Chapter 4 Chapter 4 We are a good match
Most straight men, from childhood to adulthood, will subconsciously find it difficult to accept the idea of a same-sex person suddenly asking for marriage, even if it is fake.
Qin Sheng returned to the room and comforted Xu Zhaoyi, who was confused by the pressure of same-sex marriage, saying, "This is my private estate. There are only three of us. The Qin family members are guarding the perimeter. You don't need to be so nervous."
“…Aren’t you afraid that I will attack you as soon as I hear this?” Xu Zhaoyi’s mouth twitched slightly. He didn’t know where Qin Sheng got his confidence from. Although his spiritual roots had not awakened, it was more than enough to beat up a sickly person, okay?
Qin Sheng smiled nonchalantly and said, "Although metaphysics does exist, sometimes you can also have some faith in science. I'm just unable to practice, not without the ability to protect myself."
As he said this, he stuffed the living Q-version human baby noodles in his hand back into the other person's arms.
"You mean... this little thing is science?" Xu Zhaoyi grabbed one of the noodles' toes and lifted it upside down, asking in disbelief.
He thought this was a puppet doll made by the Qin family for Qin Sheng. Ordinary puppet dolls would unconditionally protect their masters and could understand simple commands. Although the one in his hand was so smart and lively that it looked a little too human, and he had never seen its appearance and touch before, the Qin family had a deep foundation, so it was not impossible for them to have such means.
Qin Sheng stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Noodles: "Come, show your other future father the power of technology."
The noodles that were being held upside down: ...#%&*≯It has a lot of galactic curse words it wants to say!
Is there any power left?
Although he cursed in his heart, his body still honestly turned himself into a string of data and disappeared in Xu Zhaoyi's hands.
Qin Sheng explained, "It's called Noodles. It's a high-tech product. You can think of it as an artificially intelligent life form. The Qin family is unaware of its existence."
Xu Zhaoyi's eyes flickered when he heard the last sentence, and he understood Qin Sheng's unspoken meaning: "What is your relationship with your family...?"
He needed to confirm whether Qin Sheng was guarding against the entire Qin family, including his parents, or whether he was simply unable to practice and had conflicts with certain forces within the Qin family.
If it's the latter, it's fine. But if it's the former, it would be like an ant trying to shake a tree. If that's the case, he'll have to think again about how much effort he should put into this forced cooperation.
As he was thinking this, Qin Sheng gave him a positive answer.
"My relationship with the Qin family." He thought for a moment and said, "To be precise, before I turn thirty, they have to take good care of me and beg me not to die. As for after thirty, uh, if the Qin family isn't completely destroyed, I won't live past thirty..."
Qin Sheng said this while watching Xu Zhaoyi's increasingly complicated expression and finally chuckled. Thanks to the original work's very dazzling and glorious character, he did not hide his true situation in the Qin family.
In the original work, after Xu Zhaoyi's spiritual roots awakened in his first life, he had many romantic encounters. His love life was so prosperous that whenever he passed by a tofu shop while going downstairs to buy soy sauce, a tofu beauty with a hidden extraordinary background would flirt with him.
But Xu Zhaoyi did not waver. He was determined to find out the cause of Jin Nianyue's death, and he was focused on it regardless of the cost. And the key point is that this was not Xu Zhaoyi's love-brainedness.
Because in the second life of the original work, Xu Zhaoyi, who had a cheat system, prevented Jin Nianyue from marrying into the Qin family, but the two finally broke off the marriage engagement arranged by their families and did not get together.
The explanation given in the original work is that Xu Zhaoyi's persistence is only because he and Jin Nianyue grew up together, but... feelings cannot be forced, and neither he nor Jin Nianyue have any feelings for each other.
Perhaps it is because those who have not obtained it will always be in turmoil. Therefore, Jin Nianyue became the only woman in the whole work who has top-notch beauty but has no feelings for Xu Zhaoyi, the male protagonist Long Aotian. Therefore, she has become the white moonlight that readers can't forget.
In short, Xu Zhaoyi is a person who values love and righteousness, and even has a compassionate character. He is not a saint, but it can be said that he has the character that a practitioner should have. He has realized that the universe is vast and he still feels pity for the green grass and trees.
Therefore, when dealing with him, it is necessary to show some weakness after being tough. Qin Sheng did not have any psychological burden and told him his situation in detail.
"Since I was born, I have passively borne the karma of the entire Qin family. This is also the reason why I have been weak and sickly since childhood. The Qin family used a forbidden formation to sacrifice my soul. I lived for thirty years, bearing the karma of the Qin family. After death, my soul returned to the forbidden formation and was roasted by the karmic fire for thirty years. After the period expired, I was reborn into the Qin family again, and the cycle repeats..."
"It's no secret that the Qin family has a sickly child every few decades. It's just that outsiders think it's a genetic disease passed down from generation to generation and don't pay much attention to it. If you do some research, you'll know what I say is true."
