Chapter 61 Chapter 61 No one knows how to coax his wife better than Qin Sheng...
Xu Zhaoyi poked the handsome face of his 'goddess wife', and then saw the other party's eyelids tremble slightly, paused, and then the action became more unscrupulous.
"Liar!" he cursed softly.
“………”
Qin Sheng was woken up just as he was falling asleep, and asked him when he had ever been treated like this by Xu Zhaoyi? Once the car was turned over, most of his wife's "love" disappeared.
Even the initial politeness is gone!
No, I have to find a way to make Xu Zhaoyi realize that he is indeed a real sickly person and stop tormenting him.
But he was afraid that his wife would think he was pretending to be sick. Although he did intend to pretend to be sick, Master Qingtang, it was true that he was in poor health!
He hadn't been wronged yet, but just imagining it made him feel wronged to death. He wished there would be snow in June and three years of drought. He finally understood the original body's mental state of being so frustrated that he wanted to kill everyone indiscriminately.
Things were getting out of control, and Qin Sheng was extremely annoyed. For a moment, he threw all the moral principles to the wind. He stretched out his arms and pulled hard, hugging the rebellious Xu Zhaoyi into his arms as if he were a pillow, trapping him tightly.
Xu Zhaoyi was completely unable to break free from his restraints, while Qin Sheng pretended not to notice how much effort he was putting in. He buried his head in the crook of Xu Zhaoyi's neck and groaned in a daze, "Stop it. I can't sleep well tonight and I'm prone to headaches the next day."
“…If I believe you again, I’d be a fool!” Xu Zhaoyi’s heart tightened when he heard that. He muttered something, but still reluctantly stopped struggling. In this posture, he scanned Qin Sheng’s health condition again.
The results were the same as the previous times, which indeed showed that Qin Sheng was in poor health, but how could a person with poor health cultivate to the level of foundation building?
He couldn't help but doubt in his heart, but his body honestly stopped moving, allowing Qin Sheng to hold him, and his breathing gradually became steady.
Noodles sighed softly in Qin Sheng's mind: "If you weren't just friends...oh, now I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to even call you friends. I really want to sigh that my little dad is really good at digging wild vegetables."
Isn't that a bit too kind? He didn't even give his host a beating? Even if he couldn't beat him, at least he should show some appreciation! He just gave in like that after the host said something about a headache and sleep problems, which was hard to tell.
Qin Sheng was silent for a few seconds before honestly admitting: [He is a genuinely good person, and I was the one bullying him.]
[So?] Noodles stared at him, showing no intention of letting him go.
[What, so what?] Qin Sheng even tightened his arms and hugged her even tighter. As a villain, wasn't it only natural for him to bully the good guy?
[………] Noodles replied him with an emoticon of a cat with its brain loading, and had nothing to say.
Xu Zhaoyi slept too much during the day, and his head was buzzing with too many things on his mind, so he stayed in Qin Sheng's arms with his eyes open for half the night. Finally, Qin Sheng fell asleep and unconsciously let go of him, which made him even more unable to sleep.
The next day, Qin Sheng woke up refreshed and saw Xu Zhaoyi staring at him with lifeless eyes. He didn't know how long he had been staring at him, probably the whole night.
"Why do you look so bad?" Qin Sheng felt really guilty now, and asked hurriedly, "After the effect of the fox fruit is gone, are there any aftereffects? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Xu Zhaoyi just couldn't muster up the energy, and the culprit had the nerve to get so close to him and ask what was wrong.
Qin Sheng could almost see a rift between them widening. At this time, he absolutely could not let Xu Zhaoyi get more and more angry. The right solution was to find something to do with him.
"There's something I wanted to deal with after the Qin family's matter was resolved, but since we have nothing to do now..."
"What's the matter?" Xu Zhaoyi asked directly.
Qin Sheng paused and curled his lips. Okay, my patience with him is not as good as before.
He said the key point: "After what happened to the Xu family, all the property should belong to you, including the house. Everything else is easy to deal with. You can entrust a lawyer to handle some formalities, and then you just sign. The problem is that house. So many people died in it, and it once housed two zombies. Anyone who knows the business will know what's going on once they enter. It's completely uninhabitable and has to be sealed off."
