting his feet to this person away, Qinyun frowned at Nie Chenyuan’s blood-
stained body, “Who let you in?”

Nie Chenyuan smiled and tried to get closer, but Nie Songping patted him on the
shoulder, “You little rascal! You tell me the truth, what is the cultivation now? It
must be on the 10th level of Last Heaven, right?”

Saying this with a happy heart and blooming smile.

“Like this, Lin Yuhao, that kid, will surely lose the challenge tomorrow. I dare to
see what Zhang Jingguo will do! Heng!”

“Grandpa, I’m not going tomorrow.” Nie Chenyuan gazed at Qingyun with a
smile.

“What?” Nie Songping looked at his grandson and then Qingyun. He still didn’t
understand why.

“It’s me who is going up tomorrow.” Qingyun said casually as he bowed his head
and straightened his sleeves.
Nie Songping was stunned and immediately lit a row of candles for Lin Yuhao in
his heart. (T/N: lighting candles = praying for you)

The Guwu conference was suspended for a day to give the champion, who had
been continuously fighting, a rest period, and then comes the challenge that
everyone will pay the most attention to.

Only the first ranked challenger is qualified to go against the last time’s best, Lin
Yuhao.

***

Lin Yuhao is warming up in his exclusive lounge. There are several martial artists
from the Guwu Association standing around. Unlike the usual meeting, where
they always complimented Lin Yuhao, this time, these martial artists were as
quiet as chickens. The atmosphere in the room was very strange.

It was mostly because of Zhang Kuang’s terrible situation yesterday. Everyone

agreed that Nie Chenyuan’s cultivation had already exceeded the ninth level of
Last Heaven. Lin Yuhao’s match with him, the chances of winning are low.

Zhang Jingguo came in and handed Lin Yuhao a towel. At the same time, he
patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous. I have always been
very optimistic about you. Although Nie Chenyuan is strong, your ability to fight
others on a higher level than you is not weak.”

It would’ve been better if he hadn’t said anything. Saying it like that, Lin Yuhao
became more agitated in his heart. What do you mean by that? Does everyone
think that Nie Chenyuan’s cultivation has already surpassed his?
Lin Yuhao pursed his lips and didn’t speak. Zhang Jingguo’s face displayed some
nervousness. He looked at the time and said, “He Lao is going to see your match
today. He should be on the car by now.”

He patted Lin Yuhao on the shoulder again and just when he turned to leave, the
screen in the lounge just displayed the candidates of this match.

Qingyun V.S. Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao looked up and the hand holding the towel to wipe his sweat stopped.
Before Zhang Jingguo walked out of the door, he turned back and was stunned.

What happened? Shouldn’t Lin Yuhao’s opponent be Nie Chenyuan? How did it
become Qingyun?

“Maybe it’s a mistake. I’ll call and ask.” Zhang Jingguo frowned, picked up his
phone and made a call.

After a moment, he walked into the lounge again, and his face was full of
wonder, “It really is Qingyun. Nie Chenyuan even gave up his qualification to
him when he arrived at this step.”

“This is against the rules.” Lin Yuhao asked as he scrunched his brows. However,
he couldn’t help but almost laugh at the huge sense of relief that emerged in his
mind.

Was it because of the rumors and Mother Lin’s appearance yesterday, that made
Qingyun couldn’t help but clarify himself in this way? Really is still too tender.

Lin Yuhao raised the corner of his mouth, concealing the smile on his face. He
wanted to use public opinion to stir up the relationship between Nie Chenyuan
and Qingyun, In his perspective, Nie Chenyuan can’t stand being used by others.
Knowing Qingyun’s careful thinking, he may withdraw from the competition. But
I didn’t expect that Qingyun was naive enough to get up on stage personally and
fight him.

Qingyun is already a wasted man. How can he compare with him (LYH)?

“No, there is this rule.” Zhang Jingguo’s face is not relaxed, but with a little
doubt, “Qingyun is a guest of the Nie family, so he is allowed to take the Nie
family’s place in the challenge.”

Seeing the names appear on the big screen in the field, everyone became a little
restless and whispered to each other. But using Zhang Kuang’s incident
yesterday as an example, no one dared to speak out.

“Guest Qing¹?” A few family heads staying in the private room were also very
surprised. They knew that there was such a rule, but the position of Guest Qing
was the face of every family. The cultivation of Guest Qing should reach a level
where people can look up to. Otherwise, they would lose face.

Although there were several families close to the Guwu Association who tried to
invite Lin Yuhao as Guest Qing, they held some contempt against him.

The legitimate Guest Qing, why does their cultivation always have to be at
Central Heaven? But how many Central Heaven martial artists are there in this
world? They’re often indifferent to the secular world, even if they wanted to
invite them, they couldn’t.

All the people in the room turned their eyes to Nie Songping. Seeing the old
god² sitting still, they could not help but start whispering.

Yesterday, it was revealed that who his grandson likes is a man. Today, he can
still be so calm. Isn’t his mentality too good?
They didn’t believe that Nie Songping was dumb from his old age³, randomly
giving a person the role of their family’s Guest Qing, so their attitude towards
Qingyun became a bit better. But they were still full of doubts. Doesn’t matter
how you look at it, Qingyun is only in his early twenties, how high is his
cultivation?

When Qingyun appeared, everyone’s eyes were fixed on him.

Whether it’s that dispute between the Qing family and Lin Yuhao, the
relationship between Qingyun and Nie Chenyuan, or his the reason why he is
competing on stage, all the people present were full of curiosity to see how far
the only son of the Qing family who has disappeared for three years could go.

As soon as Qingyun stood on the challenge arena, someone could not help but
scold, “Nonsense! Is the fight just for fun? How could you let an ordinary man
fight!”

“Look at this man’s superficial footwork! It’s no different than an ordinary

person’s! At most, he is a warrior at the first or second level of Last Heaven,
how’s he gonna make it interesting?!”

“Old Nie… this is?” The Gu family head turned to look at Nie Songping with a
heisant face.

Nie Songping was like a childish old man. He sighed and shook his head with a
wry smile, “Chenyuan likes it. What can I do?”

Said as if he was full of anguish and helpless, but in reality, his heart was dark
and cool. I’m afraid these old boys’ eyes will pop out later.

The Gu family head’s eyes rolled, his mind thought to sell his granddaughter,
“There are always times when young people can’t think properly, we elders
should not indulge them too much.”
***

“See, he’s a waste because his foundation is destroyed.” Lin Yuhao leaned on the
sofa, his eyes fixed on the screen and snorted.

“That’s right.” Zhang Jingguo shook his head and laughed. He thinks he’s
thinking too much. It seems that old guy Nie Songping also has times where he
becomes stupid.

No, it should be said that the old head of the Nie family has a loose screw in his
head. Zhang Jingguo had to admit that if Nie Chenyuan fought, Lin Yuhao would
basically lose. Now that it’s Qingyun, the Nie family is practically giving the
championship away.

Lin Yuhao stood up and was ready to go on stage. His eyes were still staring at
the Qingyun on the screen. His eyes were as fierce as a snake’s. It just so
happens that Mother Lin is here today. Just let him destroy the Qing family once
in for all.

Ignoring the noise around, Qingyun looked down at his jade like palm, a thin
layer of energy slowly covering it, isolating the hands from any contact with the
outside world.

“You shouldn’t have come.” Lin Yuhao stood on the arena and said with a sigh.
He looked at Qingyun with compassion in his eyes. “Go away, get out of the
Guwu world, be an ordinary person and live a good life.”

Qingyun looked up at him and thought, this (LYH) is a playwright.

Lin Yuhao then said, even with a little hatred that iron was not steel⁴, “Don’t you
know your actions are making it hard on your mother? I know you can’t help but
blame me for Qing Haolin’s death. But Qing Haolin had used his identity as a
warrior to plunder, threatened my mother with my father’s and my life to force
her to marry him. He’s just a cancer in the Guwu world. What right do you have
to avenge him!”

“My mother had suffered for me for 20 years. She was not familiar with the
Guwu world, nor dare to talk to others. She could only use her weak body to
resist the harm done by Qing Haolin and protect me and my father…”

Saying all this, his eyes were slightly red, appearing to be extremely hurt. At
this time, the curtain slowly rose in the private room where Mother Lin was
upstairs. Mother Lin sat gracefully beside the wall and looked at Lin Yuhao
tenderly. She said a few words while towards facing downwards. Looking at her
mouth, it was clear that she said, “Yuhao, mom is proud of you.”

Not knowing started it first, the people watching the competition all clapped their
hands. Some people stood up and praised Lin Yuhao. They praised their mother
and son love. They totally forgot the Qingyun standing on stage, was also
Mother Lin’s son.

“Didn’t the match time start?” Qingyun turned to look at the referee on the other
side and said in a flat voice.

Lin Yuhao eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure, but he nodded at the referee.

The competition had just begun, several family heads in the private room were
not interested in watching the situation in the challenge arena. In their eyes,
there was no suspense at all about the competition, and with Lin Yuhao’s
temperament, he might even lose on purpose. There was nothing to see.

Wang Miaoyun’s grandfather wiped his presbyopic glasses at this time and
sighed, “Mrs. Lin didn’t have it easy either. She has endured humiliation for 18
years. Although she doesn’t know martial arts, she is tough and resilient with an
elegant temperament. She is honestly the most wonderful woman in the world.”

Nie Songping took a glance and didn’t speak. In the previous years, he still felt
that Lao Wang was an understanding man. Now it seems that he had become
older and confused¹.

Lin Yuhao’s mouth was full of various ways of consolation for Qingyun, yet he did
not let all of it out at once. Once he got arrived on stage, he showed off the
“Graceful steps²” he had come up with which had attracted everyone’s attention
and praise for the past two years. He Lao will come to see his game soon and Lin
Yuhao naturally needed to perform well.

Qingyun stood in the middle of the stage, seeing through Lin Yuhao’s actions
with one look, he suddenly hooked up his lips and smiled as he stepped right in
front of Lin Yuhao.

“Your body skill came from the Qing family’s martial arts.”

As soon as he said this, Lin Yuhao was in a state of turmoil and almost made a
mistake with his footwork. In the private room, mother Lin’s pupil shrank. She
took the Qing family’s martial arts and handed it to Lin Yuhao. But Lin Yuhao
made some changes. Unexpectedly, this was seen through by Qingyun.
“What? Is what Qingyun said true?” There was another discussion under the
stage, “Isn’t this ‘Graceful Steps’ Mr. Lin’s original creation?”

“This must be Qingyun’s nonsense, this ‘Graceful Steps’ was what you and I
watched Mr. Lin evolve from one game to another!”

“The Qing family is just a second-class family. What good martial arts skills
would they have? “

“Look, this is the ‘Flying Snow Steps³’ of the Qing family, it’s not your
grandstanding⁴ “Graceful Steps.”” Qingyun said in a cold voice, his figure
suddenly drifted up, like the flying snow in the night sky following behind Lin
Yuhao silently.

Lin Yuhao’s pupils shrunk, and his heart was full of disbelief. His “Graceful Steps”
came from the “Flying Snow Steps” of the Qing family. Yes, it was the essence of
the Qing family’s martial arts. Back then, even Qing Haolin had only a small
success in this move. How did this waste, Qingyun, succeed in performing this?

Each step took Qingyun seemed to be profound and stop in front of Lin Yuhao
unexpectedly, every time. His body suddenly blurred and disappeared from the
challenge arena, which made people open their eyes to follow his silhouette, but
even the edge of his clothes was nowhere to be found.

Qingyun was always a genius in martial arts. The martial arts of this small world
can be mastered with just a glance. Although the “Flying Snow Steps” is difficult
to master, it did not trouble him.

Nie Chenyuan stood in the private room of the Nie house, pulled open the
curtain and looked at Qingyun, completely infatuated with him.

“This… These two body methods seem to come from the same origin, and it is
obvious that Qingyun made them… ” One person only said half of his words, but
the audience around him knew it clearly. What Qingyun used was obviously
more authentic and obviously more superior, full of aesthetic feeling and implied
murderous intent, which was extremely weird.

“Good!” Suddenly an old voice full of admiration rang out, which contained a
strong momentum and continued throughout the venue.

Zhang Jingguo saw the man clearly, and his face was startled, “He Lao⁵!”

Without regard to the crowd of people obstructing him, He Lao followed Gu Lang
in the outer ring of the challenge arena, “Excellent, wonderful! Every step is like
a snowflake falling, which can be hurried or slow. No trace left behind by the
falling snow, it’s like a ghost killing invisibly!”

“No, that’s not right!” His complexion changed, then displayed obsession. He
bent to observe the trail from where Qingyun’s landed. However, it seemed to be
extremely difficult, he failed to follow them several times, “This… This trail…”

The more He Lao looked, the more frightened he became. He couldn’t help but
give Qingyun a deep look.

“Who is this man? I’m tired of him going around all over the place! ” Someone
under the stage impatiently called out that the old man in untidy clothes around
the challenge arena who seriously affected their mood to watch the match. At
this time, they didn’t realize that their mind had been completely attracted by
Qingyun’s technique.

“Keep your voice down!” A man reached out to hit the audience who had just
spoken, leaned over and whispered, “don’t look at his slovenliness, it’s the
strongest person in the ancient martial arts world today, and the one most likely
to reach First Heaven!”

“What? Is he in Central Heaven? Then why doesn’t it seem he is to be able to

catch up with Qingyun?”

The audience was surprised. Looking at Qingyun, they shook their heads and
sighed. This match was really unexpected to them.

Lin Yuhao was completely embarrassed by Qingyun’s pursuit. However, Qingyun

was like a cat playing a mouse. He could easily stop him, yet he doesn’t attack
so easily. He tried to escape, but he was caught again and again. Lin Yuhao was
thoroughly beaten black and blue.
“Impossible impossible impossible!” Lin Yuhao saw at the teasing look in
Qingyun’s eyes and his eyes became red. He turned around and saw that He Lao,
who is currently filled with expectation, chasing Qingyun’s trail like a madman.
He immediately became frustrated at heart, so mad that he spits out a mouthful
of blood!

Qingyun slowly paused and looked at Lin Yuhao, his eyes displaying a provoking
look.

“Good!”

The audience didn’t know why. They didn’t know that Lin Yuhao was angry when
he vomited blood. They thought it was Qingyun who hurt him. They were so
excited at the sight that they immediately forgot their position before the game
and called for Qingyun to say hello. After that, they started to chat with each
other. Unexpectedly, when they turned their heads to look at each other, they
had the same expressions as their friends.

“Boy! Boy! Please teach me, you can teach me what kind of Flying Snow Steps
you just used! ” He Lao wanted to climb up to the challenge arena right now and
even said, “I worship you as my teacher!”

Then he knelt down and kowtowed to Qingyun a few times.

In the private room, several family heads were silent. Looking at the He Lao who
kowtowed to Qingyun and threatened him (QY) to formally acknowledged him
(HL) as his teacher, then looking at Qingyun, who had profound footwork and a
deep level of cultivation, his face was full of bitterness.

On the other hand, Nie Songping is no longer faking anymore. He was happily
eating melon seeds.
Qingyun ignores He Lao. He knew this man’s identity, he’s a martial arts maniac.
It seems that his friendship with Lin Yuhao is not very deep.

Qingyun doesn’t care, but when Lin Yuhao saw He Lao, the person whom he
wanted attention from even if he risked his life, is now fanatically trying to
attract Qingyun’s attention, his state of mind was in turmoil again. He held his
fist charging towards Qingyun and roared at him.

He seemed impulsive and mad, but a glimmer of darkness flashed through his
eyes. Lin Yuhao’s fist withheld a cold poisonous, dark energy. As long as
Qingyun was hit, the consequences would be the same as his father’s, not even
knowing how he died.

“Running Thunder?” Qingyun laughed and shot out a fist at the same time
shooting out air waves visible to the naked eye. Lin Yuhao collapsed on the ring
like a rag doll.

The move Running Thunder is Lin Yuhao’s trademark technique. Not some
special martial technique, just an entry martial technique of the ancient Wujie
Street. At the time, Lin Yuhao used this simple martial technique to show his
astonishing power, becoming famous in one battle.

Didn’t expect that Qingyun would use this move to bring him down.

Ignoring He Lao, who was still pestering for an apprenticeship on the side,
Qingyun slowly walked towards Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao was bewildered. He moved his eyes and looked at the approaching
Qingyun. Disregarding his injuries, he opened his mouth and asked: “Why? Why
didn’t you resist when I abused you and destroyed your Dantian? Why didn’t you
Resist! You clearly have such a deep cultivation! Why?! “

The audience beneath the platform couldn’t help but be surprised. What did
Lin Yuhao say he did? Beating Qingyun and destroying Qingyun’s Dantian?
 Nie Chenyuan stood in the private room and heard it clearly, he had
speculations about what had happened before. But hearing it now still made his
heart tighten, feeling very distressed for Qingyun, and hating Lin Yuhao through
to the bone.

Qingyun didn’t answer his question, just looked down at him and asked him a
question.

“How does it feel to fall down where you first made your name?”

Filled with hatred, Lin Yuhao instantly understood what Qingyun meant. This
man just wanted to let him be raised up high only to be thrown mercilessly down,
just to see himself in this place, under the attention of tens of thousands of
people, be defeated by his trademark move! Really so heartless, and such a
patient temperament!

Qingyun looked around the venue. That’s right, this is where Lin Yuhao’s
reputation as a winner in life first started, but also the beginning of Qingyun’s
misery. At the time, Qingyun, who has yet to reach 18, was here to watch his
father be defeated, his mother abandoned her child and the family, then had her
Dan Tian destroyed and tragically killed.

Both Qingyun and Lin Yuhao’s lives were changed here the first time, so why
not have it change the second time?

Coldly looking at Lin Yuhao’s body, Qingyun slowly squatted down, the debt of
ruining Qingyun Dantian had yet to be calculated.

“Qingyun! Stop!”

Mother Lin breathlessly ran down the stairs and to the platform to stop
Qingyun’s action.
 Qingyun squatted beside Lin Yuhao and turned to look at Mother Lin.

“Mom?”

Hearing this form of address, Mother Lin immediately felt that there was some
leeway. She steadied her breath and showed a gentle yet helpless expression
towards Qingyun, seemingly crying yet smiling: “Xiao Yun, listen to your mother.
Come down, the competition is over, mother knows you are brilliant.”

“Yu Hao is your brother. Didn’t you always want a brother ever since you were
young? Don’t let the disputes of the previous generation continue onto the next
generation alright?”

“Mom, you …” Qingyun looked at Mother Lin with a long sigh. His eyes
reflected a strange light, seemingly easing a little.

When Zhang Jingguo saw this, his tightly wound heart relaxed a little, a
corner of his mouth couldn’t help revealing a smile. Where there is life, there is
hope. As long as Qingyun released Lin Yuhao, then Lin Yuhao’s potential could
definitely break through.

Nie Songping looked at the screen and couldn’t help but slightly sigh.

He raised the tea cup, bowed his head and sipped the tea to hide the lament
in his eyes. In his opinion, Qingyun was good at everything, cultivation was even
more extraordinary, but his biggest shortcoming was that he was too young.

“Young people are soft-hearted …”

As soon as his voice fell, he heard a heaven piercing scream, startling him into
shaking his hands, spilling the whole cup of tea onto his face.
Chapter 11

Disregarding the tea stain on his face, Nie Songping looked up at the screen.

Qingyun continued to look at Mother Lin with a kind of nostalgic and

understanding eyes, but a jade-like palm was ruthlessly inserted into Lin Yuhao’s
Dantian.

“This … is he cr*ppled?” The patriarch of the Wang family pursed his lips.

“Not only that …” Patriarch Gu stared at the screen with eyes, “You can see that
the palm of his hand is full of spirit force. He has clearly ruined Lin Yuhao’s
meridian joints. Now not only is his cultivation destroyed, he can only be a
cr*pple… “

As these words came out, several old foxes in the room, who already had one
foot in the grave, looked at Qingyun’s face that held what could be called a
gentle expression, and felt their hearts chill. So young, with such high cultivation,
yet so cruel!

This child named Qingyun really made them feel ashamed of themselves.

Nie Chenyuan listened to the restless exclamations below, but laughed gloriously.
Qingyun saw through things extremely thoroughly. Naturally, he was not the
kind of person who was touched by a few words, thus going easy on someone*.

*TN: 放虎归山 – returning the tiger to the mountain. Basically letting someone off
easily thus leaving behind a possible calamity for the future

Seeing as how the competition was over, he picked up his cell phone and
made a call.

“Mom, I’m disappointed in you too.”

Qingyun looked at the crumbling Mother Lin under the ring and said mercilessly.

Mother Lin felt faint. She finally understood that the current Qingyun was no
longer the Qingyun who had been at her mercy. Lin Yuhao has already become
cr*ppled, so what would be the point of her abandoning her family for the
second time? Might as well have stayed as Lady Qing in the first place!

“Qingyun, you’re too vicious, so what if your cultivation is at such a high level,
it is still inconspicuous for the ancient martial arts world!”
 One person stood up from the audience and accused Qingyun, “Your father
got what he deserved for his crimes. Where do you get the gall to avenge him?”

Several echoed this person, but more were still shocked by Qingyun’s powerful
force, not daring to utter a word.

At this moment, the huge screen that was broadcasting the battlefield
situation on the field suddenly flashed, then black and white pictures similar to
the movies of the 70s and 80s appeared.

Mother Lin looked up to see the two figures on the screen, suddenly her legs
weakened and sat on the ground: “Impossible … Qing residence was already
ruined …”

On the screen, a cute and pretty woman with short ear-length hair was swung
around by an elegant man. As the woman smiled she suddenly burst into tears,
but her face was still full of happiness.

She embraced the man’s neck and softly said, “Hao Lin, thank you for freeing
me from that terrible family. I simply can’t recall the painful life I had before. He
beat me, and forced me to give birth …”

“What kind of situation is this? How come a movie is being shown?” The
discussion from audience clearly showed puzzlement

“This man seems a little familiar?” A warrior about fifty years old frowned.
Suddenly, as though remembering something, he pointed in surprise at the
screen, “This man is Qing Haolin! Qing Haolin in his youth!”

Since this man was Qing Haolin, then this woman …

Everyone turned to look at the screen, and then looked at the Mother Lin
under the stage, suddenly all was clear.

The screen evidently showed Mother Lin and Qing Haolin when they were
young. Lin Mu whispered a lot about the “tragic life” in the past, but was
interrupted by Qing Haolin. Finally with Qing Haolin on one knee proposing, it
ended with Mother Lin shyly agreeing.

This was the exact video tape that Qingyun had found in the Qing residence.
Obviously, Qing Haolin secretly recorded his proposal to keep as a memory.
Eighteen years later, both husband and wife had forgotten about the video.
Playing it now was extremely ironic.

The audience inexplicably watched a love movie from the 1970s. At the
beginning, they couldn’t figure out what was going on, but when they heard
what the woman said in the video, they were suddenly hit with realization,
looking unbelievably at Mother Lin who had softly fallen on the ground.
The video can be fake, but the young Mother Lin and Qing Hao Lin couldn’t be
fake.

If Lin Yuhao hadn’t said those words before then so be it, but someone just had
to make a “Preliminary Recap.” Now seeing an entirely different scene, people
thought it was laughable.

What Qing Hao Lin forcefully snatched, and Mother Lin bearing the humiliation.
Qing Hao Lin was just an unlucky man who married a black lotus who abandoned
her family for two consecutive times!

Suddenly, Lin Yuhao’s previous incident of destroying Qingyun’s Dantian was

also explained. Clearly it was meant to kill.

Then they thought of Lin Yuhao’s startling success which originated from the
martial arts of the Qing family, everyone’s eyes looked at Mother Lin as though
looking at a black widow. Abandoning her family, and swallowing her husband’s
property. In the end actually blamed and accused her husband and son while
standing on high morality. This woman could be labeled as a poisonous woman.

“No, no, no! He forced me to film this, I was forced!” Mother Lin raised her
face and explained to the people around her, only to find the faces of those who
were persuaded by her were full of scorn.

Ignoring how anyone would have had the thought to record a video in those
days, if this was really recorded by Qing Haolin, why didn’t he take this out to
explain when he was referred to as a malignant tumor in the ancient martial arts
world by Lin Yuhao three years ago?

Currently, the people who previously applauded Lin Yuhao and Mother Lin felt
their faces flush with embarrassment. Patriarch Wang who had openly
commended Mother Lin as a “wonder woman” felt his old face even more flushed,
as if he had been slapped hundreds of times. Viciously staring at Mother Lin with
his lips pursed, “There is actually such a brazen woman in the world …”

“Qingyun!”

The weak sound of Lin Yuhao’s gritted teeth suddenly sounded out. He was lying
on a stretcher with a handgun in his hand pointing at Qing Yun, his eyes filled
with madness.

Nie Chenyuan’s breathing slowed, he shattered the tempered glass in front of

him with a kick and jumped out of the private room on the second floor.
 However, he was still one step too late, a “bang” sounded out of the gun, and
the bullet blasted towards Qing Yun who was still on the platform. A laugh tore
through Lin Yuhao’s throat, filled with maliciousness.

Everyone in the private room stood up and looked in shock at the gun in Lin
Yuhao’s hand.

Several patriarchs couldn’t help but shake their heads and sigh as they watched
the flying bullets.

Technology in this world has continuously developed, but ancient martial arts
have been declining? Why? Because the ancient martial warriors are still unable
to block blazing weapons.

No one saw who it was that stuffed the gun in Lin Yuhao’s hand, but everyone
knew that Qingyun, this brilliant and talented warrior, was really a fleeting
existence.

Some people secretly sighed that it’s such a pity, while others were secretly
elated.

However, standing in the very center of the crisis, Qingyun did not dodge, but
instead sneered, his face full of ridicule.

Only his hand was seen raised, stretching out two fingers, then turned to the
side and accurately pinched the rapidly rotating bullet!

Lin Yuhao’s pupils contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief.

An uproar rose within the venue. Qingyun was standing on the platform, so his
every move was projected onto the huge screen behind him. But no one
understood exactly how he managed to catch the bullet.

“You … You pinch me! Are they filming a movie?” A man was stunned and
yanked the sleeves of the person next to him, only to find that the person also
had a face filled with bewilderment.

“What’s the situation? This gun is real right? The bullet a real bullet?”

No one understood why. To them, the bullet seemed to have just obediently
fallen into his hand.
 Not only were the audience confused, but He Lao, who had been clamoring to
become his apprentice, quieted down, squatting on the ground and looking up at
Qingyun.

“First…First Heaven?” Patriarch Gu at this moment looked as though he had

Parkinson’s disease at this moment, shaking every part of his body, even his
hair, causing the stool underneath him to creak noisily.

Whether it be light buoyant footsteps, or avoiding blazing weapons, all of this

has now been explained! Qing Yun actually reached First Heaven…

What did he do before? Actually wanted to make his granddaughter snag a

First Heaven’s target? Patriarch Gu shivered.

By default, it was known in the ancient martial arts world that blocking blazing
weapons was only something that can be achieved by a First Heaven. Everyone
snapped out of it, and looked at Qingyun either with frantic enthusiasm or in
horror.

Nie Chenyuan walked to Qingyun, his eyes sweeping him from head to toe,
then relaxed. Although he knew that with Qingyun’s cultivation, it was not a
problem for him to avoid bullets, his heart couldn’t help but tighten at that
moment.

Qingyun looked back and kissed him, threw the bullet at him, and the two
walked down side by side.

Looking at the intimate back of the two currently, no one dared to say that
Qingyun was greedy for fame and wealth, or his motives impure.

What a joke, Qingyun was a First Heaven warrior. Which clan wouldn’t provide
for him, and what kind of wealth would he be vying for in the Nie clan? Then
there was borrowing Nie Chenyuan’s hand to get revenge for his father, did
Qingyun, who had more than enough to sweep across the ancient martial world,
really need it?

After drinking a few sips of hot tea, the few patriarchs in the private room
finally managed to calm down. Patriarch Gu endured it again and again, but still
couldn’t help pointing and yelling at Nie Songping: “You are really such an old
treacherous bastard, actually hiding a First Heaven within your home, and still
acting pitiful to fool all of us!”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Nie Songping chuckled twice, lightly begging for mercy, but
secretly clenched the armrest of the chair to stabilize his almost slipped body.**

**TN: So Nie Songping’s attitude was light as a cloud as he ‘begged’ for mercy,
treating the ‘begging’ as though it was nothing. However, his body almost
slipped off the chair in shock and he was clenching the armrest as a way to hide
that.

He only knew that Qingyun was a complete Pre-Heaven, he didn’t even know
when he broke through to First Heaven. Looks like the family had unknowingly
gained a First Heaven granddaughter-in-law, no, grandson-in-law, he also felt
helpless …

The ancient martial arts gathering ended very early, but when Nie Chenyuan
returned to the Nie residence, it was already late into the night. The lights in
Qingyun’s house had already been turned off.

He unbuttoned his collar and walked upstairs. The sudden appearance of a

First Heaven really was too much of a sensation. These people wouldn’t dare to
harass Qingyun, and his sneaky grandfather slipped away early. So Nie
Chenyuan had no choice but to stay and deal with this group of people together
with Mother Lin and Lin Yuhao.

This didn’t count as anything, it just so happened that He Lao somehow

accidentally managed to guess that Nie Chenyuan also managed to reach First
Heaven, so it took a lot of thought to fool him.

Just as he stepped on the last step and was about to go to Qingyun’s room,
he looked up and saw the old butler standing respectfully at the corner, reaching
out to block his way.

“Uncle Chen, why are you still here so late?” Nie Chenyuan frowned.

Steward Chen respectfully smiled at him, and said, “The master has ordered,
the young master must be monitored, and must not let you disturb Mr. Qing’s
rest.”

“……”

Nie Chenyuan gritted his teeth, who is his real grandson?

Qingyun noticed some movements by the window, and slowly opened his eyes
in the darkness only to see Nie Chenyuan crawling in through the window. He
reached out to turn on the light and looked at Nie Chenyuan with a frown. “How
come you’re coming in from there?”

A breeze blew in from outside the window, Qingyun could smell the faint scent
of wine from Nie chenyuan’s body,, his eyes immediately flashed unpleasantly:
“Go out, wash thoroughly and then come back.”
 Already having guessed his reaction earlier, Nie Chenyuan neatly took off his
clothes and threw them out the window. He has been the “bedroom guard***”
for more than a week, not to mention how the end of the ancient martial arts
gathering has delayed him all the way till the middle of the night. How could he
possibly still bear it?.

***TN: 独守空闺 – guarding the bedroom alone – looks like someone’s thirsty
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As he stripped, he suddenly chuckled, with a face full of nostalgia and

indulgence , “When we first met, you even helped take off my clothes. Now I can
only do it myself.”

Hearing this, Qingyun’s eyes flashed a smile, but then he raised his chin
proudly: “Oh, I remember you driving me away at first?”

Nie Chenyuan hurriedly rushed over asking for mercy.

Qingyun rolled his eyes unbearably, got out of bed, opened the door of the
bathroom, and pushed him forward: “Wash well, cleanly wash.”

Nie Chenyuan hugged him, bringing him into the bathroom together: “Then
you supervise me, we can wash together.”

Before long, the steam in the bathroom intensified, bits of ambiguous moaning
sounded followed by a groan and the sound of splashing water, a room of
pleasure.
Chapter 12

These days, the ancient martial arts forum exploded. Several popular posts on
the forum were related to Qingyun.

The first one was news that a First Heaven martial artist has appeared in the
ancient martial arts world. The second one was a little different from the usual
style used in this forum, the topic of the post being “What a Big White Lotus”.

The poster didn’t say anything, just edited two videos, one was Lin Yuhao
furiously scolding Qing Haolin and praising Mother Lin, and the other was a 70s
romance movie on the screen. It was even accompanied by several flushed
expressions of the audience below, vividly describing the face slapping spectacle
on the scene.

As soon as this post went up, it became hot. After all, not everyone went to
watch the ancient martial arts gathering, but rather many more rubbernecking
people were still immersed in Lin Yuhao’s lies. Everyone expressed one by one
that this world was really scary. You mustn’t stand behind the wrong team
otherwise you could get slapped accidentally.

Of course, it was also exposed that Mother Lin knew of Lin Yuhao’s intention to
kill Qingyun. In addition to a group of followers who worship military power,
Qingyun had more maternal fans. Lin Yuhao, this former star in the ancient
martial arts world, was now infamous on the Internet.

Nie Chenyuan’s relationship with Qingyun was even more celebrated. People
who once said that Qingyun had sold his body to avenge his father were all
ridiculed so much by their peers, they couldn’t lift their heads.

Qingyun sold his body? Now it is more credible to say that Nie Chenyuan
actually profited off this First Heaven Qingyun. But the strength of the two
should not be underestimated, thus such remarks were rare.

Qingyun came out from the inside wearing a tailored white suit, watching Nie
Chenyuan coldly swiping his phone, and couldn’t help but ask: “What’s wrong?”

Nie Chenyuan looked up, abruptly unable to move his eyes.

This was Qingyun’s first time wearing a suit. Usually, Qingyun always wore
white loose practice garbs. Currently, the upper body of the suit immediately
outlined his figure more impeccable, even more so that arc of his waistline.
Seeing this, Nie Chenyuan’s mouth became dry.
 He tossed his phone, stood up and hooked Qingyun’s waistline, pressed him
entirely onto the full-length mirror to kiss him. Although his actions seemed
fierce, they were actually gentle and thoughtful, making sure Qingyun didn’t feel
any sort of discomfort.

Of course, this was the result of Qingyun’s training. In the middle of being
affectionate, his neck would suddenly be pinched and thrown off the bed, or just
as they were french kissing, he would suddenly get punched in his lower
abdomen. Nie Chenyuan had encountered no small amount of these things. Over
time, he learned to be good, knowing that Qingyun must be served comfortably.

Panting through his lips breathlessly, Nie Chenyuan lowered his head and
lightly bit his lips before watching Qingyun pretending to be aggrieved, “Today is
to obviously celebrate my victory, why are they all paying attention to you?”

Since Qingyun went up on behalf of the Nie family, in accordance with the
rules, Nie Chenyuan was still the final champion. Past champions had to host a
celebration banquet, this banquet was even livelier since no one from the major
clans was going to be absent.

The guests also brought two congratulatory gifts, one to celebrate Nie
Chenyuan’s victory, and one to be specifically handed over to Qingyun to
celebrate his promotion.

“What? You don’t want to?” Qingyun casted a sidelong glance at him. At this
point, his eyes were slightly red, his coldness having receded, bringing out some
charm that could captivate one’s soul.

This look caused Nie Chenyuan to barely hold himself back.

He forced himself not to kiss any more, but slightly withdrew his body and
panted quietly: “Of course I don’t want to, I wish I could meticulously hide you,
not show a single bit to those outsiders.”

Looking at those Internet posts about clamoring to have Qingyun’s monkeys¹,

Nie Chenyuan wished that he could climb through the ethernet cord and bite all
these delusional people to death

¹TN: babies

He lowered his head and gently kissed Qingyun’s forehead, saying softly, “I’m
going to go change, it’ll be time soon.”
 He couldn’t break his perfect plan because he couldn’t hold himself back right
now. Nie Chenyuan forcefully loosened his arm around Qingyun and turned to
walk inside.

Seeing his repressed look, Qingyun raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. How
come this kid seems so restrained today?

Nie Chenyuan changed his clothes, then both of them walked together to the
living room. The guests should have pretty much all arrived , they could hear
continuous streams of congratulations from the hallway.

As Qingyun walked, he suddenly paused, and fell one step behind Nie
Chenyuan, then continued to keep up after a second or two.

“What’s wrong?” Nie Chenyuan lowered his head and asked.

“It’s nothing.”

Just now in Qingyun’s soul, a huge amount of energy suddenly poured in. This
energy not only repaired the injuries he had previously sustained from running
away from the Heavenly Dao, but also directly raised his soul by one level.

Seemed like Qingyun didn’t guess incorrectly. What he had vaguely thought
previously was not reality. He had suspicions long ago, why did the Heavenly
Dao have a protagonist to control the direction of the world? Looked like it just
turned out to be all about plundering.

Qingyun destroyed the protagonist Lin Yuhao’s upgrade route, and thus
naturally robbed this world of its energy. He looked towards the vacant space,
this was his game with the Heavenly Dao.

Lin Yuhao was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide, and
Zhang Jingguo, who provided him with the murder weapon, was relieved of his
title as Chairman of the Ancient Martial Arts Association, and was also sentenced
to prison as an accomplice. Mother Lin was deprived of the property that
originally belonged to Qing Haolin due to marriage fraud and was sentenced to
ten years in prison, returning everything back to Qingyun.

Qingyun’s mission in this world has been completed. If he wanted to leave, he

could leave immediately.

He glanced sideways at that bit of expectation hidden within Nie Chenyuan’s

eyes. His heart jolted, faintly guessing what he was going to do today. His eyes
briefly flashed a tendril of tenderness.

Forget it, he was not short on time, so why not accompany him in this life.
 In the living room, Nie Chenyuan requested to part with Qingyun, walked into
a corner, and grabbed a disciple asking, “Where are the flowers? Have they been
prepared?”

“No problem! Everything’s ready, we were afraid Mr. Qing would find out so
they’ve been placed in the back.”²

²TN: 怕被卿先生所以都放在后面 <- I think the author missed two words in the raw
but I’m pretty sure it’s missing the words 发现 (finding out)

Nie Chenyuan nodded solemnly. He touched the square box in his pocket, and
drew in a breath of air to relieve his tension.

He made sure that there were no mistakes in the arrangement, before

reassuringly going to look for Qingyun.

However, when Nie Chenyuan saw the person next to Qingyun, his expression
immediately turned severe. Is this woman looking to have conflict with him? She
was there on the day of his confession, and now even running over to disrupt
when he’s about to propose!

Currently, Qingyun couldn’t decide whether to cry or laugh as he watched the

bawling man crying in front of him. This person was called Wang Shu and his
father was Qing Haolin’s junior martial brother. Back then, the two apprenticed
together under a, who was originally thought deceased, Complete Pre-Heaven
martial artist as their master. Feelings were very harmonious. When Qing Haolin
met with mishap, Wang Shu was the only one who supported him.

However, the Wang family had always sided with the Ancient Martial Arts
Association and stood by Lin Yuhao. Therefore, Wang Shu was suppressed in all
sorts of ways within the family, basically placing him under house arrest near
the end. Wang Shu’s proposition to adopt Qingyun was rejected several times.

“Good … good child! If Haolin knew of this he would be so proud of you.” Qing
Yun patted his shoulder in consolation. In a sense, Wang Shu was also the only
real elder in Qingyun’s life.
 On the side, Wang Miaoyun’s father led Wang Miaoyun to stand next to
Qingyun. He saw Qingyun’s face softened and immediately pushed Wang
Miaoyun over: “Qingyun, you haven’t seen Miao Miao for a long time, why not
have a good talk between you two unmarried people?”

So now the marriage contract gets brought up. Seeing his brother like this,
Wang Shu’s face turned red in anger, wanting to scold him immediately in front
of the juniors. It was Qingyun who pacified him before he gave up the thought.

Qingyun faintly looked at Wang Miaoyun. Even though she had applied
makeup meticulously, she still couldn’t hide the ghastliness on her face. It
seemed that the incident involving Lin Yuhao really dealt her a heavy blow.

But even so, she faced Shang Qingyun’s gaze and hooked her lips into a smile,
obviously accepting of the family’s arrangements.

Behind him, even from ten meters away, Nie Chenyuan’s sourness could still
be detected. Qingyun smiled, his gaze swept over Wang Miaoyun’s lower
abdomen, took and sipped a glass of champagne, then said to Wang Miaoyun’s
father, “Looking at the complexion, your precious daughter has been pregnant
for more than two months, it’s best not to touch any alcohol. “

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Miaoyun’s father’s face was filled with
disbelief, but Wang Miaoyun’s eyes were only a little startled, apparently she
already knew that she was pregnant.

This woman sure had calculated well, approaching him with Lin Yuhao’s child,
did she want to play out a revenge drama?

Qingyun said to Wang Miaoyun: “It just happened that my elder brother is now
disabled, it should be considered good that you can leave an heir for him.”

Hearing how Qingyun could still call Lin Yuhao brother without any worries
right now, Wang Miaoyun’s father’s fear of Qingyun grew even deeper. Wasn’t
Lin Yuhao’s imprisonment and disability single handedly caused by Qingyun?
 He awkwardly smiled towards Qingyun and pulled Wang Miaoyun away with a
dark face.

The Wang family will not have this child. After all, whether or not he ends up
having close relations with Qingyun, they must never become enemies.

Wang Shu straightened his neck, refusing to leave with the Wang family.
Right then, Nie Chenyuan, who had been watching this whole play, ran over, and
asked someone to invite Wang Shu away, pulling Qingyun closer, and kissed
him on the earlobe.

“Satisfied?” Qingyun gave him a cool look.

Nie Chenyuan smiled softly in his ear and talked softly, while unnoticeably
taking the person toward the middle of the living room.

After walking to the middle of the living room, the surrounding lights suddenly
darkened, and a beam of light shone on Qing yun. It wasn’t known when Nie
Chenyuan, who was originally beside Qingyun, had disappeared but he had now
shown up with a large bouquet of red roses in hand as he walked towards him.

There was a smile in Qingyun’s eyes as he watched him walk to his side, and
knelt on one knee.

Nie Chenyuan looked up at Qingyun’s unusually handsome face under the light,
and suddenly regretfully found that he had forgotten that long list of marriage
vows he had memorized. There was a trace of distress on his face as he frowned,
holding Qingyun’s fingertips and kissed: “Baby, I suddenly forgot what I wanted
to say to you?”

“But you can see what I want to do right?” He held up the bouquet in his hand,
two men’s rings laid atop.
 “Then can you promise me? Give me a vow, marry me?” Nie Chenyuan even
flashed a tendril of pleading in his eyes. In actuality, there has always been a
kind of uneasiness in his heart recently, fearing that upon waking up one day,
Qingyun would be gone from his side. Waking up a few times basically every
night to check if the person was still in his arms.

“Marry?”³ Qingyun raised an eyebrow, and asked him unhappily.

³TN: So in Chinese there’s two characters for marrying. One is marrying into a
family (usually the female marries into the male family) and the other is
marrying someone (so the male marries the female and brings her into the
family) In this case, it was the first one…so it sounded like Nie Chenyun would
be the one wearing the pants in the family.

“It’s me marrying you, I’m marrying you!” Nie Chenyuan immediately kneeled
down on both knees and hugged Qingyun’s thigh, panically adding. When the
surrounding guests saw this, they all smiled in kind. Nie Songping also smiled,
but he was scolding Nie Chenyuan inside, this stupid boy, actually marrying
himself off so decisively.

Arc 2. Sticky Golden Thigh
Chapter 13

Ten years later.

Mother Lin was released from prison.

Mother Lin’s name was Lin Yuxia. She had known that she was beautiful since
she was a child, and she knew even more that such things as looks were just an
accessory to seize the people’s hearts. When she married Lin Yuhao’s father, it
was naturally because he was obedient to her, but what was the use of being
obedient? Incompetence is still incompetence.

So when Qing Haolin showed up, she grabbed him like a lifeline, made him think
she’d been abused for years, and used his soft-hearted trait to capture him.

Eighteen years later, Lin Yuhao suddenly appeared, and Lin Yuxia was taken
aback. But seeing Lin Yuhao’s attitude towards her, she suddenly thought of the
lies she had told before divorcing his father. When she looked at Lin Yuhao, she
knew what he wanted. He wanted a reason to break into the ancient martial
world.

When one wanted to go to high places, the choice wasn’t that difficult. Lin Yuhao
wanted to use her as a reason to make a name for himself, and she had long
since been dissatisfied with being the wife of the Head of a second-rate family.

Even though she knew that the lie back then probably wouldn’t last long, does it
matter? This was just what was in the interest of both of them. The lie would
remain forever and even become the truth.

But the one who surprised her the most was Qing Yun, the child who was almost
made stupid by her.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxia looked up at the man in a suit in front of her, who was
once the heir and now the Head of the Nie family. It was widely rumored that his
cultivation had also reached First Heaven. Instead of developing his power in the
Ancient Martial Realm, Nie Chenyuan made a significant transformation to bring
the Nie family into the business world.

Time had not left any traces on the man, only making his temperament settle
into a more dangerous one. However, for such a dangerous man, he actually
smiled like a child when he made a phone call.

His words faintly mentioned Qing Yun’s name. Lin Yuxia’s heart was moved; they
were still together? She looked at Nie Chenyuan and slowly smiled.

Nie Chenyuan hung up the phone and went to sit down across from Mother Lin.

“You can’t hurt me.” Lin Yuxia smiled and looked at her hands that had become
rough from ten years in prison, “I’m Qing Yun’s mother, so you can’t hurt me.”

Unexpectedly, the man in front of her turned cold and said, “It’s because you’re
his mother that I can’t let you go.”

Lin Yuxia was startled.

“Even if he doesn’t care, I can’t forgive you for hurting him.”

Mother Lin and Lin Yuhao never appeared in front of Qing Yun ever again. He
accompanied Nie Chenyuan in this world for nearly two hundred years and used
these years to thoroughly learn all kinds of modern knowledge.

What surprised him was that after Lin Yuhao, the main character’s plan was
disrupted. Although he and Nie Chenyuan were promoted to First Heaven, they
did not interfere too much in world affairs. The world turned out to be heading
down a completely different path from the original. With extreme technological
development, the ancient martial arts slowly declined.

Looking at Nie Chenyuan’s old and peaceful face, the last of the warmth in Qing
Yun’s eyes slowly dissipated as Nie Chenyuan’s life passed away, and his entire
body returned to its original cool demeanor.

Qing Yun’s body also slowly fell beside Nie Chenyuan, and at the same time, a
white-clothed figure once again appeared in a hidden crack in the void.

This rift was a place that Qing Yun had opened up with the help of the energy he
had absorbed from the previous world. Beyond this rift, there was the Heavenly
Dao everywhere.

A ball of light shone at Qing Yun’s fingertips, slowly forming a complete sphere.

Qing Yun narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised. This was, surprisingly, the
world he had previously left from. He did not expect that what he had snatched
from the protagonist was not only energy but also ownership of this world!

Focusing on this flashing ball of light, the corner of Qing Yun’s mouth curled up
in a malicious smile. This was considered the first thing he had snatched from
the hands of Heavenly Dao.

But he’s not interested in what other people have used, so why not just destroy
it?

Pure cruelty spilling out of Qing Yun’s eyes, making him wonder if destroying the
world would bring him a little bit of extra energy at the same time?

Fingertips slowly pressed, almost crushing this ball of light. Suddenly the bits
and pieces of this world, someone’s pleasing smile, every care, and burning
emotions flashed in Qing Yun’s mind frame by frame…
Qing Yun frowned fiercely.

In the end, he let go of the world and let it float in this rift. He took a deep
breath to discard his thoughts and shifted his gaze to look outside his space.

A vast group of worlds appeared before Qing Yun’s eyes. Each world was linked
together like fruits, stretching into the invisible distance.

Without too much haste, Qing Yun stayed in the rift for close to a hundred years.
Only after completely absorbing the energy of the last world did he follow the
pull of his soul and escape into the next world.

The pungent smell of perfume, the screams of a woman.

When his fingers touched the greasy skin beneath him, Qing Yun immediately
couldn’t endure the physical disgust and straightened up.

This world’s information suddenly flooded into Qing Yun’s mind, causing his
already dizzy head to suffer even more pain. Qing Yun’s powerful soul then
quickly transformed the body he currently had.

This body’s name was Xiao Chengnuo, the second young master of the Xiao
Pharmaceuticals Group.

“Second Young Master…” seeing Xiao Chengnuo get up, the scream of the
woman under him came to an abrupt end, “You, aren’t you going to continue?”

The woman was a little embarrassed, and calculation flashed in her eyes. She
made sure that he had taken the drug. Earlier, Second Young Master Xiao was
like a wolf, but now he had withdrawn and calmed down.
If this doesn’t work…

“Secretary Miao, why are you in my room?” Qing Yun looked at the woman on
the bed with cold eyes. Something was wrong with his body; he was obviously
drugged. This woman is Xiao Chengnuo’s father’s secretary. Today was the
company’s annual meeting; Xiao Chengnuo couldn’t handle the alcohol, so
Secretary Miao sent him back to the hotel.

After a little thinking, Qing Yun knew the situation he was in now.

This was the protagonist’s trap for him again. He gave the drug to Xiao
Chengnuo, instructed Secretary Miao to bring him back to the room, and drag
him to the bed, to make the false illusion of r*pe. Xiao Chengnuo’s older brother
Xiao Chengzhe, the protagonist of this world, will soon come with his father to
“visit” this younger brother.

His stubborn and old-fashioned but expectant father would find out that his son
had r*ped his secretary less than two months after joining the company. Having
r*ped his secretary, he’d immediately throw Xiao Chengnuo out in a fit of rage.

“Second Young Master…you…you’re the one who dragged me in ah!” Secretary

Miao reacted quite quickly when she covered her face, sobbing. She was anxious
since the Young Master will soon bring the President over. Xiao Chengnuo has
not even taken off his pants, so how can she slander him?

Thinking so, Secretary Miao went to look at Xiao Chengnuo through her fingers.

The Second Young Master Xiao, who has just been drugged, and had reacted
strongly before, now seems to be even calmer than her.

She had given him a good dose of the drug. Is there something wrong with
Second Young Master Xiao?
“Oh, then you can go.” Qing Yun gave her a stern look.

Go? How is she going to get money from the boss for this?

“Second Young Master, how can you be like this? I…I was…but you…” Secretary
Miao opened her eyes wide and looked at Qing Yun, tears falling down her face.
She was good at dealing with a fresh college graduate like Xiao Chengnou.

“Oh? What did I do to you?” Qing Yun lowered his head and tugged on the
button of his collar. Secretary Miao had given him too much of the drug, so it
would take some time to clear up completely. He was only conscious now, but
his body still wasn’t quite right.

Secretary Miao choked. Even if she wanted to say something, Second Young
Master Xiao hadn’t really done anything to her. The two just fell on the bed, and
Xiao Chengnuo bounced up like a spring. At this time, Secretary Miao’s hair was
just a little messy.

She looked at the man in front of her with a slightly open collar and a long jade
body. It was inexplicably attractive, and she suddenly had a change of mind. It
was not possible to do the things that Young Master Xiao ordered. Still, it would
be good to take advantage of Second Young Master Xiao. When the old-
fashioned President Xiao arrives later, she might even be able to marry into the
Xiao family.

Thinking like this, Secretary Miao braced herself and pounced towards Qing Yun,
who unexpectedly dodged sideways. Secretary Miao fell to the ground.

“Click”

The door opened.

Looking at Secretary Miao, who was lying on the ground, Xiao Chengzhe’s smile
stiffened, and all of his prepared words got stuck in his throat.

But he immediately reacted and shouted in alarm, “Secretary Miao, Xiao Nuo,
you…”

Xiao Chengzhe said as he gave a subtle wink towards Secretary Miao.

Secretary Miao understood, lying on the ground, and once again started crying.
She cried while squirming on the floor, which made the straps of her dark red
evening dress fall. At first glance, she appears to have been ravaged…carrying a
devastating look.

Xiao Chengzhe was full of embarrassment and made a gesture to close the door.
However, a pair of strong hands braced on the door and slowly opened it.

“Dad!” Xiao Chengzhe looked at the visitor, and then at Xiao Chengnuo, who
was standing in the room with an unreadable expression.

“What are you blocking? Can it be blocked!” Father Xiao walked in with a black
face, and his tone was ironclad. He looked at Xiao Chengnuo with a grim
expression and immediately wanted to beat this evil son on the spot.

“President…President…the Second Young Master…” Secretary Miao half propped

herself up and looked at Father Xiao with messy hair and seemed to be
speechless from pain.

“Chengzhe, quickly take Secretary Miao to deal with!” Father Xiao hurriedly
moved towards Xiao Chengzhe.

Xiao Chengzhe dutifully picked up Secretary Miao and sent her into the
bathroom, his downcast eyes faintly flashed with smugness.
Qing Yun swept a glance at him. As the young master of the Xiao family, why
would Xiao Chengzhe frame Xiao Chengnuo? Because Xiao Chengzhe was only
adopted, his real name was Cheng Zhe. He was the son of Father Xiao’s partner.

When Father Xiao and his partner had a disagreement, the partner drove home
in a rage and was involved in a car accident, leaving behind his son, who was
still in kindergarten. Father Xiao felt guilty, so he adopted Cheng Zhe.

However, Cheng Zhe ultimately blames Father Xiao for his father’s death. He has
no sense of belonging to the Xiao family at all. His goal was to get rid of Xiao
Chengnuo and get the Xiao family in his name.

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Chengnuo, who was standing there with absolutely no
remorse. He was absolutely furious and raised his hand to slap him.

Qing Yun turned his head sideways to dodge it, narrowing his eyes at Father
Xiao, who was blaming him without a second thought.

Father Xiao, who started from scratch, looked forward to his son’s success and
was very strict with Xiao Chengnuo. Xiao Chengzhe saw this, so he brought Xiao
Chengnuo as the type of man that Father Xiao disliked the most. Xiao Chengnuo
had done unpleasant things like forging report cards, racing cars, and making
trouble.

Xiao Chengnuo was not a fool, but he actually treats Xiao Chengzhe as his
brother. Xiao Chengnuo tries to attract Father Xiao’s attention, but he gets
frustrated repeatedly under Xiao Chengzhe’s guidance.

However, Xiao Chengzhe’s disguise in front of Father Xiao is perfect, making

Xiao Chengnuo’s disgrace even more apparent.

“You’re still avoiding! You’ve only been in the company for a short while, and
you’ve done such a humiliating thing. How do you want me to explain this to
Secretary Miao?” Father Xiao glared at him, but the more he spoke, the more
helpless he became. This second son of his always let him down, and this time
he even stepped on Father Xiao’s bottom line.
Chapter 14

Xiao Chengzhe was aware of Father Xiao’s temperament and knew that he
couldn’t stand a man who couldn’t control his lower half. So in one fell swoop,
Chengzhe got rid of Xiao Chengnuo from the Xiao family.

“Aren’t you going to ask me? You’re just going to convict me on the word of an
outsider just like that?” Qing Yun looked up without flinching at Father Xiao’s
gaze. Because of such an attitude of Father Xiao, Xiao Chengnuo was pushed
into the abyss by Xiao Chengzhe.

“The facts are in front of me. I’ll see them for myself, so why are you trying to
argue?” Father Xiao’s fingers were trembling with anger.

“Why should I admit to something I didn’t do?” Qing Yun also grinned in anger.
This father was like this; it was no wonder Xiao Chengnuo would rather trust his
honey-tongued brother.

Xiao Chengzhe was free and ran over to console him, “Xiao Nuo, you should say
less.”

Upon hearing that, Qing Yun looked at him deeply. When Xiao Chengnuo had
been slandered in the past, Xiao Chengzhe had often consoled him like this as
well. The obedient Xiao Chengnuo would not talk back and consented to what
was thrown at him.

But Qing Yun couldn’t stand it.

“Listen, I haven’t touched that woman one bit, and if she wants to testify against
me for rape, I’ll accompany her at any time.” With that said, Qing Yun turned to
look at Xiao Chengzhe, “Just to find out who drugged me.”

Xiao Chengzhe and Secretary Miao in the bathroom were stunned. The Second
Young Master Xiao, who had never been very clear in his mind, why was he so
alert now?
After saying that, Qing Yun walked out. As he walked, he turned and said
casually, “By the way, just to give you a heads up, I like men, not women.” So
the next time you set me up, go easy.

He seemed to be saying this to Secretary Miao, but Xiao Chengzhe’s heart was
on edge.

Like men?

Father Xiao completely ignored the point of the words; his head was now full of
ignited explosives. He pointed at Xiao Chengnuo and shuddered for a moment:
“You, you…get out of here!”

Then Qing Yun moved, he seemed to go away, but in fact, he cut off a trace of
his consciousness and carefully attached it to the main character, Xiao Chengzhe.

This world didn’t have any special powers, so there were more restrictions on
Qing Yun, and he couldn’t help but be cautious.

Qing Yun went to the bathroom in the hotel lobby and carefully washed his
hands. Even after passing through the last world, Qing Yun’s habit of being clean
was not any better. He had never been able to accept physical contact with
others, except for Nie Chenyuan.

Splashing cold water on his face, Qing Yun shook his head to expel Nie
Chenyuan’s image from his mind. The effects of the drug hadn’t worn off yet,
and the throbbing feeling in his body had reminded him of that man easily.

However, it had passed.

Nie Chenyuan’s soul would always reincarnate in the previous world, while he
would go on to other worlds, one world at a time until he was strong enough to
destroy the Heavenly Dao.

Wiping his hands clean, Qing Yun turned to head outside but accidentally
bumped into someone.

Zou Chen looked gloomily at the youth who had almost completely crashed into
his arms. Before he could reprimand him, he was interrupted by a turmoil in his
heart.

Qing Yun also looked a bit startled. He only felt that he was surrounded by an
unusually familiar aura, even bringing him a sense of time and space
disorientation.

There was only one person who could make Qing Yun feel familiar.

Was it him? Qing Yun reached out and grabbed the collar of the person in front
of him and sniffed close, followed by a small sneeze.

He unconsciously raised his chin, revealing the arrogant, haughty expression he

had when dealing with his lover: “I don’t like this perfume, change it.”

Zou Chen’s complexion changed a few times; his temper has always been bad.

This youth crashed into his bosom, pulled at his collar, and sneezed, but he
couldn’t raise any unpleasant feelings. Instead, pleasure surged through his
heart like a volcanic eruption. Listening to Qing Yun’s overbearing words was
just lovely.

Sighing inwardly, whether or not he was possessed, a crack appeared in Zou

Chen’s comparably dark face, from which a bubbling tenderness emerged.
“Hmm? What’s the matter?” He lifted the chin of the youth in his arms and asked
softly. The youth’s cheeks were flushed with a strange flush, and his breathing
was abnormally hot.

Zou Chen was knowledgeable and immediately understood what kind of situation
the youth was in. His brows furrowed, and his already harsh face took on a
slightly frightening look.

“Someone drugged you? Who is it?” It was said as if he was going to shred that
person into pieces.

The fingers he used in squeezing Qing Yun’s chin applied a slight amount of force,
but then he was afraid of causing the youth pain and immediately relaxed his
strength.

Qing Yun, however, sobered up due to the momentary stabbing pain in his jaw,
his eyes slowly focusing. Zou Chen’s long-standing and harsh brows were
reflected in his eyes, and Qing Yun immediately frowned, breaking free of the
man’s hold.

“I’m sorry, I’ve mistaken you for someone else.” The tone turned cold for a
moment.

Seeing this, the traces between Zou Chen’s eyebrows furrowed even deeper as
he reached out to hug the youth’s waist, but it was easily avoided by Qing Yun.

No one ever dared to reject him like this.

But Zou Chen couldn’t get angry, or rather, he couldn’t afford to be angry. The
bottomless tolerance for this young man was simply like it was engraved on his
soul, and it was unleashed without reservation upon seeing him.

“Are you alright?”

“I’m okay, sorry.” Qing Yun nodded at him and walked out. This man was not
easy to provoke at a glance. He hadn’t even dealt with the Xiao family’s mess,
and it would be terrible to be provoking other forces.

But Qing Yun didn’t worry too much; it was just the initial difficulties. He was
never afraid.

Zou Chen wanted to say something while he was at it but was interrupted by the
vibrating phone. When he saw the message on the phone, his face returned to
its initial cold hardness, or even worse.

He locked onto Qing Yun’s back and took two steps to catch up, slipping a
business card to Qing Yun: “My contact information.”

In the end, he added, “Take care of yourself.” Only then did he turn around and
reluctantly leave.

Zou Chen was in a good mood today.

This was the consensus of everyone at the banquet, but no one dared to
approach. As the president of the Zou Consortium, he was deeply rooted in the
people’s hearts with his wealth, but his temper was terrible. Not to mention the
bloody storm during the Zou’s power transition back then. Even now, it was not
uncommon for a person to be inadvertently crippled by Zou Chen.

The Zou Consortium is a giant that is dominating throughout China. Zou Chen
was able to win the family struggle and secure the position of the Zou family’s
Head. Naturally, he had the capital for his bad temper.

However, this Zou family Head who made everyone at the banquet cautious,
where they even lowered their voices to talk and laugh, was now unsettled.
Had he gone too fast? He didn’t even ask the young man’s name.

Now, it’s been over an hour since he left, and the youth still hasn’t called him!

He shouldn’t have let him go and should have just let him stay in his arms. Zou
Chen’s eyes became dark and sunken, and then slowly surfaced some
helplessness. How could he be willing to force that little guy?

He sighed under his breath and drank the wine out of his glass.

Waving the secretary over, Zou Chen said in a deep voice, “Check all those
people who checked into the hotel today.”

After saying that, he was a little unsure and added with a frown, “…and check all
of the ones from last week.”

After the banquet, Zou Chen walked out of the hotel. Suddenly, he froze for a
moment and turned to look at the trash can by the door. A folded bronze
business card was stuck on the edge of the trash can, glowing under the light. It
was clear that the former owner didn’t even care about throwing it.

Zou Chen Chen pursed his lips.

What a disobedient little thing.

Qing Yun didn’t go back to the Xiao family for the New Year. He just made
Father Xiao angry and came out of the closet. Now, if he goes home, he will
probably lose his two legs.

Fortunately, Father Xiao was so angry that he forgot to freeze Xiao Chengnuo’s
assets, so Qing Yun has been enjoying himself for the past few days.
He took advantage of his free time to learn more about the Xiao family’s
property in detail, not that Qing Yun was planning to fight Xiao Chengzhe. Qing
Yun has always been arrogant as can be and doesn’t bother to fight with the
protagonist.

What’s more, Nie Chenyuan’s industry in the previous life was so prosperous
that Qing Yun, the “President’s wife”, simply looked down on the Xiao family.

Closing the file in his hands, Qing Yun rubbed his brows, but the smile on his lips
was malicious. Qing Yun was more curious about what Xiao Chengzhe’s face will
be like when he finds out that he still has nothing after all the effort he put into
stealing Xiao company from him.

At this time, students have long been on vacation. The faculty and staff are
almost gone, leaving only a few students left behind.

Zhao Bowen is one of them. At this moment, he was cowering under the corridor
of a small shop, munching on pancakes and fruit.

The sound of stepping on snow rang out, eventually spreading to Zhao Bowen’s
side.

Looking up at Qing Yun, who was only wearing an overcoat in front of him and
was simply out of place in the northern winter, Zhao Bowen took a bite of the
hot sausage and shivered on his behalf.

Qing Yun stopped in front of him without going any further.

Zhao Bowen lowered his head to nibble on the pancakes for a moment before
realizing something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “You…are
looking for me?”
He looked at the other suspiciously, apparently unable to guess the reason why
the well-dressed gentleman in front of him came looking for him. Zhao Bowen
was a doctoral student at Yan Cheng University and had been robbed of a
project he had applied for this year. He’d been slumped in his dorm for a long
time with a broken heart.

Today was the first time he ran out of school to look for food.

Qing Yun learned to crouch on the steps but avoided the greasy pancake fruit in
Zhao Bowen’s hands, so there was a distance between them.

“Want to join my biopharmaceutical company?”

Zhao Bowen looked at Qing Yun with a slight surprise; he pondered for a
moment and asked not about the salary but, “What’s the direction?”

“Fight cancer.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bowen instantly sneered, and the pancake crumbs in his
mouth sprayed out half a meter away.

In recent years, pharmaceutical companies have been leaning toward fighting

cancer. Still, even the world’s top research institutes haven’t come up with
anything. A pharmaceutical company taking one as its main focus is purely brain
dead.

Zhao Bowen’s talent was so broad that he could see more thoroughly in this area,
but he didn’t say anything, just shook his head.

Doing scientific research was the path that Zhao Bowen initially chose, but this
year’s project was robbed, so he was discouraged in the end. Now that a man
suddenly appeared in the middle of the night to invite him, he thought it was
some kind of chance, but now it seems that it was purely a rich dude who was
playing around.

Qing Yun looked at him, didn’t explain, and just handed him a pile of documents.

Zhao Bowen casually glanced without even meaning to. Yet, it made him pause,
even forgetting to chew the pancakes and fruit in his mouth.
Chapter 15

Zhao Bowen ignored the grease stains on his hands. He raised his hands to take
the information almost with force and looked over it seriously.

Seeing that he was fascinated, Qing Yun didn’t rush him. He stood up and
handed him a business card: “You can decide after reading it.”

“N-no, N-no!!!”

Zhao Bowen pointed at the document in his hands with a shocked expression. As
his head shook, the crumbs in his mouth spewed straight out. However, he was
immediately attracted to the information.

Qing Yun smiled lightly, ignored him, and went back along the way he came.
This information covered the anti-cancer mechanism, pharmacological effect,
preparation method, and other aspects of an anti-cancer drug, and it was Qing
Yun who had these results.

It’s not that he’s accomplished much in the field of biomedicine, but Qing Yun
has been sick for nearly ten thousand years. The countless drugs he’s mastered
are excellent. Even though it was slightly limited in this world, with Qing Yun’s
ability, it wasn’t hard to connect some magical prescriptions with modern
medical knowledge!

The reason why he was looking for Zhao Bowen was to set up a shield for
himself.

After all, Xiao Chengnuo’s degree is in management, which is incompatible with

pharmaceuticals, so how could he come up with such amazing ideas.

According to the direction of the original world, it was Xiao Chengzhe who
discovered the genius, Zhao Bowen. He was grateful to Zhao Bowen, and even
more so, he used Zhao’s achievements in the field of medicine to advance his
company to a higher level, and officially enter into the world’s top 500.

Qing Yun found Zhao Bowen, but he didn’t just let him go by his own ideas. This
information was just a hint to Zhao Bowen. Qing Yun believed that with his
talent, he would do better and go further.

The snow was getting heavier, and Qing Yun was slowly becoming impatient.

Someone was following him.

When Qing Yun came out of his residence, he noticed that someone was
watching him, but he didn’t feel any malice and let it go.

But no matter if it was Father Xiao or someone else who sent them, this
behavior was enough to make Qing Yun unhappy.

Shaking off the snowflakes on the scarf, Qing Yun softly exhaled a breath of
white air and seemed to have the feeling to turn around.

A commercial vehicle came and stopped just beside Qing Yun.

The car window slowly lowered, revealing Zou Chen’s deep eyebrows as he
opened the car door for Qing Yun, “It’s cold outside. Get in, and I’ll give you a
ride.”

Qing Yun raised his eyebrows slightly with interest; it turned out to be this man.
After sweeping through the man’s cold and suppressed enthusiastic eyes, Qing
Yun suddenly realized it. He didn’t expect this man to be interested in him after
only one meeting.
But then again, he was at fault for being so confused that he even recognized
the wrong person.

“Forget it.” Qing Yun hung his eyes and shook his head, about to close the car
door.

Unexpectedly, the man reached out and grabbed Qing Yun’s wrist, pulling the
man into the car with a slight force.

Qing Yun’s eyes widened slightly; his body had been completely transformed, so
he was surprised that this man could catch him by surprise. Qing Yun’s heart
could not help but feel more cautious.

“Your hands are so cold, don’t you know how to wear something thicker?”
Surprised by the touch in his hand, Zou Chen frowned unhappily and reached
out to turn up the car’s air conditioning a bit more.

Qing Yun made a clever effort to free his wrist and looked at the man with
displeasure in his eyes, “Who are you?”

The person who was watching him closely today was probably related to this
man as well.

Hearing his question, Zou Chen held his forehead and laughed lowly, his deep
and pleasant voice echoing in the car, and the warm air of the air conditioner
made one’ ears perk up.

The displeasure in Qing Yun’s eyes deepened a little more.

“What? Is it really good to reveal the fact that you threw away my card in such a
manner, Second Young Master Xiao?” Zou Chen had laughed enough and leaned
back on the seat.
He was relaxed at the moment. God knows how grumpy he was before he met
the youth and how many glasses he broke. These days, the entire Zou Clan
knows that its president is sick again, and everyone has kept quiet.

As Zou Chen’s body stretched, the entire interior of the car was filled with his
domineering and gentle aura, which quickly invaded Qing Yun’s mind and stirred
up his nerves.

“Didn’t you also find out who I was without my consent?” Qing Yun gave him an
angry glance. He is now in a strange situation, knowing that this man should not
be underestimated. He always had his guard up, but all of his defenses crumbled
and collapsed at the man’s words.

This feeling of being out of control made Qing Yun extremely uncomfortable.

Zou Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled. He was so overbearing that he even
needed his permission to know a name?

“You’re starting a pharmaceutical company?” He suddenly said towards Qing Yun,

“Do you want me to help?”

Not only Qing Yun’s current plans, but also Xiao Chengzhe’s matter, Father
Xiao’s attitude, and Qing Yun’s situation in the Xiao family was clear to Zou Chen.
After all, with his status, nothing could be hidden from him.

“Oh? Is it really a good idea to reveal the fact that you spied on me in such a
way?” Qing Yun’s eyes swept over with a cool look, and his mouth was as vicious
as his words.

“Zou Chen, my name.” Without a hint of displeasure at all, instead, he added to

him at the right time. He explained gently, “This isn’t surveillance, I’m just
trying to protect and get to know you.”
Xiao Chengnuo’s apartment appeared, and the car slowed to a stop.

Qing Yun sneered, sharply opened the car door, and stepped into the heavy
snow.

He turned back and dropped his eyes to the man behind him, “I don’t like people
meddling in my business. Take back your people.”

“Bang!”

The car door slammed shut in front of Zou Chen’s eyes, presenting a gesture of
rejection like Qing Yun’s words. He frowned in annoyance; this was the first time
in his life that he had encountered such a troublesome situation.

Zou Chen, who had been in a high position for a long time, was used to having
all sorts of things under control, so he didn’t feel that he was doing anything
wrong. As long as Qing Yun wants it, he can offer Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals to him
tomorrow.

But remembering the displeasure mixed with disgust in the eyes of Qing Yun, he
hesitated.

The cold snowflakes poured into Qing Yun’s neck. Then, he remembered that he
had left his scarf in the car, but he wasn’t about to go back for it, even though
he knew the car was still parked behind him.

In the last world with Nie Chenyuan, it was just that Qing Yun was suddenly
younger and curious to try it once. Qing Yun himself was surprised to be able to
end up with Nie Chenyuan. But he is not prepared to fall in love in every world
and be stuck with someone for the rest of his life.

After all, the powerful Heavenly Dao was like a butcher’s knife that was always
hanging over Qing Yun’s head.
Traveling from world to world, this was more like escape and revenge than a
vacation for Qing Yun.

Qing Yun felt a little cold, and he breathed hot air into his palm, frowning
unconsciously. If he hadn’t left his car at the Xiao residence, he wouldn’t have
met the man today.

The days flew by.

It has entered the second half of the lunar month, Qing Yun was still busy. Xiao
Chengnuo has no money on hand. The registration of the company was finished,
but it can’t support the development of new drugs. So, Qing Yun has been
running to the stock exchange market recently, but the funds cannot be turned
around for a while.

Of course, in saying so, one must ignore the five hundred million that suddenly
popped up in his account.

Qing Yun knew that this was Zou Chen’s work, but he wasn’t going to touch it.
Qing Yun didn’t think that the man at the head of the Zou Consortium liked to be
charitable, and every single cent of the five hundred million was a clear
indication of the man’s intentions towards him.

What’s more, in the world’s original direction, Zou Chen is considered the
invisible golden thigh of the protagonist, Xiao Chengzhe. In the future, their
positions are likely to be opposite to each other.

A week after Qing Yun had met with Zhao Bowen, he finally received a call from
him.

The voice on the phone was tired and oddly excited: “This is a Nobel Prize level
achievement…and you’re just going to give it to me?”
On the other end of the line, Zhao Bowen had dark circles around his eyes. He
was like a madman, exclaiming, “I’d love to meet the man who wrote this! Does
his lab still take people? Can I get in?”

The night he saw this information, he already planned to agree to Qing Yun, but
he was addicted to the data and could not help himself. It was not until seven
days later when he finished reading it entirely that he thought of returning Qing
Yun’s call.

But he also felt a bit strange: “With such a skilled person helping you, you didn’t
need to come after me.”

“Don’t worry about that, just tell me if you want to enter my company or not.”
Qing Yun returned the call as he sorted out the papers on his desk.

“Yes! Of course, I do!” Zhao Bowen replied decisively.

“Okay, let’s make an appointment to get the contract signed after the year.”

The result wasn’t unexpected as Qing Yun hung up the phone and noticed the
person who had arrived at his place, his eyes widening in slight surprise.

“Mom, what are you doing here?”

Mother Xiao walked in with a thermos and looked up and down Xiao Chengnuo’s
place before poking her son’s forehead in a bad mood.

She had recently returned to her mother’s house on the eighth day of the lunar
month, so she didn’t know that Father Xiao and Xiao Chengnuo were at war
again. When she came back and found out that Xiao Chengnuo had been chased
away by his father again, she wasn’t too worried because Xiao Chengnuo was
chased away by Father Xiao almost every month on average. Mother Xiao was
used to it.

But this time, Xiao Chengnuo didn’t come home for nearly twenty days. Even
Father Xiao, who has been hard-hearted until now, didn’t let go. Only then did
Mother Xiao notice that things were getting serious, and even came looking for
Xiao Chengnuo.

“Come on, show your mom how much weight you’ve lost in the last few days.”

“Mom…” Qing Yun had no choice but to turn around in a circle following Mother
Xiao’s force.

Seeing that her son was still handsome, Mother Xiao put her mind at ease and
opened the thermos to pour out her soup: “Come on, mommy will make up for
you!”

She looked at her son, who sat down obediently with the soup, suddenly sighed
and asked: “What, is it that brother of yours that’s causing all this trouble again
this time?”

Qing Yun didn’t say anything but tacitly agreed.

Mother Xiao saw it more clearly than Father Xiao. When Xiao Chengzhe came to
the Xiao family, the couple had no children yet, so they treated Xiao Chengzhe
as their own. Later, when Xiao Chengnuo was born, they didn’t neglect Xiao
Chengzhe either.

But after all, women have delicate emotions. When she found out that Xiao
Chengzhe was bullying Xiao Chengnuo, who was still in elementary school,
Xiao’s mother couldn’t laugh or cry. She only felt that the child lacked love and
couldn’t help but cherish Xiao Chengzhe a little more.
However, Xiao Chengzhe didn’t stop, and as Xiao Chengnuo grew up, he went so
far as to encourage Xiao Chengnuo to race cars and even take drugs.

This completely stepped on Mother Xiao’s bottom line.

Her attitude towards Xiao Chengzhe also slowly changed, and she began to
remind Father Xiao.

But the more she took this attitude, the more Father Xiao felt that she was
prejudiced against Xiao Chengzhe and defended him even more. If it wasn’t for
Mother Xiao’s belief in Father Xiao’s character, she would have thought that Xiao
Chengzhe was his illegitimate son.

“You’re holding up pretty well this time.” Mother Xiao knocked Qing Yun’s head,
“Aren’t you going to go back?”

“Why should I go back when he’s bothering me so much?” Qing Yun’s words
sounded lost. Although Mother Xiao didn’t say anything, she looked at him with
an aggrieved expression.

“When I say return, you have to return!” She crossed her arms, “I’ll cut anyone
who tries to drive my son away.”

Afterward, she helped Qing Yun with her plans, “Your father’s 50th birthday
happens to be a grand event, so you should prepare a gift…”

Listening to Mother Xiao’s droning, Qing Yun could not help but smile a little.
Mother Xiao truly loved Xiao Chengnuo, and she was the only one who never
abandoned him in this world.

But because of this attitude of hers, after Xiao Chengzhe got the Xiao’s and
drove out Xiao Chengnuo, he didn’t spare Mother Xiao.
Even Father Xiao, who had always treated Xiao Chengzhe as his own, was
cheated out of his shares by his trickery. In the end, the two old people, who
have nothing, are driven out of the Xiao family.

But now, none of Xiao Chengzhe’s plans would be accomplished.

As the protagonist of this world, Xiao Chengzhe naturally had his own eyes and
ears in the Xiao family, and he had gotten the news almost as soon as Mother
Xiao left home.

At this time, he was staying in the private room of the club, his expression
unpredictable as he spun his phone. Father Xiao’s 50th birthday was in a few
days, and he had expected that Mother Xiao would take this opportunity to bring
Xiao Chengnuo back.

Thinking of this, his eyes couldn’t help but flicker with gloom.

The last rape incident was unsuccessful. He not only didn’t drag Xiao Chengnuo
completely down but also left a handle on that stupid woman Miao and wasted a
lot of his efforts. This made Xiao Chengzhe depressed; he had a feeling that
something was wrong. How could Xiao Chengnuo not go along with his plan?
How did it go wrong at that time?

A greeting came from the doorway, and a man with the word arrogance written
all over his body walked in.

When Xiao Chengzhe saw the visitor, his eyes lit up, and a plan floated to his
mind.

The visitor was the second young master of the Zou Family, the most favored
brother of Zou Chen, the Zou Clan’s head.
Chapter 16

The previous Zou family’s head was a womanizer, leaving behind countless
illegitimate children, but only Zou Qiyao had gotten the favor of Zou Chen.

Xiao Chengzhe and Zou Qiyao have different personalities, but after their first
meeting, they hit it off instantly and became hardcore brothers. In this world,
Zou Chen had an accident and handed over the massive Zou Consortium to Zou
Qiyao.

But Zou Qiyao, who only knows how to eat, drink and be merry, soon faced the
crisis of being seized by his uncles. Zou Qiyao had no choice but to seek help
from Xiao Chengzhe, who had already acquired the Xiao Pharmaceuticals.

Xiao Chengzhe, an outsider, made a strong entry into the Zou Consortium with
the support of Zou Qiyao, and soon became the actual head of the Zou’s.

Zou Qiyao, on the other hand, was happy to continue being his second ancestor.

With such a unique opportunity, Xiao Chengzhe officially stood on top of the
world. Xiao Chengnuo and his parents, who had “offended” Xiao Chengzhe, could
only live like rats in the gutter.

“Qiyao, why are you so late today?” Xiao Chengzhe greeted with a smile.

“Don’t mention it.” Zou Qiyao slammed his hat on the sofa, “My brother’s temper
is surprisingly bad these days, I have to be careful, don’t I.”

Seeing the situation, Xiao Chengzhe’s eyes flashed a dark light, and sighed. He
didn’t speak but just patted Zou Qiyao’s shoulder comfortingly.

“What about you? Why are you also dejected today? What happened?” Zou
Qiyao saw that Xiao Chengzhe looked bad and asked questions.
“Hey.” Xiao Chengzhe rubbed his face, seemingly helpless and depressed, and
only after a while did he hesitantly say in a muffled voice, “Qiyao, with our
relationship, there are things I can’t hide from you, or else I would be unkind.”

Zou Qiyao looked at him, puzzled.

“You should have heard some rumors. Those are correct; I’m just the adopted
son of the Xiao family. My brother hasn’t been treating me very well, and I’m
afraid that if he inherits the Xiao family in the future, I won’t have a way to live.
To have you as a brother with a person of my status, I’m really wronging you…”

Zou Qiyao was moved as he listened, the fact that Xiao Chengzhe could openly
tell him such a black history was enough to show his trust in him!

Xiao Chengzhe sighed and added, “Now, Xiao Chengnuo has been kicked out by
my father for openly coming out of the closet, and when he comes back…”

Zou Qiyao’s face changed color a few times and suddenly slapped his thigh,
“What are you afraid of? Just drive Xiao Chengnuo away, won’t that be enough?”

What he wanted was exactly what Qiyao said, Xiao Chengzhe was happy, but his
face was blank, “Expel? How can I drive him away when Chengnuo is my father’s
son.”

Zou Qiyao said excitedly to him, “Didn’t you say that Xiao Chengnuo came out of
the closet? Although your father is angry, he must be half-hearted, but what if
Xiao Chengnuo makes a scene in public…”

Zou Qiyao’s plan is simple: A few days later, at the banquet, he will openly
expose the scandal of Xiao Chengnuo, forcing men in the lounge. The upright
Father Xiao would definitely disinherit Xiao Chengnuo.
To ensure that things go smoothly, Zou Qiyao even intends to take the initiative
and let Xiao Chengnuo “force” him.

Zou Qiyao’s plan made Xiao Chengzhe bright; he didn’t expect that Zou Qiyao
had such a brain. Xiao Chengzhe thought more, the other day, there was still a
lingering effect of the incident with Secretary Miao. Another forced incident,
would not only confirm that Xiao Chengnuo is a genuine homosexual, but also
confirm his image as a sex hungry man in Father Xiao heart.

Not to mention….

Xiao Chengzhe’s hidden gaze swept over Zou Qiyao, even if it was to give the
Zou family an explanation, Father Xiao would not let Xiao Chengnuo go.

Qing Yun was at the mall, accompanied by Mother Xiao, picking out gifts for
Father Xiao. The conversation between Zou Qiyao and Xiao Chengzhe was
transmitted to Qing Yun through the consciousness he attached to Xiao
Chengzhe’s body.

The corners of his mouth tugged out an amused smile; these two had planned it
well, he was looking forward to the banquet in three days.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Father Xiao’s 50th birthday party was bustling. The Xiao family’s
pharmaceuticals have been gaining momentum in recent years, and Father Xiao
had made many good connections when he was young, so naturally, many
people came.

But the crowd at the banquet was still shocked by Father Xiao’s popularity
because the Zou Consortium’s CEO, Zou Chen, had arrived.
No one could have imagined that Father Xiao would have the face to attract this
god.

Everyone knows that Zou Chen is bad-tempered, and there was no need for him
to make friends in the industry with his status. As long as Zou Chen makes a
statement, there will be plenty of people rushing to befriend him. Because of this,
Zou Chen’s arrival surprised the crowd.

Seeing that Zou Chen had brought a gift to congratulate him, Father Xiao and
Xiao Chengzhe were also shocked and rushed forward to greet him.

After thinking about it for a second, Xiao Chengzhe attributed Zou Chen’s arrival
to Zou Qiyao. Otherwise, what is the explanation? The Xiao family has no
connection with the Zou family at all, and even if they did, they wouldn’t be able
to invite Zou Chen.

It’s better that Zou Chen is here, with him present, Xiao Chengnuo will never be
able to turn over a new leaf after today.

The people at the banquet changed their style immediately, and the loud voices
talking and laughing instantly weakened. Zou Chen’s got a temper that can be
described as unpredictable. No one wants to accidentally step on a mine.

The soft classical music echoed in the arena, and everyone was once again
silently assessing the Xiao family’s worth in their hearts and scratching their
heads, wondering how the Xiao family managed to have a relationship with Zou
Chen.

Everyone wanted to climb up to Zou Chen, the emperor of the business empire,
but none of them had the guts to do so.

You could tell by looking at the two-meter circle around Zou Chen that no one
dared to step forward and challenge Zou Chen’s nerves.
Zou Chen shook hands with Father Xiao with a pretty calm expression, causing
the crowd to mutter in their hearts. If it wasn’t clear that Father Xiao only had
two sons, looking at Zou Chen’s attitude, they would have wondered if he was
interested in the Xiao family’s daughter.

Zou Chen seemed to be patient and exchanging pleasantries with the Xiao
family’s father and son, but was actually slightly eager to search for Qing Yun’s
figure in the area.

He had thought that Qing Yun, as Father Xiao’s son, would be with him to greet
the guests at the banquet, but why was Father Xiao only with Xiao Chengzhe?

Zou Chen’s dark eyes swept over the smiling Xiao Chengzhe, thinking of the
things Xiao Chengzhe had planned the other day and couldn’t help his tyrannical
thoughts. That woman surnamed Miao had already been disposed of by him, but
Xiao Chengzhe had remained untouched.

After all, Qing Yun’s words of rejection were still hovering in his mind.

Xiao Chengzhe, who was stared at by Zou Chen, had a chill ran down his spine.
Secretly wiping his cold sweat, he couldn’t think of any other reason. He could
only attribute it to the rumors of Zou Chen’s terrible temper.

Qing Yun was indeed present but was standing at the very corner of the room.
He was leaning against the window drinking, waiting with interest for Xiao
Chengzhe’s good buddy, Zou Qiyao, to show up, not even knowing that Zou
Chen is present.

Earlier, when Father Xiao saw that Qing Yun was back, he pulled down his face
on the spot, apparently still angry. If it wasn’t for Mother Xiao’s request, he
wouldn’t have come back today.

Zou Qiyao appeared, he ate in the dining area as if nothing was happening for a
while, but his eyes swept over towards Qing Yun precisely.
As soon as he saw Qing Yun, his eyes lit up. He didn’t think that Xiao Chengzhe’s
younger brother was good-looking, so it wouldn’t be a loss even if he faked it
today.

Thinking like this, Zou Qiyao’s hand, which was sprinkling the drug powder,
trembled. He looked down and simply poured it all into the wine glass.

Sending a message to Xiao Chengzhe, Zou Qiyao placed his phone on the table
and walked over towards Qing Yun.

This was something he had discussed with Xiao Chengzhe. Later, Xiao Chengzhe
would excuse himself for not being able to reach him and take a group of guests
to look for him, just in time to crash the scene where Xiao Chengnuo was forcing
himself on him.

Qing Yun watched Zou Qiyao slowly walk towards him, and when he was two
meters away from him, Qiyao’s face suddenly changed. After taking two more
steps, he finally couldn’t help but hastily throw his wine glass on the table,
covering his stomach and running over towards the bathroom.

Seeing Zou Qiyao sweating like rain and hurrying on his feet, Qing Yun could not
help but laugh out loud in amusement. He shook the glass of wine and turned
around to head upstairs.

Zou Qiyao, who was allergic to seafood, may not have the energy to come out
and do something after eating the meal prepared especially for him by Qing Yun.

As for Zou Chen, who was standing in the middle of the banquet, he turned his
head and saw the long figure of the young man at the stairs, and immediately
chased after him.

As Qing Yun strode towards the lounge, he looked up at the markings on the
door and chose the one that Xiao Chengzhe and Zou Qiyao had discussed.
Qing Yun wondered what expression will be on Xiao Chengzhe’s face later when
he brings people in but finds only Qing Yun in the room.

Qing Yun still had a wry smile on his lips, but the door that was about to close
was blocked by a large, strong hand.

That hand slowly pushed, and Zou Chen squeezed in.

Looking at the man in front of him with deep brows and dark eyes, Qing Yun
widened his eyes in surprise and said, “Why are you here?”

In return, he was met with a strong hug from the man.

Zou Chen buried himself in the side of the youth’s neck and sniffed hard at the
youth’s scent. Only then did he feel the pain from the tightening of his heart
these days ease a little.

“I’ve missed you.”

The words in his ear were so low that they were hoarse, causing Qing Yun’s
heart to shrink.

The other day, Qing Yun’s rejection was like a sharp thorn pierced into Zou
Chen’s heart, torturing him to no end.

On one side, Zou Chen was frustrated because of Qing Yun’s rejection, and on
the other side, thoughts of him grew wild like weeds in his heart. But Qing Yun’s
disgust was the most terrible punishment for him, making him not dare to act
rashly, and even as nervous and uneasy as a brat.
He even felt like he was addicted to drugs and could only feel the joy of life
when he saw youth.

The people who were following Qing Yun had also been told by Zou Chen Chen
to withdraw back long ago. The past few days of not receiving any news about
Qing Yun, he felt like he was going crazy, that’s why he couldn’t wait to come
here today!

“I thought I’d made myself clear.” Qing Yun pursed his lips, his hands made a
pushing motion.

“No.” A trace of pain flashed between Zou Chen’s eyebrows as he withdrew his
body to look at Qing Yun, his gaze even mixed with some pleading, “I was wrong
earlier! I shouldn’t have asked anyone to follow you, but give me a chance,
okay?”

“We didn’t… uh!”

Zou Chen directly sealed his words with a kiss, blocking out Qing Yun’s
unexpressed rejection. Even the slightest harsh words that came out of the
youth’s mouth seemed to be no less than the cruelest torture to him.

They should have been most intimate with each other.

Zou Chen’s lips and tongue swept over Qing Yun’s mouth, the pain inside him
was as fierce as his movements, but in an instant, they turned into a bit of
tenderness.

The taste of the youth was a thousand times more wonderful than he had
imagined, Zou Chen couldn’t stop once he tasted it, and his entire body fiercely
hugged Qing Yun. The long-suppressed ** erupted like a volcano in an instant,
making him dizzy.
The overbearingly familiar scent entered Qing Yun’s mouth and nose, causing
him to open his eyes wide in surprise for a moment.

Is it him?

Looking at the message on his phone, Xiao Chengzhe smiled maliciously. He

then composed his expression and said to Father Xiao with a worried expression,
“Dad, I just went to check on him, Qiyao doesn’t know where he is… he just said
he’s not feeling well…”

When Father Xiao heard this, he was stunned. Zou Chen must have come here
to support his brother. If Zou Qiyao was involved in a mishap at their Xiao
family’s banquet, their entire Xiao family would immediately be finished.

“Ask the people at the door if the Second Young Master Zou has gone back.”

“I’ve already asked; they said they haven’t seen him go out, and I have been
looking for a while.” Xiao Chengzhe looked helpless.

