Chapter 119

The boss looked Cheng Hui up and down, then asked hesitantly, "You don't look like a man dressed as a woman...

Cheng Hui: ...Oh wow! Boss, you really understand.

The boss looked Cheng Hui up and down, then asked hesitantly, "You don't look like a man dressed as a woman..."

Cheng Hui: ...To some extent, the boss is quite innocent...

Seeing that the boss's eyes had slowly moved down from his chest, Cheng Hui quickly interrupted him: "That's not what I meant by making you happy."

The boss was stunned for a moment: "What does that mean?"

Cheng Hui used two fingers to pull at the corners of his mouth and eyes, stretched out his tongue, and made a face: (￣┰￣*) slightly slightly slightly...

Boss: ...

Boss:!!!

"How is it? Are you happier?" Cheng Hui asked tentatively.

The boss looked at him expressionlessly: "Not at all. Not only am I not happy, I really want to kill you."

Cheng Hui chuckled, "Ahem, well, at least you're not so angry now, right?"

The boss looked at him thoughtfully. Needless to say, after being interrupted by him, he was not so angry at all, except for feeling both amused and helpless.

"Hmph, you passed." The boss threw Cheng Hui down.

Cheng Hui somersaulted and stood steadily on the ground.

Don't ask him why he dared to take the risk. It's just his intuition. Judging from the boss's actions just now, he is not a particularly cruel person. Although his actions are a bit risky, fortunately the result is not bad, so he didn't lose out.

The elder looked around with a look of disdain on his face. "A mere bit of Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone is worth a life-and-death fight? Tsk tsk, cultivators these days are so shortsighted."

Cheng Hui's eyes twitched. Dark Spirit Sandalwood is already a very precious mineral, isn't it? You might look down on it because you're a big boss, but for these independent cultivators, it's wealth they could never earn in their entire lives.

Speaking of which, if the captain knew there were so many Dark Spirit Sandalwood stones, why did he spread the news? Wouldn't it be better for him to keep them all?

"Why else? He's stupid." The boss replied.

Only then did Cheng Hui realize that he had asked the question unconsciously.

The boss sneered, "This idiot wanted to give his good-for-nothing son a way out. He also knew that with his limited connections, if he took the Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone out to sell, he would probably be in great trouble before he could even sell it. So his original plan was to leak this news to the Corpse Puppet Sect. Then, with this merit, his son could join the Corpse Puppet Sect and become an outer disciple without any problems. If he was lucky, he might even be able to infiltrate the inner sect. Unfortunately... this idiot's plan was very good, but his good-for-nothing son was not only useless, but also stupid. He actually stole the ore he brought back and sold it."

"This guy had a mental problem when it came to treating his own son, but he's usually pretty good. He immediately realized something was wrong, so he spread the word that he knew the location of a certain associated mineral."

The boss glanced at Cheng Hui and said, "News like this is spread every year, so you people from the Corpse Puppet Sect don't care at all. On the contrary, those who got the Dark Spirit Sandalwood Stone from his son will take it seriously. Even if they want to do something, they will only attack him and save his son."

Cheng Hui secretly clicked his tongue. This team leader treated his son very well. Of course, he thought it was natural for a father to protect his son. He just didn't know why the big boss couldn't stand it.

The boss glanced at him and asked in a bad tone, "Do you think I was wrong to scold him? He was right to protect his son?"

Cheng Hui had a bad feeling. If he didn't answer this question well, the boss might get angry with him.

But he felt that there was nothing wrong with a father doing his best to protect his son no matter how you looked at it.

The boss deduced his answer from his expression and sneered, "If this is really his son, then there's nothing wrong with it. But the problem is, this guy knows that his cheap son is not his own, and yet he is so open-hearted to him. Don't you think he is stupid?"

Cheng Hui: ...ah this?

This one is really hard to say.

He pondered for a moment and then cleverly replied, "After spending so much time with an adopted son, he's actually no different from a biological son."

The boss sneered, "What if this adopted son also knows that this idiot is not his biological father, and he yells at him all the time, wishing he could skin this idiot alive to feed him? Do you think such a son is worth his trouble to think about him?"

Cheng Hui: ...Fuck!

This is considered a son? This is worse than giving birth to a fool.

Isn't that right? He knows that this son is not his own, but he still treats him badly. What does this leader want?

"He's after the mother, isn't he? He foolishly agreed to help raise the son after that bitch cried a few words. Now that the son is finally grown up, that woman shows up again, whispering bad things about him in the child's ear all day long. I'm wondering, why not kill this kind of woman as soon as possible and keep her around for the New Year?"

When the boss said this, the expression on his face was really incredible.

However, after listening to it, Cheng Hui inexplicably felt a little familiar... Why does this plot look so much like the novels he had read before?

I'm not talking about any specific book, but almost all novels like those about cannon fodder's counterattack have similar backgrounds.

Isn't this a true portrayal of a dog that licks until it has nothing left...

Cheng Hui couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it. If this guess was true, wouldn't this leader be reborn in the future? His character perfectly fits the definition of cannon fodder.

