Chapter 32 – What should I do? I want to escape!

Chapter 32 – What should I do? I want to escape!

 

Locally, it was afternoon when they arrived at the airport. Xing Zhongwan walked out of the VIP lounge while chewing some gum in his mouth. He also had a large pair of sunglasses on his face. The person who came to pick them up after their flight was a woman in her thirties. The smile on her face was different from the serious Chen Ying. When she saw him, she called out to the young madam enthusiastically. With a dark face, Xing Zhongwan lowered the sleeve of his coat to cover the bracelet on his wrist.

 

Qi Yun was clearly in a good mood and his voice was not as cold when he spoke. Xing Zhongwan raised his head and looked around. Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure. Xing Zhongwan took off his sunglasses and thought he saw wrongly, but he didn’t expect that the man would smile politely to him after being discovered before disappearing into the crowd. Xing Zhongwan took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Zhengzhe, who replied after a while.

 

“Jiangnan is your territory. If you want to pay homage to your mother, it is impossible not to summon the people from over there. It’s better to say hello to them as early as possible. Don’t worry if I’m not in contact with you, your safety will be guaranteed.”

 

Xing Zhongwan shoved the phone into his pocket speechlessly while Qi Yun grabbed his clothes, “Let’s get in the car.” Xing Zhongwan snorted and pushed his wheelchair to the parking lot.

 

The house they lived in was in a small village. It is said that the small village has actually been developed into a private resort. The place was excellent and the facilities were complete. The most important thing was that there was also a specially-equipped small community hospital for Qi Yun’s rehabilitation. Their residence was in the center of the resort and there was a tea garden right outside their door. Xing Zhongwan liked it very much. After carrying and settling Qi Yun down on the bed, Xing Zhongwan opened the window of the room and took a deep breath. Qi Yun was a little tired and asked with half-closed eyes, “Do you like it here?”

 

Xing Zhongwan nodded repeatedly, “Yes, I like it very much. The environment is nice and the most important part is that the original style of the place was retained. How did you find this place?”

 

Qi Yun covered his aching forehead, “I don’t remember what year it was but when I heard that the place where me and my grandma lived together when I was a child was going to be demolished, I bought and rebuilt it. Only the place where we lived was kept as it was. Grandma liked it very much. Now, I’m very glad that I made this decision back then and I’m glad you like it too.”

 

Seeing him covering his forehead, Xing Zhongwan stepped forward and helped him massage it, “You can sleep now. We sat in a plane and car for the whole day today. I’ll call you when it’s time to eat.”

 

The massage Xing Zhongwan gave Qi Yun was very comfortable and he said sleepily, “I want to eat the Dragon Beard Noodles1A variety of noodles from Shandong province in China. Long and thin. you make.”

 

Xing Zhongwan frowned. Yes, you sure know the way to order me around.

 

When Qi Yun fell asleep, Xing Zhongwan went to the tea garden and brought over a bamboo chair to sit on. A long time ago, when his mother was very ill, she would talk intermittently about her childhood days. Xing Zhongwan’s eyes were a little red as his phone rang. Xing Zhongwan took a look around before taking it out.

 

“Master, are you back?” There was an elderly voice on the other end of the phone.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked up at the blue sky, “Yes, Uncle Zhong. I’ll be moving my mother’s grave back to Xing’s house in two days. Please prepare for it.”

 

There was some joy in Uncle Zhong’s voice, “The lady will finally… Oh how happy will she be to be able to finally go home. I will tell the people to prepare. Please pick a day.”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled, “One more thing. I will stay here for a little longer this time. Don’t let anyone follow me. It’s not good if I were to be discovered.”

 

Uncle Zhong disagreed, “It’s better for someone to follow behind. No one else will find out.”

 

Xing Zhongwan felt resigned, “I’m no longer a child.”

 

Uncle Zhong on the other end respectfully said, “Even if you are in the country for only one day, we are still obligated to guarantee your safety. You can be rest assured that we will do it very discreetly and will not hinder the young master from doing things.”

 

Xing Zhongwan knew that he could not persuade this stubborn old housekeeper and gave up.

 

A cool breeze blew by and Xing Zhongwan tightened his jacket. He suddenly felt a little sleepy.

 

At dinner, Qi Yun held the bowl contentedly and ate up the bowl of noodles under Chen Ying’s surprised eyes. Xing Zhongwan chewed a radish stick in his mouth, “Is it delicious?”

 

Qi Yun nodded and wiped his mouth with the small towel on the side, “The craftsmanship is really good.”

 

Xing Zhongwan snorted coldly. You’re eating it so comfortably while my hands are almost stiff from kneading the dough.

 

“In the evening, have a rest. I’m going out for a walk.”

 

Xing Zhongwan got up and Qi Yun was taken aback, “Where are you going?”

 

Xing Zhongwan said, “Going out, of course.” Qi Yun’s face visibly fell, “I’m going too.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was puzzled, “Why are you going too? It’s inconvenient for me to take you.”

 

Qi Yun lowered his head, obviously angry and Xing Zhongwan sat back on the chair again, ” You said you’re weak. What are you going to do if you get sick? I promise I will come back sooner.”

 

Qi Yun didn’t say anything…

 

“I’ll bring you something delicious and fun?”

 

Qi Yun didn’t say anything…

 

“I’ll go out for only two hours…”

 

Qi Yun said nothing.

 

Xing Zhongwan lay on the table with a bitter face, “I’ll take you there, third young master.”

 

Qi Yun raised his head. His eyebrows were curved up. Xing Zhongwan buried his head on the table reluctantly.

 

On the other side, Chen Ying’s jaw almost dropped. This… Young Master Yun… This must be an illusion, I must be dreaming, this was not our Young Master Yun…

 

Qi Yun needed to go upstairs to change his clothes and Xing Zhongwan could only carry the man upstairs without complaint. He then picked out clothes for him to put on before carrying him downstairs and placing him in a wheelchair.

 

Qi Yun touched the collar of the shirt he was wearing and called Chen Ying over.

 

Chen Ying quickly walked over and faced Qi Yun, “Master Yun, what are your orders?”

 

Qi Yun pointed at his clothes, “Does it look good?”

 

Ah!? 

Chen Ying didn’t react for a while. After seeing that Qi Yun was frowning, he quickly said, “You’re dashing.”

 

Qi Yun’s brows stretched, “Wanwan picked it.”

 

That smug look was like saying; Look, the daughter-in-law has good taste.

 

Chen Ying was fed a mouthful of dog food 2That feeling when you’re a single dog and a couple is flexing their love in front of you.for no reason and escorted the two of them out in fear. Turning around, he wiped the sweat off his forehead. The entourage on one side was puzzled, “Secretary Chen, it’s only April. Are you feeling hot?” 

 

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Chen Ying’s face. When has he ever seen Qi Yun like this? It was already not bad that he could still maintain his composure. A hint of worry flashed through his eyes.

 

Xing Zhongwan brought Qi Yun to the night market. The night market was crowded and it was inconvenient for Qi Yun to walk, so Xing Zhongwan didn’t dare to go shopping. Instead, he found a tea shop and sat down. Qi Yun’s bodyguard was far away from them as Qi Yun would not let them follow closely.

 

Xing Zhongwan put a doll adorned with a blue floral fabric into Qi Yun’s hand, “Check this out. It’s very cute and it’s purely handmade. It looks a lot like you.” Qi Yun took the item and gently felt it with his hands. The female doll’s hair was braided and Qi Yun frowned. How is it like me?

 

“You said you wanted to go out, just to come to a night market?”

 

Xing Zhongwan took a sip of tea. “If not? Why did you think I wanted to come out? When you were resting in the afternoon, I asked around and they said that the night market here is very famous, so I wanted to come out and see it. Look, you were so adamant about coming out and I’ve brought you out but you don’t even seem happy.”

 

Qi Yun held the doll in his hand, “When I get better, I’ll come with you again.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned his face away. When you’re better, I’m leaving.

 

“This doll is for you.” Xing Zhongwan grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds as Qi Yun carefully put the doll in his pocket and replied with an ‘ok’.

 

His neck was a little red and Xing Zhongwan wondered, Are you shy? You blush too easily.

 

As he was thinking about it, a girl selling flowers entered the place, looked around and walked towards Xing Zhongwan,

 

“Big brother, don’t you think you should buy some flowers for the pretty sister next to you”

 

Xing Zhongwan held the sunflower seeds in his hand as he looked at the round face of the girl before looking at the unknowing Qi Yun who had a puzzled look, “Is he the pretty sister you’re referring to?” He then pointed a finger at Qi Yun. The girl nodded, “Yes, I have never seen such a beautiful sister before.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh. Qi Yun gradually understood and his face turned a little unsightly.

 

“For the sister that you just referred to, I want all the flowers in your basket. Hahaha” The girl happily accepted the money before hopping away.

 

Xing Zhongwan took the basket of roses and put it on Qi Yun’s lap, “Here, beautiful sister. I’ll give it all to you.”

 

Qi Yun had a sullen face and didn’t speak for a long time.

 

Xing Zhongwan was in a good mood. After being called a girl by Qi Yun for so many days, he finally felt reinvigorated. As he was about to say something funny, the girl who called Qi Yun a sister hopped back, holding a bamboo-woven ring in her hand.

 

She went to Xing Zhongwan and held his hand, “Brother, brother. Mother said your girlfriend is so beautiful, so I will give you a ring. You must both become happy.”

 

Xing Zhongwan almost spit out the sunflower seeds in his mouth and there was a smile in Qi Yun’s eyes as he put a basket of roses on the table. He grabbed one out before speaking in Xing Zhongwan’s direction, “Little brother, we must become happy, hmm?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned and looked at Qi Yun who was holding a rose with a smile. His eyes were unseeing and he looked forward without focus, but his fair skin contrasted with the table of red roses and he looked simply charming. Xing Zhongwan’s head throbbed and he couldn’t think straight because of a bit of bitter-sweetness in his heart.

 

Now, that beautiful fairy-like sister was holding flowers.

 

Back then, when he was young, he had innocently said: Sister, can I marry you when I grow up?

 

Now, the beautiful fairy-like sister: Little brother, we must become happy, hmm?

 

The young man’s face in his memory morphed into the current Qi Yun and Xing Zhongwan stood up suddenly, clutching his aching heart. What should I do? I want to escape!    

 


T/N: Hehe, run you may try. But do you really think he will let you go? Fuhuhu, loved translating this chapter. Perhaps it was the change in scenery. It was something different from the previous chapters, cause they got to go on a light-hearted vacation together.

 

By the way, for this month, Forced into the Deep will be updated twice a week, every Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I’ll be giving out private early-access chapters for those who are keen on donating to my kofi 🙂 If you’re interested, check out the link below!

Chapter 23 – He took a shower and left

Chapter 23 – He took a shower and left

 

The driver turned around and asked, “Where do you want to go?”

 

Jian Luo said to the driver, “Wait a minute.”

