Chapter Index

    It was Duan Xi who discovered Chu Jingyun first. When he was fixing Wei Lin’s collar and hood, he happened to see Chu Jingyun standing in the dark with an incomprehensible expression.

    He frowned subconsciously. He didn’t even notice when Chu Jingyun was standing there.

    His eyes were dim, but his face was calm and he said to Chu Jingyun: “Didn’t I ask you to build a den for the wolves? What are you doing standing there?”

    With a hint of worry on his face, Chu Jingyun slowly stepped into the courtyard, the hem of his clothes fluttering and swaying with the night wind and pace.

    He stood in front of the two of them, glanced at Wei Lin first, and then told what happened when he saw Zhao Ning’er causing trouble at the mountain gate.

    Duan Xi frowned even more tightly, “What is she here for?”

    “Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. I’m afraid they have ulterior motives.” Chu Jingyun meant something.

    Duan Xi was silent, knowing what Chu Jingyun wanted to express.With Zhao Ning’er’s embroidered mind, it was impossible for her to think of coming to deal with Wei Lin. She was probably instigated by someone.

    The mastermind behind the scenes probably wanted to use her as a shield so that he could do something to Wei Lin.

    He has always kept Wei Lin’s existence secret, and he also knows that someone is determined to find Wei Lin. No matter how secretive he is, Wei Lin’s existence cannot be airtight.

    It was only a matter of time before those people knew that Wei Lin was in his hands, but they didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

    This Tianmen, I’m afraid it will have to be cleaned again.

    “Don’t pay attention to her, she’s just a brainless person.” He flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, “Go back and send more people to watch in the dark. I want to see who dares to touch my people under my nose.”

    Duan Xi was obviously angry. Someone was targeting Wei Lin and wanted to do something under his nose. It would be too disrespectful to take him seriously.

    As the protagonist at the center of the incident, Wei Lin had no opinion to express except silence.He is just a fragile medicine jar now. How the situation develops is not something he can control.

    The only thing he could do was probably to quietly make a vase and place it motionless in its place.

    As if he still felt uneasy enough, Duan Xi ordered again: “Let Tianyi keep an eye on it in person. I don’t worry about the others.”

    Chu Jingyun’s mind moved. This was a great opportunity to get close to the Valley Master. He offered himself up and said: “Master, why don’t you let me come in person? My cultivation level is much higher than Tianyi’s. There are not many people who can beat me.”

    Wei Lin’s heart skipped a beat and he didn’t feel happy. Instead, he secretly begged Duan Xi not to agree.

    This Chu Jingyun is guarding him every day. His already precarious vest is not going to fall off in any minute.

    Perhaps there was a tacit understanding, so Duan Xi refused without hesitation. He said, “It’s enough for Tianyi to look at it here. As for you, I have other important things for you to do.”

    Chu Jingyun was startled and secretly thought it was a pity, but he did not show too many emotions.He stood up straight and said, “My subordinate understands.”

    Wei Lin listened silently from beginning to end, with a calm expression on his face, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

    He watched Duan Xi whisper a few words into Chu Jingyun’s ear, but he couldn’t hear exactly what he said. He could only see Chu Jingyun’s pupils shrinking slightly and his expression solemn after listening.

    “My subordinates will do it now.”

    Chu Jingyun left in a hurry and left without even saying goodbye to Wei Lin.

    He was curious in his heart, but he didn’t know how to ask. Sometimes the less he knew, it was a good thing.

    Duan Xi didn’t intend to say too much on that topic. He raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said to Wei Lin: “It’s time to take some medicinal food. I’ll get it for you.”

    Wei Lin knew that he was looking for an excuse to leave, so he nodded and said: “Go ahead, I’ll wait for you.”

    Duan Xi didn’t mean to hide anything from Wei Lin. He said, “Wait here for a moment. I’ll arrange things and come back right away.”

    The night breeze showed off his strength, and he took Wei Lin’s hand. The latter shrank subconsciously, but he held it tightly.

    “It’s cold outside, so try not to stay outside for too long at night to avoid catching a cold.”

    Duan Xi led him towards the living room step by step, feeling a hot touch on his palm, like a burning flame, which made his earlobes turn red.

    Wei Lin was overwhelmed by this sudden concern. When the two of them stood in the living room, he withdrew his hand and raised his head, not daring to look directly at the person in front of him.

    He secretly took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, nothing was abnormal.

    He said very calmly: “Go ahead, I won’t stop you from doing your business. Let others deliver the medicine and food. I know how to take care of myself.”

    Duan Xi stared at his clear golden eyes and said after a while: “Okay.”

    Duan Xi left, and the medicinal meal was quickly delivered. Even if Duan Xi was not there, the person who delivered the medicinal meal followed his instructions and watched him finish eating before packing up the dishes and leaving.

    The yard was quiet again, except for the three extra wolves in the family.

    Outside the courtyard, the older wolves cuddled together, lying on the lawn with their eyes closed and dozing off. The male wolf teased the cubs with his tail.

    The little wolf cub was tired of flapping around. He sniffed with his pink nose, locked the direction of Wei Lin, and then stumbled towards the living room.

