Chapter 55 Chapter 55: It's okay to be jealous

It feels good to be mean, and it feels good the more you keep talking mean. After Qin Sheng accidentally let out the nickname of his wife, seeing that Xu Zhaoyi didn't have any special reaction, he completely let himself go.

Xu Zhaoyi stood at the door and shook his head helplessly, but he didn't seriously say that it was forbidden to call him that.

Of course, in his own eyes, he was just indulging his boyfriend's nonsense, and he did it willingly.

Qin Sheng has no close friends, and all his relatives are sucking his blood. They can be said to be villains. I am the only person he can joke with so brazenly. It's just a name that cannot represent the actual situation. What's wrong with letting him do that?

"Why are you here so late at night?" He walked slowly to the seat next to Qin Sheng and sat down. The embarrassment of biting Qin Sheng's lip a few days ago had mostly dissipated after not contacting him for a few days.

"If you don't go home, I will have no choice but to chase you and coax you." Qin Sheng deliberately skipped the key point of 'late at night'.

Maybe it was because he spent several days modifying the fan to please others, and after it was completed, he couldn't wait to show the effect to Xu Zhaoyi. This kind of thing made him seem too unstable, so he didn't want to say it.

And he couldn't explain why he had the ability to transform a high-level magical weapon.

"Look!" He handed over the fan.

"Is this the thing you said, maybe it can help me break through the ninth level of Qi Refining?" Xu Zhaoyi took it curiously, and immediately found that this golden fan was not light and was more suitable for the hand than he had imagined.

After realizing this, he looked at Qin Sheng deeply. If he remembered correctly, when he just entered the door, he saw Qin Sheng holding this fan and spinning it around easily?

This was not the first time he discovered that Qin Sheng's strength was completely inconsistent with the physical fitness of a sickly person.

If he had not scanned and found out that Qin Sheng's physical condition was indeed not good, and had not felt the coldness of his whole body when he was sick, he would have suspected that Qin Sheng was faking illness.

"It's called the Fiery Golden Fan. Do you want to try it?" Qin Sheng saw that he suddenly became dazed, and reached out and gently tapped his forehead.

If it were before, he would never do such a move, at most he would just wave it in front of Xu Zhaoyi, but recently he has become accustomed to the intimacy of their body temperatures overlapping.

A hug is an interaction between two people. How could it be possible that Xu Zhaoyi was the only one who was tamed in those seven days?

Xu Zhaoyi touched his forehead, which didn't hurt much, but didn't feel anything. He held up the fan and asked, "How do I try?"

Qin Sheng thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to burn down the entire building, you have to do it in an open area."

This new headquarters was originally a theme park with a hotel. It went bankrupt due to poor management and was acquired by Qin Sheng in the name of Tang Ling. After some modifications, it was used as the new territory of Southern Buddhism.

Qin Sheng was very satisfied with this place. It covered a vast area with a large open space for practicing martial arts, a running water source, and spiritual plants that could be grown around it.

Spiritual plants cannot survive in the Dharma-Ending Age, but it is a different matter if they are watered with spiritual water. However, seeds are rare, and I wonder if the Qin family can find some in their collection.

"Then let's go to the martial arts field!" Xu Zhaoyi pulled him out.

There was a really large open space on the other side of the martial arts field, with no vegetation covering it and not even cement on the ground. It was originally the place where the theme park held bonfire parties.

When the two arrived here, Xu Zhaoyi opened the golden folding fan and injected his magic power into it. A layer of sparks attached to the surface of the fan. He gently waved it towards the sky, and sparks poured out continuously. Under the night sky, they gathered into a huge golden crow with flames all over its body. It spread its wings and flew around the entire martial arts field, which was very magnificent.

In an instant, the entire garden was illuminated as bright as day, startling all those who had not yet gone to bed and making them run out to see what was happening.

Fortunately, most people recognized Su Cizhao's unique trick - the fireworks sparkling with starlight were so special that they did not cause panic among everyone in the middle of the night.

"Young couples are so careless when it comes to love." Feng Lili put down the telescope, yawned, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice. She had just lay down when there was a doomsday-like noise outside. She could only crawl to the top floor to check the situation.

Raphael and Ligia were also not asleep, and were gathered on the top floor like her.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Ligaya, more romantic than she, said, "Is that the phoenix you know from legends? I heard it can be used to express love. It's truly breathtaking!"

Feng Lili corrected seriously: "No, that is the Golden Crow." She saw it clearly with three legs.

Raphael smiled without saying anything, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes that came out from yawning, and went down to inform everyone that it was indeed his boss who caused the commotion, and they could go back to sleep.

The noise behind gradually faded away, and Xu Zhaoyi finally came back to his senses from the shock of seeing such a magnificent scene up close.

He put away his folding fan, and the figure of the Golden Crow disappeared in an instant like a firework as he moved, and the night sky returned to tranquility.

"How is it? Do you like it?" Qin Sheng asked behind him.