 

He turned on the information bracelet and contacted Jiang Jiang urgently. When he was chatting with Jiang Jiang before, Jiang Jiang said that he lived in Dark Star and it was within the inner ring1In China, cities are divided into circles. Those within the more inner layers of the circles (more metropolitan areas) were considered to be more rich than those in the outer rings.. The location was very good and he lived alone.

 

I’m counting on you now, Jiang Jiang!

 

Jian Luo sent him a message: “It’s an emergency. Can you come and pick me up? Something happened.”

 

Jiang Jiang replied quickly: “What’s wrong with you, where are you?”

 

“Tell me a place.” Jian Luo replied, “Where can we meet?”

 

Jiang Jiang over there was also a cheerful person, and quickly set the location, Jian Luo breathed a sigh of relief and reported the address to the driver.

 

The driver responded and started the car.

 

Sitting in the back seat, Jian Luo felt that his entire body was going to be crippled. He gasped lightly, thinking that Lu Shifeng was a beast and a bastard, not a human being!

 

Quickly

 

The driver arrived at the place: “Mr. Jian Luo, we are here.”

 

Jian Luo got up with difficulty and trembled as he opened the door, but the driver was faster and had already gotten out of the car to open the door for him.

 

“Thank you.” Jian Luo still remembered to be polite.

 

The driver was also an honest man: “No need, Madam Lu. Oh no, I meant Mr. Jian. Please have a good journey.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo glanced at him.

 

The honest driver touched his head and pretended that he didn’t say anything.

 

Jian Luo reluctantly retracted his gaze. He had inquired before that the Dark Stars were not as conservative. They did not require those who have slept together to be married, like some traditional societies, so someone like him and Lu Shifeng having a one night stand was fine.

 

Everyone was mature, so it must be casual for them to get together before breaking up.

 

“Jian Luo!”

 

A boy’s voice came from not far away.

 

Jian Luo turned his head and saw a slightly chubby boy in black clothes standing on the side of the road. He was tall and strong.

 

Jiang Jiang strode over: “How are you?”

 

Jian Luo stretched out his hand tremblingly: “Hold my hand.”

 

Jiang Jiang supported him in a panic: “It’s alright. You are really going to scare me to death. When I got the call today, I was going to hang up.”

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo gasped lightly: “Go back first, I want to take a bath.”

 

Jiang Jiang answered and led him back, but he didn’t ask any more questions. He looked back frequently along the way, and it seemed that he had a lot to say, but he held back.

 

Jian Luo simply said, “What do you want to ask?”

 

“You have a piece of it…” Jiang Jiang seemed to be thinking about the words: “It seems to be the scent of a Dark Star.”

 

Logically speaking, Jian Luo was a human being, so how could he smell like a Dark Star?

 

And this smell was very overbearing and it made people a little uncomfortable after whiffing it.

 

Jian Luo sighed lightly: “Be confident and remove your stammering assumptions.”

 

Jiang Jiang was stunned, he had something more important to ask: “Luoluo, tell me. Did the other party force you? Don’t be afraid, if the other party really dared to force you, even if he is a Dark Star, he will not be exempted. The military will maintain order, so we don’t need to be afraid.”

 

“…”

 

The military did it to me.

 

Jian Luo sighed leisurely: “Forget it, no one forced me, I’m tired and hungry now, will you hurry up and drive?”

 

“…Okay.”

 

The two quickly returned to the residence in a car.

 

Although Jiang Jiang lives in the inner ring, it was an ordinary residential building. No one would have thought that the headquarters of Jinjiang Live Broadcasting Network was in such a simple place.

 

Jiang Jiang led Jian Luo to stop at a door. The biometric detector on the door scanned his pupils and made a mechanical sound: “Beep, pass.”

 

The door opened and two people walked in.

 

Jian Luo was helped in by him, and Jiang Jiang said, “Who was it? He didn’t take pity on you at all.”

 

Jian Luo echoed: “Too inhumane!”

 

The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a small dining table in the living room. The kitchen was also very small. There was one bedroom and a study.

 

Jiang Jiang said, “You can sleep in the bedroom, I’ll just sleep in the study.”

 

Jian Luo shook his head: “No.”

 

“Why are you being so courteous with me?” Jiang Jiang asked him to sit beside the bed: “To be honest, I don’t usually use the bedroom. I sleep in the study because there are many things to monitor on the website. There are also bugs from time to time that I have to fix.”

 

Jian Luo was a little surprised: “It turns out that Jinjiang is so laggy because you are the only programmer?”

 

“Is it that laggy?” Jiang Jiang said confidently, “I think it’s okay!”

 

“…”

 

I’m afraid you have some misunderstandings about your own website.

 

Fortunately, Jian Luo didn’t bother to argue with him about these matters now. He sat down on the bed and asked, “Can you take a shower here, I feel uncomfortable.”

 

Jiang Jiang nodded quickly: “Yes, yes, I’ll adjust the water temperature for you.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Thank you!”

 

Jiang Jiang waved his hand and left. As soon as he walked away, Jian Luo covered his stomach. He seemed to be leaking something. He couldn’t feel any sensation below his legs. He recalled that last night was like a nightmare. Fortunately, although Lu Shifeng is not a human being, he did not transform into his dragon body to mate with him, otherwise he might not be alive now.

 

“Luoluo, it’s ready!”

 

Jiang Jiang’s voice came from outside.

 

Jian Luo responded: “Okay.”

 

He took off the information bracelet. The conditions at home were not good so the bracelet he bought was not a particularly high-end model. As such, it was not waterproof. The bracelet was placed outside as he asked Jiang Jiang to lend him a shirt before he went inside.

 

On the other side

 

In the military base.

 

When Lu Shifeng woke up, it was already noon. The black dragon shook his head comfortably. There was still a hint of sweet fragrance in the air, which was very tantalizing.

 

It was the smell of that human being.

 

By the way, what about that human?

 

Lu Shifeng turned his head. He didn’t need to look around much. There was no one else in this room and the smart dragon quickly came to a conclusion.

 

The dragon’s tail shook on the floor unhappily.

 

“Ding Dong”

 

The doorbell rang outside.

 

Lu Shifeng regained his human form. Without the dragon scales, his skin was revealed with a mottle of blue and purple scratches on it. It was very terrifying.

 

Secretary Jin was exhausted and worried waiting outside.

 

“Beep.”

 

The door opened and Lu Shifeng’s voice sounded from inside: “Come in.”

 

Secretary Jin felt as if she had been granted amnesty, and hurriedly walked in. The person sitting on the sofa wore a tattered military uniform and coat. One could faintly see the scratches on their neck and Secretary Jin who saw it felt shocked. There was not a single trace of the person who left, making it seem like it was brother Jian who was the ruthless one.

 

Secretary Jin thoughtfully said, “Marshal, His Majesty called you to enter the palace urgently. He said that there is something he needs to discuss with you.”

 

Lu Shifeng said, “I don’t have time.”

 

“Cough.” Secretary Jin felt a little difficult so she said quickly, “Your Majesty said that if you are in a hurry, he can take the initiative to come over on his own.”

 

“…”

 

Lu Shifeng’s handsome face instantly darkened.

 

It’s not that he was afraid of the little emperor. The main reason was that the little emperor was too difficult to deal with. That person was like a disgusting brown-sugar candy, sticky and can’t be torn off or kicked away.

 

After thinking for a while, Lu Shifeng said, “Let him come.”

 

Secretary Jin responded quickly, ready to find the right time to run away.

 

“Stop.” A cool voice came from behind and Lu Shifeng said slowly, “Did I pardon you?”

 

Secretary Jin stopped and walked back in small steps: “What is your order?”

 

Lu Shifeng said slowly, “Where’s Jian Luo?”

 

“…”

 

Marshal, wake up, I beg you.

 

What’s wrong with Jian Luo, he ran away early.

 

The other side

 

When Jiang Jiang was in the study room, he heard a sound coming from the information bracelet in the room. He shouted to the bathroom: “Luoluo, you seem to have a call!”

 

Jian Luo was having a hard time. He thought that Su Liang called him to ask why he didn’t return all night, so he said, “Please pick it up for me. Tell them you are Jiang Jiang, and that I stayed at your house.”

 

Fortunately, he thought about it well in advance and told Su Liang that if he had something to do in Sky City temporarily, he would stay at his good friend Jiang Jiang’s house first.

 

Jiang Jiang responded, but didn’t even realize that he was answering a call from the previous caller. 

 

From the other end of the phone came a low and steady male voice with a magnetic tone: “Jian Luo.”

 

“Hey, I’m not Jian Luo, I’m Jiang Jiang.”

 

The head paused: “Where is he? I’m looking for him.”

 

“Ah, he went to take a bath!” Jiang Jiang scratched his head: “He slept with me today, don’t worry.”

 

“…”

 


T/N: Er… Jiang Jiang death flag spotted!!! It was nice knowing you, you were one of my fav characters. But after you said what you said, I’m guessing this is good bye uhuhuu

Chapter 22 – Never go home

Chapter 22 – Never go home

 

The next day

 

When Jian Luo just woke up, he thought that he had been run over by a car again.

 

This kind of feeling was not something ordinary people could go through with. His limbs were sore and weak, and his entire body felt like he had been roasted over and over over a fire. Both hot and sore. He couldn’t move at all, but that’s also good as he doesn’t dare to recall what just happened.

 

“Boom!”

 

Jian Luo rolled off the bed. He let out a sigh as the bottom of his hand felt something icy cold to the touch. He looked down cautiously and saw that it was a dragon’s tail!

 

The huge body of the black dragon had occupied the entire bedroom. The whole dragon was resting. At this moment, he was satiated with his eyes closed. If he understood the natural behavior of the Dark Stars a little more, he would know that an adult dragon will never be in a place other than in his nest and with no one other than their partner. Plus when they fall asleep, it will be into a deep sleep that is difficult to wake up from.

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened: “Dragon savior?”

 

A fragment of his memory flashed by, and Jian Luo suddenly recalled that before, it seemed that Lu Shifeng’s hurried dragon scales were black, which meant that his life-saving dragon was actually Lu Shifeng!?

 

Shit!

 

Now Jian Luo just wants to swear, does that mean that he really follows the rules of the rivers and lakes and promises his life-saving benefactor?

 

Suddenly

 

The dragon’s tail moved, and Lu Shifeng seemed to be waking up.

 

Jian Luo’s heart was stuck in his throat. He didn’t know where his strength suddenly came from, but he endured the pain and stood up. One of the advantages of Interstellar Technology was that there was a small grid in the information bracelet used as a storage space for clothes.

 

“Clothes, clothes…”

 

Jian Luo took out the white coat he had stored before shaking it and putting it on.

 

Step by step, he carefully moved to the door. When he opened the door, he was met by the people outside with big eyes and small eyes1O-o. Secretary Jin said, “Luoluo?”

 

Jian Luo leaned against the door and smiled at her: “Secretary Jin, your office is really interesting.”

