Chapter 61 The Dust Settles

Pei Du suddenly woke up.

The surrounding walls were grayish white, and the smell of medicine lingered around Pei Du's nose. Pei Du frowned and tilted his head, and heard the occasional footsteps of the nurses outside.

Pei Du moved his fingertips and felt the warmth and weight of the back of his hand.

"Sheng Shi is jealous..."

Sheng Shixian was lying beside the hospital bed. When he heard Pei Du's voice, he immediately raised his head.

His beast ears were now exposed, not hidden like before. His hair was messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were two dark circles under his eyes. He looked very tired.

"Awake." Sheng Shi envied Pei Du staring at him blankly, and reached out to rub his black hair. "The doctor said you fainted from fright. Pei Du, you fainted for a whole day, you are so timid!"

Pei Du's Adam's apple moved. Sheng Shi was envious of his face, which was still fair and clean, without the wrinkles and wrinkles of old age. There was a sense of helplessness and arrogance in his voice when he spoke.

Pei Du held Sheng Shixian's palm tightly. He lowered his eyes, and his voice sounded dry because he hadn't spoken for a long time, "...Hold me."

Sheng Shixian was stunned. He didn't know what Pei Du meant, but he still hugged Pei Du into his arms through the quilt and asked, "Are you cold?"

He remembered that Pei Du was most afraid of the cold. In winter, he would wrap himself up in layer upon layer of clothes, wrapping himself like a ball.

Sheng Shi sighed with envy. Pei Du was so weak that he didn't know how much medicine he would have to give him in the future to restore him to normal.

Now he was actually frightened to the point of fainting. It seems that he can't endure it psychologically.

Sheng Shixian secretly thought that he should be more tolerant of him in the future, so that Pei Du would not suffer a serious psychological trauma and lie unconscious in the hospital for several days.

Pei Du's cheek was pressed against the artery of Sheng Shixian's neck, which was warm and contained the breath of life. After a long time, Pei Du touched Sheng Shixian's chin with the tip of his nose to relax his nerves.

"Sheng Shixian, why did you go against me before?" Pei Du's voice came from Sheng Shixian's neck. He reached down and pinched the base of his long tail without waiting for Sheng Shixian to answer. "I didn't mean to step on you."

Sheng Shixian's body stiffened slightly. He had never mentioned anything to Pei Du, and Pei Du had never remembered it either.

Now he actually remembered it.

Sheng Shi's eyes were filled with envy. He blinked his eyes, as if he was embarrassed. "You stepped on it even if it wasn't intentional. It was my newly grown tail, and you didn't even say a word of apology to me."

Sheng Shixian's tail has many uses, such as attacking, entanglement, and courtship. Therefore, Sheng Shixian carefully washes his tail every day to make the hair on the tail fluffy, soft and stylish.

But Pei Du was walking along the right path but he had to step on him.

As a result, Sheng Shixian's tail was injured and some hair fell off. There was a spot of fur that was noticeably duller than other places and it didn't look pretty at all.

But Pei Du did not apologize to Sheng Shixian, nor did he talk to him. He just turned and left, and later he even forgot about Sheng Shixian's existence.

Extremely annoying.

Pei Du finally understood why Sheng Shixian had always been against him in the past. He actually held a grudge against him for so many years because of this incident.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, I know I was wrong." Pei Du lifted his eyelids and looked up, his eyebrows were curved, and his dark pupils were full of half-true and half-false innocence and apology, "I will massage your tail every night in the future, please forgive me"

Sheng Shixian knew that Pei Du was trying to get away with it again. He held Pei Du's back and closed his eyes slightly, "It depends on your performance."

Pei Du: "Forgive me if I perform well"

Sheng Shi was jealous: “…”

I forgive you even if you don't perform well.

"Of course, how can I forgive you if you don't perform well?" Sheng Shi pretended to be cold and cruel. He added, "I will only give you three chances to make up for it."

Pei Du almost couldn't help laughing. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go learn massage tomorrow."

Sheng Shi hummed enviously and didn't respond. He leaned his head on Pei Du's shoulder, and his long tail swayed from time to time to express his pleasure.

"Sheng Shixian, I have always worn the jade pendant you gave me." Pei Du kissed Sheng Shixian's earlobe, "Let's get married."

