The matter was finally settled. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, Shekh also asked the small system to keep an eye on things.
After checking Pu County and finding no other forces besides the two of them, Shi Jinzhe and Shehe returned to the forest with peace of mind. When they left, Pu Kui came over and insisted on seeing them off.
The guesthouse instance is still ongoing, and the player spent the first night in fear. In the middle of the night, he saw three people walk through the wall into the courtyard, which was impossible to leave. He was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body, especially since one of them was wearing an embroidered red wedding dress.
Shi Jinzhe was saying, "Tomorrow we'll go to the city planetarium to see a simulated black star explosion. Let's go back and rest for the night..."
"Boss!" The famous player with his face stuck in the door crack greeted him with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Shi Jin withdrew one leg and asked Pu Kui for help, "Go and scare them. We're leaving, you can just go back."
"You really know how to order people around." Shekh walked towards the room he had come from, and before turning into the corridor, he saw that not only was the palm tree frightening, but it also scared away the three ghosts chasing after the player.
The heart-wrenching cries for help remained outside the door. They went into the room and were back in the player rest area in the blink of an eye.
They stayed overnight, and the next day they returned to explore the romantic mysteries of the universe. In the following days, they began searching for suitable guardians in various worlds.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. On the last day of the year, the two invited Bai Weishuang and Mu Bai to the artificial island to celebrate the New Year together.
Shi Jinzhe left the [Life] card in Mu Bai's world so that his short absence of a few days would not have any impact.
The two Burmese pythons in the house always seem to grow a bit longer every time they meet. When Shehe comes home, she goes straight to the glass enclosure to hug her baby. Mu Bai really likes the house on the artificial island; it's tall, spacious, and not oppressive. Shi Jinzhe thinks this must be a common problem for large, non-human creatures.
Many people gave gifts to his family, each one extremely valuable. Although he was not a figure in the business world, his legend was everywhere. In the last half day, Chi Yu also came over.
He was carrying his most prized wife cake.
Hi hi~ Happy New Year.
Chi Yu's hair was dyed back to its flamboyant red. When he came over, he saw two unfamiliar people playing with snakes with Sheh in the glass room. He asked Shi Jinzhe, "Are those... your biological parents?"
Shi Jinzhe took a sip of water: "Yes, we recognized each other a while ago."
“You look just like me, definitely related by blood.” Chi Yu remained polite and didn’t look at me for long, quickly glancing at me before looking away. “You only show up once every few months now, your whereabouts are unpredictable. People looking for you have all come to me. About two months ago, there was this guy who was quite strange. I always felt like he wanted to say something to me, but he couldn’t say it. He just kept gesturing and making noises, which I couldn’t understand, so I dismissed him.”
"Ignore them, they're all just trying to claim kinship." Shi Jinzhe knew this; they were players from this world who knew his identity from the forum.
I failed the test instance and was just trying to take a shortcut to leave the game. I'll go back and resolve this tomorrow.
After chatting for a while, Chi Yu asked Shi Jinzhe before leaving, "Are you setting off fireworks for your wife on New Year's Eve? From what time to what time? I can catch one."
Shi Jinzhe: "I won't tell you."
"Oh dear... you really are something." Chi Yu waved his hand dismissively. "Then I'm leaving. Please give my regards to your parents. I won't bother you any longer."
Shi Jin leaned against the door frame and said, "No need to see me out."
He closed the door and walked into the glass room. Once inside, he found that Shehe and Mubai each had one snake, but Bai Weishuang was not there.
Where is my mom?
Mu Bai: "I went out to get a drink of water."
Shekh: "I went to the bathroom."
"..." Does he look like an idiot? "Can you two coordinate your stories?"
Mu Bai: "Don't ask about adults' affairs."
Shi Jinzhe: "...Okay..."
Outside the artificial island.
As Chi Yu hummed a song, he walked to the front of the car and noticed a woman standing next to him. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was none other than Shi Jinzhe's mother.
That face looked as if time had stood still; it was a youth that no amount of cosmetic surgery could match, and you could remember it after just one look.