Father Xiao stood up immediately, “Then what are you waiting for? Go find him!”
Chapter 17

“Dad, let’s get everyone together. After all, President Zou is still here, if we are
blamed for not giving our all… “Xiao Chengzhe looked grave. He looked around
the party for a moment, and then said, “Dad, if we stay together, we can talk
about it if something does happen.”

Father Xiao agreed to Xiao Chengzhe’s proposal after some deep thinking. Zou
Chen’s appearance had indeed put a lot of pressure on him.

“Second Young Master Zou may be a little unwell; I can’t reach him right now,
please help us find him! Please help us find him!” The microphone spread Xiao
Chengzhe’s voice throughout the party.

The crowd at the scene became agitated as soon as they heard this.

This was an excellent opportunity to show courtesy to Zou Chen!

Unaware of the crisis outside, the lounge is on the verge of… It’s on the brink of
a crisis.

Qing Yun turned his head to avoid Zou Chen’s kiss, whose lips and tongue
landed on the side of his ear and slid down along the base of his ear in the next
second.

“You…” gritted Qing Yun, tugging at the man’s tie to yank him away, he
questioned under his breath, “Say, who the hell are you?”

Why is he in this world?

Feeling the heat on his thighs, Qing Yun knew what it was even with his eyes
closed. The key was that as the man rutted, the scent around him grew stronger
and more familiar, a thousand times more familiar than it had been when they
first met.

The first time was accidental, but now?

The man gave a low chuckle, “Baby, that’s a lovely reaction from you, who am I?
I’m your lover if you want me to be.”

Zou Chen doesn’t know why the love for the youth in his heart was so deep and
so much as if it has been flowing for centuries. Seeing Qing Yun’s reaction, he
was ecstatic; Qing Yun had feelings for him, and he didn’t reject him.

Intense kisses fell again, in a way that Qing Yun was too familiar with.

“Everyone, come over here and take a look at each of the lounges one by one.”
Seeing that his goal was about to be achieved, Xiao Chengzhe simply couldn’t
suppress the smile on his lips, but when he looked back, he couldn’t even see
Zou Chen.

What a pity, if Zou Chen were here, it would probably be a little more exciting.
He could hardly wait to see how miserable Qing Yun would be later on.

The excellent soundproofing effect cut off the noisy corridor.

Qing Yun squinted his eyes, his gaze lost. The consciousness sent the news that
Xiao Chengzhe was approaching, but he had no time to care.

Every kiss that fell on his neck and every touch of the fingers in his hair easily
stirred up Qing Yun. Zou Chen was simply exceptionally familiar with his body,
while at the same time extremely understanding how to make him feel
comfortable.
Although it was unbearable to endure, Zou Chen didn’t take care of himself and
instead squatted down to try to please the youth.

He gently placed his hand on the zipper of Qing Yun’s suit pants.

With a “clang” sound, the door was slammed open.

A group of people roared in.

“It’s you…”

“Young Master?”

Everyone’s prepared speech was stuck in their throats, they looked at the Zou
Family Head, who was half squatting on Qing Yun’s hip, and they were as quiet
as if they had been struck by lightning.

An adult knows what this posture means. No one would have thought that the
moody, high-powered president of the Zou family would take such a humble
stance to please others.

Xiao Chengzhe was dumbfounded.

Father Xiao looked at the disheveled Xiao Chengnuo, and then at the squatting
Zou Chen, feeling deeply that he should pass out at this point.

Looking at the wave of people that suddenly appeared in the room, Zou Chen’s
face immediately turned dark and sullen.

“Get out!” He snapped low, angry as a lion who had found his territory invaded.
Zou Chen immediately stood up to fix Qing Yun’s clothes. In the end, he simply
took off his suit and put it over Qing Yun’s body, a protective gesture that was
beyond words.

Who would have thought that Qing Yun would not appreciate it? He bent his
knee and slammed it into Zou Chen’s lower abdomen.

Zou Chen was instantly bent over with a muffled grunt from the impact, but his
arm was still making an effort to hold on to the jacket covering Qing Yun’s body.
He turned his head to look at the crowd who still looked dumbfounded and
roared with unbearable anger, “Get out of here, all of you!”

The crowd woke up with a start and retreated back.

Qing Yun uncovered Zou Chen’s coat that was on his face. He quickly sorted his
clothes, an unprecedented shame surged in his heart. Zou Qiyao was not here,
but Zou Chen came instead. Even if it was someone else, it wouldn’t make any
difference to Father Xiao, okay?

What was most unbearable for Qing Yun was that he was so immersed in it that
he didn’t even notice Xiao Chengzhe’s arrival.

In other words, if Xiao Chengzhe hadn’t barged in with a group of people, who
knows what would have happened down there. The point is, Qing Yun and this
man had only seen each other three times counting today!

“Baby, I… “Zou Chen tugged at his clothes and opened his mouth to defend
himself, but he was interrupted by Qing Yun.

“Go away!” Qing Yun straightened his clothes and pushed the man in front of
him out of the way to go outside.
When he opened the door, it was already empty outside. The crowd outside the
door didn’t dare to stay there to bear the wrath of Zou Chen and had already
scattered in fright.

Zou Chen endured the pain and chased after him as he held onto the door frame
and shouted at Qing Yun, “Baby, it was just an accident! I promise it won’t
happen again…”

Hearing his shout, Qing Yun did not turn around and left a little faster instead.

This guy… Isn’t he embarrassing enough!

Seeing Qing Yun’s hurriedly departing back, Zou Chen leaned against the
doorframe instead and laughed lowly. Although Qing Yun’s attitude didn’t soften,
and though today’s incident was embarrassing to the extreme, Zou Chen’s heart
was about to fly with joy.

They had feelings for each other, so there was hope for him, wasn’t there?

Qing Yun calmed down as he walked. He frowned, recalling the scent he had just
noticed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Qing Yun had lived alone for
years, and with a severe cleanliness problem, he was extremely sensitive and
repulsive to the scents of others.

The only one who could enter his world without causing Qing Yun to resent it
was Nie Chenyuan.

But Nie Chenyuan couldn’t have followed him. The souls generated in one world
could only reincarnate in that world, never scurrying to other worlds.

Except for a particular situation like Qing Yun’s.

The hidden joy in his heart took over Qing Yun’s mind. He slowly exhaled,
putting this matter aside, there was still a pile of mess to be thrown at him later.

The people who just entered the lounge with Xiao Chengzhe all felt their legs go
soft. This time, they were walking around dazed and ultimately lost the energy
to look for Zou Qiyao.

They were looking for Zou Qiyao to sell Zou Chen a good deal before, but now
they’re afraid that they’ve offended someone so much that they won’t dare do
other things. Although the guests were all in a panic, no one dared to take
offense at the Xiao family’s father and son.

After all…

They can see clearly that President Zou went to great lengths to protect Xiao
Chengnuo, the second young master of the Xiao family.

Back in the lobby, Father Xiao and the others got the news that Zou Qiyao had
diarrhea and was picked up by an ambulance.

Xiao Chengzhe cursed in his heart: I knew that bastard Zou Qiyao couldn’t do it!

However, the others did not boast about the idea that the Xiao family had
offended Zou Qiyao. After all, the Second Young Master was not a bit inferior to
the real Zou family head.

Besides, it might be up to the Xiao family to redeem today’s mistake…

Everyone’s mind came alive and stood beside Father Xiao.

A CEO who had just negotiated a business deal with Zou couldn’t help it; he
brewed for a while and looked at Father Xiao and sighed, “Brother Xiao, you and
I have become friends for more than a day or two. You can get…”

Saying that, this CEO grabbed Xiao’s father’s hand and was literally about to
burst into tears: “You have to let this kid Chengnuo say something good for us!”

“It’s just that…”

“But it all depends on Second Young Master…”

“What Second Young Master says must be useful…”

For a time, the surrounding guests followed suit, forming an encirclement to

bombard Father Xiao and Xiao Chengzhe in the center.

Xiao Chengzhe almost couldn’t maintain the smile on his face.

Father Xiao, on the other hand, looked at his old friend, the corners of his mouth
twitching, but he didn’t pull out a smile.

“Okay, okay…” Father Xiao agreed helplessly, which finally pacified the guests.

After what had happened, it was difficult for the banquet to continue, and the
guests slowly left.

Zou Chen was the last to leave, and on his way out, he looked back at the Xiao
father and son behind him.
Until the end, he hadn’t seen Qing Yun again, which made him a little
disappointed. Zou Chen looked at Father Xiao’s face and sighed under his breath,
saying, “Today’s incident is my fault. Uncle, don’t blame Chengnuo.”

The words were gentle, but the superior’s pressure was exerted on Father Xiao
without restraint. Zou Chen called Father Xiao uncle all for the sake of Qing
Yun’s face, even though he was all kinds of dissatisfied with Father Xiao in his
heart.

Father Xiao’s mouth quivered twice, but he didn’t have the guts to put on a face
for Zou Chen, so he could only remain silent.

Having sent off all the guests, Father Xiao sat on the sofa with a slumped face,
and his body was hunched over as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

After a long moment of silence, he suddenly stood up and swept the drinks from
the table onto the floor.

The sound of shattering glass was piercing.

“Find…find me that wicked son!” Father Xiao slammed his fist on the table and
roared at the surrounding waiters.

“What do you want with me?” Qing Yun came down from upstairs at the right
time, his face cold. But the red mark on his neck was still there in plain sight,
making Father Xiao’s anger burn.

Mother Xiao, who already knew all about the situation, even ran to Qing Yun’s
side and made a protective gesture.

“What do I want with you?” Father Xiao glared and threw a glass towards Qing
Yun.
Qing Yun dodged sideways, but Mother Xiao screamed in shock, “Ah! Xiao
Yanming, what are you doing? Do you want to kill Chengnuo?”

She shielded Qing Yun behind her like a hen protecting her chick.

“I would have strangled him long ago!” Father Xiao’s eyes reddened, pointing at
Qing Yun, his fingers trembled, “You’re gay… Even if you’re gay, why are you
following the trend and climbing up to the rich and famous?”

“Is the Xiao family short of anything? You’re not satisfied but still want to take
on the Zou family?”

“With Zou Chen backing you up, I don’t need to take care of you, do I?”

Father Xiao’s words were so piercing that Mother Xiao’s entire body was stunned,
“You, how can you say that about Chengnuo?”

Hearing Father Xiao’s words, however, Xiao Chengzhe secretly quirked his lips.
Today’s incident was a bit unexpected, but the effect was surprisingly good.

“Is that what you’re thinking?” Qing Yun quietly looked at the shocked and angry
Xiao father. He suddenly pushed Mother Xiao away and pressed on the coffee
table in front of Father Xiao to watch him.

Qing Yun bit the words clearly: “You always imagine me in the worst possible
way!”

“Never even had the slightest good expectation of me!”

That’s how Xiao Chengnuo got further and further away from the Xiao family and
was eventually pushed into the abyss by Xiao Chengzhe.
Father Xiao was stunned by what Qing Yun said, and then his anger exploded at
Qing Yun’s attitude as he pointed at the door and yelled at him, “Get out! I don’t
have a son like you. You don’t deserve to be a member of my Xiao family!”

Qing Yun sneered, his eyes reddening, “The same words back to you, you don’t
deserve to be my father either.”

He straightened up and headed out the door, not holding back in the slightest.

Mother Xiao immediately caught up and looked at Qing Yun, tears slowly flowing
down, “Chengnuo, don’t you want your mother anymore?”

“Mom.” Qing Yun leaned down and hugged Mother Xiao, “Mom, this family is just
confinement for me. When I grow up, I’ll have a better life outside.”

“Mom, you take care of yourself. Wait for me to pick you up.”

Qing Yun let go of Mother Xiao and walked out of the Xiao family door without
looking back.

Seeing this, Father Xiao was furious and smashed an item towards Qing Yun’s
back: “Evil son! Evil son!”

Xiao Chengzhe stood with his head hung at the side, hiding the smug smile in
his eyes. Today’s matter was a big deal, and looking at Father Xiao, it was
impossible for Xiao Chengnuo to inherit the Xiao family.

However, Zou Chen’s attitude today made him suspicious.

But then he changed his mind and got over it. As the head of the Zou family,
how could Zou Chen be serious about a man? Perhaps he was only a little
interested now.
Chapter 18

Leaving the Xiao family, Qing Yun took a deep breath of the cold air and felt
relaxed.

What he told Mother Xiao was not a lie. The Xiao family only restricted him,
leaving would allow Qing Yun to show his face on the broader world, instead of
only focusing on the Xiao family.

Qing Yun had not planned to stay in the Xiao family, and now he just took an
excuse to leave.

He walked slowly down the road; he had left his car in the garage of the Xiao
family’s old house, which was not far from where the Xiao family held their
banquet but not close either. However, Qing Yun did not intend to make another
trip back to get his car.

Just as he was pondering about the means of transportation, a car slowly drove
up and stopped beside Qing Yun.

The car window lowered, and it was indeed Zou Chen again.

“What? Didn’t you go back?” Qing Yun raised his chin towards him. The red
marks on his white neck were completely eye-catcher even under the dim street
lights.

Zou Chen coughed lightly and looked away.

He opened the car door and said, “I was worried about you, so I came back to
check on you.”

“Oh, you’re late then.” Qing Yun’s voice was sarcastic, but he didn’t hesitate to
step into his car.
Zou Chen smiled bitterly and apologized to him, “I was too reckless today, but I
really couldn’t help it, do you understand?”

He wasn’t joking. When he saw Qing Yun, he even felt like the control of his
body had just shifted into the youth’s hands. But what was odd was that Zou
Chen, a man who had been in a high position for a long time, didn’t reject this
feeling at all.

Looking at the cold side face of the young man beside him, Zou Chen stopped
the car at the side of the road and looked at Qing Yun, “You said you don’t like
to have people following you around, so I removed them.”

“I respect all your decisions.” He took Qing Yun’s hand, and his usually unsmiling
face actually showed a slightly pleading look, “But, give me a chance to get to
know you, okay?”

Qing Yun chuckled lightly; of course, he knew what Zou Chen was referring to.

He looked at Zou Chen sideways and raised his chin, the expression on his face
was seven points arrogant and three points provocative, “Oh?”

Zou Chen looked at him deeply, his eyes all eager.

“Heh, it depends on your ability.”

The youth’s soft words were mostly blown away by the wind outside the car,
leaving only a few echoes inside the car, but Zou Chen was ecstatic.

Just when Zou Chen thought that he would finally be able to pursue Qing Yun in
a big way, he didn’t expect that the next day, Qing Yun led Zhao Bowen to board
a plane to M country.
So the Zou’s staff, once again, witnessed the madness of their own boss.

“Get out!” The cup brushed past the department head’s face and smashed into
the doorframe with a loud clang.

The department head immediately retreated with an ashen face and exchanged
fearful glances with the secretary outside the door.

There was a chaotic clatter in the room, then the man’s suppressed roar of
frustration exploded, “Shit! Who the hell is this surnamed, Zhao!”

Zhao Bowen, who had just stepped off the plane, was in a daze as if he was
being watched by something monstrous. He shrank into his neck and sighed, M
country’s cold air was not a secret.

Qing Yun, on the other hand, opened his phone and looked at the messages and
missed calls that popped up one after another, with a wry smile on his face.

Qing Yun’s earlier words of “It depends on your ability” wasn’t a lie. He had
already seen that Zou Chen didn’t have any memories of the last world. Why
would Qing Yun take advantage of him and hastily agree to his pursuit?

If Zou Chen couldn’t get his heart racing again, it would only mean that the two
were not destined for each other.

“Let’s go.” Qing Yun pocketed his phone and said towards Zhao Bowen beside
him.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
In the past three years, a company named Ruixin Pharmaceuticals, like a dark
horse, has expanded its territory in the field of biomedicine. The company has
developed a new drug that has surprising effects on both early, middle, and late-
stage cancers.

Most importantly, the drug specifically kills cancer cells without harming healthy
cells in the human body. As soon as the drug was released, it immediately broke
the curse of cancer being a terminal disease.

Due to the special nature of the drug, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration)
paid great attention to it and shortened the duration of the clinical trials under
strict control to get the drug on the market as soon as possible.

Ruixin Pharmaceuticals took the opportunity to launch a series of drugs for

cancer prevention, cancer gene repair, etc., advancing biomedicine to a new
stage.

After breaking through the field of cancer, Ruixin Pharmaceuticals insisted on

research at the genetic level on one side, and on the other side, developed a
special drug for antibiotic-resistant bacteria to solve the horrible crisis caused by
antibiotic abuse.

Through the endless stream of new drugs with miraculous healing effects, Ruixin
Pharmaceuticals quickly became one of the world’s top 500 pharmaceutical
companies.

After three years, Zhao Bowen matured a lot. At this time, he slapped the table
and looked at Qing Yun behind the desk, very hard.

Qing Yun finished processing the documents in his hands without changing his
face and handed them over to his secretary before glancing up at the furious
Zhao Bowen.

“Are you done? You can go when you’re done, I remember you’re supposed to
be busy, the development plan for the next new drug has been sent out.”
Zhao Bowen was so angry at his nonchalant attitude that he tilted backward. He
went around the desk, pointing at Qing Yun’s nose, “You should have taken a
longer look, okay?”

He threw a stack of data in his hands, “These results are enough to wrap up the
next ten years of the Nobel Prize, damn it, can you not just focus on the money.”

“Besides, there’s a lot of money in the Nobel Prize! Lots of it!”

Zhao Bowen almost shook Qing Yun’s shoulders and roared. He is no longer the
same brat he was at the beginning, working with Qing Yun for so many years;
how could he not see that these godforsaken ideas are all from Qing Yun.

At first, he regarded Qingyun as a god, but no matter how much he asked, he

refused to admit it.

By now, he simply hates him so much that he wants to strangle him to death.

“Well, I got it, you can go now.”

Almost instantly, Qing Yun went back to work. Zhao Bowen was used to being
mad from time to time. The man had progressed quickly, and Zhao Bowen had
been able to work on his own in the new drug development section.

And Qing Yun. It was clear to him which prescriptions he took from his original
world. Qing Yun’s pride had no intention of taking it for himself.

“You!” Zhao Bowen was about to say something else, but when he turned his
head, he saw the window on Qing Yun’s computer screen.
Zou Chen’s dark eyes were looking at him gloomily.

Zhao Bowen was in a state of shock and turned in place to walk out.

Qing Yun was actually videoing with this horrible man again!

After Zhao Bowen left, Zou Chen’s face immediately broke the ice. He looked at
the side of Qing Yun’s face who was immersed in his work, and it took a while
before he broke the silence: “It’s getting late, time for lunch, eh?”

Qing Yun looked at the time after hearing the words, it was indeed time for
lunch. He picked up his phone and asked his secretary to help him order food.
Although Zou Chen reminded him, he sat in front of the computer without the
intention of leaving.

“What are you going to have for lunch today?” Zou Chen asked him.

“Hmm… “Qing Yun put his chin against his phone and thought for a moment
before he gave a few names of dishes.

Zou Chen immediately wrote it down and had someone prepare the evening
meal accordingly. It wasn’t that good to send it to Qing Yun, after all, the two
were now an ocean apart.

He was just used to eating the same dishes as Qing Yun as if that would give
him the feeling of dining with him.

After lunch, Qing Yun was going to take a nap and got up to turn off the video.

Zou Chen said hurriedly, “I’ve booked a ticket for tomorrow.”

“Eh? Why is there business?” Qing Yun asked with a raised eyebrow.

“No, to see you.” Zou Chen laughed lowly. Although Qing Yun hadn’t responded
to his feelings, their relationship was much more harmonious. Unfortunately,
both of them had enough things on their hands. Even if Zou Chen was moody,
he couldn’t just casually leave the large Zou Clan and run off to see Qing Yun.

“Oh? That’s a pity.” Qing Yun dropped his eyes to hide the laughter in them.

“Pity?” Zou Chen tensed for a moment and leaned closer to the screen.

He instantly thought of the possibilities. Was he too late? Did Qing Yun agree to
someone else’s pursuit?

“Unfortunately, I’m going home tomorrow.” Qing Yun finally couldn’t help but
smile a little, and he turned off the video as soon as the words left his mouth.

“You’re… really… “Zou Chen relaxed his mind, leaning back in the chair for a
laugh and a cry. He thought briefly about it and realized that this was Qing Yun’s
surprise.

From recent words, it wasn’t hard for Qing Yun to guess that Zou Chen had the
intention to visit him in M country. He had planned to return to China, but he
waited until Zou Chen had worked hard to arrange everything before revealing
the news.

“Naughty.” Zou Chen looked at the darkened video window and spoke in a
spoiled tone.

He knew nothing about the news that Qing Yun was returning to China.
Xiao Chengzhe was now preparing for a cooperation with high monetary value.
After Qing Yun left, Father Xiao slowly delegated power to Xiao Chengzhe, who is
now the actual head of the Xiao family.

Recently, the Zou’s are preparing to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies

to develop a batch of vaccines to prevent infection from a virus. A large number
of pharmaceutical companies squeezed their heads together to go forward. After
all, the Zou Consortium is extremely influential in various fields and is a giant
that dominates the entire country. This is a rare opportunity to cooperate with
the Zou’s. Not only would it raise the company’s reputation, but it would also be
able to take a deeper hold on people’s hearts.

This was the first larger partnership Xiao Chengzhe had faced since taking power.
With this opportunity, Father Xiao figured he would officially announce Xiao
Chengzhe as the next president of Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals, so he had to be
cautious.

But Xiao Chengzhe is not too worried. After all, Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals is the
most powerful pharmaceutical company in the country, and there was also his
friendship with Zou Qiyao. If there are no accidents, the opportunity to
cooperate will undoubtedly fall into the Xiao’s hands.

Xiao Chengzhe leaned against the back of the chair with a smile on his face. He
turned around and looked at the bustling street scene of Yan City under the
floor-to-ceiling window, his mood unusually calm.

This was only the beginning of his glorious life.

As for where Xiao Chengnuo has run off to, Xiao Chengzhe isn’t worried because
he’s close to getting what he wants, while Xiao Chengnuo is destined to get
nothing.

Of course, seeing Xiao Chengnuo again, he didn’t mind getting into trouble one
more time.
Chapter 19

In the evening.

Qing Yun arranged his work for the next period before returning to his place.

He turned on the light and prepared to pack the things he needed to bring.

Qing Yun’s life is exceptionally disciplined, just like his current residence. Even
though he lived there for more than three years, at first glance, it still looks as if
nobody had lived there. Everything was neatly placed, everything from the living
room to the bedroom was spotless.

There was one corner, though, that was a bit out of place, with all sorts of
different trinkets on display.

These were all Zou Chen’s handiwork.

Qing Yun walked into that side of the bookcase and picked up an exquisite robot
to play within his hand.

The man never forgot to send one to Qing Yun when he encountered something
novel. Qing Yun doesn’t know if Zou Chen’s behavior of collecting such childish
things while wearing a face that can be described as fierce and evil has scared
others.

Qing Yun’s eyes couldn’t help but shine with a smile.

This time, he would stay in the country for a longer time when he returned. After
pondering for a while, Qing Yun began to pack up the little items on the
bookshelf, placing them in boxes and arranging them neatly into the suitcase.
As he was packing up his things, his phone rang. It was Zou Chen.

Qing Yun frowned; how could it happen so coincidentally that this person was
calling at this time?

Quietly staring at the vibrating phone, Qing Yun’s eyes narrowed and hung it up
viciously.

Refused to answer?

Zou Chen looked at the phone in his hand as if he was looking at some difficult
business problem. He tried to dial back again, and that’s when he heard Qing
Yun’s lazy voice.

“What are you calling me for again?”

“Hmm? In a bad mood? Sleeping already?” Zou Chen asked in a warm voice,
sensing something slightly off in Qing Yun’s tone of voice.

Qing Yun got up extremely angry, Zou Chen learned to be good only after
accidentally stepping on thunder a few times.

“What is it?” The tone was worse this time.

Zou Chen couldn’t laugh or cry, busy reassuring with a few words, and then said,
“Where are you going to live when you return? I have a few properties in Yan
City, would you like to take a look?”

Without being able to see Qing Yun, the daily video and phone calls became the
time Zou Chen looked forward to the most, and every time he was able to drag a
minute is a point.
Without waiting for a reply from Qing Yun, Zou Chen summarized several of his
properties and sent them to Qing Yun.

When Qing Yun received the documents, the corners of his mouth could not help
but reveal a slightly pleasant smile.

He picked through the houses under Zou Chen’s name one by one. He waited
until Zou Chen was in a mixed mood before he closed the file, leaned back on
the bed, and asked him in a haughty tone, “I have my own house, so why
should I live in your place?”

Zou Chen became helpless for a moment, and he could think of Qing Yun’s proud
little appearance just by the sound of his voice.

He must have had a slightly raised chin and squinty eyes, and he looked like he
wanted to make people…

Love him well.

“Actually, I’d rather have you live in the Zou family’s old mansion.” Zou Chen’s
tone couldn’t help lowering.

“Okay.” Qing Yun agreed simply, and grinned at the end, “What? You think I’m
afraid to move in?”

Hearing Qing Yun’s promise, Zou Chen’s heart swelled with incredible joy.

Is that what he thinks it means? Did he say yes?

However, even though Zou Chen’s heart was rejoicing with anticipation, the Zou
family’s old house was still discarded by Qing Yun.

In the end, Qing Yun chose a villa near the Xiao family.

He had to go back after all.

The next day, Zou Chen arrived at the airport early, without anyone following
him. No one would have expected that President Zou would actually run to the
airport to pick up someone in person.

Yesterday, Qing Yun’s words disturbed him, and he couldn’t wait to come over
and make sure.

If it wasn’t the result he wanted…

Then tie him back up, Zou Chen thought fiercely.

But no matter how much the dark thoughts swirled in his mind, he was still
looking nervously in the mirror now, fixing his hair and clothes to make sure he
was handsome before he got out of the car with anxiety.

At the sight of the figure at the exit, Zou Chen’s heart almost jumped to his
throat, his black eyes locked onto Qing Yun with a smile on his lips, and
immediately took a step forward to greet him.

However, someone was faster than him, a well-maintained middle-aged woman

directly overtook him and pounced towards Qing Yun with open arms.

The slightly raised curve of Zou Chen’s mouth froze.

“Mom!” Qing Yun helplessly gave Mother Xiao a hug. He looked at Zou Chen,
who was slightly stiff not far away, and couldn’t stop the corners of his mouth
from rising.

“Ohh, I missed you, you brat, you didn’t know how to come back to see me
these past few years.” Mother Xiao was simply ecstatic, not even paying
attention to her son’s ambiguous atmosphere with the person behind him, “Tired,
right? Go home and rest…”

Was it his mother? This realization made Zou Chen feel slightly better as he
stepped forward, his deep eyes looking at Qing Yun, “Back?”

“Mm.” Qing Yun looked up at him, the smile on his lips carried some seductive
meaning, watching Zou Chen’s Adam’s apple sliding up and down twice.

Their brief but seemed to contain a thousand words greeting surprised Mother
Xiao, who was caught in the middle. She turned her head to look Zou Chen and
couldn’t help but ask, “This is…”

Although she had heard of Zou Chen’s name, Mother Xiao hasn’t observed him
up close, so she naturally didn’t recognize him at first sight.

“My friend.” Qing Yun handed over his luggage to Zou Chen, “I’m staying at his
place for the time being while I’m back.”

Hearing the plain word “friend”, Zou Chen’s heart sank a bit, but Qing Yun’s
actions and the rest of the sentence made his heart burst with joy.

Zou Chen received the luggage and greeted Mother Xiao with a “good” greeting,
“Hello, Auntie.”

“Then I’ll be troubling you for a while, my Chengnuo has quite a few problems,
you have to bear with him more.”
Mother Xiao responded with a smile, turned around, and looked at Qing Yun. In
the end, she did not say anything. She knew that Qing Yun was reluctant to go
home. These years, Qing Yun’s achievements in foreign countries, others were
not aware of, but Mother Xiao knows some of it.

She only felt proud in her heart. Qing Yun was right back then. After leaving the
Xiao family, his son had become more and more promising.

“It’s no trouble, between Chengnuo and I… we don’t need to talk about this.”
Zou Chen seemed to be exchanging pleasantries with Mother Xiao in a gentle
manner, but in fact, his heart was on fire.

According to his expectation, they should have a hug, followed by a passionate

kiss, and then something else in the car. When they get back to their place, he’ll
let Qing Yun rest for the night, and tomorrow they’ll have a whole day to do all
kinds of things they love to do.

But now… with Mother Xiao present, Zou Chen didn’t dare to do anything. He
wasn’t stupid, how could he not see how much Qing Yun valued Mother Xiao,
and now he naturally showed the spirit of treating his mother-in-law.

“Hey, it’s still early but you’ve been on a plane for so long, so go back and rest.”
Although Mother Xiao said so, she was still a bit reluctant.

Upon hearing that, Zou Chen was in high spirits.

Unexpectedly, Qing Yun shook his head and said, “I’m not tired. Tomorrow is
Grandma’s birthday, let’s go pick out a gift for her.”

“Really?” Mother Xiao looked happy, and Zou Chen’s mood fell again.
Qing Yun nodded before looking with interest at Zou Chen, whose entire body
was somewhat dejected at this point, “First… goodbye?”

“…goodbye.”

Zou Chen nodded helplessly. He looked at Qing Yun’s back as he slowly left and
covered his face with a sigh, but then he softened his eyes when he saw the
luggage in his hands.

Qing Yun followed Mother Xiao into the car, who obviously extremely happy,
talking to him as she drove, “I always thought you had friends but I didn’t
expect it to be this good today.”

“Although he looks a bit fierce, he’s quite good-tempered.”

“Just seems a little older, but you should make more of these steady-focus
friends.”

With a frown, Mother Xiao said, “You didn’t tell me what the person’s name is
either, wasn’t that just a little rude?”

Qing Yun listened to these words about Zou Chen, with a smile on his face the
entire time. Until then, he raised his eyes and threw a bomb at Mother Xiao.

“Name? Oh, he’s Zou Chen.”

Mother Xiao’s entire body stiffened, and the driver of the Xiao family in front was
obviously very shocked as well, and the entire car drifted a bit.

Mother Xiao suddenly remembered the incident that shocked the entire high
society of Yan City three years ago. She clicked her tongue and turned her neck,
asking Qing Yun, “Is that the one from the Zou family? Sure it’s Zou, not Zhou?”
“Hmm.” Qing Yun nodded his head casually.

Affirmed, Mother Xiao slowly turned her head, completely unaware of what she
was supposed to be thinking.

She wasn’t there when it happened. Hearing it brought up again by others, later
on, was only considered an exaggerated rumor. After all, in her heart, Zou
Chen’s unkindness and unattainability are deeply rooted.

Who would have thought that the Zou family head, who is said to have an
extremely bad temper, would be such a… a dog in front of his own son?

Suddenly she was stirred, if what had happened back then was true…now these
two were living together again…

“Oh, son…you two?” Mother Xiao asked carefully, but after asking, she suddenly
felt that it was unnecessary. She immediately waved her hand and said, “Forget
it, don’t tell me.”

Regardless of what Qing Yun’s answer was, Mother Xiao knew in her heart that
she couldn’t interfere. Anyway, it looked like her son wouldn’t suffer, so what
was she afraid of.

Qing Yun just got back. Although it is important to pick out a gift for his
grandmother, Mother Xiao was afraid that he would be tired.

But when it came to the checkout, there was a bit of a minor situation. Qing Yun
accidentally took the wrong card and swiped Zou Chen’s card.

Since the mall was Zou’s property, even the manager was alarmed and
respectfully escorted the two out.
Qing Yun didn’t think anything of it. However, Mother Xiao was visibly excited,
simply because she had met two good sisters earlier, and this scene still made
her feel quite dignified.

After Qing Yun and Mother Xiao left, Xiao Chengzhe, on the other hand, walked
slowly down the stairs with Zou Qiyao.

Xiao Chengzhe ignored the female companion beside him and followed Qing
Yun’s back with his eyes. He didn’t expect that Xiao Chengnuo would appear
again. In the past few years, Xiao Chengnuo has disappeared and never had any
contact with Zou Chen, and the incident three years ago has been forgotten by
many people.

But now that Xiao Chengnuo has suddenly come back and pulled Mother Xiao to
swipe Zou Chen’s card freely in a mall owned by the Zou’s. What does he want?
Do you really want to get close to the Zou family as Father Xiao said?

Xiao Chengzhe sneered, he initially thought that Xiao Chengnuo had a bit of
backbone, but now it seemed to be just that. But, was Zou Chen’s thigh so easy
to hold?

He withdrew his gaze and patted the shoulder of Zou Qiyao beside him, “Look,
the one who just went out is Xiao Chengnuo. You still remember what happened
three years ago, right? It seems that Zou Chen is really nice to him.”

Zou Qiyao also looked over, but it was with a disdainful face.

“What are you babbling about? I’m still not sure who my brother has around him,
who is that Xiao Chengnuo?”
Chapter 20

“I haven’t seen that brother of yours around my brother.” Zou Qiyao trailed off.
He felt that he knew Zou Chen better, after all, he was the only one who could
hold onto his thighs out of so many bastards in the Zou family.

Zou Chen is powerful, but he’s never been keen on that sort of thing. Zou Qiyao
had never seen anyone staying around him, so back then, he didn’t believe in
the gossip between Xiao Chengnuo and Zou Chen at all.

Xiao Chengzhe shook his head, clearly having doubts about his words, “However,
Zou Chen has never passed on this kind of thing to anyone else, Xiao Chengnuo
is the first.”

This, however, reminded Zou Qiyao.

Just because of that incident three years ago, Xiao Chengnuo could be
considered to be on fire, and everyone was talking about him. After all, just as
Xiao Chengzhe said, no matter whether it was a man or a woman, this was the
first time Zou Chen had such a scandal, so Xiao Chengnuo’s popularity was
momentous.

But Zou Qiyao was not happy about this. Previously, he was the only one who
got into Zou Chen’s eyes, so why did someone suddenly run out to steal his
thunder this time?

Although Xiao Chengnuo has nothing to do with the Zou family in terms of their
bloodline, blood is nothing. The Zou family looks at the face of Zou Chen; as
long as Zou Chen likes it, everyone has to hold it.

Therefore, Zou Qiyao could be said to be quite uncomfortable with Xiao

Chengnuo.
Looking at the flicker of thought in Zou Qiyao’s eyes, Xiao Chengzhe dropped his
eyes and smiled. He said this just to arouse Zou Qiyao’s vigilance but he wasn’t
too concerned.

If Xiao Chengzhe hadn’t led someone in the first place, who would have known
about Xiao Chengnuo and Zou Chen’s affair? It was just a coincidence, and
besides, Xiao Chengzhe didn’t think that Zou Chen would be interested in
someone as incompetent as Xiao Chengnuo.

“Damn it, this brat is backfiring at you. I don’t like him either, I don’t want this
guy to casually hitch a ride on my Zou family.” Zou Qiyao spat.

Zou Qiyao was accustomed to acting arrogantly.

Qing Yun had just attended his grandmother’s birthday banquet and was
stopped when he drove out.

“Yo, Second Young Master Xiao.” Zou Qiyao sat in the sports car, exhaling
smoke rings to speak to Qing Yun.

Qing Yun raised his eyebrows, initially his impression of Zou Qiyao was merely
Xiao Chengzhe’s golden finger. The only time he had paid attention to him was
the time this kid had planned to drug him.

Now, he had a bit of other interest.

After all, the world had sent him a message that Zou Qiyao is Zou Chen’s “only
favored” younger brother. After the accident, Zou Chen even handed over the
large Zou family to Zou Qiyao, just to keep him safe for the rest of his life.

Favor, love?
Qing Yun chewed the words between his lips and teeth. He abruptly smiled and
withdrew his car window, “What does Second Young Master Zou have to say?”

Zou Qiyao looked at Qing Yun’s smile, feeling dazzled and a little tickled in his
heart. He didn’t forget the purpose of his visit, and said in a deep voice: “Look,
although you and I are both second young masters, the difference is not small.
People have to have some self-awareness, right?”

He suddenly leaned in close to Qing Yun: “I know best what kind of

temperament my brother has. You shouldn’t pretend to rub yourself against my
brother’s thigh, I’m embarrassed for you.”

“Oh?” Qing Yun came to be interested, he even wanted Zou Chen to come over
to hear this.

“Now, my brother doesn’t want to pay attention to you. When he finds out, he’ll
be in a bad mood, and you might even lose your life.” Zou Qiyao sighed and said,
“What do you want? It’s just money, isn’t it? I’ll give you five million, you take
the money neatly and leave with it.”

Zou Qiyao thought simply. Now that Xiao Chengnuo was kicked out of the Xiao
family, he’s embracing Zou Chen’s thighs, so what else could he do it for but
money?

Qing Yun stared blankly at Zou Qiyao, clearly not expecting this kind of drama to
happen to him.

It’s like an idol drama where the man’s mother threatens the woman with
money to “Leave my son”.

Qing Yun burst out laughing. The scene of Zou Qiyao smashing money to make
him leave somehow poked at Qing Yun’s laughing point, making him laugh for a
long time.
It was only until Zou Qiyao’s face was strangely bad that Qing Yun stopped
laughing.

“Let’s do this, you throw this five million to your brother. You tell your brother to
stay away from me and to don’t stick around me all day, it’s annoying.” Qing
Yun threw down the check and drove off with a light smile.

Throwing money at him? It’s not surprising, after all, Zou Qiyao still doesn’t
know the identity of Qing Yun. Everyone knows how strong is the ability to
amass wealth from new drugs during the patent period, not to mention the
miraculous efficacy of the successive drugs launched by Ruixin. Now in terms of
financial resources, Ruixin Pharmaceuticals has enough to keep pace with the
Zou.

If Zou Qiyao knew this and still dared to threaten Qing Yun with a cheque for
five million, perhaps he was out of his mind.

“Damn, psycho?” Looking at Qing Yun’s arrogant attitude, Zou Qiyao hit the
steering wheel hard. He glanced at the check, “What is a thigh-hugging bastard
blindly pretending to be?”

“What? Didn’t you agree to pick Xiao? And what’s going on?” Xiao Chengzhe
growled out into the phone in a low voice.

He thought the matter of working with the Zou Consortium to develop a vaccine
was a foregone conclusion, but now there was a change of heart.

“I heard that Ruixin Pharmaceuticals was also interested in cooperating, so

there’s news from Zou’s side that they have other plans. After all, Xiao’s
compared to Ruixin…”

The words on the other end of the phone weren’t finished, but Xiao Chengzhe
could easily hear the unfinished meaning of the words. Compared? In
comparison, whether it’s technology or management, Xiao simply doesn’t have
the qualifications to compare with Ruixin.
Xiao Chengzhe furiously raked his hair, he didn’t even expect Ruixin to grab this
slot. After all, with Ruixin Pharmaceutical’s qualifications and reputation, there
was absolutely no need to focus on this opportunity for cooperation.

This evening, he just vouched to Father Xiao that he will make Xiao go further.
What will Father Xiao think of him if it turns out that there is nothing for Xiao at
all?

Xiao Chengzhe’s eyes flashed with a dark glint as he picked up his phone and
called Zou Qiyao.

Ruixin? So what if you have power? Sometimes connections are a strength.

When Qing Yun drove back to Zou Chen’s villa, the interior lights were still on,
but none of the original servants in the villa were there.

Knowing that Qing Yun was coming to stay here, Zou Chen knew his
temperament, so naturally, he wouldn’t leave anyone else in the villa.

When Qing Yun walked into the living room, he saw Zou Chen opening his
suitcase and staring at a box of odd contraptions.

Qing Yun stayed with Mother Xiao at his grandmother’s house last night. To be
honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that there were still a few pieces of clothing in the
box, Zou Chen would almost think that Qing Yun was packing up all of his gifts
and sending them back.

Now that he was looking at the contents of the box, he just felt a gentle surge of
tenderness in his heart.

“Who gave you permission to touch my things?” Qing Yun doesn’t sound too
good, or rather, he’s not too good in his entirety right now!
If Qing Yun had known, he wouldn’t have brought these things over which made
it look like he treasured them.

Qing Yun moved forward to close the box and reached out to snatch the things
from Zou Chen’s hand, but Zou Chen grabbed his wrist.

“Do what?”

Zou Chen brought the person into his arms, his chin resting on the nape of Qing
Yun’s neck as he laughed out lowly. This joyful vibration through the two
connected limbs went straight to Qing Yun’s heart.

“Baby, why are you so cute?”

“What are you laughing at!” Qing Yun broke away from him in annoyance, her
ears cloaked in a thin layer of red.

Zou Chen gently kissed his earlobe, devouring it with his teeth as he whispered
in his ear, “Look, you’ve collected so many things, how about collecting another
one?”

“What?” Qing Yun withdrew his body and looked at him sideways, feeling
somehow that he was now at a disadvantage.

“Me.” Zou Chen pulled his hand and placed it over his heart, his eyes were
intoxicatingly gentle.

Qing Yun gave a snort and raised his chin high, his clear eyes as if dipped in
clear spring, “Too big, no!”
At the words, Zou Chen laughed even louder, his shoulders shaking. He also
cupped Qing Yun’s face and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

“Baby, I’m very big. But how do you know you don’t want it if you haven’t tried
it?”

Qing Yun stared, clearly stunned by this man’s shamelessness. Sure enough,
this guy was forever full of dirty crap!

The room was overflowing with Zou Chen’s deep and pleasant laughter, which
slowly dissipated, and instead, some shallow to low inaudible moans were heard.
The groans slowly sounded.

Zou Chen finally got what he wanted and spent two days with Qing Yun.
Although it’s still a far cry from the darkroom PLAY he’s been longing for, it’s still
extremely pleasing to him to cover Qing Yun with his scent.

“Chengzhe, don’t worry, I will definitely take care of this. If my brother wasn’t at
the old mansion that day, how could I have dragged this out? I will go to Zou
tomorrow to look for my brother…”

Zou Qiyao slammed the car door and headed inside the villa. Zou Chen had a lot
of properties in Yan City, but he basically didn’t live outside of his old mansion.
Zou Qiyao was different, he went everywhere and lived wherever he wanted,
and the servants couldn’t kick him out.

Speaking of which, he was a bit puzzled. Zou Chen had always stayed either at
the company or in his old house. Yesterday, he went to look for someone for
Xiao Chengzhe’s sake, but Zou Chen couldn’t even be found in either of these
places.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he got. Especially today, when
Qiyao drove into the villa, there was no one to help him park the car. Where did
all the servants go?
He called out twice, but no one answered. Zou Qiyao turned his head and saw a
familiar car – Xiao Chengnuo’s car.

The other day it was this car that arrogantly sped past in front of his eyes and
he couldn’t forget it.

Zou Qiyao sneered, this Second Young Master Xiao is not bad. It was surprising
that he managed to find this place and get in. But unfortunately, Xiao Chengnuo
didn’t know that Zou Chen had never been in this villa before. He tried to run
here to hug his thighs but he ran to the wrong place.

He tugged on his tie, and some stupid thoughts popped up in his mind. The first
time he saw Xiao Chengnuo, he thought he looked good. Especially when he
smiled, his heart was tickled, and if not for Xiao Chengzhe, he would have tried
to pull him into bed.

Zou Qiyao walked into the house as he laughed sarcastically and loudly, “Xiao
Chengnuo, Xiao Chengnuo, I told you clearly to get lost, you don’t understand,
do you?”

“I think you look okay and don’t even think about seducing my brother, sleeping
with me might be more…”

Zou Qiyao’s words came to an abrupt halt, and his hand that was undoing his
collar just paused, staring blankly at the room.

Zou Chen was wearing an apron, he was holding a spatula in one hand and
holding the youth in front of him against himself with the other.
Chapter 21

Qing Yun’s two long legs wrapped around Zou Chen’s waist. He reached out and
tugged at Zou Chen’s collar, leaning in close to say something.

What these two were saying, Zou Qiyao didn’t know, at this moment, he even
forgot who he was and where he was, he mumbled out, “Brother…”

Zou Chen’s eyes turned dark because of his words.

Qing Yun’s eyes were even colder, he could tolerate Zou Qiyao bouncing around
like a clown, but couldn’t endure Zou Qiyao’s unobstructed entry into the space
he was living in.

Zou Qiyao repeatedly provoked him, but Qing Yun did not make a move. He
believed that Zou Chen would deal with it himself, but now it seems that he
thought too much.

Keenly aware of the change in Qing Yun’s mood, Zou Chen panicked and the
spatula fell to the floor with a bang.

“Chengnuo, you listen to my explanation… ” Zou Chen hurriedly wrapped his

hands around Qing Yun.

Qing Yun chuckled lightly as he reached out to wrap his arms around Zou Chen’s
neck. His jade-like palms even stroking Zou Chen’s stubbled chin, but his eyes
were growing increasingly obscure.

Zou Chen’s heart sank a little bit, and it was hard to separate a single bit of
attention on the dumbfounded Zou Qiyao.

“Oh, I’ve met him twice, so he’s Zou’s most favored brother.” Qing Yun cupped
Zou Chen’s chin and whispered.
“Very well, then, spend the rest of your life with your baby brother.” The tone of
his voice turned sharp. Qing Yun pulled Zou Chen’s arm away from him and took
the jacket on the couch to go out.

“Baby, don’t… “Zou Chen quickly tugged on Qing Yun’s arm but was snapped
away by Qing Yun.

Zou Qiyao watched Zou Chen chase Qing Yun out in a low voice and didn’t even
reward himself with a glance. Only now did the alarm begin to go off in his heart.
Trembling subconsciously, he searched for a place to hide.

But his body didn’t dare to move.

Zou Qiyao’s mind flashed back to the scene at a particular Zou family banquet.
Just because of one sentence, Zou Chen took his grandfather’s cane and
ruthlessly broke his second uncle’s leg.

Blood burst onto the floor, and his second uncle’s howls of anguish shook the
heavens.

However, not a single person in the Zou family dared to move, not a single
person dared to speak up for him. The old man of the Zou family watched his
favored young son climbing on the ground like an animal, but he could only
drink tea.

For fear of disturbing Zou Chen’s “elegant mood”, the banquet’s crowd even had
to smile and step on the sticky bloodstains on the floor, dancing and talking
along with his uncle’s howls.
That day at the banquet, the smell of blood overtook the smell of alcohol and
burrowed deep into the hearts of all present, clinging to their nerve endings.
With a little stimulation, the scene was vividly remembered.

But at that time, Zou Chen was indifferent. Zou Qiyao had never seen Zou Chen
lose his composure like this.

Thinking about his own dirty thoughts, Zou Qiyao knew that he was finished.

By the time Assistant Gu arrived, the sound of wailing could no longer be heard
in the villa.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zou Qiyao curled up on the floor, his face covered
in blood, and slurred his words, “Sister-in-law will come back, sister-in-law will
come back…”

Zou Chen, on the other hand, sat on the sofa folding the apron. He folded it to a
tiny side, even the folds were meticulously smoothed out. He obviously
treasured this apron greatly.

This must be something from Young Master Xiao, thought Assistant Gu.

He had been following Zou Chen, naturally, he knew about Zou Chen’s pursuit of
Xiao Chengnuo over the years. Miraculously, ever since he met Xiao Chengnuo,
Zou Chen hadn’t lost his temper for a long time. His tyranny that filled his heart
seemed to have found an outlet, all of it turning into passion and tenderness
surging towards Xiao Chengnuo.

Before he met Xiao Chengnuo, Zou Chen was a wild beast, and no one knew
when he would go crazy. After meeting Xiao Chengnuo, the beast seems to have
suddenly recognized his master. He seemed a lot more docile, but he also had
the sense to choose and devour people.
Assistant Gu presented the information in his hands with downcast eyes while
saying, “I called Ruixin’s domestic branch to ask about it, but Mr. Xiao is not
there. However, this place is very close to the Xiao family, and I’m afraid that Mr.
Xiao has gone home.”

What about Mr. Xiao and Ruixin? Zou Qiyao listened vaguely, his brain was a
little bit overwhelmed. The company’s name is Ruixin, and no one is unaware of
Ruixin’s reputation. Even if they can’t name the company, when it comes to the
world-shattering anti-cancer drug, they will understand. But who is Mr. Xiao?
Xiao Chengnuo?

Zou Qiyao suddenly became stirred up, remembering the check that Xiao
Chengnuo had thrown away like garbage. An unbelievable thought slowly took
shape, Xiao Chengnuo and Ruixin Pharmaceutical…

No wonder Xiao Chengnuo was able to throw away a five million cheque so
unconcernedly. No wonder Zou Chen, who is unconcerned about others,
regarded Xiao Chengnuo in a different light. Zou Qiyao suddenly understood
everything. Xiao Chengzhe’s provocative words flashed in his mind, and his
heart suddenly surged with anger against Xiao Chengzhe.

“Brother, it’s all Xiao Chengzhe! He was the one who wanted to harm sister-in-
law…” explained Zou Qiyao as he crawled towards Zou Chen, but he was kicked
by Zou Chen, his head knocking against the marble wall with a dull sound.

Zou Chen received the information, looked through it twice, and then his dark
gaze directed towards Zou Qiyao, “Twice, plus this time, a total of three times.”

Zou Qiyao couldn’t restrain himself from shaking twice; this was the number of
times he had messed with Xiao Chengnuo.

“Chengnuo doesn’t want to see me.” Zou Chen’s voice was gloomy, another
harsh frown creased between his eyebrows. He was now feeling both frustrated
and panicked. He almost lost his mind when he thought of Qing Yun’s resolute
back.

It seemed that he had once just watched Qing Yun disappear from his world.

Qing Yun wouldn’t let him get involved in the Xiao family’s affairs, but how could
Zou Chen not care. He only withdrew the people who were following Qing Yun,
but he knew everything that happened within the Xiao Family. Xiao Chengzhe
had been unable to find Qing Yun for three years, and it was because of Zou
Chen.

But he never expected that it would be the Zou family that would end up
upsetting Qing Yun.

He doesn’t blame Qing Yun for being angry with him.

Zou Chen lit a cigar, smoke instantly lingered up, but couldn’t conceal his cold
gaze: “The people who followed Xiao Chengzhe’s side were replaced, and the
ones who didn’t stand up to him were sent to D country.”

He had long forgotten the reason for keeping the bastard in the Zou family in
the first place. He was merely a pendulum left in the Zou family, letting him stay
there when he wasn’t an eyesore and replacing him whenever he didn’t like what
he saw.

But some people seem to be mistaken. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zou
Qiyao to swagger into the current villa.

“It was this subordinate’s fault for not explaining their duties clearly to them,
today, the subordinate will arrange to send Second Young Master out of the
country.” Assistant Gu had a bit of a headache, the people who followed Xiao
Chengzhe’s side were arranged by him.
Zou Chen, however, interrupted him, “When has the Zou family ever had a
second young master?”

“Yes…” Assistant Gu was shocked, knowing that Zou Qiyao had been sentenced
to death by a single sentence from Zou Chen.

After all, Zou Qiyao is not like Xiao Chengnuo, who left the Xiao family to build
up Ruixin Pharmaceuticals in minutes. Qiyao would be nothing if he left the Zou
family.

And D country… Assistant Gu silently felt some sympathy in his heart.

Qing Yun went back to the Xiao family since he had just met Mother Xiao shortly
after coming out of Zou Chen’s villa.

Being so close to home, Mother Xiao would naturally not let him leave.

When Qing Yun returned to the Xiao family, Father Xiao was watering the
flowers in the courtyard. Now that he was getting older, he was slowly becoming
too weak to handle the business and left most things to Xiao Chengzhe to take
care of. For his other son, Xiao Chengnuo, at first, he was angry at the thought
of him, but his anger raised some self-doubt.

After all, Xiao Chengnuo’s words before he left brought him quite a bit of impact.
As he grew older, these words slowly took root in his heart. In the middle of the
night, every word that was spoken clearly flashed in his ears.

The boy was right, he had never given him any good impressions since he was a
child.
When he saw Xiao Chengnuo at first glance, Father Xiao was startled. Before he
spoke, Mother Xiao looked at him and snorted: “Can’t I bring my son home?”

Father Xiao opened his mouth but eventually didn’t say anything. He proceeded
to water the flowers in silence, but the corner of his eyes was clearly checking
on Xiao Chengnuo.

As soon as he entered the living room, Qing Yun saw Xiao Chengzhe coming
down the stairs.

Xiao Chengzhe was stunned when he saw Xiao Chengnuo, and then he looked at
Father Xiao, who was watering the flowers in the courtyard with a slight shock.
It wasn’t that he was shocked that Xiao Chengnuo was back; after all, the last
time he saw Mother Xiao and Xiao Chengnuo at the mall, he had known that
Mother Xiao would bring Xiao Chengnuo home.

What surprised him was that Father Xiao had just silently let Xiao Chengnuo in?
What do you mean, does it mean that what happened three years ago has been
uncovered because of Xiao Chengnuo’s three years of disappearing?

Xiao Chengzhe felt something wrong in his heart as if something had long been
beyond his control, and it was only then that he realized it.

He mentally comforted himself that it would be fine, the cooperation with the
Zou Consortium would not be a problem. Father Xiao would no longer let Xiao
Chengnuo be his successor, and Xiao would be his.

Besides, even if something went wrong, it wasn’t like he didn’t have other plans
in the past three years.

Tonight, the four members of the Xiao family experienced an incredibly awkward
dinner atmosphere. Mother Xiao looked happy as she gave Xiao Chengnuo food,
and mother and son ate happily together. Father Xiao ate in silence, but his
attention was always on Xiao Chengnuo’s side, so Xiao Chengzhe became all
uncomfortable.

Truthfully, although he was adopted by the Xiao family, he had never been a fish
out of water in the Xiao family. Otherwise, he couldn’t have risen to the idea of
taking the Xiao family as his own. It had always been Xiao Chengnuo, who had
been trembling at the table instead.

But now, it seemed as if the whole situation had been switched around.

Just then, the housekeeper who hurriedly came in from outside the door defused
the awkwardness at the dinner table.

The housekeeper’s face was agitated and panicked, “Mr. Zou’s here, saying that
he’s coming to visit Mr. Xiao!”
Chapter 22

The person who came this moment was quick, and Qing Yun could tell even with
his toes who it was. He immediately put down his chopsticks, his expression was
not worried.

When Mother Xiao saw this, she asked carefully, “Was there a fight?”

The ones who reacted even more than Xiao Chengnuo and Mother Xiao were
Father Xiao and Xiao Chengzhe. These two immediately stood up and looked out
the door with excitement in their eyes. Both of them attached great importance
to the cooperation with Zou, and for Xiao Chengzhe, this was the key to whether
he could successfully become Xiao’s president.

To Father Xiao, Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals was more important than his two sons. It
was his lifelong dream to see Xiao’s go further.

In short, although sitting at the same table, Xiao Chengzhe, Father Xiao, Mother
Xiao, and Chengnuo were not on the same brain circuit.

Seeing that the visitor was Zou Chen, Father Xiao and Xiao Chengzhe were
shocked, and then their hearts were filled with joy.

The fact that Zou Chen, who was the president, came in person was proof
enough that Zou was interested in this cooperation and in the Xiao family.

As for Xiao Chengnuo, the two of them didn’t take him seriously at all. In Father
Xiao’s heart, although he was a bit soft on Xiao Chengnuo, he still thought that
Xiao Chengnuo was just a second son who had accomplished nothing and had no
achievements.

As for Xiao Chengzhe, he was full of pride at the moment. He didn’t expect Zou
Qiyao’s efficiency to be relatively high. In the afternoon, the two just finished a
phone call, and in the evening, Mr. Zou even came to the Xiao family personally.
It wasn’t surprising that Xiao Chengnuo was overlooked by the two of them
because apart from the sensational event three years ago, there were no other
rumors about Xiao Chengnuo’s involvement with Zou Chen. So naturally, the two
of them wouldn’t think that Zou Chen came here for Xiao Chengnuo.

When Zou Chen came in, there were no other pleasantries and he got straight to
the point. “Although the cooperation between Zou and Mr. Xiao has been set,
there were some temporary changes made to the contract, so I came to discuss
it with Mr. Xiao to avoid any misunderstandings.”

As soon as this was said, Xiao Chengzhe immediately greeted and shook Zou
Chen’s hand with a smile on his face, “Mr. Zou is really polite. We believe in
Zou’s ability, so why would we disagree?”

He was so excited that he could almost foresee a future where he would get
Xiao’s, or even be on par with Zou Chen.

Unexpectedly, when Zou Chen arrived in front of him, he took his hand back and
looked at Xiao Chengzhe with a faint expression, “I’m here to see President Xiao,
General Manager Xiao.”

The difference between the president and the general manager wasn’t little, and
Zou Chen’s words made Xiao Chengzhe’s face immediately stiffen.

When Father Xiao heard this, he immediately wiped his hands clean. He stepped
forward, but then heard Zou Chen continue, “And, our Zou has no intention of
working with Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals.”

Father Xiao was stunned and filled with confusion as he asked, “Then… then
which Xiao could it be?”
Only then did Father Xiao and Xiao Chengzhe realize that there was another
person surnamed Xiao in the room, and both turned to look incredulously at Xiao
Chengnuo, who was about to go upstairs. But that’s impossible? What kind of
CEO is Xiao Chengnuo? Could it be that he’s been setting up a company outside
the house for the past years?

Zou Chen chased after Xiao Chengnuo with two steps towards him, tugging on
Xiao Chengnuo’s hands to shake with hands that could be described as
passionate.

At the same time, Assistant Gu behind him immediately sent the documents up,
making his boss’s behavior seem a little less of a dog.

Mother Xiao was close, so she could hear clearly. When President Zou shook
hands, he whispered deadpan, “I’m here to talk business, so you can’t drive me
away…”

Qing Yun looked at Zou Chen coldly and said, “It would be a real honor for me to
change a contract and have Zou come in person.”

Father Xiao clarified the situation beside him and questioned Zou Chen with an
absurd expression, “What do you mean, Mr. Zou? It’s only been three years
since Xiao Chengnuo left the Xiao family. What could he have to make you give
up Xiao and choose to work with him? You’re not responsible for the quality of
the collaboration!”

“The strength of Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals is one of the best in the country and is
definitely the best partner for you, so don’t bring your personal feelings to work!”

Xiao Chengzhe chimed in, his mind in utter confusion. Hadn’t he asked Zou
Qiyao for a favor? How did it end up like this? Did Xiao Chengnuo really give Zou
Chen some kind of f*cking drug?
They were also shocked to the extreme; otherwise, they wouldn’t have had the
guts to question Zou Chen vigorously.

“Strength?” Zou Chen chuckled sarcastically as he said, “Of course, Zou

Consortium has to choose the strongest partner. When Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals is
put together with Ruixin Pharmaceuticals, which one do you think will the Zou’s
choose?”

“Ruixin?!” Father Xiao and Xiao Chengzhe cried out in shock. They looked at Xiao
Chengnuo speechless, with an expression as if they had seen a ghost.

Ruixin Pharmaceuticals is the leading existence in the field of biopharmaceuticals,

and it is entirely out of reach for Xiao.

The reason why Ruixin Pharmaceuticals has beaten many established companies
and stood at the top of the field is that Ruixin has brought historic changes to
the world’s medical care, even raising the life expectancy of human beings by
another stage. Of the thousands of pharmaceutical companies in the world,
which one dares to say that it can surpass Ruixin?

To tell Father Xiao now that Xiao Chengnuo is the CEO of Ruixin is merely telling
him that his idol turned out to be his own son!

Mother Xiao was also completely shocked. She only knew that Xiao Chengnuo
started a business outside, and his achievements were not small, but she didn’t
expect her son to be the CEO of this behemoth, Ruixin Pharmaceuticals!

Zou Chen held Qing Yun’s hand tightly, his eyes gentle as he said in admiration,
“It’s my honor to work with Ruixin.”

Mother Xiao looked at what Zou Chen was like and glanced twice at Father Xiao
and Xiao Chengzhe.
Xiao Chengzhe digested this bomb-like news, and his mind immediately
darkened after the disbelief.

Qing Yun swept past the Xiao family in the living room, whose jaws were about
to drop, and Assistant Gu behind Zou Chen. With a rather dangerous smile on
his lips, he tugged on Zou Chen’s tie and headed upstairs, “Get over here!”

Seeing that his boss had achieved his goal, Assistant Gu retreated with a nod
towards Father and Mother Xiao and left the house.

Xiao Chengzhe watched Qing Yun’s figure leave, and the feeling of something
wrong in his heart finally strung together. Xiao Chengnuo dodged his frame-up
over and over again, Xiao Chengnuo began to ignore him, Ruixin
Pharmaceuticals competed with Xiao for partnership opportunities, and Xiao
Chengnuo was even the president of Ruixin Pharmaceuticals!

All of this showed that Xiao Chengnuo knew precisely what he was thinking! He
bounced around like a clown in front of Xiao Chengnuo and thought he was
doing a smart job. At the thought of this, Xiao Chengzhe felt his face burning. It
wasn’t like someone else was reaching out to hit it; instead, he was the one who
stretched his head to put his face over.

Xiao Chengzhe has both shame and confusion in his eyes. Xiao Chengnuo has
become the CEO of Ruixin, and what about him? He only stared at a small Xiao,
even covering it tightly for fear that Xiao Chengnuo would come to rob it. Now
that there was something equivalent to a hundred Xiao’s, Xiao Chengnuo
probably didn’t even care.

Not having the face to look at the expressions of the people behind him, Xiao
Chengzhe left in dismay.

Mother Xiao curled her lips and bowed her head to continue eating her food.
However, Father Xiao couldn’t help but pull his stool over and asked, “Is it that
Ruixin?”.
Mother Xiao ignored him.

Father Xiao moved the chair and changed direction again, “Is it really that Ruixin?
The one that solved cancer once and for all?” He said and gestured with his hand.

“Yes, yes, yes! That’s it! Your son is the president of Ruixin, okay?” Mother Xiao
was annoyed and said with a straight face, “Bah! What your son, you don’t want
my Chengnuo any more, that’s my son!”

After getting Mother Xiao’s affirmative answer, Father Xiao sat on the chair with
a dazed expression. He was silent for a long while until he suddenly cried out
with a sob.

This old man who was over half a hundred years old, sat on the chair and shed
tears. Mother Xiao was stunned: “Ugh, what are you crying about…”

In fact, in the world’s original direction, Xiao Chengnuo was kicked out of the
Xiao family, but Mother Xiao still brought him home from time to time. However,
with Xiao Chengzhe stirring him up again, the father-son bond between Father
Xiao and Xiao Chengnuo soon wore off.

But now, Xiao Chengnuo has been gone for three years without a word, which
made Father Xiao worried. Adding those words that Qing Yun said before he left,
Father Xiao never gave up on Xiao Chengnuo in the past three years. On the
contrary, he felt ashamed and blamed himself, fearing that he was not a good
father and that he had raised his son badly.

Now that he knew that instead of being crippled, this son was a great success,
how could he not be excited? The guilt that had haunted Father Xiao for three
years had finally dissipated a little.
He was oblivious to the storm upstairs.

Qing Yun tugged Zou Chen into his room.

“Do I need you to hit faces for me? Hmm?” Qing Yun’s hands pulled Zou Chen a
little closer with force.

Zou Chen looked at Qing Yun’s face and simply admitted his fault, “No, no, baby,
I was wrong.”

“Oh, where did you go wrong, Mr. Zou?” Qing Yun lifted his foot and kicked Zou
Chen down to the carpet. He sat on the bed by himself and picked up a book to
read, but his white toes were teasing the buttons of Zou Chen’s shirt.

Zou Chen’s eyes darkened, almost unable to restrain himself from kissing Qing
Yun’s ankle. His Adam’s apple slid twice, afraid that Qing Yun would be angry, he
could only endure telling his mistake: “I shouldn’t have let you live in the house
where Zou Qiyao lived, shouldn’t have allowed Zou Qiyao to provoke you three
and four times, shouldn’t have…”

“Hmm, you seem to be quite clear on that?” Qing Yun looked away from the
book and glanced at Zou Chen.

Zou Chen boldly kissed Qing Yun’s toes and said, “I promise there won’t be a
next time.”

He said so, but his eyes were dark. If you’ve got it, you don’t want to lose it.
After spending time with Qing Yun, he couldn’t bear to see him leave.

Not a minute, not a second! He could spoil Qing Yun and be obedient to him, but
this was all on the premise that Qing Yun would stay by his side.
If Qing Yun drove him away again tonight…

Certain dark thoughts once again surfaced in Zou Chen’s mind.

Qing Yun watched the man’s eyes change color in front of him, snorted, and
slapped away the inappropriate thoughts in his head: “What are you thinking?
Hmm?”

“Nothing!”

Qing Yun gave him a glance, got up, and entered the bathroom to wash up.
Today Zou Qiyao had burst in abruptly. It made Qing Yun extremely resentful,
and the thought of him made him feel physically disgusted all over.

Therefore, Qingyun wasn’t prepared to forgive Zou Chen so easily.

As Zou Chen listened to the sound of water outside, he was first a little flustered,
but then it turned into full-blown anxiety. The various intimacies he had with
Qing Yun in the previous two days couldn’t help but surface in his mind. The
desire came easily, but he didn’t have the guts to barge in.

Qing Yun was still angry at this point…

After a few minutes, Qing Yun came out. The bath towel was half-open to reveal
some traces of the chest that have not yet receded, causing Zou Chen’s eyes to
straighten.

Qing Yun walked to Zou Chen with bare feet. Two long thin white legs attracted
Zou Chen to reach out to hug them, but they were coldly turned away.
“From today onwards, you will follow me.” He lifted Zou Chen’s chin and leaned
in close to say wickedly, “I’ll sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor.”

You can see it, but can’t eat it.

Zou Chen instantly understood the meaning of Qing Yun’s words and couldn’t
help but cover his face and howl.

Qing Yun’s eyes flashed with mischief as he threw Zou Chen a set of bedding. He
turned off the lights, went to bed, and finally reminded Zou Chen, “Sleep well, I
don’t want to hear the sound of you doing anything else.”

How, could, I, sleep, like, this!

Chapter 23

With Zou Chen, it was naturally impossible for Qing Yun to stay at the Xiao
family for long. However, a few days after he went out with Zou Chen,
something big happened at the Xiao’s.

“Mom, I’m going back.” Qing Yun hung up on Mother Xiao’s phone and grabbed
his jacket to go out.

Zou Chen, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, saw him and rubbed against
him in his apron, “Going back to the Xiao family? I’ll go with you.”

“No need.” Qing Yun refused his offer. Now that something happened to the Xiao
family like that, Father Xiao would have no place to put his face if Zou Chen was
over.

With a little thought, Zou Chen knew that Xiao Chengzhe’s deed was found out
by Father Xiao. However, he still wasn’t quite at ease and grabbed Qing Yun to
rub against the side of his neck, “That brother of yours is quite scheming, do you
want me to take care of it for you? You know, I worry about you.”

“Don’t. Leave it to me, and there won’t be any danger.” Qing Yun snorted. Xiao
Chengzhe had been rather quiet for a while, he didn’t make any more moves
around Qing Yun.

In the end, Qing Yun went to the Xiao family alone.

Father Xiao and Xiao Chengzhe were sitting face to face. Xiao Chengzhe’s entire
body showed a strange kind of dejectedness, with dark and dull eyes. It seemed
as if the incident with Xiao Chengnuo had really hit him hard.

On the other hand, Father Xiao’s hair was white and looked like he had aged
more than ten years.
“I didn’t think that you could do such a thing.” Father Xiao wiped his face, his
voice hoarse, “I can’t figure out why you’re illegally appropriating Xiao’s property.
It’s our own family’s property; you’re pushing Xiao into the pit of fire! In case
the top comes to investigate…”

Xiao Chengzhe snorted at the words, “Our own family’s property? It’s your
family’s property, and if I want it, I’ll have to take it for myself, of course.”

Father Xiao was stunned by this, he didn’t expect that Xiao Chengzhe, who had
lived in the Xiao family for more than twenty years, would end up saying such
things. He treated Xiao Chengzhe a little better than his own son, so good that
Father Xiao almost forgot about the fact that Xiao Chengzhe was adopted.

“You don’t need to rob him, he was planning to give you Xiao.” Qing Yun walked
through the door and said to Xiao Chengzhe.

Mother Xiao, who had been standing nearby indifferently, greeted him and hung
up Qing Yun’s coat for him. Father Xiao obviously didn’t expect Qing Yun to
come and looked at Mother Xiao with a slight shock.

“What are you looking at me for? With Xiao’s deficit of so much money, am I
waiting for bankruptcy if I don’t call my son in?” Mother Xiao glanced at him and
said in a cold tone.

Father Xiao hadn’t made a sound, but Xiao Chengzhe became agitated because
of Qing Yun’s words, “He’ll hand Xiao over to me? Isn’t that because you already
have Ruixin and don’t need Xiao at all?!”

Father Xiao looked at Xiao Chengzhe fixedly, he didn’t even have the strength to
get angry. Xiao Chengzhe was his most favored and proudest child, and since he
was a child, Father Xiao had only praised him. But now what kind of mood was
he going to use to face the reality that this was all an illusion?

No one paid any attention to Xiao Chengzhe, but Xiao Chengzhe seemed to be
full of anger and had an outlet to vent his anger. He pointed at Father Xiao and
said, “Do you think it’s wrong for me to take that money? This was supposed to
be mine! Did you have nothing to do with my father’s death? Why did you adopt
me if you didn’t? Are you that kind? Still want my father’s shares!”

Father Xiao sat there listening to Xiao Chengzhe’s accusations, looking at him
with slowly changing eyes. He really didn’t expect that Xiao Chengzhe had been
looking at him this way. In Xiao Chengzhe’s eyes, I’m afraid that the entire Xiao
family was his enemy.

Qing Yun slowly walked to Xiao Chengzhe and sat down across from him, his
tone was flat: “Xiao Chengzhe, you are Xiao’s general manager, so you should
know who owns all of Xiao’s shares. Moreover, you should have known that you
have always owned twenty-five percent of Xiao’s shares.”

“Where do you think these shares came from? This is the inheritance your father
left you. The Xiao family hasn’t touched a single cent, even kept a good share of
the dividends over the years for you.”

Qing Yun’s words pierced through Xiao Chengzhe’s lies. His pupils shrank, of
course, he knew these things himself! The first time his heart wanted to get Xiao,
the morality in Xiao Chengzhe’s heart still stopped him, but malicious
speculation followed: What if the Xiao family had wronged him? Wouldn’t he be
justified in taking it?

The father and son were both silent.

It was only after a while that Father Xiao said to Xiao Chengzhe in a hoarse
voice, “You should go abroad to get away from trouble.”

Upon hearing that, Qing Yun looked at him and didn’t say anything, just tore off
a blank check to leave behind, to make up for Xiao’s shortfall.
Father Xiao’s figure stiffened up almost instantly as he took the check, slowly
stood up, and silently walked upstairs.

Qing Yun also did not stay long, he got up and was about to leave.

In the meantime, Mother Xiao looked at Father Xiao’s back and complained to
Qing Yun in an indignant tone, “Did I remember wrongly? You’re not his
biological child?”

Both equally made mistakes. Xiao Chengzhe and Xiao Chengnuo’s treatment on
Father Xiao’s side is too bad.

Qing Yun’s eyes also became condensed, Father Xiao’s attitude made him realize
that the protagonist really wasn’t that easy to bring down. His mission wasn’t
completely finished yet, and perhaps a careless mistake would turn Xiao
Chengnuo into a stepping stone for Xiao Chengzhe again.

The news that the Zou Consortium was going to work with Ruixin
Pharmaceuticals was finally released, causing people to pay close attention. As
Ruixin Pharmaceuticals has always been somewhat mysterious, neither the
technical team nor the management has been exposed, the people’s
understanding of it is still limited to the various drugs the company has launched.

The miraculous effect of the drug gave Ruixin Pharmaceuticals a veil of mystery.

The projects launched by Zou has always attracted attention. Previously, people
have speculated about their partner this time but did not expect that Ruixin
Pharmaceuticals was actually the one invited.

Some people have brought up the strong momentum of Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals,

and at first, everyone had thought that this opportunity for cooperation was
none other than Xiao’s. But now that the results are out, it rather feels like it
should have been.
After all, Zou’s cooperation with Ruixin is a strong alliance, and if it is with Xiao’s,
it can be considered as helping the poor at best.

Xiao Chengzhe sat in the car drinking, he looked at the news on the “Strong
Alliance”, absent-mindedly listening to the words from the phone.

It was a call from Zou Qiyao, who, in a change from his usual self, broke into a
rant over the phone, “I let you get me killed! You got me fucking killed, Xiao
Chengzhe! Are you out of your fucking mind urging me to deal with Xiao
Chengnuo? And you say he’s robbing Xiao from you, but you don’t even look in
the mirror to see what you look like…”

Xiao Chengzhe took a hard gulp of beer. He always felt that it wasn’t right that
things shouldn’t be like this. The person who made a name for himself and went
on to the pinnacle of his life should obviously be him. Xiao Chengnuo should
have been trampled into the dust by him and lived worse than death!

Everything was wrong with Xiao Chengnuo. Without him, everything would be
normal. A trace of madness flashed in Xiao Chengzhe’s eyes as he watched a car
speed past in front of him, and he quickly started the car.

“It’s been a week!” As he drove the car, Zou Chen complained stealthily towards
Qing Yun. These days, he could see but not eat every day. Qing Yun still liked to
provoke him, almost driving Zou Chen mad.

Since being with Qing Yun, neither of them likes to be around other people, so
Zou Chen did it all by himself, driving and cooking all sorts of things. Fortunately,
these trivial matters diverted Zou Chen’s attention, or else he wouldn’t have
been able to endure until now.

“Drive well.” Qing Yun pushed the man who was literally sticking to him. These
days, Zou Chen was dissatisfied with his daily life, and by now, his face could be
described as “haggard”.
In fact, Qing Yun couldn’t bear it anymore. It’s not like he doesn’t have feelings
for Zou Chen, a week is almost the time limit he can endure.

Zou Chen stopped at the side of the road and didn’t speak. He looked pitifully at
Qing Yun, looking like a big dog with drooping ears.

Qing Yun couldn’t help but hook his hand for Zou Chen to come closer, and then
he leaned over and extended his tongue to lick at his dry lips.

The softness on his lips fried Zou Chen’s scalp. He couldn’t help it and hugged
Qing Yun wanting to go a little deeper in. However, the seat belt on both of them
restricted his movement.

“Shit!” Zou Chen raised his hand to unbuckle his seatbelt, but Qing Yun stopped
him.

Qing Yun pushed his shoulder and pointed out the car window, where there
happened to be a convenience store on the side of the road.

“I like strawberry flavor, go quickly, I’ll wait for you.” Warm breath fluttered in
Zou Chen’s ears as Qing Yun’s seductive words pounced on his ears. Zou Chen’s
eyes reddened as if he was a devouring beast. He unbuckled his seatbelt,
hugged, and kissed Qing Yun fiercely before getting out of the car and walking
towards the convenience store.

If Zou Chen wants something, someone will bring it over, so there’s absolutely
no need for him to buy it himself. He didn’t know but this was just another
instance of Qing Yun wanting to see him embarrassed.

Qing Yun watched Zou Chen’s impatience as he walked into the convenience
store, and the curvature of his mouth was abruptly turned up.
The consciousness he left on Xiao Chengzhe was approaching fast.

Qing Yun guessed Xiao Chengzhe’s plan, and his face slowly calmed down. He
hadn’t expected Xiao Chengzhe to be so crazy, but it was exactly what Qing Yun
wanted. Xiao Chengzhe would drive his car into him in public, and with Ruixin’s
and Zou Chen’s influence, Xiao Chengzhe would definitely have no chance of
turning over a new leaf.

And he could take the opportunity to get out of this world just in time for the
main character to be ultimately defeated and his mission completed. He had
always been ruthless, not only to others but to himself as well.

Thinking of this, Qing Yun turned his head to quietly look at the man in the
convenience store with a serious face picking out a condom.

Zou Chen paid with a stern face and was about to go out carrying a bag of goods
when he heard a loud bang. Zou Chen’s heart shrank; he couldn’t care less
about anything, and immediately rushed out.
Chapter 24

“Chengnuo! Xiao Chengnuo!”

Seeing the charred and blackened cars in flames, Zou Chen only felt a stinging
pain in his eyes, and the warm liquid was about to gush out immediately.

Liar! Liar! What did you say about waiting for him?

He was about to lunge at the blaze with his red eyes wide open but was held
back forcefully by the bodyguard who arrived in time.

The crowd was chattering, and the bodyguards were constantly talking in his ear,
but Zou Chen couldn’t hear anything. He only knew that his youth, the youth he
loved, was still inside.

It was not easy for him to gain a new life, but now his heart was pulled out of
his body, causing him to curl up in pain.

Just as Zou Chen was on the verge of going mad, he heard someone call out to
him.

“Zou Chen.”

The voice was like a clear spring, familiar, making Zou Chen want to shed tears.
He turned his head to look with a head of disheveled hair, Qing Yun was
standing behind him with a white shirt and the jacket he had picked out for this
morning hung at the crook of his arm.

He was fine.
Zou Chen broke away from the bodyguards behind him and walked over. He
stretched out his hand and slowly touched the young man’s warm cheek with a
gentle movement as if he was afraid of shattering a dream.

“You’re fine. You’re okay, right?” Zou Chen asked softly, and when he saw the
person in front of him nod, he pounced on him fiercely and wrapped him tightly
in his arms.

He cupped Qing Yun’s face and kissed him deeply, even left bruises on Qing
Yun’s cheeks, but it seemed that this was the only way for Zou Chen to feel the
pain in his chest dissipate a bit.

“Idiot, I said I’d wait for you.” Qing Yun stroked Zou Chen’s back, speaking as if
he hadn’t moved away.

The bodyguard behind came over, reported to Zou Chen, “President, the one
who drove up was Xiao Chengzhe.”

Upon hearing that, Zou Chen withdrew his body slightly, but his hands were still
clamping down on Qing Yun’s shoulders.

His face was gloomy and his voice obscure, “Didn’t you say there was no danger!”

“I shouldn’t have let you work it out on your own. You’re not allowed to interfere
in Xiao’s affairs from now on!”

“I’m fine, aren’t I?” Qing Yun raised his chin at him and moved his foot as if he
had kicked something. He looked down and saw a bag full of pink boxes.

Did this guy empty the stock of someone’s convenience store?

Zou Chen’s eyes were as dark as ink, and he couldn’t see any light at all. He
took Qing Yun tightly into his arms, followed his line of sight to the bags on the
ground, and said, “These, none of them can be wasted.”

Qing Yun was startled, feeling something terrible…

The Zou Consortium and Ruixin Pharmaceuticals have started their collaborative
project, and the world was looking forward to the results of this collaboration.

Although the results have yet to come out, the mystery of Ruixin Pharmaceutical
has been lifted a little. Various aspects of the enterprise have been slowly
revealed, such as Zhao Bowen, who has a high status in the academic world
among the research team, and then the president of Ruixin Pharmaceuticals,
Xiao Chengnuo.

Xiao Chengnuo’s name was not unfamiliar, as Xiao’s Pharmaceuticals was also a
slightly famous company. But the strange thing was that Zhao Bowen, who was
frequently poached by major research institutes and other companies, not only
stayed at Ruixin Pharmaceuticals with all his heart but also repeatedly talked
about Xiao Chengnuo in his speech. He had more than a little admiration for him,
and even mistakenly referred to him as a teacher a few times.

This couldn’t help but make people pay more attention to Xiao Chengnuo.

Yan City’s upper-class society was just those few, and those who had attended
Father Xiao’s birthday banquet three years ago were extremely familiar with the
name Xiao Chengnuo. But even if they thought highly of Xiao Chengnuo and the
Xiao family at that time, it was only because they were involved with Zou Chen.

But now, it is different. Instead of inheriting the family fortune, Xiao Chengnuo,
who founded Ruixin Pharmaceuticals on his own, has become a model for the
children of wealthy families.
The upper-class society of Yan City is once again in a frenzy of “Xiao Chengnuo”,
but unlike three years ago, no one dares to talk about it this time, because after
all, neither of the two big bosses can be easily provoked.

Xiao Chengnuo, who has been labeled as “not to be messed with”, has not
appeared in the public eye recently.

Because…he can’t get out of bed yet.

This time it seemed to have struck a nerve with Zou Chen. Zou Chen detained
Qing Yun by his side, and even Mother and Father Xiao, who had come to visit,
were stopped by him.

He was unwilling to force Qing Yun, not to mention using any illegal means. He
took only one measure, and that was to do it.

Qing Yun left him hanging for a week. This time, he pressed Qing Yun to do it on
the bed for a whole week, and those things that Zou Chen had bought earlier
had already been used up.

Zou Chen took a bowl of porridge and went to the bedside to feed it to Qing Yun.
He tensed his face, “From now on, you can only eat the food I feed you and
wear the clothes I choose. Everything about you is under my control.”

Xiao Chengzhe’s incident really scared Zou Chen. Now, he regretted why he
hadn’t tied Qing Yun up as soon as he met him, and took care of any possible
danger around him.

Qing Yun swallowed the last mouthful of porridge. He indifferently took the
tissue handed over by Zou Chen and wiped his mouth. Then, he leaned against
the bed and gently shook the bell on his ankle.
There was a red rope tied around his ankle, and two silver bells hung from it,
making his ankle fair as jade. What was even more annoying was that the bells
rang so unusually cheerfully at certain times that it was hard to ignore them.

The red rope stretched all the way to the foot of the bed, not knowing where the
other end was tied.

Looking at the look on Qing Yun’s face, Zou Chen’s heart struck a nerve. He
immediately jumped up and hugged Qing Yun, “You are not allowed to refuse!”

Qing Yun slapped his dog’s head and lifted his eyes with displeasure, “Oh? Really?
You try going crazy again?”

“…” Zou Chen was silent. He knew that Qing Yun had been messing with him for
a week, which was already considered “spoiled.” Now that the little dark room
play had been acquired, he wasn’t as obsessed as he had been in the beginning.
If he tried to figure out how to make a scene now, he was afraid that Qing Yun
would be angry.

“Well?” Qing Yun raised his chin at him.

Zou Chen crawled numbly to the end of the bed, untied the rope from Qing Yun’s
ankles, and then got on his knees to admit his mistake.

“Baby, I was wrong…”

Zou Chen subsided, and only then did Qing Yun have time to digest the energy
coming from this world.

The main character is worthy of being the protagonist. A car accident plus an
explosion, Xiao Chengzhe was still alive, but with Zou Chen, he’s probably better
off dead and comfortable.
Mother Xiao was afraid that Father Xiao would go soft on Xiao Chengzhe’s behalf
again, so she put down her harsh words that if Father Xiao helped Xiao
Chengzhe even a little bit, they would divorce.

Zou Chen even made information about the black hand that Xiao Chengzhe had
played on Xiao Chengnuo over the years, and packaged it up to give to Father
Xiao so that he could take a good look at what he had raised.

Qing Yun has accompanied Zou Chen in this world for a hundred years, and the
reason he didn’t choose to leave in the first place was that he wasn’t sure if he
would meet Zou Chen next time. Although he followed him into this world, what
about next time?

Who knows, will this be the last time?

Therefore, Qing Yun decided to stay with him for the rest of his life.

Before he died, Zou Chen’s entire body fell back into a great panic. He tightly
held Qing Yun’s wrist, his tremendous strength was not like it was from a dying
old man.

Qing Yun leaned over, kissed him lightly on the lips, and whispered in his ear,
“Next time, come back to me, eh?”

Only then did Zou Chen settle down, calmly accepting death.

Qing Yun once again returned to the rift in the void, he had already finished
digesting the energy while he was staying in the last world. To Qing Yun’s
surprise, the energy of each world seemed to be a good tonic for his soul. It
didn’t feel like an upgrade after absorbing the energy, but rather like it was
filling an innate defect.
Thinking of this, Qing Yun frowned. He was born disabled and suffered from a
serious illness; no matter how much he improved his cultivation, the ailment was
never far away from him in the slightest. Earlier, Qing Yun thought that it was
because the Heavenly Dao was targeting him, but now it seemed like the
problem was rather with his soul.

It was useless to think about this much. One world at a time, he would always
get the answer he wanted.

An illusory ball of light solidified on Qing Yun’s fingertips, it was the world he had
just detached from.

Playing with the world in his hands, thoughts flashed in Qing Yun’s eyes.

That man, what was going on? What does he have to do with the Heavenly Dao?

Qing Yun waved his hand, and the first world that had been floating in the rift
flew towards him. He pinched the two worlds and parted two strands of his
consciousness to carefully peer into the worlds, looking for a soul that he could
feel familiar and close to.

There was none.

Neither Nie Chenyuan nor Zou Chen’s soul was in the world in which they
appeared.

As expected, Qing Yun smiled lightly.

Souls would transform their bodies, and it was because they were identical that
he was familiar with Zou Chen’s scent.
This time, Qing Yun didn’t stop for too long to directly escape into the next world.
He was simply looking forward to it.

As soon as he entered this new body, Qing Yun almost fell over. He just about
dropped, but the old man next to him was solidly on the ground, his gold-
rimmed glasses flying out.

A group of men with guns on their shoulders caught up behind them; these were
star pirates.

The main direction of this world instantly entered Qing Yun’s mind. He couldn’t
care about anything else, he pulled up the old man on the ground and ran
forward.

This is the interstellar era, Qing Yun’s name is now Jorah. He is a student at the
art academy, and the starship he was riding in was hijacked by a group of star
pirates named Flamingo. At the moment, he is escaping from the star pirates.

Qing Yun ran towards the location of the escape pod in his memory, but his face
was gloomy to the extreme.

This current body of his was simply surprisingly weak, and he was panting after
only running two steps. But even with such weakness, Qing Yun didn’t dare to
let go of the old man he was pulling in his hands.

If this old man got into the hands of the star pirates, this journey of Qing Yun
would be in vain.

The Federation to which Jorah belonged was fighting the Flamingo because the
Flamingo had stolen the genetic sequences of billions of people in the Federation.
All of the Federation people are artificially embellished with a series of special
sequences on their genes as a sign of identification. These sequences are stored
in a chip, which is now in the hands of the Flamingo.

No one had expected that Flamingo, a star pirate organization, would have
mastered the ability to make genetic weapons. As long as the chip was
deciphered, the Flamingo would be able to create a genetic weapon against the
entire Federation, and it would be easy to control or even destroy the whole
Federation at that time.

In the entire Federation, other than the Federal Marshal, the only one who could
crack the chip was the old man that Qing Yun was pulling in his hands — Dr.
Ramiel.

The star pirates following behind seemed to be afraid of hurting Dr. Ramiel and
didn’t use weapons with great killing power.

A strong gust of wind came, and the closely pursuing star pirates slammed a
rifle butt towards Qing Yun. Qing Yun ducked and swept up the bandit’s neck
with a flying kick.

With a “bang”, Qing Yun was bounced straight off the ground.

His eyes widened in disbelief, this body was still so weak now? He had
completely let go of the restrictions and allowed his soul to carry the energy to
transform this body. Where had all that energy converted to?

The star pirate carrying the gun came over with a fierce smile on his face. Qing
Yun’s soul quickly swept over his body, and suddenly his entire body froze.

Fertility?
What the hell kind of attribute is that? It consumed so much of his energy!

yuzu: New Arc! The author says that there won’t be a birth plot for this though
ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
Arc 3. His Singing Voice
Chapter 25

Filled with a sense of absurdity that made Qing Yun dazed, he looked furiously at
the star pirates. With a twist of his body, his legs clamped down on the star
pirate’s arm holding the weapon, and with all his strength, he viciously twisted
the arm off, snatching the machine gun away.

A trace of consciousness disturbed the balance of energy in the machine gun,

and Qing Yun smashed the machine gun towards the incoming star pirates.

“Boom!”

Fortunately, this world’s restrictions on spiritual consciousness were slightly

weaker; otherwise, there would be trouble.

Qing Yun picked up Dr. Ramiel on one side and quickly dashed into a hidden
corner.

Finally, with great effort, he reached the area where escape pods were placed.
With a quick glance, Qing Yun discovered that all the escape pods had been
destroyed by star pirates.

“What the…” Dr. Ramiel was visibly surprised to see the pods falling apart, but
he immediately came to comfort Qing Yun, “Son, don’t be discouraged, we’ll
think of something.”

This child can be said to have tried his best to protect his old bones along the
way, but on the contrary, it made Ramiel a bit uncomfortable. After all, Qing Yun
didn’t look much better than him, his little arms and legs were broken, and he
was even more breathless when he ran.
Although Ramiel was surprised for a moment by the energy riot of the machine
gun, he didn’t put this suspicion on Qing Yun’s head. After all, he looked too
weak.

Qing Yun ignored him, searching carefully for the information in his memory. He
looked towards a corner and then walked over to it with a frown. With great
effort, he moved two destroyed escape pods and found one intact at the back.

An escape pod can only hold one person.

In the world’s original direction, Jorah did not know Dr. Ramiel’s identity and his
desire to survive led him to kick Dr. Ramiel out of the Starship and fly the
escape pod himself. Dr. Ramiel was captured by the pirates, but Jorah was not
able to escape. Not only was he shot, but he became a criminal to the
Federation.

Without any hesitation, Qing Yun opened the hatch of the escape pod and
shoved Dr. Ramiel in without saying a word. With Ramiel’s ability, even if he
couldn’t escape from the star pirates encirclement, he would still be able to
conceal himself.

