Chapter 22 Chapter 22 He almost carved out a Kongtong Mountain with his bare hands...
"Not really." Xu Zhaoyi's mouth twitched slightly.
They dared to report this to heaven and earth for committing fraud, so it seemed more reasonable for them to be condemned and warned, although they never expected that heaven and earth would respond to this tiny incident.
But the problem is that the facts are completely contrary to Noodles' reasonable assumptions. Their engagement was blessed. It can't be that he and Qin Sheng really have a destiny engraved on the Three Lives Stone, right?
Just by imagining this, Xu Zhaoyi got goosebumps all over his body uncontrollably, and he could hardly look directly at Qin Sheng and his AI fat boy.
"It's not what you think." Xu Zhaoyi said dryly.
"That's right. My father was quite calm at that time. I scared myself." Noodles was relieved when he denied it. It was good that it was not true. It could not contact the main brain now. If the consciousness of this world misunderstood and made things difficult for them, there would be no way to solve it through the back door.
"So what exactly happened then?"
Xu Zhaoyi wanted to say something but stopped himself, the words stuck on his lips. He didn't want to hide it from Noodles, but he didn't know what tone to use to describe this matter so that he could sound like an innocent straight man, rather than an extraordinary and careless show-off after his engagement was blessed.
After all, this is indeed a rare thing for ordinary Taoist couples. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a match made in heaven that only comes once in a hundred years. Any complaints can easily be interpreted as insincere sarcasm.
After holding it in for a long while, he unconsciously tightened his legs while sitting cross-legged, and finally said in a frustrated tone, "Go ask your father."
Noodles: “…” It really looks like a little ball being kicked around by irresponsible parents.
The noodles, which were more resentful than ghosts, opened its father's eyes. A small fly crawled out from the screen of the mobile phone, and Qin Sheng almost threw it and the phone into the boiling soup in front of him.
"That was close, you were almost cooked."
"That was a close call. The soup was almost ruined."
“………” Qin Sheng was really impressed by this greedy boy. No wonder he looked fat and round no matter which vest he switched to.
The noodles smelled the charming aroma of the bubbling soup in the pot, and the resentment of being hanged by curiosity was instantly purified. It stopped at Qin Sheng's phone and rubbed its legs with its legs. "What happened today that I don't know? Little Daddy refused to tell me, so let me ask you."
"Can you change your disguise first? When I saw you rubbing your legs and drooling, I felt that these dishes were almost uneaten." Qin Sheng tried hard to resist the urge to flick it away.
"I'm clean!" Noodles snorted, then turned back into a cub and sat on the sink with his legs crossed. "Can you tell me now?"
"Well, it's not a big deal..." Qin Sheng lowered his eyes and gently stirred the pot with a spoon, and spoke lightly about the unexpected blessing of the marriage contract by this world.
To Qin Sheng's surprise, Noodles didn't show any surprise after hearing this. Instead, he blinked twice and said seriously, "The Consciousness of Heaven and Earth won't do anything unnecessary."
Qin Sheng paused: "What do you mean?"
"I wouldn't be surprised if He had sent down punishment as a warning, but He did the opposite. Could He be being sarcastic? Impossible. I guess He must have noticed that this small world had lost connection with the main world, so He intervened to control the direction of the world line."
"Can you get in touch with Him?" Qin Sheng asked after pondering for a moment.
Noodles shook his head. "No, I'm controlled by the Mastermind of the Main World. He belongs to the Lord of the Main World. He and I are products of two different dimensions. He is invisible and formless to me. No one except the Lord can communicate with Him."
Qin Sheng understood. He hadn't had any expectations in the first place, but he just asked to be on the safe side. If they could communicate, Noodles would have gone for help long before the incident.
"So blessing is His way of guiding the development of this world, and it can also be understood as a hint to us?"
Qin Sheng said firmly, "He is not randomly matching us up, but making it clear to me that He approves of and hopes that Xu Zhaoyi and I can form an unbreakable alliance."
Now think about the words on the wedding invitation, every sentence is a hint that hopes for their close cooperation.
"I think so." Noodles shrugged. "His intentions may be deeper than we understand, but we don't need to pay too much attention to them. As long as we don't reject His guidance and do what we think we should do, that's all."
"Then never mind." Qin Sheng didn't care too much. The only thing that was a bit troublesome was Xu Zhaoyi's attitude. He thought that this guy was almost able to dig out a Kongtong Mountain with his bare hands.
However, he couldn't explain to Xu Zhaoyi for the time being, because once he explained, everything would be revealed.
Their relationship was getting better under his subtle influence, but Qin Sheng knew very well that this kind of relationship could not withstand the test of a crisis of trust.
If he were Xu Zhaoyi, he would definitely suspect that the other party was making up a half-truth to use him, for example... anyone with a brain would definitely question this: Was his system really "accidentally" swallowed by the noodles?
There is only one system rule with a specific organization in a small world. Ha, if you say so, then it is? Besides, how can you prove that you are the so-called system with a specific organization?
With the main world out of contact and Xu Zhaoyi's system dormant, they are unable to prove these questions themselves.
Tsk, it’s better not to seek death.
As for Xu Zhaoyi's feelings of being deceived, he didn't say that he was completely indifferent, but he would not take the risk and cause trouble for himself.
