Qiu Miao: My fear is that General Gu will become a stripper with heavy makeup on.

This time Qiu Yanping did not forget to take back his golden needles. He opened the door and let the two big cats that had been waiting for a long time come in.

"Mrs. Gu is fine now. She just feels a little weak. She just needs to eat something to nourish herself." Qiu Yanping said as he looked at Gu's father. Upon hearing what he said, Gu's father nodded several times in succession, then twisted his chubby body and hurried to the bed.

Gu Wenle saw Qiu Yanping staring at his father's back in silence, and his elder brother seemed to be out of sorts. He raised his eyebrows in confusion, coughed lightly, and asked, "You two's reaction is not right. What happened?"

Qiu Yanping pulled himself back to his senses and shook his head, "No. I just saw that your father was very worried about your mother, and I felt very good about it."

Gu Wenle looked at his elder brother and cast a questioning look. Mr. Qiu's behavior was unusual. Does Qiu Yanping look like someone who would express such emotion? It's not normal.

Gu Wenye saw Gu Wenle's confusion. In fact, he didn't know much more than Gu Wenle. He shook his head slightly, stood beside Qiu Yanping and looked in the direction of his gaze. He said, "Well, my father has always been like this. I have seen and heard a lot of him. All the men in the Gu family are like this."

Gu Wenle raised his eyebrows towards his elder brother. This was a good opportunity. He nodded in agreement, "That's right."

Gu Wenye glanced at his younger brother who was still standing in front of them, as bright as a light bulb. The younger brother showed no intention of leaving at all.

So, Gu Wenye took Qiu Yanping away and avoided the issue of his younger brother, who was a huge presence.

Qiu Yanping was particularly obedient and allowed Gu Wenye to pull him away, but it seemed that when facing Gu Wenye, he basically had no intention of fighting back.

"What did Mr. Qiu see there?" asked Gu Wenye.

"Nothing." Qiu Yanping said unhappily. He would rather keep what he saw to himself so that no one would know about it.

He curled his lips inwardly, looking at the man in front of him who frowned because of his refusal to cooperate, he wanted to laugh. He raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles between the man's eyebrows, chuckled, and said, "Why are you so entangled? What did I see? I was the one who was scared, not you. Besides, it's all in the past. Don't you know what it matters?"

Gu Wenye looked at Qiu Yanping seriously with a stiff face, "Mr. Qiu, the nightmare beast reflects the fear in your heart. Once the fear is magnified, it may cause serious consequences at an inappropriate time."

Qiu Yanping was stunned, as if he was somewhat frightened by Gu Wenye's great principles. He paused for a few seconds, narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his chin and looked at the man in front of him, "Serious consequences?"

Gu Wenye nodded.

Qiu Yanping pulled the man's face and said, "Nonsense, don't I know clearly? You are just trying to trick me into seeing something, right?"

Gu Wenye kept a straight face, and even though his lover was pulling him like that, he didn't laugh at all, and stared at Qiu Yanping very seriously.

Qiu Yanping raised his eyebrows, "Are you so curious about what I saw?"

Gu Wenye's mouth was pulled out by Qiu Yanping, and he said vaguely, "I am worried about you."

"Oh." Qiu Yanping changed the topic, "So, do you really want to know what I saw?"

Gu Wenye blinked and nodded.

Qiu Yanping was amused by the man. He had a serious appearance that made it hard for people to suspect him, but his inner curiosity was totally inconsistent with his image. He wrinkled his nose and said, "Okay, then I'll tell you. General Gu, get ready."

Gu Wenye paused and nodded.

"Are you ready?" Qiu Yanping asked.

Gu Wenye nodded again.

Qiu Yanping said, "I saw General Gu wearing stripper clothes and heavy makeup, shaking his hips and taking off his clothes in front of me."

News Industry: "..."

Qiu Yanping grinned.

Gu Wenye looked helplessly at Qiu Yanping, who was clearly not telling the truth. He knew that he could not get the truth from Qiu Yanping. He raised his hand and rubbed Qiu Yanping's head, shaking his head helplessly, "Okay. If this is what you are afraid of... then I want to make it less scary, okay?"

Qiu Yanping blinked twice quickly, and after a long while he finally uttered a syllable, "...what do you mean?"

Gu Wenye smiled and stroked Qiu Yanping's lips with his finger, attracting Qiu Yanping's attention. Then he took a step forward, getting within a few centimeters of Qiu Yanping, and slid his fingers to the buttons of his collar, slowly unbuttoning them one by one, gradually revealing his smooth and thick chest. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Just cover it with better memories."

Qiu Yanping swallowed his saliva, and the sound of "gulp" made Qiu Yanping's old face red. He was sure that Gu Wenye must have heard it as well, because the teasing smile on the man's face became more obvious.

Gu Wenye stopped his movements. Qiu Yanping breathed a sigh of relief but was also a little disappointed. He cleared his throat and said, "I didn't expect that General Gu's movements would be so interesting to watch. But it's still a little off. The scale is not big enough, and there is no makeup or change of clothes." He pointed and commented on it from beginning to end.

