Chapter 263 Thank you, pay the protection fee
The man in front of her was a bully who flirted with a decent woman.
The man paused, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "You are really the same as before..." Sassy.
Whether it was the operation or the person, he didn't say the last word.
Ye Xunzhi raised an eyebrow.
He said this as if he knew her very well.
But Ye Xunzhi touched her chin, why didn't she remember that she knew such a handsome guy.
But the other party looked easy to talk to, Ye Xunzhi walked up and decided to ask a few words, she raised a bright smile and stretched out her hand:
"Hello handsome guy..."
The next second, the handsome guy in front of her shrank into a six-year-old boy in front of her. Although he became smaller, his delicate face still showed the superior outline of the future.
He raised his head and looked at Ye Xunzhi, who suddenly revealed himself as an old man on the subway looking at his phone. The two looked at each other.
Ye Xunzhi had no expression on his face.
[The handsome guy shrinks, stops trying to flatter others, and takes the sincere route instead.]
"Hello, Conan, where are you from?"
Ye Xunzhi showed a vicious face and grabbed the other party:
"Identity, name, age, where is this place, how can I get back, tell me the truth and I will consider sparing your life."
Little boy: How come this person is still so realistic after so many years.
He slowly opened his mouth to explain:
"Ren Chen, this is my name."
In view of his understanding of the person in front of him, knowing that the other party would really beat him up without the bonus of that face, Ren Chen decisively-confessed.
It is not shameful to slide on your knees, but it is shameful to slide on your knees after being beaten. As long as he lowers his head quickly enough, the opponent's fist will not fall on his face!
"Ren Chen." Ye Xunzhi savored the name, "You look very familiar with me, do we know each other?"
"Of course I do."
Seeing Ye Xunzhi sitting back on the chair on the side of the pavilion, Ren Chen sat opposite her and naturally poured her a cup of tea.
"I know what you want to ask, and I will answer them one by one from now on."
He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment, the scenery of the garden disappeared, replaced by a vast sea of stars above his head, and the surroundings instantly turned from day to night.
[I was careless, this guy has something on him! ]
[I can only attack physically, but the opponent can attack with spells. Ye Xunzhi
remained calm on the surface but was actually quite nervous. She picked up the teacup on the table and drank a sip of tea to calm her nerves.
"Then please introduce yourself first." Ren Chen walked up to Ye Xunzhi, restored his adult appearance, and performed a gentleman's salute gracefully.
"In a popular sense, I am the consciousness of this world, and you can also call me the way of heaven."
"I think you must have been curious about Irene's identity for a long time. She is not a human."
"Good curse!" Ye Xunzhi applauded, "This is the most beautiful thing I have heard from you since we met."
Ren Chen: "...But I mean it literally. She is really not a human. In fact, from a certain level, she and I are the same existence."
The man stepped forward and clapped his hands lightly. The next moment, all the light around was swallowed up, and then balls of light lit up around the two of them, illuminating their faces.
"See, this is like the universe. The ball of light in your hand represents a world, and at the same time, it represents a world consciousness, that is, a god like me."
[God? ] Ye Xunzhi seemed to raise his hand and poked the ball of light casually.
[What a high-handed title.]
She dislikes everyone in this world except the God of Wealth.
As if he could see Ye Xunzhi's attitude, Ren Chen smiled: "If you don't like it, let me put it another way."
"If the universe is compared to a forest, then there are countless worlds in the forest. Each world is a tree. The main world is the thickest trunk, and the other branches extending out are parallel worlds one after another." "
And Irene is one of the world consciousnesses, but she is a tree because her internal organs have not digested it well." "
If the luckiest people in this world, that is, the people who can be called the male and female protagonists in the novel, are compared to the roots that absorb nutrients for the survival of the tree, then there is undoubtedly a problem on her side."
"So she set her sights on my tree, wanting to steal my nutrients for her own survival. For this, she even went so far as to devour all the energy of everyone in her world, and then transformed herself into a human form and came to our world."
Ye Xunzhi drank the last sip of her tea: "How do you devour it?"
Ren Chen smiled and tilted his head, but his eyes were filled with the indifference of a god, and he gently uttered a word: "Kill."