“Kid, you go first, I’m an old man…” Ramiel was startled by Qing Yun,
immediately grabbed the hatch, and withdrew to Qing Yun.

“Shut up!” Qing Yun yelled at him with a stern face, “The star pirates chasing us
are from Flamingo, for the Federation, you get the hell back!”

Dr. Ramiel froze, looking at the soft and weak boy in front of him, apparently not
expecting him to say such a thing.

Though confused as to how the boy knew who he was, it didn’t affect Ramiel’s
reaction to Qing Yun’s words.
Any other person saying such words, Ramiel could understand, but this feeble
child, who had fought so hard to protect him all the way, and who was still so
considerate in the face of survival decisions, gave him a moment of respect.

After all…if he hadn’t been able to smell the pheromones on the teenager, he
almost thought he was an omega based on the teenager’s appearance.

“On behalf of the entire Federation, I present to you…”

Ramiel was only halfway through the display of one of the Federation’s highest
rituals when Qing Yun interrupted, “Flee towards the southeast!”

The Federation attacked the Flamingo’s main ship, but was misdirected and hit
in the wrong direction. Instead, an opening was made in the southeast, far from
the main Flamingo ship, so the southeast was the least protected.

Slamming the escape hatch shut, Qing Yun didn’t have the heart to bullshit with
him and turned his head to run in the other direction. To ensure that Dr. Ramiel
could escape, he had to distract the star pirates.

While fleeing and sorting out the information in his mind, Qing Yun’s face was
strangely pale, and he couldn’t help but burst out in a foul mood. What kind of
messed up world was this? People were even divided into six genders! And he
happened to be a man who could have children?

No wonder that in accordance with the “gift” that comes with this body, the
energy carried in his soul by default strengthens the property of fertility…….

In fact, the world is not particularly restricted to omegas. Those in good physical
condition can still join the military, rather than just stay home and have children.
One such omega is General Corsi of the 4th Federal Army.
Jorah was very impressed with Corsi because…he stole Jorah’s fiancé, and Jorah
made a big deal about it. This time, Jorah injected inhibitors to go back to the
Federation’s capital planet to go get his fiancé back.

What the hell is all this…

But soon, Qing Yun had no desire to think of anything else, because a group of
star pirates, a group of heavily armed alphas, appeared in front of him.

Thanks to Jorah’s good quality inhibitor, Qing Yun was brought back intact.

“Ow! Boss, we made sure the escape pods were destroyed! There’s no way that
old thing Ramiel could escape!” A star pirate’s wailing voice sounded outside the
door of the interrogation room.

With his excellent hearing, he caught the sound, Qing Yun dropped his eyes
without showing the slightest difference.

The pirates wouldn’t expect that there was still an escape pod left, and this time,
they probably thought that Ramiel was still hiding somewhere.

Dr. Ramiel’s ability to escape the Flamingo’s pursuit is directly related to

whether or not Qing Yun’s mission in this world fails.

Thinking of this, Qing Yun couldn’t help but bite his teeth. Crossing into this
body has already consumed a lot of energy, not to mention that he also
consumed some additional energy to “transform” this body.

If he didn’t get the energy feedback from this world, he would suffer a significant
loss.
His eyes slowly became determined, Qing Yun would never make a loss-making
deal!

“Yo, I heard you guys kidnapped a cutie.”

A frivolous and suave voice rang out, the interrogation room doors opened to
either side, and an alpha with long, fiery red hair walked in.

He was the leader of the Flamingo, the protagonist of this world, Apollon.

Apollon is the illegitimate son of a Princess of the Kassa Empire and a high
ranking Federation official. As a result, Apollon was abandoned by his parents as
a child and hated both the Federation and the Kassa Empire. After founding
Flamingo, breaking the Federation was just the first step in his quest to rule the
world.

Qing Yun was strapped to the interrogation chair, his hands and feet both pinned
down, finger-thick ropes of glistening blue light sunk viciously into his flesh.

He watched as Apollon slowly approached, his eyes grew cold. This was the first
time that Qing Yun was facing the protagonist with this extremely messy image.

“Tell me, little one, where did that old thing Ramiel escape to? Hmm?” Apollon
picked up Qing Yun’s chin and asked in a gentle tone. His eyes were like the blue
sea, full of drowning gentleness, but the force of his hands was not restrained,
which left two bruised fingerprints on Qing Yun’s chin.

The young man did not speak, his night-sky black eyes looked at Apollon with
disdain, as if he couldn’t hide his pride even if he was in such a disadvantaged
situation.
Apollon had a burst of anger watching the teenager. The most unbearable thing
he couldn’t stand was such disdainful eyes.

“That’s a shame, get the psychotropic potion,” Apollon said to the man behind
him as he withdrew his hand loosely. He was too intent on cracking the gene
chip to tease the weak and pathetic Jorah in front of him.

“Boss, there’s only one psychotropic potion left. The next supply won’t arrive for
a week.” A one-eyed star pirate behind Apollon said with a hesitant face.

An interrogation was now very simple; there was no need for any psychological
or ** torture. A shot of the psychotropic agent would act as a mental deterrent
and make the prisoner spit out the secrets the interrogator wanted.

That was why Dr. Ramiel couldn’t be caught by the star pirates, or else the way
to crack the chip would be known to Apollon.

“Only one left?” Apollon raised his voice, clearly upset. He frowned as he asked,
“Are you sure all the escape pods are destroyed?”

“Yes, absolutely all destroyed to the point where you can’t even open the hatch!”

Upon hearing that, Qing Yun’s thoughts moved. He had to stall the group of star
pirates and make them focus on searching the inside of the starship instead of
increasing the search on the periphery. After all, it would take at least three to
five days for Dr. Ramiel to break through the star pirates’ encirclement and
return to the Federation.

Apollon coldly scanned Jorah, who was sitting on the interrogation chair, the
teenager’s fine soft black hair plastered to his cheeks, making his skin even
more fair and fragile, and his slender neck seemed like it would shatter with a
gentle grip.
The boy was simply feeble as an omega. Yes, due to the injections of inhibitors,
these star pirates still only regarded him as a beta that had yet to come of age.

“Save that potion for Ramiel.” Apollon sat leisurely in a chair beside him,
“Torture him.”

As soon as Apollon finished speaking, the guard behind Qing Yun reached out to
turn on the button on the interrogation chair.

“Wait.” Unexpectedly, Apollon’s words changed, “How pointless would it be to

use the chair’s program? Isn’t that right, Chris?”

Apollon slowly turned his chair to look at the man who had been standing by the
door. Everyone’s eyes turned together, Qing Yun was no exception.

The man standing by the door initially was without presence, but this man’s
appearance in the eyes of the crowd was like slowly removing the dust and
becoming sharp.

He slowly stepped forward, his platinum-colored long hair with a cold metallic
luster hanging down to his waist and his knife-edged, deep face was stern and
handsome.

The sound of army boots knocking against the floor sounded as regular as his
unmistakable steps. Chris’s silver pupils were completely cold, with no trace of
emotion to be found.

Chris Delaware, the Federation’s First Legion General and candidate to be the
next Federal Marshal. However, as an existence like a God of War in the hearts
of the Federation, Chris betrayed the Federation when the Flamingo attacked
and went into the arms of the enemy.
His betrayal caused the Federation’s spiritual pillars to collapse in an instant, and
all of them were in disbelief.

The case seems to be that Chris has been taking the death of his parents in the
political turmoil of the Federation to heart, destroying most of the members of
the First Legion, and taking several of the First Legion’s soldiers with A+ health
into captivity and taking them to the enemy.

As soon as Chris stepped forward, Qing Yun felt a sudden rise in momentum
behind him. He looked back and saw that this interrogation room was connected
to the other cells. Now that the barrier had been lowered, several Federation
captives were standing behind the cage, their eyes bloodshot as they looked at
Chris.

How much they once believed in Chris, how much they hate him now! They
watched Chris destroy the First Legion’s main ship with a particle cannon, killing
the brothers who had fought and died together without blinking, leaving only a
few of them behind as a gift to the enemy.

They were injected with psychotropic drugs and were conscious but unable to
contain the various secrets about the Federation.

There was no torture, no kind of brutal psychological oppression; they just

watched themselves answer questions and betray their country. After the effects
of the drug wore off, their spirits were on the verge of collapse.

“Ho!” One gripped the railing, pounding and roaring like a wild animal, but curled
up on the ground howling in pain when he was done.

This is not only the aftermath of a psychotropic agent but also the collapse of
faith.
“What.” Ignoring the scene behind Qing Yun, Chris asked Apollon sideways.
Although the words were inquisitive, there was no tone of a question.

He was simply like a robot.

Apollon looked at Chris with scrutiny in his eyes. A character like Chris suddenly
defected to the enemy, naturally, he couldn’t believe it with his paranoia. But
the benefits Chris brought was undoubtedly massive as he knew almost all the
Federation secrets.

To discern whether Chris had truly betrayed the Federation, Apollon injected him
with psychotropic drugs as well. Four injections in a row, but the frightening
thing was that the man remained as he was now, utterly devoid of any emotions.

With a scowl in his eyes, Apollon quirked his lips and said, “Since you’ve wasted
so much psychotropic potion, this little guy’s interrogation will be yours.”

“Look at how cute he looks at you with his eyes wide open, Chris, you have to
do it gently.”

Chris turned his head at the words and looked at the teenager in the
interrogation chair whose eyes seemed to sparkle with fire.

He looked calm.

“Good.”
Chapter 26

Chris will never hold back because his betrayal itself is false.

The Federation could have resorted to a direct siege of the Flamingo, but the
star pirates are cunning enough to transfer the chip if they see that the situation
is not right. So the Federation can’t, they can only send Chris over to prepare for
a breakthrough from within.

Seeing the man approaching, Qing Yun’s thoughts changed sharply. Chris
pretended to join the enemy to get the genetic chip back, but according to the
original course, Jorah’s selfishness led to Dr. Ramiel’s arrest, and Chris’ plan was
destroyed before it could be completed.

Qing Yun looked deep into this man’s silver eyes, but there was no emotion in
them at all.

The fact that this man was able to carry the scorn of the entire Federation and
go into the enemy’s camp already shows how strong a sense of responsibility
this man has.

In his heart, I am afraid that everything is not as important as the lives of the
people of the Federation.

But being looked at with hatred by his former comrades who lived and died with
him, and being scolded with harsh words by the people he protects with all his
heart, does this man really feel no emotion at all?

The outcome of Qing Yun’s mission in this world depends on Dr. Ramiel’s ability
to escape the pirates, but the success of this mission depends on Chris’ success
in getting the chip.

But before that, Qing Yun has one more crisis – he has to be careful that this
man doesn’t kill him while he’s under interrogation!
The federal soldiers behind him were looking at Qing Yun like tigers, wishing to
kill him before he could tell them where Dr. Ramiel was.

Seeing the murderous intent in Chris’ eyes, Qing Yun scolded without hesitation,
“Traitor!”.

He smirked on the inside, trying to impress Chris with his “I’m the only person in
the world who firmly believes in you” act.

Dream on!

This man thinks he can’t stand torture? A little intimidation, and I’ll tell you
where Dr. Ramiel is?

Okay, then let Chris see if he can hold out.

But before he does, let him stab Chris in the heart first! I wonder what it’s like
for the former Federation God of War to be spat on by his former fans in such
close quarters?

This was the first time the teenager had made a sound since he was tied up, and
although the words were an angry rebuke, they could not hide the beauty of the
teenager’s voice. The voice was like a firework, leaving everyone present
stunned, clearly shaken by the crisp voice.

All eyes shifted away from Chris and onto the tied-up teenager.

His eyes seemed to burn with anger, mistrust, and disappointment mixed
together, and finally turned into full-blown hatred. After cursing, the visibly
angry teenager also lowered his head and bit Chris’s fingers on his collar.
The porcelain white teeth knocked on Chris’s knuckles with silver protective
gloves. It didn’t leave even the slightest trace, but the hidden wisp of a sweet
red tongue that was fascinating to imagine.

Feeling the gazes cast by a group of star pirate heads, Qing Yun cursed once
again in his heart. Because there was no deliberate guidance, almost all of the
soul’s modifications to the body were placed on two aspects, one being fertility
and the other being voice.

Because Jorah was a student of the singing department of the Art Academy, he
originally had some talent for this. After the transformation, Jorah’s voice even
had a kind of bewitching magic power.

But Qing Yun wasn’t satisfied at all; what kind of fucking abilities were these?

Chris’s silver eyes did not fluctuate, he did not pause at all at the young man’s
angry words and actions. With a flick of his wrist, he drew back the fingers from
Qing Yun’s mouth, squeezed his neck, and hung the man on the gallows behind
him.

All kinds of cold reprimanding words Chris had heard many, none of which could
disturb his mind, he knew what his mission was, and even more so, he knew
that he was carrying on his shoulders the lives of hundreds of millions of people
in the Federation.

Therefore, he must not waver.

Seeing this, Apollon applauded and laughed out loud, “Chris, do you see how
angry he is, is he your little fan?”
“I wonder how it feels to be whipped by your own idol?” Said Apollon as he
pulled out a whip with an arc of electricity and tossed it to Chris. He looked up
and down at the teenager hanging from the gallows.

The teenager’s voice was so beautiful that he couldn’t stand to hear it.

Chris reached for the whip and asked the boy in front of him in a cold voice,
“Where is Dr. Ramiel.”

Qing Yun snarled, ignoring his words.

Electricity flashed, and a blue shadow lashed out at him. The silver-blue tail of
the delicate whip swept across the teenager’s fragile neck, leaving a bloody gash
on his chin. The pulsing electricity from the whip viciously stimulated Qing Yun’s
nerve endings as it touched his skin, causing him to feel even more pain.

The blood instantly clouded the youth’s clothing.

Chris, he knew Jorah. Not that Chris paid much attention to Jorah, but Jorah
happened to have caused some minor trouble in the Federation. This also had
something to do with Chris’s fellow officer, Lucas, the leader of the Second
Legion, and the Fourth Legion’s omega Admiral, Corsi, which was why Chris had
stored Jorah like data in his own brain.

A weak and self-conscious omega, that’s all Chris remembers about Jorah.

Chris didn’t think Jorah would survive his torture. After all, Chris will never let
Jorah reveal Dr. Ramiel’s whereabouts, his mission is all about success, not
failure!

Of course, Chris would not pretend that he had missed killing Jorah. Such a
tactic was too clumsy to be hidden from Apollon’s eyes. What Chris was going to
do was to use his SSS-level mental power to quietly pound Jorah’s brain and
make him a complete idiot.

The next whip arrived with the sound of the wind, Qing Yun gritted his teeth and
didn’t utter a word, not even deviating to avoid it, only looking at Chris
provocatively.

He was furious now, his eyes shining brightly, but the outer edges took on a ring
of tears from the physical pain.

Being gazed at by such a pair of eyes, Chris did not move at all, the curve of his
mouth did not even change, the hand holding the whip was steady as a rock.

Another whip, this one hit the teenager’s chest, the barbs on the whip clattered
and tore open the black shirt on the teenager’s body, the pale skin was exposed,
and even more so, the bloodstains on his body were shocking.

Qing Yun still didn’t utter a word, leaving a trace of blood on his tightly pursed
lips. Clearly, he had accidentally bitten his lip while enduring the pain.

Chris dropped his eyes to sweep over the blood-soaked teenager, his cold silver
eyes flashed with a trace of surprise in their depths. He was surprised that Jorah
had made it this far, he would have expected Jorah to be crying and begging for
mercy when the first lash hit him.

After all, the Jorah he knew didn’t have the same good character as all the tough,
strong ones.

Qing Yun opened his eyes to stare back unwillingly. These eyes were extremely
bright, like there was an unyielding faith burning in them.

Chris faintly raised his eyebrows.

These eyes, they were beautiful.

The teenager raised his chin at him provocatively again, as if taunting him with
his persistence as a traitor to the enemy.

But Chris did not take it lightly, his mental energy was always ready to fire. If
the teenager showed even the slightest sign of weakness and evasion, he would
not hesitate to release his destructive mental energy.

However, Qing Yun’s performance shocked everyone, he didn’t beg for mercy
like the surrounding star pirates and captives thought, nor did he pass out from
physical exhaustion.

This young man seemed to have some extremely important conviction in his
heart to support it and has been gritting his teeth with a firm gaze to endure the
flogging of his body. Perhaps he was displeased with the frivolous behavior of
the crowd after the last time he made a sound, the teenager did not reveal even
the slightest sound at all in the following torture.

What a pity.

Seeing such a lovely and fascinating body in front of their own eyes become
broken flesh, everyone could not stop staring at the young man on the gallows.

The more stubborn and unyielding they are, the more they provoke the vicious
star pirates to want to torment them. Every one of them expects the young man
to open his mouth and let out a cry of pain or even a plea for mercy.

But they were destined to not be satisfied.

The star pirates’ manpower was not enough. The Federation’s artillery fire struck
again, and the crowd in the interrogation room had no choice but to leave, so
Qing Yun finally had some breathing space.

Before Apollon walked away, he instructed the star pirates around him, “It’s too
perfunctory to entertain our little cutie with just a whip, you guys find something
else tomorrow, like a mental deterrent or something…”

Before he left, Chris glanced back. The teenager was hanging from the gallows
with his head hanging down, so he couldn’t see his face.

He didn’t use an ordinary whip, the instant it was flung, the barbs would pop out
of the whip and hook hard on the skin of the person being interrogated. It was
followed by the release of electricity, stimulating the nerves around the wound,
and making the senses sharper.

All in all, this should not be pain that an ordinary omega could endure.

However, Jorah’s insistence was meaningless. This was only the first day of the
torture, and next, the star pirates would inflict all their cruelty on the teenager
one by one.

In Chris’s opinion, an art school omega didn’t have the qualities to survive these
torture techniques.

The door to the interrogation room slowly closed before Qing Yun’s eyes, and the
walls around it rose again, cutting off communication between Qing Yun and the
captives behind him. The interrogation room became pitch black, using the
darkness to torture the captives was an old tactic.

Qing Yun’s eyes glowed in the darkness, and he stared at the closed door
without a second thought.
He had to kill these people.

Lowering his head to check his injuries, Qing Yun’s flesh ached to extract some
energy from his soul to repair his body. He wasn’t afraid of pain, but this body
was too weak, and one careless mistake could kill him, so Qing Yun had to be
careful.

Fortunately, the body that had been injured and repaired again would slowly
become stronger. Otherwise, he would be at a great loss this time.

If after completing this world’s mission, the world’s feedback energy didn’t
satisfy Qing Yun, he wouldn’t hesitate to crush the world!

After a moment, Chris, who had just left, suddenly reappeared in front of the
interrogation room door.

He opened a small square window from the outside to look in, his excellent
eyesight allowing him to see clearly even in the dark.

The teenager was resting, his head hung low, breathing regularly, but it was
clear that his injuries were causing him problems. Even in his sleep, the
teenager was in pain, and from time to time, he let out unbearable soft grunts.

It turned out that he was afraid of pain.

Chris, who was ready to make a secret move and take advantage of the
opportunity to make Qing Yun stupid, suddenly hesitated. He frowned as he
closed the window, turned around, and left the place.
It wasn’t too late to do it tomorrow. If something happened to Jorah tonight, it
might arouse Apollon’s suspicions.

Chris walked quietly, his right thumb lightly brushed the second knuckle of his
index finger, exactly where the teenager had bitten it.

After only a few hours, the interrogation room opened again.

Qing Yun’s eyes opened in response, avoiding the embarrassment of being

awakened by a splash of water.

Apollon strode up and pinned Qing Yun’s neck, his tone was harsh, “Say it,
where is Ramiel?”

He was obviously a little impatient, the genetic chip was always unbreakable,
and the Federation’s military power was not weak in the slightest. Moreover, at
this time, the Federation was also quietly transferring personnel. By the time
that the personnel had been transferred, there would be no use in successfully
making his genetic weapon, how could Apollon not be anxious?

“Wondering where the Doctor is?” On hearing the words, Qing Yun smiled
sarcastically, “Begging me, huh?”

He raised his head, a good-looking little face filled with arrogance and pride, and
a glance that seemed to lower people to the dust.

“Pah!” Apollon slaps Qing Yun, but his tone shifts off into a strange kind of
gentleness, “Baby, do you see what I’ve brought you today?”

A few star pirates carried a huge instrument in, this was precisely the mental
deterrent that Apollon had said before. The interrogation of prisoners before the
development of psychotropic drugs had always been inseparable from this.
After having the psychotropic agent, these torture tools were basically expensive,
it took a bit of effort for Apollon to find these. It was not going to be easy for
Qing Yun.

“I’ll say it again, a mental deterrent is not something a weak little cutie like you
can handle. You’ll have a nervous breakdown and not even remember who you
are. Just tell me where Ramiel is, and I’ll let you go, how about that?”

Apollon caressed Qing Yun’s smooth and still face, “You look so lovely, you
shouldn’t have suffered all this. The Federation is already bound to lose, your
persistence is pointless.”

The words seemed to have trampled on the sanctuary in the young man’s heart,
and Qing Yun’s voice went cold for a moment, “The Federation will not lose.”

“Even without Chris…” said Qing Yun with a mocking look towards Chris,
“Without Chris, the traitor, the Federation will still win.”

Hearing the young man’s words, the Federation soldier sitting slumped at the
base of the wall behind him slowly cast his dumbfounded gaze over.

Apollon, however, laughed a bit as if he had heard something funny, “The

Federation will fail, that’s a fact, just like you can’t withstand a mental deterrent.”

Afterward, he looked at Chris with a hint of grimness, “Chris, come put a mental
deterrent on your little fan, and be careful, just hook him up to a wire, so you
don’t break the guy.”

Chris didn’t hesitate and tugged on a wire from the mental deterrent to connect
it to the back of the teenager’s head.
He had no reaction on his face, but his mind was slowly turning. The reason why
the mental deterrent had been replaced by a psychotropic drug was that it was
too powerful and difficult to control. It was enough to deter Jorah with just one
wire.

Chris secured the line, and his own mental energy probed, always hovering next
to Qing Yun’s head. If something was wrong, he would immediately mess up the
teenager’s brain.

He turned around to turn on the switch of the mental deterrent, and as Chris did,
all the prisoners behind Qing Yun placed their attention on this side.

They looked at the teenager who had supported an entire day of torture. How
would he react under the effect of the mental deterrent? Do you want to have a
nervous breakdown like them and be unable to control the secret, or do you
want to stay strong and carry on?

Chris was also inwardly roused, and finally, he switched on the mental deterrent.

“Buzz” sounded, and a visible shock along the connected thin line enveloped
Qing Yun’s head.
Chapter 27

“Hmm!” Qing Yun muffled a snort, his black pupils shrinking as he lowered his
head, his entire body seemingly dazed.

Sure enough.

A sense of inescapable fate enveloped the soldiers, their bodies slumped.

There was a huge sense of loss that came over them. No one could escape such
tactics, could they?

The teenager couldn’t endure the mental shock even though he held up to take
the physical torture.

Apollon grinned and relaxed back in his chair.

Chris stepped in front of Qing Yun, his footsteps were unaccountably heavy.

You should do it.

No, wait. Chris heard a voice in his mind say.

“Dr. Ramiel, where is he.” Chris stared at the blank-eyed Qing Yun with a pair of
cold silver eyes, and as soon as the boy answered, he would attack.

“The Doctor is…”

The dazed-looking young man suddenly tilted his head up, his hair fluttered, and
his eyes, like those of a star-filled night sky, suddenly regained their radiance,
“Why should I tell you?”

The teenager even flew up and kicked the man’s broad shoulders, though it
didn’t shake Chris’s form in the slightest, he was instead bounced back and spun
around uncontrollably.

What’s going on?

He’s unaffected?

Everyone was surprised, even Chris’s pupils contracted for a moment.

The mocking smile on Qing Yun’s face became more profound, he thought that
this mental deterrent was something great, but it turned out that this power
could not touch his soul at all.

“Bang!” Apollon crushed the glass, and with suppressed fury, he asked, “What’s
going on? Is the instrument broken?”

A single mental deterrent transmission line alone could shock a soldier with B+
mental strength into stupidity. It was only after yesterday’s interrogation when
he suspected that the teenager was physically weak but had a high level of
mental strength, that he had the mental deterrent used.

Unexpectedly, it was useless?

The captive on the side, who was already ashen at heart, was also taken aback
at this time and stared blankly at the tiny teenager hanging from the ceiling, his
eyes filled with disbelief.
Qing Yun proudly raised his chin, his eyes seemed to burn with a fierce flame:
“The Federation will not be defeated!”

Apollon walked over in a rage and casually yanked a star pirate to connect a
mental deterrent to the back of his head. Within a second, this star pirate looked
dumbfounded and answered every question.

Ruthlessly throwing down the star pirate in his hands, Apollon stared at Qing
Yun and ordered Chris in a deep voice, “Then connect another transmission line
to him.”

Some of the relief that had just risen in Chris’s heart pressed down again, the
teenager could hold on to one transmission line, but what about two or three?

He didn’t retrieve his mental energy floating around the boy and picked up a
transmission cable once again to connect behind the boy’s head.

The youth’s expression didn’t change and even looked at Apollon with a
disdainful snort.

Two, three, four…

Ten roots, twenty roots…

The transmission wires scattered next to the mental deterrent slowly diminished,
and in contrast, the back of the teenager’s head was literally stabbed like a
hedgehog.

Everyone’s eyes slowly changed, looking at Qing Yun as if he was a monster.

Finally, the last transmission cable was attached to the back of the teenager’s
head, and the mental deterrent was even turned on to the highest grade.

But the teenager still didn’t show any signs of being shocked, his eyes were
bright and glowing, and there was no sign of dullness at all.

All of the captives behind Qing Yun stood up at this point, holding onto the
railing in a daze, looking at the teenager hanging there, densely connected with
transmission wires behind his head. The image of him at this time was both
pitiful and ridiculous, but the captive Federation soldiers could not afford to raise
any smile in their hearts.

Their hearts were filled with admiration and shame.

Such a feeble teenager who had not experienced any military training and might
not even be an adult had actually survived the impact of a real mental deterrent.

Behind Qing Yun, Chris dropped his eyes to hide the admiration overflowing in
his eyes.

Knowing that Qing Yun was an omega, he was even more shocked by this. Even
the current Fourth Legion’s Corsi could not withstand such a powerful mental
shock.

What kind of powerful energy was contained in his weak body?

Even after witnessing Qing Yun’s strength, Chris still felt a slight heartache for
him because he could see clearly from behind that the teenager seemed to be
extremely afraid of pain. The needle clip of the transmission line pierced through
the flesh of the back of his head, and it would always cause the back of his neck
to twitch slightly.
But that was it, the teenager still didn’t say a word.

“The Federation will not be defeated!” Qing Yun tilted his head up and repeated
again as if mocking Apollon’s previous words.

He would not be defeated by the mental deterrent, the Federation would not be
defeated by the Flamingo, and Qing Yun would never fail in this mission.

Apollon was completely gloomy, he slowly approached Qing Yun with heavy
steps, he reached out his hand and clamped down on the bruised jaw and asked
Qing Yun, “Tell me, exactly how high is your mental level?”

“I’m sorry, I’m just an ordinary student of the singing department of the highest
art academy of the Federation, mental strength A.”

As he spoke of the highest art academy in the Federation, the teenager’s gaze
flew as if he was extremely proud.

Chris, who was standing behind him, however, almost bluffed as his silver eyes
flashed with a hint of cryptic laughter.

Those who didn’t know must have thought that the Federation’s Supreme Art
Academy was some kind of high-ranking academy, yet in the Federation, it was
only a school that only mocked worthless omegas would attend.

After all, with Corsi as a precedent, all the somewhat capable omegas went to
the military academy.

The teenager must have his own sparkling artistic dreams in mind, Chris thought.
“A+?” Apollon gritted his teeth, was this guy laughing at himself? Apollon had an
SS-grade mental power, and he knew full well that he would never be able to
hold up to the transmission lines of so many shock absorbers.

It was so sudden that his face changed, and his voice became wry, “Art
Academy? Oh, that means that the highest your physique can be is a C.”

At the news, the teenager really widened his eyes.

Apollon turned around with a big grin, and he threw the whip he’d used
yesterday at Chris again.

Chris’s hand holding the whip faintly faltered.

The next round of flogging came just like this, Apollon didn’t let Chris pull off the
transmission of the deterrent. After all, physical and mental torture together is
more brutal and exciting.

The mental deterrent still had a slight effect on the teenager’s body, Chris lashed
out, and the teenager who had always clenched his teeth and didn’t utter a word
couldn’t even help but grunt out.

Although the ensuing cry of pain was promptly swallowed by the youth, the
momentary soft hum is still as seductive as a siren’s song. With the fair and
transparent skin of the teenager, the blood-soaked wounds, and the disheveled
black hair, it was a feast of absolute beauty.

The star pirates watching the punishment all had a hint of enchantment on their
faces.

Apollon leaned back in his chair with a face of enjoyment, he first held up a
finger to stop any possible sounds around him, and then instructed Chris, “Do it
hard, I want to hear his lovely voice.”
Chris’s grip on the whip tightened, he almost crushed the handle.

This young man who had gritted his teeth until now for the sake of his homeland,
should not have to bear such an insult.

The sound of the whip dancing became more urgent with Apollon’s command,
and a thought surfaced in Chris’s mind, pulling him into the abyss.

Wasn’t he, who was called the protector of the Federation, the one who had
done something even more outrageous to the teenager, who had caused Jorah
so much pain?

Chris continued to whip Qing Yun like an emotionless machine, but his heart felt
like it was being squeezed, and the dizziness of lack of oxygen took control of his
brain.

The teenager’s eyes were bright, and Chris saw even the most beautiful night
sky of the Federation in his eyes. But now he was about to inflict inhumane
torture on the owner of such a beautiful pair of eyes.

The entire interrogation room was quiet, with only the sound of the whip
snapping against the flesh. The teenager really held back, without half a sound
escaping his throat.

In this situation, however, in the ears of these star pirates, the sound of the
teenager’s breathing was utterly alluring.

In contrast to this was the imperial captives behind Qing Yun, their gaze was
fixed on the teenager in front of them, and their slumped bodies gradually stood
up straight, their heads and chests up, their eyes firm; this is the posture of
Federal soldiers.
The youth’s persistence seemed to rekindle the faith in their hearts.

The trial was unusually long for Chris as if he was the one who was tied up and
whipped, and his whole heart seemed to be scorched on the fire.

The young man in front of him was surprisingly strong, with new wounds
covering old ones, making his already battered body even more fragile.

Blood mixed with sweat stuck to his black hair, and his lips were the bright red
color of blood from the teenager’s bite.

During the eight-hour-long flogging, the teenager didn’t shed a single tear,
didn’t make a single sound, and even held his spirit to keep himself from fainting
from exhaustion. Those eyes with pride and disdain looked straight into Chris’s
eyes.

As if to say to him, come on, let’s see if I can hold on?

Chris didn’t know what kind of strength he was using to swing the whip, what
type of force he was using to restrain his hands from trembling.

All he knew was that he couldn’t fail.

The teenager held on like this, so he couldn’t fail.

Finally, today’s torture was over, the sound of the whip swinging disappeared,
leaving only the teenager’s low gasps.
Because of the strength of the flogging, the transmission line behind Qing Yun’s
head even broke free a few times. The transmission line was stuck in raven
feathered hair, and a small piece of the scalp that was sticky with blood fell off.

Chris stepped forward and reconnected the transmission line to the back of the
teenager’s head. It took all of his strength to refrain from reaching out and
stroking his soft black hair.

He should have been…full of encouragement to soothe the teenager with all his
enthusiasm and pride.

“Tomorrow, I will continue to bring you some things.” Apollon walked out with a
contented look on his face. He would have liked the boy to keep going; such
aesthetically pleasing interrogations shouldn’t stop, right?

Chris walked out after Apollon, not looking back at Qing Yun.

His pace was still as calculated as it had been from the beginning, every step
without any discrepancies, but the hand at his side was clenching its fist fiercely.

For the first time, he knew the meaning of “torment”.

The battle between the Federation and the Flamingo lasted for a long time, but
the Federation army, which used to have the upper hand, had been defeated
this time.

Because Chris was out of the fight.

“Shit!” The Second Legion Admiral, Lucas, hammered the table hard, his brow
furrowed, “Let the old bastards at the Council try themselves up here? Shit,
that’s Chris, that fighting machine, how am I going to beat him!”
With a gentle face, Corsi stuck his long fingers into Lucas’s hair, reassuring him.

Today, the Second and Fourth Legions went out on a joint stand with more than
ten times the number of troops as the Flamingo, but they were still defeated.
Chris led the star pirates like a cat and mouse and teased them to no avail.

“Chris is familiar with the Federation’s style of combat, he would be justified in

winning.”

“That’s why Chris’s betrayal is scary.” Lucas wiped his face harshly.

After a long moment of silence, Corsi blurted out, “Jorah…on the hijacked
starship.”

At the words, Lucas’ fingers tightened for a moment before his voice became
cold and hard again, “Oh, well, let’s just hope he doesn’t do anything else.”

Lucas and Jorah were both orphans, they grew up with each other. Teenage
pacts and promises came naturally, but Lucas quickly entered the military
academy due to his SS grade physical and mental strength and climbed up the
ranks.

While Jorah, who is younger than him, was still only a student at the art school.

After meeting Corsi, Lucas was immediately attracted to his strength, and the
two of them were quite compatible. Lucas didn’t hesitate long before deciding to
break off his engagement to Jorah. After all, he was more compatible with Corsi,
wasn’t he?
“He’s just a common citizen of the Federation in my mind right now.” Lucas
patted Corsi on the shoulder and walked out.

Jorah’s fussing at the knowledge of his abandonment had worn away the warmth
in Lucas’s heart, and now he was probably a little less than a stranger in Lucas’s
mind.

Corsi frowned and sighed as he watched Lucas’s hurriedly departing back.

The Flamingo finally had a victory, and the star pirates gathered in celebration.

Chris didn’t like alcohol and noise, so he left the party early. The star pirates
who knew his personality well didn’t stop him, and Apollon didn’t mind too much,
after all, he had put a monitor on Chris.

Walking down the corridor to his room, he reached a fork in the road, but Chris
paused to turn in the other direction.

He could get back to his room from here as well, but it wasn’t the shortest route
Chris usually chose.

The interrogation room was to Chris’s right, but he didn’t pause, moving forward
without a glance.

Suddenly, he stopped.

There was singing in there.

Chapter 28

Soundproof walls weren’t supposed to let sound through, but Chris’s hearing was
too good, and Jorah’s voice had a naturally otherworldly penetrating quality to it.

That’s why the soft humming was clear in Chris’ ears.

Although the young man’s voice was not steady due to pain, it still reminded
Chris of his childhood, the golden wheat waves of the manor, the clear blue sky,
and the crisp chirping of the birds in the morning.

He couldn’t help but stop and lean in for a better listen.

Apollon had planted a monitor on Chris, but Chris had been prepared for it. He
carried a machine that could block the monitor, but there was a limit to the
number of times he could use it.

He never thought he’d use his precious blocking time in a situation like this.

Chris leaned against the wall and listened quietly, his nerves slowly relaxing.

Ever since the Federation issued the order to pretend to be the enemy, Chris has
not hesitated to follow the military orders step by step, even when stepping over
the corpses of his comrades, even when facing the loathing and hatred of the
people who once supported him.

He walked alone in the dark, aiming to bring light to others.

Chris thought he would never get tired.

But now he knows that he was completely wrong.

Under the ethereal sound of the song, Chris actually took a nap for a few
minutes, resting peacefully and relaxed.

Suddenly, the singing stopped.

Chris immediately woke up, there was a trace of confusion in his silver eyes. The
light that flashed through them was like an incredibly sharp saber(sword).

He listened for a moment, and all he could hear was the sound of shallow
breathing.

Did he fall asleep?

Chris hesitated for a moment and opened the door to the interrogation room.

In the darkness, the teenager hanging from the gallows was sleeping soundly.

Chris subconsciously slowed down his pace. With such an injury, any second of
sleep was precious to the teenager, and he didn’t want to disturb it at all.

Qing Yun didn’t expect Chris to come in, he had proven during the day that he
could keep going. Did this cold guy want to finish him off?

Quietly raising his guard, Qing Yun paid close attention to Chris’s movements.

After standing in front of Qing Yun for a while, unexpectedly, Chris reached out
and put him down.
Chris undid the restraints on the teenager and held him in his arms. Maybe it
was because he was too tired during the day that even with this action, the
teenager was not awakened.

Sitting down slowly against the wall with the teenager in his arms like this, Chris
looked at the bruise marks on Jorah’s hand and pursed his lips.

Worse wounds than this had spread all over the boy’s body.

Chris took out the healing device he had with him and placed it on a few of the
larger wounds on the boy’s body. Luckily, the healing device worked from the
inside out. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to help the youth.

Qing Yun was shocked, what was this man doing?

Helping him? Hehe, this healing device is not as useful as extracting his own soul
energy, okay?

Qing Yun secretly hoped that the man would leave so that he could strengthen
his body correctly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to do anything at all with this
man holding the healing device the whole time.

Completely unaware of the thoughts of the boy in his arms, Chris carefully
avoided the transmission cable attached behind Qing Yun’s head and stroked the
black hair on his forehead.

When the youth was awake, his eyes were always burning fiercely, and it was
breathtaking. But because of his body’s feeble condition, it always made people
worry that the flame was like a gorgeous firework, and it would be gone in a
flash.
Now that he’s asleep, he’s incredibly well-behaved, and his face was full of
innocence.

His fingers trailed down Qing Yun’s face to his neck, Chris reached out to the
back of the boy’s neck and lightly caressed the youth’s glands twice.

A strange feeling like an electric current instantly flowed through Qing Yun’s
body.

Qing Yun endured it, refraining from throwing this man out. This body was too
strange to have such a sensitive spot!

Chris, however, had no frivolous thoughts as he took the healing device and
carefully coated the back of the teenager’s neck with a protective layer.

Currently, no one but him had realized that Jorah was an omega. Chris hoped
that no one in this place would ever know the secret. After all, an omega could
suffer much more than a beta.

Just thinking of some of the misfortunes the teenager might suffer, Chris
couldn’t help but frown.

Such a strong, gorgeous, and faithful Jorah should not have been subjected to
such cruel bullying.

The man’s fingers finally left the small patch of skin on the back of his neck, and
Qing Yun breathed a sigh of relief, but someone’s image flashed through his
mind.

Would he follow him in this world? And if he’s already here with us, who could he
be?
Thinking so, Qing Yun carefully felt Chris’s scent.

It was impossible to talk about familiarity, Qing Yun didn’t even feel a trace of
breath. He just remembered that Chris seemed to be wrapped in a protective
suit all over his body. The collar was all the way up to his chin, and even the
glands at the back of his neck were wrapped tightly, so how could he feel Chris’s
scent?

Qing Yun hoped he wasn’t anyone in the interrogation room in this life, or else…
hmmm.

Chris noticed that the young man in his arms seemed to be caught up in a
beautiful dream, his lips curved playfully and adorably, carrying a hint of
happiness.

Who did he dream about?

Chris became curious out of nowhere, and all sorts of information about Jorah
flashed through his mind.

Jorah was engaged to Lucas of the Second Legion?

Chris’s hand paused, and what could be called “displeasure” rose up in him.
Lucas had broken his vow to Jorah to be with Corsi, a piece of information Chris
had known for some time.

But he had never felt anything about such news. Who Lucas is with was his own
choice, and that doesn’t stir up the slightest bit of emotion in Chris.
But now, Chris suddenly cared, why did Lucas hurt Jorah? If you can’t keep it,
why did you make the promise in the first place?

Chris’s brow slowly furrowed, but the fingers that caressed the teenager’s face
were careful not to exert a single ounce of force. He took Qing Yun’s hand and
squeezed the teenager’s round, lovely fingertips.

Why do you still dream of him and smile so happily when he betrayed you?

Another strange emotion grew in Chris’s heart, growing as wild as a weed and
instantly taking over Chris’s mind.

Perplexed, Chris pondered for a moment, defining it as anger at Lucas’ treachery.

With a silent sigh, the variety of emotions flooding Chris’s heart these days was
simply more than the sum of all the feelings in his past life. Was it because he
happened to meet Qing Yun?

The strength and beauty shown by the youth were indeed like a cool spring of
water flowing through Chris’s tormented heart these days.

But the pain that Chris inflicted on him made the torment in his heart even more
intense.

His fingertips touched the teen’s slightly furrowed brow. Chris discarded other
thoughts and used his mental energy to build up a protective shield strong
enough to cover the teen, blocking the mental deterrent from working.

The transmission wires couldn’t be pulled off, or Jorah would have to suffer
another pain when it was put on again, and the deterrent couldn’t be turned off,
or it would leave traces. Chris could only use this method to create a better
sleeping environment for the boy.
But Qing Yun was full of confusion, what does this mean? Is this man not going
to leave? How was he going to repair his body when he was covered by such
powerful mental energy?

Naturally, Chris couldn’t spend all his time on Qing Yun, and he stayed for two
hours before restoring the interrogation room to its original state and leaving.

As soon as he left the interrogation room, the soft scent of Chris’s body instantly
dissipated like an illusion.

He quietly flickered into a corner. During these days of investigation, he had

finally grasped the location of the stored gene chip.

He had to finish the job quickly.

Once again, the Federation had failed.

The second failure made Lucas extremely irritable, he hated it and said to Corsi,
“There’s definitely something wrong with Chris! He’s like crazy today, he’s
chasing me in his mecha himself!”

“If he was an emotionless robot before, today he’s the always-raging lion! We
need to get the Third Legion to reinforce us.”

Corsi did not know whether to laugh or cry as he processed the message from
the front lines. He said, “Lucas, you need to calm down. Chris is not outraged,
you’re the one who overthinks.”

After saying that, he dropped his eyes to hide the thought in his eyes. Chris was
indeed a bit out of sorts today, making him, who had suspected that Chris was
faking his defection to the enemy, a bit confused. Did Chris really have a deep
and incomprehensible hatred for the Federation?
A sudden message interrupted Corsi’s thoughts, “There’s a message from Dr.
Ramiel!”

“What? Where is he? Has he returned to the Federation?” Lucas surrounded him
with surprise.

The loss of the genetic chip and the threat of the Flamingo genetic weapon were
like large clouds hanging over the Federation. The Federation’s top brass did
everything they could to keep the news down, and a silent panic spread
throughout the Federation.

The news of Dr. Ramiel’s starship being held hostage was like a thunderbolt,
making the storm even more terrifying.

Getting the news from Dr. Ramiel now was undoubtedly the greatest piece of
good news.

“The Doctor said…” reading Dr. Ramiel’s message, Corsi’s face darkened, “He
said he’s safe now, but he’s not going back to the Federation for a while.”

“Because he’s going to rescue someone!”

Chris didn’t know that Dr. Ramiel was on a death-defying journey again, or
rather, his mind was now blank as it was the only way to ensure that he acted
sensibly.

Because the teenager’s torture was about to begin again.

These days, the star pirates have changed their methods of torturing Jorah, as if
watching the teenager suffer was their greatest post-war pleasure.
And for Chris, who was the executioner and the one who personally inflicted the
pain on Jorah, this was the time he wanted to escape the most. He even wanted
to switch roles with the teenager so he wouldn’t have to suffer the inner torment.

Fortunately, the quiet time with the teen gave Chris comfort; otherwise, he
didn’t know if he could have held it together.

If there’s one, there’s two. Ever since the first time he heard the boy’s beautiful
voice, Chris couldn’t control his steps and always walked to the interrogation
room door without a second thought.

How much he wanted to escape during the daily torture execution was how
much he wanted to see the teenager in private.

Was he okay today? Can he hold on?

Did he get more annoyed with me?

During these days, Chris had learned many of the teen’s little habits.

Jorah would hum softly when he was in pain, yet no matter how much pain he
was in, the song was pure with no hint of hatred.

Jorah loved to be clean and what bothered him more than the pain was the fact
that he hadn’t bathed for three or four days.

Jorah would wrinkle his nose and mutter abuse at him, but couldn’t say anything
cruel, often just the words “traitor” and “wretched man”.
Jorah would secretly miss someone, the thought of that person would bring a
lovely smile to his lips. This made Chris feel irritated for some reason.

Jorah would also admire his powerful body, whispering his desire to one day
have such SSS-grade build, but Chris wanted nothing more than to tell him that
he was strong enough…

Jorah…

In just a few days, Jorah’s image in Chris’s heart had completely flipped. Initially,
he had mistaken him as an omega who was so weak that he could only hide
behind people, but now, Chris had to admit with admiration that even though
the teenager’s body was incredibly weak, he was still a strong man.

Admiration, heartache, all sorts of complicated emotions tangled in Chris’s heart.

Now, he even had to use self-hypnosis to ensure his calmness in case Apollon
could see traces of it.

After a couple of wins in a row, a pleased Apollon sat in a chair beside him and
tossed Chris two tubes of reagents, “Here, I brought some goodies. These are
perfect for this whip.”
Chapter 29

Catching these two tubes of reagents, Chris’s eyes couldn’t help but become
sharp.

The juice of the Jia Lan Flower and the venom of the army-devouring ants.

It was a very common mixture of poison.

The venom of the army ants does not have much effect on the human body, but
it can invade every corner of it, including bones, nerves, and tendons. If it
happens to encounter its nemesis, the Jia Lan Flower, it will react in the human
body and cause great pain.

Because the venom was widely distributed in the body, the pain would affect the
entire body, from the flesh to the internal organs.

This kind of pain goes deep into the bone marrow. Moreover, the venom of the
army-eating ants will corrode the poisoned person’s body from the inside out, so
the poisoned person can clearly feel the process of his or her internal organs
failing and being destroyed.

“Do you know how to use it?” Apollon held his chin in his hand and instructed
Chris with great interest, ”Pour the juice of the Jia Lan flower into the groove of
that whip, the venom of the army-devouring ants will be injected into the body
of the little cutie through his fingertips. Remember, ten fingers, not one less.”

In fact, Apollon wanted to use that last psychotropic agent on the teenager
several times, but he felt a bit regretful. Firstly, because if he caught Ramiel
without the spirit potion, he was afraid that he would escape at night, and
secondly… if he used the potion, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to
appreciate the extremely beautiful interrogation.

Chris nodded in silence and stepped towards the teenager.

He restrained the strength of his hands, or else he would have been tempted to
crush the reagents in his hands!

The teenager’s body was covered in horrible whip marks, but his eyes were still
burning. One couldn’t see any signs of exhaustion, as if the torture of the past
few days hadn’t had any effect on him.

Chris, however, knew that in the darkness after everyone had left, the teenager
was gnashing his teeth in pain.

The interval between the interrogation room and the cell was also lowered as
usual today, as Apollon thought that the decadence of these captives might put
psychological pressure on the youth. After all, they were all omnipotent soldiers
in the hearts of the Federation.

But it seemed that Apollon was wrong, Qing Yun did not collapse. Instead, these
captives, who were initially on the verge of a mental breakdown after the
interrogations, were affected, their eyes were becoming sharper and their
posture more upright by the day.

Chris had no doubt that they were on the verge of breaking free from the after-
effects of the psychotropic potion.

Jorah seemed to have a magical power to heal people’s heartaches just by

looking at him.

Chris walked up to Qing Yun, filled a syringe with venom, and untied one of his
hands.

Due to the prolonged binding, the hand had developed an unusual bruise. Last
night, Chris rubbed this soft palm. He knew that while Jorah was thin and his
hands were slender enough, they were fleshy and even baby-like with cute bean
pits.
But now, he tugged at the round, lovely fingertips and injected venom into it.

The needle of the syringe plunged deeply into Qing Yun’s fingertip, and as the
venom was injected, this finger instantly became swollen and bruised.

Qing Yun coldly watched his finger being pricked. He glanced at the man in front
of him, who had a cold face with no emotions leaking out. Although he knew that
this person was excusable, the image of him poking himself with the needle
suddenly made Qing Yun feel incredibly harsh.

“Pah!”

With a twist of his wrist, Qing Yun broke free of Chris’s hold and slapped him
solidly across the face.

Chris was startled, he was negligent. Otherwise, the teenager should have been
unable to break his hand. However, before he could turn his head, Chris heard
the teenager’s cold voice again.

He still cursed, “Traitor.”

Chris looked up into Qing Yun’s eyes, which were full of coldness and impatience.

Up until now, Qing Yun had only said three things to him, two of which were
calling him a traitor. The first time, Chris did not feel anything; after all, he had
heard similar words thousands of times.

However, this time, the same word made Chris feel as if he was falling into an
ice-cold cellar.
He stared closely at Qing Yun’s eyes, unwilling to move away even though the
emotion in the teenager’s eyes was like a knife to his heart.

In Chris’s ears, the entire world was quiet, and he could clearly hear the faintest,
most humble plea in his heart.

Please don’t…look at me like that.

Although his heart froze and shattered under the boy’s gaze, Chris continued to
inject venom into the boy’s fingertips without pause as if nothing had happened.

The venom was injected evenly and without error into all ten of the teenager’s
fingers.

Chris opened the Jia Lan Flower’s poison and poured it into the grooves of the
whip.

The sound of the whip slicing through the air was heard, and the teenager lived
up to the expectation of keeping the secrets of the Federation and his dignity
under the watchful eyes of the soldiers behind him.

While Chris was abusing himself, he counted the number of times he had lashed
the teenager.

Once, twice…

There was another post-victory party. Chris made his way to the interrogation
room, his strides getting bigger and bigger, to the point where he couldn’t even
maintain the appearance of calmness and raced down the corridor.
Jorah’s body was already weak, after all, poison is poison. Of course, it wasn’t
just a painful side effect; the venom of the army-devouring ants would cause
internal failure, so he had to quickly remove the poison from Jorah’s body.

Reaching the door of the interrogation room, Chris suddenly stopped.

Jorah…might still be awake.

The hallway was extremely quiet, so quiet that only Chris’s breathing was heard.

Quiet? He didn’t sing today?

Chris’s heart suddenly contracted, he immediately opened the door to the

interrogation room and walked in without caring about anything else.

The teenager’s head hung low, and he was quietly tied up.

There was no singing, no muttering curses at him, no wrinkling of his nose, and
no complaining of pain.

Not even…Chris couldn’t hear him breathing.

Chris instantly felt his eyes sting, and he hissed out, “Jorah…”

There was no reaction from the teenager.

Perhaps my voice is too low for him to hear, Chris soothed himself.
He slowly approached and lowered the unresponsive Qing Yun into his arms. He
slumped and slid against the wall.

The teen’s fingertips were cold and frightening, but Chris didn’t seem to be able
to feel it, he kissed the teen’s bruised fingertips one at a time as if he was trying
to suck the poison out of them.

Chris went into a strange kind of panic, and he took out all the medicine he had
with him. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the antidote for this mixture of poison.

Picking out a bottle of the most precious detoxification drug, Chris injected all of
it into the teenager’s body.

He pressed against the teen’s bloodied forehead and kept pecking the bridge of
his upturned nose, “Jorah, just hold on a little longer, okay? Baby, hold on a
little longer, trust me…”

Scalding tears slid down Qing Yun’s forehead, cutting through his eyelashes and
running down.

In Chris’s arms, Qing Yun quietly opened his eyes, his eyes were shining and not
at all confused.

Just to scare the hell out of you!

A certain suspicion in his mind had made Qing Yun upset for two days straight,
and now that he was watching the man holding him in a painful mess, he finally
felt a little more comfortable.

But in the end, this man can’t be too devastated, or else the plan will fail, and
both of them will be finished.
So Qing Yun moved his finger compassionately.

Keenly aware of the subtle movements of the man in his arms, Chris paused, his
heart swelling with great joy.

He immediately looked down to check on Qing Yun’s condition, and when he did,
he was confronted with a pair of eyes that were brilliant even in the darkness.

There was nothing to say to each other.

Chris had a heart that was thumping so hard, but in the end, he didn’t speak,
nor did he explain.

Checking the teenager’s body in silence, Chris just hung him back again against
the teenager’s clear gaze, while he turned and left the interrogation room.

Once out of Qing Yun’s sight, Chris’s strong back collapsed in an instant. He
leaned against the door of the interrogation room and slowly slid to sit on the
floor, the feeling of dread was uncontrollably flooding Chris’s heart.

Fortunately, he was still alive.

Chris looked up and wiped his face, but found that even his fingers were
trembling.

After a moment, Chris pulled himself together again. His dejection and fear were
of no use, if he wanted to free Jorah, he had to get the chip immediately.

Chris stood up, his body becoming sharp again, and he walked in a direction
with firm steps.
These days, he already knew the location of the gene chip, but the outside of the
chip was protected by a layer of code that would trigger an alarm if he wasn’t
careful, so he would have to think about it some more…

Apollon wouldn’t just pin his hopes on Dr. Ramiel, and since there was a team in
Flamingo that could make a genetic weapon, they would naturally try to crack
the chip. This would mean that there was someone around the chip at all times,
which definitely made it more difficult for Chris.

Jorah’s interrogation was still going on.

Chris grimly took the whip from Apollon’s hand. This was not the first one
anymore, the torture tools changed one after another. Apollon clearly loved the
whip type weapons.

Chris stepped towards Qing Yun, his mind flickering with hesitation. The sight of
the teenager losing his breath and going cold last night was still fresh in his
mind, and Chris knew the teenager was at his limit. Would he be able to survive
today’s torture?

He looked up at the teenager, the events of last night must have made Qing Yun
suspicious of him.

It wasn’t that Chris was worried now that Qing Yun would expose him for
pretending to defect to the enemy, he was more worried about how he would
feel if the teenager guessed the truth, what mood would he use to face him?

Earlier, Qing Yun had made no secret of his hatred and disgust, and while those
emotions had tormented Chris, he was more afraid that the teenager wouldn’t
even have a hateful stance and would have to passively suffer the pain in his
body.
The moment of hesitation didn’t escape Apollon’s eyes, and Apollon’s gloomy
voice immediately rang out, “Chris, what are you waiting for? Getting soft?”

Chris was inwardly shaken, as he was about to do it, the sound of singing
suddenly rang out in his ears.

It was Qing Yun’s voice.

Chris obviously didn’t expect Qing Yun to sing at this moment, after all, the
teenager always endured the pain during the interrogation and didn’t make even
the slightest sound. But Chris liked to hear him sing, he even secretly followed
Jorah’s StarNet account, knowing that the teenager’s dream was to sing for the
whole world to hear.

The sound attracted everyone’s attention, especially the Federation soldiers

behind Qing Yun.

Because this was the Federation’s national anthem.

The clear and crisp voice of the young man was like the bright dawn on the
horizon, as the struggle of the federal soldiers standing in blood and fire. Layers
of darkness are washed away by this infectious voice, revealing a bright future.

The Federation’s artillery fire seemed to reverberate in the ears of the people,
punctuating the youth’s song with a magnificent backdrop.

Even with the corpses of martyrs trampled underfoot, even with the dark and
bloodied scorched earth spreading for miles, there was still hope flickering in the
eyes of the people. Even though the scythe of death was raised high, no one
wanted to give up.
Not only was it the voice of the teenager, but a few more rugged voices clanged
and came in, the Federation soldiers with straight backs and shining eyes behind
Qing Yun.

Billions of Federal people flashed through Chris’s mind, and he instantly

understood the teenager’s intention, which was to encourage him.

He’s trying to encourage you, so hang in there, Chris.

“Ruin his voice!”

Apollon’s malicious voice was as if it came from hell.

An arc of electricity flashed, and the original clear voice instantly became hoarse.
This voice was like weeping blood, but still firm.

Chris held the whip handle that was flashing with an arc of electricity, he looked
at the boy’s head hanging low, a teardrop directly fell down on his silver military
boots.

My dream is to sing to the world.

These words, hanging on the home page of the Jorah’s StarNet account, slowly
came to Chris’s mind.

Look, you’ve ruined his dream.

The realization even took Chris’s soul out of his body, but something even more
terrible had happened.
The same flicker of electricity that had just electrocuted the teen’s throat also hit
the glands at the back of his neck, and the extremely sweet pheromones quickly
spread throughout the room.

The author has something to say: The abuse will not end.

The above sentence does not mean that I am in favor of using body abuse to
torture the mind, nor does it mean that I would like to subject Qing Yun to such
suffering.

I’m not writing these scenarios for the sake of torture, but I hope what I really
want to write can be conveyed to you.

I’m really, really sorry if I’ve caused you any discomfort.

Chapter 30

The smellewasdbeyond(anyone’s imagination, instantly intoxicating the alphas in

the room. However, because of the inhibitor injections, Qing Yun’s pheromones,
while intoxicating to the crowd, wasn’t nearly as maddening.

It was worthy of being enhanced.

Qing Yun looked at the expressions of the people in the interrogation room and
even had the mood to laugh at himself. Even though the situation seemed to be
extremely bad, there was still extreme calmness in his eyes. The poison
yesterday was a great help to him, allowing him to use the damage caused by
the toxin to complete the transformation of this body in one fell swoop.

“Omega? You are surprisingly an omega?” Apollon came over in surprise.

Everyone didn’t expect that the teenager who had endured so far was an omega.

The door to the interrogation room opened, and a star pirate rushed over, “Boss!
The psychotropic agents have finally arrived!”

On hearing this, Apollon was not the least bit excited. He looked at Qing Yun
firmly and waved his hand towards the star pirate outside the door, “Send me an
aphrodisiac when you send the psychotropic, I have thought of an excellent
method of interrogation.”

How dare you!

Chris’s eyes were sharp as he looked at Apollon, and at this moment, he only
wanted to break Apollon’s neck.

Just when Chris couldn’t restrain his hands, several loud explosions were heard
in succession, followed by a huge shaking beneath his feet.
Chris looked incredulously behind Qing Yun, and his eyes instantly swelled with
heat.

The five captives of the First Legion had activated the biological explosives in
their bodies.

Every Federation soldier is implanted with a targeted biological explosive. The

bombs can only be ignited if the man’s mental energy boils to a certain level, in
the face of death.

The national anthem gave the psychotropic-damaged Federation soldiers

unparalleled power to ignite the energy of a bio-bomb.

The limited energy of a bio-explosive couldn’t possibly hurt a star pirate with
armor at such a distance, but the five soldiers seemed to have regained their
military composure a split second before they died, and with their knowledge,
they rationally chose the place where they could inflict significant damage on the
starship.

“Shit!” Apollon’s face turned oddly pale for a moment, he was in no mood for
anything, he immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements for
related matters.

These people were afraid that the soldiers had blown up one of the wings of the
starship. He had to arrange for someone to repair it quickly in case the
Federation took advantage of this time to attack…

The sudden explosion made the star pirates on the entire starship panic;
watching the pirates walk out one after another, Chris looked back at Qing Yun
deeply, and then forced himself to turn around, taking advantage of the
momentary turmoil to run towards the place where the chip was stored.
Qing Yun watched the door to the interrogation room close slowly before his
eyes. He moved his wrist but did not break the confinement.

He was waiting, waiting for Apollon to come to him.

Chris made it all the way to his destination unhindered, he frowned at the
genetic chip that had a coded protective shield and raised his hand to enter a
series of passwords.

It was Apollon’s mother’s birthday. Apollon actually missed his mother greatly,
he even used the same password for his StarNet account. Chris had gone to
great lengths to determine this set of passwords.

However, as soon as this password was entered, the indicator light above
instantly lit up, indicating a password error.

There was no panic on Chris’s face as he entered the same password again, and
with a ding, the shield opened.

It was two sets of the same password, and if you hesitated for an instant after
entering it the first time, the alarm would sound.

Finally getting the genetic chip in his hands, Chris was not in the least bit
relieved.

Jorah, he was going to save Jorah.

At first, when he discovered the coded shield on the outside of the gene chip,
Chris almost wanted to use his mental power to destroy it. Although the gene
chip had a special significance to the Federation, when its existence became a
threat to the entire Federation, destroying it was a natural solution.

This was the decision that was discussed by the top management of the
Federation in the beginning.

But Chris hesitated, if he couldn’t get the chip, Chris wasn’t entirely sure if the
chip was a front the star pirates took out.

And if he destroyed the chip, the alarm would still go off. Chris himself wasn’t
afraid, he could just fly his mecha and escape, but what about Jorah? What
about his five soldiers?

Does he have a chance of saving them?

Remembering the tragic explosion just now, Chris calmed down, and he pushed
down his worries about Jorah and took out his equipment to test the authenticity
of the chip in his hand.

Just at this moment, a figure with white hair suddenly emerged from the corner.

As soon as he saw the figure, Chris’s expression instantly turned grim as he

immediately moved forward and picked the man up, “Ramiel, what are you
doing here?”

“Just casually run out? Do you have any idea how much someone has suffered to
hide your tracks?”

“Hey hey, Admiral Chris, calm down!” Dr. Ramiel, who was caught, immediately
held his hands up high, but kept babbling, “Chris, your betrayal really was a lie.”

“Hey, you’re looking good now, you’re finally not acting like a robot anymore.”
“You know what? A little guy saved me, but I always felt bad about it, so I
thought I’d turn back and save him…” but Ramiel wasn’t a fool after all, and he
dismantled some of the parts on that escape pod to create a simple cloaking
device, which was how he got in.

“You shut up!” Chris lowered his voice and pulled the man into a hidden corner.
He handed the chip to Ramiel, “Check to see if the chip is real or not.”

The survival of the entire Federation was at stake, Chris had to be cautious. He
didn’t have much knowledge in this field, and even with the device, he didn’t
have the same accuracy as Ramiel’s judgment.

“You shouldn’t have come back. If you get caught, you would be the one to fail
him.” Chris gave Ramiel a look, his voice dry.

“Oh? It seems you know the little guy.” Ramiel focused on the chip and took
another scan of the small device he had with him, “But I’m uneasy, you may
think I’m more important than he is, but every life is worth the same and can’t
be evaluated by any earthly standard. I can’t comfortably accept the chance of
survival that a child has let me have. “

“I recognize his value…no one is more…” Chris said as he covered his face. His
voice was bitter, and his heart stirred at the thought of what he had done to the
teenager. Now that the victory of the mission was in sight, Chris didn’t feel any
relief in his heart.

“Oh, it looks like you’re not in good shape,” Ramiel finally finished checking, “It’s
the chip we lost. Great work, Admiral!”

Chris didn’t take the chip Ramiel handed him, he sacrificed his mecha and
switched on his stealth mode to tuck Ramiel into it.

“You take the chip back to the Federation, I have work to do.”
“Hey? My mission is to save lives!” Ramiel glared at him and was about to climb
down.

“That’s why I let you go back first.” Chris turned to look at him, his face was
serious, “As soon as you get back to the Federation, bring the best doctor you
can, don’t a…forget it.”

Chris shook his head, instantly turned, and raced towards the interrogation room.
What Apollon had said before made Chris concerned, besides, the psychotropic
potion had arrived, Jorah could hold on to the mental deterrent but might not be
able to resist the psychotropic potion.

Now, Chris wasn’t worried about Jorah being under the influence of the
psychotropic revealing Ramiel’s whereabouts. He was more concerned that if the
teenager really couldn’t hold out, how would he, who loved the Federation so
much, face the traitor he had become?

Please wait for me, be sure to wait for me.

On the other side, Apollon dealt with the commotion caused by the recent
explosion and had the outlying star pirates strengthen their defenses. The
explosion had drawn the close attention of the Federation, and soon the
Federation’s troops would pounce like a beast that smelled blood.

Apollon’s complexion was poor as he walked to the interrogation room. He

suddenly thought of what he had done earlier on a whim and ordered to the
people outside, “Bring that omega in the interrogation room, along with a
psychotropic and an aphrodisiac.”

The Federation’s attack must be incredibly intensive this time, and hiding Ramiel
may save him this time, so Apollon must force out Ramiel before then.
The omega always submits to the alpha that marks him, don’t they?

As for the omega being in heat for at least three days, is that too much of a
delay? Apollon didn’t worry about that, because only living omegas would be in
heat.

Soon, Qing Yun was brought to Apollon’s room, and the mental deterrent
transmission cable in the back of his head was finally taken off. The back of his
head was still aching since it had been installed for too long.

The door of the room closed silently behind Qing Yun, Apollon was now sitting on
the bed with a glass of red wine, looking at Qing Yun flirtatiously, “Tsk, cutie, it’s
just the two of us now, come on and tell me, where is Dr. Ramiel?”

“It’s just the two of us?”

Qing Yun tilted his head to ask him, his dark eyes pure and unblemished.

“Yes, it’s just the two of us…” Apollon slowly moved towards Qing Yun, the alpha
pheromones released without restraint.

“Yeah? That’s great.”

With a sudden hook of his lips and a bang, Qing Yun squeezed Apollon’s neck
and flung the man against the wall!

The wall made of a special alloy instantly caved in, and Apollon was thrown to
the ground, he raised his eyes to look at Qing Yun in shock, “Who are you?
There’s no way you’re an omega!”
“Oh? Sorry, I’m really am.” Qing Yun squeezed Apollon’s neck and lifted the man
up. Thanks to the torture he’d endured over the past few days, otherwise, this
body wouldn’t have been able to be refined so strongly.

“You!” Apollon reddened, unable to resist.

The teen’s wounded hoarse voice was now like the shriek of an evil ghost in hell,
making him unable to restrain himself from shaking.

Qing Yun squeezed Apollon’s neck and smashed it into the wall again and again.
He held his breath and now restrained himself from snapping Apollon’s neck.

Remember not to kill the protagonist, or the heavens will notice.

Apollon panicked and released his pheromones, the knowledge that he was
being abused by an omega simply made him feel worse than death.

Qing Yun’s nose wrinkled and threw him away in disgust, “The smell on you is
simply disgusting!”

He turned his head but realized that Apollon had just stuck a syringe into the
back of his neck, and the liquid had automatically pushed into his body.

Qing Yun raised his eyebrows and took the syringe off. Was this the psychotropic
potion?

Suddenly, he felt an extremely strange surge of heat in his body.

He heard Apollon’s hoarse laugh, “It’s an aphrodisiac! Omega’s glands are

naturally insensitive to pain… you have gotten caught…”
Chapter 31

Chris almost raced to the interrogation room.

But the door to the interrogation room was wide open and empty, and the boy
who had been dangling nicely from the gallows was nowhere to be found.

“No, no…” Chris’s heart palpitated instantly as he reached down the corridor and
yanked one of the pirates by the scruff of his neck, “Where’s Jorah? Where’s
Jorah?”

The star pirate was startled by him, he had never seen Chris’s red-eyed, crazed
appearance before. He pointed in a direction, “They took him to the boss’s room
and sent him an aphrodisiac….”

Chris’s expression turned grim, and he raised his hand to fling the star pirate
aside, rushing towards Apollon’s room.

The star pirate who fell to the ground touched his neck in bewilderment, he
crawled up and took two steps before he reacted and shouted, “Chris has
defected! Stop him!”

In an instant, everyone in the corridor was alerted and raised their weapons
towards Chris.

Chris didn’t slow down at all, he lifted his hands and ripped off the protective
suit around his neck, the pheromone pressure of an alpha instantly spread
throughout the corridor.

The pirates with their guns in the air hesitated for a split second because of this
interference, but it was in that split second of hesitation that Chris snapped their
necks and grabbed their weapons.
Like a crazed beast, Chris lost all his calm and caution, and what remained was
madness.

He then stepped on blood to the door of Apollon’s room. Looking at the closed
door, Chris raised his hand and threw away the broken arm in his hand.

He put his hand on the closed door, but Chris hesitated, closing his eyes to hide
the pain in them.

What will he see when he opens this door?

Did Apollon mark Jorah?

Their pheromones blended together.

His boy, in his absence, was forced by another alpha…

Chris’s eyes turned red as if they were dripping blood.

That’s no reason for you to be weak! His mind roared.

The door made of a special alloy that was claimed to be able to resist SSS-level
people rumbled to the ground, and the sweet and unusually alluring pheromones
instantly surged out.

Taking a fierce sniff of the purest of pheromones in the air, Chris was almost in
tears.

Thankfully, he was just in time.

His body suddenly surged, and Chris looked inside the room.

Apollon fell to the floor with his neck twisted, not knowing that he had been
killed.

Where’s Jorah? There was no sign of Jorah.

Chris followed the pheromone’s directions to the bathroom. He opened the door
to see his beloved curled up under the showerhead, cold water pouring down all
over the teen’s head.

Sensing the arrival of someone, Qing Yun flew up with a kick about to stir the
neck of his visitor. Unexpectedly, a pair of large hands instantly grabbed his
waist and brought him to his arms.

The familiar scent immediately enveloped Qing Yun’s body, relieving the
irritation caused by his heat.

“It’s me, don’t be afraid, it’s me…”

Holding the teenager in his arms once again, a great joy enveloped Chris’s heart,
even suppressing the tide of lust caused by the omega’s pheromones.

Chris couldn’t hold back any longer, he took the teenager’s face and fiercely
kissed Qing Yun’s red lips.

A kiss that even gave Chris the feeling of having been robbed. With no trace of
lust, he swept through Qing Yun’s mouth, just to make sure the teenager was
there, only to release the fear and self-pity he had carried for so long.
Fortunately, you didn’t leave me.

Shit, it’s really him!

Sensing the man’s overbearing and gentle pheromones, Qing Yun was both
surprised and had a feeling that this should have been the case. Unexpectedly,
in this world, they actually met in this way.

Qing Yun viciously bit the tip of the strange tongue in his mouth to vent his
discontent. When the man thought he was resisting and was ready to withdraw,
Qing Yun wrapped his arms around his neck again, not giving him any chance to
leave.

Mess with him, and you’ll never escape in this life, or the next, don’t even think
about running away!

These few short days of torture, Qing Yun was going to make him pay for it with
his entire soul.

While the Federation’s forces duly punched their way inside the Flamingo,
Ramiel’s medics came faster.

He opened the hatch to let Chris up, and the smell of pheromones instantly
permeated the entire starship.

The first thing to bear was Chris’s icy and overbearing pheromones. How gentle
his pheromones were to Qing Yun was how harsh they were to outsiders. They
were simply like being on a knife’s edge, and when they inhaled, they only felt
the taste of blood all over their mouths and noses.

Ramiel immediately shouted, “Chris, please be polite, the entire starship is full of
betas and omegas, what kind of pheromone suppression are you engaging in?”
He finished his scream and realized that there was a strange sweetness hiding
underneath Chris’s overbearing pheromones, just a hint of which could hook a
man into a mad pursuit.

Fortunately, the pheromones’ owner had been temporarily marked, otherwise,

the war between the Federation and Flamingo would not have been fought, and
the entire army of alphas would have gone crazy.

“He’s even an omega? “Ramiel stared at the young man in Chris’s arms, whose
body was soaking wet. He turned to look down at Chris’s crotch, which was
indeed an extremely majestic mass.

Ramiel shrugged and teased, “You can even stand it?”

Chris was now incredibly thankful that his training in pheromone resistance had
stayed on track, otherwise, he wasn’t sure if he would be able to keep his sanity.
He was actually on the verge of going insane now, and upon closer inspection,
every muscle in his body was trembling subtly.

“Quick, get a doctor!” Chris turned his head and hissed at Ramiel as he
controlled his arms to release the teenager from his hold and place him on the
bed. The feeling of emptiness in his arms made him feel better as he almost
couldn’t hold back the storm in his heart and tightened his grip on one of the
teenager’s fingers.

As Chris lowered Qing Yun onto the bed, the teen’s deep, visible wounds were
instantly exposed to Ramiel’s eyes.

There wasn’t a trace of intact skin on the entire body, several bones also carried
abnormal distortions, and the blue-purple marks could easily be seen as the
toxins from the Jai Lan Flower and the army-eating ants.
The crisp white sheets beneath the teenager were instantly shaded with blood,
and the pillow even more severely!

Ramiel was shocked and immediately called in the medics, he looked at the
wounds on Qing Yun’s body and cursed out, “Which beast did this! He’s just a
kid, so why did those star pirates torture him like this?”

“I’m the one…” said Chris, his voice hoarse as he covered his face, “I’m the
one… he’s been holding back to hide your location, to stall you… even the mental
deterrent didn’t let him give in…”

Ramiel couldn’t help his eyes from turning red as he listened, he sighed and
stroked the hair on the teenager’s forehead, “What a strong boy.”

The medics arrived, and once they saw the miserable teenager on the bed, their
eyes instantly flashed, and they quickly went forward to treat Qing Yun’s wounds.

“The whiplash wound is too severe, the long wound has pus and festered.”

“The bones of all ten fingers are corroded to varying degrees.”

“The mixture of venom has done too much damage, get the antidote!”

A medic struck a little harder, causing the semi-conscious Qing Yun on the bed
to struggle, and Chris’s pheromones immediately stabbed like swords, causing
the omega medic to scream.

Ramiel slapped Chris: “Don’t you mess up, do you know that it’s you who is the
most dangerous to him now? Get out of here!”
Ramiel looked meaningfully at Chris’ crotch.

“No! I can’t leave him!” At the news, Chris hugged Qing Yun tightly instead,
“He’s in heat, I can’t leave him!”

“The heat is a piece of cake, a shot of suppressant will do!” Ramiel reached for
an alpha inhibitor and stuck it on Chris to calm him down a bit, “Instead, don’t
you see what you look like now?”

Chris shook his head, “No inhibitors can be used, he was just injected with an
inhibitor and then given an aphrodisiac.”

“Oh my God…” sighed Ramiel, covering his face, “The inhibitor’s backlash… if it
doesn’t bind… …….”

Thanks to the presence of the healing device, the injuries on Qing Yun’s body
healed quickly, leaving only shallow scars. However, it had been dragged on for
too long, and some of the injuries had caused irreversible damage to his body.

Of course, these were all false illusions disguised by Qing Yun disrupting the
energy in his body. His current body could easily pinch the SS-level Apollon; how
could he really be weak to this point.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the teenager on the bed
slowly become intact.

“Only the flesh has healed, the venom’s corrosion of the internal organs will
have to be followed up, and the bones can’t move significantly.”

“Also, you said he was connected to a mental deterrent for five days. We’re not
sure if his nervous system was damaged.”
“It’s a miracle he made it through, even if he would have been very weak after.”

“Anyway, you have to be more careful during his heat, Admiral, or he won’t
make it.”

The medic instructed all the precautions before exiting, leaving the room for
Chris and Qing Yun.

The door closed slowly.

Chris turned to see Qing Yun lying on the white sheets, his blood washed off his
body, his dark hair disheveled, and his formerly fair skin covered in a haze of red.

He was curled up due to the constant throbbing of his body, rubbing against the
sheet beneath him with difficulty.

Chris slowly approached, reaching out his hand as if to touch Qing Yun, yet as
soon as he touched the boy’s hair, he withdrew his hand as if he had been
electrocuted.

“Shit!” Chris pulled at his hair and circled Qing Yun like a trapped animal.

The sweet pheromones seduced Chris to pounce like a beast, but he didn’t dare
to get close at all.

Jorah…did he want to be marked by him? He had looked at him earlier with that
disgusted look…

An omega in heat has no sanity to speak of, and Chris doesn’t want to take
advantage of that.
Besides… Jorah still thinks about Lucas, who is he thinking about right now?

Thinking of Lucas, Chris couldn’t restrain his tyrannical mood.

At the sound of Chris’s anxious footsteps, on the bed, Qing Yun lowered his head
and lightly hooked his lips.

It’s not easy, is it? I want you to feel terrible!

However, before he could finish his complacency, the waves of heat came again,
and Qing Yun could not help but bite his lips and hum softly. His body also
subconsciously curled up, resisting silently.

When he realized the completely uncontrollable change in his body, Qing Yun’s
face instantly darkened.

What the hell kind of damned body is this!

In the end, Ramiel came back to check on Jorah, and he figured he could still be
there to warn him at the door in case Chris went into a frenzy.

As a result, as soon as he reached the door, Ramiel froze.

Chris was smoking as he sat with his head hanging in the doorway. His body was
in extremely poor shape; not only were his pheromones abnormally violent, but
his mental energy was on the verge of going berserk.
Ramiel cautiously backed away a little farther, his body hidden around the
corner before he peeked over and asked Chris, “Ahem, Admiral, you’re supposed
to be in there.”

Chris looked up at him, his eyes, which had been silver, actually reflected a dark
color.

His voice was bitter, “Lucas…is Jorah’s fiancé, Jorah loves him.”

Ramiel shrugged at the words and gave Chris a thumbs up, “It’s almost half an
hour before we get back to the Federation, I’ll have Lucas pick up after us.”

After saying that, he quickly withdrew his head and ran back.

As expected, various loud noises crackled from the place where Chris was.

Ramiel scowled, the young people nowadays are just talking out of their asses,
they’ve obviously put temporary markers on others; why are they still
pretending to be good people now?

yuzu: Hey guys! I’ll be dropping the number of updates to 1-2 days a week
(Mondays and/or Wednesdays) since I’ll be busy with school work. Thank you for
understanding!
Chapter 32

The genetic chip had long been successfully returned to the Federation by Dr.
Ramiel, and the cloud of death hanging over the people of the Federation had
finally dissipated.

The truth of Chris’s defection to the enemy was revealed, and the soldiers of the
First Legion appeared in the public’s eyes again. It turns out that before Chris
bombed the First Legion’s main ship, they had been secretly replaced, and the
ones killed were all interstellar criminals.

Chris once again restored the image of the Federation’s God of War in the hearts
of the people, and this image became even larger because of the completion of
this mission.

The people of the Federation were in a state of ecstasy, celebrating to welcome

their patron saint.

The hatch of the starship opened, and as soon as Chris appeared, loud shouts
were heard outside.

But this cry was cut short in less than half a second as if the excited Federation
crowd was suddenly squeezed by the neck. Everyone looked at the cocoon-
shaped object that Chris was holding in his arms.

Everyone was familiar with this object, it was an omega protective silo, designed
to protect omegas in an accidental heat. It can block the pheromones of omegas
to prevent causing a riot.

But no one expected that the cold-hearted Admiral Chris would come down with
an omega in heat in his arms.

Lucas, who had come to meet the ship, stood close to the hatch and greeted
Chris as soon as he saw him coming.
“Good work.” He saluted Chris, looked down, and saw the face of the omega
inside through the transparent window of the protective compartment, it was
Jorah.

Lucas’s brow furrowed as he stepped up to take Jorah over, “It was him? He’s
caused you a lot of trouble, hasn’t he? Chris, you wouldn’t have needed to look
out for him for my sake. After all, it has to be for the greater good…”

Before Lucas could finish his sentence, Chris brushed his arm away hard.

Trouble?

Jorah defended Dr. Ramiel’s departure and survived a brutal punishment for the
Federation, only to have his beloved say “trouble” in return?

Chris glared hard at Lucas, he finally managed to unleash his pheromones in

public to suppress Lucas viciously. Not only that, he even crumbled his years of
cool image and kicked Lucas to the ground!

If he didn’t have Qing Yun on his hands, Chris would never have let Lucas go
that easily.

Screams rang out, and the people gathered outside couldn’t help but make a
path. After all, Chris’s pheromones were too sharp.

Lucas looked at the furious Chris, seeming unsure.

Ramiel then came down, he obviously heard Lucas as well and didn’t look too
good. He looked at Lucas, who was sitting on the ground and shook his head, “I
was wrong, I shouldn’t have called you here.”
Chris quickly boarded the return flight with the omega in his arms.

The people receiving the craft in the square all took a great interest in the
omega in his arms. Chris was fifty years old, which was the prime of his life in
this era, but compared to a few other admirals who were married or engaged,
Chris’s love life was still a blank.

His whole person presents a kind of robotic state, but now, he suddenly appears
with an omega in his arms. And, his protective feelings are still overflowing, how
can people not be curious?

“I just heard from Admiral Lucas that the omega Admiral Chris is holding is
called Jorah.”

“Jorah? Which Jorah? Not the one who called himself Admiral Lucas’s fiancé
before, is it?”

“What? The omega that has no self-awareness?”

Jorah’s name was instantly spreading by word of mouth, yet the two parties
were completely uninterested in paying attention to that.

Because…they couldn’t resist anymore.

When Chris got home, he immediately told the housekeeper to prepare all the
things needed for the omega to be in heat.

The old housekeeper, who had been hoping for the stars and the moon, was
instantly delighted to see Chris hug an omega and cheerfully went to make the
arrangements.
Chris placed Qing Yun on the soft, wide bed. The teenager’s body was sticky and
unusually hot.

As soon as they touched, they couldn’t help but entwine together.

Chris, however, had to hold back his desire. He had to keep all the various
things he needed on hand, especially the healing device.

After leaving the bedside, he couldn’t help but sigh in frustration. He was going
to hand Jorah over to Lucas as soon as he got off the starship…

F*ck! Now, he’ll never give Jorah to that bastard!

Returning to the bedroom with the treatment device, Chris saw Qing Yun sitting
up on the bed as soon as he walked in, his eyes shining brightly and staring at
Chris who came in.

Qing Yun looked perfectly normal, and if it weren’t for the abnormal redness on
his body, he would never have been able to tell that this was an omega in heat.

The way he stared at Chris created a kind of fear that made the man hesitate for
a moment as he stepped into the bedroom and almost retreated.

“Come here.” Qing Yun hooked his finger at Chris, but the hoarse and unusual
voice made Chris’s heart pound.

The voice was a clear indication of his crime. The boy’s healed wounds were little
more than pale pink scars, but his throat would never recover.
Chris walked over, but his steps were strangely heavy. Now, all the charming
thoughts he had were gone, leaving him filled with self-loathing and pain.

You hurt him like this, and you still want to have him.

The guilt sank into Chris’s heart and would never be erased.

Qing Yun grabbed the man by the collar and pulled him closer. Like a cheetah
patrolling the territory, he laid his head on the side of Chris’s neck, carefully
sniffing. Only when he was sure that the intruder was indeed his did he soften
his expression and lick Chris’s Adam’s apple with the tip of his sweet red tongue.

Chris’s Adam’s apple slid twice in restraint, and he looked at the boy in front of
him who appeared to be extremely dangerous as well as alluring. His voice was
husky as he begged, “Will you… let me be your alpha?”

When he asked the question, his whole heart was on edge, like a criminal
awaiting trial.

In return, he was met with a kiss. The kiss was very overbearing and gave him
no right to escape at all, but Chris was happy with it.

A great sense of redemption came over him with the kiss.

He promised, didn’t he? Chris got down on one knee on the bed and embraced
the teenager tightly, sucking hard on his soft lips. At this moment, a solemn
hymn even rang in his ears.

This heat period was unexpectedly long, and the two stayed in the room without
sleep for over a week.
In the outside world, Chris’s appearance with Jorah in his arms caused a frenzy.

Jorah’s name has been plucked from the pages of the unrelentingly passionate
Federation public, and some people claiming to be his classmates have revealed
personal information about him and his life.

Jorah is a cowardly but arrogant man who has been telling everyone that
Admiral Lucas is his fiancé.

When Admiral Lucas and Admiral Corsi got together in the first place, it was
clear that they gave Jorah enough respect and they apologized solemnly.
However, Jorah was still unrelenting in making all kinds of trouble and smearing
Admiral Corsi.

The omegas that are now respected are those like Corsi, well-built, courageous,
and useful in the military. Other omegas with slightly poorer constitutions are
labeled as cowards and assholes. This concept was even widely accepted by the
group of omegas.

The original group of people who witnessed Chris pampering Jorah may have
only intended to pick up on Admiral Chris’s mate, but now that the dark stuff
about Jorah is all over StarNet, no one can accept Chris being with such an
omega.

The people, having been reborn after their fear, desperately need some excuse
to vent their feelings.

Jorah coincidentally became such an excuse, and in just one week, everyone
knew that the omega who had originally stalked Admiral Lucas of the Second
Legion had turned to their Federation’s God of War, Admiral Chris.

They even surmised how much trouble such a weak, uncaring omega had caused
Chris’s mission and how he had used his heat period to seduce Chris.
No one was impressed with Jorah.

Chris didn’t expect to be faced with such a scene when he came out.

This heat period was extremely difficult for Chris, he was concerned about Qing
Yun’s body, so he didn’t dare to do whatever he wanted. But the omega is so
enticing that Chris had to stay awake under the impact of Qing Yun’s sweet
pheromones and soft limbs, and must also let himself satisfy Qing Yun.

Not only that, he even had to endure the desire and take time to check Qing
Yun’s body with the therapeutic device for the next treatment.

He didn’t want to bring harm to Qing Yun again because of his negligence.
Because of this, Chris hesitated in forming the knot, and just this moment of
hesitation caused the knot to be stuck in a place that wasn’t quite right. He
actually bullied Qing Yun until he cried and gave Chris a bite on his shoulder to
vent.

Now, the teeth marks on Chris’s shoulder were still aching.

No one would have thought that Admiral Chris, who graduated from the military
academy with all A+ grades, would have caused such a mess when he was
marking the omega.

Chris looked down to check the information on his Smart Brain.

[Hahahaha, Admiral Chris fell for that idiot, Jorah? Don’t get it wrong, the
Admiral was just being a gentleman to help out. You only saw Admiral Chris
holding a Jorah in heat. Did you see them mating? Again, Admiral Chris is my
husband!]

[Jorah in heat anytime, anywhere is disgusting! Like a beast!]

[We thank God for Chris, knowing that with Jorah’s dragging his heels, he might
have accidentally sold out the entire Federation!

[I have a conspiracy theory, this omega called Jorah is really scheming, at first
seducing Admiral Lucas failed, and still act like a victim. Now he even seduced
Admiral Chris. Is this trying to stir up the relationship between the First Legion,
Second Legion, and Fourth Legion? I’m really on my knees.]

These were all comments under the home page of JorahStar.com, and Chris
slowly pulled them down, his silver eyes growing colder.

Suddenly, his assistant projected on the side.

It was only a virtual projection, Chris could see the other side’s face and could
hear what he said, but the other side couldn’t see the image of Chris’s side.

Chris looked back at the sleeping teenager on the bed, he couldn’t bear to let
others see Jorah.

“Admiral, do you need to remove any comments against Mr. Jorah?”

“No, I’ll hold a conference.”

yuzu: i’m shocked that Chris is actually fifty years old haha. also, the comments
about Jorah are annoying
Chapter 33

Turning off the communicator, Chris was attached to tidying the hair on the side
of Qing Yun’s cheek. He bowed his head and kissed the young man’s pink face,
whispering, “I won’t let anyone hurt you again.”

Including myself.

After pulling the blanket upwards for the boy, Chris got up and walked out.

The warm and non-blinding sunlight shone on the bed. Qing Yun slowly opened
his eyes and stretched his back.

Until now, he had been lamenting the wonders of this world, whether it was this
one week of shamelessness or the structure of alpha and omega bodies.
Thinking of this, Qing Yun couldn’t help but blush, the side of his head rubbed on
the soft pillow.

Although he woke up, Qing Yun had no intention to sit up.

After all, he is now “delicate,” so how can he just move around? Qing Yun
snorted, and only then did he properly digest the energy pouring into his soul.

On the Flamingo’s starship, Chris had been the one to finish off Apollon. Qing
Yun was terrified for a while, fearing that Heavenly Dao might have noticed
something wrong, but it seemed that Chris’s soul was so special that it didn’t
even attract Heavenly Dao’s attention. [T/N: Sorry for my previous translation in
Chapter 31. I seem to have mistaken Qing Yun as the one who twisted Apollon’s
neck in the end. I’ve already changed that part.]

The energy given by this world was quite generous, which finally satisfied Qing
Yun.
This world’s way of completing quests was relatively new to Qing Yun. He just
needed to passively guard the information and secretly put pressure on Chris at
the same time.

In just one week, he completed the mission in this world, which surprised Qing
Yun.

The thought of detaching from the world played around in his head again, but
then Qing Yun remembered how Chris had been surrounding him these days. He
couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh.

Directly leaving the world, how could it be any more fun than staying behind and
screwing with him a little?

Admiral Chris held an informational conference.

This made the people familiar with his personality a little surprised because Chris
has always been a man of action. He never talks nonsense to people unless it is
necessary, and holding a conference is more like the style of those old people in
the council.

Most of the people watched the live broadcast of the conference with curiosity
due to Chris’s strong influence in the Federation.

What would Admiral Chris say? Was it a major decision made by the top of the
Federation, or was it to recount his experiences on the mission?

The audience was visibly enthusiastic and flooded the screen with pop-ups.

[Is the upper levels of the Federation out of their minds? I can’t believe they let
Chris come on board to hold a conference…]
[I’ll bet that the Admiral will end with two sentences.]

[I bet!]

[Chris is my husband, Chris is my husband, Chris is my husband…] This was

clearly an avid fan of Chris, and the blood-red font painted all over the screen.

But that didn’t affect the mood of the viewers; they were used to it, the chances
of Chris appearing in the public eye were very few. However, every appearance
was bound to cause a storm, with omegas and betas clamoring to give him
children all over the Federation. Even some of the alphas were obsessed with
him.

[The one in front of me is getting in the way of my screen licking!]

[What’s the Admiral going to say this time?]

[I want to hear everything!]

[It’s not about Jorah, is it?]

[Hahahahahaha, dude, the funniest joke of the year is yours.]

As soon as this pop-up came out, several hahaha’s immediately followed below.
It was because Chris never put his mind on personal matters, and all of his time
seemed to be contributed to the Federation.

