Chapter 39: When I become rich one day, you will marry me...

Hearing Xiang Liu's words, Zhu Huai suddenly felt like laughing, and he actually laughed: "Then I'll wait."

After he finished speaking, Xiang Liu's expression faded. He narrowed his eyes, carefully examining Zhu Huai before him. Suddenly, he said, "Dear, if that's the case, then if I do everything you ask, you must come to the Ghost Cavern and be with me forever."

Xiang Liu's voice was pleasant, and Zhu Huai, unsure of what was going on, reappeared on his face, a smile of determination. He was so gorgeous, his face identical to Xiang Liu's, yet possessed an indescribably intense aura, like a blooming Epiphyllum, that made Zhu Huai unable to look away.

Seeing this scene, Xiangliu's smile deepened. The rich red color seemed to turn into burning blood and fire, burning Zhu Huai's heart with the taste of sulfur and gunpowder.

This is not an illusion, but a real feeling of my heart being slightly moved.

Zhu Huai couldn't help but stretch out his hand and grasp the long sword. A crisp buzzing sound was heard, and Xiangliu's ability to confuse the mind was shattered by the clanging sound.

Zhu Huai breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect Xiang Liu to be able to bewitch his heart in such a way.

But this was also because he could not resist the temptation of Xiangliu's beauty. Zhu Huai felt helpless. Xiangliu was like a peacock with its tail spread out at this moment, and every word and action of hers was filled with extremely strong charm.

This kind of charm is almost impeccable, and it only blooms towards Zhu Huai. He knows his own appeal, and of course knows that Zhu Huai likes him like this, and skillfully uses this posture to seduce him.

Xiangliu blinked gently. He was enormous, his hair a fiery crimson, a deep red like blood. Even without the tiara, his dazzling red eyes still shone.

His figure was tall and slender, yet almost perfect, regal and majestic, casting a shadow that was enough to completely shroud Zhu Huai. Xiang Liu lowered his eyes and looked at Zhu Huai, his head tilted slightly upwards, with a hint of arrogance, like a pampered dragon god, yet revealing a hint of unrestrained wildness.

Zhu Huai's heart was pounding, he couldn't help but be attracted by the person in front of him. Zhu Huai even wanted to cover his chest, knowing that Xiang Liu must be able to feel the sound of his heartbeat. Could his heart not stab him in the back at this time?

When they should be confronting each other, his heartbeat betrays his feelings to his opponent. This is tantamount to surrendering in the battle and fleeing in battle.

Xiangliu's smile grew more smug, and he said, "Do you know Pixiu?"

Zhu Huai tried to suppress his heartbeat, but after trying for a while it was still in vain.

On the surface, he still looked calm and composed, holding the long sword in his hand with high spirits, his black eyes dazzling and sharp, and he was still not at a disadvantage in front of Xiangliu.

Xiang Liu couldn't take his eyes off him. His adopted wife was so adorable...

Zhu Huai said: "The Pixiu, also known as Tianlu, resembles a tiger, a dragon, and a unicorn. It is an auspicious animal that attracts wealth and treasures and wards off evil."

Speaking of this, Zhu Huai thought of the most famous feature of Pi Xiu, which is that it only takes in money but never gives it out, and wealth is not shown off. Zhu Huai looked at Xiang Liu in front of him. Could it be that he wanted to catch a Pi Xiu?

Xiang Liu said: "My golden appearance is like a Pixiu that can gather wealth."

Zhu Huai straightened up in an instant and said, "Do you know where Liu Xiang's gold is?"

The lungs are associated with metal, so if Liu Xiang's metal phase transformed into a Pixiu, then that would be perfectly reasonable. The Pixiu symbolizes wealth and fortune, and if Xiang Liu truly found his metal phase, then perhaps he could become rich overnight.

Zhu Huai heard Xiang Liu's unabashed laughter and said, "Of course I know where my Jin Xiang is. Fire overcomes metal. Once I find the Jin Xiang, it will never escape from my grasp."

His unbridled laughter even caused the entire dream to tremble. Xiang Liu said, "Once I obtain the Golden Form, no matter how wealthy my original form is, it will not be comparable to my wealth. Zhu Huai, when that time comes, you must come with me."