Ye Xunzhi paused in drinking tea and put down the teacup, "So that's the case, but this sounds more like a competition in your world. What does it have to do with me?"
"Of course it does." Seeing Ye Xunzhi pushing the teacup over with the demeanor of a lord, Ren Chen didn't care and poured tea for her with indulgence.
"In fact, she once tried to persuade you to go to her world, for which she can give you everything you want, whether it is wealth or status."
"Like I said before, if the luckiest person in this world is compared to a root, you are undoubtedly very good."
[Thank you for acknowledging my excellence, but...]
Ye Xunzhi was simply puzzled:
"Was I crazy when I refused at the beginning, or was I brainwashed by you? Why would I give up the stars and the sea for a ruined temple?"
Isn't it just a change of job? She can do it!
Ren-Po Miao-Chen: Has this person already seen that he will not do anything to her?
"In fact, the reason you refused at first was because Irene only wanted you, and you were the only one who was valuable to her."
"She wanted you to cooperate with her and kill me together, and then she would devour the energy of my original world and create a new world for you."
Ye Xunzhi was silent for a moment, and for the first time he understood it so concretely.
What does it mean that this world can't turn without me?
At the same time, she suddenly realized why she had refused.
Devouring meant that all the people in the original world, except herself, would die, and then Irene would create a new batch of humans and put her into the new world.
"I know why I refused, but what happens next?" Ye Xunzhi raised his eyes.
"She deleted the memory of your meeting with her."
Ren Chen lazily leaned back in his chair, staring straight at the girl. The next moment, Ye Xunzhi was surprised to find that her body had turned back to the appearance of an adult in his twenties.
"This is your age when I first met you. After she deleted your memory, she didn't intend to kill you at first, but wanted to take over your body, and then use your body with luck to get close to me." "
But later she found that your luck was too strong to be taken away easily, so she cast her sights on your family." "
There are many keys to a person's luck, and the relatives around him are the most important part. This is especially true for you."
Ye Xunzhi tapped the table with his fingertips, and Ren Chen's eyes fell on the other's white fingers. He stretched out his hand and waved, and the next second a plate of exquisite desserts appeared in front of him.
Macarons, Black Forest...all kinds of desserts.
Ren Chen propped his chin with one hand: "Eat it, I remember you like to eat this."
"Did I tell you this, or did you as the Heavenly Dao discover it yourself?"
Ye Xunzhi dragged a piece of Black Forest in front of him, scooped a bite and put it in his mouth. It was no different from the ones sold outside, and it was even very delicious.
"Of course you told me."
Ren Chen lowered his eyes, as if thinking of some past events:
"She targeted your family and wiped them out one by one, not only eliminating your luck and preparing for future possession, but also swallowing up the luck of your family to strengthen herself."
Ye Xunzhi's breathing stagnated slightly.
But she was not busy getting angry, but sorting out her thoughts.
"Oh, I see, the relationship between the two of you is like that of a critically ill patient in the ICU."
Ren Chen:...What a weird metaphor.
"You two are in a ward, each with a ventilator. Every day, a medical staff member (referring to the male and female protagonists) will help you check on your ventilator." "
But one day, Irene's ventilator broke down, and the medical staff who were supposed to check on her every day were gone. Seeing that she was getting cold, she set her sights on your ventilator and wanted to remove your tube and insert it into her own." "
Without the help of the medical staff (the male and female protagonists), she could only support herself with difficulty, but she was unlucky to meet me, your medical staff." "
Her first thought was to bribe me, but the reward she offered was chocolate, and I like money."
"You are the only one with money, so I can only protect you. Since she failed to bribe me, she can only change her strategy and try to kill me, and then get rid of you. Is that the truth?"
The words are rough, but the truth is true.
Ren Chen nodded with difficulty: "That's the truth."
Ye Xunzhi said in a tone of sudden realization: "It turns out that for you, I have been sniping at the gate of a world."
She stretched out her hand to Ren Chen, and the other party stared at the hand stretched out in front of him in confusion.
"What?"
"Money." Ye Xunzhi couldn't be more righteous:
"I just want to ask you, is her goal to devour you, and am I your umbrella?"
"Yes."
"Yes, pay the protection fee, I, Ye Xunzhi, will never work for nothing in my life!"
Ren Chen: "..."