 

Secretary Jin was sullen and she was about to cough a mouthful of blood: “That, Luoluo, I have to say… that is not my office, this is the marshal’s lounge.”

 

? ? ?

 

Jian Luo gnashed his almost shattered teeth as he trembled with anger: “Why did the little adjutant bring me here?”

 

Secretary Jin couldn’t figure it out either. Right now, she had something else more important to figure out, that is, why did this human being… smell like the marshal?

 

There were only two possible explanations.

 

One is that this human drank the marshal’s dragon blood, but that was impossible. Ignoring considerations about whether a human could withstand the dragon’s blood or not, it was an offense to Lu Shifeng’s people. Even if the god of war came, he may not be able to taste dragon blood.

 

This human?

 

Secretary Jin glanced at Jian Luo in front of her. The young man’s white apparel was covering him tightly, but there were still some traces on his neck that could not be ignored, but they didn’t look like traces of violence, but like oh no…

 

Secretary Jin suddenly had a bold idea: “Luoluo, you didn’t…”

 

Jian Luo shuddered. His face was dark and he didn’t want to speak: “Secretary Jin, I remember the contract we signed before, that is if something unpleasant happened to me during work, I can terminate the contract at any time.”

 

Secretary Jin remembered that this was true, she nodded: “What happened to you, Luoluo, can you tell me?”

 

“…”

 

Like I would tell you shit!

 

Jian Luo felt so uncomfortable sohe took a breath: “Secretary Jin, can you do one thing for me?”

 

Secretary Jin said quickly, “I can do it!”

 

This person may be the marshal’s future wife. Taking that into consideration, he might be the master of the other half of the military in the future. Was there anything she couldn’t do for him?

 

Jian Luo gritted his teeth: “Call me a car.”

 

Secretary Jin looked inside hesitantly: “But marshal…”

 

“Forget it.” Jian Luo said, “I’ll call one myself.”

 

Secretary Jin quickly changed her words: “Hey, hey. I’ll call for one. You can rest, I’ll call a car!”

 

As expected of the number one secretary of the military, her work efficiency is very fast. Secretary Jin originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by Jian Luo. Jian Luo had already figured it out. If he went home in a ghostly way, wouldn’t Su Liang and his younger brother make trouble?

 

No, no, wherever he was going, he had to find a hotel in Dark Star by himself!

 

Jian Luo said to the driver, “Please take me to a hotel.”

 

The driver turned his head to the front: “Sir, just to ask, do you have a registered permanent residence?”

 

“…”

 

What the hell?

 

Jian Luo sighed, “No.”

 

“You can’t stay in the Dark Star’s hotel.” The driver dutifully said, “I’ll take you home.”

 

Jian Luo’s head was buzzing all of a sudden, and he glanced at the driver with some resentment. But after thinking about it, it didn’t seem to have anything to do with the drivers, so he just looked away and laid down on the car’s chair blankly.

 

After quite a while

 

Jian Luo finally thought of somewhere to go!


T/N: Yes. If you’re wondering if they did the nasty. Yes, yes they did. Unfortunately, it’s censored… I’m so sad, but hey they say imagination is the best tool, so I’ll just leave whatever happened between Jian Luo and his draggo hubby up to your imaginations, huh? ✍(◔◡◔) I wonder how dissapointed Aidalba must’ve been when reading the beginning of this chapter. Bet you were expecting spicy spicy seggs huh? I’m sorry to dissapoint uwu, BUT if you were dissapointed, imagine how I must’ve felt ( ˘︹˘ )

 

Anyways, don’t drop this novel yet ahaha. More is yet to come!! We gotta wait for them to fall in love before they can actually make love!!! This is the pure-love channel after all~~~ See you guys tmr!

Chapter 31 – This is for borrowing!

Chapter 31 – This is for borrowing!

 

Xing Zhongwan was video calling in the bathroom. After the three finished talking about their business, Cheng Zhengzhe lifted his two long ponytails and pouted his lips thick with smoky makeup, “Lao Xing, I heard that you and Qi Yun are getting married? Brother didn’t get anything for you yet so I’ve sent a link, I’m thinking of getting the four-piece set.”

 

Xing Zhongwan mercilessly kicked the person out of the call, but Cheng Zhengzhe was soon let in by Xue Qing who sent him an invite to join back. She had a facial mask on while eating durian, “Lao Xing, you really want to go to Jiangnan with Qi Yun? Jiangnan has lots of beautiful mountains and rivers. It’s where a love story is most likely to happen.”

 

Xue Qing was then kicked out by Xing Zhongwan but Cheng Zhengzhe quickly invited her back in, “Lao Xing, if you want to go there. Pay attention to your personal safety and protect the chrysanthemum1his behind lol behind you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan rolled his eyes, “Get straight to the point, otherwise you will both be blocked!”

 

Xue Qing, who had just been invited back, ripped off the mask on her face, “Seriously, I’m bringing Professor Gao back tomorrow. I know only you and Qi Yun are aware of what’s going on in your hearts. We’re just joking and hope that you don’t become too involved with the Qi family. You already have some ideas about it and I know you have some sense so we are not worried about you. Go ahead to Jiangnan and pay attention to your own safety. If anything happens, contact us. We can take action if necessary.”

 

Xing Zhongwan shook his head, “Nothing’s happened yet so don’t worry.”

 

Cheng Zhengzhe’s face got closer to the screen of his mobile phone, startling both Xing Zhongwan and Xue Qing, “Lao Xing, when you go back, pray to your mother for us too. We miss her very much. If there is something amiss, remember to ask her to appear in our dreams to let us know.”

 

“You, take off your makeup. You’re going to scare everyone to death!” Xing Zhongwan and Xue Qing said in unison, kicking Cheng Zhengzhe out of the group chat 

 

 

In Qi Yun’s room, Chen Ying stood at the side, “Master Yun, everything has been arranged in Jiangnan. You can leave at any time.”

 

Qi Yun rubbed his eyebrows and nodded slightly. Chen Ying thought for a while, “The thing you ordered me to do last time has been done. The bait has been released, now we are just waiting for the fish to take the bait.”

 

Qi Yun slowly opened his eyes. There was some coldness in those eyes, “I want the fourth young master, Qi, to never be able to get up again.”

 

Chen Ying stroked the glasses on the bridge of his nose, “I shouldn’t have meddled with some things, but… Young Master Yun, let me ask you one more thing. Don’t you care a little too much about the young madam?”

 

Qi Yun didn’t respond and asked, “Is this about the will that was released to the Qi family?”

 

Chen Ying said, “Yes, the old lady made two wills. One is public and I have secretly disclosed some of the contents to Madam Qi. I think the other side should not be able to sit still.” 

 

“Your grandfather is still quite calm.”

 

Qi Yun looked on indifferently, “He is sitting on the fence while watching the tigers fight, I wish to provoke and hurt both sides.”

 

After a pause, the indifference on his face dissipated, “Send more people to protect Wanwan well.

 

Chen Ying frowned internally, “You really don’t need me to investigate the identity of the young madam?”

 

Qi Yun turned to face the window. He knew that the sun was shining and there was the crisp sound of birds chirping in his ears, but he couldn’t see it at all.

 

“As soon as you make a move, the Qi family will know and they will also investigate it. Don’t touch Wanwan.”

 

“How am I supposed to let the people who harm me live at ease in the world? How am I to not let them fall into the darkness one day?”

 

Qi Yun’s words were deep and cold. Each one was like a sharp knife that dug deep into one’s bones and Chen Ying’s palm was slightly sweaty, “Master Yun, the chairwoman’s health is getting worse and worse, you… She really wants to see you.”

 

Qi Yun lowered his head and tugged at the bandages on his hands, “She never liked me ever since I was a child. She could still pretend in front of my grandma, but as soon as grandma died, she couldn’t wait for me to die. What was the point of meeting each other?”

 

Chen Ying’s sweat was soaking the shirt he wore inside his suit, “Master Yun, the chairwoman had a hard time hiding from the you back then. She is not who you think she is.”

 

Qi Yun snorted coldly, “Chen Ying, you’ve been with her for a long time. Have you finally been assimilated by her? You’ve been with my grandma for so many years and you will know how sincere she really is towards me. She hates my father and hates me even more. She even feels disgusted just glancing at me because of my bloodline. Don’t say anything else and please take good care of her body.”

 

Qi Yun closed his eyes and didn’t want to say anything anymore. Chen Ying lowered his head and bowed to Qi Yun. As he walked out slowly and opened the door, Qi Yun’s deep voice sounded behind him, “Don’t touch Wanwan, unless you want to test my limits!”

 

Chen Ying paused and went out gently as he shut the door behind him.

 

As soon as he looked up, he saw Xing Zhongwan who was walking towards him. The sun was behind him so he couldn’t see Xing Zhongwan’s face clearly. Chen Ying felt a slight sense of oppression as he thought of Xing Zhongwan’s face. It flashed across his mind quickly, and a drop of sweat fell between his eyebrows. Chen Ying didn’t know whether Qi Yun’s feelings for this man were real or not, but Chen Ying knew how much influence this man had on Qi Yun. It’s been like this just after a few months of getting along together. What would happen if Qi Yun saw Xing Zhongwan’s appearance in the future…?

 

Chen Ying didn’t dare to think about it…

 

On the day he was about to leave for Jiangnan, Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun’s luggages and the dozens of accompanying people.

 

He looked at his own little duffel bag and rubbed his nose.

 

Throwing the duffel bag into the trunk, Xing Zhongwan turned around and saw a strange girl following the entourage into the car. She had an ordinary appearance, but looked very obedient.

 

Xing Zhongwan shrugged and opened the car door. As soon as Qi Yun smelled Xing Zhongwan’s scent, he relaxed. Xing Zhongwan took a vacuum flask from the side, opened the lid and handed it to Qi Yun, “Hey, it’s time to drink your medicine.” Qi Yun took it and looked up. Without frowning, he drank the whole bowl of chinese medicine2Extremely bitter. into his stomach. Xing Zhongwan peeled a lollipop and stuffed it into Qi Yun’s mouth, the sweet and greasy taste instantly dispelled the bitterness. 

 

After the two talked it out, Xing Zhongwan never had a lollipop again and the remaining ones he had all went into Qi Yun’s mouth. Didn’t this person have to drink chinese medicine anyways? Qi Yun only frowned when Xing Zhongwan put the candy in his mouth for the first time and then accepted it readily subsequently.

 

Xing Zhongwan looked at Qi Yun with a lollipop in his mouth. His cold face obviously didn’t match the white paper stick sticking out, Xing Zhongwan held back a smile, “Hey, why is there a girl in the group?”

 

When Xing Zhongwan finished speaking, Qi Yun took out the lollipop from his mouth, his face was a little unsightly.

 

“Is that girl very beautiful?”

 

Xing Zhongwan replied casually, “Not bad!”

 

As soon as he finished saying those words, Qi Yun grabbed his hand and said coldly, “Don’t look at her!”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned stupid. He asked dumbfoundedly, “Why? Are you still restricting me to this?”