Bai Weishuang gave him what she thought was a kind smile. "I have something to ask you. Could you tell me how Shi Jinzhe has been doing these past twenty years?"
“Uh…no problem.” Chi Yu leaned against the car door and said his first words, “Let me tell you, the Cheng family is…a complete scoundrel.”
Chi Yu rambled on and on, telling everything he knew and had heard, from Shi Jinzhe's childhood to the bullying he suffered at the hands of Cheng You'an. As he spoke, Bai Weishuang's face grew colder and colder, just as her name suggested.
There were many details she hadn't seen in the Heavenly Secret Card, and Chi Yu's voice weakened as he spoke.
If he kept talking, Shi Jinzhe's mother would probably do something drastic.
Bai Weishuang: "Do you have time now?"
"have…"
For the first time, Chi Yu realized how amazing his sixth sense was, and for the first time, he also realized that Chi Yu was someone who loved to watch the drama unfold.
He actually left without warning, taking Bai Weishuang to the cemetery of the Cheng family of three.
Winter days are short and dark, and the word "cemetery" added another layer of debuff to the temperature. Chi Yu led the group into the cemetery, shivering. When they arrived at Cheng Yun's grave, he said, "This is it."
Bai Weishuang kicked away the things placed in front of the tombstone, and Chi Yu said with a keen eye, "Not many people come. It's just that the Cheng family's distant relatives, eight generations removed, come by during holidays."
"Hmm." Bai Weishuang looked at each name one by one, and stood in front of Cheng Yun's grave. "Greedy and insatiable. I gave you advice but you didn't listen. You lost your own child and then tormented mine. Did you think that willow branch was a good thing that only brought wealth and glory? It was also a thing that would kill you. When you wanted to give it up, you broke off the branches to keep the benefits for yourself. It's your own fault that the three of you are reunited in the underground."
Bai Weishuang glanced at Cheng Youan's name, "especially since he died the fastest."
Still furious, she placed her hand on Cheng Yun's tombstone and did something else.
Chi Yu watched from a distance, feeling that Bai Weishuang was silently muttering something. From the moment she started speaking, a chilling wind began to blow, making his heart tighten.
After a moment, Bai Weishuang removed her hand, "Don't even think about having a next life, just suffer down here."
She kicked each tombstone once before letting out a sigh of relief and walking outside.
Chi Yu followed behind her, seriously suspecting that Shi Jinzhe's entire family were some hidden masters in some remote mountain village.
The main thing is that the only normal person in this family is Shi Jinzhe; apart from being obsessed with love, he has no other problems.
As Chi Yu left the cemetery gate, a low-key Bentley Mulsanne was parked next to his car.
Bai Weishuang saw Sher pop his head out of the car window and asked, "How long have you been waiting?"
"Not long, mainly because if I don't come soon, I'm afraid Mu Bai will say you went to drink the pool water."
"That's what he said before I left." Shi Jin got out of the car and helped Bai Weishuang open the back door.
Seeing Mu Bai sitting motionless in the back row, Bai Weishuang said, "See? Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for him to find a partner."
He was at a loss for words, what could he say, and even if he did, he wouldn't be happy to say it.
He changed the subject, "It's cold, there are clothes inside, remember to put them on when you sit down."
“Wait a minute,” Bai Weishuang called to Chi Yu, “kid, remember not to go out tomorrow, especially in the afternoon. Just stay at home.”
"Huh?" Chi Yu was confused.
"Don't ask, just do as I say." Shi Jinzhe closed the door and reminded him again before driving, "Remember not to go out this afternoon."
The car sped away from the suburbs, and halfway there, fireworks suddenly lit up the sky outside.
The dazzling fireworks illuminated the car windows with a vibrant green glow. Sheikh rolled down the window and said, "I want to go to the amusement park."
Shi Jinzhe: "It's very cold, and we're open as usual today, so there are a lot of people."
“I’m going,” Shekh reiterated.
"Okay, let's go." Shi Jinzhe turned around and led her towards the amusement park.