It's not haunted, but it's become a petri dish of evil spirits, corpse spirits and resentment. A healthy person can live in it upright, and can be carried out and sent to the hospital lying down.
This matter is neither urgent nor non-urgent. The reason why Qin Sheng wanted to deal with it after dealing with the Qin family is because injecting a large amount of spiritual energy into it is the simplest solution, but this certainly cannot be concealed.
If we just drag it out, there will always be a chance of an accident. For example, if the people guarding outside are not paying attention, a wild animal may accidentally run in, be contaminated by the corpse aura, and then come out to bite people. Then, I'm afraid it will be a real-life version of Resident Evil.
Of course, the probability is actually very low. Animals are ignorant, but when it comes to seeking benefits and avoiding harm, their intuition is much more sensitive than humans. They would never want to get close to the Xu family's house, let alone sneak in. At this moment, the Xu family's house is probably so "clean" that even the cockroaches and ants have moved away.
Qin Sheng was just exaggerating to scare his wife.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xu Zhaoyi's original indifferent attitude towards the whereabouts of the Xu family's assets disappeared, and he immediately turned over and sat up in bed.
He understood that the probability of Qin Sheng's hypothesis happening was low, but was it something he could gamble on?!
It can only be said that their moral levels are not on the same level. Xu Zhaoyi felt that Qin Sheng's words were like the whispers of the devil, and Qin Sheng expected Xu Zhaoyi to react like this.
"I'll be right there."
Xu Zhaoyi was in such a hurry to get out of bed to change his clothes that he forgot to wash up first. Qin Sheng had to hold him back.
"There's no rush. I asked Feng Lili to send someone to guard the place. Even if the guards are negligent, there are still clones planted nearby to protect the situation. It's a double insurance. I'm not as vicious as you think and I don't care about anyone's life or death."
Xu Zhaoyi stammered a few times, trying to say that he didn't mean that, but Qin Sheng didn't really care whether he thought so or not, and didn't give him a chance to apologize.
He then said, "Tell me how you plan to solve it first. You can't just burn everything down at once."
"Why not?" Xu Zhaoyi thought it was possible: "That's the fastest solution."
"Don't be so rude." Qin Sheng asked him to calm down and said gently, "After all, that's where you grew up. There are memories of you and your parents there. Unless it's absolutely necessary, it can still be saved."
Xu Zhaoyi was silent for a while after hearing this. In fact, his negative emotions towards the house far outweighed his nostalgia. How many good memories could a child under the age of seven have that could cover up the psychological trauma of living under someone else's roof in his own home for all these years?
But Qin Sheng had obviously put a lot of thought into him, so he wouldn't be so ungrateful as to refuse to listen to a word.
"So what do you think we should do?"
Qin Sheng pulled him to sit side by side at the head of the bed. Seeing that he had calmed down, he smiled and said, "I originally planned to use a large amount of spiritual energy to fill the house. In just two or three days, it will be restored to a more habitable state than before."
Xu Zhaoyi immediately understood why Qin Sheng planned to deal with the Qin family first. This idea would cause too much noise to implement. No one cared about the Xu family's affairs, otherwise he would not know nothing about it. However, using so much spiritual energy to fill the hole actually attracted attention.
The Xu family's house is not Qin Sheng's endless manor. Even though the manor is so big, no sound can be transmitted. Qin Sheng only injected spiritual energy into Xu Zhaoyi and Husheng's rooms and surrounded them with formations. The Xu family's house is just a slightly larger villa with two courtyards in front and back. Even if it is surrounded by formations, it can still be used for open-air bathing.
And it's not just a matter of being cautious and not letting any traces be found. The simplest truth is: only the two of them have the motive.
The Qin family will definitely be alert.
It's just that he seemed depressed just now. Qin Sheng didn't know the reason and thought he was bored and uncomfortable, so he picked out this not-so-big-or-not thing to make him "cheer up".
