Pre-order novel: “This Male Lead is a Bit Crazy!”

Wu Yue opened a book and signed a contract with a system as a newcomer. Her task was to travel to small worlds and play the rol...
Chapter 54: Urban Supernatural 6 Shocking
Chen Qi had been on guard the whole time, but he didn't expect that this "noise" was really just noise, so he didn't jump out to stop it.
They arrived home safely, the wind was calm, the trees were still, and the gloomy weather remained unchanged.
He didn't know if it was because of the paper figurines his grandfather had left behind, or because of Wu Yue beside him. But he knew that he was the one being protected, and this made Chen Qi feel very uncomfortable.
Wu Yue felt that she was now retaliating to compensate herself for the twenty-two years of suppressing her desire to play games.
After returning, she changed into a new set of clean and comfortable cotton clothes, held her mobile phone, and lay on the bamboo rocking chair to continue playing games.
Seeing Chen Qi sitting next to her, peeling melon seeds with a look of deep thought on his face, his mind already wandering. She took a moment to glance at him and urged, "What are you thinking about? Go and make dinner."
She had taken too much Sun and Moon Essence, and now she wanted to eat hot meals, which she would only have for a month.
"Master, are you hungry?" Chen Qi glanced at Wu Yue's flat belly. He had been talking non-stop on the way back.
But thinking that Master wasn't a human, he shouldn't mind eating as much as he wanted. Chen Qi stood up and said, "Then we'll have sweet and sour pork ribs tonight. Master, are there any other dishes you'd like to try?"
Wu Yue had ordered the spare ribs at the market. Coincidentally, Chen Qi also knew how to make them, having learned how to do so in the school cafeteria.
Kali is not short of money, but Chen Qi has been used to being hardworking since he was a child. In his opinion, only by being hardworking can one have food to eat.
He was also good at studying, so he had more free time, which he branched out into other things. He worked part-time in the school cafeteria because the private owner of the job was his roommate's parents, so he went there to help out.
Wu Yue didn't look up, she was busy continuing to study her Candy Crush game, "Yeah... and salt and pepper chicken wings."
"Okay." Chen Qi shook his head and smiled.
He peeled a small plate of melon seeds. There were also peanuts and a lot of snacks on the plate, all of which were Wu Yue's favorites.
Chen Qi nagging, "Master, I put the watermelon in the refrigerator. It has been cut into slices. If you want to eat it, just go and get it."
He was very careful and considerate in his work, and it was also because he wanted to be good to Wu Yue, even better. After all, it seemed that there was nothing worth remembering in his life now, only her.
In Chen Qi's eyes, they are now in a "mutually dependent" relationship, and they need each other's warmth more than anyone else.
Wu Yue just said "hmm" twice randomly.
By the time Chen Qi finished preparing dinner, night had fallen and black fog had enveloped the village and the hillside fields outside the door.
The lights under the eaves were bright, and the sound of Wu Yue playing games reduced the loneliness and added a coveted warmth.
"Master, come and have dinner." Chen Qi set the table and was helpless when he saw that Wu Yue hadn't moved yet.
Wu Yue was very angry, "I won't eat!"
Chen Qi asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong? Do you have a poor appetite?"
That shouldn’t be the case. He ate all the snacks on the table and a plate of watermelon in the refrigerator, and he didn’t seem to have a poor appetite at all.
"...This is, the game failed?" Chen Qi walked over and looked down to see the big words "Failed" on the interface.
That's right. As a teacher, Wu Yue was a little reluctant to admit it, but she nodded and said truthfully, "There's something wrong with this game. I paid for it but still can't pass it."
She is stubbornly cute. Sin, how can I say that the master is cute? But, it really makes people soft-hearted.
Because she is angry, her red lips are pouting and her cheeks are slightly puffed up, showing her depression. People who care about her will carefully observe every change in her expression, which is very smart and cute.
Chen Qi smiled, his eyes like a big puppy's, and when he smiled, he looked very young. He agreed, "Well, Master is right. Every game has its own mechanism, and the backstage will manipulate the winning rate. But there is a way to pass it."
Wu Yue raised her eyes to look at him, "What method?"
From Chen Qi's angle, he could see that when she raised her head, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were wide open, her thick eyelashes were blinking, and her two braids were hanging in front of her chest, which was very charming.
After taking off her complicated golden phoenix skirt, she looked naturally noble, like a royal princess, despite her young age.
The braid was done by Chen Qi. Wu Yue's hair was too long and thick, so no matter how she tied it, it would make her head feel heavy and uncomfortable. It was more convenient to braid it.
Chen Qi's fingers hanging on the side of his pants moved, and he really wanted to touch her head, but he didn't dare. For such an offensive act, he would definitely be beaten with a rattan stick by his master.