Moreover, they didn’t think that Jorah was really involved with Chris. Otherwise,
they wouldn’t have been able to ridicule Jorah so recklessly.
Everyone was cheerfully anticipating Chris to get to the point. They were
enthusiastically speculating about what Chris was going to say, and
subconsciously forgot about Jorah.

However, this time Chris was clearly going to surprise them to the end.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he stated his purpose straightforwardly: “This

conference is being held to clarify some personal matters.”

“Jorah is my legal partner.” This statement was spoken with exceptional

firmness by Chris. His silver eyes looking directly at the audience like sharp
blades, “Any malicious speculation about our relationship on the Star Network
will be treated as slander if it comes up again.”

As soon as Chris said this, all the viewers were shocked, and the screen full of
pop-ups finally subsided, leaving only the “Chris is my husband” line still
stubbornly hanging on.

“I will hold the person who leaked Jorah’s personal information legally
responsible.”

At that, Chris looked down at the screen and frowned, “Also, to avoid any
misunderstanding, I refuse to be addressed affectionately by anyone other than
Jorah. If it comes up again, I will equate it to a violation of my honor.”

As soon as Chris finished speaking, the blood-red pop-up finally drifted away
quietly without reappearing.

The viewers watching the press conference were all confused at the moment;
they were stupefied as they looked at the stern Chris in the video. A faint chill
gradually surfaced as they were stared at by his pair of icy silver eyes.
But at the same time, there was a flood of incomprehension.

Was Jorah really involved with Admiral Chris?

And to have the Admiral himself hold a press conference to support him?

The Admiral couldn’t even tolerate a little nickname for him?

What a bitch!

Puzzlement and anger gradually rushed over the group’s heads. As Chris made
this call, the original passersby became frustrated with Jorah as well.

Good grief, the original national icon was rounded out by Jorah alone. Jorah has
absolutely no ability to match up to Admiral Chris.

They are totally mismatched!

The few fans who had been swiping “Chris is my husband” were even more
upset. What does the Admiral mean? For Jorah to deny them the right to like
him?

Chris’s assistant stood outside the camera and covered his face with a miserable
expression.

He knew he shouldn’t have let the Admiral go up to speak in person, such a cold
and unaccommodating speech, the effect is worse than forcefully deleting
comments, OK?
This is not a favor to Mr. Jorah’s strength at all, but instead, it just gave people
a feeling of hatred!

As if he didn’t notice the angry emotions of the audience in front of the screen,
Chris took out a video chip. He dropped his eyes to stare at the tiny chip in his
palm and said, “This is my personal video of this mission. Originally, I didn’t
want to take it out. After all, I don’t want you guys to see his…” miserable
appearance.

At that, Chris stopped and closed his eyes to stabilize his emotions before
continuing, “However, I can’t stand your misunderstanding and slander of Jorah
any longer.”

After that, he bowed his head and inserted the chip into the projector.

At that time, the top management of the Federation had equipped Chris with a
personal camera device to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings after his
return.

The video had been presented as a record of this mission, and this time, it was
also only after Chris had applied and politely obtained Jorah’s consent that the
video could be made public.

Can you watch the video and understand it? The viewers were still angry; they
didn’t need to see it to know that the video was nothing more than Admiral Chris
meeting Jorah on a mission and being touched by Jorah’s trust.

Only Chris, who has never been in love before, would believe Jorah’s
shenanigans!

The video begins to show, and the audience impatiently awaits Jorah’s
appearance.
Everyone’s eyes widened at the sight of Chris getting ordered to interrogate
Jorah. They didn’t expect the two to meet in such a way.

A comment immediately popped up on the screen: [It’s just a joke, how do you
fall in love in this situation?]

[Maybe the Admiral would release water.] T/N: this could probably mean like the
Admiral would not use full strength? not do it seriously?

[Impossible, we believe that the Admiral would never treat the mission as a
child’s play.]

At that moment, Chris’s voice added at the side with an odd huskiness, as if he
was suppressing his fears, “In the beginning, I was prepared to kill him to
ensure that Dr. Ramiel’s trail would not be revealed.”

The words “kill him” smashed into the hearts of the crowd, making them shut up.

Admiral Chris was always concerned with the greater good, that much they all
knew.

Jorah on the video looked up at Chris, and when everyone thought he would beg
for mercy, the word that the teen cursed out made their faces heat up.

Traitor, that’s what people labeled Chris after he defected to the enemy. How
much respect they had for him earlier was how angry they were when they knew
he had defected. They spat at him in anger, attacking him wildly on Chris’s Star
Network page.
The boy cursed clearly, with gritted teeth and genuine emotion. A moment that
took them back to a time when they were shrouded in death and suffered the
pain of betrayal.

After learning of the theft of the genetic chip, all of the people in the Federation
lived in fear that one day they would die quietly in their sleep. Then, what
followed was the news of the betrayal of their beloved patron saint. During that
time, everyone unreservedly unleashed their fears on Chris.

Jorah’s spitefulness unexpectedly brought the audience a sense of recognition

that he was just as angry and fearful as the rest of us, but also loved the
Federation.

But they still have a mistrust of Jorah; He is so cowardly and weak, can he
withstand the torture?

When Jorah’s torture began, there was also a malicious expectation: At how
many lashes would he fail to hold out?

But soon, they couldn’t say anything.

Because they realized that Chris was really not holding back.

It was impossible to hurt someone’s life with a single whip, but it was also
necessary to inflict enough pain and even enough psychological pressure. This
was the essence of interrogation, and Chris had done it all.

And what about Jorah? His reaction was even more surprising. Not only did he
not plead for mercy, but not even a hint of his voice showed. He also looked
straight at Chris with his eyes, and didn’t even try to dodge!
Whenever they thought Jorah couldn’t hold on, Jorah would always refresh their
impressions of him again.

At first, they speculated when Jorah would not be able to hold on and beg for
mercy, but later they sweated for the punished teenager.

Hold on! Hang in there!

They watched as the transmission lines from the mental deterrent connected to
the back of Jorah’s head and raised their hearts uneasily at that.

They saw the boy withstand the shock of the deterrent and shouted for
encouragement, but they couldn’t stop laughing at the funny scene when Jorah
kicked Chris and was knocked around.

While they felt sorry for the teenager because his head was stabbed into a
hedgehog, their hearts ached for him when he said, “The Federation will not
fail!”. Then, when they saw the teenager proudly say with his head held high
that he belonged to the Federation’s Supreme Art Academy, they covered their
mouths and laughed out tears.

Watching the teenager suffer increasingly severe punishment, some people in

front of the screen even forgot that this was just a video, cheering for him loudly,
weeping for him.

The boy in the video gritted his teeth and endured the pain, holding on to the
secret in his heart.

Though he was entirely on the weaker side, his persistence was felt by all the
Federation people. On one side, they seem to be controlled by Jorah’s emotions,
nervous for him, proud of him, suffering for him, and crying for him. On the
other side, they were also quietly asking themselves: If it were me, would I be
able to survive? Could I bear not to reveal Dr. Ramiel’s whereabouts?
The viewers watching the live broadcast in front of the screen were complicated
inside, but the video wasn’t over yet.

Everyone didn’t expect Jorah to sing the national anthem.

The national anthem, a song that everyone knew and sang throughout their
childhood, but didn’t care to mention as an adult, was sung by a teenager in
such a style.

Fear and depression, hope and light, crossed and collided in Jorah’s clear voice,
and in the end, hope prevailed, and a triumphant anthem was sung.

This infectious voice instantly stirred up the lingering fear and the sigh of relief
in the hearts of all the people of the Federation. They even recalled the fire and
scorched earth of the Capital Star before the founding of the Federation.

Somewhere along the line, someone sang the national anthem along with the
voice in the video, one after another, strong and determined.

The Federation had never had a scene like this.

All of those watching the broadcast may have been walking along the road,
resting on a garden bench, waiting for a cone at the ice cream shop, or just took
a quick glance up in front of the big screen.

They all involuntarily sang the national anthem of the Federation.

Just as their voices became more resonant and their emotions were more
agitated, an electric flash of lightning appeared in the video. There were no
screams, no cries of pain, and the voice that led them suddenly lowered.
Everyone’s voices came to a screeching halt, their passionate emotions suddenly
stuck at that point. They could only look up at the screen as the teenager sang
one hoarse sentence at a time, blood pattering all over the floor with his voice.

“No!” Someone finally couldn’t stand to hold the screen and cry, this beautiful
sound shouldn’t be ruined.

When they tried to look up at the boy again, they found that the video had been
turned off, and the boy was nowhere to be seen.

It was Chris who turned off the video, his hand, which had always held weapons
firmly, now trembled and covered his eyes. The video was shot from Chris’s
point of view, edited to show each of the teenager’s torture scenes, which was
precisely the memory Chris wanted to escape the most.

Now he had to force himself to watch it again to relive the hesitation, pain, and
self-pity he had felt in the beginning.
Chapter 34

Chris stiffly announced that the press conference was over, and then turned
around to leave, but the camera still caught his reddened eyes the moment he
turned his head.

The screen went blank for a moment before a pop-up appeared: [Who the hell
called Jorah a coward? Come out now, I promise I won’t kill you.]

[I want to cry, I want to slap myself, I didn’t know Jorah, and yet I still made up
stories.]

[No point in talking about it. Go apologize.]

The topic of #Let’s apologize to Jorah# quickly rose.

Another wave of people flooded into Jorah’s StarNet page. When they saw the
line “My dream is to sing to the world” on the homepage again, they all felt a
trace of bitterness in their hearts.

They had previously mocked this line, but now they just wanted to go back in
time and pull their heads off.

Wasn’t their mockery a stab in the heart of Jorah, whose voice had been injured?

The apologetic comments momentarily overshadowed the earlier taunts, and

Ramiel’s earlier comments defending Jorah were put on top of the others.

It turns out that Jorah saved Dr. Ramiel in the beginning. If Jorah hadn’t, and Dr.
Ramiel had been arrested, would they be living such an easy life now?
[Crying in the toilet, I hope Jorah hasn’t been watching StarNet these days.
Otherwise, it would be hard for him to see our words when he’s so badly
injured…]

[Now I know why Admiral Chris fell in love with Jorah. I’m in love with him too.
From now on, Chris isn’t my husband, I am Jorah’s wife!]

[Voice! The voice! Am I the only one who cares about Jorah’s voice? Is it still
curable? This voice can’t go away ahhhh! By the way, did you guys record the
previous song?]

[Fuck, I was so heartbroken, who’d even think to record…]

Someone had recorded it, and maybe they’d started with bad intentions, but
they had given Jorah plenty of respect when they finally released it. They edited
out the torture and only put the part where he sang on the Star Network.

The video was wildly forwarded as soon as it appeared, with everyone indulging
themselves in his singing voice and even praising it as the most beautiful voice
of the century.

Even though they had already seen it once, the crowd burst into tears when they
saw the boy’s throat injury again. They frantically flocked to Jorah’s StarNet
page to praise and encourage him.

Just as everyone was expecting Jorah to get well and once again show this
beautiful voice to the public, Ramiel released a statement. He not only revealed
that he had adopted Jorah but also helplessly said that Jorah’s voice was no
longer recoverable.

Even though the outcome was expected, people were still heartbroken and were
even regretting why they were so harsh on Jorah in the first place.
With that unfinished national anthem, Jorah’s name became famous throughout
the Federation.

Only then did the general public learn that the reason the Federation was able to
avert the crisis was not only because of Admiral Chris, not only because of those
five brave soldiers of the First Legion but also because of this young man. He
used his fragile back to carry the fate of the entire Federation.

Without paying attention to the renewed craze rising on the Star Network, it
took Chris half a day to compose himself.

Seeing Chris, the housekeeper guarding the living room immediately stepped
forward and bowed, “General, Young Master Jorah has been awake for a whole
day, would you like to check on him?”

“I…,” Chris was visibly nervous, “How’s he doing? Did he eat? Don’t let him read
that nonsense on the Star Network…”

After the estrus, Chris hadn’t gone to see Jorah yet. Even the matter of playing
the video had been arranged for the housekeeper to ask.

However, it was for vague reasons and only told Jorah that there was some
political need for him to agree to make the video public.

The old housekeeper looked kindly at the always quiet Chris rambling on a lot
before smiling and saying, “General, you should go see young Master Jorah
yourself.”

Upon hearing this, Chris was stuck. He pursed his lips in silence for a long time
but eventually didn’t dare to go upstairs.
The damage he had inflicted on Jorah could never be erased, and it made him
incredibly nervous. Now that Jorah was awake from his estrus, he might have
regretted his decision to mate with him or maybe remembered Lucas again.

Lucas had once treated Jorah with disdain, but what about now? Would he try to
take Jorah away?

Nowadays, the alpha’s mark on the omega can be removed by medical means,
though with some difficulty.

What was Chris going to do if Jorah made such a request to him?

Chris missed the boy madly, but the fear of abandonment and rejection made
him stop in his tracks.

Hesitation and doubt filled Chris’s normally calm heart. He dropped his eyes and
refused, “Forget it, I have other work to do.”

Chris went into hiding for days.

During those days, the Federation people, who were so full of sympathy and
guilt for Jorah, were overflowing with pampering. They once again viewed Chris
and Jorah’s union with scrutiny, but this time with the feeling of marrying off
their son.

On Chris’s StarNet page, a few comments were raised high.

[We recognize Chris’s contributions to the Federation and understand why he’s
in love with Baby Jorah. But we had to sensibly assess whether Chris would
make a good partner. He’s a Federation God of War, with a heart for the entire
Federation and a busy schedule. Will he have time to take care of and pamper
Baby Jorah]?
[Dr. Ramiel once said that because Chris chose to get the chip back for the
Federation, Baby Jorah was almost done a bad thing by the Flamingo’s leader.
Chris didn’t hesitate to choose between the Federation and the Baby. We can’t
say that Chris was wrong, but what about later, will Baby Jorah still be hurt?]

[Baby has been hurt so much, I hope he will be okay from now on.]

[Maybe Jorah doesn’t need a Federation Warlord with great responsibilities, but
a regular companion who can love him and take care of him, like me!]

[Don’t look at Chris as very powerful, he’s too cold, he’s only fit to be a God of
War and an idol, not a gentle companion.]

Dr. Ramiel, who has become Jorah’s adoptive father, watched the fun unfold and
gave praise to all the above comments while breaking the news that Chris hasn’t
even visited Jorah once after his heat passed!

This news surprisingly caused a rare outcry against Chris: If you can’t take care
of him properly, don’t try to possess him!

There was even a suspicion that Chris was only with Jorah because he was in a
state of guilt.

Then someone else brought up Lucas, but they were now seeing things in a
much different light.

If Jorah was telling the truth in the beginning and he and Lucas were really
engaged, then what is Lucas who dumped Jorah because of Corsi?

A big scumbag!
Chris has been distraught these past few days, he’s been so worried about
Jorah’s health. The comments that have been popping up on the internet have
caused him so much anxiety that he couldn’t even resist violently punching Dr.
Ramiel!

As usual, the housekeeper provided him with a daily report on Jorah’s condition,
but Chris is now even more afraid to see Jorah. He previously avoided him and
then ran over as soon as the comments came out on the internet. What will
Jorah think of him?

With a raised hand, he waved off the steward, and with an increasingly cold, icy
face, Chris left with his assistant. The crisis had just passed, and he was indeed
incredibly busy these days.

Before stepping into the aircraft, Chris took his usual glance up at the window of
his second-floor bedroom, however, the sight of it almost made his heart stop.

A skinny youth was sitting on the window, his bare feet dangling in mid-air. The
young man actually jumped down when he saw Chris.

At that moment, Chris ignored everything, he only had eyes for the boy’s falling
body.

Chris exerted his speed to the extreme and rushed over to catch the boy before
he hit the ground.

He held Qing Yun in his arms, only to feel his heart constrict and the arms
holding the young man tremble with restraint.

Chris bowed his head, his voice suppressing the pain, “You…don’t have to do this,
I’ll send you away if you don’t like it, I have no intention of imprisoning you. I’ll
call Lucas if you like him, I’ll never let him leave you!”
Saying those words, Chris’s heart was dripping blood, he didn’t think that Jorah
would do such a thing to escape from him.

When he was in extreme pain and felt that even his soul was about to break, the
teenager stretched out his thin, weak arms and gently wrapped them around his
neck.

Qing Yun leaned in and hung his whole body on Chris. He looked at Chris with
dissatisfaction in his eyes, “Idiot, I’m here for you.”

Chris was stunned, his eyes widening slightly, and he looked in disbelief.

Qing Yun looked at his adorable expression and almost couldn’t help but laugh
out loud.

These days, this guy avoided him so much that Qing Yun even has to ask the
housekeeper to invite him. Naturally, Qing Yun waited with displeasure, he
originally planned to keep this cowardly guy even if he exposed his physical
condition today.

But unexpectedly, he was misunderstood and thought he was seeking death?

Raising his hand to cup Chris’s face, which was so shocked at the moment, Qing
Yun’s heart ached for a bit. He didn’t expect this guy’s heart would be so tangled
that he fell into self-torture all day long.

After raising his mouth to kiss Chris’ somewhat dry lips, Qing Yun then leaned
over and bit his earlobe, whining softly in his ear, “You didn’t come to see me
these days, what if I wanted to do it again?”

Indeed, some omegas’ heat period doesn’t pass so neatly. The hormones fade
slowly, and the body is still affected for some time after the period.
Qing Yun deliberately opened a pair of dark eyes and looked at Chris with pure
innocence. He could feel Chris’s body instantly reacting because of his short,
provocative words.

Chris didn’t say anything, though at this point, he was incredibly spiteful about
his lack of words. He stood up and held Qing Yun in his arms as he strode
towards the house.

Not far away, the assistant with a face full of confusion immediately called out to
him, “Admiral! What about today’s meeting?”

“Postponed.”

It was Chris’s cold but somewhat unsteady breath that responded to his words.

The assistant helplessly shrugged, people with omegas are just different.

After fulfilling his obligations as an alpha once again, Chris carefully scrubbed
Qing Yun’s body clean. He held the drowsy Qing Yun in his arms and devotedly
kissed the youth’s lovely hair.

The fear that had been fermenting in his heart for a long time gradually faded
away. Chris leaned on the bed, and only then did he have the thought to open
Jorah’s StarNet homepage.

The previously attacking words in there had been spontaneously removed by the
people, leaving only a few concerned and inquiring comments.

Chris’s StarNet page was a complete mess, but people had tacitly refrained from
making noise on Jorah’s side, and his message board was calm and quiet.
Chris noticed that just today, Jorah’s homepage had been updated with a
message, a message without a beginning or an end.

He is my favorite hero.

That one sentence calmed down the recent turmoil and softened Chris’s heart
even more.

The comment section was instantly flooded.

[Oh, I’m glad the baby likes him!]

[I can’t. Baby loves him….]

[Oooh…….are you sure you won’t consider me?]

[Baby, take good care of yourself and get well.]

Knowing their initial misunderstanding of Jorah, everyone was now overflowing

with affection for the young man, wanting nothing more than to spoil him to the
skies.

[A senior from the Federation’s Supreme Art Academy has come to praise the
Baby.] A group of students from the Federation’s Supreme Art Academy followed
to reply below this comment. Since watching the conference, the Federation’s
Supreme Art Academy had somehow caught fire, and the omegas and betas
attending the school had straightened their backs and were no longer shy about
their school.
Looking at the ‘baby’ in the comments, Chris felt a bit of jealousy. He lowered
his head and kissed Qing Yun on the cheek: “You’re my baby only.”

yuzu: this arc is almost over!

Chapter 35

Lucas’s eyes were red, bloodshot.

He tirelessly watched the video on his Smart Brain. Chris did not put the video
on the Star Network. Still, as the commander of the Second Legion, Lucas
naturally had access to the complete footage.

He stared with his dry eyes at the stubborn and dazzling young man enduring
pain on the screen.

After taking a big gulp of hard liquor, the alcohol wreaked havoc on his stomach
from not eating for so long. Lucas felt his chest twitch with pain.

Could Jorah be this strong? Could Jorah really be that strong? He kept asking
himself that question repeatedly.

How strong he is, don’t you know? Lucas laughed bitterly.

Lucas and Jorah grew up in an orphanage where bullying was expected, and life
was not easy.

Lucas always defended Jorah from the others and fought over food and toys.
Jorah was weak and would only call his name with tears in his eyes as he fought
with the others.

But one time, when Lucas was knocked down. As he held his head in his hands
and braced himself for the fists that would land on him, Jorah, who had always
been a coward, rushed up to him. His small body stood right in front of Lucas,
spreading his short, thin arms to shield him.

“Don’t you dare bully Lucas!”

He remembered Jorah’s clear voice screaming like that. He’d always known that
when trying to protect the person he cared most about, the cowardly Jorah
would turn sharp and unyielding for a moment.

It was that time, too, that Lucas promised little Jorah, “I’ll always protect you
and never let you get hurt.”

But then what happened? Did he eat this promise?

He and Jorah started with just each other, but then Lucas had the Second Legion
and Corsi.

And Jorah had nothing.

Lucas covered his face and sobbed. Did Jorah wait for him to appear while he
suffered from a cruel punishment? Did he cry out in his mind, “Lucas, help me!”

But then, at such a time, not only did he not show up, what did he say?

Oh, he said: He’s caused you a lot of trouble, hasn’t he?

How dare you, Lucas? He slapped himself twice.

“Bang!” The door swung open, and Corsi walked in with firm steps. He propped
his hands on the desk and leaned into Lucas’ eyes, “Lucas, let’s break up.”

Lucas froze at the words.

“Actually, I’ve been hesitant since I was with you,” Corsi calmly said. “You’re
right, Jorah doesn’t have enough physical rank to match you, and we’re the best
match for each other.”
“But just because you and I are compatible, just because our bodies are good
enough, should Jorah give up the happiness that was his?” Corsi closed his eyes,
“Just…deserved…to be abandoned by you?”

“I’m sorry, Lucas, I really can’t force myself to be with you under the
circumstances.”

After saying that, Corsi looked deeply at Lucas, turned around, and left.

He boarded his aircraft and turned on his Smart Brain.

One of these days, a post floated up on the front page of a forum, the poster
asked: What physique are you? Will you survive the torture that Jorah suffered?

There was a real mental deterrent, a mixture of poison, drugs, gravity devices,
and other messy things.

Previously, there was indeed some questioning that Jorah couldn’t have survived
an entire mental deterrent. Still, with the video as evidence, with Dr. Ramiel
theorizing that Jorah’s mental powers had mutated under powerful stimuli, and
with Chris’s daily treatment and protection, the doubts quickly disappeared and
the admiration for Jorah rose instead.

The replies all brought their mental strength and physique levels to the post.

[Physique A, Mental Strength A+, I can’t, the mixed poison is horrible.]

[Physique B, Mental Strength S, I can’t, it’s a real mental deterrent after all…]
….

The building was so high that Corsi slowly swept down from top to bottom.
Eventually, he also replied to the post: [Physique S, Mental Strength S, I can’t.]

[T/N: this is referring to the length of the post]

Corsi leaned back in his seat and sighed. He was the omega who started the
trend of omegas entering military academies. He intended to break the
restrictions society had placed on omegas, which did happen. However, there
was another trend that had arisen in the community. It was only omegas with
good constitution that were respected. In contrast, omegas that could only enter
the art academy remained unpopular.

While he was pleased with what he had achieved, he had a vague feeling that it
wasn’t right. People were still divided into classes entirely based on their
physical rank in such a harmonious and civilized society.

Should weaker omegas still be eliminated? That’s not what he wanted…

However, Jorah’s presence broke this situation. He was both weak and strong
enough. His presence told people that no matter how bad his physical rank was,
and no matter what industry he was in, there was no way to deny his strength
or character.

After a moment of contemplation, he ordered his Smart Brain, “Initiate a request

to Admiral Chris. I would like to visit Mr. Jorah.”

The sunlight passed through the clear floor-to-ceiling windows and spread out
over the white bed, illuminating the young man rolling around in his tantrum
with a soft glow.
“You get out! Don’t touch me, get as far away from me as you can!” Qing Yun
rolled over on the soft bed, his silky black hair scattered on his cheeks.

Chris helplessly sat on the edge of the bed. He reached out to block the bed’s
edge to prevent the young man from accidentally rolling off the ground. It was
also fortunate that the bed was soft enough not to harm the teenager; otherwise,
Chris wouldn’t have let Qing Yun roll around like this.

Qing Yun’s face was flushed as he rolled, and at the sight of the man still
unmoved, he was particularly upset as he pulled Chris’s long blonde hair and
raised his foot to step hard on his back: “What’s the use of having you!”

Chris was afraid of hurting Qing Yun with force, so he relaxed his body and
gently pulled his hair out of the boy’s hands.

He lowered his head and kissed Qing Yun’s cheeks that were blushing with anger,
“Be good, we just did it last night.”

“But I want it now!” Qing Yun sat up, raised his chin at Chris, and made no
attempt to hide his desire. To be honest, he wasn’t quite used to the man of this
world becoming so serious all of a sudden. He would stick to him in the previous
two worlds like dogskin plaster, but now he acted like a gentleman.

[T/N: Because of the stickiness of dogskin plaster, it is sometimes used to

describe sticky things or to describe being too close to others.]

Chris’s eyes flashed helplessly; his omega asked for this, how could he not be
tempted? It was just that he was worried about Qing Yun’s body.

“If you don’t do it, I’ll find someone else.” Qing Yun leaned in close and cupped
his chin threateningly.

Chris’s face darkened in an instant and detained the man in his arms, “No!”
The sun was just right, and the two slowly collapsed on the bed. Chris tried his
best to please Qing Yun.

But not long ago, the young man who was previously rolling around began to
frown and push against Chris’s shoulder. He spat out words that could be
described as cold and heartless: “Okay, you can go now….”.

It really was like that again.

Chris covered his face and lamented that the omega that wasn’t in heat would
quickly come and go, completely unable to satisfy the alpha…

He had to discard his desire and get up to pick up Qing Yun and clean him. After
taking care of everything and placing the boy on clean sheets, Chris then turned
to take a cold shower.

This kind of thing happened recently; of course, Chris could not refuse to Qing
Yun’s request. He was even more reluctant to ignore him when he refused to
continue, so he could only live a life of being aroused to the point of desire…
desire to burst, and then miserably take a cold shower.

He lowered his head and looked at a specific part of himself. If not for the
estrus’s existence, if this continues, sooner or later, he would have to…

Qing Yun lay contentedly on the bed, the corners of his mouth picking up an
unkind smile. He was helpless now that this body was like this.

When Chris came out of the bathroom, Qing Yun stared at him curiously.

Looking at his eyes full of curiosity, Chris felt a chill in his heart, this
time……what bad idea did he have?
The young man seemed to be extremely curious, always coming up with bizarre
ideas that made Chris beg for his life every time.

“Honey.” Qing Yun called him with a sweet look on his face.

Chris’s heart immediately softened and walked up to him to ask, “What’s wrong?”

Qing Yun stared at him, “The alpha has knots, right?”

“Yes.” As soon as he heard that was the question, Chris laughed and
ambiguously breathed in Qing Yun’s ear, “Baby, didn’t you feel it before?

With a raised eyebrow and a slight chuckle, Qing Yun turned, “But I haven’t seen
it before, so I want to see it.”

Chris stiffened and looked at him with disbelief, “The knot only opens inside the
omega, how can it be seen.”

Moreover, the alpha filling and opening the knot was both soothing and painful.
It would have to be inside the omega, and simultaneously being soothed by the
omega’s erotic pheromones to ignore that pain.

Qing Yun just looked at him coolly and insisted, “I’ll look at you if I want to, it’s
yours, not a textbook.”

Again…
Chris held his forehead; he had already found out that Qing Yun liked to make
pranks to screw with him, and what’s worse was that he couldn’t bear to refuse
at all.

Chris hugged Qing Yun with a helpless look, “Okay… I’ll think of something.”

Just as the two were warming up, the housekeeper’s voice rang out, “Admiral,
Admiral Corsi and Admiral Lucas will visit Young Master Jorah.”

Chris’s face immediately turned cold at the words. He subconsciously held the
young man in his arms tightly, coldly refusing, “No.”

“Wait, let them come in.” Qing Yun said.

In the meantime, the old housekeeper already knew who he should listen to and
answered the call.

Hearing Qing Yun’s words, Chris was clearly uncomfortable and frowned at him,
even showing a bit of aggravation in his eyes.

Qing Yun hugged his neck and kissed him: “Don’t think nonsense; it’s just to
make an end.”

Only then did Chris relieve his emotions and carried Qing Yun to the sofa outside.

Corsi and Lucas didn’t expect to see each other at Chris’s house. Still, when they
saw the young man that Chris had carefully carried out, they were immediately
drawn to him.

Lucas couldn’t contain himself and immediately made his way over to Jorah, “Are
you okay…”
Suddenly, he paused, he smelled the pheromone on Jorah. It wasn’t the familiar
smell anymore; it seemed to have changed a lot. But Lucas couldn’t even
distinguish it clearly, because the omega’s pheromones were mixed with Chris’s,
which was as sharp as a blade, making it difficult even to breathe.

“I’m fine, I owe the two of you a blessing before, but I’m making up for it now.”
Qing Yun smiled.

His carefree words further caused Lucas’s heart to tighten.

Chris watched Lucas’s expression closely, who couldn’t contain releasing his
pheromones.

Chris’s sharp pheromones immediately charged towards Lucas like a sword. “Put
away your pheromones in front of my omega.”

Lucas immediately took two steps back; his emotions were clearly agitated by
Chris’s words. “Sorry, something is wrong with me at the moment. I’ll…see you
some other time.”

With that, he immediately turned around and went out in a hurry.

“I’m going to see him off.” Chris kissed the top of Qing Yun’s hair, his eyes
narrowing as he followed Lucas out.

As soon as he left the room, Chris immediately pinned Lucas’s neck and
threatened him impatiently. “Don’t ever appear before Jorah again. He’s mine,
and you’ve brought him nothing but harm.”
Lucas was taken aback, obviously not expecting Chris, who was always cold and
businesslike, to have such an obviously emotional moment.

“What about you?” Lucas gathered his courage and glared at Chris, “Did you
hurt him any less?”

Not fazed by Lucas’s words, Chris emphatically admitted, “Yes, I hurt him, and
I’ll always remember what an asshole I was.”

But he chose me, and I’ll repent for my sins with my whole soul.

Whether it was in the face of Lucas’s questioning or the others’ doubts about his
feelings for Jorah, Chris had no intention of defending himself. It was never
verbal arguments or promises that he needed to make.

Lucas sniffed, hung his eyes, and smiled, “I know, I won’t come back. You take
care of him.”

“It’s my duty.” Chris said coldly, before releasing Lucas’ neck, “I won’t see you
off.”

Lucas left disoriented.

Corsi was in the room, but he never made a sound, and he looked at Qing Yun
firmly.

“What?” Qing Yun sipped his tea, moistening his dry throat.

“Your voice…” at the sound of his hoarse voice, a hint of discomfort flashed
between Corsi’s brows.
Qing Yun smiled faintly, “Well, it’s ruined, but fortunately, I left a song before it
was ruined.”

Corsi slowly walked closer to him and asked softly, “Do you regret it? If you had
a stronger body, you wouldn’t be in this situation at all.”

Qing Yun let him ask, a powerful body? Of course, he wanted to, Qing Yun was
used to being strong, and his weakness when he first arrived did make him very
uncomfortable. But it couldn’t be helped, could it? He just survived the
punishment with a weak body and completed the mission of this world.

He believed that this would happen again in the future because Qing Yun was
very weak compared to Heavenly Dao. But, would Qing Yun give up his
resistance because he was weak?

Not at all.

“Powerful or not, it has nothing to do with the body.” Qing Yun looked up
straight into Corsi’s eyes.

Corsi’s pupils shrank due to his words, then flashed with emotion.

His eyebrows slowly became gentle, and he half crouched in front of Qing Yun:
“It’s a bit rude, but… can I pursue you?”

The author has something to say: The last sentence satisfies my bad taste.
yuzu: omg that last part was so unexpected
Chapter 36

With that, Corsi took Qing Yun’s hand and placed a kiss on the back of it.

Qing Yun reflexively withdrew his hand, looking confused; what is this situation?
He had just blessed these two, and now one of them was going to chase after
him?

“Corsi, don’t you dare!” Chris’s voice with hidden anger rang out. He appeared
beside Qing Yun in the blink of an eye and raised his hand to whisk Corsi away.
He dared to leave Corsi behind because he was also an omega, but he didn’t
expect that an omega would come and steal Qing Yun from him!

Chris protected Qing Yun’s hand, his fingers rubbing the skin that Corsi had just
kissed, “Get out! You’re not welcome at the Delaware house!”

Corsi wasn’t intimidated by him. He gracefully said goodbye to Qing Yun before
turning to leave.

After much effort to calm down a nearly frenzied Chris, Qing Yun thought about
Corsi, who threatened to pursue him, and suddenly felt sorry for Lucas.

The horror of the missing genetic chip finally came to an end.

The Federation held a funeral for the fallen soldiers, and Jorah was invited to
attend the funeral.

An omega with a child in her arms, and a few old men with white hair behind her,
walked towards Qing Yun.

These were the relatives of the five soldiers who blew themselves up in the
Flamingo starship.
Qing Yun was stunned at the sight of them and felt a little bit of guilt. He didn’t
know that the Federation soldiers would have biological implants in their heads.
If he hadn’t sung the national anthem, those five people wouldn’t have died, and
when Chris got the chip back, they would have been rescued by the Federation
soldiers.

Bending down, Qing Yun bowed to the weak and elderly in front of him. If they
were angry with Qing Yun, this was as it should be.

“No, Mr. Jorah!” The omega who headed the group immediately reached out to
hold Qing Yun’s arm, and the child in his arms even reached out with a soft palm
to pat Qing Yun’s face.

“We’ve come to thank you.” An old man also stepped forward to help Qing Yun,
“I came to thank you, you made my son get his dignity back before he died.”

The omega holding the child had red eyes but still had firm eyes, “Yes, you don’t
need to blame yourself for that. I believe that if my husband were to choose, he
would rather die a worthy and sensational death than wilt for the rest of his life.”

Chris, who was standing beside the Federal Marshal, saw this and withdrew his
steps.

At this funeral, Chris revealed to the Federal Marshal that he did not want to
succeed him in the position of Marshal.

He saluted the Marshal, “It’s not just for Jorah. I’m also no longer qualified to be
the head of the Federation, and it was negligent of me to take five soldiers and
not bring any of them back.”

The Marshal resisted with a helpless face but still didn’t shake Chris’s resolve.
After handing over the matters related to the First Legion, Chris took Qing Yun
to a small planet to live in seclusion. The Federation people all know that their
original cruel Admiral Chris turned out to be a spoiled wife fanatic, who never
leaves his omega side for a moment. Occasionally, they appear in public, and
their interactions are sweet and make people’s teeth hurt.

The people of the Federation finally smiled in satisfaction at Chris’s obedience to

Jorah, but Chris, who was being played by Qing Yun every day, was in sweet
torment.

In addition, the newly appointed omega Marshal’s relentless pursuit of Jorah was
also unexpectedly pleasing to the people of the Federation.

In this life, it was Qing Yun who left first.

Before he died, Chris held him in his arms and didn’t dare to let go, as if he was
afraid that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Less than a day after Qing Yun’s death, Chris held his corpse in his arms and
closed his eyes.

The entire Federation mourned the passing of the two.

Qing Yun returned to the rift in the void and hesitated as his soul grew stronger,
the rift had expanded and transformed into a house’s appearance.

Leaning back on the couch, Qing Yun beckoned, and a ball of light appeared in
his palm.

Extending his fingertips to gently poke the ball of light, Qing Yun looked a little
embarrassed. To be honest, he didn’t want to leave this world behind, because
the setting of this world was too strange, and Qing Yun happened to be put on a
body like that.

As an outsider, Qing Yun was unable to nurture the soul of that world, let alone
Chris, who has taken care of him all his life and does not feel comfortable letting
him get pregnant.

But because of this, the estrus period of an infertile omega will never stop, and
will even become more frequent. Qing Yun can be said to have spent a
considerable period of time in his life in bed.

Just at the moment of hesitation, a familiar power suddenly entered his world,
hovered around him, and took away the world in his palm with a whoosh before
he could react.

Qing Yun’s eyes widened, whose is this power coming from? Heavenly Dao?

No, the Heavenly Dao would not be so gentle. Once it discovered Qing Yun, it
would definitely put him to death. Qing Yun subconsciously sent out a trace of
his consciousness to chase after the force, but stopped when he was about to
break through the space around him – he couldn’t take any chances, if the
Heavenly Dao was aware of his existence, all his efforts would be in vain.

A faint suspicion formed in his mind and Qing Yun frowned and pondered, who
was he? Not only can they follow him world by world, but also their souls fit well
with each world, and now they can even come into his side without attracting
the attention of heaven.

However, Qing Yun can also clearly notice that although this force only
“snatched” a world from his side, it was obviously quite laborious, and obviously
became much weaker when it retreated.

When he thought of this, Qing Yun’s mouth twitched; what does this guy want to
do with this absurd world that he stole with so much effort?
Some shameful images of the last world surfaced in Qing Yun’s mind again, his
face red, and he finally couldn’t help cursing out: This sperm-headed bastard!

After cursing, Qing Yun still pondered the chance that he would recognize the
man. He would be familiar with the man’s scent, but not always familiar enough
for him to recognize him.

To say when it was most familiar…

It was certainly when that man was in a rut, the hormones were released as if
they were free money, and Qing Yun knew as soon as he touched it that it was
the man he had slept with in the previous worlds…

The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable it was. Would he have to
get a hard-on first to tell if it was him or not when he came to a new world?

What a thought!

Qing Yun sneered, did not ponder on this mess anymore, and transported into
the next world.

With a loud sound, a cup of water was splashed onto Qing Yun’s face.

Physiological nausea instantly surged up. Seeing that the water was just clear
and hadn’t been touched, Qing Yun felt better.

A righteous voice instantly sounded in his ears, “Just because he’s got this face?
You just became so unlike yourselves that you put down your identities and
fought over him?”
The person who spoke then sneered, “What kind of trick is he playing that you
rich dudes who hang around can’t see? It’s nothing more than a trick to hook
you all up at the same time!”

Qing Yun picked up the paper towel on the table and slowly wiped the water
stains on his face as he took in the world’s information. Secretly saying
coincidentally, the body he was crossing to was also called Qing Yun, but not by
its original name, but by his stage name.

The person speaking is called Bai Xiyan. He and Qing Yun debuted at the same
time, and the artist of the same period was inevitably compared.

Qing Yun’s looks are simply gorgeous to an intoxicating degree, and the photos
have attracted a large number of fans. In contrast, Bai Xiyan’s appearance was
inferior. In the entertainment industry, where beauties are everywhere, the
slightest carelessness will obliterate anyone, let alone compare it to Qing Yun.

Although he has been acting desperately, he has only managed to make it to the
third tier, while Qing Yun has become popular with his looks. Although his acting
is terrible, he is so popular that a group of rich men are attracted to him and
surround him.

Yes, not one or two, but a group. In the end, these arrogant rich sons were even
strangely harmonious and willing to share Qing Yun with others.

Thinking of this, Qing Yun looked up at the six men present besides Bai Xiyan.

These six men each had their own characteristics, they were handsome,
dignified, domineering, or gentle. And the accessories they wore were low-key
and luxurious, all revealing their status as either rich or noble.

One of them is even the president of Tianyuan Entertainment – Deng Yunqi,

whom Bai Xiyan has been pursuing for a long time.
What a Mary Sue NP script. However, what Qing Yun crossed was the reborn
version of Bai Xiyan.

A short sentence from the current Bai Xiyan drew the eyes of these six men who
were originally glued to Qing Yun. They looked at Bai Xiyan, who had broken the
magic barrier in their hearts instantly, with emotion and shock in their eyes.

Yes, Qing Yun’s face seems to have an enchanting magic power, and just a
glance at it makes them get overwhelmed, making them almost fight over a
little star.

After their gratitude to Bai Xiyan, the men’s hearts were filled with anger
towards Qing Yun.

Qing Yun looked at their reactions, simply couldn’t suppress his mocking smile.

Whether it was the fact that Qing Yun had somehow attracted these six men
before his rebirth or Bai Xiyan had awakened the crowd with a few words,
causing these six men to look at him differently, it was the same pattern.

Qing Yun didn’t mean to mock this pattern, whether it’s the protagonist or the
villain, it’s just a matter of position. Take Qing Yun’s mission to defeat the
protagonist and gain the world’s energy, which is the same as the protagonist,
so Qing Yun never flaunted himself as a good guy.

But Bai Xiyan, who did the same thing but still acted like he was doing it for the
best of intentions, couldn’t see it clearly himself. After his rebirth, he took
advantage of what he had learned about various directors’ preferences in his
previous life to approach and win some auditions. In the auditions, Bai Xiyan
shines with his acting skills that he honed in his previous life.
Bai Xiyan’s debut was praised by several directors. He was accompanied by a
newcomer, Qing Yun, who was very good-looking but with infantile acting skills.

But Bai Xiyan didn’t spare Qing Yun, and he put out a message to draw the six
men together so they could see Qing Yun’s real face. Now, these men who are
only just attracted by Qing Yun suddenly encounter each other, but it is Qing
Yun who is the unlucky one who blows up.

In the direction of this life, today, Bai Xiyan’s appearance ultimately pushed Qing
Yun into the fire pit. As soon as they sober up, the six men who surround him
immediately become furious at Qing Yun, who was playing with their emotions.

Qing Yun has fallen down again and again in the entertainment industry,
eventually becoming a complete plaything for others because of his outstanding
looks. Then, Bai Xiyan was protected by the six men in the entertainment circle
all the way to the pinnacle of life and even got a “pure and unpretentious”
reputation in the entertainment circle.

After saying what he had just said, Bai Xi Yan didn’t care about the gazes cast
on him by a few men, nor was he moved by the favor of these powerful men.
Instead, he quietly looked at Deng Yunqi, who was sitting across from Qing Yun.

“I didn’t expect you to be like this.” Bai Xiyan laughed bitterly twice towards
Deng Yunqi while raising his eyes, his gaze firm, “I was wrong to pester you
before, I’ve caused trouble for Mr. Deng.”

After saying this, Bai Xiyan turned around sharply and left, but he knew that
Deng Yunqi would catch up with him.

Deng Yunqi panicked for a moment and immediately chased after Bai Xiyan,
“Xiyan, it’s not what you think, listen to my explanation…”
In this world, Deng Yunqi had indeed been attracted to Bai Xiyan early on and
was only slightly curious about Qing Yun.

“Oh? Did I let you go?” Qing Yun, who had been watching the drama, finally
opened his mouth, his soft voice was incomparably provocative. His words
carried a strange tenderness, making people’s ears itch for just a moment. His
eyes couldn’t help but be tightly hooked over.

As soon as they heard this voice, the six men’s throats tightened, and they
couldn’t help but look at Qing Yun in unison.

Only to see his face with water stains that have not been wiped clean, hair
dripping water, and not to mention, on his long eyelashes, there were still water
droplets hanging, stirring their hearts. This kind of appearance did not
compromise the beauty of Qing Yun’s face but brought a strange beauty.

The water droplets flowed down the neck into the white shirt’s collar, fainting it
into a transparent trace that was faintly visible.

Obviously, it should have been a pitiful appearance. However, this person was
still holding his chin high, with an incomparably arrogant appearance.

A scene like this made the men’s breath unsteady for a moment.

The author has something to say: ah ah ah forgot to preview yesterday, the new
world is the modern entertainment industry.

The attack in this world is…slightly stupid?

Arc 4. Yan is Justice
Chapter 37

Qing Yun’s arrogance was even more appealing to them now than when he was
so well-behaved! What’s more, Qing Yun’s face was even more dazzling now that
he had undergone a soul transformation.

Seeing that his hard-earned words from earlier had drifted away, Bai Xiyan
couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He turned to look at Qing Yun and said with an
impatient tone, “What else do you want?”

Although they debuted simultaneously, after this period of management, Bai

Xiyan and Qing Yun’s curry has long been different. The company’s resources
have been inclined towards Bai Xiyan, so he doesn’t need to be polite to Qing
Yun.

“Putting the few of them together, it took you a lot of effort, didn’t it?” Qing Yun
asked slowly and deliberately.

Bai Xiyan’s eyes stared, neither admitting nor denying, and said ambiguously,
“Ridiculous, you are with the six of them at the same time, and yet you’re afraid
that they might hit you. This situation, you’ve brought this on yourself.

“Oh? What did I do? Just because I’m pretty? Did I force them to come and bully
me? Did I force them to fight to crawl into my bed?” Qing Yun leaned on the
back of the chair, with sharp words and a pair of upwardly slanting peach
blossom eyes that looked askance at the crowd.

The men all choked.

Qing Yun was right; he wasn’t the one who ran up to them earlier and grabbed
their thighs. They were the ones who took a liking to his appearance and went
over to him. Qing Yun hadn’t agreed until now, but they had done a lot of
coercion and seduction themselves.
If he hadn’t been signed to Sheng Shi Entertainment, they would have used
their own methods to get him.

The six men looked at each other, all seeing the same shame in each other’s
eyes. At once, it became clear that they all played the same trick.

The others didn’t know, but Qing Yun checked the original body’s memory, and
was very clear. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to reject, but he didn’t dare to, as
these men could crush him to death with a single move. He was also a coward,
and could not think of a plan to use one to deal with the other, so he can only
cover up and bear it silently.

When it came from Bai Xiyan’s mouth, it seemed as if Qing Yun was stepping on
six boats himself.

Ignoring the dumb and speechless men, Qing Yun looked at the time and left
with his jacket. He walked past Bai Xiyan, not lowering his voice at all, “Although
this place is hidden, in the end, it is not completely safe.”

“I’ll remember the glass of water you splashed me with today. I like to do things
to the death, and I think it’s worth using myself, an 18-tier little actor, to bring
down the current you.”

Bai Xiyan instantly understood the meaning of Qing Yun’s words. If today’s
incident were released, it would damage both of their images.

If Qing Yun released the video, at most, he would suffer the wrath of the six
men and quit the entertainment industry. But not Bai Xiyan, his carefully-built
image must not be tainted by such a thing.

Bai Xiyan’s eyes flashed a trace of wretchedness. He didn’t expect Qing Yun to
seize this loophole. He must not fail all over again; he can’t bear the thought of
Qing Yun, a person with nothing but looks, climbing on top of him again.
As they watched Qing Yun’s back, the six men present had mixed feelings. Bai
Xiyan’s words woke them up, as if to make them see what was wrong with them,
Qing Yun was just an empty shell, but it was this empty shell that made them
feel restless like a cat was scratching at their hearts.

Qing Yun was in a hurry; he had to attend an event with his agent today. Now
that most of the company’s resources have been inclined to Bai Xiyan, he has to
earn what he wants.

As soon as she saw Qing Yun, wearing a hat and mask, his agent He Lan
couldn’t help but yell at him, “You’re looking for death, what time is it? I’ve had
a hard time finding this opportunity for you, so get in the car!”

When she saw Qing Yun get in the car, He Lan wanted to yell some more, but
once she saw Qing Yun’s perfect face after taking off his hat and mask, she got
stuck as if her neck was pinched. He Lan held her breath in her throat, her face
red, and eventually could only turn her head in anger.

It’s been nearly a year, and He Lan still can’t help but be stunned whenever she
sees Qing Yun’s face. Today, she inexplicably feels that Qing Yun seems to be a
little better looking. Those eyes aimed to make people’s hearts beat faster.

Unfortunately, he’s a guy who plays his good cards with a bad hand.

He Lan couldn’t help but give herself two slaps when she thought of this. When
Bai Xiyan and Qing Yun were the only ones to pick from, she didn’t hesitate to
pick Qing Yun and felt that she had picked up a treasure, but the reality was that
she was given a big slap in the face.

Bai Xiyan is a sweet-talker, whereas Qing Yun is not suitable for the
entertainment industry at all. His character is too soft and unmotivated. If
nobody supports him, he’ll be gone in less than a year in the entertainment
industry.
Thinking like this, He Lan quietly observed the youth in the backseat from the
rearview mirror.

Qing Yun was looking sideways out of the window. His incomparably beautiful
side face was even more alluring in the car’s dim light, not to mention that fair
neck…

He Lan immediately withdrew her eyes and focused on the front. Oh my god, I
can’t look any further. If I look any further, I’ll have an accident!

When they arrived at the place, He Lan immediately dragged Qing Yun inside.
Many producers and directors were at this event, and He Lan wanted to try her
luck with Qing Yun. Last month, Qing Yun only shot one commercial, and this
month he has no offers.

When he saw an acquaintance in the crowd, He Lan’s eyes lit up, and
immediately dragged Qing Yun over, “Director Li! I heard that the protagonist of
that TV series “Seal the Sky” hasn’t been finalized yet…”

Before He Lan finished speaking, Director Li shook his head with a complicated
expression, “He Lan, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. I gave him a chance
last time, and he doesn’t fit the lead role.”

He Lan and Director Li had some friendship, Qing Yun had already auditioned,
but the performance was unsatisfactory.

Qing Yun looked at Director Li and suddenly remembered that the main
character should have been finalized by now. If there were no surprises, it would
be Bai Xiyan, who was taking a step further with this TV series.

Thinking of this, Qing Yun, who had been silent, picked up a glass of champagne
and handed it to Director Li, his voice sounding polite and not flattering:
“Director Li, actually, this time I want to audition for the role of Ling Hua
Xianjun.” [T/N: Immortal Lord Ling Hua ]

Director Li had just regained consciousness from the shock of the beauty
offering wine and sighed: It’s a pity about this good face.

Qing Yun’s words entered his mind and suddenly stirred that nerve of his as a
director. He looked up and down at Qing Yun and even circled around the person.

He was surprised that Qing Yun would mention this role because it merely
appeared a few times, in just a few scenes, and sometimes even only in the
background. Director Li originally planned to cut out all of the character’s
appearances and replace them with just anyone.

This is not to say that Director Li is not serious as a director, but the role was
too difficult to cast, and it might get a crazy backlash from fans of the original
novel.

In the novel, this character was the only immortal, whose looks and
temperament are hard to find on earth. He appears as the main character’s
mentor. The author also hinted that he is responsible for plunging the entire
continent into disaster.

He is so handsome, yet he seems to be hiding the greatest malice in his heart.

In the second part of the story, the painful fate he has been carrying since he
was a child is revealed, earning tears from the readers.

It can be said that looks are part of this role’s charm, but this role’s appeal does
not only come from his appearance.

If the performance is not satisfying, Director Li would rather cut the role than
find someone to fool around.
But now he is hesitant to look at Qing Yun because his looks absolutely match,
but his acting skills…does Qing Yun have such a thing as acting skills?

Director Li is entangled inwardly. This role is not uncomplicated. If he can really

keep this role, it will definitely be an excellent addition to the show. He hesitated,
and he looked up into Qing Yun’s eyes, which were clear to the end. The eyes
were not childlike and flawless but were empty and chilling to the core.

Director Li suddenly recalled the original quote: There were no living creatures in
his eyes, no mountains or rivers, not even his apprentice that he had raised
since he was a child.

“Good!” Director Li made a snap decision, “You will come to the set tomorrow!”

Then, he recalled Qing Yun’s miserable acting skills and added a hard line:
“…after the audition, we’ll decide.”

He Lan, who didn’t expect Qing Yun to open his own mouth, was shocked until
now. She looked at Qing Yun, standing beside her with no cowardice on his face,
and she made a guess in her heart that made her ecstatic. This kid couldn’t be
enlightened, right?

If that’s the case, then her miserable days will come to an end!

Don’t look at it as just a small role; this was the first time Qing Yun had fought
for only by himself, so no matter how small the part was, to He Lan, bringing
Qing Yun to this event was a success.

Thinking of this, He Lan simply let go and let Qing Yun wander around the scene
by himself, only instructing him to call her if anything was wrong.
But this body’s appearance was too inviting, which annoyed Qing Yun to no end.
He dodged the frenzied bees and butterflies that stuck up to him. He walked into
the bathroom, frowning, and washed his hands. The smell of perfume on his
body made him very annoyed.

As soon as Qing Yun stepped out of the bathroom, he was hit by a person
stumbling into him.

He wanted to push the person away, but Qing Yun smelled a familiar scent in an
instant, and the original arm that was pushing was changed to an embrace. Qing
Yun’s heart swelled with a secret joy; he did not expect to meet him so soon this
time.

However, before this joy was noticed by Qing Yun himself, he was pushed away.
The man was more than 1.9 meters tall, with strong muscles under his suit, so
the force was so heavy that Qing Yun crashed into the wall, and his shoulder
blades immediately hurt.

“Go away!” The harsh cry came without hesitation.

Yo? What’s going on?

Qing Yun looked towards the man who had just bumped into him and noticed
that something was wrong. No wonder Qing Yun was able to recognize the man.
Now, the man’s suit trousers bulged with a big lump, and his face was even
more flushed.

He sighed inwardly and softened for a moment, but Qing Yun didn’t expect this
man to be caught in a trick.

He walked over and stretched out his cold hands to caress the man’s cheeks,
softly reassuring, “Why are you so careless? Are you okay? I’ll find you a room…”
The coolness on his cheeks visibly quieted the man a bit, and he narrowed his
narrowed black eyes, clearly trying to get a better look at the person in front of
him. Although he didn’t look worried, he still obeyed his heart’s most secret
desire and tightly gripped the youth’s arm in front of him.

While Qing Yun was looking around to see if there was an empty room, a figure
appeared from the elevator.

As soon as that person appeared, he walked towards Qing Yun and called out,
“Mr. Ning, are you okay?”

Qing Yun looked over and frowned. The person who came was Bai Xiyan.
Chapter 38

Bai Xiyan was shocked to see Qing Yun in front of him when he approached. He
frowned and looked at Qing Yun, obviously confused as to why he was here. This
was different from his previous life’s direction.

Qing Yun looked at Bai Xiyan, who was restrained from speaking and then at the
man in front of him who was obviously drugged. He knew the man’s identity
almost instantly; at the same time, Qing Yun’s eyes slowly turned cold.

Ning Qianyuan, the CEO of ShengShi Entertainment, was a former movie star
who has already retired.

In the last life, a desperate young star actually had the intention of drugging
Ning Qianyuan. No one had thought that someone would have the guts to do it!
And Ning Qianyuan was so unexpectedly caught.

But the little star’s wish to climb up the high branch was not fulfilled; not only
did he not sleep with Ning Qianyuan, but he was also made to suffer until he
couldn’t even beg for his life.

In this life, Bai Xiyan followed this memory and met Ning Qianyuan, who has
been poisoned with a drug.

Go along the way?

Bai Xiyan wasn’t that stupid. From Ning Qianyuan’s thunderous actions in the
last world, it wasn’t hard for him to see how much this man hated such tactics,
so Bai Xiyan didn’t dare to gamble.

All he did was call Ning Qianyuan’s assistant so that Ning Qianyuan could be
picked up early. Although he didn’t actually do anything, but in Ning Qianyuan
and his assistant’s hearts, Bai Xiyan had helped him.
Ning Qianyuan immediately had a good impression of Bai Xiyan, who didn’t take
advantage of him and helped him out.

This was just the beginning. As time goes by, Ning Qianyuan couldn’t help but
be impressed by Bai Xiyan, who was hardworking and motivated. He
thoughtfully supported him, so Sheng Shi’s resources became even more
inclined towards Bai Xiyan.

When Ning Qianyuan was pursuing Bai Xiyan, Bai Xiyan said that he hated these
illicit relationships and stressed that he was only helping Ning Qianyuan, so he
should not pay attention to him out of gratitude.

These words made Ning Qianyuan moved and immediately stated his position
and intentions. In this era where same-sex marriage was already legal, the two
were together with little hindrance.

The help of those six men from before was just an appetizer, and his real golden
finger was now in Qing Yun’s arms.

Qing Yun’s eyes were cold. He looked at Ning Qianyuan, struggling to break
away from his hand. He initially did not have much ill-feeling towards the world’s
protagonist Bai Xiyan, but now it’s different.

Even if he had something he didn’t want, he couldn’t tolerate others getting their
hands on it, let alone right now when it was still pleasing to him.

Bai Xiyan suddenly sneered and looked at Qing Yun with disdain. “Don’t say I
didn’t warn you. Mr. Ning’s bed isn’t that climbable, be careful of falling down
and shattering into pieces.”

Qing Yun was about to turn around and leave, but Bai Xiyan’s words stopped
him in his tracks.
“Oh? Really?” The toes that were initially turned outward were taken back by
Qing Yun. His black eyes looked fixedly at Bai Xiyan, with a tangle of emotions in
his eyes, a moment of overwhelming tyranny and extreme calm.

Suddenly, Qing Yun once again reached out to hold Ning Qianyuan’s face, raising
his head towards the person and kissed him. The first time he experienced this
beautiful scent, he couldn’t help but become entangled. His senses were gone,
leaving only his hidden subconscious dominating his body.

He felt the breath of the person in his arms was unusually sweet. For him, it was
like a drug that he could not stop. At the same time, he also felt a sense of
happiness lost and found. A joy that came suddenly and without reason, but
drove Ning Qianyuan to almost swallow the youth in his arms.

Qing Yun’s provocative actions made Bai Xiyan look ugly for a moment. He even
wondered, with Qing Yun’s looks, maybe Ning Qianyuan just accepted him?

No, he wouldn’t. Ning Qianyuan’s character was extremely domineering and

strong, and because of his movie emperor origin, he hated this kind of dirty
business. He couldn’t stand the schemes of others at all. Qing Yun would suffer
like this, and the consequences would probably be the same as that little star
from his previous life.

Thinking of this, Bai Xiyan suddenly gave up on calling Ning Qianyuan’s assistant.
Instead of interrupting the two, letting them do the whole scene would make
Ning Qianyuan’s anger more intense, wouldn’t it?

Bai Xiyan’s eyes stained with a grim smile, and he turned sharply to leave the
floor. He would have plenty of chances to hitch a ride on Ning Qiangyuan’s big
boat later. Still, after the afternoon’s events, he was now more interested in
trampling Qing Yun into the dust first.
With such an outstanding face, he deserved to be played recklessly for the rest
of his life.

The man in his possession was drugged; he was simply like a wolf and like a
tiger. He was still not listening to the words and was a mess.

Qing Yun took a lot of effort to get the man into the room. To avoid the
embarrassment of a particular world experience to happen again, Qing Yun
carefully locked the door.

The two finally rolled over to the bed. Qing Yun wanted to kick the person away
but misjudged the difference in strength between the two. His modified body
was still unable to shake Ning Qiangyuan in the slightest.

The man sharply took off his suit, caging Qing Yun firmly underneath him.

“You get up off!” Qing Yun angrily kicked him. They just met today, this progress
a little too fast.

Ning Qianyuan did not move but instead lowered his head and bit the young
man’s lips underneath him. Apparently, this time the man couldn’t hear anything.

Qing Yun was hooked by his fire and finally took advantage of the person’s
negligence to overwhelm the person under his body. He straddled the waist of
Ning Qianyuan, and the plot of this world flashed again in his mind, and he
couldn’t help but raise his hand to fan the man’s handsome face.

The man instantly bit down hard on his fingertips.

“Are you a dog?” Qing Yun angrily kicked again and ruthlessly suppressed the
man who pounced and tried to turn over. He possessed and squeezed the other’s
chin, “Today, I want to hear you beg me.”
Ning Qianyuan felt that there was a faerie in his dream, beautiful and unearthly,
and even more seductive, which drove him mad.

He had never had such a soothing and sweet experience before, so much so that
he was still a bit confused when the drug’s effects passed, and he regained
consciousness. He endured the throbbing of his body, which has not yet
subsided, and got up. The young man who had been pressed down by him was
exposed to the dim light, with his sleeping face on its side in a beautiful mess,
precisely as he had just been in his dream.

The skin exposed to the air was imprinted with his marks, but there were two
strange bruises on his shoulder blades.

Seeing these two bruises, Ning Qianyuan immediately woke up. The memories
from last night came flooding back in an instant.

Someone had drugged him? All he remembered was that when he noticed
something was wrong with him, he immediately beat the man up. Wasn’t the
black bruise on the man’s shoulder blade the exact mark of his beating?

Ning Qianyuan’s eyes darkened at this thought as he looked at the young man
lying on the bed. His eyes were burning with rage that seemed to burn two holes
in the young man’s spine.

The two fires of anger suddenly subsided with a snort before the two holes could
be burned out.

The owner of the eyes immediately covered his face with his hands, and his
Adam’s apple slid suspiciously twice.

Damn it! It must be the medicine hasn’t worn off yet!

Ning Qianyuan slowly climbed up and felt in his pants scattered on the bed’s side
to light a cigarette to calm down. His brain was telling him that he had to be
angry, that he had to be furious. Still, at the same time, it was playing him the
little movie he had just made, and every frame and scene was moving Ning
Qianyuan.

These two emotions tangled together, making him look a little worse, and not
long after, he was black as a pot.

The youth on the bed was now moving, clearly waking up. Out of the corner of
Ning Qianyuan’s eyes, he even saw the youth bite his red lips in frustration. This
action instantly made his heart soften into a puddle of water.

Damn it, this medicine not only works on the body but also on the mind?

Ning Qianyuan literally wanted to slap himself twice. He immediately twisted his
head over and could not see the youth, which allowed his heart to slowly
become cold and hard.

Qing Yun sat up from the bed; his face really wasn’t that good because this man
was too wild in bed.

He looked at the man sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to him,
knowing that he had no memory at this moment and might be a little blinded.
But Qing Yun didn’t bother to explain; he didn’t say anything and just stood up.
He picked up the bedside clothes and walked straight into the bathroom.

The man crawled down from his bed and didn’t even say a word to him!

When Qing Yun came out of the bathroom, Ning Qianyuan had been unable to
resist throwing three cigarette butts and finally adjusted his mood.
He laughed sarcastically and said in a cold voice, “It’s because you’ve been
holding such a dirty mind that you’ve been unable to become popular.”

“What did you say?” Qing Yun, who was fixing his jacket by the bed, was
stunned at the words and looked over coldly.

“Heh, did I say something wrong? A thing that only knows how to crawl on a
bed!”

Hearing his cold and hard words with sarcasm echoing in the room, Ning
Qianyuan’s heart suddenly struck. Still, he instantly threw the emotion to the
back of his mind, then threatened, “Do you think that everything will be alright
just because you climbed into my bed? Dream on!”

Qing Yun stared at the man sitting on the edge of the bed. If it weren’t for the
fact that this man exuded a familiar scent all over his body, he would have even
thought that he was mistaken for someone else. In the previous few worlds,
when had this man not been obedient to him, even though Chris had tortured
him in the last world, he was still secretly gentle with him.

How could there ever be such evil words? Three years of pain, seven years of
itch instantly flashed in Qing Yun’s mind, making his eyes very tyrannical. [T/N:
Three years of pain, seven years of itch refers to problems experienced in
modern marraiges]

Ning Qianyuan seems to feel that his atmosphere is not enough, so he added a
sentence: “Mess with me, and beware of breaking your bones.”

The words instantly poked Qing Yun, and he immediately recalled the plot of this
world that he had thrown into the back of his mind.

Oh, it was worthy of the modern entertainment circle love very much. Only envy
the mandarin ducks but not the immortals, there was really a tacit
understanding ah. [T/N: The meaning is just to be envious of being able to join
hands together like mandarin ducks and stay together for life. As long as you
can do this, even if you can be immortal, you don’t need to. ]

“Bang!”

Qing Yun finally couldn’t stand it any longer and lifted his long legs to kick the
man, whose back was to him, to the ground, while slamming the door out.

Ning Qianyuan was caught off guard by the kick and fell face-first onto the
carpet. He couldn’t help but curse a swear word. He was naked, and when the
body was turned over, and a particular part that had been hidden for a long time
was finally exposed to the light. However, Ning Qianyuan had no time to care
about this and subconsciously searched for the youth’s figure.

Aside from a muddy sheet and the blood seeping bite marks on his shoulder,
there was no trace of the youth left behind at all. He didn’t even know the
youth’s name.

Ning Qianyuan’s face immediately turned gloomy, and he threw a pillow with
unbearable patience: Damn it! I haven’t finished speaking yet, okay?

The previous words were just laying the groundwork, just laying the groundwork!

Looking at the empty room, Ning Qianyuan was somehow aggrieved.

He ran away after sleeping with him?

Chapter 39

By the time Qing Yun left, it was close to dawn. He opened his phone and found
that He Lan had sent him dozens of text messages.

He thought about it and gave He Lan a call.

It didn’t take long for He Lan to drive to pick him up. As soon as she saw Qing
Yun, He Lan’s entire body was startled. These slightly swollen lips, neck bruises,
and teeth marks all show what happened to the youth last night.

He Lan suddenly felt a breath blocked in her heart. Mother, which pig took the
cabbage she has been protecting for so long?

But after seeing Qing Yun’s calm expression, she eventually didn’t say anything
and just greeted him in the car.

Throwing a tube of concealer into the back seat, He Lan sighed, “Get it right,
there’s still an audition today.”

“Mm.” Qing Yun picked up the tube of concealer, but it didn’t work. He quietly
operated the power of his soul, and by the time he rushed to the set in a few
hours, the marks should have almost faded away.

Qing Yun wasn’t in a good mood. Still, he instantly tossed Ning Qianyuan to the
back of his mind. Instead, he looked over the script on the side, mulling over the
role of the Ling Hua Xianjun properly.

He had taken the initiative to say that he wanted to audition for Ling Hua
Xianjun. Qing Yun’s acting skills were not that good; he never deliberately
disguised himself as someone else. His acting skills might even be worse than
the original. But even so, Qing Yun was confident that he could play the role well.
Ling Hua Xianjun was very similar to that of Qing Yun, who was miserable in his
early years and played by fate. He worked hard for a goal for thousands of years,
but in the end, his efforts were in vain. Qing Yun knew how twisted the
character’s psychology would be in the end.

After three or four hours of squinting in the car, Qing Yun had already arrived at
the set when he opened his eyes.

As soon as he entered the set, he attracted the attention of the group of people.
There was no blame on anything else, only that Qing Yun’s face was so eye-
catching that people couldn’t turn their eyes away once they saw it.

There were even a few gasps of alarm, and the two field attendants who were
holding something bumped into each other as they looked at Qing Yun.

“Excuse me! Sorry!” They bumped into each other but ended up forgetting about
each other. Instead, they apologized to Qing Yun. The two of them were not new,
they were used to the handsome men and women in the entertainment industry,
but it was the first time that they were surprised by someone’s looks to this
extent.

Qing Yun nodded his head while walking past the two.

Not only did the people around them not find this person rude, but they felt that
it was only reasonable for someone with such looks to have such an arrogant
personality.

Some whispering voices rang out behind Qing Yun.

“Who is this person? This face looks…tsk tsk, there’s no justice if you’re not
popular in the circle, right?”
“It should be…Qing Yun?” One clearly recognized Qing Yun but was unsure as he
spoke, “He came over here to audition before, you’ve seen him before, haven’t
you?”

“What? Was that Qing Yun? Are you kidding me? Why didn’t he look this good
the last time I looked?”

“This plastic surgery can’t be done in a few days, can it?”

“It’s not plastic surgery. You can see his features and face shape haven’t
changed, but it’s just stunning, especially when that look is directed at me. My
bones are almost crisped…Hey, what are you doing?”

“Shh, let me steal a picture of such a gorgeous face!”

However, He Jie, who walked in the back, raised her hand to confiscate that
person’s cell phone. She sharply deleted the photo before throwing the phone
back. She condescendingly looked at the prop master in front of her: “In the
circle, what rules do you not understand?”

Director Li had just finished shooting a scene and heard the commotion behind
him. He turned around and saw that it was Qing Yun; his face immediately
stiffened. To be honest, he promised yesterday without hesitation, but the
evening back home, he had all kinds of regret. After all, there was still Qing
Yun’s vase reputation; at that time, how did he agree to it?

But thinking of Qing Yun’s momentarily chilling gaze, there was something
hidden in Director Li’s heart that he was expecting.

“You’re quite early.” Director Li sized him up and didn’t go back on his word,
“Get ready for the audition later.”
As soon as he waved his hand for Qing Yun to leave, a girl with dark glasses
came over. Once she saw Qing Yun’s face, she couldn’t take her eyes off him.

She reached out, tugged on Director Li, and asked, “Which role is he auditioning
for?”

This person was the writer of the Seal the Sky. She wasn’t the only writer, but
she was the one who had the best relationship with the original author.

“It’s Ling Hua Xianjun, he’ll be auditioning later, and you should also come over.”
Director Li instructed.

As soon as she heard Ling Hua Xianjun, this girl immediately covered her mouth
in alarm. Then, she slowly circled around Qing Yun. In the end, she pushed Qing
Yun towards the changing room: “You first change your costume, bring a wig.
Go and change. After that, come to the audition!”

With this look, with this temperament, if you put on a costume, you’ll be
immortal!

Changing into a white flowing wide-sleeved robe and putting on a knee-length

wig, Qing Yun lowered his head and slowly looked at himself in the mirror, his
eyes flashing strangely.

It had been quite some time since he had dressed like this, but changing into
this clothing style again didn’t cause Qing Yun any discomfort.

Qing Yun’s eyes slowly changed, and the influence brought to him by the
previous few worlds seemed to slowly peel away from his body. He became cold
and arrogant again, and with that came the hint of feebleness that came from
years of lingering illness.
This hint of feebleness and the powerful air he was releasing closely blended
together, gradually forming a different temperament.

On the one hand, it caused the beast in one’s heart to stir, while on the other
hand, it made one tremble with fear.

The make-up artist who had just put on Qing Yun’s wig was now standing by the
side, unable to help but feel a little weak in the legs. He felt as if he had
unleashed a remarkable soul. He hesitated for a long time, his eyes shivered,
but did not dare to draw on the face of Qing Yun.

The make-up artist forced a smile, and his voice couldn’t help but take on a little
flattery as he spoke, “You see…there’s no need for make-up, right?”

He felt that this would ruin the face.

“Hmm.” Qing Yun nodded his head, got up, and dragged his trailing robe out of
the room. The clothes were heavy, but they couldn’t trip Qing Yun’s feet in the
slightest, as if he had been used to it for thousands of years.

The cold sound of the interlocking rings and pendants made his ears red. When
Qing Yun walked out, the hidden fear in the make-up artist’s heart finally faded
but instead rose a kind of excitement that made his heart pound.

He covered his face with a flushed red and screamed at the top of his voice:
“Mother, worthy of being Ling Hua Xianjun, this face ahhh! To think that I could
get so close to this face, I could die without regrets! Death under the peony
flower and become a ghost ah ah!” [ T/N: Peony usually refers to a beautiful
woman, someone who attracts a lot of people’s attention. It would be honorable
to die under such a beautiful flower and even be a ghost.]

As soon as Qing Yun walked out, it calmed everyone down.

The people who were moving things, tinkering with props, or other crew actors,
all forgot what they were doing and turned to look at Qing Yun. Even Director Li,
who was yelling at the top of his voice, was stunned. His mouth wide open to
reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth, and when his eyes turned around, it stuck on
Qing Yun.

Qing Yun’s cold gaze slowly swept around. These people felt a sting in their eyes
and could not help but lower their heads.

Awakened by this glance from Qing Yun, Director Li raised his finger to point in a
direction, unable to even speak properly, “That that, that way!”

Afterward, he felt terrible again, standing up and pulling the already petrified
screenwriter beside him to lead Qing Yun, walking towards the audition room.

Qing Yun followed and turned around, his wide cuffs cutting a fluttering trail.

Everyone watched quietly as Qing Yun slowly walked through the entire set, and
his footsteps seemed a little unreal. The whole person did not look like walking
in a messy set, but rather like standing on the top of the highest mountain,
lonely and untamed, looking down on the insects at the bottom of the mountain.

Walking into the audition room, several assistant directors and producers were
already waiting there. Seeing Qing Yun entering the door, their reaction was
simply even worse than those outside the door.

Director Li went to his own seat and sat down. He finally calmed down a bit on
the way. Although the impact that Qing Yun brought him remained in his heart,
he was now looking at him with the eyes of a director.

Qing Yun’s performance was truly beyond expectation. Last night, the blank look
in Qing Yun’s eyes only gave Director Li an inner shock. Today, when he
appeared in this costume, he brought out the “Ling Hua Xianjun” from the play.
It was only then that Director Li truly felt what kind of existence the novel’s Ling
Hua Xianjun really was. He was unforgettable for anyone who had seen him and
made people unable to resist pursuing him and made them fearful. But the
bitterness and reluctance hidden behind this powerful Xianjun made one’s heart
ache.

“You…” said Director Li with a light cough, before continuing, “You’ve played
your part very well, and I’m sure the few of you here agree with me.”

As soon as that was said, several people in the room nodded, and the
screenwriter, whose head had just nodded almost like a chicken pecking rice.

“Now that you’ve looked the part, I believe no one can play it better than you,
but…” Director Li paused, causing Qing Yun to glance indifferently at him.
Director Li took a breath of cold air and said, “But I still want to let you audition
for a part, not on the script, but in the original. You’ve read the original, right?”

After asking, Director Li felt regret. How could Qing Yun act to this extent and
not have read the original?

Hearing Director Li’s words, Qing Yun frowned, he had indeed seen the original,
but the plot that Director Li had chosen put Qing Yun in an unpleasant mood.

This was where Ling Hua Xianjun truly transformed from a continent’s guardian
to a destroyer. Although the change of heart was huge, the lines were just a few
short words. It was a very challenging scene, but Qing Yun knew he could act it
well.

He only needed to present his true side in its entirety because…there was too
much overlap between the encounters of Ling Hua Xianjun and Qing Yun.
He desperately wanted to resurrect his dead clan, going so far as to become the
continent’s guardian and slave for ten thousand years. Only to find out in the
end that it was just a lie, that everything he did was in vain, that the world
would not allow his clan to exist. So Ling Hua was furious and violent. After
being rejected by the world, he chose destruction as his heart was broken.

Thinking back to this part of the book, Qing Yun’s eyes flickered, and tyranny
run through these clear eyes. He instantly recovered the restrained anger and
sorrow that he had felt when he knew that he had been rejected and deceived
by the entire world.

Qing Yun and Ling Hua, who had been betrayed by the world they were born and
raised in, were now fused.

Director Li’s eyes immediately became bright. He stared at Qing Yun instantly,
his body sitting taut and leaning forward as he looked closely.

The cold wind from outside the window blew in, lifting Qing Yun’s long,
disheveled hair and blowing a chilling and sad atmosphere to every corner of the
room.

In the center of sorrow, the young man looked down at his palm as if he saw
everything he possessed slowly drain from his hand, drop by drop, leaving it
clean.

Then, he dropped his hand, allowing the wide-sleeved robe to cover the palm
that seemed to be dripping with blood. Qing Yun slowly tilted his head up,
revealing his slender and fragile neck. The expression on his handsome face was
so beautiful that people didn’t dare to look directly at him, only to hear him
softly murmur, “Then…destroy it…”

After saying this, the violence and sorrow in his eyes dissipated without a trace.
The pair of eyes seemed to have become a device that could only see; there was
nothing in them.
But everyone who saw these eyes understood that there was a desire for
destruction hidden here.

If I can’t have it, no one can. That’s how Qing Yun’s revenge will be taken, even
if it means crushing the body and soul to pieces.

“Pa” Someone was too emotional; their trembling hand accidentally whisked the
cup to the ground. The sound immediately interrupted the previous sad
heartache and fear atmosphere.

Qing Yun instantly came out of the state he was just in, and his entire breath
eased up quite a bit, also giving the few people in the room to breathe.

Bai Xiyan had other appointments today, so he didn’t come to the crew until
noon. But he was also considered a popular youngster, so others couldn’t say
anything if he came late. As soon as he arrived at the crew, he noticed
something wrong with the atmosphere today, everyone seemed to be working
on the task at hand as usual, but they were obviously a little distracted, their
eyes empty and their thoughts unclear.

He looked up at the set; no scene was being filmed. Director Li was sitting with a
few writers in a serious discussion and didn’t notice his arrival.

Bai Xiyan’s mouth stiffened, his mind slowly pondering what had happened to
this crew. He had gotten the lead role in this drama a few days ago, and Director
Li was quite impressed with him, so it wasn’t as if he was deliberately treating
him coldly.

Thinking like this, Bai Xiyan raised his hand to stop a make-up artist who
hurriedly walked by, “Brother Lin? What’s going on today? Everyone seems a
little off?”
Upon hearing Bai Xiyan’s question, this make-up artist became visibly excited
and even danced a bit, “Someone is auditioning for Ling Hua Xianjun, that face!
That face oh!”

At the news, Bai Xiyan was stunned but immediately put on a smile and asked,
“Who is the person who came to the audition? Maybe I know him.”
Chapter 40

“It’s that one called Qing Yun. He’s from Sheng Shi just like you, and he’s so
good looking, you must know him.” After saying this, Brother Lin immediately
twisted his body and walked away. He stretched his hand in the air as if he was
caressing Qing Yun’s face, which was so beautiful that even the heavens were
angry at him.

Hearing Brother Lin’s words, Bai Xiyan’s eyes flashed a dark glint. Was it Qing
Yun?

One night had passed, and Ning Qianyuan had let him go? He didn’t kill him on
the spot?

Bai Xiyan shook his head, impossible. With Ning Qianyuan’s personality, Qing
Yun definitely couldn’t bounce around for a few days. He looked at Brother Lin’s
back and laughed disdainfully. Qing Yun came to audition for Ling Hua Xianjun?

It was probably just relying on that face to coax Brother Lin’s group of face-
controlled makeup artists.

In his previous life, the protagonist of the drama “Seal the Sky” was Qing Yun,
who not only had face, but also a much better reputation than now. At that time,
Qing Yun also wanted to try out for Ling Hua Xianjun, but he was still scolded by
Director Li.

That role had many fans, and it wasn’t something that could be acted by face
alone. In the end, the part was cut out of the show.

Now that he probably couldn’t escape this fate, Bai Xiyan grinned and looked at
the directors and screenwriters gathered with serious faces. Seemingly echoing
his thoughts, one of the screenwriters squatting next to Director Li suddenly
stood up and shouted, “I want to change the script!”
The smile on Bai Xiyan’s lips became even more profound as he strode over to
say hello. But then, he heard the writer yell, “With that face, auntie will have to
add him to the lead!”

The smile on Bai Xiyan’s lips froze.

What do you mean? Did Qing Yun audition? Got the role of that Ling Hua Xianjun?

Why? Because he has a beautiful face?

Qing Yun changed his costume and took off his wig. The previously frightening
coldness and extreme arrogance slowly faded away, becoming less aggressive.

He wouldn’t stay in the state of memory for too long. After all, that was just a
dying rebellion of a trapped beast. Qing Yun had already found his way and even
got an unexpected surprise on that road, so Qing Yun’s mentality was far
different from back then.

But his wild and extreme nature had never changed.

While Qing Yun finished changing and fixed his hair in the mirror, the door was
opened from the outside, and Bai Xiyan walked in.

When they looked at each other, there was no surprise in either of their eyes.

Looking at Qing Yun’s increasingly perfect face, Bai Xiyan’s eyes flashed with a
trace of jealousy that could not be clearly seen.

Having torn their faces long ago, Bai Xiyan and Qing Yun no longer had to fake a
greeting, and they passed each other without even nodding their heads.
The moment Qing Yun was about to go out, he heard Bai Xiyan’s voice with
mockery and malice, “It feels pretty easy in your heart to depend on that face,
doesn’t it?”

Qing Yun smiled, utterly unfazed by Bai Xiyan’s mockery. He caressed his
smooth face, echoing, “There’s nothing I can do. I do look good.”

Bai Xiyan choked at his words, and his face instantly turned ugly.

“Still, the face is not my greatest source of reliance, but it is a thorn in your
heart.” Qing Yun tilted his head sideways, and his calm eyes instantly made the
jealousy and hidden fear in Bai Xiyan’s heart clear.

Looking at the back of Qing Yun’s departure, Bai Xiyan endured but could not
resist hitting the phone hard to the ground.

A thing that only has a face mocks him like this?

In his previous life, he was crushed to death by Qing Yun. Even if he was reborn,
Bai Xiyan still didn’t want to see Qing Yun better because Qing Yun’s scenery
always made him think of his own hardship.

After slowly calming down, Bai Xiyan picked up the phone with the broken
screen on the ground. He caressed the phone with an unpredictable look: “Let
me see what you have to rely on besides your face.”

–
Li Qing took the document and walked towards the president’s office. He just
lifted his hand to knock on the door when he saw Ning Qianyuan’s assistant walk
out with a scared expression.

“What? Lost his temper again?” Li Qing asked in a low voice.

The assistant shrugged helplessly at him: “You know, after what happened the
other day, it’s only strange that the boss would be in a good mood.”

Hearing that, Li Qing sighed. He looked at the document in his hands and felt a
little pain in his brain. In the end, he patted the assistant’s shoulder, took a deep
breath, and walked in.

It’s been more than five years since Ning Qianyuan has retired. Everyone didn’t
understand why he chose to retire when his career was at its peak. Some even
thought he had suffered some major blow in his life or was disappointed in the
entertainment industry or something. Anyway, all kinds of speculations are flying
around.

But as Ning Qianyuan’s agent since his debut, Li Qing knew that there was no
bullshit reason. It’s purely because the movie emperor himself is headstrong and
put down his choice to quit.

Previously, Ning Qianyuan has always been the image of a cold male god in the
circle. Li Qing originally wanted him to take a more friendly route, but…after
deeply understanding Ning Qianyuan’s personality, Li Qing immediately gave up
the idea.

It was better to be cold than to let the fans know that their beloved idol was a
bear child in the late stages of middle-aged illness.

Thinking back to the days when he was in deep water five years ago, Li Qing
couldn’t help but rub his temples. Then, he braced himself to face the
exceptionally agitated former movie star and the current President of Sheng Shi.
He knew that Ning Qianyuan was an actor, so he was extremely disgusted with
certain ploys in the entertainment industry. Now that he was set up over his
head, wouldn’t he blow up? Li Qing was a little confused as to how Ning
Qianyuan could let the person who climbed his bed leave alive.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Qing took a business-like attitude and said in
a flat tone. “The matter you encountered at the exchange three days ago has
been investigated clearly…”

“Get out!”

Before Li Qing could finish his report, Ning Qianyuan interrupted him with a cold
and hard look, as if he was hiding great anger in his heart. However, behind his
ears, a faint redness arose.

Gripping the pen in his hand, Ning Qianyuan lowered his head and pretended to
concentrate on the document. His voice was indifferent as he said, “Don’t
mention this matter to me again in the future.”

Li Qing choked, but then, his voice became relaxed, “Oh, but you said you’d let
me look it up. I checked it out and put it here for you to see for yourself.”

“Throw it away.” Ning Qianyuan’s eyes were extremely restrained as he looked

around at the information in Li Qing’s hands. But, he coldly refused as if trying
to hide some of his own thoughts.

Was this matter uncovered? Li Qing was stunned, then filled with a sense of
relief that he wouldn’t have to step on any mines in the future. He shrugged his
shoulders and turned around to go out, casually putting the papers into the
paper shredder next to him.

As he watched the papers turn into tiny pieces of paper, Ning Qianyuan’s eyes
glazed over, and his entire body stiffened slightly.
When Li Qing left, and the office door was closed tightly, Ning Qianyuan
immediately bounced up from his office chair. He took two steps to the shredder,
reached out to retrieve the ball of paper, wanting to cry.

Just throw it away! Why did you put it in the shredder!

After picking at it for a while, he couldn’t see a clue. Ning Qianyuan recalled
again the kick that someone had given him with great force earlier. With a cold
face, he threw the shredded paper down and strode back to his office chair to sit
down.

You slept with me, and you’re still so arrogant? Well, it’s just a bed-climbing
thing, right?

Ning Qianyuan’s face was gloomy as if he wanted to pull out the person who had
offended him into pieces. Still, the search history on the computer screen
revealed the stupidity of his heart.

What will I do when I have spring dreams every night, and I’m alone in them?

I’ve been drugged, and the medication never works. Should I go to the hospital?

Answer: Don’t wimp out, just do it!

Qing Yun smoothly entered the “Seal the Sky” cast. The first time he saw Qing
Yun’s performance, Director Li had a vague idea to add scenes to the role of Ling
Hua Xianjun. Otherwise, he would not let him audition for the plot of the original.
Now that Qing Yun is on board, Director Li is not afraid of ruining the role of Ling
Hua Xianjun.
After all, Ling Hua Xianjun has a huge fan base. If this character can be perfectly
presented, it will definitely elevate the TV series “Seal the Sky” to a higher level.

However, before the airing of “Seal the Sky”, Director Li inexplicably carried the
reputation of ruining the original work.

The news of Qing Yun’s appearance as Ling Hua Xianjun was released in advance.

Qing Yun has a reputation for being a vase. He’s done two TV dramas, but the
results weren’t very good, so some of his fans have said he’s better off not
moving and not talking.

Coupled with Bai Xiyan’s efforts, Qing Yun’s reputation is naturally not good.

As soon as the news of Qing Yun’s appearance as Ling Hua Xianjun broke out, a
wave of black fans came under his personal page, mocking him for not
controlling himself and ruining the role with his face again.

But the situation wasn’t the most terrifying yet, as most of the original fans
hadn’t arrived on the battlefield yet. When they do, it would be a real foul storm.

Upon first hearing the news, Director Li was furious, as it was obviously
someone from the crew who leaked the rumors. But he’s obviously just doing it
for the show because although it’s ugly, it also obviously added attention to the
show.

He was just a little sorry for the now blackened Qing Yun. Still, Director Li
believed that when the makeup photos were released, and the drama aired,
Qing Yun’s fans would definitely rise.
“Hey, I don’t know who put out the news, but Director Li won’t tear him apart if
he knows.” An assistant director, who was familiar with Bai Xiyan, sat next to
him and chattered.

“This crew is following Director Li’s old man, and with that one unaware of his
rules, I’m afraid that some of the newcomers are more anxious.” Bai Xiyan
looked at the script and used a pen to mark something. He looked serious at the
end, but the words in his mouth were clearly directed towards something.

The entertainment industry is full of shrewd people, and that assistant director
could hear the meaning of Bai Xiyan’s words. He subconsciously looked towards
Qing Yun but found that the person was nestled in a chair with his eyes closed,
as if completely unaffected by the online storm.

These days, Qing Yun’s aura was much more restrained. The Ling Hua Xianjun
he played still carried that intimidating but not frightening presence but instead
acted more deeply in some other ways.

This change made Director Li even more pleasantly surprised. He couldn’t help
but reflect on whether or not he had been prejudiced against Qing Yun and had
missed out on such a good seedling.

Even so, the people who witnessed the audition process at the beginning still
had an unspoken awe in their hearts, which made them always wear a certain
respect when facing Qing Yun.

Just like this assistant director, who now waved his hand towards Bai Xiyan and
said, “Qing Yun is a very spiritual person, I don’t see how he can do such a silly
thing.”

After saying that, he moved out of the way and didn’t communicate with Bai
Xiyan anymore.
Bai Xiyan’s face was gloomy for a moment, and he looked at Qing Yun without a
trace. To be honest, he was really surprised in recent days. He didn’t expect
Qing Yun to act out the contradictions that the Ling Hua Xianjun had.

Sometimes when he was in a scene with Qing Yun, he couldn’t help but be
brought into the scene, and he really had a kind of respect and fear for Qing Yun
as a master and disciple.

This feeling of being suppressed made Bai Xiyan very unhappy, but what
annoyed him even more now was the online storm he had created.

The incident was fermenting, but it could no longer be stopped. Some of the
original fans had already flooded into Qing Yun’s personal page.

Bai Xiyan felt a little bad in his heart. Will this storm instead give Qing Yun heat?
Chapter 41

That very night, a large group of battle-ready fans of the original “Seal the Sky”
were finally in place.

They clicked open Qing Yun’s Weibo to see, which has only a handful of photos
of attending events. This actor does look pretty good, but obviously, the sense
of the camera is extremely poor. Not only talking about acting, even when
attending a variety show, he also looks dumb and wooden.

Although this kind of dumb with this beautiful face, strangely let people feel a
little cute. But this kind of cute obviously cannot satisfy the fans of Ling Hua
Xianjun.

Their Xianjun is not only handsome but also evil and powerful, not at all this kind
of cute and adorable, okay?

What they saw was very disappointing to the original fans who came here on the
wind. They left comments under Qing Yun’s Weibo and the official blog of the
“Seal the Sky” crew, hoping that they could face up to the character of Ling Hua
Xianjun, who was definitely the soul of the entire book.

If he couldn’t play the character well, it would be better to cut him off than insult
him!

The more sensible fans of the original were just venting their surprise and, in
passing, said goodbye to the TV show.

But the navy’s bouncing around has increased the contradiction. The water army
that initially attacked Qing Yun’s personal page for his empty looks and lack of
acting skills has been replaced with the original fans who flocked to the site.

On Qing Yun’s Weibo account, a group of “die-hard fans” have appeared out of
nowhere. They confronted the original fans, praising Qing Yun’s acting skills and
expressing their belief in the crew’s choice. Some even attacked the character
Ling Hua Xianjun.

The original fans, who were just disappointed, are now furious.