    The male Sirius raised his head and took a look. Seeing that he was looking for Wei Lin, he lowered his head in relief and covered the female Sirius with his freed tail.

    Looking at the little Sirius who took three steps and stumbled, equivalent to rolling over, Wei Lin’s originally depressed mood suddenly became clear.

    He couldn’t help but raise the corner of his mouth, picked up the little Sirius that was circling around his legs, and placed it on his lap.

    Sirius was very naughty. He bit his hand and played with it while not forgetting to control his strength. The tail behind him almost shook like a propeller.

    Wei Lin felt tired after playing with it for a while, so he put Little Sirius on the ground.Sirius whirled in dissatisfaction and tried to jump on his short legs a few times, trying to forcefully jump back onto his lap.

    Wei Lin patted its little head and said softly: “It’s very late. Children should go to bed early, otherwise they won’t grow up.”

    Little Sirius tilted his head and thought for a while, then whined twice, as if in response to him, and then ran back to his parents in a hurry.

    Seeing his parents clinging to each other, the wolf tried to find several angles but failed to get in the middle. In the end, it could only lie down against the female wolf’s tail in aggrieved manner.

    Wei Linshi smiled and shook his head, took off his fox fur cloak, turned around and walked into the bathroom.

    Medicinal baths every night are indispensable. I don’t know whether it’s because the medicinal baths are effective or because Duan Xi has been around him recently. He no longer suffers from pain in his hands every day like he did at the beginning, and his reaction to nausea and vomiting is not as strong as it was at the beginning. Although his body is still very weak, he will not fall down when the wind blows.

    Lying in the tub and leaning against the edge, Wei Lin closed his eyes and fell asleep.

    In a daze, he seemed to see a little fat baby crawling towards him quickly.The little chubby baby’s facial features were very delicate and beautiful, and she looked vaguely familiar. The short red hair on her head was particularly dazzling.

    He stared blankly as the little chubby baby crawled up to his legs, tugged on the hem of his clothes, laughed happily, and called him daddy.

    Wei Lin woke up suddenly, with cold sweat on his forehead.

    Suddenly a child appeared and called him daddy, which scared him terribly.

    He raised his hand to wipe his sweaty forehead and let out a long breath: “It turned out to be a dream.”

    He couldn’t sleep this time, the steaming mist made the whole room hazy.

    He rubbed his brows tiredly, but the pain kept rising again and again, and his legs suddenly tingled unbearably. He reached out and touched his hands, which were cold and hard.

    Wei Lin: “…”

    The feeling just now seemed like scales again.

    After the scales grew on his waist and then disappeared, the same situation never happened again. He almost forgot about it, but today, scales grew on both legs, and there seemed to be quite a lot of them.

    He tried to lift one leg, and a snake tail covered with silver-white scales emerged from the water, and a strand of silver-white hair fell from his shoulder.

    From the reflection on the water, he saw that his golden eyes turned into snake-like vertical pupils, cold and sharp.

    Wei Lin: “!!!”

    If it weren’t for holding the edge of the bucket with both hands, Wei Lin almost slipped into the water.

    He had always guessed that the original owner might not be human, but he didn’t expect it to be so exciting when he first arrived.

    The scales still glowed with a cold light in the steaming mist. When you reach out and touch them, the coldness penetrates your body, as if it has been frozen for thousands of years.

    Wei Lin retracted his hand in excitement.

    The snake’s tail did not appear for long. Within a few seconds, all the scales fell off, and the skin turned back to fair and flawless. The long silver hair was also dyed black again.

    Wei Lin’s worldview was shaky. He didn’t know which clan of monsters the half-human, half-snake was. He subconsciously thought of Nuwa and Fuxi from ancient times.

    Nuwa and Fuxi are both human and snake-tailed, so I wonder if the half-human, half-snake in this world are of the same race as Nuwa.

    Thinking again about the original owner’s subordinates, their codenames happened to be based on the four mythical beasts, Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, Xuanwu, and Jiufeng who took Suzaku’s place at the back.

    Judging from the current situation, Suzaku Duan Liqing is indeed a genuine sacred bird Suzaku.Because Duan Xi has half of the Suzaku bloodline, the plot of Duan Xi transforming into a Suzaku was also written in the original article.

    Based on this reasoning, the code names of the other few may be their prototypes.

    I just don’t know who Chu Jingyun who was placed next to Duan Xi is Qinglong, Baihu or Xuanwu.

    Wei Lin leaned against the edge of the bucket weakly. The original owner’s life experience became more and more mysterious, and the burden on his shoulders became heavier by several kilograms.

    He remembered the rumor about Guigu. Now that someone came up to him and said it was true, he probably wouldn’t doubt it anymore.

    How many secrets did the original owner hide and how big of a chess game did he lay? He couldn’t even guess what the original owner wanted to do.

    Who killed Duan Liqing and put the blame on the original owner? Why did the original owner place someone next to Duan Xi? What was Chu Jingyun’s plan?

    Wei Lin felt that sooner or later he would be driven crazy by these questions.

    The original owner dug so many holes, but he didn’t know where it went, and he was the unlucky guy who was forced to put it on the shelves halfway.

    The author has something to say: Zaizai: I seem to have scared daddy. Does daddy not like me? QAQ