Zhu Huai thought that Xiangliu had found a gold mine and was ready to dig for treasure, make a fortune, and become a nouveau riche who would crush the old-established families.

He said: "After you get the gold phase, the first thing you do is to buy a house, a car, gold, silver and jewelry."

Xiangliu nodded slightly.

Zhu Huai said, "But there's still no takeout in the ghost den."

Xiangliu was silent for a moment. He suddenly wasn't as easy to fool as before: "Is takeout more important, or am I more important?"

Zhu Huai: “…”

He watched Xiangliu slowly approach, a brilliant smile on his face, as if glowing. As that flawless face slowly approached, Xiangliu said, "Takeout or me, who do you choose?"

Zhu Huai spoke with difficulty, retreating step by step under the temptation of beauty, but still holding on to the last bottom line: "You should make money first."

Xiangliu snorted softly, Zhu Huai's eyes rolled, and he said, "Xiangliu, I'm actually short of money too."

Xiang Liu looked at him and heard his contracted wife say, "You don't know, I'm actually a poor guy. What I said just now was a lie. I didn't make any money at all.

Now I am penniless, and I really need the Pixiu's power to gather wealth. Otherwise, can you tell me where your gold phase is?"

Xiang Liu listened to his words for a moment, then he smiled faintly, let Zhu Huai come closer, whispered softly in his ear, and said, "You wish."

He stretched out his hand and shattered the illusion in front of him, waking up the ruthlessly rejected Zhu Huai. He opened his eyes and looked at the little mermaid in front of him expressionlessly. After a moment, Zhu Huai said, "I didn't expect you to be such a stingy person."

Liu Xiang: “?”

After the joke, Zhu Huai's expression became more serious: "He is not joking. He may have really found your golden appearance."

Fire overcomes metal, so the metal aspect of the Pixiu may be unable to fight back against the Zhulong.

After mastering the Golden Phase, Xiangliu's combat effectiveness might be taken to a higher level. Zhu Huai was joking, but he knew very well in his heart that the conflict between Liu Xiang and Xiangliu had reached a serious level.

If Xiangliu is allowed to continue to develop, his situation will become more and more dangerous.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huai became a little puzzled.

Why would the organs of the original body kill each other? After all, they are still the same person, so why would they hate me so much? What good would that do?

Is it because Prime Minister Liu didn’t protect Zhu Huai in his previous life?

However, even Zhu Huai did not feel angry about this, but Xiang Liu blamed himself for it and behaved so extremely stubbornly.

Zhu Huai sighed and said, "Let's first recover your Wood Xiang as soon as possible." He pinched the little mermaid's face and said, "If your other incarnations also change their appearances like Xiang Liu, and change their names to backstab me, then I really can't do anything to you."

Compared to the missing Metal and Earth phases, the Wood phase, who had met Zhu Huai twice, is the easiest clone to find now.

Now, the ghost-swapping mission is almost completed, with only Lu Shuyin left. After finding him and the murderer behind the scenes, they will be able to bring Mu Xiang back.

I don’t know if Liu Xiang, who has regained his position, will change or regain his own memories.

This ghost body-swapping task has taken so long, it's really a headache. If Liu Xiang and Xiang Liu hadn't intervened in the middle, Zhu Huai would have completed the task long ago.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huai finally realized something belatedly: "Where did the big fat moth go?"

Yin Quan finally hummed at this moment: "You finally remembered me."

Its tone sounded a little aggrieved. When they were in the illusion before, Xiangliu had dragged Zhu Huai into the dream forcefully. Yin Quan cried out to heaven but no one responded, and his memory was suppressed along with Zhu Huai's. It was not until now, after leaving the ghost den, that he finally remembered Yin Quan.

Zhu Huai seemed a little guilty. He said, "I didn't know Xiang Liu would actually drag me into his dream and almost leave me in the ghost den."

The little fat moth also seemed a little frightened. "Yes, that's why I said Liu Xiang's mission was the most difficult to complete. Sigh." He said, "I almost thought I would have to change hosts again."

