SCWP Chapter 30

Not in a hurry.

Not in a hurry.

“I’m crazy.” Meng Yu squeezed out the words Lin Qichi had used to scold him during the battle just now, still dwelling on it.

“My body is covered in your teeth marks. If you’re not crazy, who is? You little crazy.” It wouldn’t have been a big deal if he hadn’t mentioned it, but as soon as he did, Lin Qichi got angry, and in a fit of pique, pinched Meng Yu’s nose.

Once he got excited, he became a madman, like a disobedient puppy, gnawing everywhere. Fortunately, he said everything he needed to say, and finally stopped him from biting the parts of his skin that couldn’t be covered.

“Who told you to shout nonsense?” Meng Yu’s argument was unreasonable, but his tone was firm.

“What did I shout?” Lin Qichi felt like his head was about to explode.

Meng Yu kept pestering him to call his name. Besides “Meng Yu,” what else could he call him?

Meng Yu was in the wrong, but he was still unconvinced, so he just kept biting him everywhere.

Lin Qichi didn’t quite understand this behavior of his, but fortunately, Meng Yu wasn’t like this often. Only occasionally would he especially like to gnaw and bite him, and thankfully, he didn’t bite too deep, so he could still meet people.

“You don’t know which one you should call?” Meng Yu’s eyes were dark, and compared to the shy look he had a few days ago, only his appearance hadn’t changed.

En Sihan urged him again, and there was some new situation with Wen Ren Shu.

Lin Qichi looked at Meng Yu and asked, “Are you going?”

“Together is fine.”

Meng Yu naturally took Lin Qichi’s hand and pushed the door out together.

A word suddenly popped into Lin Qichi’s mind: skin hunger.

“He should be absorbing the remnant souls, and his soul is unstable. He’s in the process of adapting now.” Meng Yu explained quietly in Lin Qichi’s ear, the heat from his voice tickling Lin Qichi’s earlobe, making him uncomfortably dodge.

Lin Qichi looked at Wen Ren Shu on the bed. From a distance, his limbs were very still, but a closer look revealed the clues.

Wen Ren Shu’s brows were furrowed, his body was covered in a cold sweat, and his expression was struggling, looking extremely painful. It really looked like his soul was unstable.

The Wen Ren family’s secret techniques were mainly offensive, with very few methods to protect the body and stabilize the mind.

Fortunately, when Lin Qichi went to inform the family head, he gave him some secret treasures that could temporarily stabilize the soul.

Lin Qichi took out a golden lotus flower, still in bud, and placed it on Wen Ren Shu’s brow, slowly releasing his hand.

The golden lotus bud lost its support, but it didn’t fall down, hovering gently one finger’s distance above Wen Ren Shu’s brow.

The golden light of the bud suddenly surged, covering Wen Ren Shu’s whole body, and the petals slowly bloomed in the golden glow.

“Soul-Seizing Golden Lotus?” Meng Yu looked at the crimson lotus seed in the center and couldn’t help but be surprised for a moment.

The Soul-Seizing Golden Lotus was a treasure that the Wen Ren family didn’t pass on to outsiders. It was said to be able to seize souls and spirits, but he didn’t expect it could also nourish souls and protect the mind.

“You know about this?” Lin Qichi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Most people shouldn’t even know the name of the Soul-Seizing Golden Lotus’s secret. Judging from Meng Yu’s surprised look, he should even know a little about its function.

“There was a seed in the Western Regions that could seize people’s souls. The Wen Ren clan upheld righteousness and destroyed it, but couldn’t bear for its unique skill to disappear into the world, so they refined its body and soul into a white lotus. After a hundred years of refinement, they finally created a Soul-Seizing Golden Lotus…”

Lin Qichi hurriedly interrupted him: “Okay, okay, I know you know a lot, you don’t have to say it.”

What came after was the Wen Ren family’s scandal. If he continued to speak, it would inevitably harm the impression others had of the Wen Ren family.

Meng Yu wasn’t willing to stop so easily, and quietly drew a circle in Lin Qichi’s palm, and wrote a “three” inside the circle.

