Qu Lian held the phone in silence, but a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips. Yan Changge tried his best to help everyone, even animals, risked his life to help the police catch criminals, and donated all his money, but now...

This is a good person. Good people don’t live long.

Qu Lian put down the phone and slowed down his search for Yan Changge. So many policemen had failed to find Yan Changge, so what could he find alone in this dark place? Qu Lian sat on the ground helplessly, with his knees bent and his forehead resting on them.

After his parents and elder brother died, he swore that he would be a disaster that would last for thousands of years. He wanted to live for a long time in order to protect the life that his family had saved with their own lives.

Qu Lian didn't know what he was feeling right now. He had known Yan Changge for less than a month, and he just liked Yan Changge's skills and wanted him to protect him. But now Yan Changge was missing, and he felt bad about the salary he had donated for him.

Yes, he was very concerned about his salary, so he felt so sad. After all, he lost a lot of money.

Qu Lian hugged his calves with both hands and put his face on his knees. In the silent and deserted night, he just wanted to be quiet.

But this unrepaired country road is not very good. It is so uncomfortable to sit on. It is impossible to have a quiet time. Why does it feel like something is poking him? Is he sitting on a rock?

No, there really is something poking me!

Qu Lian quickly jumped up, turned on the flashlight on his phone, and shone it on the place where he had just sat. There were no street lights around, and it was pitch black.

A hand stretched out from where Qu Lian had just sat.

"Ah!" Qu Lian let out a short cry of fright. He wanted to run, but his legs were a little weak and he couldn't run at all.

The hand pushed the ground twice, and the solid ground turned into a hole. A voice came from the hole: "You are sitting on my head."

Qu Lian took a deep breath and tried his best to stay calm: "...I didn't mean it. I'll sit somewhere else."

"Well, wait a moment, I'll come up to find you right away." Another voice came from the cave.

"No, there's no need to come up..." Qu Lian was so scared that his phone fell to the ground, and he moved towards the car step by step with difficulty.

"Huh? How can you not come up? You've come to find me." The voice was always calm, without any eerie feeling.

But the environment was too scary. Seeing two hands sticking out of the hole and a little black hair showing, Qu Lian was so scared that he shouted, "I'm not here to find you!"

He shouted while running towards the car, not even caring about his cell phone. He opened the door, started the car quickly, and stepped hard on the accelerator towards the hole that half of his body was exposed. The car flew over the hole and seemed to have hit something. Qu Lian did not stop the car or look back, but drove forward firmly and vigorously.

But as I was driving, a hand appeared on the front window and knocked on it gently as if knocking on a door.

Qu Lian was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He swung the steering wheel and shook the car twice. Seeing that the handprint on the window did not move, he gritted his teeth, saw a big tree in front of him, stepped on the accelerator and drove the car towards the tree!

It doesn't matter. His car has good safety features. Even if he gets hit, his life shouldn't be in danger.

However, just when the car was about to collide with the tree, a figure jumped off the roof of the car, put his hands on the front of the car, and the car stopped abruptly!

"Qu Lian, do you want to live?" An anxious voice came from outside the car, and it seemed a little familiar.

Qu Lian opened his eyes wide and looked carefully towards the car window. With the help of the car lights, he finally saw Yan Changge's face clearly.

He quickly released his foot on the accelerator and turned off the engine. Yan Changge then let go of his hand, and the car stopped steadily in front of the tree. Apart from two deep handprints on the chassis cover, there was no other damage.

Qu Lian opened the door and got out of the car. He looked with wide eyes and said in disbelief, "Yan Changge?"

Yan Changge nodded: "It's me."

"You...are you alive or dead?" Qu Lian stepped forward and hugged Yan Changge, and wiped his face with his fingers, which were icy cold.

Qu Lian felt a chill in his heart, but he did not let go of Yan Changge. Instead, he hugged him tighter and said, "You are so cold, are you..."

He put his face against Yan Changge's chest. Yan Changge saw his movements, without changing his expression, and circulated his true energy, imitating the sound of a human heartbeat, which was beating and vibrating in his chest.

"Alive!" Qu Lian came out from Yan Changge's arms with a look of surprise and looked him up and down. His face and hands were fine, but his clothes were covered in dirt, which rubbed Qu Lian all over.

"You scared me to death!" Qu Lian patted his chest, pinched Yan Changge's arm and said, "Are you injured? How did you crawl out from underground?"

Yan Changge was silent for a moment and then said, "I was attacked by that firearm before and suffered some internal injuries. I need to be in seclusion to recuperate and no one can disturb me. I was worried about Wang Yanfeng and the surviving murderer, so I dug a hole nearby, blocked the top of the hole, and kept me in seclusion underground to heal. Now my internal injuries are gone. But when I just woke up and wanted to go back to the ground from underground, I saw someone sitting on top of my head, and he slapped you a few times. It seems that you were scared."

He was not lying. He was indeed exhausted after the battle with the murderer. He could only find a place to rest where he could watch over Wang Yanfeng and the murderer but not be discovered by others. He also did not want his true identity to be seen by others. There was nothing wrong with his explanation.

Fortunately, he stuffed all the clothes into the ground, otherwise Qu Lian was here, and it would be awkward for him to come out naked. However, Yan Changge was reluctant to use his true energy to transform.

