Chapter 28

Xiaoqi has seen too many human tragedies.

Deep in his memory, there was a clear image of mortals being tied to stakes and burned alive for making mistakes.

Screams, burning smell, twisted bodies.

Looking at the fire that was growing more and more intense, he could not find a way to escape from this body without any spiritual power.

A cold fear seized him.

"Gu An——"

"I raised you up! I taught you how to read and behave! Is this how you repay me?!"

The thick smoke made Xiao Qi cough violently, but he still couldn't stop his overwhelming anger and grievance.

"Ahem... you son of a bitch! You're so ungrateful! You're nothing like your honest father! You're so ambitious! You're so stubborn! Ahem... I'm so bored! I gave up a good night's sleep and wasted so many years with you in the human world..."

Tang An's brows furrowed more and more when he heard what the man who pretended to be Chi Ying said. In the end, he couldn't help it and poked Roy, who was eating melon seeds and watching the show beside him.

"What does he mean? He's trying to elevate himself?"

Roy spat out the melon seed shell, stroked his chin, and looked inscrutable. "Whoever is inside the shell, judging by the tone, this guy... well, subconsciously, might really want to be your father."

Tang An: “…”

He turned and looked towards the center of the field.

I saw Grandma He holding a bowl of water and dancing an ancient and mysterious dance around a person tied to a rack. She was muttering to herself with a solemn expression.

Miraculously, as she danced and chanted, the smoke from the burning purple leaves under the rack seemed to gather more tightly together.

Wrapped in thick smoke, Shen Qi's curses gradually faded away, and his head drooped.

Tang An thought.

Does it really work?

However, the next second, the head that was originally lowered suddenly raised up, penetrated the smoke and accurately locked onto Tang An.

Xiao Qi grinned: "Do you still want him to come back?"

Tang An's heart tightened.

He knew! The thing occupying Chi Ying's body knew of Chi Ying's existence!

Seeing that his expression had relaxed slightly, Xiao Qi continued to guide him, "Put me down. This body can't withstand your tossing and turning."

Tang An suppressed his surging emotions and spoke calmly, almost cruelly, through the choking smoke: "I just want Chi Ying to be returned to me intact."

Xiao Qi was choked by the increasingly thick strange smoke, tears streaming down his face, his lungs burning: "First... cough cough... put me down first, this damn smoke... cough cough cough..."

Tang An was still a little hesitant, his mind telling him that this might be a trick of the other party, but looking at the face that was blackened and twisted in pain from being smoked, he couldn't bear to sit idly by and watch. He quickly stepped forward and interrupted Grandma He who was immersed in her ritual.

"Grandma He! The fire seems too big!"

As soon as Tang An rushed to the fire, he was choked by the thick smoke and started coughing. His face was instantly covered with black ash, making him look miserable.

He didn’t care about himself, pointing at Shen Qi on the shelf with an urgent tone.

"Look, he's dying! Can you put him down first?"

Before Grandma He could say anything, Old Man He, who was watching the fun from a distance, burst into laughter with his hoarse voice: "Hey, Tang boy! Your face... looks like a little cat that has crawled into the stove! Hahahaha..."

A small wooden stick flew from somewhere and hit Mr. He's head accurately, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

Looking at the shelf again, Shen Qi's head had tilted and he had completely fainted.

It seems that he was really suffocated.

Grandma He's expression finally changed. Without the slightest hesitation, she pulled her husband, who was rubbing his head with a grin, and said, "Quick! Go fetch some water!"

The two of them quickly rushed to the old well not far away.

A few buckets of cool well water were poured over his head, and the fire that almost cost him his life was finally put out.

Tang An and Old Man He worked together to quickly take the limp Chi Ying down from the wet rack and laid her flat on the ground.

Grandma He handed a clean towel to Tang An, and then used the wet towel to wipe the person lying on the ground.

"It seems like the dose was too high this time." Her voice was very calm, as if she could sit still even if the sky fell.

Grandpa He interrupted, "Tang boy, I'm old and my senses aren't as sharp as they used to be. That's why I told you to come to me. I don't need to fan the flames, just let some blood out."

Tang An: “…”

I can’t come to you because I need to bleed!!!

Just at this moment, He Chenzhou and Roy finally brought over the saint who had just finished a long sacrificial ceremony.

Xiaoyu, wearing elaborate silver jewelry, rushed to the scene and saw: "Tang An, you should have come to me sooner! Grandma He's method of burning leaves is so outdated and should have been eliminated long ago! If I take action, I will just bury the person in the ground for 24 hours, guarantee..."

Tang An: “…………”

OK, I know what I mean. You guys, these so-called hidden masters of the Shenshan tribe who look so impressive, are actually just half-baked quacks and feudal superstitious, right?!

He refused all of them without hesitation: "I want to take him to the psychiatric department of the Second Provincial Hospital."

The Saintess, the Banishing Woman, and the Clan Leader of the Shenshan Clan all said in unison, "No!"