Uh... wait... if you really think about it, there is still a big boss living on my body. Isn't this already a very powerful golden finger?

What if the leader can't stand the stimulation and commits suicide? Then the boss will be reborn, tearing the scumbag woman apart with his hands and stepping on the excellent son with his feet. This is simply a live version of the plot in the novel.

Ahem…

That's getting off topic.

Cheng Hui gathered his thoughts, looked around, and then looked at the boss.

He had followed them because he thought the two men might have some conspiracy. Now that he had discovered the Dark Spirit Sandalwood Mine, he felt like he would be missing out if he didn't dig some.

"Well... we don't have anything to do right now, so... should I go dig some mines first?"

Cheng Hui didn't know how or when the boss would go back after he came out, but he didn't plan to just stay there. After testing him, he felt that the boss was a good person and would not want to kill people at every turn, so he started to ask.

The boss' pupils dilated slightly, and he said in shock: "I'm standing right here, and you're going to go mining?"

Cheng Hui was also shocked: "What else?"

"Am I not more valuable than the mine?" the boss asked.

Cheng Hui, Cheng Hui was stunned.

What do you mean? Boss, you're certainly more valuable than the mine, but the problem is... I can't boss you around.

You are like a mine. You have value, but unfortunately it cannot be converted into cash.

So instead of staring at a mine that I am destined to never get, I might as well concentrate on digging for ore. At least the ore I dig up will definitely belong to me.

Cheng Hui stared at the boss eagerly. After a few seconds, the boss got angry and said, "How can you be so ignorant? Are all cultivators these days so unmotivated? When you meet a boss, why don't you ask for cultivation techniques and secrets? At the very least, ask for spirit stones, right? You have to know that even a high-level cultivator like me, even if I can get a little bit of it through my fingers, it will be enough for you to use for a long time."

Cheng Hui stared at the boss in horror, "No, boss, why are you so fat?"

Are you talking about monks? I wonder if you have some misunderstanding about monks?

Why do I feel that your description is particularly similar to that of a newbie in some online games?

Besides, how could I be so shameless as to ask for cultivation techniques and spirit stones right after meeting you? You also said that this team leader is a fool. Even if he is a fool, I have never seen him give out spirit stones to anyone he meets, right?

Cheng Hui felt that he might have met a fake boss, but he had no evidence.

Seeing the big guy staring at him, Cheng Hui felt a lot of pressure.

Helplessly, he touched his nose and said, "Big Boss, how about you just give me something?"

The boss shook his sleeves and said, "It's a pity that I have nothing now."

Cheng Hui: ...

I suspected the Big Boss was playing a trick on me, and this must be his revenge for me making faces at him.

He rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "Boss, just tell me what you want to do."

Snap——

The boss slapped Cheng Hui on the shoulder, almost knocking him down: "Good boy, you have good taste! I knew I was right."

Cheng Hui: ...Haha, it’s confirmed that I’m trying to scam you.

He forced a smile: "You say."

"Actually, you can see that I don't have a physical body right now."

"I will never contribute my own body." Cheng Hui refused decisively.

The boss glared at him with disdain: "What are you thinking? If I want to possess someone else's body, I have to possess a living person. Don't think that I can't tell you're a zombie just because you're pretending to be one. Oh, yes, a zombie with an owner. Do you think I'd be so stupid as to find a master for myself when I possess someone else's body?"

Cheng Hui: ...

What you say is one thing, but personal attacks are too much!

"Then please continue." Cheng Hui was helpless.

"Actually, it's like this. I want to possess someone else's body, and I need a lot of things. Even if it was a coincidence that I became a parasite on this person, it was out of necessity. However, you can see that this person really has no ambition, and there are still a lot of messes on him. It's really not suitable for me to continue parasitizing him. Moreover, he is a casual cultivator and doesn't have access to many good materials. If I want to rely on him to help me, it will be a long way off."

"So?" Cheng Hui had a bad feeling.

"So you see, our meeting is fate. Why don't I just stay here temporarily..."

"Impossible!" Cheng Hui interrupted him directly. Are you kidding? Parasitism sounds terrifying. He wouldn't do it.

Unexpectedly, the boss wasn't upset. He said unhappily, "Do you think I want to? If it weren't for the limited time I have to be out, I would have gone out to find someone who can accommodate me. This guy refuses to leave, saying he's afraid that woman will be worried when she comes back and can't find him. Ha, he's so stupid that there's no cure."

"So, I hope you can help me find a material that I can temporarily store inside. In return, I can guide you in your cultivation, and when necessary, I can also help you and save your life. Of course, if I help you, the price will be different, and you will have to repay me with more materials in the future."

Cheng Hui pondered it for a moment and decided it was something he could do. Having a big shot as a bodyguard sounded like a good idea. Even if it came at a price, it was still worth it. After all, if someone died, they'd lose everything. As long as they survived, they could always earn it back.

Besides... although this boss has a good temper, he is not sure what will happen if he refuses. Since the benefits outweigh the disadvantages at the moment, let's do it for now.