Xu Zhaoyi felt a little reluctant to give him a cold look, although he himself didn't have the heart to give him a cold look, but he just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and couldn't muster up the energy.
"So what do you think now?"
"I don't have any idea, but since you're bored, I'll let Ling Huan go with you!"
"Why don't you go with me?"
Xu Zhaoyi didn't quite understand Qin Sheng's train of thought. Why did he mention Ling Huan for no reason? They were alone anyway, so why did he have to change his clothes to go out with him? What's wrong with that?
Qin Sheng sighed sincerely this time, "I'd like to go with you, but my health doesn't allow it. Normal people would get skinned alive if they went in. If I go in, you'll just have to find a place to bury me!"
I originally wanted to say that I would be a widow, but I didn’t dare to do it.
“………”Xu Zhaoyi’s first reaction was that he was lying to him again, but when he thought about scanning the other person’s health condition again yesterday, he became a little hesitant.
But why can I go if I change into Ling Huan's identity? This doesn't make sense and seems more like a lie.
Qin Sheng didn't let him wonder for too long, instead he sighed with a mixture of truth and falsehood, "Actually, Ling Huan's health isn't good either, but he's been able to use his cultivation to create a shield that protects him from all evil."
"How could I not see that he was in poor health?" Xu Zhaoyi scoffed as he listened to his increasingly outrageous remarks, "Can someone in poor health build a foundation? Your old man would cry if he knew!"
The old man, a prodigy of the family who used to be in excellent health, wasted most of his life and was buried up to his neck in the earth, only taking half a step towards building his foundation.
Qin Sheng blinked and asked him, "You and Ling Huan have fought each other before, but don't you find his cultivation level strange?"
"What's strange?" Xu Zhaoyi thought about the sparring that afternoon. Apart from the feeling that there was a huge gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Building, there was nothing else wrong.
"Do you still remember the Yin-Yang Ring he gave you?" Qin Sheng smiled and said, "You don't think it has no effect on him because he's strong enough, do you? That's the Qin family's treasure, an old item, passed down from the days when golden elixirs were everywhere. How could it be incapable of even dealing with a foundation-building cultivator?"
Xu Zhaoyi paused after hearing this: "I can't see through his cultivation level. I thought it was because our strength was too different."
Of course there are reasons for this.
Qin Sheng smiled at him but didn't say anything, but his expression was obvious. Xu Zhaoyi didn't know what was wrong, but his mind suddenly became angry. He couldn't help but grab the pillow behind him and slapped Qin Sheng's handsome face without saying a word.
It feels great.
Qin Sheng, who resisted his body's reflex and didn't dodge, was knocked unconscious by the physical attack. He scratched his hair and sighed deeply.
He really can't mess with his wife because her filter has failed. He has to reapply this filter today!
He exhaled lightly and continued firmly, "The Yin-Yang Ring is useless to him because his magic power does not belong to any of the Five Elements."
"Could it be a natural spiritual root?" Xu Zhaoyi asked in surprise. That is an endangered species in the world of cultivation.
Qin Sheng shook his head: "No, he doesn't have spiritual roots. To be more precise, his body is too weak and his spiritual roots haven't awakened. His magic power is not cultivated by relying on spiritual roots, but by using some scientific methods."
This wasn't really a lie. He had understood the Spring and Autumn style of writing. When he told Xu Zhaoyi everything in the future, he would probably just feel that he was being fooled, rather than being deceived without sincerity.
In fact, this explanation depends on whether Xu Zhaoyi is willing to believe it. Although yesterday's car rollover was an accident, after he calmed down and thought about it carefully for a night, he found that the right time, place and people required for this explanation were just in place.
First of all, his cheat was not built at the beginning, but grew gradually, and the speed of growth was completely proportional to the speed of Xu Zhaoyi's cultivation. If he used this excuse at the beginning, Xu Zhaoyi would definitely doubt him, and this suspicion would grow like a snowball.
It is different now. Xu Zhaoyi's cultivation has been firmly stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Any changes during this period will not be as obvious as when he went from zero to foundation building.
