Chapter 20: The greed of the people
"Comrade Chen Lin, don't worry. I can support Xuxu no matter how much he eats."
Jiang Hongyi suddenly said this when the two of them were on the verge of a fight, causing Chen Lin's originally gloating expression to freeze on her face.
"Haha, Captain Jiang is right, haha."
As Chen Lin spoke, she tightened her grip on the chopsticks, feeling as if they were about to break.
Qi Xu only felt that the dark red mist around her had become several layers thicker, almost turning black.
But Jiang Hongyi just looked at her twice more, ignored her and lowered his head to continue eating.
Qi Xu immediately felt something was wrong. All the men in the restaurant focused their attention on Chen Lin, and they were all drooling.
Not only that, it seemed as if the souls of the men who were bewitched by Chen Lin began to tremble, and they vigorously slammed against the physical bodies that bound them.
Qi Xu thought to herself that this was not good. If she didn't take action now, something bad would happen.
She covered her stomach with one hand, groaning with difficulty, "No, my stomach doesn't seem to be suitable for eating seafood. Now my stomach hurts."
The other hand climbed up Jiang Hongyi's sleeve, pinched the corner of his clothes and shook it.
Jiang Hongyi knew why she asked for help, so he raised his hand and pointed to the toilet.
After Qi Xu knew the destination, she hunched over with her upper body curled up as she walked towards the toilet. At a corner, she dodged and hid inside.
Only after confirming that there were no strangers around him did he begin to circulate his mental energy throughout his body to his palms, and then quickly formed seals while reciting the Soul-Calming Technique.
"Zhou is the most outstanding emperor of the morning, forgiving of all things. His flames are like smoke in the sky, and his energy is like the radiant light of the sun. Wucheng carries the divine sword, and his tranquil light swallows up the blue sky. The gate of heaven overlooks the red well, and the gate of cloud is majestic and majestic. The seven heavens are connected to the strange cover, and Lianwan also spreads the devil. The six heavens cross the northern road, this is the home of ghosts and gods."
"Hurry up and obey the command! Stop!"
In an instant, the constantly fluctuating air currents above the entire restaurant returned to their original positions and calmed down.
She peeked around the corner to see if it was really working.
Because the Soul-Calming Technique is one of the most mentally exhausting techniques, she was worried that her current mental strength was insufficient and the Soul-Calming Technique would not be able to achieve its maximum effect.
Fortunately, it worked. She scanned every corner of the restaurant and found nothing unusual, so she felt relieved.
This relaxation was so great that it made her feel relieved and she had to lean her whole body against the wall to barely support herself.
Qi Xu couldn't help but want to laugh at himself. He was really overestimating his own abilities. He knew clearly that his abilities were limited, but he still insisted on giving it a try.
She walked into the bathroom holding on to the wall, and tried to sober herself up with ice water. Looking at the pale and sickly face in the mirror in front of her, she almost thought it was not herself.
Well, no one who sees her like this would suspect that she is faking a stomachache.
When she walked back to her seat, holding her waist, Jiang Hongyi was shocked. "How can it be so serious? Don't eat these. Go back to the room and have some steamed bread and pickles to fill your stomach."
With his support, Qi Xu sat down in the seat and nodded weakly.
"Oh, Sister Jiang, I'm afraid you're a little weak. If you live in our family compound in the future, you'll probably get sick every now and then."
"This will make Captain Jiang lose hope. If you can't give Captain Jiang a big fat boy in the future, I'm afraid you will be called a hen that doesn't lay eggs~"
“That’s enough!”
"Comrade Chen Lin, it's not your place as an outsider to interfere in our family affairs."
After Jiang Hongyi said something angrily with a dark face, he helped Qi Xu and Qi Hong put the unfinished food into stainless steel lunch boxes and walked straight back to the room.
Chen Lin was left alone at the table to continue eating, which looked a bit desolate no matter how you looked at it.
"Beauty, is this table empty? Can I sit here with you?"
"roll!"
A man couldn't resist the temptation of her aura, so he mustered up the courage to approach her and strike up a conversation with her. However, he was frightened by her vicious tone and turned and ran away.
Jiang Hongyi helped Qi Xu back to the room, laid her on the bed and covered her with a quilt. He told her not to move because of her stomachache, and took the kettle in the room out to get some water.
Qi Hong sat on the small stool beside the bed, rubbing his knees with both hands and hesitating for a long time, "Qi girl, grandpa doesn't know that you can't eat seafood... I..."
"Grandpa, it's not your fault. I didn't know I couldn't eat seafood. Now I know. I'll just stop eating it in the future. It's okay."
Qi Xu looked at his guilty face and took the initiative to hold Qi Hong's wrinkled hand to comfort him.
A few minutes later, Jiang Hongyi came back, holding not only a thermos full of water, but also a box of medicine.
"I just asked the doctor in the ship's infirmary, and he said you should eat something before taking the medicine. You can have some steamed bread first. I'll ask the restaurant to make some millet porridge to nourish your stomach."
This was the second time she heard Jiang Hongyi say more than ten words, and the theme was still about caring about herself.
My heart inexplicably felt warmer. It turned out that this aloof gentleman was just silent on the surface.
"Okay, I'll eat some steamed bread with warm water first, and take the medicine. I feel much better now."
Qi Xu nodded obediently, took the steamed bread and tomatoes he took out of the luggage bag, and ate them with warm water.
Seeing how obedient she was, Jiang Hongyi left the room again.
More than half an hour later, he pushed the door open, holding a stainless steel lunch box. "This is freshly cooked porridge. Be careful when you drink it."
After giving her the instructions, he and Qi Hong left on their own initiative, wanting her to rest in peace for a while.
When she was the only one left in the room, she drank the porridge and felt her whole body warm up, so she sat up cross-legged.
Of course, replenishing mental strength does not rely solely on the feeling of fullness, but also requires meditation to circulate mental strength throughout the body to achieve rapid recovery.
Just when she was meditating and circulating her mental power for the twentieth week, she felt the presence of the evil spirit in the cabin again.
This time the aura fluctuations were so strong that she had no time to continue meditating. She got out of bed, pressed herself against the door, and began to feel the unusual movements outside.
What I heard was indeed a sound that was not suitable for children.
Someone was flirting in the hallway of the room, their breathing becoming increasingly rapid, mixed with the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.
But Qi Xu felt something was increasingly wrong, as if the essence of someone's soul was being sucked away.
not good!
She couldn't go out and expose her identity, so she just quietly opened the door a crack and saw clearly that it was indeed Chen Lin who was twisting with a man.
Shaking his head and sighing, doesn’t this woman know that greed is the key to success?
The door remained open, and she sat cross-legged behind the door, letting her newly recovered mental strength concentrate on her palms and began to form seals.
"The Heavenly Gang is shaken, the demons are restrained, the ghosts and monsters are exterminated, and I will gain immortality. Hurry and obey the command! Break!"
Then the entire cabin shook up and down as if it had suddenly encountered waves. Qi Xu felt that the evil spirit was constantly absorbing his essence to increase its energy in order to resist his ghost-controlling technique.
No! We can't let this evil spirit continue to do evil!