Xu Zhaoyi took a deep breath and turned around and said, "Why ask when you already know the answer? No one can dislike it."

Just like he couldn't deny that he liked Qin Sheng, no matter how hard his heart was at first, it would become as soft as silk under the other party's gentle and silent invasion.

His voice was a bit overwhelmed, someone not good at handling emotional scenes. "If I say I want to go back to practice now, will it spoil the mood?"

"Of course not." Qin Sheng laughed. He was not deliberately creating a romantic scene to win the heart of a beauty. Although he came here impulsively, he also had a purpose. Now both goals have been achieved.

Xu Zhaoyi was obviously coaxed the moment she saw him. Well, she is a very easy-to-coax wife.

The second question is whether the Blazing Golden Fan can help Xu Zhaoyi break through. Xu Zhaoyi's words are the answer.

"But I can't go into seclusion now." On the way back, Xu Zhaoyi realized that he might not be free during this period.

Qin Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "You can. I will ask another helper to come back and take charge during this period."

"Is it reliable?" Xu Zhaoyi originally wanted to ask Qin Sheng where he got the other helpers, but before he could say anything, he suddenly remembered that he had suspected that there was another force behind Qin Sheng from the beginning, otherwise there was no way to explain the spiritual energy he took out and the existence of noodles.

But he thought it was some kind of scientific team, just like what Qin Sheng had said to Raphael, possessing spiritual energy purification technology or something like that. In short, their combat power must not be very good, otherwise why didn't Qin Sheng use this power to directly destroy the Qin family's forbidden area?

But unexpectedly, Qin Sheng said, "Well, he has the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining. You can go into seclusion with peace of mind."

That’s right, Qin Sheng was planning to change his identity and come on his own. He couldn’t let other things slow down Xu Zhaoyi’s cultivation progress, as that would be putting the cart before the horse.

"You have a friend who has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining?!" Xu Zhaoyi seemed to have heard something unbelievable. He stopped and stared at him with a strange look.

Qin Sheng felt uneasy when he was looked at by him, and thought that he had revealed a flaw somewhere and was suspected by Xu Zhaoyi.

Noodles could no longer bear it and tugged, "That's clearly the look you give someone who's cheating on you. You're actually keeping a ninth-level Qi Refining goblin out there!"

Qin Sheng told it to read less novels. It was not smart to begin with, so don’t let it ruin its logical thinking!

Xu Zhaoyi also knew that his mentality was inexplicably broken, so he pursed his lips and asked, "How old is he? If he is too old, it would be embarrassing to trouble him for my retreat."

Qin Sheng gave him a smile that made him feel at ease. "He's the same age as me, twenty-five. There's no need to be polite with him. He usually has nothing to do anyway."

For a cautious person like Qin Sheng to say such impolite words, it seems that their relationship is extraordinary. He couldn't even imagine Qin Sheng being so impolite to him.

"……OK."

Xu Zhaoyi left without saying a word and went into seclusion right after returning. Even if Qin Sheng was slow-witted, he should have noticed that something was wrong with his mood, not to mention that he was very selective in this regard.

After realizing this, he actually took Noodles' words to heart, but unfortunately only listened to half of it: "Is he blaming me for not telling him about the foreign aid he had, which made him feel so stressed?"

The bad thing is that Noodles also thinks his explanation is more reasonable: [That's right, if it were you, you would be angry too.]

[…Why don’t you use yourself as an example?]

[Because if it were me, I wouldn’t be angry, but that’s not the answer you want to hear.]

"Really? Even if I kept a second system secret from you, you wouldn't be angry?"

[What second system?] Noodles said righteously: [That's the snack you gave me!]

[………] Qin Sheng laughed out of anger. This brat really had no psychological trauma at all and even dared to eat his non-staffed counterparts.

No matter what, his wife went into seclusion again in anger. No matter how much Qin Sheng regretted not thinking it through, he could only act according to the original plan.

He told the hairdresser Feng Li the news and went back first. Xu Zhaoyi has been in seclusion. Starting tomorrow, he will ask an external aid who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining to stay here. He asked her to arrange a room next to Xu Zhaoyi for the other party and not to disturb him unless necessary.

Feng Li Li had no suspicion of anything else.

Qin Sheng returned to the manor and changed his clothes. In order to distinguish himself from his original identity, he deliberately changed into a leather jacket and ripped jeans, which he would never wear normally. He also messed up his hair and chose a graffiti-style mask.

The body shape was also concealed. The height was about an inch taller than before, and the shoulder width and waist were slightly adjusted with the help of clothes.

He took one last look in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. His eyes hurt just by looking at himself. No one would ever associate this street-slicker-looking guy with the name Qin Sheng.

The next day he came to Nanchuan and met with Feng Lili and the other three, asking them to confirm that he indeed had the strength of the ninth level of Qi Refining so that they could feel at ease. Sure enough, he was not recognized at all. Lijia even gave him another bag of Mood Candy Plus.

After Qin Sheng greeted them, he went into the room next to Xu Zhaoyi. After taking off his mask, he stared at the bag of mood candies thoughtfully.

