Chapter 33
Are there really gods in this world?
This was Fu Qing's first reaction.
At this moment, the guy who claimed to be a god was nudging Fu Qing's neck, making chirping sounds, which made Fu Qing blush and had no time to think.
Fu Qing blocked the other's lips, but in return he received a wet and warm kiss on the palm of his hand. The female insect sighed helplessly: "Take a break, don't do this, I can't think..."
"Hmm? Why do you have to think about it?" Yu Xie's deep eyes were gentle and tempting: "Can't you just trust me?"
Fu Qing choked up, not knowing how to answer for a moment. The area around her eyes, where she had wiped away her tears, was rosy red, which made Yu Xi feel eager to do something.
So, for the first time in thousands of years, the Taotie God acted coquettishly. He nudged Fu Qing's neck with his head, and the stubble that appeared pricked Fu Qing's breath slightly. The male insect spoke nonsense with a righteous voice: "Look, you were reborn after death, and I traveled through time after death. We just met on our wedding night. How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Maybe it was the insect god you believe in. Seeing that you had a miserable life in your last life, he sent me to accompany you in this life... But I am your destined male master."
The male insect stopped talking nonsense and kissed the other several times guiltily.
The bug god must be a trick of Yue Lao.
Fu·Atheism·Qing: “…………”
Fu Qing, who had been determined and blind in his previous life, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yu Xie deliberately avoided the fact that this world is a book, so he did not count Fu Qing's past experiences to prove himself. He rubbed Fu Qing's pale lips with his fingertips, and his tone was solemn and gentle: "Fu Qing... your destiny is in your own hands, don't be too hateful, too chaotic, too obsessed... Don't be bound by the memories of the past, and don't be bound by the future that has not yet happened. You must remember that the people you care about in this life are still alive, and everything is still in time. Think about the changes that have happened, you will live a better life, I promise. I will always be with you, believe me, ok?"
Really?
Fu Qing stared into Yu Xie's dark eyes.
Maybe it was true, this life was indeed different, at least it was completely different from his dreams.
Ever since this strange male insect appeared before his eyes, he had indeed lived a happier and freer life than in his previous life, as if he had someone to rely on... He thought like an ostrich that the dream might be an illusion, and perhaps he could try to trust the other person.
Seeing the female insect's expression, Yu Xie took the opportunity to kiss her nose. He thought, Wife, I have been purifying your spiritual power these days, and I really have no spiritual energy left. Please wait for me for a few days. When I accumulate more merit and spiritual energy, I will show you some of my special magical powers, and I guarantee you will be satisfied.
Yes, there is also dual cultivation.
Fu Qing is now fully awake, and his spiritual state has improved a lot. After a few days of recovery, I can teach Fu Qing the method of dual cultivation. This way, he may be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"I'm going to find something to eat. Don't run. Wait for me to come back." Yu Xie pinched Fu Qing's earlobe. Moving hands and feet has become a habit of male insects, and being moved has also become a habit of female insects.
Seeing Yu Xie go out, Fu Qing covered his painful neck and slowly sat up. Only then did he have the leisure to feel his own spiritual sea, but he was shocked by the state of his own mental strength.
Unlike the chaotic and precarious spiritual sea before, Fu Qing now has at least half of his spiritual sea clear and transparent, protected by a rich and pure spiritual energy. Unfortunately, Fu Qing didn't know that this was the remaining spiritual energy, and only thought it was the result of the pheromone purification brought by the male insect after marking.
Fu Qing thought that the situation in the infirmary was critical at that time. Although he was a little dazed, he still remembered some of the words of the medical officer. The medical officer said that he and Yu Xie had a very high match, at least 80%. So... Fu Qing pursed his lips shyly. Is this the advantage brought by a high match?
At this time, Yuxi Shangshen, who had gone out to forage for food, was feeling his own spiritual energy. He thought that the road to cultivation was indeed long. He now had a job and a salary, but unfortunately his spiritual energy was still a little insufficient. It was barely enough to give Fu Qing a worm to purify his spiritual power, and now he had to add a worm emperor.
well……
Life is not easy, and God sighs.

Soon, the news that Yu Xie was awarded the title of Marquis spread throughout the aristocratic circle.
The old Duke Yu was a wise and strategic man, but now he was pecked in the eye by the handsome boy he brought back from the central city. This really made these nobles hate and laugh.
What makes people laugh is that Duke Yu is getting old and suffering from poverty, and his family is in turmoil. What makes people hate him is that no one knows what kind of talent Yu Xie has that makes His Majesty willing to allow the sons of noble families to apply for the title, resulting in the sons of various families secretly making moves.
"Now, those heroes of the old noble families are all planning to visit the major general's mansion... Hum... ahem, I didn't realize that he was so ambitious. He is a good seedling. It's my fault that I am short-sighted. Ahem, I am getting old..." Duke Yu is now over seventy years old. He sits leaning on the sofa with an appearance of being indifferent to the world, with only a gleam of light flashing in his eyes occasionally.
Good seedling?
Yu Rui held his breath as he listened, but did not show it on his face.
He has always known what kind of person his father is. Nothing is bigger than the family, and the interests of the family come first. If Yu Xie is more useful than himself, Duke Yu will definitely not mind changing the candidate for the next head of the family.