Well...it doesn't matter if I get beaten. As the saying goes, beating is love and scolding is care. When the master beats him, it means he loves him.
"Eat first. After dinner, I will tell the master what to do." Chen Qi was like a serious parent. Meals were the staple food, and snacks were not allowed to be eaten as meals at night.
Wu Yue was a little angry, "Chen Qi!"
The apprentice even starts to control his master.
"Master, smell it, does the food smell good? There's no rush for the game, but the salt and pepper chicken wings won't taste good if they get cold." Chen Qi smiled and bent down, getting very close to her.
This... seems to be the case. Wu Yue found that she had become childish. It was all because of the system that made her hold it in for twenty-two years.
Wu Yue glanced at him sideways, handed in her phone, and went to eat honestly. Her eyes were indeed tired after looking at the screen for so long.
After dinner, it was Chen Qi's study time again. This time, it was Wu Yue who became serious.
He is really talented. The paper figures he cuts out look very realistic, and if you look closely, you can see that they have a bit of spirit.
He also wrote talismans, studied the compass, and even studied feng shui by counting on his fingers, and he spoke very convincingly about it.
This kind of learning talent is rare. Even without the halo of the protagonist, he will still be very powerful in the future.
But there are both good and bad sides. The protagonist's halo may protect him from death, but he is also losing things along the way. Isn't this a kind of heartbreak?
Chen Qi picked up his pen and studied it, muttering to himself and calculating with his fingers. He frowned, "Master, this is the death gate."
"The location here is like we are living in a tomb. There are death gates on all sides and no escape."
He was very good at applying what he had learned. After observing the surrounding terrain, he came to a more or less correct conclusion. Moreover, Chen Qi had a bad feeling. He couldn't explain it, but he felt uneasy inside.
"Master, let's leave." Chen Qi put down the brush dipped in cinnabar that he was using to outline the paper figure, looked at Wu Yue seriously and said.
Wu Yue was surprised by his intuition, but she wouldn't tell the truth. "Everything is born in opposition to each other. If there is a door of death, there will be a door of life. Leaving here will actually lead to the real door of death."
"But..." Chen Qi was still nervous. He felt as if he had touched an invisible door that led him to the threshold of becoming a sorcerer.
But to open this door, it seemed like something would be lost. This was the source of Chen Qi's uneasiness. He used his own calculations, but others couldn't calculate themselves, so he only saw a hazy blur. The only feedback he got was his restless heart.
Wu Yue interrupted him coldly.
"No buts. The only thing you need to focus on now is mastering a certain level of self-protection in a short period of time. You only have one month, and I won't delay."
She couldn't delay it, because according to the plot, she would be offline soon. Wu Yue didn't want the male lead to die with her without learning any skills.
Chen Qi had no choice but to swallow back what he wanted to say.
"Master, I understand."
He had a strong intuition that his master was hiding something from him, but if his master didn't tell him, he wouldn't know.
This situation continued for some time afterwards.
He discovered that his master would go out at night and come back later and later. The last time he came back was in the early morning. His face was pale and his body was getting weaker day by day. This showed that the things he faced were becoming more and more difficult.
Knowing that Wu Yue kept it a secret from him because she didn't want him to worry, Chen Qi had no choice but to hide in the dark and observe, and after she left, he pretended to be asleep and unaware of anything.
The food they bought for the first time was enough to last them for a month. Life was peaceful at home, and there was no sound. That meant that the master had been out getting food.
His heart was in agony, and he really wanted to help, rather than become a useless drag.
Sometimes he wondered why his grandfather had to hide things from him. In Chen Qi's eyes, the best protection was not to keep him in the dark, but to tell him the truth and let him learn to protect himself.
But he also knew his grandfather's good intentions. He simply wanted him to avoid danger and live a normal life. If he embarked on this path, there would be no turning back. He would not go on this path unless it was absolutely necessary.
This also led to the fact that the only thing Chen Qi could do now, besides being secretly anxious, was to study day and night.
Although he has lost weight, he looks energetic, which shows his excitement about his academic achievements.
Chen Qi let go, and a paper butterfly in his palm flew away, as if it were alive.
He didn't have his eyes painted, this was just the spiritual energy brought by his own practice.
Chen Qi wanted to share his excitement with the person he cared about most, "Master, Master, look, the butterfly can really fly!"
But I haven't received the same response as before.
Chen Qi looked back in confusion and saw that Wu Yue had fallen asleep in the rocking chair. Her face was a little pale and her breathing was very light.
She was sleeping so soundly that if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of her chest, one would have thought she was dead.
Chen Qi tiptoed to her side, squatted down, looked at Wu Yue's tired sleeping face, and touched her cheek lightly with his fingertips, very gently.
"Master..."
Only when she didn't know would Chen Qi dare to reveal his love with a foolish look in his eyes.