Xiao Qi, who had been pretending to be dead and listening to the whole thing, finally couldn't help but sit up and said, "Yes! Go to the Second Provincial Hospital! I want to go to the Psychiatric Department of the Second Provincial Hospital! I don't want to stay here anymore!"

How terrifying! These mortals with mental problems are even more terrifying than the gods in the Ninth Heaven!

If he went to the Second Provincial Hospital, Tang An would have to return the same way.

Bu Suanzi's instructions reminded him.

Before this Friday...

Today is already Wednesday, and there are less than two days left until the time that Bu Suanzi said.

Tang An has two choices.

First, send the person to the hospital for examination. If he really has split personality or concussion and amnesia, he should stay in the hospital for treatment.

The second option is to simply ignore Chi Ying now, and wait until you get to the place Bu Suanzi said, and then go to his highly respected master to see him. If he can really see something, Chi Ying might be saved.

Thinking of this, Tang An suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.

What kind of crap is this?

His eyes were hot, his nose was sore, and the towel in his hand was suddenly taken away.

Xiao Qi used it to wipe the stains on his face: "Let me be frank, you must provide me with good food and drink, otherwise I won't help you."

Tang An's forehead twitched.

Xiao Qi wiped it and threw it away, then stood up and stretched lazily: "What nine heavens and eight heavens, none of them are as comfortable as your grandfather's cold pond earthen hut. I'm sleepy, please stop bothering me."

Tang An expressionlessly picked up the dirty towel that had fallen on the ground, rolled it into a solid ball, and slammed it hard on the back of the man's head. "Go to sleep! Now! Immediately! Go pack your bags! And then go find Bu Suanzi and the others!!"

What to choose or not to choose, whether to be entangled or not.

This guy is Ji Ying, don’t think you can get away with it by pretending to be crazy or having amnesia!!!

Don’t even think about it!!!

The setting sun completely sank into the horizon, and dusk fell.

Xiao Qi, who was carried by Tang An by the scruff of the neck and stuffed into the passenger seat, shrank in the seat in a state of shock.

The car door slammed shut, shaking the car body.

Tang An opened the door and got in the car quickly, starting the engine: "Fasten your seat belts."

Xiao Qi looked around in confusion: "Seat belt? What is that? Where is it?"

Tang An, holding back his remaining temper, pointed to the right side of the passenger seat and said, "On the right, see that long strap? Pull it over and insert it into the buckle."

Xiao Qi looked in the direction of his finger, still looking confused: "Strap? Buckle? I haven't seen it..."

Tang An couldn't stand his innocent and ignorant look, and his anger was rising, as if Chi Ying had really become a fool with intellectual degeneration.

He leaned over, almost pressing on Shen Qi, and stretched out his arm roughly, yanking the seat belt to its longest length with a swish. The metal buckle made a crisp click, almost thrusting it in front of Shen Qi's eyes: "See?! This is the belt! The seat belt!!"

Xiao Qi was a little unhappy and frowned, "I told you long ago that you have a bad temper and are not suitable for cultivating immortals. Look at you now..."

Tang An expressionlessly loosened his seat belt, and with a whoosh, he bounced back with a strong gust of wind.

Xiao Qi was so frightened that he leaned back quickly, and his head hit the headrest hard. He stared at the belt that almost ruined his handsome appearance in shock.

Tang An sneered and sat in the driver's seat for a while: "Xiu your mother, Xiu Chiying, stop pretending. You are satisfied with being an ancient style young man, right?"

Shen Qi was filled with shock and anger, his expression completely gloomy: "After thousands of years of not seeing each other, you have developed such a violent, perverse and disrespectful temperament?!"

Although he couldn't understand the meaning of some words, he could clearly feel the undisguised contempt and self-evident offense in the other party's words!

Gu An was raised by him. The child had a bad temper and would occasionally talk back, but he always had a sense of awe for his adoptive father deep down.

Even if we break up later, I will never be as rude and disrespectful as the person in front of me.

Xiao Qi, a dragon, has lived for thousands of years. He has read countless storybooks and learned a lot of swear words. But when he really wanted to curse, his face turned red and he pointed at Tang An's nose and kept saying "you...you..." for a long time.

In the end, he uttered the harmless word "unfilial son"!

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as he heard the word "unfilial son", Tang An instantly remembered that he had been scolded by the other party by the fire because of his generation.

New and old grudges surged in his heart. He unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over again, and grabbed Xiaoqi's collar.

"Unfilial son?" Tang An's voice dropped dangerously low. Their faces were instantly so close that their breathing could be heard.

Xiao Qi looked at the lips that were suddenly approaching, his mind went blank and he was completely dumbfounded.

This, this, this, this...

Seeing that the other person was motionless, Tang An continued to speak in a shocking manner: "Chi Ying, you are satisfied with being a father, right?? Okay... Dad! Dad!"

Shen Qi was so shocked by the sudden call of "Dad" that he stammered, "Wh...what ba ba?"

"Dad, Dad, ah."

Tang An looked at his stupid look and suddenly raised the corners of his lips in a malicious way.

"Don't you like it? Don't you force me to call you that every time we fuck in bed?"
