Tomb Raiding: The Big Shot Doesn't Want to Talk About Love

(The protagonist is gentle and introverted, a patriarch. Doting on the team + slightly charismatic + no CP + friendly ending.)

Just a few years after Zhang Moyu became the patriarch, he was d...

Chapter 009 Picked up a dog

Seeing Wuxie's somewhat dazed expression, Zhang Moyu stretched out a hand and placed it on Wuxie's head.

After stroking the soft hair under his hand, Zhang Moyu relaxed when he didn't feel any strange reaction in the blood in his body.

That’s right, after checking the feel, this is an ordinary person.

And at the moment when Zhang Moyu placed his hand on Wuxie's head, 009, who was paying close attention to the scene, saw that an intimate task of "patting the head" was completed, and ten points were added.

Before the mechanical broadcast appeared, 009 quickly turned off the mechanical broadcast, and then quickly opened the mall and clicked to buy a one-minute limited-time "soft halo" and put it on his host.

009 was heartbroken after spending the ten points he had just added without even taking a second look at them. However, for the future of his host and the target, he did not regret it at all.

Wuxie, who was sitting on the ground, looked up at Zhang Moyu, who was looking down at him with a calm face. For some reason, his heart suddenly started pounding with nervousness.

At this moment, in Wuxie's eyes, Zhang Moyu seemed to be emitting a layer of hazy white light, making people feel warm and kind.

There was a hint of pity and comfort in his half-closed eyes, his expression was calm and gentle, his face was handsome, his skin was as white as jade, his long black hair was tied up high with a few strands falling on his shoulders. Although he was wearing black clothes, his whole person seemed to reveal a divinity that loved and tolerated all living beings.

Noble and sacred.

Wuxie even felt that he should pull the compassionate Bodhisattva down from the altar and let this one sit in its place.

The dangerous look of Zhang Moyu that seemed difficult to deal with was instantly forgotten. Wuxie was dazzled by the scene that seemed to have been filtered through countless layers. He stretched his neck and rubbed Zhang Moyu's hand, unconsciously giving him a silly smile.

He saw that the person he was holding down, whose identity he suspected, not only did not resist, but also actively stretched out his head to let him rub it.

The two eyes were looking at him with sparkling eyes, the innocent dog eyes were full of little stars of admiration, and he had a silly smile on his face.

Zhang Moyu almost suspected that the cat spirit just now had scared him silly.

He put down his hand that was rashly rubbing someone's head and held it out in front of him.

"Sorry, I was just trying to check on you and I might have been a little offensive."

Wuxie blushed and took the hand that Zhang Moyu offered her, letting him pull her up while speaking without thinking.

"It's okay, it's not offensive at all. My family likes to rub my head. I'm used to it."

Wuxie had just finished speaking when he lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I just rubbed it subconsciously, don't mind it."

"fine."

Seeing Wuxie getting nervous and shy at every turn, looking like someone who could be easily bullied, Zhang Moyu found him quite amusing. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. His bad mood caused by the day's unpleasantness instantly dissipated.

"What are you doing in a place like this so late at night?"

Zhang Moyu took a look at Wuxie's clothes. He didn't recognize the brand in this world, but judging by the fabric, he knew he came from a well-off family. He couldn't understand why he would come to this remote place in the middle of the night.

Hearing Zhang Moyu's question, Wuxie's eyes were vague and he stammered, not knowing how to explain.

The adventure of being cheated in a bet, the thrill of adventure and treasure hunting... ahem, to sum it up, it's just that people have nothing to do after eating, so they come out to seek death.

But this cannot be said. Wuxie chose to skip the answer and asked Zhang Moyu instead.

"I'm just here for some insignificant reason, but what are you doing here?"

Zhang Moyu had just asked casually, but when he saw that Wuxie didn't want to explain the reason, he just followed his lead and lightly changed the subject, giving a simple reply.

"I was entrusted by others to solve some minor problems."

Wuxie's gaze subconsciously fell on the corpse of the monster next to him, and he cast a questioning look at Zhang Moyu.

Zhang Moyu nodded calmly, speaking with some nonchalance.

"This is a cat spirit. Generally, these things possess dying animals. But this cat spirit killed a person for some reason and then possessed this person, which is why it became like that.

But now that the cat demon has been destroyed, the corpse has probably returned to its original appearance."

After hearing his explanation, Wuxie felt completely confused.

The scientific worldview suddenly collapsed...

Forgive him for previously thinking that he had encountered some unknown rare animal, or a deformed person, a serial killer who deliberately had plastic surgery to look like that.

In just a few tens of seconds after they met and were chased, he had already made up so many explanations in his mind, trying to make "it" appear for a reasonable reason, but the truth turned out to be so tear-jerking!

Wuxie grabbed Zhang Moyu's arm with trembling hands and lowered his head, his expression invisible.

During the time when Zhang Moyu was "trafficked" into the horror world to work illegally, he met countless people who suddenly entered the horror world and could not accept the weird and cruel reality all of a sudden.

Seeing him suddenly quiet down, he thought he was scared and was about to say a few words to comfort him, but the next second Wuxie squatted on the ground as if he was playing tricks, and put his arms around his thighs instead. He looked at him excitedly and hopefully, and shouted loudly.

"Boss! Accept me as your disciple!"

When Zhang Moyu finished his casual explanation, Wuxie remembered the scene where he killed the cat spirit with two whips, and combined with the behavior of breaking into the house through the window instead of going through the door, he instantly felt that the man in front of him was a real boss, and definitely not a half-baked swindler.

Although it is not clear at the moment whether he can master the legendary magic or something, this man's kung fu is so powerful that if he just learns a few moves from him, it will be enough for him to brag about when he goes back.

If his unscrupulous uncle tries to trick him again, he will punch him with a left hook and a right hook, and turn his uncle into a national treasure!

Zhang Moyu's eyebrows jumped. He didn't know whether this person was born brave or stupid. He accepted it so quickly.

However, the Zhang family's things cannot be taught to outsiders casually, even if he is the former patriarch!

The Zhang family is a family with a strong sense of family. All power is concentrated in the hands of the patriarch, who is considered to be a king within the family. His words are final, and no one can disobey the patriarch's orders.

For this reason, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, whenever a new patriarch takes the throne, the previous patriarch, whether still alive or not, will be assumed to be dead and will no longer have any rights as a patriarch.

Of course, the surviving old clan leader would not be treated the same as ordinary clan members. They would be transformed into clan elders along with their personal guards, respected but without real power. Their main task was to help the clan leader teach the children in the clan.

If something happens to the clan leader and the next clan leader has not been determined, the clan elders will take over in the absence of a leader.

Therefore, if Zhang Moyu wants to pass on the Zhang family's things now, he must find the current head of the Zhang family and obtain his consent.