 

Qi Yun was unhappy, “Is she prettier than me?”

 

Xing Zhongwan saw that his face had turned blue so he opened his mouth and said, “Of course not as beautiful as you are. There are probably very few people in the world who are more beautiful than you.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s mouth has always been accustomed to flirting, and if he wanted to coax people, he would do it. Qi Yun’s ears slowly turned red, “Then why are you looking at her? Just look at me.”

 

As soon as he finished speaking, his ears were already fully red.

 

Xing Zhongwan couldn’t help laughing out loud, “I just feel that there was one additional person suddenly, and I don’t know whose spy that might be, so I asked. What are you thinking about?”

 

He couldn’t help but add internally that the person was not his taste. In terms of appearance, she wasn’t necessarily that good-looking and he doesn’t think he’ll pick that person.

 

Only then did Qi Yun’s face relax, “Don’t worry, she was specially chosen by my mother to leave it to me.”

 

“For you?”

 

Xing Zhongwan said in surprise, but seeing Qi Yun leaning on his shoulder and closing his eyes, it was obvious that he didn’t want to say more.

 

Xing Zhongwan was a smart person so he understood as soon as he thought about it. She was borrowed to be the surrogate! 

 

Madam Qi moved really fast and she didn’t delay it at all.


T/N: Owo just thinking about how Qi Yun’s mother could just heartlessly bring in another women for the sole reason of reproducing an heir for her disgusts me. Poor Qi Yun, with a mother like that, it’s better to not have one at all… I also feel bad for the girl, cause she was probably made a deal with Madam Qi out of desperation too.

Chapter 21 – Once the Spring Breeze comes

Chapter 21 – Once the Spring Breeze comes

 

Jian Luo now feels that Dark Star people really are an enthusiastic bunch!

 

As he walked, he said to the little adjutant, “Before I came here, I actually heard a lot of rumors about this place. I didn’t expect to feel so cordial after I came here.”

 

The little adjutant opened his eyes and spouted nonsense: “Damn, don’t listen to the nonsense outside. Our welfare support is high and the treatment is good. Even the marshal is very concerned about his subordinates!”

 

“…”

 

God, please forgive his lies!

 

When Jian Luo thought of Lu Shifeng, his brain hurt a little: “Well, there is something I want to ask you about.”

 

The little adjutant said generously, “What did you want to ask?”

 

“That is if… if, and I mean if someone accidentally said something wrong and offended the marshal.” Jian Luo was on the verge of dying and continued frantically: “Tell me… what would happen?”

 

“…”

 

There was a moment of dead silence in the air.

 

The little adjutant tentatively said: “I think, if that was the case, it would not be very serious.”

 

Jian Luo breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed like it was not that bad.

 

“It’s definitely possible for them to keep their corpse intact!” The little adjutant smiled: “But the Marshal’s temper has not been very good recently, so maybe he’ll even let them keep their ashes!”

 

“Boom……”

 

The dishes clinked a few times.

 

The little adjutant looked at the person next to him suspiciously: “What’s wrong with you, Luoluo? Are the dishes too heavy, why don’t I hold them for you?”

 

Jian Luo’s hands shook uncontrollably as he forced a smile: “No, no, no need to help me. I like serving dishes very much.”

 

The little adjutant was still a little worried: “Are you alright?”

 

“…”

 

There was something wrong!

 

This was a huge matter!

 

It seems that the matter regarding his resignation was urgent. If he accidentally bumped into Lu Shifeng, he may not even be able to preserve his ashes.

 

The little adjutant stopped: “Luoluo, it’s here. I won’t go in as I still have something to do. You can call me later if there’s anything.”

 

Jian Luo said, “Wait for me, we’ll go back together.”

 

The little adjutant did not dare to.

 

He was afraid that the marshal would call him in after a while.

 

Thinking of this, the adjutant exerted his usually slow brain: “I still have a job to do and the discipline in the military is strict, you know I can’t delay.”

 

Jian Luo nodded: “Okay then.”

 

So the little adjutant took off and ran away.

 

Jian Luo pressed on the door switch and the door opened in response. According to his understanding, he should be able to see a desk or something in the office as soon as the door is opened, but it was just the opposite. All kinds of golden guns were shining brightly.

 

“Secretary Jin has such a knack for collecting these, I really didn’t expect it.”

 

Jian Luo murmured to himself as he walked in with the meal bowl. This office was really too big. He passed by rows of shelves and went up the steps. Finally, he saw a desk. He walked in quickly and put down the bowl. When he was about to turn to leave, he heard from behind:

 

“Boom!”

 

A loud bang sounded from the lounge behind and the ground shook three times.

 

Jian Luo paused. Logically speaking, wasn’t this Secretary Jin’s office? Was there something back there or was it a thief?

 

Should he go or not go to check it out?

 

Jian Luo stood there a little confused.

 

Finally.

 

He decided to take a look around. This was a military base, so there shouldn’t be any thieves. Besides, it shouldn’t be a big deal to just take a look, it shouldn’t be a big deal.

 

Thinking so, Jian Luo went around the desk and walked towards the back.

 

He quietly slowed down his steps, ready to take a look and leave in a bit. When stopped at the corner of the wall, he quietly stuck out his head, and peered inside with one eye.

 

“Um!”

 

A pair of hands stretched out from behind the wall, and his world went spinning in an instant as his center of gravity was unbalanced. Then, there was a weight pressing on him, making it hard to breathe.

 

Heavy breathing sounded in his ears, making his heart beat faster.

 

Jian Luo didn’t dare open his eyes: “I-I didn’t see anything. I’m just a little cook, please spare my life.”

 

As soon as he spoke, there was no movement around and it was frighteningly quiet. This short calmness made Jian Luo suddenly feel a sense of security, so he opened his eyes cautiously.

 

A pair of scarlet eyes were facing him.

 

There were actually black dragon scales faintly appearing on that handsome face. Lu Shifeng’s whole body was pressed on him. Help.

 

“…”

 

Jian Luo was about to faint. He stammered: “M-Marshal?”

 

Lu Shifeng lowered his head and breathed lightly beside Jian Luo’s ear, as if he was sniffing his scent. The man’s voice was low and hoarse: “You smell so nice.”

 

Something was wrong with you.

 

Jian Luo felt difficult: “You get up first. I have something to say.”

 

He struggled a bit.

 

As a result, he didn’t know how he irritated the other person but dragon scales began to appear on not just Lu Shifeng’s face, but also on his hands. The ice-cold dragon scales rubbed against the skin of Jian Luo’s human cheeks, causing him to tremble all over.

 

Jian Luo used all his strength and roared angrily, “Get up quickly, I’m really going to be crushed to death!”

 

The deep masculine voice echoed in the room, and finally, Lu Shifeng was brought back to his senses.

 

Lu Shifeng sat up slowly, his voice hoarse: “How did you get in?”

 

“The little adjutant opened the door for me.” Jian Luo rubbed his sore bones: “Why are you so heavy?”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at him sideways and Jian Luo didn’t dare to speak.

 

The terrifying pressure in the air finally dissipated and Jian Luo glanced at him a little scared: “Are you alright? You don’t look so good.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s breathing was unstable: “I’m okay.”

 

Jian Luo stood up trembling: “Then as for me, I’ll be leaving.”

 

He took two steps forward cautiously, trying to sneak away unnoticably. In fact, he clearly mentioned before that Lu Shifeng was definitely a very handsome man. But even if spring has finally come for him on his own accord, he still didn’t want to get into trouble.

 

Just when he was about to leave successfully, his hand was held and Lu Shifeng lowered his voice: “Don’t go.”

 

Jian Luo felt his wrist get hot. It was really hot.

 

Lu Shifeng raised his face, the man’s handsome face was no longer as cold and indifferent as before, but a little more bewitching as he repeated: “Don’t go.”

 

“…”

 

This, this was too unfair!

 

It’s true that Jian Luo was a face-con1Someone who likes pretty/handsome faces., but wasn’t he also handsome? Although he was still a child, it does not mean that he does not know those things, and he has fantasized that one day, there will be a beautiful person or a formidable top accompanying the arrival of his springtime. He just didn’t expect this day to come so quickly!

 

If Lu Shifeng was very stubborn about it, then Jian Luo would’ve definitely fought to the death just now. However, upon facing this unfairly handsome face, it was really difficult to refuse.


T/N: Special thanks to Polgara and Aidalba for the kofi <3 Me always appreciate it as a broke, hungry student (✿◠‿◠)

Chapter 20 – I'll take you into the room

Chapter 20 – I’ll take you into the room

 

After Jian Luo took a leave of absence to deal with the matter, he was indeed preparing for the live broadcast.

 

A lot of things have been delayed these days. He rarely goes on the live broadcast platform, so now he feels embarrassed.

 

The information bracelet received a message from Jiang Jiang: “Are you all right?”

 

“I’m okay.” Jian Luo quickly replied: “It’s just that I encountered some problems during this time. Thank you for your concern. I’ll resume live broadcasting.”

 

Jiang Jiang breathed a sigh of relief: “That’s good.”

 

Jian Luo smiled: “I will send you the food I made today.”

 

“Okay!” Jiang Jiang said, “Thank you, brother.”

 

Jian Luo started to log in to Jinjiang. The web page buffered for a long time, but it was still blank. No matter, it honed his patience.

 

After placing the small ball down for the live broadcast, he started:

 

“Hi everyone, let’s make shrimp chips today.” Jian Luo smiled: “We can’t sell the french fries from before because of a copyright issue regarding our french fries so we’re making shrimp chips today.”

 

He thought that he had not started broadcasting for many days and should not be popular, not expecting the opposite:

 

“God, the anchor is on!”

“I waited day and night!”

“Anchor, I’m begging you. Open the popcorn for purchase!”

 

Jian Luo glanced at the barrage and said in a relaxed tone: “Well, I’m going to open up the bulk physical purchase of several kinds of food soon. The anchor now has an assistant who can help with packing and shipping, but there is not enough staff, so only a limited amount will be available per day. Fifty shares. These fifty shares will be lucky-drawn in the live broadcast room. Is everyone in favor of this?”

 

The barrage was very cooperative:

 

“I support this.”

“What do you want to eat today?”

“I’m tired of shrimp, I thought you had something new.”

 

Jian Luo ignored some discordant remarks and just continued to prepare the shrimp. He didn’t like to show his face during the live broadcast and generally only liked to show the food to the video-recording console at most.

 

While handling the shrimp, Jian Luo said, “This shrimp must be handled well. Not just the shrimp head, the shrimp line should be picked out from the shrimp meat.”

 

Handling shrimp is not only labor-intensive, but also time-consuming.

 

His hands were white and slender, and he worked swiftly while handling them.

 

“Don’t waste too much of the shrimp heads.”

“Is this delicious?”

“The anchor doesn’t eat the suffering of the world.”