The second issue is timing. If he gave this explanation only after being exposed, his credibility would be halved. However, Xu Zhaoyi did not choose to break the window paper, and he did not know that he had discovered that he was pretending to sleep yesterday.
So in Xu Zhaoyi's opinion, he was just using this metaphor to express his difficulties without knowing that he had been exposed, and the transition to this topic he just mentioned was very natural and there was nothing suspicious about it.
In this way, the only thing between him and Xu Zhaoyi is an unconscious system. This is a bomb that cannot be touched, and Qin Sheng has no intention of moving it yet.
"Science?" Xu Zhaoyi thought to himself that the science Qin Sheng spoke of was probably different from the science he knew.
So if Qin Sheng did not lie to him, then it was true that Qin Sheng was in poor health, which was consistent with his scan results, and he was really weak.
"Uh, what happened just now...are you okay?" Xu Zhaoyi was a little at a loss for words. He quickly turned Qin Sheng's face to look, and sure enough, he saw that the other person's right cheek was a little red.
"Why do you suddenly feel guilty?" Qin Sheng took advantage of the situation and pretended not to know why Xu Zhaoyi changed his attitude. He hissed and said, "It's not that bad. How much can a pillow hit you hurt?"
"Shall I get you some medicine to rub on?"
Frankly speaking, this is a bit exaggerated. Xu Zhaoyi is just talking nonsense out of guilt.
Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I thought you were going to say blow it for me!"
Very good, now he is happy too.
Xu Zhaoyi let him go in a bad mood, saying that the matter of rubbing the medicine was gone, and changed the subject: "Since he is not in good health, don't bother him. I will go and see him myself!"
"It's okay. He can display his Foundation Establishment strength. This little thing is nothing to him. Didn't he say yesterday that he just needed a sparring partner? Regardless of whether the problem is solved or not, just treat it as an outing with friends to relax."
"Why weren't you so generous a few days ago?" Xu Zhaoyi always felt that Qin Sheng was weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Qin Sheng himself admitted that he was possessive of his family. Xu Zhaoyi also knew that the family Qin Sheng mentioned could not be the group of leeches in the Qin family who were only related by blood. Apart from noodles and perhaps a lifeguard, he was the only one.
Qin Sheng shrugged calmly and answered the question irrelevantly: "Some flowers will gradually wilt if they are kept in a room with insufficient light, no matter how carefully they are cared for. I know it needs some sunlight."
Xu Zhaoyi felt a pang of pain in his heart after hearing what he said.
Realizing the deeper meaning behind his words, I felt a little uncomfortable.
——Qin Sheng believed that someone like Ling Huan was the 'sunshine' that the flowers he carefully nurtured needed. Even though Ling Huan was also a disguise, he obviously did not think that Ling Huan could represent his true self.
"Do you want to go?" Qin Sheng glanced at his reaction and it seemed that he had been coaxed enough.
Xu Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and nodded with a heavy heart. Of course he still had to go. The issue of the Xu family's house was there, and he couldn't feel completely at ease until the problem was resolved.
Qin Sheng wanted to accompany him under Ling Huan's identity, so just let him do it. After all, he was not an impulsive person and would not really do anything without caring about his health.
Finally, Xu Zhaoyi went out alone. When he drove to Xu's house, he saw Ling Huan already waiting there.
The other person was still wearing the same leather jacket and ripped jeans as a street urchin, leaning against the gate of the Xu family with his arms folded.
When he didn't know it was Qin Sheng, his first reaction when he saw Ling Huan was to respect everyone's aesthetic taste. But now, he couldn't help but imagine Qin Sheng dressed like this without the mask...
Xu Zhaoyi argued with himself in his heart that it was human nature for him to fall in love with Qin Sheng, a liar.
Just as he was thinking, he heard two knocks beside his ears. It was Ling Huan knocking on his car window. He rolled it down and heard the other person ask with a smile: "What are you thinking about sitting in the car and not getting out?"
Xu Zhaoyi stared at his flamboyant graffiti mask, then lowered his head and chuckled, "Nothing, I just suddenly realized that your outfit... is quite hot."
Qin Sheng: “…”
