As the wedding video on the screen ended, Qin Nan and Murong Xue chatted happily. Hearing the voices, Shen Yan's thoughts were pulled back; it all happened five years ago.
However, he never asked why Gengchen seemed to treat him somewhat specially.
At first, he didn't know that Gengchen only had him as a beast, and he resisted Gengchen a lot. Although it was useless, he was too weak for Gengchen. Gengchen could easily crush him with a flick of his wrist.
Except for occasionally losing control and going a bit too far when doing something, Gengchen never hurt him.
Even when he panicked and desperately tried to back away because it was too unreal, Gengchen didn't give up on him and insisted on pulling him out of the corner and holding him in the palm of his hand.
He had been passively accepting Gengchen's...love with trepidation?
He wasn't sure, unsure if Gengchen was using him as a plaything to bully him as revenge for that night.
After all, Geng Chen was still resentful about Shen Yan's escape early in the morning, and he must have been furious to have such a deep impression of it.
Shen Yan was imprisoned in the immortal mansion, while Geng Chen often went out. When he came back, he would capture Shen Yan, clean him up, and then take him to bed.
Later, Shen Yan stopped struggling and resisting. It was just a deserved end for him, after he was momentarily blinded by lust and had lustful thoughts.
After three years of this relationship, Geng Chen brought Meng Zhang to the Immortal Abode once. It is unclear what they were talking about. After their conversation, Geng Chen was called away by Zhu Jiuyin, while Meng Zhang stayed for a while. During his conversation with Shen Yan, they discussed some old matters.
It was only then that Shen Yan realized that he was Geng Chen's only beast. He often went out simply because he was restless and would wander around listening to gossip or taking E Ning to deceive people and beasts. He did not go looking for other beasts.
Shen Yan was shocked, and so was Meng Zhang. He really didn't know that Shen Yan actually thought Geng Chen was a womanizing beast who philandered everywhere. It was such a blatant injustice to the beast.
The misunderstanding was cleared up, but the doubts remained.
Shen Yan didn't know what was special about him. He was just an ordinary mirage beast. Why would he be favored by Geng Chen? And shouldn't the impression he left on Geng Chen be that of a lewd and opportunistic beast who took advantage of others?
However, he didn't have a chance to ask. When he was thrown onto the bed by Gengchen again, he didn't accept it under duress, but instead took the initiative to get closer to Gengchen for the first time.
Geng Chen was overjoyed; his beast had actually taken the initiative to be affectionate with him, which was a happy occasion.
Then, Shen Yan apologized to him, saying he had misunderstood him as a scumbag womanizer.
Geng Chen ignored what Shen Yan said later and was furious about the earlier statement that he was a womanizer who had affairs everywhere.
He wondered why the beast who had once been flirtatious and proactive towards him suddenly avoided him like the plague, and that he could only get his hands on him if he was tough enough.
So that's how it is!
The problem is, why don't you just ask him?
Besides, how does he resemble a philanderer?
Who spread this rumor?!
Although Geng Chen was quite angry, he decided to deal with these matters later. He wanted to punish Shen Yan first. How could Shen Yan, a beast of such great power, listen to rumors and not believe him?
Afterwards, Shen Yan suffered greatly and never managed to ask any questions, nor did he remember asking them later.
Because Gengchen spent more and more time in the Immortal Abode, he later threw E'ning in to keep Shenyan company when he was away.
Then Gengchen prepared the wedding arrangements and forced him to bow to heaven and earth.
In the world of mountains and seas, there is no such thing as a marriage certificate. The only valid thing is to worship heaven and earth, and heaven and earth witness the Dao, which cannot be regretted.
"Xiaoyan?"
"Hmm?" Shen Yan suddenly came to his senses and looked at Qin Nan.
"Do you want to stay for dinner or go home?"
"I'm fine with anything, you decide, Nan-ge."
"Let's have lunch before going back. Pi Sheng will be back at noon, and I'll let Xiao Wei and the others know."
"Um."
Bi Shen had no objection to this. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival was followed by the National Day holiday, he gave his employees an early holiday. He was free at the moment and was thinking of going back to the old town in the afternoon to visit Li You.
Several days had passed, and he wanted to see if Li You was still avoiding him. If she wasn't, it was time to get down to business.
Moreover, it's a long holiday, so there's plenty of time.
The group stayed to sit and chat, and Pi Sheng rushed back around noon.
After lunch, Pi Sheng sat for a while before heading back to work, while Qin Nan and the others took a car back.
Chi Wei and the other two ate snacks that Qin Nan had made for them at noon. They didn't eat much rice, but the snacks were enough to fill them up.
Bai Hao and Geng Chen, along with E Ning, have not returned for another day.
In order to get to the root of the problem, Bai Hao chose Yue Dong as his starting point.
They used the money they got from Bai Hao to live a life of luxury for a long time, and even gained the capital to start a business. Since they had enjoyed the benefits, they should pay the price.
Not wanting to get involved himself, Bai Hao found a fraudulent company, disguised himself as an unfamiliar person to join, and then used their resources to defraud Yue Dong.
First, he emptied his pockets, then took the person away. After that, all he had to do was ensure that Yue Dong didn't die; he couldn't commit the sin of killing.
Gengchen transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged Taoist priest, while E Ning reverted to his original form, resembling a rabbit.
On the afternoon of his arrival at the Qin residence, he pretended to be a traveling Taoist priest and, quite "unintentionally and coincidentally," resolved a family's ghost-related problem.
And it was by chance that he came here, just in time for the National Day holiday. So he found a shop, paid the rent, set up a table in front of the shop, spread out a Bagua cloth, and sat there every day to perform divination or sell talismans.
He knew basic divination for the Gengchen year, but he wasn't very proficient in talismans. However, Bai Hao was an expert and provided him with a sufficient amount of various talismans every day.
In short, I'm dedicated to building connections and establishing a reputation every day.
Now everyone in the city knows that there's a powerful Taoist priest who does fortune telling and divination.
Qin Nan had only heard of it occasionally, but he never thought it was Geng Chen, because E Ning hadn't started speaking yet, and he really thought it was some Taoist priest who had come to settle down.
As for whether it would compete with Bai Hao for business, Qin Nan wasn't worried. No matter how powerful the calculations were, they couldn't compare to Bai Hao's talent and abilities.
What Tengxue and Qiong Ruiheng released under cover of night was a homeless ghost.
There are two types of house ghosts: one is a house ghost that occupies the house, and the other is a house ghost that guards the house.
This house ghost, having lost its home, becomes a house-occupying ghost. It won't harm people, but it will create all sorts of strange things to drive away the people in the house and then take over the house for itself.
Gengchen was waiting for the time when his wife's family would have trouble.
In the afternoon, Bi Shen drove Qin Nan and the others back to the Qin residence. With the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day approaching, there were more and more people in the city. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, driving would no longer be allowed in the city.
Bi Shen didn't go inside to sit down. He thanked Qin Nan and said goodbye, then drove over to find Li You.
Li You has finalized the renovation plans for the Qin residence with Qin Nan. With the long holiday approaching and no overtime work, she's quite free.
Li You kept scrolling through her phone, playing games and watching videos, without stopping for a moment, but she couldn't do anything for very long.
He had been feeling irritable and depressed for several days. He hadn't heard from Bi Shen since they parted ways. He really didn't want to care, but he couldn't help checking his phone all the time, and he even almost called Bi Shen several times.
Fortunately, he's currently unemployed and has nothing to complain about or vent, otherwise he would be suffocating.