The anger made them ignore the truth. Qing Yun’s Weibo only has a pitiful few
hundred thousand followers. They were almost all zombie fans, so where did
they get the power to fight against them.

“Looks are one of the charms of Xianjun, but there’s more to Xianjun than
appearance.”

“The actor’s face is good, but it doesn’t surprise me, the beauty is too stiff.”

To prove Qing Yun’s bad acting skills, these original fans organized themselves
to search for Qing Yun’s few works. They were really shocked by this search.
Qing Yun was not a good actor, so he went the route of being a vase.

This character is absolutely at odds with Ling Hua Xianjun. The contrast between
the two is so great that fans of the original novel felt a sense of anger that Ling
Hua Xianjun had been insulted. This anger even extended to the crew and the
original author.

How could you let such a person play the role of their powerful and untamed
Ling Hua Xianjun?

The original fans edited down some of Qing Yun’s appearances, listing them one
by one, and eventually came to one conclusion.

This face is only suitable for acting as an inflatable doll.

Some people even took screenshots of the advertisements that Qing Yun had
acted in and made them into expression packs, mocking them in various ways.

The fans of the original spontaneously united to top the two topics #Three
Dimensions Without Ling Hua #Qing Yun Get Out of the “Seal the Sky” cast.

“Ling Hua has always been a royal figure in my heart, can that soft little actor
act?”

“That actor does have a nice face, but we can’t accept him no matter how good
his face is! Don’t think everyone is looking at faces.”

“Emm, are you guys serious? Do you really think that Qing Yun’s face is pretty?
I’m afraid the reality is different from online.”

Some people even became ultimately into Qing Yun, maliciously speculating
about the way he got the role.

“I’m afraid it’s just a thing that relies on face hhhh.”

“What qualifies an actor who relies on his face to please others to play Ling Hua?
Get out!”

It is not surprising that some people use the words “to please”. After all, those
roles that Qing Yun has played before are really based on the face to attract
people.

He Lan and Director Li have been closely following the development of the event.
When the heat was almost up, He Lan took her cell phone and approached Qing
Yun, who was sleeping soundly. She raised her hand to wake him up.

See the light and die? The face value isn’t great? Not everyone looks at faces?
[T/N: It is mostly used between netizens. It probably means that the reality is
very different from that on the Internet.]

He Lan sneered, it’s time for you to try the shock I get every day!

The navy and original fans who squatted on Qing Yun’s Weibo were surprised to
find that he dared to post in this storm.

They immediately switched to the comments section of this post. Without saying
a word, they mocked it first, and only after the mocking was done did they get in
the mood to see what the person had posted.

Video?

In some curiosity, some people couldn’t control their paws and clicked on the
video.

As soon as the video played, they saw a pair of closed eyes. Suddenly, as the
curled lashes on those eyes flickered, a pair of cold, blank eyes were presented
to them.

These eyes were beautifully shaped, and no one or thing seemed to be able to
stop them. It was such a ruthless thing, but it was all the more reason to want
to go after them, to see what kind of perfect face they were engraved on.

Finally, the camera slowly moved away, and the face they’ve been waiting for is
revealed in its entirety.
No matter whether it was the original fan who was in an agitated mood, waiting
for the pinch, or a passerby who had mistakenly entered, all of them were now
holding their breath and staring quietly at the screen.

Then, the person in the video seemed to see something and sneered. The
slender eyebrow raised, and the original pursed thin lips moved slightly, as he
spat out two words: “to please?”

The voice exited with a strange crispness, but with a vague bite at the end that
easily tickled one’s ears.

The camera then moved away, and people gradually saw his long trailing hair
and the white flowing robes on his body. Even though he was sitting on a
modern chair, it didn’t give him any offense.

Because he has fully attracted their hearts and minds, it couldn’t distract their
attention in the slightest.

Qing Yun’s Weibo has been sent out for nearly five minutes, but there were only
a few mocking comments under the Weibo. The original fans and navy who were
guarding his page suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Finally, someone clicked on the comment button. With their eyes still glued to
the beauty on the screen, they couldn’t control their fingers from typing out a
long string of “Ahhhhh!”

It was like a flood of “Ahhhhh” in the comments section, overshadowing all the
previous mocking comments.

“The screen is dirty. I’ll lick it!”

“No, no, no, I’ve come to please you, I’ve come to please you, don’t go, beauty!”

“Crazy, watching the video end, I feel as if I’ve lost my love.”

Those who were still questioning the value of Qing Yun’s face were all saying
that their faces hurt.

“Don’t tell me you’re not a face dog. You just haven’t met the face that will
make you a dog……”

“My mom asked me why I was licking……oh no, she asked me why the screen
was broken……”

Even those who had started out criticizing Qing Yun’s acting skills had changed
their tone.

“This forehead ornament, this costume, is truly my Ling Hua Xianjun, ah ah, I
will have no regrets in dying if I can meet Ling Hua Xianjun for a moment!”

“With that face, even if his acting skills are terrible, I could eat it!”

It was only at this moment that they truly understood, in the real sense of the
word, what it meant to be bewitched.

After madly venting out their excitement and licking the video a few times, they
calmed down, and a silent embarrassment filled the original fans’ exchange
group. They commented under Qing Yun’s Weibo, completely forgetting to
change their account name. On top of that, they were all scolding Qing Yun
before.

And a few of them were the ones that initially claimed that they didn’t look at
faces, but only at their acting.
Finally, the group began an awkward exchange.

Ling Hua Xianjun Support Group: cough……just this blooming beautiful

face……should not destroy the Xianjun right, hahaha……

Ling Hua Xianjun’s leg pendant: cough cough……just this one makes people’s
legs weak, Queen’s style……should be well acted right……

I love Ling Hua: To assess his acting skills properly……How about we go back
and lick him a few times?

There was a chorus of approval below, and the group instantly quieted down,
going for what was self-evident.

However, it was then that the “Seal the Sky” cast released the cast list and
makeup photos, keeping the heat of the event going and properly shifting the
attention to the cast itself.

The original fans went into a new round of madness. They looked at the makeup
photos, which showed the Ling Yun Xianjun standing, wearing white clothing
with a sword in his hand.

The photo highlights the character’s characteristics and temperament, the kind
of crazy and tyrannical Ling Yun Xianjun mixed with the overbearing loneliness.
Qing Yun’s eyes penetrated through the screen, straight into the hearts of the
audience.

Being watched by these eyes, it was like a spell had been cast on them. They
didn’t dare to move their bodies and felt humble in their hearts.
“Mother, scared the baby to death, this Qing Yun is definitely the reincarnation
of my Ling Hua Xianjun, right?”

“This mixture of arrogant and sickly beauty ahhhhh!”

“Crawling over here after watching the video, just for the face, the quality, I’m a
passerby who wants to go see the original.”

Of course, there were also questions about whether or not Qing Yun had plastic
surgery. Suddenly, a group of people said that they could also be fans of plastic
surgery to this extent.

Because of Bai Xiyan’s manipulation, people were now paying far more attention
to Qing Yun than to him, the popular traffic boy. His fans just popped up in the
comment section and were crushed by Qing Yun’s new face fans and a massive
wave of original fans.

Some of his fans couldn’t help but crawl over to Qing Yun’s page and follow him
when they saw the makeup photo of Ling Hua Xianjun.

It must be said that Bai Xiyan’s efforts have really made Qing Yun famous. In
just one day, his followers increased by millions. But that’s not all; the video in
Qing Yun’s Weibo has been wildly forwarded and reposted to other platforms.

A lot of passersby were dazzled by the beauty and picked up the video along
with it.

Unfortunately, Qing Yun’s previous popularity was so small that many people
didn’t know who the person in the video was. They had to search frantically
everywhere, even creating the hashtag #ShengShi Beauty#.
It must be said that the face value is a real killer. The topic #ShengShi Beauty#
quickly climbed to the second most popular search, the first being a particular
policy that was just introduced.

The “Seal The Sky” crew ruthlessly rubbed off on the heat, yet director Li was
still a bit unsatisfied. If this incident could have erupted a little later, it would
have been more beneficial to the future TV series.

President Ning had recently posted on his Weibo account, so he naturally saw
the second most searched topic.

Curiosity instructed him to click on the video on the topic’s homepage. Still, once
he saw the person in the video, he couldn’t take his eyes off him.

It was obviously just an incomparably pure video, but it made him hear his heart
beat “thump, thump, thump”, and blood surged up, making him blush. Ning
Qianyuan could only stare blankly at the opening and closing of the pink lips on
the screen, allowing the video to replay over and over again.

The vague and fuzzy memories of one night quietly wreaked havoc in Ning
Qianyuan’s brain, burning him into a mess.

Once again, sweeping over the beautifully shaped neck of the person on the
screen and the small and lovely Adam’s apple, Ning Qianyuan could hardly
restrain himself from devouring and biting into it.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the office door. Ning Qianyuan’s hand shook, the
glass of water in his hand slipped off and smashed on his hard crotch.
Chapter 42

As soon as Li Qing came in, he was confronted by the sudden cold wind. He
turned his head and blocked his face with his hand, strangely looking at the pale
Ning Qianyuan: “What’s wrong with you again? Why are the office windows open
so wide?”

“I like it, what’s the matter?” Ning Qianyuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at him
coldly. At the same time, without leaving any traces, he moved his body to hide
the water stains on his pants. The cold wind behind him made the pain and heat
in his lower body recede a little.

Li Qing has gotten used to this kind of “I’m the best in the world” tone of voice.
As usual, he cursed a few words in his heart and then talked to him about
business. “I came because I found that you just gave someone a like on Weibo.
The person in the video you liked just happens to be a newcomer to our
company this year. However, compared to the newcomers in the same period,
he is not very bright. But seeing that you clicked a Like, the marketing
department sent me here to ask if you’re interested in bringing him up and
whether they need to artificially add fuel to the fire?”

“What did you say?” Ning Qianyuan was stunned, his eyes burning as he looked
at Li Qing, “He’s from our company?”

Li Qing was stared at by him so much that he couldn’t help but take a step back.
His attitude towards him was a bit strange. “Yes, he’s from our company. I’ve
already transferred his information to your computer.”

Upon hearing that, Ning Qianyuan immediately pulled up the file sent by Li Qing
and read it carefully, even ignoring the hidden pain in his lower body.

“Well? I’ve read that the guy is not very impressive early on, but he’s very good
looking. He’s a buildable talent. Should we get him a better contract and another
agent along the way?”
To be honest, Li Qing was a bit tempted. After Ning Qianyuan retired, his social
influence was obviously still there. Hence, Li Qing helped him with the relevant
matters while also bringing other artists in hand. However, those artists made Li
Qing feel no sense of challenge, so he wanted to bring up Qing Yun.

He had a hunch that Qing Yun could be popular. In his opinion, Qing Yun was
unknown earlier because he set the wrong route. With such a dazzling and
aggressive appearance as his, he shouldn’t have taken the course of selling cute
and friendly to the people. It would have been easier for people to accept the
persona of a proud beauty like this.

The previous soft and gentle image of his face pulled him down instead.

Of course, all of these were excuses. The reason why Li Qing was grasping at
straws to sign Qing Yun, and even go so far as to court Ning Qianyuan’s side
tactfully, was because……he was a Face Control

[T/N: Face Control is a person who attaches great importance to looks.]

Ning Qianyuan, who had worked with Li Qing for so many years, didn’t
understand this man’s nature. He immediately looked over and asked in a cold
voice, “What do you want to do?”

The hidden threat in his words was not hidden.

“……” Li Qing was speechless, “Can you not say it as if I’m going to sleep with
him?”

Not sure if he was poked by Li Qing’s words, but Ning Qianyuan’s face
immediately went cold. He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Qing fiercely, like a
puppy protecting his food: “You dare try to touch him!”

“……”
Mother, I can’t talk to you, you little bastard.

“So, what exactly did you mean by that like you just gave?” Li Qing decisively
uncovered the subject, but he obviously didn’t give up and turned to sit on the
couch in his office to try to grind it out.

“Tell the department to wait.” Looking down at the information on the computer
again, Ning Qianyuan stood up with a determined smile. Finally, he was able to
find him!

He ignored the chilly water stains on his lower body and moved towards the
lounge, “You call Director Li, I’m going to the set later.

“What? What are you going to do on the set of “Seal the Sky”? Isn’t it scary
when one of the investors suddenly runs over there?” Li Qing glanced at Ning
Qianyuan’s strange posture in surprise.

“‘… I’ll let you handle it.” Inside, Ning Qianyuan was changing his clothes with an
excited face. He proudly grinned; that person actually planned on him, the boss
of the company?

Looks like he’ll have to teach this Qing Yun the correct way to hold a thigh.

After taking a shower, giving himself a good pep talk, and taking a hairdryer to
simply blow his hair, Ning Qianyuan took a look in the mirror before walking out
in satisfaction.

See if I don’t scare you to death later!

Not knowing that Ning Qianyuan had a lot of drama in his heart, Li Qing sat
outside and got bored waiting. He clicked on that ShengShi Beauty’s video again
to watch it, and just when he couldn’t help but lick the screen, two long fingers
clamped down on the phone in his hand and smacked it away.

As soon as Li Qing looked up, he was shocked by Ning Qianyuan’s outfit. “F*ck,
what the hell are you doing today, suddenly wanting to go to the crew and
wearing such a slutty outfit?”

It is indeed slutty. It’s already autumn, but Ning Qianyuan only put on a thin
black t-shirt with an extremely open neckline. The very thin fabric outlined his
beautifully shaped muscles.

The lower body was dressed in dark grey ripped jeans that lined his long,
straight legs.

The hairstyle was also not the previously rigid, slicked-back hair, blowing out a
youthful feel.

This thirty-something man’s ‘sluttiness’ was still as overwhelming as it had been

before he retired.

“I’m leaving work early today. Also, Qing Yun is an artist in our company, and
block clean those messy social engagements around him for me.” Speaking of
which, Ning Qianyuan’s heart was a little unhappy. This little thing secretly
planned to climb into his bed. Seeing that he didn’t take care of him, what if he
moved on to someone else?

No, no, no! Say anything today to get him to my side.

Ning Qianyuan just walked out with hormones all over his body. The two young
girls at the front desk saw it and immediately opened their eyes wide in shock.
Then, they covered their faces with both hands and screamed silently, “Ahhh,
when I came to Sheng Shi to apply for a job, it was so that I could see the face
of His Majesty every day. Looking today, I feel as if our Emperor is back again.”
Since his debut, Ning Qianyuan played most of the Emperor’s roles, saintly,
tyrannical, all sorts of acts, so his fans love to call him the Emperor. Later on, he
became the uncrowned king of the entertainment industry. The title of the
Emperor became more appropriate for Ning Qianyuan.

Maybe it was because Ning Qianyuan’s retirement was so sudden, but for the
past five years, his fans have still been waiting every day for the day when their
Emperor will return.

As a result, Ning Qianyuan’s long-dormant Weibo suddenly gave a like, which

instantly woke up his “beloved consorts”.

“Attention, sisters! Our Emperor has returned, and he even gave a like today.
Go and see if he has turned on someone again!”

“Fuck, it’s really a new lover? Is this star also from Sheng Shi? I remember that
Sheng Shi made a big effort to hold up the one called Bai Xiyan a while ago,
right?”

“His Majesty really gave a little praise ahhh! Oh my god, this Qing Yun’s looks
are too good, this proud little expression is so cute, want……”

“Emmm, am I the only one in crisis? Is this face going to be the main palace
Empress or an Evil Consort?”

Because of this one like, another group of people flooded into Qing Yun’s page.

Unaware of the storm he had caused, Ning Qianyuan drove to the drama set. His
inner happiness was simply about to burst.
What would his reaction be when he sees me? Will it be a very straightforward
surprise, or will it be a rejection as before?

The car was driven by Ning Qianyuan, who was about to fly away as he imagined
that Qing Yun, a little bird, had fallen into his arms.

As soon as Ning Qianyuan stepped into the crew, he caused a commotion of

some magnitude. There were inevitably some of his fans in the crew, screaming
quietly on the spot. A few assistant directors couldn’t help but run over.
Additionally, Ning Qianyuan was the head of Sheng Shi, the biggest investor in
the crew, so how could they not be serious.

“Don’t be nervous.” Ning Qianyuan reservedly waved his hand. He saw Qing Yun,
who was filming, and his eyes behind the sunglasses brightened, “I just came to
take a look.”

After speaking, his steps appeared to be relaxed but were actually eager to go
over.

Even though Qing Yun’s scenes were added, they were still very few and were
almost finished filming by now.

The one scene that was being filmed now was technically the first scene in which
Qing Yun appeared – in the main character’s memories.

The protagonist of “Seal The Sky” is a disciple of Ling Hua Xianjun. He is both
admired and feared by Ling Hua, who is the greatest inspiration in his life and a
shadow that will never leave his heart.

This scene was just a simple image of the protagonist’s memories. It was
essential to show Ling Hua’s floating beauty and the protagonist’s conflicts and
struggles as soon as he appeared in the scene.
Strictly speaking, it’s Bai Xiyan’s acting skills that are more tested as the main
character, not Qing Yun’s. All he has to do is to release his aura and then be
beautiful.

However, after the earlier incident that had gone wrong, Bai Xiyan couldn’t
maintain his acting qualities when playing opposite Qing Yun.

He had NG’d several times and was now suffering from Director Li’s roar, “You
need to perform that kind of admiration! Do you understand what I’m saying?
You’re conflicted, but you don’t know the truth yet. You just have a bad feeling
about it, but you still embrace Ling Hua for now, understand?

After roaring, Director Li also felt a bit tired. He waved his hand towards the
scene, “Take a break first, Qing Yun, you should be exhausted after holding a
teacup for so long, come down and rest.

“Yes, yes, Director, I understand.” Bai Xiyan promised nicely, but his downcast
eyes were getting increasingly dark.

Qing Yun came out and poured a glass of water, and when he turned around, he
saw the starry-eyed man in the crew. His excellent eyesight allowed Qing Yun to
easily make out the man’s features through the gaps in the crowd.

The corner of his mouth instantly bloomed into a smirk.

But Ning Qianyuan, who was surrounded by a crowd asking for autographs, was
full of restlessness. He looked at the fans who surrounded him so tightly and
silently released cold air.

How can he see me when you’re all around me!

Fortunately, the people surrounding Ning Qianyuan were all the crew members.
They scattered away after a while of making a scene.

Ning Qianyuan coughed, silently anticipating Qing Yun’s reaction in his heart. He
thought that when Qing Yun came over to get close to him, he would have to be
reserved, proud, and arrogant. He must never reveal the fact that he had been
thinking about him for the past few days!

Finally, the sound of footsteps slowly approached, and Ning Qianyuan forced
down the curve of his mouth, pretending to look at his phone with indifference.

The person finally reached Ning Qianyuan and called out, “Mr. Ning…….”

Ning Qianyuan felt something was wrong when the voice sounded. Qing Yun’s
voice would not be so excessively gentle. His voice was always clear and crisp.
The way he pronounced the words seemed to have some ancient rhyme, so the
end sound was unusually attractive.

When he looked up, it turned out to be not Qing Yun, but the actor playing
opposite him. Ning Qianyuan’s heart fell down with a clang. He subconsciously
looked towards Qing Yun, only to see this person nestled in the chair. He was
playing with his phone with his eyebrows lowered and simply didn’t give him any
attention at all.

His thin lips were pursed, and only then did Ning Qianyuan restrain himself from
collapsing into an aggrieved curl.

“Mr. Ning, I’ve admired you for a long time. In fact……I’ve always been a fan of
your acting……” Because Ning Qianyuan has always been a high and cold person,
Bai Xiyan unexpectedly did not notice his low mood.

When he saw Ning Qianyuan arrive, Bai Xiyan’s heart was a little bit happy.
What would be Ning Qianyuan’s reaction to seeing Qing Yun on the set? He
suddenly felt that the previous measure of releasing Qing Yun to play Ling Hua
Xianjun was the right one. Throwing him up high was the only way to make him
fall heavier, right?

Ning Qianyuan, who was in an unhappy mood, raised his eyes to look at Bai
Xiyan and said indifferently, “It’s just right for you to put this expression into the
play.”

Upon hearing the words, Bai Xiyan faintly paused, then joyfully said, “Yes, thank
you for pointing it out, Mr. Ning!”

After saying a few more words tactfully, Bai Xiyan left with a sharp smile on his
face. The joy of being instructed by his idol still on his face, as if he hadn’t heard
the sarcasm in Ning Qianyuan’s words.

Without paying any attention to Bai Xiyan’s expression, Ning Qianyuan’s heart
lifted again when he noticed that Qing Yun was carrying a glass of water towards
him.

Ning Qianyuan immediately sat upright, thinking that if Qing Yun gave him this
cup of water, he would be generous enough to forgive him for his previous
rudeness and reluctantly agree to let him stay by his side.

Qing Yun slowly approached, Ning Qianyuan lowered his head and already saw
the corners of his fluttering clothes. The heart in his chest almost jumped to his
throat, and Ning Qianyuan’s ears couldn’t restrain the reddening.

He leaned forward slightly, even thinking about which hand to extend to catch
the water.

However, the moment he was about to extend his hand, Ning Qianyuan saw the
clothes’ white corner graze his toes. Qing Yun just walked past him, as if he was
just passing by a small grass by the roadside……
Ning Qianyuan’s outstretched hand froze. He turned his head and watched as
Qing Yun held a glass of water and slowly squatted down to give it to a stray dog
that ran into the crew……
Chapter 43

“Stupid dog.”

Sensing the color of someone’s face behind him, Qing Yun’s lips quirked up in a
pleasant curve. He looked at the little puppy that was licking water in front of
him and pointedly cursed.

Qing Yun had finished giving water and returned back. Ning Qianyuan was still
stiff-necked, staring at the cheerful puppy that was licking water on the side and
the cup in front of him with a deadly expression that was like a complicated
mess of jealousy and grief.

Seemingly sensing the dangerous sight, the little puppy that was originally
buried in the water cup suddenly raised its head in alarm and then whined as it
chased after Qing Yun’s figure.

Ning Qianyuan’s face became even worse. He looked at the little puppy that
almost rolled towards Qing Yun, gnashing his teeth inside. He felt that the dog’s
cry was both like a show-off and a complaint.

Until the end of the break, Qing Yun did not cast even a single glance at Ning
Qianyuan. He either lowered his head and played with his phone, or looked over
the script, and occasionally even teased the little puppy at his feet.

Ning Qianyuan actually had a feeling of being abandoned.

He hesitated for a while and finally couldn’t help but move his toes to go over,
but then, Director Li spoke up: “Okay, break is over, let’s shoot! It’s still the
same scene just now, Qing Yun, Bai Xiyan in position!”

Ning Qianyuan: “……”

Although disappointed inside, Ning Qianyuan was immediately piqued with
curiosity by Qing Yun, who stood in the middle of the scene.

Qing Yun had a peculiar trait where he never made people feel awkward in his
ancient attire, as his own aura would directly grip one’s mind, making it
impossible for them to pay attention to anything else.

Just as now, he sat on a stool in the green screen, holding a cup of tea in one
hand and looking up into the distance. Such a simple gesture made one feel that
the surrounding scenery must be breathtaking to attract his attention. There
must be pleasant birdsong around him to make him reveal such a moment of
peace.

However, something comparably awkward suddenly stepped in, and it was Bai
Xiyan.

Ning Qianyuan and Director Li’s eyebrows furrowed at the same time. But
Director Li looked at the well-placed emotion in Bai Xiyan’s eyes and hesitated to
call for a cut.

Ning Qianyuan, however, frowned as he approached Director Li and pinpointed

the problem: “There’s something wrong with his position.”

The shot was meant to highlight Ling Hua Xianjun, but Bai Xiyan was blocking it
very subtly by making a stop there. It didn’t seem to block Qing Yun, but it
distracted attention from the person.

Director Li frowned at it and eventually called out for a cut, allowing Bai Xiyan to
do it again.

Bai Xiyan gritted his teeth so hard that his hands had clenched into a fist under
the cover of his wide sleeve robe.
As he took his place again, Bai Xiyan happened to hear the photographer closest
to him mutter, “That’s right, it just ruined the image!”

Bai Xiyan’s mouth almost overflowed with the taste of blood. What do you mean?
He’s ruining the picture by putting his face next to Qing Yun?

After he finished filming this scene, Qing Yun filled in some more scenes. Having
been on fire for the past few days, Qing Yun had also taken some commercials,
and He Lan would be back later to pick him up, so he was in a hurry to remove
his makeup and change clothes.

He entered the changing room, but before Qing Yun had a chance to lock the
door, another person’s scent squeezed in forcefully.

The narrow changing room was instantly covered in hormones that the man was
recklessly releasing. Ning Qianyuan’s face was not good, and he raised his hand
and pressed Qing Yun against the wall. He pasted over and took advantage of
his height to look down at the handsome but arrogant face in front of him.

“Can’t you see that I’m here!”

The man pressed closer, and the heat of his muscles reached Qing Yun through
the thin garment. He spit out words that were even more overbearing and willful,
but buried beneath it was a hidden aggravation.

“So what if you’re here? Go away.” Qing Yun swept him with a contemptuous
glance and raised his hand to push the man away.

“You!” Ning Qianyuan was furious. They had at least slept together for the entire
night!
As soon as he saw Qing Yun’s distant expression, a kind of inexplicable panic
rose in his heart. The next thing he said was, “Heh, earlier you couldn’t wait to
crawl into my bed, but now you’re acting like this, playing hard to get?”

Qing Yun ignored him and neatly took off his costume, seemingly not taking
Ning Qianyuan into account at all.

Ning Qianyuan looked at Qing Yun’s bare skin, which was incomparably bright
and clean. The traces he had left behind a few days ago had long since
disappeared without a trace. Ning Qianyuan felt a little unhappy, his pair of eyes
dark and sunken as he looked at Qing Yun’s back, while his voice was hoarse,
“Didn’t you want to climb on my bed? Okay, I promise you. From now on, you’ll
follow me, and I’ll give you the resources you want.”

As Ning Qianyuan spat out these words, there was some hidden pain in his heart
while, at the same time, he was somewhat at ease. The pain was because he
could only use the method he hated the most to keep the youth, and the peace
of mind was because, no matter what, the youth would be his now.

“What are you talking about?” But Qing Yun, who was dressing, frowned and
looked over. What do you mean? When it was Bai Xiyan’s turn, it was all kinds of
pampering and serious confessions, but when it’s his turn, it’s a package?

“What? Isn’t that what you want?” Ning Qianyuan, who had an arrogant attitude,
was now somehow a bit down, with his head drooping like a lost big dog.

“I refuse.” Qing Yun said. He raised his chin high and sneered, “Just you?”

Saying that, Qing Yun lowered his gaze and swept over Ning Qianyuan’s lower
body with disdain, “A short and quick one?”
“What?” Ning Qianyuan raised his head sharply, with his eyes wide, all of the
composure on his body thrown to the skies. He did not expect Qing Yun to have
this impression of him!

“You’ve got to be kidding me! Though I got drugged a little fast for the first time
that day, I wasn’t short at all, not at all! And I’m very long-lasting after that!”

“Oh? Really? I didn’t even feel it.” Qing Yun coolly swept past him, and the
words that came out of his mouth were enough to shame Ning Qianyuan to
death.

“You!” Ning Qianyuan anxiously held his head and circled around, desperately
trying to find any evidence to prove himself. Suddenly, he raised his head and
quietly looked at Qing Yun, “You’re lying, you were clearly made unconscious by
me.”

At the news, Qing Yun did not have the slightest hint of panic. He was slow to
tidy up the wrinkles on his clothes and said carelessly, “That’s because you were
too fast, so I fell asleep.”

“Sleep, fell asleep ……”

Ning Qianyuan was completely stunned as he looked at Qing Yun, and even a
little self-doubt rose within him.

Brushing aside the almost petrified Ning Qianyuan, Qing Yun calmly walked out.

Just after Ning Qianyuan also left dejected and full of anxiety, the door to the
nearby changing room opened, and Bai Xiyan walked out of it. He looked at the
backs of the two leaving, endured but finally couldn’t resist smashing his fist
against the wall.
He didn’t expect Qing Yun to be treated like this. He actually made Ning
Qianyuan change his ways and stick to him as well.

Bai Xiyan also signed a contract at Sheng Shi. What will he do if Qing Yun hugs
Ning Qianyuan’s thighs, having already torn his face with Qing Yun?

Suddenly, the phone Bai Xiyan held tightly in his hand rang. He looked down and
saw that it was Deng Yunqi’s call.

Bai Xiyan’s gaze slowly became sharp. Then, let Ning Qianyuan see what kind of
person Qing Yun was. He doesn’t believe that Ning Qianyuan would be willing to
share with others.

He answered the phone and lowered his voice, “Hello, Deng Yunqi?”

Fans who had been excited all day because of a Like from Ning Qianyuan were
surprised to find that his Weibo had made another move.

His Majesty had removed that Like.

“What’s wrong, were your hands shaking in the first place?”

“Emmm, a little confused. Wouldn’t you cancel right away if your hands shook?
Why did you wait so long?……”

“There’s a sense that something’s wronghhhh.”

Because of this one canceled Like, Li Qing had to make another trip to Ning
Qianyuan’s house, specifically to ask the guy, who didn’t answer his phone, what
it meant.
However, as soon as he arrived at Ning Qianyuan’s villa, he found that this
person did not enter the house either and was sitting on the doorsteps, smoking.
His dejected appearance still completely failed to take away his previous slutty
appearance.

When he heard some whining, Li Qing looked at the side and saw that a little
puppy, who couldn’t even walk properly, was squatting next to Ning Qianyuan.

He couldn’t help but stand away and ask Ning Qianyuan, who was clearly in a
bad mood: “What’s wrong with you……? Why do you bring back a dog after a trip
to the set?”

Ning Qianyuan glanced coldly at the whining stinky dog. Even if he didn’t have a
chance, he wouldn’t give his rival a chance!

“Cough……Actually, I came to ask you about that Like exactly, about Qing Yun……”

Ning Qianyuan looked up at him and then lowered his head to continue smoking.
He waited for the cigarette to be finished before saying in a deep voice. “Give
him the treatment according to contract A, and the agent doesn’t need to be
changed yet.”

“Contract A?” Li Qing was shocked since contract A is a top-level contract, but he
didn’t refute anything. After all, in his opinion, Qing Yun has the potential, and
Sheng Shi has always been very tolerant of artists with potential.

Qing Yun’s treatment at Sheng Shi had changed, which surprised He Lan, who
had been chattering in Qing Yun’s ear for days.

But Qing Yun himself wasn’t too surprised or flattered. He knew whose
handiwork it was.
But soon, a small matter made He Lan serious. Zhou Ye from Tianyuan
Entertainment, Liu Xi from Hengyuan Real Estate, and three other famous
playboys suddenly made an offer to Qing Yun at the same time.

When He Lan came to see Qing Yun today, her face really didn’t look very good.
She frowned and couldn’t resist asking Qing Yun, “How many of them are even
chasing you?”

These five people, plus one Deng Yunqi, were interested in Qing Yun in the
beginning; He Lan was aware of this.

A lot of entertainment companies are doing pimping business behind the scenes.
He Lan, an agent, knows this kind of thing better than anyone else. Still,
because of the special nature of the president’s identity, Sheng Shi
Entertainment has never been involved in these matters, so He Lan helps Qing
Yun block it as much as she can.

A few days ago, these people subsided a bit. He Lan thought that these playboys
had a new target, but they were now setting their sights on Qing Yun again.

He Lan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as she swept a glance at Qing Yun, who
was wearing casual clothes and nestled on the sofa. He seemed to have a
reserved look in He Lan’s eyes. Isn’t this image of Qing Yun now even more
seductive? There will only be more wild bees and butterflies coming up later.

It was also fortunate that the company had increased the level of protection for
Qing Yun.

“Don’t worry too much about it, the company has already blocked it for you.
Although these five people have some backgrounds, the people that Sheng Shi
wants to keep can still be protected. You just focus on filming.” He Lan handed
Qing Yun a few more scripts, but all of a sudden, she looked at her phone and
frowned, “The president wants to see you. I’ll take you up there.”
Want to see him? Qing Yun raised an eyebrow and sneered under his breath.
Was this because he hadn’t been mocked enough that day?

Speaking of this, Qing Yun was a little upset. He crossed these worlds, but this is
the first time he encountered a situation where that person and the protagonist
developed a relationship as lovers. This can’t help but make Qing Yun feel
betrayed even though he knew in his heart that this was just the original
direction of the world and that the man wasn’t the original. The man also ran to
him before crossing over, right?

In this situation, as long as Ning Qianyuan coaxed him with a good voice, Qing
Yun would naturally let it go soon. But Ning Qianyuan is a man who couldn’t
keep his mouth shut, and when his head gets hot, he would say whatever was
on his mind.

Not to mention that Ning Qianyuan also misunderstood that Qing Yun was the
little star who drugged him.

Qing Yun was no fool. Of course, he could see that Ning Qianyuan was mistaken,
but why should he explain? He’s not happy, and no one else should be either.

The author has something to say: King Ning’s Dog Language Level 10
Chapter 44

Putting down the script, Qing Yun followed behind He Lan, looking faintly unkind.

He Lan didn’t notice Qing Yun’s mood, and there was some hesitation hidden
between her eyebrows. Compared to those five men, what He Lan wanted to ask
the most was what happened the night Qing Yun attended the event. Still, for
some reason, she always had a feeling that it was better not to ask.

“I can give you what you want, and I can also help you block out that mess, so
you can try to rely on me……”

Sitting behind his desk, Ning Qianyuan looked at the words on the note in his
hand and read them word for word, practicing, “You can try to rely on me…You
can try to rely on me……”

Closing his eyes and memorizing it over, Ning Qianyuan decided that he must
speak properly this time.

After memorizing it, Ning Qianyuan looked down and saw the documents on the
table. He couldn’t help but pull his hair and knock his head twice on the table.

Five men! There are actually five of them after him!

If that little thing, Qing Yun, can drug him, surely he can drug someone else too.
Doesn’t that mean the person could be gone in the blink of an eye? From now on,
he must be well guarded!

“Knock, knock, knock”, sounded the knock on the door. Ning Qianyuan sat
upright for a moment, saw the indentation on his forehead on the computer
screen, and immediately rubbed it with his hand.
“Come in.” Ning Qianyuan deliberately lowered his voice, making sure that his
voice was dignified enough.

He Lan led Qing Yun in and was about to say something when she was
interrupted by Ning Qianyuan, “Alright, you go back first, I want to talk to Qing
Yun alone.”

He Lan had no choice but to cast a reassuring look at Qing Yun before turning
around and going out. In the eyes of the ordinary employees of Sheng Shi, Ning
Qianyuan had always kept a straight face. This was very much in line with his
persona as a high and cold male god in the entertainment industry, so He Lan
was still a little worried about Qing Yun.

“Sit.” Ning Qianyuan pointed to the side of the sofa, trying to keep his voice as
steady as possible. He watched as Qing Yun walked over to the couch and sat
down. His two long legs overlapped, and the jeans perfectly outlined the lines of
these legs, making people look at them and fantasize about the beautiful feeling
of these legs wrapped around their waist.

The knot in his throat slid twice in restraint, and Ning Qianyuan leaned slowly
back in his seat, recalling the overbearing president he had played countless
times in an effort to make himself look mature and reliable.

“You should have noticed that your treatment at the company has changed.”
Ning Qianyuan said in a deep voice, with a pair of extremely oppressive eyes
looking at Qing Yun, who was sitting on the couch.

This person was only wearing a knitted sweater today. The ivory white soft fabric
softly fit by the fair collarbone, causing Qing Yun’s originally reserved and
arrogant temperament to be mixed with a hint of softness, causing certain
thoughts to stir in his heart.

At this point, hearing Ning Qianyuan’s words, Qing Yun looked over lightly. His
clear gaze seemingly able to look directly into people’s hearts.
Ning Qianyuan let him look at a heart that felt like it was soaking in warm water,
completely unable to harden.

You have to tense up! He thought to himself while continuing on his overbearing
persona. He raised his hand and brought a stack of papers over to spread them
out, “You should also know that five people made offers to you at the same time.
I was the one who had them blocked. You should know what would happen to
you if I leave it alone.”

After saying this, Ning Qianyuan felt a sudden jolt in his heart, suddenly feeling
as if the play had collapsed.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qing Yun’s slender

eyebrows rise, and his sarcastic voice instantly sounded, “What does Mr. Ning
mean by this? Bullying me?”

Ning Qianyuan’s head heated up at Qing Yun’s cold eyes, and the words on his
mouth completely ran away, “So what if it is? I can block five of them with just
myself, so it’s not as useful for you to follow them as it is to follow me. I can
definitely satisfy you all by myself, every, single, way!”

The “short, quick” comment from Qing Yun made Ning Qianyuan’s heart stop.
These days, as soon as he remembered it, he would search on the Internet what
the standard of normal male sexual ability is, and he even “tested” it privately to
put his mind at rest.

But Ning Qianyuan wasn’t so stupid after all. As soon as the words were out of
his mouth, he got frustrated, and to remedy the situation, he immediately
started reciting the lines, “I can give you what you want, and I can also help you
block out that mess…..”
“Yeah? Don’t bother yourself, President Ning.” The fire in Qing Yun’s heart,
however, rose because of the previous words spoken. Why is this man so
deserving of a beating? You never learned the human language, did you?

With absolutely no intention of holding back, Qing Yun got up and took two steps
to the desk, grabbed President Ning’s head, and pressed his handsome face,
that charmed thousands of girls into the keyboard and rolled it over and over.

“Mmm!”

“Bang!” The sound of the door slamming shut rang out. Qing Yun left sharply,
not at all guilty of beating up his top boss.

Ning Qianyuan quietly lay on the keyboard and said the next half of the sentence
in aggravation: “You can try to rely on me ah……”

Yet, no one in the room could hear this soft confession of his anymore.

The road ahead was dark and seemingly rocky, but Bai Xiyan had agreed to
Deng Yunqi’s pursuit these days. In fact, in the world’s original direction, Bai
Xiyan quickly made contact with Ning Qianyuan and threw Deng Yunqi to the
back of his mind.

Now that Qing Yun has broken this golden finger, Bai Xiyan was slowly getting
back together with Deng Yunqi.

He wore a hat and mask and sunglasses and walked out for his date in full gear.
How unhappy Bai Xiyan had been the other day on the set of “Seal The Sky”,
how happy he was on Deng Yunqi’s side. Because, by Deng Yunqi’s side, Bai
Xiyan could truly feel the changes brought about by his rebirth once again.

In his previous life, he had loved Deng Yunqi miserably and had almost ripped
out his own heart, but he couldn’t compete with Qing Yun at all.
But now it’s completely different, Bai Xiyan has been indifferent to Deng Yunqi in
this life, but Deng Yunqi is surprisingly attentive to him and is really
incomparably serious in pursuit of him. And for his sake, he changed his normal
state and cleaned himself up.

Across the road, Bai Xiyan saw Deng Yunqi. The man was leaning on the side of
the car, staring at his side with burning eyes. The infatuation in his eyes was
simply undisguised.

The corners of Bai Xiyan’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up as he walked towards
him. He especially liked this kind of infatuation in Deng Yunqi’s eyes.

This life is different after all, isn’t it? He was already in the second line. The six
men who had been circling around Qing Yun had left him, and Deng Yunqi, who
he had previously sought after, had come to his side.

Therefore, Bai Xiyan, you have to believe in yourself.

Finally, crossing the road and approaching Deng Yunqi, Bai Xiyan’s self-
confidence, which had been dampened these days, was gradually building up
again.

“Where are you planning to go today?” Bai Xiyan had just taken off his mask
when he saw Deng Yunqi suddenly raise his head to look behind him, a trace of
undisguised shock flashing in his eyes.

Bai Xiyan was startled and subconsciously looked behind him.

An electronic advertising display on a building behind him happened to be

playing a commercial starring Qing Yun. He was wearing a small black suit with
an open collar and a messy tie. He walked by sideways with his chin slightly
raised. His expression was arrogant and a little cunning. His perfect profile was
extremely eye-catching.

They were not the only ones who stopped to watch, and even the vehicles on the
road slowed down. It was only after the advertisement finished playing did the
passers-by return to their senses and sigh listlessly.

Deng Yunqi quickly wiped away the shock in his eyes and bowed his head to
gently embrace Bai Xiyan, “I remember you said you like Sichuan cuisine? I
know a good restaurant, let’s try it?”

“Okay.” Bai Xiyan nodded and agreed with a smile without a trace of difficulty on
his face. However, the one or two seconds of surprise that had just occurred was
like an invisible thorn hidden in both of their hearts.

Qing Yun gradually became busier as his reputation grew, and he received more
plays. But because of this, Qing Yun felt that he was not good enough at acting.
Of course, Qing Yun, who was a bit of a perfectionist, would not let it go and
slowly started his training.

Because he had been staying in Sheng Shi, with Ning Qianyuan bowing his head,
Qing Yun had gotten used to the man’s drawl and developed a habit of treating
him like air. Of course, this was when Bai Xiyan was not present.

However, because of Qing Yun’s ice-cold attitude, Ning Qianyuan was extremely
agitated and couldn’t help but “speak out” every time he was around Qing Yun.

Now, everyone in Sheng Shi knows that the president is unusually “harsh” on
the newcomer, Qing Yun. As a result, many people secretly poke fun at Qing Yun.

After the dance class ended, Qing Yun wiped his sweat and received a cup of
water from his assistant.
The two actresses who trained together walked past Qing Yun and laughed
without concealment: “It hasn’t been a year since he joined the company, right?
And then he caused this embarrassing incident of five bosses robbing the person
together. Why wouldn’t the President be upset when he looks at him?”

Needless to say, it was definitely Qing Yun who they were talking about. The
little assistant behind Qing Yun looked furious, while Qing Yun himself didn’t feel
anything.

The seniors who were really well established in the circle wouldn’t say it so
blatantly even if they didn’t like him. After all, Ning Qianyuan’s attitude towards
Qing Yun was strange. They didn’t dare to casually hold him high or step on him.

As with these two, they probably still don’t know that Qing Yun was getting a
contract A treatment.

But Qing Yun had always held a grudge, so he made another mark on Ning
Qianyuan’s head.

Ning Qianyuan, who was unaware of this, felt cold. He was now attending an
exchange meeting abroad. A director he had worked with earlier in his career
invited him to look at a script at hand.

However, when Ning Qianyuan was invited to go, he unexpectedly saw this
director screening the video that was incredibly hot in China.

Ning Qianyuan’s face instantly darkened as he said in a deep voice, “Hilde, what
exactly did you call me here for?”

It’s no wonder that Ning Qianyuan thought too much about it. Hilde is indeed a
good director with a very sensitive artistic touch. Still, inevitably Westerners in
the arts are somewhat open about their private lives. Not only is Hilde bisexual,
but he has also had many relationships with his actors and crew.

“Hush, Ning, look at how beautiful he is, worthy of the ‘exuberant beauty’ that
your country praises.” Hilde looked at Qing Yun’s face on the screen in
fascination. He saw the video by accident, but it was the perfect solution to his
casting problem.

“He’s my man.” Ning Qianyuan looked at Hilde, his gaze was electric, and his
voice did not hide his burst of possessiveness.

“Ahem!” As soon as Hilde heard this, he immediately choked on his saliva. He

then had time to turn around and look at Ning Qianyuan. Seeing that the
expression on his face did not seem fake, Hilde then shrugged his shoulders,
“Well then, allow me to mourn my fleetingly lost love.”

“Say, what do you want from me? If it’s about him, then don’t say anything, all
of which I won’t agree with!” Ning Qianyuan walked over to him and sat down,
but his heart was faintly anxious.

These days, he was literally glued to Qing Yun’s side in the company. Although
the atmosphere between the two wasn’t good, it was better than the current
separation for Ning Qianyuan.

Realizing this feeling, Ning Qianyuan could not help but spurn himself. That
person had drugged him and crawled into his bed, using the means that he
despised the most, yet he was biased to trap him, which was not as easy to
accept as a simple love at first sight.

“Oh, no! Ning, you can’t just turn me down like that. I have a very suitable role
for him in my script, and I can’t find anyone else for it but him!” Hilde tensed
and shook Ning Qianyuan’s hand up and down vigorously, “We’re old friends too,
you have to put a knife to the ribs for me!” [T/N: Looked it up on Baidu and it’s
a metaphor for making great sacrifices.]
“Role?” Ning Qianyuan withdrew his hand in disgust, but he still caught the
keyword.

“Yes, it’s Druid 2. The first one was your breakout film.” Hilde handed over the
script, “I watched the TV show he was in too, it was great! Since I figured he
was an artist in your company, I simply approached you, but now it seems I
might as well just go the normal route.”

Saying that, Hilde shrugged his shoulders, but he was also secretly glad. If he
hadn’t approached Ning Qianyuan beforehand, he might have really been unable
to resist making a move on this beauty, and Ning would have definitely torn him
apart by then.

Ning Qianyuan was stunned at the words. He didn’t expect that Hilde would
actually make Druid 2, and even found Qing Yun. This was definitely a perfect
opportunity for Qing Yun.

Borrowing the reputation of the first film, this sequel was attractive enough even
if it wouldn’t be as hot as the first one.

Flipping through the script and looking at it carefully, Ning Qianyuan instantly
knew which role Hilde was talking about. The character was an Oriental
Immortal who played an essential role in the protagonist’s journey to save the
world and ended up being a tragic character that drew tears.

But sweeping through a few of the scenes, Ning Qianyuan immediately frowned.
This character even had a nude scene?

Ning Qianyuan carefully looked over the script, but his heart gradually grew
conflicted. Not only was there a nude scene, but this nude scene also had
intimate contact with the main character. The previous film’s protagonist was
played by Ning Qianyuan, but now that he had retired, the protagonist would
naturally be someone else.
Ning Qianyuan was tempted to export a request for Hilde to cut these scenes.
Still, out of the professionalism of an actor, Ning Qianyuan couldn’t make such a
request because these scenes happened to be the psychological turning point of
this character.

After cutting the scenes, there was absolutely no way that the character could
be this brilliant, so Ning Qianyuan was caught in a kind of contradiction, knowing
full well that this was normal and that Qing Yun may take on roles of even
greater scale than this in the future. Βut Ning Qianyuan was just not willing!

Hilde could not help but start to feel self-satisfied as he watched him attentively:
“Ning, I believe this script will definitely surpass the first one. It’s not only a
commercial film, but I am expecting to win an award with it. The second film will
have a new lead, but even without you, I believe the film will be a success. I’ve
already scouted out a few actors for the lead role, so why don’t you take a look
for me?”

Suddenly, Hilde saw Ning Qianyuan raise his head and stare at him with a pair of
dark eyes, “What? I can’t continue playing the lead?”

Hilde burst out laughing at this, “Ning, you’re so funny, you’ve been on hiatus
for five years. If you were to play the part again, I would be worried!”

“What do you have to worry about? Questioning my acting skills?” Ning

Qianyuan slowly closed the script, and he leaned against the back of his chair,
his aura instantly shifting.

It was the tone of a superior man, dignified yet reticent. The words were even
spoken with some caution. He had to be careful because he was carrying the life
and future of his entire community on his back.

Hilde immediately froze, his eyes immediately changed as he looked at Ning

Qianyuan. This wasn’t Sheng Shi’s president Ning Qianyuan, nor was it the
movie emperor Ning Qianyuan. The main character from the script, the Druid
King, was now presented before him.
Hilde didn’t think that Ning Qianyuan would still be able to enter the play
whenever he wanted after five years of rest, but when he closed the script, he
brought the entire character to life with that one statement.

“Oh, Ning……you’re not kidding, are you? Are you sure you want to make a
comeback?” Hilde danced with excitement and literally wanted to scream, “God
has been so good to me about this, it was really worth it to call you!”

“Mm, I’ll make all the arrangements for the comeback when I get back.” Ning
Qianyuan put the script down, his aura returning once again. Having himself play
the lead role was the best way he could think of.

“Hey! Old friend, you’ve really fallen in.” Hilde suddenly thought of something
and wiggled his eyebrows towards Ning, “Surely, you must have seen that scene
and didn’t want that beauty to be intimate with anyone else?”

“No, I’ve been planning a comeback for a long time.” Ning Qianyuan pretended
to be serious, but his reddened ears betrayed him.

yuzu: Ning Qianyuan preparing and memorizing a script is just too funny for me
hahaha

“A comeback! Comeback your sister! Back then, you suddenly wanted to stop,
but now you suddenly want to make a comeback. Do you think the
entertainment industry is your home, and you can come and go as you please?”

Ning Qianyuan casually decided to make a comeback, but the agent, Li Qing,
was so anxious that he jumped to his feet in his office, and just wanted to yell at
the phone again but found that the person opposite had already hung up.
Li Qing gripped his head and wailed, “Damn it! How did I end up with this
ancestor!”

But his professionalism was still there, and he immediately arranged avenues for
publicity. Thankfully, the work that Ning Qianyuan was going to make a
comeback was in the same line as his breakout work, so it wouldn’t be too
awkward.

Once the news was released that Ning Qianyuan would make a comeback for
“Druid 2”, it caused a massive wave of excitement.

His fans were already extremely active these days because of one Like from Ning
Qianyuan. Now, when they saw this news on Weibo, they were simply so happy
they were going to faint!

“It’s true this time, isn’t it? Is it true?”

“Oww! Is it official news from Sheng Shi that His Majesty has finally gotten tired
of being the president and is coming back as a movie star?”

In the past few years, some fake news has come out, saying that Ning Qianyuan
will participate in a certain movie, but eventually, it came out that it was just
using Ning Qianyuan’s fame for hype. So when this news was released, his fans
couldn’t believe it for a while.

His various fan groups became active in an instant, and the group leader yelled:
“Sisters, cheer up and get ready to go to war. The ones who haven’t moved for a
long time will be kicked out. Where’s the management? Everyone pay attention,
the Emperor is coming back, and we’ll still have the same rules as before, so
watch your mouths!”

It was only then that the people in the entertainment industry really felt how
popular Ning Qianyuan was. He hadn’t had a single work in five years, but his
fans were still as strong as they were a few years ago.
Almost instantly, the hashtags #Holy Comeback and #Druid 2 topped the list.

Everyone in the entertainment industry also retweeted the news, congratulating

Ning Qianyuan on his comeback.

The stars under Sheng Shi’s name forwarded this news in seconds, except for
Qing Yun, because he’s really in trouble now.

Five luxury cars surrounded Qing Yun’s poor nanny car. He Lan sat in the
driver’s seat with a blue face, but still comforted Qing Yun. “Do not worry, I
called the company over, and these five people would not dare to do anything
serious.”

Although she said this, He Lan’s heart was still tense. Ning Qianyuan, who can
have the face to block these five people, was still abroad. And He Lan knew that
there were not only these five cars around, but there were also paparazzi.

As long as Qing Yun gets off today, I’m afraid that he can’t wash it clean even if
he jumps into the Yellow River. [T/N: It is difficult to avoid suspicion.]

As soon as He Lan thought about this, she turned around and found that Qing
Yun opened the door and got out of the car. Suddenly, her heart stopped
beating.

As soon as they saw Qing Yun get off the car, the windows of the five luxury cars
lowered. One of them peeked over and hooked his hand towards Qing Yun,
“Come, get in the car, we’ll take you out for some fun.”

“Don’t worry.” Qing Yun waved at He Lan and walked straight to one of the cars,
opening the door and sitting in.
After Qing Yun went in, the five cars simply left, with lights flashing all around.
He Lan slumped against the car seat: “It’s over.”

Because the news of the comeback was released, Ning Qianyuan returned home
early. He saw the hundreds of messages He Lan sent him as soon as he got off
the plane and was suddenly confused.

He Lan was Qing Yun’s agent. What was she doing calling him this time?

Ning Qianyuan had a bit of a bad feeling in his heart, and he immediately called
He Lan’s phone.

As soon as the call was connected, He Lan’s crying voice came over, “Mr. Ning,
Qing Yun was taken away by those five men. I really had no choice but to come
to you……”

As soon as he heard the news, Ning Qianyuan only heard a “buzz” in his own
brain.

He immediately pulled the car door open and dragged Li Qing, who was sitting in
the driver’s seat, out of the car. After that, he got into the driver’s seat, stepped
on the gas pedal, and drove off.

“I……f*ck……” Li Qing stood alone outside the airport, looking confused, “How will
I get back ah, hey! ”

These five people brought Qing Yun to a clubhouse. The facilities of this
clubhouse were very private, and there was a special reception at the entrance.
Except for the frequent guests and some influential people, other idle people
could not enter.

The five men familiarly walked into a private room and found their own seats.
The door of the private room closed behind Qing Yun. These people looked at
Qing Yun, who was standing there alone, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered,
and laughed maliciously.

“Look, when I asked you to follow me, you refused. Now you’re facing the five of
us at the same time, isn’t it terrifying?” The person who spoke was called Zhou
Ye, he was an arrogant rich second generation. He was somewhat talented in
this aspect of the entertainment industry, but he usually played the craziest and
even had quite a reputation on the internet.

“Heh, Mr. Zhou, don’t say that. maybe the five of us together would be more in
line with what he wants.” Another person said disdainfully.

Although these people were disdainful on the surface, their eyes were glued to
Qing Yun without blinking. They were initially obsessed with Qing Yun’s
appearance, and they did not hesitate to coerce him. The last time they saw
Qing Yun was with Bai Xiyan, and although Bai Xiyan’s words enlightened them,
Qing Yun was still like a small hook that caught their hearts and made them feel
uncomfortable.

However, they have been in contact with Bai Xiyan since the last incident, and
they have even looked at Bai Xiyan in a different light. As soon as they heard
that Bai Xiyan was “bullied” by Qing Yun, they rushed to help him out.

Of course, whether it was helping Bai Xiyan out or satisfying the filthy desires of
their hearts, only they would know.

“We few have to let you know that Xiyan is different from you. He is a good
actor while you are just something that sells sex.”

Zhou Ye took a bottle of red wine and slowly walked into Qing Yun, “This place is
very private. We can play however we want. Come open the bottle of wine for
me, and use your mouth.”
“However we want to play?” Qing Yun suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Right, don’t worry, no matter how much you scream, you won’t draw anyone
here.” Zhou Ye grinned and raised his hand to touch Qing Yun’s face.

“Yeah? Then this is a really good place.”

As soon as Qing Yun’s voice fell, only a “bang” sounded as he brought up the red
wine that Zhou Ye had handed over and smashed the bottle onto his head.

Zhou Ye was instantly smashed in the head and sat on the ground. He looked up
with a muddled expression, and his body was covered in a mixture of blood and
red wine: “You, you, you……”

“What’s wrong with me?” Qing Yun smashed it again, the broken bottle nearly
scratching Zhou Ye’s face.

“How was it? Is it fun?” Qing Yun used the broken bottle to pick Zhou Ye’s chin
and asked condescendingly.

Zhou Ye looked directly into his eyes, only to feel as if he had seen hell, and his
entire body couldn’t help shiver.

The other four reacted and immediately stood up. Yet, when Qing Yun’s icy gaze
swept over them with a hint of spiritual intimidation, they found themselves
unable to raise a single thought of calling the police for help.

“None of you, none of you can escape.” Qing Yun’s handsome, peerless face
conjured up a heartwarming smile, but the thoughts of the five people in the
room had long since flown away.
These five well-established men had never encountered a situation like this
before. No coercion, no trickery, just a simple and brutal abuse, but it was
completely too much for these men to bear. They could only get down on their
knees and call Dad. [T/N: Worship, bow down]

They didn’t expect that Qing Yun, who looked noble and handsome like a little
prince, would end up beating people without mercy.

As soon as Ning Qianyuan entered, he was shocked by the scene inside the room.

Of the five men commonly known in the business world, four were on their
knees and held their heads around Qing Yun. They looked like four shivering
quails, while the other one was huddled on the ground covering his crotch.

The smell of blood and alcohol permeated the entire private room. Ning
Qianyuan looked at the five miserable men in the private room and did not have
the slightest sympathy.

These people deserved it, and Ning Qianyuan would make it worse for them.

He walked over and looked at Qing Yun, who was sitting on the sofa, and asked
in a muffled voice, “Is everything alright……”

It had been a long time since Qing Yun had had such a hearty fight, so he was in
a very comfortable mood. Looking at Ning Qianyuan, he felt that the man looked
a little more pleasing to the eye, so he nodded towards him with compassion.

Qing Yun picked up a clean wine glass and shook it. Zhou Ye, who was kneeling
there, immediately moved over. He took a wine opener, opened a bottle of wine,
and poured it for Qing Yun.
This scene made Ning Qianyuan feel incredibly irritated. He lifted his foot and
kicked Zhou Ye’s shoulder. What kind of a person is he that has the right to pour
wine for Qing Yun?

“The paparazzi are the ones you got, right?” Ning Qianyuan’s voice was grim as
he looked at these five men on the ground. He was in a strange mood as he
didn’t expect that these men would dare to come after Qing Yun even though he
had clearly given him protection.

“I told them to buy themselves out of tonight’s news.” Taking a sip of the ardent
red wine, Qing Yun said coolly, “I won’t bother President Ning to stop the people
for me in the future. It’s quite nice to play with them.”

Ning Qianyuan choked and became a little sullen; his entire mood fell.

But he was still a little worried, so he then asked, “What if they put this out as
your black material?”

“They wouldn’t dare.” Qing Yun said with a sneer, and the five people on the
ground trembled together.

Li Qing, who was left at the airport, soon learned the news and managed to rush
over. After all, Ning Qianyuan had just announced his comeback, so it wouldn’t
be good if there was some scandal. But he was obviously too late, as Ning
Qianyuan and Qing Yun had already walked out.

Qing Yun didn’t seem to be affected in the slightest, walking straight towards the
car where He Lan had been waiting outside.

Ning Qianyuan, on the other hand, walked over with a sour face. This time, he
didn’t grab the driver’s seat with Li Qing but climbed into the back seat.
Li Qing looked at his stern face and couldn’t help but ask him, “What? What’s the
situation? Seeing how nervous you were before, I thought the person couldn’t be
rescued……”

Ning Qianyuan leaned back in his seat, not paying any attention to him at all,
only looking sideways out the car window and gazing at Qing Yun’s departing
back.

Li Qing followed his gaze and curled his lips, “What’s wrong with you? He’s such
a great kid, but you’re just giving him a hard time, making everyone in the
company make fun of him. To say that you hate him, but you drove like crazy
when you hear something happened to him, you’d think….”

At this point, Li Qing paused, and he slowly turned his head to stare at Ning
Qianyuan in the backseat, looking horrified, “Fuck, you’re not looking at him with
this damned look, are you?”

“What? He’s allowed to climb into my bed, but I’m not allowed to look at him
anymore?” Ning Qianyuan replied in a harsh voice.

“What did you say? Qing Yun crawled into your bed? When was that? Don’t
slander him. He’s so busy at the office every day, he has no time for this.
Instead, you’re the one scheming to follow him around all the time, right?”

Li Qing had been promoted to Qing Yun’s number one fan. And now, when he
heard Ning Qianyuan, a bear child, slandering his own idol, he immediately
disowned him without thinking.

“You don’t know when he did it?” Ning Qianyuan’s face was cold and hard, “The
information is something I asked you to look up.”
Li Qing blinked his eyes twice, clearly a little confused about what Ning Qianyuan
was talking about. He thought about it again and again before asking probingly,
“You’re talking about the last exchange meeting?”

As Ning Qianyuan nodded silently, he heard Li Qing curse.

“Bullsh*t, who told you that the person that day was Qing Yun? The one who
gave you the drug was obviously a little star from Tianyuan Entertainment!”

Now it was Ning Qianyuan’s turn to be confused. He stared blankly at Li Qing.

His confused eyes seemed like a teenager who had gone astray: “But I woke up
the next day and saw him.”

Li Qing was stunned, and when he reacted, he was immediately too angry to say
anything. He pointed at Ning Qianyuan finger trembling: “F*ck, Ning Qianyuan
you beast, you actually took my Qing Yun……”

He wiped his face and then cursed, “You’re so fucking inhuman, aren’t you? You
were drugged and confused and pulled Qing Yun into bed. When it was over, you
still put on a bad attitude, Ning Qianyuan, you bear.”

Ning Qianyuan’s brain seemed a little insufficient. He thought back and then said:
“I remember beating up the guy who handed me the drink, Then the next day I
saw a bruise on his shoulder blade. If it wasn’t from me, then what else could it
be?”

“You don’t hit people towards the face, but towards the shoulder blades when
you’re f*cking angry?” Li Qing cursed even harder when he heard this.

Ning Qianyuan was silent and sat there quietly. From head to toe, even his hair
revealed a kind of helplessness.
What do you mean? Was he mistaken?

Was he the one who was drugged and forced Qing Yun, and then taunted him
afterward?

What did he say again? A thing that only climbs beds?

So, he’s also responsible for the bruise on Qing Yun’s shoulder blade?

It’s no wonder that every time he sees him, Qing Yun looks so distant and
indifferent. How could the incredibly arrogant Qing Yun give him a good look
when he encountered such a thing!

And every time he says something, he still……

Ning Qianyuan silently covered his face, his head turning red like a large tomato.

He felt that he was getting cold.

Thinking this way, Ning Qianyuan suddenly raised his head and began to get
angry. He kicked the back of the driver’s seat hard, “You get off!”

Li Qing was baffled by his kicks. But, in the end, he didn’t want to be seen with
this broken-hearted person and got out of the car himself.

Ning Qianyuan climbed from the car’s back seat to the driver’s seat and quickly
chased after Qing Yun’s car.

Li Qing stood by and was pelted by the flying dust: “Being driven off again, don’t
you think of your agent as a human being, huh?”
Did Ning Qianyuan chase after Qing Yun to explain?

No, this person is cowardly to death. Knowing that all sorts of things result from
his own making, he has no face to see Qing Yun and simply retreated to his
home like a turtle shrinking to its shell.

He even made an excuse to come back and adjust his status and didn’t even go
to work.

Ning Qianyuan thought about it a lot. He treated Qing Yun with an arrogant
attitude, said words with a bit of coercion and temptation, and even threatened
to support him. In Qing Yun’s eyes, what is the difference between him and the
five men?

None at all!

At the thought of this, Ning Qianyuan felt ashamed and angry at death. He didn’t
know how to face Qing Yun.

At this moment, the bearded and dejected mess, Ning Qianyuan, was knocking
his head on the coffee table at home. The television started to play “Seal the
Sky”. The opening song began with the fluttering clothes of Ling Hua Xianjun,
followed by a glimpse of the stunning side of his face, which led people to not
even be able to skip the beginning.

Ning Qianyuan focused on Ling Hua Xianjun on the TV, as if looking at Qing Yun
himself.

The little puppy he had brought home whined and pulled at his pants leg in
search of food.
Ning Qianyuan casually threw over a bag of puppy food and let him dig in and
chew on it himself. He looked at the little puppy squirming around in the bag of
dog food and sadly thought, “I’m afraid I’m not as pleasing to the eye as this
dog in Qing Yun’s eyes.

Pleasing to the eye?

Ning Qianyuan’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he pulled the dog out of the dog
food bag with both hands.

He remembered that Qing Yun quite liked this dog? Would he be pleased if I
gave it to him?

Ning Qianyuan never thought that one day he would degenerate to the point
where he would use his “rival” to win the heart of the one he liked.

Qing Yun did not see Ning Qianyuan until he received Hilde’s invitation to go
abroad to shoot a movie.

As soon as he saw Qing Yun enter the set, Hilde was very excited and
immediately welcomed him: “Oh, God, you really do look so beautiful.”

Not only did Hilde have such an exclamation, but the rest of the crew also rang
with low gasps and whispers, “He’s simply an angel!”

Hilde took Qing Yun’s hand and was about to kiss it, but he suddenly stopped
and gave two dry laughs.

Qing Yun looked behind him, and as expected, he saw Ning Qianyuan sitting not
far away, looking at the script in his hands, seemingly serious.
As if sensing Qing Yun’s line of sight, Ning Qianyuan secretly lifted the script
upward, completely covering his face.

The corners of his mouth curled up with a slight curve. It wasn’t hard for Qing
Yun to guess why this man had been avoiding him lately, so his mood became
increasingly pleasant.

To celebrate Ning Qianyuan’s comeback, the first scene that starts the film is his
scene, which coincidentally happens to be the one between Ning Qianyuan and
Qing Yun.

Although his role is an Oriental Immortal, such characters in the western plays
are dressed similarly to the Western Sorcerers. Therefore, what Qing Yun wore
was only a simple white robe. It was simplified to emphasize Qing Yun’s elegant
temperament.

This scene is where the main character, Lance, played by Ning Qianyuan, is
forced to bow down and become a slave to the Oriental Immortal, Xuan, played
by Qing Yun, for the survival of the Druid clan.

Xuan’s character has many overlaps with Ling Hua Xianjun, so it doesn’t pose
much of a challenge to Qing Yun. He knows the kind of feeling that Hilde wants,
so this scene is quite simple from his point of view.

It was the first scene in the movie, but it was NG 20 times, and the problem was
with Ning Qianyuan.

yuzu: poor Li Qing haha

Chapter 45

In this scene, as a leader and a king, Lance is not willing to become a slave, but
he has to do so. Therefore, Ning Qianyuan not only has to kneel down to Qing
Yun but also has to reflect on his inner struggle and the fierce collision between
his pride and his strong sense of responsibility in the kneeling process.

So Lance is both disgruntled and reluctant and still harbors a hatred for Qing Yun.

But this was too difficult for Ning Qianyuan……He was focused on how to
apologize to Qing Yun and how to please him. So the first time he kneeled down,
he directly “plopped” on his knees. He endured a lot and held back from holding
Qing Yun directly in front of him.

He knelt down too easily and too willingly. He looked at Qing Yun with a pair of
eyes that were simply filled with the words “begging for forgiveness”.

It was so funny that Qing Yun almost couldn’t hold back his laughter.

How could Hilde be satisfied? In fact, Ning Qianyuan had kneeled down twenty
times, but Hilde hadn’t been satisfied once.

“Ning! You’re supposed to be a tough guy, understand? You were forced to

become a slave, not to propose, do you know that?” Hilde was very speechless.
He held his forehead, danced around, and explained, “You have to embody that
unwillingness and hatred, well I know it might be a little hard for you……”

By now, Hilde couldn’t see the contradiction between Ning Qianyuan and Qing
Yun. He just wanted to slap himself; what a wrong choice he made to choose
this scene to start.

“But……can you not act so…… ” Hilde looked at Ning Qianyuan and racked his
brain before coming up with an appropriate Chinese word. “So Dog Legs?” [T/N:
A metaphor for a person who accompanies the master]
Hilde’s words went in one ear and out the other. Ning Qianyuan looked towards
Qing Yun, who was standing beside him, and was slightly relieved when he found
that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were tinted with a little smile. A little
embarrassment is nothing; trying to coax him into a good mood is the main
thing.

Then the shooting continued, Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun entered the scene
together. As soon as he stood in his place, he heard a voice that was like a
mosquito in his ears: “You want to try to ng again?”

Of course, the one who spoke was Qing Yun. He had been standing for so long
and still hadn’t finished filming a single scene yet that Ning Qianyuan didn’t feel
ashamed. His legs were getting sore, okay? Qing Yun didn’t know that this
person was pretending. The king of the entertainment industry could not be so
useless even after five years of inactivity.

In fact, Ning Qianyuan only started two or three times somewhat unable to
control their emotions. The rest was utterly to see Qing Yun’s expression
loosened. He was shamelessly acting stupid.

As soon as he heard Qing Yun’s words, Ning Qianyuan immediately cheered up

and took out his strength as a movie emperor. This time, he really did pass at
once.

After shooting for a long time, he finally got the first scene done. Hilde was
unable to laugh or cry at what happened. He had worked with Ning Qianyuan
many times, so how could he not know his abilities and even more of his
arrogance. He had just come back and was even willing to use his reputation to
get a smile from the beauty, so he(Hilde) was impressed.

“All those ng shots just now have to be preserved. I’m going to make a special
feature to show to the audience in China.” Said Hilde as he shrugged his
shoulders towards the assistant director beside him. “China always says that a
bad first shooting of the opening scene is not a good sign, so I must retaliate
back.”

It was the first day of shooting, and both Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun had
arrived in a hurry from China, so Hilde quickly and generously let them go.

This time, still in the changing room, Ning Qianyuan squeezed in again.

A changing room with two large men naturally seemed crowded. Ning Qianyuan
didn’t dare to make a move this time, so he quietly shrank there.

However, what the hell could a 1.9-meter man shrink into further? Qing Yun
didn’t look back to see him as he was still changing his clothes. It was only when
he heard the faint sound of a man swallowing behind him that he snorted and
spat out, “What are you going to say again this time?”

“I’ve come to apologize.” The man’s muffled voice behind him rang out.

Finally willing to talk properly? Qing Yun looked at him sideways.

“I’m sorry……I mistakenly thought you set me up that day, so I said something
outrageous……” Ning Qianyuan looked down at his toes. All of the momentum of
a president and a movie emperor was thrown away. He was like a young student
who admitted his mistake.

“Blame me?” Hearing the man’s words, Qing Yun coolly looked over.

“No, no, no!” Ning Qianyuan was startled. He subconsciously reached out and
grabbed Qing Yun’s wrist, “I didn’t mean to say those words. I actually like you a
lot, and I can’t help but want to kiss you whenever I see you……”
The Great Movie Emperor Ning, who had played all sorts of love interests, was
now pitiful when it came to the real thing. His heart trembled with nervousness.
Did Qing Yun also have feelings for him? Will he accept his confession? After all
the mistakes he made earlier, does he still have a chance?

“The bad attitude I had towards you before is even more proof that I’m clean,
right? I’m not the type of man to just accept anyone. I don’t know why I just fell
in love with you at first sight, but I didn’t want to let you go, so I wanted to keep
you any way I could!”

Qing Yun looked up quietly at this man who was so agitated that his eyes were
red and held his hand tightly as if he was afraid that Qing Yun would break away.

This man was like this every time. He obviously had no memory, but he seemed
to be equipped with radar to recognize him at once and stuck to his side in
various ways so that Qing Yun could not help but get used to his company.

With a sigh, Qing Yun reached out and touched the man’s handsome face,
almost unable to resist the urge to ask the question in his heart: Who are you?
Why do you follow me around from one world to the next?

Slowly suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Qing Yun’s hand caressing the
man’s face changed to tugging at his collar. He raised his chin high and trailed
off as he said, “Since you know you have made a mistake, you have to make it
up to me.”

Ning Qianyuan stared at Qing Yun and nodded his head: “Good, you can do
anything you want!”

“Anything I want?” Qing Yun leaned in close and almost stuck to the man.

Ning Qianyuan’s breathing was instantly ragged, and he unconsciously lowered

his head to kiss Qing Yun’s cheek: “Yes, as long as it’s what you want, I’ll give
you all that I have, and snatch what I don’t have and give it to you.”
“Really? Then teach me how to act, Emperor Ning.” As the man’s arm was about
to wrap around Qing Yun’s waist, Qing Yun retreated in an instant.

The warmth in his arms retreated, and Ning Qianyuan was lost for a moment.
Was that the only request?

Looking at his lost appearance, Qing Yun coldly raised his eyebrows, “We don’t
have any relationship. That night was just a misunderstanding.”

The cold words were like a sword that plunged into Ning Qianyuan’s heart at
once, leaving him speechless.

Was what Qing Yun had said wrong? It wasn’t, their relationship was probably
even worse than that of ordinary people, and this knowledge made Ning
Qianyuan’s entire body slump.

Qing Yun asked Ning Qianyuan to teach himself how to act because he had
recently taken on another script. This was the first time Qing Yun played a lead
role, and this role was different from the two he had been playing. Qing Yun
obviously felt a bit of difficulty in understanding the character.

Ning Qianyuan, the movie emperor before him, was not needed for no reason.

Although the matter of Qing Yun’s participation in Hilde’s script was still a secret,
many people from Sheng Shi Entertainment had already heard the rumors and
found it somewhat unbelievable. After all, with Qing Yun’s credentials, it would
be a pie in the sky benefit to play even a small role in a film by an international
director like Hilde.

Bai Xiyan seemed to be focused on the script, but his mind was drawn to the two
people’s words outside the door.
“Looking at the president’s attitude before, I thought that Qing Yun would be
cold in a few days, so why is it suddenly like he’s gotten lucky?”

“The president is also on that crew. It’s unbelievable to think about it, it’s Hilde’s
Druid. The first one had such a good reputation; the second one with the
president must not be far behind. This Qing Yun is fortunate; how long has he
been around?”

Bai Xiyan listened to the voices outside the door fade away, and his grip on the
script tightened unconsciously, squeezing the paper miserably.

Hilde’s script?

International?

Qing Yun?

He put down the script in his hands and raised his hands to cover his face, while
his eyes gradually showed his resentment and jealousy.

Bai Xiyan can be said to have had a smooth ride since his rebirth. He climbed to
a second-tier position in less than a year, which can be said to be unprecedented
in the entertainment industry since even Ning Qianyuan back then had slowly
worked his way up.

But why is he still no match for Qing Yun?

What makes Qing Yun qualified to be in Hilde’s film?

Thinking of this, Bai Xiyan snorted. What else could it be? Didn’t he just climb
into Ning Qianyuan’s bed?

Not only that, what made Bai Xiyan even more anxious was that the five men
who had been more than pleasant and helpful to Bai Xiyan a few days ago now
seemed like they had changed overnight. Not only had they repeatedly refused
Bai Xiyan’s calls, but they had also cut off the resources they supplied to Bai
Xiyan.

That Zhou Ye even scolded Bai Xiyan for no apparent reason. It’s not hard to
understand, even though Bai Xiyan was “different” in the hearts of the five men,
now, in their hearts, Qing Yun is a “deadly” existence.

Bai Xiyan knew what these five men had gone on to do before, but why hadn’t
there been a single hint of Qing Yun’s black material out in the world?

What happened that night? Why had their attitude changed so drastically?

Bai Xiyan couldn’t help but scold the few men in his heart, he had wasted a
great deal of effort blowing away the fog in front of their eyes to make them
recognize Qing Yun’s real face, and it was all in vain.

The five men with strange attitudes and Qing Yun’s growing reputation, all of
this was stealthily moving closer to his former life. This knowledge made Bai
Xiyan terrified.

Bai Xiyan’s phone rang, and he looked down to see that it was a call from Deng
Yunqi, and he instantly felt at ease.

It wasn’t that everything had changed back. At least Deng Yunqi was still on his
side.
Bai Xiyan and Deng Yunqi have been making rapid progress these days. The
paparazzi have taken pictures of them and put them on the Internet. Bai Xiyan
discussed it with Deng Yunqi and simply used it to make their relationship public.

Same-sex marriage has been legal for many years. With the hard-working and
motivated persona that Bai Xiyan has created, his fans have been unexpectedly
tolerant of his romance.

On the contrary, precisely because his same-sex partner is the CEO of Tianyuan
Entertainment, his fans even praised the two for being generous and open about
their romance.

Most people supported their relationship, so Deng Yunqi was now running to pick
up Bai Xiyan every day in the open. This action obviously made Bai Xiyan
extremely happy. Bai Xiyan was already considering whether or not to make the
jump to Tianyuan.

Deng Yunqi was waiting for Bai Xiyan to come downstairs in Sheng Shi
Entertainment. He sat in the car dazed, and suddenly, as if he thought of
something, he pulled out a magazine from a hidden place.

The young man on the magazine’s cover looks gorgeous and bewitching, and the
peach blossom eyes that looked sideways at him were simply stunning.

It was Qing Yun. The magazine was snatched up as soon as it went on sale, and
it was Deng Yunqi who had his secretary guard the spot to grab it.

As his fingers slowly traced across the magazine’s young man’s perfect face,
Deng Yunqi’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker with fascination. Strangely enough,
he was indeed shocked by Qing Yun’s looks at first, but it was only like how he
usually treated other young stars. He was not too enamored with Qing Yun
because he had been paying attention to Bai Xiyan at the time instead.

But sometime since then, maybe it was the shocking glimpse of the day the six
of them got together, or perhaps it was the video that was circulated online. Still,
somehow, this gorgeous looking youth was deeply planted in Deng Yunqi’s heart.
He was now gradually acting like a crazy fan, and he wanted to collect a copy of
all of Qing Yun’s work.

But……he already had Bai Xiyan. Bai Xiyan was naturally different in his heart,
different from everyone he had met before in the entertainment industry.

Especially in the past few days, Bai Xiyan had changed from his previous usual
behavior towards him, becoming much more clingy, which made Deng Yunqi
happy, but at the same time, he felt vaguely bored.

Thinking of this, Deng Yunqi sighed, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. He
sometimes even came up with a thought: If there was no Bai Xiyan,
would……Qing Yun already belong to him?

Seeing Bai Xiyan coming this way through the car window, Deng Yunqi
subconsciously hid the magazine in his hands.

Agreeing to Qing Yun’s request to teach him how to act, Ning Qianyuan drove
back to his villa with him. In his early years, he had been running around filming
everywhere, so he had his own properties around various film and television
cities.

Ning Qianyuan seemed to have an unusual talent for acting. He didn’t have
anything else in his room, but he had a collection of various scripts and films. So
when Ning Qianyuan proposed to go to his place, Qing Yun didn’t refuse,
although he knew the man definitely had other thoughts.

He finally brought Qing Yun back “home”, Ning Qianyuan seemed extremely
excited. He brought Qing Yun to the living room and rushed to take a bottle of
red wine.
However, before the wine was taken out, Ning Qianyuan looked at the wine in
his hands and slowly turned red.

No, he can’t take the wine. He just got Qing Yun’s forgiveness. What if he’s
misunderstood as wanting to do something after drinking?

But……he has no other drinks on his side. Ning Qianyuan scratched his ears and
struggled for a long while before walking back with two glasses of water.

By the time Ning Qianyuan came down, Qing Yun had already spread out the
script he wanted to ask Ning Qianyuan about and carefully looked at it.

However, Ning Qianyuan did not want to start his “teaching” so quickly.

So he pondered for a while and took out the “gift” he had prepared.

Qing Yun could not help but look up when he heard two “whines” and saw Ning
Qianyuan walking over holding a small puppy. At first glance, he knew that this
was the one that was in the “Seal the Sky” crew.

“Why is it here with you?” Qing Yun asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I brought it back since it looked cute.” Ning Qianyuan coughed, firmly refusing
to admit that he had brought the dog back with the idea of defeating his rival in
the first place.

With one hand on his chin, he looked at the person and the dog whose
expressions were almost identical. Qing Yun could not figure out what the person
was thinking. In the previous worlds, he gave away some small items, but now
he has learned to use pets to please him.
Looking at Qing Yun’s indifferent appearance, Ning Qianyuan immediately added,
“I have taken good care of it. Knowing that you have a cleanliness issue, I
cleaned it well, and I have also cleaned up the upstairs guest room to make sure
it’s spotless!”

Upon hearing that, Qing Yun was startled and looked up deep into Ning
Qianyuan’s eyes, “How do you know I have a cleanliness problem?”

He had never shown it too obviously, and Ning Qianyuan of this world shouldn’t
have known this.

“I…..” Ning Qianyuan let Qing Yun look at his heart beating wildly. He didn’t
know how he knew about it. This awareness was somehow imprinted in his mind,
and when he saw Qing Yun, it automatically surfaced again.

The dog in his arms began to struggle, Ning Qianyuan’s brain twitched, and
there was no control over his mouth: “But……probably got it confused with
someone else!”

“Someone else?”

Fine.

Qing Yun gritted his teeth, the slight joy in his heart caused by the man’s slightly
recovered memory suddenly dissipated without a trace.

Ning Qianyuan subconsciously wanted to explain but was too ashamed as he was
still a first brother at that age, so he decisively switched topics, “Which script did
you talk about before? I’ll look at it for you.” [T/N: Beginner, novice. Newbie in
love]

Qing Yun looked at him coldly and handed over the script.
After flipping through it for a while, Ning Qianyuan knew what Qing Yun’s
problem was. The two roles that Qing Yun has played recently were both
powerful. As a supporting role, this was normal, and the sorrow behind the
strength was more likely to pierce the audience’s heart.

But the lead role that Qing Yun took on this time was that of a thief, a thief who
could use any means to achieve his goals. With Qing Yun’s arrogant personality,
it must be difficult for him to understand this role.

Ning Qianyuan thought about it. Instead of directly explaining the script to Qing
Yun, he said, “I can’t directly tell you the scene according to my understanding.
Otherwise, you won’t be acting out your role, but mine. To help you understand
the role, I’ll find another script for you to try out.”

With that, Ning Qianyuan got up and went to his study to pick out a script for
Qing Yun. As he pulled out a copy and was about to leave, he suddenly turned
around and glanced at another bookshelf. Not only did Ning Qianyuan’s study
contain scripts he had acted in, but there were also some scripts that he thought
were good but hadn’t acted in for other reasons.

Ning Qianyuan slowly walked towards that bookshelf and pulled out the script
that had made him stop. There were many reasons why he hadn’t acted in other
films. Perhaps it was a scheduling conflict, or maybe it was a conflict with the
director’s understanding of the character, but this volume wasn’t one of those
objective reasons.

Ning Qianyuan abandoned it in the first place because the……scale was too large.

His heart was pounding happily in his chest, and he could barely control his arms.
He thought……that this role was a crossover with the part that Qing Yun was
going to play……
Qing Yun took the script handed to him by Ning Qianyuan, and just two pages
into it, his face stiffened. He almost wanted to slap this script onto Ning
Qianyuan’s dog face.

He thought that this man had finally become a pure lover this time, but he didn’t
expect that his bones were still full of yellow waste. [T/N: R18 stuff]

This script was surprisingly large in scale, and it was also the script of a bastard
scum attack.

As if he didn’t notice Qing Yun’s face, he explained the plot to him in a serious
manner: “Try the protagonist, whose childhood sweetheart cheated on him and
left, and who has always relied on him. What do you think? If it were you, what
would you do to get your lover back?”

“Heh.” Qing Yun smirked, answering without hesitation.

“Castrate him.”

Ning Qianyuan instantly felt a chill in his crotch.

Chapter 46

The atmosphere between the two was “just right”, yet their fans were
inexplicably at each other’s throats.

Ever since “Seal the Sky” started airing, Qing Yun has finally gained a wave of
die-hard fans, though many of these fans have been brought over from the
original fans of “Seal the Sky”. The composition of Qing Yun’s fans is actually
very complicated. Including the original “Seal the Sky” fans, there are also the
Face fans flocking from all corners. There is even a part of the fans from Ning
Qianyuan’s side.

After Qing Yun’s fan base grew, fans began to give their group a name. Because
some of Qing Yun’s videos and current works are full of a sense of royalty, his
fans often dubbed him as “Qing Wang“, so it was suggested that the fan base be
called “Wang Fei“. [T/N: King Qing, Princess]

The proposal poked at Ning Qianyuan’s fans, whose nickname was “Ai Fei“. [T/N:
Concubine, Beloved Concubine]

Although Ning Qianyuan’s fans fighting force is not generally strong, and though
they have been quiet for five years, it is these five years that they have
accumulated an unknown amount of energy. Once they were provoked, they all
blasted over towards Qing Yun and his fans.

Although Qing Yun’s fans are weak, they are not willing to back down. They feel
that they have already given enough respect to the senior movie emperor Ning
Qianyuan, whose nickname among his fans is “Emperor”, while Qing Yun is just
“Qing Wang”, so how did they provoke them?

The two fandoms were tearing each other apart. Even passersby were aware of
the storm of disagreement between the two.

It is reasonable to say that Qing Yun’s small fan base won’t last much longer,
but suddenly, a few rich and powerful tycoons have sprung up in Qing Yun’s fans.
If Qing Yun paid attention to this matter, he would have discovered that the man
under his Weibo account was one of the men who threatened him that night –
Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye V: Bullshit, my Qing Yun still needs to rub off the heat of your outdated
movie star?

Zhou Ye V: Hehe, is it still hot? I’m afraid it’s a bit cold!

Zhou Ye V: Qing Xiaoyun Qing Wang is the best! [Flower delivery] [Flower
delivery]

Zhou Ye has several fans online because of his rich second generation persona.
His attention to Qing Yun immediately aroused the curiosity of Qing Yun’s fans.

This person does not know if he has some masochistic tendencies, but after
being beaten by Qing Yun that night, he has somehow worshipped Qing Yun. Of
course, this worship is accompanied by fear. After all, Qing Yun gave spiritual
implications to the people that night.

He gradually began to pay attention to Qing Yun and later turned into the most
avid fan of Qing Yun. He directly started many comments under Qing Yun’s
Weibo and even sold meng, begging for more.

Because Zhou Ye is also the boss of an entertainment company, his behavior

immediately aroused the interest of Qing Yun’s fans, who flocked to his Weibo to
tease him.

“President Zhou, do you have a crush on our Qing Yun, hahaha!”

“I, Qing Wang, am truly worthy, with fans across all levels.”

Of course, some people maliciously speculated whether there was some

improper relationship between Zhou Ye and Qing Yun.

Such comments, at once, scared the hell out of Zhou Ye. That night, the scene
of kneeling on the ground and calling Dad was still vivid in his mind. Zhou Ye did
not dare to indulge in such comments and immediately sent a lawyer’s letter to
each of them. He seriously stated that he was just a fan of Qing Yun.

The key point is that Zhou Ye’s behavior influenced the other four men who were
also beaten up. These men were not as bold as Zhou Ye, but they were afraid
that they would fall out of favor with him, so they ran to Qing Yun’s Weibo page,
clicked “Like,” and ran away.

Their attitude was like: I like you very much, but I’m too shy to talk……

Qing Yun’s fans picked them up after this behavior. At the same time, their cute
hearts trembled, and also felt that their idol is really remarkable. He even
attracted five bosses, five ah!

“Emmmm, no one is questioning my Qing Wang’s name at last, right? Even

these domineering presidents kneel under my Qing Wang’s pants.”

“Suddenly, I feel that the name Qing Wang is not powerful enough. Why don’t
we pick another one?”

“Just call him the CEO Harvester!”

The name “CEO Harvester” followed Qing Yun like this.

Perhaps it’s because of this name, but soon after, a small account called “I’m the
CEO” also followed Qing Yun.

It was even more local than Zhou Ye in the fanbase, but because it was only an
uncertified account and the intensity of its dislike towards Ning Qianyuan’s fans
wasn’t as strong as Zhou Ye’s, all it said was, “How do you know your idol
doesn’t like Qing Yun?” and “How do you know your idol doesn’t want to give
him his spot?” Therefore, it didn’t attract much attention from Qing Yun fans.

A certain movie star who still has idol baggage on his sleeve is depressed.

Qing Yun was stunned when he found out about the storm. He thought that
those men would hide away when they were afraid, but he didn’t expect that
Zhou Ye would be so good at it.

Looking through the comments under his own microblog, Qing Yun hooked his
lips with interest and rewarded Zhou Ye’s Weibo account with a follow.

This move made Zhou Ye jump around more happily and caused Ning Qianyuan
to feel sour in his heart. He is the boss of Qing Yun, a famous film emperor, and
as a result……he(QY) has not even paid attention to him.

Seeing the lost look of the man beside him, Qing Yun maliciously hooked the
corner of his mouth.

During the filming of Druid 2, Qing Yun has been studying acting with Ning
Qianyuan. It must be said that although Ning Qianyuan often carries private
goods and is barely a good teacher, Qing Yun’s acting skills have improved
rapidly during this period. Even Hilde was surprised.

The filming of Druid 2 has been completed, and after the banquet, Qing Yun
went back with Ning Qianyuan. Although the film has been finished, the
“teaching” between the two is still not done. The script has only been acted
halfway.
“This scene is about the cheating lover coming back for the first time, so you
have to do everything you can to keep him, understand?” As Ning Qianyuan tells
Qing Yun about the play, he recalls the second half of the act and gets slightly
excited.

Qing Yun sat across from him and stared at him coldly, feeling an unprecedented
surge of annoyance.

This man was too shameless, but he still acted like a serious person. These days
of acting up to this point, Qing Yun has almost grasped the character’s essence.
This character is too single-minded, so he pours his heart into his lover. When
he learns that his lover has cheated on him, his first reaction is not revenge but
how to get the person back.

This is a man who loves so much that he has no dignity.

But how could Qing Yun, someone with high self-esteem, not be annoyed that he
has to perform this kind of grievance?

“No, I don’t like this scene. Change the script.” He said as he raised his chin
arrogantly towards Ning Qianyuan. His expression was wilful, clearly not
immersed in the play at all.

“In fact, the similarity between this role and the one you’re going to take on in a
few days is in this scene. The previous ones are all just preparation, so if you
give up, all your previous efforts will be in vain.” Ning Qianyuan earnestly
persuaded Qing Yun.

Hearing that, Qing Yun had a rare hesitation. He could subtly sense what Ning
Qianyuan was talking about, so he knew that Ning Qianyuan wasn’t lying to him.

But that was it; Qing Yun felt even angrier in his heart.
What does that mean? It shows that Ning Qianyuan planned it from the
beginning when he chose the script, preferring to put this mind-bending twist
into this drama.

Qing Yun gave him a cold look but still agreed.

“Alright then, let’s start now.”

Ning Qianyuan stood up and faced the door of the room, making a pose to leave,
“I just came to get something.”

His voice was indifferent, but listening carefully, he seemed to be suppressing a

bit of affection.