Both the man and the moth felt a little helpless in the face of Xiang Liu's strength. The little fat moth hung his head in frustration, then forced himself to cheer up: "It doesn't matter, Zhu Huai. The knife in your hand is called Shen Kun. It is a weapon that can kill ghosts and gods. With this knife, even if you face Liu Xiang, you will have a certain degree of self-protection power."

Although he could kill ghosts and gods and possessed extraordinary divine power, he could only protect himself in front of Prime Minister Liu.

Zhu Huai said, "Let's not talk about this for now. The two-star mission has not been completed yet. After completing the mission, can I gain more lifespan?"

"Of course." Yin Quan flapped his wings and nodded. "Not only that, killing evil spirits, punishing evil and promoting good, is also a way of practicing. You can look through the Heavenly Master Records. As long as you kill enough evil spirits, you can also get more gifts."

The road of cultivation is long. Zhu Huai's talent is almost terrifying, but he still has to practice slowly. It's not that he is not strong enough, but the enemies he is facing now are not sacrificial gods, but ghosts and gods that can turn the ghost den upside down. For Zhu Huai, this is also very difficult.

So now, he can finally bully those weak evil spirits.

Thinking of this, Zhu Huai couldn't help but smile.

He took out his cell phone and began to search for news about Lu Shuyin. It was worth mentioning that not long after he came to the Liu family, Liu Xiang was very sensible and installed an Internet cable in the ancestral home.

His internet speed was now so fast that it was practically taking off. If Zhu Huai wanted to, he could even build an e-sports room in the Liu family's ancestral home for him to play games.

However, Zhu Huai is not a person who is addicted to games, otherwise the Liu family's gods might be addicted to the Internet.

Lu Shuyin's information soon appeared in front of him. He was a little-known singer. His voice was not heavenly, but it had its own characteristics.

It is pleasant and pure, and the singing is crisp and melodious. It is obviously a very clear voice, but when you hear it, it gives people an inexplicable chill.

He has a great singing voice and outstanding looks, but he's just a pretty face. He has a pretty face and a good voice, but no talent for composing, and no acting skills to break into the entertainment industry.

After becoming a little famous in a singing competition, Lu Shuyin also tried to move up and use this wave of traffic to climb into the entertainment industry.

It's a pity that he has an ordinary family background, no talent, can only sing, and has an extremely twisted temper. He soon offended everyone around him.

There was a second episode of that variety show, and Lu Shuyin was originally invited to sing, but it turned out that he couldn't even compose his own music. There was another overseas returnee on the show who was also a good singer and talented, but he defeated him in the subsequent competition.

Originally, Lu Shuyin should have only won the second place, but the rookie was unlucky. She ate something bad the day before the final and her throat was completely damaged. She couldn't even speak.

Everyone thought it was just an accident, the rookie left the stage in disgrace, and Lu Shuyin became the first place. Unfortunately, this ranking did not satisfy the audience. Some people thought that Lu Shuyin had snatched the championship from someone else.

This is not wrong. Zhu Huai calculated with his fingers and found that he had already learned many secret methods from the Tianshi Lu and could observe the fate of others in some ways.

That newcomer should have achieved success, become an instant hit, and then slowly become a celebrity in the music scene over the years, creating many excellent songs, but all of that was secretly ruined by Lu Shuyin.

Not only that, Lu Shuyin even invited the other party to write songs for him later. Unfortunately, the rookie also had his own backbone. After rejecting Lu Shuyin, he went abroad directly, hoping to find a new way out.

Fortune-telling is an extremely mysterious thing. Zhu Huai seemed to have touched upon a part of the truth of the world, and he was touching those lines of fate and reading the secrets hidden within them.

This feeling was very magical. The feeling of being able to peek into the secrets of heaven and control one's destiny, as if being omnipotent, made Zhu Huai unable to stop. However, in the process, he also felt a hint of danger, as if he was walking on a tightrope and might fall off a cliff at any time and be swallowed by the strong wind below.

But if it wasn't so dangerous, how could it be considered a life-predicting technique that only a select few could master?

Zhu Huai took a deep breath and felt a little excited.

His first reaction was to try to find out the fate of Liu Xiang or Xiang Liu, but just as he was about to try, the cause and effect that came before him was as huge as an abyss.