In any case, he would not take the initiative to harm Xu Zhaoyi. He would even be willing to be nice to Xu Zhaoyi to the best of his ability and gain his favor. In this way, after the cooperation ends and everything is confessed, the two will cancel each other out and at least they will not become enemies.
He has a villain character, so he certainly wouldn't want to fall out with the male protagonist unless it is necessary.
Noodles had no idea what was going on in its host's mind regarding this seemingly casual remark. But after hearing Qin Sheng say that he didn't care, it really stopped thinking about it and diligently helped to serve the soup out of the pot.
Xu Zhaoyi said he was not hungry, but Qin Sheng still asked Noodles to send him a meal, reminding him that he would not be able to eat once his spiritual roots entered the awakening stage - this time he was not forcibly awakening at a critical moment, and with sufficient spiritual energy, the awakening time of the spiritual roots would be slower, and it was unknown how long it would take.
In fact, even if this was not mentioned, Xu Zhaoyi would have eaten it obediently. He had sworn not to eat it before, but he was not ashamed to say that because the delicious food was not in front of him.
Xu Zhaoyi didn't feel embarrassed. Even if he did have extraordinary self-control, he wouldn't be stupid enough to show it by wasting food cooked for him by others.
Soon he entered the official awakening period, and Noodles had to stay in his bedroom to replenish his spiritual energy at any time because the spiritual energy in the room was consumed too quickly.
It dares to say that in the Dharma-Ending Age, with this bottomless pit-like consumption, if Xu Zhaoyi changes her husband, their whole family will have to go out and beg for food with broken bowls in the blink of an eye.
Three days passed in a flash.
While waiting for Xu Zhaoyi to wake up, Qin Sheng had someone secretly capture Xu Wenbai, the fifth son of the Xu family, and locked him up in the basement. He did not touch the other members of the Xu family for the time being.
The Xu family was in turmoil for a while because of Xu Wenbo's disappearance, but perhaps out of luck, they thought that if they handed over Xu Wenbo, the culprit who directly bribed the Gu Master to silence them, they, the "uninformed" ones, would be let off, so they did not make it public.
Even Xu Wenbo's wife and son did not make a fuss, they just pretended that Xu Wenbo had gone on a long trip.
That day, when Qin Sheng was feeding the little water monsters in the swimming pool, whose scales had become glossier and fatter due to the spiritual energy, he suddenly heard the sound of Noodles happily.
[Ding! After Xu Zhaoyi awakened his dual spiritual roots of gold and fire, he smoothly refining Qi into his body. Dear host, the strength you can now access stored in the system space is at the first level of Qi Refining!]
Qin Sheng: [So fast?]
To be honest, this was an unexpected surprise. Xu Zhaoyi hadn't even started practicing martial arts yet, but when you think about it, the other party's body and talent are the same as the male protagonist's, this situation should be considered basic operation, and you'll just get used to it.
After Xu Zhaoyi officially entered the Qi Refining stage, the system also released the next task: to assist Xu Zhaoyi in getting back his parents' "relics" and to reward him with a set of top-level Qi Refining techniques that are most suitable for the dual spiritual roots of gold and fire mutations.
The original novel also has a plot about Xu Zhaoyi taking back his parents' inheritance, but there is not much description of the relics. The system issued it as a task in such a serious manner. Perhaps it is because Xu Zhaoyi, as the male protagonist, had the idea of re-investigating the cause of his parents' death, and there may be relevant clues in the relics.
Qin Sheng expressed satisfaction with the male protagonist's favorable situation. It was great, as it also allowed the villain to take advantage of the situation. Xu Wenbo in the basement came in handy.
[Tell him to come out of seclusion and not rush into cultivation. Of course, the most appropriate basic techniques should be used; the Xu family's won't do.]
[Okay, host!]
The words were rough but the truth was there. It didn't take long before Xu Zhaoyi followed the advice and went downstairs.
Although they lived under the same roof, they hadn't seen each other for several days. When their eyes met suddenly, they both felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but they both quickly covered it up.
"Ahem, it's getting late, let's eat first." Qin Sheng retracted his gaze and walked towards the kitchen: "Noodles, come and help."
"Okay...eh?" Noodles was about to respond when he was interrupted.
Xu Zhaoyi rubbed its head and said, "Let me do it. Noodles has been guarding me for several days. Thank you for your hard work."
Noodles wanted to say that it actually doesn't get tired, but after a roll of his eyes, he swallowed his words back. He immediately stood up like a fat willow, supported his thick waist, and climbed onto the sofa and didn't get up.
"Okay!" It agreed, and at the same time, it winked at Qin Sheng in what it thought was a covert move.
"?" Qin Sheng failed to interpret it. He didn't understand why it had to imitate human eye contact when it could clearly communicate within the brain. Did he understand?
On the contrary, Xu Zhaoyi, who had seen their entire argument, somehow understood it before Qin Sheng. He looked embarrassed for a moment, then turned around and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
Qin Sheng didn't understand at first, but after seeing his reaction he finally understood. He tried to hold back a chuckle. Xu Zhaoyi paused when he heard it, and after a moment of annoyance he walked faster.
