Synopsis: Qin Sheng (Gong/Attack) x Xu Zhaoyi (Shou/Receive).
Not long after Qin Sheng transmigrated into a sickly villain in a certain 'Dragon King' web novel, his system stealthily ...
Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Qin Sheng, who is always in a hurry
In the evening, the noodles turned into a string of data and flowed directly out of Qin Sheng's computer screen. The noise was similar to that of Sadako. Fortunately, Qin Sheng was already used to it.
"I've settled him in! Everything else is taken care of, too. No matter how hard the Qin family tries, they can only find that place where he occasionally stays, and that you and he met online for a year, dated online for half a year, and decided to get married in person yesterday."
"Did you leave him any money?"
"I left 100,000 for emergencies. He said he didn't need any more."
"Very good. Thank you for your hard work." Qin Sheng nodded without changing his expression. He wisely did not ask about the details of their so-called six-month online relationship, lest he lose sleep at night. He then said, "I left you a bowl of sugar water as a midnight snack. The extra-wide seat has also arrived. Go and eat it yourself!"
"Okay!" Noodles decisively changed into a three-headed fat boy vest and went to the kitchen on the first floor happily.
Qin Sheng continued to process today's emails in front of the computer. He had been hiding it from the Qin family since he came here a year ago. He used Noodles and different identities to set up many businesses outside. Some of them were required for system tasks, and some were investments he made by chance when he saw opportunities.
Before, he was under too close surveillance and had no freedom, so most of the tasks assigned by the system were to do charity behind the scenes to earn merit. Although his tasks have been adjusted to assist Xu Zhaoyi, Qin Sheng still plans to continue with his career and charity.
Firstly, although the Qin family has to support him, he cannot be constrained by the Qin family in terms of money and resources at critical moments. Secondly, even if there is no additional reward from the charity system in the future, the merits will be beneficial to his current physical condition.
The next day, Qin Sheng didn't need to sleep and kept counting the time waiting for Noodles to call him to get up, so he got up very early. It was really early. When he opened the curtains, he found that it was just dawn outside.
"Get it done quickly, so as to avoid any more trouble!" Noodles used his hands and feet to drag Qin Sheng to the bathroom.
It muttered silently under its host's gaze, "The engagement will be finalized, and it will take at least half a month to prepare. I'm getting anxious just thinking about it. If we can get the Soul-Guiding Pill as soon as possible so Xu Zhaoyi can start practicing, you, the host, can immediately get rid of your current weak and vulnerable state!"
Well, this is indeed something that should be paid more attention to. Although it has nothing to do with getting up so early today, Qin Sheng still rubbed its head and let it make a fuss.
After tidying himself up a bit, Qin Sheng saw Noodle changing back into his orange cat vest, grabbing his trouser legs and wanting to go with him to pick up Xu Zhaoyi.
"Why don't you just follow me in my mind? Why do you have to wear a vest?" Qin Sheng didn't quite understand. This was a trip to the Qin family, not a walk. If Noodles didn't pay attention and spoke in public, the Qin family would definitely get to the bottom of it, which would be very troublesome.
"If you take Xu Zhaoyi to meet the Qin family directly like this, even if he's not really meeting the parents, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. I will turn into a cat and follow him around today to help you support him!"
The Qin family is a large family, and there are more than a dozen "brothers and sisters" of the same generation as Qin Sheng. These people don't know the truth that the Qin family favors Qin Sheng. They dare not say it openly, and secretly look down on him, including his original brother Qin Xing, who has the same father and mother as him.
In short, there is no good person in the Qin family. Even the old man sweeping fallen leaves in the garden is trying to grow his eyes upwards.
Qin Sheng lowered his eyes and looked at it for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "You really think of him as your little daddy?"
Noodles' cat paw held a virtual e-cigarette that had come from nowhere, and he exhaled a vicissitudes of life. "It's all my fault that he has no system protection now. I feel guilty if I don't protect him."
"Okay, if you want to go, just follow me!" Qin Sheng had no idea what to do with this little drama queen, so he could only take it out with him.
When Qin Sheng drove to the temporary residence that Xu Zhaoyi had arranged yesterday, Xu Zhaoyi was already waiting on the roadside. Qin Sheng looked at him through the car window and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
After all, he is the male protagonist. Even in such a remote and dilapidated environment, it is difficult to conceal his extraordinary temperament. Yesterday, I estimated that his height should be at least 1.85 meters, only about two fingers shorter than myself. Although his clothes are simple, his broad shoulders and narrow waist are smooth and bright. His youthful spirit becomes more amazing the more he is in such a difficult situation.
"The male lead is so handsome!" Noodles slurped and exclaimed in admiration for his handsome face.
Qin Sheng didn't respond. He waited until he found a place to park the car before looking at it expressionlessly.
"......?" Noodle Cat's eyes turned: "Of course, host, you are also very handsome. I absolutely don't mean to put you down!"