If Zhu Huai was not a partner connected to Liu Xiang in life and soul, he would have been retaliated against the moment he had the idea. Liu Xiang's tyranny and cruelty were never just talk.

Since Liu Xiang can't bear to see his own, then he can at least see his own, right?

Zhu Huai looked up, but saw that his fate was covered by a shadow. He could not see the past clearly, and the future was also shrouded in haze. He looked carefully and found that according to the original trajectory, he should have died long ago.

Zhu Huai: "..." Then who is this person who is still breathing?

Thinking of this, he saw a faint luster flashing on the edge of his broken fate line. Zhu Huai looked carefully and saw that it was a ball of fine and crystal scale powder.

It was these scales that grasped these lines of fate and reconnected his destiny.

Zhu Huai already knew who that person was.

It’s Yin Quan.

Yin Quan was right. It was indeed he who used some method to save Zhu Huai's life.

Zhu Huai sighed and rubbed the little fat moth's head: "Thank you, Yin Quan."

Yin Quan, who was inexplicably taken advantage of, said: "...Buzz?"

Thinking about his experiences in his previous life, Zhu Huai seemed to understand something. He should have been dead, but Yin Quan extended his life and brought him back to life.

But if that’s the case, then what about Xiangliu, who keeps saying that he has memories of his past life?

But given that guy's personality, he wouldn't tell anyone even if Zhu Huai asked him.

snort.

Zhu Huai no longer cared about his own fate, but turned to look at Lu Shuyin's fate. After seeing this, he fell silent.

Lu Shuyin still did not gain popularity after participating in the singing competition. Although she did gain some popularity, it was a kind of black-and-white popularity.

He had no choice but to try to make some songs to prove his talent, but such behavior was soon exposed.

Because all his songs were stolen from other people, after being caught, Lu Shuyin had to pay money and retire, disappearing from the public eye.

This is probably the ghost with the most miserable life. Even after taking over another body, he cannot live the life he has always dreamed of.

Having wealth and glory, entering the entertainment industry and becoming a big star may be Lu Shuyin's dream.

So in order to fulfill this dream... he made a decision.

He clung to the thigh of a wealthy sponsor, lived off his wealth, and accepted his financial support.

Zhu Huai: “…”

Using other people's bodies to do this is simply...

This was not the most outrageous thing Lu Shuyin had done, because the identity of the financial sponsor was an alumnus whom Lu Shuyin had once known. They were childhood sweethearts. Of course, this Lu Shuyin was naturally the original owner of this body.

The senior had a good impression of the former Lu Shuyin and had promised to protect the original owner. By chance, the current "Lu Shuyin" got close to the senior and had been maintaining an ambiguous relationship with him in various ways.

But he was not satisfied with this, because "Lu Shuyin" was a straight man, and the senior had a domineering and indifferent personality. He seemed to feel that the current "Lu Shuyin" was a little different from his childhood playmate, and needed "Lu Shuyin" to coax and beg, and pretend to be the original owner, in order to barely get some funding.

This made him feel very wronged and humiliated.

So, while maintaining an ambiguous relationship with his senior, he also found a female college student and maintained an ambiguous relationship with her.

However, the senior student had an extremely overbearing personality. In the process of seeking excitement, "Lu Shuyin" did not dare to really do anything. She only chatted with the junior student occasionally.

Zhu Huai: “…………” This is simply, this is simply too outrageous.

This kind of relationship lasted for a long time, and finally today, the senior decided to confront Lu Shuyin and asked him to either make their relationship public or break up completely.

Seeing this, Zhu Huai took a deep breath.

That senior student met with a bloody disaster.

Because "Lu Shuyin" had no intention of doing anything with the senior, the ripples on the fate line formed pictures of the future, allowing Zhu Huai to see the ferocious expression of "Lu Shuyin".

He could even almost hear the other person's voice.

He was disgusted by this senior who only thought about the original Lu Shuyin and only cared about the friendship between them as childhood sweethearts. It was disgusting enough! It was really disgusting. He occupied Lu Shuyin's body, but not to become a gay for him!

So, in order to completely resolve this matter, "Lu Shuyin" made a decision: he no longer needed Lu Shuyin's body, he wanted to kill that senior, replace his body, and get the wealth and glory he wanted!

