Chapter 056: Really Hard to Please
The shrill screams were still echoing in his mind, and Shen Yichuan sneered without any hesitation.
Then, he pinched the small black ball and threw the other person away.
"This high-level bloodline is really different. It's so pretentious after just a little bit of experience." Shen Yichuan sat there for a few seconds, then thought of the twins' contracted pets.
The reptile and the chick looked quite similar to the black ball of fluff. Having such a mysterious beast with advanced bloodline by his side, and one that was still in the growth stage, other people would probably want to train it. Unfortunately, he didn't have the patience and only wanted to eat it.
Shen Yichuan took a bath for quite a long time.
That night, the two of them lay in the same bed, experiencing a real-life interpretation of what it means to sleep in the same bed but have different dreams.
Because no one trusted each other, no one dared to sleep too deeply. Thinking that he would have to stay here for a long time, Shen Yichuan decided to start practicing from tomorrow night.
When he woke up in the morning, Shen Yichuan asked Qi Xiuyuan, "Do you want to have breakfast in your room or go downstairs?"
"Let's go downstairs." Qi Xiuyuan said lightly.
This answer surprised Shen Yichuan a little. He didn't seem like the type to join in the fun. So, why did he go downstairs for breakfast?
This doubt flashed through his mind, but Shen Yichuan had a decent smile on his face.
"Then let's go."
It was already quite lively downstairs. After Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan sat down, Shen Yichuan heard a lot of conversations.
"I was so amused last night, but I never thought those young masters were so capable of such trouble."
"That's right! One moment the Zhang family smashed down the Zhou family's door, and the next moment the Zhou family brought people to smash down the Zhang family's door. I thought the two families were going to go to war, but I didn't expect the content displayed on the photo stone to be... Haha, those young masters really know how to have fun."
"It was so crowded, and even his pride was put on the line, everyone was kneeling. Was that guy from the Zhou family called Fatty Zhou or something? He really had the guts to make so many people kneel before him like grandsons, haha."
"This will probably keep us laughing for the whole year."
The voices of those people were not hidden at all, nor did they intend to lower their voices, so Shen Yichuan heard it clearly.
It seemed like last night was really lively. Qian Feng and the others must have knelt before Fatty Zhou in that shop, after all, they had the contract. However, they knelt unwillingly, and they must have complained after returning home. That's why your family brought people to beat us up, and we brought people to beat us back.
Tsk tsk, just like what they said in the conversation, these young masters are really capable of making trouble.
At this time, Shen Yichuan had never thought that he was actually more capable than others in the Imperial Capital! Now he is notorious in the Imperial Capital!
"Take a look at the menu, what would you like to eat?"
After sitting down, Shen Yichuan handed the menu on the table to Qi Xiuyuan.
Qi Xiuyuan ordered two things at random.
After Shen Yichuan checked two items, he handed the menu to the waiter and asked him to serve the dishes.
"There seemed to be a young man yesterday, an outsider named Shen. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and was quite arrogant at first, getting involved with Fatty Zhou. However, he was also a smart man and did not join the group of young masters in the punishment of kneeling. He left early."
"I also know this young master surnamed Shen. He is indeed an outsider and looks very unfamiliar. I heard that several families are looking for him now. It should be that those young masters who knelt down don't want to let him go. If it weren't for him, it is said that because of the bet, those young masters would not lose."
"Haha, it looks like that foreign young man surnamed Shen is going to be in trouble."
What does it mean when someone suddenly appears from the sky while you are sitting at home?
The corner of Shen Yichuan's mouth twitched slightly. He had left early yesterday, so why did the trouble still fall on him? Was it because he was easier to bully?
Qi Xiuyuan's gaze suddenly turned over.
"Young Master Shen from outside? They're not talking about you, are they?"
The corner of Shen Yichuan's mouth twitched again, and he admired Qi Xiuyuan's sharpness. He had only casually mentioned it, without naming anyone, yet he had immediately linked it to him.
But there was nothing to hide, and it was impossible to hide it, so he nodded openly and smiled slightly.
"It was indeed me. Yesterday, by chance, I met a group of young masters. They seemed to enjoy betting and insisted on dragging me along, so I joined in. The little black ball of fluff I showed you yesterday, I now call it Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was won from yesterday's bet."
Then Shen Yichuan briefly talked about the bet yesterday.
Qi Xiuyuan looked Shen Yichuan up and down with a smile, and the look made Shen Yichuan feel creepy.
Then he heard Qi Xiuyuan slowly say, "The Imperial Capital is indeed a little smaller, not enough for you to display your talents."
Shen Yichuan: “…”
Don't make it sound like he's just a troublemaker, okay? Back in the capital, he was always there for the twins, even as their stepfather! He was also very clear-eyed when the Qi family blamed him, and now he's saying he wasn't good enough?
