Monster Escape Room Re-Employment Chapter 27
byTrue colors revealed (3)
“Lou Xian, your feeling of anger for me is called love among humans.”
Jiang Lingyi was afraid that Lou Xian might have an idea and interpret it as some other emotion, so she quickly added.
“Why do I feel that you are inducing me…”
“No, no, how could it be~”
Lou Xian’s amber golden pupils stared at him, as if to confirm the authenticity of his words.
At least, he can be sure that Jiang Lingyi is very important to him.
He did consider turning Jiang Lingyi into his snake belly… Although the thought only lasted for a moment, he actually felt at ease at the time, which proved how much he wanted Jiang Lingyi to be by his side.
Also, although he took the initiative to avoid Jiang Lingyi in the past few days, his figure always appeared in front of his eyes, and in the end he couldn’t help but project himself into his dream to meet him.
Recalling the physical contact during the operation, there was no doubt that there was something close to lust that affected him and made him become unlike himself.
If Jiang Lingyi said this is love, then so be it.
With an unprecedented sense of novelty, he readily accepted Jiang Lingyi’s definition of this relationship.
“Jiang Lingyi, I… don’t want to be separated from you anymore.”
The giant snake lowered its neck and hung its head above his thigh, as if it wanted to snuggle but didn’t dare.
Jiang Lingyi leaned forward and closed her eyes.
“Yeah, me too.”
“I haven’t recovered to the extent that I can maintain my human form and use spells at all times like before, but…if you don’t mind, I can turn into a smaller snake.”
“…”
Seeing Jiang Lingyi’s silence, Lou Xian couldn’t help but worry.I heard that humans don’t like snakes very much… Dreams are one thing, reality is another. Is he really still afraid?
Jiang Lingyi murmured: “That’s right…”
Then…?Too disgusting?Too much trouble?
Lou Xian waited cautiously.
“——That’s so cool!!”
Jiang Lingyi suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining, like a child who had just received a complete set of dinosaur models.
As long as he stretched out his wrist, a silver-green, seemingly tall white snake would come out of his sleeve. Most people would probably be scared to death.
“Y-yeah… As long as you don’t mind.”
Lou Xian breathed a sigh of relief, “After all, this is not a place for mortals to stay for a long time. Please go back quickly. I will wish you a good sleep next.”
“You’re so considerate.” Jiang Lingyi hugged him in a feigned way, jumped neatly, and landed firmly on the ground.
He took a few steps and didn’t forget to turn around and wave to Lou Xian. His slender pupils stared at him, swaying slightly like flames.
The old man who greeted him was still waiting: “Mr. Jiang.”
“Let’s go.” Different from when he came, he felt refreshed now.
The two of them boarded the subway again, sitting next to each other, and the subway started to rumble.
For some reason, Jiang Lingyi felt that the old man seemed to have something to say: “Old man?”
“Luo Su has caused a lot of trouble for you and Mr. Lou Xian, and he has also gotten involved with innocent people…”
The old man suddenly turned to him and bent down deeply, almost reaching the ground.
“Ah? You and that guy…could it be that-”
“Yes, I am the grandfather of that unfilial descendant.” His voice was full of regret and apology.
“I just wanted to find a home for him…who would have thought that he would become what he is now!”
“Although I was furious, Lou Xian didn’t blame him.”
“Sir Lou Xian thinks it’s okay, but that doesn’t mean it’s really okay. Although I really only have a handful of bones left, I’m not that shameless yet.” The old man became a little calmer, and his tone became a little detached and decisive.
“I’m not here to ask for your forgiveness. Luo Su should be responsible for what he did.”
“Then you are…”
“I want to stop that kid at all costs, even if it means…killing him.”
“He is your grandson? How can you kill your relatives with such righteousness?”
Jiang Lingyi didn’t think Luo Su was excusable, but just made the most basic confirmation of the old man’s determination.
“It is precisely because he is my grandson that I want to kill him.”
“When the time comes, I will beg Lord Lou Xian to eat him for the sake of his abilities…”
…As expected of a senior snake belly.Much more cruel than Lou Xian himself.
For Lou Xian, devouring life is as normal as eating and drinking; in this case, the person being eaten needs more courage and courage to witness his own destruction.
“But he is in another world, isn’t he? We are on Earth, how can we deal with him?”
Jiang Lingyi felt that there was something wrong with her brain when she started thinking seriously about how to kill Luo Su…
Could it be said that this is also the influence of the formation?Or is it out of his own will?
Now some people who can’t figure out their true thoughts have turned into Jiang Lingyi.
“He can project it, so why can’t we project it?”
“That would require a lot of strength, wouldn’t it?”
“Isn’t your mission to gather strength for Lord Lou Xian?” the old man asked.
Jiang Lingyi was speechless and choked.After working for a long time, I have to return to the store operation.
He was recruiting customers so slowly, and he didn’t know that it would be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse… Luo Su’s next move would not wait for anyone.
You must find a way to quickly accumulate enough energy in a short period of time.
The car windows on both sides began to flash, as if they were about to return to the ground light rail section. Jiang Lingyi was prepared to welcome the darkness of that moment…
Then he fell into a real dream.