He sneaked up behind the senior and knocked him unconscious with a handkerchief when he was not paying attention.

What childhood sweethearts, what childhood innocence, what meeting old friends again after growing up and helping each other, it's so disgusting.

According to the original fate, there was less than an hour left before "Lu Shuyin" committed the crime.

Zhu Huai took a deep breath. He couldn't enter the ghost den for the cross-border parade now. If he entered the ghost den now, he might be captured by Xiangliu in the next second.

But he didn't have the senior's contact information or address. Zhu Huai searched for the information he could find and finally saw an ID in Lu Shuyin's follow list on a certain audio account.

He clicked on the ID and saw that the senior was still live streaming. He was concentrating on playing the game. His face on the screen was fair and beautiful, and looked very photogenic.

He seemed to have a lot of fans, but the atmosphere in this live broadcast room was different from others, because at this moment, the senior had just finished playing a game, then exited the interface and announced a news to the fans in front of the screen:

"I'm going to have a boyfriend."

Barrage: [? ]

【? ? 】

【???】

[The host must be joking.]

【Isn’t today April 1st?】

[So many fans are watching you play games, and you're halfway through and you're telling me this?]

"I'm serious." The senior looked cold and didn't seem to be joking. His fans basically knew his character. At that moment, some of the comments expressed surprise, some expressed disagreement, and some expressed understanding.

The senior didn’t seem to care much about these words. He was a man of his words and a bit of a self-centered person.

So in response to the fans' wailing, the senior simply said coldly: "However, he hasn't agreed yet. I am ready to confess to him. If he is willing, I will tell you the good news."

When he talked about his soon-to-be boyfriend, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes. The barrage of comments was filled with howling, and some even said that what he did was against the ethics of being a host. However, the senior student just frowned and kicked those people out.

"I'm just informing you that my personal feelings will not affect the content of my live broadcast."

After saying that, he prepared to move on to the next game, as if these words were just a cutscene, and they were said and that was it.

But at this moment, a barrage of images suddenly caught his eyes, causing him to frown.

Because the comment read: [Don't trust Lu Shuyin, you will be in danger of bloodshed, he is lying to you.]

Bai Qu frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across his eyes. His first feeling about this sentence was that someone had deliberately learned about his situation and was then using it to cause trouble.

He didn't just ignore that sentence, because only a very few people knew about him and Lu Shuyin, so... who on earth was it that told others about his affair?

The moment they saw this name, the barrage of comments exploded, because Bai Qu didn't deny it. He said, "Don't make such a joke."

He moved his fingers, blocked this person, and prepared to let others deal with it.

But as soon as he blocked one account, the other party's account was unblocked at an incomprehensible speed and reappeared in Bai Qu's live broadcast room.

"Listen to me, get up now and destroy the amulet in your locker. Lu Shuyin will come to see you in half an hour. He has a medical device in his car, ready to knock you out when you confess your feelings to him."

Bai Qu paused slightly, sneered, and blocked him again.

The next second, the account resurfaced in the comment section at ghostly speed. Bai Qu's expression froze for a moment, and he felt like he had encountered a ghost.

"Do you really not believe me? Do you really think the current Lu Shuyin is the same junior student you once knew? He's even forgotten the promise we made, and you still think he's the same person he used to be?"

Bai Qu's expression changed completely. He asked, "How did you know?"

[Trust me, do as I say. Go get the amulet and read the words on it before destroying it.]

A hesitant expression appeared on Bai Qu's face. He stood up, walked towards the cabinet, and took out the amulet.

No one knew what happened between Lu Shuyin and him, let alone that it happened more than ten years ago. He was the only one who knew that Lu Shuyin gave him a peace amulet, and what's more, he was the only one who knew where he put the amulet.

The live broadcast room was about to explode at this time, but Bai Qu didn't care for the time being. He opened the cabinet, took apart the amulet, and saw the words written inside. At that moment, the expression on his face changed.

When he returned to the live broadcast room, his eyes were full of suspicion, but he also felt something was wrong: "Who are you?"

At this moment, the doorbell of the living room rang, and several messages came from Bai Qu's phone: "Senior, I'm at your door."