"Father Xiong, you know Yu Xie's situation best. He is just a female son who grew up in the central city and has never ridden a horse. How could he suddenly become a martial arts master?" Yu Rui narrowed his gloomy eyes. "In my opinion, this assassination may be directed and performed by your majesty himself, with the purpose of competing with the nobles as soon as possible... When the assassination took place at the banquet, the whole place was filled with thick fog. Who knows if it was Yu Xie who defeated the insect monster?"
Duke Yu nodded, as if he was convinced: "You have always been careful and cautious, and what you said makes sense. Ahem... Yu Xie is a good chess move, and your majesty must not hold it in your hands. If the chess piece deviates or falls, change it immediately. Do you understand? Ahem..."
"Yes, Father Xiong." Yu Rui lowered his eyebrows: "Father Xiong, it is said that His Majesty and the Emperor's wife had a quarrel recently."
"Oh?" Duke Yu raised his eyelids curiously: "Your Majesty has become more gentle and tactful in recent years, why would he quarrel with the Emperor's wife?"
In the past, the nobles had spies in the palace, but since the Emperor's husband entered the palace, the spies of each family have been almost eliminated. The remaining families only have one or two hidden outer spies, and the information they can get from the palace is becoming increasingly scarce.
For the news to be known to the spies outside, His Majesty and his wife must have had a big fight...
Yu Rui had a strange expression on his face. "I heard it was related to Yu Xie. His Majesty appointed Yu Xie as the prince's martial arts master without consulting the emperor's husband in advance, so the emperor's husband was very angry."
The two of them were speechless for a while. After a while, Duke Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "We suspect that this assassination was the work of His Majesty, but the Miller family suspects that the assassination was ours... Why, he still thinks that we planted Yu Xie next to His Majesty to share the same power with him?"
"On the surface, Yu Xiebi is the hero of the Yu family after all. Now he is not only a major general, but also a martial arts teacher to the prince. The Yu family is really glorious..." Yu Rui was holding his breath. Being too glorious would easily make him a target of criticism, which was not a good thing. In future social banquets, he was afraid that the weirdness of those nobles would be enough to make him drink a pot of wine.
Knock, knock——!
"Duke, eldest son." The butler bowed and said, "His Majesty sent an envoy from the palace to give you a reward."
…
In the Duke's Mansion, Duke Yu saw the royal envoy smiling like a flower as soon as he came down. He gave him a chest-touching salute and his voice was as loud as a crow.
"Duke Yu, Your Excellency Yu Rui, congratulations to both of you." The messenger looked very happy and honored, and seemed very sincere.
Yu Rui frowned in confusion: "Why did your Majesty give me this reward?"
Logically speaking, Yu Xie was granted a title and promoted to the prince's military teacher, so His Majesty should indeed reward him, but the reward should be sent to the Major General's Mansion. What does it have to do with them?
The messenger was stunned: "Don't you two know?"
Duke Yu and Yu Rui were both confused.
"This... the hospital provided a test certificate, saying that your pheromone concentration is as high as 100%, and the match with Major General Fu is also 100%. This is a great event that the Noliflan Empire has not encountered in hundreds of years... Major General Fu's mental strength has now recovered well, and he will definitely allow the empire to take the lead in the New Year's military exercises and the Winter Beast Tide. His Majesty is happy and said that you helped Major General Fu choose a good leader, so he specially rewarded you to thank you."
The messenger blinked his eyes, wondering, isn't Mr. Yu Xie the son of Duke Yu? His Majesty would certainly reward a son with 100% pheromone concentration. What's there to be confused about?
unless……
Oh no!
The messenger thought he had discovered some secret!
After the messenger left, the rewards sent by the palace had already filled the entire hall of the Duke's Mansion. Duke Yu looked at these rewards, without catching his breath, and sat back on the sofa.
How can the residual pheromone concentration be 100%?
“Impossible!” Yu Rui’s expression changed. He was the one who detected Yu Xie’s glandular problems and pheromone concentration. How could it be 100%? “…It must be His Majesty who is causing trouble!”
"...Ahem...Your Majesty is not a fool. It is impossible for him to come up with such absurd numbers to deceive the imperial common people, not to mention the medical officers of the hospital and the researchers of the research institute. Do you think they are all your majesty's insects? If there is any falsification in the numbers, the nobles will know it!" Duke Yu sighed: "Your Majesty is forcing me to return home..."
Yu Xie's being given a title had already stirred up troubles in the noble faction, and now, coupled with Yu Xie's 100% pheromone concentration and matching degree, it was simply telling the other noble factions that our Yu family had already surrendered to His Majesty, and that we would not only help the backbone of the military faction to restore their spiritual power, but also dig out the corners of other noble factions and disperse their power!
Your Majesty is really calculating. If Duke Yu does not join your Majesty's ship today, I am afraid that what awaits the Yu family is not only the attack from the military, but also the revenge from the nobles...
And the root of all these problems is actually in Yuxi?
Duke Yu closed his eyes: This rest... is definitely problematic.
…
Ouch!
He put down the wontons in his hand and rubbed his nose.
Fu Qing's vacation is about to end these days, and he hasn't graduated yet, so he can't immediately start working as Fu Qing's life adjutant. But he can still deliver food to him during his lunch break...
Yuxie Shangshen was really looking forward to the day when he could feed his wife, and he didn't know whether the major general's office was soundproof.