Although he suddenly gained a large amount of merit, enough for him to maintain his human form for a long time, but after having such an experience of having to transform back to his original form, Yan Changge decided to save his true energy in the future, after all, his merit was not abundant.

Qu Lian wiped the sweat off his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "You didn't explain clearly on the phone, and you didn't even call me. I was so worried. You came out from underground in the middle of the night without even saying who you were. I was scared to death. If you had said you were Yan Changge, I wouldn't be afraid even if I was a ghost. Did you get hit?"

"No," Yan Changge looked at Qu Lian, and suddenly a subtle feeling arose in his heart, "Why aren't you afraid even if I become a ghost? Aren't people afraid of ghosts?"

Qu Lian pouted and said, "Even if you become a ghost, you must be a good ghost. You wander around in the human world and don't want to be reincarnated. You must be thinking about how many people you haven't helped every day. Why should I be afraid of a ghost like you? It's good that you didn't get hit. Let's go. You are so dirty. Go back and take a shower and change your clothes."

"You are dirty too." Yan Changge suddenly raised his hand and wiped Qu Lian's forehead.

When Qu Lian hugged Yan Changge just now, his hands were also covered with dust. Later, when he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, his face was naturally covered with dirt. Yan Changge wiped Qu Lian's face with his hands and looked at him with a particularly serious look.

Qu Lian's face inexplicably turned red, and she waved away Yan Changge's hand and said, "Alright, your hands must not be clean either, stop wiping them, and take a shower when you get home."

Yan Changge looked at him for a while, nodded and said, "Yeah."

After saying that, he put something in Qu Lian's hand. Qu Lian took it and saw that it was the mobile phone that he had dropped on the ground when he was scared just now.

Qu Lian swallowed his saliva and asked in disbelief: "Tell me, you, you, tell me, how good are your martial arts skills! How did you manage to jump onto the roof of my car the moment I hit you, and then pick up my phone, and then hold my car with both hands? I stepped on the accelerator to the bottom!"

"It's okay." Yan Changge smiled and stroked Qu Lian's face with his fingers. He always felt that Qu Lian with a silly expression was a little... tempting to touch.

Yan Changge had never had any love feelings, and he never knew whether he had any preferences, so he was not sure what he felt at this moment. He just thought Qu Lian was very cute.

He was already somewhat desperate and planned to stay underground for a few months, but suddenly he got a large amount of merit. Yan Changge quickly absorbed the merit and transformed it into true essence. After doing all this, he turned into a human form and planned to crawl out from underground when no one was around, and then he heard someone coming here.

He was familiar with Qu Lian's frivolous and anxious footsteps, and knew that this person was looking for him. First, Shen Yifei and others searched hard, and then Qu Lian ran to the crime scene alone regardless of the danger. He was no longer a thing outside the world, and he was tied to the people and things in this world.

He had planned to wait until Qu Lian left before leaving, so as not to arouse his suspicion. But he overheard a phone call between Qu Lian and his assistant, and Yan Changge realized that it was Qu Lian who helped him get this huge amount of merit.

When he saved Qu Lian, he didn't think about anything else. He just hoped to get the merit of arresting Wang Yanfeng. After all, Qu Lian was a bit strange. He didn't know how to thank him for saving his life, but he could get merit for shielding him from the wind. Yan Changge never thought that the money he never expected to get could actually be exchanged for so much merit.

If he still had some resentment towards the ungrateful Qu Lian at first, now Yan Changge only felt that this person was really...

What was it? Yan Changge couldn't think of it.

But after hearing the conversation between the two, Yan Changge decided to come out without waiting for Qu Lian to leave. After all, this person came to find him, didn't he?

Qu Lian felt a little uncomfortable under Yan Changge's gaze, and felt that the places he touched were also starting to get hot. He wiped his face with his hands awkwardly, and after his face turned darker, he said: "This place is dirty too? Forget it, let's go home quickly."

He got into the car in a hurry as if something was chasing him from behind, but Yan Changge followed him to the passenger seat and not only did he say anything, he also grabbed his hand again.

"What the hell!" Qu Lian felt like she was about to explode from the heat, "I want to drive!"

Yan Changge curled his lips and said, "I just gained some experience from my retreat, and my internal strength has increased a little, which is just right to help you replenish your yang energy."

Although the true essence transformed from merit is precious, Yan Changge is willing to use it on Qu Lian.

The author has something to say:

It is said that before Qu Xiaolian knew Yan Changge's identity, she liked to sleep with Yan Changge in her arms at night, with her head on his chest. One day, she woke up in the middle of the night -

Qu Lian (rubbing against Yan Changge’s chest): Where’s your heart beating? Where’s your heart beating? Where’s your heart beating?

Yan Changge: ...

After knowing Yan Changge's identity——

Qu Lian: Why don’t you imitate heartbeats anytime and anywhere? You scared me to death in the middle of the night. Yan Changge: I usually imitate, but after having sex with you…

Qu Lian (with a puzzled look on his face): What’s wrong?

Yan Changge took out a romance novel (expressionless): I think some of the things said here are quite true.

Qu Lian went over to take a look—

Romance novel: You annoying little goblin, you're almost draining me dry~

Yan Changge (serious face): I don’t have much merit, it’s almost been drained dry.

Qu Lian: …