The smile on Gu Wenye's face froze slightly. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Qiu knows a lot about this?"

Qiu Yanping paused for a few seconds, and felt that this sentence was a bit dangerous. He changed his words and said, "That's not the case. It's just a little imagination."

Gu Wenye smiled but said nothing. He buttoned his shirt again, doing it very carefully, without any trace of the lustful look on his face.

Qiu Yanping pursed his lips with some regret, but said nothing. He turned up the collar of the man's coat and straightened it.

Mother Gu woke up not long after falling asleep. She was completely unaware of what had happened. She just said "eh" in confusion and smiled at them apologetically, "I think I overslept? I'm getting old and I always lack sleep. I'm sorry."

Father Gu didn't explain, but just said, "It's normal. Even a cat would be lazy in winter." As he spoke, he looked at his son. Gu Wenle nodded and understood what his father meant. He echoed with true feelings, "I want to sleep too. I wish I could sleep all day and only get up to eat."

"Brother, you will get fat." Mother Gu frowned and looked at her little son who had big dreams with a worried look on her face.

Gu Wenle: “…”QAQ You really love to tell the truth.

"How did things go with Ah Ye and Mr. Qiu's wedding?" Mother Gu was still more concerned about this, so she looked at her husband and youngest son and asked.

"..." The father and son looked at each other, and Father Gu coughed, "Well, Madam is right, it's better to let the two children decide for themselves. They can do it whenever they think it's best, and we don't need to worry too much."

Gu Wenle was shocked as he listened to this. It was obvious that his father had forgotten to follow up on this matter and actually found such a high-sounding excuse.

Father Gu gave his little son a warning look, telling him not to tell anyone. Gu Wenle smiled and held out five fingers.

Father Gu: “…”

The five pearl fish that were deceived were recovered.

Here, a family of three was talking about the eldest son's marriage, while over there, the parties involved, after a brief joke and flirting, turned serious in the blink of an eye and got down to business.

The nightmare beasts appeared several times in a short period of time. For Gu Wenye, who was not familiar with this kind of monsters, he did not smell much alarm that needed to be taken seriously. However, Qiu Yanping was too familiar with their habits. Especially those who were attacked by the nightmare beasts were all related to the General's Mansion. Shen Shenzhi was the playmate of the Gu brothers since childhood, Huang Qice was the bad cat who had planned bad things against Gu Wenye, not to mention Mrs. Gu.

Qiu Yanping couldn't figure out whether these similarities were related to the General's Mansion or to him?

"Very few Nightmare Beasts will actively attack humans, not to mention that the Nightmare Beast that attacked Shen Shenzhi has already been dealt with by me. This signal will more or less alert those Nightmare Beasts that are ready to make a move. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for such a situation to occur one after another in a short period of time." Qiu Yanping said.

"Is someone driving the Nightmare Beast to attack?" Gu Wenye asked.

“It’s hard to say.”

Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye were walking and talking. When they reached a corner, Qiu Yanping stopped and asked, "Do you remember the night you found my cat body?"

"remember."

"Actually, I was looking for the Earth Spirit God that night," said Qiu Yanping.

"Earth Spirit Lord?" Gu Wenye repeated the new term Qiu Yanping had come up with in confusion, "What is it?"

"The spirits that control all matters big and small within the range. A lot of things can be learned from their mouths." Qiu Yanping said as he squatted down and knocked on the corner of the wall, rhythmically as if he was beating the beat, and sang syllables that Gu Wenye couldn't understand. At the same time, he took out a handful of fine salt from somewhere and sprinkled it evenly around the corner of the wall, creating an isolated space. He placed a plate of white rice in the circle and inserted a half-lit candle into it.

Gu Wenye watched Qiu Yanping do all this neatly, and the humming in his mouth stopped abruptly at this moment.

A small ball of white mist slowly took shape in the circular space created by the fine salt. It turned into a translucent milky white human figure, only a few dozen centimeters tall, about the same height as a big cat standing on all fours.

"Lord Di Ling." Qiu Yanping said.

The half-tall figure bowed and performed an ancient etiquette. The voice was that of an old man, "Master Qiu."

Gu Wenye subconsciously looked at Qiu Yanping when he heard the title. Qiu Yanping noticed the man's gaze and subconsciously straightened his chest and back. He felt a little proud for some reason. He curled his lips imperceptibly - did you hear that, Master, Master! This is the correct title. All of you are not as polite as the Earth Spirit Duke. Humph.

"I asked you to pay attention to the abnormal situation in the central city some time ago. Did you notice anything?" Qiu Yanping asked.

"Except for that Lord... you have already met him." Lord Di Ling said respectfully. Qiu Yanping knew that he was referring to Dong Huang. Lord Di Ling continued, "Besides that, Central City is undergoing a transformation, Master. Only the fittest will survive. Only those who are selected and the last ones to stand can survive."

Gu Wenye frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Who selected it?" Qiu Yanping asked.

"The ruler of this earth." The Earth Spirit said, it raised its hand and pointed in the void, and all the information it knew was presented in a multimedia form and projected into the void.

The protagonist is someone very familiar to the journalism industry.