 

Jian Luo didn’t know that the Dark Stars originally ate the shrimp heads together. He felt helpless, but he still insisted on his own prep-work: “Then just put all the shrimp meat together.”

 

Because the barrage gradually became discordant, he tried his best to do more instead of speaking.

 

Suddenly-

 

“Drop!”

 

There was a donating notification sent by the small ball.

 

Jian Luo turned his head in surprise. As soon as he turned his head, he saw a prompt: 

 

User: [Feng] sent a deep-water torpedo1Usually, they give a certain fixed amount of donations cute names in live-streaming apps. A deep-water torpedo sounds pretty hefty, so I’m guessing it’s a huge sum of money..

 

That was a lot of money.

 

Jian Luo felt very happy and said, “Thank you for the gift. It’s expensive, so I’ll mail you a copy after the shrimp sticks are made.”

 

The barrage crowd was also stunned by the generous gestures of the local tyrant2A watcher who dominates a live broadcasting room. Because he donated a large sum of money, the other viewers will often know his presence, and the broadcasting anchor will usually also acknowledge/thank them every time they donate..

 

Jian Luo began staring at the barrage.

 

After a while there was finally a very prominent message box.

 

[Feng]: How much will it take for you to show your face?

 

? ? ? ?

 

What a strange request.

 

The barrage is also very excited:

 

“Please show us your face.”

“I’m curious too.”

“The anchor cooks deliciously. I want us to get married.”

“The anchor must be good-looking. I look forward to it. I like the anchor very much.”

 

Jian Luo was a little embarrassed. In fact, it was okay for him to show his face, but he just didn’t like showing his face. He was hesitating when Feng suddenly said, “Forget it. No need to show it.”

 

? ? ?

 

I haven’t promised you anything yet!

 

Jian Luo was stunned by the willfulness of the local tyrant, but he could only endure the incoming complaints and continue: “Then let’s continue cooking.”

 

After that, with the addition of Feng, the live broadcasting room became very lively.

 

Whenever he doesn’t speak, the local tyrant fan will swipe another deep water3Donation.. If he doesn’t speak, he will swipe, so that Jian Luo doesn’t dare not to speak. He feared that others would think it was an attempt to get his undivided attention.

 

In the end, he could not do it anymore.

 

Jian Luo said while frying shrimp sticks, “This… Brother Feng, you don’t need to butter me up so much. I will speak when I should.”

 

His voice fell.

 

Feng swiped one more and said, “Tell me more.”

 

“…”

 

I suspect your brain is sick.

 

Of course, Jian Luo shouldn’t get in trouble with the gold master, so he could only nod his head in agreement. He then submitted a friend request and was going to ask for an address to send the things over.

 

After the friend request was submitted, Jian Luo went into waiting.

 

After waiting a long time, his request to be accepted was not approved so Jian Luo had no choice and simply gave up. His friend’s request was not accepted and that legendary customer can do whatever he wants. He was happy with that.

 

The next day.

 

“Jian Luo!”

 

Secretary Jin walked over with high heels and she looked excited.

 

Jian Lu’s hand trembled while holding the rice and he almost dropped the plate, but he steadied himself: “What’s wrong with Secretary Jin, did I do something?”

 

“No no no no no.” Secretary Jin smiled: “I’m just happy to see you back from vacation.”

 

If I don’t come back, my mother will be killed.

 

But I can’t leave!

 

Jian Luo smiled: “It’s okay, I’m officially back at work now.”

 

“That’s fine, that’s fine.” Secretary Jin pointed to the inside: “Please send it in by yourself. I still have something to do, so I’ll go first.”

 

Jian Luo was taken aback: “What?”

 

Secretary Jin slipped away faster than anyone else and she had already run a long way ahead when she said: “Take care of yourself. Just send it to the innermost office in the west!”

 

“Hey…wait!”

 

Jian Luo couldn’t carry it anymore and wanted to call her but she ran so fast that she disappeared in a blink of an eye.

 

“I’m a mess, I can’t tell the direction at all.” Jian Luo held the plate with a confused look. Didn’t Secretary Jin send it in before, so why is she so busy today?

 

Jian Luo has always been unclear to whom this meal was given.

 

But he thinks that the office on the west side should be Secretary Kim’s office!

 

Then never mind.

 

Secretary Jin should be relatively busy, so it would be better if he walked a few more steps.

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo walked towards the office on the west side. This military base is too complicated. He already walked inside, but he didn’t meet anyone else. It was really outrageous.

 

“Huh? Is that you?”

 

At the corner, the little adjutant almost collided into Jian Luo.

 

Jian Luo was overjoyed when he saw him: “Hello, I’m here to deliver a meal. Secretary Jin said she wanted me to deliver…”

 

The little adjutant suddenly realized and interrupted him: “I see, she let you in, didn’t she?!”

 

“Yes, yes.” Jian Luo thought he understood: “Please show me the way, I really can’t find the place.”

 

Guiding the way was simply an easy task.

 

Secretary Jin was very knowledgeable. The marshal was having his manic period at the moment. The courtship problem of the dragon race will become more and more serious as time goes on. He was heated up and was now resting in the bedroom.

 

It was not a suitable time for anyone to deliver meals to him this time.

 

Jian Luo really was in time for the rain.

 

Thinking of this, the adjutant said quickly, “Come, come, I’ll take you, I’ll take you!”

 


T/N: OWOWO!!! The next chapter is the long awaited owo owo I was talking about… Aidalba, loooook it’s finally here UWA UWA

 

Ahem, apologies for the crude animal noises. I fear I might have caught something strange. A weird disease UMU, probably a side effect of stress lol

Chapter 19 – Dragon's estrus

Chapter 19 – Dragon’s estrus

 

Jian Luo now found it difficult.

 

He originally thought about not resigning too late, but now it seems that this was not a question of whether he would resign or not, but instead, whether he can still live.

 

Lu Shifeng.

 

Why did he mess with him, did he not cherish his life?

 

Su Liang saw Jian Luo’s expression changing again and again, so she pulled him over to sit down on the sofa: “Luoluo, you have become a lot more sensible since the last time you were sick. Although you have forgotten a lot of things and your temperament is not the same as before, mom is still very happy. For mom, as long as you and your brother can be well, mom is willing to do anything.”

 

Jian Luo’s heart tightened: “Mom…”

 

“Mom doesn’t want to be in the spotlight of the Dark Stars and I don’t want you to be Lu Shifeng’s lover. Mom wants you to just be good and happy.” Su Liang touched Jian Luo’s face: “Although mom is incompetent, mom never wants you to make a sacrifice on what you want to do.”

 

Jian Luo sighed: “Mom, don’t worry. I really have nothing to do with the marshal. Don’t worry, it really was an accident. At that time, after I fell on my head, it was not easy and I forgot a lot of things, but in the future I will remember it slowly, don’t worry.”

 

Su Liang lowered her head and a strange look flashed across her eyes.

 

“I…” Jian Luo pursed his lips, wondering if he should tell Su Liang the truth: “Mom, actually this body…”

 

Su Liang suddenly held his hand: “Luoluo!”

 

Jian Luo stopped for a moment.

 

“Mom knows, Mom knows.” Su Liang’s beautiful eyes flashed with tears, but she quickly put on a smile and hugged Jian Luo: “As long as you survived, you can still live.”

 

For a moment.

 

Jian Luo had mixed feelings in his heart.

 

He didn’t know what to say, but he wasn’t sure if the poor woman had already known the fact that her son was not here anymore.

 

Jian Luo had never thought about hiding it from her, nor was he ever careful about avoiding it because he wanted to let the family know the truth in a relatively easy going way.

 

Jian Luo patted Su Liang on the back: “Mom, let’s move out of here in the future. If you believe me, I can take you out of here.”

 

Su Liang hesitated for a moment, before finally nodding: “Okay, mom believes in you.”

 

At the military base.

 

The entire base was shrouded in unease.

 

Of course, there is no other reason apart from because the annual manic period of the dragon clan is coming. Since ancient times, those in the dragon clan have been very belligerent and bloodthirsty during this period. Their fighting strength is extremely strong, so it is very dangerous.

 

The little adjutant was very distressed: “Secretary Jin, won’t the marshal go to the aliens this year?”

 

Secretary Jin was also very worried: “Usually the marshal will be fighting at this time, but this year is very special. Several galaxies around have already been subdued, plus now that there is a meal on the Dark Star that suits his liking, I don’t think the marshal will go.”

 

The little adjutant had a sour face: “But if the marshal can’t take his anger out of the enemy, he will take it out on our soldiers.”

 

During this period of time, Lu Shifeng set up a test for the entire army. Almost every soldier had to fight two moves with him, and after, everyone needed to be repaired to the extent of their broken bones fixed. How many people will have the strength left to go into battle to kill the enemy?

 

Life is not easy. Secretary Jin sighed: “Of course I also know about this, but it seems that the Marshal is going to retreat recently and go to the Dragon Valley.”

 

Little adjutant: “Really?!”

 

Secretary Jin nodded: “Actually, as you know, it’s referred to as the manic period, but actually it’s…”

 

The adjutant nodded quickly: “I know, I know, courting season.”

 

In order to ensure the regular reproduction of dragons, there is always an anxious courting season lasting half a month every year. Adult dragons will be very anxious and impatient at this time. If there is an object of adoration, they may make a move.

 

However, none of these applied to Lu Shifeng.

 

The marshal has not slept with anyone. The old, single dragon has not talked to anyone for five or six hundred years, let alone courted them. Every year during courting season, he vents his anger at the enemy on the battlefield. This year was the only exception.

 

Secretary Jin carefully said: “However, the dragon clan has not given birth for thousands of years, so it is still not too bad for the marshal.”

 

“Ding dong!”

 

There was a message sound, which startled Secretary Jin.

 

The little adjutant was timid: “It’s the marshal’s.”

 

Secretary Jin nodded. She had to go to the training base to find Lu Shifeng. At this time, she could only go in with determination.

 

“Boom!”

 

There was the sound of the ground cracking as the door was opened.

 

Secretary Jin was panicking in her heart, but she was used to being calm on the front. She walked along the ground that was still unbroken: “Marshal, you called me for something?”

 

Lu Shifeng sat on the chair. The man’s uniform was still meticulous but the training ground looked like it was about to be finished. All the tiles were cracked and the equipment was broken. The perpetrator of everything was so calm as if he was just sipping tea.

 

Lu Shifeng said, “Go and tell Jian Luo that the meals in the future will be changed. Let him make more to deliver.”

 

Secretary Jin was taken aback: “A second meal?”

 

“Can’t you do that?” Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids to look at her. Those blood-red eyes became scarlet after they shifted and she trembled, scared.

 

Secretary Jin was afraid but she held her courage: “Of course it’s okay, but the contract with Jian Luo was not signed like this, so he can’t always stay at the military base. He has to go back at night.”

 

And……

 

It was a temporary contract. Jian Luo was not a regular employee.

 

But Secretary Jin dared not say this.