It was this bit of affection that entangled the already hopeful man.

“Don’t……don’t go!” In an instant, Qing Yun buried himself in his back and
wrapped his arms tightly around his waist. The trembling words with a plea were
seductive as they were read by Qing Yun’s unusually beautiful voice.

Ning Qianyuan’s throat tightened, barely able to restrain his impulses. Though
the role he was currently playing really didn’t require restraint.

He turned slightly and reached out to gently embrace Qing Yun.

In fact, all Qing Yun had to do in this scene was to use all his strength to seduce
the man in front of him. He was so angry that he cursed in his heart, but he had
to act so humble that he had to beg on the surface.
In the end, Qing Yun managed to pull the man down onto the couch, and the
heat in the house climbed up instantly.

Although it was an act, and although the lines were spoken from a script, the
kiss was real, and so was the touch.

It was only when Qing Yun’s sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a torn package of
Dur*x tossed to the side that he finally couldn’t endure the drama. He fiercely
gripped the man’s hair: “Acting? Do you have to take that with you when you
act?”

“No more acting! No more acting, baby……I can’t help it……”

The man’s heavy breathing sounded in Qing Yun’s ears.

“F*ck off……Mmm!”

The two ended up not acting out this scene, but their play kept going, from the
living room to the bedroom to the bathroom.

The next morning, Ning Qianyuan opened his eyes to the sunshine. He
subconsciously took hold of the person next to him. However, a stretch of the
hand touched the empty space.

Ning Qianyuan, with messy hair, sat up with a start. He looked around but
couldn’t see Qing Yun, and panic gradually spread to the entire heart.

Is he mad at me for not controlling myself last night? Didn’t he want me?
The fear in his heart made Ning Qianyuan’s hands and feet cold. He got up and
was about to make a phone call to Qing Yun. Then, he saw a note on the pillow
beside him, with three words written in a clear and elegant font on the paper:
short and quick.

Ning Qianyuan’s face immediately turned green. Last night, he obviously tried
very hard……and that’s not what Qing Yun said at the time. But now he’s running
away after sleeping again? Ning Qianyuan almost wanted to grab his head
against the ground. Still, the three belittling words also made him strangely calm.

Fortunately, he was prepared in advance.

On the other side, Qing Yun was about to get off the plane and couldn’t resist a
light yawn.

He Lan reminded him with a cold face, “Pull up your collar a little higher and
cover up. There will be fans to receive you later.”

She wondered in her mind who the person beside Qing Yun was these two times.
Looking at the marks on the body, there is no guarantee that it is even a person.
There are tooth marks and hickeys, and the bruises are really frightening. He
Lan was distressed to see this.

Qing Yun was not willing to say, so it must be a person with a deep background.
Otherwise, how can Qing Yun with his pride bear this without saying anything?

The point is that He Lan has been following Qing Yun for the past two days and
hasn’t seen anyone suspicious ah! Besides, with President Ning watching, there
shouldn’t be anyone who dares to touch Sheng Shi’s star like this. He Lan can’t
help but look worse the more he thinks about it.

Qing Yun did get a little tired. His legs even drifted a little when he got off the
plane. Ning Qianyuan in bed is really too wild. The stupidity during the day
became straightforward at night, making Qing Yun not even have the strength to
refuse.

In fact, he had originally scheduled his return to China a little later than now. It
was Qing Yun’s quick decision to return today to get rid of that stupid Ning Qian
Yuan.

He had just taken a few steps when he heard someone call his name, screaming
in a voice that was exceptionally piercing but contained a lot of excitement. Qing
Yun subconsciously looked towards where the sound came from and saw many
fans holding signs to receive him.

This was the first time Qing Yun had been so outrightly liked by so many people,
and couldn’t help but pull a slight smile towards that side.

“Ahhhh! So beautiful in real life!”

“Oh God, smile at me, smile at me, I’m going to faint!”

“It really is a feast for the eyes!”

It was only after Qing Yun had left for quite a while that the commotion slowly
subsided. His fans shared today’s photos with the group of people who were
unable to receive the plane. There was strength in numbers, and some found
something wrong after a look……

“Fuck, why is there a hickey on the side of Qing Yun’s ear!”

“What is it? There really is!”

Fans took a closer look, and indeed, in one photo, a small red mark was found at
the base of Qing Yun’s ear, which was mostly covered by the collar.

“Don’t be nervous; it could be a mosquito bite. Qing Yun went to shoot “Druid 2″

in the tropical jungle a lot; it is possible to be bitten.”

“Hmmm, and it could also be an allergy or something like that, calm down, calm
down.”

Fans were making easy and acceptable excuses for themselves.

A particular movie star who was peeping at the screen couldn’t help but ask
secretly, “If Qing Yun was really with someone, would you be able to accept it?”

The group immediately exploded because of that one sentence.

“Of course not!”

“My Qing Wang is so beautiful. How can he be taken advantage of by those

demonic sl*ts out there?”

“Absolutely unacceptable, Qing Yun is either mine or everyone’s.”

Because this group of fans were attracted by Qing Yun’s face in the first place,
everyone wanted to keep beautiful things for themselves, so they couldn’t stand
anyone other than themselves to get their hands on it.

Ning Qianyuan could only knock his head in frustration as he looked at the
opposing comments that kept popping up in the group. It seemed that even if he
got together with Qing Yun, he wouldn’t be able to make it public. He’s not
afraid of anything; after all, what happens in the showbiz world basically doesn’t
affect him much, but Qing Yun is still just starting and can’t afford too much
trouble.

He Lan sent Qing Yun to the hotel next to the set. She had also finally made up
her mind and asked Qing Yun seriously, “Tell me the truth, is this time the same
as the last one?”

“Hmm.” Qing Yun nodded and looked at her, clearly confused as to why she was
suddenly asking.

Sure enough! He Lan’s gaze was stern, then spoke in a bit of a bad tone, “I’ve
been staring at you for so long, so I know you must not be in a relationship. Is
this man from the last time you met Director Li at an event?”

Qing Yun found a more comfortable position to lean on the bed and put a pillow
under his waist. He opened the script and returned He Lan’s words carelessly:
“It was that time we met.”

He Lan was even angrier with this series of actions, “This man knew you had a
plane to catch today and tormented you so much last night, obviously not a
good person! Don’t be afraid, tell me exactly which one it is. Now, you’re doing
well, and with a little effort, you’ll be on the top tier, and the company will
definitely protect you.”

“If it really doesn’t work, let the president do it. Didn’t those five guys stop last
time?”

He Lan said this to Qing Yun because, in her heart, Qing Yun is still soft and cute.
This appearance was obviously being bullied by someone. Although she is an
ordinary agent and has little ability, it is still possible to discuss with the
company.
“Just tell me what his name is.”

“Oh.” Qing Yun looked up at the exceptionally serious He Lan, his dark eyes
flashed with a hint of mischief, “His name is Ning Qianyuan.”

“Okay, Ning Qianyuan, right, I remember.” After saying that, He Lan rushed to
go out, obviously going to call the company. As soon as she took her phone out,
she suddenly froze and stared at Qing Yun, “You, you, you said the name is Ning,
what?”

“Ning Qianyuan.”

“……” He Lan was frozen, and only after a while did she take a sharp breath back
to her senses. She looked at Qing Yun sympathetically, “This……is not that sister
doesn’t want to help you, ahem, you can forget what I just said er.”

He Lan awkwardly walked out. She really didn’t expect this person to be Ning
Qianyuan. Blame it on the fact that Ning Qianyuan was too serious in front of
outsiders. He Lan didn’t even think that it was the cold boss of their company
who left traces on Qing Yun’s body in such a fierce manner.

Ning Qianyuan has been close to Qing Yun these days. His attitude has changed
from his previous “fierce” attitude in China to a much more gentle one. He even
has a feeling of obedience to Qing Yun.

The two of them even rolled into bed, which is more like falling in love than
having an illicit relationship, okay?

Before Qing Yun returned to China, the news of his participation in “Druid 2” had
been officially released, which made Qing Yun’s fans straighten their backs
despite their disbelief. This directly manifested in the dislike of Ning Qianyuan’s
fans even more.
However, some of the fans of Ning Qianyuan have figured out why their
Emperor’s first Weibo action in so many years was to give a like to Qing Yun and
then canceled it. The movie that he is going to act in is also related to Qing Yun.

This is either because Qing Yun is a mascot, or there is something fishy going
on……!

This set of high profile cp, I want to eat.

As a result, while the two’s fandom happily pinches each other, a handful of cp
fans survive in the cracks and grow slowly.

Qing Yun’s popularity continued to climb, with some hints of surpassing Bai
Xiyan, especially after the news of his participation in Druid 2 was released. This
put Bai Xiyan under extreme pressure, as he knew that by the time Druid 2 aired,
Qing Yun would become even more popular.

Speaking of Qing Yun’s popularity, it should have nothing to do with Bai Xiyan
because he’s been moving along at a steady pace since his rebirth. However, it
was because Bai Xiyan used Qing Yun’s situation to indicate how good or bad his
life had been since he was reborn, which made him feel exceptionally tired.

Bai Xiyan, who has been self-abusing himself by snooping around every day for
news about Qing Yun, even thought of getting plastic surgery. If he looked as
good as Qing Yun, would he be able to get offers for big productions with ease?
To gain Ning Qianyuan’s favor?

But Bai Xiyan couldn’t go this way because he started out as a hardworking and
patient actor. His fans were proud of him and felt that Bai Xiyan was more than
a class above those actors who rely on their faces.

If Bai Xiyan suddenly got plastic surgery, what would his fans think of him? Will
all the popularity he’s built up since his rebirth be wasted?
When Bai Xiyan returned home today, Deng Yunqi was still at work, and the
place was unusually quiet.

Yes, he and Deng Yunqi had moved in together. It was Bai Xiyan’s request as
the changes in people and things around Qing Yun made him extremely panicked.
The only one who could give him comfort was Deng Yunqi.

Bai Xiyan tiredly lay down on the bed but suddenly felt something underneath
him. He got up and looked. There was a picture frame under the pillow, and half
of it was exposed. It was exactly what he had just laid on top of.

Bai Xiyan frowned and picked it up to put it aside, but when he saw the contents
of the picture frame, Bai Xiyan was suddenly stunned.

The picture was not a photo at all, but a corner cut out of some magazine. The
beautiful side profile of the youth on it was extremely eye-catching.
Chapter 47

This simple piece of paper was still carefully packed into the picture frame.
Obviously, the owner of this picture frame cherished this piece of paper and this
particular youth.

Bai Xiyan’s hands couldn’t help but tremble. Then, the trembling slowly spread
throughout his body as he stared at the photo frame, his eyes even bursting
with blood. Suddenly, Bai Xiyan threw the picture frame away in his hands and
searched frantically through the house.

Bai Xiyan didn’t miss any hidden corners, and he found quite a few things in his
search.

Magazines, posters, and other miscellaneous things, all of which were about
Qing Yun. These were usually hidden in the company by Deng Yunqi, and if it
weren’t for the fact that Bai Xiyan hadn’t been home for more than half a month
this time, Deng Yunqi wouldn’t have brought these things home.

Bai Xiyan’s eyes were simply unable to shed a single tear as he looked at these
things. He initially thought that the only one on his side was Deng Yunqi, but he
was actually so madly infatuated with Qing Yun……

These things were practically the last straw for Bai Xiyan, who slumped on the
ground. But after a brief period of pain, Bai Xiyan’s heart was filled with
confusion.

Now he had even lost Deng Yunqi?

Deng Yunqi……what about Deng Yunqi? What did Deng Yunqi bring him but
betrayal? Resources? How could Deng Yunqi give him as much as what Ning
Qianyuan could give Qing Yun?

“Hahahaha……” Bai Xiyan laughed wildly with red eyes. The betrayal started with
you.
He thought so, and there was even a great relief in his heart.

Bai Xiyan tremblingly picked up his phone and dialed a number, “Hello, Brother
Wei? Earlier, you said that Mr. Wang invited me to dinner. I have agreed.”

Hanging up the phone, Bai Xiyan was unusually calm. He knew what he would
face after this meal, but he didn’t regret it.

Didn’t Qing Yun’s current success come from climbing Ning Qianyuan’s bed?

“Just die! I’m your agent, aren’t I? Can you discuss something with me in
advance?” Li Qing was roaring in a manic rage again. He felt like he had been
shouting more in the last few days than he had in the previous five years, “I’m
your agent, so how come I didn’t know you’ve taken on other roles?”

As the object of Li Qing’s rage, Ning Qianyuan was instead swiping at his phone
like nothing was wrong.

“I thought we were supposed to make a comeback in Druid 2? Why did you take
on another web series and play a supporting role? Can’t you be a little self-
conscious for a movie star?” Li Qing was about to explode. At this time, Ning
Qianyuan suddenly informed him that he had taken on a web series and the
filming schedule was just around the corner.

These kinds of web series have always been filmed as they are aired, and it will
be a while before Druid 2 is released. In other words, Ning Qianyuan, the movie
star, is going to have to run to a web series to show his face before he makes
his comeback on the big screen in an international production.
The role he picked was a supporting character and not just a cameo. Li Qing is
now worried about explaining to the outside world why Ning Qianyuan, the film
emperor, has suddenly taken a supporting role in a web drama.

Ning Qianyuan originally just wanted to give Qing Yun a surprise. He contacted
the director of Qing Yun’s web series “Stealing the Heavens” in advance and took
the role of a character who interacts with Qing Yun quite a bit. As for informing
Li Qing in advance? Ning Qianyuan didn’t even think about it. If Li Qing knew
about it, he would have released the news long ago. Would this still be a
surprise for him?

Now……it’s not like a surprise, but rather a way for him to block people.

Seeing that Li Qing was really annoyed, Ning Qianyuan just then opened his
mouth with great compassion. “It’s Valentine’s Day in two days, so put out the
word that I’ve made a cameo role in Stealing the Heavens as a gift for everyone.”

Valentine’s Day? Upon hearing this, Li Qing suddenly understood Ning

Qianyuan’s intention of picking up this drama and scowled.

He had forgotten in his haste that Qing Yun had also taken over the drama.

Helplessly following Ning Qianyuan’s instructions to make an announcement, Li

Qing couldn’t help but silently slander him in his heart.

Ning Qianyuan arrived at the set of Stealing the Heavens with great anticipation
but was shaken by the scene he saw.

A woman in a dark red dress stood with her back to him. Her waterfall-like black
hair hung straight down with only a slightly ambiguous and wicked curl at the
tips. It was an unfamiliar backside, yet those long, smooth, and white legs gave
Ning Qianyuan a full sense of familiarity.
It was because it was only the night before that he had kissed every inch of
these legs.

Ning Qianyuan’s arrival immediately caused a commotion. The director, who was
initially staring around the beauty, immediately rubbed his hands and ran over,
“Mr. Ning, you came so early!”

With the director’s words, the person standing with his back to Ning Qianyuan
also slightly turned his body sideways. A pair of upturned peach blossom eyes
looked over at him, and the dark eyes seemed to swirl with a light wine red color.
It was as intoxicating as a fine wine.

Ning Qianyuan completely ignored the director, who ran to his side. His eyes
were filled with Qing Yun, who was different from his usual self. Ning Qianyuan’s
breathing gradually became heavier, and a strange redness rose from the base
of his ears, slowly spreading upwards.

Li Qing, who was standing by the side, saw that the situation was not right and
immediately parted the surrounding crowd. He escorted Ning Qianyuan to the
dressing room: “Excuse me, everyone, please make way. Qianyuan just got off
the plane a little tired, let him take a break.”

As soon as they heard that Ning Qianyuan was tired, the surrounding people
immediately dispersed, allowing him to freely enter his own exclusive dressing
room.

After closing the room’s door, only then did Li Qing finally let out a sigh of relief
and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

As soon as he turned his head and saw Ning Qianyuan sitting on the chair with a
dreamy face, Li Qing became furious and pointed at Ning Qianyuan. “Damn,
you’re at least a movie emperor. Can’t you exercise some restraint at a time like
this? Look at you; if I hadn’t reacted in time, you would have been embarrassed.”
Saying that, Li Qing’s voice also slowed down, and when he remembered Qing
Yun’s costume just now, Li Qing couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

Damn, he’s a straight man, but he almost couldn’t help but bend……

As soon as he was somewhat distracted, Li Qing felt two cold beams of vision
and turned his head in a flash. As expected, he saw Ning Qianyuan looking at
him coldly.

“I’m straight, straight, straight! So I have no thoughts about Qing Yun, no

thoughts……” Li Qing immediately waved his hand to explain.

It was only then that Ning Qianyuan grunted as he stood up. The reactions in his
body had subsided down by now. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had eaten
enough the night before, he probably wouldn’t have calmed down so quickly at
this point.

Remembering that glimpse of Qing Yun earlier, Ning Qianyuan felt his nose heat
up again. He hurriedly covered his nose and tilted his head to avoid
embarrassment. Ning Qianyuan had read the script of “Stealing the Heavens”, so
of course, he knew that Qing Yun had a female costume in this drama. However,
he was still astonished when he really saw it.

But……is nice to look at, it’s just so underdressed that this outfit should only be
worn for him!

After pouring two more bottles of ice water in the dressing room, Ning Qianyuan
steadied himself and walked out.

Outside, the director talked to Qing Yun, and immediately stood up when he saw
Ning Qianyuan: “Hello, Mr. Ning, have you rested? We’ll start shooting after the
break?”
It’s no wonder the director is being too flattering. How can he be rude when Ning
Qianyuan is a big movie star and brings money into the team?

Ning Qianyuan nodded with a serious face, but was secretly grinding all over to
Qing Yun’s side, and whispered with a pleasing tone: “Were you tired the day
before yesterday? I didn’t know you had a flight the next morning……”

“You wouldn’t do it if you knew?” Qing Yun ripped off the not-so-honest hand
behind him.

“Not do it!” Ning Qianyuan nodded unusually firmly. He saw Qing Yun’s face
soften a bit, so he couldn’t help but rub over again to invite favor, “Were you
surprised to see me on the set?”

“No surprise.” Qing Yun gave him a sideways glance and said slowly, “I’ve seen
everything you wrote on your schedule.”

Ning Qianyuan’s face stiffened. He always had the habit of keeping track of his
agenda, but he didn’t expect that Qing Yun would see it. The Great Movie
Emperor Ning collapsed for the first time, reflecting in his heart whether he
really was a bit stupid for messing up such a small surprise.

Looking at the man’s obviously disappointed face, Qing Yun smiled inwardly,
admiring it for a long while before touching the man’s hanging fingers.

With just this one small movement, Ning Qianyuan immediately came back full
of life. His ears perked up, and the invisible dog’s tail behind him wagged happily.

Li Qing, who was silently keeping a lookout for the two behind, covered his face
with a miserable expression at the sight. He suddenly felt that Ning Qianyuan
was absolutely hopeless this time.
“Well, since Mr. Ning is here, this first scene of the opening definitely cannot be
without you!” The director came over to speak to the two men about the play.

Qing Yun plays a thief in this drama who can steal anything as long as they can
afford his expensive hiring fee. In this, his target is the daughter of an Asian
Ship King. For this purpose, he goes out of his way to dress up as a woman and
enter the luxury ship where his target is.

Ning Qianyuan plays the bodyguard hired by the Ship King for his daughter.
Although he acts like a playboy, he is, in fact, a calculating man and fights
against Qing Yun, who seduces him. In the end, he succeeds in securing the
daughter of the Ship King. Just as he congratulates himself on his victory, the
Ship King discovers that the necklace around his daughter’s neck is missing and
becomes furious.

Only then did Ning Qianyuan realize that the Ship King’s call for him to protect
his daughter was just a cover. What he really wanted to protect was the token
around her neck that would activate all of his assets. And what Qing Yun was
trying to steal was precisely that.

Here, Ning Qianyuan appeared to be successful but actually lost. However, Qing
Yun’s next business began again……

In this drama, as the object of Qing Yun’s seduction, Ning Qianyuan has
anticipated the difficulties he will face, as he must act out his own defensiveness,
competitiveness, and secret infatuation with Qing Yun. Still, he didn’t expect the
director to choose the most explosive scene to start with.

The scene is where the identity of Qing Yun as a thief is revealed, and he comes
face to face with Ning Qianyuan in a battle.

On the cold and windy overpass, Qing Yun held a gun in his hand and slowly
approached Ning Qianyuan, who was standing in the middle. He walked on high
heels of more than ten centimeters. He still had that charm on his face, but a
hint of coldness was revealed.

“Hey, baby, before you jump into my arms, can you throw away the toy you’re
holding?” With messy hair and a cynical smile on his face, Ning Qianyuan slowly
opened his arms towards Qing Yun.

He is an excellent actor. He has perfectly integrated his own infatuation with

Qing Yun into the role and has shown the playboy’s provocative side to the
fullest.

Qing Yun, who was opposite him, did not fall into a weak position at all with the
aura he unleashed. His performance even caused a hint of surprise to appear in
Ning Qianyuan’s eyes.

Previously, Ning Qianyuan was afraid that Qing Yun would not be able to act the
role by any means necessary, but now he found that Qing Yun had given the
part a new meaning. He wasn’t just an unscrupulous thief, but also a thief who
dared to say that he was incredibly proud of Stealing the Heavens. For him,
there was only the goal of his mission, and no one and nothing else could enter
his eyes.

Qing Yun’s perfect blend of this character’s pride and ruthlessness and the
ultimate charm made this character even more alluring.

Qing Yun spat out a feminine voice that had no contradiction to his current outfit:
“Toy? You want to try it?”

The cold wind blew away Qing Yun’s hair on the forehead. He pretended to be
naive and tilted his head towards the man in front of him. The original charming
devil suddenly revealed a hint of innocence that made people involuntarily
stunned.

Taking advantage of the man’s momentary daze, Qing Yun didn’t hesitate to
shoot. Unexpectedly, the man in front of him dodged the bullet with a cunning
smile. He flew forward directly to embrace the beauty’s waist. He brought the
person into the arms but also smoothly took the gun in Qing Yun’s hands.

“Darling, a soft hand like yours shouldn’t be holding something so dangerous,

eh?”

Before Ning Qianyuan’s face showed a proud smile, his body suddenly flew up in
an over-the-shoulder throw to the ground by the “woman” in his arms. The gun
in his hands was also snatched back.

The man’s face, which had been confident of his success, finally showed a trace
of surprise. This is by no means the strength that an ordinary woman could have.

In the next second, the sharp heels were stuck directly on his neck.

Qing Yun was looking at him condescendingly. The curled section of her hair
shifting lightly before Ning Qianyuan’s eyes, and her feet were slowly applying
force.

Ning Qianyuan’s face reddened from lack of oxygen, but the expression on his
face did not change, and even hung a cheap smile. He made an effort to take a
look at the bottom of Qing Yun’s skirt, and strained his voice to ridicule:
“Surprisingly……it’ s white, I thought……you like……black lace……”

Looking at the actions of the man beneath his feet, Qing Yun finally turned cold,
and he spoke, “Black lace is better left for you to wear.”

It was no longer disguised. The crisp, clean male voice sounded up, matching
Qing Yun’s current somewhat seductive and even cute face, and it was
indescribably strange.
Ning Qianyuan immediately opened his eyes wide and stretched out his hand to
point at Qing Yun, unable to speak properly. “You, you, you, are a man?!”

The beauty who has been seducing and flirting with him for so many days and
was so close to having sex with him is actually a man? He just looked under a
man’s skirt?

Responding to him, Ning Qianyuan was kicked directly off the overpass by Qing
Yun. As he fell, he roared out in mid-air, “F*ck! My first love!”

“Cut!” The director’s voice finally sounded, and over there, Ning Qianyuan was
also hoisted safely to the ground.

The director looked at the scene in front of him repeatedly with great satisfaction.
The clash between the two was exactly the effect he wanted. He flipped back to
the scene where Ning Qianyuan found out that Qing Yun was a man and couldn’t
help but cover his mouth and let out a perverted laugh.

I wonder how viewers will react when this episode airs, and they watch Qing Yun
reveal his real voice?

After a few more scenes, the crew called it a day when the night fell.

Qing Yun went to change his clothes, and a certain man followed him in again
with familiarity. This time, although Ning Qianyuan was nervous, he did not
hesitate and directly embraced Qing Yun.

“Can you……” Despite the difficulty of enduring while filming, Ning Qianyuan had
absolutely no guts to do anything else. Instead, he asked in a low voice, “Can
you tell me before you go? Otherwise, I’m afraid that you will suddenly not want
me. “
It was only now that Ning Qianyuan had spoken his heart entirely out to Qing
Yun.

He was truly afraid that Qing Yun didn’t want him, so much so that the arm
holding Qing Yun was trembling a little.

From the very beginning, when he first saw Qing Yun, the panic that seemed to
be engraved in his bones made Ning Qianyuan feel overwhelmed. He didn’t know
how to face this kind of emotion, so he subconsciously covered it up, and the
more he spoke, the more mistakes he made.

Ning Qianyuan knew that he had a bad personality. When facing other people,
he could pretend even if he relied on his unparalleled acting skills. Still, when
facing Qing Yun, he couldn’t disguise it and could only make the most clumsy
cover-ups.

“Did I ever want you?” Qing Yun turned his head to look at him. A pair of eyes
that seemed devoid of any emotion looked straight into Ning Qianyuan’s eyes.

Because of his words, Ning Qianyuan subconsciously hugged Qing Yun tighter as
if to embed the person in his arms entirely into his body. His arms trembled
even more.

He held Qing Yun vigorously, but his face was blank as if Qing Yun’s words had
shattered the meaning of his existence.

“If I say I don’t want you, will you stop following me?” Qing Yun completely
turned around and looked at him quietly.

“No! No, no……you have to give me the right to pursue you……I……” Ning
Qianyuan subconsciously denied. He could not bear Qing Yun’s rejection, let
alone give up on him, and watch him go from there to a place beyond his reach.
This was the answer given from the depths of his soul, not just for this lifetime,
but for eternity.

Looking at the man who was trembling with panic, Qing Yun finally reached out
and gently wrapped his arms around him: “Stupid, isn’t that it? And……I didn’t
say I didn’t want you.”

Tremendous joy suddenly flooded into Ning Qianyuan’s heart, making him
unable to resist tightening his grip on the young man in his arms and rubbing
against his neck without a care in the world. “You agreed to me? You promise
me that, right?”

Li Qing and He Lan, who came to pick them up, stood outside the poorly
soundproofed changing room and looked into the air. They looked at each other,
speechless.

Can’t you find a safer place to confess your love?

Bai Xiyan jumped ship.

Ning Qianyuan was very unhappy when he found out the news because he
already knew about the conflict between Bai Xiyan and Qing Yun, and was
preparing to be an overbearing president for once, standing up for Qing Yun and
shutting the person down. In the end, someone compensated Bai Xiyan for the
breach of contract and directly signed the person away.

“Does he think he can jump whenever he wants? Stop it for me.” Ning
Qianyuan’s face was gloomy. In fact, after those five people went to intercept
Qing Yun last time, Ning Qianyuan secretly found out that Bai Xiyan was the one
operating behind the scenes. Since then, Bai Xiyan hadn’t had a good time in
Sheng Shi.
But that time, Ning Qianyuan went home and then was busy filming “Druid 2”,
so he didn’t do much to beat Bai Xiyan. After all, Bai Xiyan was still popular. It
would be terrible if he accidentally let him direct bad public opinion on Qing Yun.

The well-behaved Ning Qianyuan saw Qing Yun next to him and immediately
moved over to show his loyalty. “He messed with you. I won’t let him have it
easy.”

“Yeah?” Qing Yun swept over him coldly. Ning Qianyuan’s words instantly
reminded him of the original plot of this world. Ning Qianyuan, at that time, was
also trying to please Bai Xiyan and blocked the desperate Qing Yun.

However, following the original course, Ning Qianyuan did not make a sudden
comeback like this.

Ning Qianyuan let Qing Yun stare at him coldly, silently shutting his mouth and
not speaking again. He didn’t quite understand why Qing Yun’s temper was a bit
bad whenever he talked about the one surnamed Bai. But after the countless
times he had said the wrong thing before, Ning Qianyuan finally had some
awareness, and he somehow felt that it was better for him to not ask this
question.

Watching Ning Qianyuan shut up and behave himself, Qing Yun finally had the
mercy to squeeze his chin and pull the man closer. “Bai Xiyan wants to leave, so
let him go. Why do you still want to keep him here?”

“No, no, no! I have nothing to do with him, I’m just trying to vent for you!” Ning
Qianyuan explained with his hands wrapped around Qing Yun’s thin waist as he
buried his head into Qing Yun’s neck and gently rubbed against it.

After enjoying the man’s panicked appearance for a while in a relatively good
mood, Qing Yun then slowly pondered over the matter of Bai Xiyan. He said to
Ning Qianyuan, “Don’t interfere with Bai Xiyan’s affairs.”
Bai Xiyan hadn’t jumped to Deng Yunqi’s company, much less Zhou Ye’s, but
had instead gone to another company.

A bit of coldness slowly crept into his eyes, and the corners of Qing Yun’s lips
hooked slightly. He knew that his mission in this world was almost complete.

In fact, Qing Yun had left a trace of his consciousness on Bai Xiyan from the
start, monitoring the protagonist’s actions. Even more so when he was on the
set of Seal the Sky, he had gradually put pressure on Bai Xiyan, watching his
self-doubt slowly grow in his heart.

However, Deng Yunqi’s recent behavior was surprising to Qing Yun. He really
didn’t expect that man to fall for him to the point of causing Bai Xiyan’s madness.

But this was precisely what Qing Yun wanted.

Because Qing Yun will never let others steal from him, Bai Xiyan’s initial action
has touched his back. Even if it was just a hint of a thought, Qing Yun would
retaliate back a thousand times.

Before the showing of “Druid 2”, “Stealing the Heavens” had already aired.

The fans of Ning Qianyuan, who were waiting in front of their computers, were
screaming with excitement. After all, this was the first time in five years that
they had seen their Emperor in a production.

But Qing Yun’s fans were confused.

Didn’t they say that Qing Yun was the main character? How come they haven’t
seen him?

They continued to watch with a puzzled feeling.

Finally, a fan’s fiery eyes found where Qing Yun was. This fan was taken aback
as she looked at the beautiful woman on the screen and secretly laughed. She
also sent out a pop-up, “Don’t wonder where Qing Yun is, trust me, the one with
the highest face value in the whole drama is him.”

“Fuck, I thought I was wrong, it can’t really be ‘her’, right?”

“Ahhhh! I understood in seconds, my Qing Wang’s face value really transcends

gender!”

“Fortunately, fortunately, I thought I was going to bend. This big sister is too
charming!”

A group of people were screaming that they were going to bend.

Ning Qianyuan’s fans kind of understood now and were taken aback, “What?
That woman who was flirting with our Emperor is actually Qing Yun?”

Why does it somehow feel good?

The people who noticed it didn’t say another word. In contrast, those who didn’t
see it and those passersby who mistakenly entered were still immersed in Qing
Yun’s beauty.

“This young lady is so beautiful. What if I want to break up with my boyfriend?”

Some men couldn’t take their eyes off the charming beauty on TV and were
jealous of Ning Qianyuan’s good fortune.
The fans who already know the gender of this “beautiful woman” were secretly
laughing and looking forward to the moment when the truth is revealed.

When the episode on the overpass was played, Qing Yun’s crisp, masculine voice
cleared the entire screen, and the group of viewers crouched in front of the
screen seemed to vanish into thin air.

When Ning Qianyuan said, “F*ck, my first love!”, the screen burst into a series
of “hahahaha”.

However, this “Hahahaha” was instantly covered by a group of wails.

The screen was filled with Ning Qianyuan’s line. It seemed that a large group of
men had suddenly lost their love and were mourning. Some even said that they
had opened the door to a new world.

“It took so many years of living before I realized my sexual orientation was
wrong……”

“Fuck, I might be really bent. I actually didn’t feel moved at all at first when this
actor spoke in a female voice, but then when his real voice came out……cough
cough……”

“The brother upstairs, don’t leave, add me if you want to jump!”

“My Qing Yun’s female and male speaking voice is really so tempting. I was
clearly mentally prepared for the result, but I still got caught up!”

The pop-up screen wasn’t the craziest. An even more crazed storm erupted in
Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun’s cp group.
“I told you there was something fishy about these two. They are paired together
in the drama ahhhh!”

“Watching my nose bleed, the Emperor’s final wail was too funny.”

“Comrades, let’s be sensible and analyze it. The first time there was a movement

on His Majesty’s Weibo was to give my Qing Wang a compliment. The comeback
movie “Druid 2″ had Qing Wang in it, and this time he suddenly took on a web
drama, but it was still related to Qing Yun. True love, no doubt!”

This analysis made the two’s cp fans suddenly scream.

“I’ll bet a pack of spicy strips that the two characters in Druid 2 definitely have
close encounters!”

“I’ll bet five packs!”

Even other ‘only fans’ discovered the cute duo and climbed the wall to join the
army of cp fans. Though even if it grew a lot, they also know in their hearts that
these were mostly only fans. So no matter how careful they were, eventually,
the two sides of the already discordant fans once again fought.

“Ning Da Movie Emperor’s fans were attacking my Qing Wang in various ways
before, but now look at your beloved, isn’t he also infatuated?” This is how such
an obviously war-inducing comment appeared in the TV show’s pop-up, instantly
igniting a war between the two fans.

“Do you know what acting is? My Emperor is known for his acting skills, so a
certain person’s face should not be too big oh.”
“Heh, after five years of idleness, he returned to play a supporting role. He’s still
the Emperor, but be careful of someone seizing the throne.”

There were sarcastic comments from both sides, some even rising to the level of
personal attacks.

Bai Xiyan stared at the harsh words that filled the screen and eventually tugged
at the corners of his mouth to reveal a malicious smile. He already knew about
Ning Qianyuan’s relationship with Qing Yun. He thus was more than looking
forward to watching the fan wars on both sides, so that when they went public
with their relationship, how much of an obstacle would they face?

As for the question of whether the two would go public or not, that wasn’t on Bai
Xiyan’s mind because it wasn’t something the two could control themselves, was
it? Bai Xiyan put down the stack of photos in his hands, the dim light of the
computer screen shining on them, and the figures of the two men could be seen
faintly.

Right at this moment, Bai Xiyan’s phone rang. He answered it without even
thinking about it. His voice took on a different kind of sweetness: “It’s Director
Liu. I’m free today, good, I’ll change my clothes and go over later……”

Hanging up the phone, Bai Xiyan’s eyes still couldn’t hide the hint of humiliation
that flashed through them. He took a deep breath to calm his nerves and then
called Deng Yunqi, “Yunqi, I’m sorry, there was an event that was rescheduled,
so I still have to go out tonight.”

Here, Deng Yunqi didn’t show any loneliness on his face after hanging up the
phone with Bai Xiyan. Bai Xiyan was simply busier than him these days. Still, his
popularity was gradually rising, so Deng Yunqi wasn’t too doubtful.

Although Bai Xiyan often stayed out at night and his mind turned to a bad place
momentarily, the clean image Bai Xiyan always portrayed dispelled his doubts.
Due to the instigation of some people, Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan’s fans
became increasingly fierce. The cp fans saw that they could not control the
situation, so they simply let themselves go and began to promote the “cult”, and
even ridiculed the “Seizing of the throne” that someone had mentioned before.

“Oh my, aren’t you guys tired of making noise like this every day, come to our
group and have some food oh!”

“Stealing the Heavens” video clip, sweet as can be, take the resources yourself.”

“Ning Qing “Seizing the Throne”, the Emperor attacks and the Prince receives.
Abusive love, sprinkled with dog blood, currently ongoing……” [T/N: The so-
called “dog blood” refers to the plots that constantly appear and are imitated in
TV dramas.]

This wave of “propaganda” really diverted some fans’ attention as there was a
portion of the only fans who joined the ranks of the cp fans.

“Seizing the Throne” became even more popular, and a group of cp fans cried
out for more.

One day, however, “Seizing the Throne” was suddenly cut off, and the author
threw in a link to Weibo and escaped.

Author of “Seizing the Throne”: Oh my god, after watching this video, I can’t
write any more abuse stories, I’d better go eat sugar to death!

A bunch of angry cp fans clicked on the link to the video, which revealed that a
promo for Druid 2 had been released.

The promo for “Druid 2” follows the style of the first film, with great atmosphere,
realistic and grand special effects, and an intriguing plot that you can’t stop
watching, not to mention the return of Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun’s face value.
However, the video doesn’t end there, a tidbit of footage was released, and it
was the scene where Ning Qianyuan kneels down to Qing Yun 20 times.

Ning Qianyuan’s fans were stunned to see their Emperor repeatedly kneel down
to the aloof standing Qing Yun, with an expression of dog legs.

The video was also accompanied by background music. Every time Ning
Qianyuan fell on his knees, a heart-rending “forgive me” was heard, which
matched the expression of begging for forgiveness on his face.

Suddenly the comments under the official blog of “Druid 2” are all “hahahaha”.
In a short while, a large number of cp fans from “Seizing the Throne” transferred
over. Looking at this video, they understood the reason why the author
abandoned the story.

“Hey, the official is giving out sugar like this……”

“The “Seizing the Throne” side transferred over, indicating that……What need is
there for seizing the throne? On your knees!”

“Hahaha, His Majesty: Seizing the throne does not exist, I am willing to
surrender the kingdom to you, just for a smile from a beauty!”

“Follows upstairs, Qing Wang [arrogantly]: Hmm? Do I even need you to give
me what I want?”

“I’m an Emperor only fan……but to see the Emperor’s original aloof appearance
break and become so dog legs, why do I feel so happy……”
Some people even edited down the final tidbits, replacing the soundtrack with
music commonly used in marriage proposals, adding subtitles of true love
confessions. The cp fans were surprised to find that there was no contradiction.

After this, the two’s cp fans grew again. Although there are still fans of Ning
Qianyuan, who mouth off explaining that this is just what the plot requires and
that their Emperor was just a good actor.

However, when the “Druid 2” is released, and seeing how qualified this plot
really is, the fans who previously unwaveringly “believed” in Ning Qianyuan have
felt their faces hurt.

Fans who went to see “Druid 2” in a flurry of excitement discovered that the
movie was full of glass slag. [T/N: Used in films or novels, it means that the plot
is abused, and the content is generally described as a mouthful of glass slag]

Later, the audience discovered that the two of them were actually in love with
each other in the film. They watched Ning Qianyuan’s Lance lower his noble
head to the Oriental Immortal Xuan, played by Qing Yun, but his heart was
raised.

When they saw the two’s skin to skin contact, the audience finally couldn’t help
but cover their faces and scream. They watched the originally strong Xuan
slowly being affected by Lance, showing some softness. They were expecting the
two to reconcile sweetly, but suddenly the picture changed, and Xuan actually
gave up his life to save Lance’s people.

The audience’s emotions were shaken, but the film ends there, with a final shot
of Lance standing alone on top of the highest mountain, overlooking the
community and land the man left for him. He regains the nobility he had at the
beginning, but a profound loneliness permanently surrounds him.

Because he wasn’t there anymore.

The cp fans came in laughing and went out crying. They picked up their phones
and gave the movie a perfect review while going around promoting it: The movie
is so sweet, you’ll regret not watching it!

Solo abuse is not as good as mass abuse.

After watching the movie, another part of Ning Qianyuan only fans joined the cp
fans. After all, Lance’s ending was too sad.

The movie that Qing Yun participated in was released. Deng Yunqi took
advantage of Bai Xiyan’s absence to purchase a movie ticket. However, while
watching the film, he met a particular CEO who used to work with him.

The CEO didn’t say anything when he saw him and smiled, but Deng Yunqi
always felt uncomfortable with the man’s smile.

When the movie was over, the CEO who was about to leave with his female
companion turned to look at Deng Yunqi and had that strange smile once again.
“Mr. Deng, I got something interesting the other day. Would you like me to send
it to you for a look?”

Deng Yunqi smiled and declined, but didn’t stop this CEO’s amusement, and
eventually, he received a video on his phone.

Returning to the car, Deng Yunqi frowned and clicked on this video, and what
entered his eyes was two entangled white bodies. Deng Yunqi only thought it
was some people’s nasty fun and moved his finger to delete it, but when he saw
the face of the person below, Deng Yunqi was stunned.

The finger he pointed at the delete key hung there. For some reason, Deng
Yunqi actually endured the entire video. He watched another man join the fray,
looking at the person in the video who was squirming against Bai Xiyan’s clean
face.
The video soon finished playing, but Deng Yunqi was still frozen there, not even
starting the car.

Silently staring at the dark mobile phone screen, Deng Yunqi was first in
disbelief. Only afterward did a surge of betrayed anger appear in his heart. No
wonder Bai Xiyan hadn’t been coming home lately, no wonder Bai Xiyan had
been receiving an unusual increase in announcements recently.

When Bai Xiyan didn’t jump to the company under Deng Yunqi, Deng Yunqi was
confused and asked Bai Xiyan. Bai Xiyan’s answer was that he didn’t want to mix
the relationship between the two. He also marveled at Bai Xiyan’s clear and
transparent mind and didn’t expect the truth to be like this.

The man who walked in later, who was he if not the CEO of the company where
Bai Xiyan was now?

Shakily picking up the phone, Deng Yunqi called Bai Xiyan, and there was no
answer. Deng Yunqi called Bai Xiyan one phone call after another as if he was
possessed.

After an unknown number of calls, Bai Xiyan finally picked up the phone, “Hello?
Yunqi, why are you calling me at this hour?”

Hearing Bai Xiyan’s unusually hoarse voice on the phone, Deng Yunqi’s anger
instantly rose, and he couldn’t help but hiss out, “Where are you?”

yuzu: This arc is almost over!

Chapter 48

“I’m filming on the set ah.” Bai Xiyan’s answer didn’t pause in the slightest.

“Come back.” Deng Yunqi suppressed his furious emotions and ordered at Bai
Xiyan, “You get back home right now!”

On the other side, Bai Xiyan heard him speak in a bad tone. He warmly
explained, “What’s wrong? Don’t be mad at me. I can’t leave right now……”

“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Come back immediately!” Deng Yunqi
roared out. Couldn’t go away? Can’t get out of filming or in someone else’s bed?

It suddenly occurred to Deng Yunqi that he had seen traces of it on Bai Xiyan
once before, but Bai Xiyan had explained to him that it was an allergy, and he
had believed it.

“Okay.” Bai Xiyan, on the other end of the phone, promised.

Deng Yunqi waited almost until early morning at home until Bai Xiyan came
home. He immediately turned red as soon as he saw Bai Xiyan’s covered neck.

“What have you been doing?” Deng Yunqi asked with a hoarse voice.

“Just filming ah, it’s nothing.” Although Bai Xiyan had expected something to be
wrong, he still wanted to rely on his acting skills to blur the past. After all, he
didn’t want to tear his face off with Deng Yunqi so quickly.

“Filming? Heh……” Deng Yunqi covered his face and laughed out loud, “Making
this kind of scene?!”

He suddenly stood up and threw the phone in his hand towards Bai Xiyan.
Bai Xiyan frowned and took the phone. Once he saw the video on it, his body
stiffened.

However, his face was calm, and he didn’t flash even the slightest hint of
embarrassment, just saying lightly, “You know.”

Seeing Bai Xiyan’s calm and even somewhat justified appearance, Deng Yunqi
looked at him incredulously. “Don’t you have even the slightest bit of shame
with doing such things?”

He had imagined that Bai Xiyan would use all sorts of reasons to explain to him
and complain to him, but the only thing he hadn’t expected was that Bai Xiyan
would look like this as if it was all perfectly normal.

Bai Xiyan had always presented a pure and unblemished appearance before his
eyes, which instead made Deng Yunqi even more unable to accept reality.

“Me? Are you asking me?” Bai Xiyan pointed at himself and suddenly burst out
laughing, “Deng Yunqi, what qualifications do you have to question me? You
don’t know what you’re hiding yourself?”

Deng Yunqi was startled and instantly understood what Bai Xiyan was talking
about. He looked at Bai Xiyan in disbelief, “Just because of those magazines and
photos?”

“What more do you want?” Bai Xiyan’s face was completely cold. Although
breaking up with Deng Yunqi wasn’t on his mind right now, Bai Xiyan wasn’t
worried because there was more than one person he recently had climbed into a
relationship with. These people combined might not be able to fight Ning
Qianyuan, but crushing Deng Yunqi wouldn’t be a problem.
“Those are just some magazines! I’m a fan of his, okay? I didn’t do anything else
at all, but you? How many people have you slept with?” Deng Yunqi was furious.
He didn’t intend to betray Bai Xiyan after being with him in the first place.

He only treated Qing Yun as an avid fan but still lived his life well with Bai Xiyan.
But it so happened that the person he fancied was Qing Yun, which was the most
intolerable thing for Bai Xiyan.

“Didn’t do anything else, but if you had the chance, would you not do it?” Bai
Xiyan snorted.

His sarcastic words made Deng Yunqi choke in the back of his throat, unable to
say anything to refute him.

“Be honest with yourself. You know what you shouldn’t say.” Bai Xiyan answered
a phone call and went out immediately with his jacket. He still spat out
threatening words towards Deng Yunqi, “Think about your own company.”

The hidden conflict between the two finally erupted. It wasn’t long before Qing
Yun and Ning Qianyuan were in a scandal.

Photos of Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun leaving together while filming abroad
were taken. Several media outlets exposed the photos but spoke mildly, only
praising the two for their good relationship.

These photos are not out of the ordinary. Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun belong to
the same company, so there’s nothing to criticize about leaving together.

These reports just poked the cp fans’ little hearts, making them howl with joy as
they hugged the photos. After all, they were fans of the real-life cp of Ning
Qianyuan and Qing Yun, not the parts of their movies and TV dramas.
Li Qing, who had come to find Ning Qianyuan because of this matter, found that
the two parties didn’t seem to care about it.

When they were both free, Ning Qianyuan sat on a chair as a human cushion for
Qing Yun. His broad chest was hugging the slender Qing Yun in his arms. The
two of them sat next to the floor-to-ceiling window, letting the light golden
sunlight spread all over their bodies.

Ning Qianyuan held a book in his hands, turning the pages according to Qing
Yun’s reading speed. At the same time, Qing Yun only needed to find a
comfortable position to nestle in his arms, without even moving his hands.

Qing Yun read the book seriously, but Ning Qianyuan was not honest. He leaned
over from time to time to rub for attention. Whenever Qing Yun reached out and
stroked him on the head, Ning Qianyuan immediately became energetic and
smiled like a silly child.

Li Qing stood in the doorway and had a good feel of the dog food hitting his face,
before slowly opening his mouth: “Both of you pay attention, do you know the
news online?”

“What news?” Seeing Li Qing, Ning Qianyuan frowned unhappily. He had spent
the entire day with Qing Yun today, and he didn’t know what news had newly
popped up on the internet.

Qing Yun had gotten the news from Bai Xiyan’s side, but he didn’t say anything.

After slowly browsing the web page with his phone, a trace of seriousness
flashed across Ning Qianyuan’s face. These photos were nothing, and the media
didn’t add anything to the report. But Ning Qianyuan still felt something was
wrong, because reasonably speaking, the media wouldn’t release these photos
without his consent.
“Call them one by one and ask.” Ning Qianyuan directed towards Li Qing. Then,
he turned his head to speak to Qing Yun, his voice not only being gentle but also
carried a bit of an inviting feeling. “See if you want to keep this information, I’ll
have them delete it if you don’t want to release it.”

“No, just leave it there.” Qing Yun raised his chin to let him continue flipping
through the book. Bai Xiyan was definitely going to do more than that. Besides,
the news released now wouldn’t have much impact on the two of them, other
than adding heat to Druid 2.

As Qing Yun had expected, some discordant comments soon emerged amidst the
screams of cp fans.

“There can’t be anything fishy about the two of them getting that close, can
there?”

“I already thought that a person like Qing Yun should not be able to take on a
movie as big as Druid 2, but now after seeing this set of photos, forgive me for
my conspiracy theory.”

“Oh, now it’s just easy to look pretty and climb the bed.”

“I originally thought that Emperor Ning would be clean even when he became
the boss, but I didn’t think he would degenerate into this.”

Only then did the fans of Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun feel wrong and started to
fight back against these comments. After all, this kind of negativity is blackening
the two people.

The two fans who were already at odds pinched each other even more, and both
felt that the other side’s idol was dragging down their own idol.
“I knew nothing good would come out of getting involved with Qing Yun. To
think that my Emperor has been clean for so many years, then something like
this would pop up.”

“Why isn’t Ning Qianyuan just a movie emperor? Why does he have to be some
CEO? Otherwise, how can my Qing Yun carry this kind of burden.”

Bai Xiyan invited the navy, and the two sides were in a stalemate. The incident
was slowly fermenting and eventually became a hot topic with a direct name:
#Emperor Ning, Qing Yun Sponsorship#.

Melon eaters joined the fray, but one look at that set of photos just made them
laugh, and they didn’t take it seriously.

But then, an official account appeared out of nowhere and released another set
of photos on top of the topic of Qing Yun being kept.

Fans who were slowly getting bored of this topic just about started to spew, but
upon closer inspection of the photos, they were shocked.

It was not a photo of Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan, but an “intimate” picture of
him and Deng Yunqi.

It is “intimate” but not out of the ordinary. However, it was evident that the two
were in and out of some high-end places together.

Deng Yunqi’s identity was also put out by the account. He was the president of
Tianyuan Entertainment. The combination of power and beauty at once made
people think badly, not to mention some of the account’s inciting language.

The most controversial part of the photos was Qing Yun’s attitude. In the
pictures, Qing Yun has changed from his usual arrogant queen look and
appeared unusually soft. From some angles of the photos, it even looked like he
was a bit weak and small.

In this set of nine photos, half of them are of Qing Yun reaching out to hand
Deng Yunqi something to drink. The remaining half are also of his unexplainable
weakness as he follows Deng Yunqi with his head down.

Qing Yun’s fans instantly exploded at this set of photos, making a scene.

“Hahaha, this photo is definitely fake. How could my Qing Wang make this
expression!”

“No……it can’t be, fuck don’t tell me it’s my Qing Wang, I don’t believe it, I don’t
believe it, it’s definitely someone else pretending.”

“This is definitely an act!”

It’s no wonder that Qing Yun’s fans couldn’t believe it. From the very beginning
of that video, which was called Sheng Shi Beauty, Qing Yun has always taken
the route of a cold royalty, and his occasional interactions with fans have been
full of personality. He Lan had already cleaned up those photos of his previous
black history, and his current fans have no idea that Qing Yun once had such a
side.

“Ahhhh there’s a feeling of being cheated, I’m about to turn black. I can’t accept
the fact that he is actually like this!”

“So, it turns out that the queenly demeanor that has been on display is just a
facade?”

Some audacious comments sprouted up and gradually took over.

The others could not be blamed; the contrast was really too great. They were
originally attracted by Qing Yun’s arrogant attitude and stunning looks. Now they
found that this person who was as arrogant as a god in their hearts was actually
greedy for riches and made such a face. Speaking of which, there was probably
some kind of illicit transaction, which made Qing Yun’s fans really unable to
accept it.

And because of Qing Yun’s perfect looks, it was easier to provoke other people’s
malicious suspicions. Coupled with the navy confusing the public, online attacks
on Qing Yun continuously popped up.

“Heh, I should have thought of that. How can a place like the entertainment
industry be clean with a face like that.”

“Heartbroken, it’s not black, but I won’t be a fan anymore.”

“I really like him, but now I feel like I have been cheated!”

The fans who have followed him for a short period were attracted by his
charisma and are shaken when they realize that this charisma is actually an
illusion.

The original “scandal” involving Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan has now turned
into a crusade against Qing Yun alone.

Even the cp fans of Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan have been greatly impacted.
Many people have said that they really couldn’t go on and that such people are
really not worthy of Ning Qianyuan.

But, there were still some fans who retained their sanity and controlled the
situation.
“Everyone calm down, don’t be incited, let’s wait and see the official explanation.”

“Things may have been orchestrated, so let’s not be fooled.”

But any explanation would pale in comparison because as long as the photo was
real, Qing Yun’s persona was considered to have collapsed.

Just then, someone suddenly pointed out that wasn’t Deng Yunqi Bai Xiyan’s
boyfriend?

The information immediately culminated in the release of the news, once again
linking Qing Yun and Bai Xiyan, two actors who debuted at the same time.

Bai Xiyan has been extremely popular lately. The Weibo post where he showed
his affection to Deng Yunqi was also screenshotted and forwarded everywhere
together with a picture of Deng Yunqi and Qing Yun.

Soon, everyone knew that the flourishing and beautiful Qing Yun actually took
advantage of the diligent and hardworking actor Bai Xiyan. For most passersby,
Bai Xiyan’s character is, of course, more pleasing to the eye, and the situation is
more distressing.

As a result, the attacks on Qing Yun spread to the entire network.

The news even made the rational fans who had been holding back among Qing
Yun fans unable to bear it.

“What is this? Not only is there a facade, but he’s also a mistress?”
“Xiao San go to Hell and die!” [T/N: generally refers to a third party in a
relationship ]

“This is really unbearable. Even if it was a facade, I could still put up with
looking at his face, but I really can’t accept a bad character!”

At the same time, Bai Xiyan’s fans joined the fight and attacked Qing Yun like
crazy, but Qing Yun’s fans couldn’t hold out any longer.

“Damned mistress, get out of the entertainment industry. One look at that face,
and you can tell it’s not a good thing!”

“I’m from Yan Yan’s side, my Yan Yan is a good actor and a hard worker, but he
got trampled by such a thing? Is Deng Scum blind?”

There was chaos below Qing Yun’s Weibo. Tens of millions of followers fell
instantly, leaving only a handful of fans who still firmly believed in him.

The appearance that had initially given him a boost seemed to have instead
become a weapon for others to attack him in this storm.

Bai Xiyan took advantage of this storm to skyrocket his popularity once again.
Both his fans and Qing Yun’s fans were very distressed and flooded his Weibo to
comfort him.

“I don’t know what to say. I regret that I even fancied someone like that before,
or……to apologize.”

Bai Xiyan’s face was expressionless as he watched his Weibo followers grow
wildly. He stiffly tugged on the corner of his mouth. He felt the heat was almost
gone before he sent a Weibo post: “It’s not easy to meet someone, cherish it.”
Simultaneously, Bai Xiyan’s studio also released a statement saying that Bai
Xiyan and Deng Yunqi have broken up with each other.

As a result, fans were heartbroken for the gentle and beautiful Bai Xiyan while
also appreciating his simplicity.

Deng Yunqi has also been crushed as a cheating scumbag. However, for some
unknown reason, he watched netizens speculate about his relationship with Qing
Yun and let it go without clarifying.

In this game, Qing Yun’s reputation plummeted, and Bai Xiyan once again
stepped on him to rise to the top.

On Sheng Shi’s side, Li Qing, He Lan, and others were closely following the
situation. They would like to solve the problem immediately, but the incident
was very tricky because the photos of Qing Yun and Deng Yunqi were real.

It was the photo of Qing Yun with Deng Yunqi before he crossed over.

“This person actually came up with such a method, it’s really…..” Li Qing sighed
and shook his head.

The earlier set of photos of Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan was obviously just a
cover. It was used to cover up and gather heat for the black material that was
really going to explode. It also paralyzed Sheng Shi’s side, which resulted in
such a loophole that the set of photos of Deng Yunqi and Qing Yun were released.

“Did you reach the official account?” He Lan asked with a frown.

“Got in touch, but there was no agreement. There’s an ironclad desire to blacken
Qing Yun.”
“Brother Qing……no……not good, the President’s private Weibo issued a
statement.”

As soon as Li Qing heard this, his brain immediately exploded, and he leaned in
front of the computer screen to see. He cursed in his heart, Ning Qianyuan, don’t
make any more trouble now.

Unexpectedly, Ning Qianyuan’s Weibo post was unusually objective and calm.

He first pointed out the flaws: Qing Yun and Deng Yunqi did not make a
statement, so it is not certain that they were lovers rather than friends. Also,
there was no date and time for the photos posted. Even if Qing Yun and Deng
Yunqi were lovers, it does not indicate that the pictures were taken after Deng
Yunqi and Bai Xiyan started dating.

In the end, Ning Qianyuan showed his domineering attitude and said: “Qing Yun
signed Contract A with Sheng Shi. Sheng Shi can provide the best for Qing Yun,
so there is no need for Qing Yun to get in touch with the CEO of Tianyuan
Entertainment, Deng Yunqi.

Ning Qianyuan’s influence in the entertainment industry is still there. It can be

said that both Bai Xiyan’s fans and Qing Yun’s fans coincide with him, so Ning
Qianyuan’s post immediately brought the situation under control. The suspicions
he pointed out gradually calmed down the fans who had been guided by public
opinion.

At least the attitude of Ning Qianyuan’s fans, who were initially angry at Qing
Yun, began to change.

“Almost forgot, Qing Yun is still from Sheng Shi no matter what while that Bai
Xiyan is long gone. We can’t stand on the wrong side, so we should all calm
down.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, with this attitude of the His Majesty, I want to turn cp fan. In the
future, it is decided that Qing Yun can only be bullied by us, and no one else is
allowed to touch a finger!”

Qing Yun’s fans, who initially sensed that something was wrong but were afraid
of being hit in the face, so they kept their mouths shut, have started to speak up
now.

“Yes, yes, yes, I originally thought that something was wrong, but it turned out
that the photo didn’t have time……”

“A lot of people there to say that people definitely have more than one side. One
side is cold while the other is soft and cute. In fact, I think it is actually quite
cute when you think about it.

Maybe it was because they had finished their work, but the five “CEO fans” that
Qing Yun had also appeared.

Zhou Ye V: Heh, Deng Yunqi is nothing. If Qing Yun wants to find someone to
support him, it’s not gonna be him!

The other four CEOs gave Zhou Ye a like and forwarded his post.

As soon as these five people appeared, they immediately made the storm a bit
funny. The fans who had lost confidence in Qing Yun instantly sobered up. Who
is Qing Yun? He’s a CEO harvester, and all five of his fans aren’t any worse than
Deng Yunqi. So if there are hidden rules, why would he need to go to Deng
Yunqi?

Zhou Ye added another post at this time: “I can tell you from personal
experience that Qing Yun does not f*ck fans.”
As a result of this, there was a sudden change in the style of Qing Yun’s fans,
and suddenly the comment section was full of “hahaha”.

“I want to know what Mr. Zhou has been through to speak so righteously.”

“No f*cking fans? Mr. Zhou, don’t tell me you’ve tried…….”

Qing Yun’s fans slowly regained their confidence and dared to straighten their
backs to dislike Bai Xiyan’s fans when they encountered them.

Zhou Ye was relieved to see the situation ease up as he sat down in front of his
computer and broke out in a cold sweat.

As soon as the set of photos of Qing Yun and Deng Yunqi came out, it became
clear what period they were from. So why didn’t the Zhou Ye people immediately
run to support Qing Yun? Because they were busy cleaning up their own affairs.

It is important to know that Qing Yun has not only experienced similar scenarios
with Deng Yunqi but that also with all five of them.

The five people were afraid of him because of the spiritual hint given by Qing
Yun. Fearing that the scandal between themselves and Qing Yun would be
exposed again, they immediately put down the work at hand and cleaned up all
the pictures taken by the paparazzi of them.

In fact, Bai Xiyan’s plan was to release the photos of Deng Yunqi and Qing Yun
first and then expose Qing Yun’s relationship with the other five men gradually.

But Bai Xiyan wasn’t bold enough to oppose six men simultaneously, so he
hesitated and didn’t do it.
It was his moment of hesitation that allowed Zhou Ye and the others to erase
those black materials.

At this time, Sheng Shi officially released a statement and made a detailed
analysis based on Ning Qianyuan’s post. They seriously stated that Sheng Shi
will take legal means to protect Qing Yun’s reputation.

The controversy surrounding Qing Yun was slowly controlled in this way. The
fans who were originally provoked gradually calmed down and followed the
development of the event. After all, Deng Yunqi and Qing Yun as the parties
concerned have not yet come forward.

As the one who started the incident, Bai Xiyan almost bit his tongue as he
watched the comments that were controlled so quickly. Why on earth was there
still someone defending Qing Yun even at this level?

Bai Xiyan’s heart was growing anxious, and he thought about making a phone
call.

“Hello, hello, send me those pictures I mentioned earlier, and the price you
offer……what? Bought out?” Bai Xiyan hung up the phone in disbelief and
couldn’t help but slam the mouse in his hand to the ground.

Ning Qianyuan sat in the living room and swiped at his phone. He was relieved
to see that the remarks were under control. He took a look at the bedroom. He
deliberately did it a bit hard last night, so Qing Yun is probably not awake yet.
Also, Qing Yun has been busy with his next movie and usually doesn’t play with
his phone much, so he should not be aware of the storm that is boiling online.

Ning Qianyuan proceeded to have someone contact Deng Yunqi and asked him
to make a statement clarifying his relationship with Qing Yun. Sheng Shi had
already found the original of the photos of Deng Yunqi and Qing Yun. If the
original with the date and time was sent, it would immediately clear Qing Yun
from the reputation of being Xiao San.
He wanted to settle the matter before Qing Yun noticed it.

Ning Qianyuan thought so, but then involuntarily clicked on the set of photos
circulating online. Ning Qianyuan couldn’t help but instantly collapse after seeing
Qing Yun’s downcast and obedient appearance in the images. He even pursed
his lips in an aggrieved curve.

Don’t look at the calm tone of his post. In fact, the Great Movie Emperor Ning’s
heart was boiling with sourness.

He was so good to him and to me he……

Qing Yun slowly woke up in his bedroom. As soon as he sat up, he couldn’t help
but draw a breath of cold air. Qing Yun’s face immediately turned dark for a
moment. With his transformed physique in this state, one could imagine how
crazy Ning Qianyuan was last night.

Helping his waist, Qing Yun picked up his phone. His consciousness was always
on Bai Xiyan’s side, so how could he not know what was happening online?

Opening his Weibo, thousands of comments entered his eyes. Even though his
fans had calmed down and didn’t go too far in their words, they were still
chasing after him, asking what exactly was his relationship with Deng Yunqi.

Squeezing his aching back again, Qing Yun glanced at the door and suddenly
raised a wicked smile.

He raised his hand and typed on his phone.

The fans who followed the state of affairs instantly found out that Qing Yun had
posted something and were stunned when they clicked on it.
There was no lengthy clarification, no miserable or unnecessary explanations.
Qing Yun only sent a very simple word: Loved.

This word maintained Qing Yun’s usual aloof style throughout, while at the same
time revealing a hint of heartbreaking vulnerability.

Catching this faint hint of vulnerability, Qing Yun’s fans were instantly confused.

“I, I, I……want to ask what this means……it’ s not what I think it is, is it? How
dare someone not want my Qing Yun?”

“Ahhhh, I should be angry. Why do you have someone else in your heart, but I
feel so sorry for you……”

“Finally, I understand why Qing Xiaoyun in the photo is so soft and cuddly. I
want to cry. Does he have such a fragile moment too?”

“Damn, does love really does make people humble……that even my Qing Wang
can’t avoid it?”

“Hmph, who told you to love someone else? You’ve been hurt, right? Come into
my arms now!”

“Do any of you remember those old soft, cute pictures on Qing Wang’s Weibo?
What exactly did my Qing Wang……have to go through to turn from a little cutie
to the arrogant beauty he is now?”

“Upstairs, you should stop talking about it, it’s so abusive to think about it.”
If Qing Yun was really so pitiful, he might be able to attract the sympathy of not
only his fans but also those who turned black. The remark was reluctant and
seemed to cover up something, which maintained his arrogant personality and
ruthlessly abused a wave of fans.

Some Bai Xiyan’s fans still held on to the idea: “Tsk, Xiao San is still Xiao San!”

At this time, Qing Yun’s fans were fuming and responded: “Xiao San your *ss,
can’t you see it’s ‘loved’? I’d bet my head that the photos were definitely taken
before Bai Xiyan was dating Deng Yunqi!”

The reaction of Qing Yun’s fans was not the biggest, but the most affected one
was the Movie Emperor Ning.

Almost as soon as he saw Qing Yun’s post, he rushed into the bedroom with a
loud bang, with a look like the end of the world had arrived.

“What’s wrong?” Qing Yun looked over lightly, “Do you mind?”

“No…… don’t mind……” Ning Qianyuan said grievously, and there were almost
tears in his eyes.

He Lan and Li Qing, who saw Qing Yun’s post, simply wanted to scream at the
top of their lungs. Li Qing even wondered if Qing Yun had been with Ning
Qianyuan for such a long time that his IQ had fallen. He made such a wave when
the incident had just subsided.

But the effect was beyond their expectations. It not only cleared up the issue but
also saved the hearts of a bunch of fans.

However, what was most unexpected was Deng Yunqi’s reaction.

When Qing Yun’s post was released, Deng Yunqi, who had previously refused to
be contacted by Sheng Shi, followed shortly after with his own post.

He not only released the original photo with the date but also forwarded Qing
Yun’s post to his Weibo account with a solemn apology. “I am very sorry for
pestering you in the first place. Perhaps it was my inappropriate approach that
caused us to drift apart. I hope I can reserve the right to pursue you.”

The date on the photo was much earlier than the date Deng Yunqi and Bai Xiyan
announced their relationship, which helped to dispel the rumor of Qing Yun
having an affair with Deng Yunqi.

After apologizing, Deng Yunqi issued a statement, saying that there was no
secret relationship between him and Qing Yun. He also clarified that he broke up
with Bai Xiyan because of their irreconcilable conflict, not because of Qing Yun.

As if Qing Yun’s Weibo page really had some magical power, Deng Yunqi, to back
up his words, released a video without regard to the man’s dignity.

As soon as he saw the video, Bai Xiyan’s hands and feet went cold, as if the last
layer of the cloth covering himself had been mercilessly ripped away. He went
mad and called Deng Yunqi, “You’re out of your mind! You’re crazy, aren’t you?
Don’t you have any shame!”

“The shame is on you.” The man on the other end of the phone hung up with
just one cold and hard sentence.

“No, Yunqi, you can’t do this, help me, help me for the sake of our previous
relationship!” Bai Xiyan cried and pleaded into the phone, but all he got was a
busy tone on the other end of the line.
Bai Xiyan frantically called all the men he knew, but those who had been sweet
to him before all seemed to have disappeared, ignoring his calls.

Bai Xiyan didn’t delete the video from Deng Yunqi’s phone earlier because he
knew Deng Yunqi’s personality. He would never dare to release that video
because that would be like showing the green hat on top of his head directly to
everyone. As the CEO of Tianyuan Entertainment, how could he afford to lose
that face?

As soon as this video appeared, Bai Xiyan’s fans were even a bit confused.

In this event, Bai Xiyan had always been the image of a victim. They also
attacked Qing Yun in passing, but why did the event turn out to be like this?

Who is that person in the video, if not Bai Xiyan?

Qing Yun’s fans and Bai Xiyan’s fans instantly switched positions. Those who
insisted on believing in Qing Yun finally put aside all their worries and intensely
disliked the other person.

“Jeez, this is really spicy……”

“Oh, I remember a few days ago when they attacked my Qing Wang and said
that their beloved is the cleanest in the entertainment industry. I wonder if their
faces hurt now?”

“I feel pain for their faces.”

“Ahem, as a person in the know, I’ll tell you that the first man is the president of
Nanlin Real Estate, and the second is the president of Bai Xiyan’s current
company, Universal Entertainment.”
“Sigh, rich people really know how to play.”

Bai Xiyan’s fans’ faces were swollen, and they couldn’t say a word of rebuttal to
the mockery of Qing Yun’s fans. After all, the video was shown everywhere, and
Bai Xiyan’s face could be seen clearly.

The video was soon blocked for discord, but the mood of Bai Xiyan’s fans did not
improve at all.

Bai Xiyan has always appeared to be a hard-working, motivated person, and

even has a reputation for resisting the entertainment industry’s unspoken rules,
so all of his fans were people with very upright views. Now that he has suddenly
made such an appearance, it’s impossible for him to change over.

Just as Qing Yun’s fans couldn’t accept the cowardice and submissiveness shown
in those photos, Bai Xiyan’s fans couldn’t accept that their idol was such a white
lotus flower and green tea bitch. [T/N: fake. basically, those who pretend to be
pure to others, but in fact, they are sinister in their hearts]

It’s hard for people to accept even an ordinary celebrity’s black material, let
alone Bai Xiyan, who was known as the “Cleanest person in the Entertainment
Industry.”

Now, Bai Xiyan’s fans looked at his previous Weibo post “….cherish it” and felt
their faces hurt even more.

Their furious emotions had nowhere to be released and could only all bounce
back to Bai Xiyan. As proud as they once were of his hard-working image, they
were now furious.

“Fan to black, needless to say, black for life.”

“First, I would like to apologize to Qing Yun….”

“Firmly can’t stand this kind of deceitful behavior of people’s feelings, get out of
the entertainment industry! Get out! Don’t want to see you!”

Because this incident directly borrowed the heat of the two people Ning
Qianyuan and Qing Yun, many passersby paid attention to this matter. Seeing
this huge reversal, they were completely at a loss of what to say. They only
expressed that the entertainment industry is very deep!

With this ironclad evidence, Bai Xiyan simply couldn’t clear his name, and his
Weibo was soon logged off. At the same time, Universal Entertainment also
blocked Bai Xiyan under pressure from Sheng Shi.

Since then, Bai Xiyan’s reputation has become so notorious that his fans were
ashamed to mention that they were fans of such a star.

Qing Yun’s mission in this world was finally complete. While he was receiving the
energy of this world, he felt incredibly distressed.

It was because Ning Qianyuan seemed to have really suffered from some great
stimulation. For a month now, he was a bit strange.

Like today, Ning Qianyuan, who has always done things without speaking in bed,
actually stopped. He was clearly a little distracted, and then he pursed his lips
and asked Qing Yun with an aggrieved voice: “Are you……still thinking about
him?”

Qing Yun gasped and was confused for a few seconds before realized what he
was saying. Immediately, he reached out and squeezed Ning Qianyuan’s neck,
gritting his teeth. “Do you have to ask this at a time like this?”

“I just wanted to ask……” Ning Qianyuan was still pitiful.

“Do it or don’t and get out!” Qing Yun finally couldn’t take it anymore. He kicked
the person off the bed and turned to sleep.

Ning Qianyuan sat naked on the floor for a long while. He waited until the
person’s breathing slowly stabilized before he gently climbed onto the bed,
carefully raising his hand to touch Qing Yun.

When he saw that there was no excessive reaction from Qing Yun, he leaned
over and held the person tightly in his arms.

The heat of the event slowly subsided. Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan, who were
nominated for a gold award for their movie Druid 2, were surrounded by
reporters as soon as they arrived at the red carpet.

The two ignored the reporters’ questions as they came in with all kinds of
questions. Ning Qianyuan slightly shielded Qing Yun as they walked inside.

Just at this time, a reporter with a very loud voice suddenly attracted the
crowd’s attention.

Only his voice boomed as he asked, “Emperor Ning, may I ask what your
relationship is with Mr. Qing Yun? Is it really the kind of kept relationship that
the netizens were speculating about?”

This howl of his voice immediately drew everyone’s attention to Ning Qianyuan.

Fans watching the live broadcast immediately typed a long string of “666” on the
pop-up screen. [T/N: can be used to describe something or someone impressive]

As soon as the reporter asked the question, the netizens remembered that the
scandal between Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun was the first thing in the storm.
They suddenly perked up their ears, even though they knew that Ning Qianyuan
was experienced in dealing with reporters. He would be able to reveal the issue
without any trace, but this problem was so explosive that they had to pay
attention to it.

As the one being questioned, Ning Qianyuan was immediately stunned when he
heard the question. Now that everyone was looking his way, he couldn’t pretend
not to hear the question.

Keep……

Ning Qianyuan subconsciously looked towards Qing Yun and immediately met
Qing Yun’s smiling eyes. He suddenly remembered his first meeting with Qing
Yun, and the several times he had caused trouble afterward.

The Great Movie Emperor Ning was panicked and immediately couldn’t control
his own mouth. The word “no” was forced into the word “yes”.

As soon as the word “yes” was uttered, the reporters present were astounded,
and then their eyes immediately lit up.

The fans watching the live broadcast were also shocked. They held their breath,
waiting for Ning Qianyuan’s following words.

“Yes…..” Ning Qianyuan was shocked and immediately remedied the situation,
“It’s him who’s keeping me, it’s him who’s keeping me!”

He repeated this twice and finished with a serious nod of his head.

yuzu: The next chapter is the last one for this arc and the start of the new arc!
Chapter 49

Hearing Ning Qianyuan’s words, a burst of laughter was instantly heard in the
audience. What kind of joke is this? Supporting Ning Qianyuan? Who’s got that
kind of power to keep him?

A bunch of ellipses instantly brushed across the screen.

“Ahem, it’s been five years since we’ve seen each other, and His Majesty is even
joking, not bad.”

“Oh my, why do I feel like His Majesty’s cold persona, which he has maintained
for so many years, is on the verge of collapse?”

“Am I the only one who finds it sweet?……”

“Sweet enough to make your teeth hurt, right?”

“Today’s dog food is exceptionally delicious!”

Qing Yun looked at Ning Qianyuan with a little surprise. From his understanding
of this man, he would take this opportunity to eagerly make their relationship
public.

Ning Qianyuan didn’t say anything and just squeezed Qing Yun’s hand. Of course,
he wanted to make it public, but when he opened his small account to ask
questions in his fan group, Qing Yun’s fans’ reaction got him thinking. He could
always stop being a movie star and go back to being president, but what about
Qing Yun? His career in the entertainment industry was just getting started.

Although his mission was accomplished, Qing Yun did not quit the entertainment
industry. He had a hidden feeling that the acting skills he honed in this world
might be useful in the worlds to come.
Qing Yun’s fans have witnessed his growth, watching him polish his acting skills
to perfection. They watched him break the limits of his appearance, being willing
to act ugly to play specific roles.

The cp fans of Ning Qianyuan and Qing Yun have been growing because all the
roles Ning Qianyuan has played since his comeback have been related to Qing
Yun. He even went so far as to play supporting roles as well. Together with Ning
Qianyuan’s response when he walked the red carpet, the cp fans only felt as if
they had grasped the truth of what was going on.

Even the Ning Qianyuan only fans were secretly paying attention to Qing Yun.
Why? Because if you follow Qing Yun, you will have food to eat! As long as Qing
Yun is in any movie, Ning Qianyuan would definitely be there, even if it’s just a
cameo appearance.

The two in the film were inseparable, but in real life, there is rarely a scandal.
Even on Weibo, there was no interaction, except for the dog…….

Fans of the two know that Qing Yun has a dog named Wang Cai, which is said to
have been picked up on the set of “Seal the Sky “. Since his first wave of fans
came from “Seal the Sky”, many fans like this dog, and Qing Yun will
occasionally show him on Weibo.

Ning Qianyuan also has a dog of the same breed. Whenever Qing Yun shows off
his dog, it is like a beauty contest, and Ning Qianyuan would always show off his
dog as well.

If it weren’t for the different clothes that their dogs wore and the different
backgrounds in which they were photographed, fans of the two almost thought
they had the same dog.

Many years later, Qing Yun also became a movie star and won numerous awards.
His position in the entertainment industry was untouchable.
One day, Qing Yun’s fans found that he had posted another Weibo post:
“Showing off my faithful dog at home”.

The post was also accompanied by a picture. Once they saw the post, Qing Yun’s
fans only thought their idol was showing off Wang Cai again and jerked their
sleeves to comment. “I’ll bet a pack of spicy strips that in five minutes, Emperor
Ning will definitely show his dog.

After commenting on the photo, the fans were confused. There was no dog in
the picture; instead, there was obviously only one person. They looked at the
handsome face and thought that it looked a bit like Emperor Ning.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Emperor Ning in the photo. He was
wearing an apron and slippers, and his hair was in a mess. He was cooking in
the kitchen in this extremely homely look.

The photo only captured the side of Ning Qianyuan’s face. However, the highly
recognizable features still made Ning Qianyuan’s fans who were secretly
following Qing Yun recognize him instantly.

“EMMM, Qing Yun, did you put the wrong picture? Where is the dog? Where is
Wang Cai?”

“F*ck, is that what I think it is?”

“After so many years of being a cp fan, are they finally……together!”

“Ahem, are we sure it’s not some new movie?”

The comment section of Qing Yun’s Weibo instantly exploded. Some were
skeptical, some screamed with joy, and some called for a breakup. However, the
other party, Ning Qianyuan, was slow to respond.

The fans waited for most of the day, but Ning Qianyuan’s Weibo still did not
move at all.

At this point, the only remaining Ning Qianyuan only fans finally couldn’t help
but bounce around again.

“Oh, the face is really big oh, I wonder where you got the picture from and still
have the nerve to say that my Emperor is a faithful dog.”

“Do you really think you’re a royal when you’re called that by your fans? Tsk,
how does it feel to be ignored?”

Finally, until the evening, netizens who were boiling over this event found out
that Qing Yun had posted another tweet.

Qing Yun v: Very excited! Thank you all for your support! Now I feel extremely
happy! I was so excited and went about my business, so I’m just replying now. I
love you, baby! Qing Yun

It was accompanied by two pictures, two small red books with Qing Yun and
Ning Qianyuan written on them.

“This tone……”

“He actually responded……”

“Is it……His Majesty?”

“It’s over, His Majesty’s cool image that has been trembling until now has finally
collapsed and crumbled to pieces……”.

“Aren’t you all excited about this? Are you not excited? These two notebooks are
real!”

“Excited my ass. For so many years of being together in every movie has forced
me to become a cp fan, okay?”

“Am I the only one wondering what the main event is? The date in this book is
quite early, so is……it what I think it is? Covering my face with shyness ing”

Since then, Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan fans finally shook hands and made up.
Although a small number of fans could not accept it and left, most of them
received it well.

“Looking forward to them getting their marriage certificate!”

“Now I finally understand why Qing Wang’s dog was named ‘Wang Cai’, a
humble name. Looking at it, I don’t think it was chosen by Qing Wang.”

Speaking of the dog, a group of fans finally couldn’t help but laugh out loud,
expressing that it was really not easy to play two roles with one dog.

“I want to ask Wang Cai if he’s tired of changing his clothes every day.”

“What’s wrong with the dog? Why are you bullying the dog like that?”
“No bullying, no bullying, Wang Cai definitely has enough dog food every day!”

“Hey, it’s because of the fans’ names that we got fought in the first place, right?
Don’t fight; just call us Wang Cai from now on.”

And just like that, the union between the two was finally approved by everyone.

In a dimly lit room, the bearded Bai Xiyan stared at the live broadcast of the
wedding of Qing Yun and Ning Qianyuan with a black eye.

He couldn’t help the tears that flowed down his face as he looked at them. What
kind of relationship did he think they had? Sponsorship?

Why did they end up like this, while he had nothing?

Bai Xiyan thought of Deng Yunqi again, but Deng Yunqi hadn’t been in the public
eye for a long time either since Tianyuan Entertainment had been taken over by
Sheng Shi three years ago.

The jealousy hovered in his heart again, and Bai Xiyan even wondered why he
was so jealous of him. Since his rebirth, this jealousy has been with him as if he
had to trample on Qing Yun for some purpose.

But no matter how much the jealousy festered, Bai Xiyan didn’t have the power
to ruin Qing Yun’s life anymore.

Qing Yun had never quit the entertainment world. He had played countless roles,
and in every play, Ning Qianyuan had always been there for him.

After leaving this world, Qing Yun waited for a long time in the space he had
created. However, this time, there were no intruders. Understanding that the
man probably had some kind of restriction, Qing Yun moved on to the next world
with some disappointment.

“Haha, boss, you’re the first one but make it quick, we’re still waiting!”

“Dare to say that the boss is fast. Are you tired of living?” There was a burst of
laughter.

The man on top of the young man laughed and cursed as he took off his pants,
“What’s the hurry? There is a time for your turn.”

This was what Qing Yun heard as soon as he woke up, followed by a disgusting
smell. Then, the man above him moved a little closer to him.

The crowd watching and laughing from the side suddenly heard a scream, and
bright red blood burst out of their boss’s neck, spraying onto the snowy white
wall.

The entire wall was splattered with blood in the shape of a fan, which then
flowed slowly down the wall to their feet.

Before these people knew what was going on, they saw the young man who had
been lying on the ground like a lamb to be slaughtered, stand up with blood all
over his head and face. He looked like someone who had crawled up from hell.

“Guns……fast……” The few people who reacted immediately brought their

weapons up and pointed them at Qing Yun.

Qing Yun walked towards them, spitting out the blood in his mouth as he did so.
The disgust on his face was unmistakable.
After the gunshots, the abandoned supermarket was filled with chilling howls in
the blink of an eye.

Sheng Feng led a group of people towards the supermarket. He was here to find
supplies.

It had been almost half a year since the end of the world had arrived, and most
supplies had already been scavenged. However, there had been zombies
wandering around this supermarket, so there should still be something
preserved.

It was a pity that they weren’t the first ones to get the news, so they probably
wouldn’t be able to avoid a fierce battle later on.

Sheng Feng opened the door of the supermarket with his gun and immediately
smelled a hint of blood. He gestured behind him and told them to be careful
before walking in. If he had come here alone, he wouldn’t be afraid. After all,
even if there was danger, he would have no problem escaping, but he still had
the team from H Base with him, so he had to be cautious.

Walking into the supermarket, Sheng Feng found that it had been cleared of
zombies. They also hadn’t heard any movement from anyone for a while.

This made Sheng Feng frown. He wasn’t afraid of a fierce battle with someone,
but he was even more fearful that the supplies would be taken away by
someone earlier. Without supplies to support him, he couldn’t bring a group of
people back to the base in B City.

“Captain, look!” A young man behind him was sharp-eyed. He immediately saw
the snacks and other items on the supermarket shelves and was literally
jumping for joy.
“Don’t move yet.” Sheng Feng said in a calm voice. He eased his steps to the
inside of the supermarket. The things were still there, which meant that the
person was still there. It should not be taken lightly.

Carefully walking to the supermarket’s warehouse, Sheng Feng’s eyes glazed

over, and he couldn’t help but draw a breath of cold air even with his extensive
knowledge and experience.

The person behind him gave a small gasp of shock.

The sight was a large patch of red. The thick blood was still dripping down, and
it was evident that it had just spurted out.

A man with his pants half off was lying on his stomach facing the wall with blood
all over his body.

There were other bodies lying all over the warehouse and their weapons
scattered across the floor.

“Go take a look.” Sheng Feng raised his chin towards the team doctor behind
him.

Ding Shiang received the signal to go and check it out. He couldn’t help but feel
numb all the way down the spine. When he flipped over the man facing the wall
and saw his face, Ding Shiang immediately cried out in shock, “Mad Lion?”

As soon as he made this scream, someone around him immediately made a

sound, “No way!”

“How did the people of the Mad Lion die?”

Ding Shiang saw Sheng Feng’s puzzled eyes and immediately explained,
“Captain Sheng, he is the Mad Lion of G Base, what I told you before I came
here. I was afraid he was our biggest competitor this time, I didn’t expect……”

Ding Shiang squatted down to take a closer look at the Mad Lion’s injury:
“Surprisingly,……was bitten through the carotid artery and died.”

“Are you sure it was a human and not a zombie bite?” Someone asked.

“Look at the time of death. If it was a zombie bite, he would have already turned
into a zombie by now.” Ding Shiang stood up and walked behind Sheng Feng,
feeling a bit of a chill. “These are probably all Mad Lion’s people, or a few of the
more capable ones in their ranks, all of whom are expected to have abilities.
However, they were all killed by someone who broke their necks. It looks like
they didn’t even have time to start their powers before they died. What kind of
person could do this……”

Ding Shiang sighed. It turned out that the Mad Lion, which they regarded as
their great enemy, was gone. This would definitely be a big blow to the G Base,
but it was different for their H Base.

Sheng Feng’s face became more serious as he ordered behind him: “Be careful,
space ability users, hurry up and pack everything up. The smell of blood is so
strong, the zombies will probably come soon. Let’s finish it quickly.”

“Yes!” A few people were about to do it when suddenly they heard the sound of
splashing water coming from a corner of the supermarket.

“Woosh!” Another splash.

The entire team raised their guard immediately.

Sheng Feng made a silent gesture and moved towards the place where the
sound was made.

The people behind him raised their weapons. The death of the Mad Lion and his
men was so tragic that they had to be cautious.

After passing through shelf after shelf, they finally arrived at an empty space
where the curtains were open, and patches of pale golden sunlight shone in.

Seeing the unexpected scene in front of him, Sheng Feng’s breathing stopped.

A naked young man was standing in the sunlight. Suddenly a huge ball of water
appeared above him, and then it came down, splashing clear water in the
sunlight.

The young man standing underneath the ball of water closed his eyes tightly. He
lowered his head to bear the weight of the ball of water, but he did not dodge it,
apparently using the water to wash his body.

Beside him was a set of blood-stained clothes, which should have just been
removed.

As if the youth didn’t notice their arrival, he controlled the water ball to appear
and then smash down.

Sheng Feng stood not far away and even heard the youth muttering in a low
voice, “Wash it clean, wash it!”

“Water!” The people behind Sheng Feng followed and opened their mouths to
scream out in shock.
This exclamation immediately woke up Sheng Feng and also drew the attention
of the youth standing by the window.

Everyone immediately held their breath, and Sheng Feng couldn’t help but
tighten his grip on the gun in his hand. At the same time, his energy was stirring.
If there was the slightest hint of something wrong, he would immediately launch
his abilities.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the young man’s dark eyes swept over them, he
turned his head and then hit himself again with the ball of water.

He stood there naked, and his eyes were like those of an innocent baby, without
the slightest hint of shame. Sheng Feng also did not see any emotions such as
fear or threat in his eyes.

“Water……water system ability……” The teenager behind Sheng Feng finally

couldn’t help but speak out again, and the sound of him swallowing could be
faintly heard.

As soon as the words were uttered, everyone present felt thirsty. Especially
when the drops of water splashed away from the youth and the hidden moisture
poured onto their faces.

Even Sheng Feng couldn’t help but purse his lips.

After the arrival of the end times, the water source was rapidly polluted. Some
mutated animals and plants could resist the toxins in the water, but not humans.
Even people with abilities would be poisoned and sick if they drank too much of
the polluted water.

In this case, water-based abilities are in very high demand. Still, often there is
not even one water-based ability out of a hundred.
“You……” Sheng Feng spoke out, but the youth standing there ignored him.

He spread his five fingers like a child and carefully examined the palm and the
back of his hand. He seemed to be making sure there was nothing dirty on them
before he stopped making the water balloon with a glint of satisfaction in his
bright eyes.

character ʕ≧ᴥ≦ʔ
Arc 5. Choice
Chapter 50

The young man turned around and looked at the clothes he had thrown on the
ground. He was obviously having a hard time and stood there lost in thought,
but he didn’t ask Sheng Feng and the others for help. He completely ignored
them all and just looked like he was thinking on his own.

“Go get him some clothes.” Sheng Feng whispered to the people behind him. He
swept his gaze over the youth’s naked body at first glance, only to feel as if his
eyes had been pierced by the sunlight outside the window, and immediately
turned away from it.

This is a large mall, so it was easy to find clothes.

It was the teenager who had shouted about the water ability and looked
incredibly thirsty who neatly brought a set of clothes. However, the teenager
was obviously still a bit afraid of the young man standing there, so he gave the
clothes to Sheng Feng.

“Here you go.” Sheng Feng’s deep voice sounded, attracting the youth’s
attention.

The youth tilted his head and stared at Sheng Feng for a long while before
carefully reaching out his hand to receive the clothes in Sheng Feng’s hand.

But after receiving it, the young man immediately threw the clothes to the
ground for some reason.

Sheng Feng’s face instantly sank. He felt that the youth seemed a little different
from ordinary people, but this strange action still bothered him.
The young man didn’t say anything, nor did he look at Sheng Feng. He just
stared at the clothes on the ground, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

“What do you want?” Sheng Feng asked with a slight displeasure.

As soon as he finished asking, he felt the teenager, who had just taken the
clothes, behind him, lean over to him and whispered. “Captain……he probably
blames you for getting his clothes dirty, so he doesn’t want to wear them.”

Sheng Feng choked, and only then did he see an extremely noticeable black
handprint stuck to the snow-white shirt on the ground.

Looking at his hands, Sheng Feng was filled with absurdity. This was the end of
the world, where lives were at stake. Who still thinks about the cleanliness of
clothes? Can’t you just wear it?

The teenager was probably thirsty, so he didn’t need to be told by Sheng Feng
and immediately ran over to get another set of clothes. This time he carefully
took an unopened set.

This time, the young man standing there took the clothes from Sheng Feng’s
hand. He took them out and began to work on how to wear them.

As soon as he saw that the youth had his back turned, Sheng Feng immediately
coughed, turned around, and said, “Go back first and let him put his clothes on.”

The young man’s clothes seemed to be extremely difficult to wear, and Sheng
Feng waited impatiently. At this moment, the team put away the supplies, and
the young man’s clothes finally managed to be worn.

The sound of voices stopped, and Sheng Feng was stunned when he turned his
head. He saw the young man standing in the sunlight, wearing a white knit shirt
and dark blue jeans. His soft black hair was now half-dried and softly hanging
around his ears, with only a few playful roots sticking up.

“F*ck, how does this guy look like a star.”