Qin Sheng almost laughed out of anger: "I just want to remind you that when you are a cat outside, you should act like a cat. Remember not to speak!"
"Oh, I know, I know!" Noodles quickly covered his mouth.
As they were talking, Xu Zhaoyi also saw them and was walking towards them. Qin Sheng paused for two seconds, then unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door for him.
"Uh... there's no need to be like this..." Xu Zhaoyi was stunned at first, then a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He wanted to say that he didn't really need Qin Sheng to show his gentlemanly manners to him.
"Don't worry, this is just the first time. I was afraid you'd come alone and sit in the back." Qin Sheng picked up the fat orange cat from the passenger seat and stuffed it into Xu Zhaoyi's arms, motioning him to sit in. "We're in an online relationship now, so you have to sit in my passenger seat."
"...Yeah." Xu Zhaoyi replied hesitantly, got into the car with the cat in his arms, lowered his eyes and whispered, "Noodles?"
Because the orange cat hadn't made any sound since the beginning, just like a real cat, Xu Zhaoyi was a little unsure. After all, he had seen it yesterday that Noodles was a bit of a chatterbox.
Noodles glanced at Qin Sheng next to him, not daring to speak. He could only nod his head vigorously, his eyes rolled up, and he stretched out his cat paw to poke the mobile phone in Xu Zhaoyi's pocket.
Xu Zhaoyi understood and took out his mobile phone, and saw a new message from Noodles pop up on his WeChat the next second, explaining to him the reason why he couldn't speak.
At the end, he added a sly comment: The Qin family are all bad guys, and my father asked me to stay with you today to protect you.
Xu Zhaoyi took one look and chuckled softly. Didn't that mean he was also insulting his father? Although judging by his two lifetime experiences, Qin Sheng was indeed not a good guy with an absolute sense of justice...just a good person.
Let's be clear about one thing. In the Qin family's affairs, Qin Sheng was indeed a victim, but Xu Zhaoyi would not give his full trust in this cooperation just because he had "excusable circumstances". He still had lingering fears about the completely evil Qin Sheng in his previous life, not to mention that the cooperation in this life was facilitated by Qin Sheng threatening him with Jin Nianyue.
Qin Sheng concentrated on driving and didn't pay attention to the silent communication between the father and son who had just known each other for a day. The Qin family was a bit far from here, and it would take at least two hours to drive there.
Unlike other families of cultivators who have basically integrated into modern society and live in high-rise buildings or villas, the Qin family residence is not in the city, nor is it like his manor built on a hillside in the suburbs. Instead, it is in the countryside far away from the city crowd. Not only does the house cover a large area, but the entire village outside is inhabited by the Qin family.
Outsiders all thought that the Qin family lived in seclusion here to shield themselves from outside temptations and allow their children to concentrate on cultivation. No wonder so many talented people emerged here and firmly occupied the leading position in the cultivation circle.
But in fact, the reason why the Qin family did not dare to leave their ancestral land was purely to guard the forbidden formation set up in the Qin family's ancient house, which was related to the Qin family's fortune!
In the original work, no matter which life it was, the original body never moved out of the Qin family. In the first life, he married Jin Nianyue and coaxed her to help him. Jin Nianyue was kind-hearted and agreed without much thought. So the two rookies tried to make trouble in the palm of the Qin family. In the TV series, they would not survive three episodes, and in reality, Jin Nianyue did not survive more than three months.
Qin Sheng learned his lesson and found an excuse to live alone this time. He also had no plans to move back with Xu Zhaoyi after marriage - with their current combat power, they were even worse than the two rookies, his original self and Jin Nianyue, in his previous life. After all, Jin Nianyue still had some low-level cultivation.
The manor is more suitable for them to hide and accumulate strength.
Xu Zhaoyi thought so too. Although he had never asked, anyone with a normal mind should understand that before you can hit the target with one strike, you should not easily reveal your intentions and alert the enemy, right?
The Qin family is quite powerful from top to bottom. It is said that they also worship three foundation-building ancestors and one who is half a step away from foundation-building. In an environment where there are wolves everywhere, he probably has to think three times in his mind before saying anything to Qin Sheng.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaoyi felt a little uncomfortable. It would have been fine if he didn't know it before, but now that he knew the vicious means behind the Qin family's prosperity, he subconsciously felt disgusted.
"What's wrong?" Qin Sheng caught a glimpse of his expression from the corner of his eye. After a moment of silence, he slowed down the car and asked, "Are you carsick?"
“…No.” Xu Zhaoyi turned his head and looked at him first, but then looked away.
Of course, he couldn't say that he felt as if he had been touched by a ghost and was actually angry about Qin Sheng's experience.
It's so funny. He was killed by this person in his previous life.
However, after hearing this caring word, and then feeling the car speed suddenly become steady...
Xu Zhaoyi pinched the cat ears of the noodles unconsciously, and couldn't help but wonder if Qin Sheng was too contradictory. He was gentle and considerate, yet he couldn't be refused.
Cats and dogs are like this for a while.