 

Lu Shifeng said: “I don’t need him at night. Let him bring it to me during the day.”

 

“Okay… um?” Secretary Jin was taken aback: “Don’t I always bring the meals to you?”

 

Lu Shifeng frowned, a little displeased: “He doesn’t want to deliver the meals he cooks. Are you his secretary?”

 

“…”

 

That’s not what I meant.

 

Secretary Jin was a little aggrieved, but she didn’t dare to say more. These days, Lu Shifeng was in the manic period and he was really someone who could eat people.

 

She responded quickly: “Yes, yes, yes. I will carry it out well.”

 

Lu Shifeng closed his eyelids. The ancient blood of the dragon race was surging in his body. The stronger the dragon race, the more difficult it would be to suppress his mania. He could either rely on violence to vent, or be relieved by his partner only. In fact, his manic period came a little early but he found a way to suppress it.

 

“Go let him cook and deliver it.” Lu Shifeng ordered.

 

Jian Luo’s meals had the ability to promote the secretion of dopamine and also suppress the wild instinct of the dragon race. Lu Shifeng thought it was because of the meals, but it was not until he met Jian Luo that he realized that this aura came from Jian Luo himself.

 

He needed to see Jian Luo.

 

Secretary Jin didn’t know that she was going to hurt her colleague: “He won’t come today, he’s on leave.”

 

Lu Shifeng’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: “Why did he ask for a leave again?”

 

“…”

 

Secretary Jin shivered.

 

Suddenly, she activated her witty brain and thought up an excuse: “Marshal, although Jian Luo has taken a leave today, I know that he will have a live broadcast in a bit. His live broadcasting room will feature holographic sharing so if you watch the live broadcast, it is equivalent to being able to taste his food!”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids: “Watch his cooking?”

 

Secretary Jin was at a loss again. She hesitated: “Um, you don’t want to watch it?”

 

Lu Shifeng didn’t care about this, he asked, “Can you see the person?”

 

“…”

 

I have never heard of such a request.

Chapter 30 – So this was how the Qi family’s daughters-in-law are brought in

Chapter 30 – So this was how the Qi family’s daughters-in-law are brought in

 

Xue Qing opened the door of the cab, watching as Xing Zhongwan got into the car. Placing both hands on the door, she looked at him. Her handsome face was less carefree now and more serious, “Don’t you think that this is weird?”

 

Xing Zhongwan started the car, “It is weird. I still can’t find any clues but I’m taking it one step at a time. It’s a fake marriage anyway. I’ll move my mother back first.”

 

Xue Qing stared at Xing Zhongwan and saw that he looked unsure.

 

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

 

Xue Qing squeezed herself into the driver’s seat, “Be honest, are you interested in Qi Yun? We’ve been good friends for so many years. Tell me so I can give you my take on things.”

 

Xing Zhongwan pushed her away in disgust, “Move aside. Laozi might be doing something stupid now, but my mind is not confused. It’s impossible for me and Qi Yun.”

 

Xue Qing snorted. His words were harsh but who would secretly take some dumpling back to give that somebody a taste. It’s not like Qi Yun has never eaten any delicious food before.

 

He took out a bottle of perfume from her pocket and threw it over, “Hey, when I came, that sissy asked me to bring this to you. He said the old you would’ve quickly used it up. Don’t you think he’s being a little pretentious, nagging you on how you should use this perfume.”

 

Xing Zhongwan took the bottle of perfume. “You should learn more from Lao Cheng, then your heart will become more delicate.”

 

Xue Qing rolled her eyes, “He’s your general manager. If he’s not careful or delicate, who will be? Hurry up and go now, else your Qi Yun will cry later.”

 

Xing Zhongwan swore at her before slamming the door heavily. He then stomped on the accelerator and drove away.

 

As soon as Xing Zhongwan entered the villa, he saw that Qi Yun was dressed neatly and already waiting for him at the door. Xing Zhongwan got out of the car and asked about the strangeness, “Is there anything happening today? Why are you wearing… such formal attire?”

 

Qi Yun looked indifferent. He then saw a familiar face, it was Madam Qi’s secretary.

 

“Young madam, today is the day for you and the third young master to register your marriage.”

 

Xing Zhongwan glanced at Qi Yun in surprise. So quickly? Was it too late to think on his decision before taking action?

 

After getting in the car, Xing Zhongwan lowered his head and said in a low voice, “Hey, what is your mother doing? They won’t really take us to the marriage registration office, will they?”

 

Qi Yun turned his head slightly, “My mother is the best at acting, you might as well enjoy this play.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought to himself, I’m afraid that in your mother’s eyes, we’re the ones in the play.

 

Qi Yun turned his body sideways, leaned on Xing Zhongwan, closed his eyes, the scent of pine wood on his body was stronger tonight and it smelled very comforting.

 

Xing Zhongwan leaned to the side subconsciously. The embarrassment from this morning had not subsided and now he has to go to a fake marriage. Xing Zhongwan felt that his brain was really broken.

 

Suddenly remembering that there was a Chinese mugwort dumpling in his pocket, he took it out and tapped on Qi Yun’s arm, “Hey, do you want to eat some? These mugwort dumplings are delicious.”

 

Qi Yun listened to that voice speak like it was offering treasures and curiously straightened his body before taking the unidentified object with a soft fragrance in his hand…

 

He opened his mouth and took a small bite. Xing Zhongwan looked expectantly, “Is it delicious?” Qi Yun nodded, “It has a special taste.”

 

Xing Zhongwan smiled and said, “It still doesn’t taste as good as the Jiangnan main store. The Chinese mugwort dumplings in the main store have a strong aroma, but they are delicious. I really want to go back and eat a few.”

 

Hearing what he said, Qi Yun hurriedly picked it up and took a big bite, “When things have ended here, we’ll go to Jiangnan to live for a while.”

 

Xing Zhongwan turned around in surprise, “Why?”

 

Qi Yun said, “Listening to the local accent from your mouth made me really want to go see the place where you once lived.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment. After staring at the sesame foam sticking to Qi Yun’s mouth for some time, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it gently for him.

 

After he finished wiping, Xing Zhongwan felt a little embarrassed. His actions felt a little ambiguous. Putting the handkerchief back into his pocket, he grabbed the half-eaten mugwort dumpling in Qi Yun’s hand, “You don’t have to finish it if you don’t like it.” He shoved it into his own mouth, only to find out that something felt off after he finished chewing it, so he could only swallow it. When doing so, he accidentally choked and couldn’t help but beat on his chest a few times. Qi Yun frowned, “What’s wrong?” Xing Zhongwan coughed for a long time before finally swallowing it successfully, his eyes turning red.

 

Qi Yun handed the thermos cup that was originally prepared for him to Xing Zhongwan, “Drink some water.” 

 

Xing Zhongwan took it, opened the lid and took a sip. Qi Yun patted him on the back, “Why are you so careless?”

 

Xing Zhongwan closed the lid with a guilty conscience, looking at the faint worry on Qi Yun’s face, he didn’t know what to feel.

 

Qi Yun still knew his mother very well. She really was a good actor. As expected, she came to the marriage registration office, but it was only held in the VIP room. Someone was already waiting inside and the documents were already prepared. They just had to sign the documents. Xing Zhongwan read the marriage registration application very carefully. He even followed through with the procedure seriously.

 

It’s just that on his page, his actual name was not written on it. There were only two words, ‘Wanwan’. Plus, the gender column was also left blank. Xing Zhongwan felt that it was funny. Madam Qi, you are pretending to play family in this official department. You’re so arrogant, is the director of marriage registration aware of this?

 

Xing Zhongwan wrote the words ‘Wanwan’ in the blank space for his signature and couldn’t help laughing while writing it down. After signing, Qi Yun held the pen with a serious expression. Xing Zhongwan smiled and walked to his side, guiding his hand to the blank space for signing, “Come, sign it here.”

 

Qi Yun nodded and signed his name very solemnly.

 

When the two came out of the marriage registration office, Qi Yun held the document bag containing their marriage agreement firmly to his chest. 

 

Xing Zhongwan was puzzled, “It’s just waste paper, why are you holding onto it so tightly?”

 

Qi Yun’s hands stroked the rough document bag, “This is not waste paper, one day I will make it real.”

 

The smile on Xing Zhongwan’s mouth gradually disappeared and he coughed awkwardly, “What did you promise your mother for her to be willing to play along with you like this?”

 

Qi Yun looked ahead, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, “Wanwan, this is just the beginning.”

 

Qi Yun returned to the villa and asked Xing Zhongwan to put the document bag in the safe. Xing Zhongwan closed the safe, “It’s not some valuable thing, is this necessary?”

 

Qi Yun lay on the bed and said, “It’s very important.” Xing Zhongwan didn’t want to discuss the importance of a few pieces of waste paper with him and stretched before going downstairs to get something to eat.

 

Qi Yun stopped him, “Wanwan, it was for real when I said we would go to Jiangnan. We will leave the day after tomorrow. I have asked Chen Ying to contact the hospital there. I can go to the hospital there for rehabilitation.”

 

Xing Zhongwan thought that he heard wrongly, “We’re really going? I thought you were joking.” As the Qingming Festival was approaching, he could also go back and worship his mother.

 

“Will your mother let you leave?”

 

 Xing Zhongwan expressed the doubts in his heart.

 

Qi Yun said, “Wanwan, help me up.”

 

Xing Zhongwan went to help him up and Qi Yun leaned against the bedside, “You know why she agreed to let me marry you?”

 

 Xing Zhongwan shook his head. He really didn’t know, although he was curious.

 

“If you were a woman, you might not be in this world anymore. Who is the fourth young master,  Qi? I know too well that someone useless won’t be able to hold up his own fight. My mother can’t rely on him, he is just a shield. What she needs most now is someone who can provide her an heir who she can control and this heir should preferably have the blood of the Shen family. My grandfather has too many grandchildren so this is the only edge she has in order to stabilize her power. “

 

Qi Yun stopped looking in Xing Zhongwan’s direction.

 

“I was abandoned by her. She will not place her hopes on me, but on my child. My child’s mother must be someone she personally picked to hold in the palm of her hand. Your sister Xing Zhongjie didn’t run away on purpose. When she made a deal with Xing Zhengping, she specified that she did not want a woman.”

 

“You can’t give birth to a child. Moreover, I like you. She went through with this farce just to appease my heart and earn my obedience in the future.”

 

Xing Zhongwan frowned, “Qi Yun, your deal with your mother is to give her a child?”

 

Qi Yun stretched out his hand and the bandaged hands stayed still in the air, waiting for Xing Zhongwan. Xing Zhongwan was stunned for a moment before taking a few steps to hold it.

 

Only then did Qi Yun’s face show a hint of relief, “I have to protect you, Wanwan, or she will take action against you sooner or later. You gain some and lose some. You should understand this truth.”