This sentence simply spoke the thoughts of everyone present. After the end of
the world, even the stars look like a messy dog. How long has it been since they
have seen such a clean person?

This cleanliness refers not only to the appearance but also to the eyes of the
young man, which were that of a child.

“Who are you? Where did you come from? What does it have to do with those
people out there?” Sheng Feng saw that the young man had finished dressing
and walked over to him.

Unexpectedly, the young man really spoke up.

“My name is Qing Yun.” The young man’s voice was clear and soft. It sounded
extremely pleasant to the ears, but Sheng Feng felt that something was not
right.

This person looked too strange; perhaps there was some mental problem?

As for Sheng Feng’s other questions, the young man thought about them briefly.
He didn’t know how to answer them or simply didn’t want to, so he ignored them
and looked down at the shoes on his feet.

The shoes were also sent by the teenager just now, but Qing Yun was not very
good at wearing them, so the laces were tangled in a mess.
Seeing him like this, Sheng Feng only felt that he was suffocating in his heart.
He has always been straightforward in his communication with people. He really
didn’t know how to resolve a situation like this.

At this time, the team doctor Ding Shiang came up. He first went over to tie up
Qing Yun’s shoelaces, and then softened his voice and asked: “Hello Qing Yun,
can you tell me how old you are?”.

On hearing this, Qing Yun turned his head sideways to think carefully, and then
held out five fingers to him: “Five years old!”

The answer shocked everyone present, and the way they looked at Qing Yun
was like looking at a fool.

Ding Shiang’s eyes, however, flashed with a hint of clarity. He knew at first
glance that this person’s state of mind was not right, and now when he asked, it
turned out to be so.

“Well then, Qing Yun, where are your parents?”

Upon hearing this question, Qing Yun fell silent again and looked down at his
toes. There was no sadness or any other emotion on his face, and he even
smiled at the sneakers on his feet when he raised his toes.

Ding Shiang knew at once that he had asked the wrong question. He looked at
the time; it was already late, and the zombies might be here soon, so he cut to
the chase: “Qing Yun can you go with the uncles? It will be dangerous here later,
and there will be many monsters coming.”

Qing Yun tilted his head toward him.

Sheng Feng was leaning on the shelf next to him, listening. Now he suddenly
added in a deep voice: “Very dirty monsters.”

As soon as the words came out, Qing Yun immediately nodded toward them:
“Yes!”

The people who held their breath and waited at the back of the room cheered
when they saw the situation. Having gotten a water-system ability user, even if
they didn’t get any supplies this time, it wouldn’t be a loss.

As the crowd cheered, a young man, who had been silent all along, suddenly
said, “Are you guys just going to take him away? Have you forgotten what
happened to the Mad Lion group outside? What if it has something to do with
him?”

“Lu Changfeng you……” The thirsty teenager looked at the speaker and
subconsciously wanted to retort, but felt that Lu Changfeng was right and
unwillingly shut his mouth.

“Look at his silly face……doesn’t look like he can kill people ah……”.

Several people discussed the matter, and finally, Sheng Feng made the decision:
“Even if he killed the man, should a water-system ability be given up?”

The rest of the people suddenly felt that it was right and would just take the
usual precautions. This man killed the G Base’s Mad Lion, so it was good for their
H Base no matter what.

The decision was made, and they led Qing Yun to the exit of the supermarket.

As they walked past the warehouse, Sheng Feng suddenly paused and pointed to
a few bodies in the warehouse and asked Qing Yun, “Do you know them?”.
Qing Yun shook his head blankly, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He
tilted his head up and asked Sheng Feng in a soft voice, “What are they doing?
Not going?”

Several of Sheng Feng’s people suddenly felt like they had suffered from this
childlike question from Qing Yun. Sheng Feng looked into these innocent eyes
and tried to hold back his words. In the end, he didn’t tell the truth but only spat
out one sentence: “They won’t leave.”

Only Lu Changfeng yawned and asked, “They’re dead, did you kill them?”

Qing Yun looked at him with a puzzled expression. His bright eyes flashed
blankly, obviously not understanding what he meant, so he ignored it.

Just as a few people talked, Sheng Feng suddenly heard the sound of claws
scratching the glass outside the supermarket. He was immediately alarmed and
said, “The zombies are coming, the original exit is blocked, let’s go.”

With that said, Sheng Feng took the lead and ran towards the window where
Qing Yun had just been. Going up against the zombies wasn’t a good choice
since the H Base didn’t have enough weapons, so they all avoided it as much as
they could.

With their strong reflexes developed in the end times, these people ran after
Sheng Feng almost instantly.

However, Sheng Feng turned his head and immediately felt some headache.
Qing Yun was slowly falling behind, obviously not understanding why they were
running so fast. With no other choice, Sheng Feng could only turn around and
prepare to carry the person on his shoulders.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly soft youth acted very quickly and dodged Sheng
Feng’s hand.
Sheng Feng’s brow furrowed, but he still caught the person in his arms the
second time.

Qing Yun immediately began to squirm violently. He looked down and saw that
his snow-white shirt was stained with black marks. For the first time, an anxious
expression appeared on his face as he punched Sheng Feng’s back desperately,
“Let go! Don’t want you!”

Damn, why did I find such a burden! Sheng Feng was tempted to curse him, but
he could only shout, “Don’t move!”

Unfortunately, Qing Yun was not intimidated by him, and his mind was filled with
his soiled clothes.

He just ruthlessly escorted the person to jump out of the window and ran
towards the car. When he stuffed the person into the vehicle, Sheng Feng’s
entire body was panting. He did not expect this person to struggle so hard with
his thin small arms and legs.

Sitting in the car, Qing Yun tugged on the front of his knit shirt, looking at a
black stain on it, and almost had tears in his eyes.

The young man who had helped Qing Yun with his clothes came over again. He
looked at Qing Yun and whispered: “My name is Chen Shen, and I have clean
clothes over there. If you give me some water to drink, I’ll give you some
clothes.

Chen Shen was afraid that Qing Yun didn’t understand, so he said, “That’s the
one on top of your head before, water, water!”

With that, a huge water balloon appeared in the car.

The crowd in the car immediately howled and jumped on it, devouring the giant
ball of water.

“Oh my, I finally get to drink clean water, much better than the one with the
purifier!”

“Don’t take it from me!”

The huge ball of water soon disappeared without a trace, and the satiated crowd
patted their bellies and gasped happily.

Sheng Feng drove the car and was unable to grab a drink. Now, he could only
frown and endure the thirst in his mouth. Lu Changfeng, who was sitting in the
passenger seat, didn’t lean over either. He carefully stared at Qing Yun and
observed his appearance while everyone was grabbing water.

“Brother Feng, don’t you think there’s something wrong with this Qing Yun? He
just suddenly appeared there.”

Hearing that it was Lu Changfeng who spoke, Sheng Feng slightly tempered his
expression: “Something is wrong, but it doesn’t seem like a threat.”

Lu Changfeng still had some doubts on his face when he heard this.

Sheng Feng chuckled at the sight, “You are usually quite sluggish, but you are
actually quite alert.”

He said as he patted Lu Changfeng’s shoulder with his free hand, “Don’t worry,
I’ll protect you even if it’s dangerous. I promised your father that I’d bring you
back safely.”
Sheng Feng was not from H Base but stayed in B City because he had been
saved by Lu Changfeng’s father, so he went to H Base to bring Lu Changfeng
back to the city to repay the kindness.

This time, Sheng Feng didn’t go back to the base directly because he had saved
a group of people when he first came to look for supplies. This group of people
just happened to be going to the H base, so the team decided to do a favor to
bring people back. After all, there were elderly, weak women and children in this
group. If they walk to the city by themselves, they might lose a lot of manpower.

It was not convenient for Sheng Feng to take them with him when he went to
the supermarket, so he placed them in an abandoned gas station.

With the people in tow, Sheng Feng headed to the H Base without stopping.
Don’t blame him for being anxious, but after taking a group of people with him,
the whole team was slowed down more than twice as much, and he was afraid it
would take more than a week to get back to the h base.

The team doctor, Ding Shiang, came to see Sheng Feng because of the matter of
Qing Yun.

“Captain, I gave the new water-system user a simple psychological test and
found that his mind is really only five years old at most.” Ding Shiang smiled
incredulously at Sheng Feng, “Not only that, he lacks common sense and can’t
even distinguish between daily necessities, but his learning ability is very strong.”

“Also, I tried to ask him about his past, but I didn’t get an answer. But from this,
we can also see that he is not lying to us. Otherwise, he wouldn’t avoid
answering these sensitive questions.”

“Okay, I understand. You guys can just arrange his work as usual.” Sheng Feng
didn’t care too much about Qing Yun. He was just a new ability user in the team,
and although the way he met him was quite strange, in his mind, there was no
difference between Qing Yun and the people he saved on the road.
When they reach the H Base, it would not be his responsibility. After all, Sheng
Feng’s purpose was only to safely take away Lu Changfeng.

Although he is a valuable water ability user, Qing Yun’s life in the team was not
easy.

At first, when they heard that he was a water ability user, all the people in the
team were delighted and came over to get close to him. However, they found
that this man seemed to be abnormal. He was a grown person and still acted like
a child.

Since then, these people have treated Qing Yun differently than they treated
other people with abilities.

They did not respect him. They just shouted and ordered him around.

But Qing Yun didn’t care; he didn’t care about anyone in the group, to be precise.
He just followed the group, and when the group took a break, he just wandered
around by himself, looking at the sky or at the ground. There were always many
things that could attract his attention.

The five-year-old Qing Yun was curious about everything in this world. Although
he didn’t understand why he was here, Qing Yun felt good about it. He was also
able to walk and jump for the first time with his new body.

“Xiao Bao, come back quickly! Don’t go there!”

A child who was just able to run came over to Qing Yun. His mother saw him and
immediately shouted, calling the child back. Then some words reached Qing
Yun’s ears: “I told you not to go over there. That’s a fool, and what if you
become stupid after playing with him?
Qing Yun quietly looked at the mother. He remembered that last night, she had
come to his side and begged a cup of water for the child in her arms.

The team stationed themselves, set up a pot, and started cooking.

“Hey! That little idiot over there, come and get me some water!” Someone called
out to Qing Yun.

Qing Yun put down the blade of grass in his hand and walked over slowly: “My
name is Qing Yun.” He stressed seriously toward the cook by the pot.

He emphasized earnestly toward the cook by the pot, but his tone was too soft
and gentle to attract anyone’s attention.

“I know, I know, quickly fill the pot with water and the two buckets beside it.”
The cook ignored him and just brought out two more buckets, “Hurry up and do
it, or you won’t be fed tonight.”

Ding Shiang came out of Sheng Feng’s car and frowned at the scene, but he
didn’t say anything.

It was not suitable for those with abilities to settle common disputes within the
team. In fact, they even lived and ate in separate places during ordinary days.
Qing Yun should have joined them, but he was not particularly accepted by the
ability users. After the initial excitement passed, there was only cold treatment.

Although Qing Yun is not intelligent enough, he was not willing to use his
handicap to please others. He has always been indifferent. Even if no one plays
with him, he can play with his fingers for half a day. If someone talks to him, it
depends on whether or not he was willing to pay attention to them.

Qing Yun looked at a pot and two buckets in front of him but did not move.
Lu Changfeng got down from Sheng Feng’s car and walked over to this side:
“Master Zhang, what are you cooking for tonight?”

“Yo, Young Master Lu!” Master Zhang’s face immediately changed, and he
leaned over with a smile on his face and asked, “Does Captain Sheng want to
eat here tonight?”

“It is because I wanted to try the food from your side, and Brother Feng will
accompany me.” Lu Changfeng arrogantly smiled.

“Then I’ll have to do it right tonight!” Master Zhang immediately turned around
and went to work, not forgetting to reprimand Qing Yun, “Why don’t you hurry
up? What have you been doing all this time? A fool is a fool……”

Lu Changfeng hooked his lips and smiled.

Lu Changfeng did not reveal his ability, but because of Sheng Feng’s favor, he
was still treated with courtesy in the team. Master Zhang even heard that it was
for the sake of this young master Lu that Captain Sheng, who has level 8 ability,
rushed from B city to the H base. As a result, he was even more accommodating
to Lu Changfeng.

Master Zhang wasn’t that uncomfortable with the child. Qing Yun was actually
very nice and didn’t act like an ability user. But because of the hostility that Lu
Changfeng showed towards Qing Yun, many people in the team stayed away
from him.

After all, Qing Yun, a water ability user, could only emit a water balloon and had
no other exceptional abilities.
Lu Changfeng frowned at Qing Yun, who had been bad-mouthed but still did not
show any anger.

He did not mean to target Qing Yun, nor was he really so bad as to bully a fool.
He just felt something wrong with him, so he used all kinds of bad words to test
Qing Yun. He didn’t believe that Qing Yun had such a simple child’s mind.

What made Lu Changfeng unable to get over it was that his ability had a great
reaction to Qing Yun. Lu Changfeng’s ability was so unique that they were unlike
anyone else’s in the world, so much so that he didn’t dare to tell them.

He could absorb other people’s abilities. No matter what kind of ability they had,
as long as they were of a lower level than his, and he could figure out what they
could do, they could be absorbed by him. The person whose abilities are
absorbed by him will die without exception. At the same time, Lu Changfeng will
acquire that person’s abilities intact.

Scary, isn’t it?

However, Lu Changfeng did not have the kind of obvious reaction to everyone’s
abilities. Qing Yun was the first one, so Lu Changfeng believed that Qing Yun
was definitely not a simple water-system user.

Especially recently, Lu Changfeng also noticed that the clothes on Qing Yun’s
body were not dirty anymore after arriving at the base. Even the stains that
Sheng Feng had put on them when he carried him had disappeared.

Thinking this way, Lu Changfeng leaned in close to Qing Yun again and said,
“Hey, little fool, did you have any nightmares last night? Did those dead people
come to you?”

Afterward, he withdrew his body and raised his chin toward the pot on the floor,
“Hurry up and put water in it, or you won’t even have leftovers tonight!”
As soon as Lu Changfeng finished speaking, he saw a flash of fire, and then
suddenly there was a loud boom, and the whole pot exploded.

There was a burning sensation. When Lu Changfeng lifted his hands and wiped
his face, he saw black ash and noticed that his eyebrows were all burned clean.

Master Zhang, who was standing beside him, was stunned. The people sitting far
away outside were also staring at this side in shock.

What did they just see?

Did that idiot Qing Yun throw a fireball into the pot? Wasn’t he a water user who
could only make balls of water?

The author has something to say: When the MC’s mind is only five years old, the
ML will not have any unusual actions or thoughts, so it is not pedophilia!
Chapter 51

Ignoring the people around him, Qing Yun turned around, wrinkled his nose, and
walked away.

Compared to other people in the team, he hated Lu Changfeng the most. This
person was always nagging at him and saying some strange things that he
couldn’t understand.

Although he didn’t understand it, Qing Yun sensed Lu Changfeng’s malice, so he

wouldn’t listen to this person.

The fireball thrown by Qing Yun not only burned all of Lu Changfeng’s eyebrows
and hair but also blew up a pot. So now, the whole team was left with only one
pot, which means that, except for those with abilities like Sheng Feng, the rest
of the group had no food to eat tonight.

In the end times, this was the only meal people can eat outside in a day.

Despite being shocked by Qing Yun’s fireball, the complaints continued to flow
through the group and directly brought out Sheng Feng in the car.

“What’s going on?” Sheng Feng frowned and asked, his tall body standing there.
A sense of oppression spread out, and the messy station instantly quieted down.

Ding Shiang stared at Qing Yun with surprise and immediately came over to
explain to Sheng Feng: “That kid named Qing Yun just now actually threw a
fireball?”

“Fireball? Dual system abilities?” Sheng Feng was not too surprised. After all, it
was not uncommon for similar cases to happen.
“Brother Feng, that kid even attacked me without saying a word and blew up a
pot. We probably won’t have food to eat tonight.” Lu Changfeng’s face was pitch
black as he walked over. The fire only burned off his hair but didn’t cause any
severe burns.

“Blew up a pot?” Sheng Feng’s brow wrinkled as he turned toward Ding Shiang
and said, “Call him over to me, and give everyone a share of the food from the
other side.”

In fact, Sheng Feng’s impression of Qing Yun is really not very good. If not for
Qing Yun’s water ability, he would have been more inclined to leave this burden
behind than take the person away.

This is because Qing Yun really does not fit in with the end of the world. When
everyone has been running for their lives and living miserably, Qing Yun is
always white and clean like a rich young master. A lot of people don’t even look
as good as him before the end of the world.

This is also the reason why so many people on the team don’t like him. Jealousy
will always exist.

However, Sheng Feng rejected him because his eyes were too clean. In this era
where the legal system has dissipated, and the dark side of human nature is
exposed, Qing Yun’s eyes still maintain the clarity of a child, and all the filth in
this world seems to have nothing to do with him.

This kind of cleanliness even made Sheng Feng a little afraid.

Ding Shiang half coaxed Qing Yun into Sheng Feng’s car, and he couldn’t help
but wipe the cold sweat off his head. This childlike person is stubborn as hell,
but with that kind of look in his eyes, Ding Shiang could not bear to deceive him,
and it took a lot of effort to coax Qing Yun to come here.

“You have a fire ability?” Sheng Feng asked straightforwardly; his patience was
never placed in such places.
Qing Yun ignored him and just looked up at the space inside this car. He looked
at the steering wheel on the driver’s side as if he was seeing something rare.

“I’m asking you something.” Sheng Feng’s voice slowly turned cold, and a hint of
the pressure of a powerful man was released.

Qing Yun finally looked at him directly, his voice was soft, but the content of his
words made people choke: “Why should I answer you?”

Sheng Feng took a deep breath and restrained himself from getting angry. It
was strange that he could always make Sheng Feng suffer internal injuries every
time he communicated with this person. He has never had this experience; after
all, Qing Yun’s mind is still only five years old, he couldn’t yell, and he couldn’t
speak clearly.

“Today, you threw a fireball into the pot, causing the team to be unable to eat,
which is wrong, okay?” Sheng Feng silently chanted several times, “It’s just a
child,” before turning to Qing Yun and reasoning with him.

“They don’t want me to eat, so I won’t let them eat either.” Qing Yun’s words
were childlike and straightforward, directly rejecting Sheng Feng’s “reasoning”.

Sheng Feng opened his mouth to rebuke, but he noticed something wrong in his
words and turned to ask Lu Changfeng and Ding Shiang behind him, “What’s
going on? Who won’t let him eat?”

Ding Shiang and Lu Changfeng suddenly choked.

Because there are no technical personnel in the H base team, Sheng Feng, the
captain, had to fill the vacancy and monitor the route through the satellite to
avoid the zombies. Sheng Feng basically stayed in the car, so he really did not
know what was happening outside these days.
Lu Changfeng complained as he wiped his face: “It’s just that I told you to
release water, and you didn’t, so I scared you.”

He couldn’t help but curse himself for his mistake. This kid is really just like a
child, and his words are too straightforward.

“Why do I have to give you water if you want it? If I don’t want to give it, I
won’t.”

The words remained the same, but it made Sheng Feng fire up: “The team
protects your safety, while you provide water to the team. This is what should
be done. If you don’t want to stay here, leave immediately!”

Who would have thought that as soon as he said that, the child in front of him
nodded seriously, like he was literally waiting for these words.

“Good!” Qing Yun immediately stood up and walked out of the car. Looking at his
jumpy steps, it was like a very happy thing for him to leave here.

Outside the camp is the dark forest, and now the plants have also undergone
mutation. It was initially just a row of roadside trees, but now it has grown
incredibly dense.

Watching the child bouncing and about to enter the forest, Sheng Feng’s mind
flashed back to his clean eyes. He couldn’t resist following out of the car, and
once he was out, he heard a woman not far away muttering while feeding her
child.

“The little idiot won’t let my baby eat, but look, the captain is disciplining him,
right?” The voice seemed to be cautious of Qing Yun’s fire ability, so it was
suppressed extremely low, but that insulting name still reached Sheng Feng’s
ears.
The people outside also saw Qing Yun walking into the forest. Still, they didn’t
take it seriously because they didn’t believe that such a foolish guy would dare
leave the group.

Sheng Feng stood at the door of the car and swept through the entire site. They
all received food and were nibbling on the side. But it was still different from the
previous state where they could only eat dry food. After all, now they could have
a glass of water to moisten their throats.

Some people received instant noodles with boiling hot water to eat.

And behind him, Lu Changfeng also took a wet towel and wiped the black dust
from his face.

And didn’t Sheng Feng gulp down several cups of water today?

Everyone benefited from this child’s kindness, but when they saw him walking
into the dangerous forest, no one stepped forward to stop him and keep him.
Even Chen Shen, who had been quite kind to Qing Yun at the beginning,
pretended to be blind at this moment.

Someone called him a little fool, someone made threats to keep him from eating.
Is this how they treat that child?

Sheng Feng instantly felt his face turn red. He looked at the faraway figure that
was about to be engulfed by darkness, and he couldn’t help but roar out, “Come
back here!”

The figure didn’t pause at all; it just ran and jumped happily and was about to
plunge into the darkness.
Sheng Feng cursed, directly chased after him with big steps, and carried the
person back.

“Let go! You’re dirty!” The child still struggled as he did the first time, but Sheng
Feng’s heart seemed out of sorts and couldn’t harden up at all.

The child kicked his body, and Sheng Feng couldn’t help but curse in his mind for
his stubbornness. When he carried the person all the way to the car and put him
on the car seat, Sheng Feng still eased his strength. He tensed his face, and
without speaking, he just threw a can at Qing Yun.

Qing Yun had no intention of picking it up but just looked down at his dirty
clothes and let the can roll down. He even lifted his foot and kicked it a little
further away in anger.

Sheng Feng’s face darkened again when he saw this. He didn’t say anything and
just opened the can and put it beside Qing Yun again. But Qing Yun still ignored
him and stood up to go out.

“Don’t you dare go.” Sheng Feng turned his back on him as he said in a cold
voice, “As soon as you get out of the car, I’ll push you to the ground and roll you
around. Then you’ll be even dirtier.”

This really worked, and Qing Yun immediately retraced the steps he was about
to take.

Sheng Feng saw from the rearview mirror that the child flattened his mouth and
turned back to sit. A smile flashed in his eyes; he had never seen such a clean
person.

Seeing that Qing Yun still didn’t touch the can around him, Sheng Feng
threatened with a familiar expression: “Eat, or I’ll pour the cans on you.”
As soon as Sheng Feng looked up, he saw that the child’s eyes were instantly
red and immediately felt a guilty sense of bullying the child. He reluctantly
turned around and handed a pair of clean chopsticks to Qing Yun.

Qing Yun reluctantly took the chopsticks and started to slowly pick up the can.

Ding Shiang and Lu Changfeng watched as Sheng Feng carried the person back,
and suddenly understood his attitude as well.

Especially Lu Changfeng. He was relieved to see that Qing Yun was brought back.
If this person had gotten away, where would he find him?

Sheng Feng looked up to Ding Shiang and said: “The water supply will be cut off
for three days, and Qing Yun will live with me. This car is spacious, and with
Changfeng, the three of us can live here.

Ding Shiang answered, but Lu Changfeng frowned. With Sheng Feng around,
there were some things he could not do.

The water supply was suspended for two days, and when this news came out,
there were immediate protests.

“Isn’t there a water system ability user? Why stop the water?”

“What’s the point of having him when the water is shut off?”

“What’s the matter? Won’t having him let water out help him practice his ability?”

Sheng Feng directly and forcefully suppressed the dissent. His sharp eyes swept
over the corner that was causing the most commotion: “Don’t ordinary people
without supernormal abilities just follow the team without doing anything? In
that case, what’s the use of having you?”
A large part of the voices were silenced at once.

“In these three days, whoever wants to drink water, go ask Qing Yun himself. He
can give it to you if he wants, but if not, then forget it.” With these words,
Sheng Feng turned around and left to check out the front.

In another three or four days, they will almost arrive at the H base. By then,
they will leave and will not be able to help this child even if they want to.

The next night when the team stopped again, Qing Yun woke up leisurely from
the car when he heard a noise.

He turned around and saw a new set of clean clothes beside him. The car was
empty except for him, and even the man who usually stayed in the driver’s seat
had left.

After changing his clothes, he took his old clothes and took a closer look at them.
Suddenly, the stains on the clothes gradually disappeared and became clean like
new.

Looking at the clean clothes, Qing Yun nodded his head in satisfaction, though
he was very tired. Afterward, he recalled the actions of a certain space ability in
the team and saw the clothes in his hands disappear without a trace.

After doing all this, Qing Yun opened the car door and jumped out of the car,
obviously in a good mood.

Qing Yun didn’t like to stay in the car. Every time the group stopped, he would
run out to play. Today, as soon as he got out of the car, he was immediately
blocked by several people who were grinning hard as they asked him for water.
Qing Yun didn’t like them, so he took a turn and walked away. These people’s
expressions immediately became even more distorted.

Since Qing Yun’s arrival, the people in the team have been living a life with
plenty of water. Every time, it was easy to ask for water from Qing Yun. So one
way or another, these people actually forgot about the extreme thirst that comes
with the end times and the pain of drinking contaminated water.

Sheng Feng’s order undoubtedly immediately knocked them back to their

original state, and they also offended Qing Yun previously. This person seemed
to be very nice to talk to, but unexpectedly, he held a grudge.

He went to the side of the stone and sat down. Qing Yun looked at the setting
sun and couldn’t help but look at his new clothes again. He knew who gave it to
him because the clothes still had a trace of the man’s scent, and for some
reason, Qing Yun was very familiar with this scent and did not reject it much.

But thinking of the man’s threat last night, Qing Yun couldn’t help but bite his lip.
He still found this man very annoying.

Suddenly the fluttering of two wings sounded, and Qing Yun subconsciously
looked up and saw two gray birds flying towards the woods. Qing Yun’s eyes lit
up, and he almost followed after them.

At that moment, a very annoying voice came over, and Qing Yun turned around
to see Lu Changfeng walking over.

Lu Changfeng looked at him staring dumbly at the pigeons, and could not help
but mock: “You are looking at the birds like this. Do you expect them to fall
down on their own or what?”

Qing Yun has been living in the car with him since last night, and it is reasonable
to say that it should have been easier for him to do something. But during the
day, in the presence of Sheng Feng, Lu Changfeng could not open his mouth as
usual to test Qing Yun, and at night, Sheng Feng was still awake like a cheetah.
The slightest movement could not be hidden from him.

And because of the close contact with Qing Yun, Lu Changfeng’s ability was even
more stirring, but he could only watch.

As usual, Qing Yun didn’t say anything, just turned his head to look at Lu
Changfeng, and then looked up at the bird.

The corner of Lu Changfeng’s mouth pulled out a mocking arc, and just when he
was about to speak, he heard a “pop” sound. The bird really fell from the sky
and crashed into Qing Yun’s feet.

yuzu: Sorry for being gone. Sadly, both my grandmothers passed away days
apart, so I had to take a break from translating. I’ll still be doing 1 or 2 chapters
each week, I have little time to translate now since I’ve been very busy with
school work, so please bear with me �
Chapter 52

Qing Yun’s face blossomed into a smile, and then he grabbed the dizzy pigeon
on the ground and headed towards the station.

Lu Changfeng stood behind him, completely frozen, and slowly turned his head
to look at Qing Yun’s back. Qing Yun’s series of abnormal behavior finally
connected in his mind.

The water ball will come out if he wants to, the fireball will appear if he wants to,
and his clothes that somehow became clean, and the bird that fell down when he
said so. Could it be that this kid’s ability is to make things happen with his mind?

Thinking of this, Lu Changfeng’s breathing ragged up, looking at Qing Yun with a
gaze full of wonder and faint greed. If it is really this ability, then he……

Qing Yun ignored Lu Changfeng and only happily held the pigeon in his arms as
he walked towards the car. He passed through the busy crowd outside, and the
“cooing” of the pigeon in his arms drew people’s attention.

This is a pigeon that has not been mutated?

At once, several beams of greedy eyes locked on Qing Yun. These people
followed the team forward, and their daily food was distributed collectively. Each
person could only have one meal. So after seeing the pigeon in Qing Yun’s hand,
they could not suppress the saliva secreted in their mouths.

“Kid, where did you get that pigeon in your hand?” Finally, someone couldn’t
resist asking him.

Qing Yun glanced at the man and then walked around him as if he hadn’t heard.
He remembered that this man had been mean to him yesterday.
“Hey, don’t go. Did you not hear what I asked you?” He went up to grab Qing
Yun, but thought of Sheng Feng’s order yesterday and withdrew his hand.
Besides, Qing Yun only threw a fireball yesterday, and it was still very
intimidating to them. No one in the whole group dared to shout at him like they
did before.

Another other person came over and looked at Qing Yun and said, “He’s stupid.
He can’t even understand when you say this.”

This person walked over to Qing Yun, reached out, and took out a shiny ball. He
smiled and said in a coaxing tone, “Look at this ball, is it beautiful? Will you give
me something you have for it?”

The shining colorful sphere immediately caught Qing Yun’s eyes. He stared at it
for a while, but after looking at the crying pigeon in his arms, he still shook his
head.

As soon as they saw that this method could be useful, the people who were
standing around instantly swarmed up and took out all kinds of strange things
that were not useful in the last days to exchange with Qing Yun for the pigeon in
his hands.

Qing Yun is very smart, and when he saw this situation, he treasured the pigeon
in his arms even more. He walked forward silently and learned to bargain when
he came across a toy that really caught his eye. He asked the man, “Can I trade
water for this?”

As soon as Sheng Feng returned, he saw the scene of a group of people

surrounding the child and immediately frowned.

In fact, Qing Yun is very tall and slim. Before the end of the world came, he
must have been very attractive to young girls. But now, with the pure childish
expression on his face and his clear eyes, Sheng Feng’s heart felt inexplicably
soft.
He walked over and heard the chatter around him. He looked at the pigeon Qing
Yun was holding in his arms and the things in the hands of the people
surrounding him. Sheng Feng instantly understood what Qing Yun had
encountered.

He could not help but sigh secretly. Even though these people realized the
benefits that Qing Yun’s water ability brought them and no longer spoke
unscrupulously and viciously, they still treated Qing Yun as a fool. That’s why
they can bravely take these useless things in exchange for the precious food in
his hands.

“What are you all doing around here?” Sheng Feng spoke coldly. His low and
unpleasant voice instantly silenced the people surrounding Qing Yun.

“If you want food, go find it yourself. What kind of skill is it to coax something
out of a child!”

The vaguely protective words shocked the ears of this group of people. They saw
Sheng Feng coming and had no face to exchange things with Qing Yun anymore,
so they dispersed.

Sheng Feng came closer and looked at the pigeon fluttering its wings in Qing
Yun’s arms. He shook his head and smiled: “You are lucky.”

As he said this, he raised his hand and pinched off the pigeon’s neck, and patted
Qing Yun’s head with the other hand: “Clean up after yourself, roast it and eat it.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sheng Feng felt something was wrong. He
watched Qing Yun stare down at the pigeon with its neck crooked and motionless
in his arms, and then his eyes grew increasingly red. Finally, bean-sized
teardrops shook in his eyes and rolled out.

Now, surprisingly, he is the one who made the person cry.

“What did you do to it?” Qing Yun burst into tears and just looked up at Sheng
Feng. Although he did not understand death, he felt sensitive to the passage of
life, so he cried even more fiercely.

Sheng Feng was dumbfounded and scrambled to reach out with calloused fingers
to wipe the tears on the child’s face. He couldn’t get the point of Qing Yun crying
for no apparent reason. But to make a five-year-old child cry, this self-
awareness still made Sheng Feng sweat with embarrassment.

He wiped the tears, rubbing the child’s white cheeks red while explaining in a
flustered manner.

“Aren’t you worried about this pigeon flying away?”

“If it’s dead, it won’t fly away!”

“Don’t you want to eat it? Hey, don’t cry, pigeon meat is delicious……”

Sheng Feng, who plucked and washed the pigeon, put them on the fire and
sizzled them, and even sprinkled them with seasoning, was still a little confused.
He did not understand how things could develop like this and how he would coax
the child like a nanny.

Next to him, Qing Yun looked at the fire and sniffed again. Sheng Feng’s hand
shook, and his mouth naturally spat out the coaxing words: “It will be ready
soon, and when you eat it, you will know that I did not lie to you, eh?”

The fragrance of grease mixed with seasoning’s spicy aroma drilled into Qing
Yun’s nose, and he felt his stomach involuntarily growl twice. But looking at the
fire on the face of the pigeon, Qing Yun still had red eyes, his voice was also still
with a sob: “I do not want to eat, I want to see it fly……”
At that, Sheng Feng looked at the sky and rolled his eyes. A huge sense of
powerlessness enveloped his whole body. He felt that he could punch a bear to
death, but listening to the young man’s soft voice around him, he could not get
angry at all.

It has been half a year since the end of the world. The water is polluted, the land
is contaminated, plants and animals are mutated, and humans can only live on
the food produced before the end of the world. In this environment, just like
Sheng Feng could not think that someone can be sad because of the dirt, he also
could not believe that Qing Yun caught a pigeon and did not want to eat it but
just wanted to play?

Damn, who taught this kid? This person is going to starve to death before being
eaten by zombies.

Thinking of this, Sheng Feng looked at Qing Yun’s pure and flawless eyes and
slowly cooled down. Seeing the pigeon on the fire has been roasted, Sheng Feng
put the stick in his hand to cool and handed it to Qing Yun.

With a commanding tone, he said, “Eat.”

Qing Yun did not take it. The aroma of meat was extremely tempting to him,
who had not eaten anything today, but Qing Yun still did not want to eat. To
stop his stupid arms, he even put his hands behind his back while looking away.

However, Sheng Feng did not allow his attitude, and he directly tore off the meat
and handed it to the other’s mouth: “Open your mouth and eat.”

Qing Yun’s eyes began to flood with tears again. He thought this person was so
annoying, did not understand what he said, and even made his pigeon into food
just like that.

“I don’t want to eat it……” Qing Yun explained seriously towards Sheng Feng.
But the man’s attitude did not budge in the slightest, and he even stuffed the
meat into his mouth when he opened it to speak. Finally, Qing Yun could not
bear the hunger and subconsciously chewed what was in his mouth, but the
tears flowed down again.

Sheng Feng was not moved; he knew Qing Yun could not hold it, because the
boy had not eaten anything since last night, except for a small can of food.

“Remember, in the future, non-dangerous animals like pigeons are your food.
When you catch them, kill and eat them immediately. Otherwise, others will grab
them from you.” Sheng Feng used cold and hard words to teach Qing Yun the
laws of this post-apocalyptic world.

Qing Yun tears flowed more fiercely, and the pair of clear eyes dipped in tears,
flashed with confusion.

The hand kept feeding the meat into Qing Yun’s mouth. Sheng Feng looked at
Qing Yun’s eyes and suddenly understood the trace of fear in his heart. Why did
he feel fear when he saw the child’s clear eyes?

Because he knows that in this morally degraded post-apocalyptic world, this

purest light will slowly fade away. Perhaps one day, when Sheng Feng sees Qing
Yun again, he would see a pair of eyes full of wildness and predation.

Sheng Feng was afraid that he did not have the ability to protect the clarity in
these eyes.

Hot tears fell on Sheng Feng’s fingers, and his hand retracted. The strange
feeling that was strongly suppressed in the bottom of his heart was like a fire
that was passionately surging, making Sheng Feng’s heart uncomfortable.

Looking at the teardrops in his hand, Sheng Feng suddenly couldn’t reach out.
He quietly gazed at Qing Yun’s eyes, which was like a spring, gurgling out clear
tears.
He seemed to shed not only his own tears but also the struggle in the hearts of
all humans when the end times came.

“Okay! Don’t cry.” Sheng Feng finally could not resist, reaching out to embrace
the crying child in front of him into his arms. His oil-stained hands patted Qing
Yun’s back as he awkwardly comforted the person, “Okay, don’t cry, don’t cry,
don’t eat if you don’t want to……”

Sheng Feng felt the child in his arms gently pushing him with a cat-like force. He
was sobbing and choking, unable to say a complete sentence.

“Ok, it’s okay, it’s my fault.”

“If you want to raise another, I’ll catch one for you someday, okay?” Sheng Feng
seemed to exhaust all the tenderness he could imagine, comforting the child in
his arms. He thought that even though these eyes would be tinted with other
colors later, he did not want to have them painted by him personally.

“You……your hands…dirty!” Qing Yun still remembered the oil on his hands at
this moment, and finally huffed the words out.

Hearing his words, Sheng Feng couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He withdrew his
body to look at the tear-filled child in his arms and couldn’t help but reach out
and pinch his soft cheeks: “Crying like this, aren’t you dirtier than me?”

Seeing that Qing Yun’s face was red with anger because of his words, Sheng
Feng hurriedly took the person into his arms again and soothed him.

He did not notice that Qing Yun, who was sobbing with his chin on his shoulder,
suddenly stopped crying. His eyes changed from confusion and frustration to an
extreme calmness. Still, this calmness was abruptly broken to reveal a touch of
undisguised anger.
However, this flash of emotion only lasted less than a second before it abruptly
disappeared and reverted to the previous grievance.

yuzu: Thank you for all your concern, I hope you guys are doing well ♥
Chapter 53

Qing Yun rubbed his eyes and did not feel that something was wrong with him
just now, but struggled in Sheng Feng’s arms.

Sheng Feng couldn’t resist him, so he had to release the person. He took out a
clean handkerchief, let Qing Yun wet it with water, and gently wiped his face.

It was getting late; others had long gone back to their vehicles, leaving only
Sheng Feng and Qing Yun sitting outside. Sheng Feng was afraid that he would
catch a cold, so he patted Qing Yun and told him to go back to the car. He took
advantage of his absence and swallowed the pigeon in his hand whole.

When Sheng Feng returned to the car, Qing Yun was already sleeping in the
passenger seat. He wanted to call him up to eat some more but thought that the
kid did not have the appetite to eat anything else. So he gave up and took a
blanket to cover him before he closed his eyes and took a nap.

But Lu Changfeng, who was sleeping in the back seat, woke up and called out to
Sheng Feng: “Brother Feng, how are you……”

How come you are suddenly attracted to this fool?

“Shh.” Sheng Feng interrupted Lu Changfeng’s words and pointed to Qing Yun,
who was moving restlessly in his seat, silencing Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng had no choice but to fall asleep again.

On the other hand, Sheng Feng adjusted the angle of Qing Yun’s seat again
before slowly closing his eyes. He certainly knew what Lu Changfeng was going
to ask, and the answer to this question, Sheng Feng himself, did not know.
He only knows that when that tear hit his hand, he suddenly felt that this scene
was so familiar that his heart ached, and even more so, his heart was instantly
softened.

So what if he doesn’t know how to behave? What’s wrong with being out of place?
He is there to support him.

Lu Changfeng, who was asleep in the back seat, frowned in the darkness. Sheng
Feng was becoming increasingly concerned about this fool, and yesterday he
was only vaguely defending him, but now he seems to be somewhat spoiling him.

It must be said that this has a significant impact on Lu Changfeng’s plans. With
Sheng Feng watching all the time, how is he going to take Qing Yun’s powers?
Now, it seems that the harsh words like before will not work. What if this kid
complains to Sheng Feng?

Remembering the speculation in his mind about Qing Yun’s ability, Lu Changfeng
could barely suppress his heavy breathing. If it is really what the heart wants,
then the last days’ environment will not affect Lu Changfeng at all, and perhaps
he can do more……

Now Lu Changfeng has only two ways to go. One is to coax this fool over and
quickly take his powers while he is not prepared. The other is to disrupt him and
Sheng Feng’s relationship and make Sheng Feng completely disgusted with him.

After all, Lu Changfeng doesn’t want to go up against Sheng Feng now.

When Qing Yun woke up the next day, the convoy was moving on the road. He
rubbed his eyes, only to feel pain, and the next second, a cold towel was placed
on his face.

“Awake?” The man’s teasing voice rang in his ears, “Your eyes are swollen into
walnuts.”
Qing Yun instantly thought of last night’s encounter and immediately turned his
back to ignore him.

“Be good, don’t make a fuss, get yourself something to eat.”

Sheng Feng drove the car. His voice was low with a little doting and tenderness,
which made Qing Yun stunned. He turned his head and looked at Sheng Feng
with a pair of red and swollen eyes. His gaze was mixed with a trace of doubt.

Whether it was after coming to this world or before, five-year-old Qing Yun had
never been treated with such tenderness. This kind of voice, he had only heard
from afar when watching other people’s parents call out to their children, but
never thought someone would speak to him like this.

Seeing that Qing Yun was frozen, Sheng Feng also turned his head and
instructed Lu Changfeng. “Get him something to eat. I remember there is a can
of luncheon meat. Take it out and open it for him.”

He added, “Bring him a pair of chopsticks. He doesn’t like to eat with his hands.”

Lu Changfeng was stunned. Although he had been prepared last night, he was
still somewhat dumbfounded to see Sheng Feng’s attitude like this again.

The man has always been strong, and even when entrusted by his father to pick
him up, he didn’t act like this. Sheng Feng took care of the people of H base, but
he had never seen him treat anyone like this.

And that can of luncheon meat is a treasure. At the supermarket, he brought

two cans and only gave them to Sheng Feng as the captain, but now Sheng Feng
is giving them to Qing Yun to eat it just like that?
After looking at Qing Yun’s clean face again, Lu Changfeng’s mind moved, and
speculation flooded his eyes. Now in the last days, there are all kinds of things.
Could Sheng Feng possibly be like that?

If this is really the case, then it will be more troublesome for him to act.

After a long time of waiting for Lu Changfeng to move, Sheng Feng frowned and
was just about to speak when he saw that Qing Yun, who was still staring at him
blankly, had bent down and taken out the food himself. Then, he fumbled to
open it and ate it silently.

Sheng Feng found that Qing Yun had not spoken to him all day. He thought it
was because the child had not yet lost his temper, but then he discovered that
he had been quietly sizing him up while he was not paying attention.

He smiled and shook his head. Sheng Feng sighed that it is difficult to guess
what is in the child’s mind, but he didn’t realize that his thoughts were
wandering off to raising a child.

After the team was stationed today, Sheng Feng instructed Qing Yun to stay put
and then walked into the forest alone.

The people on the site found that Qing Yun, who was initially jumpy and lively,
although not very sensitive to people, was surprisingly quiet tonight. He did not
run out to play with grass or pick up leaves and just sat frozen at the door of the
car, looking at the dense jungle in the distance. He did not even refuse when
someone went to ask for water.

Qing Yun has been sitting at the side of the car waiting. He used his little
experienced mind to think about what Sheng Feng meant to him, and his eyes lit
up a little.

Sheng Feng did not return until the moon rose. The people in the camp had
basically finished eating, and as soon as he walked in, he saw a pair of eyes that
were bright even in the darkness. Qing Yun was standing in front of the car
waiting for him.

“Have you eaten properly today?” Sheng Feng asked him. He just wanted to
raise his hand to rub Qing Yun’s head, only to find that his hand was dirty, so he
gave up. He handed the rope in his hand to Qing Yun, “The pigeon promised to
you.”

It is not easy to find a pigeon in the jungle that has not mutated. Sheng Feng
also killed several mutated beasts to find it.

The child in front of him did not take the rope. Sheng Feng thought he did not
like it but found Qing Yun’s face turning red, and then the child jumped into his
arms, and an unmistakable cry came next: “Father!”

Sheng Feng did not have time to be surprised at how the child did not mind him
being dirty this time and was blown away by the crisp call. The people on the
site were still moving around, and those who were close heard Qing Yun’s cry
and turned their heads in surprise to look over.

Especially the group of ability users, Ding Shiang looked at him as if he was a
child abductor bastard.

Sheng Feng’s face turned red, and he hurriedly moved his hands to bring the
person and the pigeon into the car.

“Father, you come……”

Qing Yun tilted his head and tried to say something, but Sheng Feng
immediately stopped him hurriedly: “Shhhh! Don’t shout, I’m not your father!”

Perhaps it was because he refused too harshly, the light in the eyes of the child
in front of him dissipated at speed visible to the naked eye. Sheng Feng
anxiously grabbed his head and turned around: “No, don’t call me father, you
can call me……”

“Call me brother!” After finally finding a suitable name, Sheng Feng breathed a
sigh of relief and squeezed the child’s shoulder to soothe him, “Just call me
brother.”

Qing Yun did not respond, just quietly looked at him, until he saw that Sheng
Feng was at a loss for words. Qing Yun only bowed his head, folded his hands,
and said, “I’m sorry.”

After saying this, Qing Yun sat in the car as if nothing had happened. He
grabbed the pigeon and petted it.

Sheng Feng, however, froze, he looked at Qing Yun, who was acting as if
nothing had happened, and his heart turned slightly sour.

His apology came too quickly, just like the countless times he had been wrong,
and then apologized. Sheng Feng’s heart again surged with a desire to
understand, to ask questions, but in the end, he did not say anything and just
touched the top of the child’s hair.

Sheng Feng felt very sorry, but he surprisingly did not want Qing Yun to call him
father, even if it was just a comfort.

The H base was close by, and although the people in the team were exhausted
to the point of exhaustion, their faces were still overflowing with joy. Sheng
Feng felt that even Lu Changfeng was talking more.

He changed his usual coldness towards Qing Yun and frequently asked about
things.
“Qing Yun, this pigeon of yours is so ugly and gray, wouldn’t it be nice to make it
white?”

At that, both Sheng Feng and Qing Yun turned their heads to look at the pigeon
on the seat. Sheng Feng’s brow faintly wrinkled, the pigeon he caught is ugly?
He subconsciously went to look at the child’s expression.

Only to see that Qing Yun immediately pursed his lips and said, “It’s not ugly.”

Sheng Feng’s brow immediately stretched, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Last night, when he refused the child’s address to him, Sheng Feng’s heart was
vaguely overwhelmed, and he could not help but pay attention to Qing Yun’s
mood.

But Lu Changfeng’s words are not finished. In Sheng Feng’s eyes, this person
seemed to be suddenly bewitched, actually asking questions that even Qing Yun,
a child, found somewhat silly.

“Can you make your pigeons speak human language? Like a parrot or something
like that?”

Qing Yun looked down and thought for a moment, but ignored Lu Changfeng and
turned his head to ask Sheng Feng in a soft voice: “What is a parrot?”

Sheng Feng’s voice instantly softened: “They are birds that can learn to speak
like people.”

Once he heard this, Qing Yun’s eyes lit up, he remembered that birds can also
talk like people, but he did not expect that there was also that kind of birds
when he came to this place.

Looking at the child’s shining eyes, Sheng Feng’s words of promise spat out
without thinking: “Do you want it? If you want it, I will catch one for you later.”
Qing Yun immediately nodded, the corners of his mouth faintly showed a small
arc.

Sheng Feng has never seen the child laughing, the most happy expression is
only a slight curl of the mouth, but this small arc seems to have become the goal
for Sheng Feng.

Subconsciously, he thought about how to catch the two birds. Many people used
to raise such birds, so it should not be difficult to catch them, right?

Lu Changfeng looked at the vaguely warm atmosphere between the two and
could not help but feel a little anxious. It is clear that he asked the question, but
how did it eventually become the promise between these two people? Do not
blame him for being anxious. They will arrive at the base tomorrow, and there
are many people in the base, so it will be even worse for him to act.

Delay after delay, if he could not get Qing Yun’s ability, it will be late.

“Can’t you make a pigeon fall? It should be easy to make it talk too. Do you
want to try?” Lu Changfeng’s voice with hidden urgency rang out.

Qing Yun, however, gave a small yawn under the hot sunlight outside.

Sheng Feng looked at him and heard Lu Changfeng continue, “Think about it, try
it, what if it works?”

“Stop it.” Sheng Feng looked at Lu Changfeng as if he was looking at a fool,

“Qing Yun is sleepy, and you also should stop saying such things.”

Then he put down the passenger seat beside him, pulled a soft pillow to the top,
and said to Qing Yun: “It will be a long time before stationing. Sleep a little if
you are sleepy.”
Lu Changfeng was choked by Sheng Feng’s words with vague dislike, but how
could he give up on it, so he said sarcastically, “Brother Feng, earlier you said I
had a bad attitude towards him, am I not coaxing him to play now? And we are
almost to the base, why sleep……”

The child yawned, and tears oozed out of the corners of his eyes, but Lu
Changfeng was still rambling. Sheng Feng did not talk nonsense with him,
directly pulled the car over and stopped. He said in a deep voice: “Get off, go to
the back.”

Lu Changfeng immediately froze. He looked up at Sheng Feng, only to see his

cold and stern face in the rear-view mirror, ultimately not allowing a refusal.
Chapter 54

Gritting his teeth, Lu Changfeng could not help but turn red as he got out of the
car. He has always been in the ranks, and now he was driven out, what would
people think?

Looking coldly at Lu Changfeng getting out of the car, Sheng Feng turned his
head to look at the dozing child in the passenger seat. He sighed and gently
stroked the soft black hair on the child’s head.

Sheng Feng is not stupid; he just did not pay attention before. Now that he has
the child with him, how can he not see that Lu Changfeng has been rude to him?

There was a vague coldness in his eyes. The other ability users in this team
ignored Qing Yun, which he could understand. After all, at the end of the world,
being alone has become the norm for everyone. Some people can even abandon
their own children, not to mention Qing Yun, who is not mentally competent.

But what’s wrong with Lu Changfeng? Qing Yun did not hinder him. Does he
have nothing better to do than to target Qing Yun?

The night slowly fell, the team stationed down again. Perhaps because the base
was just around the corner, the people in the station are overflowing with joy,
and the whole station is bustling with activity.

Qing Yun woke up long ago but did not run out to play as usual. Sheng Feng was
afraid that he would play too much and forget to eat, so he detained the person
in the car to feed him.

“Let go of your pigeon. Quick, open your mouth, and take another bite.” Sheng
Feng raised his hand to turn the child’s head back towards the car again and
took a spoon to feed him a spoonful of fried rice.

Qing Yun obediently opened his mouth while tugging at the rope attached to the
pigeon, and said to Sheng Feng in a slurred voice, “The pigeon also eat.”
Once he saw the pigeon fluttering its wings towards this side, Sheng Feng hastily
covered the bowl and reached out to flick Qing Yun’s head. “Tch, I usually see
you dislike me so much. Why don’t you dislike this broken pigeon?”

Sheng Feng collected his strength, so Qing Yun was not hurt at all. Instead, he
opened his mouth and asked for food.

Looking at the dependence and adoration in the child’s eyes like a young bird,
Sheng Feng could not help but soften his eyebrows. The thick palm of his hand
squeezed the thin handle of the spoon and then fed Qing Yun. Since that day
when he refused Qing Yun’s address to him, Qing Yun really never called him
that again, but a little bit of reliance slowly emerged and made Sheng Feng’s
heart a soft mess.

He couldn’t help but care more about the child, fearing that he would be bullied
during the evening meal, so Qing Yun ate with him at night.

Qing Yun obediently ate two bites, and then suddenly stopped and pushed the
spoon to Sheng Feng’s mouth, “Sheng Feng also eat.”

His lips touched the fresh fragrant rice grains, and Sheng Feng suddenly froze.
The child’s bright eyes looked at him instantly, and there was a dazed concern in
his eyes.

Sheng Feng’s eyes suddenly warmed up. Since the beginning of the end of the
world, he has awakened his ability and has upgraded unhindered. So no matter
where he was, he was always a respected powerhouse, and resources were tilted
in his favor.

There have been people who approached him with supplies and sought refuge
from him, but no one has ever given him food for the simple reason of “for his
own good”. The child’s hand on his arm was like a hot iron, which made Sheng
Feng shiver.
He hurriedly lowered his head and opened his mouth to eat the spoonful of fried
rice, “Mmm, I’ll eat. You also eat, come on, open your mouth wider.”

Seeing that Sheng Feng also ate the rice, Qing Yun then slightly curved the
corner of his eyes.

The two of them finished eating. Sheng Feng took out a clean towel to wipe the
child’s mouth and hands. Then, he touched the top of Qing Yun’s soft hair and
said: “Okay, go out and play. Don’t run far, just stay on this side of the car door,
okay? If someone says something you don’t understand, call me, remember?”

Sheng Feng also did not think that he would one day say something like this.
Seeing the child nod, he let him go at ease.

Watching the child flutter out like a bird, Sheng Feng shook his head and
laughed. Earlier, he had refused to allow Qing Yun to call him father, but what
difference does it make with what he is doing now? Sheng Feng has now
changed his mind about Qing Yun. Staying alone in H base, there is no
guarantee that he will not be bullied by others. Although he has water and fire
abilities, it is apparent that he will not be able to use them to attack. Such a
person with no ability to defend himself will be regarded as a water supply
machine by the senior management when he arrives at the base.

Therefore, Sheng Feng is ready to take him away. Although there are many
dangers all the way to B City, he is still confident that he can protect the child.

“Captain!” Someone came in from outside, with a slight excitement in his words,
“Everyone said that they wouldn’t rest tonight. They will directly catch up so that
they can reach the base in the morning. How about that?”

On hearing this, Sheng Feng frowned as he was not overwhelmed by joy like the
group outside. Although he had already reached the outskirts of H base, zombie
activity was frequent at night, and rushing at this time was not a good choice.
“Everyone is already packed up and ready to go into their cars. Captain, you just
have to agree!”

Sheng Feng was pondering when he suddenly heard an alarm go off in the car.
His face changed, and he immediately turned his head to look at the satellite
monitor on the screen, which showed that a large group of zombies were
approaching this way. Several of them were even surprisingly fast.

“Qing Yun, come back quickly!” Sheng Feng shouted out of the car for the first
time, and then turned his head and instructed, “The zombies are coming, quickly
notify everyone to get in their cars and leave.”

As he said that, Sheng Feng took a look outside, and his eyes immediately
widened.

The rope in Qing Yun’s hand loosened, and he was running farther and farther
after the pigeon. Not far from him, several zombies have emerged from the
shadow at a very fast speed and approaching in almost the blink of an eye.

Without even thinking about it, he ran wildly towards Qing Yun. Sheng Feng’s
heart almost stopped: “Qing Yun, come back! Quickly turn around! Come back!”

“Pigeon!” Qing Yun finally grabbed the rope tied to the pigeon and turned his
head to show a smiling face towards Sheng Feng.

Sheng Feng, however, was full of panic. He tried with all his strength to carry
the person on his shoulder before the zombies could reach them. At the same
time, his ability was released, and the three zombies that came after him
immediately stopped, and their lower bodies immediately became twisted.

Sheng Feng’s ability is “force”. This force is not just a force of strength; it was
more like gravitational force. Within a certain range, he can control the
deformation of any object.
But once the ability was released, Sheng Feng frowned because he felt that his
ability was not as strong as he thought. His power was already at 60%. If it was
an ordinary zombie, it would have turned into just a pile of rotten flesh by now,
not just a twisted limb.

These zombies are definitely more than level five.

The group of zombies behind has already caught up, and a powerful aura came
over. Sheng Feng’s eyebrows were raised, and there was a sense of foreboding
in his heart. The strongest zombie known now is only level six, but the zombie in
the group’s center has vaguely exceeded level six. Have the zombies evolved to
this extent?

Feeling the weight on his shoulders, Sheng Feng hesitated and did not rush to
fight. Although he was not afraid of these zombies and even wanted to fight with
the zombie in the center to send its crystal nuclei into the capital laboratory, it is
still a zombie group after all. And if Qing Yun gets touched a little bit……

He turned and carried Qing Yun to the car, and the group of zombies behind
Sheng Feng looked like they were stuck in mud, and they were all collapsed into
the ground. The powerful zombie in the center seemed to notice the strangeness
in this direction and quickly moved towards their side.

“Move!” On the side of the convoy, Ding Shiang was busy calming the crowd. “Is
everyone on board?”

“No! The Captain is still outside!” The ability user who ran to Sheng Feng’s car
earlier called out in a panic.

Ding Shiang was a bit shocked: “Isn’t the Captain always in the car? How come
he’s outside?”

“It’s that Qing Yun!”

Ding Shiang turned his head to look at Sheng Feng’s figure carrying Qing Yun
and immediately understood. The zombie group clearly sensed Sheng Feng and
formed an encirclement to surround Sheng Feng. Still, Sheng Feng’s ability
prevented the zombies from getting too close.

But as he stood at a distance, he clearly saw a zombie whose body was

extremely decayed but with a dangerous aura moving closer towards Sheng
Feng and Qing Yun.

At this time, Qing Yun, who was on Sheng Feng’s shoulder, still just tugged at
the rope in his hand, and the gray pigeon cooed abruptly in mid-air.

“What are you still waiting for? Go support him!” Ding Shiang roared furiously,
and at the end of the day, he couldn’t help but curse, Qing Yun has really
become a burden, but Sheng Feng still let him fool around!

In fact, Ding Shiang is very fond of children and has a vague affection for the
clear-eyed Qing Yun. Otherwise, he would not have walked up to tie the shoes of
Qing Yun, whose identity is a mystery.

But watching Qing Yun’s previous situation in the camp, he did not help Qing
Yun out. He was just an ordinary earth ability user. He could help Qing Yun once,
but could he protect him forever?

Who has the responsibility to look after other people’s children in this post-
apocalyptic world?

Human beings have no confidence in getting through the end times. Even
though they have gained powers and evolved, they are still the weakest in this
generally mutated world. If this is a wave of evolution, then humans are
definitely the species that will be eliminated from the world.

In the current scenario, Ding Shiang had long envisioned that he did not think
Qing Yun, a mentally disabled person, could survive in the end times. Still,
Sheng Feng’s attitude was beyond Ding Shiang’s expectations, and he really did
not think that Sheng Feng could do this for Qing Yun.

The team of ability users immediately grabbed their weapons to support Sheng
Feng. They looked at Qing Yun, who looked confused on Sheng Feng’s shoulder
and couldn’t help but yell anxiously, “Captain! Run!”

“Shut up!” When he heard the shouting of the people, Sheng Feng couldn’t help
but scold back. This group was carrying such things but did not dare to come
close and only shouted from the outskirts. He could not even find someone to
pick up Qing Yun if he wanted to.

Sheng Feng suddenly regretted it, he should not have been alone. If there was a
loyal team now, he would not have to worry that there was no one to look after
Qing Yun.

That zombie is getting closer and closer towards Sheng Feng, who was rattled in
his heart. He searched for a safe place and wanted to use force to send Qing Yun
away. Since he couldn’t avoid it, he could only fight.

The unusually strong aura of the zombie separated the surrounding zombies,
and it walked towards Sheng Feng. Sheng Feng’s ability made it walk unusually
slow but was still approaching step by step.

When Sheng Feng wanted to move, he suddenly saw a clean, white, and well-
defined hand that seemed a little weak. The hand suddenly clenched into a fist,
and then the zombie almost touched Sheng Feng suddenly floated up, and the
crystal nucleus in its brain came out with a “swoosh”. It exploded with a “bang”.

The matter did not end there. The whole group of zombies all stopped moving,
and one by one, their heads burst. The pus and brain matter splashed, but it did
not reach the youth on Sheng Feng’s shoulders.

Sheng Feng suddenly felt the young man on his shoulder seemed to turn into a
slippery fish. The waist that was initially held by him broke free from his hands.
The team of ability users who were about to come up froze. They held their
weapons in their hands and looked at Qing Yun, who suddenly became cold and
sharp. The ignorance and innocence in those eyes faded away, leaving only a
bitter and tyrannical killing intent.

Sheng Feng turned his head and was stunned.

Looking at the group of zombies and the clean, cold, and handsome young man
who was like a god, these people suddenly thought of the tragic situation they
saw in the abandoned supermarket. A single blow killed everything; it was crisp
and tragic.
Chapter 55

When the dirt settled, a stream of water suddenly emerged from the youth’s
hands. He stood in the middle of the bodies, washing his hands clean. The water
slowly disappeared, and Qing Yun turned around and skipped past the
dumbfounded crowd toward the car.

The child’s innocence is gone, and his clear appearance seems to glow in the
darkness. An indescribable arrogance crept up Qing Yun’s eyebrows, making the
hearts of the people watching him walk closer slowly tremble.

At the end of the world, the ability users who have lived until now are sensitive
to death. Now, their whole body is shrouded by an overwhelming killing intent,
but they do not even dare to lift the weapon in their hands.

Standing behind Qing Yun, Sheng Feng felt that the youth in front of him was
unfamiliar. It was as if the child who had been staying by Sheng Feng’s side
these days had suddenly turned into a powerful and indifferent stranger.

But this strangeness also seems to carry a sense of familiarity imprinted in

Sheng Feng’s soul. These two feelings intertwined and made Sheng Feng unable
to distinguish which he was most familiar with.

“Who are you?”

Sheng Feng’s hoarse voice rang out behind Qing Yun, who turned his head to
look at him. The corner of his mouth pulled out an icy and mocking curve: “No
comment.”

The cold words made Sheng Feng instantly clench his fists. He looked into the
young man’s eyes, which were incomparably empty with only a morbid killing
intent and endless dead silence. The attachment and adoration that once filled
his eyes seemed to be nothing more than a bubble in Sheng Feng’s dream.
Sheng Feng’s heart suddenly felt like someone had slashed an opening.
Something unseen and untouchable flowed out clean, leaving his heart empty
and unsettled.

Now, the youth’s eyes are finally colored with what is most needed in the last
days.

He no longer has to worry about his Qing Yun being bullied.

But in his heart, there was a vague suspicion emerging. He felt that the youth
should not look at him with such cold eyes and that they should not have such a
hostile relationship.

Qing Yun did not say anything all the way and just walked straight into the car.
Behind him, Ding Shiang and the others did not move. They looked up at Sheng
Feng, with hesitation and doubt in their eyes.

Qing Yun’s current state indeed gives them the chills. Previously, when he was
only five years old mentally, they dared to take him back to the base, but now?

The murderous aura that emerged from this man was not fake. Ding Shiang felt
bitter in his heart. He felt that Qing Yun must have retained his previous
memories. Otherwise, he could not have been so hostile to the entire team.

A feeling of regret suddenly rose in the hearts of these ability users present. If
they had helped Qing Yun when he was being ostracized and bullied, they would
have gotten a powerful accomplice now.

Sheng Feng could tell at a glance whether Qing Yun was angry, making a scene,
or simply silent. Now, although the young man’s aura is unfathomable and his
face remains icy cold, Sheng Feng can still keenly feel his inner emotions.
Sheng Feng knew that Qing Yun had a little habit of pinching his index finger
with the nail of his thumb whenever he was unhappy or angry. And now, the
nails of the youth sitting in the passenger seat were almost sunk into the flesh.
So he knew that the young man sitting quietly in the passenger seat right now
must have a lot of anger in his heart.

That’s right, Qing Yun is now furious.

He did not expect that he was living in such a state these days. When he first
came to this world, Qing Yun was furious because of what happened to this body.
He was in a bad mood and then found that there was something wrong with this
body. He had a mental ability, and Qing Yun’s soul raised this ability even higher.

But this is where the accident happened. This body’s ability was not awakened
on its own but was a product of human experimentation. Therefore, this
artificially stimulated ability itself was extremely damaging to the body. Qing
Yun’s soul directly boosted this body’s power, but the physical body’s
enhancement was slow. This directly led to a near-collapse of this body’s brain
field, which could not withstand Qing Yun’s powerful soul.

Qing Yun’s soul nearly left his body. To avoid attracting the Heavenly Dao’s
attention, Qing Yun could only conform to the state of this body and seal a part
of his soul, leaving only the parts that this body’s fragile mind could withstand.

But Qing Yun did not expect that his memory would stay when he was five years
old. Five years old was just a false age, to be precise, the other day, his mind
was only over three years old, and that was the time Qing Yun……least wanted to
touch.

His soul slowly transformed this body so that Qing Yun could fully recover his
memory. However, this body’s abilities are too overpowered. Every time he uses
it, it causes significant damage to his brain field. So he cannot maintain this
state of adulthood for a long time.

Although the state of five years old made Qing Yun’s heart stuffed, this was not
the thing that angered him the most.
What made him even angrier was that this world’s protagonist was not Lu
Changfeng, who had provoked him much, but Sheng Feng.

However, the five-year-old Qing Yun was close to Sheng Feng and had an
attachment to him. This emotion was buried in his five-year-old memory, which
spanned close to ten thousand years and passed intact to the present Qing Yun’s
mind.

The Sheng Feng in the memories was even warmer and more nostalgic because
of the passage of time and the contrast between Qing Yun’s past cold memories.

This nostalgia simply makes Qing Yun want to crush the person to death.
Simultaneously, the man’s identity makes the storm in Qing Yun’s heart roll over
even more.

In the last world, he almost became the protagonist’s lover. In this world, he
became the protagonist. What is the origin of this man?

Seeing that the index finger of the young man beside him almost oozed blood,
Sheng Feng couldn’t help but hiss out, “Don’t pinch any more, if you are angry,
come at me.”

As soon as Sheng Feng’s words fell, he saw the youth beside him suddenly close
his eyes. Then, his surrounding aura abruptly transformed, and the childishness
that he greatly missed appeared in these eyes again.

“Pigeon!” Qing Yun opened his eyes and immediately turned his head to look for
his pigeon.

Hearing his call, the sound of wings flapping outside the car window rang out,
and a gray pigeon with a rope falling from its feet flew over.
He tilted his head to grab the pigeon that flew in but suddenly felt his waist
hugged by someone fiercely, and then was brought into a warm embrace.

The car faltered and stopped at the side of the road. Inside the vehicle, Qing Yun
held his pigeon and turned his head to look blankly at the man who buried his
head into his neck.

Feeling Qing Yun’s vaguely concerned gaze, the panic in Sheng Feng’s heart
caused by the youth’s cold rejection finally subsided a little. He quietly embraced
the child in his arms, reaching out to gently stroke his soft hair. An inexplicable
heartache once again rushed to Sheng Feng’s heart.

This heartache seeped out from Sheng Feng’s soul, and it was so profound that
it made his body tremble. The proud and lonely youth, who appeared for only a
brief moment, was deeply rooted in Sheng Feng’s heart.

He wondered what had happened to make such a soft Qing Yun eventually turn
into such a powerful and cold figure?

No one could answer Sheng Feng’s question.

Sheng Feng quickly caught up with the team in front of him, and in less than half
a day, the group returned to H base.

“Slow down.” Sheng Feng helped Qing Yun get off the car. The child sat in the
car for a long time, and his feet were a little numb.

Those who followed Sheng Feng back have long avoided Qing Yun, and Lu
Changfeng even ran out of sight. Although they did not join the battle, they also
did not go far. What happened last night, even if they did not see everything,
they also have a little understanding of it. Not to mention that there is a team of
ability users with them to clarify the situation.
Qing Yun pulled the pigeon out of the car and received many glances. To be
precise, these glances were not projected on him but instead focused on the
pigeon flying above his head.

Greedy gazes were instantly cast over, and a few of the homeless people sitting
disheveled in the corner even stood up and trembled as they walked over to
Qing Yun.

“Get lost!” Sheng Feng’s cold and strong gaze swept over like a sharp sword,
and his powers were released without hesitation. Several people who moved
towards this side instantly tumbled to the ground, curled up, and wailed.

The rest of the people who were watching intently also narrowed their eyes.
They knew Sheng Feng because although he had been at H base for only a few
days, his strength was much higher than the base’s leader, so many people had
heard of him.

“Captain, I……” A space ability user in the team came over and released Sheng
Feng’s share of supplies, “Can I follow you to B City? I can help you with the
supplies.”

They were only a temporary team, but seeing Sheng Feng and Qing Yun’s
strength, these people can’t help but be moved. In the last days, the strongest
are the most important. It would be much better to follow Sheng Feng and Qing
Yun than to stay in H base.

This is the result of these people secretly thinking last night. Of course, not
everyone has decided, but many people were still moved because the H base
situation is not good.

It can be seen by the faces of those new ordinary people in the team that their
joy last night has gradually disappeared. The dead silence that is characteristic
of the people’s faces of the end days has crept up again.
The entire H base is devastated. There are people on the side of the road
paralyzed, unknown whether they are dead or alive. Even the faces of the ability
users stationed on the base’s outskirts do not look good; they are yellow and
thin. This is not only because of hunger but also because of the toxins’ erosion
that the end times spread in the land and water.

The base can only shelter them from zombie attacks. However, it cannot give
them a better living environment because the unbridled competition between
their kind still exists here.

Each base was established with its own set of laws, but in less than a month,
these laws collapsed due to the extreme lack of supplies, and even the upper
levels of the base could not restrain their greedy mouths. Under the threat of
death, everyone subconsciously seizes supplies. Who is there to uphold such
laws?

“Let’s talk later.” Sheng Feng, who has always been good at talking, answered
ambiguously this time. He picked up the supplies and carried them on his
shoulders, but then said to the space user, “I have other plans for the team
going to B City. I will inform you when I leave.”

Speaking of this, Sheng Feng felt funny. He came here to take Lu Changfeng,
but now Lu Changfeng is not the most important matter to him.

There was a flash of those cold and arrogant eyes in his mind, and Sheng Feng’s
breathing faltered.

Shaking off the emotions swirling in his mind, Sheng Feng turned his head, took
Qing Yun’s hand, and walked towards the base’s interior. As he walked, he
instructed Qing Yun: “Don’t run around here, okay? Stay by my side.”

Qing Yun nodded while quietly glancing at the roadside. He saw a man in
uniform with a shovel taking the motionless baby in the corner and throwing it
outside the fence.
“Don’t look.” Sheng Feng reached out to cover his eyes and turn his head back.

The zombie virus keeps spreading, and now even ordinary people who have not
been touched by zombies have a certain chance of turning into one. And the
bodies that died accidentally are unavoidable, so the city will clean up these
bodies regularly.

Qing Yun’s head did not turn around but stubbornly looked in that direction.

Sheng Feng could feel the child’s curly eyelashes sweeping across his palm, then
Qing Yun lightly tugged his sleeve, and his tender voice rang out with doubts:
“Why are they taking him away? Because he won’t move?”

Sheng Feng froze for a moment before it occurred to him that he asked about
the motionless baby. Sheng Feng opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound.
How was he going to explain to Qing Yun?

The child’s low voice rang out again, “I used to be like that. I wouldn’t move.”

Qing Yun has never talked about his past. Now, these words appeared rashly like
a sharp thorn spinning into Sheng Feng’s body, stimulating the nerves
throughout his body and making him shiver with pain. Sheng Feng reached out
and wrapped his arms tightly around the person. He kissed the child’s hair and
explained in a soft voice: “That uncle took him outside the wall to play, and
there was someone outside to catch him.”

“Really?” Qing Yun’s voice instantly took on a hopeful tone.

“Yes.” Sheng Feng gently held the back of the child’s head, not allowing him to
look up and see his reddened eyes. This was not the first time Sheng Feng had
lied, but it was the most difficult one for him.
Sadness emerged in his heart. Why was it in such an era, why did this five-year-
old child appear in this devastated era? If it had been a little earlier, Sheng Feng
could have shown him all the beautiful mountains and rivers of the world. He
could have given him the most privileged and perfect life, instead of the cruelty
that can only be adorned with lies like now.

yuzu: Happy New Year everyone! I wish you all the best and hope that 2021 will
be a better year for you ʕ≧ᴥ≦ʔ

After slowly calming down, Sheng Feng then led Qing Yun to walk forward.

The foreign population registration office was already insight. A clean and neatly
dressed man saw Sheng Feng and immediately greeted him with a smile: “Mr.
Sheng! I heard that you brought a water and fire system ability user from
outside. That is a great contribution to the base!”

Sheng Feng subconsciously blocked Qing Yun, and coldly rejected the man’s
words: “He’s coming back to B City with me.”

He turned his head to Qing Yun and asked in a low voice, “Would you like to go
with me?”

Qing Yun immediately grabbed Sheng Feng’s sleeve and nodded. Seeing the
child’s well-behaved appearance, a smile appeared in Sheng Feng’s eyes, but
then there was a bitterness that could not be suppressed. The child had agreed,
but what about the youth who suddenly appeared last night?

It seems that the person doesn’t want to be in contact with him.

The man was embarrassed by Sheng Feng’s refusal, but in the end, he could
only nod and smile because Sheng Feng’s strength was too great. If he wanted
to, he could end the whole H base, and then the privileges of them, the top
levels of the base, would be gone.

Sheng Feng did not want to keep Qing Yun in the H base. He brought Qing Yun
over to check whether there were relatives of the child there. After checking, he
did not find anyone related to Qing Yun, but Sheng Feng was relieved. He really
could not imagine how he would face them if Qing Yun’s relatives were really
there.

Give Qing Yun to them? Impossible.

Although they only had a few days together, Sheng Feng no longer saw the child
as a burden like he did at first. Qing Yun is now more like a pillar of Sheng
Feng’s life, and taking tender care of the child every day is the best time Sheng
Feng has ever experienced in the last days.

He took him back to the room assigned to him by the base, which is the top floor
of a small building with just the right amount of sunlight, and was even clean.
Sheng Feng initially did not care much about it, but now he feels fortunate that it
is on the top floor. If it were on the first or second floor, Qing Yun would have
been disgusted by the dirty environment.

Watching the child holding the pigeon in the sunlight, Sheng Feng’s nerves that
had been tense today, relaxed. He put the supplies away and instructed Qing
Yun: “Be careful on the balcony, don’t put your body out.”

Qing Yun ran around the room and then back to Sheng Feng with beads of sweat
on the tip of his nose. He pulled the clothes on his body and frowned, “Want to
shower.”

Qing Yun said the rain was coming and stood in the living room immediately to
undress. Sheng Feng hurriedly stopped him: “Wait, I remember there is a
bathroom here.”
He found that the child has no concept of these matters. When they first met, he
was naked in public and did not feel shy at all. If the young man from last night
knew about it, he might be furious.

Thinking of this, Sheng Feng’s hand cleaning the bathtub stopped. Last night,
the youth was so angry, it would not be……because of this, right?

Qing Yun stood on the side, looking at the bathtub in the bathroom, and did not
say anything as he made the tub bubble up.

Seeing this, Sheng Feng couldn’t help but smile. He knows that Qing Yun loves
cleanliness very much. It has been days without a bath, so he probably couldn’t
wait. If it weren’t for the fact that Sheng Feng told him a few days ago that he
couldn’t just take off his clothes in front of others, he would have already
washed himself a few times on the way.

After touching the temperature of the water in the bathtub, Sheng Feng frowned.
The water was not too cold, but it was still quite chilly in this weather. Thinking
of this, Sheng Feng put his hand on the water surface and operated his ability.

He does not have fire ability, but now he is just controlling the force between the
water molecules, colliding with each other to produce heat. In a short while, the
water temperature went up, but Sheng Feng was sweating profusely. It was the
first time he tried to use his powers in such a detailed way.

A slightly cool palm settled on Sheng Feng’s forehead, wiping away the sweat.
Sheng Feng looked up and saw Qing Yun frowning at the sweat stains in his
palm, his face still showing a look of disgust.

Sheng Feng laughed loudly. He swept the child into his arms and rubbed against
him: “It’s you who wipes my sweat, and it’s also you who dislikes it. Why are
you so cute?”
“Let go. I want to take a bath!” Qing Yun wrinkled his face and flung himself out
of his arms.

“Okay, I won’t mess with you anymore.” The new use of his powers opened a
door for Sheng Feng. He didn’t expect that he could also use his ability like a
microwave oven, so it would be easier to take care of someone in the future.

“Can you wash yourself?”

When the child nodded and took off his clothes, Sheng Feng turned his head and
was about to leave when he suddenly heard a “thump”. Qing Yun slipped into
the bathtub.

Sheng Feng laughed and cried as he walked over and reached out to fish the
person out. His palm had just gripped the waist of the youth in the bathtub when
a tremendous force came towards Sheng Feng. A grip like an iron clamped on
Sheng Feng’s throat and pressed him hard against the bathroom wall.

“Where are you touching?”

The cold voice came into Sheng Feng’s ears, and he looked at the drenched
youth surfacing from the bathtub. Underneath the dripping black hair was a pair
of ice-cold and tyrannical eyes.

“It’s you? No, you’re also Qing Yun.” Sheng Feng’s throat was squeezed, and he
could barely spit out the words. It was clear that the youth from last night had
come out again. He could not help but smile bitterly, he was just wondering why
this youth was angry, and now he stepped on the mine again.

Noticing the additional memories in his mind, Qing Yun fiercely gritted his teeth.
What is this “taking the child out to play”, is this person treating him as a child
to be coaxed?
His moist thin lips moved inch by inch closer to the man he had pinned to the
wall. The accusing words from his mouth were cold and slightly angry: “Who
gave you permission to tamper with my memories at will?”

Hearing this, Sheng Feng laughed in a low voice: “Sure enough, you are Qing
Yun. He is the five-year-old version of you, and you are the grown-up version of
him.”

As he said this, a bit of tenderness emerged in Sheng Feng’s eyes again.

Looking at the elder-like gentleness in the man’s eyes, the anger in Qing Yun’s
heart was almost like a volcanic eruption. He raised his hand to pinch on a
particular acupuncture point on the man’s waist.

Sheng Feng, who was about to break free from Qing Yun’s confinement,
instantly felt that something was wrong. The youth touched him somewhere,
and he immediately felt a wave of heat running through his body. Then, a
certain object that had not been “aroused” without permission since Sheng
Feng’s puberty slowly raised.

Sheng Feng’s expression was like being struck by lightning. He did not expect
that in front of the young man, who he had treated as a son, and in this life-
threatening and dangerous position, he actually got hard?

The youth in front of him did not retreat. Sheng Feng watched him gently come
over, and the tip of his upturned nose almost brushed his chin.

The youth narrowed his eyes, like a cheetah patrolling his territory, and gently
sniffed at the side of Sheng Feng’s neck. The exquisite face was proud and sexy,
making the heat on Sheng Feng’s body soar. His breathing became heavy, and
this reaction made Sheng Feng’s face turn red.

He, how can he be such a bastard, even to Qing Yun, the child……
But under this emotion is the raging and surging strong desire and
possessiveness, Sheng Feng’s mind even tumbled through some vague and
ambiguous images. These images were almost about to break through some
confinement in his soul and be presented in its entirety……

“Bang!”

Qing Yun gritted his teeth and smashed his fist on the man’s face, breaking
certain memories that had just sprouted in Sheng Feng’s mind to pieces.

Raising the man’s neck and standing up after confirming something, Qing Yun
simply wanted to ignore everything and directly crush the man to death. A hint
of killing intent against the man flashed genuinely in his eyes.

Not to mention that the man became the main character this time, even if he
appeared as usual, Qing Yun could not stand it.

He is indeed very interested in this man who has been following him. Nie
Chenyuan’s obedience, Zou Chen’s domineering tolerance, Chris’s pain and
remorse, and Ning Qianyuan’s foolishness. The man presented these changing
patterns just right to maintain Qing Yun’s interest in him so that Qing Yun will
stop by every world for this.

However, this does not mean that Qing Yun has allowed him to enter his heart
completely. Just four worlds are not enough for Qing Yun, an old demon who has
lived for tens of thousands of years, to really fall in love with this man.

At most, Qing Yun just treats him as an interesting existence and includes him in
the scope of his possessions.

But five-year-old Qing Yun is different. In those poor and cruel life experiences,
Sheng Feng is the most gentle and accommodating one to him. So, five-year-old
Qing Xiaoyun really likes Sheng Feng very much.
This affection even withstood the impact of Qing Yun’s memory of the last ten
thousand years. It was clear that the kind of pleasant and childish mood was
transmitted to the present Qing Yun.

After all, this is the only warm presence in Qing Yun’s childhood.

This man now has truly touched Qing Yun’s heart.

The hot lava was churning in Qing Yun’s heart.

Kill him.

Catch this moth that is crawling into your heart so that you are still you.

This will cover up all the pain and vulnerability you were born with.

Qing Yun heard his own voice seemingly ringing out like this, and his soul began
to stir, a hint of powerful aura revealed through this body. This was the first
time since the crossing that Qing Yun was truly angry. The heavier the anger,
the more calm his eyes became.

Qing Yun was even thinking about how he could kill this man’s body while
stirring up his soul together, ultimately to end the problem later. And there is
another crucial issue, the man this time appeared as the protagonist, so he also
has to avoid being discovered by the Heavenly Dao.

The fingers on the neck tightened, but Sheng Feng, who was initially distressed
by his body’s reaction, calmed down and looked deeply into Qing Yun’s eyes.
Perhaps Qing Yun himself did not notice, but as a bystander, Sheng Feng could
clearly see the struggle in these eyes.
This pair of beautiful eyes are already bloodshot, and they looked ruthless but
with a kind of sadness.

Sheng Feng could feel the youth’s killing intent, but he suddenly felt that this
killing intent was not directed at himself but was the youth’s own self-harm. He
seemed to have gone through a painful struggle and finally decided to extinguish
the only remaining softness in his heart with his own hands.

The air in his lungs was gradually lost, but Sheng Feng did not struggle. He felt
that he had suddenly lost the strength to fight.

His consciousness gradually faded, and a tugging force seemed to pull Sheng
Feng’s soul away from his body.

Suddenly, the sound of Qing Yun’s cries seemed to ring in Sheng Feng’s ears,
and he heard the five-year-old child crying in sorrow. Sheng Feng was startled,
and he subconsciously moved his arm. He lifted his rough hand palm and gently
stroked the top of the youth’s wet hair in front of him. The soft movement was
exactly the same as Qing Yun remembered.

“What’s wrong? What are you crying about?”

As soon as the words came out of his throat, Sheng Feng suddenly felt himself
being thrown, and he hit the wall heavily. He came to his senses with a jolt, and
the various sensations that appeared in his mind when he was on the verge of
death lay dormant in his soul once again.

Sheng Feng coughed while covering his neck and got up. All he could see was
the naked back of the youth walking out of the bathroom, which was strongly
concealing his fragility.

Sheng Feng subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but after the intense pain
in the neck disappeared, the body’s reaction that had not yet subsided once
again caught Sheng Feng’s attention.
His face turned red again. Sheng Feng raised his hand and slapped himself twice.

Damn, beast! Bastard!

Chapter 56

Sheng Feng pulled at his hair with a tangled face, but his legs were honest and
chased after the person. He had just walked out of the bathroom door when he
saw the youth who had initially walked out stepping back in with a confused look
on his face. It was as if he really wondered why he hasn’t washed up and walked
out instead.

It was the five-year-old him.

Sheng Feng instantly recognized the person. The reaction of his body that had
not yet subsided immediately made him even more embarrassed. He knew that
Qing Yun was still young and did not understand anything, but still, he bowed his
body in distress.

The child looked over with a pure gaze. Still, it was like a bucket of ice water
pouring over Sheng Feng, making his body calm down almost immediately.

“Qing……Qing……Xiaoyun.” Sheng Feng stalled, addressing Qing Yun’s two states

separately.

“Are you calling me?” The child was surprised for a moment because of Sheng
Feng’s sudden change of address, but there was no displeasure in his voice, but
instead carried a leap of joy.

“Yes……will call you this way from now on, okay?” Sheng Feng straightened up
and touched the top of the child’s hair.

Qing Yun happily accepted the name. He had seen before that other people’s
parents would call their children by nicknames, but he had never experienced it
before.

Watching the child get into the bathtub, Sheng Feng then covered his mouth and
walked out of the bathroom.
The young man earlier came for real. That force almost broke Sheng Feng’s neck,
but……even with such a life-threatening situation, Sheng Feng still couldn’t afford
to be the least bit wary of Qing Yun.

He walked to the balcony. His eyes in the sunlight depicted the sharp and
haughty eyes of the youth. The same appearance brought Sheng Feng a very
different feeling. The five-year-old Qing Yun made Sheng Feng love him from the
bottom of his heart. However, the adult who had only appeared twice still made
Sheng Feng distressed but fascinated by him, making him want to possess and
want to……violate.

Sensing the stupid desire in his heart, Sheng Feng raised his hand and slapped
himself twice, slapping out the fatal things in his mind.

Sheng Feng could not accept this kind of himself. He was annoyed. If there was
someone else who dared to covet Qing Yun, whom he had been protecting with
all his heart, he could have smashed that person’s head in!

But it was he who had developed such thoughts.

Although disturbed by this irritable mood, Sheng Feng has not been able to relax
these past two days. For one thing, he was busy taking care of Qing Xiaoyun’s
three meals a day, and the indifferent Qing Yun would also appear from time to
time, catching Sheng Feng off guard. The other thing was that he was preparing
to form his own team.

But today, in the middle of his busy schedule, a person that Sheng Feng did not
want to see came to his door.

It was Lu Changfeng.

Sheng Feng came to H base initially to take Lu Changfeng away, but now that he
was about to depart from H base, the last thing Sheng Feng wanted to bring was
Lu Changfeng. He didn’t want anyone on his team who was hostile to Qing Yun,
and Lu Changfeng coincidentally stepped on Sheng Feng’s bottom line.

“Brother Feng, when are we leaving?” Lu Changfeng went up to put his arm
around Sheng Feng’s shoulders to get closer. Still, Sheng Feng’s cold, hard, and
defensive expression made him drop his hand involuntarily.

Sheng Feng’s change of attitude towards him directly made Lu Changfeng’s

status in H base drop significantly. Although Lu Changfeng was afraid of the
suddenly powerful Qing Yun and did not come to Sheng Feng these days, he had
been secretly prying into Sheng Feng’s affairs, so he slowly got to know a little
about Qing Yun’s situation.

In Lu Changfeng’s opinion, Qing Yun probably has a split personality, and Sheng
Feng was very caring about his personality as a child. At the same time, the
other personality was not too close to Sheng Feng.

Lu Changfeng felt that he had found a gap between the two personalities, which
is why he came to Sheng Feng’s door.

“Brother Feng, are you planning to take Qing Yun with you?” Lu Changfeng
asked tentatively.

“What exactly do you want to say?” When Sheng Feng heard him mention Qing
Yun, his eyes instantly became dark. In fact, these few days, he was extremely
distressed. Qing Xiaoyun was sticking to him very tightly, but when the adult
Qing Yun appeared, he was very cold to him. Except for the crazy act in the
bathroom last time, Qing Yun simply treated Sheng Feng as air when he
appeared again.

This indifferent attitude made Sheng Feng incomparably agitated. His whole
heart seems to be set on fire and burning, but he is ashamed of his heart’s
hidden desires and simply does not dare venture close to the indifferent youth.
The straightforward question by Sheng Feng made his heart startled. Lu
Changfeng said, “Brother Feng, you also know the situation of that Qing Yun. I’m
afraid he has a split personality. Although one personality looks cute, but it
doesn’t help that the other personality keeps coming to stir up trouble.”

Lu Changfeng’s words made Sheng Feng’s eyes slowly turn cold.

But Lu Changfeng thought he had hit the nail on the head, and the words
coming out of his mouth were even more reckless: “Look, it’s not good for this
other person to keep coming out and disturbing you and Qing Yun. I know
there’s a new ability user at H-base who can give people psychological hints.
Should we bring Qing Yun over and have that person erase his other
personality?”

The word “erase” made Sheng Feng’s eyes burn red immediately, and he didn’t
even think about it before he grabbed Lu Changfeng’s neck and picked him up.

“Who allowed you to pay attention to him?” The anger in Sheng Feng’s voice was
undisguised. He didn’t expect this person to take such an interest.

Lu Changfeng was shocked by Sheng Feng’s reaction. He had always thought

that Sheng Feng and Qing Yun were in that kind of relationship. That’s why he
was against the second personality that popped up from him.

Even after knowing how powerful Qing Yun’s other personality is, Lu Changfeng
still hasn’t given up the idea of obtaining Qing Yun’s ability. So, he came up with
this solution to convince Sheng Feng to conspire to kill Qing Yun’s powerful
personality.

But he really did not expect Sheng Feng to react in this way.

Lu Changfeng felt the blood in his body almost flowing backward. He knew that
this was Sheng Feng’s ability, and a sense of panic that death was approaching
enveloped his heart: “No, Brother Feng, my father asked you to save me, you
can’t kill me!”
Lu Changfeng knew that Sheng Feng was an extremely promise-oriented person.
That’s why he said this as if it was a talisman at this moment. However, Sheng
Feng’s reaction was still out of his expectation.

Sheng Feng did not stop his ability at all; his voice with killing intent rang out,
“Your father told me to take you back, but did not say whether you should be
alive or dead.”

Serious promise? That also depends, for Sheng Feng, Qing Yun’s existence is
more important than that of his life.

After the feeling of blood flowing backward, Lu Changfeng’s brain felt a tearing
pain, which made him wail: “I was wrong, Brother Feng, forgive me! I have
ability, I have space ability, I can help you store supplies!”

Lu Changfeng had no choice but to reveal his ability. He did have space ability,
which he got only after killing a space ability user. This was the first ability Lu
Changfeng took. He never mentioned it because he had something in his space,
something he absolutely could not let anyone know about.

At the same time, this is also why he had his heart set on getting Qing Yun’s
ability.

However, Sheng Feng did not relent because of his words. Lu Changfeng only
felt the pain in his head becoming more intense.

At this time, a clear voice suddenly sounded: “Let him go.”

Sheng Feng froze and looked incredulously at Qing Yun, who came out of the
room behind him, “You……you spoke to me?”
Seeing the man’s dumbfounded look, Qing Yun’s face became even colder. His
voice obviously laced with some impatience: “I said, let him go, didn’t you hear?”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Sheng Feng released him instantly, and Lu
Changfeng fell to the ground with a “bang “.