He was asking him for a reward. Lin Qichi sighed silently.

He also lightly scratched in Meng Yu’s palm, and Meng Yu contentedly squeezed Lin Qichi’s fingertips.

Step by step, slowly.

The lotus seedpod in the lotus flower on Wen Ren Shu’s brow was revealed, and a lotus seed quietly formed.

The golden light from the lotus seed was even more intense, and another layer of light covered Wen Ren Shu’s whole body, straightening out the remnant souls in his body. The light gradually exhausted itself, and the lotus flower returned to its bud form.

Before the lotus flower fell to the ground, a slender, fair hand caught it.

Wen Ren Shu finally painfully opened his eyes, and the first thing he said to Lin Qichi was: “Brother, it hurts.”

“Don’t worry, you’re not dead.”

Wen Ren Shu grinned. His soul was still being repaired and fitted together, and he didn’t have the strength to argue.

“Rest well first. After you rest, we’ll hurry back.”

Wen Ren Shu used his eyes to ask: Did something happen at home?

Lin Qichi couldn’t understand his winking and grimacing, and said directly: “I’m going back to come out of the closet, and you’re coming with me, ready to take over my position.”

A few words shocked everyone in the room except Lin Qichi.

Wen Ren Shu struggled to get up, but Lin Qichi pressed him down with one finger.

Regardless of how flustered everyone behind him was, he took Meng Yu and left. It was time for lunch.

He wasn’t worried at all about leaving En Sihan and Wen Ren Shu, a single man and a single woman, alone in the same room.

Meng Yu wanted to ask something along the way, but hesitated all the way. Finally, when Lin Qichi took him to the hot pot restaurant from yesterday, he couldn’t help but ask something that was exactly the opposite of what he wanted to say on the road: “Why do you want to eat hot pot again?”

“Not tired of it.” Lin Qichi replied first.

The Wen Ren family had always emphasized self-cultivation and moral character. He hadn’t had hot pot in a long time. He finally got out once, and there happened to be a delicious restaurant, so of course he had to eat his fill.

Meng Yu helplessly followed Lin Qichi to eat a hot pot meal. Fortunately, this time it was a real private world, without any third wheels to disturb them.

Meng Yu ate quietly, rarely speaking. Lin Qichi, as a foodie who enjoyed the taste of food, didn’t like to talk while eating even more.

After they finished eating, it had started to drizzle. In the downtown area, using talismans to avoid the rain would inevitably attract attention. Lin Qichi told Meng Yu to wait there while he went to get the car.

Fortunately, Boss Chen had prepared several more cars for them before he left. After the two they had used to go up the mountain were scrapped, they could still change to a clean one to eat in a presentable manner.

It was just that parking was difficult in the downtown area.

It seemed that sometimes he should still rely on the family and have a driver, which would save a lot of trouble.

As soon as Lin Qichi left, the car that had come to pick up Meng Yu from the Meng family arrived.

Rain fell around Lin Qichi, and was turned into wisps of smoke by a thin layer of gas, and not a drop of rain touched his body.

The two of them knew that what they had said just now was only a polite excuse. The Meng family had already arrived, and after the farewell meal, it was time to say goodbye.

In the coming days, he would have to deal with the matter of the scrapyard. Just in case, he had to prevent the stability from being disturbed by the world line again, and he also had to bring En Sihan along.

He also had to think about how to make her realize that this wasn’t her world. As an ordinary person and a young girl, it would be good for her to go back to school early. She had finally gotten into college.

As for Meng Yu, it seemed that he also had his plans, and he couldn’t interfere. The Wen Ren family had been out of the world for a long time, and he alone now represented the entire Wen Ren family.

In the original world line, Wen Ren Yi sacrificed himself to the Ghost Gate, becoming the last and most crucial barrier, and Wen Ren Shu subsequently took control of the Wen Ren family.

He just wanted to advance this process a little bit, so that Wen Ren Shu could adapt a bit before officially taking over.

As for the rest, there was no need to rush.