Just as he was about to pick up Wu Yue, he saw that she was sleeping too deeply and did not respond. His arm slipped down, causing his sleeve to pull up, and he saw that her forearm was like a dead branch, without flesh and blood, only solidified skin and bones. If the wind blew, it would turn into powder and disappear.
Chen Qi's eyes were bloodshot and his breathing was almost stopped. With trembling hands, he carefully lifted up Wu Yue's clothes and saw that other parts hidden under the clothes were also like this.
It was shocking, and it made him so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. And, an intense hatred burned in his heart.
Chen Qizuan clenched his fists, veins popping out on his forehead as he tried hard to hold back the tears that were welling up in his eyes.
Because he was holding the scissors to cut paper, he was not used to it at first and would hurt his hand. Now the wound where his nail dug into his palm was torn and bleeding, but Chen Qi did not feel any pain.
However, when he held Wu Yue's arm and bent down to give her a light kiss, he noticed with his sharp eyes that the blood flowing from his palm was absorbed when it touched Wu Yue's skin, and then, Wu Yue's body began to improve.
This discovery made Chen Qi overjoyed.
"Master, Master..." He called out softly several times. Seeing that Wu Yue still hadn't woken up, Chen Qi carried her back to the room.
He turned and went out, and when he came back he brought a basin of water with a towel, a sharp knife, and tools for bandaging wounds.
"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that, but I had no choice..." Chen Qi took off Wu Yue's clothes with trembling hands, then wrung out the towel and gently wiped her body.
Chen Qi was not a vulgar person who would look around casually if he had the chance, but the beautiful body was lying right in front of him, and it was covered in blood. He was not blind, so it was hard for him not to see it.
Although he could do it with his eyes blindfolded, he had to make sure that his master's condition had improved.
Moreover, at this time, Chen Qi had no messy and beautiful thoughts in his mind.
After wiping his master's body clean, he held the knife and cut a big cut on his palm without hesitation. When he saw the blood flowing out, he smeared it on Wu Yue's body.
Seeing that her skin had truly absorbed the blood, Wu Yue's breathing became better than before. Although Chen Qi's face grew paler due to excessive blood loss, he smiled with relief.
As long as his master can get better, he is willing to give any amount of blood.
Outside, the waning moon was shrouded in red mist, and the wind was still.
"Huh..."
Deep in the forest, as heavy footsteps landed on the ground, the ground shook, and a flock of birds fled in panic.
Huo Xianko held a cigarette in his hand and watched the images on the monitor screen.
The huge monster tore open the retaining wall made of vines with its bare hands and headed towards Chen Qi's home. Wherever it went, the paper figures in the formation that were controlled by it were torn to pieces.
The skinny old man who controlled the monster held a red rope in his hand, with a puppet strung on the red rope.
Huo Xianke narrowed his eyes and said impatiently, "Tomorrow is the last day and it will be a month in a row. The half month you mentioned has already been broken."
Fighting was exhausting, and the skinny old man became even thinner. His eyes looked like a monster. "Mr. Huo, according to your investigation, you didn't tell me that Chen Qi was protected by masters."
I should have thought of it earlier. Old Craftsman Chen is cunning and treacherous. He has been fortune-telling for half his life. It is impossible for him not to know what his grandson will face after his death. He must have a backup plan.
Huo Xianke glanced at him coldly and said, "My patience is limited. If I don't succeed tomorrow, the deal will be void."
The people he brought with him all had weapons in their hands, so they were not afraid even when facing strange people with strange methods.
But as a businessman, he gave enough face and did not want to conflict with capable people.
The skinny old man smiled sinisterly, "She's already at the end of her rope. The mission will be over by tomorrow at the latest."
Huo Xianke rolled his Adam's apple and puffed out smoke, and Wu Yue's face and figure appeared in front of him, both of them were particularly charming.
He said, "If you capture her alive and bring her to me, I'll give you another 100 million."
"Two hundred million"
"good"
The skinny old man laughed, "Boss Huo will also have a day when he can't resist the temptation of beautiful women. He is willing to spend a fortune on beautiful women."
Two hundred million is not a small amount.
Huo Xianke was not angry at his joke, his eyes were slightly narrowed, full of anticipation.
As long as he has money and status, he doesn't lack women, no matter how fat or thin they are, and any kind of woman will come when he just waves his hand.
Huo Xianke started playing when he was a teenager. When he was playing the craziest, he got into a lot of trouble. But after playing for a while, it became boring. At this age, he is even more bored with it.
But now, he didn't want to play with her and then throw her away when he got tired of her. Instead, he wanted to get her, both physically and mentally.
As the young master of the Huo family, Huo Xianke seems to be elegant, but in fact he is arrogant. There is nothing or anyone he cannot get since he was a child.
The same is true this time.