 

Xing Zhongwan’s face was gloomy and he could feel the cold hand he was holding through the bandage, “You have come to a decision so I can’t say anything. I will accompany you through this storm. Right now, I’m going to go downstairs to get you something to eat. Want to go together?”

 

Qi Yun nodded. Xing Zhongwan bent down and let Qi Yun climb onto his back. He couldn’t help saying, “Qi Yun, you’ve sunk low.”

 

Qi Yun put her arms around Xing Zhongwan’s neck, “Wanwan, I’ll have surgery after we return from Jiangnan. I want to see you. I want to see you so bad that I’m going crazy. My Wanwan must be the most beautiful person in the world.”

 

Xing Zhongwan was amused by him, “You’re right, I am good-looking, but not as good-looking as you. You look like when you were young. When I think about it now, I…”

 

Qi Yun snorted, “Have you seen me when I was younger?”

 

Xing Zhongwan was shocked and realized that he had run his mouth, “How is that possible? I was only imagining what you looked like when you were young. Hey, what do you want to eat tonight?”

 

He was quickly trying to find another topic to talk about.

 

The dirty little boy flashed in Qi Yun’s mind inexplicably. It was only for a moment before he had completely forgotten what the child looked like.

 

“When I’m healed, I’ll carry you through the path of Sycamore trees of our Qi family’s old house. All the daughter-in-laws of the Qi family are carried into our house like that.”

 

Xing Zhongwan stopped walking and had a worried face, “Hey, hey, have you had enough? Carrying me? Through a path of Sycamore trees? Not to mention, daughter-in-law? You really don’t know how to restrain yourself. Be careful, I might toss you away.”

 

After saying that he was about to let go, Qi Yun was not afraid and even leaned on Xing Zhongwan’s back, “My Wanwan is not such a person, you will not leave me.”

 

Black lines appeared on Xing Zhongwan’s face. Qi Yun, where did you get your confidence!?

 

Thinking like this, he tightened his grasp on Qi Yun’s leg a bit and went downstairs steadily…

 


T/N: I want someone to romatically carry me through a path of Sycamore trees too… Realistically, maybe a mechanical crane would have to do the work in order to lift such a heavy load. When I think about it, perhaps it’s not such a good idea after all.

Chapter 18 – How old is Lu Shifeng

Chapter 18 – How old is Lu Shifeng

 

Jian Luo turned around stiffly and sure enough, not far away, Lu Shifeng was standing there.

 

Lu Shifeng stood at the entrance of the potato base. The man leaned lazily against the door, his slender legs overlapped and his posture was languid. He slightly raised his phoenix eyes and those distant eyes met Jian Luo’s.

 

Jian Luo was ashamed.

 

His face was blushing and his neck was thick. He was so embarrassed that he could not wait to find a hole to hide in.

 

Wu Qiang was prideful. He finally found something to fight about and hurriedly walked in front of Lu Shifeng; “Sir, as you heard just now, that human being was really bold and dared to slander your reputation. I can’t listen to it anymore, please take it seriously!”

 

Jian Luo fell into a panic.

 

He never thought of this! Turns out that Wu Qiang was baiting him here this whole time!

 

Jian Luo hurriedly took a few steps forward towards Lu Shifeng. Before he could speak, he heard Lu Shifeng say, “Was this your urgent household matter?”

 

Jian Luo was stunned for a moment before he nodded stupidly: “Yes, yes.”

 

Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes: “You stood me up for this person?”

 

“…”

 

Don’t make trouble without reason!

 

I was just here to work!

 

Wu Qiang was even more confused when he heard this standing next to him. He originally wanted to fight, but after hearing what he said, does this mean that it was really possible that Jian Luo knew this lord?

 

Thinking of this, he panicked a little.

 

Wu Qiang stammered: “Sir, I…”

 

Lu Shifeng’s eyes sharpened as he glanced at him condescendingly, his voice cold: “Did I let you speak?”

 

Wu Qiang was stunned, Lu Shifeng’s aura was too strong. Just his eyes were so shocking that others would freeze on the spot and dare not speak.

 

Jian Luo was also standing frozen by his side.

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids to look at him: “You should speak up.”

 

“Well, my lord. I had no intention of standing you up. I came here in the first place to deal with some matters.” Jian Luo tried to reason with him: “Have you forgotten?”

 

The corner of Lu Shifeng’s mouth twitched into a sneer: “Are you saying that it was my fault?”

 

Jian Luo quickly corrected himself: “No no no, it’s my fault, my fault.”

 

Wu Qiang was still stunned, not knowing the truth.

 

Lu Shifeng finally turned his attention to him: “Earlier, what did you say he slandered me for?”

 

Wu Qiang could feel it.

 

In fact, the relationship between Jian Luo and the lord was not good. Otherwise, with Jian Luo’s character, why didn’t he complain to the lord as soon as he came up, but was being so polite?

 

Besides, if Jian Luo really had such a big shot supporting him, why didn’t he say it before?

 

To sum it up, the relationship between Jian Luo and this person couldn’t be a couple’s relationship at all.

 

Thinking of this, Wu Qiang became more courageous: “Sir, Jian Luo just said he is in an intimate relationship with you, but I realised that he was just using your name to gain some privileges for himself.”

 

There seemed to be a moment of silence in the air.

 

After a long time

 

Lu Shifeng raised his eyes and looked at Jian Luo: “Was that what you said?”

 

“…”

 

For a moment, Jian Luo thought about refusing to admit it, but after thinking about it, Lu Shifeng must have heard it from the door just now, so if he doesn’t admit it now, wouldn’t he be extra guilty?

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo had to bite the bullet: “Well, that’s what I said.”

 

Wu Qiang hurriedly followed up: “Sir, you see he just admitted it. You must deal with such dishonest people who spread false rumors.”

 

Lu Shifeng stood up a little bit. The man’s body was tall and straight, and he was more than half a head taller than Wuqiang. He raised his eyebrows: “I’ll use you to demonstrate to them how it should be done?”

 

Wu Qiang was stunned.

 

In the back, Lin Ze, the manager of the human base has also arrived at this moment. He found Lu Shifeng and was chasing after him in a panic. As soon as he came, he saw this embarrassing scene, especially after seeing that Wu Qiang was also here. It gave him an ominous feeling.

 

Lin Ze hurriedly said, “What’s the matter?”

 

With a shallow smile on Lu Shifeng’s elegant face, “Mr. Lin, you sure have some remarkable talent here.”

 

Lin Ze glared at Jian Luo immediately: “What’s going on!?”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened innocently: “Are you asking me?”

 

Lin Ze originally just wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson and show Lu Shifeng his power, but what he never expected was that he picked the wrong person.

 

Almost as soon as he spoke the words, Lu Shifeng’s brows furrowed and the temperature in the entire garden dropped by one degree.

 

Lu Shifeng looked at Lin Ze with a cold voice: “What are you calling his name for?”

 

Lin Ze shuddered and was so frightened: “I…I…”

 

Wu Qiang also saw the problem. It turns out that this Lu Shifeng really was Jian Luo’s big backer, so wasn’t he basically screwed now?

 

Thinking of this, he hurriedly admitted his mistake: “Sir, you have misunderstood. In fact, there were just some small problems between me and Jian Luo. Just now I was too blind to know know my place and didn’t know the relationship between you and him. I know that I’m wrong now, I know now.”

 

As he was talking, Wu Qiang faced Jian Luo again: “Jian Luo, Jian Luo, forgive me. I didn’t mean it, okay?”

 

Because Lin Ze came here, almost half of the people in the cultivation base gradually gathered around. Before, Wu Qiang had done a lot of bad things here, and they all didn’t expect him to be in such a pinch now. Almost everyone had been bullied by him before, and they all rejoiced in their hearts.

 

Jian Luo took a step back: “You don’t have to apologize to me, the person you wronged is my mother.”

 

Wu Qiang quickly looked at Su Liang.

 

Su Liang turned her face away and didn’t want to look at him again.

 

“Hmph.”

 

Wu Qiang actually knelt down. He kowtowed to Su Liang, raised his hand and slapped himself: “I’m sorry, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. I shouldn’t have tried to r4p3 you before and I shouldn’t have framed you for stealing things, let alone use power to suppress you, please forgive me.”

 

Crisp-sounding slaps resounded in the air. (T/N: The sound of Lin Ze – the manager slapping Wu Qiang)

 

Everyone was stunned.

 

As a manager, Lin Ze even reprimanded himself in his heart. It was not easy to have someone of Lu Shifeng’s level come to inspect the base. It was a great opportunity, but it was all ruined by a fool like Wu Qiang!

 

“That, my lord.” Lin Ze carefully considered: “Consider this…”

 

Lu Shifeng glanced at Wu Qiang indifferently, he didn’t even occupy a small space in his mind at all and he just said indifferently: “Don’t let me see him again.”

 

Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief: “Yes, yes.”

 

Even Wu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Lu Shifeng was a cruel and violent person. The person who offended him basically never lived till the next day. Just now, he almost thought he was going to die, but now he could still survive!

 

The farce was finally coming to an end.

 

Lin Ze wanted to continue to show Lu Shifeng around. When Lu Shifeng just passed by Jian Luo and Jian Luo bit the bullet, saying, “I may have to stay and go through with some formalities.”

 

Lu Shifeng left without saying a word.

 

Lin Ze also gave Jian Luo a meaningful look before leaving.

 

Afterwards, Jian Luo stayed behind to handle the resignation procedures for his mother. He knew that even if his mother resigned from here, the group of people in Peace Paradise who witnessed the scene with Lu Shifeng would feel hard-pressed not to share it.

 

After returning home at night, the first thing Su Liang did was: “Luoluo! Are you really a couple with him?”

 

Jian Luo confessed: “No, no, Mom. Do I have the capability?”

 

“Tell the truth!” Su Liang pulled him into the room and closed the door before raising her voice: “Do you know who he is? He is Lu Shifeng. What I told you before, have you forgotten? You, you… Did you really have sex with Lu Shifeng!?”

 

Lu, Lu Shifeng?

 

Jian Luo’s eyes widened and he laughed: “Mom, don’t make fun of me. Do you know how old Lu Shifeng is? He is six or seven hundred years old and has half a foot in the coffin. Look at the lord today, I think he is 30 at most.”

 

Su Liang was silent for a while: “Luoluo, the life expectancy of the dragon family is tens of thousands of years. If they are six or seven hundred years old in terms of human age, they are about the same age as you.”

 

“…”

 

There was a dead silence in the air.

 

Jian Luo recalled the conversation with Lu Shifeng on the battleship today and said slowly, “It seems that it’s me who’s got half of my foot in the coffin.”

Chapter 17 – Lu Shifeng is the boyfriend

Chapter 17 – Lu Shifeng is the boyfriend

 

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

 

Jian Luo was keenly aware that there seems to be something wrong with the current atmosphere. He was actually quite observant. Now it seems that the lord was in a bad mood?

 

But why?

 

It seemed to due to the question of whether Marshal Lu was old or not.