Sheng Shi raised his head in envy. He looked at Pei Du and paused for a few seconds before speaking: "Humans and aliens cannot marry."

"I'm not a human, I'm the same as you." Pei Du pulled up his sleeves, exposing the red veins on his arms.

Exposing the identity of the alien is tantamount to putting oneself in danger. Pei Du had been hesitant for a long time, but now he finally made a choice.

He didn't want to keep Sheng Shixian waiting any longer.

Sheng Shiyan's throat rolled. He was silent for a while and then said, "No, we can't get married now."

He was now penniless and depended entirely on Pei Du for support. Moreover, the prejudice against foreigners had not yet been eliminated, and Sheng Shixian was unwilling to let Pei Du take risks.

Pei Du tilted his head: "When do you want to do it?"

"You are so impatient?" Sheng Shi laughed enviously.

Pei Du nodded: "Mr. Sheng is so charming, there are so many people chasing you out there, of course I am anxious."

In his youth, Sheng Shixian was very successful in the business circle and often appeared in various places. Pei Du saw more than 20 or 30 pieces of scandalous news about him in the news.

Sheng Shi sneered enviously: "Small-minded."

He stroked Pei Du's obviously thin back and said, "One year. We will get married in one year."

He wanted to become a military commander within this year and return with a different identity.

Pei Du narrowed his eyes and smiled helplessly: "Okay."

*

At this point, most things have been concluded, with only some finishing touches left to be done.

Yan Xuwen had killed countless aliens and ordinary people over the years, but was strangled to death on the edge of a mountain road by Sheng Shixian and Lin Xuqiu.

After searching for nearly three months, the military dug up 68 bodies from under the house where Yan Xuwen lived. Through genetic comparison, they confirmed that one of the bodies was Qi Sheng.

Pei Du buried Qi Sheng's bones in the place where he lived before and also erected a monument for him. He had few friends over the years, and Qi Sheng was the most important one among them.

Now it is buried underground.

Ling Yu was arrested and imprisoned not long after. In addition to the tax issues regarding Sheng's assets, the case also involved the deaths of Sheng Shixian and the former president Sheng.

Ling Yu stole special drugs from the laboratory, bred and domesticated alien species privately, and designed to poison Mr. Sheng. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the military - he will be reformed in the military prison for the rest of his life.

Nearly 90 percent of the evidence of Ling Yu's crimes were provided by An Jia. An Jia had known Ling Yu for many years and told him everything that Ling Yu had done over the years.

On the day Ling Yu was sentenced, Anjia went to see him specially.

The two of them stared at each other through the thick and cold iron bars. Anjia was bare-faced and wearing ordinary work clothes. Lingyu was wearing prison clothes and had stubble on his chin.

Ling Yu didn't ask An Jia why he did that, he just looked at An Jia and sneered.

An Jia seemed unaware of his gaze. She looked straight at Ling Yu and spoke calmly, "Ling Yu, I found a new job. The salary is not high. I am a clerk now, but I have saved some money. Maybe I can pay off my debts in a few decades."

Ling Yu stared at her without saying anything.

An Jia smiled at him and said, "I'm not as useless as you say. Ling Yu, I will have a good life in the future, but you won't be able to see it."

Ling Yu blinked his eyes, grabbed the iron railing, and said in a trembling voice: "Anjia...whether you believe it or not, I really like you. I did so much for you, for us..."

"You're doing this for yourself!" An Jia interrupted Ling Yu coldly.

When she recalled her past with Ling Yu, she felt sad and heartbroken, but mostly disgusted. Ling Yu turned her from a human into a dog, crushing her self-esteem and then pretending to glue it back together, making her suffer.

Pei Du is right, she is her own person and no one can manipulate her. She is also free and has the right to choose how she lives her life.

"Ling Yu, this is the last time we will see each other. I hope you can reform yourself seriously in there." An Jia stood up. She had nothing else to say to Ling Yu. She turned around and left the prison. "No."

"No...no, Anjia! Anjia!" Ling Yu suddenly couldn't help but bang on the window. He watched Anjia walk away, and unspeakable fear surged in his heart.

[Ling Yu, you are a piece of trash.]

The sound of the PUA ball rang in Ling Yu's ears again. Ling Yu grabbed his hair and murmured, "I am not I am not..."