Shen Yichuan cursed in his heart, but he still smiled calmly on his face, even with a hint of tenderness. To outsiders, this was completely a scene of a husband doting on his wife Shuang'er.
"Breakfast is here, eat more."
I'd better use food to shut your mouth. If you don't speak, I will definitely not treat you as a mute.
Qi Xiuyuan began to eat elegantly after breakfast was placed on the table. Shen Yichuan also started to eat. He did not notice that when he picked up his chopsticks, Qi Xiuyuan glanced in his direction with a slightly cold look in his eyes.
According to this person, he is not the real Shen Yichuang, but he just happened to be transported into this body, and he himself doesn't know why he came here.
But now it seems that even when the other party is eating, those little movements are exactly the same as the original Shen Yichuan!
Coincidence? An instinctive bodily action?
Qi Xiuyuan didn't believe it.
Shen Yichuan didn't know he was under suspicion yet, and he ate happily. After breakfast, Shen Yichuan naturally went to the street to check out the surrounding terrain. He thought Qi Xiuyuan would go upstairs as well, but he didn't expect that he would actually ask to go out with him.
What could Shen Yichuan not understand? It seemed that the other party's original intention was to go out on the street. He was probably following him to hide his tracks!
So, what does this guy want to do?
The streets were already very busy. Shen Yichuan didn't know where Qi Xiuyuan was going to look, and the other party didn't seem to want to say anything, so he could only walk forward casually.
After walking for a while, Qi Xiuyuan suddenly spoke.
"Which stores did you go to yesterday?"
Shen Yichuan was stunned for a moment, then pointed to a few shops not far ahead.
"I've been to all of those. The first one is the one in Xiaoheizhai. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Shen Yichuan thought that if he were there today, he would probably attract more attention there.
Not knowing whether Qi Xiuyuan had also thought of this, he shook his head.
"No, just asking."
Shen Yichuan didn't want to go over there either. Since Qi Xiuyuan asked casually, he naturally wouldn't lead anyone there.
"What's wrong with you, little girl? I've already told you that I don't need your Wind and Thunder Stone. I'm not a weapon refining master, so why would I need it? If you want to sell it, go find someone else and stop bothering me!"
The somewhat angry middle-aged man shook the hand of a little girl of about twelve or thirteen who was holding on to him. He used a lot of force and almost threw the little girl to the ground.
The little girl didn't mind being thrown to the ground. She quickly stood up and said, "My wind and thunder stone is of very good quality. You can buy it. Even if you are not a master of refining, you will definitely need to find a master of refining. When the time comes, you just need to give this wind and thunder stone to the master of refining, and he will thank you." The little girl's voice sounded crisp, and anyone with a little sympathy would feel sympathy for her.
The middle-aged man was obviously not a cruel person. Although he felt very annoyed, he saw that many people were looking at him. He took out the gold coins and said, "Alright, alright, give me your stone and leave now."
The little girl got the gold coins and immediately smiled. "Uncle, believe me, you will not suffer any loss. My Wind and Thunder Stone is a good thing."
After saying this, the little girl quickly ran away. The middle-aged man sighed, put away the Wind and Thunder Stone in his hand, and hurried away as well, feeling a bit unlucky. Anyone who was harassed like this early in the morning and forced to buy something would feel unlucky and would not be very happy.
Shen Yichuan just glanced at this scene and naturally wasn't very interested. However, when he found that Qi Xiuyuan was actually staring at the running little girl, Shen Yichuan's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
Could this be another Yu Qi?
Then Shen Yichuan quickly searched his memory and the plot of the book he was reading, but there was no introduction to the little girl. But he didn't breathe a sigh of relief. Qi Xiuyuan was the protagonist, so there was no way he would look at a beggar-like little girl for no reason.
So after blinking, Shen Yichuan smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything special about that little girl?"
"That's not a little girl, just a man dressed as a woman." Qi Xiuyuan glanced at Shen Yichuan.
Shen Yichuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. It wasn't a little girl, but a man dressed as a woman, so it was a teenager?
Shen Yichuan said that he really didn't see it at all. After thinking about it, he asked again: "If it's a man dressed as a woman, is it a man or Shuang'er?"
Qi Xiuyuan looked over with a half-smile, "Do you want her to be a man or a Shuang'er?"
Shen Yichuan was stunned again, thinking this statement was strange. What did he mean by "hope"? What hope could he have? What did this have to do with him?
Perhaps because Shen Yichuan's inexplicable expression was too obvious, Qi Xiuyuan withdrew his gaze indifferently and said, "That's a Shuang'er."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Shen Yichuan's response and walked straight ahead.
Shen Yichuan was confused. He just asked casually. After all, there are three genders in this world. If it is not a little girl, even men have two genders. So he asked, why did he seem to have offended this evil spirit?
He could only say that no matter what kind of world it was, the protagonist was always difficult to serve, especially the protagonist who was reborn, or the protagonist who was reborn after becoming a god, who was even more difficult to serve!