“I, I……no, he treated you……” Sheng Feng was a bit overwhelmed. His heart
flooded with great joy because the youth had spoken to him for the first time.
This joy rampaged through his heart, making him unable to say even one word
of explanation.

“Let him go.” After a cold sweeping glance at Sheng Feng, Qing Yun turned
around and went back to his room.

Sheng Feng was so focused on Qing Yun that he didn’t even care about Lu
Changfeng, who was half dead behind him and followed Qing Yun through the
door.

Behind him, Lu Changfeng, who was finally free, crawled away from Sheng
Feng’s house.

Walking through the door, Sheng Feng looked at the youth sitting there who still
looked cold despite the sunlight shining on him. He swallowed nervously before
he walked up and sat opposite Qing Yun.

This is the first time over the past few days that Qing Yun has paid attention to
him.

Sheng Feng was afraid that there was something wrong with him. He did not
treat the five-year-old Qing Xiaoyun and the adult Qing Yun as two people. His
two feelings for Qing Yun were connected and integrated. Still, his attitude
towards Qing Xiaoyun and Qing Yun was very different.
In front of Qing Xiaoyun, Sheng Feng was an elder figure. He used his broad
shoulders to hold up a safe and warm sky for five-year-old Qing Xiaoyun. He was
extremely caring for Qing Xiaoyun, almost taking great pains to take care of him.

But when facing Qing Yun, Sheng Feng felt that he immediately turned from
being two meters to two centimeters in size. He subconsciously and discreetly
sought the youth’s favor. Still, more often than not, he was faced with the
youth’s indifference and was helpless.

He felt incredibly weak, but this experience did not repel Sheng Feng at all as if
this mode of getting along had been engraved into his soul, and instead made
him somewhat willing.

“You……” Sheng Feng just hesitantly opened his mouth when he heard the sound
of wings fluttering.

The pigeon that Qing Xiaoyun raised flew over and landed on the round table
between the two, with two dark beady eyes staring at Qing Yun. The pigeon
seemed to see that Qing Yun was different from usual, tilted its head to survey
Qing Yun, but still jumped closer.

As soon as Sheng Feng saw the pigeon’s appearance, he had a bad feeling.

As expected, the adult Qing Yun did not have the love to take care of small
animals. He coldly glanced at the pigeon on the table and indifferently said: “Get
out.”

The pigeon on the table instantly froze, and then fled for its life and flew out
from the balcony with such speed that it almost hit the glass.

“Don’t……” Sheng Feng subconsciously reached out to stop it. Qing Xiaoyun was
very fond of this pigeon and was eager to hold it every day when he slept. The
pigeon seemed to be tamed by Qing Xiaoyun. Even if it flew out a few times, it
would immediately fly back once Qing Xiaoyun called it.
If the pigeon that flew out knew what Sheng Feng was thinking, he would have
cursed. God knows how much he wanted to run away from that little devil. He
was a pigeon, his hair is almost gone, okay?

But as soon as Qing Xiaoyun opened his mouth to call it, it immediately could
not control his wings and flew back towards him.

Seeing the pigeon fly away, Sheng Feng’s heart began to worry. When Qing
Xiaoyun emerged again and could not find the pigeon, I wonder what the
reaction will be……

Qing Yun coldly looked at Sheng Feng’s outstretched hand and snickered: “What?
Treat me as a child too?”

Qing Yun appeared from time to time these days. Every time he appeared, the
extra memories in his mind were making him more annoyed while…… also
making him feel more at peace after the trauma was healed.

These two contradictory emotions made Qing Yun’s heart flooded with some
indefinable feelings. Sometimes, he pretended to be Qing Xiaoyun to approach
this man but did not expect Sheng Feng to be extremely keen or understand
Qing Xiaoyun very well. Several times he almost saw through Qing Yun.

Thinking of this, Qing Yun gritted his teeth. If not……if not for fear of causing the
Heavenly Dao’s attention after the death of the protagonist, he definitely would
not have let this man go.

“No, I don’t treat you as a child.” Hearing Qing Yun’s words, Sheng Feng replied
sincerely. This young man was so powerful that he did not need others’
sympathy, and Sheng Feng naturally would not treat him as a child. Besides,
how could he have that kind of heart for a small child……?

“Is that so?”

With sharp eyebrows, Qing Yun leaned in close to the man who looked a little
helpless in front of him. He moved in close, his thin lips almost close to the
man’s cheek. Qing Yun heard the man’s breathing ragged almost instantly, and
he looked over with raised eyebrows. The man had wolfish eyes and was
obviously particularly embarrassed by this reaction.

This reaction of the man is what Qing Yun is familiar with. On the contrary, it
was the man’s elder-like tolerance of him earlier that made Qing Yun feel
uncomfortable.

Sheng Feng looked at Qing Yun’s thin lips close by, looked at his eyes that
seemed to be mixed with some seductive meaning with arrogance, and simply
could not control his own body. His body seems to have become a toy in the
youth’s hands; every move is controlled by Qing Yun.

Suddenly, Sheng Feng covered his face and stood up fiercely. He moved so
much that he simply knocked down the stool behind him.

“I……I’m going to cook.”

Spitting out a sentence with difficulty, Sheng Feng fled amidst Qing Yun’s
teasing and mocking gaze.

Hurriedly hiding in the kitchen, Sheng Feng covered his face and sighed. Why is
he so hopeless? There is something wrong with him, right? Why did he always
make a fool of himself in front of the youth? What would Qing Yun think of him?
Would he be treated as a pervert?

Looking at the row of dusty knives on the kitchen wall, Sheng Feng simply
wanted to pick up a handful of them and chop off his disobedient thing.
Chapter 57

The man’s desperate flight couldn’t help but make Qing Yun chuckle like in the
previous worlds. He faintly rolled his eyes and looked down from the balcony. Lu
Changfeng stumbled out of the building and ran off into the distance.

Qing Yun deliberately let Lu Changfeng go. In this world’s plot, whether it’s Lu
Changfeng who has absorption ability, or him who has an experimental body
with psychic ability, they are just serving dishes to Sheng Feng, the main
character.

In the past, Qing Yun always found ways to disrupt the protagonist’s route, but
this time is different. He wanted to see what this man would choose if the
roundabout returned to the original trajectory.

Sheng Feng went out and sat at the table, waiting for the five-year-old Qing
Xiaoyun. He was relieved because Qing Xiaoyun’s clear gaze made Sheng Feng
unable to raise any thoughts.

But when he saw the child’s tearful eyes, Sheng Feng found himself relieved too
early.

Qing Xiaoyun couldn’t find his pigeon.

“Where is my pigeon?” Qing Xiaoyun looked at Sheng Feng, sparkling tears in his
eyes, his gaze was also full of accusations, “It won’t run on its own……”

Sheng Feng broke into a sweat and racked his brain, thinking about how to
explain the problem to Qing Xiaoyun.

“There are only two of us here. Did you eat it?”

“I’m not, I didn’t……I……”

Sheng Feng, who did not understand how he had somehow taken the blame,
looked at the tears in the child’s eyes and hurriedly walked over to wipe the
tears on his hands.

“I did not eat……” Once again, seeing the child’s tears, Sheng Feng was
distressed and could not help but hold the person into his arms and coax him
properly, “Yes yes yes, it’s my bad, I did not watch it and let the pigeon fly
away. ”

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. I’ll catch another one for you?”

“I’ll catch a parrot for you, okay? It can talk……”

Sheng Feng took a lot of effort to coax the person. He looked at the child with
red eyes, who was finally willing to eat properly. He could not help but wipe the
sweat on his head and laughed bitterly.

This person, no matter which state he is in, can easily make him overwhelmed.

Sheng Feng almost completed recruiting for his team, but the person Lu
Changfeng mentioned when he came to him yesterday was on Sheng Feng’s
mind.

He found the one who could give psychological hints in the base, and it just so
happened that the person was willing to follow Sheng Feng. Sheng Feng found
five people, one with fire, one with spatial, and one with plant ability. In addition
to the mental ability user, the other person is also an acquaintance of Qing Yun’s.
He is Ding Shiang, the team doctor from the previous group.

These five people gathered downstairs in Sheng Feng’s building, and Sheng Feng
led Qing Yun to walk down.
Sheng Feng looked at these five people and said dryly, “I should have explained
to you before, I may not necessarily go back to B city, whether you want to go
back to B city or follow me, you should all decide.”

After Lu Changfeng got beaten up by him long ago, Sheng Feng did not need to
go back to B city. Sheng Feng’s intention on this trip was to find a suitable place
to live and establish his base. Sheng Feng never thought about this plan before
because he did not have confidence in surviving the end times, but now it’s
different. He would like to give Qing Yun a home even in the end times.

These five people did not object to Sheng Feng’s words. They wanted to go with
him simply because they also wanted to follow a strong person. Sheng Feng’s
ability had already reached above level eight, and they had never heard of a
person whose power exceeded level eight in this world.

“But now, I have one more request.” Sheng Feng said in a deep voice. He
pointed to the only woman in the team, the mental ability user who could give
psychological hints.

Chen Min was stunned that he pointed at her. In fact, Chen Min was shocked
that Sheng Feng was willing to take her with him. Because although her ability
sounds good, it is not only affected by the level of the ability but also pressed
useless when encountering a strong-willed person. And in the last days, which of
the powerful people is not a determined one?

On the other hand, Chen Min was willing to follow Sheng Feng because he was a
strong man and because she had a crush on this powerful man from the first
time she saw him, so when he approached her, she agreed without hesitation.

“Anyone in my team is subject to psychological suggestion.”

As soon as Sheng Feng’s words fell, these five people just froze as they watched
Sheng Feng reach out and pull the youth beside him over.
“This psychological implication is not for you to be loyal to the team, but to be
loyal to him, every one of you must remain absolutely loyal to Qing Yun.”

These five people looked at the youth beside Sheng Feng, who looked confused.
They all looked like they could not understand. Ding Shiang, who knew Qing
Yun’s situation was even full of shock, he was not expecting Sheng Feng to make
this request.

Looking at the five people’s hesitant faces, Sheng Feng said his reward: “My
ability has reached the ninth level.”

Several people immediately drew a breath of cold air and looked at Sheng Feng
with eyes full of disbelief.

Sheng Feng continued: “I’m afraid no one knows more about the advancement
of abilities than I do. Besides, my ability can easily monitor the direction of the
power in your body, so when you advance your abilities, I am 80% sure that you
will succeed in your advancement. Even if your ability goes out of control during
your advancement, I can still suppress your ability and keep you from dying.”

The few people’s eyes instantly flashed with thoughts and struggles. The bait
that Sheng Feng threw to them obviously carried enough weight. After all,
strength is everything in the end times.

“I promise!” The first to speak out was Ding Shiang. He was also more familiar
with Sheng Feng, and most importantly, he knew Qing Yun’s situation. Qing Yun
is not weak at all, and even in the state of five years old, Sheng Feng is there to
protect him. The real use of them can be said to be very little, and Sheng Feng
mentioned this request probably just for safety purposes.

The rest of the few people considered it a long time, but finally, all opened their
mouths to agree.
At this time, Chen Min said with a difficult face: “Captain, my ability may not be
that useful……If they are too strong-willed, I may not be able to succeed. I can
sense whether my hints have succeeded!”

“Under the pressure of my ability, it is impossible for them to resist.” The thing
that Chen Min said, Sheng Feng had already considered and also came up with
his countermeasures. After all, these people’s ability level is not very high, just
the same level as Chen Min’s ability. Sheng Feng’s level nine ability can crush
their existence.

Sheng Feng naturally considered this when picking people, so he eliminated

several powerful psychics who were originally candidates after learning Chen
Min’s existence. After all, for him, loyalty is far more useful than being powerful.

Chen Min nodded and was just about to activate her ability to give these people
a psychological hint when she felt a shock of coldness in her body. Sheng Feng’s
cold gaze without a trace of emotion swept over her, and she heard Sheng Feng
say, “Before giving others a psychological suggestion, give one to yourself first.”

Chen Min felt a chill in her heart, and her adoration for Sheng Feng immediately
dissipated because of his cold eyes. Chen Min did not dare to disobey Sheng
Feng’s words and could only give herself a hint first with a pale face. She was
more familiar with this; after all, she had also given herself a hint to ignore her
injuries and so on.

Sheng Feng looked at Chen Min. He let out his pressure and used his ability to
monitor the subtle changes in Chen Min’s internal power. Sheng Feng’s ability is
extraordinary, since the discovery that it can also be used as a microwave oven,
Sheng Feng actively explored the usefulness of his ability. He discovered that he
could see through other people’s ability. After all, an ability is also a kind of
power.

However, when he tried to control other people’s powers, he failed. But in time,
he felt he should be able to do so.
Sheng Feng watched Chen Min look stunned. After opening his eyes to look at
Qing Yun behind him, the expression in his eyes immediately changed to one of
warmth and with a vague care. Qing Yun looked a little uncomfortable and pulled
Sheng Feng’s sleeve to hide behind him.

“Be good. It’s okay.” Sheng Feng lovingly stroked Qing Yun’s face. He did not
expect the child to be shy under the gaze of others like this.

After the rest of the people received psychological hints, Sheng Feng then
explained to them, “Tomorrow morning, get ready to leave.”

Before leaving, Sheng Feng called out to the plant-based ability user. “Li Ye, wait
a moment.”

Li Ye immediately stopped, did not expect Sheng Feng to hand him two seeds:
“Captain……this is? These are not the seeds of mutant plants. There is no killing
power, ah?”

With that said, they suddenly all froze, looking incredulously at the seeds in Li
Ye’s hands: “These are not the seeds of a mutant plant?!”

Li Ye did not know what came to mind, but his body trembled, and his eyes
turned red with excitement. Then, he carefully gathered the seeds in his hands
and asked Sheng Feng: “Captain, captain, these are really…… normal seeds?”

Sheng Feng nodded towards them, but his hand was squeezing Qing Yun’s soft
palm.

This is something that Qing Xiaoyun’s pigeon brought back. The pigeon was
driven away by Qing Yun last time, and the result was that it flew back on its
own a few days later and came with two red berries.
Sheng Feng just happened to see Qing Yun eating berries at the time and was
frightened to the point that his heart was about to jump out. He thought that the
child had eaten a mutated plant and nearly killed the pigeon.

But a closer look revealed that these were two precious normal plant fruits,
which is why Sheng Feng found Li Ye, a plant ability user.

Getting Sheng Feng’s affirmation, Li Ye burst into tears.

Although plant ability users can grow plants, they must have certain plants’
seeds or roots to do so. When the end times first arrived, plant ability users did
not realize the lack of food brought about by the mutation of soil and water
sources. Instead, they collected some mutated lethal plants to deal with the
zombies.

By the time they realized the seriousness of the problem, most of the plants had
mutated and were not edible to humans because of the toxins. Even the seeds
such as corn and wheat that people had previously stocked up on had mutated
to various degrees.

This led to the crisis of food scarcity in the end days. Now, people eat processed
food, and fruits and vegetables can only be seen in the dream world.

Li Ye did not expect to be able to see normal plant seeds in his lifetime. He
boldly wiped his tears with one hand, but the other hand was extremely gentle
in holding the seeds like he was carrying the hope of the end times.

“Captain, don’t worry, I won’t waste any of these two seeds!”

Ding Shiang and the others were also very excited. They felt that following
Sheng Feng was the best decision of their lives.
Everyone left with their hearts surging, and Sheng Feng also led Qing Yun
upstairs. He had to let the child have a good rest as they would start their
journey tomorrow.

Behind him, Qing Yun’s eyes slowly changed. He looked at the few people who
left, and his gaze fell on Chen Min’s body. His eyes could not help but flash a
hint of interest. He remembered that in the direction of this world, Chen Min is
Sheng Feng’s woman, the female lead of this world.

yuzu: Hi! Sorry for being gone. I just got too busy with doing my final tasks for
the semester, which is finally over!
Chapter 58

Sheng Feng’s team left H base, while Lu Changfeng was nowhere to be found.

Qing Yun once again sat back in Sheng Feng’s car. Sheng Feng had brought
along this vehicle with satellite surveillance from B City and was not from the H
base, so it was still with him.

In the past few days in H base, Sheng Feng modified the car’s back seat into a
fairly wide bed. He thought to make the child more comfortable during the
journey but did not expect Qing Xiaoyun to prefer to sit next to him on the
passenger seat.

Since he got those two seeds, Sheng Feng changed his route. He originally
wanted to establish his base in the center of the city, but now he planned to
sweep around the city a few times and head for the countryside. Maybe there,
he could get more seeds.

Three days later, Li Ye finally nurtured those two seeds to sprout, and this good
news lifted the spirits of those in the group.

Li Ye excitedly carried the two potted plants to Sheng Feng’s car for Qing Yun to
see.

It was two tiny buds growing in a small pot. They were green and lovely,
attracting Qing Yun’s attention right away.

“Young Master Yun, look!” Li Ye handed the flower pots to Qing Yun and said. “I
was afraid that the ordinary soil would be dangerous, so I had Brother Ding with
earth-system ability to work out the soil and also unsealed a bottle of
uncontaminated mineral water, which gave birth to these two small seedlings.”

After saying that, Li Ye once again operated his powers, and in Qing Yun’s
amazed gaze, the two seedlings grew at speed visible to the naked eye.
Qing Yun looked like he wanted to reach out and hug the flower pot, but as he
extended his hand, he thought that it seemed to be someone else’s, so he
looked at Li Ye with embarrassment and asked him, “Can I have it? I’ll give you
something else in exchange.”

“No, no!” These two plants can be said to be the most precious plants in the end
days. Li Ye, Ding Shiang, and the others did not hesitate and directly handed it
to Qing Yun’s hand, “The seeds were originally young master Yun’s.”

Sheng Feng watched the performance of the few people on the side and finally
relaxed slightly. In fact, he was not very trusting of Chen Min’s ability and had
been observing these people after leaving the H base. Although he has a certain
degree of possessiveness towards Qing Yun, he does not want the five-year-old
Qing Yun to be surrounded by only himself. He should enjoy adults’ care like
other children and even play with partners, not just stay in Sheng Feng’s
embrace.

“Slow down.” Chen Min spoke out, but instead of disagreeing to hand the plant
over to Qing Yun, she took out a paper towel and carefully wiped the soil off the
pot before handing it over to Qing Yun.

As a girl, Chen Min is naturally very attentive and noticed that Qing Yun seems
to have a cleanliness issue. Under the influence of psychological suggestion and
Chen Min’s motherly feelings, she instead doted on Qing Yun a little more.

“Yes, yes, it’s my carelessness. I should have cleaned the flower pot earlier.”
Ding Shiang hurriedly rubbed his head in embarrassment.

Looking at these few people surrounding Qing Yun and vaguely ignoring himself,
Sheng Feng was not displeased as the captain. This was the effect he wanted.

The few people surrounded Qing Yun and made a lot of noise. Finally, when they
left, the two flower pots were not kept by Qing Yun.
Sheng Feng was puzzled and asked him, “What? Don’t you like it?”

Who would have expected the child to shake his head, turn to him, and say,
“They like it too.”

Sheng Feng could not help softening his face, taking time to touch the top of his
hair. This child is sometimes so well-behaved that it hurts.

Qing Yun turned his head to look at the back of those five people leaving. He
was sensitive to the fact that these five people did not actually care for him in
the same way as Sheng Feng, but still made him very grateful.

The two seedlings quickly grew and matured with Li Ye’s help, and the ten
berries obtained naturally went into Qing Yun’s stomach, while the seeds were
left for Li Ye to then plant.

It is not clear whether it is a coincidence or not. Since Qing Yun was interested
in the two seedlings, the pigeon seemed to understand Qing Yun’s wishes and
brought some more seeds and fruits to Qing Yun one after another. This made
the people in the team delighted and a little surprised.

This time, Qing Yun carefully left the seeds behind, but he did not give them to
Li Ye. Instead, he asked Sheng Feng for a few flower pots and ran outside to dig
the soil every time the caravan was stationed.

“Ordinary soil is toxic. It won’t grow well.” Sheng Feng squatted beside the child
and wiped the beads of sweat from the tip of his nose, “If you want, let Ding
Shiang get you some.”

“I can grow it well by myself.” Qing Xiaoyun was very unhappy with Sheng
Feng’s skeptical words and stubbornly dug the soil by himself.
Sheng Feng smiled helplessly and eventually let him go to play, but it was just a
waste of a few seeds.

While digging with the child, Sheng Feng’s attention shifted to another matter.
Not sure if he was overthinking, but he always felt that Qing Yun’s pigeon could
understand human language.

Sheng Feng can guarantee that when he caught this pigeon, it was just an
ordinary pigeon, and at the beginning, Sheng Feng did not have such a feeling.

But the pigeon followed Qing Yun for a long time, and Sheng Feng watched the
child often talk to the pigeon. The pigeon seems to have mutated, and it can
understand human speech.

Like these seeds in Qing Yun’s hand, Qing Yun mentioned it while chatting with
the pigeon. As a result, the pigeon flew out in the afternoon and returned only
after a whole day, bringing back seeds for Qing Yun.

Thinking this way, Sheng Feng turned his head to stare at the pigeon jumping
around Qing Yun. The pigeon seemed to sense Sheng Feng’s gaze and turned its
head extremely humanely to stare at Sheng Feng.

“Come here.” Sheng Feng said in a deep voice.

As a result, he was surprised to see that the pigeon really took two steps
towards Sheng Feng.

“Bring me two seeds.” Sheng Feng then ordered.

But the pigeon seemed to ignore him this time and instead bounced back to Qing
Yun’s side.
At this point, Qing Yun’s voice sounded stern, “Don’t make it look for more. The
pigeon is tired.”

Sheng Feng stared at the serious-looking child, and only then did he think about
Qing Yun’s abilities. The series of coincidental events linked up, allowing some
hidden speculation to emerge in Sheng Feng’s mind. But the first thing he felt
was not delight but rather deep concern.

If Qing Yun’s ability was as unbelievable as he thought, how many people would
covet it in this post-apocalyptic world? He must protect the child.

Sheng Feng’s protection of Qing Yun increased. He even covered up the traces
that Qing Yun usually reveals in front of Chen Min and others.

But the pigeon became Sheng Feng’s hard worker and was forced by Sheng
Feng to lead the way to find seeds all day long so that the team slowly got more
green plants.

When the people in the team were interested in the pigeon on Sheng Feng’s
shoulder, Sheng Feng once again took the pigeon out, but this time he brought
back something that surprised the crowd.

Sheng Feng caught and brought back a mutated tiger. This tiger was huge and
had an extremely humane look in his gaze. He was obviously subdued by Sheng
Feng and was trembling in fear when facing him.

“Captain, what did you catch a tiger for?” Ding Shiang asked in surprise as he
came around.

“Qing Yun likes these spiritually mutated animals, I caught a pigeon for him
before, so I’ll get another one when I meet him this time.” Sheng Feng said
carelessly.
This statement instantly dispelled the doubts of the people. The pigeon is so
divine that it brings seeds to Qing Yun every time. It turns out to be a mutation,
just not a common type of mutation.

Seeing at these people’s looks, Sheng Feng then relaxed. Although these people
have received psychological hints, Sheng Feng is still not at ease. With the
matter of Qing Yun, he can not be careless at all.

This spiritually mutated tiger was found and tamed by him a few days ago. After
accidentally finding this tiger, Sheng Feng then dared to brazenly take the
pigeon out and pretend to bring the tiger back by coincidence, completely
dispelling the doubts in these people’s minds.

Qing Yun was the happiest one to see the tiger.

He immediately pounced towards the tiger. The tiger subconsciously followed its
wild nature and bared its teeth towards Qing Yun, but not before Sheng Feng’s
ability was activated. The fierce-looking tiger keenly sensed the powerful aura
from Qing Yun’s body. He immediately rolled around to reveal its fluffy belly,
making a submissive gesture.

The tiger looked at the youth, who was smiling with a pure childish face in front
of him, with fear. This person seemed unremarkable, but he felt terrible when he
closely sensed him.

The pigeon on Qing Yun’s shoulder glanced disdainfully at the tiger, who was like
a big cat on the ground, but was pleased in his heart. With this second one
around, will his miserable life get better in the future?

Sheng Feng looked at Qing Yun happily petting the tiger, but his eyes could not
help but flash a trace of loneliness and longing.

The adult Qing Yun has not appeared for some time.
Sheng Feng collected more kinds of plants, and Li Ye even produced corn. Sheng
Feng also began to consider a place to settle down and recruit more people.

Lu Changfeng, who was let go by Qing Yun, lived in a muddled state because he
went crazy.

Although Sheng Feng spared Lu Changfeng’s life, his ability had caused
significant damage to Lu Changfeng’s brain, so Lu Changfeng had become a fool
in the true sense.

Qing Yun even planted an intention in his mind so that Lu Changfeng would
always think about his ability and head for the capital.

After a fight for supplies, Lu Changfeng looked confused and ran to the killed
corpses. Soon, some broken limbs and even whole bodies inexplicably
disappeared.

Lu Changfeng seemed to be unaware of his actions and kept chanting, “Sheng

Feng, Qing Yun, your wishes come true.”

And then it was, “I want to go to the capital…..I want to go to the capital……”

Someone close by noticed Lu Changfeng’s movements and couldn’t help but

poke the person next to him, “Hey, look at him, does he have spatial ability?”

As soon as the person he asked saw that it was Lu Changfeng, he immediately

turned his face with disgust: “It’s a fool, always picking up some messy things in
his space, that space can’t hold supplies at all!”

Lu Changfeng used his spatial ability to bounce around from one team to
another.
In the end, he did make it to the capital, where the largest experimental base of
the end times was built. Qing Yun’s body just happened to be an experimental
body that escaped from there.
Chapter 59

Sheng Feng and the others continued to move forward, looking for a suitable
place to stop. They decided to settle in the suburbs.

One day, the convoy was stationed again. Ding Shiang and Li Ye both went to
scout around for any suitable places, while Chen Min was responsible for cooking.

She rummaged through the supplies and surprisingly found a can of fresh,
canned fruit. Chen Min subconsciously wanted to take the can and send it to
Qing Yun. She laughed bitterly. Although she was very clear about the memory
of the psychological suggestion given to her at the beginning, she was still
influenced by it and was very loyal to Qing Yun.

Qing Yun wasted a few seeds and planted them by himself, but they didn’t feel
the least bit wrong. Instead, they watched Qing Yun cherish the plants that were
almost ruined, and they couldn’t help but care.

Nevertheless, Li Ye and Ding Shiang both wanted to help Qing Yun take care of
those pots, but Qing Yun was unwilling to take others’ help.

With these thoughts, Chen Min did not think there was anything wrong with
Sheng Feng’s approach. This was the end of times, and it was the most normal
thing for the weak to submit to the strong. Sheng Feng also promised to guide
their abilities and suppress them by force if something happens. There was
nothing else to say.

Chen Min was in a daze. Then, she saw Sheng Feng walking out of the car, and
she subconsciously bowed her head and said, “Dinner will be ready in a while……”

Now, Chen Min’s few feelings of affection for Sheng Feng have long since worn
away because of his cold attitude. Although Sheng Feng is too indifferent, it
seems that all his tenderness has been given to Qing Yun alone.
Sometimes Chen Min even felt that Sheng Feng was more like the one who
received the psychological hint compared to the five of them.

“Have Li Ye and Ding Shiang come back? When they come back, the five of you
come to my car together. Qing Yun has something to ask you.” Sheng Feng said
in a deep voice.

Chen Min responded. She did not know if she was overthinking, but she felt that
Sheng Feng’s tone was not very good and seemed to carry some unspoken
danger.

When Li Ye and Ding Shiang came back, they walked to Sheng Feng’s car
together. They thought Qing Yun would give them some task, but once they
entered the vehicle, they just saw the youth sitting in the back, fiddling with the
several pots of plants.

These plants were a few pots of berries. Unexpectedly, they emerged from the
contaminated soil used by Qing Yun, and there was no trace of mutation at all.
Now, these pots of berries are fully developed and red, looking extremely
pleasing.

The young man, who was mentally only five years old, looked incredibly soft,
and when he saw Chen Min and the others enter, he pushed the flower pot in his
hand towards Chen Min.

“It’s for Chen Min.”

Chen Min was stunned, looking at the red and bright berries in the pot,
completely unresponsive.

Although the team has already received some seeds, the seed of this berry is
difficult to cultivate. Even Li Ye can not guarantee that the planted ones will not
be a mutated variety. Therefore, this berry is a rare type whether it is in this
team or the whole post-apocalyptic world.
Chen Min and the others know how valuable these are to Qing Yun. He moves
them around every day, gives them sunlight, waters them, and devotes himself
almost entirely to the cultivation of these plants.

Chen Min really did not expect that Qing Yun would give her this berry that he
treasured beyond measure.

“I……mine?” Chen Min asked, pointing to herself. She looked up and met the
child’s clear eyes, which clearly conveyed a feeling of gratitude.

The child pursed his lips and seemed a little worried that she would not accept.
His white fingers were restlessly sliding on the rough surface of the flower pot.

Chen Min was completely frozen.

Having not faced such gratitude in the end times for so long, Chen Min didn’t
even know how to react.

Chen Min even wondered why the child would give her something. Just because
they were under the psychological suggestion to provide him with care? Just for
their false emotions?

How ridiculous, it is normal for the weak to submit to the strong, and yet in
return, they receive the child’s most sincere thanks.

The thirsty and withered heart seemed like it had suddenly soaked into a sweet
spring. Chen Min both wanted to laugh and cry and wanted to rub the child
smiling at her into her arms.

Just because of this little kindness, the child spends so many days working hard
and earnestly to prepare gifts for them to repay those false emotions?
It was…silly.

The child’s sincere gaze shattered the deepest hidden trace of unwillingness in
her heart. Chen Min finally understood why Sheng Feng was extremely
affectionate to Qing Yun.

Because what this child can give is precisely the least valuable, yet the most
precious and rare things in this last world.

Chen Min’s hands were almost trembling as she accepted the flower pot from the
child. She suddenly felt that she had no face to receive Qing Yun’s gift and that
false feelings should not be exchanged for such sincerity.

Qing Yun watched her take the flower pot and once again held it up and handed
it to the others.

“This one is for Li Ye.”

“This one is for Ding Shiang.”

“This one is for…….”

These four big men were at a loss for words when faced with Qing Yun’s gift.
After a long time, they have almost forgotten how to give back to others’ sincere
feelings.

Ding Shiang, who had once turned a blind eye to Qing Yun’s distress, rubbed his
rough, cracked, and dirty palms on his pants several times before carefully
accepting the red plant from the child’s hands.
Chen Min no longer remembers what kind of mood they were in when they got
out of Sheng Feng’s car holding the flower pot and how they fell into sleep at
night. When she woke up in the middle of the night, Chen Min still kept that
happy and soft feeling as if she was stepping on a cloud.

What woke Chen Min up was the faint sound coming from outside the car. She
carefully walked to the car window to look over and found it was Ding Shiang
crying.

The big man held the flower pot in his arms and cried. Seemingly sensing
someone behind him, Ding Shiang paused for a moment before the sound of his
crying voice rang out.

“I’m really not a f*cking human! I just watched him being called out like that in
the beginning……”

“I didn’t expect, just a little, just gave him a little help, just a little good to him,
he……gave me this……thing, I……”

There were two more muffled sounds, which seemed to be the sound of a man’s
fist smashing into his chest.

Chen Min slowly retreated, letting the man’s regretful sorrow hide in the
darkness. In the end times, everyone has their secrets. Chen Min did not hear
Ding Shiang talk about what he did with Qing Yun before, but she knew that
such a thing would not happen again.

All five people tacitly agreed not to ask why Qing Yun could grow normal plants
with contaminated soil.

The atmosphere in this team is also quietly changed. It is no longer a team

formed randomly to survive, and a shallow and light warmth slowly spreads.
The child gave gifts to the five people in the team, but Sheng Feng was not very
happy.

As soon as he woke up the next morning, Qing Xiaoyun found that Sheng Feng
still had a stinky face. He couldn’t help but tug on his sleeve with uncertainty.

Sheng Feng looked at him with a stern face, clamped his hands around the
child’s waist, and carried him into his arms: “In the future, you are not allowed
to give the things you got to others.”

Sheng Feng has been worried about the exposure of Qing Yun’s ability. After all,
when the five pots of regular berries grew from the contaminated soil, it was a
complete confirmation of Sheng Feng’s suspicions, so he has been limiting Qing
Yun’s use of this ability.

He was sensitive to the fact that this ability might be harmful to the child’s body.
Recently, he didn’t even let the child supply water, but he didn’t expect Qing Yun
to be stubborn enough to give the five pots of plants to Chen Min and the others.

Thinking about when the first pot of berries was planted, the delighted look of
these five people made a deep impression on Qing Yun.

But Qing Xiaoyun did not understand Sheng Feng’s words very well, and he did
not notice the abnormality of his ability. He just looked at Sheng Feng sideways
quietly, and then suddenly, as if he understood something, he asked: “Is it
because I did not give it to you that you are angry?”

Sheng Feng was stunned, not expecting the child to ask this.

However, the next second the child’s action made him stunned.
Qing Xiaoyun wrapped his arms around his neck and jumped into Sheng Feng’s
arms. His soft and serious voice rang in Sheng Feng’s ears, “All of mine are
Sheng Feng’s!”

These words hit Sheng Feng’s heart hard, causing his heart to soften into a
puddle of water instantly, and the trace of sourness that was hidden extremely
deep in his heart disappeared without a trace.

“You are really……” Sheng Feng cried and laughed as he hugged the child in front
of him.

Before Sheng Feng finished his sentence, he felt the child’s aura in his arms,
which was initially soft and sweet, change. A coldness that made Sheng Feng’s
heart distressed and intoxicated slowly spread out.

It’s Qing Yun.

Sheng Feng was startled but did not let go of the youth and instead tightened
his arms.

The adult Qing Yun has not appeared for some days, and this is the first time
that Sheng Feng has seen him in a while.

Thoughts surged wildly. This unspeakable stirring has always overwhelmed

Sheng Feng, but he didn’t want to let go this time.

He pressed himself to rub the youth, who would drive him crazy whether he was
there or not because the young man’s disappearance these days brought a kind
of fear to Sheng Feng that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

What if……one day, the adult Qing Yun disappears?

“Everything I have is also yours, ok?” Sheng Feng rubbed against Qing Yun’s
neck and murmured out softly in his ear.

“All for me?” Qing Yun laughed lightly, and a memory flashed in his eyes. Once,
in a certain world, this man also hugged him in this position and asked him a
similar question with a smile.

But in this world, this man’s image has suddenly changed in Qing Yun’s heart.
He is no longer just a crazy suitor of Qing Yun’s, but has crept into his childhood
memories without his consent, acting as the only ray of light in his gray and
endless childhood.

He was tall and reliable, giving enough comfort to the insecure Qing Xiaoyun. It
made it difficult for Qing Yun, who had hastily accepted this memory, to deal
with this man’s relationship with him.

Noticing Sheng Feng’s love for the adult him, Qing Yun even felt a little
embarrassed.

“Why should I keep someone around who has ill intentions towards me?”

Qing Yun snorted and looked away, hiding the discomfort in his eyes. In his
memories of close to ten thousand years, this was the first time Qing Yun had
encountered such a situation, where this man he had slept with for several
worlds suddenly turned into a father-like figure of his childhood.

This impression with Qing Xiaoyun emerged little by little and carved traces in
Qing Yun’s mind, making it difficult for him to ignore.

If the two of them got along in the same way as in the previous worlds, Qing
Yun could tease this man without a care in the world. He could treat him coldly
or spoil him depending on his mood, and watch this man become unable to help
himself because of him.
But now, this man really provoked his heart. However, Qing Yun is still a bit
restrained.

Hearing Qing Yun pierce his heart’s hidden desires, Sheng Feng stiffened but still
did not let go of his hand.

He looked up seriously at Qing Yun, and his eyes were surprisingly firm as never
before: “Yes, I have a bad heart for you, I just have a bad heart for the adult
you…….”

After saying that, Sheng Feng lowered his head and gently touched Qing Yun’s
lips. His dry and peeling lips met the youth’s soft and tender lips and rubbed the
faint pink into red.

Qing Yun did not expect Sheng Feng’s action at all. This man has always taken
an evasive attitude towards Qing Yun in this world, so he did not expect this
time to be the opposite. Qing Yun was surprised and subconsciously dodged, but
the back of his head was held by the man’s big hand, blocking his retreat.

This kiss was light but the deepest kiss that Qing Yun had ever experienced,
almost as if it had landed gently on his heart.

“When you are five years old, I wanted to protect you, to love you like a father,
to give you a home, and to give you the best life. But all this still can’t hide the
fact that I like you as an adult.” Sheng Feng pressed his lips against the youth’s
and confessed with unusual seriousness. He was indeed torn about this emotion,
and even once, could not accept such a self.

But Sheng Feng still decided to say it. The disappearance of the youth these
days made him afraid that one day he would no longer have the opportunity to
reveal his heart.

Qing Yun looked at Sheng Feng’s eyes in a daze. These eyes not only carried the
same love and affection as the previous worlds but were mixed with affection,
doting, and a hint of deep depression.
“I just can’t restrain the desire to kiss you, to hold you, to…..”

The man’s words caught Qing Yun by surprise, making his ears red. To hear the
man in his memory whom he was attached to and admired, say such explicit
words in front of him, Qing Yun, who has lived for tens of thousands of years,
was furious and immediately slapped the other.

“Pervert!”

Sheng Feng’s already red face was slapped even redder by Qing Yun, but his
hands were still tightly wrapped around Qing Yun, not giving the slightest chance
to leave.

“Captain!”

Someone’s voice suddenly sounded outside the car window, just interrupting the
awkward atmosphere inside the car.

Lowering the car window, Ding Shiang and Li Ye both scratched their heads and
said, “Captain, there is a playground not far away, should we take Xiaoyun to
have a look?”

Playground? Xiaoyun?

Qing Yun’s already angry brain “buzzed” more powerfully at this time. He was
excited, and then the five-year-old Qing Xiaoyun emerged again.
Chapter 60

It was not only Ding Shiang who didn’t get a good night’s sleep last night. When
they remembered the playground they saw while checking the terrain, they ran
over in the middle of the night and cleared the zombies there, waiting to give
Qing Yun a surprise in the morning.

Qing Xiaoyun was very curious about everything and naturally will not refuse
Ding Shiang and Li Ye.

The entire playground is empty and neglected. The originally most lively place is
left with only patchy colors. All sorts of equipment have stopped turning and are
stationed there alone.

But it was different in Qing Xiaoyun’s eyes. Every single thing here was new to
him.

Looking at the cheerful and curious youth in this quiet to eerie playground, a
trace of sourness flooded the hearts of the adults present.

There was a photo wall standing alone in the playground, and the laughing faces
of the people on it attracted Qing Xiaoyun to come closer. He looked at the
photo of the colorful and gorgeous playground, the blue sky, and the green
grass and trees. Then, he turned around and looked behind him, and his heart
also felt that something was amiss.

This world, it’s like it’s sick.

Sheng Feng and the others also could not help but come over and see the scene
in the photo with a bitter smile.

“It has been so long since I have seen a scene like this, I thought I had almost
forgotten.” Ding Shiang raised his hand and rubbed his face, tears glittering in
his eyes. Before the end of the world, he had a young son who had just turned
three years old and a gentle and caring wife. The three of them often played in
playgrounds in their free time.

But such cheerful smiles made the bitter memories in Ding Shiang’s mind
extremely horrifying. The morning the end times came, he opened his eyes and
saw his son, who had turned into a zombie, biting his wife’s throat.

He witnessed as his beloved wife and son became rotten, festered, and
transformed into disgusting monsters that chased him frantically. And after
breaking down and suffering, Ding Shiang took the knife himself and chopped off
their heads with tears in his eyes.

Chen Min and the others also lowered their heads to hide the nostalgia in their
eyes.

Sheng Feng did not have the same feelings as Ding Shiang. He was a retired
soldier and had always been alone. However, out of some deep-rooted sense of
responsibility, he would help those around him after the end of the world.

But for himself, Sheng Feng was passive. He does not have a big goal, and even
his desire to live was not very strong. He seemed to be in a state where he was
full of love for the world and indifferent at the same time.

He just used his ability as a tool, traveling around to see the whole post-
apocalyptic life and giving a helping hand when necessary.

But now it’s different. For the first time, Sheng Feng has someone he wants to
protect.

Sheng Feng went up, carried the child to the carousel that he was obviously
interested in, and asked him, “Want to play?”
“Want!” The hint of something wrong slowly hid in his heart, and Qing Xiaoyun
nodded excitedly towards Sheng Feng.

Sheng Feng’s ability activated, then the carousel slowly turned. There was no
pleasant music, and the only accompaniment was the creaking sound of the
long-unused machine.

But Qing Xiaoyun enjoyed it, sitting and spinning around again and again.

Sheng Feng watched with a smile on his face. After a long time, he felt that
something was not right. The young man sitting on the merry-go-round who had
collected his smile but remained calm and gentle was Qing Yun.

Often, Sheng Feng would always be able to spot the difference in the youth’s
state as soon as he could. But this time, perhaps because the distance was too
far, or maybe Qing Yun’s eyes were too calm, he fell into a trance for a moment
before realizing it.

Qing Yun looked up at this dilapidated machine, and then looked at Sheng Feng,
who was standing nearby and extending his hand to him. He thought that he
would be angry and furious in this situation, but in fact, his heart only had a
faint peace of mind.

Because, in this desolate playground, Qing Xiaoyun was greatly comforted, and
this soothing feeling even reached Qing Yun’s mind, calming the hostility that
was difficult to disperse in his heart inch by inch.

Qing Yun looked at Sheng Feng. This man was the strangest protagonist he had
ever seen.

He did not build his army, nor did he have an exact upgrade route like other
protagonists. Sheng Feng was simply a man who traveled almost halfway across
the world, and every time he stopped, his power and bursting sense of
responsibility left an unforgettable memory for the local people.
In the original course, Sheng Feng and Lu Changfeng still picked up Qing Yun,
the experimental body. Lu Changfeng likewise discovered the body’s godlike
ability, and just when Lu Changfeng was about to absorb the ability, he was
discovered by Sheng Feng.

Of course, Sheng Feng wanted to stop Lu Changfeng’s cruelty to this

experimental body, so in the collision of the three’s energy, the experimental
subject’s ability riot surprisingly used Lu Changfeng’s absorption ability to
transmit his own mental ability to Sheng Feng.

The loss of Lu Changfeng and the experimental body resulted in a powerful

Sheng Feng.

And Sheng Feng made the world a better place. He was the savior of the last
days, the man who brought hope to the world with his life, and the existence
that was called God by later generations.

The key to the ending of the end of the world was Qing Yun’s ability. He let Lu
Changfeng go and hinted at him to go to the capital, just to see who Sheng Feng,
the “protagonist”, would choose between the whole world and him?

Chris made that choice for the sake of the Federation and the people, Qing Yun
accepted it well and even watched that man’s struggle and will with a touch of
admiration.

But in this case, no.

The carousel wobbled to a halt, and Qing Yun hid the thoughts in his eyes. He
smacked Sheng Feng’s hand away and jumped down himself.

Sheng Feng’s eyes flashed helplessly, but still took the young man’s waist,
moved over, and said: “Don’t ignore me.”
As he said this, he brushed the corner of Qing Yun’s lips, and before he could
move, he suddenly heard two “pops”.

Not far away, Chen Min, who came over to bring them water, stood frozen. She
stared wide-eyed at Sheng Feng and Qing Yun, who almost kissed each other,
with an expression as if the sky had collapsed, and even the two bottles of
mineral water under her feet rolled away unnoticed.

Seeing the person, Qing Yun slightly narrowed his eyes. He has not forgotten
that Chen Min is the female lead of this world. Sheng Feng traveled through the
end times, attracting countless women, and this was the only woman accepted
by Sheng Feng. She followed him on his travels and watched him save the world.

The next second, the “female lead” who was frozen took two steps over and
violently pushed Sheng Feng away and pulled Qing Yun behind herself.

“You! You……” Chen Min pointed at Sheng Feng, and her fingers were shaking
with anger, “He’s only a child in his mind! How could you do such a thing!”

Sheng Feng: “……”

The corners of Qing Yun’s mouth stiffened, obviously not expecting Chen Min to
react this way.

Chen Min seemed to be really stimulated. All day long, she dragged Qing Yun to
hide from Sheng Feng and even took out her treasured disinfectant tissues to
wipe Qing Yun’s mouth.

Even at dinner, Qing Yun still heard Chen Min squinting at Sheng Feng and
muttering in a low voice.
“Damn, was I blind in the beginning and actually fell for this beast with a human
face?”

Sheng-Beast-Feng crouched expressionlessly to the side, gazing at the pleasant-

looking Qing Yun.

Sheng Feng’s base was eventually stationed next to the playground. He began to
recruit more people slowly, and the number of seeds collected in his team
gradually increased. As the only base that could grow normal plants, it slowly
became famous, and countless ability users wanted to get in. However, the base
was very strict in its recruitment, and the people who came from inside were
very tight-lipped, so most of the ability users could only sigh in disappointment.

Lu Changfeng went around the capital. Eventually, his habit of collecting broken
limbs and arms was noticed, and he was taken into the laboratory.

He was marked with a number and thrown into a “cage” like cargo.

Next to him, there were also other ability users. These people seemed to have
grown up in the laboratory since childhood as there was no discomfort with the
life in the laboratory. And even when they see their companions being taken
away from time to time and never returning, there was no violent reaction, as if
such things were as common as eating and drinking.

But Lu Changfeng still reacted, and he was almost frantic as he grabbed the
railing and roared, “I want to get what I want, I want to get what I want! Qing
Yun, bring Qing Yun to me!”

After screaming for a while, he squatted down nervously and frantically grabbed
his hair. He covered his face and cried out. It seemed that his heart’s desire was
something he had to do.
Lu Changfeng cried and reached out to grab the pants of the laboratory
personnel: “Let my wish come true, let my wish come true……”

Professor Wu of the laboratory walked past Lu Changfeng with his record book.
He looked up, and his old but wise and calm gaze examined Lu Changfeng
through his lenses.

“How is the condition of this subject?”

His assistant replied, “Brain trauma. He cannot be used for psychic ability
experiments, but he has a space ability, and the contents of his space are still
unknown.”

Referring to his research direction – psychic abilities, Professor Wu sighed: “If

Experiment No. 3 had not been lost, the research in this direction could have
continued.”

Hearing the professor talking about Experiment No. 3 again, the assistant did
not say anything. When Experiment No. 3 disappeared after an accident, it was
a big blow to Professor Wu.

In the beginning, Professor Wu’s research direction was very heavenly. When
the end times came, one of the clones in his laboratory turned out to be mutated
and could change the morphological characteristics of matter with his mental
ability.

This mutation made Professor Wu feel like he had gone mad. He decided that
the key to solving the end times lay in this experimental body and put most of
his energy into researching mental psychic abilities that others did not value at
first.

Now, the new people in the laboratory only heard this as a rumor, but not
Professor Wu’s assistant, who had followed Professor Wu throughout the way
and had seen with his own eyes the godlike powers of that artificial man.
Thinking about this, the assistant couldn’t help but open the booklet in his hand
again, where a picture of a young man was neatly pasted.

Lu Changfeng got up with the help of the wall and caught sight of the photo. He
was caught off guard and reached out to snatch the booklet from his assistant’s
hand. He pointed at the image on the booklet, and his eyes almost filled with
blood: “Qing Yun! I want to get what I want! I want what he desires!”

Professor Wu, who was about to walk away, suddenly stopped in his tracks. His
gaze was like a sharp sword stabbing at Lu Changfeng, and his whole body
perked up.

He instructed his assistant, “Find an experimental subject with healing abilities

and let them heal this man’s brain.”

Sheng Feng’s base had been established for more than three months, and today
happened to be the second time when this base was recruiting people.

Wang Sen was fortunate to get the opportunity to enter this legendary base. He
was lucky that he was a rare water ability user, so he was not surprised that he
would be chosen. After all, water irrigation is essential for plant cultivation.

The two young men in the same car with Wang Sen supported an older man in
his sixties and introduced themselves to Wang Sen with a smile. “My name is
Zhang Yonglin, and this is my brother Zhang Yongmu. I have an earth-based
ability. We brought our father to join this base; I heard that the owner of this
base is very kind and does not reject ability users bringing their families with
them.”

Wang Sen did not have the stance of an ability user. He glanced at the old man
who was weak but obviously in good spirits and said to the two young men in
surprise, “You two brothers are quite good to have taken care of this old man so
well in this environment.”
“You flatter us, father is still in good health, and we have met many good people
before……”

The younger brother was exchanging pleasantries with Wang Sen. The older
brother, Zhang Yongmu, took advantage of it to examine the base in front of
him. There seemed to be a strange flicker of energy in his eyes, allowing him to
penetrate the extremely thick walls and see directly into the base’s interior.

Zhang Yongmu was surprised. It can be said that this group of newcomers
entering the base were all astonished.

This base is relatively small, and there are few people. However, even if it is just
a regular field and although it is not large, the green color can make people cry.

After all, with these plants, you can say that there is hope.

Some plant ability users were walking through the fields, occasionally removing
some plants that had mutated in the growth process. These ability users no
longer carry just the end-of-the-world decadence on their faces but have bright
eyes and smiles on their faces, as if they have a head start on life.

Seeing these hydrated plants in person, the entire car was in a commotion.

The car stopped, and a woman came out from inside the base and spoke to the
person leading the group.

Chen Min glanced at the newcomers poking their heads out of the car and asked
Ding Shiang, “How many people did you bring this time? What are the power
levels?”

“There are seven ability users, all under level four, and three ordinary people
who are family members. This time, it is hard for you.” Ding Shiang wiped his
sweat and said towards Chen Min.
“It’s okay.” Chen Min shook his head towards him.

Every time a newcomer enters the base, Chen Min has to give them a
psychological hint silently. This psychological hint only makes them loyal to the
base, not “loyal to Qing Yun” that Ding Shiang accepted at the time because
Sheng Feng will not give these later entrants the opportunity to come into
contact with Qing Yun.

After all, there are many people, and Sheng Feng does not dare to risk anything.

In just three months, Chen Min and the others have advanced in their abilities
several times with Sheng Feng’s help. Especially Ding Shiang and Li Ye, who
often use their powers. Their abilities have already reached level seven.
Although their advancement has slowed down now, they were already an
existence capable of crushing most people in the last days.

Chen Min’s psychic ability was practiced on some animals and has also advanced
to level six.

Now Ding Shiang and Chen Min cooperate and have been able to plant a
psychological hint to the people present silently.

However, the moment Chen Min’s psychic power was unleashed, the two Zhang
brothers and the old man’s eyes suddenly changed, and an energy shield quietly
opened, resisting Chen Min’s psychic ability.

Not noticing anything wrong, Chen Min said to Ding Shiang, “You should go back
first if you’re tired, I’ll take these newcomers and introduce them.”

Chen Min took these newcomers around the base, and at the same time,
introduced their work and compensation: “Your abilities should be earth, water,
plants and so on. Your work on a regular basis is to take care of these plants,
and someone will take care of you. You will be paid according to your workload,
including water and food, and those who perform well can get the opportunity to
get the captain to guide your supernatural abilities.”

Hearing Chen Min’s words, these seven people suddenly gasped. They were
initially surprised to see Ding Shiang’s power level, and when they saw Chen Min,
this surprise became confusion. Why are the psychic power levels of this base so
high?

It turns out that someone is guiding them!

Chen Min calmly looked at these people with excitement on their faces. These
people still need to be observed, and the dishonest ones will soon disappear
without a trace. Chen Min and Ding Shiang already regard this base as their own
home, and they absolutely will not allow any assholes to destroy it.

Continuing to walk in the base, Chen Min looked up to see a figure and
immediately frowned. Her face was serious, but a trace of helplessness flashed
in his eyes.

She reached out her hand to stop the people behind her: “You guys stay here
first.”

And then Chen Min quickly walked forward.

Wang Sen couldn’t help but look ahead. What did this female psychic see that
she was walking so hurriedly?

As soon as he looked over, Wang Sen froze.

It was a dense meadow with two people sitting on the grass. What caught Wang
Sen’s eye was the youth sitting on the grass and building up blocks because he
was just too clean.
The small leather shoes on his feet were polished, and his body was covered
with a British style three-piece suit. He had a plush beige knitted vest without
any stains and even had a bow tie on his neck.

He was simply like a noble little prince.

Looking at this scene, Wang Sen almost forgot that this is the end times.

Because in the last days, no one can live so clean.

However, the man sitting next to the youth emitted this aura that made Wang
Sen fearful, Wang Sen had never seen such a powerful psychic. Even from such
a distance, the man’s breath is too unfathomable, still making Wang Sen’s heart
tremble, feeling like he is facing a terrifying beast.

The young man on the grass was seriously building blocks. He managed to reach
the high point and was one step away from success when the man next to him
stretched out his fingers mischievously and flicked them. The blocks fell to the
ground with a “pop”.

The youth was obviously angry. He childishly slapped off the man’s hand, tilted
his face, and said something accusingly.

The distance is too far for Wang Sen to hear the conversation between the two.
He only saw the man laugh happily, holding the youth’s waist into his arms and
laughing.

“Why is your temper getting bigger and bigger, huh?” Sheng Feng’s stubbled
chin rubbed against the child’s face.

Qing Xiaoyun angrily slapped his shoulder: “You knocked it down again, you go
away, don’t want you!”
“You have been playing all morning, are you not tired? Let’s go eat?” Sheng
Feng especially likes the way the child throws a tantrum.

Slowly, Sheng Feng could see the transformation of Qing Xiaoyun. He was no
longer as well behaved as before to the point of making people heartbroken. He
would also be naughty, act spoiled, and be angry and wilful like an ordinary child.

In contrast, when the adult Qing Yun appeared, his temperament was becoming
calmer. If Qing Yun was like a wounded beast before, the current Qing Yun is
strong and calm, ultimately making it impossible to find the slightest flaw.

“Don’t go back, Da Huang has gone to catch rabbits for me.” [ T/N: Big Yellow ]

Seeing the child again unwilling to eat obediently, Sheng Feng sighed helplessly.

Chen Min walked over there and interrupted the playfulness of the two: “Captain,
the new batch of aliens are here outside, do you want to……take Xiao Yun back
first?”

Even though Chen Min now knows that Qing Yun is unique, the way she looked
at Sheng Feng would always imply that she was looking at a beast dressed as a
man.

But, because Qing Yun is not yet able to control the transition between the two
states, the most intimate contact between Sheng Feng and Qing Yun was just a
kiss.

“Don’t go back.” Qing Xiaoyun looked unhappy.

Just as his words fell, he heard a faint roar of a tiger. A large, splendid tiger
crossed over to Wang Sen and their group and ran towards Qing Xiaoyun with a
rabbit in its mouth.
Running onto the lawn, the tiger dropped the still alive rabbit from its mouth,
rolled over, and made an inviting gesture.

Wang Sen and the others were astonished because this tiger was also a mutated
animal that looked fierce, but they didn’t expect it to be as docile as a cat in
front of the youth.

Qing Xiaoyun immediately broke away from Sheng Feng’s embrace.

Watching Qing Xiaoyun playing ball with the tiger and pigeon, a trace of doting
flashed in Sheng Feng’s eyes. He turned his head to instruct Chen Min: “Take
them away first. He will probably play for a while longer.”

Chen Min quickly took the group away. Wang Sen couldn’t help but glance back
again. The young man, who was out of place in the whole apocalyptic world, was
happily bathing the tiger lying on the ground.

A bubbling stream of water emerged from the youth’s palm, which was crystal
clear under the reflection of sunlight.

Wang Sen, who was originally proud of his water powers, was filled with disbelief.
Is the water in this base already so worthless? How could they even bathe a
tiger?

Zhang Yongmu, who had been quiet in the group, looked stealthily behind him
and then turned to the old man beside him and said, “Professor, I saw it clearly,
and it is indeed Experiment No. 3.”

At this time, Sheng Feng, who was not far away, suddenly felt something was
wrong. He immediately stood up and said towards Qing Xiaoyun: “Qing Xiaoyun,
come here, come to my side.”
The person was taken into his arms, and only then did Sheng Feng feel slightly
at ease.

His eyes darkened as he looked at the newly arrived ability users. There is
something wrong here, this group. None of them can stay.

But before Sheng Feng could do anything, three people who had determined
Qing Yun’s identity approached him on their own that afternoon.

In the humble parlour, Sheng Feng and Chen Min were there.

Sheng Feng looked at these three people, and his cold eyes were like looking at
three corpses: “What are your origins, and what do you want to do by getting
into my base?”

These three people did not care about Sheng Feng’s hostility, in their opinion, as
long as they told the value of the No. 3 experimental body, whoever in this
world would obediently hand him over.

“The three of us are from the Capital Experimental Base, and this is the most
reputable Professor Wu in the base.” Zhang Yonglin, with a formal face,
introduced towards Sheng Feng. They also pulled out Sheng Feng and Qing
Yun’s information from Lu Changfeng and wasted a lot of effort to find the
person.

“The young man on the grass yesterday was an experimental subject that
escaped from our laboratory, and we are here to bring him back this time.”

“Experimental subject?” Sheng Feng’s eyes suddenly darkened, and these words
spat out from his teeth with a chilling aura.

Chen Min and the others were also very shocked, not expecting Qing Yun to be
from this background.
“Scram!” Sheng Feng’s already level ten ability was released without hesitation.

The child does not often mention his past, only revealing a little in his ramblings,
making Sheng Feng distressed. But Sheng Feng did not expect that Qing Yun
turned out to be from a laboratory, treated like a white mouse indifferently with
high-sounding reasons.

The three immediately opened the energy shield developed by the laboratory to
suppress the ability. However, even after blocking Sheng Feng’s attack, they still
felt tremors in their internal organs.

Professor Wu finally spoke up, and he hurriedly explained to Sheng Feng: “You
should also notice the special nature of No. 3, his ability to change anything in
the outside world. Suppose his brain field is completely stimulated and given
enough psychological hints, plus some stimulation devices. In that case, he can
be completely induced to use his ability to destroy the zombie virus, and even
restore the whole world as before!”

“Your laboratory spends its days doing these whimsical experiments with human
lives? Instead of researching a vaccine for the zombie virus and how to make
human evolution prevail, you are thinking of throwing the responsibility of
saving the world on a child?”

Sheng Feng looked at these three men who still had arrogance on their faces,
and his eyes turned red. He had long heard of the capital’s laboratory. He knew
that they began to do human experiments after the end of the world. Still, he
did not expect the laboratory to have such dumb-headed people.

“The virus vaccine development is extremely slow, and the human race can’t
hold out any longer! Your base is in good condition, but the outside world is
already dead, the human race is already on the verge of extinction, we had to
take a shortcut!”

Zhang Yongmu and the others spoke with righteousness.

Sheng Feng and the others knew that these people were telling the truth.

This base is the perfect home that Sheng Feng built for Qing Yun. Sheng Feng
only showed Qing Yun the best side, but every night the base will have ability
users die silently and become a zombie because of the invasion of the virus.

Ding Shiang and others, who are responsible for cleaning up the zombies every
day, are even more aware that abilities are no longer a powerful protective
shield.

Humans are evolving, and so is the virus.

Even if Sheng Feng gave Qing Yun the perfect protection, the result would just
be……the child would be the last human in this world, and he would face the
extinction of the entire human race alone.

Sheng Feng’s eyes turned red. He could hardly imagine if there would really be
such a day……

“He is the only one who can save this world.” Professor Wu’s words dropped to
the ground.

The room was silent, Chen Min closed his eyes full of sorrow, and her inner
struggle was revealed.

“If……according to the method you said, Xiao Yun……what will happen to him?”

Finally, someone’s hesitant voice rang out, Sheng Feng’s gaze immediately
pierced like a sharp sword.
“In the end, we will use radiation to carry his ability to spread to the whole world,
so the death or survival of the experimental subject cannot be guaranteed.”
Professor Wu pushed his glasses, and his tone did not fluctuate.

Zhang Yongmu also followed and added: “Experiment No. 3 is an artificial

human born in the laboratory. Using the life of an experiment to save the entire
world, this does not need to be weighed at all.”

“Shut up!” Sheng Feng’s hoarse roar rang out as he fiercely squeezed Zhang
Yongmu’s neck like a beast struggling on the verge of death.

Sheng Feng’s eyes were flushed with red, and it seemed that there was a
thought in his mind that didn’t belong to him. It wanted to control his mind,
control his body, and push him to hand Qing Yun over to save the world and
carry the name of the savior.

Finally, Sheng Feng’s flickering eyes became firm. His dark pupils did not reflect
any light at all, and he rasped out, “I would rather……this be the end of
humanity, the end of all living beings, than just the end of him alone!”
Chapter 61

With that, Sheng Feng’s level 10 ability was unleashed again. It went to destroy
the energy shield around the three people.

At this time, the sound of slipping on slippers suddenly came from the room, and
Qing Xiaoyun, who had woken up from his nap, stepped out with his big fluffy
slippers.

He was still rubbing his eyes and didn’t notice the strangers in the room. He
dazedly jumped into Sheng Feng’s arms: “Sheng Feng, Sheng Feng, I’m
hungry……”

Being pounced by the soft Qing Xiaoyun, Sheng Feng’s ability was interrupted.

The three terrified men took advantage of this momentary gap to immediately
escape through the window. While the other five people in the house all looked
away, and no one made a move to stop Professor Wu and the others.

Zhang Yonglin dashed out of Sheng Feng’s range with his earth ability. On the
other hand, Zhang Yongmu was one step slower, and he released a message to
the entire base: “The key to ending the end times lies in Qing Yun! Hand him
over, and everyone will be saved. Otherwise, everyone will die, and you too,
Sheng Feng……”

Before he could finish his threats to Sheng Feng, his whole body suddenly
twisted. Then his body abruptly burst apart, splattering flesh and blood all over
the place.

Professor Wu and Zhang Yonglin, who were already almost running out of the
base, also spat out a mouthful of blood. Zhang Yonglin blocked Sheng Feng’s
powers for Professor Wu and managed to hand Professor Wu over to the people
who had been waiting outside to pick him up.
Sheng Feng covered Qing Xiaoyun’s eyes, and his chin rubbed the child’s face
soothingly. He coldly swept over everyone in the base who looked terrified, all of
whom stared in disbelief at his side, at the child in his arms.

The home he made for the child is broken.

Qing Xiaoyun was startled awake by Zhang Yongmu’s voice. He tugged at Sheng
Feng’s hand covering his eyes and asked with uncertainty, “What did he say?
What did he say would happen to you too?”

“Does it mean you’ll die too? What is death?” The child suddenly became
agitated and struggled in Sheng Feng’s arms.

He did not know that the person who spoke earlier had turned into a pile of
broken flesh and even asked anxiously toward the window, “What are you
talking about? What will happen to Sheng Feng?”

No one dared to answer the child’s question.

Only Sheng Feng, with a hoarse voice, comforted Qing Xiaoyun: “It’s okay, I’m
fine, he’s talking nonsense.”

“Really?” Qing Xiaoyun asked with some doubt.

“Yes.” Sheng Feng kissed his forehead again and covered his eyes to bring him
inside the house, “Hungry, right? I’ll take you to eat. I told you to come back
earlier to eat, but you didn’t. Look, you’re hungry now…….”

Watching Sheng Feng take Qing Yun into the house, the whole base remained
quiet. Zhang Yongmu’s words before he died were deeply rooted in the hearts of
these people suffering from the end of the world, and some emotions were
quietly brewing.
The next day, Chen Min discovered that Sheng Feng and Qing Yun had
disappeared. They had abandoned the base that they worked so hard to build
and left.

Chen Min gathered the toys left behind by Qing Xiaoyun, looking at the tiger
sitting nicely by Qing Yun’s bed and the pigeon flying around on the roof. They
waited for Qing Xiaoyun’s return as usual.

But Chen Min knew that they would never come back here again.

As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the small pink flowers already blooming
on the windowsill. Looking at the familiar pattern on the flower pot, Chen Min
thought of the one in her room again. She had eaten the ripe berries, and the
remaining of the plant had withered, leaving only a flowerpot that she had
carefully kept.

Chen Min finally couldn’t help crying out loud with her hoarse voice, almost
screaming out all of her inner struggles.

Go, go, go as far as you can.

“Sheng Feng, where are we going?” Qing Xiaoyun sat in the car and looked at
Sheng Feng, who was driving seriously, “Aren’t we taking Chen Min and the
others with us? There is also Pigeon and Da Huang.”

“They are behind and will follow soon.” Sheng Feng gently coaxed the child.

“Oh.” Qing Xiaoyun lowered his head and played with his fingers. He already
sensed that something was wrong. He turned his head to look out the window,
and scattered zombies walked past the road. He remembered that such ugly
things would not appear in the sun in the past, but now it seemed different.

Sheng Feng took Qing Xiaoyun and fled. He didn’t trust anyone.
The laboratory has now expended immense manpower and resources to spread
the news of Qing Yun in this era when the communication network has been
destroyed.

So the journey was challenging. Sheng Feng had to guard against zombies,
mutant animals, and against the ability users who flocked to him.

These people were crazed to catch Qing Yun and send him to the lab.

Sheng Feng took Qing Yun to the mountains where no one lived, and along the
way, he had changed several cars, all of which he had stolen.

Exposing his tyrannical and cruel side to the child’s eyes, letting him out of that
perfect house, and having him see the most insane and disorderly face of the
world, Sheng Feng felt extremely uncomfortable.

But what made him feel even more uncomfortable was that even though his
hands were covered in blood, the child’s eyes were still full of attachment to him.

In the past two days, Sheng Feng rushed frantically. Apart from the initial
inquiry, the child became increasingly quiet, and the adult Qing Yun did not
appear.

When it came to the rough mountain road, Sheng Feng abandoned the car, he
turned his back on the child and squatted: “Come, the road is difficult to walk,
come on my back.”

Qing Xiaoyun obediently embraced Sheng Feng’s back and did not mind that he
was covered with blood and dirt.
Sheng Feng carried him on his back and walked fast, while Qing Xiaoyun once
again spoke out, “Sheng Feng……didn’t someone want me before? What do they
want me to do?”

Sheng Feng’s footsteps paused, and his voice was dry as he replied, “Nothing.”

“Then should we ask them again?” The child kept asking this question.

However, Sheng Feng, who had always doted on Qing Xiaoyun, replied very
firmly this time: “No.”

“But……but I don’t want……I don’t want you to die……” Hot tears fell on Sheng
Feng’s neck. Sheng Feng’s heart was aching, he wanted to turn back to comfort
the child crying on his back, but he felt weak and collapsed on the ground.

When he fell to the ground, he even took into account the person on his back did
not let him hit the ground.

“I don’t want you to die……” Qing Xiaoyun tears fell like disconnected beads.
These days, he suddenly understood the meaning of “death”.

He slowly got up from Sheng Feng and looked fondly at Sheng Feng, who had
fallen to the ground. Then, he turned around and walked back.

Sheng Feng’s fainting was the first time Qing Xiaoyun consciously used his
power.

Qing Xiaoyun darted back along the way he came. He stopped a man and shyly
but firmly said, “I’m Qing Yun, and I want to go to the laboratory. Can you take
me there?”

No one would refuse this request.

The people who found Qing Xiaoyun rushed madly. One group of people after
another relayed him to the laboratory in the capital.

And Sheng Feng, who had fainted, woke up slowly. He subconsciously searched
for the youth’s figure but found no one around.

“Qing Yun! Qing Xiaoyun! Where are you? Answer me!” Sheng Feng frantically
searched around as if he had lost the most important thing in his life. His entire
self was at a loss.

There was no sign of Qing Yun anywhere. Sheng Feng sat on the ground in
despair, desperately trying to recall the traces of what happened before he
fainted. Then, he remembered the child saying to him that he didn’t want him to
die.

“Laboratory……Laboratory…… ” Sheng Feng stood up abruptly and ran down the

mountain.

After three days of moving around, Qing Xiaoyun was finally sent to the lab.

The old Professor Wu was almost ecstatic when he saw him. Sheng Feng’s
powers had caused a lot of damage to his body, and initially, he thought he had
no chance of seeing the end times pass.

Qing Xiaoyun stood there obediently. The long journey had made him untidy.
After all, these people would not take extreme care of him like Sheng Feng did.

But Qing Xiaoyun still waved his hand politely and thanked the ability user who
sent him over, “Thank you, goodbye.”

Listening to the child’s soft and peaceful voice, the tired ability user suddenly
covered his face and fled, not daring to look at the child’s clear gaze.
“I want to save Sheng Feng. What do I need to do?” Recognizing that the
Professor Wu in front of him happened to be the person who appeared that day,
Qing Xiaoyun twiddled his fingers and asked him.

Qing Yun’s state made Professor Wu freeze. When they met, he felt something
was wrong, and only now did he realize that Experiment No. 3 was like a child
with every move.

With clear childlike eyes, Professor Wu was at a loss for words. He can cold-
heartedly do experiments on the artificial humans cultivated in the laboratory
and capture some people like Lu Changfeng who have no ability to live and can
not survive in the end times to “make the most use of them”.

But he, who has a grandson, could not turn a blind eye to such a pair of childish
eyes.

“You……” Professor Wu was just about to ask but found that the person’s eyes in
front of him changed. The childishness faded away and became cold and
arrogant.

“You can activate the relevant devices now. Time is running out.” The one who
spoke was Qing Yun. While speaking, he wiped away the blood seeping out of
the corner of his mouth as if nothing was wrong.

He was about to break away from this world.

He did not appear in these two days because Sheng Feng’s choice directly
allowed him to complete this world’s mission. Because Sheng Feng, who is the
protagonist, gave up the intention of saving the world, completely breaking the
route of the protagonist of this world.

Because of the completion of the mission, this world’s energy frantically poured
into Qing Yun’s body, making his ability more powerful while his body was more
fragile. Even though his soul scrambled to repair this body, it couldn’t catch up
with the destruction of his unbelievable ability.

Even when Sheng Feng, as the main character, received Qing Yun’s powers, his
body also began to decay. But at that time, Sheng Feng did not hesitate and
immediately agreed to Professor Wu’s request to save the world.

Qing Yun smiled bitterly. This man passed his devious test and gave the most
satisfying answer. Still, he did not have the opportunity to accompany this man
in this world.

“This……” Professor Wu hesitated, “your powers still need to be tested and

adjusted before you can open the final radiation device.”

“Moreover, we have to evacuate the crowd. Otherwise, the radiation will damage
the people in the base too much.”

Before he could finish, he saw Qing Yun’s hand pointing, and a beaker next to
him suddenly disappeared and then was restored as before.

“No need to test.” Qing Yun said indifferently, “You don’t have much time left.”

Professor Wu was stunned as he saw the corners of Qing Yun’s mouth hooked
into a smile that carried a hint of self-deprecation and indefinable happiness.
“You guys can’t stop Sheng Feng.”

Qing Yun’s words silenced all those present. Sheng Feng’s ability was indeed
very powerful. He destroyed dozens of energy shields that day and also killed
the two strongest assistants around Professor Wu. He even managed to hide
Qing Yun from the pursuit of people throughout the world.

Without hesitation, Professor Wu instructed the people behind him, “Open the
radiation tower immediately.”
He said to Qing Yun, “We will send you up. This is the information about the
zombie virus. You should understand it and try to kill the zombie virus
completely this time.”

Qing Yun didn’t take the information handed to him by Professor Wu. He didn’t
just want to make this virus disappear; he wanted to transform this world
entirely.

“The radiation tower will open soon. Please evacuate all personnel as soon as
possible. Please evacuate all personnel as soon as possible.”

This alarm sounded throughout the capital, and there was even more panic in
the experimental base.

Qing Yun was sent up, the radiation tower had opened, and the people inside the
base were also evacuating. The last group to leave were the hundreds of staff in
the laboratory.

As Professor Wu was being assisted to go outside, he saw a figure moving

against the crowd.

A man with stubble and a greenish-black color under his eyes pushed his way in
frantically. Every now and then, he grabbed someone around him and asked,
“Where is Qing Yun? Where have you taken Qing Yun?”

“Tell me where he is!”

When someone told him that the radiation tower had been opened and that he
should evacuate, he drifted away as if he hadn’t heard it.

Others fled from the radiation tower at the center of the base while he looked at
it as if it was his home.
He ignored the others and walked in against the crowd. He even used his ability
to set aside the obstruction in front of him.

“The radiation tower has been opened. This child can no longer be saved……,”
Professor Wu subconsciously blocked the man who squeezed past him.

However, the man was unmoved. His eyes were fixed on the tall tower inside the
base, and he marched towards it.

This man is Sheng Feng.

Qing Yun stood on the tip of the tower, and the burst of radiation caused his
body to decay rapidly. He didn’t hesitate and activated his ability.

Perhaps this was the best way for him to get out of this world. He didn’t want
the man to face his death directly.

Although he appeared with a different face in each world, this man was the same
soul, and the one with the deepest roots in his heart was Sheng Feng.

Similarly, even if Qing Yun doesn’t want to admit it, the world that made him the
happiest and most involved was this crumbling apocalyptic world.

Therefore, Qing Yun is willing to give this world a good ending as he departs.

Qing Yun finally used his powerful soul to unreservedly activate this godlike
ability. A vast circle of light visible to the naked eye sprouted from the tip of the
tower and quickly spread to the entire world.

However, Qing Yun inadvertently glanced down and saw a human figure.
A distraught man climbed up this tall tower little by little with his hands and feet.

The powerful radiation made him vomit blood out of his mouth, but the man did
not stop. He turned his head to look at the youth at the top of the tower and
cried out: “Qing Yun! Qing Xiaoyun!”

He whimpered in pain: “Don’t go, please don’t go, don’t leave me!”

Qing Yun felt flustered for the first time.

He didn’t want this man to see his miserable state after his death. To him, this
was just one world, and after the farewell, he had the next and the next.

But for this man with no memory of them, it was a heartbreaking parting of life
to death.

Qing Yun’s eyes turned red as he quietly looked at this man who kept calling his
name and finally took him into his heart completely.

“You have to take a good look at the world I left you. Every flower and every
plant is my blessing to you.”

“It’s……my……love for you.”

This was Qing Yun’s first confession.

Everyone in this world tilted their heads and looked at the vast and bright circle
of light sweeping past them.

They suddenly felt a kind of powerful control that seemed like a giant hand
grasped the pulse of the entire world and made time stop at this instant.
It was then as if a playful child appeared, holding a crayon and coloring this gray
world, filling it with the most brilliant colors.

The sky is blue and crystal clear.

The grass turned green. The grass that mutated into black and purple suddenly
faded from their fierce appearance, becoming vibrant and lush green.

Trees, flowers, animals, and people all returned to their original appearance
under the power of love.

The force was like the sweetest confession of a lover and like a child whispering
his thanks.

Chen Min, who was staying inside, suddenly ran out. A familiar feeling enveloped
her whole body, reminding her instantly of that night when the child held up the
flower pot with a pair of bright eyes and said to her, “For Chen Min.”

Chen Min trembled as she reached out and embraced the circle of light coming
toward her, “Thank you, thank you.”

On the tower, Sheng Feng did not stop climbing. He vomited a mouthful of blood
but then felt a gentle force brush over his body, constantly repairing the damage
he had suffered.

Sheng Feng suddenly burst into tears: “I don’t want the whole world, what I
want is you, all I want is you……”

He climbed up slowly, trying hard to get closer to the person at the top of the
tower.
The whole world felt this strong and gentle power, which repaired all beings and
cured the world’s diseases.

The zombie virus disappeared without a trace, and the corpses walking on the
street reverted to their human appearance. Although they were dead, they
looked at peace.

At the same time, the abilities that brought about the killings and disputes
disappeared. The law of the jungle of the weak and the strong disappeared, and
people’s lives became equal again.

The disappearance of the powers did not disappoint the people, and after they
were stunned, they were delighted.

They looked at the grass, trees, and the living creatures that had changed back
to their lovely appearance. Then, at the vibrant fields and the golden crops of
wheat, and felt only a sense of salvation in their hearts.

The year-long apocalypse seemed to be just a nightmare in this world.

Some people embraced together in song and dance, while others saw the bodies
of their loved ones on the roadside and broke down in tears.

Lu Changfeng walked on the road in a trance. Although the lab had cured the
damage to his brain, it had not fully recovered, sometimes good and sometimes
bad.

He mumbled, ” My heart’s desire……heart……wants……”

Lu Changfeng was suddenly a little puzzled. Why does he want to get his heart’s
desire to come true? He seemed to be trying to change something back…… What
is it?
This matter seemed extremely important, and Lu Changfeng, who could not
think of it, was anxious.

Suddenly, a click was heard as the space ability he absorbed ceased to work,
and the space shattered.

A sudden opening opened from his head, and all kinds of mess fell.

This scene was not uncommon in the streets, with a number of space users
having their spaces shattered and their contents scattered all over the place,
causing people to laugh in good faith.

However, what fell out of Lu Changfeng’s space was a zombie.

After this zombie came out, it slowly changed its appearance. The corruption on
its body faded and finally became the appearance of a kind woman.

She had her eyes closed and was lying peacefully.

Lu Changfeng stared blankly at the woman on the ground who seemed to be

asleep, and suddenly howled: “Mom!”

This energy fluctuation lasted for a day and a night long.

The energy of the radiation tower is finally released.

Sheng Feng was about to climb to the top of the tower when he suddenly caught
a glimpse of a figure falling like a feather in the darkness. Sheng Feng
subconsciously pounced over and swept the unconscious young man into his
arms.
The two slowly fell from a height of hundreds of meters. Sheng Feng wrapped
the young man tightly in his arms and lowered his head to kiss his forehead
devoutly.

Embracing this young man in his arms again, even in the face of death Sheng
Feng was not afraid. There was only the joy of getting what he wanted in his
heart.
Chapter 62 Choice (Fanwai)

Thus, the end of the world has passed. Although the post-disaster reconstruction
was challenging, everyone was happy.

Chen Min started a nursery to help take care of these small children whose
parents were very busy.

One day, a child pointed to a picture she had posted on the wall and asked,
“Sister Chen Min, who is this?”

“I know!” Another child ran over with enthusiasm, looking reverently at the
picture of the young man with the pure eyes, “My mom worked in the lab, and
she told me that this is the man who saved us!”

“That’s right!”

“I’ve heard that too.”

The group of children chattered about it. Chen Min looked at the photo of the
young man and showed a nostalgic smile. It was not easy to keep this photo in
the end times.

But this seems to be the only trace of the youth’s existence.

No, Chen Min denied her thoughts. Every blade of grass in this world and
everything else now is proof of his existence.

Chen Min looked at the fruit planted on the windowsill. The red-colored fruit was
extremely lovely.
Two years have passed since the end of the world, and fruits are no longer rare,
but Chen Min has never again tasted the same sweet taste as the berries the
child gave her.

After watching the parents pick up the children, new visitors arrived on Chen
Min’s side in the evening.

It was Ding Shiang and the others.

Chen Min handed over the tea: “Any news?”

The four men seized the opportunity in the post-disaster reconstruction and are
now all in high positions. However, these four men are jointly expending human
and material resources to look for two people in the whole world.

Every week, they take time out of their busy schedules to look for them
personally, and not to mention the times when they get some ambiguous
information.

The memory of the end times was very dark and gray. However, because of this,
that colorful memory was deeply implanted in the hearts of these people, so
they still remember it from time to time after it ended. It was impossible to
forget.

At the end of the end times, the Capital Laboratory wanted to take power and
take all the credit for the passing of the end times. But the elderly Professor Wu
took the liberty of making a statement, claiming that the salvation received
throughout the end times came from a child.

Professor Wu told the surviving world that one person alone shouldered the
responsibility of the entire world. Even he, the head of the experiment, now
questions whether it was really right to entrust all the burdens of humanity to a
person whose mind was just a child.
At the same time, Professor Wu also explained that there was no evidence of
Sheng Feng and Qing Yun’s death found around the radiation tower. Then, he
released Qing Yun’s personal data and described his mental state, calling on
everyone to look for them.

Even in the mountains, a pigeon and a tiger were unconsciously searching,

pursuing that vague impression in their minds.

Sheng Feng, who did not know anything about these things or knew but did not
want to pay attention to them, walked home with two rabbits. As he walked, he
instructed behind him, “Come here now, didn’t you say you were hungry?”

The child behind him, who was squatting on the ground watching the ants move,
reluctantly stood up and jumped towards Sheng Feng: “Let’s not eat the rabbits,
okay?”

“Okay.” Sheng Feng smiled and stroked the child’s head, “We’ll keep it if you
don’t want to eat it.”

Luckily, they survived.

Within these two years, the adult Qing Yun has never appeared again. But
Sheng Feng was already grateful.

The two continued to walk forward. What entered their sight was a small
farmhouse, which was self-sufficient in growing some grains and vegetables.
There were two jujube trees next to it that were transplanted over by Sheng
Feng.

Even though the end of the world has passed, Sheng Feng still has hostility
towards other people. He always feels that these people want to steal Qing Yun
away from him.
So even though he heard the outside world looking for them, Sheng Feng took
the child deeper and deeper into no man’s land.

The two live an undisturbed life, but they can not always be isolated from the
world. There are still some homes not far away, but they do not have much
contact with the outside world.

Sheng Feng started cooking, and Qing Xiaoyun was at his side making a mess.

He smiled dotingly and raised his hand to wipe the child’s face: “Go aside to play
and see if the little frog you raised is still there.”

Qing Xiaoyun finally gave up helping him cook and ran out to play with a frog.

Sheng Feng had cleared this area, so he wasn’t afraid of any danger, but he still
shouted uneasily, “Don’t chase dragonflies into the river, okay?”

Hearing the child’s promise, Sheng Feng then turned his head.

He was handling the ingredients when he suddenly sighed. Two years have
passed since the end of the world, and most people have forgotten about it, but
Sheng Feng still feels his soul tremble when he thought about the scene two
years ago.

It was a pain that he could not erase from his heart.

In the evening, when Qing Xiaoyun came back for dinner, Sheng Feng keenly
felt that the child’s mood was a bit low, so he could not help but take the person
into his arms and ask him carefully: “What’s wrong? What happened this
afternoon?”
The child flattened his mouth without speaking, but in the end, he could not hold
back his thoughts and said, “Today, I met Sister Erhua from next door by the
river. She asked me if you were my father, and then I replied that you were not.
But then she said I am so old and still clinging to you……”

“Said I……” the child racked his brain before he figured out that phrase, “said I
was shameless?”

Sheng Feng’s face instantly became grim. Qing Yun is his opposite balance, so
he cannot bear any malice directed towards the youth, even for the slightest bit.

“It’s okay. I won’t let her come over in the future.” He kissed the child’s cheek.

Qing Xiaoyun then became happy. That sister would always come over to talk to
Sheng Feng and would also glare at himself, which he had long hated.

After eating dinner, the two started watching TV.

Sheng Feng could not bear to let the child be really isolated from the world, so
he spent a lot of effort installing the antenna to get such a thing.

A commercial began to play on TV, where a child of about five years old saw his
father in front of the kindergarten and happily kissed him on the cheek.

Sheng Feng suddenly felt a warm feeling on his face as the child’s soft lips
pressed against his face.

Sheng Feng turned his head in surprise. Qing Xiaoyun’s gaze was purely childish,
with only a light look of adoration in his eyes.

Two years, two years of loneliness. The pain that Sheng Feng suppressed at the
bottom of his heart suddenly surged up, and a trace of sorrow flashed in his
eyes. His eyes turned red, and he immediately covered his face and walked out
of the room.

Qing Xiaoyun turned his head to the side and looked with uncertainty at the man
who had suddenly become sad.

Sheng Feng squatted in the courtyard to smoke.

He misses Qing Yun, and his heart is torn apart by his thoughts. Even if the five-
year-old Qing Xiaoyun can give Sheng Feng comfort, it could not contain his
thoughts. Because Qing Xiaoyun was like someone had pressed the pause button
on him, his mind will always be five years old and will not grow a bit with time.

He will never know the emotions of adults, and Sheng Feng does not want to let
his eyes stained with other colors.

However, that proud and powerful youth still haunts him.

Sometimes, Sheng Feng was even in a trance. Could it be that Qing Yun was just
a figment of his imagination? Does the adult him really exist?

After finishing a cigarette, Sheng Feng was about to light another one when he
suddenly heard the voice of the youth calling him from inside the house: “Hey,
get water, I want to wash my feet!”

Sheng Feng was stunned and dropped his cigarette and lighter on the ground.

He turned his head inch by inch and looked into the house.

On the windowsill, the young man stood there looking at him. The emotions in
his eyes were full of might and arrogance, but also a bit of tenderness and
concern, which made Sheng Feng feel mesmerized.
“I’m calling you, can’t you hear me?” The young man raised his chin toward him,
and his tone became worse. But those eyes that blinked at him and the
eyelashes that fluttered like butterfly wings revealed the owner’s discomfort.

Qing Yun looked at that silly man, and his heart also flooded with a little
sourness.

He did not expect that he would be able to remain in this world.

The moment this world returned to normal, a soft and comprehensive power
suddenly poured into Qing Yun’s body from every corner of this world, repairing
his body little by little and saving his life.

It was like a gift from this world.

It was through this power that he and Sheng Feng were able to survive until
today. This body was repaired to the point where Qing Yun was able to unseal
his soul.

Looking at the young man he missed so much at the window, Sheng Feng wiped
the wetness from his eyes and answered in a panic: ” Come……coming!”

This night, the simple wooden bed made by Sheng Feng was “creaking” all night
long.

The next morning, Sheng Feng reached out and touched an empty bed, and he
sat up with a jolt.

He was then relieved to see the figure of the youth in the house.
However, Qing Xiaoyun was rummaging through the house looking for
something. Sheng Feng froze as he watched Qing Xiaoyun. If not for the faint
pain of the scratches on his back, he almost thought last night was just a dream
he had.

“Sheng Feng, Sheng Feng, where is my little frog?” The child saw that he was
awake and immediately ran over to ask him.

Sheng Feng was stunned, then he remembered that last night Qing Yun disliked
the frog’s annoying “croaking”, kicked him out of bed, and told him to throw the
frog away.

At that time, Sheng Feng was in a hurry to think about it carefully. He picked up
the frog’s legs and threw it out. The night passed, and who knows where the
frog went.

Qing Xiaoyun saw him silent, and tears immediately gushed out like a clear
spring: “You must have eaten him!”

Tears flowed down, and Sheng Feng was immediately distressed. He wrapped
him in the blanket and hugged the person to comfort him: “Don’t cry, I’ll catch
another one for you!”

“I want my one!” The child would not let it go.

“Okay, okay, I’ll find it for you, don’t you cry……”

So, in the morning, Sheng Feng fed the child and went to find him the frog,
since the child only wanted the one he raised. Poor Sheng Feng had to find the
one frog from among all the frogs that looked similar.

After searching for most of the day, Sheng Feng returned home carrying the frog.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw the lofty and indifferent youth sitting at
the table. When he saw the frog he was carrying in his hand, the young man’s
face immediately went cold.

Qing Yun snorted and looked at him coldly: “What does this mean? You spent
the night with me last night, but now you treat me like a child? Sheng Feng, you
have no shame!”

“No, no, no!” Seeing Qing Yun again, Sheng Feng’s heart immediately flooded
with joy.

He walked up and wrapped his arms around the youth and was about to kiss him,
but Qing Yun blocked his face with his hand: “Throw this frog out, as far as you
can!”

So Sheng Feng could only run out and put the frog away again.

But when he went back again, he saw Qing Xiaoyun sitting on the door frame,
holding his face and waiting for him. When he saw him returning with empty
hands, his eyes instantly reddened.

“What about the frog you said you’d get me?”

Sheng Feng: “……”

He immediately took the person into his arms and coaxed him well. Sheng Feng
did not see that Qing Yun pulled out a sly smile. Then, Qing Yun wrapped his
arms tightly around him and cursed with a laugh: “Pervert.”

Qing Yun and Sheng Feng stayed in this world for a long time. They traveled
together and saw every corner of this world before they both finally passed away.
Returning once again to the space he created, Qing Yun sat on a couch conjured
by his power and stared at the world in his hands for a long time.

He really did not expect that this world would be like this, that the man would
quietly burrow into his heart through this accident and tug at his heartstrings.

Shortly after, a familiar force came from a particular corner, beating around the
periphery of Qing Yun’s space, seemingly racking its brains to get in.

However, Qing Yun did not let him in. Instead, he frowned and directly blocked
the man back: “Do you have so much energy that you have nowhere else to use
it? Go back to where you came from.”

Qing Yun can vaguely perceive the man’s location. He probably is also repairing
his soul by crossing one world after another. How can he afford such reckless
consumption of energy to find him across the endless space and time?

If he let him in this time, it was possible that this man would develop the bad
habit of coming to him after every world.

This man was cunning as he quietly left a mark in every world he crossed so that
he could find Qing Yun so smoothly.

The energy outside of the space stayed aggrieved for a while and eventually left
with its head hanging down and ears drooping.

“Idiot, we’ll meet in the next world. Can’t you wait for this bit of time?” Qing Yun
lowered his head, hiding the hint of laughter in his eyes. Then, he indulged the
pull of his soul and vanished into the next world.