He banged on the window more violently, and the detective standing guard nearby rushed over, held his neck and gave him a sedative.

Ling Yu suddenly felt weak and collapsed on the table. He was dragged to the cell by the criminal police.

"I'm not... trash..."

*

Pei Du picked up all the fragments of Gouqie Toutoushen's system, but Gouqie Toutoushen's soul had gone somewhere unknown, so Pei Du could only spend nearly a week to put its shell back together.

After waiting for nearly twenty days, one night in the middle of the night, the blue light slowly began to emit from the system.

Pei Du saw it squeak twice, then spin quickly and float into the sky.

"Little Gou Gou, I'm back! So happy and complete!" Gou Gou was very proud. The light on its blue ball was almost blinding, but its body shape did not change much after absorbing the energy.

Pei Du looked at it spinning around and said, "Where have you been for so long? I thought you were dead."

"I won't die!" Gouqiu Tousheng floated to Pei Du's side. It detected Pei Du's Yang Qi value and said in surprise, "How come you have gained weight and your Yang Qi value has reached 1000!"

Pei Du was very calm: "Maybe it's because I did a lot with Sheng Shixian."

Survive and survive: "..."

Pei Du really didn't treat it as an outsider.

"I promised to give you half of the Yang Qi points. You can take it now."

After Pei Du had taken all the spoils, he would go to Sheng Shixian for more.

After a sneaky turn, it did not refuse and took away 500 Yang Qi points from Pei Du neatly.

After it ended, a layer of blue light wrapped around Pei Du's body. He mumbled something but no one knew what he said. Pei Du only felt the warmth on his body gradually getting heavier, and soon it was filled with other life temperature.

"Okay! I promised to give you a brand new body, and I did it!" Gouqie Tousheng stopped in front of Pei Du and said happily, "You have a bright future, you must live well in the future!"

Pei Du smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely live well."

After wandering around for two rounds, Pei Du looked at it and said, "Are you ready to go to the next world?"

"No, I will stay for a while longer. I will not leave until there are no more safety risks around you. I am very responsible for you!"

Pei Du also said whatever he wanted: "Okay."

*

A year later, Sheng Shixian became the new army chief, the first foreign army chief in the history of the army. In the same year, Gong Yuanshen retired, and Pei Du took over his position, responsible for the operation of the entire experimental area.

The results of Lu Xun's reforms were obvious. The legal provisions related to alien species were revised, mainly advocating mutual assistance and harmonious coexistence between humans and alien species.

It's a little difficult to get everyone to accept it in a short period of time, but at least the situation is slowly improving.

There are already positions in society that are specifically provided for people of different species. They are also included in the category of citizens, and are part of society and part of humanity.

A year later, Pei Du attended a high-level meeting between the military and the laboratory. He walked into the meeting room in a white lab coat and saw the military commander half-sitting on a chair, his uniform loose, his lips slightly closed, revealing a deep red complexion.

Pei Du walked over, and Sheng Shixian also stood up. He took off his military cap and extended a hand to Pei Du, "Hello, Director Pei."

Pei Du's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. He held Sheng Shixian's hand and said politely, "Hello, Commander Sheng."

Sheng Shixian took the opportunity to hook his palm.

Pei Du glanced at him indifferently, and Sheng Shixian withdrew his hand, and walked to the center of the venue with Pei Du under the gaze of everyone.

"The topic of this meeting is ..."

*

It stayed in this world for nearly five years, and finally felt the energy fluctuations one day.

Lu Xun is dead.

He was ambushed on his way to the mission and was tortured by the enemy for nearly nine hours before being hanged on a beam.

If he managed to land in front of his body, Lu Xun's eyes would still be open when he died, and his body was covered with knife and gun wounds, with almost no healthy flesh left.

Just stay in front of him quietly.

After a while, a small piece of broken soul fragment flew out of Lu Xun's body, wrapped him in blue light, and the soul fragment merged with him in just a few seconds.

"One more piece..."

It spun around, then quickly flew up to the sky, leaving this world behind.

All around was silent; the wind blew past the window, making a whimpering sound.

Lin Xuqiu stood with his back against the stone wall. He looked up at the sky with a slight smile on his face.

"Commander, see you in the next world."

The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed at his temple. Lin Xuqiu closed his eyes slightly and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"