 

That’s right. Who liked to be told that their leader was old? Wasn’t the person who said it just waiting to be slaughtered?

 

Sure enough, he was stupid!

 

Jian Luo hurriedly covered it up: “I don’t think Marshal Lu is old at all. He is wise, valiant, and his style is still the same. He is an idol in the hearts of our people, and a wise Confucian lantern that leads the way forward!”

 

Lu Shifeng squinted his eyes. Slowly, an elegant smile was evoked from the corner of the man’s mouth and he said, “You haven’t seen him before.”

 

“…”

 

Nonsense, who had nothing better to do than to go and meet the legendary king of hell?

 

Jian Luo hesitated to answer: “This will not hinder the image of the Marshal in my heart.”

 

“Image?” Lu Shifeng raised his eyebrows: “I’m afraid you don’t even know what he looks like.”

 

Jian Luo’s eyes flickered as he casually said: “How can we small citizens have the honor to see the true face of the Marshal?”

 

Lu Shifeng tapped his fingertips: “What school did you graduate from?”

 

Jian Luo’s voice fell for a moment.

 

Lu Shifeng waited for a while, then raised his eyebrows impatiently: “Where?”

 

This man was someone who fought bloody battles in the orthodox battlefield. When his aura was spread out fully, it gave others an extreme sense of oppression, which made them subconsciously have to obey, without the slightest disobedience.

 

Jian Luo shivered all over as he racked his brains and finally remembered the name of the school that his younger brother had mentioned: “Clear Spring’s College.”

 

Lu Shifeng was slightly surprised: “It’s quite a famous school.”

 

“Well.” Jian Luo knew that the original owner of his body did well: “You have hit the jackpot. It was my honor to be able to enter Clear Springs.”

 

Lu Shifeng lifted his eyelids to look at him. The man’s eyes were pitch-black, and it was as if a dangerous fog was brewing in them. Seeing this, Jian Luo’s spine went cold and he was at a loss.

 

This was too difficult.

 

It’s so hard to talk to this man.

 

Knowing this, he might as well pack up and go to the base by himself. Staying here to chat with this lord was like being tortured on a fire stand.

 

Half an hour later

 

Lu Shifeng withdrew his gaze: “When working in the military, one should be careful with their words and deeds.”

 

Jian Luo raised his head: “Huh?”

 

“Otherwise.” Lu Shifeng paused, his voice lazy but dangerous: “Even I wouldn’t know how he died.”

 

The word “death” seemed to contain a murderous aura that was boundless.

 

Jian Luo shivered and quickly nodded like a primary school student: “I know, I know.”

 

Originally, he still had a little doubt about what his mother words said about the dangers of the military. Now he completely believes it. Like really, completely believes it. Lu Shifeng’s men are dangerous. It couldn’t be that Lu Shifeng himself must also have eaten people?

 

Sitting next to him, Jian Luo felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.

 

Lu Shifeng looked at the information in his arm and asked, “Someone in your family works at the base?”

 

Jian Luo nodded like he was pounding garlic.

 

“How is the environment there?” Lu Shifeng asked slowly, “How are the working conditions and status quo?”

 

“…”

 

How should I know this!?

 

Jian Luo casually thought up some perfunctory lines: “It’s okay, it’s all good. The folk’s customs are simple and everyone is rooted in work, 12% of it is devoted to cultivating vegetables.”

 

Although Jian Luo himself didn’t like that group of people very much, he couldn’t mess up a major event like this that could affect the future of mankind. If someone made a mistake, some of them will be punished, but all of mankind was relying on that base, so he must say a lot of good words.

 

Lu Shifeng nodded: “It seems that you take your work seriously and responsibly.”

 

Jian Luo pounded his head like garlic: “Naturally.”

 

As they talked, the place drew closer.

 

When the warship landed, Jian Luo was almost relieved. Now he would rather go out and chat with Wu Qiang than be happy here.

 

Lu Shifeng stood up and walked outside. The little Jian Luo followed immediately, only to see the hatch open slowly ——

 

“Welcome welcome, a warm welcome!”

“Welcome welcome, a warm welcome!”

 

Outside the warship stood a dark crowd of people, and against the wind there was a banner floating back and forth in the air, which read: [A warm welcome to the leader of the military for the base inspection].

 

Lu Shifeng glanced back at Jian Luo, as if he was teasing him a little.

 

There was quite a lively atmosphere outside.

 

Jian Luo couldn’t bear it and looked away. He really couldn’t take it any longer. He laughed twice: “As long as you like it.”

 

Lu Shifeng was about to go down, but Jian Luo didn’t follow.

 

The man stopped after two steps, and said in a low voice, “Follow me.”

 

Jian Luo pressed softly: “I’m not the leader of the inspection. It’s not appropriate to keep up, right?”

 

Lu Shifeng made an “en” sound.

 

Jian Luo let out a sigh of relief.

 

“If you don’t come down now, then don’t come down at all.” Lu Shifeng dropped the sentence and stepped down the stairs of the warship.

 

Jian Luo was shocked and compelled by his domineering aura. He stepped out hastily: “Coming, coming.”

 

Among the group of people below, Wu Qiang stood in the front row.

 

Wu Qiang, as the only representative of someone in the entire Peace Paradise who was married to a Dark Star, was honored as one of the people in the front row to welcome the guests.

 

As the people from the military got closer and closer, everyone drew their attention towards the person behind Lu Shifeng.

 

Finally, someone started muttering:

“Do you think that child looks a little familiar?”

“Why is he so similar to Luoluo?”

“I think it’s Luoluo!”

“Go quickly and call Su Niang!”

 

Wu Qiang, who was standing in front, was very displeased when he heard this, so he frowned: “What occasion was it right now, why are you talking about that here?”

 

Everyone shut up.

 

Wu Qiang lowered his voice: “How capable is Jian Luo that he can follow Marshal Lu? It’s just someone else who looks a bit similar, what’s the fuss about?”

 

When he said this, others slowly felt that this was also the case.

 

Finally, Lu Shifeng stopped in front of the leader of the cultivation base. The middle-aged man stepped forward: “Hello, sir. I’m Lin Ze, the leader of the base and I am honored to be able to receive you. It really makes our morale flourish!”

 

Lu Shifeng said lazily, “Well, take me in to have a look.”

 

Lin Ze made a “please follow me” gesture: “Okay, okay. Please come with me, sir.”

 

Jian Luo fell behind and had to follow. He regretted it in his heart. If he knew that it would be such a big scene, he would not come with the lord if it was all right. Once this was over, the whole Peace Paradise will probably know about it

 

Trouble will surely follow.

 

As Lin Ze walked, he also looked at Jian Luo. Hesitating, he asked: “Who is this?”

 

Behind Lu Shifeng’s, an adjutant said, “Do you have the right to inquire about people in the military?”

 

Ye Ze quickly corrected himself: “Yes, yes. What you said was just. It’s just that he looks a bit like a child I know.”

 

Jian Luo fell silent.

 

Originally, someone like him who didn’t have a job was not qualified to enter the base. Now that he was one of Lu Shifeng’s trusted entourage, he could come in for sightseeing. Moreover, the standard treatment was not low either

 

When Ye Ze led the landing and locked the visiting ship in the hangar, Jian Luo stood outside like a tool man and waited foolishly.

 

The adjutant came over and said, “Are you our chef?”

 

Jian Luo nodded.

 

“Then you…” The little adjutant glanced at him ambiguously before asking meaningfully, “Why did you come here with us?”

 

Jian Luo said honestly, “Because I was also headed here, the kind lord gave me a ride.”

 

The little adjutant nodded slightly.

 

In fact, he didn’t believe a word!

 

Was Lu Shifeng ever kind? This was today’s international joke.

 

Jian Luo’s information bracelet lit up. When he saw that it was a message sent to him by Su Liang, he said to the little adjutant, “I got a message from my family. I have something to do, so I will go over first. Can you let the lord know for me later?”

 

The little adjutant didn’t dare: “Hey, don’t leave yet, wait for the lord to come out…”

 

Jian Luo’s wristband was still ringing and he was a little anxious: “It’s okay, the lord knows that I’m here to deal with family affairs, so I’ll go first.”

 

After finishing his words, Jian Luo quickly ran away.

 

The little adjutant was stunned. His respect for Jian Luo suddenly surged like a river. He dared to stand Lu Shifeng up, the number one person in the universe!

 

On the other side,

 

The Potato Plantation.

 

Su Liang anxiously waited for Jian Luo to come over and said in surprise, “Luoluo, I heard them say…”

 

Jian Luo interrupted her first: “Mom, this is just a small incident, you don’t have to worry, I’m fine. Today, I’m here to handle your resignation and the incident with Wu Qiang. Don’t be afraid, after today, we will never come back again.”

 

Su Liang’s beautiful face was full of worry: “Forget it, the incident with Wu Qiang will pass.”

 

“No.” Jian Luo took her to the office: “For now, we can’t move away, so if we don’t finish this matter, we will never have peace in the future.”

 

In the planting base, anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from Peace Paradise. Only when Wu Qiang is dealt with, can their family be truly at peace.

 

“Yo, isn’t this Jian Luo?”

 

A harsh voice came from behind.

 

Jian Luo turned around, his face turned cold: “Wu Qiang.”

 

Wu Qiang’s appearance was still wretched, he touched his nose as he approached: “Hey, what is Jian Luo doing here this time, resigning for your mother?”

 

Jian Luo smiled and said: “The resignation is about to be done. Since you are here, I will also do it for you on the way, how about it?”

 

Wu Qiang’s expression changed: “Jian Luo, watch what you say.”

 

“I’ve been paying attention to what I’ve said.” Jian Luo stood up straight and did not change his expression: “For someone like you, this is already saving face for you.”

 

Wu Qiang: “What a sharp mouth. Did you know, we saw a person who looks just like you when we went to wait for the ship. They said that he looked like this? Were they okay? Were their brains conscious?”

 

Jian Luo sneered: “How do you know it’s not me?”

 

“Is it really you?” Wu Qiang smiled exaggeratedly and bent over, his ugly face full of irony: “Why don’t you piss off and take care of yourself first before hiding behind the lord. Oh yes, I remember the last time you said you had a boyfriend. What’s the matter? You wouldn’t also say that he’s your boyfriend too, would you?”

 

Su Liang was frightened after hearing this and pulled Jian Luo’s sleeve.

 

Jian Luo felt that the carefulness he had taken to come all this way with the marshal had finally come in handy. Didn’t the lord bringing him here give him some leverage?

 

A good trump card cannot be wasted and needs to be used!

 

Thinking of this, Jian Luo cleared his throat: “So what?”

 

Su Liang tugged at his sleeve again.

 

Jian Luo finally couldn’t bear it any longer: “Mom, don’t stop me, I’m just talking, if you have something to say, we can talk about it later.”

 

“No.” Su Liang finally found the opportunity: “Mom means that the lord has just arrived and has been watching!”

 

“…”

 

You could have mentioned this earlier.