[Mian Noodles, take a candy with you and go to your little dad's retreat room. If he's not in a trance state, have him blow one for you. Taste it and tell me what it tastes like.]

Noodles had no shadow on the pheasant system compiled by Swallow, but the psychological shadow on this candy was huge. The taste of the candies that Xu Zhaoyi blew to it several times was comparable to biological weapons.

It extorted several meals made by Qin Sheng before it took a piece of candy and left in the wind.

When they got there, Xu Zhaoyi was still in a trance, studying the Blazing Golden Fan carefully. Seeing Noodles coming over, he asked in surprise, "Didn't Qin Sheng go back to the manor? Didn't you follow him?"

Oops, that confession didn't make sense.

Noodles hummed obediently: "Dad asked me to follow Brother Ling Huan for a while." Ling Huan was the name Qin Sheng asked Noodles to randomly give to this new fake identity.

Xu Zhaoyi was silent for a moment after hearing this: "He is the same age as your father, and you call him brother?"

"He's so young, I can't just go up to him and call him uncle, that would be so rude."

"So you called me little daddy the first time we met? What? Were your manners off at that moment?"

Noodles said confidently, "You're different from others! You're the one my father chose to marry!"

Xu Zhaoyi snorted softly: "...What are you doing here?"

He suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, thinking to himself, what do you mean by choosing to get married? It's obvious that he has chosen the person to force into marriage!

Noodles quickly took out two candies and said, "I want some. Little Daddy, help me blow on them!"

"Just for this?" Xu Zhaoyi was speechless after taking the candy, but he didn't ask why he didn't let Brother Ling blow it for him. Instead, he directly met Noodles' request.

He blew one and put it into the noodle's mouth, then blew the remaining one and wrapped it up again to keep the noodle safe.

I smacked the noodles in my mouth. They were sour and sweet, and surprisingly tasted great. Could it be that the anger I had last night had finally subsided today?

It said goodbye to Xu Zhaoyi with another candy in its pocket and returned to Qin Sheng, about to tell its host the good news.

[Little Daddy is in a good mood, don't worry. I told you he's not the petty type!]

[When did you say that?] Qin Sheng raised an eyebrow and pointed out the hidden trick, but at least he felt relieved.

He was mainly worried that Xu Zhaoyi was in seclusion while angry, and if he wasn't careful, he might go astray.

Another candy noodle was given to Qin Sheng. Out of curiosity about Xu Zhaoyi's mood at the moment, Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment but still put it in his mouth - he momentarily forgot that this was the plus version, and that Feng Lili gave him a hint with his distorted facial features when Li Jiaya gave him candy for the first time after she came back.

When a magical taste of extreme sourness and extreme sweetness instantly occupied his taste buds, Qin Sheng frowned, realizing that the taste of noodles was not reliable.

Then he felt a flash before his eyes, and then lemons fell from the ceiling like in a fruit-cutting game. A blade appeared out of thin air, and with the sound of the blade breaking through the air, it chopped off one lemon after another in mid-air.

He reached out and tried to catch a lemon that had slipped through the net, but the touch was wrong. The lemon was surprisingly soft. He broke it open and found that there was a strawberry-flavored cake inside. It looked very sweet...

[Host, host!!!]

The terrified voice of Noodles entered Qin Sheng's mind. Qin Sheng realized something was wrong and immediately spat out the candy in his mouth. The scene in front of him disappeared instantly and his vision returned to normal.

"Ahhh, I was so scared! What just happened?!" Noodles breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he didn't make any more strange movements out of thin air. Still feeling a lingering fear, he climbed onto his lap and asked.

Qin Sheng pinched his brows and said, "This upgraded version of mood candy can cause hallucinations, like mushroom poisoning. No wonder Feng Lili had such a strange expression when he saw Li Jiaya giving me candy that day!"

[I ate it and it’s fine!] The candy from the noodles is still in my mouth!

Qin Sheng touched its head: [This illusion effect does not work on you.]

And he was very sure that his wife was definitely not completely indifferent as Noodles said.

Only he himself knew how brutal the blade that had just cut the lemon in mid-air was. The blade was so sharp that it reflected light. In short, it was full of murderous intent.

So, is it really so annoying that he has another friend who is at the ninth level of Qi Refining?

Qin Sheng thought about it and sighed a half-sweet and slightly bitter breath.

Originally, I had planned that even if Ling Huan couldn't have frequent contact with Xu Zhaoyi to avoid being recognized, I could still try to build a good relationship with him. There would be no problem fighting side by side at certain critical moments. It could be regarded as an exercise in advance to practice their tacit understanding in combat.

But now it seems that he has lost his previous ability to take care of Xu Zhaoyi's emotions.

Think about it, Xu Zhaoyi is such an easy-to-appease person, but he was angered and lost his mind one after another. He let these situations make him lose confidence in his ability to deal with people.

With this identity, you'd better be honest and don't get close to his wife.