"Due to some coincidence, I got the noodles. With the help of the noodles, I learned all this. So it's not that I overestimate my own abilities. No matter what, the Qin family can only be my enemy."
Having said that, Qin Sheng paused before continuing.
"Including... my parents in this body, they also know about it."
After saying this, the whole bedroom was quiet for a while, and Qin Sheng waited quietly for Xu Zhaoyi to digest this information.
Only the breathing sounds of the two people could be heard in the room. The atmosphere, which was originally subtly hostile, became a little awkward when one of them suddenly made a big move to gain sympathy.
Xu Zhaoyi remained silent. After Qin Sheng explained the whole story, he remained silent for a long time. Finally, he sighed and asked softly, "What do you need me to do for you?"
It’s so easy to coax, Noodles secretly exclaimed in amazement.
After the host slapped the man and gave him a date, the man recovered. The date was not even sweet, but a sour one!
You know, in Xu Zhaoyi's memory, he was killed by Qin Sheng not long ago.
Although after the host explained this, Xu Zhaoyi would most likely start to suspect that there was something else going on in his previous life, but it was revenge after all!
Its conscience would be in pain if it really had this thing.
Qin Sheng let out a long, unnoticeable sigh, then earnestly stated his purpose: "Only by destroying the forbidden formation can my soul be freed. Otherwise, even if I die prematurely, it will only interrupt the transfer of karma, causing backlash to this generation of the Qin family."
In fact, the Qin family had considered imprisoning him until he was thirty years old, but perhaps it was the "flaw" of this forbidden formation. According to the information overheard by Noodles, a generation of ancestors had tried this, and the result was that no matter how much life-extending elixir was spent, once the sacrifice became depressed and determined to die, his life would begin to decline irreversibly.
That generation of the Qin family died of depression because of the sacrifice, and suffered severe backlash, causing the entire family to fall into the bottom of the society. It took decades for them to recover, so...
"The Qin family wouldn't dare turn against me unless they had no other choice. This is also one of the bargaining chips I can use."
"I understand." Xu Zhaoyi nodded.
He did not refute, nor did he say that relying on the two of them to defeat the Qin family was like hitting a rock with an egg, and that the possibility of success was almost zero.
Qin Sheng's heart moved slightly, and he rarely felt a little guilty. Just as he was about to tell the other party that he would not let him help in vain, he was interrupted by a sudden ring of his cell phone.
He took out his cell phone and saw that the caller ID read: Mom.
Xu Zhaoyi, who had good eyesight, saw it before he could look away. Thinking of what Qin Sheng had just said, that his parents also knew about it, he felt a little pity in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
Qin Sheng snorted, pressed the answer button, and turned on the speakerphone without avoiding Xu Zhaoyi.
"Mom, is there something wrong?"
Xu Zhaoyi watched helplessly as Qin Sheng in front of him developed a 'sudden illness' and evolved into a complete sickly person, becoming 'weak' with every word and cough.
The woman on the other end of the phone seemed completely accustomed to this noise. She didn't show any extra concern and just focused on her business. "The Jin family is asking again. What do you think about that girl named Jin Nianyue? If you are satisfied, then we can decide and choose a date for the engagement ceremony. What do you think?"
"Mom, don't agree to this for now. I'll talk to you in person when I get home tomorrow."
"Not happy again? You! You always think so and act accordingly!" The woman complained, but soon compromised and said gently, "Alright, young master, it's all up to you!"
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhaoyi hesitated to speak. Qin Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry."
They are just a pair of parents in name only. The original owner who might have been sad about this has long been liberated. His soul has been sent out of this small world to start a new life. He is probably almost one year old now.
As for his soul, in fact, even the Noodles system is not very sure whether his soul will be recovered by the Qin family's forbidden formation if he dies.
However, one thing is certain, even though he obtained a lot of rare treasures while completing missions in the past year, it only made his body slightly better, and he was still slowly getting weaker.
It is estimated that this body was marked at birth, and the karma of the Qin family is still constantly weighing on him, eroding his vitality. If he wants to break the deadlock, he must remove the firewood from under the cauldron.
"By the way, come with me tomorrow to finalize our marriage."
Xu Zhaoyi's thoughts were stuck for a moment, and after a while he said, "You want to marry a man, will they object?"
Even if Qin Sheng's situation is special, wouldn't the Qin family feel ashamed if they didn't mention things like continuing the family line?
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Believe me, compared to Jin Nianyue, who has average talent but can still practice, your current state of useless spiritual roots in the eyes of outsiders is more in line with their expectations."
If they weren't afraid that he would go crazy and flip the table, the Qin family would have been eager to marry him to someone outside the circle. Now that he has chosen Xu Zhaoyi, the Qin family might initially oppose it out of a feudal reflex, but when they come to their senses and figure out the interests involved, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams at night.
Face is something that is not worth mentioning when it comes to securing huge interests.
"So don't worry, we are a good match."