…
The next day, he was awakened by a cold and wet touch. He opened the quilt and saw a silver-green snake nearly two meters long, as thick as a bowl, slumped on him like a noodle entangled in the quilt. He was so frightened that he almost rolled off the bed.
But before rolling down, he immediately remembered his dream last night and stabilized his body.
It was so dangerous, I almost heard the sound effect of Lou Xian’s favorability decreasing…
However, in reality, even a body size of only two meters is quite intimidating.
“Are you awake?” Lou Xian opened his eyes immediately, and his pupils had returned to their normal dark gray.
“Huh? Your eyes…”
“Eyes? Ah…golden color only appears when it shows its true form and is unstable.”
“I see.” Jiang Lingyi nodded, “By the way, is this your ‘portable mode’? It still feels a bit too big…?” At least it should be more than enough to hang an adult man like him.
Before Lou Xian could answer, the cell phone on the bedside rang loudly.Jiang Lingyi scratched her hair and brought it over, glanced at the caller ID, and her face suddenly became very stiff.
He stared at the screen with a very fearful look and hesitated to answer, as if he was deliberately waiting for the other party to hang up. However, the other party also seemed to see through his thoughts and would not give up until he got through.
Lou Xian couldn’t help but be curious about who could make him behave like this. He straightened his body and put his head to his hand.
I saw three big characters displayed on the screen – “Jiang Xinyue”.
Lou Xian said: “You’d better answer it, otherwise the doorbell will ring soon.”
Jiang Lingyi sighed helplessly, knowing that Lou Xian’s judgment was completely correct, and finally clicked the connect button and turned on the hands-free.
“My father was critically ill last night. The doctor issued a notice. If he doesn’t wake up within 48 hours, he will have to prepare for the funeral.”
The moment he was connected, a stern but sharp female voice told him a breathtaking news.
Jiang Lingyi accidentally clenched her phone and said coldly: “What does it have to do with me if the old man wants to die?”
“Originally, it was true. But this time it’s serious. All the relatives of my family are on their way. There is a clause in my father’s will involving heirs that requires the person concerned to be present in person.”
“I’m not going.” Jiang Lingyi refused.
“This has nothing to do with your wishes.” Jiang Xinyue’s tone was as cold as Jiang Lingyi’s, as if the dying old man was an insignificant stranger.Hearing Jiang Lingyi’s speechlessness, she sneered, “This is also a good opportunity to completely cut off your connection with the Jiang family. Isn’t it exactly what you dreamed of? Or are you reluctant to give up your inheritance? Don’t forget, your surname is Jiang.”
Jiang Lingyi was furious: “That’s my mother Jiang Xin’s Jiang, not Jiang Jiujie’s old and immortal surname!!”
“Whatever you say, you can’t escape this time.”
Jiang Xinyue said with some gloating.
As if she could see the scene here, she cut off the call before Jiang Lingyi hung up.He threw the phone on the bed in an extremely irritable manner and cursed loudly.
“Old bastard, you won’t let me go even if you die!”
Lou Xian put her warm body against his arm, and he shivered immediately, but thanks to his body temperature, which was slightly lower than that of humans, his mind calmed down a lot.
“I’m sorry…I let you see the embarrassing side.”
“I already knew it.”
Yes, Jiang Lingyi once confirmed to Lou Xian whether he knew about the past that he didn’t want to know. The answer he got at that time was yes, but when the matter about his life experience was really exposed in front of Lou Xian, Jiang Lingyi still felt very uncomfortable.
“Jiang Lingyi, I hope you can open up everything about you to me, including your past and your thoughts…”
“Although you are not my lover, I hope we can have a close and seamless relationship like that.”
Lou Xian stretched his body, circled Jiang Lingyi’s ribs twice, and stopped in front of him. This may be a hug that a body without arms can express, and Jiang Lingyi felt a bit of exclusivity from this slightly tightening force. I hope this is not his illusion.
He patted his scales in relief: “I’m fine.” He tilted his head and thought for a moment, “In that case, do you want to go back with me?”
“Going back to Jiang’s house with you?” Lou Xian was surprised.
Jiang Lingyi nodded: “Can you make it smaller? It’s wrapped around my arm, and it’s hard to see because it’s covered by a shirt.”
“Well…that’s no problem…”
“There are many Jiang family members. You can take this opportunity to absorb the essence. If you can see the old man, it doesn’t matter if you just suck him to death. Rather, I will be very grateful to you.”
Lou Xian couldn’t tell whether his tone was serious or joking, but his proposal was indeed exciting.Staying in the illusion all the time, the power that can be restored by sleeping is very limited.Unlike his subordinates, Lou Xian can absorb essence without resorting to the Yin-Yang Clutch Formation. It would be great to have this opportunity to go out and meet a large number of people.
Jiang Lingyi quickly dressed up and stretched out his hand towards Lou Xian. The latter was still a little greedy for the warmth in the bed. He lay in the dent of Jiang Lingyi’s sleep and twisted his body comfortably, which made him feel extremely affectionate in his heart.
“Let’s go, my Lord Shura Snake.”
“Please don’t use that title…” Lou Xian was glad that Snake couldn’t see the blush.
“I don’t want to belong to anyone else except you. It’s time to make it clear to those annoying Jiang family members. I, the illegitimate son, don’t owe them a penny.”
